Chapter 60: The Emperor's Attitude in the Imperial Capital
Ten miles south of Wangcheng, here is the military camp of Wang Xu's army, when the scout reported that after his army left, the ambush soldiers in the valley also withdrew, and after verification, the ambush soldiers were only two or three thousand, and he was dumbfounded.
"Who's that leading general? The plan is good, play Lao Tzu like a monkey," Wang Xu said angrily.
Huang Quan said: "Lord, his name is Li Zhi, he is the second fierce general under the prince, with strong martial arts and resourcefulness. ”
Jia Hui saluted respectfully to Wang Xu and analyzed: "Lord, Li Zhi has withdrawn from the valley, which shows that the royal city has been captured by the prince; In this way, our army is in danger, and his subordinates suggest that he immediately retreat to Languan, because with the dangers everywhere in Languan, and we have heavy troops in hand, we can be safe for the time being." "No, no," Huang Quan objected: "My lord, there are more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the 100,000 army of the prince, and they are all high-grade war horses from all over the world, traveling thousands of miles a day, as fast as lightning; If our army retreats at this time, they will surely pursue and kill them."
Twenty thousand? Such a cow must know that even ordinary war horses are extremely difficult to find, and money can't buy them, let alone high-quality horses; Don't look at Wang Xu at this time with an army of 30,000, but there is no real cavalry, the more than 100 war horses are still given by the county order of Huijing County, but a hundred or so horses are not enough to form a cavalry, so they can only be used by scouts.
"Then what do we do now, you say?"
Nima, you can't retreat, and you can't take the royal city, so you can't wait for death? Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, he has just lived a little like a human in this Hongtian Continent, and besides, there is still a little girl waiting for me in Languan.
"Lord, my subordinates feel that we can't just look at our own situation, in addition to our army to rescue the royal city, there is another army is rushing to the royal city, if we can get in touch with this army and jointly take the royal city, as long as the prince is not dead, we will take the royal city before the prince succeeds to the throne, then there is still a glimmer of hope."
Wang Xu raised his eyes, but he didn't expect that it was Guan Qing who was talking, since Guan Qing's surrender, he has always been silent; After thinking about what Guan Qing said, Wang Xu felt that it made sense, and the other people in the big tent also nodded again and again. "Okay, that's right" glanced at Guan Qing appreciatively, glanced at everyone, Wang Xu asked: "The 50,000 border troops are estimated to be about to arrive in Wangcheng, who wants to go on this trip?" ”
As soon as Wang Xu's words fell, everyone stared at Jia Hui with green eyebrows and green eyes as if they had discussed it in advance; Because Jia Hui is a literati, this kind of thing is much more suitable for literati than military generals.
Being held up by everyone like this, Jia Hui knew that he couldn't escape, and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to take this trip."
"Report" A soldier quickly walked into the big tent. "My lord, the royal city has fallen." Although the fall of Wangcheng was expected by everyone, when the soldiers really said the news, everyone was still a little surprised, the fall of Wangcheng meant that the succession of the prince was only in the morning, and everyone's good days were over.
Wang Xu waved his hand, and the soldier withdrew from the big tent.
"Mr. Jia, you have to be more careful in this trip, the 50,000 border troops are the soldiers of Guxi County, and now the prince is already the prince of Guxi County, if the 50,000 border troops surrender to the prince, then you will be in danger."
"Don't worry, my subordinates are awake" Jia Hui nodded, turned around and walked out of the big tent.
After Jia Hui left, Huang Quan smiled and said: "Lord, you don't have to worry, the commander of the 50,000 border army is named Lu Yang, who was originally from the Yulin Army, and was promoted to general later, it can be said that the prince is as kind to him as a mountain, even if the prince is killed, he will not take refuge in the world."
Now you can rest assured, at least with Lu Yang's 50,000 border troops as allies, the pressure on yourself will not be too great; The prince of the world has to guard against the border army while dealing with himself, he is now only 80,000 people, and he has to keep soldiers and horses to guard the royal city, and there are only more than 50,000 soldiers who can really be sent out to participate in the war.
"My lord, my subordinates have a suggestion," Sun Yu said.
Wang Xu nodded, and Sun Yu continued: "The valley outside the royal city must not fall into the hands of the prince again, and his subordinates suggest that troops be sent to occupy it immediately; If we were to attack the royal city, we could prevent the prince from being there again; If we are to withdraw to Languan, we can also set up an ambush there to prevent them from sending troops to chase and kill." "Well, that valley is indeed a battleground for both sides now, ladies and gentlemen, who of you would like to lead an army there?"
Guan Qing came out of the queue and said loudly: "Lord, Guan Qing is willing to go."
Guan Qing? Wang Xu secretly thought to himself, "I haven't fought once since the surrender of Tianyun Village, and I don't know what my ability is, so I can try it with this war; Jia Hui often said that Guan Qing's surrender was forced by the situation, this time in the big battle with the prince, he was at an absolute disadvantage, if Guan Qing was sincere in surrendering, he would not surrender to the prince, just to test'. Wang Xu paid attention and ordered: "Then you can take the people of the headquarters to go, remember, guard the valley, and don't let anyone go."
"No"
Imperial City
When the emperor, who was five hundred miles away, learned that King Guxi had been killed by his own son, he was furious and roared loudly above the Golden Palace: "How can it be that as a son of man, he killed his father, and without my holy decree, he arrogantly usurped his position, and he still regarded me as the emperor?" If such a disloyal and unfilial person does not kill him, it will be difficult to dispel this evil breath in his heart."
"The decree is that the king of Guxi has worked hard and made great achievements, and has guarded Guxi for the empire for many years, and now he is posthumously named Emperor Guxi Wen for future generations to admire; His son Zhou Yi rebelled, killed his father and seized the throne, raised troops to rebel, and avoided the title of his deceased son, and sent him back to the imperial capital for trial." "Chen Yang Mingyue has something to play," an old man in court clothes knelt down and said below the Golden Palace.
"Prime Minister, if you are interceding for that beast, then you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind."
Yang Mingyue saluted and said, "Your Majesty, even though Zhou Yi is guilty, he can't be killed; The throne of each county has always been hereditary, and now that King Guxi is deceased, and Zhou Yi is the only son of King Guxi, if he is killed, who will govern this Guxi County? ”
Hereditary replacement, that is, the father is the prince, the children are still the prince, and the generations are the princes, unless they are convicted and cut off, otherwise they will be hereditary! Just like the iron hat king of the Qing Dynasty is hereditary.
