Chapter 291: Du Bian shocked the world! The emperor was ecstatic
"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
"Viscount Baise Du Chang won a complete victory, and the 100,000 army of the Li Clan's Pseudo-Great Yan Kingdom was wiped out. β
There were hundreds of such messengers, spreading the news from all corners of the empire.
Everywhere they passed, they were shook.
When everyone heard it, they were first incredulous.
Who is this so-called Viscount of Baise Du Bian? I've never heard of this person?
But the Li clan's Great Yan Kingdom knew that it had started to rebel a few months ago, and it was completely angry.
Even now, the main force of the Li clan is expanding its territory like a bamboo.
In just a few months, the Great Yan Kingdom of the Li Clan had expanded more than three times. Up to now, most of Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, and Guangxi Province have been occupied by the Li family, and this Great Yan Kingdom has occupied seventy percent of the southwest, leaving Sichuan Province.
In the eyes of everyone, the secession of the southwest of the empire has become a reality, and it is completely irretrievable.
Even the Daning Empire is short of time, and no one can save it.
Such a powerful Great Yan Kingdom is completely like the rising sun, and it will be defeated? And the 100,000 army will be wiped out?
The point is that this war was not fought in Nanning Mansion, nor in Kunming Mansion, but in a small city like Baise Mansion?
But this is an urgent military situation of 800 miles, so it shouldn't be faked.
No matter what, countless people remember one name, and that is Viscount Du Bian.
......
The county seat of Tianbao is too small, and Yuan Tianzhao's 35,000 army can stay for a day or two, and it can't be stationed for a long time.
Therefore, Yuan Tianzhao's army only stayed in Tianbao County for one day, and then retreated to Nanning Mansion.
The gate of Nankai Dojo.
Because of the Li family's rebellion, Nanning Mansion had fallen after all, so the Nanhai Dojo was completely empty at this time.
Du Jiang, the governor of Guangxi, looked at the gate and said slowly: "It was here that Li Wenyu went on a killing spree back then, killing all the forces of the Li clan in Guangxi and all the corrupt officials, creating an unprecedented good situation. And our department also took advantage of the weakness to deceive the eunuch forces for a short-term alliance, and then turned around and sold the eunuch party, killed Li Yutang, killed Zhang Yangming, the governor of Guangxi, abolished King Gui, and abolished the prince of Zhennan. One cleaned the power of the eunuch party in Guangxi, and then conspired with the Li clan to secede Guangxi Province. β
Yuan Tianzhao said: "Most of this is the handiwork of the governor, and the contribution is indispensable. β
Du Jiang said: "The Li clan rebelled, occupied the southwest of the empire within a few months, the emperor issued an edict against himself, and then abdicated and committed suicide, and the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor. These are the strategies of the sovereign, and no step can be wrong. β
Yuan Tianzhao was silent.
Du Jiangdao, the governor of Guangxi, said: "Of course, you are right not to attack Baise City. β
With a long exhalation, Du Jiang, the governor of Guangxi, sighed: "I didn't expect it, I never thought that Du Chang, this little snake, would actually transform into a dragon, we are in big trouble." β
Yuan Tianzhao said: "Yes, there is big trouble." β
Du Jiangdao, the governor of Guangxi: "Wait for the emperor's counterattack, wait for his counterattack!"
Yuan Tianzhao said: "The Li clan still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the fate of Du Chang is still unknown." β
Du Jiang shook his head and said: "I can't wait, the kung fu lies in the poetry, and we must solve Du Chang's little evil animal as soon as possible." β
......
Inside the palace of the Great Flame Kingdom!
King Li Ruhai sat quietly on the throne, and Li Wanwan knelt on the ground.
The faces of the two people were particularly pale.
Listening to Li Wanwan tell the entire battle situation one by one, Li Ruhai didn't say anything for a long time after listening to it.
After a long while, Li Ruhai said: "In this way, you didn't make a mistake in this battle. The defeat in this battle was, in the final analysis, the strength of the Du Chang army, far stronger than we imagined. β
"Yes. Li Wanwan said.
Li Ruhai said: "The crown prince has taken the entire Guizhou Province, and in the southwest of the Daning Empire, there is only one Sichuan Province left." Guizhou's garrison, Tusi, and martial arts sects surrendered, and now the crown prince has 200,000 troops in his hands. Li Ruhu has more than 60,000 troops in his hands, and our headquarters can also recruit 100,000 troops. β
The army is like that, when there is no war, there are very few troops.
As soon as the war starts, there will be even more and more troops. Especially for the rebels, the army would swell to a terrible level despite the financial and logistical pressures.
The Li clan is not short of money, and the grain and grass are continuously transported by the overseas empire, so there is no shortage of food, at this time, the population ruled by the Great Yan Kingdom is more than twenty or thirty million, as long as Li Ruhai is willing, the military strength can be further expanded, but it is difficult to want elite troops.
Li Ruhai said: "We have 400,000 troops in our hands, what do you think we should do next?" Should we let the crown prince Li Zhan lead the main force to attack Sichuan, or let him return to the division and gather hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Dubian's Baise City?"
Li Wanwan frowned, and it was difficult to make a choice all of a sudden.
Of the southwestern provinces, Sichuan is the most difficult to fight.
First of all, there is a sword pavilion marquis in Shu, with an army of 60,000 under his command, although he is also disobedient to the emperor, but he regards Sichuan as his own territory.
Not only that, the second-line defenders of Sichuan Province have tens of thousands, although their combat effectiveness is not high, but they are stronger than the straw bales of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces.
The most important thing is that the Holy Flame Cult has infiltrated Guizhou and Yunnan provinces very strongly, but its infiltration into Sichuan has not been smooth.
The martial arts of the entire Sichuan Province are the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Demon Lotus Sect competing with each other.
But no matter how difficult it is to fight, as long as 200,000 troops are dispatched, it should be enough to take the entire Sichuan Province, and at that time, the Great Yan Kingdom will be truly complete, and it can be regarded as having no weakness, and it can be attacked and defended.
Without taking Sichuan, the strategy of the Great Yan Kingdom was always unsuccessful.
Therefore, the current situation is that attacking Sichuan can bring huge benefits, but it is necessary to let Du Bian continue to run rampant, and what is even more terrifying is that Du Bian may expand in the rear and directly threaten the headquarters of the Great Yan King City.
Moreover, Du Chang is indestructible, which is a huge blow to the momentum of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Taking a deep breath, Li Ruhai said: "Prepare for driving, the widow will go to Baise City in person!"
Hearing this, Li Wanwan was suddenly startled and said, "Father?"
Li Ruhai waved his hand and said, "No need to say it again." β
......
The capital, inside the Imperial Palace!
Dozens of old ministers, kneeling neatly outside the emperor's study, have been kneeling for several days in a row.
Converting the time, the super battle between Du Bian and Li's 100,000 army has begun, and I believe that the result will appear soon.
Maybe you're worried about the emperor's tricks?
So in the past few days, all the old ministers have taken turns kneeling outside the study.
As soon as the news of Du Mutiny's defeat and demise came, these old ministers immediately forced the emperor to issue an edict against him.
......
Meanwhile!
In the whole capital, the dark tide is surging.
The curfew began a few days ago, and some of the generals of the nine gates of the capital were replaced one after another.
The officers of the large battalions in the north and south also began to be frequently replaced.
Immediately afterwards, one army after another entered the capital one after another.
Two days ago, Princess Ning Xue sent a Wanhu under her command to lead an army of 5,000 to enter Beijing by order.
Not only that, under the order of the ancestor Li Lianting, the masters of Dongchang in various provinces entered Beijing one after another and entered the palace.
In just a few days, there were as many as 6,000 more guards in the palace.
More than 18,000 Ouchi guards guarded the entire palace like an iron bucket.
All keen people feel a sense of suffocation that is about to come by the storm.
The people of the capital, even if they walk, tiptoe, dare not make any sound, and try not to go out if they can.
"Bang bang ......"
Another army has entered Beijing, and it is completely legal to enter Beijing, which is a completely normal change of guard.
But everyone clearly saw that the army that had recently entered Beijing was completely different, and it was many times more elite than those before it.
Every soldier was armed to the teeth, his whole body was shrouded in armor, and as he walked through the streets, it was quiet but full of an astonishing murderous aura, and the whole street seemed to tremble.
Just a moment later!
Another army entered Beijing from the south gate of the capital, and this army was obviously not so elite, with only four thousand in number, and it came from the Tongzhou battalion.
In the past few days, the ministry has already known how many troops have entered Beijing in the name of changing guards!
There are armies loyal to the emperor, there are armies loyal to the Fang lineage, and there are many more military leaders who are watching from the sidelines.
All the energy is condensing and brewing.
As soon as the results of the Du Chang battle came, this energy might explode in an instant.
When the time comes, it may be an earth-shattering change.
......
Inside the Prince's Mansion!
The crown prince was already covered in armor, and asked in a cold voice: "Now inside and outside the capital, how many troops are loyal to my father?"
A senior general bowed down and said, "Together with the guards in the palace, there are fifty-five thousand troops loyal to Your Majesty." β
The prince said: "How many troops are loyal to that side?"
The general said, "Thirty-five thousand, but much more elite." β
The crown prince said: "What is the attitude of Yuan Teng, the Duke of Northern Jin? Of the three general soldiers around the capital, two of them are his people. β
The general said: "Neutral, but faintly biased towards the Fang system, giving a lot of convenience, the 100,000 army in his hands is very important." β
The prince drew his sword violently and said, "Go, follow me into the palace and protect my father!"
......
In the capital, in a manor, in an antique study, there are three men.
Yuan Teng, Duke of Northern Jin, Fang Zhuo, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Du Hui, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the household department.
These three people are the three giants who have power over the entire government and the opposition.
The first assistant of the cabinet said lightly: "Yuan Tenggong, at the critical moment, your position must be determined." β
Yuan Teng said: "My Yuan family has been loyal to the Ning family for too long, and it is difficult to turn the corner all of a sudden. β
Fang Zhuo said: "Yuan Gong, the hundreds of thousands of troops under your command. How much silver do you take from the imperial court every year? How much silver do you take from my lord? How many ports in Tianjin, Quanzhou, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, how much maritime trade, and how much gold and silver are in general, how much share do you Yuan Gong have? Whoever eats food, you have to do things for whom, Yuan Gong should know this. β
Yuan Teng said: "Zhuo Gong, it's true that I took the silver from you. But stretch your hand longer into my army, and now those generals, those commanders, are fed with your money, and it may not be known whether to listen to me or to you. β
Suddenly, Fang Jianzhi's voice sounded outside, and said, "Yuan Gong, I'll just ask." After the news of the defeat of the gelding came, once the emperor refused to abdicate, once a coup d'Γ©tat occurred. Our army and the emperor's army are fighting, which side is your 100,000 army on?"
Suddenly, Du Hui coughed.
Immediately afterwards, he said softly: "Duke Zhuo, when is it free, it is better to let Duke Yuan send a few disciples to take a look overseas." Look at the Lord's overseas empire, look at the Lord's army, look at the land that is almost as big as the Daning Empire, the iron ore in the sky, the gold mine in the sky?"
Shoufu Fang Zhuo nodded and said: "It's okay, let young people see the world, know how high the sky is, how big the world is, and be not narrow-minded." β
Then Du Yan said: "It's been a while since my son Du Yan died, is Ripple still in the Northern Hell Sword Sect? β
Shoufu Fang Zhuo said: "If things go well this time and the emperor abdicates smoothly, the marriage of Ripples will indeed be grasped." β
Du Hui said: "As for this time, we won't persecute Yuan Gong." I know the emperor, once the news of Du Chang's defeat and death comes and the southwest of the empire has completely fallen, he will definitely die by himself. The so-called coup d'Γ©tat, the so-called war in the capital, are just wishful thinking on the part of those under the emperor. The emperor licked the calf deeply, and he couldn't bear to force the prince to a dead end. β
Yuan Teng smiled, and then never said anything again,
The capital Fang Zhuo said: "Then just wait, wait for the news of Du Chang's defeat, it should be soon!"
Du Hui said: "It's almost there." β
Fang Jianzhi suddenly said outside: "Master Du, your son is really amazing." When you abandoned him before, did you ever think that he would become a great problem for us today?"
Du Hui said lightly: "There is no big trouble." β
The words are very flat, and when he talks about Du Bian, he is like a stranger.
Then Du Hui said: "Zhuo Gong, Cui Yan has been the prefect of Yangzhou for two years, and he can be promoted to the next level." Yangzhou prefect, let Jianzhi go, right?"
Shoufu Fang Zhuo said: "Fang Jianzhi, he is only twenty-eight years old this year, will he be too young to serve as the prefect of Yangzhou?"
"Not young, he's been a Zhizhou for two years, from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, and he has just been promoted normally. Du Hui said.
Fang Jianzhi sneered: "Du Chang, this little gelding dog is nineteen years old, he has been the prefect of Baise, and he is also a general of Baise, and he is still the viscount of the empire, Lord Du Hui, you don't have a title." β
Du Hui said with a smile: "A clown who jumped off the beam, was grabbed by the emperor in his hand as a life-saving straw, and he was about to die, what should he do." β
Fang Zhuo said: "Okay, wait! There should be news today." β
......
Inside the Royal Palace.
The crown prince was dressed in armor and held a sword, and came directly outside the emperor's study.
This is forbidden, even as a prince, you can't come in with weapons.
But his attitude made the emperor, empress, Li Lianting and others very pleased.
After the crown prince came, he didn't say anything, and stood directly in front of the emperor's door, which means very clearly, whoever dares to force his father to abdicate today will step on my corpse first.
Inside the study.
The queen mother was dressed in a linen plain dress, still kneeling on the ground, quietly knocking on the wooden fish.
She bathed and burned incense every day, and then sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, knocking on the wooden fish and praying, for a whole month.
Pray that Heaven will send down a miracle and save his husband.
Old Ancestor Li Lianting knelt on the side, and Grand Master Ning Zongwu was playing against the emperor.
At this time, the emperor seemed very quiet, and he usually couldn't get under Ning Zongwu, but he had won frequently recently, because Ning Zongwu was completely upset.
What he did to the crown prince, what Li Lianting did, and what Princess Ning Xue did, the emperor knew it in his heart.
He was very impressed.
However, he will not let the coup happen, and he will not let the capital fight.
Then the empire fell into disaster, and the crown prince was in a desperate situation.
He has such a deep affection for Du Bian, let alone his own son?
He knew that the Li clan's 100,000 troops were besieging Baise City, and the war had been open for a long time.
Soon, there will be results soon.
Once the news of Du Mutiny's defeat and death came, he would commit suicide as soon as possible.
The edict has already been written.
In addition to passing the throne to the crown prince, part of the edict is about Du Chang.
Even if Du mutiny was defeated and died, the emperor would be grateful for his kindness.
His heart became quieter and quieter.
Come on, come on, no matter how bad the news.
I'm ready for anything.
The retired ministers outside are still kneeling neatly, waiting for the last moment.
Suddenly......
There was a commotion outside.
I vaguely heard a few words, Viscount Baise changed, and the whole army was annihilated......
Suddenly, dozens of old ministers were shocked, crying, and kowtowing desperately.
"Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Xian, have you seen it? Have you seen it? His Majesty the Emperor favored such a clown who jumped off the beam, and reused such a small eunuch to change it, so that the southwest of the empire completely fell. β
"Ancestors of the Ning clan, have you seen it in the sky? Your Majesty, regardless of the ancestral system, actually canonized a eunuch as a knight, and even entrusted the entire southwest of the empire to a little eunuch who was less than twenty years old, and then the sky collapsed. β
"The eunuchs put an end to the change, brought disaster to the country and the people, killed the royal family, and arbitrarily dictatorship, resulting in the fall of the southwest of the empire. Such a traitor, when a thousand knives are cut, Taizu, Taizong, the first emperor, you have a spirit in the sky, so you will be forced to kill this eunuch scourge. β
Cabinet Minister Zhang Shizhi immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Du Chang, killed the royal family, and brought disaster to the country and the people, please Your Majesty will arrest him and put him to death." β
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Du Chang, killed the royal family, and brought disaster to the country and the people, please Your Majesty will arrest him and put him to death. β
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Du Chang, killed the royal family, and brought disaster to the country and the people, please Your Majesty will arrest him and put him to death. β
More and more ministers knelt down, holding the recital in their hands, to impeach Du Chang.
The Emperor sighed inwardly, "Has the last moment finally arrived?"
Then, he reached into his sleeve, and in it was a poison that he had prepared for a long time, and if he ate it, he would die instantly.
He looked at his wife with affection, looked at the prince's back through the door, looked at Li Lianting, and looked at Ning Zongwu, these were his closest people.
"Du Bian, the two of us have a fate, let's go together. The emperor smiled in his heart.
And at this moment, the eunuch Yun Zhu rushed in frantically and roared in an almost hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the heavens are great, the heavens are great." Viscount Baise, the prefect of Baise, and the million-strong general Du Chang, led an army of 30,000 against the 100,000-strong army of the Li clan, and won a complete victory! The 100,000 army of the Li clan's pseudo-Yan Kingdom was wiped out, and the whole army was destroyed. β
Then, he said briefly: "Lord Du Chang won a complete victory, the 100,000 army of the Li clan was almost wiped out, we won, and it was an unprecedented brilliant victory, Your Majesty Hongfu, Daning Empire Hongfu." β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was as silent as death.
The emperor really couldn't believe his ears at all, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't even dare to move at all.
The news was so good that it almost far exceeded the best results he had ever dreamed of.
This good news was too huge, and it directly knocked him out.
That's why it seems so unreal.
Her Majesty the Empress trembled, and then sped up the speed of tapping the wooden fish, and tears welled up.
"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva for bless Du Chang child!"
"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva for bless Du Chang child!"
Suddenly, dozens of old ministers kneeling outside roared: "Impossible, impossible!"
"Du Chang is just a small eunuch who has brought disaster to the country and the people, how can He De be able to defeat the 100,000 army of the Li family?"
"Impossible! This is Du Yan falsifying military information, please surrender your majesty!"
"Du changed the eunuch party, killed the royal family, brought disaster to the country and the people, forged military information, and deceived the king, and should be executed by Ling Chi!"
The old ministers outside kowtowed one after another and roared one after another.
They absolutely didn't believe the news, so how could Du Bian win? It must be fake.
The emperor stood up suddenly, his eyes blood-red and full of murderous aura.
