Become a feudal king from today

"General, the Beidi army has moved. Read"

At the top of Xiancheng City, the Beidi army broke out of camp and headed south.

This movement was immediately noticed by the soldiers and reported to Yang Feng.

"What happened? It seems to be in the direction of Wuguan." Yang Feng frowned.

He was confused, but he couldn't figure out Beidi's intention, so he continued to observe.

After the Beidi army broke out, Xiliang and Ma Jin's armies seemed to have no intention of retreating.

He immediately filled the gap surrounded by Beidi soldiers and continued to besiege them.

During the siege of Xiancheng by Beidi, Xiliang's soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangcheng and Baocheng all arrived.

There are currently more than 300,000 people in total.

Although they are not as powerful as Beidi soldiers and horses.

However, during this period of time, he had less than 150,000 troops defending the city.

In particular, nearly half of them were soldiers and horses from powerful clans whose morale had been extremely low.

It is almost impossible to break out of the siege.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Beidi army left.

"After the emperor escaped, I don't know whether he returned to Jinling or went to Yanzhou? How do he plan to solve the siege of Xiancheng?" Yang Feng read a sentence, his eyes filled with worry.

He was not worried about himself, but he didn't want the soldiers and generals of Xiancheng to be buried here.

After all, Zhao Heng's formation of the new imperial army cost a lot of money, and all of them died here, which is undoubtedly a huge loss to the royal family.

…

Yanguan.

After Zhao Xu accompanied Zhao Heng for a few days, at Zhao Heng's request, he escorted the emperor here.

"It is worthy of being the most powerful pass in Dasong. If this place is taken by Beidi, it will be difficult to take it back." Zhao Heng sighed as he stared ahead at the top of Yanguan City.

Since childhood, the name of Yanguan has often been heard.

But since he ascended the throne, he has not yet visited Yan Pass in person.

Occasionally, he remembered it and came to visit it himself.

During this period of time, he had to wait for Beidi's next move before making a decision.

The second prince also followed him shamelessly, as if Zhao Xu would let his men beat him to death if he was no longer with Zhao Heng.

Although he was dissatisfied with the fact that Zhao Xu took advantage of the banquet to ask his father to reward him with the three southern counties.

He was even more frightened by Zhao Heng's words that the throne could also be given to him.

But he knew very well that it was better for him to be honest in King Yan's territory.

Therefore, he was unhappy in his heart, but in the past few days, he did not dare to offend Zhao Xu at all, and looked harmonious.

"What my father said is absolutely true. This Yan Pass is the gateway to Da Song. With the ninth brother guarding it now, it must be safe and sound." The second prince gave Zhao Xu a smile.

While the group was talking, suddenly a cavalryman climbed up the city wall and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Highness, the Hanzhou Mu Commandery troops have arrived at the border of Yanzhou and request to see the emperor."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, "Then let him come in."

From that day on, Zhao Heng announced in public that the three counties in the south were given to him.

He immediately sent soldiers and officials to take over the three southern counties.

At the same time, some people from the three counties who had come to the north four counties despite Chang Wei learned the news and returned to the three south counties one after another.

Next, like the people in the four northern counties, they will receive land.

Therefore, since the three southern counties are his fiefdom, Han Qi cannot be allowed to come and go at will.

But now that Han Qi learned that Nansan County had become his fiefdom, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.

In response, the cavalry turned and left.

Zhao Heng and the second prince looked at each other, their expressions relaxed.

At present, they are in the land of the King of Yan, and all their officials are officials of the King of Yan, and all their generals are generals of the King of Yan.

This makes them feel insecure.

At this time, Han Qi led his troops to the border of Yanzhou, and they suddenly felt more at ease.

Facing King Yan, he also gained confidence.

Just as the cavalry left, another cavalry arrived.

"Your Highness, the soldiers and horses of the Wang family have arrived at the southwest border of Yanzhou. Wang Kang, the shepherd of Yuzhou, requested to see the emperor." The cavalryman said.

"Ask him to be the Marquis of Yancheng." Before Zhao Xu could speak, Zhao Heng said suddenly, feeling much more confident in his words.

When the second prince heard this, his eyebrows were beaming and his eyes were excited.

The feeling of being dependent on someone else disappeared.

After receiving this news, Zhao Heng seemed to have no interest in staying in Yanguan anymore.

Han Qi and Wang Kang got the news and came one after another. Next, the news that he escaped from Xiancheng will arrive in Jinling.

The imperial court will definitely send someone to welcome him back to Jinling.

Although the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Yanzhou these days are pretty good.

But he still couldn't stand the shabby conditions in the north and couldn't wait to go back immediately.

"Father, please." Zhao Xu saw Zhao Heng's thoughts and raised his hand to signal Zhao Heng to get down from the city wall and drive to Yancheng.

Zhao Heng wanted to leave, but he really wanted to.

With this Great Song Emperor here, he ate, drank, and played with me, almost becoming an escort.

The most important thing is that Zhao Heng wants the best in everything.

If you don't let him go, I'm afraid he will be the Yanzhou talent show girl.

I don't want to continue serving this ancestor.

Furthermore, his purpose of asking for the three southern counties has been achieved. ‘

Zhao Heng also gave him the right to sea trade. From now on, he can carry out maritime trade with one white and one black.

Of course, he knew in his heart that Zhao Heng was trying to flatter him.

When his strength is greatly reduced, stir up conflicts between him and the powerful clan to relieve the pressure on himself.

But he doesn't care.

The powerful clan has always been at odds with him, but this time he has made such a great contribution.

Without Zhao Heng's provocation, the powerful clan would suppress him further.

What's more, he seized the three southern counties of Yuan Li and expelled the Yuan family from Yanzhou.

This time Han Qi and Wang Kang, two state pastors, came to lead their troops.

In his opinion, if he had the intention of attacking, he might also have the intention of avenging Yuan Li.

After all, Yuan Li was a thorn in the side of the powerful clan in Yanzhou.

How could he be allowed to pull it out so easily?

But they came in vain. The imperial edict had been issued, and they could only stare.

…

In Jinling, the news that King Yan rescued Emperor Zhao Heng was sent here.

royal palace

Yanxi Hall.

Zhao Gang was blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek with three palace maids.

A lot of laughter.

At this time, Queen Xie walked in, glanced at Zhao Gang, and waved the three maids to leave.

At this moment, Zhao Gang suddenly grabbed Queen Xie, took off the cloth from her eyes, and was about to kiss her.

He was startled when he saw that it was his mother.

"Mother, do you also like to play hide and seek?" Zhao Gang looked embarrassed.

Queen Xie's face turned red and white, "What a joke, you, you, you really don't look like you."

Then he said: "Did you know that the King of Yan sent people to rescue the emperor, and the emperor is probably in Yancheng now."

The news was sent from Sizhou of the Ma family.

So it shows that Zhao Heng has gone to Yancheng.

"King Yan rescued my father!" Zhao Gang was shocked.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the tea cup next to him and threw it to the ground, "This King Yan really ruined my good deeds."

"Okay, the matter has come to an end. It's useless to talk more. You should immediately summon the ministers to discuss how to welcome the emperor back." Queen Xie said, "It is said that the Northern Expedition was thwarted, and the second prince has unavoidable guilt. This time he returned to Beijing. , The emperor will definitely investigate. If the third prince is deposed, the second prince is not only useless, but guilty, the throne is still yours. "

Zhao Gang felt better after hearing this.

But thinking about having to continue waiting, he felt annoyed again.

But he knew in his heart that there was nothing he could do about it.
