Chapter 565: The Embarrassing Su Shaoge (I)
Originally, according to Su Shaoge's plan, after going to the token of Jiangnan Hall's secret guard "Suifeng" with Song Yixiao, he directly erased Song Yixiao's process of collecting the token twice, and nailed Gu Shao to the mastermind of "Suifeng".
The people who sent the Su family to infiltrate "Suifeng" in the early years - in fact, they are not necessarily the people in "Suifeng", anyway, no one knows anyone except the inside, and the people killed by "Dai Feng" are recorded in the "Suifeng" account.
Anyway, when Yang Jue led his troops into the palace, the heads thrown in front of He Wenqiong were all killed by "Gu Shao's secret guards of the Song family".
In addition to dragging Gu Shao into the water and forcing him to help stabilize the situation and people's hearts afterwards, this is naturally also to create the illusion of "You see, Gu Xiang has actually changed his mind and chose King Su" - so those who only look forward to Gu Shao will naturally fall to the Su family.
In this way, the resistance to King Su's accession to the throne will naturally be much smaller.
And although Gu Shao is unwilling to give up his student prince, if Wei Xi does not escape and leaves a glimmer of hope for the Wei family to turn around, he will have to face the liquidation of the Hongzhou Gu family after King Su ascends the throne!
Because if the Wei family is completely defeated by the Su family, even though Gu Shao has a high reputation, he will not be able to return to heaven - he himself may not be afraid of death, but he can't help but consider that after his death, the Su family will put a bunch of charges on him, and even the Hongzhou Gu family will laugh at it.
It was only last night that Su Shaoge asked people to enter the edict with the token given by Song Yixiao, and then put it in front of Gu Shao, without saying much, Gu Shao compromised.
But when it was almost dawn, the remaining shadows of the Wei family were stunned to convey the news of Wei Xi's escape to Gu Shao!
After Gu Shao knew that the Wei family still had a glimmer of life, he regretted it without saying a word - it was okay, after the Su family succeeded in seizing the palace, he immediately released Gu Shao from prison, and he came forward to appease the court and recognize King Su's status as the new monarch.
Now like this, where does Su Shaoge dare to let him out?
Gu Shao didn't come forward, those who heard Yang Jue hold up the heads of his colleagues last night and declare "on the orders of Gu Xiang", how could they not guess that something was wrong with the Su family's actions?
"It's only been a few hours." Jian thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the news of Wei Xi's escape has spread among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”
"Exactly." Su Shaoge sighed, although the Su family has been preparing for decades more than the Wei family, but the Wei family is also the queen of the six valves, and the background cannot be underestimated.
Last night's armed seizure of the palace was launched in a hurry, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes - Wei Xi was not a fuel-efficient lamp, not only did he escape by himself, but he also left an order before leaving to spread the news as soon as possible!
In this way, the Su family was busy killing people and setting fires everywhere, and when this scene was discovered, even if the imperial capital was under the control of the Su family, those who did not want King Su to ascend the throne almost received the news.
And since they know that the Su family may not be able to have the last laugh if they take the imperial capital, how can they not have hope? In this case, how could they agree to King Su's accession to the throne? There is a way that is difficult to commit in public anger, even if the Su family is in power now, it is not easy to poison them, and it has become a difficult trend to ride a tiger!
Jian Xubai thought for a moment, and was about to speak, when someone from outside suddenly hurriedly entered, and said with a solemn expression: "Hou Ye, Second Prince Su, there is an urgent report from the door, the Tao is that there is a forbidden army outside the four gates of the imperial capital, depending on the situation, the person who comes is not good!" ”
When Su Shaoge heard this, he glanced at Jian Xubai and asked, "What do they say?" ”
"The Tao is to support orthodoxy and eradicate ......" The man stopped talking here, glanced at Su Shaoge and didn't continue-but guessed that these forbidden troops outside the city who were persuaded by Wei Xi must be the Su family.
"In terms of fame, even if the King of Shu comes, he doesn't have much reason." Jian Xubai saw that Su Shaoge had no intention of leaving immediately, and knew that he must have an arrangement, and there was no need to rush to the city to supervise the battle immediately, so after waving off the subordinates who reported the news, he said, "After all, the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's aunt are both elders of the king of Shu, and this tongue lawsuit is like that." Now the biggest problem is to defend the city, as long as you survive this pass, His Royal Highness King Su will reign in the world as a matter of course. ”
Su Shaoge looked at him: "But this level is also the most difficult: to be honest, last night I received the news of Weixi's escape, so I ordered people to seal the treasury everywhere and prepare to defend the city!" But Da Rui has been doing it for a long time, and he was defenseless before, and now the equipment, arrows, and rolling logs that can be used to defend the city in the city can be said to be very rare! We also have a shortage of manpower, and the most important thing is that the imperial capital is vast, and the already small manpower is distributed to the four city walls, which is even more sparse......"
He was silent for a moment and continued, "What's more, you also know that not everyone in this imperial capital, whether it is Li Shu or civil and military officials, is one of us!" ”
Although the Wei family suffered a devastating blow last night, their affiliated forces, as well as those who opposed King Su's accession to the throne, have so far been blocked in their own mansions.
Who of these eunuchs hasn't raised a few nurses?
Now that he is intimidated by the forbidden army in the city, he doesn't dare to act, and when the real fight starts, he will get a group of people to stab knives in the back, and the lethality will not be small!
Originally, Su Shaoge did not have many forbidden troops in his hands now, and then he had to defend the city and guard against the plots in the city, and the danger of the situation can be imagined!
It's no wonder that he came to borrow someone from Jian Xubai.
"It's impossible for the guards I brought back from Wuhuan to give it to you." But Jian Xubai pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Say something unpleasant: even if the emperor really can't hold it, he has manpower, so he can protect his family and abandon the city - you should know that our couple is now raising three children under their knees, and my wife is still pregnant, and they can't do without people's care." So there's no way I'm going to give you any manpower! ”
After a pause, he said, "I can only try to promote the accession of King Su to the throne, and with the name of righteousness, I can call on all parts of the country to come to the imperial capital King Qin." In this way, even if the imperial capital is lost before the reinforcements arrive, as long as we can break through, it will be done! ”
Su Shaoge's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said: "I want to tell you one thing: among the forbidden army generals outside the city, among the forbidden army generals who are loyal to He Wenqiong, there is one person who is extremely good at using soldiers!" The reason why I learned that Wei Xi had escaped from the city last night, but I didn't dare to send many people to chase after me, was because I was afraid of being detected by this person, so I led my troops to kill the imperial capital overnight! ”
If only Wei Xi fled to the forbidden army camp outside the city, after all, Wei Xi was not He Wenqiong, and he would never believe his one-sided words, and would not rashly send a large army to the imperial capital.
Otherwise, if Wei Xi deliberately acted and intended to kill the Su family with the help of the forbidden army, wouldn't they be used as knives and then used as scapegoats? !
But if Su Shaoge sent people to chase all the way to the vicinity of the big camp outside the city, and was tongued out and asked what was happening in the city, then it would be natural for them to send troops!
But even so, the camp is close to the imperial capital, and there was a lot of movement in the city last night, so the army is still coming.
"You are the son of the Su clan in Qingzhou!" Hearing this, Jian Xubai looked at Su Shaoge a little strangely, and said, "That person is good at using soldiers, can he still beat you?" ”
Qingzhou Su, like Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu, is the general's family.
It is not surprising that such a person can talk about the art of war when he pulls a small guy out.
Su Shaoge, as the second son of Fufeng Tang, and the most eye-catching and active son of the Su family's "young" generation, actually said that he was afraid of a forbidden general's talent in using soldiers?
"I'm not as good as I." Su Shaoge said calmly, "Otherwise, why are you so worried? Although the Su family started with martial arts, it doesn't mean that all the children are good at battlefield things - let me tell you the truth, when it comes to using soldiers, my eldest brother is better than me, but he is now far away in Qingzhou, and it is difficult to quench his thirst in the distant water! And I, reading exams, court strategies, and intrigues, are all quite peaceful, but this is the only soldier...... In the words of my father, if I don't rely on Zuyin, in terms of strength, I will be a captain at most in this life! ”
Speaking of this, he also simply said a few more words, which can be regarded as easing the relationship with Yanhou Mansion, "Otherwise, you think that my family in my generation has decided to let my eldest brother stay in Qingzhou, why did you let me take the road of Congwen?" The foundation of my Su family is in the army! ”
"It's really not good for my army's talent, my father taught and taught my eldest brother, and finally found that it was okay to expect me to suppress the arrogant generals, but to expect me to lead them to be invincible is simply a fantasy!"
"So I think it's better not to waste Chenguang, let me directly participate in the imperial examination and enter the court!"
Looking at Jian Xu's suspicious expression, he curled his palms into fists, coughed to his lips, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "If you've heard of me before...... Don't take it too seriously! ”
The implication: It was all the result of the family's momentum, not the truth.
Well, the Wei family ancestor is prosperous, but no one is the champion, right?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Su Shaoge has no confidence in commanding and defending the city.
Jian Xubai held back the speechlessness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Even if you can't do it, your Su family has been operating in the army for many years, don't you tell me that you can't find such a talent left and right?" ”
Su Shaoge also looked at him speechlessly: "Do you think talents are so easy to find?" Those with such talent have either been sent to the army to sharpen themselves a long time ago, or they are hidden in Qingzhou for later use! I'm not an immortal who can pinch and calculate, I expect that I need to defend the city today, and I will leave such a person by my side - I can command the forbidden army in my hand now: Yang Jue! ”
Without waiting for Jian to ask, he continued, "Yang Jue is not that person's opponent. ”
"I know what you really mean!" Jian Xubai rubbed the corners of his forehead, "Are you here for Uncle Lu?" ”
