Chapter 777: Northern Kingdom Elegy (21)
The sound of the "boom" cannon became more and more obvious, and Xu Rui could hear it clearly when he sat in the living room of Liu's mansion, and his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
With a "hula", Li Kuang walked in in a hurry, this time followed by a team of heavily armed brocade guards.
"How's it going?"
Xu Rui got up and asked.
Just when the two were discussing countermeasures, an emergency signal from Jinyiwei suddenly came from outside the mansion, and Li Kuang had to go immediately to find out.
"It's worse than expected!"
Li Kuang said with a calm face: "The entire Changxing City is out of control, there are rebels everywhere outside, except for the rebels of the King of Liao who are stepping up their attack on the palace city, Sima Shi actually led the forbidden army to kill people everywhere in the inner city to prevent fire.
The Cabinet Capital Huang Tingzhi's Mansion was slaughtered, the officials wrote Tang Huaixin's Mansion and left no chickens and dogs, and all but a very few of the leading figures of the civil and official group suffered great disasters.
It is said that before attacking the palace, he sent a brigade of men and horses to kill Yuwangfu, but Yuwang had already made arrangements, and after you left the palace, the people of the entire palace were all dispersed.
The men and horses of the King of Liao pounced into the air, immediately killed the horse pistol, and mounted the forbidden army of Sima Shi head-on in the inner city, and began a melee battle.
There was also an hour before the king of Han led his army to attack the Dongchang Imperial Prison where the prince was imprisoned, and the strange thing was that they were sniped by unknown men and horses, and the battle was back and forth, extremely fierce, and the winner was not decided for a whole hour.
In addition, the three princes used the team of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to pull up the banner, and in the name of King Qin, they were also marching towards the palace city, probably wanting to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't dare to meet the army of the King of Liao, and turned to attack Changxing Mansion halfway through.
Changxing Mansion Yin is the person of the King of Liao, and the three princes have been at odds for a long time, and now the King of Liao can't take care of his wings, Changxing Mansion Yin has no arm to help, and he was washed by the blood of the three princes' rebels, and his own head was also hung at the door of the Yamen.
At present, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods that have been backlogged in Changxing City have all jumped out, and it is a chaotic battle when they walk out of this gate, and the situation is already very bad. ”
"So the domino effect has begun, and the worst is ......"
Xu Rui was surprised when he heard this, and muttered to himself.
"What's the worst-case scenario? Now it's a big mess, and I'm afraid I don't know what will happen after that! ”
Li Kuang said hatefully.
Xu Rui came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this, it's the situation, the situation." ”
Li Kuang frowned: "Isn't that what I'm talking about?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "All this you said is just the appearance, it is the domino effect derived from the palace, the real core is in the palace, in the saint!"
Changxing City is completely out of control, which means that the Shengshang's balancing strategy has completely collapsed, that is to say, the situation in the palace has also been out of control, and he has completely lost control of the situation. ”
"Are you saying that the succession matter is still a big mess after all?!"
Li Kuang asked nervously.
Xu Rui nodded: "Judging from the current situation, this is the case, the situation we were worried about has still happened, and now I'm afraid that something has happened to the saint himself, we can't wait any longer!" ”
"What can you do to turn the tide?"
When Li Kuang heard this, a look of anticipation suddenly flashed on his face.
Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "The seizure of the heir has caused a catastrophe, and it is out of control, and now it is a lie to others and oneself to turn the tide, and the plan for today is to try to preserve the strength, and wait until this catastrophe is over to try to set things right and make up for the damage." ”
Li Kuang's face changed when he heard this.
"Is there really no way?"
Xu Rui sneered: "If you just want to suppress the rebellion in Changxing City, then there is still a way, but what I am worried about is not in Changxing City!" ”
Li Kuang was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Xu Rui said: "If, as we said before, this chaos is a decisive battle between two dark chess teams, then what will happen to the person standing behind the dark chess?" ”
Li Kuang was taken aback: "Are you worried about King Wuling?!" ”
Xu Rui nodded solemnly: "The replacement of the throne is a battle for the country's capital, and once it is lost, it will cause a catastrophe.
At the moment, no matter what, I can't avoid the catastrophe of Dawei.
No matter who becomes the final victor from all sides of the throne, my Great Wei will inevitably pay a painful price, and even fall into division, as long as King Wuling is not a fool, he will definitely take advantage of this internal friction to set off a monstrous wave.
At that time, our Great Wei will lose a large area of territory at least and give away the fruits of decades or even hundreds of years of hard work, or at worst, it will immediately face the situation of destroying the country and exterminating the species, so that the Southern Dynasty will achieve the great cause of dominating the world! ”
"What?!"
Li Kuang was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly looked at Xu Rui and said, "Stop him, we must stop him!" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "The catastrophe can't be stopped, we can only try to keep the foundation of the Great Wei, and wait until the catastrophe is over, there will still be enough capital to fight against the fatal blow that the Southern Dynasty may come!" ”
"How to keep the foundation of Great Wei?"
Li Kuang asked again.
Xu Rui stretched out three fingers and said: "There are three foundations, first, we must do our best to protect the living force of the Apocalypse, only the Apocalypse Guard can fight against the army that may appear at any time in the Southern Dynasty."
Second, if my expectations are correct, the Holy Ten ** is located in King Su, and we have to keep the orthodox inheritance, so that we can unite all parties and set things right.
Third, we have to suppress the locality, lock this catastrophe firmly in the capital, and not let the Great Wei State break its muscles and bones, so that we can have the capital for a decisive battle with the Southern Dynasties! ”
Li Kuang's face became heavier and heavier the more he listened, and he shook his head and said: "These three points must be based on the premise of controlling the Apocalypse, but now you have no military power, and the Apocalypse Guard is also restrained by the Holy Lord, you are like a tiger with teeth knocked out, what can you do?" ”
Xu Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce color: "The situation is compelling, and I can't manage so much, so I can only take risks!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Rui shouted: "Come on, change clothes!" ”
Li Kuang was stunned for a moment, only to see Qin Fei immediately rush in with a few personal soldiers to put on armor and daqi for Xu Rui, and he immediately realized that Xu Rui was going to go to the Apocalypse Guard camp in person and forcibly take away the military power.
However, this matter is very dangerous, not to mention whether Xu Rui can break through the layers of blockade and join forces with the Apocalypse, even if he really goes to the camp of the Apocalypse, the Apocalypse Guard is not Xu Rui's private soldier, once it is dispatched, it will be a rebellion, do they dare to hand over their lives to Xu Rui?
"Young master, someone is here in the palace!"
At this moment, the old butler hurried in.
Xu Rui and Li Kuang were both stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite someone in!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the two saw Zhengyu appear at the door of the living room with a few soldiers of the forbidden army.
"Master Hou, the slave has finally found you."
Zhengyu said to Xu Rui with a smile that when he saw Li Kuang, a trace of foreign color flashed on his face, but it only returned to normal in an instant.
Li Kuang looked at Zhengyu and couldn't help frowning.
Although Zhengyu's appearance is very humble and his tone is quite polite, for some reason, Li Kuang always feels that every action hidden under that smile carries a trace of hypocrisy, as if he is deliberately acting for others to see, not from sincerity.
Xu Rui was slightly startled when he saw Zhengyu: "Why is Zhengyu you?" What happened in the palace? ”
Zhengyu smiled faintly and said: "Hou Ye, rest assured, the overall situation in the palace has been decided, and the current chaos is not to worry about!" ”
