The Xiongnu entered the customs, the emperor was trapped, the world was shaken, and everyone in the Great Chu Dynasty who held a lot of power was faced with a common choice: to save or not to save. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The choice of Wang Meiren in the palace is very simple, she can only save and must be saved, even if she takes her own life, she must save the emperor and save her son.

After getting the news, Wang Meiren's first move was to ask the Queen Mother for help, the current situation is changing, and she needs an experienced guide.

The Queen Mother is not what it used to be, she has lost her son, relatives and enemies, and there is no pursuit in her heart, sitting on the chair for an hour or two, as if her soul is swimming outside her body, she has long forgotten the world, including the emperor of this world.

"The Huns? Emperor? Looking at Wang Meiren who was kneeling on the ground and crying, the Queen Mother tried to concentrate so that she could understand everything Wang Meiren said, and then she smiled, "The Huns have really entered the customs." ”

"The Queen Mother guessed all this?" Wang Meiren was both surprised and happy, at this moment, the Queen Mother was a great prophet who could see through the future in her eyes.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "I just want to make Da Chu so weak...... I've handed over everything, what more do you want? ”

Wang Meiren kowtowed, "Ask the Queen Mother for guidance." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, "For thousands of years, the strength and weakness of the Central Plains and the Xiongnu have changed from time to time, the strong are respected, the weak are humble, and there is no way to do it, if you want to save the emperor, you can only start from the Huns." ”

"Summation?"

"I can't think of anything else." The Queen Mother sighed and said no more.

Wang Meiren retired, standing at the door of the dormitory, and suddenly found that she was powerless, she thought that the future would be long, and she was not in a hurry to fight for the title of the queen mother, but she didn't expect to fall into a desperate situation so soon, and she was unexpectedly unavailable now.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between the emperor's biological mother and the empress dowager of Great Chu, many ministers secretly curry favor with the emperor's biological mother, but only the empress dowager can give formal orders to the ministers.

Wang Meiren thought about it and felt that she still had to find someone to help, and someone had to help her control the ministers outside.

Yang Feng, the middle palm seal, came quite quickly, but as the person the emperor trusted and relied on the most, he didn't seem so urgent, his steps were calm, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to know the emperor's situation.

"There is Lao Yang Gong, the danger of Jincheng, can the ministers of the DPRK and China have countermeasures?" Wang Meiren got up and returned the salute, didn't care about greetings, and asked questions directly.

"Lord Shou Xiang Shen is discussing with the ministers for several days, and he has sent troops to the Quartet to rescue him."

"I'm a female streamer and I don't understand military intelligence, but the Chu army went to the rescue, won't the Huns step up the siege of the city?"

"The matter has come to this, Your Majesty must first protect himself, and cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, so that it is possible to get out of trouble."

"Yang Gong said it lightly!" Wang Meiren felt a burst of anger, and immediately softened her tone and apologized to Yang Feng, "I am anxious to save my son, Yang Gong is not to blame." I think that the most important thing at the moment is not to defeat the Huns, not to recover the lost territory, but to keep Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, and there will be a day of revival in Great Chu, if Your Majesty dies, Great Chu will be in danger. ”

"The ministers also thought so."

"Therefore, it is better to ask the Huns for peace, they all say that the Huns are greedy for money and profit, and whatever they want, give them to them, as long as they can exchange them for Your Majesty."

Yang Feng pondered for a moment, "If in the past, the Huns would have been easy to dismiss, gold, silver, copper, iron, silk cloth, and even peace could impress the Huns, but this time it was different, what Da Dan wanted was the land and the city wall......"

"Then give them too." Wang Meiren said sharply, she didn't understand why Yang Feng was not in a hurry, "Give whatever you want, I just want the emperor to return to Beijing safely." ”

Yang Feng bowed and saluted, unwilling to argue with Wang Meiren, "Okay, I'll go and tell the ministers to see what they think." ”

Wang Meiren returned the salute, "Your Majesty's life hangs in the hands of Yang Gong." ”

Yang Feng said: "I will do my best, and I also ask Wang Meiren to communicate with the queen more." ”

Wang Meiren was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that the queen's father was quelling the chaos in Qi and holding the military power, Cui Hong may not be able to save the emperor, but he can kill the emperor.

"Your Majesty is my beloved son, and Queen Yu is my husband, and the two of us have the same illness and sympathy, and we will be of one heart and one mind."

Yang Feng retired, for him, suing for peace was not the only way to save the emperor, let alone the best way.

The Great Chu Emperor had to think about the Great Chu first, Yang Feng thought so, and he believed that the emperor also had the same idea.

After consulting with several important ministers such as Shouxiang Shen Mingzhi, Yang Feng put forward three suggestions:

First of all, send an envoy to negotiate with the Huns, not to succeed, but to be able to relieve the pressure on Jincheng a little, and at the same time to appease the Wang Meiren in the palace.

Then mobilize the troops of the counties and counties, levy men, and all march in the direction of Jincheng to guard the important towns north and east of Luoyang, and must not let the Huns attack the city and plunder the land.

Finally, Yang Feng suggested choosing a new emperor.

Once the Jin city is breached, whether the emperor is dead or captured, the capital immediately supports the new emperor, so as not to have no owner in the world, and can also cut off the greater ambition of the Huns.

In fact, the ministers had already thought of this trick, but no one dared to put it forward, Yang Feng was the emperor's confidant, and it was very appropriate for him to pierce this layer of window paper, as for his eunuch status, the ministers automatically ignored it, and solemnly demanded that Yang Feng's suggestion be recorded in the middle palm seal, and not a word was allowed to be changed.

Although this was the last piece of advice, it was only after this that the first two suggestions were taken seriously, and the official department Shangshu personally sent an envoy to the Xiongnu, the military department Shangshu sat in Luoyang to supervise the Kwantung armies, and Yang Feng wrote a letter in his own handwriting, entrusting Ping Enhou to send it to the general Cui Hong.

In this letter, Yang Feng explained in detail the countermeasures and intentions of the imperial court, saying that the capital has selected a child of the clan, but it is not enough, and the ministers all think that the youngest son of Emperor Wu, King Ying, although his rank is higher than that of the current emperor, but he has participated in the battle for the throne, and the four people at that time were one dead and two trapped, and if the king can be rescued, he is also qualified to be the emperor.

This move was to divide the Huns from the Linzi rebels, and if the British king who had been held hostage could become emperor, the most important purpose of the rebels would have been achieved, and there was no need to collude with the Huns - even if they wanted to, the Huns would be suspicious.

Yang Feng explained everything clearly, Cui Hong no longer had any doubts, and joined forces with Chai Yue and Fang Daye, moved the main force to Pengcheng, intercepted the Hun cavalry going south, and announced to Linzi City that if the British king returned to Beijing in time, he would have a chance to be the emperor.

The rebels did not give an answer, but after most of the Chu troops outside the city left, they did not try their best to break through the siege, and still stuck to Linzi, obviously there was internal strife.

For the Chu army, this was enough, Chai Yue made a plan, asking the imperial court to send the mobilized army to Pengcheng as much as possible, he first sent 20,000 people to repel the 10,000 Hun cavalry going south, and then the whole army marched slowly, seize the time to replenish the troops, not to go to Jincheng to rescue, but to go straight to Yan.

Da Shan Yu was in the Yan State, angry at the indecision of the Linzi rebels, and after several ineffective urgings, he decided to get a truce decree from the besieged emperor, hoping to suspend the oppression of the southern Chu army, and at the same time to see how much prestige and power the emperor still had.

Da Dan Yu is not afraid of tens of thousands of Chu troops in the south, but he is more concerned about the army outside the Saiwai, the troops gathered in Mayi City have exceeded 100,000, if this army can be defeated, then the Xiongnu rear is worry-free, and can calmly face the entire Great Chu.

The controversy in Mayi City is more fierce than that in Linzi City, no one dares to say that they will not save the emperor, but how to save it is a matter of opinion: it is the easiest to enter the customs directly, but it is difficult to face the main force of the Huns, and the outcome is unpredictable; It is safer to stay in Mayi City and wait for the Huns to attack, but the situation waits for no one, and if Jincheng is broken during this period, no one can take responsibility.

The most important thing is that there is no general who can be the master in Mayi City, and Qin Chazhuo Ruhe has the opportunity to command the whole army, but before the holy decree comes, he leads an army into the pass to rescue the driver, but the army is defeated and captured.

Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan, led the most troops, and in the emperor's holy decree, it was specified that he commanded the army outside the Saiwai, but Zhang Yin's command could not move, his stuttering, his position was hard wounded, the southern army has always been arrogant, unwilling to obey his orders, and wanted to enter the pass and fight a decisive battle with the Huns, the source of the border army is complicated, as many as 20 roads, and they have their own ideas.

Zhang Yin could only ask the imperial court for help, hoping to send a general.

There were no generals of high enough rank in the court, so they could only send the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and a general to take a detour to Mayi City, but the two of them didn't think about what to do.

Yang Feng and Shen Mingzhi in the capital also didn't know how to mobilize the Chu army outside the Saiwai.

At this time, Deng Cui was riding a horse on the road, and when he was resting at night, he had to listen to the beauty in his arms - he couldn't understand a word, but he could always guess the other party's emotions immediately and give corresponding comfort, which made the beauty very happy.

There was also a Chu army a hundred miles away from Jincheng.

Feng Shili's 15,000 northern troops were stationed in a stockade, and he told his envoy that he would not take half a step back, but after holding out for several days, he still took advantage of the Xiongnu's encirclement and annihilation of a support army, and led his troops to retreat dozens of miles and stay in a stronger pass.

Reinforcements from the rear kept coming, but the number never exceeded 30,000, and Feng Shili still did not dare to attack.

Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua's Su Guards were the first to arrive as a support army, when they set out from the capital, the news of the Huns entering the customs had not yet come, it was the empress who suggested to Yang Feng that the situation in the capital was gradually stabilized, and the emperor should send some more credible people.

Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua had long been eager to attack, but there were only 2,000 soldiers under their command, the number was too small, Feng Shili didn't listen to the request of the two at all, and gave the same answer every time: "If you can't defeat the Huns in one fell swoop and attack rashly, you will only kill Your Majesty." ”

This is true, Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua can't wait, they coincide with Zhuo Ruhe's idea: although there is a trap ahead, someone has to take the initiative to jump into it to prove to the world that the emperor is still supported, so that the Huns will feel that the emperor is valuable and adhere to the strategy of besieging but not attacking.

These two people didn't know anything about the internal contradictions of the Huns, and they didn't know that the right king of the Huns urgently needed an excuse to attack Jincheng.

In this way, Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua persuaded more than 3,000 soldiers to follow them to fight, ready to die, but they never expected that they would be able to kill all the way to Jincheng.

The Huns expected that King Youxian would finally be able to attack the small Jincheng in the name of encircling and annihilating, as for the overall strategy of Da Danyu, he didn't understand and didn't care.
