I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 186 Rumors Spread
Following Zhao Kai's order, the 12 troops began to penetrate into the hinterland of Western Chu like a sharp knife. Although the resistance became more intense as they got closer to Divine Phoenix City, the generals and advisers under Zhao Kai's command were not vegetarians.

It didn't take much time to open up the road leading to Divine Phoenix City. Less than a month after the start of the war, the army from the middle route reached the surrounding area of ​​the capital.

As the vanguard continued to appear around the Divine Phoenix City, the entire capital city became a little panicked. Countless civil servants in the city began to curse at Cao Changqing. It took less than a month for the battle to be fought, and the enemy army had already reached the capital city. , It's just trash!
What is even more worrying is that the coach he is dealing with is still the number one Liyang emperor in the world, can't he let the main force intercept him?This is completely different from what was previously imagined.

Right now, before Zhao Kai attacked the city, the countless nobles in the city already had their own thoughts.Since Zhao Kai disclosed his identity as half of Western Chu in Wuling City, everyone in the world knows.

In addition, Zhao Kai has never done anything to the civilians in the occupied area these days, nor has there been any rumors of murdering any captives. Therefore, many Chu people who are greedy for life and fear of death are not so afraid of surrendering. Xichu is no longer the Xichu who could kill the whole city 20 years ago.

Thousands of troops approached the city and surrounded Shenhuang City. Although the food and grass they brought could not last long, and the logistics supplies were slow, Zhao Kai was not in a hurry to attack.

Attacking the city by force has never been the best strategy. Not only is it easy to arouse the resistance of the loyalists of Western Chu, but the casualties caused by the siege are also very large.

The best way is to disintegrate internally. As the saying goes, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top!Although Zhao Kai is not particularly proficient in the art of war, he has seen the 36 tactics.

The next day, several heavy news broke out in the Emperor's City.

First, there was Kou Jianghuai, the frontline general of Western Chu, a young general who had severely injured tens of thousands of troops in Liyang.He even had a deep friendship with the new emperor of Liyang, Zhao Kai, when they were in the Shangyin Academy. They were still called brothers, and they took part in the imperial examination together. !

As soon as this news came out, the Western Chu army quickly became turbulent.Kou Jianghuai, that is one of their two most proud generals, there are only a few in Xichu who can fight, if he also turns against him, is there any hope for Xichu?
People's words are awesome, even if it is a rumor, it can be spread uproariously, not to mention that this matter is so fucking true, because Kou Jianghuai has told his friends more than once before that he has an inseparable relationship with the world's most talented man , We are as close as brothers, we went through the window together, we visited the flower building together.

There is no way to wash it away, when the news reached Kou Jianghuai who was fighting on the southern front, Kou Jianghuai immediately scolded Zhao Kai for not practicing martial arts, being despicable and vulgar.This time, even the soldiers under his command cast doubtful eyes on him. Although he explained repeatedly, some facts cannot be washed away. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, no explanation will help.Under the turmoil of the army, Xie Xizhen, the commander in chief, could only temporarily suspend his position as a general. Now, the pressure on the front line is even greater.

The famous Shuangbi of Western Chu, now there is only a single wall left.

What's more, Sun Xiji, the leading Confucian of Western Chu and a sage in the literary world, once met Zhao Kai alone before the war, and the two also reached a deal. As for the content of the deal, it is unknown.

Of course, Sun Xiji didn't say anything about this matter, and kept thanking guests behind closed doors.

In addition to these two, there is another piece of news that is even more exciting.

That was when Zhao Kai, the Emperor of Liyang, was traveling around the rivers and lakes in the early years, and fell in love at first sight with Jiang Ni, who was a maid beside the Prince of Beiliang, and the love was deeply rooted. Unfortunately, in the end, Cao Changqing beat the mandarin ducks and brought the empress Jiang Ni back here. , forcibly separated her from Zhao Kai.

This made Zhao Kai, who had no intention of taking the throne, resolutely decide to participate in the seizure of the heir, just to be able to match up with the empress. After going through hardships and obstacles, he finally sat on the throne by virtue of his status as an illegitimate child, which shows the depth of his affection.

Earlier, when Zhao Kai ascended the throne, Empress Jiang Ni went to Tai'an City to observe the ceremony and toast the new emperor, which was seen by the whole world.

There are even more rumors that Zhao Kai is 26 years old and has not yet become a queen, just to leave her the position of queen.

Previously at Chunshen Lake, he did not hesitate to fight to the death with Wang Xianzhi, who was number one in the world, and it was also because of his anger at the crown that he became a beauty.

And even after being seriously injured, he still ignored his own danger and led the troops to Divine Phoenix City in person, and did not commit any crimes to other places, but he was worried about Jiang Ni, which was enough to prove his sincerity.

Gossip is overwhelming, all kinds, everything.

It directly portrayed Zhao Kai as the most infatuated person in the world, while Cao Changqing was a cruel man who beat mandarin ducks regardless of his master's personal happiness for the great cause of national restoration.There are even more outrageous rumors, saying that the two of them even have children.

You said it was a rumor?Fart, our empress is at the top of the rouge list, and the emperor is number one in Wentao and martial arts. Is there any problem that the two are attracted to each other by their talents and looks?And whether it was Baoguo Temple, the enthronement ceremony in Tai'an City, or the battle at Chunshen Lake, which event was not done under the witness of tens of thousands of people?What if the two of them had nothing to do?

What's more exciting to these idiots is that Zhao Kai still has half of the bloodline of Western Chu. If he marries his own empress and his son inherits the great lineage, it doesn't mean that three-quarters of the whole world belongs to my Great Chu ?Isn't that blood earned?
Originally, the empress was the only child of the royal family of Chu, and she was going to marry sooner or later, except for Zhao Kai, there was no one who was more suitable for her.

When the news reached Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai also couldn't laugh or cry. This Chu people deserves to have a strong literary atmosphere, and his imagination is really rich. It would be a pity not to read some novels.

Zhao Kai swears that he definitely didn't spread the word about it, it's obviously Xichu's gang of fearful guys who are fueling the flames.

"It's hard to do. If Youngest Xu finds out now, he has to send troops to rob him."

Sometimes, when there are too many rumors, the facts are not important, because what people believe is often what they want to see the most.

On this day, Zhao Kai rode a white horse and shouted in front of the gate of Divine Phoenix City:

"Jiang Ni, I know you're inside, come out and see me!"

have to!This time, even the rumors became true.

The news reached the ears of Jiang Ni in the palace, and the empress smashed several priceless bottles in anger, cursing:

"Zhao, you mean and shameless fellow, me! @#￥￥%"
