Chapter 100: The Little Eunuch Commands Phoenix City
King Fu led 160,000 soldiers and horses, known as 610,000, and headed straight for Qilin Pass.
Dalingwen, the chief soldier guarding the city at Qilin Pass, was also a fierce general. He was nine feet tall, with a head as big as a bucket. He was full of brute strength and had the courage of ten thousand men. Hearing the rebellion of the eight kings, he came towards Qilin Pass. Dalingwen gritted his steel teeth.
Broken, Qi Tongtuo hurriedly gathered people and horses. There were less than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, but there were 30,000 people who were paid.
The magistrate Feudal Kingdom wrote a letter to appeal to the court, and at the same time led a group of people in the government to bring wine, meat, melons and fruits to the labor force in the city. He promised that if the city could be defended for seven days, reinforcements from nearby prefectures and counties would come. At that time, he would report to Wang Cheng to get along with him.
There will be a big reward
The commander-in-chief, Daling, clapped his breasts loudly and said: "Sir, if you raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while, let alone seven days, it can be defended even in the seventh year of July. Forgive the rebels and thieves, they are all a bunch of gangsters."
"Come on, this little insignificant young general has been serving as the commander-in-chief for five years and has not made any achievements. The day has come for me to make my mark."
The prefect was overjoyed and commended: "The general is worthy of being a pillar of talent, and he will be blessed with great fortune in the future."
While he was talking, King Fu's army had arrived, formed a formation, and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city to rush forward and die. If there was anything wrong, they would massacre the city for three days after attacking it
Dalingwen was furious, selected five thousand infantry, opened the city gate, and went out to meet the enemy.
Prince Fu looked at the pitiful group of men and laughed and said: "General, you guys are not enough to fill our teeth. If you surrender, I will also make you a general."
Dalingwen was furious, raised a mace in his hand, urged the black-coned horse under his crotch, and shouted sharply:
"Although I am a small number, I am Master Wang. Although you are a large number, you are rebels. Since ancient times, evil has never been suppressed. Am I not afraid of you? There are some who are not afraid of death. Come up and let me have the addiction of killing people.
!”
King Fu looked around and asked: "Who will kill this guy for me? I will reward you with five thousand taels of silver."
Hai Junming, the general of Tongtian, responded: "I am willing to go!"
King Fu was overjoyed and said: "General, be careful, that guy is very powerful. Don't deal with him. If it doesn't work, come back quickly."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be fine. I'll be back as soon as I go!" Hai Junming's horse is fast and he will arrive in a moment.
"Here comes the one who is going to die!" Dalingwen raised his stick and started to beat him.
Hai Junming didn't know the details. He just raised the big gun and heard a "click" sound. The gun barrel was broken into two parts and the head was divided into eight parts. Hai Junming's brains were splattered. The horse came back, but his body was still sitting firmly on the horse.
on the back
King Fu was horrified, and while he was hesitating, a horse suddenly rushed forward and shouted:
"General who enters the ground, be careful!"
Before King Fu finished his words, half of the horse's head of the general Zhu Zongxin had been chopped off. Zhu Zongxin fell from the horse, and Dalingwen struck another blow with the club, killing him.
In an instant, two generals were killed. King Fu stroked his sparse beard, thinking of retreating.
Suddenly two generals rushed out of the formation, one was General Tengyun Gai Tianbao, and the other was General Jiawu Gai Dibao. The two brothers rushed out together and fought against Dalingwen.
Before ten rounds were over, Gai Tianbao turned into a human flesh bag and fell from his horse. Gai Tianbao wanted to avenge his brother and fought with all his strength. However, his skills were not as good as others. He also followed his brother to Fu**. About to announce the withdrawal of troops, suddenly a female general
Rushing out of the formation, the bell shouted:
"Prince Fu, wait a moment. It won't be too late for me to take down this guy before withdrawing my troops."
Dalingwen saw that Dalingwen was a woman, so he didn't take it to heart. After praying together, the female general was so timid that she turned around and walked away. Dalingwen refused to let him go. He chased after him on horseback. Suddenly, the female general threw an object. Dalingwen couldn't dodge and was hit in the head.
It turned out that it was a rope, and the female general tied one end of the rope to the saddle bridge of the rear horse. No matter how strong a person is, he is still not as strong as the horse. Dalingwen was dragged off the horse. More than a dozen soldiers came up and pinned Dalingwen down.
On the ground, tied tightly
Seeing this, King Fu waved his hand, and hundreds of thousands of troops came out, and the 5,000 soldiers brought by Dalingwen were chopped like melons and vegetables. In a short time, they were all killed. King Fu waved his army into the city. The prefect feudal country was getting hot.
Wine, just wait for Dalingwen to arrive before warming the wine and beheading Hua Xiongli. Prince Hua Xiongli’s soldiers arrived and cut the prefect into two pieces.
King Fu entered the city victoriously and was about to order a massacre. Hua Shixiong stopped him and said:
"My lord, you must not do it! The first battle to massacre the city will make it difficult to fight in the subsequent battles. Either way, the defenders will fight to the death, which will invisibly increase the difficulty of our siege."
When King Fu heard what was right, he hurriedly passed on the order. Anyone who killed innocent people would be killed without mercy and released to calm the people. He opened the treasury to distribute money and food, relieve the poor, and sent soldiers to maintain social order. These were Hua Shixiong's ideas.
Win people's hearts and achieve results, and your reputation will be great for a while
Dalingwen was escorted to the palace, and King Fu came down, personally untied him, and comforted him:
"The general is so skillful. He killed four of my generals in a row."
Dalingwen was so frightened that he looked at King Fu with his bull's-eye eyes. King Fu comforted him and said:
"General, don't be afraid. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will make you a mighty general regardless of the debt. You are nothing like a little general."
At this point, Dalingwen kowtowed to the ground and said:
"Thank you King Fu for not killing me"
King Fu was overjoyed and immediately made Dalingwen a mighty general, awarded him a pair of golden helmets and iron armor, ten men (temporarily vacant), countless satin ribbons, ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold. Dalingwen was flattered. At this time
Just now I had the feeling that I had met the Ming Lord, so I sighed in my heart and vowed to follow the eight kings to take back the country and no matter who became the emperor. Anyway, I just wanted to be the founding marshal of the country. It would also be a good way to honor my ancestors and make my wife and son my wife.
Keeping your name for eternity is not a life in vain
Let’s talk about the female general. She is none other than Ruan Mei, the daughter of the king of Nanyue Kingdom. Nanyue Kingdom is close to the other kings, so they often come and go. This time the eight kings sent troops and specially invited people from Nanyue Kingdom to help in the battle. Unexpectedly, the third
The princess of South Vietnam stole the show in one battle. When the King of South Vietnam came, he told his daughter that the Central Plains is rich in resources and has many talents. If she could meet an outstanding person, she would marry him. Princess Ruan also wanted to try her luck, but what happened?
There were hundreds of thousands of famous generals in the king's camp, including the eight Fan Wangs, but none of them tempted her. They were either too poor in martial arts or good in height, short, fat and thin. Ruan Shimei thought that the Great Central Plains was just like this.
A great country is just a false name.
Prince Fu won the Qilin Pass, rewarded Princess Nguyen Thi Mui of South Vietnam, and received a general from Dalingwen. He was even more powerful, and he was even more ambitious, thinking that he could conquer the world without any effort. He continued to train his troops every day, preparing to choose a day to go north to attack.
Huayang Mansion
On this day, King Fu, his seven anti-king brothers and all the civil servants and generals were discussing matters in the main hall. Suddenly, a small army came to report:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Northern Army took advantage of me to attack Qilin Pass and raided our home base and captured Phoenix City!"
King Fu was shocked and asked urgently: "Who is leading the troops?"
"The deputy general is Liu Jianxun, the commander-in-chief of Huayang, and the commander is a beautiful young man. I don't know who his last name is?"
When King Fu, the kings, and all the officials and generals received this reward, they were stunned. They were helpless to fight in the front. Their old lair was being taken care of. What should they do?
King Fu and others asked Hua Shixiong for advice. Hua Shixiong pretended to count with his fingers and said:
"It seems that there must be an expert in the Northern Army camp. We must not conflict with him head-on. We might as well use the trick to defeat him."
"Military advisor, how do you say this? We have worked hard for many years to accumulate such a small amount of wealth. My wife and children are all in Phoenix City, and the Northern Army has taken the blame. What else do we have?" the kings asked in confusion.
"Can we be saved if we go back now?" Hua Shixiong asked back.
Kings think about it, this is true
Hua Shixiong said: "Think about it, Phoenix City is now in the hands of the Northern Army. Once we go back to attack the city, the Northern Army will be furious and will burn the city. We will get nothing. Not to mention that we are reluctant to let go of the baby and cannot trap the wolf.
I hate that my wife can’t catch the gangster! Let’s just let go of our hands and take him in a few more states and cities. If his wife is lost, he will be married again, and if his baby is gone, he will be reborn. Let’s do a big business!”
Hua Shixiong's words cannot be said to be wrong, but they are a bit too cruel. The kings were at a loss what to do, so they all turned their attention to the eldest brother. King Fu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"That's all I have to do. My dear brothers, I have to say something unpleasant. Brother Wang, I am only in my thirties at my oldest. You are still young and afraid that you will not be able to marry a wife? What's the point of having a country? Just follow the advice of the military advisor.
, continue to go south and east, capture a few more states and cities, and then attack Sanyang. After winning Sanyang, first show the emperor's sign, and the fool brothers in the north will become false emperors."
Hua Shixiong was the first to clapped his hands and praised. Now that the matter has come to this, the other princes also cheered up and expressed their agreement.
Urgent documents from all over the south were sent to the capital like snowflakes. The little emperor went up to the court to discuss matters. The civil servants and military generals were all silent. The little emperor was so anxious that he was at a loss. He looked here and there, and when he was about to curse, the Prime Minister Wang Shugui came out and said:
"Long live my emperor. In my opinion, it is better to send Pan You'an to quell the rebellion of the southern kings. The imperial envoy should be replaced as a marshal. He is an expert in marching and fighting."
The little emperor cheered and said: "Yes, yes, why have I forgotten this problem? My emperor's younger brother is working in the south, and I just want to trouble him again to hunt rabbits. If I want to send someone to do something convenient, who should I send?"
You guys are all useless losers, who can compare to my brother?"
Shangshu Ma Changjiang came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is natural for Pan You'an to serve as the marshal to counter the rebellion. But where will the troops, horses, and food be provided? We cannot let Marshal Pan fight with bare hands!"
The ministers looked at each other again, and the little emperor wondered: Why didn't the queen mother's rope stop being pulled?
Wang Shugui shouted: "Why did Ma Shangshu say this? Not long ago, Pan Qin sent back one hundred thousand silver coins to the court. Seeing that he is rich, money can make ghosts go around. You don't understand this principle. It's a pity that you are still working in the court.
There are city defense troops all over the south. When these people are gathered together, there are at least a million people. Are we still afraid that a few will rebel against the king?"
The little emperor clapped his hands and applauded and said: "My father is very thoughtful, so he did it like this. He immediately issued a decree and ordered our emperor Pan You'an to serve as the generalissimo of the counter-rebellion. From now on, he will send troops to annihilate the rebels."
