Fang Yisheng hated Pan Zihao very much, and he also hated himself, he couldn't capture this dog thief, what kind of fourth genius in Jiangnan was he! He had never felt inferior and self-loathing like this, and felt that if Wang Yan or Zhang Jinyan were here, Pan Zihao would die.

He thinks hard about what to do every day.

did not let Pan Zihao enter the customs.

The Vermilion Bird King is also worried about Pan Zihao.

He was ordered to lead the war in northern Xinjiang, and only two days after leaving the capital, he learned the news that Wang Yan Zhang Jinyan had launched a mutiny in the imperial city, and immediately sent his henchman Li Han to lead a team of elite soldiers, day and night, to take him and Fan Gang down before Pan Zihao learned the news of the capital, and correct the law on the spot.

However, on the night of the mutiny in the imperial city, when Wang Yan cleared the remnants of the abolished emperor, all the spies planted in the capital were exposed, or died or captured, and the people who escaped by luck hurriedly sent a warning to Qin Peng, the prince of Anguo, who was lurking in the farm on the outskirts of the capital. Qin Peng immediately evacuated Dajing, and sent a message to the north and northwest of Xinjiang.

Pan Zihao got the news.

He immediately decided to take refuge in Anguo.

He said to the generals: "King Xuanwu and the Wang family rebelled, and the rebellious ministers and thieves were punished!" Although An Guo is an opponent, An Huang is a descendant of Emperor Taizu, surnamed Qin. Now that Dajing is in ruin and the royal family is declining, I might as well take refuge in Anguo and help Anguo's forces to exterminate the rebel party in order to revive Dajing. ”

Some agreed, others hesitated.

There are different opinions and contentions.

"Isn't this a traitor?"

"How is it a traitor? Emperor Anguo is also surnamed Qin, and Dajing is a brother. King Xuanwu is a rebel and thief! The war between Anguo and Dajing is tantamount to a quarrel between two brothers. Now that King Xuanwu wants to seize the country, of course the two brothers must join forces. ”

"I'm afraid it's a tiger."

"No, it won't. In the future, Anguo will unify the world, which is equivalent to Dajing unifying the world, and it will still be the Qin Dynasty, but it will be a different emperor. ”

……

He successfully lobbied many generals.

Fang Yisheng was bent on arresting Pan Zihao, and thought of many methods, but without success, he went around his back and attacked him back and forth with the defenders in Xuanwu Pass. Who knew that Pan Zihao and the spies in the pass should cooperate with the outside, the spies opened the drawbridge, and Pan Zihao led the army to rush into the pass, closed the pass, and blocked Fang Yisheng's army.

Fang Yisheng was not surprised, he had already arranged it, just waiting for Pan Zihao to enter the urn, but he didn't know that Xuanwu Pass was out of his control, and he couldn't enter it anymore.

Pan Zihao had already transmitted the news of the mutiny in the imperial city to Xuanwu Pass, and publicized it everywhere through the generals who sent military rations, saying that the Xuanwu royal family and the Wang family and the Fang family had rebelled, and Dajing was dead, and they should unite with Anguo to exterminate the rebels and revive Dajing, and finally rebelled against a group of soldiers, and Pan Zihao led 200,000 forbidden troops to surrender to the enemy.

Among them, some people were willing, and most of them were the soldiers he brought from the capital; others were instigated and coaxed by him in the name of reviving Dajing; The last part is the captured Xuanwu Pass soldiers.

Tens of thousands of forbidden troops escaped.

The resident army of Xuanwu Pass is 400,000, and after this consumption, half of them are still blocked under Xuanwu Pass, headed by Fang Yisheng.

Qin Peng led his army into Xuanwu Pass.

Chen Xiuwen, the secretary of the military department, went to the north with the sword of the Son of Heaven to announce the decree and booby trap the king of Xuanwu. King Xuanwu detained Chen Xiuwen and rebelled against Dajing without hesitation. He ordered his henchman general Qing Mo to stick to the northern frontier and led his army straight to Xuanwu Pass.

The Suzaku King also arrived.

At the end of the first month, the two kings met.

The Vermilion Bird King led 10,000 elite soldiers, and the light cavalry was simple, and he arrived first; King Xuanwu led 300,000 horses and horses, mighty, while raising grain and grass along the way, the burden was heavy, and he arrived. The convergence of the two kings, together with the old department of Zhongyi Gong, totaling more than 500,000 horses and horses, were all blocked under the Xuanwu Pass, and the camp tents stretched for several miles.

Qin Peng, the prince of Anguo, sat in Xuanwu Pass, and Pan Zihao also turned the spearhead against his comrades in his homeland. To this end, he used all his strength to secretly send orders to the local government and military centers along the route from Dajing Capital to the northwest, looking for every opportunity to burn the grain and grass transported to the north and cut off the road to Queen Xuanwu.

It's hard to prevent.

Pan Zihao just surrendered to the enemy, who would have thought that he would be mad, disregard the lives of millions of soldiers, and burn grain and grass? Moreover, the transfer of military supplies involves a lot of personnel, and before Dajing, there were civil strife and disputes, and the factions were complicated. It's just hard to prevent!

The follow-up grain and grass were burned, and the existing grain stock was only enough for more than 500,000 people to eat for ten days, which was simply waiting for death in front of the two armies.

The Vermilion Bird King and the Xuanwu King are both heroes, and they have an empty body of Wen Taowu strategy, but they were framed by the villain, and they are unspeakably angry.

Although Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan have seized the power of the Dajing Emperor and controlled the capital, it is said that the Anguo spies and the remnants of the abolished emperor in the capital have been wiped out, and now the court is working together to resist the invasion of Anguo, and there is no need to worry about the follow-up military supplies, but can they wait until that time?

There was a period of food shortage.

At least a month.

Will they be able to hold out for a month?

Anguo did not give them a chance to breathe at all, and had concentrated most of his troops at Xuanwu Pass, waiting for them to faint from hunger.

The two kings refused to sit still and were determined to attack as defense, so they concentrated artillery fire to storm Xuanwu Pass, but Qin Peng and Pan Zihao refused to fight.

They also sent elite soldiers to attack Xuanwu Pass from both sides, but Xuanwu Pass was built by the first generation of Xuanwu King, built according to the steep mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they lacked weapons, how could they attack it in a hurry?

You can't advance, and you can't withdraw either.

If the two kings withdraw their troops, Anguo will take the opportunity to wave his army south, chase and kill halfway, and then drive straight into the capital; If the two kings defend to the death, there is no food and grass, and when hundreds of thousands of soldiers are hungry and exhausted, they will open the Xuanwu Pass, attack on a large scale, and fight a decisive battle, in short, it will be a situation of death.

They sent troops to the vicinity to collect grain and grass, which was a drop in the bucket and could also solve some urgent needs. As the days passed, morale was low.

The Vermilion Bird King blamed King Xuanwu for not rebelling, forcing Pan Zihao to jump over the wall in a hurry, and sent a wave of anger at King Xuanwu.

On that day in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Yin and Zhang Boyuan sat at the top, and Fang Yisheng and other generals sat on the left and right, and the atmosphere was tense and dignified.

Zhao Yin questioned Zhang Boyuan: "Do you want to be the emperor?" Do you have the prestige and the power to rule the world? If you had, you wouldn't have fallen into this situation. Don't talk about others, this king will be the first to disobey you! If you can be the emperor, so can this king. Why do you let this king assist you and serve you as Lord? ”

He gave King Xuanwu no face in public.

The generals were silent.

The king to the king, they have only listen.

Zhang Boyuan asked rhetorically: "Then according to the opinion of the virtuous brother, this king should be arrested, and watch the faint monarch wipe out the Zhang family and the Wang family?" ”

Zhao Yin was speechless. In fact, he couldn't bear to watch the Zhang family and the Wang family be wiped out, so he knew that there were changes in the capital, but he stayed out of the matter.

Zhang Boyuan said: "This king has no ambition to be the emperor. The king had no choice. His voice was gloomy and desolate, and the people who listened to it couldn't bear it, and half of them had hot eyes, and Fang Yisheng was especially sad.

Zhao Yin snorted coldly and said, "Whether you want to be the emperor or not, it has already been reversed, but you don't want this king to surrender to you easily." Emperor, not just anyone can do it, Emperor Jiaxing is the best example. ”

Zhang Boyuan asked, "What does the virtuous brother mean?" ”

Zhao Yin intercepted: "In the current situation, this king thinks: Whoever can defeat Anguo and make the world return to his heart is the master!" ”

Zhang Boyuan smiled and said: "Fighting for hegemony in the world is what we are fighting for. Brother Xian, this is going to fight? His voice was laughing, but his eyes were flashing with melancholy.

He wasn't afraid of Zhao Yin, but he didn't want to turn against Zhao Yin. If they fight each other, the old world friends, colleagues, and comrades will kill each other, and the civil strife will last for I don't know how many years it will last.

Zhao Yin said categorically: "Whoever can defeat Anguo, you and I will be the emperor!" ”

Zhang Boyuan was silent for a moment, and then responded, "Okay." ”
