- "What problem can happen in Shuzhou?" Wang Jinglue was shocked, and his voice trembled involuntarily. He couldn't help but not worry or be afraid. Like the Cao family, most of the family members and property had been transferred to Shuzhou. If If something goes wrong in Shuzhou, then the two families of Cao and Wang will really be finished.
Cao Yi lowered his head in pain, "We made a mistake. Lou Xiang must have known that there was a big problem in Shuzhou and it was no longer enough to complete our plan, so he chose to betray us. Otherwise, with such a leader, How could people on both ends of the spectrum, who have nothing to say about their positions, make such a choice when the future seems unclear?"
"Is it a wise choice for Lou Xiang to seek refuge with Qin Rouniang at this time?" Wang Jinglue shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that Shangjing is in dire straits and Vietnam is going to be doomed."
"He didn't go to Qin Rouniang, he went to the Northern Expeditionary Army. Don't forget that Tu Wenzhuang. He hid in the Louxiang Army for ten years. It wasn't until Anling that it was proved that this man was Yun Zhao's nail buried in the Louxiang Army. From this bridge , Lou Xiang was able to build a bridge with the Northern Expedition Army again, and it was precisely from the Northern Expedition Army that he learned about the specific situation in Shuzhou, so Lou Xiang chose to betray us."
"What is the problem in Shuzhou that makes Lou Xiang so decisive?" Wang Jinglue asked in despair. He knew that Cao Yi had always been far-sighted. Since he said this, I'm afraid the fact is the same.
"Xie Zhao, we have forgotten that Xie Zhao is in the hands of the Northern Expedition Army. If what I think is correct, Yun Zhao must have released him, and even sent people to return to Shuzhou with him to help him regain control of Shu. In the overall situation of the state, Xie Zhao must be the young master of Shuzhou. His foundation in Shuzhou is not comparable to that of Xie An. Even among them, there may be help from Xie Shilin who is entrenched in Bazhou. Xie An must not be his opponent, that is, Said, at this time, Shuzhou is already in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and all our people in Shuzhou are ruined." Cao Yi held her head in both hands, veins on her forehead were exposed, and she almost fainted as she was hit by waves of severe pain. .
After a bad move, his hands and feet were tied. What he never expected was that Yun Zhao would have such courage and broad-mindedness to dare to release Xie Zhao and let him return to Shuzhou. It was this small oversight that made him All bets are off.
Wang Jinglue's face turned livid, "I understand, Lou Xiang defected to the Northern Army, so he sent the last group of our retreating people and belongings back to Qin Rouniang, asking her to attack us in order to cause chaos in the capital and serve as a base for the Northern Army. It can be easily scooped up to pave the way for going to Beijing."
"That's basically it. Now, haven't they achieved their goal? Qin Rouniang has imprisoned us." Cao Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Qin Rouniang is ruthless and will definitely not let us go, so let him make chaos, the more chaotic the better. If I want to go to hell, let Qin Rouniang accompany me." A trace of a cruel smile appeared on Wang Jinglue's face.
Cao Yi looked thoughtfully out of the dark winter window, not knowing what he was thinking.
A series of muffled sounds suddenly sounded outside the main hall. After all, Wang Jinglue was a military commander. He was very alert. He jumped up. He didn't have any handy weapons in his hands. He casually lifted a clothes rack by the wall and stared at it alertly. outside the door.
With a click, the door was pushed open, and a man wearing tight-fitting night clothes appeared at the door.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Wang Shangshu!" The visitor called out in a low voice.
"Xiang Cao, I was worried about you, and you are here as expected!" Cao Yi sighed and shook her head, "What are you doing here, are you throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Don't worry, Chief Assistant. I have served as the commander in the palace for more than a year and I am very familiar with the terrain. The brothers I brought this time are all elites. After we rescued the two adults, we immediately left the west gate and flew away. I will take care of everything. The arrangements are ready." Cao Xiang said in a low voice: "Although there are many guards in the palace, except for Qin Niang beside Qin Rou Niang, we have not paid attention to the rest."
"You are confused!" Cao Yi sighed: "You have forgotten Qin Rouniang's background. How could you not have thought that you would break in? He did not imprison us in Zhao Prison, but imprisoned us here just to rape you. Ah, it's good this time, old man Qin Sheng didn't catch you, but you jumped out and delivered it to Qin Rouniang."
"Sir, I came all the way and didn't find anything unusual. The city is in chaos now. Maybe Qin Rouniang didn't expect that I would be so bold and dare to break into her lair. I won't say any more. Sir, let's go quickly!" Prime Minister Cao said firmly.
Cao Yi sat there, not moving at all, "If I really want what you said, Qin Rouniang is not Qin Rouniang."
Before Cao Yi finished speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared outside Jingren Palace, and an unknown number of torches suddenly lit up. A large number of spies poured out from the houses around Jingren Palace, surrounding Jingren Palace. Got up.
The door suddenly opened, and Qin Rou Niang appeared at the gate accompanied by Qin Niang.
Wang Jinglue smiled bitterly and sat down.
"Go out and tell your brothers not to resist, lest they die in vain, drop your weapons and surrender to the other side." Cao Yi said seriously.
"Prime Minister!"
"Do as I say." Cao Yi shouted angrily.
Cao Xiang stamped his feet fiercely, walked to the door, and opened the door with a crash. In the yard outside Jingren Palace, a dozen men in black were surrounded. Around them, hundreds of Zhang Qiang crossbow.
"Throw away our weapons, we surrender!" Cao Xiang gritted his teeth and reluctantly threw the saber in his hand to the ground.
"General Cao is indeed a smart man." Qin Rouniang said with a smile: "I made a decision immediately, and it was worth waiting for you here for half a night."
Cao Yi appeared behind Prime Minister Cao and looked at Qin Rouniang, "Qin Rouniang, you are indeed an expert in doing these conspiracies and tricks, but when it comes to governing the country and bringing peace to the world, your scope is still too small."
Qin Rouniang looked at him with a sneer, "Cao Shoufu, a powerful figure, is now my prisoner."
Cao Yi smiled slightly, "Soon there will be no difference between us. You, me, and the emperor will all become prisoners of the man below the city."
Qin Rouniang's expression changed, "It's still unclear who will win."
Cao Yi shook her head and said, "It won't help if you look fierce but have a weak heart. Queen Mother, since you are here, you might as well come in and sit down and have a chat."
Qin Niang waved her hand, and the snare spies pounced on them, knocking all the men in black to the ground and tying them up with horses and hooves. Even Prime Minister Cao was no exception, and Prime Minister Cao did not resist. appearance.
Qin Rouniang walked into Jingren Palace, "Last year, I was imprisoned here for several months. It was the middle of winter, and I suffered a lot. Sir, the world is reincarnated. You didn't expect that you would be here today." He will also be imprisoned here.¡±
"It's useless not to talk about it, Qin Rouniang, you know I'm not the kind of person who likes nonsense. I said I wanted to talk to you, so naturally I have something important to tell you." Cao Yidao.
¡°I don¡¯t know what big things you can do,¡± Qin Rouniang said with a smile.
Cao Yi walked back to the table and sat down, "I have been thinking here for a long time and finally figured out one thing. Qin Rouniang, you are not stupid. Haven't you ever thought about a capricious villain like Lou Xiang? Why?" Instead of giving up on the sunny road I marked out for him, do you insist on stepping on your big ship that is about to sink?"
Qin Rouniang's face darkened. It's not that she hadn't thought about it, she just hadn't figured it out. She could only regard it as Lou Xiang's conscience, or because he was greedy for the title he had promised him.
"My arrangements in Shuzhou have become a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror. The person must have been arrested in Shuzhou. Like the clan members in Shangjing City, he was sent to prison and his property was also cheap. Xie Zhao, no No, no, Yun Zhao is getting an advantage. This is the family fortune that my Xie family has accumulated over hundreds of years. Qin Rou Niang, my way out has been cut off. Now, we are finally tied to the same boat again." Cao Yi Staring at Qin Rouniang, she said slowly.
"What do you mean by that?" Qin Rouniang's face changed greatly.
"What do you mean? What else can it mean?" Wang Jinglue said with a sad smile: "What Mr. Shofu means is that Lou Xiang is not seeking refuge with you, but with the Northern Expeditionary Army, because he knows that Shuzhou has fallen into the hands of Yun Zhao. The bright road we pointed out to him was a dead end, so he sent our people back and gave them to you in order to cause internal fighting between you and me and create conditions for the Northern Expedition Army to attack the capital. Such a simple truth I don¡¯t understand either¡±
Qin Rouniang stared at the two of them, silent for a long time, and then said, "So what, I have not wronged you after all. Shangjing City is still peaceful now. The chaos they expected did not appear. General Qin has already controlled the situation."
"You still don't understand what I mean. Their real purpose is not to go to the capital, but to Su Can's Tiger Guard. I believe that your snare has passed your decree to the Tiger Guard in Linxiang. Su Can will definitely There will be no doubt about Lou Xiang. Once Lou Xiang scoops out Bukou, no, I can confirm now, Lou Xiang will definitely scoop out Bukou. Su Can will definitely be overjoyed and will lead his army from Bukou to the capital. Now, you understand what I mean. Yun Zhao wanted to annihilate Su Can's Tiger Guard. Su Can huddled in Linxiang and fought hard. Yun Zhao had no way to rescue him in a short time, but Su Can thought he had Lou Xiang's If he takes action, the more than 100 miles from Linxiang to Shangjing will become the last stretch of Su Can's journey. I'm sure that Yun Zhao has prepared countless traps on this road. Waiting for Su Can to step in."
"Su Can's entire army has been destroyed, and Shangjing has lost the last force that can respond. There are no reinforcements from outside, and there is no city that must be defended inside. Shangjing will not be able to hold on for long!" Wang Jingluo said.
Qin Rou Niang's face became paler and paler, and she suddenly shouted: "Qin Niang!"
"What do you want me to do?" Qin Niang's face turned white at the moment.
"Send someone to Linxiang immediately and tell Su Can not to move."
"Don't bother. The passage from Shangjing to Linxiang must be covered with Yun Zhao's sentries. This area has been blocked. Let alone your messenger, I'm afraid even a mouse will fly. Don¡¯t go there,¡± Cao Yi said.
Qinniang hesitated for a while, then finally walked out and settled down.We sent people to report the news to Su Can.
Qin Rouniang sat there blankly, the joy of capturing Prime Minister Cao just now disappeared.
"Let Prime Minister Cao go!" Cao Yi looked at Qin Rouniang who was in despair, "He is a good general and can help you defend the city. With him assisting Old Man Qin, we can stay in Beijing for a while longer, and we can live for a few more days." ."
"Let Prime Minister Cao go," Qin Rou Niang raised her eyebrows, "Why should I believe him?"
"If you lock me here, let me, the Cao family, and the only remaining members of the Wang family be imprisoned by you in Zhao Prison, Prime Minister Cao can only do his best to defend the city with you, because once the city is broken, you are finished, and we It's the same fate." Cao Yi sighed. "As long as we are still in your hands, Prime Minister Cao will be your loyal watchdog. You should also know that without Prime Minister Cao, even if Old Man Qin temporarily controls the situation in the capital, Trouble will eventually happen."
Qin Rouniang was silent for a moment, then stood up, "Here, let Prime Minister Cao go!"
"Now, we are on the same boat again. In order to survive, we can only work for you!" Cao Yi laughed.
Qin Rouniang¡¯s face was filled with anger.
Cao Xiang rubbed his wrists and stood up from the ground.
"Xiang Cao, did you hear clearly what Cao Yi said? I don't think I need to teach you what to do next," Qin Rouniang said coldly.
"Defend to the capital!" Cao Xiang said harshly.
"As long as you know!"
"Empress Dowager, you don't mind if I have a few words with Prime Minister Cao alone. I have something to tell him so that he can serve you wholeheartedly." Cao Yi said with a smile.
"I can't think of any tricks you can play." Qin Rouniang said a word, turned around and walked out of Jingren Palace.
The smile on Cao Yi's face slowly disappeared, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
"Master Chief Assistant, don't worry, I will fight to the death to defend Shangjing City. As long as I am here, they will try to break through Shangjing City!" Prime Minister Cao, who had just been tied to the ground, heard the words of Qin Rouniang and Cao Yi. Clearly, "I am not working for Qin Rou Niang, I am saving the last seed for the Cao family."
"Xiang Cao, I know your loyalty, but the Cao family has indeed come to the end of the road this time. There is no eternally glorious dynasty in the world, and there is no eternally prosperous family, but hundreds of Cao families were destroyed in my hands. , thinking about it in my heart, I really feel sorry for my ancestors!" Cao Yi lowered his head heavily, and at this moment, he seemed to have aged dozens of years.
"Master Chief Assistant, we still have hope." Cao Xiang said loudly. "I will definitely be able to defend Shangjing City."
Cao Yi raised her head and looked at Prime Minister Cao, "Prime Minister Cao, you must hear every word of what I say next clearly and have it engraved in your heart."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
"You can't hold the capital anymore. No matter how hard you try, it's useless. Now I want you to try your best to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army after you return to the army and tell them that you surrendered. When they attack the city, You will open the city gates and welcome them into the city."
"Mr. Cao!"
"Master Chief Assistant!"
Both Cao Xiang and Wang Jinglue looked at Cao Yi in shock.
"Don't be surprised. In fact, the fate of Mr. Wang and I has been doomed for a long time. If Qin Rouniang can really defend Shangjing, we will definitely die. If she can't, she will kill both of us to vent her anger before she dies. We are now It can be said that he is dead, but the Cao family still has incense to inherit, and the same goes for the Wang family."
"You know that the third child has an outer room outside."
Prime Minister Cao was stunned and nodded, "Yes, I know. The Third Young Master didn't allow me to tell the Prime Minister before, but then things got busy and I forgot about it."
"The woman who is the third child is a fireworks woman. How could I, Mrs. Cao, allow such people to come in? But now I can't believe that she has become my last cigarette. That woman gave birth to a son. If you don't tell me, I won't." Do you know that after you go back, you will find them, protect their mother and son, and surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army to help them break the city. Yun Zhao will not touch you for a while out of sympathy, so you have time to arrange them well. Remember, After the arrangements are made, you will cut off all contact with them. Do you understand? This is the last hope of my Cao family. The remaining people will not be left in this catastrophe."
"I understand." Cao Xiang nodded.
"Old Wang, what about you, do you have anything else to say to Mr. Cao?"
Wang Jing smiled a little self-consciously, "My little troubles can never be hidden from you, Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao, there is a small courtyard in the alley in the town, where a woman and several family members live. The identity of this woman Specially, he was once a concubine of the late Emperor Li Jia. The palace was in chaos at that time. When I was on duty in the palace, I met this woman by chance. I fell in love with her, so I secretly took her out of the palace and hid her there. My identity is so special that I dare not tell anyone. Later, this woman also gave birth to a son for me, and they, mother and son, are also in your care."
"Yes, Wang Shangshu, I rememberNow, I will definitely arrange them to a safe place to continue the fireworks for Cao Wang's family." Cao Xiang burst into tears.
"There's nothing to be sad about!" Cao Yi stood up, "Go and do this well, and Lao Wang and I will die in peace."
"General, farewell!" Cao Xiang stood up and took a deep look at the two of them. He knew that this was also his last look.
Outside the door, a group of men in black who had accompanied Prime Minister Cao had been untied, but they were still under the strict supervision of the guards. Prime Minister Cao strode out and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go!"
At Pukou, Lou Xiang stared at the city top with the flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army flying, drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Attack!" The Luzhou town soldiers burst out with a loud shout and rushed towards Pukou City like a tide. The Pukou City was obviously unable to withstand the waves of attacks from its opponents. After a little resistance, the Northern Expeditionary Army abandoned the city and fled.
Lou Xiang stood at the top of Pukou City, high-spirited and said loudly: "Come here, send a message to General Su Can immediately. Lou Xiang has successfully captured Pukou. Please ask General Su to move to Pukou immediately."
Tu Wenzhuang Yizhong, who was standing on his side, laughed loudly, "We are here to welcome General Su's grand display at Bukou."
Linfeng, Su Can¡¯s camp. Many generals gathered in Su Can¡¯s camp.
"Jiang Shoude, Li Dewu."
"The end is here!"
"You two will lead your troops and garrison Linxiang to cut off the rear of the army."
"Follow your orders!"
"Huang Hong!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead the vanguard battalion and rush to Pukou immediately to join Lou Xiang and secure the Pukou passage and the road to Ningxiang."
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Huang Hong will set off immediately. The Chinese army will prepare food at the third watch and set off at the fifth watch. Let's go back to Beijing!" Su Can said loudly.
When the Northern Army was marching to Lucheng Camp, Meng Yao looked at Ding Chou and said, "The net is about to be closed!" He laughed.
Pu Demeng said in the Yizhou camp, "It's finally over. It won't be long before I can go back to the North to visit. I've been away from home for ten years and I really miss home!"
Jamuka sat astride the war horse, strumming the bowstring of Xingmu.
Jiang Xu carried Mo Dao and walked around boredly.
Yan Xiaoyi and Three-Eyed Tiger are making a bet on who can scoop up Su Can¡¯s head.rs - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
