When the emperor left the city, he was guarded by three thousand imperial troops on his side, and in the middle was a camp of two thousand warriors clearing the way.
Countless probing horses galloped out in all directions.
After the emperor's dragon chariot left the city, its speed became much faster.
But the carriages of the princes behind them were faintly far away from the emperor's dragon chariot.
The princes didn't seem to like being too close to the emperor.
The military commanders and civil servants stayed close to the dragon chariot.
For a moment, the entire team was slightly deformed, but it was still within control.
However, when the team was less than five miles away from the imperial capital, a general came to Wu Guogong Zhu Guangxiao and whispered something to him.
Wu Guogong's expression did not change, he nodded calmly, looking far away.
At this time, Emperor Xuyang still did not lower the curtain, and all these actions of Duke Wu fell in his eyes.
If he had no intention of coming to him for questioning.
If he, the emperor, had to take care of everything, he would be exhausted.
There are many things to learn to delegate, which he reflected on from his grandfather.
I also realized and saw the benefits of doing this from my own father.
My grandfather was so determined to hold on to power that he did not even live to be 50 years old.
And his father continued to delegate power and became the only grandmaster in the history of the royal family.
At the same time, it was able to suppress the Northern Barbarians so that they would not dare to cross the border for 20 years.
The country is even more peaceful, and no one dares to jump out and cause trouble.
Unlike me, now I am a cat and a dog who want to jump out and rebel against me.
Emperor Xuyang's fingers tapped on the car window unconsciously.
The civil servant group on his right saw this action, and many imaginations suddenly emerged from this action in their minds.
These people had their own thoughts, but their faces were uniformly calm.
The team moved forward for about two miles, and most people could already sense that something was happening.
Because scouts were constantly separating from the imperial army and warrior camps in front of and behind the emperor.
But it happens that more people go out and less people come back.
But Wu Guogong's face was still extremely calm.
The emperor had already put away his fingers, which should have hurt after knocking for so long.
He was currently half-siting against the car window with his eyes closed and dozing off.
The emperor did not show the slightest worry about external affairs, because Wu Guogong was responsible for everything.
When an unknown cavalryman appeared in the distance, a strange look appeared on the faces of all the officials and nobles.
In particular, several of the nobles and princes had obvious worries on their faces.
This sudden cavalry is a bit strange.
Although it was only seen from a distance, anyone who had been on the battlefield could roughly tell that this cavalry group consisted of at least tens of thousands of people.
And with the appearance of this cavalry, groups of scouts rushed in its direction, like one after another rushing toward a fire...
Moth!
A sense of chilling arose from the front, rear, left and right sides of the emperor's carriage.
The emperor's bodyguards also narrowed their guard area to within ten steps of the emperor's dragon chariot.
For them, this distance can be regarded as close protection.
Within ten steps, a thought arrives!
The faces of these guards were calm. No matter what the situation, they had only one mission, and that was to protect the emperor's safety.
They were a group of twenty people, and they were absolutely sure that even in the worst case scenario, they could lead the emperor to break out.
This is the confidence of having five top-level Dacheng realms!
"Your Majesty, we have been tricked."
The Duke of Wu, Zhu Guangxiao, has come to Emperor Xuyang now, and there are some things that must be reported to him.
Not a good thing though.
“Oh, they’re quite capable.
Hirotaka, I used this bait to catch the big fish for you.
You can share with me the grilled fish at the back. "
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will watch the heat!"
Facing ten thousand cavalry, the emperor's five thousand guards didn't look very good.
Even civil servants know that on the battlefield, cavalry will be at least five for one against infantry.
If the 10,000 cavalrymen in the distance come with bad intentions, then the emperor must have at least 50,000 infantrymen to resist them.
Even if the emperor is surrounded by elites, he will still need at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.
But now they only have five thousand.
Kong Xiaolian, the head of the six departments of the current dynasty and the capital university, hurried to the emperor's dragon chariot on foot.
Because of the appearance of this cavalry in the distance, the entire team stopped.
"His Majesty."
Kong Xiaolian first bowed respectfully and uprightly.
Although the situation seemed to be quite anxious, he still looked calm.
As a scholar in the capital of the current dynasty and the head of civil servants, he must be unfazed by favors and humiliations at any time.
"Um?"
Emperor Xuyang opened his eyes and looked at his humerus minister.
"What's wrong?"
Emperor Xuyang never calls anyone close to him his beloved or any other title in front of him.
Either call them by their first names, or even omit their names.
He learned this from his father.
Among the civil servants, many people were extremely opposed to his approach.
They believe that as an emperor, he should set an example for his subjects and be polite and courteous.
It's a pity that Emperor Xuyang ignored them at all.
However, those who were actually treated like this by Emperor Xuyang were actually secretly happy in their hearts, regardless of their martial arts.
Because this shows that they have fallen into the eyes of Emperor Xuyang.
He became Emperor Xuyang’s confidant.
Although there are some people who made demands for Emperor Xuyang's behavior, they were secretly happy when they were at home.
"A cavalry appeared in front of the team, numbering approximately over 10,000 people."
Kong Xiaolian did not say a word of nonsense, but told the reality completely.
But what Kong Xiaolian didn't expect was that Emperor Xuyang didn't even roll his eyelids, he just said softly and closed his eyes again.
Kong Xiaolian knew that Emperor Xuyang didn't want to say anything more on this matter.
Kong Xiaolian was familiar with Emperor Xuyang's temper, and he didn't want to talk about it.
Of course, Kong Xiaolian had no ability to force the other party to say it, and there was no need for it.
For this emperor, 02 is sincerely convinced.
Although not as domineering and powerful as his father, Emperor Kangyang.
But the emperor's scheming is definitely deep enough, and his methods are also very sophisticated.
And there is a huge difference between him and his father, that is, he does not fight alone.
By his side, he has a master of martial arts like Shangguan Ba who brings almost the entire world to him as a support.
There is also Mi Yusong, who has reached the peak of his cultivation in order to protect the safety of Emperor Xu Yang, and also controls two huge intelligence organizations.
There are even experienced and talented generals like Wu Guogong and Qin Guogong working for him.
Can he really subvert such a character?
Kong Xiaolian didn’t know.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
In fact, if no catastrophe comes, Emperor Xuyang will still be good as the ruler of this empire.
But it is a pity that the catastrophe is approaching for Emperor Xuyang. It is not enough to just think about making this empire better.
The time has come when neither destruction nor establishment can be achieved.
Immediately, Kong Xiaolian bowed and left the emperor's dragon chariot, and came to the side of Wu Guogong Zhu Guangxiao.
"Zhu Shuai!"
"Kong Gong!"
The two greeted each other.
"I know what Duke Kong wants to come over and ask."
Zhu Guangxiao, Duke of Wu State, got straight to the point.
"There are just some young people in the distance, like clowns, so don't worry Mr. Kong.
I have my own countermeasures. "
Wu Guogong said it in an understatement, but it was like a thunder in Kong Xiaolian's ears.
Could it be that this incident caused the other party to deliberately condone it?
Thinking of this, Kong Xiaolian glanced at Wu Guogong without leaving any trace.
He is worthy of being a military god who is victorious in every battle.
Although this time he is not his opponent as Wu Guogong.
But even Kong Xiaolian had to admit that this time Wu Guogong and others were a little too confident. The opponent they had to deal with was not a simple person.
"That puts my mind at ease."
Kong Xiaolian said this, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Wu Guogong behind him.
"Is Mr. Kong really relieved?
If you were really at ease, you wouldn't confirm it again and again.
Isn't His Majesty's indifference enough to reassure you? "
Kong Xiaolian paused slightly, turned his head and took a deep look at Wu Guogong and said:
"Don't I trust Zhu Shuai more?"
"Um."
Duke Wu nodded, and then his eyes fell on the cavalry in the distance.
At this time, the scouts sent by Wu Guogong were about to approach the cavalry.
But what happened next moment shocked everyone, including Wu Guogong.
I saw the opponent's cavalry team moving. The team seemed to disperse to both sides, revealing a gap in the middle.
And in the next moment, everyone knew what this empty space was used for.
Thousand Oxen Crossbow!
There were about ten thousand oxen crossbow arrows fired at the scouts!
Several scout teams received fatal blows one after another.
The arrows of the Thousand Ox Crossbow are incredibly fast, and only warriors at the Dacheng realm can escape with their lives at such a speed.
And these scouts didn't even have any room to resist.
Looking at a series of scouts falling off their horses in the distance. Some were even strung together into gourds along with their war horses.
What shocked everyone was certainly not the fact that these scouts were killed.
But because of the Thousand Ox Crossbow.
Not all soldiers and horses are equipped with such important weapons of the country.
Even among the Forbidden Army, not all soldiers and horses can be equipped with Thousand Ox Crossbows.
Every Thousand Ox Crossbow is recorded and numbered.
Living outside is absolutely not allowed.
Because this is the most powerful weapon that Zhengyang Kingdom has when facing the Northern Barbarians.
It is also the most difficult weapon for the Northern Barbarians.
Even if there is a Thousand Ox Crossbow on the battlefield that may be captured by the enemy, soldiers will destroy it at the last moment even if they risk their lives. This is an iron law in the military.
And now a Thousand Ox Crossbow appeared among the cavalry team in the distance.
It can only explain one thing. The cavalry on the opposite side should be the most important cavalry team.
There are only three cavalry units with such a configuration near the imperial capital.
Kou Yiwen, the commander of the imperial army, came to Wu Guogong's side. He squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite side carefully and said in a deep voice:
"Shuai Zhu, the other side should not be my Three Thousand Battalion."
The Three Thousand Battalion is the most powerful cavalry among the Forbidden Army.
Emperor Xuyang increased the number of this cavalry from the original three thousand to more than twenty thousand today.
This shows the heavy use of this cavalry.
At the same time, it also represents his trust in this cavalry.
If there is a problem with even this cavalry, then the matter will be really serious.
"Um."
Wu Guogong just nodded and said nothing else.
He also saw that the cavalry on the opposite side was not the Three Thousand Battalion.
“All our scouts have probably been blocked off now.
Do you still have a way to contact your Three Thousand Battalion? "
Now only the cavalry can deal with the cavalry in front of them.
As the two briefly communicated, the cavalry on the opposite side began to charge.
The distance between the two sides was only about five miles, which was exactly the starting distance of the cavalry charge.
The behavior of this cavalry just using the Thousand Bull Crossbow to kill the scouts seemed to declare their attitude. They would use overwhelming force to deal with the emperor's team just like they ruthlessly killed the scouts.
Seeing the cavalry charging on the opposite side, the commander of the Warrior Battalion started yelling without waiting for Duke Wu to issue any orders.
"Line up a four-fold shield formation, defensive posture!"
As his order was issued, the warrior battalion began to take action.
One of the cavalry squads of more than 300 people lined up at the back of the team.
If the worst happens, this small cavalry team will be responsible for opening an escape route for the emperor.
"The enemy is unstoppable, so why not cut off your tail to survive?"
Kou Yiwen said to Wu Guogong that with his qualifications, he did not know what Wu Guogong and the others planned.
Although I know they must have their own plans,
But use five thousand infantry against ten thousand cavalry.
It's simply courting death.
No, facing the charge of ten thousand cavalry, he was not even just looking for death.
This means that you don’t even need to buy it after you die.
The charge of ten thousand cavalry was enough to turn them into a pile of flesh.
Use the horse's hooves to step directly into the soil.
Thinking about it, the vegetation here will definitely grow particularly lush next year.
Kou Yiwen thought a lot in his mind at once, which was his habit.
I tend to think a lot before fighting and think very comprehensively.
This thought was just one of his many thoughts.
He has even made it possible for multiple thoughts to flash through your mind at the same time.
But it will not affect his combat command.
"Shields guard both sides, archers are ready!
The spearman is ready. After thrusting the horse, there is no need to see the result, just abandon the gun! "
"Here!"
Immediately a messenger ran to deliver the order.
It can be said that the quality of these elites is still very strong, and they responded quickly when the command flag wavered.
Even though the cavalry had launched a charge in the distance and the ground began to tremble, these soldiers still acted in strict accordance with the military orders, with determination on their faces.
These are all warriors who have been on the battlefield.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial capital, whether they are the imperial army or the warrior battalion, will rotate to the north to station for a period of time and have real battles with the northern barbarians.
Those who grow up in this way are real soldiers.
Otherwise it's just a showpiece.
Unfortunately, having the Thousand Ox Crossbow means that the cavalry in front of them is at least such a team.
He has truly experienced the battlefield, seen life and death, and tempered his mind.
But now the sword tips of this army are pointing inward, pointing at their own people.
"Where did those soldiers and horses come from?"
Emperor Xuyang had opened his eyes, but his arms were still leaning on the sill of the car window.
A chamberlain in uniform beside him immediately trotted to Wu Guogong, leaned over and said respectfully:
"Mr. Wu Guo, Your Majesty called me over to ask, which army is in front of you?"
The chamberlain looks young, but his aura is extremely condensed and profound. Only top warriors like Wu Guogong can see his depth.
"Mi Yusong's disciple?"
Duke Guangxiao of Wu suddenly asked a question that was not answered.
The waiter was suddenly startled, and then leaned even lower.
"I don't dare to call you a disciple. We are just lucky to have some advice from the Admiral."
"hehe, not bad."
Zhu Guangxiao smiled and praised, then looked up at the cavalry who had already charged halfway, sighed and said:
"That was the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army's Governor's Mansion, the Marquis of Wei who was stationed at Baoding Tiance Guards...
Luqiu Jade Book! "
When the chamberlain heard this, he trembled all over and lowered his body a little, so that no one could see the expression on his face.
Zhu Guangxiao could feel the faint vigilance radiating from him.
"Haha, that's right, you are right!"
Suddenly Zhu Guangxiao laughed. The waiter stood up slightly and glanced at Zhu Guangxiao out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know what he meant by this.
But he was even more wary.
Who is Lu Qiu Yushu, the Marquis of Wei State? He was the right-hand man of Duke Wu. Once when Duke Wu went to conquer the Northern Barbarians, he was in the middle of the army, and the Marquis of Wei State was the vanguard.
The Tiance Guards under the command of Marquis Wei Guo were named by His Majesty himself and are the most powerful cavalry in the world!
Such a cavalry actually rebelled!
If there was no influence of Wu Guogong behind this, he would never believe it.
Thinking like this, the vigilance in his heart almost solidified.
The internal energy in his body quickly circulated throughout his body with a roar that only he could hear.
A stream of internal force gathered in the limbs and bones, ready to strike at any time.
Although the servant knew that he might not be Wu Guogong's opponent even if he exerted all his strength, he was confident that he could attract the attention of others.
For His Majesty and the Admiral, it is worth dying!
"Okay, take it back, I'm not your enemy!"
Zhu Guangxiao suddenly stopped laughing and spoke to the chamberlain attentively.
"Go and tell His Majesty the truth!"
The chamberlain stood up and looked straight at Zhu Guangxiao.
Suddenly, he turned around suddenly, left Zhu Guangxiao's side in one stride, and came several feet away in two steps.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. Only the few guards around the emperor reacted immediately. Four of them took a step at the same time and came to the direct line between Zhu Guangxiao and Emperor Xuyang.
Emperor Xuyang raised his eyes slightly and couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and patted the dragon chariot.
"Hey, you guys have passed, what do you think Duke Wu is!"
After hearing Emperor Xu Yang's words, several guards immediately relaxed and returned to their original positions.
And the chamberlain came to Emperor Xuyang, looking like he had done something wrong.
Emperor Xuyang looked at him with a smile and said:
"Little Stool, you are still too young, you were teased like this by Wu Guogong in just a few words.
But you must remember the lesson of this time, no matter what time, you must be calm, you know it! "
The chambermaid nodded repeatedly, but he still had doubts in his heart. Unfortunately, no one could answer him for the time being.
