The imperial palace in the capital is heavily guarded, and the outside of the Qiang Palace meeting hall is heavily guarded. Queen Feng Wanqiu is sitting on the dragon chair. Next to her, sits Concubine E, who has become a concubine. The new emperor Xuan Can sits aside and looks at his mother. His eyes were a little dull. Since he ascended the throne, Xuan Can has found that the emperor is simply a decoration. Although he accepts the worship of civil and military officials every day and satisfies his long-awaited desire, the real power falls in the hands of his mother. Li. He even said that he was not as good as his brother Xuan Ming. At least Xuan Ming still controlled the military power of Dafeng.
"Emperor Xuanming, has there been any movement from Zhu Tianjiang's army in the past few days?" Queen Feng Wanqiu asked.
Feng Wanqiu looked at Xuan Ming with a stern face. The sudden retreat of Zhu Tianjiang's army made the most powerful woman in the world a little uneasy. Concubine E looked at her son with relief. She felt that Xuan Ming really looked like a majestic general. .
"After returning to his mother, according to what I heard, Zhu Tianjiang's army was short of supplies, and he was probably preparing to return home. Zhuo Xing, Zhou Yantian's military advisor, had been attacking the army of supplies transporting grain and grass in the Yanshan area, which dealt a heavy blow to Zhu Tianjiang. Although Zhu Tianjiang temporarily assembled tens of thousands of troops, he did not solve the problem of feeding these people. A few months ago, in order to send troops to the north, his father had been making logistical preparations to stock up on food, and almost all the rich food and grass in various capitals were gathered here. Reserves in the capital. Even if Zhu Tianjiang has money to collect grain and grass, he can only wait until after the autumn harvest. According to what Erchen has seen, it is estimated that Zhu Tianjiang will withdraw his troops southward soon. If he wants to send troops to the capital again, he can only wait until winter After that." Xuan Ming continued to talk about his opinions.
Deputy Commander Obilong frowned, his views were very different from Xuan Ming's. But at this time, Obilong could not undermine his nephew in front of Feng Wanqiu.
The emperor of the country, Feng Gengnian, was sitting on the right side. This seat was once reserved for Prince Jing. At this time, the emperor of the country, Feng Genggnian, had a serious face, and he always felt that there was something wrong here.
"Queen Mother, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?" Feng Gengnian said politely to his daughter.
Although they are father and daughter, their statuses are different. According to the rules, he, the father, must also pay tribute to his daughter.
"Father, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Feng Wanqiu nodded to his father and said.
Feng Gengnian glanced at the people sitting there. Almost all of them in this hall were from the Feng and E families. Because they knew that once the war was lost, Emperor Chengwu would never leave any men from the Feng and E families behind. Man.
"The Queen Mother and all the ministers here, I feel that Zhu Tianjiang is so scheming, and returning without success is definitely not his past style. Although I ignored the government affairs before, Zhu Tianjiang's actions Every move made the old man pay close attention to him. From a little-known member of the Guo Mansion, he was able to quarrel with civil servants outside the court, and then later he suddenly emerged as an army and led a group of miscellaneous soldiers to defeat Zhou Yantian's 100,000 army. These things are not all based on Luck. This guy seems to be naughty, but in fact, everything he does is carefully considered. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang suddenly withdrew his troops this time, which I think is very unreasonable. The two armies fought without any pain. If there is a big battle, he will withdraw his troops. Even if he returns to Pengcheng, Chengwu will not spare him. Your Majesty, I think we should take strict precautions."
Feng Gengnian was scheming and his words made sense, and were immediately recognized by Oroqen and others.
Everyone in the palace was discussing how to guard against Zhu Tianjiang, and a group of people also gathered in the backyard of the General's Mansion.
It was already midnight, and a new dawn was about to arrive. The secret men and horses lurking in the city three hours ago received the secret letter from Zhu Er and immediately began to take action. Regardless of the fact that the front and rear gates of the General's Mansion were tightly guarded by officers and soldiers, the surrounding area
Additional patrol officers and soldiers were also dispatched, but for these people, they still had freedom of entry and exit.
There is a martial arts lecture hall in the backyard of the General's Mansion. Mrs. Guo is sitting at the top of the hall in high spirits. Lin Feng stands in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back. On two rows of seats, Mu Qi, the Suzaku envoy sitting on the stick, is sitting on the left.
The new ### envoys Geng Biao, Xuanwu envoy Gui Shanshuo and others. Even though Geng Biao and Gui Shanshuo are the second envoys of ### and Xuanwu, they are Mu Qi's juniors, so in terms of position, Mu Qi still says
Forget it. Sitting on the seats in the right row are the third prince Xuan Le, the manager of Nanyuan Dong Su, the poisonous daughter of the Lingnan Gu family Gu Xiaofeng and others. In addition, there are a few seemingly inconspicuous people sitting in the lower seats.
People, they are all Zhu Tianjiang's little bosses in the capital.
Lin Feng looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I, Lin Feng, have lived in seclusion for many years. I never thought that someone who is about to be buried will have to help Dafeng again. Mu Qi, does Wei Zhan have any instructions?"
"Master Lin, Master Wei Zhan ordered us to wait and obey Master Lin's instructions in everything."
After Mu Qi finished speaking, Geng Biao and Gui Shanshuo also stood up, and the three of them bowed respectfully to Lin Feng. Being able to act under the command of this legendary figure, Geng Biao and Gui Shanshuo felt more respect and respect in their hearts.
longing for.
Lin Feng nodded and turned to look at Xuan Le, "Your Highness, tomorrow night's battle will affect the fate of Dafeng. I hope you will also give us all your help."
Xuan Le stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Senior Lin, although Xuan Le is a prince, at this time, as a commoner, he is asking for orders from Mr. Lin. For my great prosperity, he will not hesitate to go through swords, mountains and fire. As long as you give an order,
Xuan Le himself, including the slaves of his sect, is at his disposal."
"Okay! Since everyone has no objections, I'm not welcome." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Mrs. Guo and sat down.
Mrs. Guo looked at Lin Feng with joy. In her eyes, Lin Feng seemed to have returned to his youthful days. If she hadn't married into the Guo family by mistake, maybe she and Lin Feng were somewhere in the mountains at this time.
Live a carefree life.
Lin Feng didn't know Mrs. Guo's thoughts, so she began to arrange the evening tasks, "Mu Qi, you and Geng Biao will lead their own men. When the siege cannon sounds outside the city at the end of tomorrow, they will immediately sneak into Prince Jing's Mansion and protect him.
Prince Jing and his wife evacuate to a safe place."
"Mu Qi got the order!"
"Geng Biao has the order!"
Mu Qi and Geng Biao stood up and answered with clasped fists.
Lin Feng knew that Geng Biao was only in his forties, but to be appointed by Wei Zhan as an envoy, his skills were definitely not inferior to Mu Qi. He asked Geng Biao to cooperate with Mu Qi to rescue Prince Jing, and Lin Feng believed in the two of them.
The ability should be no problem.
"Gui Shanshuo, tomorrow you will follow me and lead your troops to Rong Fei Palace to rescue Yu'er Rong Fei and others. Xuan Le, you will lead your own people, including the Guo family guards, and tomorrow you will protect the Guo family and the young and old and kill them out through the back door.
, temporarily hiding in the city." Lin Feng continued.
"Gui Shanshuo has your order!" Xuanwu envoy Gui Shanshuo replied in a thick voice.
Xuan Le stood up again, "Senior Lin, Xuan Le has another unkind request." "Well, please tell me." Lin Feng looked at Xuan Le.
Xuan Le took two steps forward and fell to his knees. Lin Feng was startled. Not only him, but also Mrs. Guo and everyone looked at Xuan Le in surprise.
"Your Highness, I am a commoner, but I can't bear your great gift. Get up quickly." Lin Feng said, reaching out and pulling Xuan Le up.
"Master Lin, my mother, Concubine Dong Guifei, is also under house arrest by the Queen. Tomorrow, Zhu Tian's army will attack the city. Xuan Le is worried that Queen Feng Wanqiu will destroy the boat and threaten the concubines in the harem. Therefore, I also ask Master Lin to rescue my mother, and Xuan Le will do it for me.
My mother, the Dong family, would like to thank Mr. Lin for your kindness in advance." Xuan Le said, bowing again to express his thanks.
Lin Feng frowned, then nodded and said, "It is human nature to think of your loved ones in times of crisis. Okay, I promise you."
Gu Xiaofeng stood up, "Senior Lin and junior, under the orders of Master Zhu, secretly prepared a batch of Piaoxianghunsan. As long as you light dry firewood at the upwind vent and sprinkle it on top, the thick smoke will make the downdraft vent
Within half a stick of incense, the person felt weak and drowsy in his limbs. However, these things are complicated and expensive to make, and the original ointment left by the Gu family of the younger generation must be added, so the younger generation only refined ten bottles. Master Zhu said that these things
Use these things to attack the palace to increase your chances of success."
Lin Feng was startled. He didn't know that Zhu Tianjiang had such an arrangement. According to the rules of the world, using incense and other things was considered a third-rate behavior, and someone like Lin Feng would definitely not use it. But this was not the case.
This action is related to the success or failure of victory. Lin Feng thought for a while and agreed with Gu Xiaofeng. Otherwise, if Yu'er and others could not be saved, Lin Feng knew that with Zhu Tianjiang's temper and character, he would definitely fall under the threat of the queen.
Withdraw your troops. This guy is willing to give up everything for a woman. He doesn't care about Dafeng.
After everyone had made arrangements and the sky was showing the light of dawn, Mu Qi and others left one by one, just waiting for Zhu Tianjiang's army to arrive and then take advantage of the chaos to take action.
Within the capital, the people are still living their lives as usual. The war is not too scary to them. After all, it is a battle between father and son. No matter who takes over the capital, they will not attack the people.
Fifty miles outside the capital, Zhu Tianjiang felt that the day passed much slower than usual. Out of boredom, Zhu Tianjiang and Daniel inspected the army together. Seeing that the morale of all the soldiers was high, Zhu Tianjiang was looking forward to the evening.
Fighting. According to normal practice, siege battles are rarely held at night. Because even if the city is broken, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the attacking party in street fighting, and it is easy for the opponent to escape in the dark. Zhu Tianjiang does not care about that.
If they don't fight at night, it will be difficult for Lin Feng and the others to enter the palace. Zhu Tianjiang also has no choice. The planned attack on the city at the end of the day was postponed by Zhu Tianjiang for another two hours.
As soon as the unitary hour arrived in the evening, Zhu Tianjiang stood on the handsome chariot, and tens of thousands of troops marched outside the city gate. Suddenly, the alarm bells in the capital rang loudly, and the men and horses of each battalion panicked.
Three cannons were fired outside the city gate, sending a signal to everyone in the city. Before Lin Feng left, he once again told Xuan Le and others that no matter what happened, they must persist until the army breaks the city. Even if they cannot rush out, as a general
With the defense capabilities of the general's palace, it shouldn't be a problem to stay in the backyard for two hours. Lin Feng has also tested the Jianghu people gathered by Xuan Le, and he feels that it shouldn't be difficult for these people, plus the guards of the general's palace to protect the old lady and others, to kill them out. After all, Xuan Ming
Heavy troops were placed on the city wall, and those guarding the general's palace were basically officials from the Ministry of Justice, with little combat effectiveness.
Lin Feng led his men over the wall and quickly ran towards the palace. As soon as he left, Mu Qi came to the general's mansion alone.
"Old madam, the emperor has a secret decree. I had to wait until the city was broken before I could give it to you. But Mu Qi was afraid that he would not be able to join you after rescuing Prince Jing, so I gave it to you first." Mu Qi said and took out a bamboo tube.
Mrs. Guo took the bamboo tube doubtfully and saw that it was sealed with wax lead. She knew that Mu Qi had not seen it either. Mu Qi did not dare to stay, so he immediately said goodbye to Mrs. Guo and left the general's mansion.
Mrs. Guo crushed the wax seal, took out the secret decree and read it carefully. After reading the secret decree, Mrs. Guo frowned, couldn't help but sigh, and shook her head helplessly.
