"The two marshals Xiao and Liu have used all their forces to reinforce Donglan Fort, but they have encountered stubborn resistance from the remnants of the Silent Annihilation Army, and Feng Changsheng, the general of Liangzhou, has been defeated by the Black Flag Army one step earlier and led the remnants to withdraw from the battlefield.

At present, Liangzhou is burning everywhere with Donglan Fort as the center, although Donglan Fort has not been broken for the time being, but the offensive of Wuling's pro-army is like a tide, and I am afraid it will not last long. ”

Lin Shaodong read the imperial court's newspaper in a deep voice, after the Southern Dynasty army withdrew from the battlefield, the communication channels that had been blocked for nearly two months were finally opened, and the imperial court's newspaper was sent to Xichuan for the first time, but what the newspaper said was not good news.

"Marshal, King Su is in danger, Xiao and Liu both attached private messages after the Di newspaper, and I want you to formulate a rule to break the siege."

After reading the newspaper, Lin Shaodong whispered to Xu Rui again.

Xu Rui shook his head and said with a gloomy face: "If the Apocalypse Guard is nearby, maybe he can still make a difference, and if he is so far away, what can I come up with?"

King Su was besieged, and as a close friend, I wanted to go to reinforcements immediately, but reason told me that this catastrophe could only be overcome by himself. ”

Lin Shaodong was stunned and said: "Commander, there are only thousands of men and horses under the command of King Su, and he is facing tens of thousands of Wuling pro-army, in fact, if it weren't for the decisive battle that greatly damaged the vitality of the Wuling pro-army, and we bombed all their return artillery, I'm afraid it would be impossible for King Su to hold until now." ”

Xu Rui said: "I understand what you said, but for the overall situation, the battle of Donglanbao is simply not worth mentioning, and as long as they hold on for five more days, the army of the Southern Dynasties will naturally retreat without a fight." ”

"What?"

Lin Shaodong was surprised: "The army of the Southern Dynasties has already jumped over the wall in a hurry, how can it be possible to retreat without a fight?" ”

"Because they're in a hurry!"

Xu Rui said: "They are in a hurry to return to China, so they will choose the road of Donglan Fort, they are in a hurry to return to China, so they will give up the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and storm Donglan Fort at all costs, and it is also because they are in a hurry to return to China, so it is impossible to delay for a long time under Donglan Fort."

If you think about it, with the involvement of the southeast front, the two marshals Xiao and Liu did not dare to let go of their hands and feet to pursue, which gave them the opportunity to return to China calmly.

However, they didn't know that King Su was in Donglan Castle, and they collided head-on, so that the two marshals had to fight them with all their strength again, which was very similar to their original intention.

In five days at most, the armies of Xiao and Liu will be deployed, and the Wuling army will be completely dragged under the Donglan Fort.

With the wisdom of the commander of the enemy army, it is impossible not to see such a general trend, so I speculate that there are five days at most, and if Donglan Fort cannot be captured again, the Wuling army will be forced to take more difficult mountain roads, even if it costs more lives, it is better than being left in the north. ”

After listening to Xu Rui's explanation, Lin Shaodong suddenly realized, but his face was not much better, and he asked uncertainly: "Having said that, can King Su really hold on for five days?" ”

Xu Rui sighed: "I don't know, no one can save him right now, he can only save himself." ”

Lin Shaodong fell silent, and the two sat opposite each other like this, staring at each other with big eyes.

After a while, the guard gate in the distance gave way to a passage, and An Ge galloped on a fast horse.

As soon as he saw An Ge, Xu Rui suddenly got up, took a few steps, and asked without waiting for An Ge to dismount: "Have you got the news?" ”

An Ge turned over and jumped off the horse, nodded and said, "I got it, something really happened in the Southern Dynasty!" ”

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Rui frowned, but Lin Shaodong jumped up from the stone and asked impatiently: "What happened to the Southern Dynasty?" ”

An Ge glanced at Xu Rui, and when he saw Xu Rui nodding, he said: "Half a month ago, Emperor Longyou of the Southern Dynasty was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of King Wuling, and secretly contacted many generals in the capital of the Southern Dynasty, as well as the civil and military officials who opposed King Wuling to launch a coup d'état.

The coup d'état unexpectedly received the support of Hong Xiao, the confidant of King Wuling and the commander of the Nine Gates of the Southern Dynasty, so it was launched very suddenly, and the remaining generals of King Wuling were taken down in just one hour, and more than 13,000 Wuling henchmen were all killed by Emperor Longyou.

After that, in order to completely eliminate the power of King Wuling, Emperor Longyou held up the butcher's knife for several days, allowing the courtiers to hear about the incident, and the civil and military officials reported each other.

I heard that the capital of the Southern Dynasty was bleeding for several days, and everyone in the civil and military affairs was in danger, and the entire Southern Dynasty fell into chaos! ”

"Is there such a thing?!"

Lin Shaodong was shocked: "Then isn't the emperor afraid that King Wuling will divide his five horses after returning to his master?" ”

An Ge shook his head: "This time Emperor Longyou is fully prepared, the brother of Hong Xiao, the commander of the Nine Gates, another confidant of King Wuling, and Hong Yuan, the deputy marshal of the front army of the Southern Dynasty, also launched a mutiny on the night of the coup d'état, leading his headquarters to raid King Wuling's Chinese army camp.

We have not received exact information about this coup, but it is rumored that King Wuling was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown, and the army on the front line of the Southern Dynasties is in chaos and has already fallen apart. ”

"Really? No wonder the Wuling pro-army was in a hurry to return to China at such a cost, it turned out that their nest was on fire! ”

When Lin Shaodong heard that King Wuling had suffered such a catastrophe, he almost jumped up with joy.

But Xu Rui on the side frowned, as if he was worried about something.

Lin Shaodong glanced at Xu Rui's appearance, and immediately understood that things might not be so simple, so he immediately calmed down and asked, "Dashuai, is there anything strange about this matter?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "Emperor Longyou is less than thirty this year, but he has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and he has probably been lying on his back for ten years to have such a vigorous coup."

The scale and scope of this coup d'état were so large and so wide that even the two important henchmen of King Wuling turned against him, which shows the depth of Emperor Longyou's efforts.

It's just that the deeper the kung fu and the wider the scope, the greater the possibility of exposure, do you think anyone can really plan for ten years under the nose of King Wuling without being discovered at all? ”

"This ......"

Lin Shaodong and An Ge glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but show a contemplative look.

"And ......"

Xu Rui stood up and walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "The previous news is very true, but the most critical mutiny in the army used the word rumor, and this matter is worth scrutinizing."

You have forgotten what I have said, the highest level of lies is nine truths and one falsehood, and all the previous information may be true, but as long as the lie hidden in it is also believed, then King Wuling's conspiracy will succeed. ”

"You're saying that the coup d'état in the army is fake?"

Lin Shaodong asked in disbelief.

"No!"

Xu Rui shook his head: "The coup d'état in the army may be real, but the so-called life and death of King Wuling must be false, either King Wuling is dead, and his subordinates deliberately release false news to confuse the public, or King Wuling intends to use this coup to seek greater benefits!" ”

Lin Shaodong suddenly thought of the Battle of Jingyang two years ago, when King Wuling was fighting thousands of miles away with the army of the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty seemed empty, but when the main force of the Northern Dynasty entered Jingyang, it suddenly descended from the sky.

Since such unthinkable things can happen, if the army of the Northern Dynasty takes this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Southern Dynasty, it is not impossible for King Wuling to come back from the dead!

Perhaps this is the abacus of King Wuling, to solve the two emperors of Longyou and Hongwei in one fell swoop, and completely unify the world!

Thinking of this, Lin Shaodong only felt a chill all over his body, and looked at Xu Rui in a daze.

"Handsome ......"

Xu Rui smiled bitterly and sighed: "All this is my speculation, and the judgment may not be accurate, but now it has indeed reached a turning point in fate, and the future of Great Wei depends on how the Holy Lord decides." ”
