This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 723 The Son of Heaven Guards the Gate of the Country

"what?"

Hearing this news, Jing Yichuan's expression changed immediately, he stood up and asked the scout, "About how many people are there?"

The scout wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand up because of the wounds all over his body, which caused too much bleeding. Xing Xinhe hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and saw the scout leaning on Xing Xinhe and said hard: "No less than [-]. "

Jing Yichuan, Yang Ping, and Xing Xinhe suddenly turned pale.

"How far are they from Yunzhou at this moment?"

"It's less than two hundred miles away."

For a moment, Jing Yichuan felt as if his brain exploded with a bang, and he staggered and couldn't stand still. If Yang Ping hadn't been quick to support him, he might have fallen to the ground.

Most of the Huns were mainly cavalry, and at a distance of two hundred miles, they might be able to reach the city of Yunzhou in just four hours. At the moment, there are only 1 soldiers left in Yunzhou. How can they face fifty thousand elite Huns? Can you keep it?

Now almost all the troops of the states and counties of Dazhou have been concentrated in Pingyang Pass, and the [-] troops in Yunzhou have also been taken by Wen Ruyan to Jinling City. Who can support them now?
Behind Yunzhou is Yanjing, the national capital, and the soldiers of the third battalion of Yanjing were also taken to Pingyang Pass by Yang Zhong. At this moment, apart from the two patrol battalions, there are only five thousand black cavalry battalions and three thousand imperial palaces left behind in Yanjing. The imperial forest army is gone, and all the troops add up to only [-]. You can't mobilize all the [-] soldiers in Yanjing City, can you?Doesn't Yanjing, the capital of the country, have no defenses anymore?

The emperor and the courtiers are all in Yanjing. If there are a few people with ulterior motives at this time, wouldn't the Great Zhou be torn to pieces?
What's more, Yunzhou is nearly three hundred miles away from Yanjing. They still need to send a letter to Yanjing at this moment. breached.

That's why Jing Yichuan showed such an appearance, because he figured out the key point in an instant.

I saw him being supported by Yang Ping at the moment, his eyes were red and his face was full of anger, and he yelled at the seriously injured scout: "The Xiongnu army is less than two hundred miles away from Yunzhou, so I want to ask you, why did you come here until now?" Discovered? There were no less than two hundred scouts sent into the grassland, how could you watch the Huns army leave the grassland without reporting it?"

The scout's eyes turned red immediately, no matter how hard he endured, the tears still couldn't stop from the corners of his eyes, and he choked up and said: "Commander, all the two hundred brothers on the grassland are gone, all All the hiding places of my brothers were dug out by the Huns, and finally the remaining eight brothers lured the Huns away for me regardless of life and death, so I was able to escape from the grassland and report back."

Jing Yichuan immediately sat down on the stone bench behind him, muttering to himself: "We were fooled."

Yang Ping's face was also pale at this moment, and the drunkenness just now had all dissipated at this moment. He waved and summoned two soldiers to help him scout down to treat his wounds, and then sat down on the stone bench.

Both of them can be regarded as veterans who have experienced many battles. How could they not understand after hearing so much from the scouts?The retreat of the Huns was all fake, it was just an illusion created on purpose. The Zuoxian King is definitely not dead, it was just a fake death to let them relax their vigilance. Waiting for the scouts in Yunzhou to throw themselves into the trap.

Xing Xinhe, the governor of Yunzhou, stood aside and watched the two coaches, who were looking exactly the same, become like this. Dang even said eagerly: "The two of you need to think of a way now!"

Jing Yichuan took a deep breath, then stood up and summoned the messengers to directly order: "Send our military order to order [-] soldiers to go up to the city wall and stand in formation, and the remaining [-] soldiers should evacuate the people in the city as soon as possible, and let them retreat to the hinterland of Dazhou! Send people to hurry up! Go to Yanjing, and inform His Majesty of the situation here one by one, tell Your Majesty, prepare to move!"

After saying the last five words, Jing Yichuan's strength seemed to be emptied in an instant, and his usual heroic demeanor no longer existed at this moment.

"The last will obey!"

After the orderly left in a hurry, Xing Xinhe asked Jing Yichuan with a face of shock: "Evacuate the people? Let Your Majesty move? Are you crazy? Since the founding of our country, Yanjing has been our capital. When will the emperor be?" Moved?"

Jing Yichuan looked sad, and said: "If you can't hold it, you can't hold it at all. The Huns are more terrifying than Southern Chu. Once Yunzhou falls, they will slaughter the city in the shortest time, and don't expect your majesty to support us. Now, the army of Yanjing City cannot move! They must ensure the safety of His Majesty! Master Xing, prepare to fight to the death!"

After Jing Yichuan finished speaking the last sentence, he got up and left and rushed towards the city wall of Yunzhou.

Just as he imagined, about four hours later, the Huns army approached the city of Yunzhou.

At the same time, the messenger soldiers sent by Yunzhou ran to death and rushed to Yanjing City desperately. When Emperor Zhou received the news, he gathered all the courtiers in the court hall.

Many civil servants were frightened when they heard the news, and the faces of the generals who stayed in Yanjing turned pale at the moment. They were not afraid of fighting, but because the Xiongnu When will people have the ability to hit Yanjing City, the capital of the country?
The situation at this moment is unprecedentedly severe. Several officials immediately stood up and asked the emperor Zhou to move. The country may be in danger, but the emperor cannot make any mistakes.

As soon as their words fell, Su Dinghe was about to speak, but Zhen Guogong Chen Ling went out directly, and said directly to Zhou Tianzi: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill these cowardly people. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, There is a saying that the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country, otherwise, why did you set the capital in Yanjing? Your Majesty is the current emperor, and your majesty has drawn a sharp knife from its sheath. Could it be that your majesty can't pull out the sharp knife from his waist and lead us to guard the capital?"

The few officials who made the remarks just now were furious, pointing at Chen Ling and accusing him: "What does Lord Zhen Guo mean by this? Jing Yichuan has already stated that it is impossible to defend Yunzhou. You can arrive there in half a day, do you think that only [-] troops in Yanjing can stop the cavalry of the Huns? But if something happens to His Majesty, you will not be able to atone for your crimes!"

"Hmph!" Chen Ling waved his sleeves immediately, then turned around and glared at the man, saying, "If you are afraid of death, don't make excuses. You and other civil servants are probably engraved with the words greedy for life and afraid of death."

"you!"

Even Su Dinghe, the leader, turned dark when he heard what Chen Ling said.

They still wanted to continue to quarrel, but Zhou Tianzi was directly angry: "Enough!"

"I will not leave Yanjing. The country set by my ancestors cannot be left in my hands. Otherwise, how can I have the face to go down to meet my great Zhou ancestors in a hundred years? If someone asks me to move, There will be no mercy!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Ling and a group of generals immediately bowed to Emperor Zhou.

Those civil servants were so resentful that they didn't dare to speak again.

"Pass down my will, tell Prince Jing Wen Ruyan to return to help quickly, and tell him directly that if you come back late, you won't see me."
