Chapter 13: Great victory in Tianyong, the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
The failure at Tianyong Pass was unexpected.
Who would have known there was another Wang Jian.
The great defeat there completely disrupted his previous deployment.
It's not that I don't want to fight, I'm just taking this step.
But there is no way to fight on.
If the two lines of defense are not breached, people’s hearts will be hard to disperse.
A strong attack would come at an extremely high cost.
Simultaneously.
The key point is that the hidden chess pieces in the imperial capital are ineffective.
He still underestimated his eldest nephew, and also thought he underestimated the old man's methods.
"Your Majesty, let us try again and try to seize Qianzhou before Wang Jian arrives!"
Those main generals were very unwilling.
"The whole army retreats!"
Chu Cang did not count on any luck.
This time it was a bit strange, and he actually felt uneasy inside, as if some unexpected events had occurred that he could not control.
Chu Cang had a strong premonition after this failure. He was afraid that it would be difficult to sweep away the enemy in future battles as before.
They might even end up in a long-term confrontation with the imperial court.
No matter how unwilling you are, you have no choice but to accept it.
"As ordered!"
The generals gnashed their teeth and had no choice but to obey the order.
At this time, Chu Cang also looked at Yang Tianhai and said, "Old Taoist, this time the plan failed, what did you figure out?"
"Our emperor will not be willing to do this, but the secret is hidden from us. It seems that something unexpected has happened in the imperial capital. We need to make long-term plans."
Yang Tianhai also frowned tightly, trying hard to figure out the name Wang Jian.
"never mind."
Chu Cang said.
At this moment, the army besieging Qianzhou retreated at a very fast speed without any reluctance.
"The rebels have withdrawn?"
Li Yin was very confused as he watched the rebels retreating as if they were at a court meeting.
He was determined to die in battle in Qianzhou.
The fact is that the rebels are indeed about to break through all their defenses.
"Yes, the withdrawal seems to have been successful."
Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Duke Chang, is this a trick?" Li Yin was still alert.
"It's not a trick. The incident happened at Tianyong Pass. It looks like we succeeded, otherwise King Ning would not have withdrawn."
Chang Yu laughed out loud.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that Your Majesty's position will be unstable.
"Tianyong Pass!"
Li Yin's expression was shocked, and then he understood.
Chang Yu did not tell Li Yin about what happened at Tianyong Pass.
The main reason was that they were afraid that if more information was leaked, King Ning would notice the deployment.
"Clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies of the dead soldiers, and let the entire army rest on the spot. Prince Ning is withdrawing his troops this time, and there will be no more fighting in the short term. We have also bought some time to catch our breath."
Chang Yu was not careless
He continued to garrison in Qianzhou.
now.
Dijing.
Panic.
Canglong Mountains and Tianyong Pass are too close to the capital.
They could also sense the smoke of war, the actions of powerful men, and the shaking of the heavens and the earth.
Once the imperial capital is destroyed, chaos will ensue in the city.
Even if King Ning would not massacre ordinary people, when gods fight, how could ordinary mortals not be affected?
Even the common people do not believe in the slogan of "clearing the court of corrupt officials".
Bactrian Palace.
Ever since the war broke out in Qianzhou, no civil or military officials are allowed to leave the palace without permission. All of them need to stay here so they can obey orders at any time.
Battle reports from Qianzhou came in one after another like snowflakes.
In their hearts, they didn't think Chang Yu could really defend Qianzhou.
The sudden battle at Tianyong Pass shook the earth and mountains.
You can feel it in the capital.
It even makes some people think that this time it’s over and the closure will be broken soon.
Someone wrote a letter asking Chu Feng to mobilize strong men to rush to Tianyong Pass for assistance immediately.
But they were all rejected by Chu Feng one by one.
This made them sigh inwardly.
Your Majesty no longer trusts some of the powerful men who remain in the Imperial Capital, and dares not release them from the Imperial Capital to join forces with Prince Ning.
Of course, they understand.
Knowing the face but not the heart.
After all, there have been too many cases of betrayal over the years.
"The movement at Tianyong Pass has stopped. Could it be that Tianyong Pass has been breached?" They tried their best to look towards Tianyong Pass, and the movement stopped in an instant, which made them feel a little nervous.
Could it be!
"Why panic?"
Chu Feng said lightly.
The cessation of movement at Tianyong Pass indicated that Wang Jian had repelled the rebels.
As to how much results have been achieved, it is not yet known.
During the days of waiting for news, he was getting to know this world, learning the power of the emperor, and adapting to the rules of survival.
"Your Majesty, if Tianyong is destroyed and Qianzhou is unstable, the rebels will be able to march straight in. We should now close all the entrances and exits to the Imperial Capital and fight the rebels to the death!"
"Yes, now we can only rely on the defense of the imperial capital and the means of maintaining the country left by Taizu. I hope that Duke Chang can withdraw, so that we still have hope!"
A minister stepped forward.
No wonder they are.
In the past few years of fighting with the Ning Wang army, they lost more than they won, which made them really unconvinced that Tianyong Pass could win.
And some people were also thinking secretly.
He was really beaten to the capital by Prince Ning.
No matter how strict the defenses of the Imperial Capital were, they did not think they could stop Prince Ning.
And they must also consider themselves. When Prince Ning really seizes the throne, what identity will they face?
However, even if there are other thoughts in my heart.
However, they did not dare to show it in the court.
Even though His Majesty has just returned to the Pure Land, he can control the power of the empire and in this imperial capital, even Tongtian can be killed.
But at this time, Chu Feng listened to the chaotic noise in the court and said nothing.
He is waiting.
Waiting for a message.
But this expression made the ministers guess.
Your Majesty is stunned and at a loss as to what to do.
After all, sending Duke Chang to fight is the only means for Your Majesty to fight back.
Even though Your Majesty is the emperor, he is only in his twenties. How can he turn the tide when faced with such a change?
"Great victory, great victory!"
"Great victory in Tianyong!"
"The rebels attacked Tianyong Pass, our army won, and the rebels suffered heavy losses!"
"General Wang Jian defeated Li Hong and captured Zhao Yi, Marquis of Pingxing, alive. Now the army is returning to the capital!"
"Prince Ning, stop the attack. The danger in Qianzhou has been resolved!"
Outside the city gate.
A group of soldiers rushed around the imperial capital, shouting and spreading the news.
Countless people looked excited.
Hearing this news makes my blood boil.
It's been too long since any news of a big victory came back.
All they had heard in the past were where the imperial army had suffered heavy casualties and how much territory they had lost, which made them doubt whether the current emperor could hold up the country of Great Xia.
As for who Wang Jian is, they don't care.
I just think that this is the background of a certain person in Da Xia.
And in the palace.
With the arrival of the messenger soldier, the court officials also heard it.
"Did we defend Tianyong Pass?"
They also looked surprised.
The situation that was bound to be lost was turned around just like that.
What’s even more shocking is that even Marquis Pingxing was captured alive.
It was beyond my expectation.
You know, although Pingxing Hou was not one of the six founding dukes, he was at least one of the twenty-eight founding marquises. It would be impossible to capture such a strong man alive.
and many more!
Who is Wang Jian?
It seems that there is no such strong person in Daxia.
And then look at His Majesty.
No wonder he was so calm, it turned out he had made all the arrangements.
I have served Your Majesty as a minister for four years.
The way they looked at Chu Feng had changed dramatically, becoming extremely unfamiliar and different from before.
Deeper.
It also made them feel that the emperor's heart was as vast as the sea.
After all, your majesty's plan this time was carried out in secret, and the key thing was that Wang Jian did not tell them.
now.
A smile appeared on Chu Feng's face.
As expected, Wang Jian did not disappoint him and even captured Pingxing Hou alive.
Such a great victory is worth celebrating.
"Tianyong has won a great victory. General Wang has returned to the court. My dear ministers, please go with me to welcome the army and congratulate them!"
Chu Feng laughed.
