Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 463
[Chapter 463 Undefeated but Defeated]
“Beidi’s fierce attack on Wuguan, the Dou family’s soldiers and horses will not be able to support it?”
This day.
Zhao Heng was walking with Xiao Shishi in the courtyard.
No longer facing the worry of life and death, the two became inseparable again.
The unhappiness in Xiancheng disappeared.
But the urgent battle report sent from Wuguan made Zhao Heng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
If Wuguan is broken, Beidi’s army will drive straight in and conquer Jingzhou.
Where is this Jingzhou?
Dasong is the thoroughfare of Kyushu. As long as it occupies this place, Beidi soldiers and horses will be inserted into Dasong’s heart.
After all, even Ningzhou and Jingzhou, where Jinling is located, are only separated by Fengzhou.
“Immediately, send troops to Wuguan immediately!” Zhao Heng shouted.
Zhao Xu frowned lightly, it was the cavalry of the Dou family who came to send the military message.
Hearing the news, he let the cavalry of the Dou family come over, and he himself followed.
“Father, there is no need to panic. This is just Mu Lehong’s trick. Its purpose is to bargain with Da Song.” Zhao Xu said slowly.
Mu Lehong’s real movements were indeed beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that Mu Lehong would lead the troops back to aid Ning Jindusi.
At the same time, envoys were sent to exchange Ulan Ba with Xiancheng soldiers and horses as hostages.
This time, the battle is about to break out, so let’s wait for a while and continue to the next contest.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lehongzhen learned his method of “surrounding Wei and saving Zhao” this time and attacked Wuguan.
One is to deter Da Song, and the other is to force him to withdraw the soldiers and horses of Ning Jindu and return to aid Wuguan.
In this matter, it can be seen that this Beidi Khan is indeed resourceful.
If it wasn’t for the unlucky encounter with him, any idea of Mule Hongzhen going south would have killed Da Song.
“How can we not panic, Beidi can go to Jinling City to plunder after passing Wuguan.” Zhao Heng turned back and forth anxiously, completely panicking just like when he was in Xiancheng.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Heng and sighed inwardly.
His father is clever and smart, but he really doesn’t have the talent and grand plan that an emperor should have, and he loses his mind when he is frustrated.
Not as good as the county magistrate under his command.
He was about to explain to Zhao Heng that another cavalry arrived at this time and submitted a battle report, “His Royal Highness, another king’s tent has entered Ning Jindu Division. At present, Ning Jindu Division has three king’s tents in its force.”
Zhao Heng heard that, He sighed again, “King Yan, your strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao is completely useless. With three king tents, you only have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. How do you deal with it? You should withdraw and go to Wuguan.”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help feeling a little excited Huo, if Zhao Heng wasn’t Emperor Dasong, he really wanted to scold him severely.
But he happened to be the emperor, he couldn’t beat him, he couldn’t scold him, the key point was that he was honest like a pig teammate and always wanted to make a show, and he kept nagging in his ear.
“Father, Mu Le Hongzhen dare not enter Jingzhou at all. Isn’t he afraid that his son will take the opportunity to leave Qinguan and cut off his way back to the grassland?” Zhao Xu continued, “This time his arrangement is to let We feel that the credit is due to defeat, and we are still at a disadvantage, which is actually a bluff.” In the
end, he said firmly: “If Mu Lehong really wants to win Jingzhou, he will definitely occupy Qinzhou first, manage it, get ready, and then go south. ”
In the battle of Xiancheng, Zhao Heng was already terrified by Beidi.
He has seen Beidi’s artillery that is as powerful as the Dasong Forbidden Army.
I also saw Beidi’s invincible cavalry.
He said: “Beidi has artillery now, like a tiger with wings added. How can your mere 100,000 soldiers block their way back to the grassland? Besides, your words are all guesswork. What is Mu Lehong really thinking? How could you Know?”
As if recalling something, he said: “Mu Lehong is really a lunatic. He can do anything for victory, and he must not take it lightly.” After finishing speaking
, he urged Zhao Xu to bring his troops back to help Wuguan again. .
At this moment, another cavalry came to report.
“Your Majesty, the son of Mu Le Hongzhen arrived at the city of Qinguan and asked to see the Emperor and discuss peace with Da Song.” The cavalry said.
“What!” Zhao Heng was startled when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.
The cavalry continued, “Tiemu Tower also said that as long as the peace negotiation is successful, their Beidi and Dasong will turn their wars into friendship and no longer send troops to the south to invade.
” Maybe a princess will be given to their King Ulanba, and the two families will cease fighting.”
“But they said that the specific matters will be discussed in detail with the emperor at Qinguan.”
For a moment, Zhao Heng seemed to be immersed in a beautiful dream.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest.
A truce with Beidi was the dream of most ministers in the Dasong court, including him.
If it weren’t for Beidi’s reluctance to negotiate peace, he repeatedly attacked Dasong.
There is no place for Yang Feng and other peacemakers in the court.
Moreover, facing life and death in Xiancheng this time made him feel that spending the rest of his life in wealth and stability is more important than anything else.
He wants to make peace, even in his dreams he wants to make peace.
He really didn’t want to fight anymore, Dasong’s imperial army was getting fewer and fewer, and the treasury was getting more and more empty.
Even if this peace negotiation can last for one year or two years, it is better to let him rest.
It’s much better than the continuous attack during this period.
Furthermore, what if Beidi is real this time?
In this way, after he returns to Jinling, he can truly live a carefree life as an emperor.
“Father, no matter what the result of the peace negotiation is, I don’t want to be used as a bargaining chip.”
Zhao Xu saw Zhao Heng’s almost fanatical eyes, and he knew that no matter what he said, he could no longer stop the Great Song Emperor .
He also finally understood Mu Lehong’s true intentions.
The fight against Wuguan was not for King Yan, but for Zhao Heng and Da Song’s powerful clan.
The authority of Da Song is still in the hands of these people after all.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt sick.
I finally understood the war between Qing and France in the late Qing Dynasty. France was clearly defeated, but in the end they had to cede land and pay compensation.
What is the reason?
It is because the interests of the dignitaries of the Qing court are actually inconsistent with the interests of the people at the bottom.
What the people want is to defend the country and expel the Tartars.
What the rich and powerful want is peace, to continue their extravagant life.
Even if you measure the material resources of China, you will not hesitate to form a bond with the country.
This is obviously the case with Da Song at the moment.
Zhao Heng and Shizu were afraid of Beidi, but they were brave enough to fight among themselves.
As long as the enemies in the north don’t make noise, so what if they are servile?
Internally, they are still aloof.
It’s better than Beidi broke the country and they became prisoners.
However, after recognizing this problem clearly, although he was extremely disappointed.
But he also decided that even if he offends Zhao Heng, he must show his bottom line.
He didn’t care what Zhao Heng went to Qinguan to discuss with Beidi.
But absolutely cannot betray his interests, betray the interests of Yanzhou.
They wanted to give birth on their knees, but he, he and the people of King Yan had straight knees.
He understood that Zhao Heng would be unhappy if he spoke so recklessly and bluntly.
But he doesn’t care anymore.
He also saved face for Zhao Heng, only because of the existence of this emperor, Da Song could maintain stability for the time being.
Moreover, Zhao Heng needs him now, even if he is a little unhappy, he has to endure it.
Sure enough, when Zhao Heng heard the words, his face changed slightly.
But soon he regained his composure, “King Yan thinks too much, I have my own measure.”
