Chapter 530: Air Squadron
The snow has finally stopped.
Chu Han first sent Qianyu to Tianyu Mountain, and then sent Liuhuo back to the Holy Palace non-stop, and after that, he did not stay, and flashed directly to Huangwu Kingdom.
At the same time, the border pass of Good Neighborliness, located in the northeast corner of Fenglin Country, ushered in a special birdie~~ There are 1,000 giant-winged eagles descending from the sky, followed by 2,000 brave Beicang soldiers!
Their strong, sharp toe claws have a strap tied to their legs, in addition to a lump of leash each. And underneath the belt is a warrior wearing a belt strap. Each eagle transports two people at a time, and two thousand warriors land in the land of Fenglin at a time!
The Good Neighbor Pass is one of the three most famous passes on the northern border of Fenglin, the Guancheng is built with the favorable terrain along with the mountain, although the shape is irregular, but the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, the number of defenders also reaches 14,000 people, and the military defense is quite tight.
However, it is such a high city and dangerous pass, but with the strong assistance of the Flying Eagle Troops, Beicang easily entered the city and broke through!
The defenders of the Good Neighbor Pass were taken by surprise, especially the winged eagles in the sky, which was as black as the clouds and the sun, which really made them panic!
"Don't panic! Archery! β
"Light the beacon!"
"Order the Seven Castles to reinforce!"
One command after another came from the mouth of the Good Neighbor Guard, and she looked up at the powerful and oppressive sky above, forcing herself to compose.
Bows and arrows were raised, and the tips of the arrows were pointing upwards in unison.
However, the leader of the team came with a round of arms, not only did the sharp arrow deviate from the direction, but even the nearest soldier was swept to the ground by the strong air current, rolling several times, and if he was unlucky, his head unfortunately hit the stone, and even if he fainted, he died!
Although there were powerful crossbowmen who shot a few enemy pawns and one or two flying eagles, in this situation, it did not make much difference.
The enemy army landed, the flying eagle attacked, and the city was suddenly overturned on their backs!
After that, the 50,000 soldiers gathered at the border of the North Warehouse on the opposite side were sent by the eagles in batches, and they successfully entered the interior of Fenglin through the Good Neighbor Pass, and attacked Fenglin all the way to Kyoto!
The beacon smoke sent the message, and the urgent report was also delivered later, and the Fenglin court was suddenly in chaos, even the left Cheng Xiaoling and the right minister Mu Danwei were tightly frowning, and their hearts were about to lose their former composure, let alone others.
Dongfang Ling Tian patted the imperial case: "Quickly inform General Guide, and send a letter at the same time from Washi Pass!" β
She paused for a moment, then followed, "Hurry up for a thousand miles!" β
The general of Guide is the Oriental Pearl of King Jing, and he has made meritorious contributions to the suppression of rebellion in the southwest, and has been promoted from General Guide to General Guide.
When the imperial decree was handed down, his eyes swept to the ministers: "What good plan do you have for Aiqing?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it! β
Some of the ministers looked at each other, and some lowered their heads and eyes, not daring to answer. This Beicang highlights the strange tricks in the strange moves, and makes an air army like Flying Eagle, how can the battle be fought? How can a man outperform an eagle? Isn't that no different from sending to death!
"Your Majesty," someone knelt down, "the minister is bold, please ask the emperor to move south and avoid the edge for the time being." β
"Stay out of the edge?" Although Dongfang Ling Tian was dissatisfied, there was no more harshness in his tone, "How to avoid it temporarily?" Will all the people be left behind? We have already lost 51 counties in 6 prefectures, will we lose even Kyoto? If Feng Lin is lost in my hands, in the future, what face will I have to see the emperor's ancestor? β
"The Emperor~~"
"Don't say any more," Dongfang Ling Tian waved his hand, "If any of you want to leave, run for your life, I won't leave!" If they do attack, I will personally supervise and defend the city! β
"But the emperor~~"
"I am a god emperor, not a turtle with a shrunken head! Can you still be afraid of them? β
As soon as these words came out, the minister, who had a different mind just now, immediately froze his body as if he had been struck by lightning, raised his head in unison, and his eyes focused on the person on the high chair, surprised, happy, suspicious, worried, all kinds of mixtures.
Dongfang Ling Tian slowly stood up: "If you want to leave, I, don't force me to stay, give you two hours, and after two hours, close all the city gates; If you are willing to stay and fight with me, live and die together, act immediately! β
Some people hesitated, some people still had the heart of waiting and seeing at this moment, but Mu Danwei knelt on the ground without hesitation: "Minister, Mu Danwei, swear to follow my emperor to the death!" I am willing to work with my emperor to defend Jingshi! One step away, no retreat! β
Dongfang Ling Tian showed a faint smile on his face, Zuo Cheng sighed in his heart, and then knelt down with two old legs: "Minister, Xiao Ling, I am willing to follow my emperor, use this remnant body, defend Kyoto, and make a modest contribution to the emperor and the people!" β
After that, the sound of kneeling and taking the oath came from the crowd one after another.
"Weichen Cao Xuxin, willing to follow my emperor......"
"Weichen Xiaozi, willing to follow my emperor's ......"
"Weichen Lin Daiyu, willing to follow my emperor......"
"Weichen Cheng Jinghu, willing to follow my emperor......"
"Don't be greedy for ......"
"Weichen Mulan Xin ......"
"Wechen Lu Tianming......"
Dongfang Ling Tian's face was full of relief: "Okay!" Good! The emperor and the ministers are of one heart, I don't believe that I can't fight back the enemy army! If we can coexist this time, all of them will be added to the rank and share the glory of the country! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xian Wang's Mansion.
Dongfang Hui sat on the warm couch, holding the black jade chess in her hand, and said while falling: "The Xizhen Army is here, and the Beicang Army is also here, now, see how our God of War responds, even if she has three heads and six arms, she is also lacking in skills, right?" β
The woman on the other side of the chessboard, holding Bai Zi's hand, paused in the air: "But Your Highness, so...... If the country is gone......"
Dongfang Hui snorted: "What are you afraid of?" Regardless of whether the throne is contested or not, as long as it is recognized by God, she is the daughter of heaven. Since the mother emperor was recognized by God and sat in that position, and she did not exercise any tyranny and mistreat the people for so many years, this country will not change hands easily. β
She glanced at the other party, "On the mother queen's side, there is no need to worry, the emperor of a country has his own decision." What we should think about is how to use this great opportunity to make the aura of the god of war disappear, completely extinguish her prestige in the hearts of the people, and make the future of this temple barrier-free! β
"But......" the woman hesitated, "after the emperor discovered the matter of doing things on the grain and grass, he has banned your feet, and now, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to move again, otherwise, if the emperor knows, the punishment will not be so light." β
"Hmph," Dongfang Hui chuckled, "Don't worry, the mother queen is reluctant to be punished." The last time the rebellion was not successful, the mother emperor was just a warning, at that time the palace was indeed a little panicked, for fear of causing trouble again and being heavily punished, but now you have seen it with your own eyes, even if the mother emperor knows that the palace is in the way, almost so that the grain and grass can not be transported to the border in time, it is only a private punishment and grounding, and none of the ministers know. β
"His Royal Highness's position in the emperor's heart is indeed extraordinary," the woman nodded with her pride, "Then what does Your Highness plan to do?" β
"How to do it...... Dongfang Hui frowned: "The damn thing is that Zuo Cheng and Zuo Cheng do not express their position on the candidate for the crown prince, but the palace does not know how to use it, in case it is the people who will support the palace in the future that are killed by the way, it is a loss, but if you want to bring down King Jing, you must have someone to accompany you to sacrifice......"
She stared at the chessboard, rubbing the chess pieces with her fingertips: "Mu Danwei is the most loyal dog in front of the mother, she does what the mother says, and never goes against the will of the mother; And Xiao Ling ...... The tree has deep roots and seems to be the most reliable, but the more easily people can't move, once one day ...... It must be uprooted...... If so, then who will be Zuo Cheng's successor? β
The woman said, "It can't be her protΓ©gΓ© or close associates." β
"That's right," Dongfang Hui nodded slightly, "The mother queen acts vigorously and resolutely, and will definitely wipe out all the people involved, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and avoid all hidden disasters." But half of the Manchu officials were from Xiaoling, and there were many local officials...... Domino effect...... It takes time to move her, and this palace knows the character of the mother queen, but it doesn't know when the best time will come, and I don't know who will take over......"
"Timing, sometimes it also needs to be artificially created or assisted; And the successor ...... "the woman raised her eyes," why doesn't His Highness cultivate it himself? β
Dongfang Hui looked at each other, and after a moment, he smiled: "Okay!" Good idea! So, do you have the right person to recommend? β
The woman shook her head and smiled lightly: "Your Highness's wisdom, no one can match, obedient and stupid, you can be misloved by Your Highness, and come up with some inconspicuous little ideas for Your Highness, I am already complacent and feel very lucky, I really can't help much, I am afraid that His Highness will worry about the matter of selection." If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, whoever Your Highness chooses, as long as you inform Shunzhi, Shunzhi will immediately go to do some rough errands for Your Highness! β
Dongfang Hui stared at her for a moment before laughing: "You......" She shook her head, with a smile on her face, "Although there are assassins from the Blood Prison Palace as a lesson from the past, this hall is indeed very annoyed, and no longer trusts anyone easily, but you are different, you ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and waved her hand: "That's it, say it, I'm afraid you won't believe it, and this hall doesn't need you to believe it verbally, this palace can talk to you about this matter secretly, and then hand over this matter to you with full authority, which will naturally explain everything." β
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" The woman hurriedly got up and bowed down, "Death for a confidant!" Shun Zhi is willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and he will not hesitate! β
Dongfang Hui stretched out his hand to help: "If the plan is successful, there will be a place for you in the future hall!" β
"Your Highness! His Royal Highness is a phoenix among people, and he will be able to fly like a phoenix in the future! The woman patted her ass and immediately talked about business, "Then, King Jing's side ......"
"Beicang tamed the flying eagle, and even the Good Neighbor Pass was breached, the Oriental Pearl will definitely not defend Bei'an City anymore, and the Beizhou City Pass behind her is also meaningless to defend it, so her next move should be to lead the army to rush back to Beijing......"
Dongfang Hui turned around and sat down slowly, picked up a black chess piece, stared at the chessboard, "ambush on the road with a fresh face......
"Smack" fell a son: "Interception!" β
The woman's gaze shifted from the chess game to Dongfang Hui's gentle but implicit angry face, and she wanted to speak but stopped......
At the same time, the True Moon Sect of Huangwu Kingdom hurried day and night, leading more and more "rebels" on the way to Kyoto, Yuan Hongyu also ignored the cold, marched day and night in the snow, and returned to Beijing as quickly as possible to "quell the rebellion".
However, when she saw that she was only one day away from Kyoto, a holy decree suddenly came from the palace, ordering her to immediately turn around and continue to attack Fenglin, otherwise she would be punished for the two crimes of "returning to Beijing without permission" and "disobeying the decree", and she would be sentenced to death!
