Chapter 16: Mania and Delirium
The sudden deterioration of the situation on the battlefield showed that in fact, the Long Xiang army had already retained its spare strength.
And when the only patriarch of the Lu clan who could pose a threat to the Jingwei mothership was wounded, the Fan Yang Lu clan would never allow him to take any more risks. Therefore, the mothership extracted the excess energy that was originally left for the shield force field and allocated it to the main guns of the battleship for attack, resulting in a sudden increase in the pressure on the shield of Jiankang City in a short period of time.
The battleship's main guns fired an average of 1 time every 10 minutes, bombarding the shield of Jiankang City, creating a hole with a radius of about 10-200 meters. The hole is repaired in an average of 60-240 seconds. However, it was this time that was enough for the drone swarm carrying the Dragon Xiang Army's special combat team and the Alien to infiltrate.
Half an hour after the main artillery began to bombard, the envoy of the Yulin Army rushed to the clan land of the Cheng clan in the Shendu.
"By the emperor's edict! The patriarch of the Cheng clan in the divine capital, the Jinyang of the Cheng clan receives the order! ”
After silently complaining about the strange form of Sima Yi's predecessor's holy decree, he bowed down and said:
"Jinyang takes the order."
"Grant, Cheng's Jinyang is the captain of the horse! Lingtianluo supports the Yulin Army, assists in the defense of Jiangning District of Jiankang City, and quells the rebel turmoil as soon as possible. ”
Cheng Jinyang's face was expressionless: "The minister accepts the order." ”
Well, the paperless decree of the Holy Decree is all dictated, which is also strange.
Lead Tianluo to support the Yulin Army to assist in the defense. In other words, the exemption period for not having to respond to the imperial court's conscription has ended, and the family has to send Tianluo to the battlefield again.
This is certainly to be expected. Originally, joining the top-secret project of attacking the mothership outside the city could temporarily exempt the imperial court from conscription, which was a secret agreement reached between the nobles and the ruling chief at the time, Wang Maohong.
Now that the military adventure has failed, Wang Maohong took the blame and resigned. The newly appointed Zhongshu Yu Yuangui, of course, will not recognize the political promises of the previous term. Coupled with the acceleration of the offensive of the Longxiang army, it was only a matter of time before the resumption.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly......
Seeing that the envoy of the Yulin Army turned around to leave, Cheng Jinyang hurriedly grabbed him and asked quietly:
"Special envoy, how did the military region arrange the retreat to Lin'an?"
To this day, everyone also sees that Su Zigao, who is still on the road, has no time to rush to help, and the imperial capital Jiankang must not be defended. So how to retreat to Lin'an, when to retreat, and who comes first and who comes later, has become the most concerned issue for all the scholars.
The further back you go, the fewer retreat routes you can choose. Those who run first take the safest ground network passage, and those who run later take the Changzhou-Songjiang ruins outer edge detour. If you are unfortunate enough to be arranged by the imperial court to leave last, it is estimated that you will have to brave the firepower of the mothership and the Long Xiang army to break through from the fallen Jiankang City.
After all, the Shendu Cheng family is a military family, and there are inextricable personal ties with the royal family and the military, so the envoy didn't sell anything, and whispered:
"Patriarch Cheng, Your Majesty's original intention was to let your Shendu Cheng clan be responsible for the security of the passage from Jiankang to Lin'an."
"But Lord Nakashu said that the enemy forces who broke into Jiankang City through the shield loophole in the morning and attacked important strongholds everywhere were the users of gravity. Shendu Cheng's family affairs are naturally more appropriate to be handled by Shendu Cheng's own. ”
Cheng Jinyang nodded quietly, and he was furious in his heart: Good you Yu Yuangui! Do you really want to get along with my Cheng family? Although you are Sister Xinnan's own uncle, I have written down this hatred!
Although he hadn't dealt much with this Zhongshu lord before, but the other party was a political enemy of his father Wang Maohong for many years, and Cheng Jinyang occasionally heard Miss Wang's evaluation of this person:
Four words, manic and arrogant.
It means that Yu Yuangui has an impatient and arrogant personality, and his ambitions are great and talented. It's a poor description.
However, all the scholars Qingliu had many praises for Yu Yuangui, and evaluated him as "a beautiful jade in a good year", which was completely different from Miss Wang's disparagement. In addition, when it comes to "self-esteem", I am afraid that no one in this world can compare to Miss Wang (who can make her look at it?). So Cheng Jinyang didn't take it seriously.
Now it seems that Wang Wanrou's evaluation is simply exquisite! According to the special envoy of the Yulin Army, where does Cheng Jinyang still not understand the meaning of this Zhongshu master?
The other party was disgusted with the previous "split" of the Shendu Cheng clan and the rebellion of some clansmen, so he couldn't trust the remaining part of the clansmen, so he rejected the emperor's proposal to let everyone guard the Lin'an Passage.
But, first of all, rebellion and division of clans is the norm in the scholars, after all, the blood incense continues to be large, and the eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Although the Shendu Cheng clan covered his ears and stole the bell to engage in "self-splitting", didn't the other families with abilities engage in it? Why bother my family alone?
Secondly, after the division of the sect, the children of the Cheng clan in the Shendu who stayed in Jiankang really tied their fate to the emperor of the imperial court. Not to mention anything else, even if you go to inquire about the festival between the previous patriarch Cheng Qingxin and my Cheng Jinyang, you will know that it is absolutely impossible for us to secretly unite.
You must know that there is no other day, and even the imperial court can only have one emperor, how can the small god capital Cheng clan accommodate two patriarchs? My uncle and I have long been incompatible, what do you have to fear about the family I lead? Is it worth it for you to resist the emperor's decision-making, and you have to let me go to the same line as the uncle?
Impatient and arrogant, ambitious and talented, there is really no fallacy at all!
"Then Your Majesty means ......," Cheng Jinyang asked again.
"Ahem, Your Majesty has adopted the opinion of Lord Zhongshu." The envoy of the Yulin Army replied, "If the Shendu Cheng clan can remove the previous rebellion, then place your family in the evacuation queue the morning after tomorrow." ”
Morning ...... the day after tomorrow Cheng Jinyang thought to himself, that's okay.
The Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family of the five surnamed families, according to my network information, are scheduled to be evacuated tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night respectively; If the family can catch up on the morning after tomorrow, it will be okay, it seems that the emperor is still concerned about my Shendu Cheng family.
It's just that if I can let the Cheng clan guard the passage from Jiankang to Lin'an, these clansmen of my family would have been able to leave Jiankang City today! Yu Zhongshu, I have written down this hatred, let's see!
"Patriarch Cheng." Seeing that his face was tense, the envoy of the Yulin Army asked cautiously, "When do you plan to go to Jiangning District to deal with those rebels of yours?" We still have to go and explain to Lord Zhongshu! ”
"The envoy laughed, those clansmen have been divided, and they have nothing to do with my god Cheng clan." Cheng Jinyang immediately straightened up, and used two "alreadys" in a row to draw a line with those people opposite.
"As for the counterinsurgency, my Shendu Cheng clan is naturally duty-bound. It's just that we are ordered to act rashly, and we will start after we investigate and confirm the situation, and it will be tomorrow at the latest. ”
"Then please ask the Shendu Cheng Clan." The envoy of the Yulin Army is also clear.
After all, the emperor has said that if he gives an evacuation quota the morning after tomorrow, the Shendu Cheng clan will definitely be desperate to get things done tomorrow.
However, Lord Zhongshu's thing is really not authentic, and since the Shendu Cheng clan is still willing to cooperate, Yulinjun's side can be regarded as relieved.
