Cannot attack objects

Chapter 165

The development of the matter was as Princess Dachang expected. The triumphant advance of the Mianzhou army was finally frustrated in Chenzhou. Not only was the loss of soldiers and horses and time wasted, but the second son of King Fu, Xiao Chengyi, was shot by arrows on the battlefield. In the process, almost lost half of his life.

When the time advanced to July, and the Mianzhou army spent half a month outside Chenzhou City, Princess Dachang finally approached King Fu again, and said rather euphemistically: "Brother Wang, we have stayed in Chenzhou for too long. And Chenzhou City Gao Loujian, and troops from other prefectures came to help, if this continues, I'm afraid, like King Jing'an, they will be blocked outside a city, no matter how difficult it is to advance."

King Fu certainly didn't want to see such a situation, not to mention Xiao Chengyi's injury on the battlefield really shocked him.Perhaps because he had escaped the chaotic and dangerous seizure of the heir apparent, and because he lived too comfortably these years, Fu Wang was born lacking in the spirit of adventure and valued his children very much, so he finally compromised and transferred Mianzhou The command of the army was temporarily handed over to Wu Changjun, who had always performed well.

Of course, Xiao Chengyi was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, but Xiao Chenglian had to stay by Wu Changjun's side all the time, after all, the Mianzhou Army was their greatest reliance.Even if the eldest princess couldn't be snatched away, she couldn't be easily destroyed, but Fu Wang was not so heartless as to hand it over directly.

Then there was a great turning point in the battle situation. Wu Changjun took the lead, and Xu Wenjin was behind him with all kinds of clever tricks. Chenzhou City, which seemed to be unbreakable, was conquered within three days.The morale of the Mianzhou Army, which had been slightly depressed due to the unfavorable battle, quickly recovered, and after this hard battle, the victory was even more imposing.

Probably because of the comparison between the hardships in the first half month and the smoothness in the last three days, Wu Changjun was in the limelight in the Mianzhou army for a while, and his prestige was also erected unconsciously.

Naturally, Fu Wang would not be indifferent to this, so in the next march, he also began to use means to win over Wu Changjun.

Although Zhong Shao knew that it was impossible for Wu Changjun to be wooed, he was puzzled seeing the eldest princess still calm and relaxed, so he asked, "Aniang doesn't seem to be worried at all that Mr. Wu will be kidnapped by King Fu." win over?"

The Eldest Princess was looking at the newly sent news, but she didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard the words: "He won't be wooed, why should I worry? Taking a step back, what if he is wooed?"

Wu Changjun was able to give up his original official position to become a riding and archer for Zhong Shao, which proved that he was not attached to power, and seeing that Zhong Shao was in trouble and escaped from the customs, he would never leave him, which shows that he is very affectionate .The eldest princess doesn't think that the friendship between him and Zhong Shao for so many years will not be able to withstand King Fu's win over, not to mention she can also see that Zhong Shao is not worried that Wu Changjun will betray him.

This topic is really meaningless to talk about. After the eldest princess said this lightly, she handed the letter paper in her hand to Zhong Shao and said, "Instead of worrying about it, let's take a look at this first."

Zhong Shao took the letter paper and glanced at it for a few times, his expression became serious, and after reading it, he said: "Xiao Qian is preparing for the imperial conquest?"

The eldest princess nodded and said: "He has never been on the battlefield, but in terms of his temperament, he will not be willing to sit in Anyang City and wait for news. This time the Seven Kings' rebellion is too big, and he will sooner or later Leaving the capital to supervise the battle." After talking for a while, he glanced at Zhong Shao again, and then said: "And when he leaves the capital, he must come for us."

The Mianzhou army is only [-], which sounds like a lot, but it is really nothing compared to the imperial army.In fact, the garrison of each vassal king's fiefdom is not enough to fight against the imperial court, even if their private soldiers are added, because the income of the vassal land is limited, and the number of private soldiers that can be raised is also limited.If there hadn't been such a big commotion this time, and the seven kings came out together, the rebellion would have been quelled long ago.

If Emperor Jing Yuan's imperial conquest came directly at them, then the Mianzhou army would face the main force of the imperial army, and one can imagine how difficult it would be.What's more, Xiao Qian originally wanted to put the eldest princess to death. If the Mianzhou army was defeated, the fate of the eldest princess and the others can be imagined. Even Zhong Shao didn't think that Xiao Qian was the attacker and would let him go.

Feeling a little heavy suddenly, Zhong Shao frowned and said, "If that's the case, the Mianzhou army might be alone. A Niang, should we also contact the other feudal lords?"

The Eldest Princess didn't panic, she still calmly said, "No rush, just wait and see."

************************************************** **********

Even if she left Anyang, Xiao Qian could not easily eradicate Princess Dachang's power in the capital, so she had her own news channel, and she was the first to know about Xiao Qian's plan to conquest.

King Fu has been away from Beijing for many years, and his control in Beijing is far inferior to that of Princess Dachang, so he got the news two days later than Princess Dachang.At that time, the imperial conquest had also become a settlement, and around the time they received the news, the imperial conquest team of Emperor Jing Yuan had already left Beijing.

In this regard, King Fu was a little flustered, and hastily found the eldest princess to discuss the matter: "Xiao Qian is going to go on a personal conquest. If my prediction is correct, he must bring at least [-] of the [-] Xuanjia troops outside Anyang City. Coupled with the garrisons of the state capitals along the way... Yingyang, if we fight alone, our troops may not be enough to deal with it."

The Xuanjia Army stationed outside the city of Anyang are all elites, unlike the Forbidden Army Habayashi where the nobles gather and have never seen blood, when the Xuanjia Army was formed, they were all soldiers who had fought for a long time on the battlefield, and the leaders were even veterans , Needless to say, the combat effectiveness.The [-] Xuanjia army is already able to defeat his [-] Mianzhou army. What's more, the loss of troops and horses is now less than [-]. There is no chance of winning against the Xuanjia army, let alone the subsequent Garrison troops from all over the world!

King Fu panicked, because he knew that the eldest princess was with him, and Xiao Qianyu's personal conquest must be the first one to come for him.For the first time, he complained a little, complaining about why the eldest princess was here with him, but he completely forgot his previous happiness and delusion.

The eldest princess saw it, and there was a rare flash of disgust and contempt in her eyes, but her face was calm: "Brother Wang, don't panic, it's better for Xiao Qian to come with fifty thousand Xuanjia troops than to stay in Anyang and be killed by a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops." The Armored Army protects it."

Now that ambition has arisen, such a duel is a matter of time. Could it be that the Mianzhou army really attacked Anyang, so they don't have to face the Xuanjia army defending the capital?King Fu had already dispatched troops and wanted to get the greatest benefit, but now he was acting so panicked and uneasy, which made the eldest princess look down on him even more.

King Fu frowned when he heard the words, he said: "Now that the Seven Kings are dispatching troops, I thought we would join forces to attack Anyang in the end. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian could not sit still..."

The eldest princess frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Wang has this plan, the kings must be the same. It's better to spread the news and unite the kings to fight against the imperial army. It's better than spreading out and being defeated one by one. .”

King Fu felt reasonable after hearing this. In fact, he originally planned to do so.Among the kings, he is the only one who is the ancestor and son of the ancestors, so he has the title of prince, and with the help of the Eldest Princess, even if he does not have the most troops, he is still the most advantageous among the kings.What's more, the loss of his Mianzhou army must be the least in this way of attacking the city. Even if King Jing'an and the others sent more troops than others, it is not necessarily the case now.

The two discussed a few more words, and King Fu hurriedly edited a few letters and sent them to the kings who raised their troops.

Because of the geographical location, the seven kings did not join forces before. They led their troops to do their own thing, and only unified the goal to think about the Anyang Raiders. Now that Xiao Qian wants to march in person, if he goes all the way south, the first person he will meet will be the King of Yingchuan or Yiyang. king.In addition, King Jing'an and King Fu, who were originally closest to Mianzhou, sent out these letters, intending to unite the three kings first.

If the four kings join forces, they should be able to gather 30 troops, and they will be full of confidence when facing the imperial army brought by Xiao Qian.

Compared with King Fu, the news of other kings will not be too slow, so after receiving the letter from King Fu, the few people only hesitated for a while, and then quickly decided to join forces to deal with Emperor Jing Yuan's personal conquest .

After that, the kings no longer pushed the battle line to Anyang in the north, but quickly moved closer to Chenzhou, where the Mianzhou Army was located.By mid-July, King Yingchuan and King Yiyang had each led their troops. Only King Jing'an was the first to raise troops and was overtaken by the Mianzhou Army.

If this is the case, there are 20 soldiers and horses in Yingchuan, Yiyang, and Mianzhou combined.Facing the imperial army brought by Xiao Qian's personal conquest, not to mention the chance of winning, he already has the strength to fight.Seeing this, King Fu finally felt relieved.

It's just that before the army led by Xiao Qian arrived, the coalition forces of the Three Kings started to fight for the command right.

The eldest princess looked at the three kings who were fighting for power, and smiled contemptuously. She didn't intend to listen any more, but Shi Shiran got up and left the meeting hall, leaving behind a hustle and bustle.

Zhong Shao naturally followed the eldest princess, and she has been doing this since she joined the Mianzhou army. Mo and Concubine Gui can also tear her apart.

Before leaving the conference hall, Zhong Shao glanced back at the three kings who were arguing endlessly, and then she said worriedly after leaving the conference hall: "People's hearts are not in harmony, if the imperial army really arrives, in order to preserve their respective strengths, I'm afraid they will all avoid fighting. The 20 army will be defeated at the touch of a button. Aniang, I'm a little worried..."

Compared with the three kings, the Eldest Princess actually only has a hundred soldiers around her. If the battle goes against them, they will easily fall into danger, especially Xiao Qian's target is on them.

The eldest princess was still calm and relaxed, she didn't even bother to look at the meeting room behind her, but she didn't explain more to Zhong Shao, she just said lightly: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Zhong Shao felt a little relieved, but also a little anxious—why didn't he tell her anything!
