Chapter 231: The Kyoto Crisis Lifted

Chu Xiong's voice fell, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall was instantly silent.

Everyone's eyes showed a look of shock, especially those who were in charge of the sect, when they heard the news, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't speak at all.

In the end, it was Su Xuanyong who spoke, and his gaze was withdrawn from the military report, after all, it was Emperor Da Liang.

For so many years, he has never seen any scenes, even if he is excited, his face is not shocked.

After being silent for a while, he said softly, "Okay, very good, Kyoto is saved, and two thousand forbidden troops are being sent to support."

"Convey the order to the second prince and the fourth prince, the city wall of Kyoto must be defended, and inform the news of the withdrawal of the wolf legion, as long as they hold on, the wolf cavalry of the surprise attack will definitely be defeated."

This is not Su Xuanyong's exaggeration, it is clearly written in the military newspaper that the wolf army that attacked Tongguan has withdrawn, and the crisis in Tongguan has been temporarily lifted.

In addition to the occupied Hangu Pass, it was taken by Su Qi'an, and the forces of the two sides converged.

Next, without thinking about it, troops will definitely be sent to support, and the frontal delay of losing the wolf legion.

This surprise attack of the wolf cavalry has lost his role, even if he conquers Kyoto, if he wants to conquer the imperial city for a while and a half, there is not enough time.

By that time, the defenders of Tongguan had already returned to help, and if the wolf cavalry knew the current affairs and withdrew immediately, they might be able to save their own troops.

If you are obsessed and still attack, you will eventually be wiped out.

And this news is an exciting value for the soldiers fighting on the front line.

At least the morale will be high, the morale will be high, the spirit of the army will be united, and under this fierce battle, the wolf cavalry will want to conquer Kyoto, which is more than ten times more difficult than before.

The current Su Xuanyong was a little relaxed about the battle on the front line, but instead turned his eyes, looked at Eunuch Huang who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly.

"Huang Feng, it's not easy for a widow to treat you, you intercepted the military report at this time, concealed it and didn't report it, what kind of intentions do you have, let's say, who are you instructed by, and what is the purpose."

"If you say it happily, the widow will remember that you have served for many years, and leave your whole body, if not, according to the law of Great Liang, Ling Chi will be put to death!"

Huang Feng, who was lying on the ground, trembled and hesitated, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this matter is a moment of confusion for the minions, and they have been blinded by lard."

"This is a matter of..." Huang Feng lowered his head, and his voice gradually became much quieter as he spoke.

Su Xuanyong frowned slightly, and snorted coldly, "Who is it!"

"It's... Your Majesty, die!"

Huang Feng, who was still trembling just now, raised his head slightly, his voice just fell, and the next moment, his body was like a cheetah, rushing out.

The hands that were covered by the wide robe suddenly cut through the robe, and a short knife that emitted a cold glow went straight to Su Xuanyong.

Huang Feng's violent murder was something that everyone present did not expect, and the forbidden troops on both sides reacted quickly and stretched out to control Huang Feng.

But the speed was a little slower, and he pounced.

The short knife that emitted a cold glow was about to stab Su Xuanyong's chest when suddenly, a crutch flew from behind.

smashed on Huang Feng's arm very accurately, Huang Feng's arm was in pain, and the blow of the crutch directly made the short knife stabbed out change the trajectory.

Wiped Su Xuanyong's sleeve robe in front of him.

Tear and pull.

Su Xuanyong's dragon robe was cut out of a big hole, but fortunately, he escaped Huang Feng's assassination.

One blow missed, and Huang Feng knew that he didn't have a second chance to make a move, when the forbidden army behind him was about to catch him.

A miserable smile appeared on his face, and the next moment, the short knife in his hand cut his neck directly.

Blood shot out, his eyes widened, and then his body went limp, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

However, in just a few breaths, Huang Feng died of anger.

The forbidden army who surrounded him had an ugly face, and then turned around and knelt down in front of Su Xuanyong, looking like he had admitted his mistake.

"It's because we didn't investigate and deal with it strictly, so that Your Majesty was so alarmed, the last general deserves to die, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

The duty of the forbidden army is to protect

The safety of the children of the royal family, especially the current Son of Heaven, is the top priority.

But this time, because of their negligence, they always felt that a eunuch could have much ability, so when they were taken down, they did not search their bodies according to the rules.

Who knows, it turned out to be this kind of thing, wasn't it at a critical moment, the sixth prince was quick and threw out the crutches in his hand, interrupting Huang Feng's attack route.

Otherwise, if you are really stabbed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As the emperor's personal soldiers, if something really happens to the emperor, they are afraid that they will not be able to redeem themselves.

Looking at the forbidden army who knelt down and confessed, Su Xuanyong did not embarrass them, waved his hand, and motioned to carry Huang Feng's body down.

He also knew that at such a tense moment just now, the Forbidden Army's reaction had been very fast, they had already done what they had to do, and there was no need to embarrass these loyal Forbidden Army.

The forbidden army saluted Su Xuanyong gratefully, and then carried Huang Feng's body down.

Su Xuanyong turned around and came to the side of the sixth prince who was in a wheelchair, and before he could speak, the voice of the sixth prince sounded,

"Father, are you alright?"

Su Xuanyong shook his head and said softly, "Father is fine, thanks to Kang'er just now, if it weren't for Kang'er, my father would be in danger."

"Father is polite, this is what Kang'er should do, I just hate Kang'er for being incompetent, incapacitated, unable to share for my father, I'm really ashamed."

Su Xuanyong shook his head, held Su Kang's hand and said, "Hey, Kang'er, don't blame yourself, your performance is in your heart, and your father understands your intentions."

"When this war is over, I will stay with my father for a while, and postpone returning to the southern fiefdom, you and I, father and son, have no time to nag for a long time."

Su Kang nodded, his eyes showing a little emotion.

Everyone in the hall came back to their senses from Huang Feng's surprise attack just now, and the people they knew well glanced at each other.

can feel that the sixth prince, who has been crippled for many years, has experienced what happened just now, and his relationship with Su Xuanyong has become closer and closer.

What does this mean? Will it add another unexpected variable to the future prince of the East Palace? No one can tell.

After all, this Emperor Da Liang, his mind is the most difficult to guess,

Su Xuanyong and the six princes talked, and no one present said anything to disturb them, waiting quietly.

After a while, Su Xuanyong turned around and looked at Chu Xiong and Wen Xuandao.

"Huang Feng's matter, the widow handed it over to the two of you, be sure to do everything possible to find out the person behind him for the widow, no matter who you remember, dig it out for the widow."

"The old minister's order." Chu Xiong and Wen Xuan nodded solemnly.

Just as Su Xuanyong was about to continue to say something, suddenly, outside the hall, the forbidden army stood at the door, and a low voice sounded.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the report from the front-line security forces, the wolf cavalry attacking Kyoto began to evacuate a few minutes ago, and the rescue of Tongguan is less than ten miles away from Kyoto."

"The second prince and the fourth prince sitting on the front line are leading all the soldiers to counterattack in an all-out counterattack, cooperate with reinforcements, and be sure to inflict heavy losses on the wolf cavalry."

"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"

This time, Su Xuanyong was completely relieved in his heart and laughed out loud.

Such a fierce battle will destroy the plans of the future heroes one by one.

In particular, Su Qi'an took Hangu Pass, the most important city pass.

All of a sudden, the situation of the two sides at least returned to a stalemate, which is what Su Xuanyong wanted to see.

It has been five days since the war was fought this time, and the reinforcements from the various states, according to the latest military reports, will arrive in three days at the latest. Look at the book

And back to the two sides in a stalemate, Su Xuanyong is very informative and can carry the next three days.

In this battle in Kyoto, as long as there are no accidents, we can already see the dawn of victory.

Su Xuanyong's laughter stopped, and he looked at everyone in front of him. "Let's go, let's go and welcome the arrival of reinforcements."

Su Xuanyong's proposal, His Royal Highness's ministers echoed one after another, and all of a sudden, the atmosphere in the palace became lively.

A group of ministers, accompanied by Su Xuanyong, went to another palace under the protection of the forbidden army.

It's just that in such a harmonious atmosphere, no one paid attention to it, Zheng Guogong and Zhao Guogong glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed doubts about each other.

This doubt quickly disappeared, followed Su Xuanyong, and gradually left the council hall.

The wolf cavalry that attacked Kyoto changed from the attacking side to the retreating side in the next quarter of an hour.

Although the second prince and the fourth prince took their security forces, forbidden troops, and guards from various prefectures to attack in an all-out way.

But the strength of the wolf cavalry is obvious to all, and it is unrealistic to kill them all.

After chasing more than ten miles of attack, he immediately returned to the city.

After all, the current victory is not a big victory, the wolf cavalry retreats quickly, and they scatter in all directions, they can't chase and win at all.

Even if you catch up, you don't know what the hell you will be taken to, and when the time comes, there will be an ambush and an ambush, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In this battle for the defense of Kyoto, the soldiers in Kyoto suffered heavy casualties, and it is roughly estimated that more than half of the 15,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, not counting the guards drawn from the prefectures.

All of them add up, at least 10,000 smaller, and the wolf cavalry on the opposite side has also suffered a lot of casualties.

Of the seven or eight thousand cavalrymen, about 4,000 were killed or wounded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were seriously injured.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides is almost two to one, and being able to achieve such a battle loss in the end is a victory for Da Liang.

With the retreat of the wolf cavalry and the support of Tongguan reinforcements, the crisis in Kyoto can be temporarily resolved.

The whole city of Kyoto has gone from being nervous at the beginning to being excited now.

After a battle with the wolf cavalry, the casualties were very large, but from another point of view, it was a lot of morale.

Even the frightened people in the city are now excited, and if they need it, they will definitely give their full support if they can help.

After all, their majesty, as well as many powerful people, did not abandon them, and fought hard to defend Kyoto, which they witnessed with their own eyes.

It can be said that the atmosphere in Kyoto Castle today is unprecedentedly united.

It's just that compared to the bustle of Kyoto, the atmosphere in the imperial city, in a large hall where powerful ministers were entertained, was quite bad.

It should be said that it was a quarrel, but the quarrel was quite intense, and it meant a big fight.
