Jiang Liangji did not take Emperor Yanxing seriously at first. He did not expect him to be so difficult to deal with and so good at inciting people. He knew that if this continued, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to him.
The Northwest Army was originally composed of soldiers of Dajing, but was stolen by Jiang Liangji, who also brainwashed them with remarks such as the puppet emperor was a coward and the court was corrupt.
A puppet emperor who was raised in the deep palace and was said to be misogynistic, unwilling to touch women, leaving all the concubines in the palace to live as widows.
There is no future in being loyal to such a weak emperor.
Jiang Liangji had a high prestige in the Northwest Army. He instigated many generals to defect and had been placing, training and supporting his own people at middle and high levels.
Mu Rong’s loss was not unfair.
Now, the Northwest Army discovered that Emperor Yanxing did not seem to be the incompetent puppet and foolish monarch they had stereotyped.
He is even more heroic and his leadership ability is not inferior to that of veteran Jiang Liangji.
"My lord, please do not allow the emperor to continue to deceive the people. Otherwise, the army will be shaken and the people will be demoralized, which will be detrimental to your great cause."
These generals were Jiang Liangji's confidants. Once they followed Jiang Liangji in rebellion, they had no way out.
Jiang Liangji's face darkened. He didn't think he could reach the capital all at once. He just wanted to establish himself as king in the northwest. After the princes of Dajing fought the little emperor to the death, he would enter the capital and ascend the throne.
But the young emperor's personal expedition disrupted his plan, Prince Yi was a waste, and the Yu people were cunning and unwilling to give their full strength.
Jiang Liangji is now in a dilemma.
The situation became stalemate.
"What's the plan, officers and soldiers?"
As soon as Jiang Liangji said this.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Bang!
Jiang Liangji slammed his fist on the table. "You can't think of anything. What use do I have for you?"
"My Lord, why don't you send someone to sneak into the capital and capture the Queen and the Crown Prince."
"It's not that easy to capture the Queen and the Crown Prince, and we have to wait."
"Why not seek help from Dongyang, Xijin and other countries? They have always been eyeing Dajing covetously. As long as the lord offers favorable conditions, they will definitely support the lord."
Someone immediately objected, "Dongyang and Xijin and other countries have evil ambitions, and they are not as easy to deal with as the Yu people. We want to achieve great things, but if we allow foreign countries to invade Dajing, we will be cursed for eternity."
"History is written by the victors. As long as we win, how can we bear eternal infamy? If we lose, then nine generations of our clan will be exterminated. Everyone, think carefully, we have no way out."
"Come here, pen and ink are waiting for you."
Jiang Liangji said loudly.
When he first cooperated with the Yu people, he agreed to cede the three northwestern states to the Yu people as long as they accomplished their great cause.
Who would have thought that the Yu people were so treacherous, unwilling to fight to the death, and wanted to hide behind him to reap the benefits.
This made Jiang Liangji furious, but he couldn't break off relations with the Yu people.
If he loses, the Yu people will be his retreat.
As for Dongyang Kingdom and Xijin Kingdom, Jiang Liangji took up his pen and wrote down the benefits he promised.
As long as Dongyang State and Xijin State help him take over Dajing, he will divide Dajing into three parts with these two countries.
This means that Dajing was divided into three parts, one for himself, one for Dongyang, and one for Xijin.
"My lord, this is impossible. Dongyang and Xijin are already powerful countries. If they take over two-thirds of Dajing's land, how can my lord defeat them?"
"Yes, my lord, this is too much. You can promise money and beauties, and even the land should be comparable to the three states of the Yu people."
…
"You don't need to say anything more. I know what I'm doing. As long as Dongyang and Xijin come to my aid, I'll wait for them and the young emperor to suffer heavy losses. I'll then take advantage of this opportunity to weaken their combined strength. Then I'll easily capture Dajing, and later on, Dongyang and Xijin will be within my grasp as well."
Jiang Liangji had a good idea, and the other generals thought it was a good idea.
So he didn't say anything else.
Emperor Yanxing, looking at the northwest city wall, was very dissatisfied with Jiang Liangji's cowardice.
They played three games in total, won two and drew one, and Jiang Liangji did not come out.
"Your Majesty, a message from the capital."
"Come up quickly."
Emperor Yanxing was extremely anxious. He had blisters on the corners of his mouth recently. He was worried about the palace and hated Jiang Liangji for avoiding the battle.
The Yu people were as cunning as foxes. After a head-on confrontation, they immediately retreated when they found the situation was unfavorable.
However, the Yu people did not withdraw from Dajing, but watched the situation of Emperor Yanxing and Jiang Liangji from afar.
I just want both sides to suffer losses so that I can pick up the bargain.
But if you chase him, he will run away. If you don't chase him, he will stare at you from afar.
How could Emperor Yanxing do as the Yu people wished and send a team of troops to deal with the Yu people? He concentrated on dealing with Jiang Liangji.
Every day, people are sent to the northwest gate to make announcements. They are all from Dajing. When foreign invaders invade, they should unite to fight against the enemy, but instead they kill each other. This is self-destruction and digging their own graves.
The people in the northwest were all feeling unhappy. They were from Dajing and did not want to rebel.
However, even though Jiang Liangji controlled the northwest, he still did not treat the people as human beings and always sent soldiers to the people's homes to plunder food.
They even allowed the Yu people to plunder their food, steal their money, and even their women.
At this time, although the northwest village was heavily guarded, the people were under strict control and could not go out at will.
But there are still many loyal and righteous people who want to save themselves and resist.
"The Emperor is leading the army in person. We are saved."
"Yes, I heard that after three battles, the Emperor won two and tied once, and neither Jiang nor the Yu people gained an advantage."
"But now Jiang is avoiding the battle. We need to help the emperor. Don't you have a son in the barracks? See if you can open the city gates and welcome the emperor into the city."
"My son isn't guarding the city gate; he's just a cook."
"Or poison?"
"Do you think poison is so easy? There are many military doctors in the Northwest Military Camp."
"Then give them drugs and knock them out, so there won't be any need to fight."
"If we are found out, we will be finished."
…
The people are working hard, and Emperor Yanxing is also looking for a breakthrough.
He wanted to capture Jiang Liangji as soon as possible to recover the northwest and rush back to the capital to provide rescue.
Although everything had been arranged before leaving the capital, there were enough weapons and food. As long as nothing unexpected happened, there would be no problem in defending the capital for half a year.
At this moment, Emperor Yanxing couldn't wait to look at the letter presented by Xiu Fu.
The King of Qi, the King of Han, and the King of Xiang attacked the capital.
Emperor Yanxing's expression changed.
Even if he had such an idea and had made targeted arrangements, when the time really came, Emperor Yanxing found that he could not remain calm at all.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. With the Imperial Guards and the Black Dragon Guards protecting them, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Princesses will be fine."
Xiu Fu spoke hurriedly.
"I……"
Emperor Yanxing did not say it. He felt that he was still a little impulsive. As long as he thought about the queen and the children getting into trouble, Emperor Yanxing could not accept it.
"Newspaper"
"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the Empress."
This was sent by the Black Dragon Guard.
Emperor Yanxing's hands were shaking a little. When Xiu Fu opened it, he was slightly stunned.
Emperor Yanxing fell silent when he saw this.
