Chapter three hundred and sixty-eight: the situation will rise
After coming out of Yun Zhao's place, Yan Xiaoyi immediately rushed straight into Huang Pu's place aggressively. In his opinion, this guy deliberately revealed the news in front of the boss. Rou Niang was an untouchable scar in the boss's heart.
The door was knocked open with a bang, and what greeted Yan Xiaoyi was Huang Pu's vomiting sound, which was lying on the edge of the bed. The room was filled with an unpleasant smell of sour rot.
He raised his head and looked at Yan Xiaoyi with blood-red eyes, "Here, have another bowl, do it!" Huang Pu laughed.
"What a shame!" Yan Xiaoyi stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out again. Tomorrow, wait until this guy wakes up and deal with him again.
Guo Feng gently knocked on Yun Zhao's door.
"Come in!" Yun Zhao's deep voice came from inside the room.
"General!" Guo Feng opened the door and walked in, then closed the door tightly. He did not attend today's banquet, but when he appeared at the door of Yunzhao's room, he already knew what happened at the banquet today.
everything.
"Do you know everything?" Yun Zhao put the box in his hand into the box, pointed to the chair, "Sit down!"
"My subordinates already know."
"Go out and find out this matter yourself." Yun Zhao sat down, picked up the cold tea in front of him, and took a big gulp.
"Understood!"
"Any idea where to start?"
"According to the intelligence we collected, when the fourth prince was returning to Beijing, after arriving in Weizhou, he received the news and hurriedly returned. Then a battle broke out near Tongzhou and Mopan Mountain. It was there that the fourth prince disappeared.
In everyone’s sight, where will we start from?" Guo Feng said.
"Find them."
"What should we do if we find it?" Guo Feng lowered his head and asked.
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, "Find her and tell her I'm here."
"yes!"
"Before you leave, contact Jardan for me. I want to see her."
"Yaldan?" Guo Feng said in surprise.
"Yes." Yun Zhao's eyes flashed with light, "What Huang Pu said is mixed with truth and falsehood. Yaerdan should know the twists and turns in it. She has always known it, and I want to get the truth from her."
"I'm afraid this little witch will be difficult to deal with. General, she is seeking skin from a tiger. She only wants us to have internal disputes," Guo Feng said.
"I know, just go ahead and get in touch. You should still have a channel, right?"
Guo Feng nodded. "Yes. It was the channel we used to trade with them. Later, although the transaction was cut off, the channel was always there. Yaldan didn't know the reason, so he didn't touch them. We also kept it."
Come down."
"You go ahead!"
Guo Feng stood up and left Yun Zhao's room.
The northern border of Vietnam was covered with dark clouds. A drastic change was imminent, but in the south thousands of miles away, the war had already begun. The powerful forces arranged in advance by Li Xiao in the south immediately discovered the coup that had taken place in Beijing.
Ye Kai's Weiwei troops suddenly returned from Guizhou. When they entered Binzhou and wanted to capture Binzhou in one fell swoop, they swept through the three southern states. What greeted him was Binzhou's tall city walls and the heavily armed Binzhou town army.
Wan Changfeng stood on the city wall, looking at the Weiwei flags flying below the city, with a sneer on his face. Not only Binzhou, but also Huzhou and Ezhou had already begun to take action at this time. The combined troops of the three states exceeded 150,000.
It is really wishful thinking to think of taking over the three southern states with just a few troops.
The only thing that worries Wan Changfeng, Di Rengui, and He Huaijin now is that the whereabouts of the fourth prince are unknown. Without the fourth prince, Sanzhou's actions will seem to have no backbone and no reputation for righteousness. Although they can temporarily resist their opponents,
Defeat the opponent, but it cannot last long. What if the fourth prince is unlucky?
Wan Changfeng was worried about the whereabouts of the fourth prince, but Ye Kai at the foot of the city was almost going crazy. He never expected that the three southern states would react so quickly, and his actions after entering Binzhou were not unpleasant.
, but Wan Changfeng still prepared everything before he arrived in the city. Now, he is the one sitting on the crater
There are people, fight. With the power of more than 10,000 people, how can it be possible to defeat this majestic provincial capital? The three southern states have always been rich, and the state cities are extremely strong. Looking at Wan Changfeng's actions, they are obviously
They have been prepared for a long time, and the soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped. What if they can't defeat them? Ye Kai couldn't imagine how he would face the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor.
What's more, in Guizhou, the White Lotus Sect's military front has directly threatened the hinterland of Guizhou. He has taken away half of the Weiwei. What will happen if Guizhou loses? Originally, he wanted to end the operation against the three southern states with a blitzkrieg.
But now it seems that it is simply impossible.
Ye Kai can't advance or retreat. Should he return to Guizhou? Since he can't take the south, he has to seize one end! But thinking of this, the three southern states will become a worry for His Majesty, and I'm afraid his own head will be no different.
Save.
Just when Ye Kai hesitated, Wen Zhaolun, also known as Li Qing of the Li royal family, arrived in Ezhou, the center of the three southern states.
"Doctor Wen!" Looking at Wen Zhaolun, who was limping with a dusty face and his face bandaged with thick gauze, He Huaijin almost didn't believe his eyes, "How did you escape from Shangjing?"
Li Qing stared at He Huaijin and said word by word: "He Huaijin, can the fourth prince Li Xiao trust you? Can he give you a heavy responsibility?"
He Huaijin was stunned, looking at the scarred Wen Zhaolun, and said solemnly: "Fourth Master can naturally trust me. Hubei, Hu, and Binzhou are already well prepared. They can raise the flag of righteousness at any time and go straight to Beijing to punish the traitors.
I will make the world brighter and brighter!"
"Very good!" Li Qing took out something from his arms and held it high, "Kneel down and receive the late emperor's decree!"
In an instant, He Huaijin's eyes showed a look of ecstasy. The last decree, that is to say, among the last emperor's last decree, the throne must be passed on to the fourth master. With such a thing, his actions will be the master's.
It is famous that if you have such a thing, you will not be afraid of material criticism, and you can even put the eldest prince in Beijing at the forefront of the storm.
With a bang, he knelt down on his knees and raised his hands above his head, "My lord, how can you honor the late emperor's decree with great honor!"
After reading Li Jia's will, He Huaijin couldn't contain the joy in his heart, "Mr. Wen, thank you for bringing us such an important thing. The fourth master will definitely reward you heavily in the future. You go and rest first.
Recuperate, I will immediately invite Master Di, Master Wan and officials from the three states to gather in Ezhou to discuss important matters. Leave the rest to us!"
Li Qing smiled slightly, "I can't rest yet. I promised Nianyun, that girl, to support the situation here for Li Xiao and her before they arrive in the south."
He Huaijin was stunned, "Doctor Wen, how do you understand this important military and national matter?"
Li Qing took out a jade medal from his arms and handed it to He Huaijin, "I didn't want to interfere at first, but after all, this is my Li family's business, so I have to intervene."
He Huaijin looked at the jade token in his hand doubtfully, with an increasingly surprised look on his face, "This, this, you, who are you?"
"My name is Li Qing, brother of Emperor Yongle of Dayue!" Li Qing looked at He Huaijin calmly. "Well, this is Li Xiao's token. You should recognize it, right?"
He Huaijin looked at the token representing Li Xiao handed over by Li Qing. He had no doubts in his heart and knelt down again. "Your Highness has been in Ezhou for many years, and He knows nothing about it. It's really rude."
Li Qing waved his hand, "Get up, if this thing hadn't happened, I would never have recognized my Li family!" He Huaijin stood up with a long sigh, knowing in his heart that this must be related to the original royal family.
It’s better not to know the secrets of these things yourself.
"Your Highness, what should we do after receiving you?" He Huaijin asked as the two sat down.
"The first step, of course, is to work with Binzhou and Huzhou to publicize His Majesty the late Emperor's will, raise the flag of righteousness, attack the traitor Li Jian who is seeking to usurp the throne, and build momentum first," Li Qingdao.
"Yes, I think so too. But in this way, it will be a public break with Shangjing. The only thing I am worried about is what if the fourth master doesn't come back for a long time?" He Huaijin asked, but he actually meant something.
The meaning has not yet been revealed. Once the late emperor's edict is made public, the authorities in Beijing will spare no effort to arrest Li Xiao. If Li Xiao is captured and cannot come to the south, it will be a huge blow to the bottom of the pot.
"You don't have to worry about this. Li Xiao and Nianyun are not fools. They will definitely be able to turn danger into disaster. Of course, we have to send people here to search all the way." Li Qingdao. "Of course, now we also
We need Li Xiao to boost morale, so..." He looked at the other party.
He Huaijin raised his brows and understood what the other party meant, "Before Fourth Master arrives, we first find a substitute to show up for Fourth Master at certain times. In this way, firstly, we can build up morale, and secondly, we can also make the other party relax.
The arrest of Fourth Master will help Fourth Master escape."
"Master He is indeed smart!" Li Qing smiled and said, "Let's do it like this!"
That night, fast horses set off from Ezhou City and ran towards Huzhou and Binzhou. Notices of martial law, recruitment, and war preparations were posted all over the streets, alleys, counties and towns of Ezhou in the shortest possible time. The soldiers
Begin to assemble and collect food and fodder.
In Ezhou City, in a large house, Gou Jing's body became even more stooped. The fourth master escaped from his hands and chose to pursue the north, but it was obvious that he pursued the wrong one. Although he wiped out all those who followed Zi Yan,
One of the Fourth Master's confidants, but finally allowed the Fourth Master to escape. He rushed to Ezhou as fast as possible, but it was already too late. Ezhou was already preparing to raise a banner and rebel against Beijing.
"You said tomorrow they will announce the late emperor's edict and then swear an alliance?" Gou Jing asked an official opposite him feebly as he kept coughing and gargling.
"Yes, manager, everything is ready."
"No sign of the fourth prince?" Gou Jing asked.
The visitor shook his head, "He Huaijin only obeyed the orders of Divine Doctor Wen. There was no trace of the fourth prince."
Gou Jing coughed violently until he was out of breath. "I understand, go ahead and keep a close eye on them. When these rebellions are quelled in the future, Your Majesty will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, manager!" The visitor exited happily.
