Chapter Thirty-Four: Fleeing North
Empress Dowager Jiang's heart first felt impossible, because King Yanghua should be going to confront Zhuang Xun's Xia Kingdom, how could it be here.
Even if Zhuang Xun captured Chengdian Pass, it would take more than ten days for the two sides to fight, how could King Yanghua's army have time to come here.
But it wasn't her turn to believe it, the smoke and dust were billowing in front of her, and the clothes of the army were all from King Yanghua's army, and the march was neat, like a well-trained army.
Could it be that King Yanghua didn't resist Zhuang Xun?
When she thought about it, she suddenly opened up, but she felt that it was impossible.
Zhuang Xun is the orthodoxy of Chan Rang to obtain Yudi, and it is an irreconcilable contradiction with these three brothers, because to recognize Zhuang Xun is to admit that he has lost his country.
Finally, she was convinced that King Yanghua had returned to Zhuang Xun, very simply, because King Yanghua's current army was protected by national fortune.
The national fortune of Yu State cannot shelter the army, and now the army of King Yanghua has the protection of national fortune, it is obvious that he is no longer the army of Yu State, and what can be known at present is that Jizhou has two countries with national fortune, one is Cheng Guo and the other is Xia Guo.
The leaders of the peasant army did not have the emperor's favor, and they themselves had no national fortune, and the three kings did not have any national fortune, because the national fortune was beheaded.
The army of King Yanghua, which was at war with the Xia Kingdom, now has the protection of national fortune, so needless to say, the result is obvious.
"It's really a waste, no wonder King Yu is willing to pass it on to outsiders rather than to pass it on to you."
Empress Dowager Jiang sighed, Bing Xue was smart, she thought a little, and with a target, the truth was deduced without much effort.
When I came to Yu State, I talked with Ge Guoshi, he was not optimistic about any of these princes, it was not unreasonable, so he surrendered and depended, and he didn't have the courage to fight, no wonder he wanted to pass on the throne to Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun can still escape in the face of the top temptation of Zhao State, and wants to get out of a big road by himself, although Zhuang Xun is a toad who defiles himself, but compared to these people, he still looks like a monarch.
After sighing, thinking that Zhuang Xun wanted to occupy the advantage, occupy Yin Du, and control the entire Yu country by radiation, she was a little uncomfortable.
Although a nail of King Donghua was buried, it was also an inevitable situation and a helpless choice.
Seeing Zhuang Xun become bigger and stronger, she wanted to curb it, but she had no more bargaining chips, so she could only use the Donghua King card position, which could only be regarded as delaying the speed of Zhuang Xun's integration of Jizhou.
Thinking about Zhuang Xun and exchanging the northwest of the secluded land, now he is really in high spirits, and he is laughing all day, and the Empress Dowager Jiang is even more uncomfortable, because she thinks of his smile in front of her.
Zhuang Xun's smile corresponded to the humiliation of Empress Dowager Jiang, and I couldn't forget Zhuang Xun taking off her clothes with a smile on his face, and I felt cold when I thought about it.
However, if you are uncomfortable, you will not be comfortable, and Empress Dowager Jiang has not made any special revenge, she is not a child, this incident itself is the result of her own killer, and if she is uncomfortable, she is anxious to retaliate back, and she will only lose more.
Impulse once is enough, she still has business, she wants to maintain the balance of Jizhou, and will not cause more trouble to Zhao Guo, Zhuang Xun let her go, she didn't stop for a moment, she gave Donghua Wang a counselor, and with the help of the contradiction between Li Pingyuan and Zhuang Xun, let Donghua Wang stick to it.
She stayed in the air, thinking about how to continue to maintain the equality of power in Jizhou, thinking of Zhuang Xun, thinking of the peasant army that was now crazy, thinking of King Donghua, and finally thinking of Chengguo.
Thinking of the contradiction between this pair of Weng sons-in-law, I had some ideas, but I still had to verify it, and I glanced at the marching army again.
Empress Dowager Jiang flew to the north, she wanted to see Li Pingyuan, the peasant army who was indulging in pleasure had not yet realized that the catastrophe was coming, where could they care about any intelligence scouts, and they had long been fascinated by the world of flowers.
When they reacted, King Yanghua's army had already arrived in the city, and some of these people were full of confidence, and some felt that great disaster was coming.
Naturally, Qin Dahe, who was full of confidence, felt that he had more than 300,000 homeless troops, and the army of King Yanghua outside was 100,000 people, who had the advantage, and he didn't understand?
In addition, the evacuation of King Donghua gave him great confidence, King Donghua's 200,000 troops were afraid that he would run away, and King Yanghua had 100,000 people, and the three of them fought one, isn't it his advantage?
It was too easy to seize the royal capital, and the world avoided it, so people were also a little floating, and they were going to do a big job after gathering the soldiers and horses of the newly sealed kings, preparing to set up a battle to defeat the army of King Yanghua.
This made Lu Buming, who suggested that he should defend the city, extremely panicked, because the other party was not in the name of King Yang Hua of Yu Guo, but a letter of persuasion sent in the name of Xia Guozhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun Lu Buming was too familiar, and he stood in line with Yang Xiang in order to frame him, but he failed to frame him, but he lost face in the upper aristocracy.
He didn't believe that Zhuang Xun would forget his person who framed him, because he didn't have a chance before, but now it's in the hands of Zhuang Xun, so there's no need to think about it.
But he didn't listen to his persuasion at all, and some people even questioned whether he wanted to besiege everyone in the city.
Because just the 100,000 people of King Yanghua can be wiped out quickly, if they wait for Zhuang Xun's army to besiege Yin Du together, there will be no such a good chance at that time.
said that there are many words, it may be that I have read too many romance books, and everyone feels that they can be like the founding generals of romance books, and win more with less.
The current situation is 300,000 against 100,000, the advantage is in me, do you still want to hold on to the city, guard and wait for death, now is a good time to start to unify the Yu country, the army of King Yanghua is coming, one by one, eager to grab the first credit.
These people have fought with the officers and soldiers before, and they have won a lot of battles, and now they have such a big advantage, not to crush the enemy, but also to give the enemy a chance to gather, is this like words?
What they said is right, Lu Buming's purpose is not simple, that is, to make them wait for death, wait for the army of Chengguo and the king of Henan, and let the king of Henan occupy the capital of Yin first.
Speaking of this, Lu Buming couldn't say anything, and Qin Dahe, who had already floated, had already ordered these his brothers to prepare for a decisive battle with King Yanghua, and Lu Buming could only watch them take the initiative to send them to death, because if he was persuaded again, his identity as a traitor would be exposed.
But he really knows how great the ability of the forbidden army is, this rabble has no chance of winning, and it is foreseeable that the day after tomorrow will be a stampede and massacre.
He could only go home in a panic, the chaos along the way, just stopped for two days, because he heard that the enemy army was coming, and it became chaotic again, he ignored the injustice of the world, told the coachman to speed up, and hurry home.
When he got home and got out of the carriage, Lu Buming felt a little chilly, and he didn't know if the weather was colder again.
After all, the end of autumn is about to enter winter, and it is normal for the weather to be colder, and it is difficult for him to admit that the cold in his heart is even worse, because the future is uncertain.
Yu Guo is here, he is the prince of Yu Guo, the son of a loyal martyr, Yu Guo is not here, he is not bullshit, and now he can only rely on fame to protect himself a little.
When he came home, he was accustomed to going to his mother to say goodbye, Zhao's expression was happy, and when he saw him come in, he said: "I heard that King Yanghua's army is coming, son, we are saved." ”
Although he is not the king of Henan, he is the king of Yuguo, and he wants to make people feel more secure than these bandits and hooligans.
Zhao also felt that the days of swallowing his anger were about to pass, so his eyebrows were all smiling, and the smile made the corners of his eyebrows become a slit, which looked like he could trap flies.
Lu Buming reminded stubbornly: "King Yanghua has surrendered to Zhuang Xun, and now it is Zhuang Xun who is crusading against the peasant army. ”
"Huh? What is the banker? Zhao didn't react for a while, because his impression of Zhuang Xun faded with the stability of the past few years.
She didn't have any political acumen in the first place, and Zhuang Xun hardly appeared in the field of vision of their upper nobles, after all, she had already tacitly left the political circle before.
Zhuang Xun has left Yin Du, half of which is exiled, and it is only this year that the follow-up momentum has become louder, and it is a little far away from the circle of these people in the Zhao family, even if Zhuang Xun is crowned king, there is only one impression when it comes to it.
"Zhuang Xun who asked the child to accuse at the longevity banquet before to facilitate Yang Xiang's eradication." Lu Buming explained slightly, using landmark events to evoke Zhao's memories.
Zhao pondered, and then suddenly realized, and thought of something, and said in horror: "Why did King Yanghua vote for him, he didn't deal with our family, he came to our house to make a scene before, and was sent away by us, and then he raised filial piety, awarded the festival degree, and named the king, and now he is back?" ”
Remember, Zhao's expression is not good-looking, between the two sides, there is still hatred, this hatred is not small.
"Not only that, but the news has just been spread that the Holy Lord has given him the throne, and now he is the emperor of Yu State, and in this way, King Yanghua will surrender and submit."
Lu Buming continued to break the news and said that this was also recently discovered, Yu Wangchan gave the throne to Zhuang Xun, and he was stunned when he heard the news, and his first reaction was impossible.
Similarly, Zhao's reaction was similar, muttering about the impossibility in his mouth, and he couldn't believe it: "Could it be really the illegitimate son of King Yu, how can it be like this, what should we do now, what should we do." ”
"The illegitimate son should recognize the lord and return to the sect, now Zhuang Xun has inherited the throne and changed the name of the country to Xia, it seems that King Yanghua has surrendered to him, so he came to attack Yin Du."
Lu Buming smiled bitterly, seeing that the enemy was climbing up step by step, and now he had become an existence that he couldn't provoke, and his mood was quite complicated.
"We've framed him, and he won't let us go, son, what can we do?" Pushing herself and others, Zhao is a little stupid, and she doesn't believe it if she expects people to repay her with virtue.
"Only if we escape, we should be safe when we flee to His Royal Highness the King of Henan." Lu Buming doesn't have any good way, in this national capital, he can't control the operation of power at all.
"How do you get out?" Zhao suddenly had hope, and his eyes lit up like a light bulb.
"My son made an appointment with Han Yaoquan, that is, one of the leaders of these peasant armies, he is one of the few sober, he will assist us in escaping, mother, you pack up carefully, don't too much, it's not good to escape when the time comes."
Lu Buming got up again and went to change into a set of clothes, and after a while, someone reported that Han Yaoquan was here.
"Crazy, these people are really crazy, they want to fight their own shrimp soldiers and crab generals with the regular army." Han Yaoquan's mind is sober, or he himself is an official.
Han Yaoquan knew very well what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates his subordinates were, what kind of so-called officers and soldiers he won, and how strong the army he was facing now, so as soon as he retreated, he complained.
"I can't persuade them, I originally wanted to persuade them to hold on, and wait until His Royal Highness the King of Henan and Taishi Li came, but these people are too arrogant, so they will definitely lose, and even if they win the 100,000 forbidden army, Zhuang Xun will raise 200,000 troops to attack Yu State."
Lu Buming also complained that he was just a vase, used to buy people's hearts, how could the real decision-making listen to him, and go coolly.
"I also understand your helplessness, but now it has reached this point, don't you see that Zhuang Xun and Taishi Li are not in-laws? Can we surrender the Xia army? ”
Han Yaoquan has a flexible brain and puts forward a proposal, all of them surrender, they all enjoy the glory and wealth after surrender, who can't vote, they can vote.
It is not bad to take refuge in Zhuang Xun, the other party has the throne of King Yu Chan, which is the orthodoxy of Yu State, and he can make some good money by taking refuge himself.
When the strength is strong, you notice the problem of orthodoxy, and you are all looking for reasons, and the most convincing reason for yourself is nothing more than that you can't beat your brothers who want to sell them in exchange for some reward.
Of course, Han Yaoquan didn't treat the rest of the rebel army as brothers, all for his own future, all for the glory and wealth of the future.
"No, no, Taishi Li has already had a gap with Zhuang Xun, I can't contact him, I can only contact the king of Henan, and the orthodoxy of my country only has and only His Royal Highness the King of Henan, where is His Royal Highness the King of Henan in this way."
Lu Buming hurriedly shook his head, making up nonsense, mainly to surrender Zhuang Xun, he was afraid of being liquidated, Zhuang Xun's hateful gaze at the longevity banquet He still remembers, he has not been missing in the impeachment of Zhuang Xun over the years, he doesn't trust Zhuang Xun to let him go.
"What does that mean? If the war starts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will definitely not be able to defeat the army of King Yanghua. Han Yaoquan was a little embarrassed, and looked at Lu Buming with his eyes.
"Let me flee to the north, the king of Henan is in the north, I will definitely speak well for the general, there may be a battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we will flee tonight."
Lu Buming begged that he didn't want to and couldn't surrender Zhuang Xun, so he had to flee and wanted to pull Han Zhengquan.
"But I still have a lot of brothers under me, or you go first, pass a message for me first, and take advantage of those fools to fight with Xia Guo, and then I will take my brothers away." Han Yaoquan was a little embarrassed, and then made a decision.
"That's fine, I'll leave tonight, and I'm going to bother the general to open a convenient door and let me go." Lu Buming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could go.
"It's easy to say, and I want to ask the prince to speak a lot in front of the two adults."
