Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 676

[Chapter 676 Cracks]

Crack On the dragon chair.

Dou Mu closed his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly opened it, and said to the eunuch beside him: “I will pass on my order, and immediately recall General Xiao Cheng to protect Xiangcheng.”

After saying that, he seemed to lose all strength in his body, and he collapsed on the dragon chair, He murmured: “King Yan, you are a lowly son from a poor family, how can you win against me?”

Before the court meeting, he and Dou Wei agreed to recall Xiao Cheng.

King Yan’s move forced them to make this choice.

He couldn’t take the risk of destroying Nanliang and continue to participate in this uncertain war against Yan.

Of course, he also gave the Han family and the Xie family a choice.

If Han Zheng and Xie Duan agree to lead the coalition forces to Xiangcheng to relieve the danger of Xiangcheng, they will continue to fight against King Yan with them.

Having settled the matter, he waved his hand to let the courtiers disperse.

The next day, the soldiers of the Ma family appeared in Xiangcheng, and the whole Xiangcheng became tense.

Originally, Dou Wei and Dou Mu still hesitated about yesterday’s decision.

But when the Ma family soldiers shot and killed the Nanliang soldiers on the city wall two hundred steps away, they never doubted their decision.

Xiangcheng is located in the center of Jingzhou and divides Jingzhou into two.

Compared with the north of Jingzhou, the south of Jingzhou is richer.

Therefore, they must keep Xiangcheng.

Otherwise, with the strength of the soldiers of the Ma family, if they cross Xiangcheng, they will take down the entire Jingzhou like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

The foundation of their Dou family was completely destroyed.

Of course, they can also retreat to Yizhou, relying on Yizhou’s dangerous way of being guarded by one man, and no one can open it, and live in a corner.

But Yizhou is the foundation of the Xiao family after all.

When they went, they felt like they were depending on others.

This is also the second reason why he recalled Xiao Cheng.

Avoid the Dou family’s soldiers and horses from being damaged in the war against Yan.

In this way, with the strength of the Dou family’s troops, even if they retreated to Yizhou, Dou Mu’s throne was still stable.

Furthermore, Beidi formed an alliance with his Dou family, and with the support of Beidi’s cavalry, it was even more secure.

…

At this moment, outside Xiangcheng.

Dianzhang observed Xiangyang City with a telescope.

He stationed his soldiers at a distance of 800 meters outside Xiangcheng.

Avoid shelling.

Immediately, he sent 3,000 stragglers to touch Xiangcheng and shoot the Nanliang soldiers on the city wall.

According to the plan, their plan for Xiangcheng was to surround and not fight.

Only when the sword is hanging above the head is it the most dangerous. Once it falls, it will be over once and for all.

Therefore, if they take Xiangcheng quickly, once Xiao Cheng, who is far away in Qizhou, gets the news, he will smash his cans and smash them.

In Qizhou, he fought to the end with the royal army.

Instead of this, it is better to make the Nanliang monarchs and officials in Xiangcheng nervous, and keep issuing edicts to urge Xiao Cheng to return.

However, just surrounding Xiangcheng is not enough.

They can’t do nothing, they always want to frighten and frighten the Nanliang monarchs and ministers in the courtiers.

Therefore, he decided to continue pretending to attack the city, so that the Nanliang monarchs and ministers in the city felt that Nanliang would fall at any time.

While Xiangcheng was besieged by the decree, a group of cavalry escorted the eunuch who read out the imperial decree, and went to Qizhou day and night.

Three days later, the team arrived in Lucheng.

On this day, Xiao Cheng was discussing with the generals of the Allied Army against Yan and Ying about marching northward.

Soldiers from Wu State and Nanping State arrived successively.

The time has come for a decisive battle with King Yan.

When the imperial decree arrived, he immediately returned to his other courtyard in Lucheng.

When the eunuch read out the imperial decree, Xiao Cheng’s complexion changed drastically.

“General, please lead the troops back immediately to relieve the danger of Xiangcheng, otherwise Nanliang will be in danger.” The eunuch urged with an eager look.

Guertu is also there at the moment.

However, he is not a courtier of Nanliang, so he just listens to the letter.

“Qinzhou, Yongzhou and Xiaoguan are all lost!” He was terrified.

This is equivalent to cutting off all the roads to Beidi, and 100,000 Beidi cavalry were trapped in Dasong.

If this news spreads among his army, the soldiers will probably go crazy.

Unable to return to the grassland, they became orphans without a home.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the generals of the Dou family in the yard, and saw the generals of the Dou family all looking at him, waiting for his order.

That gaze clearly told him that he should return to Nanliang immediately.

Xiao Cheng frowned. Most of the 200,000 soldiers who went to Qizhou this time were soldiers from the Dou family.

If he resists the edict and refuses to comply, these generals of the Dou family will not spare him lightly.

Unexpectedly, King Yan’s real killing move is here, and Xiangcheng smiled three times in admiration.

Then his eyes narrowed, “But if you think that you can destroy the powerful families in the world, it’s too simple.”

Then he said to Guertu: “Great King Guertu, are you going to Beidi or not? ”

“As soon as your Nanliang soldiers and horses left, the soldiers of the Allied Forces of Yan were distracted and gave a fart, of course they left.” Gu Ertu snorted angrily, “Why is this King Yan so difficult to deal with!” After finishing speaking, the

two looked at each other , looking at each other silently.

that night.

I can’t see my fingers.

The Nanliang and Beidi soldiers and horses stationed outside the city of Lu quietly left the camp.

At the same time, Xiao Cheng sent a letter to Han Zheng.

He left the stronghold secretly, because he was worried that Han Zheng would be angry and prevent them from returning to Nanliang.

Sending a letter to Han Zheng is to carry out the emperor’s order, inviting soldiers from the Han family and Xie family to Xiangcheng to assist in the battle.

The palace bedroom.

Han Zheng was sleeping soundly.

He had never slept so peacefully since the Allied Forces of Yan Yan arrived.

At this moment, a burst of panic footsteps woke him up.

The imperial eunuch entered his bedroom holding a letter.

“Your Majesty, it’s too bad! The Nanliang soldiers and horses left the stronghold, saying that they wanted to rush to help Xiangcheng.”

Han Zheng felt numb as if he had been electrocuted.

With trembling hands, he tore open the letter, from beginning to end, he almost died of anger.

Gasping for breath, he suddenly cursed, “Dou Wei, you old man, when you replaced your son with the third prince, I knew you were an unreliable bastard. Now, you betrayed us again for your own self-interest. From now on, I I will never live with you.”

Then, he cursed again: “Let us guard Xiangcheng, who will guard Lucheng for me? Go and dream about it!”

After cursing, he tore the letter to pieces, Howling.

Aida Taro, who fled to Lucheng, brought news that Dongying’s warships might be wiped out by King Yan’s fleet.

The allied army of Yan Yan has lost its arm, and now the soldiers and horses of Nanliang and cavalry of Beidi have withdrawn again, how can this battle be fought?

After a while, he scolded the king of Yan for being despicable and shameless for

not daring to fight the Yan-challenging coalition head-on, and set up a situation to disintegrate the Yan-challenging coalition.

After venting for a while, he lay down on the bed.

Early tomorrow morning, the Xie family, the Liang family and the Fan family will all know that the Nanliang soldiers and horses have withdrawn.

How will they react then?

Without the help of Nanliang and Beidi cavalry, can they defeat King Yan?

Thinking of these, his thoughts became chaotic.

Next, he really didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said to the eunuch: “Invite Lord Sato here immediately, I have something important to discuss with him.”

Two chapters tonight, to be added tomorrow.
