Chapter 225 A king is a king, and a minister is a minister

"Kill!"

Yang Yuchun gave an awe-inspiring order, and led his cavalry to kill the Chu army in front of him, but about 200 infantry, with all his strength, killed them with one blow, and it was too late to turn around and deal with the ambush soldiers behind.

"Kill!"

Lin Yuan let out a loud shout and led his subordinates to meet the battle without hesitation.

The two armies bumped into each other, Yang Yuchun soon knew that he was still too light on the enemy, although the cavalry was not cost-effective to fight the infantry, but it did not mean that the infantry had any advantage, under the condition that the strength of the two sides was equal, the cavalry should be able to win easily, the two years were limited by the lack of horses, the cavalry of the Western Army continued to shrink, and the rest were the best of the elite veterans, and under the full rush, it should be like chopping melons and vegetables to defeat the enemy...... But Yang Yuchun never expected that although the two hundred infantry on the opposite side were obviously at a disadvantage, they were full of resilience, and they stubbornly resisted the all-out charge of the Western cavalry, and dragged the battle into a melee!

"Whose soldier is this? Could it be that the Chu army is coming? "Although Yang Yuchun is a dinosaur, his reaction is particularly slow, and at this time he finally realized that something was wrong, the enemy's combat effectiveness is so strong, which shows that there are no shortcomings in all aspects, and the experience of fighting with cavalry is very rich, in addition to the Chu army that has fought with the Eight Banners many times, which officer and army has such experience?

"Withdraw, withdraw, ah......!" Yang Yuchun shouted to his subordinates, anxious to get out of the battle, and suddenly a dense volley of guns fired, beating the war horse under his crotch into a sieve, capturing the thief first to capture the king, shooting people first to shoot the horse, Yang Yuchun fell off the war horse with a thud, and the group of Chu soldiers had already pounced fiercely.

……

Emperor Longwu boarded the warship, and the bloody and tragic battle was thrown to the shore behind him. I was surrounded by my own soldiers, and I finally felt a little safe. As a pragmatic and powerful emperor, Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu, was never willing to be the shopkeeper when the enemy soldiers were approaching the city. Rather, they are confident that they can hold on for at least three months, and most of the Western troops who come from afar will not survive after the New Year, and when they withdraw on their own, they will be able to tide over this crisis.

But I never expected that there was a mess in Guilin City, and the city was lost, and at this time, there were more and more fires burning in the city. As if it had fallen into a sea of fire, Emperor Longwu knew that Guilin no longer had the slightest chance of luck, and the defeat of this battle was decided, and countless manpower, material and financial resources had been invested in this for half a year, and finally turned into a bubble.

Now, it's time to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

The loss of Guilin was a heavy blow to the Longwu Imperial Court, not only losing the capital saved over the years. Moreover, the prestige of Emperor Longwu himself and the imperial court has been greatly reduced, real, virtual, and in all aspects. The huge losses are completely incalculable.

Wang Kefan, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, the gentry landlords and the Longwu New Deal, the young prince, the vicious Manchu ...... All of these great troubles, which had once caused Emperor Longwu an incomparable headache, were now unimportant. is not as threatening as Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, only Yongwang Zhu Cihuan is supported by the Western Army. It is the most direct and urgent threat to Emperor Zhu Yujian's throne.

"What to do. In order to eliminate the impact of Guilin's loss? Zhu Yujian fell into deep thought.

"I haven't eaten water and rice all day, so let's use a little bit!"

With a report, Pang Tianshou walked in with a food plate, there were two small dishes on it, a bowl of rice, a small bowl of soup, steaming white smoke, the emperor is now on the way to escape, of course, the food on the naval warship is not as good as the imperial dining room in the palace, and it is said that it is very good to take out such a meal in a hurry, but Emperor Longwu only glanced at it and put it on the table, and he didn't have the heart to take a bite at all.

"Are you all out of danger?"

Looking out of the porthole, the battle on the shore was still going on, and it was getting more and more intense, although Lin Yuan eliminated Yang Yuchun's two hundred cavalry, but the follow-up troops of the Western Army still smelled and touched it like a greedy cat, Emperor Longwu's convoy did not have time to fully board the ship, many ministers and guards were scattered, and only the prince, empress and some eunuchs followed him.

"The old slave just learned that Lord Yuanfu and the two elders, Wen and Chen, have been rescued by the back boat." Pang Tianshou cautiously looked at Emperor Longwu's face.

"Oh? That's good, that's good......" Emperor Longwu nodded, looking absent-minded, Yuanfu is the first assistant of the cabinet, He Wusu, Wen Anzhi and Chen Zizhuang are also important members of the cabinet, and they are the three most important ministers in the court, but Emperor Longwu seems to care about someone else: "Is Wen'an out of danger?" And Mr. Yoshian......"

Fu Guan Fu Ji'an, is Chu Xun's number one boss in the imperial court, at this juncture, the contact with Wang Kefan depends on his mediation, but Guilin City fell into the disaster of swords, if Fu Guan has any three long and two short, things will be passive......

Emperor Longwu's thoughts fluctuated, and some of his face came out, Pang Tianshou saw it in his eyes, quickly lowered his head, and replied: "Da Sima is still leading the troops to fight against the thieves and protect the lord, about not far from the shore, but Mr. Ji'an has no news for a day." ”

Pang Tianshou knew that Emperor Longwu was in a bad mood, and his voice became lower and lower when he spoke, and he fell to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

After a long time, the voice of Emperor Longwu came to his ears again, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"The last rescue soldier and horse should be the Chu army, right? Is it Zhou Guodong or Tan Xiao's soldiers? Why didn't the two of them come to see the driver? ”

"It's the Chu army, it should be Zhou Guodong who is here, but at the moment the war is in full swing, and General Zhou may be busy fighting......"

"Makes sense!" Emperor Longwu suddenly interrupted him: "Spread the decree, Zhou Guodong is loyal and compassionate, and he has made great contributions, and he will be crowned Marquis of Yangshuo!" ”

Yangshuo is a county under the rule of Guilin, and Emperor Longwu suddenly crowned Zhou Guodong as the Marquis of Yangshuo, in addition to buying people's hearts at a critical moment, which has a greater meaning.

Pang Tianshou has been secretly communicating with Wang Kefan, biased towards the side of the Chu army, I heard that Emperor Longwu gave Zhou Guodong an official and entered the knighthood, and he asked for the holy decree, and went to pass the decree, and after he went out, the door of the inner warehouse knocked gently, and Queen Zeng took the young prince by the hand and walked out.

"陛xià." Empress Zeng was blessed and said softly: "Hastily sealing Zhou Guodong, I am afraid that it will cause Liang Guogong to be unhappy, so it is better to order someone to chase Pang Tianshou back." ”

The Chu army has long been self-contained, although Zhou Guodong is a senior general of the Chu army, it is still significantly lower than Wang Sheng, Emperor Longwu did not ask Wang Kefan's opinion, and rashly promoted him to the same marquis as Wang Sheng, Wang Kefan not only will not think of the emperor's goodness, but will feel that Emperor Longwu is deliberately burying nails.

Emperor Longwu has now become a fugitive emperor again, and he must be careful in his every move, and if he accidentally offends a predator like Wang Kefan, it will bring unnecessary trouble later.

Emperor Longwu pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, and said word by word from between his teeth: "Although Guilin is lost, I am still the emperor, Wang Kefan is still a courtier, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the sky cannot be changed!"
