Royal Road - Chapter 108

[Chapter 108]

A hundred thousand troops flee, what does it look like?

Sima Yue stood outside the tent, his teeth trembling.

As far as the eyes can see, all over the mountains and plains are the broken soldiers, throwing away their helmets and armor, and wolves rushing and rushing.

Instead of confronting the army of the King of Chengdu, the reinforcements from all over the place scrambled to escape, breaking up the already vulnerable formation.

“Stop! Quickly send troops to resist the enemy!” Frightened and frightened, Sima Yue finally gave an order.

Following the order, the imperial guard guarding the emperor went up to meet them, trying their best to stand in front of the enemy’s iron cavalry.

There are not only the emperor’s imperial chariot here, but also countless accompanying ministers including the king of the East Sea.

Even if it is for yourself, you have to fight to the death!

However, these perennially pampered and forbidden troops, led by the sons and daughters of Xunqi, could not stop the menacing enemy soldiers.

The momentum was like a broken bamboo, the army rushed up, more and more guards fell under the horse, and the enemy soldiers with fierce eyes were still pressing step by step.

“Captain, the right army has retreated!” Another bad news came.

Sima Yue only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

Chen Feng escaped?

The right army under him is the main force of the forbidden army. If even he escapes, who can resist the army in front of him?

“The remnants of General Shangguan have also retreated!” A confidant stepped forward in a hurry, “Captain, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold it here!”

“Retreat! Quickly retreat!”

“However, what about the imperial car…” The confidant hesitated, looking at the huge golden frame not far away.

In order to demonstrate the power of the emperor, the emperor had to ride a golden root chariot, prepare six horses, and follow the five-colored chariot, gold roe and tin, and yellow house Zuoyu.

The entire imperial carriage is like a golden hill, with the same majesty and eye-catching.

If you retreat with the imperial chariot, you may not be able to walk half a mile, and you will be embroidered by the enemy.

But without… Is it possible to abandon His Majesty?

!

Sima Yue’s face was hideous, and he said loudly, “Wang An of Chengdu dares to offend His Majesty?! Retreat first, wait for the troops and horses, and then come to the rescue!”

Without even the slightest hesitation, Sima Yue abandoned the imperial chariot and fled outside under the cover of his confidants.

All who could lead the troops scattered and fled.

The remaining soldiers were even more vulnerable.

Soon, the ceremonial wall around the imperial chariot was broken, and the arrows passed through the yellow cover and came towards the throne!

“Ah!” Sitting in the car, the emperor wearing a gun mian exclaimed.

Staring blankly at Chang Yu who was swaying above his arm, the heart-piercing pain followed.

He was shot.

“Escort… Who will escort…” After realizing it, the slow emperor realized that before his imperial chariot, there was no pro-guardian guard.

However, the faint cry did not come out.

On the contrary, more arrows were pinned to the incomparably large and magnificent carriage.

A few steps away, the shouting became louder.

The loyal soldiers have fallen under the enemy’s front, and they have turned into mutilated corpses and died in front of the imperial guard.

He was hit by two more arrows, and the blood flowed nonstop. The emperor could no longer bear it, and shrank his body, trying to hide himself in the imperial carriage.

The crown fell to the side, and Gunyi was also stained with blood, but it was like a rain of locust arrows, but it did not mean to stop at all.

“Your Majesty!” Someone jumped on the imperial chariot from the side, unfolded his sleeves, and blocked the emperor with his own body.

“Don’t panic, Your Majesty, thieves can’t overtake your ministers and hurt Your Majesty!”

This person was Ji Shao, the son of Ji Kang.

A few days ago, he was demoted by Sima Ying to a commoner, and it was also when he was recruited in person that he was reinstated as an official.

“Ji Shizhong…” The emperor seemed to say something, but no one could hear him clearly during the killing call.

Soon, the arrow rain disappeared, and the seemingly endless killing shouts also fell silent.

A murderous voice exploded in his ear: “Your Majesty is here!”

Ji Shao, who was dying, was dragged up with several arrows, and one person had already raised the blade in his hand.

The emperor seemed to wake up suddenly, and regardless of the pain on his body, he said loudly: “Loyal minister, don’t kill!”

However, the red-eyed soldier just sneered: “On the order of the Taixiong, I will not offend your Majesty!”

Following these words, the man raised his sword and chopped off Ji Shao’s head.

A hot blood flew high and splashed on the emperor.

As if terrified, he crooked and fell out of the car.

※

In the palace of Yecheng, a handsome man dressed in Chinese clothes rubbed his palms and laughed: “Donghai child, dare to compete with Gu?!”

This person is the owner of Yecheng, the king of Chengdu, Sima Ying.

As the son of Emperor Wu, he also inherited the good appearance of his father’s “very majestic appearance”, with a tall stature and outstanding appearance.

In the early years, he also served as a sage and used energy, and his reputation was booming.

But with the power in his hands, he, like his father, quickly became extravagant and arrogant.

These days, he was so frightened by the imperial expedition, how could he not be overjoyed when he heard the news of the defeat of Sima Yue’s army?

Still think about it yourself!

If he listened to the words of those timid people, gave up Yecheng, and fled elsewhere, he would have lost everything.

And now, he is still the emperor’s younger brother, the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the only winner of this northern expedition!

“Is the Son of Heaven okay?” After laughing, Sima Ying remembered something more important.

Although it is good to win, but the imperial army is on the expedition, but he leads the army to kill the emperor, doesn’t it mean that he will be charged with eternal crimes?

As the emperor’s younger brother, even if he wants to succeed the throne, he should give in or wait for his stupid brother to die of illness and old age.

To die in the army is obviously not a choice.

The following officials immediately replied: “The emperor is fine, he just suffered some injuries.”

Sima Ying immediately let out a sigh of relief: “That’s fine. Well, let the emperor’s imperial driver stop at General Shi’s camp first. Wait for the book to be ready. Guard of honor, welcome the emperor into the city again!”

As a courtier, you must never “capture” the emperor.

Before, he defied public opinion and ordered the dispatch of troops, using the saying that he would save the emperor from the hands of chaotic ministers.

Now it is natural to welcome the Son of Heaven into Ye, which is just right.

After ushering in the Son of Heaven this time, it is time to prepare for the succession ceremony.

Sima Ying has now made up her mind to stop wasting time with that stupid brother.

In any case, he must become emperor as soon as possible!

One order after another, immediately passed down.

After exhausting countless scheming, the emperor, who was barely ready, entered Yedu in a mighty manner.

※

“What did you say? The Sixth Army was defeated, and the Son of Heaven entered Ye City?”

After finally leading the army out of Baixing, he was about to meet with Brother A when he heard such news.

Sima Teng couldn’t help but burst into anger: “Didn’t you say there are 100,000 troops

, how could you be defeated so quickly?! Where is my brother now?”

…”

Hearing that Sima Yue had returned to the East China Sea, Sima Teng was so angry that he was speechless.

After a long while, he said angrily: “Chengdu King, this thief! Quickly order the army to go north and attack Yecheng. I want to defeat the rebels together with Wang Pengzu!”

Yes, as long as the emperor can be recaptured and the King of Chengdu can be eradicated, this time Sending troops will not be in vain.

Even if Brother A was defeated, he still had 30,000 elite soldiers and Wang Jun’s tens of thousands of cavalry.

There was a battle just now, and I thought that the strength of the King of Chengdu should also be depleted.

If you don’t fight now, when will you wait?

If that rebel official really usurped the throne, things would be troublesome!

Following the order, Sima Teng’s army accelerated its march and attacked Yecheng!

Sima Ying was still in the sweet dream of succeeding the throne.

Amnesty was given first, then Yuan was changed, and then King Andong, who was a surrenderer, was beheaded.

After that, Ye City was silent, and no one dared to insist on his actions.

However, just after offering sacrifices to the sky in the southern suburbs, the news of the attack from Sima Teng and Wang Jun reached his ears.

This time, Yecheng was in a commotion again.

The Son of Heaven’s personal expedition was just a big name, but the soldiers and horses of Duke Dongying and the Governor of Youzhou were really strong troops!

Especially the Xianbei cavalry under Wang Jun, not to mention the Jin army, even the Xiongnu cavalry would have to avoid it if they saw it.

What if you let them call?

In desperation, Sima Ying had to send three more troops to intercept the two.

※

“The army is coming, how can this be good?! Do you have any advice?”

He was Meng Jiu, the eunuch most favored by the King of Chengdu.

A few days ago, I was still worrying about the succession of the King of Chengdu. Unexpectedly, in a few days, Yecheng would be in danger.

No one can bear such ups and downs, let alone a eunuch.

Unlike others, his glory and wealth are closely tied to the king of Chengdu.

If the King of Chengdu proclaims the emperor, he will be the most popular person by the emperor’s side; and if the King of Chengdu is defeated, he will also flee into exile with the other party.

Such a situation in heaven and earth, how could he not make him anxious.

He had to recruit his aides to discuss what to do.

However, even Meng Jiu himself knew that if he wanted to rely on these aides, he was afraid that it would be useless.

The eunuch who can take refuge in him must not be a talented and capable celebrity.

And those ghost tricks may not have any impact on the battle situation.

Unexpectedly, however, a young man hesitated for a moment and said, “Dongyinggong is in Bingzhou. Whether sending troops or transporting food, he must go to Shangdang. If he can send someone to sneak into Shangdang county town, attack and kill the county guard. , to capture Baixing. Even if Duke Dongying can’t be defeated, he can still help him immediately…”

“Huh?” Meng Jiu’s eyes lit up, he turned his head and asked, “What’s your name?”

The man saw Meng Jiu’s interest. , hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said: “Li Lang Li Zhongming, the boy. He used to be a subordinate of General Meng, and then he was put into the mansion.”

General Meng, of course, was referring to Meng Jiu’s younger brother Meng Chao who died in the Battle of Luoyang.

Thinking of his deceased brother, a look of hatred crossed Meng Jiu’s face. Even if Yinzhang Luji’s brother died, it would not change the life of his precious brother.

It only took a moment for the sullen look on his face to fade away, he walked to Li Lang’s side, leaned over and asked, “This method is good, but Shangdang has always been a danger to the world. How can you kill the county governor and seize the pass? ”

The boy is a member of the Shangdang, and there are brothers in the family who are officials in the county town. As long as you send a team of brave soldiers, you will be able to break into the county mansion by surprise! Then, in the name of the county governor, you can switch into the city, and you can easily change it. Chengtou, the road behind Dongying Road is broken!” Li Lang’s heart pounded, and he said his plan.

Brave warriors?

Meng Jiu’s eyes lit up and suddenly remembered another matter.

Liu Yuan, the captain of the Xiongnu, also said that he was old and weak and wanted to return to his hometown in Bingzhou.

It just so happens that the five Xiongnu are not in Bingzhou?

Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to take advantage of this opportunity and let the Huns send some troops and horses to help capture Shangdang County?

Haha laughed, Meng Jiu patted Li Lang’s shoulder: “This plan is very good, I will report it to the Lord. Li Guest, this is a good opportunity for you to make achievements!”

Being patted on the shoulder by the eunuch, Li Lang trembled with excitement, and fell to his knees: “I will live up to the Lord’s trust!”
