The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 559
Emperor Tianyou's abdication and abdication edict quickly responded.

In a place relatively close to the imperial capital, local officials and some troops quickly submitted their submissions to express their attachment to the new dynasty.

It turned out that the 6000 members of Chu Yuanji's remaining troops who fought bloody battles with the San Francisco army in Zhili did not surrender after breaking away from the San Francisco army, but moved to the northwest.

Apart from Chu Yuanji's troops, there were only seven thousand people left near Zhili and the imperial capital, led by Princess Chang'an, who were still fighting Han Qi at Juyongguan.

Princess Chang'an has received her elder brother's edict to abdicate, and the eunuch Zhou came to deliver the edict.

After shutting himself in the tent of the Chinese army for more than an hour, Chang'an convened a meeting.

Those who participated in the discussion included Zuo Linliang, Luo Xingshan, Liu Huaide, Chang'an's subordinates Xu Canjun, Qu Canjiang, Qiu Liang and Wei Ruoshui.

Qiu Liang and Wei Ruoshui arrived here only today.

After they got the news of Zhao Yingqi's abdication yesterday, they left the imperial capital and came to Chang'an.

The news of Zhao Yingqi's abdication was already known to everyone present, but Chang'an still showed the edict to everyone.

"Dad is no longer here, and I am not a princess now. It is meaningless to continue fighting now. I thank you for following me. In the past, we fought for Dade, who are we fighting for now? No It is necessary for the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Now, I leave the decision to you. You can choose to surrender or you can choose to go home. As for myself, even if there is only one person left, I will never surrender. I will fight to the last moment. Now, you Discuss for yourself and let me know your decision."

After Chang An finished speaking, he went out without waiting for everyone to speak.

"what should we do?"

Liu Huaide asked first.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to end like this. Is this the end of Dade?"

Xu Shenjiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The San Francisco's occupation of the imperial capital was already expected by everyone. It's just that the emperor was easily captured and abdicated."

Qiu Liang had already served as the commander of Zhongcheng Bingma Division, so he was a little surprised by this ending.

Because he was unwilling to submit to the new dynasty, he escaped with his family.

"No matter what, I swear to follow His Highness Chang'an, general Xu Shen, how about you?"

"General Qu Shen, why do you look down on me? Am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't worry, I will follow His Highness and fight to the last soldier."

"General Xu, General Qu, Luo admires your bravery. However, I disagree with your actions."

"General Luo, do you want to join me? Your Highness has already said so, so please go ahead."

General Xu's violent temper came up again.

"Is Luo a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and considers a thief as his father? I mean, we have to think about His Highness. Now His Highness wants to die, we can't just let her go."

"Do you think we are willing? It's different now. From now on, we won't have any reinforcements, and we won't get any food. Once the food is exhausted, we can only sit and wait."

"Besides, even if we retreat, where can we go? Even if there is no encirclement, Han Qi will chase after us. For now, the only way is to die in battle."

"Everyone, are you a little too pessimistic?"

Wei Ruoshui said something unhurriedly.

"Don't you have any tricks?"

"It's not a clever plan, but it may be a way to survive."

"Wei Ruoshui, what can you do?"

"Why don't you think about it and retreat to Beihai?"

"Retreat to the North Sea? Hahaha, Wei Ruoshui, don't be joking. Now the Northeast has been occupied by Han Tiankui, and the imperial capital is in the Shanhaiguan area, and most of them are imperial troops. They will soon join us. How do we get there? This is going to the North Sea, thousands of rivers and mountains, With so many soldiers and their families, there are more than 1 people, what will they eat and drink along the way?"

What Liu Huaide said is indeed reasonable.

"Who said we're going to go through Shanhaiguan?"

"If you don't go there, where will you go?"

"Now on the road from here to Tianjinwei, there are no troops from the San Francisco. Even some troops from the imperial court, firstly, they may not really intercept us, and secondly, if they do, with our strength, we can break through. We are here. Tianjin Wei, we can supply there. Embark at Tianjin Wei."

"As long as we get on the boat, we can avoid Han Tiankui and go all the way from the waterway to Beihai. If there is no supply on the way, we will go ashore temporarily, buy if we have money, and borrow if we have no money. We will not starve to death. When we arrive in Beihai, we will be safe. gone."

"What if Han Tiandou chases him to Beihai in the future?"

"Han Tiandou chased Beihai? Hehe, it's a joke, unless he doesn't want to live anymore. Even if his 40 troops are gone, there will be no return."

"How many people do you have in Beihai?"

"Hey, it scares you to death when you say it, it's a total of [-]."

"Hahaha, 2 is really a lot. 2 people dare to speak so boldly. Even if Jia Min has some skills, how can 40 horses fight against [-] troops?"

"Oh, forget it, you won't believe it. When you see how we fight in the future, you will understand."

"Wei Ruoshui, I have fought all my life, I don't need you to teach me."

Xu Shenjiang really lost his temper this time.

"Hmph, you guys are still called wars? It's just playing tricks."

"You two, stay safe and don't be impatient. I think Wei Ruoshui is talking about a way to survive. It's just that it may not be easy to get rid of Han Qi along the way."

Luo Xingshan came out to mediate in time.

"If Han Qi wants to follow, just ask him to follow. We invite him to come, and he can't do it if he wants to."

"Wei Ruoshui, what do you mean?"

"I'm going to catch Han Qi and ask him to be our hostage. I'll let him back when we get on the boat in Tianjinwei."

"Han Qi is Han Tiandou's only son. It would be the best thing to have him as a hostage. However, if you want to catch him, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky."

"Leave this matter to us. We just want to wrong His Highness Chang'an. We have to act like this..."

Wei Ruoshui came up with a solution.

"Is this possible? Go deep into the tiger's den, will you come back then? There is a slight difference, but His Highness is sent to the door. This is too risky, I don't agree."

"I agree, that's it."

At some point, Chang An was already standing at the door, and she heard what Wei Ruoshui said.

"Since His Highness agrees, it will save trouble. I originally planned to knock His Highness unconscious."

Wei Ruoshui said with a smile.

"Wei Ruoshui, when shall we go?"

"How about going now?"

"How many people are you taking?"

"There are too many people. Han Qi may not be fooled. It is enough to just take my 30 people there."

"Wei Ruoshui, are you joking?"

"General Xu, needless to say, I trust him. Let's go."

The current Han Qi can be said to be full of ambition.

The success of the rebellion has exceeded his expectations.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yingqi abdicated so easily.

According to the agreement of the three families of Han, Song and Li, the emperor took turns to do it, each for 20 years.

However, Han Qi didn't think so.

20 years is long enough to lay out many things.As long as you do things carefully, you will have enough time to weaken the Song and Li families.At that time, it is entirely possible for his own family to continue to be emperor.

As long as the emperor belongs to the Han family, as the only son and the eldest son, the position of future prince, and even the position of emperor, is his own.

Among them, what I have to do is to accumulate enough qualifications and reputation.To obtain these, the best and fastest way is to obtain military merit.

Now is the best time to gain military merit.

It's just that I was not very lucky this time, and met Princess Chang'an's team.

This is a team that has been trained by the instructors of the Jia Min Mansion Corps, and its combat power is many times stronger than that of the general imperial army.

In addition to occupying the natural danger of Juyongguan, so with a small number of people, they blocked their own progress.

However, Han Qi is not in a hurry now, because time is on his side.

As long as it drags on for a while, after the fighting in Zhili is over, more troops will come to support him.When the time comes to encircle from behind, Princess Chang'an will be unable to escape.

So, now Han Qi felt lucky again.

Princess Chang'an is a great beauty, if she can be included in the harem, wouldn't it be a good talk?
General Wu Can came in, this is Han Qi's number one general, and he is highly valued by Han Qi.

"My son, there is a man named Wei Ruoshui who said that he captured Chang'an and came to offer his captives and surrender?"

"Caught Chang'an? Impossible? Could it be a false surrender?"

"Whether it is a false surrender or not is unknown, but the person they are holding is indeed Chang'an."

"There is something famous here. There are so many people under Chang'an, how could it be so easy to catch? Who is this Wei Ruoshui? Could it be Wei Ruolan's family?"

"From the name, it should be so. Wei Ruolan belongs to Jia Min. Could this Wei Ruoshui also belong to Jia Min?"

"Chang'an came from Jia Min's family, and she learned all her skills from Jia Min. Chang'an also saved Jia's family. If Jia Min's people belonged, she would definitely not harm Chang'an."

"In this case, it is a fraudulent surrender."

"It must be a fraudulent surrender."

"They mean to see me in person?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, then they are coming after me."

"It's a good idea, such a small skill, dare to play tricks in front of us. I'll ask someone to shoot them to death with random arrows."

"Wait, how many of them are there?"

"Including Chang'an, there are 32 people in total."

"Hehe, this Chang'an is a bit courageous. Thirty people dare to go deep into the tiger's den. It's a pity that you met me, Han Qi. This time, you sent it to the door yourself."

"The son means..."

"What weapons did they bring?"

"Firebolts and bows and arrows, and knives and daggers."

"Call together three hundred elite soldiers, bring firecrackers, bows and arrows, and follow me, leave Chang'an, and kill the rest."

"My son, you have to be careful."

"Such an opportunity is really rare. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to capture Chang'an. As long as Chang'an is captured, this battle will be over. Don't worry. Are we afraid of 300 of us with 30 people?"

"Honestly obey orders."
