Dajin royal family

Chapter 47 Defeat
On August 30th of the second year of Hongye, Yang Taisu led an army of [-] and defeated the rebel army of the King of Han in Dongjun. Yin County.

Now there are only 30 soldiers left in the hands of the King of Han, and [-] soldiers will die in this war and flee.

The King of Han's army occupied Dongxiang County. In the temporary government office, the King of Han sat on the ground, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and he was no longer as high-spirited as when he raised his army two months ago.

Cui Qi stood under the hall, staring at the man lying on the ground, the blood in his heart suddenly became cold, and a feeling of despair emerged spontaneously.

Is it the fault of the conspirators that the war has become what it is now?The fault of a good fighter?He felt that there were all of them. They were too hesitant after occupying Dongjun. They should take Xingyang County immediately while the imperial army's foothold is not stable, and advance to Luoyang.

It's a pity that they were too stupid to sit back and watch the fighters lose their chances, and watch the imperial army contain them and make a leisurely layout. In the end, the failure of a war turned into the failure of this uprising.

Now, the plan to go south also failed, and was besieged by Yang Taisu in Dongxiang County, and the defeat was a matter of time.

So what should they do?
Thinking of this, Cui Qi wished he could draw his sword and kill himself, and the lord humiliated his ministers to death. If he could persuade the King of Han at that time, the result would definitely not be like this.

"Mr. Cui."

Jiang Yicheng appeared and walked up to Cui Qi.

"My son." Cui Qi cupped his hands slightly, his face was ashamed.He is not Zhuge Wuhou, he can cast beans into an army and defeat the enemy by relying on the I Ching and gossip calculations.

Jiang Yicheng glanced back at the silent King of Han who bowed his head in the hall, and felt desolate in his heart, as if he could see himself being kidnapped and sent to Chang'an to be tortured.

"Mr. Cui, is there any other way?" He said this, but he didn't have any expectations in his heart. Outside Dongxiang County, Yang Taisu's army was besieged, and they couldn't escape at all.

Sure enough, Cui Qi shook his head, there was nothing he could do now.

Jiang Yicheng leaned against the door frame dejectedly, the hand whose fingers were cut off by Jiang Chengxiao was trembling slightly, he was still thinking about attacking Chang'an and tearing Jiang Chengxiao's body into pieces, but now he couldn't even save his life.

Han Wang Jiang Liang stared blankly at the two people at the door.Now he is really panicking, although he doesn't want to admit it, but this time he is really worried about whether his life can be saved.His second brother in Chang'an, if he was caught, he would definitely kill himself.

Perhaps, like his elder brother, he will be imprisoned in a house for the rest of his life, waiting for a glass of poisoned wine, or dying of old age.

But he didn't want to do that, he was a prince, how could he do that.Worrying about gains and losses broke out in his heart, Hanwang punched the ground with a fist.

A beautiful concubine Ji in a skirt walked up to Hanwang and sat down, holding Hanwang's big rough hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "My lord, if you really can't do it, just surrender, the emperor won't do anything to us, go to Chang'an , although we have lost our freedom, Brother Huang will not lose our glory and wealth."

The King of Han turned to look at his concubine and asked, "He really won't kill me?"

Concubine Ji Dong nodded and said affirmatively, "Definitely."

It may not be that Mrs. Dong didn't know, she knew that if she persisted, she would definitely die, and going to Chang'an might just be a prison, and there was still hope of survival.

The king of Han fell into silence. People are seeking to survive, but if there is any hope of survival, no one wants to die. This is perfectly normal for nobles.

Twenty miles outside Dongxiang County, banners were flying and camps stretched out. In the tent of the Chinese army, Yang Taisu and a group of generals were discussing the aftermath. Now the defeat of the King of Han was only a matter of time and nothing to worry about.

"Marshal, why don't you send troops to take Dongxiang County and end the rebellion as soon as possible." Yang Gan asked.

Hearing this, Yang Taisu calmed down and said: "Don't worry, Fan Wang is just a fish in a urn now, I can take it at any time, if you press too hard, it may make him fight to the death and increase our casualties in vain."

He was waiting for the King of Han to surrender himself. If he sent troops now, it would be easy to take down Dongxiang County. But the problem is, if the King of Han was defeated and committed suicide, the big black pot would always be on his shoulders, Yang Taisu.

The king of Han is indeed an anti-king, he deserves death, but he is still the first son of the first emperor, and he is the vassal king of the first emperor. Yang Taisu killed the king of Han today, how will the royal family treat him?
He didn't take the blame, and escorted the King of Han back to Chang'an to the emperor. This is the best way to deal with it. No matter how the emperor handles the King of Han, it is the emperor's business, that is the courtiers' business, and has nothing to do with him.

Yang Taisu looked at "Chang'an" on the Kanyu map, and thought: his messenger soldiers should have sent the letter back, and now it depends on how the emperor will give him feedback.

Yu Wenshu also held the same idea as Yang Taisu. Thirty miles west of Dongxiang County, Yu Wenshu led an army of [-] to block the road where the King of Han might escape.

A few days ago, he took Qi County, thinking that the first victory would be his, but Han Wang actually abandoned Qi County, turned south, and was finally blocked by Yang Taisu, which made him very depressed.

Yu Wenshu thought that he should bring Yu Wenhuaji or Yuwen Zhiji with him when he came out this time, so that he could give them some credit, which is a pity.

"Father, all the armies are already in place, when will we take down the anti-king?" Zen master Yuwen, the adopted son, was about to move with a horse in his hand.He believed that if he went back this time, he might be able to get rid of his slave status by virtue of his merits.

Yu Wenshu didn't even look at him, and said, "No hurry, wait for the command of the commander-in-chief."

Yang Taisu understands that he also understands that the King of Han is a traitor, but the only person who can deal with the King of Han is the emperor, and it is not his turn to use the knife.

Zen Master Yuwen persuaded: "Father, Dongxiang County's walls are low and the city is weak, our cavalry can take it down, and when we take down the rebels, Father will be the first to suppress the rebellion."

Yu Wenshu scolded: "Bastard, do I need you to teach me how to do things? Get off!"

Zen Master Yuwen's face turned blue and then pale, then bowed his head and retreated.

In Chang'an City, the emperor has received news from Yang Taisu.

"Gao Aiqing, in your opinion, how should we deal with the King of Han?" The emperor put down Yang Taisu's memorial and asked Gao Xun with a smile.

Gao Xun cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, a foot of cloth can still be sewn, but what happened to Liu Chang, Li Wang of Huainan Han Dynasty, cannot be repeated."

Hearing this, the emperor fell into silence.In his heart, he wanted to kill the King of Han directly, but Gao Xun's words made him hesitate.

Mingjun like Han Wendi was recorded in the history books because of killing Liu Chang, and was discussed by later generations. If he killed this brother, he would be scolded by later generations for hundreds of years.

As an emperor, the only thing he can care about, apart from the power in the world, is his reputation after death.

Killing the King of Han will never leave him out of the history books.

Gao Xun said: "Your Majesty, as long as the King of Han is under house arrest in the capital, he will not be able to make any waves. The King of Han rebelled, and His Majesty cared about his brotherhood and did not take his life. The people all over the world will praise His Majesty's generosity."

"Gao Aiqing is right."

The emperor patted the table, "Let King Qi lead an envoy to Jiyin County to reward the three armies!"

Hearing this, Gao Xun's face suddenly changed.
