Chapter Five Hundred and Four: For Datang Sheji!
The Wei army originally planned to wait until all eleven armies gathered before deciding to attack the city.
But Zhao Changqing is no longer willing to wait.
The main thing is to try to see what the combat strength of the Tang army, which King Qin has come from all over the country to protect, is.
The first battle is a test.
Three hundred thousand troops lined up outside the city.
Zhao Changqing was wearing battle armor, sitting on horseback, and called the formation: "I am the emperor of the Wei Dynasty. Please call out your emperor Li Qingcang of the Tang Dynasty so that I can see how my defeated general looks like now.
!”
He said these words deliberately, and his purpose was to let the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and ours know what was currently happening in the Tang Dynasty.
"I heard that he is now being monitored by Wang Yunhe, Zuo Buqun, Fang Xin and others, and has become a prisoner. Is this true or false? Let Li Qingcang come out and talk about it. I can help him.
Kill these three people, and then I will fight an upright battle with them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army started talking about it.
In the past few days, they had already learned some rumors.
But I don’t want to believe it.
Mainly because King Qin came all the way to protect him, but the emperor was trapped by the generals and marshals in the army. Who can accept this?
Except for the personal guards of Wang Yunhe and others, almost no one knew the whole story.
However, after all, paper can't cover up the fire. After there are rumors, there will be endless suspicion.
Wang Yunhe and Zuo Buqun are currently on top of the city.
When Zhao Changqing finished speaking, they clearly felt that there were many eyes around them, focusing on them.
There were all kinds of emotions mixed in that look.
Zuo Buqun said coldly: "This Zhao Changqing is too venomous! It seems that there are many enemy spies in the city, even in the inner courtyard of the palace?"
Wang Yunhe lowered his voice and said: "These days, the soldiers have doubts about us? Otherwise? I will ask your majesty to come forward. As long as your majesty comes forward, all the rumors will be self-defeating? How active are the soldiers in defending the city?"
? It will also be improved. Otherwise, I am afraid that just by arguing with the opponent here with a few words, it will not be able to eliminate the doubts in the minds of the soldiers. "
Zuo Buqun whispered: "Will Your Majesty agree to come forward?"
Wang Yunhe was not sure, "I can only give it a try."
Zuo Buqun nodded and said, "Okay? You go, go back quickly? I'll guard here."
Wang Yunhe left the city.
When Zhao Changqing saw that there was no movement in the Tang capital, he became suspicious. He asked Chen Qingzhi beside him: "What are the enemy troops doing? Are they just waiting for us to attack the city?"
Chen Qingzhi sat on the horse and clasped his fists and said: "Let the general lead someone to attack once?"
Zhao Changqing waved his hand, "Don't be impatient. Wait and see."
What about the scolding he just said? But there was no rebuttal from the top of the city.
It's really puzzling.
Wang Yunhe came to the emperor's palace.
In the past few days, Li Qingcang seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
There are also more gray hairs than before.
He looked particularly haggard and downcast.
When Wang Yunhe saw his appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you have suffered a lot these days."
Li Qingcang snorted coldly: "You, a treacherous minister and traitor, do you have the nerve to come see me?"
Wang Yunhe knelt down on the ground, kowtowed hard to him, and then stood up.
Seeing his actions, Li Qingcang sneered again and again, "You came here today and you know how to kneel down for me, which shows that you are not bad to the core. Are you here to force me into the palace?"
Wang Yunhe shook his head, "I told Your Majesty before that the generals will never do such treasonous things."
Li Qingcang gritted his teeth and said: "You trapped me in this palace and kidnapped all my family here, but you told me that you wouldn't do such a heinous thing? You think I'm ridiculous?
, or are you still childlike?"
Wang Yunhe took a deep breath and bowed solemnly: "I came here today to ask your Majesty for something."
Li Qingcang said: "Ask me for something? It's ridiculous! Do you want me to write an imperial edict of abdication?"
Wang Yunhe said: "General, I hope that you can go to the top of the city to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies."
"The Wei army attacked the city?"
After hearing the sound, Li Qingcang was slightly stunned and blurted out.
Wang Yunhe smiled bitterly and said: "As expected of your Majesty, you have a sharp eye and you hit the nail on the head."
Li Qingcang turned around, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said bluntly: "In the past few days, I have often been thinking about why you haven't attacked me yet. I always thought that the time has not come yet. Now that I see it, it is not that the time has not come yet.
, but the army of King Qin who came from all over the country are not firmly controlled by you, they are still loyal to me. Most of them have seen what I look like, and you have no other way, just in case
If you take the opportunity to kill me, I'm afraid a bigger mutiny will be waiting for you."
"Your Majesty is right." After a pause, Wang Yunhe continued: "But Your Majesty, we never thought that one day we would turn against you! Therefore, we don't care at all what the people below think. The general will be here today.
I came to beg your Majesty because I want you to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, the fact that we have imprisoned your Majesty has been spread through various channels. People are talking about it and it is noisy. This has greatly affected the morale of the soldiers defending the city."
Li Qingcang narrowed his eyes, "I probably understand what you mean, why should I help you? I helped you stabilize the morale of the army, wouldn't it be putting me to death? What's more, you are not afraid of me, instigating the three armies, will
Are you waiting to fight back?"
Wang Yunhe said decisively: "Your Majesty will not do this unless you are willing to see the prince die tragically in the palace and the Tang Kingdom be captured by the Wei Kingdom and cease to exist."
Having said this, he looked at Li Qingcang's back and said again: "Whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty, I have no intention of rebellion. I just don't want the king's power and the power of the prime minister to override the power of the military."
Although this approach is a bit extreme, for now, this is the best way. Your Majesty only needs to go to the top of the city to say some inspiring words, or just stand on the top of the city.
The final general will protect His Majesty from worries!"
Li Qingcang said: "You threaten me with the prince?"
Wang Yunhe kept his posture very low, "It's not a threat, it's a plea!"
"Plea?"
Li Qingcang heard the sound and mocked: "Your pleading is so sharp!"
Wang Yunhe simply knelt down again and said: "Please give up your personal grudges temporarily for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. At present, the top priority should be to fight the national disaster together! The general will guarantee that after this battle is over, your Majesty will still be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he will still be the same.
The master of this land!"
Li Qingcang slowly closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something in his heart.
Wang Yunhe kowtowed to him again.
"well."
After a while, he heard the emperor sigh.
Wang Yunhe raised his head.
At this time, Li Qingcang turned around, looked at him and said unwillingly: "I, for the sake of the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty, I will trust you for once! If you dare to do anything unethical, believe me, I will
I am confident enough that I can fight you to the bitter end and fight to the death!"
Regardless of whether this is true or false, it is not something Wang Yunhe should consider now.
Now, he only focuses on the war.
"Please rest assured, your majesty, the general has never had any objections and has no choice but to make this decision. It is really because over the years, my status as a warrior in the Tang Dynasty has been too low, allowing a group of people who do not know how to fight to randomly direct an unprecedented war.
, is there any reason to be invincible?”
