Chapter 93: The Siege

But the next moment, after Gonggong Cao leaned over and finished speaking, Xu Jing's face changed greatly: "If this is the case, you should be cut with a thousand cuts!" ”

Seeing Xu Jing's face full of anger, Gonggong Cao stood on one side without saying a word.

"Today's events must not be transmitted to the court, and the news must be blocked."

After Xu Jing was angry, he calmly said to Cao's father-in-law.

"But if you sit back and watch, I'm afraid that Commander Jiang won't be able to support it for too long."

Gonggong Cao said with some anxiety.

Gonggong Cao knows that the current court is leaking on all sides, and even if Jinyiwei wants to block the news, it will not be able to support it for too long.

Not to mention that the situation in Yecheng is precarious now, if the news is blocked again, even three days without support may not be able to support it.

"Rest assured, Jiang Zhenting is by no means incompetent. He will be able to sustain himself for three days. And send a man into the city, and make sure that it lasts for three days. ”

"When the 100,000 rebel army is wrapped up in the forbidden army and rushes into battle, this situation can be broken."

Xu Jing said extremely calmly.

"Then do you want to inform the champion Hou about this?" Gonggong Cao asked.

"Not for the time being, but it's just a siege, and there is no need to tell you if it's not a matter of life or death."

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and vetoed.

"The slave understands, so let's do it."

Gonggong Cao nodded and turned to leave.

Xu Jing looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed slightly: "It seems that I still overestimate this brother, he doesn't even have the most basic patience for being a king." ”

With that, Xu Jing walked quickly to the dormitory.

At this moment, he is full of anger, and he has to find someone to vent his anger.

On the other side, the housekeeper in the Xiao Mansion rushed into the study with the news: "My lord, it's not good! ”

"When?"

Looking at the housekeeper who trespassed without permission, Xiao Daoling's face was full of displeasure, he held back his anger and asked coldly.

"The army of King Qi stormed Yecheng and besieged the city with the rebels, as if they were going to slaughter the city!"

The housekeeper told the frontline information one by one.

"What!"

Hearing the news, Xiao Daoling hurriedly threw down the pen in his hand and stood up and shouted angrily.

The butler cowered, bowed his head, and did not dare to say a word.

"Idiot, rubbish! I can't help but be humiliated, what is the king? ”

Xiao Daoling scolded angrily while pacing in the study.

Xu Wu's behavior of turning the gun and going straight to Yecheng is absolutely impossible to say that it has nothing to do with it.

But it was his little honor and disgrace that almost ruined the good situation that Xiao Daoling had been planning for a long time.

If Xu Wu had not been involved in the battle of Yecheng, or pretended to relieve the siege, he would have chased the rebels into the main capital.

can use the pretext of guarding the safety of the capital to take the capital as their own and then establish a new regime.

But now, Xu Wu wantonly besieged Yecheng.

This is undoubtedly pushing himself into the camp of the rebels and gaining a reputation as a usurper of the throne.

Even if he sits in the capital again, the people and scholars and literati in the world have become a puppet dynasty, and I am afraid it will be difficult to attract people of insight to join it.

"My lord, what should I do now? The scouts in the young master's army were still waiting outside the mansion. ”

The housekeeper interrupted Xiao Daoling's angry scolding and reminded him tremblingly.

"Order Xiao Jingling to immediately regain military power and lead the army to evacuate near Yecheng."

"Also, let all the vassal kings work together, and they will definitely take Yecheng within two days!"

Now, Xiao Daoling can only change his thinking and take Yecheng first.

If Yecheng can be captured, there will be very few remaining new emperor's troops near the capital.

At that time, Xu Wu sat in the capital again, and then divided half of the country, and maybe he could fight against Xu Jing.

"Two days? This is probably extremely difficult, and there are no siege engines among the armies carried by the feudal kings this time. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to chisel through the walls of Yecheng. ”

The butler lowered his head and reminded.

Yecheng has always been one of the guard cities in the Gyeonggi area, which has been repaired by several generations of emperors in the past three hundred years.

Its thickness has already reached an unimaginable three feet! The height of its walls is ten feet!

Moreover, the roads are narrow, and the number of siege equipment and troops that can pass through the city is very small.

Even in the case of siege equipment, it is necessary to spend at least twice the casualties before it can be breached.

Now, in the absence of siege equipment, no matter how many or three times the number of troops are paid, they will not want to break it.

"Then heap with human life! What else can be done for now? If Yecheng is defended, the siege will inevitably be in jeopardy. When the new emperor frees his hand, the situation in the capital will become more and more crisis-oriented! ”

Xiao Daoling glared at the housekeeper and shouted angrily.

Although the Acropolis is also an Acropolis, it is easy to advance with various siege equipment because of its flat terrain, although it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But Xu Jingruo is determined to take it, and he will definitely be able to defeat it by spending three times his troops.

At that time, the guards not far from the Acropolis were completely exposed, and it was difficult to resist the invasion of the army.

"Understood, the minion will go and tell them."

The housekeeper looked at Xiao Daoling's angry eyes, trembled and didn't dare to speak, and immediately got up and left.

"Idiot! Such a mediocre person must be abolished sooner! ”

Xiao Daoling was full of displeasure when he thought of Xu Wu's waste.

If it weren't for this idiot's assertions, his plan would have been half accomplished!

Pull the family behind the six Shangshu into the water, and then unite several vassal kings with the help of the various resources of their domains, they will definitely be able to form an invincible cavalry force.

In less than three years, the military strength of the capital regime will definitely be able to stabilize Xu Jing, and then sweep the Central Plains!

At that time, if the Xiao family murders the vassal kings and Xu Wu, they will be able to completely hold the power in their hands and become the co-master of the new world!

But now, the plan has changed dramatically, and the only way to do it is to re-plan.

Tonight seems to be quiet, but in fact, whether it is Xu Jingyi or Xiao Daoling, they are in a very bad mood and difficult to sleep.

"Your Majesty, Yecheng is in danger?"

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Jing had just finished washing up and came to the Xi Zheng Palace.

Jiang Wuji, Lin Hai and Xu Sen came to the door together.

Just met Xu Jing, Jiang Wujian asked anxiously.

Xu Jing frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Gonggong Cao on the side.

Gonggong Cao shook his head slightly, as if he was equally puzzled by Jiang Wuji's knowledge of this.

"Where did Uncle Jiang get this news?"

Xu Jing neither admitted nor denied it, but just asked Jiang Wujian where he learned the news.

It stands to reason that Gonggong Cao has ordered Jinyiwei to block the news, and it shouldn't spread so quickly.

"It's not a deliberate search. It's just that last night I was patrolling outside the city, and someone spread the news to the city gates. ”

Jiang Wujian told the situation in 1510, and at the same time handed Xu Jing a piece of paper with alarmist remarks written on it.

"It seems that my brother is not stupid enough to come home. But what can it do? ”

Xu Jing took the paper, and what was written in it was his own guilt.

It was left at the end, because of the incompetence of the new emperor, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in Yecheng.

"Could it be that these are true?"

Jiang Wujian was even more worried, he was worried not only about Jiang Zhenting, but also about the tens of thousands of forbidden troops and Dragon Cliff defenders.

Once this army is destroyed, there will be very few troops that can completely obey Xu Jing's command.

"Half-truths, the situation is nowhere near as critical."

Xu Jing slapped the paper on the table casually and said lightly.
