Chapter 561: Discussions in the Hou Mansion, changes in the battle situation
"They can't stop them!"
Three more days passed in a hurry, and at the Champion's Mansion, an old man looked a little sad as he looked at the information in his hand.
The feudal king's iron cavalry was divided into three groups. Dakang's troops and horses were not weak, but they were ultimately deficient in the navy.
After this period of fierce fighting, Nan'an was unstoppable all the way to Zhili, Hebei. Now there was no obstruction in front. For Dakang, it was already at the gates of the city.
There was a girl in a red dress in the room. When she heard this, she sighed softly.
"There's no movement at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing yet! It doesn't look like there's any urgency at all~~"
Hearing this, the old man clicked the cigarette at his mouth twice, and for a moment the smoke around him became filled with smoke. Then the old man narrowed his eyes and grinned.
"Haha~ If they don't move, that's their own little calculation, but the people above won't let them continue like this!"
Having said this, the old man seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
If they go against those two saints at this time, unless they intend to sway the emperor, they will definitely be liquidated. Do you really think that those two people who can sit on the dragon throne are weak persimmons??
Even Jia Qi, who has this strength, did not openly confront that person. What these people are doing now is undoubtedly dancing on the tip of a knife, and they are still the kind of people who do not know whether to live or die.
"Old Monster Xu, stop gloating. The emperor can't spare them. Do you think he can spare us??"
The girl in red's eyes are dark and meaningful.
Those in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing did not move, and neither did those in the Champion House. In some sense, they were the same.
When the old man heard this, he laughed.
"Miss, don't panic, don't panic!"
"Although our two families did not send troops, the reasons are different. Those people did not move not because the emperor did not give orders, but because they cleverly evaded the situation and even used the Marquis' incident as a threat to force the saint to nod."
"We are different. We don't move. It's not that we don't listen to the instructions. It's because the saint didn't issue an order. The purpose of keeping us is to check and balance those in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."
"There is a saying that goes well, don't let others snore on the side of the bed. There are a total of 200,000 people in the capital, and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing accounts for more than half. The remaining imperial guards, five governor's houses, etc., the imperial guard is very powerful.
But due to the insufficient number of people, I don’t need to say more about what the Five Gates Governor’s Mansion is, right?”
"With such a large group of disobedient people lying outside his door, do you think the emperor can sleep peacefully?"
“So it’s expedient to keep us here!!”
When the girl in red heard this, she did not refute. This was a fact. The fact that things had developed to this point also caught the Hou Mansion by surprise.
The West Route Army involved the forces of several towns in Jiubian. Both Dongping and Nan'an Routes also dispatched troops to block the attack, and most of them were close to the Hou Mansion.
At present, the only military force that the Hou Mansion has not mobilized is Liaodong. But according to the intelligence from Liaodong, there seems to be some movement on the Houyuan side, so Liaodong cannot move unless it is absolutely necessary.
Once there is movement in Beiyuan, a town in Liaodong will be the last line of defense.
"Old Xu! Right now we are both in peace, but as the war approaches, we may not be able to move even if we don't want to!"
A rare sense of exhaustion flashed deep in the eyes of the girl in red. She has been thinking about these things for a long time, which has made her a little anxious.
If it weren't for the two great counselors around her, she might have thrown this mess out long ago and asked them to fight first, and then she would lead her people to clean up the mess.
But after experiencing the pain of the war, she still couldn't let it go, but this burden was too heavy for her. She could look after a yard without any effort, but facing hundreds of thousands of people, she was still unable to bear it.
Already.
Those people on the other side were not fools either. They were guided by experts when marching and fighting. They made noises in the east and attacked in the west. They built plank roads openly and secretly. She was very tired when the whole thing came to this day. It was a kind of heart fatigue. It seemed that she was carrying a tree heavier than a mountain on her shoulders.
of carrying pole.
"Send out the Snow Dragon Riders?"
The old man touched his goatee, and a coldness flashed deep in his cloudy eyes.
The capital seemed peaceful, but in fact it was already in danger. For the emperor, the existence of the Snow Dragon Cavalry was far more significant than what it seemed on the surface.
At present, the power of the Hou Mansion and the Xungui lineage is becoming a fire and water, which is exactly what the emperor wants to see.
Besides, now that Jia Qi is not in the capital, the position of the Hou Mansion is a bit delicate. To put it bluntly, unless Emperor Mingkang is willing to hand over his fate to the hands of the noble lineage, he will never go out alone.
The Snow Dragon Cavalry meets the enemy.
And when that time comes, once the noble lineage takes risks, it will be a disaster for the royal family.
Of course, if the nest is overturned and the eggs are intact, they may not be able to have both ends at that time.
If a gentleman is not established, he will be under a dangerous wall.
No matter how stupid Emperor Mingkang was, he would not do such a stupid thing like hanging himself on the fire.
After hearing the old man's words, the woman in red didn't act as relaxed as she imagined.
The Prince of Nan'an rebelled all the way and has already reached the city. This matter must be resolved. According to her understanding, the battlefield where the two parties will fight will never be in the capital. The capital is the political and economic center of Dakang. Not only is the emperor here
, all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty are also here.
If the battlefield is chosen here, the royal family's face will be lost. What will they use to restrain the ministers and govern the country in the future?
She once heard Jia Qi say a truth: if you are faced with a dilemma and cannot choose, then the choice with the least consequences is the best choice.
But when things really came to that point, the emperor, who could not command the people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, would naturally issue an order to let them go to meet the enemy.
As for what would happen to those who were left behind, Emperor Mingkang could only resign himself to fate, because at that time he had no choice. If they rebelled, the imperial court and the five-door governor's office of the Royal Forest Army might be able to stop them for a while.
"Miss, how about we deal with those people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing first?"
Suddenly, the old man suggested.
Hearing this, the girl in red's eyelids jumped. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. This old guy really dared to say it!!
"You mean thunderballs?"
But after a while, the girl in red seemed to react. Although she was questioning, her tone was extremely affirmative. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has a strong individual combat ability, but it can kill hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time.
It's not realistic either.
The current situation is extremely urgent, and the old man's proposal is naturally not to let them fight hand-to-hand, so there are not many options left.
"Of course!"
The girl in red glanced at the old man and said, "Old monster Xu, you never thought that if we did this, the emperor would not tolerate us??"
The old man narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed, which made the girl feel a little scared in her heart.
"Then kill that person together and wait for the young master to come back and be honored as a great treasure!!"
