Chapter 566

Uncle Lu is Lu Qinghong, the divine archer on the Wuhuan battlefield back in the day, Jian Xubai’s right hand man although he is old, but also because of his age, even if Lu Qinghong has never been a commander before, in this kind of battle of defending the city, his rich experience in the sand field is the newcomer group of forbidden army is currently in urgent need of.

After all, even Yang Jue himself, aside from yesterday’s battle to seize the palace, had never experienced a real war.

… In fact, last night s seizure of the palace could not be considered a war at all, but rather a sneak attack of a heavier nature.

After understanding Su Shaoge’s intention, Jianxu Bai pondered for a while and said, “Uncle Lu can lend it to you, however, he can’t go with you right away, I have to give him a few words of advice!”

Su Shaoge breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I should!”

“Uncle Lv, in your opinion, is Su Zhiyong really not confident in relying on Yang Jue to defend the city, so he’s here to ask you to step in, or is he playing with other ideas?” After sending Su Shaoge away, Jian Xubai didn’t go to the flower hall, but went to the study where he normally disposes of official business, and ordered someone to invite Lv Qinghong to come over, and told him everything about the conversation just now, frowning at the end of the conversation, “After all, that Yang Jue is only taking advantage of the fact that He Wentong is in the palace, and is not in a position to command the forbidden army, and the Su family has managed to assassinate many of his peers on his behalf, and only then has managed to take control of the forbidden army within the imperial capital. He was only able to control the forbidden army within the imperial capital!”

If Su Shaoge wasn’t lying, that means that once Lv Qinghong is in charge of the battlefield, he’ll have the opportunity to train the city’s forbidden army to his side after all, Yang Jue doesn’t have a high degree of control over the forbidden army and then Lv Qinghong will be in a position to hold on to the imperial capital! When Lv Qinghong had the power of the army, he could help the Marquis of Yan to turn the tables on the Su family and support King Su’s ascension to the throne after he had secured the imperial capital.

As for whether King Su will retaliate against Marquis Yan for the sake of the Su family after he ascends to the throne, don’t forget that there is still the Dowager Empress!

Although King Su is the Empress Dowager’s direct grandson, Jane Xubai is only a grandson, but there is a way to love one another over time, the Empress Dowager’s only grandchild that she has personally raised is Jane Xubai, and over the years by virtue of what the situation is by virtue of what the good things are, the one thing that she won’t forget the most is also Jane Xubai the Empress Dowager may not allow Jane Xubai to kill King Su, but she certainly won’t allow it either The Queen Mother may not allow Jian Xu Bai to kill King Su, but she will certainly not allow King Su to be unfavorable to Jian Xu Bai!

And once he loses the support of the Su family, even if King Su’s qualifications are good, how can he fight over the Marquis of Yan, who has the favoritism of the Empress Dowager within and the power of the military and all the ministers outside?

After all, Jian Xubai’s reputation in the court even though not as good as Gu Shao, in the end mixed these years of bureaucracy, behind the back of the old lady Duanmu, Jane Li Miao and other elders Zephyr, without the Su family, as well as the Su Empress Dowager, the King of Su where to pinch over him?

At that time, the Su family will become a complete dowry for others!

Will Su Shaoge be willing to do that?

“Marquis is worried that Su Zhirong’s plan is to take advantage of the opportunity to transfer away from a certain family, so as to deal with Marquis Yan’s family?” Lu Qinghong heard, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, “I think Su Zhirong should not dare to do this King Su has not yet ascended to the throne, this issue of the name, even if there is a legacy edict left by the late emperor to the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Jin, but also have to be recognized by all the elders of the clan, in order to reach this matter. ”

“And when it comes to the elders of the clan, who can be more important than the Dowager Empress?”

“The Dowager Empress has always favored the Marquis, if she knew that the Su family had harmed the Marquis, she might not continue to support King Su!”

This was not only because the Dowager Empress favored Jian Xubai as her grandson, but also because if the Su family did so, they were clearly defying the Dowager Empress and what would it mean if the Su family refused to give the Dowager Empress even the minimum respect?

It meant that the Su family had not put the royal family in their eyes at all!

When the Dowager Empress fell to the Su family and chose King Su, there were many reasons, but one very important point was that King Su did have the potential of a bright ruler!

In the final analysis, the Dowager Empress stood for the royal family in choosing the new ruler.

But if the Su family doesn’t even care about the royal family anymore, what if King Su has the potential to be a bright ruler? Would the Su family give him the chance to truly reign over the world?

At that time, I’m afraid that the more outstanding the King of Su is, the less good it will end up being Consort Nie Mai Cherry of Su has an awkward origin, and doesn’t have a mother’s family that is strong enough to stand apart from the Su family, while the King of Su’s own power can be said to be all from the Su family.

Once the Su family had bad thoughts about him, neither the Su Wang couple had the power to resist!

How could the Dowager Empress tolerate the Su family playing such a wishful thinking?

“But last night, when Su Zhiyong came to ask Shan Mei for the ‘Follow the Wind’ token, he had clearly expressed his threatening intentions.” Jian Xu Bai said intently, “It is evident that the Su family is already wary of my Marquis Yan! Under these circumstances, how could he give my Marquis Yan the opportunity to get his hands on the Forbidden Army’s military power?”

Jian Xubai actually do not quite believe that Su Shaoge will flip with Marquis Yan at this juncture, not to mention Lv Qinghong, although he is a veteran of the battlefield, but want to rely on this manpower in the Marquis to block the attack of the forbidden army in the city at the moment, but also a clever woman can’t cook without rice Su Shaoge really want to lay hands on the Marquis Yan right now, Lv Qinghong in the House of the results of the estimate are also The result will probably be the same if Lu Qinghong is in the residence or not.

Just Su Shaoge has always been a deep heart, Jian Xubai does not trust him, at this moment it is inevitable to suspect that his socalled borrower, I’m afraid that it will be unfavorable to Marquis Yan.

Lu Qinghong said ”In fact, I thought that unless someone takes the initiative to stir up trouble within the city, the Su family will not only not directly target the Marquis of Yan, but will not even move those who were formerly affiliated with the Wei family! After all, this time the imperial capital is under siege, is a sudden thing, the imperial capital, at this moment must be on edge! The Su family won’t have enough manpower, equipment, and provisions to defend the city, and the people in the city are already scared enough, so if it’s rumored that a large family has been victimized for no reason, how can other families not worry that their own families will suffer the same fate?”

“At that time there are people who have the intention to incite do not even incite, as long as the majority of the people are afraid to a certain extent, causing a situation similar to the camp tsunami, not to mention Su Zhiyong admitted that he is not good at the use of military, he is a natural talent of marshal is not likely to be able to calm the situation in this internal and external situation! ”

Speaking here, his face was a bit subtle as he said, “That’s why a certain family thought that the most likely scenario was that the He Wenqiong beloved that Su Zhiyong had mentioned was not an ordinary general.”

After a pause, “I’m afraid it’s a person of amazing talent Su Zhi Rong is worried that this Imperial City won’t last more than three to five days under his attack, which is why he’s in such a hurry to come to our mansion to ask for help right now!”

It is important to realize that the left side of the imperial capital is guarded by the forbidden army, so on the one hand, there is no need to set up other armies, and on the other hand, in order to prevent the emergence of the situation of usurping the throne by force, it is necessary to need a time that is sufficient for the forbidden army to react and prepare for the news of armies heading towards the imperial capital without an imperial decree.

So the nearest army, even if it is a fast horse back and forth, without five or six days is not to think about this fast horse means, is eight hundred miles expedited, all the way to change the people do not change the horse, without any accident!

But this kind of snowy days, the official road on the ice, slippery, even if it is a riding expert, also dare not let go of the foot all the way gallop, if not accidentally mount hoof, even with the horse is estimated to have no good end!

Besides, would the forbidden army outside the city not send someone to stop and hunt down the messenger sent by the Imperial Capital for help?

Taking a step back, even if the Imperial Capital’s plea for help had been sent in time, it was unlikely that the army that had received the message would have moved immediately to come to the rescue for it was the Imperial Capital that was in trouble.

According to the rules, without the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, they come regardless of victory or defeat, is to raze the three clans!

Although the Su family had deep roots in the military, in the end, it was impossible for everyone to support them then why would they still support King Su’s seizure of the throne? It would be better to go on their own.

Even if the people who support them have a pivotal position in the military, it always takes a while to convince their subordinates.

Besides, it is not that easy to start the deployment of the army grain and provisions, soldiers gathering, which does not need time?

After all, Da Rui had been at peace for a long time, and the most recent war was the crusade against the Wuhuan, and that was four years in the past!

How easy is it for a slackened army to get into shape right away?

The most optimistic estimate was that it would take at least ten days and half a month for reinforcements to arrive near the imperial capital and directly engage the forbidden army outside the city!

This also has to be their willingness to come, because people certainly also want to settle accounts in case the Su family can not hold out this ten days and a half months, they desperately to arrive has also been a step too late … then they still came to do what? Accompany the Su family to die together?

Even if the Su family has the skill of the imperial family, and these people are willing to send troops, the imperial capital will have to last at least ten days and half a month, or else it will still be difficult to quench the thirst of the immediate future even though Jian Xu Bai previously told Su Shao Ge that he would escort his family to break out if he couldn’t hold the siege.

But in reality, both Jian Xu Bai and Su Shao Ge knew that they would never give up the imperial capital if they could not break out!

First, even if someone to protect, breakout is ultimately dangerous. Especially cold days, and pregnant women and children, sitting in the carriage can not run fast, people outside the city forbidden army because of rotating guard the imperial capital, can be said to represent the decency of the big Rui, blades and mounts, are the best, and is also the most complete.

How could a wagon outrun a cavalryman?

Secondly, King Su had only just ascended to the throne or had not yet been able to ascend to the throne before he was forced to abandon the capital, which was a blow to his prestige, a blow to the prestige of the Su family, which could be imagined!

And the Su family in order to support King Su to ascend to the throne has paid so much effort, exposed a large number of buried for many years of the dark child, the bottom card played so many cards, if then happen to abandon the capital and go things, who knows this throne fight, there will be no other changes?

So even though Su Shaoge was scornful of the Marquis of Yan, he would rather choose to seek help from the Marquis of Yan’s compared to the imminent problem of holding onto the imperial capital.

After all, the forbidden army they have to operate, Lu Qinghong want to take advantage of the command of the city to defend the occasion, enlisted this army, they may not have no backhanded better than being beaten back and risking a breakout, breakout after that can not be said to have to have to pinch to come to the good.

In the end, the Marquis of Yan has always supported King Su, hasn’t it?

“Actually, the root of it is that your grandfather is no longer around.” Lu Qinghong hit the nail on the head, and at this moment in the Jihou Mansion, Su Shaoge is sighing with his nephew, Su Bofeng, “Otherwise a mere Yu Qinghan could have asked us to be this close to an enemy?”

Yu Qinghan was none other than the current leader of the forbidden army outside the city, He Wenqiong’s beloved, and the commanderinchief that Su Shaoge was afraid of.

Of course, if the Duke of Ji was still alive, Yu Qinghan would not be enough in front of him.

In fact, even if the former Minister of War, Linghu Deyin, or Su Shaoxing, Su Shaoge’s eldest brother and Su Bofeng’s father, were present, the Su family did not need to worry.

The tragedy is that none of these people Su Shaoge and Su Bofeng this pair of nephews and uncles are Su family alternative, in the marching and fighting on the talent is very miserable, the side has not brought this talent, but now can only count on the Marquis of Yan’s old man Lu Qinghong!

This really makes them want to spit out blood, their family this several dynasties of glory, can be largely rely on the sands of war!

It is biased that these two of them are the unworthy descendants of the Su family!

At this moment, Su Bofeng saw his uncle’s downcast appearance, and said consolingly, “Anyway, the messengers have already been dispatched! They are familiar with the terrain near the imperial capital, the letter harrier has also been released last night in the night, with our previous arrangements for a rainy day, I think within ten days, there will be a large army to come to the rescue! Even if Marquis Yan’s intentions are malicious, can they still make the city’s forbidden army dead to them in just ten days?”

“Even if that Lv Qinghong can do it, by that time the reinforcements will be outside the city, how dare Marquis Yan’s residence mess around?”

“The most important question now is rather whether or not that Lu Qinghong can hold this imperial capital!”

Su Bofeng couldn’t help but rub his forehead, “Yang Jue has worked with Yu Qinghan for several years, and when we asked him, what did he say? He’s not even sure he can hold the fort for two days but I hope that Lu Qinghong can fight for it! If he can’t do it either, then we’ll really have to risk breaking out!”
