Emperor Tianyou's abdication and Zen edict quickly reacted.

Relatively close to the imperial capital, the magistrates and some troops soon became vassals, indicating that they belonged to the new dynasty.

The remaining 6,000 men of Chu Yuanji, who had fought a bloody battle with the Sanban army in Zhili, did not surrender after disengaging from the army of the three feudal domains, but moved to the northwest.

In addition to Chu Yuanjibu, now in the vicinity of Zhili and the imperial capital, there are only 7,000 people led by Princess Chang'an, who are still fighting with Han Qi at Juyong Pass.

Princess Chang'an has received her brother's edict of abdication, and the one who came to pass the edict was Eunuch Zhou.

After locking himself in the tent of the Chinese army for more than an hour, Chang'an convened a meeting.

Those who participated in the deliberations were Zuo Linliang, Luo Xingshan, Liu Huaide, Chang'an's subordinates General Xu Shen, General Qu Shen, Qiu Liang and Wei Ruoshui.

Qiu Liang and Wei Ruoshui only arrived here today.

After they got the news of Zhao Yingqi's abdication yesterday, they left the imperial capital and came to Chang'an.

The news of Zhao Yingqi's abdication was already known to everyone present, and Chang'an still showed the edict to everyone.

"Dade is no longer here, and I'm not a princess now. There is no point in continuing to fight now. I thank you for always following me, before, we fought for the great virtue, now for whom? There is no need for the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

"Now, I'll leave the decision up to you. You can choose to submit or you can choose to go home. As for myself, even if there is only one person left, I will never be obedient. I will fight until the last moment. Now, discuss it for yourselves, and tell me your decision. ”

After Chang'an finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, so he went out first.

"What are we going to do?"

Liu Huaide asked first.

"Alas, I didn't expect it to be this ending. Is this the end of Dade? ”

Xu Shenjiang couldn't help but sigh.

"The occupation of the imperial capital by the three feudatories was expected by everyone. It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor would easily become a prisoner and abdicate happily. ”

Qiu Liang has already been appointed to the commander of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses, and he is a little surprised by this ending.

Because he didn't want to belong to the new dynasty, he fled with his family.

"No matter what, I swear to follow His Royal Highness Chang'an, General Xu, what about you?"

"General Qu, why do you look down on me? Am I the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't worry, I will follow Your Highness and fight to the last soldier. ”

"General Xu, General Qu, Luo admires your bravery. However, I do not agree with your approach. ”

"General Luo, do you want to belong to it, His Royal Highness has already said it, then please do it."

General Xu's temper came up again.

"Is Luo a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and recognizes a thief as his father? I mean, we have to think about His Highness. Now that Her Highness is bent on death, we can't just watch her alone. ”

"You think we're willing? It's not the same anymore. From now on, we will not have any reinforcements, nor will we get any food or grass. Once the food and grass are exhausted, they can only sit and wait. ”

"Besides, even if we retreat, where can we go? Even if there is no encirclement, Han Qi will also chase after him. For now, the only way to do this is to die on the battlefield. ”

"Guys, are you being a little too pessimistic?"

Wei Ruoshui said unhurriedly.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"I can't talk about a clever plan, but maybe it's a way to live."

"Wei Ruoshui, what can you do?"

"Why don't you want to think about it and retreat to the North Sea?"

"Withdraw to the North Sea? Hahaha, Wei Ruoshui, don't be kidding. Now that the northeast has been occupied by Han Tiankui, the imperial capital to the Shanhaiguan area, and most of them are imperial troops, and they will soon be annexed. How do we get there? This trip to Beihai is full of thousands of rivers and mountains, so many soldiers, plus their families, there are more than 10,000 people, what to eat and drink along the way? ”

What Liu Huaide said does make sense.

"Who said we were going to Shanhaiguan?"

"If you don't go there, where will you go?"

"Now on the way from here to Tianjin, there is no army of the three feudatories. It is the army of some imperial courts, first, they may not really intercept us, and second, if they do, with our strength, it is enough to break through. When we get to Tianjin Wei, we can resupply there. Board the ship from Tianjin Wei. ”

"As long as we get on the boat, we can avoid Han Tiankui and go all the way to Beihai by water. If there is a shortage of supplies on the road, they will go ashore temporarily, buy if they have money, borrow if they don't, and they will not starve to death. When you get to the North Sea, it's safe. ”

"What if Han Tiandou chases him to Beihai in the future?"

"Han Tiandou chased to Beihai? Hehe, it's a joke, unless he doesn't want to live anymore. Even his 400,000 troops have gone, and there is no return. ”

"How many centaurs do you have in the North Sea?"

"Hehe, saying it scares you to death, a full 20,000."

"Hahaha, 20,000, that's a lot. 20,000 people dare to speak so loudly. It's Jia Min who has some skills, how can 20,000 horses fight with an army of 400,000? ”

"Alas, forget it, you don't believe it. When you see how we fight in the future, you will understand. ”

"Wei Ruoshui, I've fought all my life, and I don't need you to teach me."

General Xu Shen was really angry this time.

"Hmph, is this still a war for you? It's just a playhouse. ”

"Two, don't be impatient, don't be impatient. I think that Wei Ruoshui is talking about a way to live. It's just that it's not easy to get rid of Han Qi along the way. ”

Luo Xingshan came out to mediate in a timely manner.

"If Han Qi wants to follow, just ask him to follow, we invite him to come, he can't follow if he wants to."

"Wei Ruoshui, what do you mean?"

"I'm going to get Han Qi and ask him to be a hostage for us. When Tianjin Wei got on the boat, he was released back. ”

"Han Qi is Han Tiandou's only son-in-law, if he is a hostage, it is naturally the best. However, if you want to catch him, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”

"I'll leave this matter to us, just to grieve His Royal Highness Chang'an. We have to do that....... ”

Wei Ruoshui came up with a solution.

"Will this work? Go deep into the tiger's den, will you be able to come back then? There was a slight difference, but he sent His Highness to the door. It's too risky, I don't agree. ”

"I agree, that's it."

I don't know when, Chang'an was already standing at the door, and she heard what Wei Ruoshui said.

"Since Your Highness agrees, it will save trouble. I had planned to knock His Highness unconscious. ”

Wei Ruoshui said with a grin.

"Wei Ruoshui, when are we going?"

"How about going now?"

"How many people are you taking with you?"

"There are too many people, Han Qi may not be fooled, just take more than 30 of my people to go."

"Wei Ruoshui, are you kidding?"

"General Xu, you don't need to say it, I believe him. Let's go. ”

The current Han Qi can be said to be full of ambition.

The rebellion went smoothly and beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yingqi abdicated so easily.

According to the agreement of the Han, Song, and Li families, the emperor took turns to do it, and each family did it for twenty years.

However, Han Qi didn't think so.

Twenty years is long enough to lay out a lot of things. As long as you are careful and have enough time, you can weaken the Song and Li families. At that time, it is entirely possible for his own family to become emperor again.

As long as the emperor is from the Han family, as the only son-in-law and the eldest son, the future crown prince, and even the emperor, is his own.

In the midst of this, what you have to do is to accumulate enough qualifications and fame. The best and fastest way to get these is to obtain military merits.

Now is the best time to gain military merit.

It's just that I wasn't very lucky this time and met Princess Chang'an's team.

This is a team that has been trained by the instructors of the Jia Min Mansion Corps, and its combat power is many times stronger than the ordinary imperial army.

In addition, he occupied the natural danger of Juyongguan, so he blocked his progress in the case of a small number of people.

However, Han Qi is not in a hurry now, because time is on his side.

As long as it drags on for a while, after the war on Zhili's side is over, there will be more troops to support him. When the time comes, the bread will be copied from behind, and Princess Chang'an will be unable to escape.

So, now Han Qi feels that he is lucky again.

Princess Chang'an is a great beauty, if she can be included in the harem, wouldn't it be a beautiful talk?

General Wu came in, this is the first fierce general under Han Qi, and he is very important to Han Qi.

"Shizi, there is a person named Wei Ruoshui, who said that he captured Chang'an and came to surrender as a prisoner?"

"Caught Chang'an? Unlikely, right? Could it be a scam? ”

"Whether it was a fraudulent surrender or not, it is not yet known, but they are holding that person, but it is indeed Chang'an."

"There's a name in it. There are so many people under Chang'an, how can they be so easy to catch? Who is this Wei Ruoshui? Could it be Wei Ruolan's own family? ”

"Judging from the name, it should be so, Wei Ruolan is Jia Min's person, is this Wei Ruoshui also Jia Min's person?"

"Chang'an is from Jia Min's disciples, and her skills are all learned from Jia Min. Chang'an has a life-saving grace for the Jia family, if it is Jia Min's person, it will definitely not be unfavorable to Chang'an. ”

"In this case, it is a deception."

"It must be a fraud."

"They're going to see me in person?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, then they're coming for me."

"It's beautiful, such a carving insect skill, and dare to play tricks in front of us. I'm going to have them shot to death. ”

"Wait, how many of them came?"

"Plus Chang'an, a total of thirty-two people."

"Hehe, this Chang'an, it's a little bold, and more than thirty people dare to go deep into the tiger's den. It's a pity that you met me Han Qi. This time, you sent it yourself. ”

"The prince means ......."

"What weapons did they bring?"

"Guns and bows and arrows, and knives and daggers."

"Gather three hundred elite soldiers, bring firearms and bows and arrows, go with me, leave Chang'an, and kill the rest."

"The prince should be careful."

"Such an opportunity is really rare, otherwise, if you want to capture Chang'an, you will have to put a lot of effort into it, as long as Chang'an is captured, this battle can be over. Don't worry, are we still afraid of him 300 of us? ”

"Obedience."
