Four hundred and seventieth chapters King Xiang's reluctance
With a plop, Liu Xiangxiang didn't have the slightest air of Princess Jin, and she fell to the ground. As the master said, Prince Jin really left with Luo Tong. I'm afraid that Luo Tong also has problems, he may Instead of attacking Daliang City, he surrendered to Emperor Daqian. In this case, the big thing would be over.
"Okay, pack up and get ready to leave. Sister Xiangxiang, I would like to trouble you to gather all the money in the military camp in your capacity. We will leave here before dawn." With a sigh, the former Princess Di said A decision was made.
Although this military operation failed, the one who died was not one of her own, so she had no regrets. Through this incident, the former Princess Di also saw one thing clearly, that is, to find a partner Then she needs to find a reliable person. Fortunately, she has set a target during this period, and that is Tang Qinghe, the royal family member in Daliang City.
News from Daliang City proves that although they are both of the Tang family, Zongzheng and Emperor Qianwen cannot pee in the same pot. The former has always been eager to have more power in his hands, and has even been spying on the throne. In this way Aren't ambitious and influential people the targets we should unite with?
Even if King Jin is unreliable, he will think of another way. By taking advantage of King Jin's absence and others not knowing about this matter, he can get all the money of the military camp in his hands, so that he can better implement the next operation. Already.
"Nuo, please don't worry, Master, Xiangxiang will take care of it right away." Liu Xiangxiang quickly came to her senses and knew that this time she had ruined things because of her carelessness. Especially when she let Luo Tong go, she actually did it beforehand. There was no report, although she was worried that the former Princess Di would disagree, so she came up with the idea of killing it first and then reporting it to make it a reality. But since it was proven that what she did was wrong, she must perform well next, otherwise , if the master takes this opportunity to deal with her, she really has no ability to resist at all.
Liu Xiangxiang, who wanted to perform well, turned around and left the tent. She wanted to take all the wealth in the Jin army camp with her to make up for her fault. Just after she turned around and left, Lu Kui stood up in the darkness. , like a poisonous snake, revealing his dark eyes, "Master, Liu Xiangxiang has ruined our important affairs, do you want to kill her right now?"
"No, she is still useful." The former Princess Di waved her hand, with an invisible smile on her face. But just such a chuckle, falling in Lu Kui's ears, made him feel... It feels like the hairs on your hair are standing on end.
...
The sky finally brightened.
The Jin army under the city did whatever they were supposed to do in the morning, and no one noticed. It was just one night, and both the King and Princess Jin in the military camp had already left the camp.
It wasn't until the thundering of the war drums on Dingzhou City attracted everyone's attention, and when the gate of the city was opened, all the Jin soldiers saw an astonishing scene. That was that the King of Jin, who was supposed to stay well in the camp, was nowhere to be found. Shi actually walked out of Dingzhou City.
This was the first time since the beginning of the war that the gates of Dingzhou City were actively opened. And what came out was not the Ganjun who wanted to fight them, but the King of Jin.
The King of Jin led the team away first, and behind him were tens of thousands of soldiers, including soldiers in golden armor, soldiers in silver armor, ordinary soldiers wearing cloth armor, and two hundred chariots. It was a mighty and majestic team. When they were placed in front of the city gate, many of the 70,000 Jin troops who were also gathered had frightened faces.
Daqian's chariots were driven by horses. The wooden wheels on both sides of the horses were inlaid with sharp knives up to four meters long. It can be imagined that once the chariot rushed into the Jin army, with its speed, What kind of lethality can it bring.
Previously they had been defending the city, but these chariots had not been put to use. Now, in order to achieve the purpose of frightening the Jin army, they were finally sent out.
Facing the mighty and neat army, many Jin soldiers' expressions changed greatly. All this fell into the eyes of Jin King Li Sheng, which gave him a little more confidence.
"Soldiers, I believe you all know me. There will be many people wondering why I came out of Dingzhou City, right? Well, I will tell you the answer now. This war was originally a war. Wrong, my brother, the former crown prince Li Long, was not killed by the emperor. The real person who killed him was the former great master Shen Tuwei. It was Princess Jin who collaborated with this person to attack my brother, and in turn framed him. His Majesty the Emperor..."
As the King of Jin shouted loudly, the truth emerged. Only then did all the Jin soldiers realize that they had all been used. Thinking of this battle, there were tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. He died on the battlefield, but he died in such a confused manner. Everyone was furious for a moment. Those who reacted quickly rushed into King Jin's tent, but it was a pity that there was no trace of Princess Jin at this moment. .
Not only that, someone soon said that at midnight yesterday, someone took Princess Jin's warrant and went to the granary, and took away all the money in the general. They also said that it was not safe to put it here. , it was necessary to find a new place to store it. Now it seems that it was just a matter of convenience when escaping.
Princess Jin left with her wealth and watched what King Jin said. As everyone was a victim, the feeling of antagonism between the Jin army and the Qian army was instantly reduced. Taking this opportunity, King Jin advised everyone to put down their weapons, and made a guarantee that the emperor would not kill them, but would only give some symbolic punishment. At that moment, one after another Jin soldiers, led by General Wang Can, put down their weapons and decided to The crisis in the city has since been lifted.
On the top of the city tower, Emperor Qianwen looked at all this with satisfaction. He breathed a long sigh of relief and clasped his hands together. Although Qian soldiers suffered some losses in this battle, they were able to regain Henan and Shaanxi states one after another. What do you think? It's all worth it. What's more important is that the several states that belong to him can finally be connected together, and their strength has invisibly increased several times. If others want to threaten themselves with the danger of a military front, the difficulty will also increase several times. His The position is more stable.
All the Jin troops chose to surrender, and the danger of the war was lifted. The news spread to Daliang City behind them like wind and cloud.
It was already a day after the news of the great victory ahead reached Daliang City. The entire Daliang City was plunged into a sea of joy because of this victory news.
"How is this possible?" After listening to Shi Zitong's report, Prince Xiang first widened his eyes, and then fell back to his chair with a plop.
Da Qian can win the battle, but he must do so with the help of King Qi. Now that the Qi army has arrived, the Jin army has been defeated before the Qi army appears. Doesn’t it mean that the agreement signed between the father and the King of Qi is not there? Does it make sense?
Thinking of this, he once again missed out on the title of crown prince and was knocked back to his original form. How could Prince Xiang accept it?
Especially when he thought that what he had done recently in closing Daqian Bank and Guochanglong had caused the impeachment of many courtiers, making him stand on the opposite side of many people invisibly, and he was about to fall into despair. Aren't those people going to add insult to injury?
"What should we do? What should we do?" King Xiang suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed Shi Zitong, asking anxiously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, now we should send back all the gold and silver we got from the bank, and don't let others get caught." Shi Zitong didn't have any better ideas at this moment, but he also knew that, You should wipe the bottom of your butt clean first, otherwise, I'm afraid this big deal will be enough to knock Prince Xiang off his feet.
Previously, King Xiang thought that the overall situation was settled. His father would not be able to defeat the Jin army without relying on King Qi, so his identity must be very reliable. Therefore, he became bolder and asked Shi Zitong to come from Daqian Bank. He moved a lot of gold and silver to his own warehouse, and even went to the Ministry of Accounts, where he moved 120,000 yuan back to the mansion. But now it seems that the situation may change at any time, and the money will have to be disbursed. Already.
"Looking at it, looking at it." When he thought about spitting out the white money he had taken into his mouth, Prince Xiang had a look of reluctance on his face and shook his head in shock, refusing to make up his mind. He also Holding a glimmer of hope, that is, the Qi King's army also arrived in Dingzhou City, and then forced his father to make him the prince, so that everything might get back on track.
Seeing that Prince Xiang was still so greedy at this time, Shi Zitong naturally didn't say anything, so he had to shake his head and retreat. He had a feeling that following such a master, he would be in bad luck sooner or later. Since ancient times, who can achieve great things but is greedy by nature?
Of course, neither King Xiang nor Shi Zitong knew that King Qi's army had indeed arrived near Dingzhou City, but after learning that King Jin had surrendered to Emperor Qianwen, the timid King Qi didn't even have the courage to show up. , he just sent people to congratulate him and then withdrew his troops.
Emperor Qianwen was well aware of King Qi's performance, so he directly explained to the envoys sent that the matter of establishing a crown prince in Dagan still needed to be considered in the long run. After all, Dagan now had two more states under direct control. There are too many things to be busy with, so don't be too anxious about the prince's affairs. I hope King Qi can understand.
Naturally, the envoy promised repeatedly and said that before coming, King Qi had said that he would fully respect the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor.
At this point, King Xiang's desire to become the crown prince disappeared. Not only that, through this incident, his ambition was also exposed and he became the target of public criticism.
The Jin army was defeated and the Qian army was victorious. The courtiers were naturally overjoyed, and how to welcome the victorious army became a major issue at the moment. After discussion between two servants and an internal minister, it was decided All civil and military officials went out of the city for twenty miles to greet him to express their support and congratulations to Emperor Qianwen.
