Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 582
【Ask for tickets and orders】

Emperor Chen was already moved. Seeing that King Zhongshan disagreed, he personally persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister actually agrees with General Han's remonstrance. However, the responsibility of the Beijing Camp is only to guard the capital. For the north of the capital, the scope is limited to the Yangtze River."

"It is extremely inappropriate to cross the river and attack Jiangpu County. That should not be within the scope of the Beijing Camp's responsibilities. If your Majesty insists on doing so, please send another expert!"

King Zhongshan's helmeted head turned sideways, refusing to accept it.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, the Prime Minister Li Zhong came out in time and bowed his hands.

Then he bowed his hand to King Zhongshan and said, "Old Prince Zhongshan, I understand that the 3 troops commanded by Marquis Qingliu are definitely no match for Old Prince Zhongshan."

"If the prince mobilizes his troops now, I believe that Jiangpu County will be in the hands of the prince before dawn. Furthermore, Qingliu Marquis only has 3 troops under his command. The prince only needs to lead [-] troops, so he can easily win!"

"Now that the situation is critical, why should the prince insist on his duties in the capital camp?"

King Zhongshan was also a stubborn cow and insisted that he would not go away alive or dead. No matter what Li Zhong said, it was useless.

Zhu Xiuyuan and other ministers were unable to interrupt and could only watch the excitement from the sidelines.

As for Zhu Xiuyuan, he actually very much agreed with Han Qingshan's suggestion.

But King Zhongshan refused, which was really embarrassing. Let’s see how Emperor Chen handles it.

At this time, King Jinling, who had been "salted fish" in the court hall for a long time, suddenly appeared.

Perhaps it was because King Jinling had shined brightly during the last court meeting to discuss the assassination of King Qian of Liang State. During this time, King Jinling had been extremely confident.

He thought he was someone special, so he hurried over to persuade King Zhong Shan.

"Uncle Emperor, the small town of Jiangpu is only a few dozen miles away. Uncle Emperor can come back as soon as he goes. It won't be a big deal. Why should he stick to the capital camp..."

King Jinling was full of confidence and talked eloquently.

Clinker, King Zhongshan has long been annoyed by Li Zhong, Chen Huang and others. It is natural for King Zhongshan not to get angry with them.

But King Jinling...

King Zhongshan didn't even notice his little performance in the last court meeting.

"Shut up!"

In his irritation, King Zhongshan actually interrupted King Jinling.

His voice was very loud, and he shouted loudly, which unexpectedly made Emperor Chen, who was above the royal level, in a trance.

Not only was Emperor Chen frightened, but King Jinling was facing King Zhongshan directly, so the "critical blow" he received was hundreds of times that of Emperor Chen.

Who is King Zhongshan? He has been fighting for half his life, and it can be said that he walked out of the pile of dead people.

His roar was like a roar of a tiger, and his power was like thunder. It was so shocking!
King Jinling was immediately shocked, and his mouth that was half-opened due to speaking did not close for a long time.

And looked at King Zhongshan blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

"How can you, a little kid like you, interfere in a major military and national matter? Go back!"

King Zhongshan went into a rage on the spot, his eyes widened in anger, like a living king of hell, his domineering momentum was too full.

As for the King of Jinling, his small body couldn't help but tremble violently.

Taking a few steps back, I almost lost my standing and fell to the ground.

At this time, all the ministers in the entire hall "shone" on King Jinling with strange eyes, like light bulbs with hundreds of watts.

King Jinling couldn't stand this strange look.

He is most afraid of others looking at him strangely.

Because of his special status, although he is the eldest son, he is not the crown prince, so he is particularly sensitive and cares about other people's judgments of him.

He is the one who will compete for the crown prince in the future, and he is also the future emperor of the Chen Kingdom!
How could one suffer such a strange look?

However, the ministers will not get used to him. What should be strange will still be strange and will not change at all.

So in an instant, King Jinling felt that the whole sky had fallen.

In the past, King Zhongshan slapped him in the face in public, and later, the ministers looked at him strangely...

And the instigator is none other than Zhongshan King!

"King Zhongshan, Liu Lin, just wait for me..." King Jinling gritted his teeth, stared at King Zhongshan fiercely, and muttered silently in his heart.

Liu Lin is exactly the name of King Zhongshan.King Jinling actually called him by his first name, which shows how much he hates him.

However, facing the vicious eyes of King Jinling, King Zhongshan showed no expression at all. He turned sideways, not bothering to look at him...

I wipe, this is being ignored!

King Jinling suddenly felt a touch of bitterness in his heart... The baby felt bitter in his heart!
"Uncle Zhongshan, if you don't go, then that's it!"

Emperor Chen suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, looked away from King Zhongshan, and with a slightly cold tone, he loudly ordered: "Where is General Jinwuwei?"

King Zhongshan's loud shout just now also startled Emperor Chen.

Is this... surprising the Holy Master?
This is probably one of the reasons why Chen Huang's tone suddenly became cold and hard.

"Chen is here!"

The two generals turned around and came to the middle of the hall, clasping their hands and clasping their fists. Their voices were also very loud.

"I order you two to lead all your troops, assemble your army and prepare for war, set off immediately, cross the Yangtze River, and capture Najiangpu County!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

The two Jinwuwei generals turned around and left without saying a word.

The Jinwu Guards were actually the emperor's private soldiers. Naturally, they acted according to Emperor Chen's orders.

Da Da Da Da!

The two Jinwu guards turned and left, their footsteps very clear.

All the officials in the hall, including Zhu Xiuyuan, were all stunned.

This Emperor Chen actually sent out the Jinwu Guards!
You should know that although the Jinwu Guards were Emperor Chen's private soldiers, they also had an important role, which was to garrison the imperial city.

The Jinwu guards have gone out to fight in the city, so who will garrison the imperial city?
It seems that Chen Huang is determined to capture Jiangpu County.

All the ministers were stunned and couldn't help but look at King Zhongshan.

Their uncle and nephew actually played such a trick. Now Emperor Chen has made a move. Let's see how King Zhongshan responds.

Da da da!
The two Jinwuwei generals left without looking back and strode towards the entrance of the hall, the sound of their footsteps still echoing in the ears of the ministers.

Seeing that they were about to leave the hall, all the ministers stared at King Zhong Shan again.

Is he really going to stand by and watch?

If this is the case, the next step will be great fun.

"Wait a minute!"

Finally, when the two Jinwu Guard generals were about to cross the threshold of the hall, King Zhongshan lost his battle and stretched out his hand to stop them.The two Jinwu Guard generals immediately stopped, retracted their raised legs, and then turned to look at Emperor Chen.

"Your Majesty, the Jinwu Guards are responsible for guarding the imperial city. Your Majesty must not send them out of the city!"

King Zhongshan turned around and said to Emperor Chen: "Since your Majesty is determined to capture Jiangpu County, I will transfer a deputy general from the Beijing camp, lead 1 troops, and set out overnight. I believe that after dawn, the good news will be spread Come."

When the ministers saw that King Zhongshan finally relented, and the tricks between their uncle and nephew came to an end, the ministers finally felt relieved.

"Although Jiangpu County is small, it is too important. Ten thousand soldiers are too few, and there are even deputy generals in the Beijing camp. I can't trust it!"

Emperor Chen "took an extra step" and stood proudly on the imperial steps, showing off the majesty of the emperor with an indifferent look on his face.

The discerning minister felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Emperor Chen's words and deeds.

No, Chen Huang is... is he going to use this to beat King Zhong Shan?

The more the ministers thought about it, the more they felt that Emperor Chen wanted to use this to defeat King Zhongshan.

After all, although King Zhongshan was loyal, he had just resisted Emperor Chen's order.Furthermore, although King Zhongshan is good at fighting and is known as the "God of War", this time King Zhongshan stumbled.

The spies and secret agents he sent out failed to detect the changes in the Yan army and Haozhou, Chuzhou, and Chuzhou in advance, not even a trace...

This is the fundamental reason why the capital is in crisis!

Although King Zhong Shan is good, Chen Huang has accumulated some dissatisfaction with him.

So I took this opportunity to give King Zhongshan a beating!
This is the emperor's mind!
Seeing that the waves were rising again, Zhu Xiuyuan and other ministers who had just been relieved became anxious again.

"His Majesty……"

"Uncle Zhongshan, except for you, I can't trust anyone else. If you personally lead the army, 1 people are too few. From my point of view... you should lead [-] soldiers, so as to quickly capture the Jiangpu County. "

"After taking Jiangpu County, Uncle Zhongshan, you are not allowed to withdraw your troops without my order."

Chen Huang raised his head and glanced at King Zhongshan below.

The reason why he added "You are not allowed to withdraw your troops without my order" was that in addition to beating King Zhongshan, he also had the idea of ​​"using Jiangpu County as a bridgehead and continuing to conquer the territory northward."

However, this depends on the speed of the Yan people's march on the west route. If they come quickly, they will stick to Jiangpu County and stop expanding their territory.

If the army from the west route didn't arrive so quickly...this would be an opportunity to strengthen the protective circle of the capital.

"Old minister...take the order!"

King Zhong Shan probably also guessed Chen Huang's imperial mind, so he sighed inwardly, and accepted Chen Huang's order.

"Without further delay, Emperor Zhongshan, you go and lead the troops across the river now!"

"Yes, the old minister retire!"

King Zhongshan sighed again, turned around and left the hall, and went down to mobilize his troops and prepare for the next battle to cross the river and attack the city.

After King Zhongshan left, the court meeting came to an end.

Emperor Chen waved his hand and announced his withdrawal from the court, and quickly left with Concubine You.

The civil and military ministers, all preoccupied, no longer gathered together in twos or threes. They just cupped their hands, and then each quickly left the palace, got on their own carriages, and rushed home as quickly as possible.

The situation has become very serious, and the influence of the Yan people has extended to Jiangpu County on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Although the Yan people's west-route army is still on the way, there are only 3 Qingliu Hou's troops in Jiangpu County at most.

For King Zhongshan and the [-] elite soldiers he led, this was a piece of cake.

However, the situation is changing rapidly, and who can say for sure what will happen tomorrow?

Don't you know that at yesterday's court meeting, the news heard by the ministers was that "the Yan people did not have any unusual movements."

But at the court meeting just now, what they heard was the news that the Yan people's influence had extended to Jiangpu County.

For this plan, these civil and military ministers just want to return to the mansion as soon as possible and make preparations overnight...

Li Zhong, the Prime Minister, was so excited after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion that he pushed aside the confused servants in the mansion and pushed open the study door. Then he pushed open a bookshelf, revealing a dark hole. He calmed down. , holding a candlestick, walked in.

The King of Jinling was filled with righteous indignation.He hurried back to the Jinling Palace in a hurry, and ordered people to summon his younger brother, Prince Kuaiji, and Chen Dongyi, the counselor in the palace, to come to the living room to discuss matters.

But in the end, only Chen Dongyi arrived, but King Kuaiji was nowhere to be seen...

After getting down from the court hall, Han Qingshan, the general of Yulin Youwei, went to the west section of the capital to inspect the city wall.

Because the Royal Guards were stationed in the western section of the capital city wall, from Tongji Gate, to Zhengyang Gate, to Chaoyang Gate, and then to Taiping Gate, this section of the city wall was under Han Qingshan's jurisdiction.

After completing the inspection, the sky was dimming, and Han Qingshan returned to his house and took a short rest. He changed into plain clothes, went out from the back door of the house, and walked east and west in the city.

By this time, it was already getting dark, and the shops on the street were opening their doors one after another.

Seemingly unintentionally, Han Qingshan walked into the teahouse again...

Half an hour later, Chen Dongyi, a counselor from the Jinling Palace, also wandered here and was taken by a boy. He didn't know where he went.

Besides, Zhu Xiuyuan.

After he came out of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City, Nayan Dashan immediately greeted him.

Yan Dashan increased his vigilance, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked around. He would stare at everyone who passed by him several times.

"Emperor!"

"Dashan, don't be too nervous. Relax. You will attract other people's attention."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Yan Dashan's overly vigilant reaction. Instead of feeling nervous, he actually found it funny.

So Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and patted his thick shoulder, teasing him to lighten the atmosphere.

"My benefactor, my subordinate is in good shape."

Yan Dashan took a deep breath and gradually relaxed his body.

"Have your father-in-law and the others been informed?" Zhu Xiuyuan walked towards the carriage.

"My benefactor, everyone has been notified. My master and my benefactor have been making preparations overnight." Yan Dashan immediately followed.

"Very good, let's go back quickly."

Zhu Xiuyuan said no more, got on the carriage and rushed to Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion as quickly as possible.

After Zhu Xiuyuan returned, he saw that Dong Cheng and the others were already in action, and the entire mansion was brightly lit.

They held a "meeting", exchanged opinions, and then went about their business.

The arrangements in the mansion were made solely by Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu. After the "meeting meeting", Zhu Xiuyuan, regardless of the night, took Yan Dashan and a group of family generals with him. Taking the token given to him by Emperor Chen, he left the mansion again and went straight to the palace. Go to Juxian Gate.

Juxian Gate is the southernmost gate in the capital.

Anyone who wants to go to the Divine Thunder Army camp ten miles south of the city must pass through this gate.

With Chen Huang's token, the captain of the imperial guard guarding the gate did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened to let Zhu Xiuyuan and his party out of the city.

After getting out of the city gate, Zhu Xiuyuan led his men and went straight to the Divine Thunder Army camp ten miles away.

The drums were beating and the generals gathered together. In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Xiuyuan informed them one by one of the news they had just learned from the meeting.
