Volume 1 The Emperors of the North and the South Chapter 46 The Emperor's Sorrows
If the surplus is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow, which is the eternal truth.
For Zhang Tianxi, it was originally a smooth sailing situation, but the past two days have become a little bad.
Although the Nanxuan Mansion was broken, Zeng Xu, the monarch of the mansion, held on to a Buddhist temple with a remnant of soldiers, and actually defended it for three days.
"This Zeng Xu doesn't know what to do," Zhang Tianxi was a little irritated and folded the fold handed by the palace man and threw it aside, and his whole body collapsed on the big chair in the palace: "I attack the city, and I still need someone to govern it, does he really think that I will kill him completely?"
The purpose of the war was never to kill, Zhang Tianxi sent Liu Qianfang to capture Nanxuanfu, he wanted to bring Nanxuanfu under the rule of Xuandu, who would want Zeng Xu's head? What he was thinking about was the property, population, and strength of Nanxuanfu.
"His Majesty's suddenness, Zeng Xu was already weak, and it was reasonable to be frightened. ”
Sha Xuehong sat aside, waved his hand and motioned to the palace people who were waiting on the side to go down, he was also a little tired, after all, this foundation was at the beginning of the grass, even if he had great confidence to eat Nanxuanfu before the war, he was worried about it for a few days, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked at Zhang Tianxi like this, and then comforted: "The edict of persuasion has been sent to the front line overnight, Qianfang is a calm person, rest assured." ”
Zhang Tianxi played with the armrest of the chaise longue carved with rare wood with one hand, and said: "It's not that I'm not worried about the pious side, but I just feel that I've paid too much price along the way, and I don't want to suffer any more setbacks." ”
"It's only been more than a year, before this I was still the little marquis who hid his head and tail, eldest brother, you are undercover in the military department of Chenghua Mansion, Pei Laosan opened his martial arts hall, and Liu Yu lingered in the hook bar and Vanity Fair all day long, although it was to prepare for today, it was also a rare and stable day. ”
"It wasn't until I lost my two good brothers that I truly realized what it was like to be a true dragon son and a lonely man, but fortunately, I still have my eldest brother, master, and Qianfang to support me, otherwise it would be really difficult to support myself. ”
Sha Xuehong lowered his head, his face was full of shame, he didn't understand that he and Zhang Tianxi could have the supreme position today, because they stepped on the corpses of their brothers.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said hurriedly: "Liu Yu! Liu Yu has not heard from him, and he may not have been caught yet." ”
They failed that day, and in desperation, they received Wang Fuchao's secret help, but they could only give up Liu Yu, who was responsible for answering.
With Han Hui's methods, even if they don't want to admit it, they have to face the result that Liu Yu is likely to be caught without knowing it.
But since they escaped from Chenghua Mansion, they have never received any news about Liu Yu, even if they recently relied on an eyeliner of Tu Yaosong to make an unannounced visit to Chenghua Mansion, no trace of Liu Yu has been found.
In other words, Liu Yu still has a glimmer of hope for survival.
Sha Xuehong mentioned this, Zhang Tianxi also came to the spirit, Liu Yu trapped in Chenghua Mansion, has always been a piece of his heart disease, with his official ascension to the throne, this heart disease is growing day by day, teaching him that sometimes it is difficult to sleep and eat, if there is a chance to rescue Liu Yu, he will definitely spare no effort to do it.
"Today's Chenghua Mansion is still a dangerous place for us, even Tu Yaosong's eyeliner doesn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to check, Liu Yu has no news, it is very likely that he will still stay in Chenghua Mansion, if you want to save him, you can only send a few masters to sneak in, and take Liu Yu out of the city quickly before being discovered by Han Hui's minions. ”
A sinister plan is brewing in Zhang Tianxi's heart, and he will never allow his brother Liu Yu to end up with the same fate as Pei Shifeng.
"In addition to Liu Yu, there is one more thing. Sha Xuehong calmed down her agitated mood and said, "The spies reported that Lu Yiping of Hongchuan Pass led an army of 50,000 troops, and the destination seemed to be Chenghua Mansion. ”
"Lu Yiping?" Zhang Tianxi looked puzzled: "What does he want to do? Could it be that he also wants to capture Chenghua Mansion and establish himself as the king?"
"It shouldn't be possible," Sha Xuehong said: "Although Lu Yiping is unruly, he has had a good relationship with the royal family for many years, and 50,000 people can't defeat Han Hui, so there is no reason to attack Chenghuafu." ”
Lu Yiping, like the dead Liu Bin, is also one of the five tiger generals in Dayue, nicknamed "Dragon King", and his army is called the Red Dragon Army, guarding Hongchuan Pass, and Wuxian Pass, in Zhang Yue's dynasty, it has been out of the control of Chenghua Mansion, and it has become a country on the border, with huge power, but it still maintains an ambiguous relationship with the royal family, especially with Han Hui, although Zhang Yunlan did not obey the orders of Chenghua Mansion in the past ten years, but every year he paid a lot of tribute to military weapons and money, and he was also diligent in guarding the frontier, and did not let the neighboring Tianhu Empire cross the border one step.
"There's only one possibility. ”
Zhang Tianxi and Sha Xuehong's eyes intertwined, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"This Lu Yiping, I'm afraid he is going to join forces with Chenghua Mansion to deal with us. ”
Zhang Tianxi's speculation is not groundless, but because since Liu Bin's death, the Wuxian Pass under his jurisdiction has been in chaos, and several leaders in the army disagreed, some advocated handing over Wuxian Pass to Chenghua Mansion in exchange for Han Hui's forgiveness, and some advocated resisting to the end and avenging Liu Bin.
The two factions are arguing endlessly, and a fire is about to start.
But at this time, Lu Yiping personally led 200,000 Red Dragon troops to Wuxian Pass, and there were also several leaders of the real power faction in the Yellow Wolf Army who immediately surrendered to Lu Yiping.
In this way, in less than half a month, Lu Yiping brought Wuxian Pass into his own forces.
The strange thing is that Han Hui, who has always been reluctant to let the Five Tiger generals become bigger, surprisingly did not react, and those defectors in the Yellow Wolf Army also seemed to have colluded with Lu Yiping a long time ago.
This had to make Zhang Tianxi wonder if Lu Yiping had reached any agreement with Han Hui a long time ago, so that after they escaped from Chenghua Mansion, even Wuxian Pass might cause chaos due to Liu Bin's death, and it was already in this plan.
Lu Yiping's move to Chenghua Mansion now made him confirm his guess.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Zhang Tianxi said calmly: "If he, Lu Yiping, chooses to stand aside with Han Hui, he can only clean them up together." ”
Sha Xuehong looked at Zhang Tianxi, he knew that as an emperor at this time, Zhang Tianxi would never and would never show weakness.
The road ahead is still unknown, but it will be dangerous.
......
At night, the weather in Xuandu is hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes, which is really not very comfortable.
The east gate that originally belonged to Xuanwu Mansion was now renamed Danfeng Gate, because it happened to be on the map with Liao Bailian's mansion to expand into a line of the palace, and the middle was full of roads, and there were no other buildings to block it, so it was renamed Danfeng, and it was taken the meaning of "Danfeng Chaoyang".
The army is fighting in Nanxuanfu, as the base camp of Xuandu, at this time the whole city is on alert, beware of being robbed by the rest of the forces, and this can face the palace of Danfeng Gate, naturally it is also heavily guarded, and it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit.
"Cluck-cluck......"
It was the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.
"Alert!"
Originally, the city gate was still closed, and in front of the Danfeng Gate, where there were only two night vigil soldiers, dozens of fires lit up in an instant.
"Who's coming?"
At the head of the city, the admiral of Danfengmen shouted loudly, and there were more than ten archers standing beside him who had drawn their bowstrings.
In the darkness in the distance, the rider stopped, as if he had found a shiny piece at his waist.
"Boom!"
A golden light pierced the night sky, and the thing was thrown up the tower, shattering the wall like a cannonball, half embedded in it.
"Oh!"
The Admiral was taken aback, and then shouted: "This thief is so rampant, a single horse dares to attack at night!
"Slow, slow!" the lieutenant suddenly shouted.
"Huh?" the Admiral was upset that the Adjutant General had interrupted him, and he decided that if the fellow didn't give him a proper explanation, he would be beaten with thirty sticks later.
"Lord Admiral," the lieutenant said, taking the golden object from the wall, it was a token, "take a closer look." ”
The Admiral took the token and looked at it carefully, and a cold sweat broke out.
"Quick, open the city gate quickly!
Before the meeting, the huge city gate slowly opened, and the white ghost on the horse smiled.
"It's a good feeling to pretend to be your own apprentice! Anyway, if something happens, let Mo Song's kid take the blame!"
