Royal Road - Chapter 309

[Chapter 308 | City]

On April 13, Liu Yuan died and the crown prince Liu He ascended the throne.

That night, the new emperor recruited Wuwei general Liu Meng, Anyi king Liu Qin, and Zuowei general Ma Jing into the palace to discuss the matter of eliminating the kings.

Liu Meng was reluctant to take action and was killed by Wei Liu Rui.

On the second day, the emperor’s army surrounded the residences of the three kings, Liu Yu, King of Qi, Liu Long, King of Lu, and Liu Yi, King of Beihai.

In just two days, the palace was destroyed.

Liu Yu and Liu Long died, and Liu Yi was taken into the palace and imprisoned with Queen Shan.

The news of the death of the late emperor Liu Yuan was still blocked in Pingyang City.

For a time, everyone in the court was panicking.

Huyanyou did not take off his blood-stained armor, so he strode into the courtyard.

He was ordered to attack the palace, and now that the two kings are dead, he also has the great merit of escorting and reversing.

Back then, the late emperor didn’t like his manners, and he ordered that he would not be promoted for life.

now what?

He finally sat on the top!

Entering the courtyard, Huyanyou smiled and said loudly, “The sorcerer is here too! Killing King Qi and King Lu alone, the big event has been decided!

” monk.

He has a plain appearance and high eyebrows, which seems to be of some Hu people’s blood.

This person’s name is Zhimingfa, and it is said that he was the disciple and grandson of the famous monk Zhiqian at the end of the Han Dynasty.

But for Huyanyou, the most amazing thing about this person is not preaching the scriptures.

Seeing Zhi Mingfa take a step forward, he said, “Your Majesty will be delighted that the great Situ has done a great job. But this is not the end of the matter. King Qin and the elite cavalry he led must be dealt with as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Huyan You calmed down: “I don’t know what the mage has a good idea?”

Liu Yao’s army of 50,000 people is really a headache.

After all, they are the elites of the Han state. If the Shangdang is defeated in World War I, it will shake the foundation of the state.

But letting Liu Yao continue to lead the troops was too much of a threat to Liu He.

How to gather the soldiers and kill Liu Yao is the key.

“King Qin is out on an expedition, and the news is not good. If you send a messenger, he will say that His Majesty is critically ill and order him to withdraw his troops. Once King Qin returns to Pingyang and goes to the imperial city to visit the sick, how can he lead troops? In this way, he will be able to let him Separate from the elite soldiers under his command.” Zhi Mingfa’s tone was indifferent, but his tactics were vicious.

Is it so easy to do so easily?

Only this point, I am afraid that a lot of elites will be damaged.

When Liu Yao leads his troops back to Pingyang, there are still conspiracy traps waiting ahead.

With a two-pronged approach, 50,000 elite soldiers will not be damaged, and this confidant can be easily solved, which can be described as simple and neat.

This is not the end, Zhi Mingfa continued: “There are also Wang Mi and Shile’s department, and we must strictly control the news to prevent them from returning with their troops. After His Majesty has fully grasped the situation in Pingyang, we can gather troops and horses and move the capital to Chang’an. ”

The Master is a great plan! I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty. If the traitor Liu Yao can be eradicated, the Master should be the first!” Huyanyou couldn’t help but praise.

At the beginning, he welcomed eminent monks into the mansion, only because this person was good at Buddhism and could cure diseases and evil spirits.

Who would have thought that there would be such a great talent in the country!

If it wasn’t for him to make plans, how could Liu He listen to his own arrangements?

In just a few days, he was promoted from Zongzheng to Da Situ, and in the future he will also assist the emperor in governing the country.

Huo Guang was just like that back then, right?

Feeling complacent in his heart, Huyanyou laughed and didn’t change his clothes, he turned around and went to the palace.

So complacent and without anyone else, he naturally didn’t see the cold smile that flashed across the monk’s lips.

At the same time, Liu Yao, who was in Shangdang, also felt uneasy in his heart.

“Why did the enemy start to attack?” After a

stalemate for half a month, it was about to harvest wheat. Not only did Bingzhou’s troops not retreat, they even jumped over the barrier and launched an offensive.

This was beyond Liu Yao’s expectations.

Could it be that they made up their minds not to use this season’s food and grass?

His subordinates are all cavalry, but the enemy has a lot of infantry. As long as he bypasses this group of soldiers and horses that come to entangle, can’t he easily penetrate into the hinterland of Shangdang?

That being said, Liu Yao did not divide his troops easily.

Only because he has fought with Bingzhou soldiers and horses several times, he knows his cunning.

Could this be another trap?

Or some trick to lure the enemy?

However, the enemy would not give him time to think.

In just one day, the enemy army advanced a lot, forcing Liu Yao to pull out of the camp.

Immediately following, there was movement in the Liang Mansion. Ten thousand soldiers and horses gathered in Gaodu, and it seemed that they were about to encircle.

They are really going to attack from both sides!

Liu Yao reacted quickly, and his heart was full of anger.

Do this group of Bingzhou soldiers think they are stupid like Pu Hong, and let them be slaughtered?

It’s better to break out of the siege and burn Lucheng!

At this moment, the palace came.

“What did you say? The food team arrived in Luoyang? Your Majesty is seriously ill?!” He jumped up from the Hu stool in shock, and the cold sweat on Liu Yao’s forehead immediately fell!

No wonder Shangdang is going to join forces to besiege, they don’t care about that little food at all!

Could it be that even Liu Yuan’s condition was carefully probed by Bingzhou?

He must rush back as soon as possible. If he loses the 50,000 people, there may be a crisis in Pingyang!

After making up his mind, Liu Yao retreated without being reckless.

After all, the cavalry is far better than the infantry. As long as you want to go, you can find countless ways.

The only thing to guard against is Bingzhou’s light cavalry.

However, the difference in the numbers of the two armies will not constitute a big obstacle.

Liu Yao was also proficient in battle, so he steadily distanced himself from the enemy.

As long as he retreats to the front line of Gaodu, he will be able to withdraw the entire army from Shangdang.

At this time, another secret report was sent to the big account.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away! Now that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, King Qi and King Lu have been killed overnight, and the King of Beihai has been imprisoned in the palace!

”

Liu Yao’s mouth opened for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: “What you said is true? When did His Majesty die?

” !”

Liu Yao’s body swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Liu Yuan has died?

How many princes did Liu Hezhu kill?

Whose hand did the edict sent yesterday come from?

A chill soaked through his body.

This is clearly, want to kill yourself!

Liu He can’t even accommodate his own brother, how can he accommodate his adopted son?

What’s more, if the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Chang’an, it would be in his own land, and Liu He would never feel at ease!

How to do?

!

The next moment, he said solemnly: “Let the Zuo Army be the vanguard, break through the Gaodu line of defense, and General Jianwei will lead 5,000 troops to break the rear!”

Now is not the time to delay, returning to Pingyang one day will give you one more chance .

Only by taking advantage of Liu He’s self-confidence that he has the big picture in his hands and attacking the city by surprise, can he be killed!

Liu He is not dead, he is dead.

At a critical juncture, what is the breaking point force?

What’s more, the people who came to attack Shangdang this time were not only their own family members.

Whether it was Huyan Hao, who led the left army, or Liu Ling, the Jianwei general who was sent to the rear, they were not direct descendants.

Putting them in the front and the back is precisely to resist the troops and horses of Bingzhou.

With these dead ghosts, his main force can return to Pingyang safely!

Life and death were on the line, Liu Yao’s order was quickly conveyed.

The Huns began to move.

On the other side, Sun Jiao said: “General, are you really not stopping these people?”

Although he was in an offensive posture, his troops and horses have not done their best. It can even be said that the net has opened up, and the content The enemy escapes.

This kind of play is really not very enjoyable.

“The enemy has 50,000 elite cavalry, and it is not easy to stop them all.” Yi Yan’s expression remained unchanged, “Order the brave army to stop the rushing enemy. Minimize casualties as much as possible, and the remaining enemies, Just put it back.”

Yi Yan knew about Zhang Bin’s plan, and he was even more aware of the current situation of the Xiongnu.

It’s better to fight the enemy internally than to spend energy on it yourself.

After winning Sizhou, Bingzhou’s forces were further dispersed, and it would take at least a year to restore its heyday.

And the civil strife of the Xiongnu was the perfect time for them to earn this year.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Sun Jiao stopped complaining and quickly sent the order.

How to safely swallow the bait thrown by the enemy requires a lot of effort.

On the same day, the puppet Han soldiers and horses launched a fierce attack and broke through the defense line encircled by Gaodu.

More than 10,000 troops were lost.

With the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses, Xingye rushed back to Pingyang.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Liu He ordered Liu Yao to enter the palace for an audience.

Liu Yao did obey the order, but he was not the only one who entered the city.

The 500 guards who entered the city took advantage of the guards’ defense and grabbed the city gate abruptly, and then 30,000 elite cavalry rushed into the Xiongnu’s own capital!

“Prince Liu He kills His Majesty and murders the Prince. It’s really outrageous!” Liu Yao shouted loudly, “Follow me into the city and rescue the Queen and the King of Beihai!

” Another carnage.

Although the guards were brave, Liu Yuan died too hastily, and the news has been blocked, and people have long been uneasy.

What’s more, which of the princes is not married to a noble relative of the Xiongnu?

Kill them, who will not be in danger?

Liu Yao’s fire burned just right, igniting the anger in everyone’s heart!

The situation began to reverse, and the sound of killing shouts, like the raging fire, shot straight into the sky.

In Huyanyou’s mansion, Zhi Mingfa changed into a servant’s clothes and put on a fake bun calmly.

The task of inciting Huyanyou and creating civil unrest has been completed, and all the news has been successfully passed on to Liu Yao.

No matter who wins or loses between these two, it has nothing to do with them.

“Start with the tiger talisman, withdraw!” A secret message was uttered, and a dozen secret whistlemen who were ambushed in Liu He’s family’s mansion quietly left.

However, no one knows how many secret hands who are preparing to steal talismans are hidden in this burning Pingyang City.

One day of fierce battle, Liu He died.

All the chaotic parties headed by Huyanyou were arrested and beheaded.

Covered in blood, Liu Yao strode into the hall: “The Queen Mother, the minister is late!”

Queen Shan was frightened a lot these days, and when she heard the “Queen Mother”, she almost didn’t cry.

He called her the Empress Dowager because he wanted her son Liu Yi to succeed him!

“King Qin, quickly recover! This time, the execution of the chaotic minister Nizi is still due to the hard work of King Qin!” Queen Shan said quickly.

“It’s all your duty.” Liu Yao stood up, glanced at the King of the North Sea standing next to him, and smiled, “Fortunately, the King of the North Sea is safe, and please His Highness quickly ascend the throne, the people’s hearts have been reassured!”

After this chaos, Liu Yi dared to agree immediately.

Who knows what the king of Qin, who dares to lead troops to the imperial city in front of him, is thinking?

Liu Yao’s attitude was extremely submissive: “His Royal Highness is the direct son of the first emperor, and he will inherit the great line! After His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will immediately move to Chang’an, and my emperor Han should be able to survive this difficulty!” Move the

capital!

Queen Shan said sharply: “When Your Majesty was about to die, he had a last word. It is precisely to move the capital! Yi’er, King Qin is loyal, and Fang is a heroic general who assists me!”

Looking at Liu Yi’s still cowardly eyes, Queen Shan grabbed it She

broke her son’s arm, and her long nails pierced into each other’s flesh: “Xi’er, a country cannot live without a ruler!”

How could she not know that Liu Yao, who had been in charge of Chang’an for a long time, was equally dangerous.

However, their mother and son are now helpless, and the only thing they can catch is the word “Zhengshuo”!

Liu Yao is not Liu Yuan’s biological son, but an adopted clan son. In terms of division, he will never be able to surpass Liu Yi and rashly claim to be emperor.

Therefore, whether he wants to be Huo Guang or Cao Cao, he must protect the safety of their mother and child.

Survive, there is hope!

Liu Yi opened his mouth, but couldn’t squeeze out half a word.

In the smog of blood that has not disappeared from the Pingyang Palace, another young emperor ascended the throne.

The news of Liu Yuan’s death also spread.
