Chapter 78 The Siege of Yunzhou Was Lifted without a Fight

In fact, Qin Ruhui, the treacherous prime minister who controlled the Daxin government, came to Kunning Palace to meet Queen Su Wan'er, not to discuss with the Queen about the succession of the young prince Zhao Lingwu to the throne.

Instead, he came to inform Su Wan'er.

If Su Wan'er agreed, everyone would get what they wanted and everyone would be happy.

If she disagreed, it didn't matter. The Red Guards surrounding Kunning Palace would take action to send Su Wan'er and the young prince to reunite with Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gan.

Prime Minister Qin Ruhui would establish a new monarch among the princes and heirs and support a puppet. It would only be a little troublesome in terms of etiquette and procedures.

That's all.

After coming out of Kunning Palace, Qin Ruhui felt refreshed, his body shook, and his hunched back became straight.

The old face that was once full of flattery and fawning was replaced by the arrogance and arrogance of a villain who had succeeded.

Outside Kunning Palace, the prime minister's followers who had been waiting for a long time saw this scene and immediately went up to congratulate Qin Ruhui, who was in high spirits, and said congratulations:

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister!"

"From today on, Prime Minister is the real Dinghai Shenzhen of our Great New Dynasty, and the Prime Minister of Emperor Lingwu!"

Hahaha!

Hearing this, Qin Ruhui laughed wildly, not hiding his inner ecstasy and satisfaction.

Then, he ordered: "Everyone, now that the new emperor has been established, the news that the emperor died in Tumu Fortress can be announced to the world at an appropriate time to calm the country and the people."

"You all, get ready!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Prime Minister Qin Ruhui left with his followers and the Red Guards, not noticing that there were two pairs of eyes in the attic of Kunning Palace, watching them leave through the half-closed window.

The people peeping in the attic of Kunning Palace were the Queen Su Wan'er and the little prince Zhao Lingwu.

Su Wan'er's eyes were pointed and the tails of her eyes were upturned. The charming and elegant temperament of the past was lost, and replaced by endless resentment and cruelty.

She whispered to the little prince Zhao Lingwu in her arms, and said calmly:

"Little Lingwu, listen to your mother, you must remember the backs of these bad guys, they are all big bad guys who want to take over the country of the Great Xin Dynasty!"

"My mother promises you that she will never let these big bad guys succeed!"

"Believe me, no one can take the country of the Zhao family of the Great Xin Dynasty away from our little Lingwu!"

Listening to the queen mother's muttering, the young Zhao Lingwu nodded as if he understood.

In Yingzhou City, the Great Xin Dynasty's Hu Ben Army is stationed.

In the central army tent, the son of the Great Xin Dynasty, the famous flying general Li Jingyu, is reviewing the intelligence sent back from the front line of Yunzhou and the Hu Ben Army's siege troops.

Today is October 29th, the first year of Jian'an.

Ten days have passed since the Youzhou Hu Ben Army was ordered to besiege Yunzhou City.

However, the 150,000 Hu Ben Army was trapped outside Yunzhou City and could not move forward.

Even the moat of Yunzhou City could not be crossed.

If it were not for the Longcheng Jingnan Army stationed in Yunzhou City, Deputy Marshal Chang Yuchun, who had received an order from Jin Wang Chen Huaian in advance not to abandon the city without authorization.

Perhaps, the 150,000 Hu Ben Army that came to attack the city would have been swallowed up by the Yunzhou defenders under Chang Yuchun's command.

Several battles between the two sides outside Yunzhou City ended with the defeat of the Hu Ben Army.

When the news of the failure of the front-line siege troops was continuously transmitted back to the ears of Li Jingyu, the flying general who was stationed in Yingzhou Base Camp and commanding the battle, he was so anxious that he got angry.

It has been several days, and I can't eat or sleep well.

"Report--"

"General, urgent military information in Tumubao!"

Suddenly, a messenger's voice was heard outside the big tent.

Soon, a dusty and exhausted messenger of the Hu Ben Army, supported by the personal soldiers outside the tent, came into the tent and knelt down to Li Jingyu:

"General, the 200,000 imperial soldiers led by the emperor were defeated in Tumubao, the emperor was killed, and the army was scattered!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Li Jingyu, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, stood up suddenly.

Not caring about the majesty of the general, he rushed to the messenger in two steps and three steps, grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him up.

He asked viciously: "Say it again!"

The messenger looked aggrieved, but still replied in a crying voice: "General, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"The entire area of ​​Tumubao is dozens of miles away, and there are corpses of the imperial soldiers preparing for the Japanese, as well as burned food and supplies."

"I finally dug out a person who was still breathing from the pile of dead bodies. He told me that the emperor was captured alive by the Longcheng rebels in Tumubao."

"Life and death, life and death unknown!"

Tang!

Li Jingyu pushed the messenger to the ground, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his energy and spirit in an instant, and his eyes became sluggish and his spirit was depressed.

The emperor who rewarded him with the yellow axe bow and arrow was captured, how could he fight this war?

Next, Chen Huaian, the traitor, only needs to take the emperor to the gates of major cities and knock on the gates, without any soldiers, and he can sweep all the major cities of the Daxin Dynasty.

I thought that I met a wise king, and I could inherit my father's will, make achievements for the Daxin Zhao Dynasty, and be appointed as a marquis.

Who would have thought that Zhao Gan was actually a guy who looked strong but was useless, and might even become the first emperor in history to knock on the gates.

This battle cannot be fought!

However, what made Li Jingyu even more desperate was yet to come.

He had just sent away the messenger who had returned from Tumubao, and then he received urgent military information from the rear.

"Report--"

"Report to the general, urgent military information!"

The next moment, Li Jingyu's deputy general Feng Zhongliang rushed into the central army tent.

Feng Zhongliang looked panicked and said hurriedly: "General, something bad has happened. Our army, our army's grain route has been attacked by the Longcheng rebels!"

"The cavalry of the Longcheng rebels went around Wuzhou from Mobei, and then defeated the imperial guards and Japanese soldiers led by the emperor in the Tumubao area, and then followed the army's marching route, chasing all the way and attacking our army's grain route!"

"At this moment, the cavalry vanguard of the Longcheng rebels is less than 200 miles away from Yingzhou City. In a day or two, the front of the army can point directly at the back of our army!"

"General, this battle cannot be fought!"

Click!

In the central army tent, Li Jingyu, who was originally standing, heard the news of the attack on the army's grain route from the deputy general Feng Zhongliang, and then slumped down on the chair.

For Li Jingyu, the news of the emperor's capture still gave him room to maneuver calmly, whether to fight or flee.

But the news of the attack on the army's food supply route was like a bolt from the blue for him and his 200,000 Tiger Soldiers. They had to make a decision without delay.

It was early winter now. The 200,000 Tiger Soldiers who had lost their food and supplies did not even need the Longcheng rebels to take action. A heavy snowfall at any time was enough to kill Li Jingyu and the Tiger Soldiers.

At this moment, Li Jingyu no longer hesitated.

He immediately ordered: "Deputy General Feng, pass the order down. The Tiger Soldiers besieging Yunzhou will immediately evacuate in an orderly manner and retreat to Huanzhou. There must be no mistakes!"

"I have received the order!"
