The news of the destruction of the city by the Rong army reached Kyoto on the second day, and by this time the city had already gathered troops from all over the city.

The main hall of the Kyoto Imperial Palace was also reactivated, and Xiao Jiu and Xia Ming were invited to the meeting by Gu Chongdu in Yuzhou.

In the main hall, Yun Bi sat on a seat under the dragon chair, while Xiao Jiu and the others also sat on the chairs that were moved, and the accompanying generals were all standing behind their respective princes.

"Since you are all gathered at this time, you are all loyal to the country, and I don't want to mention some of the past, and now I have only one purpose for summoning you, that is, to drive the Rong people out of the customs."

In the silent hall, Yun Bi's voice was as cold as ever, but there was no doubt in his tone.

This was naturally said to Gu Chong, after all, the two sides were still fighting each other before, and now sitting together there are inevitably some unsolvable knots in their hearts.

Since Gu Chong was able to come to Kyoto with the Yuzhou Rebel Army, it can also show that he is a person who takes the overall situation into account, but since he came, he still has to fight for his own rights and interests.

Gu Chong slowly spoke after Yun Bi finished speaking, "General Yun, whether you will turn the page on the past after today, Yuzhou needs to be corrected after all." ”

As soon as Gu Chong's words came out, Yun Bi, who was sitting at the top, showed a slight anger on his face.

Although it was almost expected that Gu Chong would talk about the ownership of Yuzhou at this time, the two sides had fought to the death before, and his face was somewhat unbearable.

Just directly promised Gu Chong that he nominally recognized the righteousness of the Yuzhou rebel army, so what is their forbidden army? After all, Yunbi is still under the banner of recovering the country.

Thinking of this, even if Yun Bi admitted the justice of the Yuzhou rebel army, he had to show an angry look.

I saw Yun Bi slam the table and roar, "Are you threatening me?" ”

Yun Bi asked, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became full of gunpowder, and the guards behind him also pulled out their blades glowing with cold light at this time.

The rebel army from Yuzhou was also not to be outdone, and also reacted quickly and pulled out their weapons.

Gu Chong is over seventy years old, and he has seen more winds and waves, so he naturally will not show timidity at this time, and meet Yun Bi's fire-breathing gaze without fear.

"General Yun, Elder Gu, we are here to discuss matters, not to fight."

Xiao Jiudi's voice appeared slowly, and it was very clear in the hall where the needle could be heard.

Regarding his identity as a peacemaker, Xiao Jiu had reached a consensus with the governor of Jizhou long before he came, and they all knew that it was impossible for the two sides to really fight.

It's just that Yun Bi needs a step, and Gu Chong also wants to take this opportunity to shake hands with the forbidden army represented by Yun Bi.

Sure enough, after Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Gu Chong gently raised his hand and signaled his entourage to put away his weapons, and Yun Bi also did the same after the other party put them away.

The atmosphere was once again at a stalemate, and Xia Ming, who had been watching the play on the side for a long time, also got up and said, "Now that the Rong army is pressing, if you still want to attack each other like before, wouldn't it be a good idea for the enemy to take advantage." ”

After Xia Ming finished speaking, the atmosphere eased a lot a bit, and then Xiao Jiu took advantage of the victory to pursue the supplement.

"As far as I know, although Elder Gu Chong was born in the people, he also has a lot of prestige in Yuzhou, and he has also done a lot of good deeds for the people of Yuzhou."

"At present, there are more disputes in the world, and it is necessary for people with high moral and respected values to maintain the situation, and in my opinion, Elder Gu can completely serve as the governor of Yuzhou."

After speaking, Xiao Jiujing sat in his own seat, waiting for Yun Bi to respond, not mentioning that his Xiao Zi camp was temporarily withdrawn from outside Yuzhou City.

When Yun Bi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised by Xiao Jiu's cheekiness, after all, saying these words against his heart without changing his face also required excellent psychological quality.

I saw Yun Bi hanging his head and pondering for a long time, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly shook his head, "No, I have no right to appoint or dismiss the position of governor." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the main hall looked up at Yun Bi who was sitting on the main seat.

"It's useless to give you a chance, can you stop the Rong clan on your own?"

At this time, Xiao Jiu also kept complaining in his heart, Yun Bi was a little unsure, and he was not happy to give him the stairs, did he have to fall into a dead net and let the Rong clan sit and reap the profits?

Gu Chong also stared at Yun Bi who was contemplative at this time, and the expression on his face did not change much.

After all, there are still more than 10,000 Yuzhou rebel troops stationed outside Kyoto, and some soldiers are on their way to Kyoto.

Although Gu Chong's heart was most worried about the Rong clan on the grassland, if Yunbi still couldn't recognize the situation, they could also teach him how to behave first.

This is the confidence that comes with having soldiers in hand!!

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on i Yunbi, Yunbi, who was sitting on the main seat, licked his dry lips and slowly spoke.

"Although I can't appoint Mr. Gu as the governor of Yuzhou, I have allowed you to join the Yuzhou Army and exercise the affairs of managing the military and politics of Yuzhou, I don't know what Mr. Gu thinks?"

Yun Bi is not a rough man who does not understand politics, on the contrary, he has experienced many bloody coups and is especially cunning in dealing with some things.

Now the Yuzhou rebel army has occupied Yuzhou for a long time, and Yuzhou has long been in a state of autonomy.

Now Yun Bi threw out an olive branch, which can whitewash the rebel army in Yuzhou, but they also have to pay the corresponding price.

That is, they will lose the justice of the rebellion, and what they have done before is no longer to overthrow the dynasty, but to fight within the kingdom.

Gu Chong fell into a difficult choice, and all the generals who came with him also waited with bated breath for Gu Chong's decision.

Yun Bi became unhurried anymore, and stroked his smooth chin with his hand and waited for Gu Chong's answer.

"Yes."

About ten minutes passed, and Gu Chong gave his answer.

From then on, although it was impossible for them to really be absorbed by Yun Bi, nominally they all became officials of Great Xia, and they still ate the food of the official family.

Such a decision was somewhat unexpected, but after careful consideration, it felt reasonable.

The contradiction was temporarily resolved, and everyone began to sit down to formally discuss the war arrangements against the Rong army.

Although the Rong people are menacing, after all, they are from outside the Guan, and they are even more in Boyi County to implement the three-light policy of burning, killing and looting, so they are invaders in the eyes of the people in the Guan.

Compared with the alliance of princes in the pass, they have a natural disadvantage in numbers, even if they recruit some civilians from the local area to serve as cannon fodder for war, they can't make up for this shortcoming.

What really made Yun Bi jealous was the 20,000 Rong cavalry.

If they want to drive the Rong people who entered the customs back to the outside of the pass, field battles cannot be avoided, but once the recruits of the forbidden army who have little combat experience under their command encounter the meat grinder-like cavalry, even if they use their lives to pile up, there will not necessarily be results.

Yun Bi was a little helpless about this, after all, their cavalry was not comparable to the Rong tribe at all.

Now there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the Zhili area, but if this group of cavalry is allowed to charge from the flank, they will only end up in defeat.

For this kind of situation, Xiao Jiu naturally had already expected it, and now was not the time to hide it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to look at."

When Xiao Jiu said this sentence confidently, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, but Xiao Jiu has always had novel ideas since his debut, so it's not strange to see it.

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the palace and went to the Xiao Ziying station, and Xiao Jiu also showed them the secret weapon against the cavalry.

Tripwires and mines.

Everyone is no stranger to the previous thing, but it is just an iron cable made of thick iron wires, and you can know the purpose after a little thought.

It's just that the mines that are placed on the plate, what does it have to do with the cavalry.

"Look, everyone, this is a mine, and that's how my plan ,......"

……

Time passed quickly, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, counting the 30,000 horses from behind Yuzhou, at this time more than 150,000 soldiers had gathered in the Zhili area.

However, Wanzhou and Xuzhou were still in a wait-and-see attitude at this time, and did not send troops to aid the war in Zhili.

Regarding this, although Yun Bi was not angry in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

The preparations of the princes of Kannai were almost complete, and the army of the Rong tribe also began to set off from Boyi County, and the troops were directed towards Kyoto City.

A big war is poised to start, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

After the looting of the Rong army in Boyi County, many civilians were forcibly recruited into the army as cannon fodder, which can be regarded as temporarily filling the previous vacancy.

After the army entered the Kyoto area, Zong Yu did not directly order the siege of Kyoto City, but scattered the cavalry and sent it down to sack the villages and towns below.

This was a regular temptation before the war began, and it was also to force the troops in Kyoto Castle to go out of the city and fight them in the field.

As a nomadic people on the grassland, the Rong people are not good at construction and production, and the tall city walls built by the Bactria people have also become the biggest obstacle to their invasion.

In just one Boyi county town, Zong Yu's Rong army has already lost many elite grassland warriors, and if they attack Kyoto City, which is well-armed, they will be defeated.

Thinking about this clearly, Zong Yu began their ancestral craft of the Rong clan, guerrilla warfare.

By slaughtering the people of Kyoto, cutting off the supply of Kyoto Castle, and forcing the other side to fight a decisive battle.

Sure enough, on the second day after Zong Yu allowed the Rong cavalry to ravage the Central Plains, there was a move in Kyoto City.

First of all, Yun Bi sent the cavalry in the city to conduct small-scale battles against the small groups of cavalry teams wandering around, but they soon ushered in the encirclement and suppression of the other party.

After a brief trial, the armies of Kyoto began to leave the city one after another, encamping not far outside the city.

Seeing the Central Plains soldiers who had been cowering in the city go out of the city, due to the large number of people, Zong Yu did not immediately order the cavalry to attack.

Because he knew that since the other party chose to camp outside the city, he was ready for a decisive battle.

In addition, the place where the other party camped was under Kyoto Castle and could return to the city at any time, so robbing the camp was not a good choice at this time.
