Chapter 288: A small soldier at the city gate

Tianjing (Nanjing) Dongwangfu.

In the palatial hall, the white jade is the stone steps, the gold is the dragon chair, etc., the nan wood is the desk, the lamp is bright, and it exudes a nouveau riche atmosphere. Not only that, the main hall is about four zhang long and about three zhang wide, which can be described as gorgeous and vast, this is Yang Xiuqing's East Palace.

After Yang Xiuqing returned to Nanjing, he immediately took over the military power and took charge of the affairs of the court.

At the same time, Yang Xiuqing also began to organize soldiers to resist the attack from the Qing army. Due to the retreat of the army led by Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou, Yang Xiuqing began to deal with the Jiangnan camp with all his might.

Just as Yang Xiuqing achieved a series of victories, bad news came frequently.

The army led by Qin Rigang was all wiped out, and Qin Rigang was also so embarrassed that he returned to the Yanwang Mansion like a beggar. After half a month, I didn't see Qin Rigang lost weight, his hair was fluffy and messy, his eyes were sunken, his skin was dark, and his face was full of tiredness, Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Qin Rigang was miserable.

When Yang Xiuqing sighed, he secretly said in his heart that Qin Rigang was incompetent and so embarrassed.

Soon after, Lee so-sung returned.

Li Xiucheng fled back alone again, and Yang Xiuqing couldn't sit still, so he directly ordered the soldiers to take Li Xiuchen to the main hall.

Yang Xiuqing's expression was solemn and indifferent, and his face was even more hateful. Yang Xiuqing sat in the hall and didn't speak, so Li Xiucheng knelt in the hall and didn't dare to move. At this time, Yang Xiuqing felt depressed in her heart. He always thought that Li Xiucheng was a manufacturable material, but he got a series of defeats.

Li Xiucheng led 3,000 soldiers to fight Li Zhen for the first time, and the whole army was wiped out and fled back; Now leading 10,000 elites to meet Li Zhen, the whole army was wiped out, and he fled back again. It is true that Pan Qingyang, the general under Qin Rigang, also lost 40,000 elites, but Yang Xiuqing has his own set of standards.

Li Xiucheng's consecutive defeats have made Yang Xiuqing difficult to accept.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and Li Xiucheng's forehead was already full of sweat.

At this moment, Li Xiucheng's mood was extremely heavy.

It took ten minutes before Yang Xiuqing said in a deep voice: "Qin Rigang lost to Li Zhen's soldiers. You also lost to Li Zhen, and you also lost your troops. This king heard that Qin Rigang regarded Li Zhen's Taoist priest as a cronie, so that the army failed. This person is hopelessly stupid, but are you stupid too? This king wants to know how to lose 10,000 elites? Why did you lose to Li Zhen again? ”

Li Xiucheng did not dare to conceal it, and reported clearly that the Qing army was being burned.

After hearing this, Yang Xiuqing leaned back against the dragon chair and shook his head repeatedly.

"You were defeated by Li Zhen once and you were defeated in the water. This time he suffered a defeat, but he was defeated by fire. The king wants to know where you will lose if you lead the army again. ”

"The last general ...... the prince"

As soon as he said it, Yang Xiuqing scolded: "Li Xiucheng arrested you, why did he release you again?" ”

Li Xiucheng didn't dare to conceal the truthful report: "The prince of Hui Yu was defeated at the end of the year, and when he returned to Changshu County, he was imprisoned by Qin Rigang. After Li Zhen's army entered the city, he fished the last general out of prison, gave the last general three days, and if he did not surrender, he would kill the last general. ”

"The last general thinks that the prince is as kind to the last general, and he plans to rather die than surrender."

Soon after, Li Zhen said that he was going to attack Tianjing, and the last general thought of pretending to surrender Li Zhen as soon as his heart moved, and then took the opportunity to return to Tianjing to Li Zhen as an internal response, wanting to attract Li Zhen to come, and then ambush Li Zhen. Li Zhenxin thought it was true and agreed. It's just that he didn't expect Li Zhen to suddenly get an order from the Dog Emperor and leave the sea. ”

Li Xiucheng gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Li Zhen left the sea, which is our opportunity to attack the sea. It is better to gather a large army to attack the place where the sea has leveled Li Zhen. ”

"Idiot!"

Yang Xiuqing saw that Li Xiucheng was still thinking about revenge, so he grabbed the inkstone on the desk and smashed it at Li Xiucheng.

"Smack!"

The inkstone smashed into Li Xiucheng's head, breaking the skin and gurgling blood.

Yang Xiuqing was still angry and continued to scold: "The Celestial Empire has lost consecutive battles, and its morale has been damaged, and it can no longer encounter defeat. The Jiangbei camp disappeared, and there is still the Jiangnan camp. Solve the Xiang Rong of the Jiangnan camp first, this is the right thing. ”

"Besides, do you know what the sea is?"

"There are countless foreigners in the sea, and once you attack the sea, you can afford to bear the responsibility for the casualties of foreigners? If Li Zhen is provoked, he once again swings his army north to attack Tianjing, can you deal with it? Think carefully about how to ensure the development of the Celestial Empire and the stability of the Celestial Empire, instead of thinking about revenge. ”

At this time, Yang Xiuqing's sharp spirit was lost and he lost his heart to fight.

It is enough to stabilize the situation.

Don't even fight if you can't win, it's enough to bully those who can.

"Tick! Tick! ”

Drops of blood flowed to the ground, staining the floor of the hall red. Li Xiucheng didn't dare to move, so he could only kneel honestly. He opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back, not daring to speak. Yang Xiuqing stared at Li Xiucheng, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he felt, and shouted: "You give this king to go to the east gate to be a soldier guarding the door, and reflect on it." Get out of here, and don't let the king see you. ”

Li Xiucheng knew that Yang Xiuqing was protecting him, and his heart was even more moved.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Li Xiucheng kowtowed three times, bowed his head and retreated.

When Li Xiucheng walked out of the hall, he saw someone outside the hall walking in again. The people who came were Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and when they saw Li Xiucheng's embarrassed appearance, the corners of their mouths hooked up with a sneer.

Entering the main hall, Qin Rigang saluted and said: "Brother Dongwang, the Heavenly King said that Li Xiucheng's army was defeated and his soldiers were broken, and he must be punished. Brother Beiwang and I came to meet Brother Dongwang to discuss punishment. ”

Yang Xiuqing stood up, and her tall and burly body was even more domineering.

He stood in the front of the main hall and said condescendingly: "King Yan was deceived by Li Zhen, which led to the defeat of the army, and Pan Qingyang also lost 40,000 elites, why was he not punished?" Does King Yan want to punish himself? Or does King Yan still want to pull out the dead Pan Qingyang, crush his bones and scatter ashes? ”

Yang Xiuqing's tone was domineering, almost roaring: "Brother Yan Wang, you have to do things with yourself, you have not been punished yourself, why do you have to punish others?" ”

A loud voice echoed back and forth in the hall.

Li Xiucheng heard Yang Xiuqing's words outside the main hall, his eyes were hot, and hot tears flowed down, and he left quickly.

Qin Rigang was so ashamed that his face was red, but Wei Changhui was unwilling to continue: "Brother Dongwang, this is an order issued by the Heavenly King. Moreover, King Yan is the first king of the court, and Pan Qingyang has also died, so it is difficult to hold him accountable. The army lost troops and lost generals, and Brother Dong Wang knew that the impact of this matter was too great, and he had to push out a person to resist the guilt, and Li Xiucheng was the best candidate. ”

"No way!"

Yang Xiuqing flicked his sleeves and shouted: "This king has punished Li Xiucheng and ordered Li Xiucheng to go to the east gate to be a soldier guarding the door. This is already the maximum punishment, and the rest of the kings will not accept it. ”

"Brother Dongwang, you ......"

Wei Changhui was also angry, he didn't expect Yang Xiuqing to be so domineering.

Yang Xiuqing ignored it and shouted: "Come and send off guests!" ”

Immediately, two soldiers walked in. Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang saw that they couldn't get benefits, and they became more and more angry at Yang Xiuqing in their hearts, and even had murderous intentions.

The two of them saw the soldiers coming in and left in a daze.
