Chapter 108: Bad News in the Palace
The army waited for supplies from the surrounding counties, and did not wait for good news.
"The military supplies that the surrounding counties can support are very limited, and they cannot supply the needs of the soldiers. The food that came in didn't last long. Ban Fei worried.
Ning Zeqing was silent for a long time, but he scared Ban Fei.
"General?" Ban Fei asked softly.
Ning Zeqing replied to him: "Go to the prince, if you can't raise enough military funds, ask the capital for help." ”
This is the last resort.
Hindu is 108,000 miles away, and it takes a lot of time for reinforcements to arrive here. How to support it during this period of time is what Ning Zeqing needs to consider.
Although the former Wanli was also damaged, there were still weapons and food left.
How to continue to fight against a group of people with weapons and insufficient physical strength on this side of the sub-attack with well-armed and physically strong people is a complete test for Ning Zeqing or the Mifeng Army.
After Shi Shu's letter was sent away, the Zi Raid Army waited for the news while resisting to the death with the former Wanli, which was extremely difficult, and no matter who was in the army, they were exhausted by the full resistance day by day.
Shi Shu was looking forward to receiving a reply from the palace every day, maybe the reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, but he didn't know that what he was waiting for was the news that shattered his hope.
"Your Highness, news from the palace, Your Majesty he ...... He succumbed. The people who came trembled and didn't even dare to say it directly, "It is rumored in the palace that it was the uncle who plotted for the throne and killed His Majesty." Now, it is also the uncle who manages the affairs of the court, but he only talks about the palace all day long, and does not let people get close to His Majesty's body at all. According to this sentence, I am afraid that this reinforcement will be ......"
I'm afraid there is no hope.
After Shi Shu heard this, he didn't know how to react for a while.
Is it doubtful and sad about the sudden death of his father, or is he angry and angry about the wolf ambition revealed by his uncle, or is he worried about his current way out, whether he is dead or alive?
"What about Auntie? My aunt is also in the palace, where is she? Shi Shu asked anxiously.
"The princess is also in the palace, and has never come out, I don't know why. I heard that there was a dispute between the uncle and the princess before, and some people rumored it...... It is rumored that the uncle will be the princess...... also murdered. ”
Ning Zeqing immediately made a decision, and asked Shi Shu to make a conclusion: "Your Highness, the top priority now is to decide on the current action. It is an indisputable matter for the uncle to plot rebellion, and the Mifeng army is willing to follow His Highness, whether it is to continue the rebellion of Wanli in front of the peace, or to gather other armies to snatch back the throne that has been taken away. ”
Ning Zeqing opened the question that Shi Shu was unwilling to face.
He and his uncle are now in the same situation, and they no longer have the same friendship as before, and complete opposites will lead to the complete defeat of one side.
And the loser in the battle for the throne has only one ending.
I thought that my family would be different, and I would definitely not be involved in these powers and ambitions, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape this fate.
"Continue to attack Qianwanli." Shi Shu decided.
This was not a very good decision, but Ning Zeqing still accepted it.
The prince's order cannot be disobeyed, even if he is just evading.
But the current situation is still not good.
When some courtiers heard that their uncle was in charge of affairs in the court, they deliberately curry favor with him, completely ignoring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is still fighting the enemy outside.
And Shi Shu sent letters everywhere asking for help, but there was no reply.
The crown prince is just a false name, and he is outside the court, while the uncle has a heavy army and has already held the capital. Think about it and know who you will support.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it has always been so cruel.
After Wan Li heard about this, his morale was high, and he repeatedly harassed him but did not take it seriously, he just came and left, and never stopped more.
In this way, Zi Raid is bothered and laborious, but he still has to guard against the possibility that he may really come to fight at any time, and he must not relax for a moment, which is even more tiring than fighting directly.
Over time, there was also gossip in the army, because of this, there were some complaints about the crown prince Shishu.
"How long will we hold out like this, there are no weapons and weapons, no food and no food. Former Wan Li was still beating drums on the opposite side every day, and he didn't know if he was really going to fight, so we all had to fight with the spirits. What kind of army can this be? ”
The other person was a little disdainful and said, "You still think about this, it's good to be able to save your life." Now we are not human inside and out, Zi Xun does not recognize this prince, and Qianwan Li regards us as enemies, even if we win, what can we do, can we go back? ”
The other looked depressed and very depressed: "My wife is still at home waiting for me to go back." ”
Another person looked indignant: "If General Ning could see the situation clearly, we wouldn't have fallen to such a point." ”
"General Ning has been with the prince for many years, how can he abandon the prince at a critical moment?"
He retorted, "Then it depends on the situation!" So for now. ”
The others hurriedly pestled him and winked at him.
Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing and their entourage were walking towards this side, and when they saw the soldiers coming over, they stopped talking and looked abnormal.
Seeing their expressions, Shi Shu could naturally feel strange, but he didn't know what his identity should be now, and what he was going to use to gag their mouths.
"What are you guys muttering!" Qu Mingli was dissatisfied, "At such an urgent juncture, if you spread some words that affect the morale of the army, don't blame me for using military law to serve you." ”
Ning Zeqing's face was also cold: "Don't say much." ”
These people were scolded, and they didn't dare to chew their tongues anymore, but the dissatisfaction in their eyes did not converge.
But Shi Shu's mentality was affected after all.
He stayed in the tent all day long, didn't go out with anything, Ning Zeqing came to ask him about something, he was absent-minded, only muttered "How can this be, how can this be", and the others didn't listen much.
Shi Shu has received a benevolent sage education since he was a child, and the environment in the country is also very appreciative of his virtuous brightness, so he feels that there is evil in heaven and earth, but there will be no great evil, such as the battle for the throne experienced today, which he never thought would appear, let alone his uncle who loved him since he was a child, respected his father and king, and was kind to everyone.
Why do people become like this?
He didn't know.
How evil can a person really be?
He didn't know either.
His mind was in turmoil, and the subversion of a person's behavior was tantamount to a subversion of his concept.
Ning Zeqing persuaded him: "Now there is no time to entangle people's fickleness, and if you don't find a proper way to solve the dilemma in front of you, there is really no way out." ”
Shi Shu barely cheered up and listened to him, but he couldn't turn in his head.
Morale in the army was low, and no one knew what to do next.
Qu Ming was also very troubled when he saw it, no matter what the situation in the DPRK and China was, he must be on Shi Shu's side, but he couldn't persuade the prince, so he could only try his best to find a position that could break through, bury himself in studying military theory and local forms, and want to solve the current dilemma.
And the differences between him and Ning Zeqing began to widen.
