"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. Please listen to what I'm saying first. Your Majesty is sent to recover the three cities of Xuzhou. I wonder if this is a triumphant return? If it has been recovered, Your Majesty can enter the capital, but the premise is that these soldiers will stay here temporarily."
, you cannot enter the capital with the prince." Lu Shoubei said with a smile on his face.
This means that not only can these soldiers and generals not be able to follow them into the capital, they can't even pass through the city gates.
The reason why Lu Shoubei was so confident was because of the person behind him, and the other reason was the special nature of this city.
Dian City is the only way to enter the capital. Emperors of all dynasties used this place as a line of defense to protect the capital.
The city wall was built far and long, high and strong, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The people under the city wall knew that if King Ji planned to attack the city by force, not to mention the odds of winning, as soon as he gave the order to attack the city, King Yu, the acting official in the court, would immediately declare to the outside world,
King Ji took advantage of His Majesty's health to seek power and usurp the throne.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family, so it doesn't matter whether the important ministers in the court, officials and people in various places believe it or not.
The so-called desire to impose a crime, why bother!
After King Yu got rid of him, he became justifiable and his teacher became famous.
However, if the prince agrees not to bring troops and horses into the city, he will also be entering a dangerous situation.
King Yu has clearly made trouble, and it is obvious that the capital is now under his control.
Under such circumstances, if He Zexu was smart, he should not enter Beijing.
Even if a call comes from the capital, you have to find excuses not to go. If you go, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and seeking death.
"Lu Shuishi, I might as well tell you that I did not go to recover the three cities of Xuzhou. I want to take back the capital city, and I will take these soldiers and horses with me.
Now I give you a chance, open the city gate immediately and let me pass, otherwise." He Zexu called him by his name, and after saying these words, he felt verbose.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, anyone can say harsh words. I am here to see how you plan to get there, and also want to see how you plan to deal with me. The prerequisite is that you, Your Majesty, have a chance to get in.
"Lu Shoubei was also completely torn apart.
He waved behind him, and someone immediately brought a soft chair over, and a maid brought tea. The one who was squeezing his shoulders and beating his legs was called "Gese".
"Your Majesty, will you let your subordinates attack the city?" General Wen, the military commander, was so angry that he wanted to attack the city immediately and cut Na Lu's garrison into pieces and feed them to the dogs.
He Zexu sneered and said: "General Wen, why should you get angry with such a villain?" After saying this, he nodded to a follower beside him.
After receiving the signal, the follower took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, and then took out a fire stick, lit the wick outside the bamboo tube, and then raised it to his head. After hearing a whooshing sound, a dazzling light appeared in the sky in front of the city gate.
It exploded with a click.
Fireworks in broad daylight are not pretty, but the sound is very loud and can be heard far away.
"Tsk, what kind of fireworks are there?" someone on the city gate sneered.
Lu Shuishi looked at the smoke that had dissipated in the air and stood up abruptly: "Not good."
At this moment, screams and fighting suddenly came from inside the city gate.
"They have a response in the city, hurry up." Lu Shuishi reacted and told several of the city defenders around him to quickly bring people down to help guard the city gate.
Unfortunately, the response was still a little late. When the soldiers guarding the city led people to go to support, they discovered that the people who were there to assist Prince Ji were not a few dozen, but about hundreds of people.
Some of them were dressed as soldiers, merchants, vendors, and even farmers and woodcutters.
Their weapons were of all kinds and looked very messy, but the movements of these people were not messy, and they looked well-trained at first sight.
The most terrible thing is that the city gate has been opened, and King Ji's soldiers and horses have poured in from outside.
Everything happened so fast, as if it happened in an instant. In a little more than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.
It's not that the difference in military strength brought by Dian Cheng and King Ji is too big, but that the difference in force value is too big.
He Zexu's soldiers and horses were tempered by many years of bloody and bloody battles with him in the south and north with him. If you pick up any ordinary soldier, they can defeat one against ten.
For example, the soldiers and horses under Lu Shoubei were stationed in the city all year round. They were used to being at ease in peacetime, but they were completely useless in a real fight. They were quickly defeated and surrendered.
"How dare you be so arrogant like this? Why don't you continue to rant?" After General Wen scolded him with disdain, he kicked Lu Shoubei into the wall and landed on the ground. He didn't know that he was kicked in the ribs.
It was broken, or the bone was broken, and it was so painful that I broke out in a cold sweat.
The people in the city didn't know what happened, so they hid in their homes and didn't dare to come out.
Someone pulled a chair and He Zexu sat on the street.
No one cared about where Lu Shoubei was injured, whether it hurt or not, and whether he was in danger of his life. They dragged him over by the collar and threw him in front of He Zexu.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am forced to do this. I have to do this." Lu Shoubei ignored the pain in his heart and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
He Zexu took the water bag handed over by his subordinates, drank a few sips, and looked at Lu Shoubei.
"I also ask the prince to give me a chance to make meritorious service. I will be willing to work for the prince in the future." Lu Shoubei secretly raised his head and saw the prince looking at him, and said quickly.
"I don't care about a piece of shit like you." He Zexu said with disgust, and one of his men happened to come to report it.
"Your Majesty, what should I do with this guy?" Lu Shoubei prayed in his heart that he would be ignored, but General Wen kept staring at him.
"Such a disloyal man who is disloyal to the monarch and preys on the common people will only be a disaster if he is kept. If General Wen has free time, I will leave it to you to deal with it." He Zexu said disapprovingly.
"The last general has an order." Upon hearing this, General Wen responded readily, stepped forward, picked up Lu Shoubei's belt, and walked towards the city wall.
Lu Shou was like a little chicken in the hands of the tall and powerful General Wen.
"You can't do this. No matter what happens, I am also an official of the imperial court. You can't do whatever you want." Lu Shoubei originally thought that he would be imprisoned. In that case, he would suffer a little temporarily. King Yu's people would still let him go.
Understand.
However, he did not expect that King Ji did not follow the procedures and wanted to execute him directly, so he shouted desperately.
It was no use shouting even though my throat was broken, and because there were many fractures in my body, I couldn't fight back even if I tried.
On the city wall, the soldiers who originally guarded the city surrendered and knelt down to wait for treatment. They watched helplessly as the guard was being carried and stood on the city wall. However, no one wanted to save him at all.
It's not because he can't take care of it, but because this garrison master is not a good person in the first place. Not only does he deduct their salary, but he also raped a soldier's wife a few months ago.
Afterwards, the little lady hung herself with a rope.
The soldier also disappeared. It is said that the garrison master gave the soldier a hundred taels of silver as compensation, and he took the silver and lived a good life.
However, privately, everyone did not believe it and felt that the poor guy had already been dealt with by the guard.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Shuishi shouted in horror as General Wen held him by his feet and faced him under the city wall.
General Wen smiled: "Why do you need to ask? I want to let you live. Since you have the courage to make trouble with King Yu, you should know the consequences of failure." After saying that, he loosened his hands and looked at each other.
Lu Shuishi screamed and fell down, hitting the ground with a thud, twitching a few times and becoming motionless.
Because he fell headfirst, he hit the ground headfirst, and the city wall was paved with granite, so his head was pushed into his neck by inertia, and his body looked strange.
It was the first time for General Wen to do such a thing. The sullenness in his heart was finally let go. He patted the dust on his hands and walked towards the city gate feeling refreshed.
I don’t know what arrangements Prince Ji is making, but I only see a few of the Prince’s men looking weird...
