Chapter 381 Worried about alerting the enemy
This way we can catch them off guard.
"Your Highness, at this rate, we will be able to reach the capital in less than three days." Zeng Zhaoming asked Chu Shiheng.
These days, they traveled day and night.
Even the horses have been replaced several times.
In fact, in Zeng Zhaoming's opinion, they don't need to be so anxious at all.
Now they are just transporting the weapons out. If they really want to force the emperor to abdicate, there will definitely be other arrangements.
However, they had an advantage in one thing, that was that their prince returned to Beijing secretly this time.
Everyone in the capital knew that the War King Chu Shiheng had disappeared or even died a few years ago.
The princess is now guarding the border with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
It is precisely because of this that the Pingding Marquis Mansion was so calm and did not take the Emperor Chu Murong seriously at all.
Of course, this was also the news that the prince had returned that the prince and the princess had been hiding from each other.
The purpose is to catch Pingdinghou Mansion off guard.
"Take that team of elite soldiers back today and act according to the plan after you return." Chu Shiheng instructed Zeng Zhaoming.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
There were only a few hundred elite soldiers, and in Zhen Jianting's eyes, these people were nothing at all.
However, this was Chu Shiheng's purpose. He wanted to make Zhen Jianting feel that Yu Mengqing was at the border and could not take care of the capital at all.
He wanted Zhen Jianting to let down his guard so that he could achieve his goal.
If his guess was correct, the troops under Zhen Jianting should be comparable to those under the emperor's command.
It won’t be much more.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to take action.
Based on his understanding of Zhen Jianting, he must have known that the emperor intended to depose the prince, which was why he thought of taking action.
Otherwise, he could have waited.
After hearing Chu Shiheng's order, Zeng Zhaoming immediately led the designated team of elite soldiers and quickly headed towards the capital.
Chu Shiheng also did not dare to relax and was also rushing.
He did not rush to the capital, but to Lujia Village not far from the capital.
He had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so he naturally couldn't return to the capital so rashly.
He was worried about alerting the enemy.
Therefore, the best decision is to station in Lujiajing, which is closest to the capital.
The military camp of the Manjing State.
Chu Xibin, who was already extremely worried, now had no other options except waiting for news.
If the king disagrees, only death awaits him.
But judging from the situation, the king should have received the news as well.
"Report..."
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the voice of the spy, and Chu Xibin suddenly stood up.
"Tell me!"
"General Chu, Your Majesty... No, General Jing said, retreat, surrender."
"General Jing?" Chu Xibin asked curiously.
Wasn't this spy supposed to report to the king? Why did he hear Jing Keqing's words?
At this time, Chu Xibin's mind and eyes were full of question marks.
The spy naturally knew what Chu Xibin was thinking, so he told him everything that happened in the palace.
"You mean General Jing was in the hall at that time?" Chu Xibin asked excitedly.
At this time, his only hope was that Chu Xibin could come and take charge of the situation.
To be honest, Chu Xibin felt that he was powerless.
I don't even know how to surrender.
Now when Chu Xibin heard Jing Keqing's name, he felt a special comfort.
"General Chu, that's right. General Jing happened to be there at the time."
After hearing this, Chu Xibin finally felt relieved.
Come to think of it, if Jing Keqing wasn't here, the spy wouldn't have come here alive to see him.
"General Jing..."
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the spy's voice again.
"What else did General Jing say?"
"No, it's General Jing who's here." The spy pointed at Jing Keqing who was on horseback not far away.
Hearing this, Chu Xibin turned around abruptly and looked in the direction the spy was looking.
Sure enough, he saw the person he hoped to see.
If at the beginning Chu Xibin hoped that he could get the title of general based on his own strength.
So now, for him, saving his life is the top priority.
Thinking of this, Chu Xibin immediately headed towards Jing Keqing.
"General Jing..."
"What's the situation now?" Jing Keqing jumped off the horse and asked sternly.
"The situation is not good!" Chu Xibin said truthfully.
He had no choice but to talk about this issue.
Because the facts are right in front of him, he won't tell them until he knows them.
Just by walking around in this military camp, you can see the situation of the war.
And Jing Keqing is indeed doing this.
"What exactly is going on? Please explain it to this general one by one." Jing Keqing asked sternly.
He thought the battle would be terrible, but he didn't expect it to be so terrible.
This is basically losing before the fight even begins.
After hearing what Jing Keqing said, Chu Xibin naturally did not dare to hide it.
"General, we just arrived, less than a quarter of an hour ago, when we heard a loud bang in the center of the camp. Before we could even check, we heard another series of loud bangs nearby. I'm sure the general heard them too. I still don't understand what happened."
Next, Chu Xibin told Jing Keqing everything that happened after the loud noise.
At this time, he didn't dare to hide anything.
You know, with the battle situation like this, he might lose his life at any minute.
The most important thing is that he lost nearly 70,000 elite soldiers before the war even started.
This does not include those who were injured.
After calculating this, Chu Xibin even wanted to burn himself to death to apologize.
Seeing Jing Keqing frowning and not speaking, Chu Xibin couldn't even speak clearly.
I was afraid that he would get angry and stab me...
"General Jing..."
"What does the Great Xia Kingdom say?" Jing Keqing interrupted Chu Xibin directly.
"After seeing our truce signal, they didn't continue, but..."
"But what?"
"But you can come in and dance for three periods of time."
"I don't really know Yu Mengqing, and I don't know if she will suddenly put that thing again."
"No!" Jing Keqing said affirmatively.
Chu Xibin didn't understand her, but Jing Keqing did.
Even though she is just a woman, she knows everything she should know and even handles it very well.
