Chapter 1387: The Three Kings Raise Arms [Two in One](1/2)
"PS: I owe you three chapters in total. I'll make it up in a few days. I haven't been feeling well in the past two days."
————The following text————
The time goes back to a few days ago, when Prince Hongyu issued an announcement in the Chui Gong Hall, labeling King Qing Zhao Hongxin as a traitor. At that time, King Su Zhao Hongrun had been placed under house arrest in Prince Su's Mansion by the former's troops. Two days later, in Song County, "
Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing in Changyi, finally learned about this.
At that time, after reading the article on the list, King Hongxin of Daqing looked gloomy and sneered at Zong Wei Chang Yanlang: "You are really underestimated by Zhao Hongyu!"
Although he said this, in fact, Qing Wang Hongxin had already had a premonition that there would be such a battle between him and Prince Hongyu - I believe Zhao Hongyu also knew about this.
But what Zhao Hongxin didn't expect was that before he could take the lead, Prince Hongyu would take action on him first, using this method to force him to rebel, as if the latter did not honor him as King Hongxin.
take the threat to heart.
This made Zhao Hongxin feel despised.
But on second thought, this passive situation is not unacceptable. On the other hand, if Prince Hongyu has ignored him in recent years, completed the enthronement ceremony on his own, and sat on his position as the king of Wei,
In fact, by then the situation of King Qing Hongxin would be even more embarrassing.
Thinking of this, King Qing Hongxin ordered Yan Lang, the Chief of Zongwei: "Yan Lang, please quickly invite the Marquis of Huyao, the Marquis of Yuanling, the Marquis of Wanlong, the Marquis of Gaoyang, the Marquis of Pingcheng, and the Marquis of Kuangcheng to come."
About half a day later, the nobles of the Qing King's party, including Sun Mou, the Hou of Hufu, Uncle Feng, the Hou of Yuanling, Zhao Jian, the Hou of Wanlong, Jiang Dan, the Hou of Gaoyang, Li Yang, the Hou of Pingcheng, Jiyan, the Hou of Kuangcheng, etc., arrived at the residence of Qing Wang Hongxin in Changyi County one after another.
In addition, Qing Wang Hongxin also sent someone to invite Wei Feng, the head of the Ji Wei family.
Except for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who was still in the eastern part of Song County at this time and was responsible for encircling and suppressing Song Yun's Beibo Army, almost all the prominent figures in the Qingwang Party had gathered here.
During the meeting, King Qing Hongxin took the lead in showing the list of articles to everyone.
After seeing the article on the list, the nobles of the Qing Prince Party present were not a little surprised, because in the past year or so, after Prince Hongyu gradually took control of the power of Daliang, he successively tried to deal with them, the Prince of Qing Party.
The party nobles exerted pressure, so that the Qingwang Party nobles had to gradually transfer their family properties to Song County - that is to say, in fact, Prince Hongyu suppressed a series of Qingwang Party nobles as early as a year ago
It has gradually unfolded.
"What does Wei think of this?"
Qing Wang Hongxin took the lead in asking Wei Feng's opinion. After all, Shangdang Shou Jiang Bi was Wei Feng's former general. Although after Jiang Bi became Wei's general, Wei Feng had already stepped forward to terminate the relationship between the two.
relationship, but in private, Jiang Bi was still extremely loyal to Wei Feng—to be precise, to the "Tianshui Wei Family".
It's no wonder, after all, Jiang Bi, who was born as a slave, was first promoted by the old head of the Wei family in Tianshui, and later married a daughter of the Wei family in Tianshui. It cannot be denied that Jiang Bi also cherishes Wei, the country that took them in.
, but in the final analysis, his loyalty to the Ji Zhao family is not as good as his loyalty to the Ji Wei family.
Seeing everyone here looking at him, Wei Feng smiled and said to King Qing Hongxin: "Thanks to the grace of His Highness King Qing, I, the Wei family, can settle down in Song County. Wei Feng will naturally help His Highness King Qing."
"Is this a hint to me not to forget the promise I made?"
Qing Wang Hongxin understood the implication of Wei Feng's words, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wei Feng, I will not treat loyal people badly."
After hearing this, all the nobles present nodded secretly.
Indeed, all the princes of the royal family knew how to show kindness and power at the same time, and were extremely generous to their own people. There were very few owners who "didn't feed the horses but wanted them to run away", including the King Qing Hongxin in front of him.
After Wei Feng made his position clear, the atmosphere at the conference table became more harmonious.
During this period, Zhao Jian, the Marquis of Wanlong, asked: "But, what should we do over at Tianmen Pass?"
It turns out that the fastest way to respond to King Qing Hongxin's call to "defeat his rebellious brother and clear the emperor's side" was to go directly from Shangdang County to Hanoi County through Tianmen Pass. However, the problem was that there was an area near Tianmen Pass.
"Tianmen Mine", in order to ensure the normal operation of this mine, Prince Su Zhao Hongrun
When leaving, 3,000 men named "Lu Zhan" under his command will stay at the pass. Without the approval of Lu Zhan, Jiang Bi would not be able to lead his army from Shangdang County into Hanoi County.
Hedong County detours, but in this way, the marching speed will be at least about a month later.
After hearing this, everyone here inevitably thought of Lu Zhan, the guard of Tianmen Pass, and the backer behind this general, namely Su Wang Zhao Hongrun - Compared with whether Tianmen Pass is passable, in fact, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun's attitude is more
for important.
If Su Wang Zhao Hongrun sides with Prince Hongyu this time, it will be a big disaster.
If "Su Wang Zhao Run" is the opponent, even if they have "Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo", a commander of the same level, sitting here, the nobles present, including Qing Wang Hongxin himself, will inevitably feel a little uneasy.
Seeing that everyone present looked a little ugly, Qing Wang Hongxin said bravely: "Don't worry, I thought that Lao Ba might not support the prince this time. Don't forget, the prince didn't say hello to Lao Ba last year.
Under such circumstances, the Smelting Bureau and the Weapon Casting Bureau were taken back. Based on my understanding of Lao Ba, Lao Ba must be dissatisfied with the prince..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanling Hou Feng Shu said quietly: "But I heard a while ago that King Su went to Daliang alone with only a few followers..."
Qing Wanghong cursed secretly in his heart, but still said firmly: "So what?... Lao Ba is the person who accepts death the most. Zhao Hongyu is the person he once supported, so no matter what, Lao Ba will endure it, but
Wait until he can't bear it anymore..."
In fact, Qing Wang Hongxin had no basis for these words. To put it bluntly, he was just talking nonsense. But not to mention, he also hit the point of his words. At least the nobles present nodded secretly.
Sure enough, within two days, Qing Wang Hongxin's spy who stayed in Daliang sent back a piece of information that was crucial to the Qing Wang party: Su Wang Zhao Run was placed under house arrest by the imperial guards sent by Prince Zhao Yu.
When he heard the news, Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin almost jumped up from his bed with joy.
The other nobles of King Qing's party who heard the news also congratulated King Qing Hongxin.
"Without further delay, send troops immediately!"
On the same day, King Qing Hongxin discussed with the nobles of King Qing's party again and decided to strike first and launch an offensive against Daliang.
So on the next day, Qing Wang Hongxin shouted the slogan "Suppose the rebellious brother, Qing Jun side", falsely pretended to have received the edict secretly sent by their father, reprimanded the prince Hongyu for his treason, and placed his father under house arrest in an attempt to
Usurping the throne and seizing power, even Prince Su Zhao Hongrun was placed under house arrest. King Qing Hongxin also wrote a denunciation of the crown prince Hongyu.
Immediately, he led the nobles to form the "Qingwang Army" and set off towards Daliang.
Considering that the credibility of his appeal was not as high as that of Prince Hongyu, Qing Wang Hongxin had no choice but to find ways to win over his brothers to restore his disadvantage.
For this reason, he not only sent people to invite the powerless seventh brother Zhao Hongyin, the Yi Wang, but also sent people to look for traces of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli.
Unfortunately, the eldest prince Zhao Hongli has disappeared since he called the Chenliu Shi family, the birthplace of his biological mother Shi Guifei.
During the march, King Qing Zhao Hongxin received a letter from Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang.
After reading the letter, Zhao Hongxuan looked slightly ugly.
Seeing this, Zongwei Chang Yanlang asked: "Your Highness, is there something going on with King Nanliang?"
"Hmm." Qing Wang Hongxin nodded and explained: "It's Shaohu. The Wei Wujun under Shaohu intercepted the army of the third uncle."
It turned out that a year ago, after Prince Hongyu sent the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo to lead the anti-rebellion army to Song County to attack Song Yun's Beibo Army, the former sent General Shao Hu to lead the Wei Wu Army to station in the northern part of Song County, mainly responsible for guarding "
"Liang Lu Canal" was operating normally to avoid being cut off by the Beibo Army.
From another perspective, Prince Hongyu sent Shao Hu to Song County to monitor Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang in disguise.
No, now the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo was preparing to respond to Qing Wang Hongxin’s call to raise troops, but Shao Hu intercepted the army one step ahead. Currently, these two top armies of the Wei State are in the "Rencheng" of Song County, "
Confrontation in Nanpingyang area.
This made Qing Wang Hongxin feel inexplicably anxious. After all, General Shaohu and his Wei Wujun were no weaker than Nanliang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo and his anti-rebellion army. Maybe Nanliang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo would not be able to successfully fight against Qing Wang Hongxin this time.
The armies converged.
"It seems that we can only rely on Jiang Bi's Northern Army..."
Qing Wang Hongxin thought secretly.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. Looking back at Zongwei Changyan Lang, he asked: "The fourth and ninth laos haven't sent a reply yet?"
"Not yet." Yan Lang shook his head and said.
Zhao Hongxin nodded and warned: "If there is any news about Lao Si and Lao Ninth, report it immediately!"
"yes!"
At the same time, two or three days after Qing Wang Hongxin raised his troops, far away in Anyi, Hedong County, Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan was reading the two proclamations in front of him with a sullen face.
The first one was naturally issued by Prince Hongyu in Chui Gong Hall, with the purpose of labeling Qing Wang Hongxin as a traitor.
The second copy was a proclamation published by Qing Wang Hongxin to attack Prince Hongyu.
Compared with the first appeal, the second appeal made Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan extremely angry. The reason was that Qing Wang Hongxin accused Prince Hongyu of putting their father under house arrest, and also placed Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, the brother of Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan, under house arrest.
Even though the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan are no longer as close as they were when they were young, they are still brothers after all. How could Zhao Hongxuan sit back and watch his brother being put under house arrest? - Not to mention the prince Hongyu whom he had always hated.
House arrest.
So, he immediately summoned two of his close aides, Luo Yao and Zhou Min, to discuss with them how to raise an army.
In fact, before this, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan had already discussed this matter with Luo Yao and the two surrounding people. However, at that time, Luo Yao considered that King Su Zhao Hongrun was in Daliang, so he suggested that King Huan Zhao Hongxuan hold his troops still and wait for the situation to change.
, after all, if Su Wang Zhao Hongrun chooses to support Prince Hongyu, their position will become very embarrassing.
Putting aside whether he can win the battle or not, does King Huan Zhao Hongxuan still dare to meet his brother on the battlefield?
To this day, after learning that Prince Hongyu had placed Prince Su Zhao Hongrun under house arrest in Prince Su's Mansion in Daliang, Luo Yao stopped doing more to dissuade him.
The reason is very simple. If Su Wang Zhao Hongrun is really placed under house arrest by Prince Hongyu, it may be because the former is dissatisfied with the latter's behavior. In this way, Luo Yao will have an insight into Su Wang Zhao Hongrun's attitude towards this matter.
"My brother mistakenly trusted Zhao Hongyu, a treacherous villain, and that's why he was put under house arrest by the latter."
At this moment, although King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was very concerned about his brother Zhao Hongrun's concern, deep down in his heart, he was also secretly happy.
After all, he has always hated Prince Hongyu, but he could not convince his brother Zhao Hongrun. Now, his brother Zhao Hongrun is under house arrest by Prince Hongyu. What does this mean?
