Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 476: Attacking the Heart

It turned out that Marquis Xuanwu led the soldiers of Xihu Pass to rebel together with the King of Qin and captured all the people in the Duke Ji's Mansion.

Princess Zhaode escaped by chance and then began to take crazy revenge.

Of course, these are rumors spread by most of the people in Xihuguan today.

Some even said that in order to become the emperor, the Prince of Qin organized the Ji Guo Mansion, so in a rage, the Prince of Qin killed all the people in the Ji Guo Mansion, leaving only Princess Zhaode to escape, which is why this happened.

Anyway, the news was spread quite exaggerated, and the people in Xihu Pass were immediately in a panic.

Not only the people of Xihuguan, but even the soldiers and generals began to panic.

After all, the army of Xihuguan has been here for many years and has been living a stable life, so it is natural for them to send their families to Xihuguan to settle down.

This time, the food crisis directly ignited the entire Xihuguan. These soldiers and generals might still be able to rely on military rations, but what about their families?

With so many mouths to feed, they always need to eat, right?
Maybe someone will say, don’t we have land?

You know, as mentioned before, it's just the beginning of spring and the land has just been cultivated. If we want to wait for the crops to mature, we have to wait for at least several months. Are we going to go without food and water for these few months?
There is no food crisis. Even if you have money, you can't buy any food.

There is no food to buy within a radius of 500 miles. What good is it even if you have a lot of money at this time?

"Princess Zhaode, it's really better not to take action."

In the mansion of Marquis Xuanwu, Marquis Xuanwu felt a headache when he listened to the reports from his men.

In just a few days, not only did the people in Xihu Pass become chaotic, but even the morale of his own troops began to waver.

If we continue like this and there is no solution, there might be a mutiny at Xihu Pass.

After all, among these hundreds of thousands of people, not everyone is willing to follow them in rebellion.

"Someone is coming."

"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

"Pass my message and take out some of the food and fodder from the military camp to supply the people in the city."

The man took the order and left. Later, Marquis Xuanwu wrote a letter himself and asked someone to take it to the capital. In this situation, he could only hope for help from the King of Qin.

However, only one day after he sent the letter, he immediately received a letter from the capital. He was quite confused and wondered if the speed was too fast.
As a result, after reading the contents of the letter, Marquis Xuanwu's face suddenly turned dark.

In the letter, the King of Qin hoped that he would immediately arrange people to go to the capital to help stabilize the situation, and also instructed him not to give Tuyuhun any opportunity to take advantage.

If he were to lead his troops to the capital at this time, not to mention whether the people of Xihu Pass would be furious when he left, just the fact that he, a marquis, was to lead so many troops to the capital without any imperial edict, would the checkpoints along the way allow him to pass through?

You can use the slogan of serving the king, but no one is a fool. You, the King of Qin, have made such a big fuss in the capital with 50,000 people from Xihu Pass. Now the people from Xihu Pass are leading a large army to the capital. Is it obvious whether they are going to serve the king or to rebel?
There is absolutely no way to go back. There is only one way to go back, which is to fight all the way back. But how long will it take to wait until we reach the capital?
After a while, what's the point of him going back? By then, the situation over there will be very uncertain, and I'm afraid Xihuguan behind will also be in complete chaos. How can we play by then?
Therefore, he had no intention of doing as the King of Qin ordered. At this moment, it is better to be still than to move. He should stabilize the situation in Xihu Pass first. Otherwise, Xihu Pass would be in chaos before he even goes to Beijing.

"This Princess Zhaode is really ruthless. She directly cut off both sides."

Only at this moment did Marquis Xuanwu truly feel the terrifying ability of Princess Zhaode.

Look at this move, they are in trouble on both fronts. If they want to break the impasse, the only way now is for the King of Qin to seize the throne and use the imperial edict to recall them back to the capital.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wrote another letter, asking the King of Qin to take the throne as soon as possible, and it would be best if he had a legitimate title, otherwise he would still be regarded as a rebel, and then he would inevitably be besieged in the capital, and he would not have a good ending either.

If the King of Qin came to power, he might be able to use his merits in following the emperor to seduce some people on his way back. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

No matter whether the means used by the King of Qin to ascend to the throne were clean or not, as long as he had a legitimate title, there would be no big problem.

This can be considered a last-ditch effort.

It’s a pity that their ideas were good, but they ignored the speed of Li Jiujun’s side.

That’s right, on that day when the King of Qin received the first letter from Marquis Xuanwu, the vanguard of Li Jiujun’s light cavalry had already returned to the outside of the capital. Looking at the capital’s city wall that had been completely destroyed, the vanguard of the light cavalry were horrified.

However, soon, a guard from the hot spring villa found the light cavalry vanguard and explained the situation.

When Li Jiujun came, he had already given instructions that if he didn't know what to do when the time came, he should go to the Hot Spring Villa to ask Princess Zhaode.

The vanguard followed him to the hot spring villa. Huo Junyao meant that there was no need to rush, but they had to guard several gates around the capital to prevent the King of Qin and Xihu Pass from communicating with each other. They only needed to delay time, as Xihu Pass would not be able to hold out for long.

As for the capital, as long as all of Li Jiujun's troops arrived, the Qin King's men would be like chickens and dogs.

Huo Junyao had never thought about the violent attack. She had already made all the arrangements. She only needed to drop a few rounds of bombs every day to harass the enemy and cut off the connection between King Qin and Xihu Pass.

Xihu Pass has no support and cannot hold out for long, and the King of Qin has no support from Xihu Pass and cannot hold out for long either.

When the time is right, she will go out and talk about it. This matter should be settled, unless the King of Qin wants to die, or wants the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Xihu Pass to die.

In her opinion, although the King of Qin had conspiracy and ambition, he also had his own bottom line, which was that he would not see the Yu Dynasty suffer great losses.

And she understood this point clearly, so she took direct action and attacked the enemy's heart.

As for whether the people in Xihu Pass would lose their lives or suffer losses because of the chaos, she had no way to do anything about it. Things had come to this point, and there would always be losses or loss of lives. She was not a good person, but for the sake of her family, what did the situation of the people in Xihu Pass have to do with her?
She doesn't even know him, okay? Maybe at certain times, she would express her sympathy, but when she or her family is in danger, this sympathy does not exist.

In times of chaos, the Virgin Mary is killed first, whether they are bad people or good people, it is not something that Xihuguan can decide.

Besides, Xihuguan was involved in the rebellion, so what if a few people died?
If she didn't do this, and the King of Qin and Marquis Xuanwu really started to make trouble, who knows how many people would have died in various parts of the Yu Dynasty.

Therefore, paying such a price is a good deal in her opinion as a businessman.
