Chapter 1388: The Great Liang Civil War [two in one]
"PS: Actually, not only are book friends anxious, but I don't really want to write about the civil war in Wei. Fast forward, I'm tired of writing about Su Wang Zhao Run."
————The following text————
In mid-February of the 25th year of Hong De's reign, the "Qing King's Army" led by Qing Wang Hongxin and the "Suppression of Rebellion Army" led by Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo approached Daliang one after another.
Prince Hongyu did not care much about the "King Qing Army" led by King Zhao Hongxin of Qing. The problem was the "Suppression Army" led by Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang. Prince Hongyu originally thought that the "Wei Wu Army" under General Shaohu could
The latter was intercepted in Song County.
Unexpectedly, Shao Hu was actually dumped by Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang.
Of course, this is not the problem. After all, even if he is thrown away by the anti-rebellion army of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, Wei Wujun can still return to aid Daliang. The key is, is Shaohu really dumped by Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo?
Otherwise, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo is a commander with the power to destroy a country, but General Shaohu is not far behind. At least he is at the level of a garrison general. What's more, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo has 50,000 people under his command.
To suppress the rebel army, is it really an easy task for an army of 50,000 to get rid of an army of the same number of 50,000?
Of course, these were Prince Hongyu's own suspicions. After all, according to common sense, General Shaohu did not have any motive to betray Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.
After much deliberation, Prince Hongyu finally paid a visit to King Yu, Zhao Yuandai.
In the past year or so, like the Emperor of Wei Zhao Yuanxi who was resting and recuperating in the Manlu Palace, the King of Yu Zhao Yuanqi rarely appeared in public, and could almost be said to have faded away from the government and the public. In the early days, he often went to the Manlu Palace to see the Emperor of Wei on crutches.
Playing chess, but after Prince Hongyu took control of the palace, Prince Yu simply stayed at home, playing with a green bird given to him by Zhao Sheng, the king of Yu, every day.
King Yu Zhao Yuandai had two sons. The eldest son was called "Zhao Chengyi" and the second son was called "Zhao Chengyue". They both moved to Daliang with their mother after the "Battle of Yongqiu in Wei and Chu". After all, at that time, King Yu Zhao Yuan
You have been forced to stay in Daliang by Emperor Wei.
However, neither of these two people served in the imperial court. They only claimed to the outside world that they came to Daliang just to take care of their old parents.
The second son, Zhao Chengyue, had more or less complaints about this. After all, he thought that after coming to Daliang, he would be able to develop his ambitions. Unexpectedly, his father actually banned them from serving as officials.
When Zhao Chengyue asked about the reason, King Yu Zhao Yuandai did not explain too much, but just warned his son: It is not the time yet.
Today, after learning that Prince Hongyu came to visit, Zhao Chengyi, the eldest son of King Yu Zhao Yuandai, came to his father's study to report the matter.
King Yu Zhao Yuanke sighed after hearing the news. He had already guessed the reason why Prince Hongyu came to visit today.
"Invite the prince to the study." King Yu Zhao Yuandai told his eldest son.
Zhao Chengyi retreated respectfully, and after a while, he invited Prince Hongyu to the study.
"Uncle Five."
After meeting Yu Wang Zhao Yuande, Prince Hongyu took the lead in bowing respectfully.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai also returned the greeting, and then asked Zhao Hongyu to sit down on the seat in the study, and said with a smile: "Why is Your Highness the Crown Prince free to come to my residence today?"
Prince Hongyu thought about it for a moment. Perhaps because of the worrying situation in Daliang, he did not hide it and simply said straight to the point: "Uncle Wu, the rebels of King Qing have arrived at Daliang City."
King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai was calm when he heard the words and looked at the prince Hongyu indifferently, his expression seemed to be saying: Why is your highness the prince telling me this?
Seeing this, Prince Hongyu frowned slightly and said, "Fifth Uncle..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Wang Zhao Yuanke raising his hand. The latter looked at the prince Hongyu and said with emotion: "These days are passing so fast. Back then, King Qing
I also hugged him on the day of his birth, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was by his side. In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and I have reached the end of my life. Alas, time is not forgiving..."
His words seemed to be lamenting the current feud between the brothers, Prince Hongyu and King Qing Hongxin, but in fact they were hinting to Prince Hongyu: You are both my nephews, and I don’t want to get involved in the internal fight between you two for the throne.
.
After understanding the hidden meaning of Yu Wang Zhao Yuan'er's words, Prince Hongyu was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "However, the King of Nanliang also led his troops here... My nephew thinks that in Daliang now, only the fifth uncle can compete with Nanliang.
The king of Liang resisted."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks too highly of me." King Yu Zhao Yuankai smiled and shook his head when he heard this. After covering his mouth and coughing a few times, he thought: "The move of the King of Nanliang is indeed inappropriate, but I am old and sick.
, I’m afraid I can’t help His Highness the Crown Prince much. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t mind my nagging, I can give His Highness the Crown Prince some advice...”
"..." Prince Hongyu pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed his face and said: "The fifth uncle's physical condition has always been poor, how can my nephew force others to make things difficult? However, the current war in Daliang is imminent. I hope that Long Ji, Yi Gu, and Zhao Bao will be in trouble."
General, can you give me a helping hand?"
King Yu Zhao Yuanke looked at Prince Hongyu for a while, then nodded and said: "Of course, after all, Long Ji and others are also serving generals."
A moment later, after Prince Hongyu left, Zhao Chengyi, the eldest son of King Yu Zhao Yuandai, came to the study and asked his father: "Father, what did the prince talk to you?"
Therefore, King Yu Zhao Yuanke told his son the exact conversation he had just had with Prince Hongyu.
After hearing this, Zhao Chengyi asked in surprise: "His Royal Highness, you want to activate Long Ji and the other three?"
No wonder Zhao Chengyi was so surprised. You must know that since Prince Hongyu took control of Daliang, three former imperial guards of the Wei Dynasty, such as Zhu Hai, Baili Ba, and Xu Yin, as well as Long Ji, Yi Gu, Zhao Bao and other Yu Wang Zhao Yuanji
Zongwei, these generals of the Wei State were all thrown into the "Military School" by Prince Hongyu. Even the Wei Wujun side, if it weren't for the fact that Prince Hongyu had no generals who could restrain Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, there would be no way to do it.
Well, even Shao Hu will be dismissed.
But now, even if the Qing King Zhao Hongxin and the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo led their troops to attack, if Prince Hongyu is willing to use those generals currently idle in Daliang, then Zhao Chengyi thinks that Prince Hongyu's side may not have no chance of winning in this battle.
However, facing his son's speculation, King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai shook his head.
In his opinion, it was clearly because of a guilty conscience that Prince Hongyu came to see him and begged for help. This was probably the case with the so-called "emergency medical treatment".
However, after this disaster is over, will Prince Hongyu still reuse Baili Ba, Xu Yin, Long Ji and others?
King Yu Zhao Yuanke expressed his disapproval.
The reason is very simple, because Prince Hongyu does not have the courage and confidence to defeat the clan guards with their illustrious military achievements of his father's generation.
Suddenly, a face gradually appeared in the mind of King Yu Zhao Yuandai.
"I'm afraid that only His Highness can use these generals without any worries..."
He murmured in his heart.
At the same time, Prince Hongyu had left Prince Yu's Mansion.
At this time, Prince Hongyu was not in an optimistic mood, because he could see that the fifth uncle really did not want to get involved in the affairs between their brothers.
From an optimistic point of view, this shows that Shaohu did not intentionally let go of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, but from another point of view, he did not get the full support of his fifth uncle, the king of Yu, Zhao Yuanke.
After returning to the East Palace, Prince Hongyu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to use three generals: Long Ji, Yi Gu, and Zhao Bao. After all, these three generals did not have much foundation in Daliang. In dealing with Cheng Gao's army, which formed part of the Imperial Guard,
Dredging
The Fenxing Army and the Fenxing Army do not have much prestige, unlike Bailiba, Xu Yin, and Zhu Hai. Perhaps as long as they stand up and give an order, the Chenggao Army, the Junshui Army, and the Fenxing Army's old corps among the imperial guards,
They will defect immediately.
Of course, just in case, Prince Hongyu did not grant military power to Long Ji, Yi Gu, and Zhao Bao. Instead, he appointed the three as generals to join the army. To put it bluntly, it was a sinecure with only the right to advise but not the right to lead.
As for the military power of the imperial guards, Prince Hongyu still let his clan guards take charge.
Half a day later, when Long Ji, Yi Gu, and Zhao Bao received the appointment of Chui Gong Hall in their respective mansions, they secretly laughed: If you don't trust them so much, why use them?
However, complaints are complaints. After receiving the edict, Long Ji, Yi Gu, and Zhao Bao still chose to obey it. After all, Prince Hongyu now represents the orthodoxy, unless they rebel to the side of Qing Wang Hongxin.
Otherwise, you must obey the orders of His Royal Highness.
In addition to the Imperial Guards, Prince Hongyu also ordered to "reorganize" the three armies of King Su, the Yanling Army, the Shangshui Army, and the Youma Army.
To put it simply, Prince Hongyu used a few letters from King Su Zhao Hongrun to take over the military power of the three armies, and deceived the generals of the three armies into Prince Su's Mansion and placed them under house arrest.
Among them, fierce generals like Wu Ji were tied up in chains by the guards and imprisoned.
During this period, Prince Hongyu also thought about recruiting the generals of these armies. After all, these three armies can be said to be the most outstanding military units in the Wei Kingdom in the past ten years. There are many fierce generals in the army, and what Prince Hongyu lacks now is
A general who can lead troops to fight.
But unfortunately, I don’t know if I heard the rumor that “King Su was killed while escaping from Daliang.” Yan Mo and Sun Shuke of the Yanling Army, Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, and You Ma of the Shang Shui Army
Ma You, who was in charge of the army, angrily refused.
On the other hand, Qu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling Army, was slightly moved by Prince Hongyu's offer after learning about the death of King Su Zhao Run, but it was only a move because he knew very well that if he dared to accept Prince Hongyu's offer,
Then, when Yan Mo, Sun Shuke, Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others get out of trouble in the future, I guarantee that they will find a way to kill him as a traitor.
Regarding the loyalty of these generals to Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, Prince Hongyu also felt a little incredible.
Especially Qu Cheng. According to Prince Hongyu's understanding of this person, this person does not seem to be a die-hard loyal person - perhaps when Su Wang Zhao Hongrun is still alive, Qu Cheng will be loyal to the former, but when the former is gone,
Qu Cheng may not continue to die in service, after all, this is a man who is very obsessed with status and power.
In this regard, Zhang Qigong revealed the truth straight away: "Although King Su is no longer here, there is still the crown prince Zhao Wei."
Prince Hongyu suddenly realized this and once again went to see the generals of King Su's army who were under house arrest. On the one hand, he explained that he had no reason to harm King Su Zhao Hongrun. On the other hand, he made a promise to these generals, which was probably to keep Shang Shui.
Yi, leaving the family property of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun to the latter's son Zhao Wei, as long as these generals are willing to serve him.
However, under the coercion and inducement of Prince Hongyu, Yan Mo, Sun Shuke and others reluctantly accepted the former's conditions, while Wu Ji was still imprisoned because he did not believe Prince Hongyu's explanation.
"Note: This is the importance of "heir" in ancient times. If the head of the family unfortunately passes away, those loyal generals and retainers will automatically be loyal to the "successor"; on the contrary, if there is no heir, these retainers and retainers will be at a loss, and eventually
Bengli and disbandment. The king establishes a prince, and the prince establishes an emperor's grandson. This is also the principle."
So, when Qing King Zhao Hongxin and Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo led their troops to approach Daliang, they not only encountered the Imperial Guards, but also encountered three armies: the Shangyanling Army, the Shangshui Army, and the Youma Army.
It has to be said that even Qing Wang Hongxin was a little panicked when he saw the three armies of Shangshui Army, Yanling Army and Youma Army.
After all, these three armies are the elite of King Su Zhao Hongrun who have never suffered a defeat in his southern and northern campaigns. Even the Youma Army of the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army have shone brightly many times, no exaggeration.
Let alone the miscellaneous troops under Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin, even the anti-rebellion troops under Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo did not dare to compete head-on with the Youma Army. After all, it was the only heavy cavalry in Wei that was built with a lot of money.
.
"Old Ba was obviously killed by the Crown Prince, so why would these three armies help the Crown Prince?"
After learning about this, King Qing Zhao Hongxin said angrily.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, said calmly: "The prince must have made some promises to the generals of these three armies... Don't forget, Zhao Run has a son."
King Qing Zhao Hongxin was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, and immediately sent someone to contact Qu Cheng, Zhai Huang, and Ma You privately, and also made a promise that "when things come true, I will re-confer the title of Prince Su's eldest son, Zhao Wei."
Qu Cheng, Zhai Huang, and Ma You did not reject the overtures from King Qing Hongxin, and of course they did not accept them.
Anyway, for them, no matter who wins the throne in the end, Prince Hongyu or Qing Wang Hongxin, it has little to do with them. Therefore, the deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, Zhai Huang, simply hinted that his generals would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.
Due to the covert attack by Su Wang's army, Qing Wang's army under Qing Wang Hongxin was not defeated by the former at the first meeting.
On the other hand, Bosile, the leader of the Jiejiao cavalry in Sanchuan, really turned to the side of Prince Hongyu and launched a harassment and raid on King Qing's army.
It's no wonder, after all, Bosile is not a retainer or general of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, but a surrender of the defeated to the victor. And now that Su Wang Zhao Hongrun is gone, Bosile will naturally join another Ming master -
-In his opinion, Prince Hongyu, who holds the power of Wei State, is a good candidate.
A few days later, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang arrived with their troops one after another. At this time, Shao Hu also led 50,000 Wei Wu troops to Daliang.
At this moment, more than half a million troops have gathered in the outer suburbs of Daliang.
Except for King Su's army, which was fishing in troubled waters, the other armies fought fiercely. For example, Bosile's 50,000 Jijiao cavalry showed the three kings what it meant to be "no less than the elite cavalry of Korea". The Sanchuan cavalry fought three
The king's troops did not dare to take the lead, as if they could single-handedly lift the siege of Daliang for Prince Hongyu.
But unfortunately, after the "Northern First Army", "Sanyang Army" and "Qingwang Army" all used Wugang Chariots, which are specially designed to restrain cavalry, Bosile's Jijiao Cavalry
, it will be difficult to be as arrogant as before.
But even so, facing Daliang, which was said to be guarded by 200,000 imperial guards, Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin was helpless.
In fact, during this period, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou, also made a suggestion to Qing Wang Hongxin, that is, to find a way to capture "Yecheng" southwest of Daliang City. As the seat of the Metallurgical Bureau, "Yecheng", I believe there must be many
Weapons that can be used to capture cities.
But unfortunately, King Su's army is currently stationed in the Yecheng area. King Qing Zhao Hongxin will not take the initiative to provoke the opponent, right?
At this moment, a man named "Wei Tao" took the initiative to pay homage to King Qing Zhao Hongxin.
After hearing about this, King Qing Hongxin felt a little puzzled.
Because this "Wei Tao" was the messenger sent to him by King Xiang, or today's King Zhao Hongjing of Yangzhai, who was mainly responsible for contacting information between the two brothers.
But because Zhao Hongjing suddenly lost contact with her recently (she was placed under house arrest by Zhao Hongrun), Qing Wang Hongxin also forgot about this person.
Unexpectedly, this person suddenly came to see me today.
Although he was a little puzzled, Qing Wang Hongxin finally received this person.
Unexpectedly, after Wei Tao entered the commander's tent, he did not talk about things related to Yangzhai King Zhao Hongjing as Qing Wang Hongxin imagined. Instead, he smiled and said to Qing Wang Hongxin: "His Royal Highness Qing Wang is trying to break the beam."
And troubled? I am not talented, but I know a secret that can help His Highness Prince Qing lead his army to march directly into the city."
King Qing Hongxin was surprised when he heard this and asked: "What secret?"
Wei Tao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Qing, there is actually a secret passage that leads directly from the outside of the city to the inside of the city."
Hearing this, Qing Wang Hongxin was shocked and asked in surprise: "Seriously?!"
"It's absolutely true!" Wei Tao said with a smile: "If I tell you any lies, His Highness Prince Qing can chop off someone's head."
Seeing the other party's swearing, Qing Wang Hongxin believed it a little, and then he asked curiously: "How do you know there is this secret passage?"
Also, he, Zhao Hongxin, has lived in Daliang for thirty years and has never heard of a secret passage that can lead directly from outside the city to the city. How did Wei Tao know about it?
Seeing Qing Wang Hongxin's face full of doubts, Wei Tao said with a smile: "Your Highness King Qing doesn't know because His Highness did not go to Zhongyang to participate in the emperor's hunt. During the emperor's hunt that day, when Prince Yi was telling the secrets of that year, he mentioned
There has never been such a secret passage..."
"King Yi...Uncle Liu Wang?"
King Qing Hongxin was doubtful, but thinking that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, he ordered Yan Lang, the chief of the imperial clan, to go there in person that night. Unexpectedly, he found the passage in a farmer's warehouse outside the city.
The entrance to the secret passage into the city.
After Yan Lang returned to the military camp and reported the matter to Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin, the latter was so happy that he immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, to tell the latter about the matter.
At that time, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, took a deep look at Wei Tao for a few times, and then slowly said: "Indeed, I have heard that there is such a secret passage, but I have never known where the entrance outside the city is.
"
The joyful King Zhao Hongxin of Qing did not notice the unnatural tone of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, when he said these words. He said with a face of joy: "Get this secret passage and break through the beam in an instant!"
Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, said nothing.
Late at night the next day, King Qing Hongxin sent General Pang Huan under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang, to lead the elite anti-rebellion army to sneak in through a secret passage while it was dark and successfully arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion in the city.
Around the time of waiting, Qing Wang Hongxin attacked the city from outside, while Pang Huan, the general of the anti-rebellion army in the city, also attacked the city gate from the inside, causing chaos among the Imperial Guards. They hurriedly reported the matter to Prince Hongyu who was in the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the rebels don't know how to break into the city!"
"What?!" Prince Hongyu was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly put on his clothes, climbed up to the high building of the mansion, and looked at the city.
As expected, fire broke out everywhere in the city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
He simply couldn't believe it. You must know that he also deployed heavy troops on the city wall of Daliang. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Qing Wang Hongxin's rebels to break through the city.
"Send troops for reinforcements quickly!" he shouted angrily.
Although Prince Hongyu immediately dispatched additional troops, unfortunately, faced with a steady stream of anti-rebellion soldiers coming from nowhere in the city, the imperial guards gradually lost control of the city gates.
By the time the South City Gate was breached by General Pang Huan of the anti-rebellion army, the situation was already extremely unfavorable for Prince Hongyu.
Seeing this, the loyal guard quickly said: "Your Highness, the rebels are powerful, please retreat to the palace immediately."
"retreat?"
Prince Hongyu's face was gloomy.
If we retreat to the palace at this time, we can certainly maintain temporary peace, but what should we do next?
Thinking of this, he shouted angrily: "Send the order and order the troops to fight hard and drive the rebels out of the city!"
As a result, the imperial guards and the rebels of Qing Wang Hongxin started a bloody battle in the city.
But unfortunately, after King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang noticed the changes in Daliang, they also took the opportunity to capture the west gate of Daliang. After that, the imperial guards in the city retreated steadily.
In desperation, Prince Hongyu had no choice but to retreat to the palace.
Waiting for dawn, King Zhao Hongxin of Qing rode on his horse, leading Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, Sun Mou of Huzhou, Hou Fengshu of Yuanling, Zhao Jian of Wanlong, Jiang Dan of Gaoyang, Li Yang of Pingcheng, Ji Yan of Kuangcheng and others, swaggering about.
We arrived at the Prince's Mansion (formerly Prince Yong's Mansion) in the city.
At this time, the prince's palace had been captured, and the guards of King Qing Zhao Hongxin also found many royal regalia from the palace that the prince Hongyu had sewn for his enthronement.
During this period, two guards seemed to want to please King Qing Hongxin, so they took the clothes of a Wei king. They probably wanted King Qing Hongxin to try to see if they fit.
Seeing this, Qing Wang Hongxin burst out laughing.
In his opinion, now that Prince Hongyu has been defeated and King Su Hongrun is dead, who else can stop him from seizing the throne of Wei?
But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from his side and pushed him aside.
Unexpectedly, he was pushed aside. King Qing Zhao Hongxin was angry and shocked, but when he turned around to see the person coming, his face was filled with astonishment.
He asked in confusion: "Old Qi, are you crazy?"
It turned out that the person who pushed him away was none other than Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin.
Under the stunned gaze of Qing Wang Hongxin, Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin took the royal robe from the hands of the two equally stunned guards, put it on his body, and then smiled and said to Qing Wang Hongxin: "Fifth brother, you have worked hard these years.
It’s up to you, and leave the rest to me.”
"You guy..." Qing Wang Hongxin laughed angrily.
Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, because when he suddenly turned around and looked around, Pang Huan, Yang Yu, Meng Luo, Chen Ji and other generals under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, all looked dull.
He did not express any attitude towards the scene in front of him.
"..."
After opening his mouth, Qing Wang Hongxin subconsciously turned his head and looked at Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo not far behind him: "Fifth... uncle?"
I saw Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, lowering his head slightly and saying nothing.
Seeing this scene, Huyouhou Sun Mou also realized that something was wrong, pointed at Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin and shouted sternly: "Come here, capture him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards standing behind Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huyou, stepped forward in a few steps.
But before taking two steps, these guards stopped because at some point, Pang Huan, the general who suppressed the rebel army, had stood behind Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin.
Seeing this, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huyou, quickly said to the princes around him: "Marquis Yuanling, Marquis Wanlong, wait..."
At this point, he couldn't go on.
Because he saw that the Marquis of Yuanling, Uncle Feng, the Marquis of Wanlong, Zhao Jian, the Marquis of Gaoyang, Jiang Dan, the Marquis of Pingcheng, Li Yang, the Marquis of Kuangcheng, Ji Yan and several others, after looking at each other in confusion, all glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.
Immediately, they took a step back in tacit agreement.
Seeing this, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huyou, turned to look at Wei Feng, the head of the Wei family in Tianshui.
But I saw the latter looking left and right, and said with a smile but not a smile: "This is really..."
Having said that, he also took a step back and made his position clear.
At this time, Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin pointed at Hu Youhou Sun Mou and Qing Wang Hongxin, and said calmly: "General Pang, please capture Hu Youhou and the five brothers."
"Yes!" Pang Huan accepted the order with his fists clasped and waved, signaling to the rebel soldiers in the towns to capture Qing Wang Hongxin and Hu Mouhou Sun Mou.
Compared with Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huyou who resisted angrily, Hongxin, the King of Qing, just looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, with a dull expression.
After the two men were escorted away, Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin turned his head and glanced in the direction of the palace, and said with a chuckle: "Among the brothers, only the old prince Zhao Hongli, the current prince Zhao Hongyu and Su Wang Zhao Hongrun are the most troublesome...
…And now, there is only one Zhao Hongyu left.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and said with a chuckle: "Third uncle, please continue to attack the palace in the name of King Qing."
"..." Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo flashed a hint of struggle in his eyes, but in the end he nodded silently.
About half an hour later, the news that "Daliang was breached by the rebels" had reached Zhao Hongrun's ears from the Green Crows.
At the same time, in the Manlu Hall in the palace, Emperor Wei also lifted up his quilt and stood up, and with a heavy face he took the Emperor's Sword hanging on the wall.
"...it's time."
As if they had a clear understanding of each other, the father and son spoke in unison.
