Hui Lu checked the map overnight, and after waiting for a while, Prince Nancheng came back with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Hui Lu sneered.
Prince Nancheng squinted at Hui Lu: "How does the Sixth Prince plan to arrange the war?"
Although the other party is a prince, his life experience is not inferior.
"I heard that there are new weapons in the Crown Prince's warehouse, can you let me see them?"
Hui Lu had heard a little bit about the cannonball, and had been looking for a chance to see if it was as powerful as the rumors.
"Sorry, this weapon was invented by Shen Bi alone. In order to prevent the technology from leaking, it is not open to the public." Prince Nancheng directly rejected the other party's request. Hui Lu was not angry and said calmly: "Then we will open the city tomorrow."
Let’s have a good fight with the soldiers at the south end.”
The prince of Nancheng was surprised: "You are crazy. Our strength is not as good as that of Nanduan. The current terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the city gate is defended, the soldiers of Nanduan will not be able to enter."
"As far as I know, the army is already running out of food and grass and can't sustain it for long. Moreover, the number of new weapons is limited. How long do you plan to hold on?" Hui Lu sneered, having already figured out what was going on in the city.
"A few days ago, there were 300 spies infiltrated into the Japanese army. You didn't notice it. Don't you think that these things in the city are secrets?"
The prince of Nancheng was speechless at the question.
"Listen to my order, open the city gate, and fight to the death with the Nanduan Army!" Hui Lu said.
Prince Nancheng shook his head, and Hui Lu asked again, "Is it possible that you want the other side to torture us to death?"
The two people had their own secrets and neither one wanted to tell the truth, so there was a disagreement between the two people.
Hui Lu said: "I was sent by my father. Do you want to disobey the emperor's order, or do you think that you can do whatever you want with only Concubine Dugu in the court supporting you?"
"Why should the Sixth Prince judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, let alone your empty words, how can I believe it?"
Now that his face was broken, Prince Nancheng simply stopped pretending and showed his cards right away: "I only have 120,000 troops in hand. If we open the city gate, there will be losses unless we each contribute half of the troops."
He had 120,000 compared to Huilu's 50,000, so he was very confident.
Hui Lu took a deep breath, thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. How about a sneak attack on the opponent's camp tonight?"
"You are crazy. No one is prepared at all."
"It's really because I wasn't prepared that I had to be surprised." Hui Lu suggested.
Prince Nancheng's face was tense: "The Sixth Prince wants to make a fool of himself, so I'm sorry to obey. It's getting late, so the Sixth Prince should go to bed early."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, several guards drew their swords on him. Hui Lu walked over slowly: "Tonight, open the city gate. Your Majesty must order one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to leave the city. I will use all the fifty thousand elite soldiers without leaving them."
superior."
These 50,000 elite soldiers are just a hot potato in Hui Lu's hands. If they can't get enough of them, they are still a huge danger.
So he must take the opportunity to send out 50,000 elite soldiers.
While the two were arguing, a signal flare suddenly appeared above the military camp and exploded in the sky with a whooshing sound.
Hui Lu's face changed slightly when he saw this: "Something happened."
At this time, there was a dull knocking sound and a roar at the city gate. Huilu and Prince Nancheng looked at each other, quickly went out and stood on the city wall. Unknowingly, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had gathered outside the city wall.
horse.
When the soldiers came to the city, they all held torches, almost lighting up the outside of the city like daylight.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, there's a rebellion in the city!" The guard hurriedly came to report.
Hui Lu looked back towards the direction of the city, and his heart sank. The fifty thousand elite soldiers all changed into the uniforms of the southern soldiers and began to fight.
At the gate of the city, there were people carrying huge logs and rushing against the heavy gate, while there were people inside the city who were responsible for opening the door.
"Who are you!" Prince Nancheng was the first to react and glared at Hui Lu. He brought these 50,000 elite soldiers.
Hui Lu closed his lips and said secretly that Emperor Mingwen was not loyal.
"You have taken refuge in Nanduan?" Prince Nancheng took two steps back and gave an order to kill Hui Lu.
Hui Lu sneered: "Now is the time when we are united to the outside world, and you still want to start an internal strife with me. Please open your eyes and look downstairs!"
Downstairs of the city gate, Emperor Mingwen was sitting on horseback, wearing white black armor, holding a long sword in one hand and holding the reins tightly in the other, with a leisurely look on his face, and he came towards this side unhurriedly.
This was their fourth meeting. Prince Nancheng admitted that the other party was very powerful. Among the four countries, the military value of the southern end was weak. The initial plan of the other three countries was to eat the southern end together.
As a result, the southern end is now fighting against the Three Kingdoms!
After defeating Yunlan and moving the tiger away from Shanxihai, we now attack Dongling. Looking at this posture, Dongling is completely gone and has no power to counterattack.
With a loud bang, the city gate broke open, and countless soldiers from the south rushed in.
Shen Bi trotted all the way and stood on the city wall watching this scene. The fire was blazing outside. She was awakened. She heard the roar and ran forward. She saw the scene she least wanted to see.
"How...how could this happen?"
She couldn't believe what she saw. Dongling was clearly the winner, so why was the southern end breaching the city gate?
Bang! Bang!
The soldiers on the city wall fell down one after another, unable to resist at all. Even the guards beside Prince Nancheng swayed and fell limply to the ground. After a while, the guards began to have small red rashes all over their bodies.
A densely packed piece.
"Damn it, this is poisoning!" Hui Lu said, there was Chu Yunning in the southern military camp who was good at making poisons.
For Chu Yunning, these are simply trivial tricks.
Hui Lu gritted his teeth and was furious. He had been deceived by his superiors again. The two of them had agreed to lend 50,000 elite soldiers to help him seize the throne.
As a result, Emperor Mingwen rebelled privately, and everyone inside and outside the city came together to cooperate, and even the time of his arrival was clearly calculated.
"It's Chu Yunning!" Shen Bi was extremely unwilling. She stood on the high city wall and looked out. Her fingertips dug into her palms. Pain hit her, which made her whole mind sober. She was helpless and angry.
Well up in my heart.
"Our enemy has always been not the soldiers at the southern end, but Chu Yunning. With Chu Yunning at the southern end, we will never be able to defeat him," Hui Lu said.
Even if Shen Bi didn't want to admit this, she had to admit that Chu Yunning was indeed very powerful.
"The city gate has been breached, what is the prince's plan?" Hui Lu sighed in his heart, he was taken advantage of in vain, and this account must be settled.
Prince Nancheng glanced sideways at Hui Lu and sneered: "You don't still expect me to take you away, do you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Prince of Nancheng rushed downstairs with a sword in hand. Shen Bi called his name from behind and watched helplessly as the Prince of Nancheng merged into the fight.
Shen Bi looked a little disgusted at the blood and wreckage all over the ground. She gritted her teeth and held back, and ordered the guards on the tower: "Where is the bullet cart?"
"The bullet cart has long been destroyed by the soldiers at the southern end of the city."
"A bunch of trash!"
The night was very long, with countless fighting and surrenders. Finally, just before dawn, the south end completely recaptured the city.
"Your Majesty, this battle was so exciting." Lieutenant General Li was covered in blood, his armor was in tatters, and his body was injured to varying degrees, but his face looked like he was still unsatisfied.
"That is, I have been bullied by Dongling for so long, and I can finally take revenge."
Several lieutenants were excited. This campaign had the fewest casualties in history. Almost all of Dongling's 120,000 troops were defeated without a fight and had no ability to fight back.
Emperor Mingwen said: "Go down and don't allow anyone to plunder the village, including the elderly, women and children. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
The sun rose as usual, and several lieutenants led their men to clean up the mess, count the number of people, and collect weapons.
He also captured the other party's Nancheng Prince and Hui Lu alive.
Hui Lu met Emperor Mingwen: "It turns out that the emperor is also a person who goes back on his word. He agreed to help me ascend the throne as emperor, why did he go back on his word?"
Emperor Mingwen sat in a high position, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, with unconcealed hatred in his ruthless eyes, but Eunuch Mo beside him couldn't help but speak: "The Sixth Prince secretly led his troops
The horse deliberately lost contact, and took the soldiers and horses to the foot of the capital on the way, intending to rebel. Have you ever paid attention to the soldiers at the southern end?"
Isn't it obvious that you want to send people to die?
What a good calculation.
Hui Lu got very angry when he mentioned this. If the 50,000 soldiers and horses could be under his full command, he would have led the troops into the city and directly ascended to the throne.
"The soldiers are lent to you for self-protection, not for you to use to charge into battle. I gave you 50,000 soldiers. How much did you lose?"
Emperor Mingwen's tone showed an impatient look, and he knocked on the table fiercely: "Now the merits and demerits are equal, I can canonize you as the city defender king."
Hui Lu had been dealing with the royal family all his life, and he thought he could deceive a group of people. When he arrived at the southern end, Hui Lu was repeatedly frustrated.
"Humph! He's just a lackey and traitor!" The prince of Nancheng was tied up with his hands behind his back. His armor had long since fallen off, his hair was messy, and he no longer looked as gentle as before.
"If it weren't for Miss Chu, I might not be inferior to you today." Prince Nancheng was convinced of Chu Yunning, but he was totally unconvinced by Emperor Mingwen.
"Hey, he is deliberately provoking!" Eunuch Mo was furious and turned to Emperor Mingwen and said, "Your Majesty, please don't believe what the Crown Prince says. He is deliberately provoking you."
"It doesn't matter, what he said is the truth." Emperor Mingwen didn't care at all. There was a hint of pride in his tone. He raised his eyebrows. He hadn't seen Chu Yunning and Beibei for more than ten days, and he still missed them a little.
The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in two days, and Chinese New Year is all about reunions. Emperor Mingwen planned to finish the matter and go back as soon as possible.
"What the prince said is true. Chu Shanggong is indeed my right and left arm. Without her, I may not be where I am today. Maybe I don't know whether she is still alive or not."
Emperor Mingwen never thought about doing something because he was jealous of Chu Yunning's talent, he simply appreciated it.
The Prince of Nancheng saw the openness between his brows, and the reluctance in his heart gradually relieved.
"Take them all and imprison them. No one is allowed to visit. I will deal with them later."
Emperor Mingwen did not immediately kill Prince Nancheng, but imprisoned him.
Prince Nancheng could not understand Emperor Mingwen more and more now. He seemed not to care about anything.
"Your Majesty, there is still one Shen Bi left." After Lieutenant General Li counted the number of people, he searched for a long time but found no sign of Shen Bi.
Emperor Mingwen squinted at the Crown Prince of Nancheng: "Isn't it good to be the Crown Prince of the City Guarding Palace? The Prince of Nancheng has a great reputation and great military exploits throughout his life. He is a hero in the hearts of many people. Why do you have to worry about that."
The Crown Prince of Nancheng clenched his fists tightly when he mentioned it, and for the first time, he felt the urge to hate Shen Bi in his heart.
If it weren't for her...
On the other hand, Prince Nancheng hopes that Shen Bi can run away, as far away as possible.
"She was once my concubine, with the title Yuan Guifei. She made a mistake in the palace and was saved by the palace prime minister. Then she faked her death and left. When she left, she took away countless gold and silver treasures." Emperor Mingwen said seriously.
Eunuch Mo nodded: "I remember this. When the Gong family was raided, Shen Bi never came back. Even Mrs. Gong's letter of request was rejected."
"Did Shen Bi say that you are the true son of destiny and destined to be the emperor?"
Emperor Mingwen's words directly touched the heart of the Prince of Nancheng. He was shocked. Then Eunuch Mo took out a painting notebook from his arms and threw it to the Prince of Nancheng: "This is just a book of words from the teahouse in the south."
Prince Nancheng was a little overwhelmed and couldn't believe his ears.
"She actually lied to me!" Prince Nancheng was furious. Seeing this, Hui Lu said calmly: "If she hadn't been seducing Prince Yunlan in private, Prince Yunlan wouldn't be so interested in her, which would lead to failure.
, and was eventually deposed.”
Emperor Mingwen glanced at Hui Lu lightly, he was quite clever.
"Poof!" Prince Nancheng vomited blood and fainted in anger.
"Take it down!"
As for Hui Lu, Emperor Mingwen said: "If you stay in the city, I will protect you from death. If you dare to leave even half a step, your death will be the day I catch you!"
Hui Lu felt cold all over. After being taken down, the room became quiet. Emperor Mingwen raised his hand and ordered several lieutenants: "Take care of everyone, I still have uses. In addition, deal with it as soon as possible. Tomorrow afternoon
Go back to the border town!"
When the news of the triumph reached the border town, everyone was very excited. Beibei still didn't understand what it meant. Chu Yunning said: "When the emperor comes back, maybe we can start back to Beijing."
Beibei nodded, and suddenly sighed: "I miss the imperial grandmother so much."
Chu Yunning stretched out her hand and tapped Beibei's nose, then lowered her head and concentrated on sewing clothes, shoes and socks.
She has had several sets in the past few days, doing it in the winter and in the summer, for fear that it would not be enough.
"Why hasn't the white-bearded grandpa come here these days?" Beibei pouted, he hadn't seen him for several days.
He must have been too lazy to take a nap again.
Chu Yunning smiled: "This is not a matter of urgency. You must be polite next time you see the old man with the white beard, okay?"
"Okay!" Beibei nodded obediently, but suddenly the conversation changed and he asked again: "Mother, when will you be with Uncle Huang? Uncle Huang is considerate and caring, and he is good-looking. Beibei likes him very much.
