Chapter 15: The Emperor is Captured
Yunjing. After the emperor drove the expedition in person, the matter of acting for the government was handed over to the six Shangshu to decide together.
As soon as the emperor left Beijing, Liu Zhao took his wife into the palace to visit Liu Wan.
Liu Wan was drinking tea and talking with her mother, and her father Liu Zhao on the side only blamed Liu Wan for not being able to hold the emperor's heart and not being able to conceive a dragon son. Liu Wan bowed her head and was silent. How did my father know that Liu Wan had been married into the palace for almost a year, and she was still a virgin.
Mrs. Liu threw a look at Liu Zhao and signaled him not to say any more, so Liu Zhao stopped talking and sat outside the palace.
Coincidentally, Yin Meiren also came to visit the queen, and she saw Liu Zhao from afar, but she turned her head and went back directly.
Liu Zhao also saw Yin Meiren, but he was worried that there were palace maids and eunuchs around him, so he had to pretend not to see it.
Mrs. Liu sat in the palace and stroked her daughter's hand, thinking of her grievances of being thrown into the cold palace, she couldn't help but cry: "My hard-working daughter, why did she enter this tiger and wolf's den!" ”
"Mother", Liu Wan in turn held her mother's hand and comforted: "Mother, don't worry about me, no one in the harem bullies her daughter!" ”
"That willow groaned lightly", Mrs. Liu was shocked that she had said the wrong thing and immediately changed her words, "Yin beauty, she ······"
"She is very good to her daughter, and she was able to clear her grievances last time, thanks to her."
"She's such a good person!" Seeing that her daughter trusted her so much, Mrs. Liu couldn't help complaining, but she suddenly stopped talking, and she couldn't bear to tell her daughter the truth.
Fortunately, Liu Wan didn't hear anything unusual and continued to ask.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, and the sky was getting dark, and it was time to separate.
Liu Wan saw her parents leave, her heart was full of sorrow, and she couldn't lift her spirits, so she went to bed early.
said that Liu Zhao hadn't left the palace yet, and suddenly said that he still had some things to do with the queen's mother, and he broke away from the people around him. Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and went home directly.
Liu Zhao deliberately avoided the palace maid and eunuch and came to a secluded place near the cold palace. It didn't take long for the Ginmi to come here as well.
"Smack!" A very hard slap in the face of the chant.
"Slut! I only told you to go to the solid pet, so that Your Majesty will obey you, when did you make you worry about the country and the people? Liu Zhao lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the ruthlessness.
The beauty covered half of her face with red marks and didn't speak.
Seeing that she was a dead face again, Liu Zhao no longer scolded her, but just warned her not to have a next time, Yin Meiren nodded in fear, and was released back to the palace by Liu Zhao.
Yunjing is not far from Kangju, but the emperor's army still walked for three days, stopping to enjoy the scenery along the way, and looking for some women to accompany him, which delayed a lot of time.
Along the way, there were also generals who persuaded the emperor to arrive at Kangju as soon as possible, but what the emperor thought in his heart was to use his hundreds of thousands of troops to urge Ye Bi'an behind Kangju, he would definitely have to hold on, so that he would not be afraid of his private strength.
When the army arrived, Kangju was about to lose his hold. Danmur attacked the city with an army of 30,000 men, first using trebuchets to continuously throw stones at the city walls, and then using 3,000 archers as cover, while others attacked the walls or opened the city gates.
The city gate was quickly broken, Ye Qiuling led the guards to retreat to the arrow tower behind the city gate, and fired ten thousand arrows at the enemy army who entered through the city gate, although the other party had already prepared, and the rows of soldiers with shields entered in an orderly manner, but it could be regarded as suppressing the enemy's attack.
But Kangju lacked troops after all, so he could only fight and retreat. Just then, the Emperor's defenders came in through the East Gate.
Ubehe saw the army that suddenly rushed out from afar, and immediately ordered a retreat, and for a while, the Dan army was like a bird and beast that had been driven out, retreating in a panic, and the emperor who rushed to support saw this scene and laughed.
At this moment, the emperor saw a man in a brocade robe surrounded among the soldiers in the fleeing camp, and presumably the enemy guard, so he took a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at him, and the man fell to the ground.
The emperor couldn't help but drive away the enemy army, and also shot the enemy general with an arrow, Kangju City was a sound of celebration, and the emperor felt even more happy, so he found many Kangju women to accompany him.
As a result, the joy of the Kangju people was soon replaced by sorrow, and the emperor sang songs day and night, looting the people in the city, causing the people to complain. But he felt that it was very enjoyable, and he played in Kangju for a few days.
A few days later, Danmuro sent a letter of challenge asking that the men who shot the generals be allowed to go out of the city to avenge their generals.
The emperor read the letter and sneered: "Crazy, right? Still want to fight me? It's okay, let's fight, I want to see if they have half of their troops left, and there is no boss, how can they fight me! Pass the order down, and go out of the city tomorrow to face the battle! ”
"Dad, no! This must be a conspiracy, you let me out, I want to explain it to Your Majesty! Ye Qiuling shouted at General Ye outside the prison door.
General Ye only said: "Qiu Ling, my father doesn't want to harm you, and you can't persuade Your Majesty, first wronged you to stay here for a few days, and when Your Majesty returns to Yunjing, I will let you out." ”
It turned out that General Ye had long been aware of the emperor's lewd nature, and Ye Qiuling, like her sister, was born beautiful, delicate and beautiful, and he would not let his daughter have the slightest possibility of being taken away by the emperor if he died, so as soon as the emperor arrived in Kangju, General Ye asked the Netherworld Eighteen to bring Ye Qiuling back directly from the battlefield.
But Ye Qiuling just didn't want to listen to her father, and General Ye had no choice but to put her in a cell. He would rather Qiu Ling die on the battlefield than become the emperor's plaything.
The next day, the army of the Dan and the army of the Xi Kingdom were neatly lined up outside the city of Kangju.
The emperor wanted to laugh when he looked at the loose and crumbling army on the opposite side, and he still wanted to take Kangju like this?
At this time, the general in the middle of the Dan room army spoke, what kind of slash the enemy, captured Kangju, heard that the emperor wanted to vomit, and asked the others around him with a smile: "I remember that my father also went to fight this Dan room when he was young, and at that time, two arrows killed the opponent's left and right wolf guards, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Okay, I only shot one yesterday, and today I will come again, I will see if I can surpass the emperor!"
After that, he immediately ordered an attack. The general of the Dan Room was taken aback by the sudden attack, and swayed from side to side for a while before sitting down, the army of the Xi Kingdom had been killed, and the Dan Room was gradually defeated, and retreated again.
The emperor laughed and led people in pursuit, but General Ye, who was forcibly left on the city wall, noticed that something was wrong. The Dan Room didn't fight much at all, and the retreat was also orderly and deceitful!
"Your Majesty only brought 20,000 people to fight, if there is fraud, Your Majesty will definitely be more auspicious!"
General Ye immediately called the standard-bearer to wave the flag, and the defenders who remained in the city also immediately left the city.
But the emperor seems to have caught up like a rabbit, until he is ambushed by the enemy.
I thought it was a group of poor people, but suddenly, a large number of people and horses surrounded the left and right sides, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and the emperor was so frightened that he roared hard, "Escort!" Escort! ”
It didn't take long for him to be captured alive!
The people who went out of the city to support pursued them relentlessly, but they were entangled by the follow-up Danmur army and could not move forward.
