Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 259 Escape eastward

Tang Yunfu's actions were concealed and quick, and time did not allow him to delay any longer. The situation in Fang Yudao was already extremely dangerous for the aristocratic family and the Tang family.

The actions of the Shouan Dao Family were so inappropriate. This kind of news was like a mountain, and the people below were just trying to escape for their lives.

If Zhao Jun's attack was slower, Fangyu Road would be nothing but scorched earth, and the people would have dragged their families and families to the Xia Kingdom, spontaneously fortifying the walls and clearing the country.

Each family persuaded them one by one to win the support of 20,000 neutral troops, acted secretly, and prepared to seize command by force.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is no plan that can be hidden. There are all kinds of relationships and networks, maybe because of a slip of the tongue, or maybe for some other reason.

A few days before the connection was established, Shao Guoliang knew that he had noticed something, but he was not sure until someone tipped him off.

"General Shao, someone wants to harm you!"

One of the assistant generals caught him while he was inspecting the military camp and reminded Shao Guoliang. Shao Guoliang made a sound in his heart but remained calm.

Subsequently, the location of the barracks was changed, and only when I found it did I find the opportunity to talk to General Pi.

"What's going on?" I felt something, but I didn't grasp the center of gravity. I felt that the family should have made some moves, so they accepted it quietly, but there was something abnormal about it.

"General Tang has united all the major families to seize your power, so he sent your troops to the front line to prepare to seize your power in the past few days."

General Pi looked around at no one, and then spoke slowly and carefully. The news he gave was so important that Shao Guoliang almost lost his balance.

"General Tang? How is it possible? He and I swore in front of the palace not to harm the interests of Zhao State and to work together to recapture Shou'an Fangyu Road."

Shao Guoliang thought that he had given Tang Yunfu an answer and agreed to divide the population equally. Tang Yunfu should have stopped. Why did he suddenly want to confront him again?

"Old General Shao, you are absolutely correct. General Tang has contacted many aristocratic families to control you and wants to divide the Shao family. He has reported to the court that you are Tongxia, so he has been reluctant to move forward."

General Bi whispered, Shao Guoliang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Thinking carefully about all the strange things that had happened for a long time, he remained silent for a long time.

"How do you know? Your level is not high enough to participate in such a big event."

He didn't fully believe it, and he didn't recognize this general either. He just frowned, his face darkened, and there was no expression at all.

"This humble post has a keen ear. I happened to hear General Tang and General Ma discussing while on duty outside. If General Shao doesn't believe me, give it a try."

General Pi was not angry and immediately asked Shao Guoliang to try to prove that he was telling the truth.

"I believe it." He knew all about the deployment of the army. Many of his directly subordinate soldiers were transferred to the border front to guard against Xia's attack.

"Old General Shao, my family is from an ordinary family in Shouan. When I heard the old general's decision, I was very encouraged. Old General, you speak for us ordinary people, so I risked my life to send you a message, old general. Please hurry up. Run before it’s too late.”

General Pi reminded, his expression full of worry and anxiety.

"I understand, I will resolve it." Shao Guoliang showed a confident expression, but in fact he was very panicked inside.

Tang Yunfu's betrayal shocked him. In his opinion, the Tang family was not very damaged. After all, they had the equal population promised by themselves. They could even expand while other aristocratic families were declining.

They were all injured, and the Tang family had its own supplements, so the injuries suffered by the Tang family were small, which can be regarded as bridging the relationship between the Tang family and the Shao family.

He really missed it. Tang Yunfu had no regard for his own face and how much he didn't trust his promise. At the same time, he had a long-term vision and short-term behavior.

After thinking about it all night, I carefully observed the general's attitude and found that he was indeed isolated. I felt extremely disappointed for a while. Is this the vision of the Zhao family?

Don't they understand the danger of Xia Kingdom? Don't they know that if the Xia Kingdom wins, the aristocratic family system will be abolished, and there may be a new aristocratic family to replace the old aristocratic family, but the old aristocratic family will be swept into the garbage dump.

Knowing that it was bad to do so, but not knowing that it was stupid to follow, Shao Guoliang felt like he couldn't breathe in this stupid and bad environment.

My heart is cold and disheartened. I originally planned to set a precedent for the Zhao State and ease the relationship between the aristocratic families and the people, but I have already taken the lead in cutting off the flesh. In the face of national interests, these aristocratic families still have their own small ideas. I am so disappointed. I feel a little bit like King Zhao.

Fighting against Jingguo and Zhengguo, which has the same system, I can't experience this feeling. Everyone is similar. But compared with Xiaguo's strict discipline and the support of the people, it really feels like the sky and the earth are different. Feeling deep despair.

At the same time, I have a sense of crisis. I don’t know what the specific agreement of these people is, what they will do to me, whether they will be under house arrest or killed. I want to go to the extreme, as General Pi said, divide the Shao family’s land and kill me. As long as they regain it If Fang Yu and Shouan are eliminated, the court will not hold them accountable afterwards.

After thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little more disappointed with the court. The court could not even protect the officials it appointed, and I felt cold all over.

So Shao Guoliang prepared to save himself. It was too late to write a letter to the court. He would seize power in a few days. So Shao Guoliang struggled for a whole night and thought about the situation between Zhao and Xia. These short-sighted and stupid aristocratic families have a long-term but bad vision. The aristocratic family, the local people, the family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the current situation in the world, stayed up all night.

With bloodshot eyes, I made a decision that was unimaginably reasonable but difficult, forced but in line with my heart.

Go to summer! Betrayed Zhao and went to Xia.

The Xia Kingdom is not friendly to the aristocratic family, but for now it is his only way to survive. Being unfriendly is better than death. The Xia Kingdom is not friendly to the aristocratic family, but it does not mean that it excludes them. As long as they adapt to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom welcomes everyone. people.

This decision was extremely difficult, and he had to make it.

He does not speculate on the family with the greatest malice. He has a clear understanding of the family's bottom line. It is normal to eradicate the roots. Even if he hesitates for a moment, it is disrespectful to the family's struggle.

He didn't dare to alert the enemy. The generals around him who came from aristocratic families couldn't believe that anyone could become Tang Yunfu's accomplice. He was also afraid of being exposed and directly tearing his face, so he pretended to be nonchalant. Shao Guoliang first wrote a letter to his family, asking them to go to Fangyu Road. He did not transfer his direct troops back for fear of arousing suspicion, but continued to mobilize them to the front line.

After spending some time, I prepared to inspect the front line and return to the troops I was familiar with to ensure my own safety.

He could only ensure the loyalty of 10,000 people, and the direct subordinates had 20,000 people, but some were loyal to both Zhao and him. He could guarantee that only 10,000 people were loyal to him, so he secretly adjusted these 10,000 people. At this point, we set up defenses at the Shou'an Fangyu border.

There is something special about going to Xia. Generally, the Xia Kingdom doesn’t pay much attention to the Xia Kingdom. There are many generals.

Therefore, you can gain attention by bringing elite soldiers as much as possible. It is hard to say how prosperous you are. King Xia is tolerant and sensible. Wealth and honor can be obtained.

What he wanted most was to take away the 20,000 Xuanjia Army directly under him, but unfortunately he couldn't. These 10,000 people were his greatest sincerity and could guarantee that these people would surrender without conflict or causing trouble.

After giving the order to let the tribesmen cross the pass, Shao Guoliang waited for about a morning and ordered the army to advance towards Fangyu Road. The army, which did not know why, trusted their old general and had no doubts, thinking that they were going to attack Fangyu Road.

When they marched to dusk, they were blocked by a heavy army on the road. It was not the army of Xia State, but the Xuanjia Army of Zhao State.

"Fell into a trap." When Shao Guoliang saw the blocking Xuan Jiajun, he immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap and had fallen into a trap designed by others. The general was just a bait, using his sense of instability to prompt him to rebel.

It is difficult for them to deal with them in name. After all, they are the commander-in-chief appointed by King Zhao. The proportion of Xuanjia Army and King Zhao's royal family is very heavy. If there is a conflict, it is difficult to control themselves with righteousness.

It's different now. Shao Guoliang has rebelled, which means that the halo of commander in his body is no longer there.

Sure enough, with the help of loudspeaker equipment, the other party loudly persuaded them to surrender.

"Commanders, the traitor Shao Guoliang is trying to betray Zhao Benxia. His relatives and relatives have been captured. Soldiers, please do not be fooled. Put down your weapons and surrender as soon as possible. If you get lost, you will know how to return."

Shao Guoliang's army exploded and there were riots. They didn't ask for orders before, but now they know they are going to Xia Kingdom to surrender. Many people can't accept it.

"Shao Guoliang, now we have all the stolen goods. An army of 20,000 came to stop us. There were 20,000 pursuers behind us, but we were captured without mercy. Your Majesty will serve your country loyally before you, and I will spare your life and that of your family."

After persuading the soldiers, he also advised Shao Guoliang, because the purpose was to control Shao Guoliang in a reasonable and compliant manner.

"Stop talking nonsense, you are a traitor and a worm in the country. Tang Yunfu, I thought you were the head of the Tang family with great foresight, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted. The threat from the Xia Kingdom is so great. You don't want to cure it and solve the people's difficulties. You only want to fight for power and gain. It’s so sad that you are obsessed with petty gains.”

He yelled the same thing, and after holding back the words for two or three days, he cursed him. He was not short-sighted. Tang Yunfu was a bad person. As a noble family, he should keep a clear distance from the country.

Zhuang Xun, a barbarian, forced the family to side with the country. The Shao family also took the initiative to give in because of the tiger Xia Guo, but the result was a hostile trap by colleagues.

"Why are you still quibbling? The threat from the Xia Kingdom is huge, and you actually want to bring my Zhao Kingdom's elite to surrender to the Xia Kingdom. Shao Pifu, you are ignoring the country's favor!"

Tang Yunfu naturally didn't want to accept such words. Of course he understood how big the threat from Xia Guo was, and he also understood how much Shao Guoliang's approach could suppress Xia Guo's influence, but his position did not allow him to agree.

"Haha, aren't you the one who forced me? You want to isolate me and frame me, don't you just want to attack Fangyu Road as soon as possible? Do you want to raise the people like animals? You are not willing to give benefits to the people and let them sincerely stay in Zhao Kingdom .”

Shao Guoliang said angrily that the Shao family was not charitable, but Shao Guoliang took a crucial step to benefit the people and could attack at will from the moral high ground.

"Bewitched by the Jin Yiwei, Shao Guoliang, are you worthy of His Majesty's great trust in you? The people were incited and coerced. It seems that the Kingdom of Xia is like the Kingdom of Heaven. Where did King Xia's harem come from? It was not just to plunder beauties from all over the world, but such a barbaric monarch was You are touted as being unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, but you want to take refuge in such an unscrupulous monarch."

Instead of falling into Shao Guoliang's rhythm, each saying his own thing, Tang Yunfu just wanted to confirm the fact that Shao Guoliang rebelled. He was wrong about the people's questions, so he would not answer them.

"The unvirtuous monarch allocates land to the people, and the virtuous ones rob the people's land and attach it to the flesh and blood of the country. They only suck blood but do not create value. Since this is the case, my fellow soldiers, I, Shao Guoliang, have rebelled. It's okay for Zhao to not wait. I petitioned for the people and was framed. Under the blue sky, the temples were filled with ghosts and monsters. Please help me kill the ghosts."

Emotions were aroused. Originally, they were just scolding those who cared about their own interests and completely ignored the interests of the country and their own long-term interests. The anger gradually spread and became dissatisfaction with the entire country.

Inspired by him, he shouted out his rebellion, but there was no scene of taking him down left and right. Instead, he followed the general's order and launched an attack formation.

"If you are stubborn, Shao Guoliang, all your people are here! Surrendering can save the lives of your whole family. Soldiers, don't forget that your family members are in Zhao State." Realizing that something was amiss, Tang Yunfu moved out and threatened the other party's family members. , we will definitely win in a fight. With twice the number of troops, we can win ugly.

"Will you let us go? The soldiers support me. How can I put the soldiers into danger for my own family? Soldiers who resist Zhao will only die if they surrender. Most of the soldiers will benefit from the division of land. Hey, follow me to charge, kill the ghosts, and go to Xia Kingdom."

The old body aroused the blood in the chest, surrendered, and shouted inflammatory slogans. Shao Guoliang had been forced into a corner, why should he surrender? As the head of the aristocratic family, Shao Guoliang was weak in compromise, but as a Coach, dying on the battlefield should be your destiny.

With hatred, he hated Zhao State's garbage system with many aristocratic families, and could not interfere with its interests, even though he was a member of the aristocratic family.

He hated the power checks and balances of the emperor and the ministers, so he made a family political enemy to check and balance himself and frame him.

I hate my own tolerance, Tang Yunfu's short-sightedness, and his tolerance for wanting to resolve the grievances between the two families. How could he be so sincere as a member of an aristocratic family!

The commander had already charged, the morale of the inspired soldiers was greatly boosted, and a kind of fanatical emotion dominated the battlefield.

He had already ignored Shao Guoliang's family members, but what about the families of the soldiers? The logic was weird but effective, and Shao Guoliang grasped one point. He judged the rebels along with the entire army, and the rebels would only die.

"Kill me..." In comparison, Tang Yunfu's momentum was much lower. After all, there was great moral pressure, but their professionalism allowed them to quickly organize a corresponding array to deal with the impact.

The fighting Xuanjia Army made the gods in the sky choke, but what surprised the gods even more was the smoke and dust rolling up in the distance. A large number of cavalry rolled up bursts of dust and smoke, which looked like earth-colored smoke from a distance.

With bright armor and strong horses, the Tiance Army came, and they appeared on Tang Yunfu's back. The situation seemed to have changed.
