The Child Emperor - Chapter 119

[Chapter 119]

Zhang Yanghao and the other four requested to join the group. Their kneeling posture was much higher than the standard of ordinary people.

Han Ruzi accepted these four people and appointed them as generals and deputy to Chao Hua and Jin Chunbao. Seeing them happily thanking them, Han Ruzi knew that they had been drawn over by the King of the East China Sea. Although the children of Xungui had acted erratically, all of them had high self-esteem and would rather be an official than be subordinate to others. It is pictured otherwise.

Han Ruzi didn’t say anything. Through the experience of the past two days, he became more and more aware of a truth. These seven or eight hundred “rabble people” were his greatest protection. It was enough to drive away the guards of the East Sea King. To fight for one soldier and one general, it is better to build the righteous soldiers into a real army wholeheartedly.

He only lamented one thing, too little time and too many problems.

Soon after dawn, Chao Hua led his troops back to the village and brought several ships of grain to solve the urgent need. Seven or eight hundred nominal soldiers were eagerly waiting for breakfast. Even the Jade Emperor couldn’t keep it.

Han Ruzi himself was hungry and planned to eat with the soldiers. The King of the East Sea walked up to him and whispered, “Are you trying to share weal and woe with them?”

Han Ruzi nodded. He went through all the Centuries last night, memorized a lot of names, and he has to do more today.

The King of the East Sea smiled and said, “Can I persuade you?”

“Say.”

“When we share weal and woe, we also share our share of hardships. If we share joys or sorrows, it is called sharing hardships. But now you have no ‘sweetness’, only suffering. This is not called sharing hardships. It is a sign of weakness. Go among them and make yourself proud.”

“You don’t say a word.” After Han Ruzi finished speaking, he went back to the room and waited. Although the King of the East Sea was insidious and cunning, his words were not wrong. Han Ruzi quickly won the obedience of everyone by relying on the emperor’s mystery. side time.

The King of the East Sea also came in and rubbed his stomach, “I haven’t been so hungry for a long time. Last time I was in the palace, remember? If something happens in the palace, those guys will forget the two of us.”

“Remember.”

The King of the East Sea took a look around, “After breakfast, should we go?”

“From Jingnan to Jingbei, across the capital, you have to discuss the route first, and then set off.”

“The route is ready.” King Donghai stepped forward and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve. After unfolding it, it turned out to be a simple map, “The north side of the Kidnapper Lake leads directly to the Dahe River, you can go there by boat, you didn’t send someone yesterday. Huailing County, the mad monk Guangding will go to the north bank of the river to meet you, as long as he sees you, he will feel relieved.”

“So, I don’t have to take part in the uprising myself?”

“Guangding, they are lures, and the chaos is very dangerous. I advise you to stay in the south. You train this group of people well, bring as many as possible, and give them to Guangding, so that the forces of lures will be better. If it is bigger, it may bring more people to join.”

Han Ruzi looked at the map carefully for a while, “When will Taifu Cui’s Southern Army move?”

“Once someone in the north and south of Beijing rises under your banner, the Queen Mother will definitely ask the North and South Army to send troops to suppress it. Of course, my uncle’s army will not destroy us, but will come to protect you justifiably.” The King of the East Sea pointed at the map, “Jingcheng The South Gate has the Cui family’s inner responder, and after receiving the code, the city gate will be opened, and the southern army will rush into the city at night, take over the city gates, and then surround the palace.

“The palace still has the Guards.”

“Su Weijun has a name, how can it be the opponent of the Southern Army? And I have inquired about it. Shangguan Xu lost his prestige and prestige, and was forcibly appointed by the Empress Dowager as a general of Suwei, and was not subject to his subordinates. The support of you. You will also enter the city at that time, and with you there, Su Wei will probably open the gate of the palace, it is really impossible, and it will not be too late to attack.”

“and then?”

“Then it’s simple, abolish the false emperor, relocate the empress dowager, order civil and military officials, the only trouble is the champion. In the past six months, he has trained the northern army well, but the foundation is not stable after all, he is named king, look His reaction, accepting the title, we will talk about it later, if he does not accept it, he will come to a decisive battle, and with the strength of the southern army, it will be easy to defeat the northern army.”

Han Ruzi pondered, the guard outside just brought a hot breakfast, and the conversation between the two was temporarily suspended.

A bowl of brown rice with two pickled fish on it. This is the emperor’s breakfast. The King of the East Sea is treated even worse, with only one pickled fish.

When the guards withdrew, the East Sea King picked up the pickled fish in his bowl with chopsticks, sniffed it lightly, and said, “Don’t eat it, the fish stinks.”

Han Ruzi was really hungry, and regardless of the taste, he swallowed the rice and fish whole.

The King of the East Sea was actually hungry, too. He barely ate a few mouthfuls of rice, but the fish didn’t move at all. When Han Ruzi was almost done eating, he continued: “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while your fame is still alive, you can still Take back the throne, and after a while, even if the hopeful people talk like crazy, they won’t be able to remind the people of you.”

“Okay, let’s call the left and right generals, the master and Lin Kunshan, and calculate how many ships we have, how many people we can take, who will go to the north of Beijing and who will stay in the south of Beijing.”

The King of the East Sea smiled and took orders, but his face sank when he turned and walked out.

When discussing the marching plan, Han Ruzi had to ask everything clearly, try to delay the time as much as possible, and hope that Jin Chunzhong and Ma Da can bring back the news of Yang Feng.

In this way, the whole morning passed, and Han Ruzi could no longer ask any more questions, but when it was time for lunch again, “I can’t go to Beijing on an empty stomach.”

The smoke from the kitchen rose again in the village by the river, and Han Ruzi decided to delay it for a while in the afternoon, and then set off tomorrow morning on the pretext that it was not suitable to take the boat when it was dark. He doesn’t know what to do tomorrow, he can only take one step at a time.

The food here was just ready, and before it was divided, the scouts outside the stockade hurried back and reported a big news: the officers and soldiers are coming.

People in dozens of villages gathered at Kidnapper Lake. No matter how slow the government’s response was, they finally noticed it.

The King of Donghai shook his head and sighed, “Before the uprising, the southern army cannot act rashly, we can only protect ourselves, every hour we wait, the danger will increase by one point, and if this continues, the imperial court will have some effect on the uprisings in the north and south of Beijing. guard against…”

Han Ruzi was very happy that the officers and soldiers came to attack, and immediately called the generals again. The first order was to send more scouts to find out where the officers and soldiers were and how many there were.

If only the county government sent people, there should not be too many officers and soldiers. Han Ruzi guessed right, and soon returned the news that there were only more than a hundred officers and soldiers, and they had already traveled three miles away. They came for the smoke, and the speed was very fast.

Han Ruzi tried hard to recall the military book, but found that what he did was wrong, he simply stopped thinking about it, and dispatched troops based on his own intuition: Chao Hua was most familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he led the troops to fight, Jin Chunbao set up an ambush on the flanks, and Han Ruzi stayed behind A few people guard the village.

The King of the East Sea watched on, and occasionally he had something to say, but he forcibly held back.

Everyone led the way. This time, Han Ruzi could no longer stay in the house to remain “mysterious”. He went to the watchtower in the village to watch the battle in person. On the way, he went to Jin Chuiduo to ask for a few “command arrows”.

The maid, Dragonfly, went out and handed the five arrows to Han Ruzi, reminding: “There are ten arrows in total. If you have borrowed them, you will return them. When you return them, you must not miss one.”

When walking to the watchtower, the East Sea King smiled and said, “Is the person inside Hu You? She is a famous beauty in the capital. It is good to be an emperor…”

Han Ruzi ignored him and climbed up the watchtower. The King of the East Sea glanced at the simple wooden ladder, but did not follow him up. feel a little scared.

Lin Kunshan wandered around the neighborhood, strictly abiding by the rules of those looking for qi, and following the trend. Now that the general trend is brewing, he doesn’t even want to say a word.

The watchtower was not very high, Han Ruzi and two guards stood on it, and looking out, they saw large reeds nearby and dense woods in the distance, not to mention officers and soldiers, not even my own people who were heading to the battlefield.

A guard was originally a nearby villager, pointing to a piece of reed, “It’s shaking violently, it must be officers and soldiers.”

Han Ruzi noticed that the officers and soldiers were not far from the stockade, and he began to get nervous. He didn’t know whether his plan would be successful. It stands to reason that an unformed army cannot go out and confront the enemy head-on. It should guard the barracks. He practiced tactics while defending, but he did the opposite, sending most of the soldiers, leaving only 40 or 50 to guard the fort.

If you lose the battle, it is a crushing defeat.

The King of the East Sea below quietly ordered a few soldiers to go to the lake to prepare boats. If there is an accident, he does not want to fight with the officers and soldiers, but will take Han Ruzi up the lake.

He somewhat hoped that this battle would be a big defeat, and that without the support of this rabble, Han Ruzi would have better control.

The silhouettes of people in the reeds were vaguely visible, less than two miles apart, and the voice came clearly, “The stockade is in front!” “Someone is watching us in the stockade.” “Come on, catch the fake emperor and receive the reward!”

The officers and soldiers shouted, and the reeds swayed more violently. The two guards looked at each other and whispered, “Emperor, let’s go down and avoid it.”

“No hurry.” Han Ruzi was looking around for the two teams he sent.

Suddenly there was a thunderous roar outside the stockade, which startled the people in the stockade. The King of the East Sea supported the wooden ladder on the watchtower and looked towards the lake. Seeing that the soldiers had already boarded the boat, he felt relieved.

“It’s our people!” Han Ruzi shouted loudly. He saw that a team led by Chao Hua was attacking dozens of paces away from the officers and soldiers, shouting loudly, and the reeds were shaking.

The officers and soldiers thought that they were just here to arrest the daring people. They didn’t expect to be attacked, and they didn’t expect to be attacked suddenly. The number of officers and soldiers seemed to be ten times as many as they were, and suddenly they were in disarray.

Han Ruzi stared at the swaying reeds, trying to judge the situation on the battlefield.

After a while, another sound of killing sounded, and the second team led by Jin Chunbao cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

Han Ruzi’s heart is in his throat. If the officers and soldiers are well-trained, they will soon discover that although there are many besiegers, they do not have many weapons, and they do not follow the rules and regulations, they are just a group of chaotic people. Whether the officers and soldiers are fighting back on the spot or continuing Attacking the riverside village has a great chance of winning.

There is only one reason why Han Ruzi dared to fight: he could not see the battlefield situation clearly from the watchtower, and the officers and soldiers in it could not see clearly. They would panic, and if they panic, they would run away.

He wants to capture these officers and soldiers alive.

After waiting for a while, the shouting outside became louder and louder, the positions of the officers and soldiers finally changed, and the shaking of the reeds was extending towards the river.

Han Ruzi’s heart was relieved, he turned his head and saw the dragonfly in the distance waving at him, so he also waved.

Dragonfly returned to the house, “Miss, you don’t have to go out in person, I think the emperor will probably win this battle.”

The King of the East Sea, who was looking downstairs, sighed in disappointment.
