Chapter 198: Troubled Times: Prince Ambition
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you really decided to do this?" Cai Zhong took a trembling step forward with a cane in his hand.
"Grandpa! The grandson has already thought that if he doesn't do this, the throne of Dawu will change hands sooner or later. "Dongfang is ruthless.
Present! There are only two people who pose the greatest threat to his throne! Far away in the north Liangdong Yu, and in the east of Luzhou, the two of them! One man defeated the Xiongnu and won a great victory; The great victory of one person in expelling the Japanese Kou, the credit of the two is not comparable to any prince, even he, the crown prince, cannot be compared.
"Grandpa! Prime Minister Ye, when things come to this point, the only way to do it is to gamble. Don't forget, in our hands, with the help of the deputy commander Guo Jiang, we will definitely be able to take the Xuande Gate, and then take the corridor, directly take the occupation, and drive Wang Mingzhang, Zhao Shiyan and others! ”
Not bad! Dongfang Zhi has imprisoned Emperor Xuanwu in the Taiqing Palace, and! Send heavy troops, and no one can get in. After Emperor Xuanwu was imprisoned, the entire palace was completely divided into two factions.
One faction is dominated by ministers such as Wang Mingzhang, Zhao Shiyan, and Jiang Li! They have Jiangli's 30,000 forbidden troops, but the city gate is occupied by the prince Dongfang Zhi and is strictly guarded, and it is difficult for their scouts to spread the news of the prince's rebellion to Kunguan!
The other faction is the prince, Cai Zhong and others, this guy not only took down a forbidden army of 20,000 people, but also the 30,000 horses of the city defense army, and he also controlled it.
It can be said! In terms of advantages, the strength of the princelings has far exceeded that of Wang Mingzhang and others, but the only difference is that under Wang Mingzhang's command, he is basically a general who can fight well.
It's still incredibly difficult.
Of course! The reason why Dongfang Zhi was able to come to this point, in addition to the pressure brought by the King of Qin and the King of Qi, the main reason was because the general died in battle, and the pillar of the country of Wu died, and those soldiers who served the general were suddenly incorporated into Wang Mingzhang's command, which was naturally a little unconvinced.
Even! Falling apart, with Wang Mingzhang's ability, it is naturally difficult to control.
In addition, the news that he colluded with foreign thieves and joined forces to attack the army seems to be exposed, I don't know why? It reached the ears of Emperor Xuanwu, and under the anger of Emperor Xuanwu, he already had the mind of abolishing the prince. This made him, who was originally on pins and needles for the position of the prince, a dose of fierce medicine.
"With 30,000 city defense troops and 20,000 forbidden troops, we have most of Luo Qi's troops, but Wang Mingzhang has most of Luo Qi's generals! In fact! The two armies are considered to be of similar strength. ”
"Prince! It's fine if it succeeds, but if it fails! The Luoqi Imperial Capital will usher in a great purge of the family, which is the price of blood, and it will definitely flow into a river of blood. This is what the foreigners want to see the most. Cai Zhong was worried, but also kindly reminded.
Let alone! In which position is Emperor Xuanwu, he has been sitting for twenty years, and Emperor Xuanwu, who is in the prime of life, is not a problem if he continues to live for more than ten years according to this physical condition.
The problem is that he may not be able to survive these ten years with his old bones. The Cai family, without him, is bound to plummet, this is exactly what Emperor Xuanwu wants to see, once this is the case! The Cai family is bound to be eradicated by Emperor Xuanwu by all means.
Both horizontally and vertically are dead, so it's better to take a risk and help the new emperor to ascend to the throne. So! The martial kingdom is immortal, and the glory of the Cai family can continue for at least a hundred years.
Now! In the case of the death of the great general Liu Wenlong, the status of the Liu family has plummeted, and it has fallen from the first family in the capital to the end. Of course! Liu Wen abandoned the text and followed the martial arts, with a strong military talent, not losing to his father at all, and! With an army of 20,000 in his hands, Gong Weiyang Tiger Pass, its power! It's still not to be underestimated.
"Grandpa rest assured! My grandson is sure to win! As long as Kunguan Guo Yi and Guo Denger will not return, Yanghu Guan Liu's article will not return, Xuandemen... It will be won for me, then! The crown prince ascended the throne again, fabricated the reason for the emperor's death, and announced it to the world, so! I will be able to succeed to the throne and become the co-ruler of the world. "Dongfang Zhi has already thought about the situation of becoming the emperor himself.
"Humph!"
"Prince...... No! Your Majesty rest assured! Guo Yi Guo Deng, my two younger brothers, will not come back! The guards of Kuoguan can rest assured. Seeing the situation, Guo Jiang immediately changed his name to Dongfang Zhi.
The word Your Majesty, but Dongfang Zhi laughed badly, "Hahaha~ Deputy Commander Guo, you little mouth, this king likes it!" After I ascend the throne, I will make you the commander of the forbidden army and the commander of the military army. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Deng was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and bowed.
……
In the Xuande Gate, Wang Mingzhang, Jiang Li, Zhao Shiyan, Gu Jiu and others stood at the gate of the city, holding a map, analyzing the surrounding geographical location.
"Xuande Gate is not a place that is easy to know and difficult to attack, even if we occupy a good geographical location, we will hold on for seven days at most." Wang Mingzhang said helplessly.
"Why? Wang Sima, don't we still have an army of 20,000! Stick to ten days and half a month, there should be no problem! Zhao Shiyan said.
Oh, yes! 30,000 horses, according to the geographical location, can indeed block the prince's army from the Xuande Gate, and there is no problem for half a month.
Jiang Li Zou frowned and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't know, we don't have much grain and grass, and we can last for eight or nine days at most!" But the most important thing is that His Majesty is in the hands of the prince, and the reason why the prince does not dare to kill the king is because we occupy the Jiwu Palace. ”
"But if the prince passes on a false notice in the name of His Majesty, in order to tell the world, and bite back, we will be the rebels who make trouble, and then! I just don't want to go back, and I have to go back. Even if he is dead, he will have to be infamous as an anti-thief on his head. ”
Truly! Jiang Li is right, when the time comes! What do they use to gag the mouths of the world?
Those of them who are loyal ministers are the most unsightly of their families being rebellious.
Zhao Shiyan was anxious and asked, "Two generals, now!" How can we be good. ”
Although Zhao Shiyan opposes the rebellion of the crown prince, he! I don't want to be infamous as a thief for my family.
"Urgent! I had to ask for reinforcements. ”
"Although we can't get in touch with Guo Deng, Guo Yi and General Liu Wenwen, it is still possible to ask for help from outside. King Qin, King of Qi, King Yan, King of Chu, King Chen, among the five kings, King Qin, King of Qi, King of Yan, are closest to us, and! Three days ago, I had already sent people to sneak out of the city and rush eight hundred miles to the five kings. ”
"Estimate! With an expedited speed of 800 miles, in another day or two, the news can be transmitted to the King of Qin, the King of Qi, the King of Yan and others. Wang Mingzhang had a solemn expression.
"I don't know! The king will come to the king! Zhao Shiyan sighed.
"Don't worry! Other kings may not come, but the kings of Qin and Qi will come. Wang Mingzhang said with an oath.
This is not boasting about Haikou, but with his eyes on people, looking at the world, there are only two people who can be called the overlord.
