dream of red mansion

Chapter 790
"cut!"

Outside the capital, I thought it would be easy to take the capital, but it took half a day and there was still no progress. In order not to lose prestige, Prince Kang beheaded the siege vanguard and ordered the siege to be suspended.

The siege of the city would have required several times the number of troops to fill it, coupled with the continuous emergence of firearms in the Beijing camp, the soldiers in the northern and southern camps were terrified.If this continues, you will lose your fighting spirit completely.

"My lord, there is no news from the imperial army, Hu Yong is probably dead..."

"waste!"

Prince Kang scolded angrily.

The [-] forbidden troops, although Hu Yong can't fully control them, but with the cooperation of the First Prince, and the Jinyi Army, how can it be said that their strength is not much smaller than that of the Jingying Army, they still managed to strike preemptively by surprise, and they were completely wiped out so quickly?

The order he gave Hu Yong before was to cooperate with him in attacking the city...

"My lord, since we can't take the capital for the time being, how about not attacking the city yet, and let the soldiers cut wooden climbing ladders while waiting for reinforcements? As long as there are enough climbing ladders, the damage can be greatly reduced by attacking the city..."

Ning Xianyan suggested.

Prince Kang was a little hesitant: "Of course I have backhands, but I'm afraid that there will be people who are not open-eyed to oppose me..."

What Prince Kang meant was that he is currently attacking the city in the name of countering the rebellion, but after a long time, he is afraid that some frontier troops will return to help the court.Since he wants to change his fate against the sky, naturally the sooner the better, the later will change.

"My lord, don't worry, there is actually a rebellion in the capital, even if there is no rebellion, now that we have surrounded the capital, even if they want to ask for help, there is nothing they can do.

While we are outside, we can mobilize personnel and troops at will, and wait until the troops and siege equipment are ready, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to break through the city.

During this time, we can also spread rumors in the city...

Now there is only one soldier in Beijing, and the commander of it is only a child who has not yet reached the crown. What kind of virtue does the prince not know about those people in the court?
Perhaps, we only need to use some tricks to make them kill each other inside..."

Ning Xianyan said with a sinister smile.

This is his plan to attack the opponent's weakness.

The forces in the capital are complicated, even if the army is overwhelming, they may not be willing to see the Beijing camp dominating and Jia Qing dominating...

It would be of great benefit to them if there were some slanderous rumors to make Emperor Zhengqing and the Jingying alienated, or to make some bad things secretly.

"Just do as you say."

Prince Kang agreed.

"My lord, there is a commotion in the army..."

A lieutenant general came forward to report.

"what happened?"

"In the city, arrows are shot out from the nine gates in the southeast, northwest, and small notes are tied to them. They are all written by the family members of the lieutenant officers and soldiers, saying..."

"say what?"

"My lord, you are rebelling against the king, and what you are doing is plotting rebellion. Those who follow you, lord, are all rebels. Let them know their way back, and stop being obsessed with their obsession, so as not to affect the lives of the whole family..."

After hearing this, Ning Xianzhen's expression changed, and he said quickly: "My lord, this matter has a lot to do with it, so we must deal with it carefully!"

The opponent is imitating the strategy of "besieged on all sides" to incite the morale of the army on their side.If this matter is not dealt with well, there may be a mutiny in the army!

"Check. Those who dare to spread rumors privately, beheaded!"

……

The white dove, in the hereafter, represents peace.But in this era, it does not represent peace, but strife.

The ancestors used pigeons for long-distance and fast communication very early, and the pigeons that were given the mission of communication were called carrier pigeons.

However, it is not a simple matter to use carrier pigeons to send messages.Generally speaking, pigeons can only do fixed-point messaging.Pigeon breeders cultivate them in one place, and when they mature, they take them to other places. If they are released, they will fly back to the original place according to their memory. People use this characteristic to send messages.

Although carrier pigeon communication is fast, the cost of communication is high and inflexible, so it is not suitable for civilian use.

At this time, in a small city only two or three hundred miles away from the capital, Bai Dashi received a carrier pigeon. When he saw the plum blossom mark on the carrier pigeon's wing, he was surprised and quickly took off the pigeon that was tied to the carrier pigeon. Letter on foot.

"Brother, what happened?"

Beside, Bai Er and Bai San came over, seeing Bai Da's solemn expression, they asked.

"Hou Ye sent a message, and the capital changed dramatically. Prince Kang rebelled and led troops to besiege the city. Hou Ye asked us to do our best to spread the matter to the world, and induce the local generals to lead troops to serve the king!"

"If this is the case, Lord Hou is not in danger. Shall we inform Ni Batou and lead the brothers in the line to protect Lord Hou?"

"no!"

"Although the Anbu of Xingzhong has been extremely strong in recent years, in a short period of time, at most, it can only gather brothers from cities near the capital, at most two to 3000 people. However, there are nearly [-] rebels besieging the city!
In addition, we are not soldiers after all, if we rashly gather outside the capital, it will bring trouble to Lord Hou.

However, Ni Batou and Aunt Xian'er had to be notified immediately about this matter, and it was up to them to decide what to do.

All we have to do is to spread the word of this matter to the whole world according to Lord Hou's order, and summon the teachers of the king who are diligent in the world!

Quickly recruit the fourth younger sister, fifth younger brother, sixth younger brother, seventh younger sister and eighth younger sister. "

The eighth siblings of Bai Da are the intelligence chiefs of Xunfeng Maxing Anbu.

They were able to inform the world of what happened in the capital as quickly as possible.

Of course, since Jia Qing had people train pigeons, he naturally didn't set a single point, and he sent no fewer than ten pigeons at the same time.

Some were sent to Jinling, some were sent to Datong and Jizhou, and the most important one was sent to Liaodong General Soldier, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding.

Shi Ding still owes him a whole favor.

……

Prince Kang postponed the siege because of too many casualties and no effect of the forced siege.While urgently mobilizing the forces he had secretly cultivated over the years, he asked soldiers to manufacture large siege equipment.

This move is not just for siege.His goal is to board the plane and proclaim himself emperor. In order to achieve this goal, he must have enough people to support him!
Whether it's outside the capital or in the capital...

At the same time, the imperial court is also waiting for support.Of course, since the imperial court did not anticipate such a situation in advance, they could only passively wait for support.

But because of Jia Qing, everything is a little different.

In Liaodong Town, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding looked at the note in his hand with deep eyes.

"De'an, prepare the horse and go to the school grounds!"

At the General's Mansion in Datong Town, Wei Hong's personal soldiers came in and reported: "General, there is a letter from the fast-moving people in the city."

"Fast and fast? What kind of letter does Jia boy write to me if he has nothing to do? Take it in and have a look."

After half a cup of tea.

"Damn it, this Prince Kang is still in his seventies and restless!

Brothers, let's go back to Beijing to clean up those brats who are too hungry to go shopping in brothels!If you don't want to live a good life, let our frontier army teach them how to behave! "

The importance of connections and relationships was highlighted. After Shi Ding and Wei Hong received Jia Qing's letter, they dispatched troops without any doubt.Perhaps even the imperial court may not be able to make them so active...

Fusi in the south town of Jinling City, Zhan Min looked at the woman who broke into the yamen of Fusi in the south town of Jinling with a wry smile, and said, "Miss Wu, if there is no order from the imperial court, I will raise my troops to go north. If I am framed for conspiracy, Zhan ..."

"Master Zhan, have you forgotten that if my young master hadn't helped you a year ago, you probably wouldn't have been able to get the right to search the Governor's Mansion so easily and take revenge yourself.

Now that the capital is under siege, I don't know how long it will take for the official news from the imperial court to come out. If Mr. Zhan is so pedantic and ignorant of flexibility, even if he keeps his martial arts for nothing, he may end up being an official in the future!
Mr. Zhan holds tens of thousands of horses in his hands. At this time of crisis, it is the time for a man to make contributions. If he is bound at this time, let alone making achievements, the court will hold him accountable afterwards. It is not certain whether Mr. Zhan will be able to keep this job! "

"This……"

Zhan Min was speechless.

Jia Qing is the favorite minister of Emperor Zhengqing, and Wu Xian'er is Jia Qing's concubine, so she can completely represent Jia Qing.Among other things, Jia Qing cannot afford to offend him.

"Then, I'll go get ready..."

"I also want to go north. After an hour, I will wait for Lord Zhan outside the north gate."

Wu Xian'er said goodbye and left.

When she left, the reluctance on Zhan Yan's face completely dissipated, and a hint of excitement loomed.

How could he not know that this is a great opportunity to make contributions, and he has been waiting for such an opportunity for too long...
