Zhao Yun took the lead and entered the enemy formation with a silver spear, and the Wuhuan cavalry behind him was also not afraid, and rushed over with a roar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Qiu Liju hurriedly commanded the army to counterattack, and Zhao Yunjun fought together, the killing was inextricable, Qiu Liju and Badun retreated to the rear, each with a detour of soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun's cavalry was surrounded in it, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, although Qiu Liju suffered successive defeats, but the army's combat power should not be underestimated.
Zhao Yun had few soldiers, seeing that the attack was difficult to work, he had to storm for a while, trying to break through, but Qiu Liju's soldiers and horses were too many, and many breakthroughs were declared failures, seeing that the number of cavalry under his command was rapidly decreasing, Zhao Yun bit his silver teeth and exerted his spearmanship to the extreme, and the enemy cavalry in front of him was difficult to resist, so he had to let Zhao Yun kill it, and those Wuhuan cavalry were not so lucky, only hundreds of people rushed out, and those cavalry who failed to break through were all hacked to death by Qiu Liju's department, and no one survived.
Seeing Zhao Yunjun's trouble, Upa led his army out to rescue, but was also entangled by Qiu Liju's army. The other clans who stayed in the Wangting tribe saw that the alliance was not in a good position, so they all picked up the guys and rushed out to help, this time, the number of people was too much, although Qiu Liju was already a one-sided slaughter, but they didn't dare to fight, and the ghost knew if Jiang Sheng would be killed at this time.
Seeing that he had the initiative on the battlefield, Qiu Liju sounded the trumpet and withdrew, and after the victory, quickly withdrew.
The news of the attack on the Wangting tribe also reached Nanlou, and Nanlou's entire army of 30,000 rushed to help, but was intercepted by Chu Yanjun on the way. Jiang Sheng ordered Chu Yan to entangle the Nanlou army, and then led the Xuanjia cavalry straight to the Nanlou tribal settlement.
There are still more than 10,000 cavalry in the remaining Nanlou army, under the leadership of the commander, the Xuanjia cavalry used the swords that had been rolled up to fight again, and the more than 10,000 cavalry were defeated, they retreated into the camp in a hurry, and then shot Jiang Shengjun with crossbow arrows. Jiang Sheng had no choice but to retreat beyond the range of his bow and arrows.
Nanlou was entangled by Chu Yanjun, and after a fight, he got the news that Jiang Sheng was attacking the headquarters, and hurriedly returned to defense.
After Jiang Sheng found out the news of the difficult building's defense, he immediately led the army away and went straight to the royal tribe.
At the end of the war, it was already March, Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and seeing that time was running out, he summoned He Jin, Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and other cronies to come in to meet him.
"In the past few days, the ministers have been very negligent, talking about the establishment of the prince, it seems that my days are numbered."
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor's dragon body is not safe, and it will be healed in a few days, don't think nonsense!" ”
Emperor Ling coughed lightly twice and said, "Alas, my body and bones are clear to me, but it's just a matter of establishing a prince, and it's really difficult to choose." I wonder what you have to do? ”
He Jin said: "The emperor has always been the eldest and not the young, and the prince is the eldest son, according to the ancestral system, he should be the prince!" ”
Jian Shuo said: "The general's words are bad, there is a way to live in a virtuous person, although the prince is the eldest son, but he is frivolous and has no prestige, which is embarrassing and useful." Although Prince Xie's young age, he has a moderate demeanor and has the legacy of his ancestors, so he is the best candidate for the crown prince. ”
"Jian Shuo, there is an ancestral system in Lichu, do you want to trap the emperor in unfilial piety?"
"General, Captain Jian is also for the sake of the Han Dynasty, this is a great filial piety, the prince is only shallow in learning, it is really difficult to take charge of the Han Dynasty, don't mislead the country." Zhang said.
"What do you mean by Zhang? The prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and you slander him for being a shallow learner, aren't you criticizing the emperor? ”
Zhang Rang said: "He Jin, don't spew blood." ”
The two quarreled again, and Jian Shuo persuaded: "Don't quarrel between the two, the emperor is sick, and he can't stand the noise!" ”
The two stopped and stared at each other angrily.
Emperor Ling was silent for a long time, and said: "The matter of establishing a prince is very important, I will think about it again, you should step back first." ”
Everyone had to retreat, and when they left, the little yellow door gave Jian Shuo a look, Jian Shuo understood, and deliberately walked in the end, and after Zhang Rang and He Jin and others left, they hurriedly returned to the sleeping palace of Emperor Ling.
"The emperor kept the old slave, but it was for the sake of establishing a prince?"
"Alas, Bian'er has no real talent and learning, and he is embarrassed to be of great use every day, if the country is handed over to him, I am worried that he will not be able to keep it; But Xie'er is young and can't control the government; I'm so embarrassed. ”
"Your Majesty, although the prince is young, he is quick in thinking and has a prestigious, if the old ministers of the court are loyal and auxiliary to the government, they can guard the emperor's country."
"What you said also makes sense, Jian Shuo, there will be no difficulty in debating the prince's care, but Xie'er has no one to support him, so I will entrust him to you. I'll think about it again, and you can go down first. ”
Jian Shuo has served by the side of Emperor Ling for many years, although Emperor Ling did not explicitly say that Liu Xie would succeed him, but Jian Shuo has already heard what Emperor Ling meant. Jian Shuo controlled the new army, he had military power, and Emperor Ling entrusted Liu Xie to him, and he also had the intention of letting him protect him.
Now that Empress He is in charge of the harem, He Jin is a general and has part of the military power, and it is not convenient for Emperor Ling to announce Liu Xie as the prince, he wants Jian Shuo to be Liu Xie's supporters, and he will announce it after he has enough strength to resist He Jin.
Jian Shuo is a good person, so he naturally knows what to do, Bao Hong is dead in the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chun Yuqiong support He Jin; Although He Jin openly supported Jiang Sheng in the matter of marriage, Jiang Sheng's attitude was unclear and he was in his own right; Xia Mu is a faction of the Qingliu Party; Feng Fang supported Jian Shuo.
He Jin's three supporters also have their own forces, and if He Jin is eliminated, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will become opponents; Relying on his old friendship with Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng's fiancée, Princess Wannian, has a good relationship with Liu Xie, even if Jiang Sheng does not support Liu Xie, at least he can remain neutral; And although Xia Mu did not deal with the eunuchs, he was an upright person and recognized Liu Xie.
Jian Shuo pondered how to strengthen his strength, so that He Jin did not dare to mess around, and then Emperor Ling could calmly announce that Liu Xie was the prince, and he Jian Shuo was from the dragon's work, and the glory of the court was no problem.
He Jin was not idle, he ordered Yuan Shao and Chun to serve in Qiongtun to Hongnong in case of emergency, while Cao Cao led the guards of the southern army to control the security of the capital in case of accidents, and sent a letter to Jiang Sheng to test Jiang Sheng's position.
He Jin's secret envoy came to Youzhou, but he did not find Jiang Sheng, so he went to visit Youzhou Mu Liu Yu in the name of Qincha.
Liu Yu knew the news that Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and when he heard that Emperor Ling sent an edict to see Jiang Sheng, he thought that Emperor Ling wanted to support Gu, because everyone knew that Emperor Ling trusted Jiang Sheng very much.
Liu Yu said: "Captain Jiang has been in the grassland for several months, pacifying the civil strife in Wuhuan, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." I was about to send an envoy to assist Captain Jiang in dealing with the Wuhuan matter, if the envoy is in a hurry, he might as well go with my envoy. (To be continued.) )
