Chapter 409: Hundred States in the City

Since the siege of the Mobei tribes, the court of the Great Wei has become more and more silent, and the ministers who had quarreled in the past have closed their mouths at this time, because they know how to win benefits for their own forces through quarrels, but they don't know how to make the hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding the capital retreat.

But the army of the northern captives will not automatically retreat because of their silence, the way to discuss is still to be discussed, under the anxious urging of the queen mother, the civil and military officials began to discuss various methods, send envoys to contact the northern captives outside the city, to see if there is any hope of peace, and order the world to rush to the capital to King Qin, or...... See if there is a way to escape from the siege of the army.

The 200,000-strong army had been besieging the city for a month, and they had never discussed what the results were, but seeing that the northern captives had no intention of attacking the city immediately, they hurriedly ordered the defenders at the head of the city not to take the initiative to provoke, and even killed a soldier who accidentally touched the mechanism and launched a trebuchet, and spread his head throughout the four walls of the capital to warn the soldiers.

However, their behavior not only did not make the Beiyu retreat satisfactorily, but instead angered the scholars in the capital, and the many injustices in the previous meeting had already caused the scholars to accumulate monstrous anger, and now they have made such a humiliating act, not only these scholars, but even the people in the capital are angry with this order of the Taiwei Mansion and the military department.

Under the excitement of the crowd, the scholars and people in Beijing flocked to the Danfeng Gate again, sounded the Dengwen drum, and demanded that Yuan Rukui and Wang Jihe be severely punished; Previously, they ignored the threat of the northern captives and did not do a good job of defense, causing the northern captives army to enter the capital directly, but now that the catastrophe is coming, they do not organize the forbidden army in the capital to defend the city, but instead order the soldiers not to take the initiative to attack, is this to give the capital away? Thinking of the terrible fate they would encounter after the northern captives entered Beijing, these people hated Yuan Rukui and others to the core, and joined the team outside the Danfeng Gate one after another.

In order to protect their own safety, the ministers have divided the boundaries with Yuan Rukui and Wang Jihe, and the courtiers who had grievances with them before fell into the ground, sending a letter of impeachment and accusations, and they were charged with one crime after another.

Finally, three days after the people surrounded Danfengmen, the queen mother couldn't bear the pressure and abandoned the two of them, and escorted them out of the noon gate on the grounds of being deaf and misleading the country, and at the same time restored the fame of Chen Shaoyang and others and rewarded them; At this point, the minds of the people in Beijing were a little calmer, but Dawei still did not find a way to withdraw the troops.

As a last resort, Yang Jiefu put forward two countermeasures, first let Qiu Shangjian temporarily take charge of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, command the forbidden army in Beijing, and organize defense matters, but now he can't care about the grievances with the nobles, and only a few people such as Qiu Shangjian still have the experience of leading troops to fight in the capital, and it is better to hand over the forbidden army to him than to others, plus the Chinese military officials of the DPRK are now avoiding this position, for fear of falling on their heads, so this resolution was quickly passed.

In addition, they quietly sent envoys to test the true intentions of the northern captives, to see if they could think of a good way to withdraw the army, in their opinion, there are many things that have happened to the northern captives, as long as they have grabbed enough things, they will take the initiative to retreat, maybe they take the initiative to send silver, and then bribe the dignitaries in the northern captives, maybe they can achieve the goal of withdrawing the army without a fight.

At this very moment, Lu Chengqing and others also put away their careful thoughts, and expressed their support for Yang Jiefu's opinion, so a eloquent envoy was sent out, carrying the holy decree of the Great Wei Emperor from the city wall outside the city, and hurried to the outside of the camp in the north.

Yuan Zhang was not the slightest surprised when he got the news, and with his knowledge of the hundred officials in Beijing, it was not at all strange that they would do these things; But he did not directly receive the messenger, but hung him aside, and until today, he estimated that the envoy's sharp energy had been almost consumed before he ordered someone to bring him over.

"Xiaguan Honglu Temple Qing Chen Jing'an has seen the Great Khan and the National Teacher." Chen Jing'an, who has just taken over the Honglu Temple, deeply feels that the current Honglu Temple is really not a good place, the previous Honglu Temple Secretary Cui Kezhuo was convicted for offering the golden pill, and now he has been sent to this errand again, it is conceivable that this trip will not end well whether it is successful or not, if it does not happen, needless to say, even if it becomes those gentlemen in the court after the Beiyu retreats, I am afraid that they should blame themselves for betraying the country.

"Honglu Temple? When I left the capital that day, Honglu Siqing was still Cui Kezhuo, but I didn't expect to be replaced so soon. Yuan Zhang sneered, seeing this former high-ranking official so groveling, his mood was inexplicably happy.

"In recent years, the government of the Great Wei Dynasty has been turbulent, not only Cui Kezhuo, but even Mr. Huaiye, a friend of the lower officials, resigned and returned to his hometown." Chen Jing'an bluntly reversed the topic, revealing his relationship with the former Guozi Priest Wine King Weizhen, hoping that Yuan Zhang could save his life in his face.

"How is Mr. Huaino doing?" When Yuan Zhang heard this name, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, Wang Weizhen took care of himself when he was in the capital in the past, I don't know what he would think now when he saw that he led a large army to besiege the capital?

"When Mr. Huaiye left Beijing, his health was not as good as before, and the imperial doctor once said that he must not have great sorrow and joy, otherwise he will definitely encounter accidents." Chen Jing'an secretly looked at the expression on Yuan Zhang's face while answering, and seeing that there was a trace of concern in his eyes, Chen Jing'an pleaded in a timely manner, "I also hope that the National Teacher will stop the army as soon as possible for the sake of Mr. Huaiye's face, so as not to make Mr. Huaiye feel sad due to the fall of the capital." ”

Yuan Zhang was silent for a long time when he heard this, if Wang Weizhen died because of his own reasons, this is what he doesn't want to see, but now that 200,000 troops are gathered in the capital, how can this little reason make the army retreat? Wang Weizhen's kindness must be repaid, but can Arubu's kindness be ignored? Can the great revenge of the teacher not be avenged?

Or wait for Arub to give the Wang family a good home after unifying the world in the future, Yuan Zhang put the matter aside and began to talk to Chen Jing'an about the conditions, "200,000 troops, how can Your Excellency retreat with a word?" ”

If you want to withdraw from the army, it is not impossible to talk about it, it depends on what conditions you can come up with, Chen Jing'an heard the meaning of Yuan Zhang's words, seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the Great Khan and the National Teacher what they need, but Da Wei will never refuse."
