A month later.
With the cooperation of Kunwu, Gu Shubai led his army all the way to Xixian city.
Kun Wushang once served as the chief General of the army. He had some resources in the army, but it was not so smooth.
It's too easy to break the city all the way, which makes Kun Yuyang and others feel strange and worried that this is a trap.
Gu Shubai was not surprised.
"Just look at the soldiers who have joined in."
Kunyuyang with curiosity, personally to the surrender of the soldiers in the camp to see, this found strange.
Half of the soldiers spoke with Dongling's accent, and they talked enthusiastically about "taking care of the family" without being discouraged.
It seems that they are not soldiers of Xikun, but soldiers of Beili.
"We are not from Xikun or Beili. We are all from Dongling!"
The soldier and Kunyu Yang said: "if Dongling had not become like this, how could we have been exiled to Xikun and become soldiers of Xikun? We don't know anything else. We only know that the only one is renshizi. We'll follow him wherever he is. It must be right! "
Kunyuyang can't help laughing, she really underestimated Gu Jiajun's prestige in the hearts of Dongling people.
Emperor Kun had a good idea. He thought that the army of Xikun could be strengthened by attracting the refugees of Dongling to Xikun. How could he think that these people had weakened the defense of Xikun?
When they see Gu Shubai, they rush to join him, regardless of whether he is from Xikun or Beili.
In these turbulent times, all lands and cities are bargaining chips between countries. Today they belong to Dongling, and tomorrow they may belong to Xikun.
The country's attraction to the people is too small. Only a real hero can respond.
Gu Shubai is just like this.
"Newspaper -"
news came from outside the account, "senior general, we can't get in touch with the seventh prince. Our people are still inquiring about what happened. We only know that the Xikun Dynasty is in a mess now!"
Gu Shu's white eyebrows frowned, "what does it mean to be unable to contact? I don't know the specific situation. I don't even have a general guess?"
The soldier said quickly: "the Scout said that with the army close to Xixian City, the royalists in the court and the supporters of kunjun Yue gradually targeted the seventh prince. Before the seventh Prince lost contact, the spies saw that some courtiers had brought people into the seventh Prince's house, and then there was no news of the seventh prince. Our people can't get into the mansion, but it can be concluded that the seventh Prince didn't get out of the mansion. "
Without leaving the government, they lost contact, either imprisoned or assassinated.
Gu Shubai didn't want him to have an accident. He was able to lead the soldiers straight into Kunwu. Originally, their exchange condition was that Kunwu would cooperate with him, and he wanted to arrive as soon as possible to save Kunwu's life.
If Kunwu is injured to death, not only will he feel guilty, but the situation in Xikun will be more chaotic, and no one can lead.
Gu Shubai looked at the soldiers and said, "is there any news from the Xikun dynasty?"
"No, I didn't write back, and I didn't submit my letter."
Xixian City, after all, is the capital of the country with dense population. There are many aristocrats and courtiers in Xixian city.
The letter of persuasion had been sent to the central government, but there was no movement.
He could imagine that at the moment, the central government of Xikun must be debating whether to surrender or resist.
Surrender is not the style of Xikun, a belligerent country, but resistance The strength of Beili army is not inferior to that of gujia army. They have no capital to resist.
Gu Shubai pulled an arrow from the case, "no, since they can't make a decision, the general will help them."
The arrow was thrown down and the fire flew up to Xixian city.
Among the Three Kingdoms in Kyushu, only Beili had firearms, but people just heard of them and never saw them.
I don't want to see them today.
Red fireball with flame, flying towards the direction of the Xikun palace, landing with the sound of the earth shaking, a palace was blown away half in an instant.
Kunyuyang knew the layout of Xixian city very well, and directed the firearm battalion to shoot the guns in the direction of the Xikun palace to avoid hurting the innocent people in the city.
The courtiers in the palace were gathering in the golden palace, quarreling endlessly, and were suddenly quiet when the artillery exploded.
"What's going on?"
"It's artillery. It's Beili's artillery!"
"Isn't it true that Beili owns artillery? I've never seen them use it
Just then, another gun fell on the square in front of the hall, blowing up bursts of black smoke, and the Minister of the Hall fell on the ground, in a great confusion.
"Cough, cough..."
All the blood and fighting spirit were lost in the face of this powerful weapon. They knew that no matter how skillful the Xikun warriors were, they could not fight against this kind of artillery.
It's like heaven's condemnation. They can only bear it with their heads down and can't compete with human power.
"Newspaper"Soldiers rushed in from outside the hall. "Your honor, this is the letter that the Northern Glass army just shot at the wall. The general ordered his subordinates to send it to the palace immediately!"
The ministers opened the letter with all hands and feet, and someone read: "if there is no letter in half an hour, the Xikun palace will be razed to the ground. The signature is Gu Shubai
The generals of the central court were more frustrated when they heard Gu Shubai than when they saw the artillery exploding in front of them.
Xikun almost never won Gu Jiajun. They couldn't win Gu huaijiang in the past, and now they can't win Gu Shubai, not to mention Gu Shubai who has guns.
In the barracks outside the city, many soldiers, who had never seen them before, were surrounded by the artillery. They just didn't dare to start.
They didn't see the scene of artillery landing and exploding in the Xikun palace, but they could hear the terrible sound of explosion and see the wood and stone flying into the air.
Such lethality makes people dare not even touch.
"General, how could you ask your majesty for a firearm to come here without saying a word when you were in Weizhou? I can see such a magic weapon today. "
Kunyu Yang was surprised. She had just directed the direction by herself and understood some of the operation methods of the gun. Rao still didn't dare to move.
Gu Shubai said: "when I heard the news of the attack on Weizhou, I came with soldiers all night. How can I ask your majesty for firearms? I've only heard of and never seen firearms. It was his Majesty's fear that Weizhou would not be able to maintain peace for a long time, so he ordered people to escort these firearms. In the future, if there is a big army raid and the troops are insufficient, these firearms can be used to frighten the enemy. "
Yan Zheng followed behind and heard something wrong, "ah? So these firearms were sent by your majesty to frighten Xikun people. You didn't really fight them out! Now, the Xikun palace is almost half bombed by us. Is it really OK? "
Gu Shubai looked back at him without anger.
Yan Zheng shrinks his neck and gives himself a way out. "The general is talkative. His majesty and the general have a good heart. They naturally know how to use it."
Kun Yuyang couldn't help laughing. Gu Shubai said: "Gu's army has been fighting with Xi Kun for decades, and spies have been planted in Xixian city to learn about the news of Xi Kun Dynasty. I know what kind of personalities the ministers in Xikun are. They are belligerent, arrogant and ambitious. But the more they are, the more easily they are deterred by their stronger existence. Yuyang, what do you think? "
Kun Yu Yang nodded, "the general said well."
Gu Shubai added: "Beili has always had firearms, and the Ministry of war has a firearms room. Although firearms are not available, they have never been improved and further studied. The reason why we don't use it is because it is so destructive that we are afraid that innocent people will die. But today we don't use firearms on innocent people, we use them in the palace. If the ministers are afraid to open the city and surrender, many casualties will be reduced, which is not against your Majesty's original intention. "
When people heard that they had made a lot of money, Yan Zheng couldn't help but wonder: "then you just said that half an hour later, if you didn't see the book, you would blow up the palace Is it true or false? "
"I'm afraid you'll never know the answer to this question."
Gu Shubai's eyes narrowed slightly toward Xixian city. Someone hung a white flag on the wall of the city, for fear that a gun would fly towards him if the action was slower.
At the same time, the gate of Xixian city opened, and a group of envoys came out shivering with their books.
"Please forgive me, senior general Gu. Your majesty is in mourning, and the prince is in your Beili, so I'll send you the letter of surrender."
If it wasn't for the absence of emperor Kun and Emperor Yue, they would not have no hope to surrender so soon.
Gu Shubai didn't care about this. He just took the book and handed it to Kun Yuyang, "where's the seventh Prince of your country?"
The minister was stunned. He didn't know why Gu Shubai mentioned Kunwu's injury. After thinking about it, he had a strange speculation in his heart. Looking at Gu Shubai's eyes, he was unwilling.
"I'm just a small official in charge of foreign affairs in the court. I don't know about the seventh prince. Please ask someone else."
Gu Shubai quickly understood what he meant. He thought that Gu Shubai's army could drive straight in by the cooperation of Kunwu and his wounded, and despised this kind of behavior, so he was not willing to tell Gu Shubai about Kunwu's wounded.
Gu Shubai didn't expect him. He turned back to the soldiers and said, "after entering the city, the rules should be the same as before. He will be kind to the prisoners without any crime. If anyone disobeys the order, it will be executed immediately! "
Then he mounted the horse first, regardless of the surprised eyes of the emissary.
Make a decision
Looking at the usual eyes of the soldiers behind him, it is obvious that Gu Shubai always runs the army in this way. No wonder when he demoted to the city, the people and soldiers in the city didn't worry much.
They knew that Gu Shubai's army had strict military discipline, and even if the city was broken, they would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Their worries and resentments naturally decreased.
All of a sudden, the minister trembled, thinking carefully and fearing.
I don't know whether Gu Shubai is really strict in his army, or whether he can capture other countries' cities more smoothly by this appearance
Gu Shubai orders Kun Yuyang to go to the seventh Prince's residence to find Kun Wu. As a general of the army, he must go to the palace to settle down the situation in the city.I don't want to see a familiar figure in front of the palace gate. The man is wearing a coarse linen suit that doesn't fit. He wears a hat on his head. When he sees Gu Shubai, he takes off his hat and smiles at him.
"You didn't go to the seventh Prince's residence to find me first. I didn't think of you first in my life and death. I didn't even think of Yu Fu."
At this time can also smile so heartless, in addition to Kun Wu injury who else?
Gu Shubai looked at him and said, "it's good to have healthy limbs. Do you think I don't know? What you think of is me, the brocade bag I gave you? "
Kun Wu snorted, and Gu Shubai stretched out his hand to pull him to the horse and galloped all the way into the palace.
There were many signs of burning and explosion in the palace. Even the square in front of the palace was blasted out of a black pit by artillery. Kunwu was surprised.
"The guns are all used. If Yufu decides to use them earlier, will I still have a chance to surrender to you?"
Gu Shubai looked back at him, "of course. We are your elders and will take care of you. "
Kun Wu was injured Yufu is the elder martial sister. What's he to be?
He then remembered that Yufu and Gu Shubai had been married, and they were now husband and wife, and they could really afford to be elder.
He dismounted at the square in front of the palace, "you go first. I'll come back after changing my clothes. I don't have to be underestimated by those ministers who look down upon me."
After that, he walked towards the back of the palace. Gu Shubai saw that there were bloodstains and worn marks on the back of his clothes.
I don't know what he has been through these days. The prince is so embarrassed.
Gu Shubai didn't think much about it. He took the lead in bringing people into the golden palace. The Manchu civil and military officials looked at him with fear, as if they had just thrown artillery into the palace. They didn't want to go through it again.
Gu Shubai thought that when he went to the golden hall, he would be condemned by all the officials. He had already made psychological preparations.
I don't want all the ministers to just look at him in panic, and no one dares to speak.
He suddenly understood that there were no leaders, and the ministers did not dare to come out at this time.
He looked at the crowd with a smile, "I Beili make friends with Xikun. Your majesty promised that emperor Kun would never invade in his lifetime. However, Xikun took the lead in tearing up the treaty and attacked beiliweizhou twice. In the last attack, the crown prince of your country went to the capital to explain in person, but his Majesty's generosity was not investigated. This time, the attack intensified. Your majesty still abides by his promise to kundi and only defends but not attacks. "
He stood at the top, glancing at the crowd, his eyes slightly cold, "now that emperor Kun is dead, it's fate that I, Beili, should fight back. Otherwise, you still think that Beili, like Dongling in the past, can only defend but not attack. "
His righteous words are irrefutable.
When Gu Shubai was a major general of the Gu family in Dongling, Xikun repeatedly invaded the border of Dongling, and the war continued for years. Now Gu Shubai has become the general of Beili, and his momentum is more and more compelling. He is not as modest as Marquis Gu.
He won't take this opportunity to avenge himself, will he?
When all the ministers felt uneasy, Gu Shubai suddenly pulled out his sword. "Although Xikun was unjust first, Beili is not an unruly country. Since emperor Kun is dead, as long as the ministers present have no different intentions and sincerely surrender to seek peace, our general will never treat you badly. Soldiers in the army will not invade the people, which the general can guarantee. But if there is an intention to rebel and start a war again, don't blame our general for being merciless! "
After that, he threw a sword at the door of the hall. Sheng Sheng cut a seven inch thick mahogany carved door in half and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The crowd was terrified.
Kun Wu changed his clothes and went to the front door of the hall. He just saw this scene, patted his chest and came in. "Fortunately, it was cut on the door. How painful would it be if it was cut on someone?"
Then he squatted down and drew the thickness of the wooden door with his fingers. "Tut Tut, I don't know if people's shoulders are seven inches thick."
The ministers who stood close to him could not help but be afraid. They were far away from the broken wooden door. Kun Wu got up and looked at the ministers in the hall.
"You have been waiting for a long time. My prince has not been admitted to the court these days, which worries you. Don't you always want to know what happened when your father died? "
He was full of smiles, not like his father who just died. "The prince has come to solve your doubts. Please give us a witness."
He went to the top, stood beside Gu Shubai and said, "my father was poisoned, but it's different from what you think. It's not the prince, it's the prince."
The party members of kunjun Yue in the court were not happy when they heard the words, "you're bullshit! When your majesty died, the prince was not in the court at all. Would you like to pour dirty water on him? "
"It is because he is not in the court that it is his handwriting."
Kun Wu didn't panic at all. He said to the outside of the hall, "come on, please bring all the doctors in the imperial hospital to the hall, and let you ask and hear clearly."
