【Brain Storage】
Daqian Dynasty, Beiyan, Zhenbei Palace.
Yang Xun stood quietly on the stone steps at the entrance of the palace, looking at the soldier in front of him who was covered in blood and had burped due to excessive injuries, with a look of despair on his face.
He has traveled through time!
Traveling from the 21st century to a dynasty that has never been recorded in history books.
After digesting the memory of the original owner, Yang Xun basically had a general understanding of this dynasty and his own identity.
Fortunately, Yang Xun traveled through time and became the only son of Yang Huai, the Northern King of Daqian Town. The entire eight counties and one hundred and eight counties of Beiyan were his father's territory.
Yang Xun, who is protected by his father, can be said to be pampered and well-fed. He has never known what trouble is since he was born. He only has endless happiness. For the rest of his life, he is destined to be prosperous and wealthy, with no worries about food and clothing.
But unfortunately, just three days ago, Zhenbei King Yang Huai was defeated and killed by the Dog Emperor in the battle to quell the rebellion. Also martyred with him were Beiyan's 100,000 elite cavalry!
Why is it said that the dog emperor was responsible? This matter has to start from three years ago.
The old emperor died three years ago, and the thirteen-year-old prince Li Qian ascended the throne.
In the past three years, the imperial court has carried out extensive construction projects and imposed excessive levies and taxes, which has made the people of the world miserable. The common people have turned into bandits and rebelled against the king!
Half a year ago, King Pingnan, who was stationed in southern Xinjiang, colluded with the southern barbarians and launched an attack on Daqian with an army of 500,000!
The imperial court immediately mobilized a total of 400,000 defenders from all over the country to put down the rebellion, and ordered Zhenbei King Yang Huai to lead 100,000 Northern Yan cavalry south to help.
Originally the two sides had roughly the same strength, and the imperial court had 100,000 cavalry to support them, so they would definitely have the upper hand against the infantry from the south.
But the young emperor Li Qian was young and full of energy, so he wanted to go on a personal expedition.
Li Qian ignored the generals' dissuasion and personally led an army of 100,000 cavalry to go deep into the army, hoping to capture King Pingnan alive.
Although Yang Huai was dissatisfied, he could not disobey the emperor's order. In addition, the old emperor saved Yang Huai's life, and Li Qian was the old emperor's only son and loved his house as much as he loved his family. This forced Yang Huai to do as Li Qian ordered.
But the result was that one hundred thousand Northern Yan cavalry escorted the young emperor into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, and was surrounded by rebels.
There are many mountains and forests in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, and the Beiyan cavalry, which was invincible in the north, could not exert its advantage at all. In the end, the entire army was wiped out, Yang Huai died in battle, and the young emperor Li Qian was also captured alive by King Pingnan.
When the surviving soldiers brought the news back with a sigh of relief, the original owner died of anger on the spot, which caused Yang Xun to travel through time.
Yang Xun sighed helplessly. He was a cheap dad who was good at everything, but was too loyal.
Li Qian's capture was entirely his own fault, but it was a pity for the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers of Beiyan!
Now that Yang Huai is dead in battle, Beiyan will definitely be in turmoil. As the prince of Zhenbei, he must find a way to stabilize the situation!
It's a pity that the original owner has never been learned or skilled. He can be said to be incompetent in literature and martial arts, and his reputation in Beiyan is not very good. It is not easy to stabilize the situation!
Just as he was thinking about it, a general in silver armor walked over quickly, half-knelt down in front of Yang Xun, cupped his fists and said, "I'm reporting to you, Prince Pingbei, General Zhao Zhengxiong has led an army of 30,000 people to our Beiyan City!"
Zhao Zhengxiong?
Yang Xun frowned, he didn't know much about Zhao Zhengxiong.
I only know that this person was picked up by my cheap father from outside the pass in the early years. Over the years, I followed the Beiyan cavalry in the north and south, and made great military exploits. He was named General Pingbei and was responsible for garrisoning Tianmen Pass, the gateway to Beiyan. The Huns in the North.
What is the purpose of secretly sending troops to Beiyan City at this time?
"Let's go and have a look with my prince!" Yang Xun said, got on his horse and headed towards the city gate.
At the same time, all the soldiers responsible for garrisoning Beiyan City have climbed onto the city wall and are ready for battle at any time.
Liu Zheng, the governor of Northern Yan, has also arrived, and with him are officials of all sizes from Northern Yan.
Looking at Zhao Zhengxiong in armor and the 30,000 fully armed troops outside the city, Liu Zheng couldn't help but frown.
"Zhao Zhengxiong, if you don't defend the Huns at Tianmen Pass, why did you send troops here privately?"
Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Zhao Zhengxiong led his horse forward, bowed his hands to Liu Zheng, and said with a smile: "Master Governor, I am afraid that there are thieves who are worried about the prince in your absence, so I specially brought troops here to suppress Xiaoxiao. Please ask the governor to open the city gate and let the army enter the city."
"Fart! Even if the prince is not here, there are still princes and officials like us in Beiyan City. Your mission is to garrison Tianmen Pass, why don't you retreat quickly?" Liu Zheng scolded.
Not to mention that the prince Yang Xun is still in charge of Beiyan City. Even if the prince is useless, he, the governor of Beiyan, is not a decoration. Who is Zhao Zhengxiong? Does a small Pingbei general also want to take over Beiyan City?
After being scolded by Liu Zheng, Zhao Zhengxiong was neither angry nor annoyed. He just smiled and said, "Master Liu, you don't know yet. The prince was defeated and died in southern Xinjiang. Beiyan cannot be left without a master for a day. Please hurry up, Master Liu." Open the city gate quickly, otherwise don’t blame Zhengxiong for not respecting our past friendship!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The officials on the tower all stared wide-eyed. The prince was defeated. How could this be possible?
The prince is invincible, how could he be defeated and die?
Could it be that boy Zhao Zhengxiong who was so careless?
Even Liu Zheng was stunned. He did not know the news yet, but Zhao Zhengxiong dared to attack Beiyan City, which meant that the prince was probably really gone!
Otherwise, even if the prince is far away in southern Xinjiang, he, Zhao Zhengxiong, would not dare to make a mistake!
Liu Zheng couldn't help but swallowed. Did he speak too loudly to Zhao Zhengxiong just now?
"The prince is gone, what should we do?"
"That's one hundred thousand cavalry. Isn't it the end of us Beiyan?"
"I don't know if Beiyan will be finished. I'm afraid Beiyan City will change hands!"
Everyone around was talking a lot, and even the soldiers began to whisper among themselves. For a moment, the Beiyan City Army was distracted, and some quick-thinking people were already thinking about how to find excuses to open the city gate.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel chills running down his back as he looked at the scene around him. This was not a good sign!
Most of the soldiers in Beiyan City followed the prince on the expedition, and there were only three thousand defenders left. If Zhao Zhengxiong attacked the city, it would be impossible to defend it.
Asking for help?
But except for the 100,000 troops who followed the prince on the expedition, most of Beiyan's troops were concentrated at the border. At this time, it was too late to ask for help.
As for the imperial court, the prince was defeated and the imperial court must have too much to take care of itself. How could it care about Beiyan's affairs?
surrender?
Less likely! Once he surrenders, he will stick his head out and chop it off with Zhao Zhengxiong!
Liu Zheng knew very well that as long as Zhao Zhengxiong entered the city, the first one he would kill would be Yang Xun, and the second one would definitely be him, Liu Zheng!
After all, as the governor of Beiyan, he was the most powerful person after the prince, and Zhao Zhengxiong would never tolerate his existence.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Zheng never thought of asking Yang Xun to come forward. After all, Yang Xun was a well-known waste. Although he was the prince, he usually relied on his father's reputation to pretend to be powerful. Now that his father is gone, he has nothing to lose. No, he might be drinking in some brothel at this time!
It seems that you can only rely on yourself!
We have to stabilize Zhao Zhengxiong first!
"From General Zhao's tone, is he trying to seize power?"
Just when Liu Zheng was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
Liu Zheng turned around and saw that Yang Xun had already climbed onto the tower and was looking coldly at Zhao Zhengxiong outside the city.
