Chapter 397 – Soldiers Arrive at the Imperial Capital
Chapter 397 – Soldiering to the Imperial Capital
Imperial Capital, outside the East City Gate, half of the people were nowhere to be found, and the ground was a mess.
Outside the moat, 100,000 iron horsemen stretched for ten miles, flags covering the sky, hoofs, dust flying.
At the front of the iron cavalry, surrounded by Murong Huo, Jiang Banye, Sai Qingzhu and hundreds of tiger generals, Xin Zhuo rode a two-horned demon horse, looking at the imperial capital and the “Shenwu Gate” in front of him.
He came here by a special detour, when he arrived by boat from the frontier with Zhang Guangpu, he was shocked by the spectacular and majestic imperial capital city gate, and even had a sense of inferiority.
Now that he came again, he felt nothing more than that.
This is the difference between mentality and status, when you are still an ordinary people, that is, the larger houses feel very envious, when you do a place officials, but feel that the whole city is just so.
But when you as a counter-king, plotting the world, and then look at the imperial capital, also regarded as idle.
He retracted his gaze, examined his body, and couldn’t help but sigh sadly, his meridians further atrophied, and his body was like a sieve, constantly losing his life span, and the journey of a few hundred miles had already seized the life span of more than three thousand sacrificial spirits.
If not for this, even if one had heavenly abilities, they would have turned into a withered bone by now.
If he didn’t have the status of King of Qin and too many pawns at his disposal, where would he go to develop so many Sacrificial Spirits?
But then again, things in the world have loss and gain, you get the status, the starting point of having countless lifespan sacrifice spirit is to have to conquer the imperial power, but not to conquer the imperial power, how will I create the current situation?
His only hope now is that the sacrifice of the Spirit of Zhou, and then the sacrifice of the Spirit of Confucianism, forced entry into the Immortal, when I think it will be better?
Laughing, he turned back and asked Cui Ying’er: “That year, you said on Volsung Mountain, that year, the Longzhou Sectional Envoy led 30,000 iron horsemen to attack the imperial capital, and as a result, he was repelled by an old eunuch in the imperial palace with a slap, I wonder if this old eunuch will still do it?”
Cui Ying’er’s face was stagnant, a little embarrassed and squirming: “I wasn’t sure back then, I was talking nonsense, it was all told to me by the old pawn!”
At first, the old master was only a ninth grade, and she was a young girl who didn’t know anything about martial arts, so how much vision and style did she have? It was all just hearsay, even the realm of martial artists was also said plausibly.
“The Servant Immortal Hall does not dare!”
But it was Win Jianying who said, “The Longzhou Sectional Minister had no more than one or two prefectures and no more than 30,000 soldiers, and because of his resentment of the imperial court’s order to lay off troops, he came to the imperial capital to show off his military might.
His Highness has tens of thousands of miles of land in Western Qin, and now has half of the country, with millions of soldiers, the emperor’s fortune has become, that is, the Immortals do not dare to stroke the tiger’s whiskers!
That’s why the Longzhou Sectional Minister and Your Highness are not the same!”
Xin Zhuo no longer speak, he has seen the moat rising drawbridge and the city wall densely packed with soldiers of the Great Zhou, is in a hurry to prepare for the defense of the city, a group of purple-robed officials and the six departments of the officials to wait in line.
“Your Highness! What should be done?” Jiang Ban Er had a murderous look on her face and was eager to try.
Xin Zhuo was silent for a long time and ordered, “The imperial capital no longer has any soldiers to leave the city, arrange for the sons and daughters to build siege equipment, and then send someone to send word to the city walls, saying that I, Jiang Yuqing, am going to go into the imperial capital to support the gods and goddesses of society!”
“Here!”
Jiang Barbarian and dozens of other generals went down to arrange everything.
Not far away, on the higher ground, there were already personal guards who had set up a marquee.
Xin Zhuo dismounted and walked into the tent, his body instantly convulsed, white hair on his head grew in vain, and his footsteps stumbled a bit.
“Your Highness!” Win Jianying, Sai Qingzhu, and Cui Ying’er, who had followed him in, were startled and hurriedly went forward to assist him.
Xin Zhuo shook his head and sat down behind the bookcase, once again seizing the lifespan of the new sacrificial spirit.
A few moments later, a head full of Chinese hair once again turned black, only, the problem of the meridians could not be solved.
On the way, he tried to use the “xxxx” medical technique to treat it, but it was useless, as if this dark injury came from heaven and earth, and was not something that could be cured by medical techniques at all.
“Your Highness, is it really alright?”
Sai Qingzhu, Sweet Potato and the others who had been worried all the way were teary-eyed and crying.
Cui Ying’er and Han Qiniang also turned their heads and wiped their tears straight away.
Xin Zhuo’s physical condition, the few people who were close to him, knew too well, sometimes his face was aging easily, sometimes he was back to normal, but his face was wearing a strong pain, which was completely different from when His Highness pretended to be sick to kill the court experts!
They knew that something was really wrong with King Qin’s body! Xin Zhuo was not only their master, but also their spiritual pillar, as well as the lord of tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and millions of troops in Western Qin, once there was a loss, the sky was going to collapse.
“No need to cry! There’s no harm done!”
Xin Zhuo comforted a few people, who expected the crying to be even louder, with his temperament truly unhindered, he would not talk like this at all, and would only tease people.
“Alright!” Xin Zhuo had no choice but to change the topic, “Have Tai Seeker Gong and the others arrived yet?”
He led the army to approach the imperial capital, Tai Seekong and the others chased them all the way, after all, where the Qin King is, the military and political center of Western Qin will be where it is.
Without waiting for Sai Qingzhu and the others to answer, outside came Tai Xun Gong and the others’ woeful reply, “I’ve waited until now!”
Saying that, the tent curtains lifted, and a group of people including Tai Seek Gong, Song Lao Chu and Yu Si Liu walked in.
“Does your highness have a specific plan?” Tai Seek Gong opened the door and said: “Is it to attack the imperial capital, or ……”
Xin Zhuo smiled and asked instead of answering: “Why don’t a few gentlemen tell us about the situation in the world first? Unsurprisingly to me, I’m afraid it’s not too good.”
Duke Tai Seeker and the others glanced at each other, Song Lao Chu smiled bitterly: “That’s right! It’s true as Your Highness said, our army also suffered heavy casualties in the two great battles, not only that, the South Li army has once again increased their troops, Su Wuji and the South Ling King have combined their forces, abandoning the line of the Great Mang Mountain, and biting Lin Hao Tian and the others to death.
In the north, Bai Xuan Gui encountered a desperate attack from the elite of the Temple Front Army’s Nine Borders Army!
All the other armies have also been bitten by the local magnates and the soldiers of the governors, assassins, and knuckleheads from all over the world!”
After a long pause, he sighed longingly, “The Great Zhou’s qi has not yet run out!”
The actual meaning is that the people’s livelihood is not so bad that they can’t go on living, the landlords and magnates feel that they are living a good life, and the royal family is still doing well, you are coming against the king, what if you move my cake? Do I still have my land and wealth? That won’t work!
Of course, there is no lack of many truly loyal, brave and righteous people!
There are times when some people can’t be beaten!
In this respect, West Qin is evil and is risking universal condemnation.
Yu Siliu hesitantly handed over a thick pile of zhengbian.
Xin Zhuo took it, casually flipped through a few pages and sighed, from his side’s perspective, it was full of idiots who were stubbornly resisting, but thinking about it differently, it was full of heroic deeds of the diligent king’s troops from all over the Great Zhou.
What Jiang Lin Province governor Ma Degao rate of the whole government loyalists to die defending the city, bloody battle for three days and three nights, the city broke, the whole city men died in battle!
The magistrate of Lianjiang County led his family of more than 300 strong soldiers and all the county magistrates to fight to the death, until no one survived.
And so on and so forth, the story is endless.
He became the second “An Lushan”! Luckily, I don’t have a son!
Xin Zhuo laughed and tossed it aside.
Tai Seek Gong tangled for a while, said: “Moreover, the court still has capable people, that Ning Lingbo old marquis under the ghost of a lot of talent, fighting everywhere, not with our troops directly, but the grain silos around the fire burned clean, and false imperial decree, recruiting the world diligence of the king’s forces, my Western Qin army as trapped in a quagmire.
Grain …… is afraid that it is difficult to support three months! The imperial capital ……”
The implication is that the imperial capital can not be defeated!
“There is no need to attack the Imperial Capital!”
Xin Zhuo’s intention is also not to fight down the imperial capital, the hearts of the people have not been lost, courtiers are not considered to be treacherous and incompetent court, want to fight down such a centuries-old world’s majestic city, not to mention the district of 100,000 cavalry, or to deploy another 300,000 to 500,000, I’m afraid that it is also difficult enough!
“Then …… what is the intention of the generals outside to build siege equipment?” Duke Tai Seeker and the others asked in surprise.
Xin Zhuo got up, walked to the door of the marquee and looked towards the majestic imperial capital of Great Zhou: “To scare them, then to ask for favors, for money and food, to stomp Great Zhou’s face into the stinking gutter, to ask Ji Chunshu to abdicate, and the emperor I will set up!”
Of course, to sacrifice the spirit!
Today and the little girl chatting flirtation, by the wife carrying a knife to chase the day, hiding in the Internet cafe yards, sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll have three more chapters to make up for it later! I’ll correct any typos!
