Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Hu Yingzi left happily after hearing Hou Yao's promise, and Hou Yao also showed a happy smile on his face.

Chen Junnan was already full of doubts: "Why do I feel like Yingzi has been sold by you and I'm still counting the money for you?"

Hou Yao looked at Chen Junnan with a strange look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense. I am kind-hearted to help your wife avenge her. I have contributed money and effort, and I haven't asked you for any hard work yet."

Chen Junnan had a look of disbelief on his face: "But the smile you just smiled was definitely... you used to smile like this every time when your plot succeeded. You didn't really trick Yingzi, did you?"

Hou Yao glanced at Chen Junnan with disdain: "Brother, I really regard you as my senior brother. You are one of my own. When did you see me cheating my own family?"

Chen Junnan said disgustedly: "Didn't you trick my junior sister into giving birth to children out of wedlock? Now she doesn't even have the status of a mistress."

Hou Yao was speechless for a moment, but can you blame him for this? It's all the fault of that damn Ji Honghe, the old immortal who just refused to nod and would rather let the princess lose her reputation than let them go.

With Ji Wenjun standing in the way, how could he have the nerve to marry Yu Xiuer?

Alas, I don’t know how to solve this problem.

Of course, the most irritating person is Ji Qizhen.

In fact, an eldest brother is like a father. If he had his heart, even if he didn't know Ji Honghe's living situation in those two years, he could have made the decision to get them married. After all, they had already given birth to children.

But he never mentioned it. Except for asking about Ji Wenjun's unmarried birth, he didn't mention it at all after that.

If Ji Wenjun was just a girl from an ordinary family, she wouldn't have so much trouble. At most, it would be fine without a matchmaker.

But she happened to be born in the royal family, and she still has a great reputation. If this really spreads, how will the people in the world regard it.

Despite the fact that Ji Wenjun and Hou Yao had an illegitimate child, many people seemed to know about it, but no one dared to talk nonsense about it. That was really a matter of beheading.

Now everyone just keeps silent on this matter tacitly.

"Oh, I will solve this matter sooner or later."

……

Outside Xiangyang City

Gao Xiaosong's [-] new Shenji battalion troops equipped with flintlock muskets, and [-] elite troops from the Beijing battalion stormed the King of Chu's broken naval formation.

Although the King of Chu only has [-] Po Haijun, Po Haijun is worthy of being an elite who has traveled all over the world for decades, and his fighting will and tactics are among the best in the world.

He just relied on matchlock guns and tactical coordination to fight Gao Xiaosong's men inextricably.

"Li Rubai, what happened to the right wing you commanded? Why did it collapse at the first touch? There was such a good opportunity just now to defeat the opponent's central army. Just because of the defeat of your right wing, our family had to pay for the retreat. How can you still bear the death of your father? Are you dissatisfied and want revenge?"

Li Rubai trembled like chaff: "Eunuch Gao, please calm down. Wei Jiang really didn't know that the soldiers in the Beijing camp were so boastful that they couldn't even form a spear formation. Just now, Wei Jiang saw the obvious advantage in the middle and planned to help the father-in-law, so he ordered They rushed forward in a hurry, but they didn’t expect that they would even disperse the gun formation.”

Gao Xiaosong also knew that the Beijing camp was not up to par, but there were not enough troops, so what could he do.

There are 20 soldiers in the Beijing camp, 10 are empty, [-] are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the remaining [-] have all been brought out by him.

Those who can serve as soldiers in the capital camp will not be untouchables. They must be civilians at the minimum. Civilians are people who own houses and property in the capital.

Not to mention wealthy families, at least they must be from well-off families in order to be called civilians. Children raised by such families become soldiers just to have a stable job without any risks. Who would have thought that they would actually go to the battlefield? day.

Before King Pohai attacked the capital, the capital had been peaceful for more than 100 years, and everyone had long forgotten what war was like.

Not to mention the soldiers of the Beijing Camp, even the emperor never thought that one day he would be used in the Beijing Camp.

Li Rubai is Li Liang's youngest son. He went to the battlefield with Li Liang at the age of 12 and is also an experienced battlefield general.

Now Li Liang lost his military power after surrendering, but in order to appease people's hearts, the King of Zhou still used several of his sons.

That's why Li Rubai was asked to follow Gao Xiaosong to attack Xiangyang this time.

Li Rubai was used to leading border troops, so he never expected that the famous Beijing camp would be so overwhelmed that it could not even perform a basic formation charge.

"Okay, after all, it's because you're not familiar with the situation in Beijing Camp. This is your first offense, so let's leave it at that. If you still make such mistakes tomorrow, our family will definitely deal with it under military law."

Li Rubai accepted the order respectfully and said, "Yes, thank you Eunuch Gao for your understanding."

Gao Xiaosong nodded: "Step back."

"Yes……."

After Li Rubai exited the camp, Gao Xiaosong held his forehead and sighed in his heart.

He is just a eunuch. He should have enjoyed peace and happiness in the palace, but in the end he was forced to lead troops to attack the city.

However, thinking that Shui Heshun, who was just like him, was now doing the prime minister's job, he couldn't help but feel a little more balanced.

The King of Zhou did not trust the ministers who opened the city gate to Po Haijun at all, and only trusted the internal servants, so now the power of the country is basically controlled by the internal servants.

However, there are not many capable servants, so mistakes are common.

Now Gao Xiaosong is actually worried about whether King Zhou can make it to the end.

Through this period of observation, he has discovered that there are too many crises in the imperial city.

However, the King of Zhou now held a national talent show and filled the palace with famous and beautiful maids. He himself was in love with women all day long and had no interest in political affairs.

Now that the enemy has not been eliminated, he is already acting like this. Can he really have the last laugh?

But besides King Zhou, who can have the last laugh?

King Zhou is the younger brother of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is Hou Tianzong’s wife. If the Wu Gang is such a big tree, who in the world can be their opponent?

King Tao?

A name appeared in Gao Xiaosong's mind involuntarily.

King Yin seems to have pacified the rebellion in Burma, and also pacified the entire Indochina Peninsula in one go. But what kind of strength does he have to pacify the Indochina Peninsula?

Battle of Guangzhou.

Her Royal Highness Princess Wenjun?

Hou Yao, the magistrate of Baoan County?

Could there be some connection between them?

King Xin had been involved with Hou Yao before. With the current strength of Bao'an County, if King Xin really had Hou Yao to help him, it would be a matter of time before he returned to the capital.

But I think Hou Yao is a genius, arrogant, unruly and unruly. He is not a person who wants to live under others for a long time. How can he really sacrifice his life for King Xi?

Although the private army in Bao'an County uses the name of Princess Wenjun, they can still deceive fools who have never been to Bao'an County.

Who doesn't know that Hou Yao in Bao'an County has already covered the sky with one hand. He didn't transfer his grandson back because he was worried that he would be disobedient, but he didn't expect that the situation would get out of control so much later.

Now that we haven't contacted him for so long, the godson probably has no choice but to surrender to Hou Yao.

If we don't surrender, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save our lives.

But even if Hou Yao rebelled, he might not be able to secure his position as emperor.

People in Daxia are relatively stable at the moment. Even if there is such a big turmoil in the royal family, there are still a few people who dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

It can be seen that the Daxia court has not lost the support of the people. While the imperial power is still there, there is almost no possibility of success in rebellion.

Gao Xiaosong rubbed his temples.

He really didn't know what to do in the current situation.

"Report to the Governor and report on the horse inspection. An unidentified group of people was found in the south of Xiangyang. According to intelligence analysis, it may be the vanguard of King Tan's army."

Gao Xiaosong was immediately surprised: "King Xian actually transferred to Xiangyang. It seems that he wants to fight with clams and cranes, and the fisherman will benefit. Okay, I understand, you can go ahead."

After the messengers retreated, he meditated on the battlefield map again.

King Yin is claiming to be the late emperor. It is hard to say whether the late emperor is alive or dead? It would be okay if it was fake, but if it were real...

Our family surrendered to Prince Ning in front of the late emperor. If the late emperor's little chicken intestines fell into his hands, I'm afraid he would die without a complete body...

From this point of view, King Tan may not be able to succeed our family. In that case, it is better to...

Our family will also give them a..., a scene where the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind?

……

King Tan's Military Camp

"Your Highness, General Liu Wei, the vanguard, has reported that the puppet king's army has not discovered their whereabouts and is still launching a fierce attack on Xiangyang City."

"Okay, the vanguard has not been discovered, which proves that the war is anxious and neither side has time to worry about it. It seems that we have a great chance to make a profit. General Zhu, what do you think? Whether we can quickly pacify the world depends on our ability We cannot capture the main force of the Puppet King’s army in one battle.”

Zhu Liang'ao pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, General Wei feels that we should make another observation. The puppet king's general is Gao Xiaosong. He knows soldiers. There will be no sentries before attacking the city. He shouldn't know how to do it." Making such a stupid mistake.”

At this time, Narixuan said: "According to previous spies' reports, the Puppet King's army's attack on the city only started yesterday, and the two armies have been fighting in the countryside before. Perhaps it is for this reason that they did not send out sentries widely?"

King Tan nodded: "Although Gao Xiaosong knows military skills, he leads the Feiyu Guards and the Shenji Battalion. These special armies can fight small-scale battles, but they are far from enough to fight a large army. What's more, we are now Using flintlocks and artillery, it was easy to deal with them.”

Zhu Liangao stopped talking. He would not argue with others unless he was completely sure.

Although there are doubts about the current situation, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that everything is covered.

Even if Gao Xiaosong is experienced in wars, there is no guarantee that he will make mistakes, especially in this kind of evenly matched stalemate war, where the final decision of victory is often based on the commander making fewer mistakes.

Seeing this, King Zhu Liangao looked at Chen Kun again.

"What does General Chen think? Can our army defeat the main force of the puppet king in one fell swoop now?"

Chen Kun clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "I have no objection, as long as you let me kill you to your heart's content...Tsk, tsk, tsk...kill, kill, kill."

A gust of cold air instantly rushed from the soles of everyone's feet to the Tianling Cap.

Everyone invariably thought of a scene. Chen Kun rushed into the enemy formation, killed himself until he was covered in blood, and then rushed out again, like a demon from hell.

King Xin couldn't help but trembled, and he regretted asking this question.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's attack with the whole army. Narixuan, I order you to lead the army and attack from the front when the two armies are attacking the city."

"I will not obey the order."

"Zhu Liang'ao and Chen Kun, you two will lead the escort team and go around the enemy's formation from the alley. After the main army engages in the battle, you will sneak attack on the enemy general. You must kill the commander and seize the flag...".
