Chapter 270: Qiu Mu (3)
Rong Ying had a dull birthday, but the fiery battle situation was still approaching step by step, and sure enough, on the second day of his birthday, the news came that the Liang army had reached Jinzhou.
From the name of Jinzhou, it is not difficult to see that Jinzhou is the closest state to Jinling. For the Great Sage, this place is simply a creaking nest next to the heart, but no one expected to pierce from here.
The first and most important point is that outside Jinzhou, it is the place where Dasheng and Yuguo border, and Yuguo has been a subject of Dasheng since its establishment, and this relationship has lasted for more than 100 years, and no one thought that Yuguo would suddenly turn back this time. Second, the terrain here is not suitable for attack, if you want to enter Jinzhou, you have to pass through a canyon about five miles long, and there is a pass in the canyon, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Jinzhou is a place where there are few garrisons, because, after the first emperor moved the capital to Jinling, in fact, he did not move much of the armaments from the eastern capital, except for the Janissaries, the garrisons around the eastern capital only stayed in place, and there were only more than 30,000 people in Jinzhou City.
Rong Ying realized this, and the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to get rid of King Yu, who actually spoke and counted in the eastern capital, which was something that the first emperor had always wanted to do, but failed to do.
The army in the eastern capital did not have a commander for a while, and Rong Yingzai sent the general of Zhennan Cheng to take over the eastern capital and integrate the surrounding military defense, but before he could bring the army back, something like this happened.
In Liang Wei's position, this is to make the weakness bigger before the gap is plugged, or even comprehensively defeated.
Today's Great Sage is attacked on three sides, and the Liguo State, which was originally a vassal state of the Liang State, is also increasing its troops in the west at this time, and the main force on the Yanzhou side cannot be withdrawn.
Jinling is in a hurry, and the safest thing now is the Eastern Capital, so Rong Ying learned that the Liang State had been attacking day and night, and came to Jinzhou City, so he immediately asked Xinyue to start and remove the harem dependents from the Eastern Capital.
The new moon was a little distraught. These days, she has been paying attention to herself and the harem, and she is exhausted for a while about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she doesn't want to ask about things that have something to do with Liang Wei, and when she finally solves the contradiction with Rong Ying, and has a little leisure, something like this happens.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, you speak." Xiao Li sat beside Mercy, Mercy grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes with both hands, Xinyue looked at her pale, calmed down, and answered Xiao Li's question, "Now, the most important thing is to send the two princes out first, Your Majesty had an order yesterday, saying that Concubine Chai Guifei, with compassion, and the other concubines in the palace went to the Eastern Capital, the old palace of the Eastern Capital has been repaired five years ago, and you are still living in the old palace of the Eastern Capital." General Cheng has stabilized the situation in the eastern capital, and now the foreign enemy is invading, because after the king of Yu goes, no matter how chaotic the eastern capital is, it will definitely not cause anything at this time, it must be unanimous with the outside world, you have to believe this. ”
"Then, is it only the ladies who go to the Eastern Capital, or are all the officials and relatives going to the Eastern Capital?" The eldest princess of Yiqing also entered the palace early in the morning, her face was hard to see, she was the sister of the first emperor, her status was noble, and her life has been smooth so far, but in the face of changes, she can also live calmly.
"Although it is still too early to say that it is too early to leave Jinling, but the eldest princess, I still want you to remind the children of the royal family to get ready, and it will be the month of Layue in half a month, if Jinzhou is lost, we may not be able to spend this year in Jinling." Crescent Moon gave the eldest princess a very definite reply.
The eldest princess frowned, and then nodded, "Yes, the concubine knows." ”
"So, what about us?" Shan'er and Xinyue's sister-in-law Cao sat beside Xiao Li, if it was said that the merciful Xiao Li was the representative of the palace concubines, and the eldest princess was the representative of the clan, then the two of them were the people who came to inquire about the news of the meritorious marquis.
Xinyue frowned and glanced at her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, do you want to make trouble at this time?" The eldest brother is still ahead, you go to see Zhenbei Hou's house, when will their family leave, you come to me again to give you an explanation. Now, before the enemy has come in, are you here to make trouble for yourselves? ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not a pity for the concubine to die, but Minhui and Mincong, they are also your own nephews and nieces, if they can leave with all the mothers, the concubine can be here until the day of our great victory." Cao's voice was crying, but it was rare, and he was also angry.
Xinyue glanced at Shan'er, thinking about it, Shan'er also meant this, so Xinyue thought for a while and said, "After you go back, go and choose a few of the nobles of several adults, safe ladies, take the children, nurses, get ready first." When things aren't going well, get ready to leave. ”
"Yes" Shan'er nodded, Cao Shi also wiped away her tears, Xinyue looked at Chai Bijun again, she didn't say a word, and then she found that Xinyue was looking at her, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Niangniang, what about you?" ”
"This palace is here to advance and retreat with His Majesty. The palace has discussed with His Majesty, and both of us have agreed, and at this time, you will take the princes and princesses to the Eastern Capital. ”
"Concubine, concubine body wants to stay by His Majesty's side, with..."
"Guifei, don't fight with me this time." After Xinyue finished speaking, Chai Bijun immediately understood, and then nodded heavily.
After discussing the matter, Xinyue supported her forehead, and after she watched everyone leave, she held her forehead, and Xi'er gave Xinyue a cup of ginseng tea, "Niangniang, it's cloudy outside, the sky will get more and more stuffy, you drink some ginseng tea to nourish your mind." ”
Xinyue shook her head, Xi'er had to put the tea in Xinyue's hand, and Xinyue asked, "Lian'er, where is Lian'er?" ”
"Your Highness is still in the study."
"It's going to rain, you go pick him up earlier."
"Yes"
"Well, what about Your Majesty? I want to see him. ”
"Your Majesty is in the study, do you want to go over?"
The crescent moon stood up, and at this moment a thunderclap came, causing the crescent moon to raise its head, it was not summer at this time, but after the thunder, the heavy rain immediately slanted down.
Xinyue frowned, looked at the heavy rain that had already trapped people for a while, and said to Xi'er, "Shuyu, what can I do with Shuyu?" ”
"Niangniang, the princess is the princess of the Great Sage, and all this is something she has to go through." Xinyue glanced at Xi'er, who was very calm, and said to her, "You, I handed over Lian'er and Shuyu to you, and you take them to the Eastern Capital safely." ”
"Niangniang, the slave wants to accompany you here."
"They are the lives of me and Your Majesty, and it is more important than anything else for you to protect them." After the new moon finished speaking, tears flowed down her face.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Xi'er smiled, the rain curtain was getting bigger and bigger, and she took a deep breath to quiet herself.
"I have seen Your Majesty" When Xinyue entered the study, there were also Lord Li of Bing Cao, Lord Weiwang of Jinling, and some civil officials in the study, Xinyue restrained herself and saluted Rong Ying.
Rong Ying was very busy, and after seeing the new moon, she wanted to smile, and then stretched out her hand and said to the new moon, "Come, come to me." ”
"Yes" Xinyue stepped forward and stood beside Rong Ying.
Rong Ying's bookcase put a picture on it, on which two deep red lines were drawn, these two red lines, surrounded Jinling, and cut Jinling completely from the map of the Great Sage, and soon, Jinling would become a lonely city.
"Your Majesty, for today's plan, is to block the mountain pass in the north, and put 30,000 elite soldiers at the exit of the western camp to ensure that reinforcements can come in smoothly." It was Master Li of Bingcao who spoke, and he was the most anxious.
"At this time, 30,000 soldiers will be dispatched at once, and the place with the most firepower will be the mountain pass in the north, and the north also needs support, and it is difficult to draw out these 30,000 soldiers." Lord Wang knows the terrain of Jinling and the state of preparedness of the army better than anyone else, "There is also the palace, Your Majesty is here, and the forbidden army is not a single person who can move." ”
Xinyue could see that Lord Li just wanted to take the 100,000 forbidden troops in Jinling City, but was rejected by Lord Wang.
Rong Ying thought for a while and said, "The soldiers of the Liang State are mostly soldiers, they are fast, their attack power is high, and after crossing the mountain pass, most of them are plains and waterways, and it is difficult to stop them in the north." And the north side will also be the place where they focus on attacking, no matter how many of the elite soldiers are arranged here, most of them are also used as cannon fodder. ”
After hearing this, Lord Wang first nodded, and then spoke his opinion, "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, but if you don't resist, the Liang army will come in from the mountain pass, and in two days, you will be under the Jinling Mountains." ”
"Your Majesty, if you abandon Jinling at this time and run to the Eastern Capital, all the problems can be solved." It was a civil official who spoke, Xinyue glanced at Rong Ying's face, he was just worried, but he was calm, but after hearing this suggestion, he immediately spoke, "Come on, pull him down and cut him down." ”
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is the truth. Liang broke Jinzhou this time, just to encircle Jinling, and they couldn't bear the other consequences at all, once the reinforcements from the eastern capital and the reinforcements from the northern front were together, they were all wiped out in Jinling, and it was not known. As long as the royal court is still there, Jinling can be lost. ”
"My lord, Jinling is the place where the royal court is located, if Jinling is lost, the military heart of the Great Sage will be chaotic, and the military will be in chaos, even if we have millions of elite soldiers in the east, it will not help. Moreover, Jinling is the capital, and it can be discarded casually, so what will the people in other cities think of Your Majesty, Yanzhou is an example given by Liang Guo, that is, once the city is broken, the people of the whole city will suffer because of it. Jinzhou can't be lost, let alone Jinling, you are trying to shake the morale of the army and the people's will, and you will not die unjustly. After Xinyue finished speaking, Rong Ying raised her lips in satisfaction and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't pull it out and kill it." ”
After the gray-haired minister who didn't know the name of the new moon was pulled out, the atmosphere in the study became more solemn, and at this time, Cao's sister-in-law and Cao Jie's father, Lord Cao, said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, although Lord Wu deserves to die, but the minister, the minister thinks that sticking to Jinling is really not a good way." ”
"Lord Cao..."Xinyue wanted to speak, but glanced at Rong Ying, Rong Ying nodded, and Xinyue said, "We have to hold on, at least until the wives and children of the adults arrive in the Eastern Capital." ”
"What do you mean?" Lord Cao's eyes widened as he looked at the crescent moon.
Xinyue nodded, "This palace just came over after discussing with the ladies. Jinling can't be lost, but it must be prepared as soon as possible. ”
Xinyue's words undoubtedly gave a reassurance to those adults who advocated abandoning the city, they are also good ministers with blood, at such a time, of course, they also want to advance and retreat with their own country and the capital, but there are more concerned people in the family, and now I heard that Xinyue has been solving their worries, and they immediately became emotional, and knelt on the ground one after another, "Your Majesty, Xie Niangniang Longen." ”
"Get up, the most important thing now is the current war."
The new moon listened carefully to their discussion, and the sound of the rain did not mean to become smaller.
Until it was dark, and the matter was almost discussed, Xinyue looked at several ministers, and they all kept looking outside, thinking about the things at home outside the palace, so he proposed to Rong Ying, "Your Majesty, it's not early, the palace gate is about to be keyed, and it is inconvenient for you to stay in the palace, so please go back first, leave the small door in front, and you can come in from the small door in front of you." ”
Rong Ying saw that Xinyue hadn't spoken, there must be a reason for her to say this, and then nodded, "Since that's the case, let's disperse first." ”
"Yes," the adults immediately gathered their things and turned to leave.
The originally overcrowded study room immediately became empty, the palace people changed to new tea, Rong Ying also rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said, "This group of mediocre ministers, who eat the king's luck, are still thinking about their own family affairs." ”
"I didn't get angry when I saw you, and I think you also know that this is human nature, they are human ministers, but at home, they are also human sons, husbands and fathers. You don't either. ”
"Yes, but I'm just unwilling, unwilling to let him restrain me like this." As she spoke, Rong Ying smashed her fist hard at the bookcase, but the bookcase was a fine wood and did not move.
"Don't your hands hurt?" Saying that, Xinyue took Rong Ying's hand and asked, "Let me ask you, don't hide it from me, Liang Wei, did he ask for something again, you didn't meet it, that's why he is so crazy?" ”
"What do you think?" Rong Ying glanced at Xinyue, which was an indirect answer to Xinyue's question.
"How can I do it, how can I do it" Xinyue's heart trembled, and then sent Rong Ying's hand.
Rong Ying understood what she meant, and immediately grabbed her hand, "I'll tell you, immediately dispel the thoughts in your head, don't even think about it, if you dare to go to Liang Wei, I'll kill..."
"How? Did you still kill Shuyu? ”
