While Chu Xizhao had made a general strategy, the main forces of both sides were also constantly moving towards the front lines of both sides!
What is even more shocking is that during this period, a major event that shocked the world happened!
And this incident caught all the forces in the world by surprise. At the same time, Chu Xizhao was even more caught off guard, causing Chu Xizhao's plan to come to nothing before it was implemented.
】
According to the court's agreed plan, the Zhenbei Army will go south to the Guanxi Road, and cooperate with the forces in the Zhenxi Mansion that are still loyal to the court to completely eliminate the threat of Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin to ensure that Chu Xizhao's army is in When fighting in the east, the security of the western defense line.
The Zhenbei Army also implemented this strategy. However, just after the Zhenbei Army entered Hedong Road, the Hedong and Hexi Prefectural Army launched a surprise attack on the Zhenbei Army at the same time. General Yan Beikuan personally took action, causing Zhenbei Army to attack. General Lie Qiankun was seriously injured.
Fortunately, the Zhenbei Army was more powerful than the two provincial armies of Hedong Road and Hexi Road. Yanhu Liebaoqi and Baima Yicong fought tooth and nail and finally escorted Lie Qiankun out.
However, after this battle, 30,000 of the 100,000 Zhenbei Army who marched south were killed in battle, and another 30,000 were captured alive. Those who broke out were only less than 40,000.
Not only that, although Lie Qiankun broke out of the encirclement, the two armies of Hedong Road and Hexi Road were still unyielding and pursued the remaining Zhenbei Army. The two powerful generals Gongsun Shu and Xiao Chen joined forces. After a break, Lie Qiankun was able to break through again.
However, these two powerful generals were also seriously injured one after another. After they escaped back, each of them only had his last breath left! As for the 100,000-strong army, after constant pursuit, the number that actually escaped was not even 30,000!
After that, the imperial court branded the Zhenbei Army as a rebel on the grounds that they planned to assassinate the Emperor and Queen of Da Cang!
When things get to this point, Lie Qiankun is like mud falling out of his crotch, and it’s either shit or shit! And now that things have come to this, Lie Qiankun has no choice but to fight back! In fact, the vast majority of Zhenbei's senior officials and even the Lie clan stood with Lie Qiankun!
The loss of more than 70,000 Zhenbei elites has never happened several times in the hundreds of years of Zhenbei Army's history, even in the war with Beidi! However, this time, it was actually damaged in the hands of "one's own" people!
Moreover, Gongsun Shu and Xiao Chen were seriously injured and dying. Even if they were rescued, they would have to stay in bed for at least a year.
This made all the senior officials in Zhenbei filled with indignation!
What's more, now Huangfu Mingzhao has defined them as rebels. This time in Zhenbei, it can be said that the emperor has forced his ministers to rebel, and the ministers have no choice but to rebel!
After that, Lie Qiankun became furious, angrily denounced Huangfu Mingzhao's court as unjust, and angrily denounced Huangfu Mingzhao as a man without a king and a father. Although he did not clearly fall in favor of Huangfu Mingze, he showed a certain tendency! Although he himself was seriously injured and unable to move, he ordered General Lie Yuansheng to personally lead an army of 80,000 to respond to the alliance forces headed by Huangfu Mingze!
Although there are 300,000 troops in the Zhenbei Army, how can we not leave heavy troops in the important border areas? If more troops are mobilized, then Beidi might make a comeback!
Eighty thousand soldiers, this is already the limit that the Zhenbei Army can use after experiencing such a huge loss.
However, this alone has caused all Chu Xizhao's arrangements for Hebei Road to come to nothing.
On that day, after Empress Yin and Huangfu Mingzhao were assassinated one after another, although Huangfu Mingzhao had already become suspicious of the four towns because of the Buddhist scriptures of suppressing the prison in Futu. However, Huangfu Mingzhao is still not sure which one it is. After all, there is not just one in the Four Towns, but four.
Among these four families, Huangfu Mingzhao prefers the Zhao family. Among these four families, the Zhao family is currently the most active, and among these four families, the one that is openly rebelling is also the Zhao family.
However, with the investigation by various forces such as Dali Temple and Liumen, the suspicion continued to move closer to the direction of the Zhenbei Army. To be more precise, it was not only moving in the direction of the Zhenbei Army, but moving in the direction of Huangfu Mingfeng.
The pharmacist was recommended to the court through Yu Niaojuan, who also appeared among the group of men in black who assassinated the queen that day.
However, the group of men in black who assassinated the queen did not leave any survivors. Everyone had crushed the poison hidden in their teeth the second before they were captured.
These men in black were obviously well-trained, and the guards were definitely well-trained, but they still failed to prevent these men in black from committing suicide.
And You Niaojuan was no exception. However, he did not commit suicide by swallowing poison, but died after his heart was shattered by the palm of the heavenly being during the battle.
However, in a secret house of You Niao Juan, some traces of communication between You Niao Juan and Huangfu Mingfeng were discovered.
In fact, it was a "lucky" that Dali Temple found this clue. If they hadn't accidentally learned from a maid in Yu Niaojuan's home that Yu Niaojuan had an outer room hidden outside, they might have really found it. Nothing will be gained!
Even so, Dali Temple once again went through many twists and turns afterwards, and even had some lucky factors, and finally found some traces.
This is the genius of the planner. If Dali Temple gets these clues too easily, it will make Huangfu Mingzhao suspicious. The more complicated the clues Dali Temple gets and the more difficulties and obstacles it goes through, the easier it will be to win Huangfu Mingzhao's trust.
Even the design here took Di Renjie’s opinions into consideration. A master of cutting off eucalyptus conducts reverse reasoning, how to create a design that is not suspicious!
Not only that, in this world, anti-existence will always have traces of its existence, and there will definitely be no traces left behind. The only difference is whether anyone can find it!
In many imperial institutions such as Dali Temple and Liumen Gate, although there are many incompetent people, it can even be said that there are many mediocre people, there are also many shrewd people.
When His Majesty and the Queen were assassinated together, many people would even lose their heads if a satisfactory answer could not be given.
If these people don't want to die, they have to do their best!
The eunuch was sent to the palace since he was a child and has been lurking in the palace for more than twenty years. However, this also means that this eunuch has been Huangfu Mingfeng's secret chess for too long!
For more than twenty years, no matter how well this eunuch hides himself, it is impossible for him to leave no trace...
