Chapter 201: Lian Zhen usurped the throne

Shunxi 2 years, summer.

Ning Ze married Chu Meiren, and the locust plague was destroyed.

Although he is unwilling, as a celebrity, how can Chu Xun break the contract?

has become Weng's son-in-law, so he can only invest in Liu Yuanxiang's account and plan the future for his daughter.

Because he was quite confused about the air boat, he asked him face to face.

Ning Ze took the egg and hollowed it out, and used fire to make the eggshell fly, and explained it in detail, and everyone felt magical.

With the assistance of Chu Xun and Chu Meiren, Ning Ze's burden was shared, which was relatively easy and the pressure was reduced.

Ning Ze ordered to recuperate, and the three prefectures of Jin, Han, and Cheng rushed to plant seeds, striving for the autumn harvest to make up for the losses caused by the locust plague.

In July of the 2nd year of Shunxi, the imperial city of Miliang.

Wang Yu supported Emperor Shun's meritorious work and was promoted to the position of prime minister, and his rights were unmatched for a while.

Emperor Shun allowed his sword to go to court, and the imperial city rode a horse.

Zhou Hydroxy's strategist Li Shun escaped, hated Wang Yu to the core, evaded pursuit, and contacted Mei Xu and Lian Zhen at the same time to meet for revenge.

The three of them conspired to ambush Wang Yu while he was hunting.

Wang Yu was defeated in the battle and was killed on the spot by Lian Zhen.

Killing Wang Yu, Li Shun said: "Now Miliang is up and down, and they are all Wang Yu's friends. If you know that he is dead, you will seek revenge from us! Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take a hand!"

Mei Xu hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?"

Li Shun replied: "Immediately enter Miliang, kill Emperor Shun, and support Liu Spleen, the king of Wuqing, as emperor." Eliminate Wang Yupeng's party!"

Mei Xu and Lian Zhen followed his words, returned to Miliang City to raise troops to rebel and enter the imperial city.

On the top of the main hall, Emperor Shun was stunned: "Why are you like this?"

Li Shun shouted: "Wang Yu plotted to kill Prime Minister Zhou, and he has already conferred the title! Your Majesty does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and plots to kill Zhongliang, and he is not a Ming monarch!"

Emperor Shun was shocked and shouted left and right.

Lian Zhen stepped forward and slashed it with a sword.

In order to save Emperor Shun, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the three of them, and the Lian Xuan army outside came out to defeat the Imperial Forest Army and control the situation.

All the civil and military generals who protected Emperor Shun were killed by Lian Zhen and Mei Xu, and the rest of the officials surrendered to save their lives.

Li Shun proposed to support Liu Spleen, the king of Wuqing, as an enemy, and sent someone to invite him.

King Wuqing was grieved to learn that Emperor Shun had been killed. reprimanded Li Shun's subordinates for not wanting to ascend the throne as puppets, damaging the majesty of the royal family.

So he drew his sword and killed himself.

The family members of the king of Wuqing then committed suicide one after another.

When the news came back, Mei Xu and Lian Zhen were shocked and hurriedly asked Li Shun how to deal with it.

Li Shun replied: "As soon as King Wuqing dies, there will be no royal family in Yunzhou! In this case, simply usurp the throne and set himself up as the emperor! Dacheng has collapsed, and there is no need for support!"

"Who can be the new emperor?" asked Mei Xu.

"You can send someone to Bian Zhou and ask the little prince to ascend the throne!" Li Shun said.

"The eldest prince is still here, how can he abolish the elder and the young?" Mei Xu persuaded, "It is better to make the eldest prince the emperor, and the younger prince can be the prince!"

Li Shun shook his head: "How can He De, the son of the moth, be? And he is not as good as the little son!"

After discussion, he wrote a letter to Bian Zhou to ask Zhou Yuan to come back.

Lian Xuan's deputy general Cao Ang paid a private visit and said to Lian Xuan: "It is the general's work to take the imperial city, and now the general controls the city, why should he give this place to Zhou Yuan? With the ability of a general, it is not difficult to compete in the world!"

Lian Zhen thought hard for a long time and led the troops to Li Shun's residence.

Li Shun had just finished preparing the letter, and when he saw Lian Zhen coming, he stepped forward and asked, "What else is the matter with the general?"

"Come and kill!" Lian Xuan drew his sword and stabbed Li Shun to death, ordered someone to take the yellow robe and jade seal, summoned hundreds of officials to announce his ascension to the throne, established himself as Emperor Wu, and changed the name of the year to Chengwu.

and those who do not obey will be killed.

When Mei Xu learned of this, he was furious and led the soldiers to question.

Without a word, he fought in the imperial city, killing blood all over the ground.

Mei Xu was defeated by Lian Zhen and was defeated and pulled out of the imperial city.

Lian Zhen sent troops to pursue, and persuaded Mei Xu left and right: "You can go to Bian Zhou to take refuge with the two sons." ”

So Mei Xu quickly stepped up and led the troops all the way out of Yunzhou.

When I arrived in Bianzhou, I saw Tang Niu and Zhou Yuan, and reported the matter. did not say anything about wanting to establish Zhou Yuan.

Tang Niu learned that Wang Yu was killed, Yunzhou was in chaos, and Lian Zhen rebelled and established himself as the emperor, and immediately said angrily: "Lian Zhen Pifu, I will kill him!" and he wanted to lead troops to attack Yunzhou.

Zhou Yuan persuaded: "If Lian Zhen establishes himself as the emperor, the princes will inevitably attack him in groups and bring about their own destruction! What's more, this person was originally the leader of Tuyu, not a person from the Central Plains, so how could the princes allow him? ”

Mei Xu's face was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Yuan in disbelief: "The little boy is quite insightful, and the last general admires it! ”

Tang Niu heard this and said: "Yuan'er has been studying the art of war day and night recently, and she has indeed grown a lot. I am quite relieved to be a brother. In this case, we will act according to the mandarin mandarin's policy!"

Sure enough, Lian Zhen established himself as the emperor, and the news instantly aroused the hostility of the princes.

Lu Cong summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter, and Sima Fa said to him: "Those who are honest and unscrupulous will seek their own death! The prime minister can send a letter calling on the princes to besiege and attack him." When the time comes, sit back and reap the profits and take the land of the nine counties of Yunzhou lightly!"

Lu Cong listened to the suggestion and ordered someone to issue a letter to inform the world.

Zhou Qing of Yanzhou, Zheng Mu of Wuzhou, Wu Xin of Gunzhou, and Wei Hui of Mizhou responded quickly, putting aside the dispute for the time being and sending troops to Yunzhou.

Sima Fa Chen Bing Fujiang County to prepare.

Bashui County Taishou Xia Xun was shocked, worried that Sima Fa would violate the realm, and hurriedly asked for help.

Ouyang Chun got the news, left Chen Tai and Tang Yu to garrison Dan County, and led the army to Bashui County to garrison.

Although it can be guessed that Sima Fa is probably aimed at Lian Zhen, but the place where Bashui County must pass, in case of a surprise attack on the city when detouring from the side, it is also very dangerous.

Knowing that the princes of the four states brought troops to kill and besieged Yunzhou from different directions, Sima Fa Chen soldiers Fujiang, Lian Zhen suddenly felt the pressure and hurriedly summoned the civil and military forces to ask for countermeasures.

Feng Yuan said: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth! Your Majesty has excellent martial arts, what is there to fear?"

Lian Zhen put his mind at ease and ordered Feng Yuan to lead his troops to garrison Datong County to guard against Wu Xin, the assassin of Gunzhou, and Zheng Mu, the assassin of Wuzhou.

Yushi Lei He asked for help, hoping to be transferred to Wuqing to resist Zhou Qing, the assassin of Yanzhou.

Lian Xuan agreed to his request, and led his troops to Mizhang County, and personally marched to resist Wei Hui, the assassin of Mizhou.

For a time, the war in Yunzhou was raging.

Taking advantage of the princes' siege of the puppet emperor Lian Xuan, Tang Niu took Zhou Yuan and Mei Xu to lead the troops to raid Puzhou.

Li Xun was attracted by Lian Zhen's attention, but he didn't react, and Tang Niu broke through Wushui, and hurriedly dispatched a large army to defend Sanlong County.

Lian Zhen and the soldiers and horses of the four counties fought in different battlefields, while Tang Niu and Li Xun fought fiercely in Puzhou.

At this moment, Chu Bai was being harassed by Zhao Chen and Han Guan, and he had a headache. I can't afford to be distracted and take care of other people's affairs. Focus on quelling civil strife and solving internal problems.

Liangzhou was also busy with civil strife, and the brothers didn't care about family affection in order to seize power, and fought desperately.

Sun Jun recruited troops in Kangjun and wanted to make a big deal.

As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, even if there is a power struggle, Sun Yi, who currently controls almost the entire Liangzhou, is the great enemy. Therefore, Sun Qi and Sun Jun united to fight against the second brother Sun Yi from Ning'an and Kangjun respectively.

Sun Yi had enough strength in his hands, so he didn't put his two younger brothers in his eyes, and sent troops to encircle and suppress them separately.

Sima Fa Chen Bing Fujiang suddenly turned around and moved quickly when the princes were fighting, and arrived directly in Puzhou.

In order to guard against Tang Niu, Li Xun, the assassin of Puzhou, transferred the troops of each county to Sanlong, so the defense was sparse. And he didn't expect that Lu Cong's army, which was staring at Yunzhou, would suddenly go north and quietly appear in Puzhou.

Under the surprise attack, Daxing County was lost and occupied by Sima Fa.

Before he could react, Zhou Hao's army, which was divided into two ways with Sima Fa's soldiers, captured Hengshan County.

Li Xun was shocked and at a loss.

In front of Tang Niu, who was menacing, the world's first military general, took the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, just like probing for things. Later, Sima Fa's army captured two cities in a row, and they couldn't resist it at all.

Puzhou instantly only had Sanlong and Pinggu two counties left, and they were separated by Hengshan County, so they could not rescue each other.

In a hurry, he summoned his subordinates and said in a panic: "Tang Niu attacked Sanlong, and Lu Cong's army took advantage of the situation to sneak attack and captured the two counties of Daxing and Hengshan. Now there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, how to deal with them?"

Strategist Tang Song stood up: "Envoy, Tang Niu is known as the world's number one general, and no one can defeat him! Now that Wang Yu is dead, our army alone is definitely not Tang Niu's opponent. Tang Niu was full of hatred for the envoy because of Zhou Kui's death, and if he broke through the city, he would never let the envoy live! And Lu Cong's strength was several times that of our army, even if the rear guards were loose, it was possible to take the two counties so quickly, which shows that the combat power is not bad. Our army is no match for Tang Niu, nor is it an opponent for Lu Cong, one is still fighting hard, how can he survive under the trap?"

Of course, Li Xun knew, and hurriedly asked him, "How is it good?"

Tang Song replied: "Tang Niu is a tiger, and Lu Congjun is a pack of wolves, even if the soldiers and horses of the two counties are exhausted, they still can't resist it." The only way to survive at the moment is to surrender to one of the parties and sacrifice the three dragons and the two counties of Pinggu to save their lives. Tang Niu hated the envoy very much, and he couldn't vote for him, otherwise he would die! Lu Cong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he was Tang Niu's mortal enemy. If you want to fight to the death, we will also sacrifice our lives to accompany you!"

Li Xun thought hard and felt that Tang Song's words were very reasonable. Although I have some ambitions, I don't want to send people under the fence. It's just that there is no way out, there is no choice. Therefore he sighed: "Who can be the messenger?"

Tang Song immediately replied: "If you can be trusted, the lower officials are willing to go to Lu Cong's army to ask for surrender, and with a three-inch tongue in his mouth, he will seek a future for you!"

"This ......" Li Xun lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said, "Okay!"

Tang Song took Li Xun's letter of surrender, quickly left Sanlong, and hurried to Hengshan County.

Seeing Zhou Hao respectfully offering a letter of surrender, he said to him: "Make you loyal to Dacheng and have no selfishness." Now that Emperor Shun is dead, Emperor Hui should be the lord of the world, and the whole of Puzhou is the object of the Son of Heaven, so how can there be any reason to attack him?"

Zhou Hao took the letter and took a closer look, and couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said: "It makes sense! Sima Junshi will come soon, and he has the final say on how to deal with it." If you are loyal to Dacheng, you need not worry. Your Majesty has always been kind to the faithful!"

Tang Song saluted respectfully: "Thank you, General! We have no disagreement with Dacheng." ”
