The rise of the prince

Chapter 314 Great Victory in the South
But among the many prisoners, there was one that caught his attention, and that was Zhong Li!
The rebel county magistrate of Linyang Xu State was originally the grandnephew of Zhong Daoyu, and it was this grandson who wanted to kill Gillian at the Plum Garden Poetry Conference, but was arrested in the county government of Linyang City. Think about it, too. He was with Ding Yi when he was in Beijing.

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but sneer, with Zhong Li in hand, the grievances between himself and Zhong Daoyu could be settled.

"What the villain said is true, there is no lie, and now King Pingnan's army has besieged Suzhou City!" A ragged prisoner of war said in fear.In front of him was a long row from east to west, heavily armored, lined with knives and guns, like a black forest that could not see the edge.

Imperial army!

His name is Wang Xing, and he was originally a farmer in the south of Suzhou city. He was unlucky and lucky at the same time, because he joined the army on a whim, and then he escaped after the Luzhou people attacked the camp. Few people died.

But he also took part in the attack on Luzhou City, and that time many people died. After more than ten days, the dead people were piled into mountains.

But he escaped again. He climbed the ladder, but because of the darkness at night, he stepped on the air and fell down. This fall saved his life, because those who climbed to the top of the city that night were all killed the next morning. The Luzhou garrison left the corpse at the head of the city.

In the most tragic battle of Lengfengqing, he was captured by the Luzhou army. Thinking about that battle, his heart still shivered. Lengfengqing turned into a river of blood, and the pile of corpses blocked the flow of water and piled up into a dam.

When they thought they were going to die, King Pingnan didn't kill them, but let them go south, but they were stopped when they passed Linyang, and they were forced to become soldiers again.

But this time he is clever, with so much experience, he has long understood how powerful the prince opposite is, and also understands that it is impossible to defeat him!

So he took on the dirty and tiring job of boiling golden water (shi water), which no one wanted to do. As soon as the city was attacked, he ran south with his head in his arms. Sure enough, after only one day of fighting, Rinyang City fell.
He survived again.

But just when he ran south and wanted to escape from home, he encountered another imperial army!
Just went out and stepped on shit.
He told the leading general all his experiences in a crying voice, and then he didn't dare to lift his head.

The general opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and it took a long time before he said, "You are telling the truth."

"What the villain said is true, there is no lie, and now King Pingnan's army has besieged Suzhou City!"

"Siege Suzhou!"

Wang Xing nodded again and again: "It will only take one day for the prince to attack Linyang, I am afraid that Suzhou City will be destroyed in a few days."

After speaking, his heart beat faster, he didn't dare to breathe, and quietly waited for the general to say so.

In the end, the general nodded: "You go, go back to your hometown and tell the villagers not to go north recently, so as not to be accidentally killed by the army."

"Yes, yes, thank you, General, thank you General!" As he spoke, he nodded repeatedly, and then ran away without daring to look back.

Yang Hongzhao stood in front of the army on horseback, with banners flying behind him, thousands of troops and horses.

From then on, he went north and walked for two days to the city of Suzhou, but he came late.

The lieutenant beside him couldn't believe it and said: "General, is this fake? How is this possible? King Pingnan went south with only a thousand people. Although he has two thousand horses, it is not a hundred thousand troops!"

But Yang Hongzhao looked at the northern sky, and said slowly: "At first, I convinced myself like this. There are too few others, he is too young, he has never fought, he...
But he told the old man to go westward slowly, there are almost no soldiers in the county towns along the way, and the road to the north is smooth all the way, isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

The lieutenant had nothing to say.

"Scholars say that the heart of a villain is used to measure the heart of a gentleman, and we also use our own weight to judge the talents of others. If we can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Think about the champion of the big man back then." Yang Jianye said Can't help feeling: "It seems that this general is also old, the world is ultimately the world of young people.

Order the whole army to advance northward at an accelerated pace. If we go too late, the siege of Suzhou will not be able to catch up. Then we will have no face to speak in front of His Majesty. With an army of [-], we will end up picking up leaks all the way and have no military exploits. "

The lieutenant knew the seriousness of the matter after hearing it, so he hurriedly gave the order.

"Pingnan King Li Xingzhou, it is true that the tiger father has no dogs, is it another Prince Xiao? If this is the case, the court situation is not delicate," Yang Hongzhao said to himself.

"From my point of view, the chaos in the south is uncertain!
The waterways of the great river are restricted, and the rebel army has hundreds of thousands of armored troops. Ansu is still the most affluent place in our dynasty, with money to support and train the army.

The Forbidden Army was also defeated by the rebels last time, which shows that the rebels are powerful and the Forbidden Army is incompetent. "Paper fans in Chinese clothes, small dishes of wine and dishes, and scholars who are half-closed to the building, said clearly.

The gate of the city is always the easiest place to form a street market, and the dense restaurants here have also become a favorite place for Kaiyuan scholars. If you can’t afford to spend money on restaurants like Tingyu, Zhiyue, and Zhiqiu, then it’s not bad to come to the city gate.

"That's not right. Ansu Mansion is indeed rich, but it's not the richest. Ningjiang Mansion in Jiangzhou should be about the same. Besides, it was the prince's fault that the rebel army defeated the imperial army. It's just good luck. The army is powerful, but the imperial army is incompetent."

"Hey, you can't say that. According to what you said, everything in the world is luck, right?" The scholar put away the paper fan and knocked on the table, with a serious and impartial expression on his face.

"Patriotism is true, it's not just defending blindly, the rebels won and the forbidden army lost, that's the truth!
Although there are bad things about the prince, it can also be seen that the rebel army is much stronger than the imperial army! "

"That's not what the truth says"

Seeing that there were still people rebutting, the young master said arrogantly: "Then how can I say it? Let's talk about the facts, the facts are like this!"

"Isn't there still King Pingnan in the south?" Someone interjected.

"King Pingnan? A mere dude with a thousand people, what can he do? If it's not the emperor's grandson, what if he's not there, can it affect the situation of the battle?" avoid.

But the young master thought he had won, boasted of himself, opened the folding fan, shook it, and drank leisurely.

At this moment, the gatekeeper at the south gate not far away hurriedly stood up, and immediately blocked the crowd of people entering and leaving, and divided a path.

All of a sudden, everyone looked at the door curiously. Could it be that some important person came?

After a while, a fast brown horse rushed into the city like the wind.

Soldiers on horseback wore armor and carried red flags with gold patterns on their backs. They galloped across the alleys, shouting joyfully: "Great victory in the south! Great victory in the south! King Pingnan defeated the [-] rebels and besieged Suzhou City! King Pingnan defeated the rebels One hundred thousand, besieging Suzhou city!

Great victory in the south!Great victory in the south!King Pingnan broke [-] rebels and besieged Suzhou City!King Pingnan broke [-] rebels and besieged Suzhou City!
"

The fast horses came and went like the wind, all the way to the north, and disappeared at the end of the alley in a short while, and the voice in the distance could still be vaguely heard: "Great victory in the south! King Pingnan defeated [-] rebels and besieged Suzhou city."

The whole market fell silent.

The wine glass in the hand of the scholar who spoke so eloquently just now fell to the ground with a bang.

After a short period of silence, the streets and alleys suddenly exploded
