After conquering Yong City, Yunqing didn't immediately lead his troops to attack Hao city. Instead, when Du Zheng's 50000 men and horses arrived and were fully prepared, Yunqing took 160000 men and horses to attack Hao city.
Although Ji Xuan is a waste and can't lead a war, Yun Qing doesn't relax. Ho City is famous for its strong defense. This attack will be a tough battle. Similarly, once the city of pickaxe is conquered, it means that the northwest is already in his hands, so this battle can only be won but not defeated. If they fail, there is no place for them.
Yunqing knows that the one guarding the city is a general named Xie Li. Cloud engine asked Ding Qingyu: "what's the relationship between Xie Li and Xie Junxiong?"
Ding Qingyu had a dignified face and said, "he's Xie Junxiong's father and a veteran veteran. I'm afraid it's because of Xie Junxiong If his son is killed, he will get revenge.
Yun Qing said: "no matter who guards the city, the pickaxe city must be captured." Unless they are all dead, they can't step back.
Ding Qingyu didn't speak any more. As Yun Qing said, they are bound to win the pickaxe city. If they all fight here, it would be too bad for them to go back.
It turns out that Yunqing's worst plan is not groundless. The garrison in Ho City is very useful, which is not comparable to those soldiers in front. Only one day down, cloud engine side lost more than 13000 people.
Cloud engine look dignified, said: "no, the local army does not have such a strong fighting capacity, and the equipment is not so sophisticated." This time, the soldiers guarding the city have a strong fighting capacity, which is not comparable to that of the local soldiers. In this case, something is wrong.
Guan Tai nodded and said, "yes, these soldiers are very brave in killing people. They are totally different from those soldiers before." These people are not afraid of death.
There was no discussion among the people, so people came out.
Ding Qingyu frowned tightly. Seeing that all the people were silent, he hesitated for a moment and said, "general, our people once heard a news. I don't know if it's true?"
"What's the news?" Yunqing asked He had a premonition that this battle would not be easy to fight, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult.
Ding Qingyu said: "I heard that Ji Xuan raised private soldiers before. It seems that there are no less than ten thousand people." Whether this is true or not, Ding Qingyu doesn't know. Because he just heard the news and didn't dare to confirm it.
Trimmer slapped the table and cried out, "that's right. The soldiers guarding the city today are not afraid of death, and the local army will not work so hard. "
Yuan Ying said, "it's a capital crime to keep private soldiers. Ji Xuan is going out of his way this time. " No wonder he felt something was wrong. It turned out that these were private soldiers kept by Ji Xuan.
Du Zheng frowned and said: "but in this way, even if we can't break the pickaxe City, Ji Xuan is also doomed."
Ding Qingyu's eyes lit up and said, "Ji Xuan can't say that he has escaped from the pickaxe city." Of course, this is just a guess.
Cloud engine a word, let Ding Qingyu stop: "even if Ji Xuan ran, there is solution Li." Ji Xuan doesn't know how to fight. It doesn't matter whether he's here or not. The problem now is that Xie Li has to fight with him.
"What do you do now, general?" trimmer asked
Yun Qing said: "Ji Xuan can keep 20 to 30 thousand private soldiers at most, and there won't be more. Get rid of these people, and the rest will be easy to do. " There is no other way. We can only attack by force. Japan will continue to attack by force.
On that day, the emperor received a letter from Marquis Jiang saying that uncle song was missing. The emperor's face turned blue. The northwest could not protect himself. He did not expect that Liaodong would be in chaos.
King Jing hurried into the imperial study and said, "brother, just got the news, Yunqing has taken 160000 troops to attack the pickaxe city." As soon as the pickaxe city was broken, the northwest fell into the hands of Yunqing.
The emperor handed the fold to King Jing and said with an ugly face, "it's estimated that something will happen in Liaodong." If Yan Wushuang doesn't catch him, he can't be at peace all day. For the emperor, Yan unparalleled harm is greater than cloud engine. Once Yan Wushuang tells the world about his collusion, he will not be able to sit on the throne.
King Jing turned pale and said, "brother, what should I do? If there is another accident in Liaodong, the world will be in chaos. " When there is a chaos in the northwest and Liaodong, the rebellion must be endless. The imperial court can no longer restrain them, and then they will be in danger.
The emperor said, "I want you to go to Liaodong to find your uncle." If you go to Liaodong now, there will be more danger than good. However, he could not find a more suitable person except King Jing.
King Jing nodded and said, "OK, brother, when will you start?" The face is very refreshing, but the hand is clenched into a ball. But the sleeves were so wide that the emperor could not see them.
The emperor said, "start now." Only when the job is handed over to King Jing can he rest assured. He and King Jing are brothers. Even if King Jing knows what he has done, he will only stand beside him and will not expose him.
Hearing this, King Jing was very cold. Since he knew that the situation in Liaodong was very dangerous, Yan Wushuang would rebel. Now that he was allowed to go to Liaodong, he would be killed. But his good brother didn't think about his safety. King Jing said, "brother, I'll go back and get two changed clothes." How also must go home to say with jade Chen.
The emperor nodded and said, "yes."
As soon as Yu Chen lay down to take a nap, he heard King Jing coming back. Seeing that King Jing asked her to clean up her clothes, Yuchen asked: "Lord, where are you going?" Never go to the northwest. Yunqing has already broken Yongcheng, and is about to attack Haocheng. Going to the northwest at this time is tantamount to death.
King Jing said without expression, "my uncle is missing. My brother asked me to go to Liaodong to find him." As for Liaodong may be unstable, he dare not tell Yuchen, afraid of Yuchen worry.
The jade Chen face once white, say: "impossible, uncle nearby superior such as cloud, and still have elite soldier guard, how can you possibly disappear?" In addition, if my uncle disappeared, Liaodong would be in chaos.
King Jing explained: "it's not Marquis Jiang who is missing. It's my uncle song Huaijin who is missing." King Jing was very dissatisfied at this time. When he knew Yan Wushuang was still alive, he put forward a suggestion. It was said that the royal family was sorry for the Yan family, but it was all their father's fault. King Jing suggested that the emperor pacify the Yan family, and then give the Yan Family's title back to Yan Wushuang. He felt that the matter would be solved. But his brother refused, and let his uncle go to Liaodong. Jing Wang intuitively has something to do with it, but it's hard for him to ask.
The jade Chen whole person all relaxed to come down, just now she thought is own uncle missing. But soon she became suspicious again and asked, "Uncle Guo is missing. We shouldn't let the Song family go to Liaodong to find someone. Why do you want to go? You are the emperor's brother, but you are allowed to do all the hardest jobs. " There was a lot of emotion in that.
King Jing was also dissatisfied with the emperor, but he didn't show it in his face and said, "it's because he is a brother that he can rest assured."
Jade Chen hears this words to feel not quite right, say: "what call to send you to go to rest assured?"? Is it not just about finding people, but something else? " Speaking of this, the jade Chen white face asks a way: "this job can be very dangerous?"
King Jing looked at Yuchen's look, touched her face and said, "there's no danger, just to find someone." No matter what, I can't let my wife worry about it.
No matter how worried Yuchen is, Jingwang picks up his things and leaves.
Looking at the worried Yuchen, mother GUI advised: "princess, don't worry, the prince will be back soon."
Yuchen shook his head and said, "it's not right. When Tong Chunlin died that day, I was a little puzzled when Uncle song went to Liaodong. Now, as soon as Uncle song disappeared, the emperor rushed to send him. I always think it's not easy. "
Mother GUI seriously thought about it, and felt that Yuchen was right: "princess, do you want to send someone to Houfu to ask?"
Yuchen said with a bitter smile, "don't go. People in Houfu don't know more than I do, and if they say more, they will worry my grandmother. I just wonder what made the emperor so anxious and angry? " They don't have enough information to make inferences.
Mother GUI thinks it's difficult to do. If you want to know which family's inner courtyard, it's better to inquire. However, they have no channels to deal with the important affairs in the court.
Yuchen said regretfully, "it's a pity that elder brother has gone to the northwest."
But mother GUI thinks Yuchen thinks too well. Even if Han Jianming knows these things, he won't tell his princess. The princess is good, but she has no brother to help her. As for Han Jingyan, she was directly ignored by mother GUI. It's not bad that she didn't make trouble for her own princess. She still expects him to help her out: "madam, there are not many days left for five girls' marriage. What do you think we can give you?" In fact, they had already prepared for this, and mother GUI said this just to divert Yuchen's attention.
Speaking of Yurong's marriage, Yuchen couldn't help frowning and said, "if you want me to tell you, it's better for this marriage to go back. With such a mother-in-law, what good life can we have in the future? " Jiang Hongjin is three years older than Yurong. This year, he is one in thirty. Mrs. Jiang has a lot of opinions about this. She wants her son to take a concubine, but Jiang Hongjin doesn't agree.
At the end of last year, the story of Yuxi's rebellion spread to the capital, and Mrs. Jiang asked the matchmaker to leave the Han family behind Jiang Hongjin. As a result, Han Jingyan didn't agree, saying that if he wanted to leave his family, he would let the couple of the Jiang family come together. When Jiang Hongjin got the news, he came to the door to apologize, and the matter was over.
Mother GUI said, "it's easy to get priceless treasure. It's rare to have a lover. Mrs. Jiang is not very well, but the second master Jiang is very affectionate to the fifth girl. It would be a pity if he would leave his family. " She didn't say anything else. Not to mention the influence of Yuxi on the Han family, but Yurong is 18 years old this year. If he withdraws, it is impossible to find a good marriage like the Jiang family.
Jade Chen way: "mother-in-law is not good, only the husband affectionate what use?"? Mrs. Jiang is so disgusted with Yurong that she will suffer if she marries in the future. "
Granny GUI said with a smile, "princess, don't all the people who are wives come here like this? I think it will get better in time. "
Yu Chen shakes her head. She is not so optimistic. However, if Yurong doesn't want to marry to the Jiang family and ask her for help, she may help, but the problem is that Yurong also wants to marry to the Jiang family. It's not a mother's own sister. Why should she do such thankless things.
