Wei Chen is happy

Chapter 247 There is no way out

Jing Yao and Chu Xu didn't give Meng Yan any chance to react. On the day they dispatched troops on the [-]rd, they promoted an official from the Chu family's faction to be Shangshu Zuocheng, entrusted Meng Yan and him with the imperial government, and then the two were withdrawn from Beijing. Gathering a force of guards, he rushed to Jingzhou in both wind and rain.

Meng Yan was stunned and fainted at the moment. Based on his many years of experience in politics, he knew that Chu Xu and Jing Yao were going to seize power. If Jing Heng was killed in the chaos, the responsibility could be shifted to Zhuge Ke and Jiang Yuan. If the two try their best to turn the tide and wipe out Xichu and return to the capital, then it is common sense for Jing Yao to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend the throne!
coup!Naked power grab!
Meng Yan vomited a mouthful of blood immediately, and was carried back to Meng's house, leaning on the hospital bed, Meng Yan didn't rest, and sent several orders to Qiulin in the palace, and also sent someone to tell Jing Heng quickly. It's a pity that the people he sent out were targeted by Chu Xu's people, and Meng Yan's letter did not reach the army of Zhifa Chu after all.

After Qiulin in the palace knew about this, he was shocked. He hurriedly consulted with Xu Qian, and told Xu Qian the whole story, and then he solemnly said: "General Xu, at the moment of life and death, the Chu family is in danger. Your Majesty is under siege in Jingzhou, life and death are uncertain. If General Xu is planning for the future, General Xu can kill Qiumou now and dedicate Qiumou's head to the Queen Mother. Presumably the Queen Mother will remember your great contribution, you Xu Qian will still be General Habayashi Wei in the future!"

Xu Qian thought that Qiu Lin came to discuss countermeasures with him, and when he heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed like a tight wire, and his face was swollen with anger.

"What is the meaning of Mr. Qiu's words? Xu has been greatly favored by His Majesty. How could he be such a person who cheats on others and abandons his master to buy glory? Xu is born as His Majesty's minister and died as His Majesty's ghost. Don't say that His Majesty is not dead yet. , if His Majesty is really killed, I, Xu Qian, will stick to His Majesty's country to the end. Your Majesty still has the prince! How can others take away this hard-earned country! Duke Qiu, don't provoke me, you and I It's time to discuss a countermeasure!" Xu Qian said anxiously,
Qiu Lin was overjoyed and burst into tears, bowed to Xu Qian, choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty did not choose the wrong person. I am relieved that there is a general guarding the palace city. General Xu, you have to send someone to keep an eye on him now." Empress and Empress Dowager, cut off their communication with the Chu family, close the harem, I will also guard Your Majesty's Mingguang Palace, and I will try my best to protect Your Majesty's Imperial Seal!"

"Okay! Eunuch Qiu, don't worry, I will watch over the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Before leaving, Your Majesty will entrust me with the control of the palace gates. I will strengthen the search and control of the palace gates to ensure the safety of the palace!"

"The whole power of the imperial palace will be handed over to the general!" Qiu Lin bowed again, even if there is an emergency, he still has Yu Ling and Jing Heng's autographed edict, which can mobilize the remaining five guards!Chu Xu transferred away all his Chu family's cronies, so the rest should be those who are loyal to Jing Heng!

Qiu Lin squeezed her waist tightly and looked at the gray sky in front of Mingguang Hall, Jing Heng must be fine!Nothing can happen to Yun Rong!And... and the little prince, even if there is an emergency, then there is Jing Wenyue!

Chu Xu is a veteran of leading troops. After leading a light cavalry for three days, he joined Hanzhong's [-] troops in Xiangyang, and soon Jing Yao raised his account with him in Xiangyang to discuss matters.

"General Hu, what's the situation on the front line now?" Chu Xu stood under the map in Kaijia and asked Xiangyang guard Hu Buwei.

Hu Buwei lived up to his name, and when he didn't receive any instructions from Jing Heng, he didn't act rashly. There were only [-] guards left in Xiangyang. Such an important town is a place that extends in all directions, no matter Chang'an, Hanzhong, Luoyang, Jiangnan, or Jingzhou. If the land is in trouble, he can send troops from Xiangyang, so he is very cautious and dare not send troops lightly.

Jing Heng's will asked him to guard Xiangyang to prevent riots in Sichuan and Shu, and let him be ready to cooperate with Hanzhong to destroy the secret army in Sichuan and Shu at any time.

But now that Hanzhong's troops had been mobilized, he didn't dare to act recklessly. Dahuan had hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. To rescue Jing Heng, he did not rely on numbers, but on tactics.He is a slow person, so he hasn't figured out a way yet.

When Chu Xu asked, he informed him and Jing Yao of the situation on the front line.

"My lord, General Chu, General Yun Qihua and General Yun Mu are currently in Yiyang together. The Langzhou army is waiting for work, forcing them to retreat. Now the water in Dongting is soaring, and the lake is full of storms, which is not conducive to our navy. The Yun family, father and son, have a total of 20 troops, but they are affected by the weather, and the Langzhou army is light and quick, attacking and running after a while, although our army has not suffered heavy losses, it has no size, and it has been wasted!" Hu Bu Said unhurriedly,
"What about His Majesty?" Jing Yao asked,
"Your Majesty's Central Army is in a very critical situation. I haven't received any orders from the Central Army for five consecutive days. I refused to report the spies I sent. Your Majesty's Central Army has also been split by Zhuge Ke and Jiang Yuan. Now Your Majesty's Central Army is only [-] troops are gathered to defend themselves at Yingfengpo!"

"As for the other [-] troops of the Chinese army who were cut off by Zhuge Ke to the east, the situation is not optimistic. Our Jiangling army lost a lot when Zhuge Ke led the troops to the east. Now the river is soaring. I can't make it through at all, and I can't rescue His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty only has [-] soldiers and horses left!" Chu Xu couldn't believe it, and he found the location of Yingfengpo on the map, "This Yingfengpo is to the west, and there are steep mountains behind, and the passage to Jiangling has been blocked by Zhuge. Ke is cut off, within a month, even if we don't attack, we will definitely die!"

Hu Buwei didn't say a word, but he agreed with this fact!

Jing Yao's expression became more serious.

Chu Xu stared at the map and walked back and forth, trying to find a way to break through the crisis!

"What's the current situation in Xichuan?" Chu Xu asked again,
Hu Buwei shook his head, "The people's hearts are quite unstable. Your Majesty originally arranged for a detailed operation to follow Jiang Yuan and Xia Ronghua, trying to find out where the Sichuan and Shu army is so that they can take precautions. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan is also a cunning fox. He made a bitter plan to create the illusion that the secret army of Sichuan and Shu was in Qianzhou. After Qianzhou was in Langzhou, if Langzhou was captured, he would immediately attack Qianzhou and lure His Majesty's army to go deep. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Ke let the Sichuan and Shu army Came down along the Yangtze River and attacked the Chinese army from behind!"

After hearing these words, Chu Xu was really sweating on his forehead. This Zhuge Ke is well-deserved, and he is indeed a descendant of Zhuge Liang. He is really difficult to deal with!
"Your Majesty is not such an easy person to fall for tricks!" Chu Xu sighed,
Hu Buwei smiled wryly, "Then Jiang Yuan is too deceitful. He said that His Majesty would give him...Give Concubine Rong Gui, and he would let His Majesty go!"

"Zhuzi!" Jing Yao was furious!
"Your Majesty has already been humiliated by him once, so how could he be willing to be humiliated a second time, so he led his troops to kill him, and the generals didn't stop him! Afterwards, he retreated steadily, and His Majesty naturally fell for it!" Hu Buwei continued,
"This Jiang Yuan is really a cunning person!" Chu Xu sighed.

Later, Chu Xu thought over and over again and decided to lead troops to Jiangling with Jing Yao first, and told Hu Buwei not to send troops, but to guard the rear. Give it to him!Hu Buwei didn't notice anything, and readily accepted the order.

When Chu Xu and Jing Yao arrived in Jiangling, Chu Xu was not in a hurry to cross the river,

"My lord, your majesty is not at the end of the road yet, and Zhuge Ke has cut off his connection with the outside world. He doesn't know we're here, so he might as well wait. Let's attack again when they fight to the death!"

Jing Yao is indifferent, Chu Xu's move is too ruthless, and when Jing Heng and Xi Chu are both injured, he will swing up the army again, wait for work with ease, and wipe them all out, grab the credit, his heart is really vicious, Jing Yao can't bear it, and his face looks ashamed , He just shot the bow and there is no turning back, he has no way out, he can only fight to the end!
