Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 460

[Chapter 460]

herdsmen “General, the army of Beidi has moved.” At the

head of Xiancheng city, the army of Beidi pulled out its camp and headed south.

This movement was immediately noticed by the soldiers and reported to Yang Feng.

“What happened? It seems to be in the direction of Wuguan.” Yang Feng frowned.

He was puzzled, but he couldn’t figure out Beidi’s intentions, so he continued to observe.

After Beidi’s army broke out, Xiliang and Ma Jin’s armies seemed to have no intention of retreating.

Immediately filled the gap surrounded by Beidi soldiers and continued to besiege them.

During Beidi’s siege of Xiancheng, Xiliang’s soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangcheng and Baocheng all arrived.

At present, there are more than 300,000 people together.

Although they are not as powerful as Beidi soldiers and horses.

But during this period of time to defend the city, he has less than 150,000 soldiers and horses.

In particular, nearly half of them are soldiers and horses from powerful clans whose morale has been extremely low.

It is almost impossible to break out of the encirclement.

I’m afraid this is also the reason why Beidi’s army left.

“After the emperor escaped, he didn’t know whether he went back to Jinling or Yanzhou? How did he plan to break the siege of Xiancheng?” Yang Feng read a sentence, eyes full of worry.

He wasn’t worried about himself, but he didn’t want the soldiers and generals in Xiancheng to die here.

After all, Zhao Heng’s new army of the Forbidden Army cost a lot of money, and they all died here, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the royal family.

…

Yanguan.

After playing with Zhao Heng for a few days, Zhao Xu escorted the emperor here at Zhao Heng’s request.

“As expected of the first grand pass in Dasong, if it is taken by Beidi, it will be difficult to take it back.” Zhao Heng stared at the front of Yanguan city and said with emotion.

Since childhood, the name of Yanguan has always been in my ears.

But since he ascended the throne to now, he has not been to Yanguan in person.

Occasionally, he thought of it, so he came here in person.

During this period of time, he had to wait for Beidi’s next move before making a decision.

The second prince also followed with a stern face, as if Zhao Xu would let his subordinates beat him to death when he was no longer around Zhao Heng.

Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Xu’s taking advantage of the banquet to let his father reward him with the three southern counties.

He was even more shocked by Zhao Heng’s words that the throne can also be given.

But he knew very well that it was better for him to be honest in King Yan’s territory.

Therefore, he was unhappy, but these few days he didn’t dare to offend Zhao Xu at all, with a peaceful look.

“Father really said that this Yanguan is the gate of Dasong. With the ninth younger brother guarding it, it must be safe and sound.” The second prince gave Zhao Xu a smile.

A group of people were talking when suddenly a cavalryman climbed up the city wall and said to Zhao Xu: “Your Highness, the Hanzhou pastoralist soldiers have arrived at the border of Yanzhou and demanded to see the emperor.”

“Oh?” Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, “Then let him in. ”

Since that day, Zhao Heng announced the decree in public and granted him the three southern counties.

He immediately sent soldiers and officials to take over the three southern counties.

At the same time, some people from the three counties who came to the four north counties despite Chang Wei heard the news and returned to the three south counties one after another.

Next, they will share the land just like the people in the four northern counties.

Therefore, since the three southern counties are his fief, naturally Han Qi cannot be allowed to come and go as he pleases.

But now that Han Qi knew that the three southern counties had become his fiefdom, he was afraid that he would die of anger.

In response, the cavalry turned and left.

Zhao Heng and the second prince looked at each other, their expressions relaxed.

At present, they are entrusting the soil in the King of Yan, all the officials are the officials of the King of Yan, and all the generals are the generals of the King of Yan.

This makes them feel insecure.

At this time, Han Qi led the troops to the border of Yanzhou, and they felt a lot more at ease.

Facing Yan Wang, he also gained confidence.

Just as the cavalry left, another cavalry arrived.

“Your Highness, the Wang family’s soldiers and horses have arrived at the southwest border of Yanzhou, and Yuzhou Mu Wangkang has asked to see the emperor.” The cavalry said.

“Let him be the marquis of Yancheng.” Before Zhao Xu could speak, Zhao Heng said it suddenly, with a lot of confidence in his words.

When the second prince heard this, his eyebrows danced with joy and his eyes were excited.

The feeling of being dependent on others disappeared.

After receiving this news, Zhao Heng didn’t seem to have any interest in staying in Yanguan anymore.

Han Qi and Wang Kang came one after another when they got the news. Next, the news that he escaped from Xiancheng will reach Jinling.

The imperial court will definitely send someone to welcome him back to Jinling.

Although the basic necessities of food, housing and transportation in Yanzhou are good these days.

But he still couldn’t stand the shabby conditions in the northern border, and wished he could go back immediately.

“Father, please.” Zhao Xu saw Zhao Heng’s thoughts, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Heng to get down from the city wall and drive Yancheng.

Zhao Heng wanted to leave, but he was really looking forward to it.

With this Great Song Emperor here, he ate, drank and played with him, almost becoming a three-accompany.

Most importantly, Zhao Heng wants the best in everything.

If you don’t let him go, I’m afraid he will be a draft girl in Yanzhou.

I don’t want to continue to serve this ancestor.

Furthermore, his goal of asking for the three southern counties has been achieved.

Zhao Heng also gave him the right to sea trade as a gift. From now on, he can start sea trade with one white and one black .

Of course, he knew that Zhao Heng was flattering and killing him.

In the case of his great loss of strength, stir up the conflict between him and the powerful clan, and relieve the pressure on himself.

But he doesn’t care.

The power clan has always been at odds with him, but this time he has made such a great contribution.

Without Zhao Heng’s instigation, the powerful clan might want to suppress him further.

What’s more, he took Yuan Li’s Nansan County and expelled Yuan’s family from Yanzhou.

This time, Han Qi and Wang Kang, two state herdsmen, came here.

From his point of view, if there is a meaning to meet and rush to attack, I am afraid that there is also the meaning of complaining to Yuan Li.

After all, Yuan Li was the nail of the powerful family in Yanzhou.

How could he be allowed to pull it out so easily.

But they came in vain, the imperial decree has been issued, they can only stare blankly.

…

Jinling, the news that King Yan rescued Emperor Zhao Heng was sent here.   Yanxi Hall of the

Imperial Palace .   Zhao Gang was blindfolded, playing peek-a-boo with three court ladies.   Laughing.   At this time, Empress Xie came in, glanced at Zhao Gang, and waved the three maids to leave.   Just at this moment, Zhao Gang suddenly grabbed Empress Xie, and as soon as he took off the cloth strip from his eyes, he was about to kiss her.   Seeing that it was his mother, he was startled.   ”Mother, do you also like to play peek-a-boo?” Zhao Gang looked embarrassed.   Empress Xie’s face turned red and then turned pale, “What a joke, you, you really don’t look like you.”   Then he said: “You know, King Yan sent someone to rescue the emperor, and the emperor is probably in Yancheng now. ”   The news was sent from Sizhou of the Ma family.   So it shows that Zhao Heng has already left for Yancheng.   ”King Yan rescued Emperor Father!” Zhao Gang was shocked.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the teacup next to him and threw it on the ground, “This King Yan really hurt me.”

“Okay, the matter has come to an end, it’s useless to talk, you immediately call a group of ministers to discuss how to welcome the emperor back. “Empress Xie said, “It is said that the second prince has an inescapable responsibility for the setback of the Northern Expedition. This time he returns to Beijing, and the emperor will definitely investigate. In this way, the third prince is abolished, and the second prince is not only useless, but guilty. The throne is still yours Yes .”

Zhao Gang felt better when he heard that.

However, he felt annoyed at the thought of continuing to wait.

It’s just that he knew in his heart that this was also helpless.
