Chapter 66: The Death of the Prince
Not long after King Ning and Yao Qiong got married, an urgent battle report came from the border pass.
It turned out that Du Xin and Yongdong, with the help of the power of Jing State, relied on Dingnan Mansion to raise troops to Huaiyou Mansion next to Dingnan Mansion, intending to seize Huaiyou Mansion and expand their sphere of influence.
In fact, even if Du Xin and Yongdong did not have troops, Mu Jun and Li Spring were ready to send troops to attack them. Keeping the two of them to occupy Dingnan Mansion in the south is a scourge after all. It's just that the state of Mu has just been established, and the people have experienced another year of war, so it is more appropriate to let them recuperate for a while, so they did not bother to clean up Du Xin and Yongdong for the time being.
Now, since two people have taken the initiative to provoke incidents, it is even more intolerable.
The crown prince Li Yu took the initiative to invite Ying to lead his troops to the expedition to exterminate Du Xin and Yongdong.
Li Gong sat on the dragon chair and looked at the eldest son of Yushu Linfeng, who was heroic and cool, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. Today's Mu State is no longer the time when he raised troops from Jiyan City, and there were only dozens of generals under his command at that time, and there were only a handful of generals who could be called generals.
Now, the court of the Mu State is full of talents, the generals are like wolves and tigers, and everyone is gearing up, how can they still use the prince to go on the expedition?
Thinking of this, Li Gong coughed lightly and said: "Yu'er, you should follow the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China and learn the way of governing the country well, it is not appropriate to fight in the territory again, step aside, and listen to the generals, there is a good way to deal with it." ”
Li Yu was a young man who was strong-blooded, brave and aggressive, and when he heard this, he was not convinced, but he did not dare to disobey, so he had to retreat aside.
Qin Ao walked out of the court, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the micro-ministers eat the king's luck, and are willing to serve Your Majesty." Thinking that Du Xin and Yongdong are both defeated subordinates of our dynasty, and they finally escaped with their lives, they should tremble and wait for me to ask the master for their crimes! Now that he dares to take the initiative to raise troops against our DPRK, it is purely self-defeating. Weichen asked His Majesty for a group of people, and he will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves and help me to help the country of Mu! ”
Li Gong hurriedly said: "General Qin is loyal, which is commendable!" It's just that he leads the troops to the battle, and he must not underestimate the enemy, but Yongdong is not worried, but Du Xin is quite capable, and he must be more vigilant! ”
Qin Ao hurriedly agreed.
Li Gong passed down the holy decree, and Qin Ao had 50,000 elite soldiers and 50 generals, and set out to conquer Dingnanfu three days later. Qin Ao received the holy decree, went back to select men and horses, led the army three days later, and went straight to Dingnan Mansion.
Who knew that not long after, there was a battle report that Qin Ao was ambushed by Du Xin and was killed, and the group had to retreat to Huaiyou Mansion and not come out of the wall.
Li Gong had no choice but to gather his ministers again to discuss who to send to the expedition.
Li Yu, the prince of strong blood, once again took the initiative to ask for help. In front of the ministers, Li Yun couldn't refuse again, hesitated for a long time, had to agree, and Li Yu had 100,000 elite soldiers and 100 generals, and carefully told him to be cautious and careful, never underestimate the enemy, and personally sent him to the expedition.
Speaking of Du Xin, he rested in Dingnan Mansion for a year, and relied on the support of Jing State, and also hoarded some soldiers, horses, grain and grass in his hands, because he remembered that Li Gong destroyed Xu Guo with his own strength, sat on the dragon throne, and he was also brave and good at fighting, why can't he be like this? Xu Jun back then, wasn't he also a military general, and he fought hard to get out of the country? The rivers and mountains take turns to sit, can't my Du family sit?
After thinking about it, he planned with Yongdong. Yongdong knew that his ability was far inferior to Du Xin, so he softened in casual clothes, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister, if you have such ambition, it is naturally better." This Dingnan Mansion will be all decided by my sister-in-law in the future, but in the future, my sister-in-law will sit in the Dragon Court, don't treat my sister badly, I don't have any more requirements. ”
Du Xin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother, don't worry, although I have several concubines, only Ling Mei gave birth to a son for me, if I don't protect their mother and son, who else can I protect?" ”
Yongdong looked at Du Bao, who was holding a brush next to him and painted his face as a cat, and said secretly in his heart: "This is not bad, as long as my nephew becomes Longting in the future, he is an idiot, and I have the final say?" ”
The two of them had already made up their minds, so they picked up the men and horses and went straight to Huaiyou Mansion to kill.
Qin Ao's defeat made Du Xin and Yongdong even more confident, it seems that this general of Mu Guo is nothing more than that! Du Xin showed even more pride, back then in Anshun Mansion, if it weren't for the two scum of Xing Xian and Yu Shi, who took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked me, how could I be captured alive?
In the past few days, they have stepped up their attacks on Huaiyoufu.
Suddenly, another scout came to report, saying that Mu sent the crown prince Li Yu to meet the battle, and brought 100,000 elite soldiers and 100 fierce generals. Dusin frowned, and a poisonous plan came to his mind.
So, Du Xin discussed with Yongdong again, and said: "Brother, I didn't expect this Li Gong to send the prince here, as long as we can kill the prince, think about it, how much will Li Spring be hit?" The generals of the country of Mu will inevitably panic, let's just take the opportunity to enter the army, and we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Yongdong nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is that since he is the prince, it is inevitable that there will be a large group of guards around him, and under normal circumstances, it will not be his turn to go out in person, how can we kill him?" ”
Du Xin smiled sinisterly and said: "Brother, you don't know, this Li Yu, we fought when we were in Anshun Mansion, the most impatient, since he is here, he will not hide in the city, he will definitely start a war with us, let's choose some superb archers, only aim at Li Yu to shoot arrows, and apply poison to their arrows, as long as an arrow hits him, he will be in danger!" ”
"Hahahaha......" Yongdong laughed proudly: "Sister-in-law, there is really you." I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll definitely select the best archers in our army for you to use!" ”
Sure enough, the day after Li Yu arrived at Huaiyou Mansion, he set up a position outside the city to fight against Du Xin.
Li Yu was wearing a primrose-colored robe, a red tasseled silver helmet, a bronze heart guard on his chest, a spear in his hand, and a sturdy white horse in his crotch, standing in front of the Mu army, looking up at the opposite side, only to see that the opposite side was also neatly arrayed, waving flags, and couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "No wonder before leaving, my father repeatedly told me not to take it lightly. ”
While thinking about it, Li Yu was about to send people to fight, when he suddenly heard a drum on the opposite side, and the soldiers scolded in unison: "Li Xuan, old man, plot to usurp the throne, a thousand knives, and die innocently!" ”
When Li Yu heard someone scolding his father, he immediately became angry, and Tima rushed forward, and scolded in his mouth: "Old thief Dusin, you come out and fight with your prince for three hundred rounds, you can only scold people, what kind of ability!" The generals on the side of Mu Guo hurriedly wanted to stop them, but it was too late, and Li Yu's horse had already rushed to the front of the battle.
At the same time, thousands of arrows in Dusin's array were fired straight towards Li Yu. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Ao hurriedly led someone to chase after him, and helped Li Yu dial the carving arrow, but it was too late, and more than a dozen arrows had already hit Li Yu.
I only heard Li Yu scream, the silver spear in his hand fell to the ground, his body shook, and he was planted from the horse.
