Chapter 191: The King of the Mourning Capital

In this way, according to Jing Yuncong's prior arrangement, when Na Simo led the remnants of the defeated army who escaped from Chang'an City, struggled to break through the halfway interception of the soldiers and horses led by Jing Yuncong, and captured the Fenning Fortress as if he was desperate, he counted the remaining men and horses under his command, and only brought out nearly half of the 30,000 Tubo Scorpion Army that attacked Chang'an ten days ago, plus nearly 30,000 soldiers who were killed and wounded in the battle of Hezhou before, this time to the north and east, although he captured more than a dozen important towns in Longyou, Hexi and Jingyuan Sandao of the Middle Earth Imperial Court, But the 100,000 Scorpion Army, which he relied on, added up to nearly half of the troops, and in addition, he also lost two generals, Danba and Getan, in Chang'an. The more he thought about www.biquge.info it, the more angry he became, so that he became seriously ill and lay in bed for more than a month before he could recover his breath.

Lai Xing'er took Jiang Zhongshi to the army and saw Jing Yuncong, Jiang Zhongshi saw that Jing Yuncong was just a middle-aged scribe, and he didn't look as heroic and majestic as he imagined, and he couldn't help but be disappointed. Jing Yuncong obviously sensed Jiang Zhongshi's thoughts, but because he was eager to lead the army into the city to clear the remnants of the enemy, he didn't pay much attention to it, and only told Lai Xing'er to take him to the Guozijian as soon as possible to protect the old sacrificial wine, and he ordered the whole army to speed up the march to Chang'an and recover the imperial capital from the Tubo people in one fell swoop.

Ten days ago, the emperor abandoned the city and ran eastward, and on the way, it was relied on Cheng En's personal leadership of the Shenhe Army to enter the military camp in Shaanzhou to settle down, who would have thought, only a short period of ten days, and the news that Jing Yuncong led the army to recover Chang'an. After the emperor received this news, he even regretted his intestines in private.

This almost dramatic scene made him bear the notoriety of escaping from the battle in the eyes of the people of the world if he was not careful, just after he had just won the two victories of Jinggong and counterinsurgency. That's not all, the series of bad news that has almost followed in the past ten days has made him feel anxious, and he always wants to kill the palace people and eunuchs who serve around him to vent his anger.

After the emperor fled to Shaanzhou with Yu Chengen, the first bad news he received was the bad news about Jing Xuan's sacrifice for the country, brought by Ying'er, who arrived in Shaanzhou one night late. Speaking seriously from the bottom of his heart, the emperor expected Jing Xuan's death. When Jing Xuan went to Yanying Hall to find him that day and asked him to stay and stick to Chang'an, he thought of the current result. However, at that time, he only imagined that the Jing father and daughter could create a miracle for him and defend Chang'an, but he didn't expect what his concubine Hui should do when the city was broken. When Wanrong took Sakura with a panicked face to tell him the news of Jing Xuan's death in battle, the emperor couldn't figure out whether he was more disappointed that Jing's father and daughter failed to hold Chang'an, or more sad about the loss of Jing Xuan. In any case, every time he thought that Jing Xuan was no longer alive these days, the emperor would feel empty in his heart. Out of fear that Xue Qing, who was not yet three years old, would not be able to bear the pain of losing her mother, the emperor took special care of her and did not tell her the news for the time being. Alas, there is another motherless child in the palace. The emperor felt sorry for Xue Qing, and also sighed deeply for his wife and concubine's repeated misfortunes.

Another piece of bad news that made the emperor sleepy was that Li Chenghong was made the new emperor by the Tibetans, trying to replace him with him. This can be said to poke directly at the emperor's sore spot and make him unbearable. The name Li Chenghong, if it wasn't for being reminded, the emperor couldn't even remember who he was and what he looked like, but suddenly he popped up, and with the help of the Tubo people, he openly sat in the position that should have belonged to him in the Daming Palace. Although he knew that Li Chenghong was just a puppet manipulated at will in the hands of the Tubo people, the ancients said: There are no two days. How can there be two emperors in this country? The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered Li Qi, the king of Mu, to rush to Shaanzhou immediately to see him. He wanted to concentrate the world's troops and horses, launch a counterattack on Chang'an, capture Li Chenghongsheng alive as soon as possible, and hand him over to the Zongren Mansion for severe punishment.

Then there is the rebellion of Luguangting, who wants to act as the internal response of the Tubo people, and accept the Tubo people into Chang'an. Lu Guangting had died in no apparent condition, and the matter had lost its practical impact on the emperor. However, thinking carefully about why Lu Guangting would defect to the enemy shortly after being promoted to the deputy eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain, the emperor also felt a little lucky: Lu Guangting was probably dissatisfied with being left by himself to defend the city, so he had a rebellious thought, and in his mind, it was very likely that he was also affected by Li Jinzhong's mysterious killing, and mistakenly thought that although the emperor clearly valued him, he was still wary of him because he was Li Jinzhong's confidant, so he was willing to betray the country and join the enemy, and did not want to be a martyr in Chang'an City. Such a person, fortunately, exposed his sinister heart early, otherwise if he stayed in the palace, sooner or later he would have a disaster.

Although Lu Guangting was innocent of death, Shang Jing, who was out of harmony with him, made the emperor hate him so much. According to Ying'er's secret recital to him in private, she was ordered by Wanrong to deliver a letter to Wanrong's mother's house, and was almost blocked in the city by the Tubo soldiers who attacked Chang'an. Thanks to meeting a personal soldier under Wang Huaizhen, he was able to escape from the city with the support of this personal soldier. According to Wang Huaizhen's personal soldier, as early as the beginning of the Tibetan people crossing the border between the two countries and launching an attack on the western frontier, Xiang Zhifei, Wang Huaizhen and others sent back many urgent military reports to Chang'an one after another, asking the emperor to immediately increase the troops in the western frontier to resist the attack of the Tubos. The emperor didn't wait for Ying'er to finish speaking, so angry that he slapped Wang Bao'er who was standing on the side three times, and yelled that Wang Bao'er immediately led someone to arrest the military department Shangshu who drove to Shaanzhou and ask for the guilt.

Seeing this, Ying'er secretly glanced at Wang Bao'er, Wang Bao'er understood, covered his face with his hand and reminded the emperor: "Master, please calm your anger, the slave wants the military department to receive an emergency military report from the frontier, and in most cases, it is just a hand, and they have no reason to hide the military situation in the western Xinjiang......"

When the emperor's side heard Wang Bao'er say this, she also seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to the emperor: "The maid listened to Wang Huaizhen's personal soldier and seemed to imply that someone in the palace concealed the military situation from the emperor, but unfortunately he was hit by an arrow from the Tubo people when escorting the maid out of the city, and he couldn't escape. ”

Everything that Sakura played to the emperor today was discussed by her and Wanrong in advance, and the spearhead was directed at Shang Jing. Wang Bao'er was very much before, and even received a few slaps from the emperor, and was yelled at by the emperor to ask him to take someone to arrest the military department, when he turned around, he saw the deep meaning of the eyes that Sakura threw at him, and suddenly realized that most of what Sakura played to the emperor today was intentional. As soon as he thought that he still had a handle in the hands of Wanrong and Ying'er, and he didn't care about the father-son friendship with Shang Jing for many years, he immediately opened his mouth to remind the emperor that it was likely that someone else was hiding the military situation, so as to show Ying'er that he was on her and Wanrong's side.
