Chapter 661 Multi-party game!
Xinde went to Jiangnan, and Qin King Long Zhaohuan was reluctant to return to Beijing. He was not a fool. If the current situation in the capital was in danger, would he be willing to come back and turn the tide?
Therefore, when Emperor Xinde's fleet left the capital through the canal transport, Lu Zheng became the only controller in the entire capital and the two rivers.
Before leaving, Emperor Xinde met Lu Zheng at the pier. He hadn't seen him for some days. He looked much more energetic. He didn't seem to be depressed at all about his trip to Jiangnan. Instead, he was quite expectant and excited:
"The south of Jiangnan has always been the foundation of my Great Kang Kingdom. When Taizu established the country and built its capital, Jinling, the land of Jinling was the land of Longxing. I went to Jinling again this time and should follow Taizu, work hard to govern, and serve the country and the people!"
No one present said this to Emperor Xinde. Su Xinghai, the left-behind prime minister, was the most depressed. All civil and military officials had gone to Jiangnan, leaving him alone and a few elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to defend the capital. The key is that the capital will soon be empty. Even if Su Xinghai has the talent of heaven and earth, can he defend the capital?
Emperor Xinde held his hand and said a lot of things he said, but he probably knew how much Su Xinghai could hear.
Finally, Emperor Xinde said to Lu Zheng: "Lu Qing, you are my thousand-mile horse, and the stability of the capital is in your hands. I have given you my Yulin Army, and your military command is famous. You represent my kingly army. Although the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is powerful, how can a rebellious army block the kingly army's edge?
You remember that the capital can be defended, but when the prince comes back, he will definitely let you take the initiative to attack. After all, it will depend on you to suppress the rebellion in Shandong!"
Lu Zheng's heart was so cold that he heard Emperor Xinde's words that he was determined to push him to Shandong. At this time, Shandong's storm, Liaodong's iron cavalry was like a wolf and a tiger. How could Lu Zheng compete with them in just tens of thousands of soldiers?
If Lu Zheng had not seen Lu Changhe before, he would have been very panicked at this time because he could not prepare to grasp the direction and measure of things.
But now, his heart is very stable, and he can deduce the direction of the next situation. For Lu Zheng, he only needs to be responsible for himself and he doesn't care about anything else.
In a chaotic world, the inevitable result is strength as the supreme, moral degradation, and the chaos in the world is now irreversible. How could Lu Zheng be foolishly rushing forward to be cannon fodder?
Emperor Xinde led a fleet of civil and military officials to leave the dock far away. On this day, the sky of the capital was extremely dark, and sandstorms from the north swept across the capital, which seemed to indicate that from then on, Dakang would go to a new and unpredictable situation!
As soon as Emperor Xinde left, the boy heard news that the prince (King of Qin) had retreated from the northwest and was preparing to return to Beijing today. The 100,000 troops led by Prince Haohao Tang were confidently suppressing the rebellion of Longyou, but did not hurt the other party's soldiers. This fact is really ridiculous and hilarious.
In the western suburbs of the capital, Lu Zheng took Nie Xiaonu and a boy to climb the mountain. The gate of Guiyin Temple was already looking at it. Lu Zheng said quietly: "Look, Your Majesty has just left the capital, and the prince has returned to Beijing. From this point of view, this comfortable place in Dakang is not my place after all. Next, I have to lick blood from the knife and live a hard life!"
The boy pursed his lips and said nothing, but Nie Xiaonu said, "The father and son of their royal family fought, and the others were killed by death. What kind of thing is this? Lu Lang, you are too weak. If I encounter such a thing, I will hum!"
Nie Xiaonu snorted, and a murderous intent appeared in his tone. Lu Zheng laughed and said, "I can't compare to our little slave. I only know how to accept it, haha!"
Lu Zheng laughed and felt relieved a lot. He looked at the boy and said, "Let you contact Song Laosan, is there any news from him?"
The boy said: "General Song has already sent a letter to Fei Ge. I just received it. You... are you reading it now?"
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Is he so fast? Then when are you waiting? Of course I want to see now!"
The boy hurriedly took out a book for Lu Zheng from his arms. The book was very short, made of silk cloth, with a few words that Song Wensong was crooked and slanted, with extremely recognizable: "If you ask me to fight, will I fight? I have ulterior motives!"
With just twelve words, Lu Zheng stared at these twelve words for a long time, suddenly laughed and said, "What a Song Lao San, he has become more angry for a while. I, Lu Zheng, have ulterior motives? I think it is because of him, Song Lao San, have ulterior motives!"
The boy said, "This General Song San is indeed not a good-looking person. The young master has such a deep relationship with him. He asked him to help him at a critical moment and he was so pushing and blocking him like this. It really makes people feel that he is not a friend enough!"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Boy, in the troubled times, don't say the word "friend". Soldiers, how can the country's major affairs be easily moved? Song Laosan was not having a good life in Longyou. It was enough for him to return Liu Song to me. It was a luxury to expect him to send troops to make Long Zhaohuan suffer a loss. I was just a luxury to try his courage. Now it seems, hehe, he is not only timid, but also his situation is indeed very bad!
...
Longyou, the west wind was strong, and Song Wensong rode on his horse and looked out into the distance. Beside him, there were many strategists gathered and guarded him in the middle.
Song Wensong was no longer as good as he was back then. Even a very small decision of the Song family could determine his fate and future. What about now?
Now Song Wensong has 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands and has two states. Thinking about all this, Song Wensong has to thank Lu Zheng.
It was Lu Zheng's time to come to Longyou that taught Song Wensong a lot of things. In the past, Song Wensong was a master in placing troops and leading troops to fight, but if he was in governance, he was a shortcoming in how to fight.
After Lu Zheng came to Longyou for two years, he realized a lot. Therefore, after Lu Zheng left Longyou, he firmly believed in developing his own power and no longer had any fantasies about the Song family. After years of accumulation, he had a rich family foundation, and even the Song family dared not ignore his existence easily.
His two brothers had thought about dealing with him, but every time Song Wensong was ruthless, the other party returned in a mess, and Song Wensong always laughed to the end!
"Look at it! There is the imperial army over there! Look at them, they have been here for so many days and have not sent any soldiers. How did they come? How did they still leave? Haha!" Song Wensong laughed:
"I received a secret letter from Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng asked me to cut off his retreat and give them a painful blow. Look, what's the plan?"
"Never be the third general!" A strategist stood up and shouted: "Although the soldiers of the court come from afar, they are the king's army. Since the Song family has not broken up with them, it means that there is still a chance to ease when they meet again in the future!
The King of Qin withdraws his troops, not because he doesn't want to fight, but because he can't fight, because the crisis in the capital must go back and turn the tide. In this case, if the third general sends troops due to his loyalty for a moment, it will undoubtedly cause fire to hurt his body. This is very unwise!"
Song Wensong looked around and said, "Do you think this is the case?"
"Yes, the third general, we all think that we cannot send troops. Soldiers are a major event for the country. The third general's soldiers should be at critical moments when they need to send troops, rather than act rashly, and we should not send troops just because of the so-called loyalty!"
Song Wensong narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. After a long time, he said, "Yes, your answer is the answer I gave to Lu Zheng! The Feige's letter has been sent out, and that kid Lu Zheng should have seen it at this moment!
However, I suddenly felt that I could not just take a look like this, and told my general that Li Yuan led 10,000 elite cavalry to attack, and personally led an army to attack from the flanks. I heard that we will defeat the prince Long Zhaohuan in this battle, haha..."
Song Wensong laughed, and he looked around and said, "You don't need to say much, I have decided! When chaos has arisen today, from now on, it will be the prey of the weak. People like Long Zhaohuan, who have no talent and virtue, can only be a foil of history after all. If I don't hit him, someone will beat them. Since that's the case, I won't catch the great benefits, when will I still stay?
I remember that I don’t want to kill the enemy in this battle, but only attack the heart. We are young and middle-aged people in the north. These soldiers from the capital are the best soldiers in Longyou. Remember, don’t hurt too many people!”
Song Wensong spoke, clamping his legs with his war horse under his crotch, lifting a long sword in his hand, the flag formation in the distance began to whip out flags, the earth began to shake, tens of thousands of cavalry stirred up dust in the sky, and a huge killing made by wind sweeping the clouds slowly opened on the wasteland!
Long Zhaohuan never dreamed that he and the Song family had reached an agreement, and both sides tacitly retreated. In this case, there were pursuers behind him, and the pursuers were coming in full force, which made him unable to stop the situation.
"What's going on? The old dog of the Song family, who is traitorous?" Long Zhaohuan said angrily.
Staffman Sun Chengzhong said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince should not be a member of the Song family, but Song Laosan! Song Laosan and the Song family have always been in opposition and have become a separatist force in Longyou. This person was very close to Lu Zheng in his early years. At this time, he suddenly attacked us. It might be Lu Zheng's instructions!
Your Highness, Lu Zheng is alone in the capital at this time. If you go back, your Highness, you will inevitably pose a threat to him. In this case, Lu Zheng will inevitably be afraid of the prince's strength, and this will lead to a tragic change in the future!"
Long Zhaohuan's expression changed and he stomped his feet and said, "These words are all hindsights. What is the connection with what is happening now? How should we break through?"
"Don't panic with Your Highness, the third prince of Song has not many soldiers under his command. They will inevitably be weak after attacking for a while. We just need to advance at full speed and don't have to bother you anymore!" Sun Chengzhong said again.
Long Zhaohuan said angrily: "Then move forward, speed up the march, move forward quickly!"
Just imagine, facing pursuers, without turning around to defend and just wanting to escape, how can they not be severely damaged? In this battle, Long Zhaohuan was defeated, and more than half of his troops were lost, while Song Wensong returned with a great victory and captured more than 30,000...
