At this point, Huang Qiong's finger suddenly broke through Ouyang's defense line. Ouyang's face, which had already been made red by Huang Qiong's evil hand, was so red that it was dripping with tears. And looking at the shy woman in front of him, Huang Qiong became excited again. How could he still restrain himself? His hands became even more aggressive in doing evil. He smoothly pulled Mrs. Hu up and pressed Mrs. Li down.
That night, Huang Qiong rested at Li's place. Among the several women, he did not let go. After getting up on the second day, Huang Qiong felt refreshed and put on her clothes under the service of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hu. Because he was taken care of by himself, Jiang has not recovered yet. Ouyang, who was still weak at this time, held her in his arms and comforted her before leaving.
And just when Huang Qiong and several women were having a storm in Li's palace. Thousands of miles away in Jingjiang Mansion, the King of Han, who had retreated all the way from Jiangnan West Road to his own palace, looked at the civil and military officials kneeling in front of him and became furious: "I asked you to come because of the current situation. I am the one who comes out to make plans. It is not for you to come and tell me that the King of Han is wise."
"Now the officers and soldiers have reached Meiguan. Once Meiguan is lost, there will be no barrier on the east and west routes of Guangnan. The officers and soldiers may reach Jingjiang Mansion at any time. Do you want Gu to throw away the centuries-old foundation created by the late king? Are the tombs of the ancestors of the past kings just exiled overseas? I have been alone for so many years and spent countless money and silk. How can I raise a bunch of drunkards like you who only talk nonsense?"
Today, the King of Han has torn off his usually gentle look and became so angry. The reason is not only that the situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly unfavorable. First, the Jiangnan West Road was defeated. The 200,000 troops that he had painstakingly cultivated. Except for those who died in battle, the rest became prisoners of the official army. Next, he personally led tens of thousands of troops and besieged Nan'an City for more than a month.
They used the masses to attack the few, but they fought hard and couldn't even take down the outer wall of Nan'an City. On the contrary, under Ouyang Shan's quick reinforcements, he was swept away. If it wasn't for the one who was behind the cover, it was his trusted general who led his bodyguards and soldiers to fight tooth and nail before covering him and running back to Meiguan. The incident in Nan'an happened again, and he also lost his last loyal army.
Now I can only stay in isolation. We still don't know when the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers currently stationed in Ganzhou and Nan'an will go south to attack their hinterland. The most critical thing is that after several consecutive battles in Jiangxi, all the capable soldiers in his hands have been lost. The remaining troops and horses, let alone launching a new offensive against the imperial court, were already unable to defend the east-west road of Guangnan.
If he can't come up with a solution, he may not be able to hold on to the fundamental place of Guangnan West Road. And in these years, I have been holding a lot of money and these guys, apart from saying that the King of Han is wise and everything is decided by the King of Han, and we are not dissatisfied, they can't even come up with a big idea. Apart from asking for money, he only has so little ability to support this group of people.
Facing these people, he felt powerless in his heart, but this was only one of the reasons why he was so angry today. The reason why he was so angry today was that, in order to change the unfavorable situation, he kept the martial arts masters under his control and sent a large number of them to the capital, thinking of draining the firepower. In his opinion, the root of everything lies with the emperor. As long as he is killed, the court will be in chaos.
When the time comes, he still has a chance to make a comeback. But the news came from the capital that the so-called masters he sent not only failed to kill the dog emperor. On the contrary, the heads of those experts sent out were almost full of the south gate of the capital. He was completely defeated on both the public and private battlefields. How could this make him not extremely angry?
But no matter how angry or scolded he was, the group of civil servants and generals below remained silent. It’s not that they don’t want to give advice to the Lord. At this point, everyone is just a grasshopper on a rope. This leader has fallen, and now they are all officials in the rebel army. I am afraid even a fool knows what their fate will be. But facing the current predicament, they are helpless.
No one expected that the King of Han, who seemed so powerful at first and had created a large number of internal collaborators through bribery, assassination, and other means in Jiangnan, would collapse so quickly. The internal agents he bribed had little effect except for attacking Jiangnan West Road and Huguang South Road in the early stage. Who would have thought that the young emperor today is so capable.
They just mobilized a few young military attachés and placed King Yong in Jiangning Mansion for a few months. So the master's painstaking arrangements for more than ten years were turned into a mess. As for the young military attachés he used, in just a few rounds, an army of more than 200,000 people was completely eliminated. Who would have thought of a first-grade military attache who had just served as the commander of Hulao Pass before being promoted to Deputy Envoy of Jiedu.
He dared to directly kill a Jiedushi envoy who had spent an unknown amount of money to bribe him. Putting a Yongwang in Jiangning Mansion, none of the internal agents on Jiangnan East Road dared to act rashly. Now that they have reached this situation, they have been beaten to the doorstep by the army and the army, and they are helpless. Those are the Four Battalions, elites known throughout the world. Can they still hold on to Guangnan West Road?
And looking at these officials, no matter how angry they were, except for the wise king of Han, they remained silent. King Han, who knew that no matter how much he continued to ask, would get no answer, he could only wave with a headache and signal that they could get out now. After the officials left, he slumped down in the armchair that had been left behind by the third generation Guilin king, his face ashen and silent.
Lu Wentao, who stayed behind, looked at the livid-faced King of Han. He gritted his teeth and said to the Lord: "Your Majesty, I have some ideas. If you think it's possible, you can give it a try. Your Majesty, in the various barbarians on Guangnan West Road, each tribe has its own certain number of clan soldiers. Your Majesty, please We can inform the tribes and ask them to send troops. It will not be a problem to raise at least 50,000 troops."
"Although these people are not strong in combat power, they cannot compete with the imperial army. But the prince can take advantage of these tribal soldiers, who are familiar with the terrain and climate of Guangnan West Road, and are good at fighting in the mountains and forests. To entangle the imperial court The large army is consuming the vitality of the officers and soldiers bit by bit. At the same time, the prince also wants to clear the entire territory of Guangnan West Road to prevent the officers and soldiers from raising a grain of food."
"There is no food, and we are being harassed by tribal troops all the way. Coupled with the hot climate and the miasma prevalent in Guangnan West Road, no matter how powerful the officers and soldiers are, I don't believe they can carry out the attack? Your Majesty, Guangnan West Road is not On Jiangnan West Road, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to rely on the imperial court to transport all their food. I am afraid that most of the food must be raised locally. Just cut off their food route? "
Having said this, Lu Wentao pondered for a while and said: "If the prince is still a little worried, I think the prince can ask the Shanchanhou Mansion to send troops. The Shanchanhou Mansion has 30,000 troops and horses, and its combat power is pretty good. That Shanchanhou Mansion is right Central Guizhou Road, as well as Guangnan West Road and several mansions adjacent to Dali Kingdom, have always been watched. The prince can use these places to mobilize Shan Chan to send troops to help. "
"As long as the prince can be saved, those territories are just temporarily stored with him. When the prince's vitality recovers, when will he get it back? Isn't it just a word from the prince? At that time, as long as the prince wants to, the entire Dali Kingdom will be the prince. Is it what you have in your pocket? Your Majesty, take a step back and the sky is brighter. That Shanchanhou has taken so many benefits from the Prince, so he has to pay for it."
After Lu Wentao said these words, the King of Han did not answer him immediately, but fell into deep thought. But apart from his idea, King Han couldn't think of any other way at the moment. Although he hesitated, he finally nodded: "You immediately draft a document and ask the barbarian tribes to send troops. Tell them to surrender to me. Mobilize with all your strength and send as many troops as you can to this king."
"If anyone is afraid of the imperial court's retaliation and only sends a few troops and horses to fool me, or refuses to send troops, then he should first consider whether he can withstand the thunderous wrath of my king. Also, order all the state capitals to immediately clear the wall. And tell the villagers that if anyone dares to provide food and grass to the officers and soldiers, I will kill their nine tribes. If any tribe dares to provide food to the officers and soldiers, I will make them leave their dogs and chickens alone."
"After doing these things, you will go to Shanchan Mansion in Dali on my behalf. Tell Shanchan that Gu and he are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If Gu falls, how can he go alone? Go? Don’t look at him Shan Chanhou, he is a man of great reputation in Dali Kingdom. But for the Qi Dynasty, his power is just a drop in the bucket. If he falls alone, can he withstand the imperial court’s revenge? "
In response to King Han's instructions, Lu Wentao nodded, indicating that he would definitely comply with them. He said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, I actually have another suggestion. Your Majesty, have you ever considered changing your position? Nowadays, the morale of the army and the civil and military officials is a bit low. If Your Majesty can ascend the throne as emperor at this time, he will definitely It will greatly boost the morale of officials and troops, and will also be more of a deterrent to various tribes.”
After hearing Lu Wentao's words of persuasion, the King of Han hesitated. Indeed, ascending the throne as emperor has always been his pursuit. He rebelled just for this day. But under this current situation, he must consider the possible negative impacts of his ascension to the throne as emperor, especially the impact on military morale and officials. After all, accumulating food and becoming emperor slowly is his established strategy.
When I saw the Lord in front of me and heard my words of advice, although I was a little moved, I was still a little hesitant. Lu Wentao continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, the current situation is a bit difficult, which is a good time for you to take up your position. You are a direct descendant of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. When it comes to orthodoxy in this world, no one can surpass you. Only However, it was because of the losses of the emperors of the Later Han Dynasty that the imperial career fell."
"Today, only if you, the descendant of the Han Emperor, are in the official position and firmly occupy the orthodox position, can you attract the world's elites to work for you. In the general trend of the world, whoever occupies the orthodox position can have the upper hand in the hearts of the people. If You are just called the King of Han, but after all, you have lost the nickname in the dispute over orthodoxy. Only if you comply with the will of God and become the king, can the people of the puppet dynasty be yours."
"Your Majesty, the pseudo-Qi emperors have been extremely mediocre since the Xuanzong Dynasty. All clans and clans are a prey to the common people. No matter how capable the current pseudo-emperor is, he has lost all the support of the people and cannot be defeated in a short period of time. Pack it up again. But when the founding of the country, the achievements of the king were all over the world, and everyone in the world admired him. Even now, more than a hundred years have passed, but the people of the world still miss him."
"And the reason why the founding king passed away is known to the whole world. There are so many people in the world who are aggrieved by the late king. As a descendant of the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and with the love of the founding king, His Majesty, if he is the rightful ruler, , he will occupy the orthodox position innately. When the time comes, why worry about the people in the world not being loyal to Your Majesty? Those ministers who follow the dragon will naturally do their best to assist Your Majesty."
