Chapter 40 The Meeting of Two Kings
Mu Tianju sent someone to send a message to Sima Chong and Zhao Yibiao, informing them of the order to take the Pingxi, and asking them to accompany King Jingbei to Xiamaguan to meet King Pingxi. He told them to advise King Pingxi at that time.
Only by joining forces with King Jingbei to fight against the court can we ensure that the Western Regions are not wiped out by the imperial soldiers.
"What should we do if King Pingxi refuses to listen to advice and insists on refusing to cooperate with King Jingbei and wants to be unfavorable to King Jingbei?" Zhao Yibiao said with some concern.
"I'm also very worried." Mu Tianju said: "The King of Pingxi only asked King Jingbei to go there alone, afraid there was a fraud."
"What did King Jingbei think about it?" Sima Chong asked.
"He was very happy and agreed in one go. Now he has gone back to change his clothes and will arrive immediately." General Mu replied.
At this time, Miss Jinglan walked into the hall and heard their conversation. She smiled and said, "I think you are worried about it. Since King Jingbei has agreed to go, you must have known it in your heart. You don't have to worry anymore.
”
"In my opinion, King Jingbei is much smarter than my brother Tianlang. You really don't have to worry about him. He has his own way." Jinglan said confidently.
"How can I see it?" Zhao Yibiao asked.
Miss Jinglan walked to his father with a smile, pointed at Zhao Yibiao and said, "Dad, you see this fool, you have been put on a trick, and you have forgotten so quickly? Don't you know how King Jingbei entered.
Is it from Tongyuan City?"
"Well, I have already found out that among the more than 2,000 new recruits we recruited in the early stage, many of them were recruited from the garrison troops in the Northern Region. It seems that they were all arranged by King Jingbei in advance. This is me
I accidentally caught my thoughts." Zhao Yibiao said embarrassedly.
"Think about it, wasn't it all more than a month ago when Zhao Duwei recruited these new recruits? Did King Jingbei know in advance that he was going to defeat Suiyuan Pass? Or was this person's information?
Things are like gods. Now that I have taken one step, I have seen ten steps away.” Jinglan analyzed.
"Look at the troops he led, with high morale and strong fighting spirit, and there is no such thing as defeated soldiers. I even suspected that his defeat in Suiyuan Pass was planned in advance, and it was probably just a strategic shift. In this way, this
People are scheming and calculating, everything is in his control. You are still worried about him here, so there is such a worry." Jinglan continued.
"Is that true? Then why did I hear that when King Jingbei escaped from Suiyuan Pass, his wife and children were burned to death by the court officers and soldiers in the palace?" Zhao Yibiao seemed a little unbelievable about Jinglan's analysis.
"Is it true? In that case, I won't know. Maybe it was a sudden change, and it was unexpected." Jinglan was also quite surprised when she heard Zhao Yibiao's words.
"Yes, I heard that Liu Youlong, the general under King Jingbei, secretly surrendered to the court, promoted affairs in the city, opened the city gate and let the court army enter Suiyuan Pass, which led to King Jingbei's defeat and fleeing." Sima Chong said.
Everyone was talking, and the guards came to report that the King of Jingbei arrived and was waiting in front of the mansion.
Lord Mu immediately asked King Jingbei to take the seat, and ordered Sima Chong and Zhao Yibiao to prepare quickly. Later, he accompanied King Jingbei to Xiamaguan to meet King Pingxi Wu Yuguo.
After the three of them packed up, they left Tongyuan City together and walked forward quickly. In less than half a day, they arrived in front of Xiamaguan City.
After the announcement, the city gate was wide open, and military advisor Wang Jianyi and general Fan Tiancheng came out. After they got off the horse and came to the front of King Jingbei to show their respect to him, they invited the three of them into the city.
The group of people walked towards the Prince Jingbei's palace under the leadership of two cavalry guards, and soon arrived at the Prince Pingxi Palace.
King Jingbei looked up and saw a magnificent and magnificent palace standing in front of him. Two rows of warriors holding swords stood on both sides of the wide platform in front of the hall, arranged neatly and majestic, and a scene of grand and majestic
.
At this time, King Pingxi appeared on the platform, and he led all the civil officials and generals of the royal palace to welcome the general. King Jingbei, Sima Chong, Zhao Yibiao and other three had already got off the horse and stood still. King Jingbei and King Pingxi bowed to each other.
After a while of greetings, both of them walked towards the mansion, and everyone entered one after another.
When they arrived in front of Yin'an Hall, all the civil officials and military generals, Sima Chong, Zhao Yibiao and others stopped. King Pingxi, accompanied by King Jingbei, Wang Jianyi's military advisor, General Fan Tiancheng and General Wu Sheng of Xiamaguan, and others, and took a seat.
"It is a blessing for me to come to the Western Regions this time. I'm afraid I haven't met you for 17 or 18 years since the last time I parted in the capital, right?" King Pingxi asked King Jingbei after he sat down.
"It's true. In fact, when I heard that the king took the lead in resisting the order after the imperial court Yijun, I felt respect and admired what King Pingxi did." King Jingbei said, "It is said that my little sister was told that the court was accused of the court."
When I was arrested, I planned to go west to the king, and I really regarded the king as my last backer for the Chu family. I didn't expect that my sister's attempted wish that day would be fulfilled today." Chu Muyun was humble and dissatisfied.
Said humbly.
"Yes, but unfortunately, I don't know about this, otherwise I would have sent someone to help me, and the Crown Princess would not have been harmed by the thief." King Pingxi said with some regret. After hesitating, he suddenly became aware of it.
He asked with a deep face: "But why did you suddenly come to the capital from the Northern Region to start a crime, but you did not communicate with the prince Wu Shi in advance? So the army you led was blocked by the court on the spot and took it away
It is proof that all the people were killed, which even affected their family members and even the prince’s innocence.”
"This is a bad word. I entered the palace at that time. I was ordered by the prince to escort a large number of rare treasures to present gifts to the emperor's throne ceremony. There were less than 200 soldiers accompanying him. Where could there be any army, and there were no warriors in the warriors,
It was just framed by a villain. Please don’t believe the rumors.”
"Oh, then were you going to express your sincerity to the rebel Wu Beikun? Don't you know that he privately tampers with the secret edict of the late emperor and usurped the throne and sought power under the instructions of Empress Dowager Huang? Have you forgotten that the crown prince Wu Shizheng
, Is your Chu family's virtuous son-in-law the successor appointed by Emperor Taizu?" King Pingxi stood up from his chair and asked sternly, "I think you have other plans and want to force the palace in the chaos.
We have usurped the world of the Central Plains. Didn’t Khan from Qifan give you any benefits?!” After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and overturned the teacup on the table to the ground, making a broken sound.
In an instant, dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed out from behind the screens on both sides to surrounded King Jingbei Chu Muyun. The ministers accompanying him hurriedly stood up and retreated to the side.
"Take the rebel Chu Muyun down for me!" With the order from King Pingxi, the soldiers were about to come forward to capture King Jingbei.
"Let's wait!" Seeing this, King Jingbei stood up from the chair calmly, calmly took off his helmet, took off his armor, and handed the sword to the soldiers, saying, "Since King Pingxi does not trust me, I am the younger brother.
I would also like to give this head to you and exchange it for some rewards to the court. I pity my little sister, I was a mistake in the past, and it was a waste of effort." After saying that, she cut her backs and tied up the soldiers.
solid.
When the soldiers pushed King Jingbei out of the hall gate, King Jingbei stopped and turned around and said to King Pingxi: "After I was defeated at Suiyuan Pass, the court will send heavy troops to conquer the Western Regions in the near future. I
I brought 20,000 elite troops from the Northern Territory and are now stationed in Tongyuan City. Before coming, I had explained to my generals clearly that if I was not here, the generals must be loyal to King Pingxi, and all the troops led by the king will be ordered by the king.
Resisting the court together is the priority." After saying that, he left with his head held high.
After King Pingxi took what King Jingbei said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Today he took the risk to take down King Jingbei Chu Muyun. The thing that worried him the most was the 20,000 elite soldiers of King Jingbei in Tongyuan County. Once they rebelled,
Not to mention that Kirihara will lose, even his Shimaguan is in danger.
He didn't expect that King Jingbei did not threaten the Kirihara garrison, but instead expressed that his army was willing to obey his orders. He couldn't figure out what King Jingbei said meant, whether it was true or false, or was threatening him?
Originally, King Pingxi had his own plans to take down King Jingbei Chu Muyun, but the fact that King Jingbei's 20,000 elite Chen Bing Tongyuan City was indeed a big trouble for him. He had not yet thought about what to do,
