At least that senior was more discerning. When Xu Qing came with his army to fight the edict, he was a man of discernment.
The gifts are constantly given and the arrangements are made comfortably.
How can you be like this idiot, people are surrounding you, and you still think you are awesome?
Who gave you the confidence?
Li Hu walked down the tower under the cover of everyone. If it had been in the past, before the enemy attacked, the tower would have been safe. Crossbows could not hit it, and bows and arrows could not penetrate it.
But now that there are firearms on the opposite side, the damage range of those things is much larger than that of throwing stones. As long as it explodes, people within a few feet will be killed or injured, and it is not easy to fight back.
It was so suppressed by the firepower from the opposite side.
After Liu Cheng was dragged back to the camp by Li Hu, Liu Cheng looked at Li Hu angrily and said: "We came to supervise the battle under His Majesty's order, but we just scolded the rebels a little, but the rebels dared to be so presumptuous! You actually still
If you don't fight back in time, will you be worthy of His Majesty's care?"
"We think you were scared out of your wits by the rebels. There was no time for the rebels to rebel, and there was no peace. Why should you be afraid of them?"
Li Huping withdrew his men, looked at Liu Cheng and asked: "My father-in-law is teaching me how to do things?"
Liu Chengjian snorted softly and said: "My father-in-law is the military governor!"
Li Hu looked at Liu Cheng and asked, "What do you think the general should do?"
Liu Cheng said, "In my opinion, the opponent's only support is firearms. Firearms can hit far, so they will definitely not make progress. From our point of view, you should lead a large army to charge out and engage them in hand-to-hand combat. You will definitely be able to defeat the rebels and regain the lost ground!"
"
Li Hu nodded and said, "My father-in-law is indeed a genius."
Liu Chengqing hummed and said, "To tell you the truth, our family has also read several military books. If we had not gone to the palace to serve His Majesty, our family would have the potential to become good generals in the world."
Li Hu smiled and said: "That's good. Father-in-law, come over and I will give you something."
Liu Cheng thought that Li Hu would also give him some bribes like the previous generals, so he didn't have too much doubts on the spot and walked forward.
As a result, just when he reached the position where Li Hu could breathe, Liu Cheng suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head and looked at the dagger inserted in his abdomen in disbelief. Then Liu Cheng fell straight down.
I have been a soft slave who nodded and bowed all my life, but when death came, I actually straightened up!
Li Hu was fed up with this piece of shit two months ago.
Ever since he came to supervise the battle, he would either command this or that. Whenever something went wrong, he would beat or scold the soldiers, and even kill them with a stick.
The people under his command were even more complaining about Liu Cheng, but considering Liu Cheng's status, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Li Hu could only advise his soldiers to be patient, and he would give them an explanation one day.
The rebels had not yet attacked at that time, and Li Hu had no excuse for wanting to kill his father-in-law. It cannot be said that Liu Cheng fell to death, right?
Now that the enemy is attacking the city, Li Hu finally has an excuse.
Li Hu walked out, looked at the two guards guarding the door and said: "The governor Liu Cheng died at the hands of the rebels' firearms."
The two guards immediately beamed with joy when they heard Li Hu's words. They forgot that the rebels had already begun to attack the city, and said excitedly: "Yes!"
Now that Li Hu is in charge of the defense of the capital, the emperor has very few cards to play with. He is the best at guessing. Even if he guessed, the rebels are already approaching the city. Do you dare to risk the city's destruction and change generals on the spot?
?
in the palace
After Zhao Huang learned the news that Liu Cheng was killed by rebel firearms, he vomited a mouthful of blood. The pressure of the rebels approaching was great, but this was a fatal thing!
Now that another of his close associates has died, Emperor Zhao finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Except for a few unsatisfactory sons, he has no one left to use. The warlord is the last restriction he gave Li Hu. Now that the warlord is gone, it can be said that Li Hu has truly monopolized power in name!
He now controls all the troops in the capital, except for the imperial guards in the palace.
It can be said that if Li Hu opens the city gate and joins the rebels, he has no choice. The only thing he can bet on now is Li Hu's loyalty.
At this time, the emperor could only appoint the prince Song Qi to temporarily manage the affairs of the state. In fact, there was nothing easy to do. Now the court had long been in chaos. It would be enough for someone from the royal family to say something on behalf of the Song family that they had not given up on the Kingdom of Zhao.
.
In Tai Chi Palace, in front of the hospital bed
Song Qi took over the jade seal from Emperor Zhao, who was lying on the hospital bed and taught Song Qi the little experience he had accumulated over decades.
He also told Song Qi the secret passage in the palace. If he really got to the last step, he could use the secret passage to escape, but the secret passage was so narrow that he might not be able to take away much money. Even if he escaped, he would have to live in anonymity and live a lonely life.
.
Otherwise, Emperor Zhao himself would have taken the money and run away long ago.
It is a pity that he has experienced wealth for half his life and cannot adapt to the hard life. He would rather die on the dragon bed in the palace than become a hermit in poverty for half his life.
He now tells his son about this road. If you think you can endure the hardship, there will be chaos after the rebels come in. You can take the opportunity to run out.
