- It was late at night, and the whole of Jijing was dead silent.
This capital of the Zhou Dynasty, which originally had 200,000 households, now has only 10,000 or 20,000 households left. The rest have all moved to the ancient capital Chaoge under the call of the imperial court. This has made the originally bustling capital , now it looks a bit depressed.
Especially the Imperial Palace. In the past, the Imperial Palace was the most representative building in Hebei Province. But now, although the palace is still brightly lit, there are many fewer people. Except for the Northern Army patrolling back and forth on time, There are no more busy maids and eunuchs in the past.
In the main hall of the Taiqian Palace of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhou Li Shouzheng stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the ancestors and emperors of the Li family enshrined on the shrine in the hall, including his father, Li Ji.
Looking at his late father¡¯s memorial tablet, Li Shou let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"Needless to say? It's obvious that His Majesty has something on his mind"
"What's on your mind? Could it be outside the city"
¡°Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh¡±
Outside the main hall, a row of eunuchs were waiting neatly outside the hall. There were many whispers during this period, but under the low-pitched warnings of other eunuchs, the whispers disappeared after a while.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is worried about the Northern Xinjiang soldiers approaching the city outside the city. Otherwise, after the Northern Xinjiang soldiers retreated around dusk, he would come to Taiqian Palace, the shrine dedicated to the ancestors of the Li family. , one stop lasted several hours, and even dinner was delayed.
Suddenly, one of the eunuchs seemed to notice something. He calmly reminded the other eunuchs and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "The Queen is here!"
"I welcome the Queen!"
A group of eunuchs knelt down one after another. At this time, Queen Wang came over from a distance with two maids, escorted by a group of Northern troops. Hearing this, he nodded, raised his hand and said pleasantly, "Everyone." Get flat"
"Thank you, Queen!" The eunuchs knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few more times, then stood up, bowed their bodies, and paid respect to Queen Wang.
"Your Majestyare you inside?" Queen Wang asked softly as her beautiful eyes glanced at the Taigan Palace.
"One of the eunuchs raised his hand and replied, "Reporting to the Queen, Your Majesty is still here in Taiqian PalaceIs the Queen here to see Your Majesty?"
"Yes!" Queen Wang nodded lightly.
Seeing this, the eunuch said respectfully, "I forgive you for not being able to report to your Majesty. The Taiqian Palace is not for slaves and others to set foot in"
Queen Wang nodded and didn't care. After all, Taiqian Palace was a sacred place enshrining the shrines of the ancestors and emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was indeed not a place where the eunuchs with incomplete bodies in front of them could set foot. Even the maids and imperial guards in the palace were not allowed to set foot. No one is qualified to enter, unless they are direct royal relatives, such as Li Shou's brothers, or she, the empress who gave birth to the direct crown prince for the Li family of Great Zhou.
Of course there are exceptions. No, when Empress Wang came to the threshold of the main entrance of Taiqian Palace, she saw at a glance that besides her husband, the current Holy Emperor Li Shou, there was another person in the main hall. That was the person who had taken care of the late Emperor Li Ji for most of his life. The old eunuch, Wang Ying, is the only chief eunuch in the palace who can freely enter and leave any prohibited places.
Seemingly noticing the arrival of Queen Wang, the chief eunuch Wang Ying came forward with a few steps, bowed and said respectfully, "Is the Queen here to see your Majesty?"
Queen Wang nodded slightly and said softly, "I saw that Your Majesty has not returned to the palace for a long time, and I heard from the imperial kitchen that His Majesty was delayed even for dinner, so I felt a little worried, so I came here to have a look" Then, she looked inside the palace and asked in a low voice, "Is it easy for me to enter the palace?"
The old eunuch smiled slightly when he heard this and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Is there any place in this palace that your Majesty is not allowed to go to? Your Majesty is in the palace, please come! As for" At this point, he looked at the Queen and the Queen. On the bodies of the Northern Army guards and palace maids brought by the expedition.
Presumably, Queen Wang also knew the rules of Taiqian Palace. Seeing this, she turned around and said softly to her entourage, "Just wait here."
"Yes, the Queen" The guards and the two maids saluted and nodded.
After the instructions were given, Queen Wang walked into the palace. She had learned from the old eunuch Wang Ying that Li Shou was in a daze in the palace looking at the tombs of the ancestors and emperors of the Li family, so she walked very carefully and her footsteps were very loud. Shocked, for fear of disturbing the man who was wandering in the sky at the moment.
But for some reason, when she walked not far behind Li Shou, Li Shou seemed to notice her arrival and asked softly, "Is she the queen?"
Queen Wang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward a few steps quicklyIn front of him, he said softly, "Replying to your majesty, it is this concubineI heard from people in the palace that your majesty has been standing here since dusk and sunset, not thinking about tea or food, nor going back to the palace. I have this in mind, so I came here to have a look. After all, I hope Your Majesty will not blame you for the collision"
Li Shou smiled slightly when he heard the words, turned around and stared at Queen Wang with eyes full of love. After all, at this moment, he was in front of the shrine enshrining the tombs of the ancestors and emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if he wanted to take Queen Wang into his arms, he would not be able to hold her in his arms. The ancestral system cannot be done either. What's more, there is the old eunuch Wang Ying standing next to the palace. This old eunuch's identity is unusual.
"I feel guilty for letting the queen miss meHas the prince rested in peace?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just coaxed the emperor to rest, and she is currently being guarded by several wet nurses"
"That's good." Li Shou let out a long breath after hearing this, and then his eyes fell on the shrine in front of him that enshrined the spiritual thrones of the ancestors and emperors of his Li family, especially the spiritual throne of his father, the late emperor Li Ji.
"Iare far inferior to my father, right?" Li Shou said with a long sigh after staring at the memorial tablet of the late emperor Li Ji for a long time.
Queen Wang was stunned and asked, "Why did your Majesty say that?"
Li Shou let out another long sigh, shook his head and said, "When my father was in power, no one in the world dared to disobey him. He conquered the barbarians in the north and the Qiang barbarians in the west. The Tang Dynasty was also defeated by my father, which doubled the territory of Zhou Dynasty. However, after I succeeded to the throne, many uneasy things happened frequently in the world, including natural disasters and military disasters. It¡¯s ridiculous that I was still there back then. Before my father passed away, he arrogantly said that I will definitely become an emperor far better than my father, so that the country will be safe, the country will be safe, and all the people will be safe"
"Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself" Seeing that Li Shou was not feeling quite right, Queen Wang gently advised, "I dare not say that your Majesty surpasses the late emperor, but in my opinion, your Majesty is also a great person after he succeeds to the throne. There is a wise king who repairs flood control, reduces taxes, and eradicates rebels. Why is this not a wise king?"
Hearing this, Li Shou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Queen is ridiculous! Whether it's repairing floods or reducing taxes, it's all done by the Eight Emperors brothers who worked hard in the court and dedicated themselves to it. As for wiping out the rebels, that guy Xie An is out there. Diligent Did you know that that guy has not returned home for more than a year, and he has been fighting for me for more than a year! - Can these be regarded as my merits?"
Queen Wang was speechless after hearing the words. After thinking for a while, she persuaded, "Isn't this the charm of Your Majesty? It is precisely because Mr. Xie believes that Your Majesty can become a wise king that he attaches himself to Your Majesty and assists Your Majesty, isn¡¯t it?¡±
"Ha!" Li Shou chuckled, then suddenly shook his head and said, "The queen must have no way of knowing the good news from the previous days, right?"
"Is it about Jiangnan?"
"Ah!" Nodding, Li Shou seemed to have regained some confidence, and said with some pride, "That guy, that guy who couldn't even defeat me, who had no power to tie a chicken, destroyed King Qin, The three kings, including the King of Chu and the King of Han, destroyed most of the Taiping Army and forced Princess Liu Qing of the Southern Tang Dynasty to surrender. They were currently joining forces with the Eight Emperors to attack Wu Heng's party in the south of the Yangtze River According to the victory report, Wu Heng's party The foundation of the thieves of the other Taiping army led by Heng has been hollowed out by that guy Xie An. I believe that guy will be able to pacify Jiangnan in a few days!"
Looking at the incredible pride in Li Shou's eyes, Queen Wang smiled knowingly and agreed, "I was also surprised when I heard this. I didn't expect Master Xie to be so capable"
"Ah, that boy Xie An is indeed quite capable" Li Shou sighed softly, shook his head and said, "In comparison, the situation here on my side is so embarrassing When I was guarding the city during the day, as a The king of the country has obviously made up his mind to stop the troops from the northern border here, but when the war broke out, I felt so frightened that I wanted to leave everything here and escape to Chaoge"
"Your Majesty"
"In fact, I have thought more than once that it would be great if that guy Xie An was here He led the Jizhou soldiers to win consecutive battles in Jing, Yang and other places, and he must be able to stop the Northern Xinjiang soldiers here for me! ¡ª¡ªDo you think it¡¯s ridiculous? That guy is clearly fighting for me in the south of the Yangtze River, but I¡¯m still not satisfied"
"This shows that Your Majesty really trusts Mr. Xie very much!" Although Queen Wang did not dare to violate the rules in Taiqian Palace and use her body to comfort her husband, she still leaned slightly towards Li Shou and said softly, "In fact, , Your Majesty did not do a bad job today I asked Mr. Hou Wen of Beichi, and Mr. Wen said that today, His Majesty severely defeated King Yan's arrogance on the city, and led the soldiers who defended the city to withstand the ferocious soldiers of Northern Xinjiang. The offensive"
"Where can I resist?" Li Shou said bitterly after hearing this, "It was Liang Qiu Gong. It was this old man who personally took action and forced back the two northern troops Zhang Qi and Le Xu.The general of Xinjiang forced my brother, the Four Emperors, to temporarily suspend the war and withdraw his troops, retreating more than ten miles to rest and recuperate"
"It's no wonder that Li Shou said this. After all, in the siege battle during the day, he Li Shou did nothing except shouting some encouraging words to King Yan Li Mao before. Not to mention personally holding a sword to kill a Northern Xinjiang soldier, in fact, from the beginning to the end, he was protected by heavy troops sent by Weiwei Si Qing Xun Zheng. To put it bluntly, it was as if he had watched a siege battle from beginning to end, without any remarkable heroic deeds.
And this is the reason why Li Shou is in an extremely bad mood right now. After all, his father Li Ji was extremely brave when he was his age. Although he was not as good as Liang Qiu Gong, he went into battle to kill the enemy personally. For Li Ji In comparison, it was a common occurrence. In comparison, Li Shou was indeed a weak king. He did nothing except shouting in front of the battle.
Seemingly noticing the tiredness on Li Shou's face, Queen Wang advised distressedly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why not go back to the palace to rest first. Your Majesty will have to climb the tower in person to deal with the Northern Xinjiang soldiers tomorrow, right?"
Queen Wang originally wanted to persuade Li Shou by using the incident of foreign enemies approaching the city, but unexpectedly, Li Shou sighed softly, shook his head and said, "The night is long, but I have no intention of sleeping What if I sleep one more night? What if? The Four Emperors can capture Jijing tomorrow, and I will only survive for one more day. - Queen, please go back and rest first, and let me rest here for a while"
¡°As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged and stared at the spiritual throne of his father, the late Emperor Li Ji.
Seeing this, Queen Wang knew in her heart that no matter how much she tried to persuade her, it would be useless. She sighed slightly, said goodbye and went back to the palace, leaving only Li Shou and the old eunuch Wang Ying in the palace.
The hours passed by little by little, and soon it was late at night. Although Li Shou said that he had no intention of sleeping, but in fact? It was just that when I recalled the Northern Xinjiang soldiers, I was frightened by their powerful military strength.
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to rest, he just doesn¡¯t dare to rest. He doesn¡¯t dare to imagine that once he closes his eyes and takes a rest, when he opens his eyes again, what he sees in front of him is those Northern Xinjiang soldiers with ferocious expressions on their faces. In other words, he was killed in his sleep without even having a chance to open his eyes again.
"Ah, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty is timid.
Perhaps Li Shou and Xie An were evenly matched once, and Xie An couldn't even defeat Li Shou. However, Xie An went through many wars and many changes in this year, and his courage, mood, and courage were all tempered. , completely different from the original. Even if he were asked to stand on the city tower and command the troops and horses today, and to confront Yan King Li Mao head-on, Xie An would not be the least bit timid.
After all, among the opponents Xie An faced this year, including Liang Qiuhao, Li Shen, Zhenlei, and Wu Heng, how many of them were inferior to Yan Wang Li Mao? Especially the two pairs of Liu Qing and Liang Qiuhao, Li Shen and Zhen Lei were so powerful that it was so powerful that even Xie An couldn't imagine how he could win afterward. Compared to Liang Qiu Hao and Zhen Lei, King Yan Li Mao, the world's hero who is known as the first warrior of the Li family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, seems to be nothing.
But Li Shou didn¡¯t have the same experiences as Xie An, so he would have been frightened by the army of Yan King Li Mao, and he would have been too frightened to sleep.
Although he had no intention of sleeping, after all, Li Shou witnessed the tragic battle on the tower during the day and was extremely tired both physically and mentally. As the night got darker and darker, he fell into a trance even though he clearly didn't want to sleep. To sleep.
Until someone called him
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu!"
A majestic call sounded in Li Shou's ears.
[This voice looks a bit familiar]
The dazed Li Shou was thinking to himself. He felt that the voice was quite familiar.
"Idiot! Why don't you wake me up?!"
And just when Li Shou was secretly guessing, the call suddenly turned into a cold shout. Li Shou's eyes suddenly opened in surprise and he sat up immediately.
Looking around, Li Shou found that he was still in Taiqian Palace, but the old eunuch Wang Ying and the young eunuchs outside the palace did not know where they had gone. In fact, even the guards guarding outside the palace were missing. trace.
Just when Li Shou was secretly frightened, he suddenly heard a sneer coming from in front of him.
"You are quite courageous when facing a formidable enemy, yet you are sleeping soundly in the Taiqian Palace in front of my ancestors and emperors throughout the Great Zhou dynasties!"
Hearing this, Li Shou subconsciously raised his head and glanced, his eyes widened in shock, and a chill ran down his back.
"FatherFather?!"
Li Shou stared dumbfounded at the candlestick in the hall, and saw a vague figure emerging there, wearing the clothes of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.The black dragon emperor robe he wore during the ceremony looked at him coldly.
¡°Oh my god, that is actually the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the most talented and sage emperor among all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Ji.
However, it is not Li Ji who is over fifty years old and has been drained by drinking and sex. Li Ji, who is standing in front of Li Shou at this moment, looks like he is only in his twenties or thirties. His sharp and fierce eyes are called Li Ji. Shou didn't dare to look up.
Seeing Li Shou's frightened look, Li Ji, who seemed to be in his youth, sneered and said, "I never expected that I, Li Ji, would give birth to such an incompetent son like you, and even ask you to become my king of the Great Zhou Dynasty ¡I, Li Ji, don¡¯t have a son like you!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji's figure flickered, and several more figures emerged, looming under the bright candlelight.
"Hehehe, Father, please don't be offended. Xiaojiu is not considered an orthodox member of my Li family"
"What my brother said is absolutely true! - As expected, my brother is the best candidate for the throne"
"Where does Xiaowu's words put me, Third Brother?"
Listening to the conversation between those figures, Li Shou was extremely shocked. He knew that the people who appeared in front of Li Shou accompanying the late Emperor Li Ji were actually the former Crown Prince Li Wei, the King of Qin Li Shen and the King of Anling Li Cheng.
"Iwhy are you here? Am I already dead?" Li Shou murmured with a changed expression. After all, according to his memory, whether it is Li Ji, Li Wei, Li Wei, or Li Cheng, they are all dead right now. Already dead.
When Li Shou said this, Li Wei, Li Shen, Li Cheng and others burst into laughter. Even Li Ji had an inexplicable smile on his face and said lightly, "You are still alive now, but how long will it take? It¡¯s hard to say¡¡±
"What do you mean?" Li Shou asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Li Ji sneered and said mockingly, "The soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang have already arrived at the city, aren't they?"
Li Shou's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what? Since I can defend the first day, I can defend the second day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji sneered and said, "What a fool! The reason why you were able to hold on today was just relying on the help of the city wall of Jijing. In addition, your brother Li Mao, the fourth emperor, did not personally fight. , when my fourth son takes action tomorrow, I will see how you resist!"
Li Shou was speechless. He was indeed troubled by this matter. After all, today, or to be more precise, it should be yesterday during the day. Although the guards on the Hebei side were obviously tired in front of the Northern Xinjiang soldiers, they could In fact, Li Mao has not yet taken action personally. Just like the Eastern Army without Liang Qiuwu would not be called the Eastern Army, and the Taiping Army without Liang Qiuhao would not be called the Taiping Army. Without Li Mao's Northern Xinjiang Army, it would be a Northern Army that would scare the nomads on the northern grasslands. A powerful army from Xinjiang?
As we all know, half of the reputation of Northern Xinjiang is based on the terrifying force of King Li Mao of Yan. However, the King of Yan, Li Mao, had not yet taken action in person yesterday, so Ji Jing's defense was full of loopholes and in danger. Once Li Shou went into battle in person, why would he, Li Shou, resist?
Thinking of this, Li Shou's heart suddenly sank. But in front of Li Ji, he never wanted to give in easily.
"So what if the Four Emperors take action in person? I also have Duke Liang Qiu in Jingjing"
"Boxuan?" Li Ji laughed loudly after hearing this, looked at Li Shou and said, "Although Boxuan is brave, he is still old, and my fourth son is in his prime Idiot, do you really think Boxuan Can you handle it?"
Li Shou remained silent. After all, he saw with his own eyes that although Liang Qiu Gong was still very brave when fighting on the city, the old man could not hold on for long. After killing Zhang Qi and Le Xu, two generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army, he Afterwards, he was already out of breath. How could this physical strength compete with Li Mao who was in his prime?
"Even if Liangqiu is defeated, we still have Liangqiu"
"Liangqiu Wu, is that it? Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu?" Li Ji looked at Li Shou with a sneer.
From the side, Li Wei also laughed and said, "Xiaojiu, not only do you have Liang Qiu Wu, but you also have Xie An and Xiao Ba! It's a pity that Liang Qiu Wu is trapped in Boling, but Xie An and Xiao Ba are still To deal with the Taiping Army in the south of the Yangtze Riverit's a pity that the strong generals and wise ministers you rely on are not with you!"
"" Li Shou opened his mouth and was speechless. After all, Li Wei made clear the pain in his heart. In his opinion, if Xie An, Liang Qiuwu and his wife were in Jijing at this moment, the Eight Sage King Li Xian was also there, and the brave and capable Jizhou Army officers and soldiers were also there, why would he in Jijing be in Beijing? Is the situation in danger under the attack of the Xinjiang army?
"Looking at Xiaojiu's expression, it seems that she is in trouble!" King Qin Li Shenyi laughed.
From the side, Anling King Li Cheng snorted coldly, looked at Li Shou and said calmly, "I have always believed that your talents are far inferior to the crown prince brother, and the crown prince brother should be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Serve. But now that the matter has come to this, it doesn¡¯t hurt to give you a few words of advice! ¡ª¡ªIf you still have the idea in your heart of asking others to come to your rescue, you will not be able to defend Ji Jing! "
"Well said! As expected of me, Li Ji's son!" Li Ji praised with a smile.
Li Shou was shocked when he heard this and couldn't say a word to refute. After all, he did place his hopes on Liang Qiu Wu, Xie An, Li Xian, Liang Qiu Gong, Lu Gong, Wen Qin, Xun Zheng and others, but never thought about what role he could play in this war.
Ah, even though he was also obsessed with not being able to contribute to the defense of the city yesterday, he had not thought carefully about what he could do, no matter how insignificant it was.
Thinking of this, Li Shou was finally able to calm down and think.
Seeing this, Li Ji smiled slightly and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jiu, I still remember that you once told me that you would do something more grandiose than me, and then you carved the most ridiculous words on my tombstone. "Emperor" and other words? Then, let's go and deal with the Northern Xinjiang soldiers! - If you die here, then the most ridiculous emperor is not me, but you who speaks arrogantly!"
Li Shou was shocked when he heard this and looked at his father speechless.
"It's already dawn!" Li Ji raised his finger and pointed outside the palace. Only then did Li Shou notice that the sky, which was dark just now, had already brightened up.
"Listen, the horns of the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack on the city have already sounded" Glancing at Li Shou, Li Ji said with a smile, "Go, it's time for you to fulfill your duties as an emperor, my youngest son! - ¡ªMy son, Li Ji, is definitely not a fool, let alone a coward!"
After that, Li Ji turned around and walked past Li Shou. After that, the former prince Li Wei, King of Qin Li Shen and King of Anling Li Cheng also walked past him one after another and disappeared in the light of the candlestick not far away. .
"Remember, you are the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!"
The last words left by his father Li Ji before his figure gradually disappeared echoed in his ears. Li Shou's eyes suddenly opened. Only then did he realize that he was still sitting in front of his father Li Ji's tomb. Move not even a tiny bit.
"Your Majesty Your Majesty?" In front of Li Shou, the old eunuch Wang Ying looked at the young king with a worried look on his back.
Glancing at His Highness, Li Shou noticed the group of young eunuchs outside the palace. He exhaled slightly and murmured, "Is thisa dream?" After that, he asked the old eunuch Wang Yingdao, "Eunuch Wang, How long have I been sitting here cross-legged?"
"One night" Wang Ying said with a worried look.
"It feels like it's only for a moment, but don't you think it's already a night?" Li Shou chuckled, stood up, shook the emperor's yellow robe that looked wrinkled due to his sitting posture, and turned to look at Fucheng Gate in the northwest.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
"Your Majesty, are you going to defend the city in person today?" the old eunuch asked with a worried look on his face.
"Ah!" Li Shou smiled and said, "I am the emperor! But before that, I have to change my clothes wearing a dragon robe to defend the city is really outrageous!"
"" The old eunuch opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He only felt that Li Shou today was completely different from the passive look he had yesterday.
"Oh, that's right!" As if he had thought of something, Li Shou looked back at the old eunuch Wang Ying when he walked to the door of the hall, and said with a chuckle, "If there is an emergency, please hold me in your arms." The young prince went to Chaoge"
"Your Majesty Your Majesty?" The old eunuch's expression changed slightly. He certainly knew what Li Shou's words meant.
"Does Your Majesty have to go? - This old slave thinks that His Majesty's body of gold must not be put in danger!"
"Ha! I have to go, who calls methe Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!"
"" The old eunuch Wang Ying was moved when he heard this. For some reason, his slightly cloudy eyes were slightly moist. Perhaps, he saw the shadow of the late Emperor Li Ji when he was young in Li Shou.
"Long live my emperor!" The old eunuch, who had never kowtowed to Li Shou before, knelt down with excitement and watched Li Shou disappear out of the hall.
At the same time, on the northwest wall of Jijing, Duke Liangqiu of the East, Duke Lu of the South, Wenqin the Marquis of Beichi, and Xun Zheng, the minister of the Weiwei Temple, were standing on the top of the city, looking solemnly at the people outside the city. Northern Xinjiang soldiers.
"Perhaps it's a psychological effect. The Northern Xinjiang soldiers who had rested all night looked stronger than yesterday. Although the siege had not yet started, the solemn atmosphere was faintly affecting the defenders on the city.
"So so strong!" Looking at the massive Beijiang outside the citySoldiers, Lu Gong couldn't help but murmured to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Qiu Gong sighed slightly and said, "Ah, it's even better than yesterday" As he said this, there was a somewhat complicated look in the old man's eyes.
From the perspective of Liang Qiu Gong, since his former student Li Mao, now the King of Yan, has put up such a massive military posture, he will undoubtedly launch a formal attack on Jijing, which is completely different from yesterday's tentative feint attack. of.
¡° Even Yan King Li Mao may personally take action.
Thinking of this, Liang Qiu Gong sighed slightly, because he didn't know whether his old self could still surrender to the northern overlord under the city.
Liang Qiuhao, Liang Qiuwu, Li Mao
The three people who have taught martial arts have gradually surpassed him one after another. This feeling is not very pleasant to Liang Qiu Gong.
??It is said that an old man has great ambitions, and a martyr has great ambitions in his old age. But once a person gets old, what will happen even if he still has great ambitions in his heart? The era always belongs to the younger generation!
"Ohh Ohh ohh¡ª¡ª!"
"kill!"
After another horn blast, the Northern Xinjiang soldiers below the city suddenly launched an offensive against Jijing. However, at this time, Li Shou had not yet arrived at the city.
"Where is your Majesty?"
"The soldiers from Northern Xinjiang have begun to attack the city. Why hasn't Your Majesty arrived yet?"
"Were you frightened by the Northern Xinjiang soldiers yesterday?"
Not far away, several soldiers guarding the city began to whisper when they saw that Li Shou was still late.
"" Seemingly noticing the whispers of the soldiers, Beichi Hou Wenqin frowned slightly and shouted sternly, "The fight is about to begin, so don't whisper!"
With a shout of words, the whispers in the city were suppressed, but the restless and anxious mood of the soldiers guarding the city was not calmed.
Some people even began to secretly suspect whether the Emperor Li Shou had quietly escaped while the Northern Xinjiang troops withdrew yesterday.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICE
Although they didn¡¯t dare to say it directly, the soldiers guarding the city couldn¡¯t help but think so in their hearts.
"Tsk!" Beichi Hou Wenqin frowned, because he clearly felt the change in the morale of the soldiers.
And at this moment, the sound of "dong dong dong" drums sounded from somewhere on the city wall.
what happened? The generals have not ordered the drums to be beaten to support the battle. Who dares to disobey the generals' orders?
The soldiers on the city were puzzled, and even Wen Qin was a little unhappy. He looked around, trying to find the guy who disrespected the general's orders.
Finally, following the direction of the drum sound, Wen Qin found the guy who disrespected his general and beat the drum privately. He was a young general wearing dark armor
"Huh?"
Taking a closer look, Wen Qin's expression changed drastically. How could he not recognize that the young general in armor was none other than the Emperor of Zhou to whom they were loyal, Li Shou.
"Your Majesty Your Majesty?" Wen Qin muttered to himself.
"What? Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty will personally go into battle to beat drums and cheer for me?"
"Your Majesty has not abandoned us"
The news spread to ten, and within a short time, all the guards on the city wall knew about it.
[Did you change your clothes specially? ]
Looking at Li Shou from a distance, Wen Qin's eyes flashed with surprise and surprise. Although he didn't say anything yesterday, deep down in his heart, he still had some grudge against Li Shou wearing a dragon robe to defend the city. Now, seeing Li Shou put on a general's armor, Wen Qin still didn't say anything, but he admired it very much in his heart. of.
"Have you all seen this?!" Wen Qin raised his arms and shouted, "Your Majesty, please beat the drums for us personally to cheer us up. If we can't stop the Northern Xinjiang soldiers here, how can we see you again?" !¡±
All the soldiers on the city were stunned when they heard the words. After a while, an inspiring shout broke out on the city.
"Whoa whoa¡ª¡ª!"
Even though King Yan Li Mao was thousands of feet away, he heard it clearly.
Immediately, Li Mao's face darkened, because he realized that maybe he would not be able to easily capture the capital of Hebei.
Facts have proved that Li Mao's premonition came true. After the emperor Li Shou climbed up the building to participate in the defense of the city, the morale of the defenders in Hebei City rose to an incredible level, so that the soldiers from northern Xinjiang violently attacked Hebei City for more than ten days. Unable to attack the city.
The furious Li Mao finally couldn't help but issued an order to conquer Jijing within ten days.However, even so, the Northern Xinjiang soldiers were still unable to open up the situation.
In fact, this is not to blame for the Northern Xinjiang soldiers. After all, there are two four-town troops in the city of Jijing: the Southern Army's "Zhenzhen" and the Northern Army's "Beiwei" troops. As we all know, the Southern Army's Zhenzhen camp is the best at defending. Obviously, the soldiers of the South Army were wearing solid armor weighing dozens of kilograms and holding a shield that was hundreds of kilograms high for a person. He stood directly on the city wall. It was simply an indestructible steel front. Even though the soldiers from the Northern Territory tried their best to cut him down with their swords, the soldiers from the Southern Army still stood proudly and did not waver at all.
Although the Northern Army does not have as luxurious armor as the Southern Army, after all, the Northern Army is the imperial guard in the palace. Putting aside the difference in equipment, a Southern Army soldier may not be able to defeat a Northern Army soldier. , after all, the Northern Army is the most comprehensively trained light armored infantry.
Li Mao probably never expected that the hard nut of Jijing would be so difficult to crack, so the battle lasted until mid-June, but the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Northern Xinjiang Army.
After all, the weather gets warmer in June and the ice on the moat outside Jijing City thaws, which means that Jijing has another barrier in addition to the high and solid city wall.
Fortunately, Li Mao was not completely reckless. After seeing the strong resistance from the soldiers in Jijing City, he finally put aside his unnecessary pride and ordered his army sergeants to cut down wood and build large siege equipment.
