Trembling and rising, the little eunuch looked at Emperor Beining, and said with a frightened expression: "Your Majesty, the front line has reported that General Sima has left his post without permission, and has left the border with all the troops under his command, and is heading in the direction of Lanling, saying that he is going to support King Lanling, and he is against it...... Oppose the tyranny of the emperor! ”

"Bastard!" The anger that had just been suppressed gathered in his chest again, and if Emperor Bac Ninh's eyes could breathe fire, he wanted to burn the person in front of him to ashes immediately, "Doesn't that old man know whose world this Bac Ninh is!" It's really the opposite, it's all the opposite! ”

Shu Yichen, who had been looking at all living beings with cold eyes, suddenly sneered, and then restrained his smile, and said with a solemn face: "Father, didn't you send King Ling to Lanling, such a big thing happened, why didn't King Ling come back with no news, isn't it too strange?" ”

After Shu Yichen mentioned it, Emperor Beining remembered that he still had a son left in Lanling, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Yes, Ling'er has always been smart, he is in Lanling, there is no reason why he won't know about the wolf ambition of King Lanling, why hasn't any news been sent back......

Seeing that Emperor Beining was suspicious in his heart, Su Yichen sneered in his heart, looked at the Lord of the Ministry of Rites and the Palace beside him, and secretly made a look.

After receiving Su Yichen's hint, the palace lord exaggerated "huh", and then said: "King Ling doesn't report it, what does this mean?" Could it be that just because the emperor had sent King Ling to guard the remote areas before, he held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to retaliate? ”

"Lord Gong, how do you speak!" Before Emperor Beining could react, Shu Yichen angrily reprimanded, "Now that the country is in crisis, as an important minister of the imperial court, not only can you not solve the emperor's worries, but you are speculating here wildly, what are your intentions!" ”

Hearing Su Yichen's accusation, the palace lord hurriedly lowered his head and said with a panicked expression: "It's the official who doesn't choose what to say, please ask the emperor and the prince to forgive their sins!" It's just that...... As a courtier, the minister has something to say, doesn't it seem strange that the emperor is silent about King Ling? ”

Emperor Beining is a small-hearted and jealous person, and he can't stand the provocation of others, so after hearing the palace master's "self-speculation", he is already trembling with anger.

"What Master Gong said is right, if Ling'er knew the truth, but didn't come back in time to report it, there is only one answer!"

That is, even his own son betrayed himself and complied with the thieves!

Thinking of this, Emperor Beining felt as if there was a ball of anger in his heart, which burned more and more, and finally turned into a stream of blood and surged up.

burst

I saw Emperor Beining spurting out a mouthful of blood, staining the Ming and Huang dragon robes red, and shocked the courtiers and princes beside him to turn pale, and the six gods had no owner.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty became in a hurry because of the sudden fainting of the Emperor of Beining, and some promising people looked at this chaos, and couldn't help but feel related, secretly thinking that the war has not officially started, and the internal chaos of Beining has begun, and the future of Beining is really worrying!

I thought that attacking Lanling was just a matter of day and night, but I didn't expect that Lanling's soldiers were strong and strong, and the soldiers were well-trained, and even General Xiang, a battle-hardened veteran general, could not shake its roots, so he could only confront the two armies across the river outside Lanling. Ten days have passed, the army has not moved at all, and General Xiang, who is standing in front of the camp, is ashamed and angry in his heart, secretly thinking that this king of Lanling is really plotting against the throne of Beining as rumored, otherwise how can the king of a city have such a strong army? And looking at the constantly crowded armor in the city, there must be many soldiers in the city, which is seriously inconsistent with the news from the palace.

At this time, General Xiang didn't know that Sima's army was rapidly approaching here, and the one in the palace was already unconscious, and the real imperial power had been firmly grasped by Shu Yichen, and the general trend of the world was already changing rapidly.

The inspector who had been staring at Lanling City suddenly pointed to a figure on the city wall and said, "General, look, the people in Lanling City seem to be about to send a letter!" ”

General Xiang's lieutenant also looked over, raised his eyebrows and said smugly: "We have been besieging Lanling for ten days, and Lanling, who has not been baptized by the war, is afraid that he has long been frightened by the formation of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and if he can endure it until now, it can be regarded as full of determination." Judging by the generals, they are afraid of our strength and are going to disarm and surrender! ”

After hearing this, Xiang General didn't say a word, just made a gesture in the direction behind him, and then a small soldier ran forward to receive the secret protection. From General Xiang's majestic face, there was no change in his face, but in his heart, he was already apprehensive about this battle. Even the cronies around him are so light on the enemy, it seems that the future of this battle is really uncertain!

After receiving the news sent by Lanling City, the deputy general unfolded, and read with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiang Jun, if you can surrender here......" The deputy general was stunned, and then put away all the jokes, his eyes almost wanted to spew fire, and his voice was also mixed with anger, "If you can surrender here, King Lanling will definitely spare Xiang Jun and treat prisoners of war well!" ”

"It's disgusting!" Another general beside him said indignantly, "It's just a little Lanling King, and he dares to make a big deal in front of the general!" General, let's attack them now and kill them without a single piece of armor! ”

"That's it, let them know that we are powerful in the Xiang family!"

"Those rich and noble children only know how to be greedy for pleasure, and when they see our generals treating them politely, they think that we are all easy to bully, and they don't give them some color to see, and they think that we are all soft persimmons!"

"That's right!"

The indignant voices of the people around him came and went, but General Xiang still had a steady face. It's just that as everyone's tone gets bigger and bigger, they keep belittling the King of Lanling to improve themselves, which makes General Xiang a little annoyed.

"That's enough, didn't you realize that this was a trap at all!"

When everyone heard the general's cold rebuke, they couldn't help but fall silent and looked at each other.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Xiang General said slowly: "You have committed a taboo in the army, that is, you despise the enemy too much. When you transferred the army to Lanling, you thought that the 200,000 troops of the Xiang family would not be a problem to deal with Lanling, so you didn't pay attention to the enemy in your heart, and came with a playful heart. It is this sense of contempt that blinds your eyes and makes you ignore many important details, for example, when competing with the Lanling soldiers, they have a good command and strict formations, on the surface, because of the disparity in numbers, Lanling is not the opponent of the Xiang family army at all, but as long as you are willing to look carefully, you can find that the Lanling soldiers are leading our noses! Take this river," he said, pointing to the river in front of him, and said, "on the surface, because of the heavy rain of the last few days, the river here has swelled so much that the army has to stagnate here, waiting for the quartermaster office to make a long ladder to cross the river overnight, but who of you has observed that on the other side of the river, there are people who have been digging the river of water, and drawing the water from the river in the city to the outer river, and deepening the depth of the outer river. So, even if you rush to the long ladder overnight, you can't keep up with the speed at which the water deepens. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in amazement, and then looked across the river, and sure enough, they saw a small pair of men and horses by the river, constantly digging the ground, and if you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't pay attention to what they were doing.

Clenched his fists, the adjutant general said coldly: "General, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 men and horses, go around the back of Lanling, kill into Lanling, and capture the thief King Lanling!" ”

The excitement of his subordinates not only did not get Xiang General's appreciation, but he sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "The current Lanling City, I am afraid that the net of heaven and earth has already been laid, and the enraged soldiers are waiting to throw themselves into the net. It seems that the King of Lanling has already made full preparations, just waiting for the Emperor of Beining to launch an offensive, and he has a reasonable excuse to confront the Emperor of Beining openly, so as to raise troops and set up his own door! ”

"But how big is this Lanling, even if there are no people in this city, how many soldiers can it hold? General, please forgive the last general, you seem to have too many scruples about this Lanling King! ”

On the contrary, General Xiang hoped that all this was his own scruples and the result of his own cranky thoughts. But years of experience in conquest told him that this Lanling King was far from being as cynical as he appeared on the outside, and it was simply terrifyingly deep! And behind him, there must be a resourceful military advisor, so there are so many precision formations that he has never even seen. Dealing with Nangong Jingchen is far more tricky than imagined!

Before General Xiang could refute the erroneous views of his subordinates, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

"General, general, three kilometers behind, a large group of people came, it seems, there are as many as 300,000!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked by the huge number, and they became uneasy and worried.

Still Xiang was well-informed, and after a moment of surprise, he asked in a deep voice: "Can you see which side of the person it is?" ”

"I ...... I don't know, I can only see on the banner they put up...... It reads...... Sima! ”

General Sima!?

Hearing each other's names, everyone was shocked again, and after looking at each other, they all saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.

"General Sima is not guarding the frontier, what is he doing in Lanling? Could it be an order from the emperor? ”

General Xiang shook his head, frowned and said, "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know that General Sima left the frontier and came to Lanling." ”

Although General Xiang didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood the meaning, and their faces couldn't help but turn cold, and they said indignantly: "I really didn't expect that even Sima Lao Thief also took refuge in King Lanling, it's really unancient!" ”

"What kind of ability does this Lanling King have, even General Sima is facing him?"

"In the past, I only heard that King Lanling was cynical, obedient, and incompetent. Such a person, why did he dare to support his own army and rebel against the emperor? That General Sima is also an old fool, and his reputation has been ruined like this! ”

"That's it!" Xiang roared angrily at the general, interrupting everyone's endless speculation, "Sima's army is less than three miles away from us, and you still have the heart to think about other people's motives here, shouldn't you be ready to fight against Sima's army now!" 300,000, more than all the soldiers we have, if he really supports the King of Lanling, then we have to fight a tough battle! ”
