The rise of the prince

Chapter 650 Strange Forces and Chaos Gods (Up + Down)
In the Golden Palace of the Imperial City of Shangjing, Wanyan Wugunai was sitting high above, reading a letter in his hand, and a charcoal fire was burning in the golden basin below. Although it was still early autumn, the north could already vaguely feel the chill.

The most important thing is that although the Wanyan Wugunai sitting above him is in his prime, he is already much thinner now, with sunken eye sockets and wearing a thick fur. He is obviously sick and weak, unable to stand the cold.

Sitting with him below were his younger brother and his most trusted titan Wanyan Zongbi, the eldest son of the emperor Wanyan Liang, Jin Guoshangshuling Liu Xu, and Wanyan Yingge who had just joined Wu Guo Princess for his meritorious service.

In the seats below, there are more than a dozen Jurchen elders from various tribes, as well as important officials of the Jin Kingdom.

Liu Xu deliberately chose a position close to the top, far away from Wanyan Yingge. Since the princess came back, he ran south, and then went to Juyongguan, just to avoid Princess Wu.

But at this time, it was inevitable, so he could only pretend not to see it. In Liu Xu's view, the two were more than 20 years apart, and Wan Yan Yingge's words like that were simply unreasonable, but the other party was a princess. He couldn't say anything either.

Recently, a large number of refugees from the south poured into Zhongjing and Shangjing, followed by various legends and rumors. Di Zhi, a general under King Guoping Nanwang, used hundreds of people to defeat tens of thousands of the Liao army with the magic of Jingguo. During the battle, there was a strong wind, smog, and the ground shook. The Liao army suffered heavy casualties in an instant, so the Jing army directly attacked Nanjing
On the other side, King Pingnan recklessly broke through the West Route Army, broke through Weizhou, and joined forces with the important town of Anding!
Calculated by counting like this, since King Pingnan sent troops, in just a few dozen days, less than a month, the Liao Kingdom fell!
At first, this matter was only brought up by business travelers in the south and a large number of refugees who fled to the north. When it was first reported to the palace, no one believed it, and they all said it was just a joke.

No matter how powerful Jing Jun is, within one month, he can even defeat Weizhou, Anding, and Nanjing, and defeat tens of thousands of elites from the Liao Kingdom.

If it's another small town, it's okay to say that Weizhou and Anding are important throats to the west of Taihang Mountains, and Nanjing City is even more important. They are important towns in the world.

Furthermore, the last tens of thousands of elites in the Liao Kingdom, even the hero Wanyan Wugunai, who has been victorious in all battles all his life, have to temporarily avoid it and give it to Jing Guo, let alone hundreds of people, there are still Jing Guo's immortal skills ?
Even giving Jingguo a 10,000 army is not optimistic about Jingguo. After all, the [-]+ army was defeated by Yelu Dashi's remnants before.

Liao people will die if they are in a hurry.

In such a situation, how could it be within a month?Even in one year or ten years, Jingguo may not be able to win Nanjing.

For this reason, whether it was the emperor at that time, the king of Wei Wanyan Zongbi, or the eldest son Wanyan Liang, even Liu Xu just joked about it as ignorant people and didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, that night, the urgent bulletin from the Shanhaiguan garrison hundreds of miles away was delivered to the desk in the palace.The emperor, who was going to bed, was also woken up in the middle of the night. The battle report clearly stated that Jing Guo really broke through Nanjing!

And there is no siege, no fierce battle, only one day from start to finish!
After a day of war, tens of thousands of elites from the Liao Kingdom were defeated, the dead filled the banks of the Wuding River, and Nanjing fell
Liu Xu was also awakened from his sleep that night, and when he saw the battle report, he himself was stunned for a long time. The night was slightly cold, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The next day, the battle report of Juyongguan also came, and the crown prince wrote it himself. This time, the battle report was clearer and more specific, because the crown prince said that he went to the front line in person and witnessed the battle all day long on the hills on the upper bank of the Wuding River in Nanjing City. fighting.

But it is more specific, more surprising, more incredible, and confusing.

Because the Prince Wanyan Lixin wrote clearly that the main force of the Jing army on the north bank of the Wuding River was indeed not like the exaggerated hundreds of people who fled northward, but 3000 people.

The prince actually said that 3000 people defeated the tens of thousands of elite main forces of the Liao Kingdom!
Then there is something even more bizarre. It is said that the Jing army under the command of King Pingnan will use demon magic, and there may be an expert from Jing Guo's immortal family to help, because the battle with the Liao army is shaking, the smoke is lingering, and the fire is flickering, just like summoning thunder. Every time, it can break the horse and tear the human body, making it impossible for the Liao army to fight back, and it will collapse at the touch of a touch.

He also said that the death of the Liao army was countless all day long, and the north bank of the Wuding River was full of corpses and dead bodies. To say nothing, the loss of the Jing army may be "almost less than a hundred people".
At that time, not only Liu Xu himself, but even the emperor and everyone present were dumbfounded. Could it be that the crown prince is ill?Will write such a battle report?
But Liu Xu immediately stood up and said a few fair words for the prince, because he found that whether it was the rumors of the refugees or the battle reports of the Shanhaiguan garrison, they all mentioned incredible things like the prince.

It's just that the refugees said it was Jingguo fairy art, the garrison at Shanhaiguan said it might be demon art, and the prince bluntly said it was demon art, and their descriptions were similar.

The refugees said that the smoke was lingering, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the noise shook the sky.The Shanhaiguan garrison also said that the flames were everywhere, and the noise was loud.But the prince said that the smog was lingering, the fire was flickering, the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, maybe it was summoning thunder.
If the words of one or two people can be said to be a coincidence, but if so many people are saying the same thing, then there may be something wrong with it.

At that time, when this remark came out, everyone was startled, and their hearts sank. After all, the words of gods and ghosts are taboo and feared by everyone. Many people in the Jin Kingdom believe in Buddhism, but there are also people who believe in Taoism in Jingguo. They have heard of those immortals. legend.

If it is true, there are really strange powers and chaotic gods in this world, so how to deal with them!

The emperor also ordered on the spot to send scouts eight hundred miles to the south to find out what happened. At the same time, he wrote back to the prince in Juyongguan and the garrison in Shanhaiguan, asking them to investigate the details and report back quickly.

A few days later, the scouts came back, and the news they brought back was that the outside of Nanjing City had been cleaned up and nothing was left, but Nanjing City had indeed been occupied by the Jing Army, and there were still a large number of elite soldiers stationed there.

Now, everyone's heart was cast with a shadow, even Liu Xu, a Confucian scholar, was a little frightened. It doesn't matter that no trace was left. The important thing is that Jing Guo has captured Nanjing in a short time. It was a defeat, and more than half of those news had been confirmed!

Liu Xu is a Confucian student. Confucianism talks about the destiny and doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. But after all, whether he is afraid or not is another matter. The thing is getting more and more bizarre, even so bizarre that they can't understand it with their common sense.

Along with the scouts, there was also a letter written by the crown prince, and a letter written by King Jing Guoping.

In this matter, what the emperor read was the letter written by King Pingnan.

The prince's letter has been circulated by everyone, and the prince added some details, such as Jing Jun's boat puffing and spitting flames in the Wuding River, and it made a loud noise, filled with smoke, and was able to smash the Liao army into mud; for example, the south bank of the Wuding River At first, the two or three thousand Jing troops formed a strange square formation, and slowly advanced for more than ten miles from east to west. Wherever they went, the Liao army collapsed and could not confront them.

Another example is the cavalry of the Liao army crossing from the upper reaches by force, besieging the rout of the Liao army, and the forced landings are all over the mountains and plains, and the number is countless. Most of the tens of thousands of Liao troops were either captured or killed.
This battle report is not as hasty as before, but writes about the battle outside Nanjing that day from morning to evening. It seems that everyone has a clearer understanding of what happened that day.

But after looking around, everyone frowned and looked even more puzzled, because... this is more like a demon!

It is also written in detail, the boat that swallows flames can tear a large number of people apart, and the flaming short spear can instantly make a large number of people fall to the ground and die miserably
Could it be that Jing Guo's Immortal Method really failed!The prince even said that he really wanted to go south to Jingguo to seek immortality and ask questions. The emperor was so angry that he scolded him for being a fool.

But these are not important anymore, what everyone is more curious about now is the letter in the hands of the emperor, because this letter was written by King Jing Guoping Nan himself, and those strange things are all written by him.

I have heard stories about him defeating one hundred thousand with one thousand before, and some people said that he was General Thor, or that Wenquxing was born into the world. Everyone just thought it was funny and regarded it as Jingguo folk nonsense, but listening to these stories now seems a bit strange. Subtle.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Wanyan Wugu shook the letter in his hand and said slowly: "He wants someone from me."

No one spoke, just waited for the following.

"Former Princess of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yali." Wan Yan Wu Gu Nai said weakly.

Wanyan Zongbi took the lead in slapping the desk in front of him and stood up: "That's unreasonable! That woman has been promised to Liang'er, what does he want to do! There are so many beautiful women in the world, but he just stares at this one. I think he is deliberately provocative and wants to humiliate me. Dajin Kingdom!"

Wanyan Wugu waved his hand to signal him not to get excited, Wanyan Zongbi sat down angrily.

Immediately, he looked at Liu Xu, who stood up with his hands clasped together, and everyone looked over, without much surprise.

The state of gold was established, the emperor ascended the throne, and after the foreign war ended, his life became much easier.

Because once the war stops, the next step is to govern.

Entrusting princes and rewarding meritorious officials, the emperor has long set the tone to honor Confucius and Mencius, and follow the rules of the Central Plains. Naturally, many things have to be consulted with him, and even directly entrusted to him.

In this way, he gradually became the most sought after and curry favored person in the court from the public's criticism. After all, who doesn't want the power of reward?
In addition, King Pingnan's great victory also changed the attitude of many people who opposed and ridiculed him before, and they showed their favor to him one after another, because he had repeatedly reminded the emperor to be careful of that young prince of Jingguo.

At the beginning, everyone didn't think so, and even ridiculed them. Now that King Pingnan's deeds have been spread, it proves that what he said last year is correct. Naturally, some people admire him to the point of admiration. He never expected that he would inadvertently use the enemy's hand to strengthen himself. status.

Now that he has been appointed by the emperor as a minister, the more he can get along in the court of the Kingdom of Jin, the better. Most of the bitterness, ostracism, and oppression before him have passed.

Now that he is speaking, everyone respects him enough, instead of groaning.

"Your Majesty, I think the reason why King Pingnan is like this is that one possibility is that he is holding on to the Yelu boulder." Liu Xu said. As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion.

"Even if King Pingnan is so beautiful, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he is immoral, and he wants to try something new and find a foreign princess, it's not worth asking us for someone we haven't seen before. He doesn't know how beautiful or ugly this person is. At the risk of offending my Dajin Kingdom.

And Yelu Dashi's exchange condition given to him by the emperor before was to treat Yelu Yali kindly. The old people in the Liao Palace also said that Yelu Dashi cared about and valued his younger niece very much.So in my opinion, it is possible that Yelu Yali is the condition, the condition that Yelu Dashi offered to King Pingnan.

Another possibility is to stabilize people's hearts. Based on the current situation, the land from Bazhou and Xiongzhou to the north, to the east of Juyongguan, and the south of Shanhaiguan will be the boundary of Jingguo in the future.There are not only Han people in these places, but also many Khitan people. After Jing Guo occupied it, if he wanted to calm people down and let the Khitan people fall under his rule, he needed Yelu Yali.

Yelu Yali is the former princess of the Liao Kingdom. King Pingnan can marry her himself, or betroth her to the royal family of Jingguo. Either way, it can calm people's hearts and stabilize the north.

So from this point of view, no matter what kind of woman he seems to want, in fact, he must either be a general, or be able to calm people's hearts, or both. This King Pingnan is really cunning and cunning, and should not be underestimated, Your Majesty. "

After Liu Xu's analysis, everyone present nodded and suddenly realized that they couldn't give it away.

Even Wanyan Zongbi, who was furious before, came to his senses and said, "There are so many ways?" After speaking, he scratched his head.

Wan Yan Wugu Nai was very happy, nodded and praised: "Good! What you said is so penetrating, it is enlightening."

Liu Xu cupped his hands and sat down.

But Wanyan Wugunai sighed softly again immediately, and whispered to himself: "But that young King Pingnan is more cunning than you think."

This sentence was his soliloquy, no one around heard him, he put away the letter after he finished speaking, it seemed that he was not going to show this letter written by King Pingnan to others.

The discussion that day has also changed from whether it should be given to people or not, to how King Pingnan defeated the Liao Kingdom. There are various voices, some people really believe that it is Jingguo Immortal Method, some think it is a blindfold method, and some think Pingnan Nan Wang may have surrendered without hitting Yelu Dashi, etc., and there are even people who want to go south to Jingguo to seek immortality.
There are all kinds of speculations, but one thing remains unchanged, that is, the King Jing, who was only a legend before, is now getting closer and closer to their Da Jin.

"Are you so confident?" In the big tent, Wei Yubai asked while writing a letter for him.

Gillian wrote it for him at home, because what he wrote at that level is not eye-catching, but now he dictates it, and Wei Yubai writes it for him. It is a detailed battle report on the northern battlefield. These are written for the emperor to discuss meritorious service. Rewarded.

As far as Li Xingzhou is concerned, what he wants now is the high and supreme position, so he knows very well that his military exploits are useless, nothing more than showing off.So he tried his best to push it to Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Wei Yubai and others.

Only by getting the people around him to the top as soon as possible, in the court, he will have cronies, right-hand men, and be invincible. This is why there is one emperor and one courtier.

"Of course you can be confident about what you are [-]% sure of." Li Xingzhou smiled, and he was talking about Yelu Yali.

Why is he so confident, because he has back hands.

After he went north, he has been receiving letters from the Wangfu Intelligence Bureau, about every seven to ten days, without interruption.

These letters are the information collected from various merchants by the branches in the north and south of the Wangfu. Fang Xin sorted out and sorted out the essence of them, and then sent them to him continuously. Among them, he threatened Jin Guo The biggest trump card.
