Chapter 231: Breakout
After doing all this, Emperor Yongsheng looked at Zhu Linxi and said, "I still have to rely on you to help break through." ”
The other side now has 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, and all the people on their side together are only more than 10,000 people. This is definitely not going to work with the other party.
Zhu Linxi originally thought that Emperor Yongsheng would call the secret power to save him first, but he didn't expect that at this time, he thought of saving Yongdu and the prince.
This point also had to be another Zhu Linxi to take a look at Emperor Yongsheng.
In fact, this is the most critical step to save Dayong.
To put it mildly, even if Emperor Yongsheng is dead, as long as Yongdu can be saved, and the prince is there, the prince can be enthroned as the emperor immediately.
If Emperor Yongsheng called everyone over to protect himself, then once Yongdu was lost, Xia Chenyu would have Zheng Churong to help, in addition, he had a lot of secret chess in his hand, if he waited for Emperor Yongsheng to go back to quell the rebellion, it would be really hard to say who would kill the deer at that time.
Especially Emperor Yongsheng has offended a lot of people because of the collection of taxes from the family and nobles, if Xia Chenyu takes it out and uses it, there are not a few people who may choose to stand on his side.
Besides, if Xia Chenyu ascends the throne as the emperor, he will actually be justified in terms of identity.
After all, the abolition of the crown prince back then was very strange. As long as Xia Chenyu clears up the grievances of the abolished prince, he will be the most orthodox heir to the throne.
As for how to clear up the grievances of the abolished prince, do you need to talk about it? Everyone has already controlled the Yonggong Palace, and when the time comes, just get a few palace people to come out and testify about the events of the year.
Especially the kind of witch thing, it really depends on which side you stand on to speak.
Now it seems that Emperor Yongsheng really gave up for the sake of this country. But this also completely disrupted Zhu Linxi's original plan.
As for the civil strife in Dayong, it is not enough to use the soldiers and horses of their Shao State to quell the rebellion. Therefore, he still tried his best to use Emperor Yongsheng's soldiers and horses.
Breaking through the cliff, this is the last step Zhu Linxi is willing to take. But it is also a key step to drag the other party and prevent them from entering the secret passage.
However, after getting out from here, if you want to successfully trap the other party on the cliff and give them a fatal blow to delay time, you have to let Emperor Yongsheng sacrifice again.
If you can really trap all the opponents on the cliff, more than 10,000 elite men and horses, against the opponent's 40,000 or 50,000 stragglers, there is still a great chance of success.
After figuring it out, Zhu Linxi told everyone what he thought. After careful analysis, we feel that it is really feasible. So he waited for Emperor Yongsheng, who was about to be sacrificed, to make a statement.
In this case, it is impossible for Emperor Yongsheng to disagree.
Now is not the time to care about the other ministers and their daughters. Those people can only be their own destiny. In addition, if they lure away the opponent's people, the rebels may not be in a hurry to attack them.
Seeing that the sky was already bright outside, the sound of the other party's fighting was getting closer and closer to here.
Everyone didn't care about analyzing the details anymore. They all hurriedly got on their horses, intending to break through in the direction of the cliff.
At this moment, Cheng Kangcheng, the Marquis of Jinxiang, walked out of the secret passage with his men and horses.
"Emperor Yongsheng, you better surrender obediently. Maybe King Yujun will keep your life after he ascends the throne, giving the world the impression of a virtuous and benevolent monarch. As soon as he walked out, he made a high-profile persuasion to surrender.
Emperor Yongsheng sat on his horse and glared angrily: "You actually participated in the rebellion? ”
Not to mention Emperor Yongsheng, even the rest of the people present didn't think about it again.
Cheng Kangcheng sneered and said, "What's unthinkable about this?" My wife is the sister of the former prince. You say, if we don't help our own nephews, who do we help? ”
For this day, they have endured it for more than ten years.
"Hah! I was too soft-hearted back then, so I connived at you rebellious ministers and thieves! Emperor Yongsheng said heartbrokenly.
Indeed, Emperor Yongsheng did not wash Yongdu bloodied when he ascended the throne. He just got rid of the people he thought he should deal with. Moreover, he didn't kill even the slightest disadvantage of himself in the first place, he just thought about keeping them away from the center of power.
Among them is Cheng Kangcheng's wife, Ning He's eldest princess Xia Wanyao is the only daughter of the first emperor and the sister of the abolished prince.
Emperor Yongsheng only thought that the abolition of the crown prince had nothing to do with him, and after he ascended the throne, their party should not resent him. So later, in order to show his benevolence, Emperor Yongsheng also agreed to Concubine Liu's request and took Xia Chenyu, the son of the abolished prince, to the palace.
It was because they did not cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of their family that they caused today's disaster.
Seeing that more and more people came out of the secret passage on the other side, Zhu Linxi didn't give Emperor Yongsheng any chance to regret it, and at the same time, he didn't care about any dignity and humility, he roared at Emperor Yongsheng: "Hurry up, don't fall for the other party's delaying tactics." ”
Emperor Yongsheng nodded in a panic. Then, under the escort of the royal guards, he fought and walked out.
In order to save his life, Emperor Yongsheng also held a sword in his hand, which he could use to fight back at any time.
Wang Jibao and Zhu Linxi worked together in the division of labor. One protects Wang Ziyi, and the other protects Wang Yuxun. Wang Ziyi and Wang Yuxun also used a sword to defend themselves.
At this time, Wang Jibao was glad that Jiang was not in front of him, otherwise they would really be a husband and wife.
Xia Liyao, Xia Lishan, Xia Liyan and others also fled in the direction of the cliff under the escort of their respective guards.
From the moment Emperor Yongsheng decided to give up on them and choose to protect Yongdu and the crown prince, everyone knew that they couldn't rely on others now, and everything could only survive on their own. Therefore, they are all extremely desperate.
Wang Jibao and Zhu Linxi have also reached a consensus, and now only protecting their families is the key.
Emperor Yongsheng can treat himself as a waste chess, so his life and death are not as important as before.
Such a result was really something that the couple did not expect.
The cliff has really become a corner of their breakthrough.
Fortunately, Wang Jibao and Zhu Linxi, and even Wang Ziyi and Wang Yuxun brought the maids and servants this time are actually secret guards. None of them were given for nothing.
Wang Jibao's instructions to everyone are to leave their backs to their companions, and to fight shoulder to shoulder and back to back with confidence. Don't be soft-hearted towards the rebels, just take their lives.
In addition, everyone is told to protect their lives.
At this time, no matter who it is, only by protecting their own lives and killing one more enemy can they better protect their masters.
Besides, their master's skills are not enough to be protected by the sacrifice of their own lives by their men.
Under the guidance of this policy, Wang Jibao and his group of people were red-eyed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
When the rebels saw that they were so united, they simply let them go and turned to attack the others.
Nonsense, this group of people is completely like Shura who came out of hell, and their moves are all extremely simple and killing moves.
Playing with them will only kill you.
Maybe it's because of this ruthlessness that the enemy was scared away.
When Wang Jibao and his party reached the cliff, they had already thrown off the pursuers far behind.
When he arrived at the cliff, Zhu Linxi prepared a lot of ropes according to Wang Jibao's reminder.
"Sister Bao, I'll let them go down first and then pick you up." Zhu Linxi said to Wang Jibao.
Wang Jibao nodded and said, "Okay, let them all be careful." ”
"Hmm." After Zhu Linxi responded, he glanced at the scroll and the scroll.
The two of them were not verbose, and took a few people, each pulling a rope with a hook and taking the lead in sliding down the cliff.
Their martial arts are not weak, and they have also received this kind of training, so they will soon land safely.
They didn't shout, they just shook the rope softly according to the code.
Zhu Linxi looked at Wang Jibao and said, "You and your father-in-law have one each, when you slide down, pay attention to protect your father-in-law." ”
"Okay, you have to come down as soon as possible." After Wang Jibao finished speaking to Zhu Linxi, he turned his head to look at Wang Ziyi and said, "Dad, you have to be careful." ”
"Hmm." Although he was a little scared, at this time, Wang Ziyi definitely couldn't show it in front of so many people.
When he was about to climb down the rope, Wang Jibao took off the transparent silk of the ice silkworm from his waist, wrapped one end around his waist, and wrapped the other end around Wang Ziyi's waist. This made Wang Ziyi feel a little more at ease.
Fortunately, Wang Ziyi has also practiced some martial arts, and although he stumbled along the way, he finally reached the ground safely.
Next, Zhu Linxi and Wang Yuxun also slid down smoothly.
The rest of the people also reached the bottom of the cliff safely.
Zhu Linxi couldn't take care of Emperor Yongsheng and the others at this time, so he took Wang Jibao and them to quickly walk towards the ambush place of Qianlongwei.
It's just a pity that the horses on it are all mounts carried by a few people.
Wang Jibao hoped that he and Zhu Linxi's snow lion horses could find them by themselves, after all, snow lion horses are spiritual.
Before reaching the cliff, they had ordered the horses to make a bloody way and let them go.
When they arrived at the hiding place of the Qianlong Guard, Zhu Yi, the commander of the Qianlong Guard, came to meet a few people.
"Master, ma'am. Two kings. ”
Zhu Linxi nodded and said, "Well, don't be polite." ”
"The horses of the master and the lady are ready, shall we go around to the rear to intercept their men and horses now?" Zhu Yi asked Zhu Linxi for instructions.
Zhu Linxi ordered: "Let's evacuate first." Wait for Emperor Yongsheng's Black Dragon Guard to assemble and let them be the main force. The most important thing for us is to preserve our own strength. ”
"Good. The subordinates will arrange it. After Zhu Yi finished saluting again, he went to arrange for people.
"Father-in-law, will you blame me?" It's really a bit unorthodox to do this at this time, but he is not a citizen of Emperor Yongsheng.
"I understand, just do as you say." Although he still didn't accept it in his heart, he could only accept it for the sake of his youngest daughter and son-in-law.
Besides, at this time, as long as you don't drag them back, what else can you talk about.
