In the study room of the East King of the East King of the Tianjing East Palace, Yang Xiuqing, the East King, was dressed in regular clothes, with his long hair scattered behind his head, and only a bunch of silk silk was used. At this time, he was walking around restlessly, and several henchmen in the palace, the generals of the East Palace, did not dare to take their seats, and they all stood and looked at the East King. They hadn't seen the East King so angry and uneasy for a long time, even if the army was defeated in Nanchang last year, they didn't see the East King like this.

It's already December weather, and the winter rain inside and outside Tianjing City is continuous, and it's cold through, but what makes people feel even more chilling is the cold face of Dongwang. Chen Chengying moved his stiff body slightly, squinted at Qin Rigang, Yang Fuqing, Zeng Shuiyuan and others, and saw that several important people in the room were silent.

Yang Xiuqing walked a few steps with his hands in his hands and suddenly stood still, picked up a pastel tea bowl produced by Jun Yao on the side of the case, took a big sip, followed by a tense face, and slammed the tea bowl to the ground. Everyone in the hall shuddered, and Yang Xiuqing shouted angrily: "Speak!" You are talking! If the West Hall is reversed, do you dare to fight?! ”

No one said a word, Yang Xiuqing looked at Chen Chengying and said angrily: "Ding Tianhou, you say!" ”

Chen Chengying didn't expect Yang Xiuqing to directly name him, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "My subordinates feel that the king of the West should have no objection......

Yang Xiuqing was furious: "I was called to not return to Beijing, resisted the entry of the heavenly soldiers into Sufu Province, changed the Tianjing laws and regulations without authorization, and secretly communicated with foreigners, and the Tianjing orders did not work for Su Fu, what are these not rebellions?" ”

Chen Chengying said cautiously: "Your Highness, Su Fu's new policy is an order of Tianjing, although Su Fu Province has acted in many absurdities, but the people under his rule still live and work in peace and contentment. It is also necessary to trade with foreigners, and we need firearms and medicine from foreign brothers. As for not being summoned to enter Beijing......"

Speaking of this, Chen Chengying couldn't go on, Yang Xiuqing snorted coldly and said: "I can't go on, he Xiao Chaogui has a heart of disobedience once he is full-fledged." This king summoned him back to Beijing, but he couldn't shirk it! Hu Yihuang's army marched eastward, and he sent troops to confront him in Huzhou, do you still say that he is not opposed? How much benefit did Xiao Chaogui give you? Well?! ”

Dongwang's gaze swept over the people in the room, and everyone was so frightened that they fell to their knees, and Yang Xiuqing was even more furious: "Invent the edict and order all the soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty to crusade against Xiao Chaogui at all costs!" ”

Everyone in the room was shocked, and Zeng Shuiyuan couldn't care about it so much, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, think twice, although the King of the West is acting disrespectfully. But he is still the king of the west of the kingdom of heaven, Su Fu's soldiers and horses are still the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom of heaven, and it is not a blessing for the kingdom of heaven for brothers to kill each other. ”

Qin Rigang looked at Zeng Shuiyuan and echoed: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Zeng is right. Now there is no chance of winning the war with the Xidian army. Hu Yihuang fought a battle in Guangde and the West Temple. Thousands of people can't defeat more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the West Temple, which shows that the combat power of the West Temple Army is extraordinary. Besides, the Qing Demon is in a hurry to besiege Changsha, and we are waiting for a vicious battle with the West Palace, but I am afraid that it will be cheaper for the Qing Demon. ”

Yang Xiuqing snorted, the battle of Guangde was a small battle between the east hall and the west hall, and Hu Yihuang raised 300,000 troops to threaten Sufu Province. The Chen soldiers in the west hall did not show weakness in the confrontation, and Guangde was the border between Huzhou County and Xuancheng, which was controlled by the east hall. After the confrontation between the two armies for ten months, Hu Yihuang discovered that Guangde was only guarded by more than 1,000 Xidian troops, and first sent 8,000 people to attack Guangde. Unexpectedly, he had a blue nose and swollen face, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded, but he didn't even touch the city wall of Guangde, so he had to retreat.

In this confrontation, both the east hall and the west hall reached a tacit understanding, the east hall did not completely tear its face, Tianjing did not announce the rebellion of the king of the west, and the west hall did not change its flag, still under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In the temptation, Yang Xiuqing saw the strength of the soldiers and horses in the West Palace, although there were only 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the West Hall opposite the 300,000 soldiers and horses, Yang Xiuqing knew what kind of goods the 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command were, and there were only about 100,000 soldiers who could really fight, and the rest were all put together by Lazhuang Ding, and some didn't even have decent weapons. However, the Xidian army is all elite in a hundred battles, and the firearms of the Xidian army are powerful, and I heard that the Xidian army still has about 100,000 troops in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Sufu and Fujian.

Yang Xiuqing began to find that he underestimated Xiao Chaogui, even if he gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses in the east hall, he might not be able to enter Sufu Province, and the navy army in the west hall was also quite strong, they cooperated with the Zhenjiang Fort to block the Yangtze River, and the navy in the east hall could not go further east. Unless he unites the North Hall and the Wing Hall soldiers and horses, he may be able to fight, but will the North King and the Wing King send troops?

Since the confrontation between the east hall and the west hall, the people of the heavenly kingdom have been panicking, and the winged king Shi Dakai has sent a series of letters, persuading Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui to take the great cause of the heavenly kingdom as the most important thing, and turn the war into jade silk, while the king of the north is to watch from the wall. Many people in the DPRK and China only persuaded peace, and there were very few people who supported Yang Xiuqing's troops.

Then the news of Changsha being besieged by the Hunan army came, Yang Xiuqing was a little panicked, Hu Yihuang's army marched eastward, Jiangxi and Hunan were empty, and he had to order Shi Dakai to rescue Changsha.

Shi Dakai, the king of wings, is attacking Xiangfan, and at the same time has to defend Wuchang, assist in the defense of Yuezhou, and deal with the Qing army in Yiyang and Changde. However, the Hunan army Zeng Guofan formed a hard village in the north of Changsha at the beginning, and the Yidian reinforcements attacked several times and were never able to open the Qing army camp.

At this time, Yang Xiuqing realized that if he did not withdraw the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi, Changsha might not be protected. But he is stubborn and self-serving, and it is difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, Hu Yihuang's soldiers and horses are not withdrawn, nor are they withdrawn, Yang Xiuqing is also afraid that the soldiers and horses will retreat, and Xiao Chaogui will take advantage of the situation to enter the capital.

Chen Chengying suddenly said: "Your Highness, the King of the West will have no objection, the King of the West family is all in Tianjing, and if the King of Heaven comes forward to say that he agrees, the East and West families can stop the army." Now that the wing hall and the north hall are waiting, why does His Highness bother to make wedding clothes for others? ”

Since the confrontation with the West Palace, Yang Xiuqing has ordered to surround the Xiwangfu in Tianjing, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and all the people in the Xiwangfu have been placed under house arrest in disguise, which can be regarded as taking all the people in the Xiwangfu as hostages.

Hearing this, Yang Xiuqing sat down slowly, and he began to think about whether it was unwise for him to take the strongest West Hall as soon as he came up, the strength of the West Hall made him ignore the North Hall and the Wing Hall.

At the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, among the six kings of Shouyi, the four kings of the east, west, north and south were all appointed as military advisors, although he was the king of the east who was in charge of Tianjing, but it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be replaced by the kings of the northwest wing one day. In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the king of heaven did not call the emperor, but only called long live, although he is the co-lord of the world, but in the end, several princes are also crowned with the title of king, which makes people feel a little unclear. This is also a major hidden danger since the rise of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has no emperor, the Heavenly King is not very much in charge, whoever can be the master of the army and hold the power, who is the actual authority of the Heavenly Kingdom. Several princes with the title of military advisor have a chance, so Yang Xiuqing constantly suppressed the King of the West, the King of the North and the King of Wings.

Now that he is attacking the King of the West, but he finds that it is still a lose-lose situation, Yang Xiuqing began to think about whether he should give in for the time being, and after he cleaned up the North King and the Wing King, he would integrate all the Shili of the Heavenly Kingdom, and then come to compete with the West Palace?

The North King and the Wing King are still weak now, Yang Xiuqing is still sure that the two kings will be taken down in one fell swoop and imprisoned in Tianjing, just integrate the forces of the two kings, plus the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, Yang Xiuqing is sure to defeat the West King in one fell swoop, and he is the only East King left in the Zuihou Tianjing City. Just like the death of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, anyone who threatens his status as the king of the east should not exist in this world. Men learn from Feng Yunshan, and women learn from Hu Jiumei, where is he Dongwang?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing let out a sigh of relief, sat down and asked, "Can the King of the West listen to the advice of the Heavenly King?" ”

Chen Chengying nodded and said: "The King of the West has always been loyal, if he is not persecuted too much, he will definitely not have antirighteousness, and he will still respect the edict of the Heavenly King." His Royal Highness does not have to worry that the West Hall army will enter Beijing, so far, the West Hall has not dared to do such a big thing, if he really dares to use troops against Tianjing, he is the enemy of the entire Celestial Empire, and the millions of soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom will do their best to quell the rebellion, and there will be no shirk. ”

This confrontation between the east and the west was an incident provoked by the east hall, and the king of the west has always been on the defensive, and he did not raise his flag to rebel hot-headedly, let alone take the opportunity to send troops to cross Sufu Province to occupy other places, but only strictly guarded the border of Sufu Province. Many people in the Kingdom of Heaven were already very dissatisfied with the move of the East King, and the West King was not at fault, but because he was not summoned to Beijing by the East King, he attracted a large army to suppress the border, which was too arrogant, because the East King Zhao was not called by the King of Heaven, and the West King was not a rebellion if he had something to shirk, and the people in Tianjing were actually worried that the West King would be forced to rebel. After all, the king of the west is an important minister of the Celestial Empire, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Sufu Province, is it a blessing for the Celestial Empire to force the opposition to the king of the west just for the ambition of the king of the east?

However, due to the prestige of the king of the east, many people did not dare to say anything openly, but they were very opposed to really declaring the king of the west a rebellion and crusading. But if the king of the west really raises the flag and rebels, they will firmly stand on the side of Tianjing, because the king of heaven is still in Tianjing.

Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Shilling Hu Yihuang transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangxi and opened up a land route to rescue Changsha. The king of heaven will go to meet in person later, and when you go to the edict of the king, Chen Chengying, you will go to Suzhou to see the king of the west in person. ”

Chen Chengying and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and after receiving the order, they each retired. Out of the East Palace, Chen Chengying was stopped by Qin Rigang and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this trick to the east?" It seems that after the East King and the West King make peace, they will move the North King and the Wing King, and the Heavenly King wants to wait for the East King and the West King to divide the victory and defeat before making a move. ”

Chen Chengying smiled faintly and said, "Are you really so stupid to be the king of the East?" He also knew that he couldn't start a full-scale war with the king of the west now, and today he just wanted to find someone to talk about it, so that he could make peace with the west hall decently. Even if he didn't have me, he would have made peace with the West Temple. ”

Qin Rigang's eyes widened and said, "If you can't fight, what should you do with the Heavenly King's plan?" ”

Chen Chengying sneered: "The East King provoked the West King, and then wanted to move the North King and the Wing King, do you think several princes will sit and wait to be killed?" Throwing themselves into the Heavenly King and joining forces to deal with the Eastern King is their way out. The East King and the West King have a complete falling out this time, so let's wait to see the show later. (To be continued......)
