He came here for a big battle, but who knew that this side was actually playing the empty city plan! ...
This is not the fault of Liyang City. It was Sun Renluan who spread the rumor to confuse the Zhenbei Army. At most they had 200,000 troops. No matter what, Sun Renluan could not allocate 50,000 elite troops to defend Liyang. His initial plan was to send 20,000 troops there and quietly take a detour through the Wujun waterway to create the illusion that these people were reinforcements sent from the south. As long as they could delay the Zhenbei Army for a day or two, he could also buy him more opportunities.
Then he fell ill, and his sister took power. Sun Shannu did not have Sun Renluan's ambition to live and die with Jinling. Her strategy was to follow the example of her dead ex-husband and continue to flee to other places if she could not win.
So when these 20,000 people were about to go to Wujun to repeat the same trick, the empress dowager called them back with an imperial decree. Now they are staying in Jinling, waiting for the next order.
But Sun Shannu didn't know that her son was faster than her. This child completely inherited Emperor Guangjia's fear of death and had already decided to escape before her. However, he planned to run to the other side. After all, they were both puppet emperors, so it didn't matter where they served. ...
Military intelligence was sent back one after another. Qu Yunmie could not sleep well. He sat up again after only two hours. Seeing Xiao Rong sitting beside him reading the letter, he could not help but ask, "You didn't sleep?"
Xiao Rong turned his head and smiled at him: "No, I feel very energetic."
Qu Yunmie: “…” I figured it out.
Normally, when Xiao Rong was happy, Qu Yunmie would be happy too, but now, when Xiao Rong was happy, Qu Yunmie was nervous. He didn't know why he was nervous, but he just had a feeling that something that had always made Xiao Rong stubborn, nervous, and neurotic had disappeared, and he would never have to become hysterical again.
The change was subtle yet obvious. Qu Yunmie felt a little panicked, as if he couldn't stand on solid ground.
He covered the injured area weakly, got out of bed, sat opposite Xiao Rong, and picked up a military newspaper.
When he took the military newspaper, he saw a few blood scabs on Xiao Rong's originally slender and clean knuckles. Before, when he was outside, Xiao Rong's whole body was gray and it was difficult to find these wounds. Now that he washed himself clean, these small wounds became very glaring.
Qu Yunmie suddenly realized that he was a very despicable person, because after seeing these blood scabs, his first reaction was not heartache, but a faint joy that Xiao Rong still cared about him.
He subconsciously lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Xiao Rong. The way he opened the letter was a bit rough. Xiao Rong looked at him, and under his gaze, Qu Yunmie's expression slowly changed.
After reading this letter, he read another one. After reading all of them, he was silent for a moment and made a decision: "We will break camp tonight and march quickly. Tomorrow morning we will meet up with Yu Shaocheng and others to attack Nanjing."
Xiao Rong was shocked: "Are you crazy? Your own injury hasn't healed yet!"
Qu Yunmie: "It will take ten days or half a month to heal this injury. I can't wait that long."
Xiao Rong looked like he disagreed. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Qu Yunmie said, "It's okay. I won't go to the battlefield."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Xiao Rong didn't expect to hear such words from Qu Yunmie. He was stunned for a moment and slowly closed his mouth. Seeing that he no longer objected, Qu Yunmie asked the guards to go out and inform the generals. Soon, the entire army took action.
After nightfall, the entire army set out. Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong rode side by side. Xiao Rong glanced at Qu Yunmie's condition from time to time, but he could not see anything. As long as Qu Yunmie wanted to endure, no one else could know his true feelings.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and after daybreak, it will be a new year. While others are staying up all night with their families to celebrate the New Year, they are marching quickly in the cold wind.
This life was his own again, but Xiao Rong didn't have much time to celebrate. The system binding had disappeared, but the binding in reality, which was connected together in every detail, was still strong. *
The imperial palace in Jinling was in chaos.
When the Zhenbei Army just passed Yiyang, Jinling was shocked, but still relatively calm. After all, they had known for a long time that the Zhenbei Army would attack, but they never thought that this group of people were so unprincipled as to start a war before the New Year.
But after Yu Shaocheng conquered Lujiang and then Liyang, Nanjing could no longer remain calm.
Because Yu Shaocheng took out the banner that the embroiderers had been working on overnight, and arranged for someone with a loud voice to stand outside the gate of Jinling and shout: "Eliminate the treacherous officials and rescue Your Majesty; support the Yong Dynasty, everyone has the responsibility!"
People from Jinling: “…………”
Who wrote this slogan? It's so vulgar!
Xiao Rong: It’s fine as long as it’s catchy. Most people won’t understand if it’s too flowery. …
This was just one of the sentences, there were others after that, and the latter ones were really vulgar, because those slogans included the name of Empress Dowager Sun, saying that she favored villains, detained the Grand Marshal, and the little emperor was in danger in her hands, so the Zhenbei Army had to rise up and attack them.
This reason is not unreasonable, and it is all true. But there is a problem, these slogans betrayed the little emperor.
Simply serving the emperor could be considered as the Zhenbei Army's cowardice, but if the secrets of the imperial palace were to be leaked, that would be something that the Zhenbei Army could not do.
Xiao Rong's move was to put the little emperor on the spot, at least to let those royalists know what kind of person he is. Even if they want to overthrow Tiangang in the future, they have to consider whether this person is worth it.
What if those people got so angry that they killed the little emperor? Well... to be more ruthless, that would save trouble.
Anyway, they had the emperor's handwritten letter, and another letter that was not handwritten but had the imperial seal. They did come to the emperor's aid after receiving the letter, but they ran into the remnants of the Qingfeng Sect and were delayed for a few days. That's why they were one step late, and the emperor unfortunately died in the hands of the treacherous party. They were helpless. ...
The slogan came in, and the palace was in complete chaos. Some smart people found something wrong. Detain the Grand Marshal? Why did the Zhenbei Army use the term "detain the Grand Marshal"?
The person who was most suspicious of this matter was Yang Zangyi. When Sun Shannu saw that the matter was exposed, she did not think about how to explain it, but immediately took her male lover and ran away.
He didn't care about his son anymore. After all, that bastard was just like his father, neither a good person.
When Yang Zangyi found out that the Queen Mother was missing, he was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. The Sun family felt even more ridiculous. You ran away? You ran away just like that? ?
