Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Chapter 222 Duke Qi is worth more while alive than dead

Since ancient times in China, there are many examples of the weak defeating the strong and the few defeating the many.

However, those classic battles are all possible to succeed only when they occupy the right time, place and people, and are blessed by many aspects and special circumstances.

The two armies met and were defeated head-on?
About a hundred miles to the east of the capital, there happened to be a plain. It used to be a prosperous official road, but now it is filled with a sense of murder and blood.

Looking around, all I could see was a mess, and the sound of wailing was everywhere. It was completely a scene after the flames of war. The blood almost stained the loess under the feet, and even the air was infested with a strong smell of blood.

"General, except for a small number of defeated soldiers who fled, the rest have been dealt with!"

There were corpses all over the ground, and I saw a young man riding on a tall horse, wearing a heroic armor, and a silver gun in his hand was even stained with blood. The various wounds on the silver armor also told the world that this silver gun and silver armor Young general, what a fierce battle he experienced not long ago.

"How about our casualties?"

General Yinjia was none other than Ling Wei, his eyes were as calm as water.

It seemed that the tragic fight that had just passed was meaningless to him.

Looking at the huge battlefield in front of him, he asked in a calm voice.

There are several lieutenants by his side, two of them are his bodyguards since childhood, Ling Heng and Ling Ha.

"Major General, the inventory has been completed. A total of 790 people were injured, of which 310 people were seriously injured but their lives were not affected."

Ling Heng cupped his hands and reported the whole result of the battle. To be honest, even he felt a little unbelievable at the moment. After he finished speaking, Ling Ha directly showed shock, "Brother, are you sure you did the calculation correctly?"

"I went there in person, how could I make a mistake!"

Ling Hun glared at his younger brother, but then he continued, "The result of this battle is simply astonishing, and my subordinates never expected that the major general's battle would be so smooth!"

You know, they set out from Jiangdong all the way under the order of King Shou. Wherever 1 people traveled lightly, they encountered almost no resistance.

Those governors of the state either closed the city gates tightly, or opened the city gates to welcome them.

There are also a few Jiedu envoys who avoid their edge, the reason is clear to everyone in the world, the situation in the court is not clear now, and some fools don't want to express their opinions easily for the time being.

Then 1 people came to the border 150 miles away from the capital, and finally encountered some resistance.

In the end, what they met head-on was the [-] forbidden troops in the capital!
1 horses!
Meet 5 horses!

There is a huge disparity of one to five troops, especially in the plains. Even if they have [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry this time, it stands to reason that they should not face the enemy head-on.

But who would have thought?
"Isn't that why our major general is so brave?"

Ling Ha laughed and said, Ling Hum is rare that he didn't refute his younger brother. For the two brothers, his major general is indeed a god, and the two ancestors are also descendants of the Huo family. It can be said that they are blind to the Huo family. worship.

"Indeed, the major general led the army well, and this sudden surprise attack also caught the opponent by surprise!"

Ling Heng nodded, and at the same time couldn't help muttering, "Speaking of it, everyone said that the imperial guards in the capital are the best in the world, but I didn't expect to find out that they were so vulnerable when we actually fought. Even if we were surprised, it would be too useless, right? "

It was also rare for him to say so many words. This battle was really amazing and dazzling!
"Haha, when the report of this battle spreads all over the world, the Major General will definitely become famous all over the world!"

The two brothers grew up with Ling Wei, and they also wanted to help the Huo family to make a comeback, so naturally they all wanted Ling Wei to rise. They used to be petty in the arena, and no matter how famous they were, it was useless.

However, today's battle can predict how big waves will be set off in the entire Central Plains.

Under the praise of the two, Ling Wei did not see much joy, not only did he not feel complacent, but even his expression and eyes did not change.

He just glanced at the battlefield lightly, then pulled the reins, and said in a calm tone, "Count the soldiers and horses, and continue to march towards the capital!"

"promise!"

The two brothers quickly responded, but Ling Hun still asked a lot, "But Major General, the soldiers have just gone through a big battle, should we join up with His Highness's troops first, now we are only less than a hundred miles away from the capital. "

"Brother, what are you panicking about? These imperial guards are just putting on airs. The major general wants to go straight to the capital and kill the crown prince and the old thief Guo Peng!"

Ling Ha looked excited, because he hadn't enjoyed it yet, the previous battle was too easy, not enough at all!
"No, march thirty miles, and then set up camp!"

However, Ling Wei shook his head. He didn't intend to attack the capital in one go. Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two, he just said indifferently, "Don't underestimate the imperial army. The reason why today's battle went smoothly is not because the imperial army is incompetent."

"Did the Major General think too highly of them?"

Ling Ha was puzzled, but Ling Heng understood, "Indeed, we were caught by surprise today, and it was also the Duke of Qi who underestimated the enemy. He didn't expect that our army would take the initiative to attack after the attack. Besides, the capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With 3 Imperial Guards and Guo Peng's [-]-odd troops stationed there, a strong attack is not the best policy at this moment!"

"The Forbidden Army is indeed elite, but it's a pity that the leader of the army is incompetent!"

Ling Wei nodded. Even if there was a big victory, he would not blindly lead his troops to face risks. Moreover, he knew very well that today's victory was due to many factors. It is a surprise attack that can win, and the price we pay will not be small."

With [-] soldiers and horses facing [-] elite forbidden troops, even if they have surprise attack tactics, but with so many famous generals since ancient times, who dares to say that they can wipe out tens of thousands of enemies, but they only injured less than a thousand people?
Tell it, no one will believe it!
"Those liquid medicines from His Highness the Sixth Prince are really miraculous!"

Both Ling Heng and Ling Ha couldn't help nodding their heads approvingly, it was too fierce, and the ordinary soldiers below could fight five or even ten at a time, so it was completely one-sided from the beginning of the battle.

The key point was that the morale on their side was like a rainbow, and they were completely blinded by the [-] forbidden troops.

"Major General, it's a pity that we only have 1 horses. If we have 3 horses, maybe we can directly attack the capital!"

It took more than an hour to count the battlefield, and the final result was that more than 1 enemies were killed and more than [-] people were captured. The results are amazing!

Then the Pioneer Battalion marched for [-] miles, and finally set up camp at the mouth of the most important canyon outside the capital.

And here is also the most important checkpoint in and out of the west of the entire capital!
Why is such an important checkpoint unguarded?
Very simple.

No one thought that Qi Guogong led [-] troops, and he was the most elite imperial army, would be defeated in the first battle, and no one thought that he would not leave any troops to garrison here.

Everything is beyond the expectations of the world.

Winning the checkpoint is equivalent to having the capital in your hands.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend!

At the same time, news about this battle spread even more rapidly.

Spread it all over the world!

For a time, all the forces in the Central Plains who received the news reacted extremely unanimously!
Shocked and unbelievable!

The world was in an uproar!
The name of Ling Wei became famous throughout the Central Plains in a short period of time.

……

"Your Highness, General Ling has been waiting for a long time."

After hearing the battle report from the front line, Li Changshou directly brought a few people to the Lingwei Pioneer Battalion camp that night.

After all, [-] soldiers and horses can't arrive so quickly, but he can arrive in a few hours in person.

There were only a dozen or so guards from the Imperial City Division beside him, and there was also a woman following, who was none other than An Huixuan, the master of Xianmen.

"Is he still there?"

There was naturally a reason why Li Changshou came here in person.

His target is the Duke of Qi, the uncle of Li Cheng, who is now usurping the throne and enthroned as an enemy, is also the brother of the late former empress, and the son of the former Duke of Qi.

"Still!"

In the vanguard camp, there are also people from the Imperial City Division.

Ling Wei was well aware of this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, the generals of all dynasties were away, and there were supervisors by their side. As Li Changshou's personal guard, the Imperial City Secretary was naturally responsible for all of this.

Soon a group of people came to one of the tents, and as soon as they approached, they could hear the anger coming from inside.

"I am the Duke of the state, after meritorious service, you and other rebellious officials and thieves will die!"

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw a person tied to a wooden stake, blood-stained all over, and the brocade robe on his body was torn. It was obvious that he had been tortured and tortured before Li Changshou came.

Seeing someone coming in, the people inside reacted differently.

The person tied to the stake was Duke Qi. When he looked up and saw who was coming in, his eyes widened, and he immediately shouted, "King Shou! I have been captured, and you have no right to be convicted!"

Inside, apart from the Duke of Qi who was tied to the stake, there were only Ling Wei and the two guards beside him. Seeing Li Changshou coming in, Ling Wei put down the instrument of torture in his hands, bowed his hands, and said, "I have seen Your Highness!"

Ling Ha and Ling Heng also hurried forward to salute, and at the same time, their faces were slightly worried.

After all, it was their major general who decided to punish Qi Guogong this time.

"Have you asked anything?"

Li Changshou waved his hand, instead of blaming Ling Wei for torture in private, he even asked with a smile.

This made Ling Heng and Ling Ha a little confused, but Ling Wei obviously knew what Li Changshou was asking, and shook his head when he heard this, "He is very strict."

"That means that your torture is not enough. You are watching what Gu is doing. Go on, just keep your breath."

Li Changshou shook his head lightly, and with a wave of his hand, someone moved a chair behind him, and he just sat down and prepared to watch the play.

Such an attitude directly made Qi Guogong dumbfounded.

He stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe it, and then saw Ling Wei turned around to continue the torture, he panicked and shouted quickly, "Wait!"

"Want to explain?"

Li Changshou asked with a smile.

He is very clear about Ling Wei's obsession. This kid is deeply concerned about the destruction of the Huo family, and his obsession in this life is to reverse the Huo family's injustice, and Qi Guogong was one of the black hands behind the scenes.

Now that he has been arrested, it is impossible to let him go.

"What exactly do you want! I am the Duke of Qi! I am the uncle of the current emperor! Even if the army is defeated and arrested, don't you want to use me to negotiate terms with His Majesty?"

Duke Qi is not afraid of death?

He was terrified of death!

Ling Wei hesitated for a while, but Li Changshou laughed out loud, "Do Duke Qi think you are worth that much?"

Don't say a word, Qi Guogong was stunned, even Ling Wei frowned and was a little puzzled.

Even if the crown prince usurps the throne, Duke Qi is indeed his uncle, and it's impossible to use him to negotiate terms without any value, but Li Changshou obviously didn't care about what he said.

"Li Changshou, what do you mean by that?!"

Duke Qi's face was pale and weak, he suppressed his fear and asked.

Li Changshou waved his hand, signaling for everyone else to leave, but Ling Wei hesitated, and let Ling Heng and Ling Ha go out too.

All of a sudden, there were only three people present, and at this moment Li Changshou said lightly, "Qi Guogong thinks, does Guo Peng want you to live, or does he want to see you die?"
