Chapter 688： The prince changes hands!

Cao Weiming and Song Wensong fought, and after three days of fierce fighting between the two sides, Song Wensong led the army to retreat, and Cao Weiming had a chance to breathe.

For a while, the people under his hands were flattering, and some people offered suggestions to make Cao Weiming "chase after victory". Fortunately, although Cao Weiming acted exceptionally and ugly, but his brain was still normal, knowing that in terms of strength, he was still far behind Song Wensong.

The key is the defeat in the capital. Song Wensong impressed him too deeply. This fierce man personally led his troops to attack the city, and was the first to attack the city. Such a brave general, I am afraid that Song Wensong still First person.

Song Wensong really retired, and has retreated to the vicinity of Gyeonggi. Song Wensong seems to really give up in this battle. After all, he can understand this choice, because now the world is in chaos. Although Song Wensong is quite capable, he is alone. The capital is still too pressured. If he and Cao Weiming cannot win quickly, the two will become a war of attrition. Even if Song Wensong wins, he may not be able to stand firm. On the contrary, like Cao Weiming, although he won the capital, it will be very fast. He was driven away, and the situation would instantly fall into a very passive position.

Cao Weiming tried to negotiate with Song Wensong again. This time Song Wensong promised and sent his confidant Qi Yuanzhi to Yuzhou.

Cao Weiming talked with Qi Yuanzhi for a few days, and he felt more and more wrong, because he found that the surname Song seemed to have no desires, no matter what conditions Cao Weiming mentioned, Qi Yuanzhi actually agreed to it, which made Cao Weiming's heart. Doubts abound.

Cao Xuanhua said in advance: "General, for the sake of the present, Xuanhua believes that we must not only guard Yuzhou, but also Bianzhou. We have placed our army in the two states so that we can take care of each other. Secondly, it will help us to grasp. The situation in Lianghe! As long as we grasp the granary in Lianghe, we can recruit soldiers for a long time. This is the foundation of our foundation!"

After Cao Weiming pondered, he readily agreed to Cao Xuanhua’s opinion, but after he thought about it, he said, "We don’t know what General Song San means right now. We should wait for the contract with General Song San to be negotiated. Things may be safe, otherwise. ..."

Cao Xuanhua laughed and said: "The general is too cautious! Is the general wondering why Song Laosan suddenly became so weak? In fact, it is not difficult to understand that although Song San is powerful, he is an expedition after all, and the soldiers arrived in the capital. After that, the logistics were scarce, and he might be living like a year these days!

This person is a proud person. He thought that he would bring tens of thousands of horses to Yuzhou, and he would be able to defeat the general. They did not expect to steal the chicken and lose the rice. They realized that Yuzhou was not theirs. Can be easily frustrated.

In this case, if we defend Bianzhou together, and the two cities become horns, Song San must act rashly again, so he has to carefully consider the pros and cons. "

Cao Weiming said: "Xuanhua, this commander knows that you are quite ambitious and want to sit in Bianzhou, but this is not the best time. Song San seems to be reckless, but his mind is the most cunning! We don't have any insights yet. Before he intends, he must not act rashly, otherwise he is very likely to be fooled by this person!

You just said that Song Wensong came all the way to occupy the land of Gyeonggi. The logistics preparation is very difficult. Compared with him, we can afford it. However, if Song Wensong really has no way out, he will definitely work hard. When it wants to die, we may not be able to take advantage of it! "

Cao Wei was obviously still very clear-headed, and he was not dazzled by the success of defending the city. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report and said: "Report to the general, no...no...it's not good... …Mrs……"

Cao Weiming's heart sank suddenly, and said, "What are you stammering about? If you are serious about it, then you can talk. Is it possible that something will collapse all day long?"

The visitor took a deep breath, and his guilty conscience seemed to ease a little, before he said: "General, the prince is gone, the prince is not in the palace, no one on the left and right can see him..."

"What?" Cao Weiming exclaimed. He suddenly stood up and said: "How is this possible? I saw the prince today. Have any outsiders seen the prince?"

"Return to the general, no one has seen the prince in the past few days. By the way, the envoy of the Northwest Army has come to see the prince!"

Cao Weiming slapped the table and said, "Quick, catch up, catch up with the messenger of the Northwest Army! Catch up at all costs!" His subordinates immediately led the order to chase people, and by this time Qi Yuanzhi was already in a hurry. He fled to Gyeonggi with Long Zhaohuan.

This time, Qi Yuanzhi’s mission can be said to be extremely beautiful. On the surface, he was entangled with Cao Weiming for peace talks. In fact, his only purpose was to save Long Zhaohuan. Long Zhaohuan was insulted by Cao Weiming. He had the heart to escape. Qi Yuanzhi went to him and of course it hit it off right away. The two of them had mental arithmetic and unintentional, but they did it without any blood.

When Long Zhaohuan stepped into the Meridian Gate of the capital again, he couldn’t help crying. He was a prince, and the worst time was when he was under the control of Cao Weiming. Cao Weiming, the dog Where does Dongxi regard Long Zhaohuan as the prince? When he is upset, he beats and scolds Long Zhaohuan, completely treating Long Zhaohuan as a slave and a servant!

From the capital to Yuzhou, Long Zhaohuan's concubine was all dead, leaving him alone. He thinks about his life, the first half of his life has been rich and honorable, although sometimes he feels wronged, but all the grievances are really not worth mentioning compared with this time.

To be honest, Long Zhaohuan was really terrified in his heart. He suddenly realized that once the Dakang River changes ownership, I am afraid that from now on, the Long Family and the descendants of the Long Family will suffer the same humiliation as him.

Therefore, Long Zhaohuan secretly vowed in his heart that he would use all means and methods to recapture what the Long Family had lost, to restore the Long Family’s lands and villages, and to make the Dakang Dynasty stronger and prosperous again.

Cao Weiming lost the crown prince. He finally understood why Song Wensong played so many tricks and his true intentions! It is to take away the prince!

And Cao Weiming, who lost the prince, can be said to have worsened the situation. Therefore, before Cao Weiming was able to force Long Zhaohuan to write down various edicts to the prince, accusing everyone who opposed him, he is considered famous as a teacher and occupying morality. Commanding heights.

And now, after he lost this commanding height, he became a thief and a counter-thief to everyone in the Dakang dynasty.

Cao Weiming panicked and immediately summoned all his generals, civil servants and ministers to discuss matters and discuss countermeasures. At this time, the crown prince of the capital was summoned. Long Zhaohuan listed the ten sins of Cao Weiming in the edict. Ming said it was heinous, all kinds of harsh words, all kinds of extreme words were used, and Cao Weiming became a rebellious court thief overnight in Jiangbei.

Previously, in the edict of His Majesty Jiangnan, Cao Weiming had long been defined as an anti-thief, Cao Weiming's rebellious minister and thief. The label of the crime was determined. For a while, everyone in the world condemned him. Even Shandong Tan Lei announced that he was going to send troops to West Town. Want to take all the land of the two rivers!

Cao Xuanhua knelt down at the Cao Weiming Hall, and said, "The General, don't hesitate. There is already a chaos today. The Emperor Dakang Xinde is innocent and has caused the world to oppose him. Dakang has actually been torn apart.

The current society needs the master of the world, the great general who is heroic and heroic, and was born in a wealthy family, so he should shoulder this responsibility. Now that all the anti-thieves are slandering the generals, why don't the generals directly claim the king and let me be named. From then on, I can be ordered by the king to fight against the thieves of the world, and restore my good life! "

Cao Xuanhua's suggestion allows Cao Weiming to directly become the king! Isn't everyone scolding Cao Weiming now? Calling him a prosecutor, a thief, and an anti-thief, now that this is the case, Cao Weiming simply claimed the king, and then Cao Weiming's army could immediately become the king's teacher, and abruptly suppress these negative titles. Go down.

In this world, the strong respects the strong. The so-called pearl thief, the country thief, and the king, Cao Weiming will be king, and the swallowing of the world is his responsibility.

I have to say that Cao Xuanhua's thinking is really ridiculous. This is completely self-deceiving and deceiving others. However, after discussing with the counsellors, Cao Weiming accepted this suggestion and decided to call himself the King of Hejian, build a new Yin'an Temple in Yuzhou, and called Emperor Xin De the crime of stealing the country, and described himself as the Crown Prince Longyin. The direct line of the Dakang dynasty must liquidate the past usurpation and seizure of power.

After Cao Weiming called the King of Hejian, all the generals and officials under his hand were rewarded. For a while, a brick was thrown down in the small city of Yuzhou, which could kill two generals and three prime ministers. This farce is really annoying. Everyone in the world finds it ridiculous.

Thousands of miles away, when Lu Zheng, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, heard the news, he only smiled and bent over. He and Cao Weiming are actually very familiar. The two of them have done a lot of things together. He always thinks that Cao Weiming is still a human being. At least in very difficult circumstances, this guy can survive in Lianghe, awkward development, let The Cao family can occupy a place among Dakang's powerful elites.

This time Cao Weiming was able to escape from the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Zheng was the main key figure. According to Lu Zheng’s idea, he would let this guy go back to Lianghe and let him take the opportunity to disrupt the situation. Never let Long Zhaohuan take the Lianghe army. Annexed, thus quickly sweeping the Northland. Or let the Liaodong Army sweep south and let the North Land fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army.

Lu Zheng could not have imagined that Cao Weiming was such a frenzied treasure. He hijacked the prince and gave orders to the North. But he did a great job, and even treated the prince as a servant, and he would be swearing at every turn, even at night. Staying in the palace and calling the concubines and concubines of the palace together to have fun, this kind of behavior is simply frantic.

This time, Cao Weiming even claimed to be the king of himself, claiming to be the King of Hejian, and also entrusted the world, turning the two river provinces into his own independent kingdom. I have to say that this guy has reached a new level of stupidity, and has also reached a new level of madness.

...

With Long Zhaohuan's return to the capital, the situation in the north gradually stabilized.

Undoubtedly, Song Wensong in the North has now become a new force independent of the Song family. From the perspective of the Guan, Song Wensong is the strongest, strong enough to occupy the strategically important place in the capital.

In comparison, Cao Weiming, the king of Hejian in Yuzhou, is obviously struggling to support it. I am afraid that he needs the determination of the big guys, and his kingdom will be wiped out.

There is also the strength of Tan Lei's Liaodong Army, which is entrenched in Shandong and Liaodong. However, there is still Cao Weiming's buffer between him and Song Wensong, and it is difficult for the two sides to conflict in a short time.

Therefore, the internal contradictions of the Song family finally began to be exposed at this juncture. Song Wensong was too strong, and the two brothers of the Song family quit and wanted to call Song Wensong back to Longyou.

Song Wensong had exhausted his mind to get the capital. How could he go back? Therefore, the two sides are doomed to reach a consensus. Since they cannot reach a consensus, they will inevitably tear their faces. Longyou’s biggest constraint on Song Wensong is the economy. The Song family directly cut off Song Wensong’s money, food and logistics, and the Song family’s eldest brother Song Wenjie’s cronies came. Occupying the important military area of ​​Bingzhou, occupying Bingzhou, this is the sign of the Song family showdown.

When Binzhou was lost, Song Wensong would no longer be able to return to Longyou. If he couldn't return to Longyou, he could only live in Gyeonggi as his home. For a while, Song Wensong's good situation finally changed.

Compared with the chaos in the north, Jiangnan has completely stabilized after crossing the big river. After Lu Zheng annexed King Qi, the Nanfu Army expanded to more than 100,000. Jiangnan has so many soldiers and horses to guard it, and almost no one can do it in the short term. Match it.

More importantly, Jiangnan is a rich place in the world. With Jiangnan, Lu Zheng will continue to grow the strength of his Nanfu Army with a steady stream of energy. As time goes by, Lu Zheng's Nanfu Army will definitely grow more and more. Strong, and then, it will become very realistic to rebel against Lingnan. In the next step, Yue Feng will take the Huainan Road, and the south of the river will be unified.

For Lu Zheng, although the situation is good, he is not without any hidden worries. His biggest hidden worry is naturally from the Bauhinia Palace. Emperor Xin De is increasingly disgusted and distrustful of the Lu Family. According to his nature, he is bound to come out. Moth!

Under such circumstances, Lu Zheng’s future is facing great uncertainty, because at least there is one thing, that is, Lu Zheng has absolutely no rebellious strength, so the game between monarchs and ministers will inevitably become more and more fierce. To be honest, Lu Zheng really didn't think he would have the upper hand.

In any case, the world is in chaos, and Dakang has already lost that deer. The deer has lost its virtue and the world is chasing it. Who will die? It's too early to say, things are full of many variables.

I have to say that this situation was unexpected by Lu Zheng for many years before, because he never thought that Emperor Xin De would die to such a degree after he reached the later stage. He even deliberately tried to induce his son to rebel. .

His behavior is like lighting his own house with a match. He thought that everything was under control, but suddenly a strong wind came without warning. The situation instantly got out of control and never returned to the original point...
