Chapter 489: 488: The enemy is at the gate, defend without attacking



When Si Han learned that his adopted uncle had taken advantage of his absence from the capital to plot a rebellion, used harsh means to suppress those officials who opposed him, and proclaimed himself king and sat on the throne, he was so angry that his eyes were about to burst.

Because he was angry about An Xin's escape, he was preparing to lead his men to attack Daqian Jibei, let the woman know his own advantages and disadvantages, and then take her back.

He has declared war on Yuchi Yi, who is guarding the northern border of Hebei.

For the time being, he could only suppress the idea of ​​going back to deal with Taiwei Gu Mingde, first take down Daqian, and then go back and skin his uncle alive.

Yuchi Yi was wearing silver armor, standing on the high city wall, looking down at his superior with cold eyes.

"You little brats in the city, why don't you come out and die quickly? I'll spare your bodies for the sake of your youth..."

Outside the city wall of Jibei, a man with a sharp tongue came out from the enemy camp and started to challenge.

You looked up and saw that the people on the city wall were indifferent. You, a man who was challenging others like a man cut by a knife, were obviously dissatisfied.

The words used to challenge him were even more harsh.

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards, why are you leading troops or fighting a war? You might as well go home and drink milk..."

"General." They were all hot-blooded soldiers. Being bullied like this, some of them tightly grasped their weapons, shouting at their own general with anger in their eyes, "Let me go meet that bastard and smash his mouth."

Yuchi Yi looked at the general who was asking for permission to leave with his eyes as cold as stars.

Facing his clear and sharp gaze, the anger aroused by the enemy slowly cooled down.

The general scratched the back of his head, a trace of regret flashed across his face. He knew that the people he sent out had collected information about the countries that had been conquered by Si Han.

Some of them were because some people in their own army lost their patience and gave the other side the opportunity to open the city gates, allowing the enemy to capture their own city in one fell swoop.

Make such a low-level mistake.

Yuchi Yi retracted his gaze and continued to look at the people behind Si Han, holding strange weapons in their hands.

He knew that these were the soldiers of the Fire Gun Battalion that made other countries tremble in fear.

This is also the reason why Si Han was able to conquer those countries in such a short time.

Fortunately, he listened to his teacher.

When Si Han sent people to declare war and provoke, he chose to defend himself within his own city walls and did not get provoked to go out of the city to fight.

Otherwise, if I were to make the same mistake as the generals of other countries and underestimate the enemy.

If he could not bear their provocation and insults and led the city defenders out of the city to fight, he would probably be shot into a sieve by the muskets in those people's hands, and killed instantly by the gloomy bastard and his men.

At this moment, on the city wall, Bai Yuheng, Su Yanqiu, Li Qianhui, Xuanyuan He, and the Xi brothers, who were rescued by Zheng Xiaoling and Gao Tai and stayed in Jibei to recuperate, are still on the city wall.

They were also shocked and stunned by the power of the weapons that Si Han's men swept at them as if in demonstration.

Originally, I thought that Yuchi Yi was being challenged and scolded, but he didn't send troops to fight him. I also felt that he was too cowardly and too heartless as the commander defending the city.

At this moment, seeing the bullet holes on the city wall from such a long distance, I realized how correct Yuchi Yi's decision was not to send troops to fight.

Bai Yuheng and his group glared at the city below, their eyes filled with deep hatred.

They did not choose to return to their country in time this time. In addition to recuperating in Jibei, they also learned that their country had been conquered by Si Han.

Most of those who resisted Si Han's rule over their country have been killed, and the remaining spineless ones have surrendered.

Even if they go back, they will become slaves of a conquered country. It is better for them to stay here and see if there is a chance to unite with the people of Daqian and restore their country.

Yuchi Yi was not affected by the emotions of those around him. He was a natural general with strong opinions of his own.

Knowing clearly that letting a general lead his troops out to fight is a death wish, only a stupid general would do that.

Yuchi Yi thought he was quite sane, so he listened to his teacher and continued to hide in the high and thick city walls of northern Hebei, keeping his troops in place, watching the situation and looking for an opportunity to turn the tide in this battle where the weapons were unequal in strength.

Jibei Sihan and Yuchi Yi were confronting each other in a battle of wits and courage.

After a bloody battle, the capital of Daqian returned to being the orderly, clean and glorious imperial city it once was.

Kong Xun and Li Ziyu learned that An Xin was injured in Beiming and had not returned.

Si Han brought weapons they had never seen before, formed a team, and used tough means to sweep and conquer the surrounding countries. Now he came to the border of northern Hebei.

The troops were at the gates of the city, eyeing his Daqian territory covetously.

Kong Xun, Li Ziyu and others were worried that An Xin had not returned and was injured. They looked at each other and their mouths were more or less blistered with anxiety.

Zhu Shijing: "I decided to go to Jibei to supervise the army."

Li Ziyu glanced at him calmly and said in a flat voice: "You are the Minister of Revenue, not the Minister of War. Is it appropriate for you to say this?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Yes." Kong Xun: "The Prime Minister is right. Senior Brother Zhu has crossed the line by becoming a military supervisor."

"Si Han's army is approaching, so it is only right for me to lead the troops in person."

Zhu Shijing: “…” Shameless man, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Li Ziyu glanced at Kong Xun with a cold expression.

Kong Xun, who had been showing off his might just now, shrank his neck. Apart from listening to An Xin, he was afraid of this senior brother who always had a blank expression on his face.

He slowed down and said weakly, "How about we go together?"

Those officials in the Daqian court who were dissatisfied with Kong Xun and opposed him were cleared out by Li Ziyu and several of his fellow apprentices, taking advantage of the opportunity of Prince Nanjun's forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Even the aristocratic families in the capital were secretly in collusion with King Kong Xun by Li Ziyu, a prime minister who was usually taciturn but cold-hearted and ruthless in his actions.

All those powerful family forces will be wiped out to the point where only one tenth of them remain, so that they will never be able to cause any trouble again.

Now the court of Daqian is very stable.

Old Man Shan, Marquis Xuanping, Chi Yuanshou, Gongsun Hong, General Yuchi and several other families, as well as some people who have close and friendly ties with An Xin, such as Kunrui, Li Xin, and Shen Wenxuan...

These people are keeping him stable in the court.

Even if they leave for a while, there will be no trouble in the court.

General Yuchi and Shan Jinzhe, the head of the Hanlin Academy Chi Huanong, the Minister of Personnel Gongsun Hong, and several others.

She was summoned into the palace by the unreliable Emperor Kong Xun, and was given the task of assisting the country for a period of time while the emperor personally led an expedition to northern Ji.

The older ministers widened their eyes in panic and knelt down to beg for mercy, hoping that Kong Xun would repent and revoke his order.

“…”

Except for that unruly monster An Xin, no one else could do such an important task of assisting the country in times of crisis.
