What is it like to start as Tiandao?
Chapter 233 They underestimated Xiao Tingxuan
Standing on the city wall, overlooking the dense army surging like a tidal wave under the city wall, even the county governor Xiao Yunzheng and the commander Zeng Huajun, who had seen the world, could not help but feel a numb scalp at this moment.
After some identification, the identity of the leader of the other side was finally determined. It was actually the Ninth Prince Xiao Tingxuan who was not liked by the emperor and was sent to Sanhe.
I really didn't expect that Xiao Tingxuan, who was in the remote Sanhe, could actually assemble such a large and powerful division.
What surprised them even more was that they discovered that there were many masters of level three and above hidden in this team, which meant that Xiao Tingxuan now not only had sufficient human resources, but also had top-notch combat power.
This is undoubtedly a strong army, and it is no worse than the armies raised by the famous families.
"His Royal Highness King Su is not in Sanhe, why did he raise his troops here?"
Sheriff Xiao Yunzheng stood on the towering city wall, his voice as loud as thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield.
However, everyone can hear the knowing meaning in his tone.
Doesn’t he understand why Xiao Tingxuan raised his troops here?
Of course Xiao Yunzheng understood, but he was just stalling for some time.
When the words fell, Xiao Yunzheng lowered his voice eagerly and told his close associates: "Go and notify the Zheng family quickly!"
He had just exchanged glances with Zeng Huajun and decided to leave this difficult problem to the Zheng family to solve.
As one of the Jiangnan noble families, the Zheng family must be more anxious than them when Xiao Tingxuan takes the initiative to knock on the door.
Moreover, with Xiao Tingxuan's current military strength, only the Zheng family can compete with it.
If the Zheng family chooses to stand by and watch, then the two of them will open the city gate without hesitation and surrender to Xiao Tingxuan.
After all, with their current strength, they simply cannot compete with the powerful army led by Xiao Tingxuan, so why let the soldiers die in vain?
Anyway, the previous emperor has passed away and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne.
As the saying goes, there is an emperor and a courtier, and it is better to surrender to any prince than to fight to the death here.
Their only hope is that Xiao Tingxuan will not end up like the prince and Xiao Tianyu, who end up in vain and in vain.
Under the city wall, Xiao Tingxuan stood with his head held high. He looked at Xiao Yunzheng on the wall with a serious and righteous expression, and said loudly:
"Xiao Jiyun is so rebellious that he dares to do such an unjust thing as killing the king and usurping the throne.
Not only that, he also put his biological mother under house arrest, which is an unforgivable crime.
This time, I am following the late emperor's last edict to go to the capital to attack the rebellious ministers and traitors. I also ask the governor to open the city gate quickly and not to be stubborn and join in the evil deeds. "
From Xiao Tingxuan's point of view, not only you, the county governor, will ask questions knowingly, but I will also open my eyes and tell lies to see who can defeat whom in the end.
The so-called "his mother" Xiao Tingxuan mentioned did not refer to Xiao Jiyun's biological mother Zhuang Guifei, but the current empress.
Whether it is Xiao Jiyun, Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tingxuan himself, or even the other princes, they must respect the queen as mother.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yunzheng, the governor of Liaocheng County, heard what Xiao Tingxuan said, he was speechless.
I thought: You are just a down-and-out prince who is not favored by the late emperor, and your fiefdom is in a desolate place like Sanhe. Now he is actually saying wildly that he has received the late emperor's edict? Could it be that the late emperor passed the edict to you in his sleep?
Xiao Yunzheng knew that Xiao Tingxuan was talking nonsense, but he was too embarrassed to expose Xiao Tingxuan's lies. It is better for everyone to know this in their hearts and not talk about it on the stage.
It would not be good for anyone if we completely break our skin.
"Your Highness's move really makes me quite embarrassed. Your Highness, can you let me discuss this matter carefully?"
While Xiao Yunzheng appeared to be entrusted, he was secretly thinking about how to delay time with Xiao Tingxuan. At this moment, he only hoped that someone from the Zheng family would come soon.
If no one from the Zheng family came, he might really have to open the city gate and let Xiao Tingxuan's 300,000 troops enter Liaocheng.
Xiao Yunzheng knew very well that once Xiao Tingxuan's army entered Liaocheng, judging from the fierce appeal against thieves that Xiao Tingxuan had previously published, Xiao Tingxuan would not let these aristocratic families off easily.
At that time, he can only let these aristocratic families pray for blessings on their own. Anyway, he tried his best.
"I will give you this time to discuss, but don't keep me waiting. At present, my father is newly deceased, the dragon body has not yet been buried, and my mother has been kidnapped by thieves and is trapped in the palace. I, the king, bear the national robe. The family hates me, so I will go to Beijing as soon as possible to take care of everything."
Xiao Tingxuan looked at Xiao Yunzheng with burning eyes and sneered secretly in his heart.
How could he not know what Xiao Yunzheng was planning? It's nothing more than delaying time and waiting for the Zheng family.
But it doesn't matter, Xiao Tingxuan will comply with your wishes today, let's see if you can seize this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunzheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying thanks: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
There was a hint of joy on his face. He didn't expect Xiao Tingxuan to be so easy to fool, and he dismissed it with just one sentence.
Little did he know that what Xiao Tingxuan wanted was for him to speak like this.
When the Zheng family gets involved and Xiao Yunzheng cannot give Xiao Tingxuan a satisfactory answer, then Xiao Tingxuan will have an excuse to kill with a borrowed knife.
In his appeal against thieves, Xiao Tingxuan had another hidden point that he did not bring up, that is, those corrupt and corrupt officials must be eliminated at once.
In the inner hall of the Zheng family, the confidant sent by Xiao Yunzheng was reporting the situation to the Zheng family.
"Report to the head of the Zheng family, the county governor sent his subordinates to inform the head of the family that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Xiao Tingxuan have arrived outside the gate of Liaocheng. Please make a quick decision."
Hearing the news from the visitor, the Zheng family members present were all shocked.
Originally, they didn't care about Xiao Tingxuan, thinking that Xiao Tingxuan was just a bragging trash.
With Sanhe's situation, how many people can Xiao Tingxuan pull.
A few hundred, a few thousand, or tens of thousands?
Who could have expected that such a person who was despised by everyone could actually gather such a large army?
At first, when they saw the anti-thief manifesto issued by Xiao Tingxuan, although they were a little unhappy, they were more disdainful.
Xiao Tingxuan's actions can be seen as a joke, and there is no need to take it seriously. Whoever takes it seriously will lose.
Therefore, none of these noble families took precautions against Xiao Tingxuan's raising of troops, as they did not think that Xiao Tingxuan had the ability to do so.
After all, all these noble families united and lost to Xiao Jiyun, so what could Xiao Tingxuan do to fight against Xiao Jiyun, not to mention that Xiao Tingxuan wanted to start a full-scale war.
But now, Xiao Tingxuan actually led his army to the outskirts of Liaocheng, and this move caught the Zheng family off guard.
They did not expect that Xiao Tingxuan was really capable, and they underestimated Xiao Tingxuan.
