Chapter 746: Use your brain
Chapter 746 Use the pig's brain
Lin Jinke received the urgent report from King Beibin, and gnashed her teeth angrily, turned over the table in the military tent, and yelled at the sergeants under him: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots, so many people can't stand a woman and a few child."
Looked at the briefing carefully again, and found that the princess was also detained. For a moment, she was in a state of confusion, clenched her fists tightly, and said loudly: "It's unreasonable. Who leaked this king's important matter?"
I wanted to take advantage of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival and when the defenders in the city were unprepared to attack the palace in one fell swoop, I never thought that the three major battalions would join forces to resist as soon as I sent out troops. Do not open hands and feet.
Jia Qian, the counselor next to King Qinghe, asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, could it be that His Highness the Sixth Highness is obstructing this?"
"impossible."
Lin Jinke waved his hands resolutely and said: "Uncle Liu Huang is now without the support of King Nandu. He can only rely on this king to be rich. How can he help King Pingning?"
"But the old minister always feels that His Royal Highness Six has ulterior motives, and His Highness should have listened to the Queen Mother long ago."
Jia Qian sighed helplessly: "His Royal Highness is now in full swing, as long as the Qinghe Cavalry is stationed near the outskirts of Beijing, and the general stabilizes the rear, he will make his own decision when he comes back. It’s an easy thing, but now it’s giving King Pingning a chance to go north.”
After thinking for a while, his tone became firmer: "I even feel that this is a plot by the Empress Dowager to deliberately force His Highness to march into Jingling City."
"Lin Jinxiao, you want to go north just because he's settled down?"
Lin Jinke snorted disdainfully: "Immediately pass on my order to Tang Yi in Yizhou to guard the pass and prevent King Pingning from going north."
"Your Highness, the most urgent task is to recover Princess Pingning's mother and children, and they must not be allowed to escape back to Luyan Port."
Jia Qian persuaded with righteous words: "Old minister, I heard that when Princess Pingning left the city, Princess Shu personally handed over an imperial edict of King Qin to Mrs. Chang. If this edict is allowed to go out of Beijing, let alone Yizhou's army and horses will find it difficult to obey the order. The 100,000 cavalry of Langzhou University are very likely to fall to King Pingning."
"What the military adviser said is very true."
Lin Jinke immediately realized that something was wrong: "At present, apart from the Qinghe Cavalry and the sixteen guards stationed in the north, the two hundred thousand troops from Yizhou and Langzhou are the closest to Jingling City. Get out of Jingling City."
After finishing speaking, he categorically ordered Jia Qian: "Military Master, you lead the troops under the king's command to continue to attack the west gate. The king personally leads people to attack the southern camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and he will definitely chase the woman back."
Immediately, he appointed five thousand cavalry and hurriedly headed towards the southern suburbs.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Southern Day Camp were attacked by King Qinghe and the trilogy of the Tang family. After all, they were defeated. They had to retreat from Chaoguangmen slowly and orderly into Jingling City to resist the enemy according to Princess Shu's military order.
It was already the next morning when the road to the south was opened. Lin Jinke led 5,000 cavalry to chase south. When they reached the fork in the road, they found that there were ruts on all five roads.
This stumped him.
"Your Highness, how should we catch up?"
Tang Che, the general of the Tang family who came with Lin Jinke, asked in a daze.
"This **** Princess Pingning."
Lin Jinke was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded: "He pretended to be nonchalant these days, but he didn't expect to have already made arrangements. He is really extremely cunning."
"Princess Pingning accompanied the old man and the child. Even if she walked overnight, she probably wouldn't be able to go very far. In the end, she will take someone to chase after her, and she will definitely be brought back."
Tang Che said indignantly.
"Won't this king know?"
Lin Jinke glared at Tang Che angrily. There were ruts on the five roads. Who knew where she escaped from?
The nearest of these five roads is a rugged trail, covered with thorns and swamps along the way, which is not easy to pass. Although the two official roads are wide, they have to detour through many states and counties.
The remaining two roads are full of twists and turns.
But Lin Jinshu sent the guards to accompany him, no matter how difficult the road was.
After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to order the generals under his command to lead the teams to chase after him.
But Tang Che looked in the direction of Xiaguan Village, and asked with some uncertainty: "Your Highness, these five roads are not the only way back to Luyan Port. There is also the Jinglu Canal that can go down the river. Will Princess Pingning come from here?" Return by water?"
"Idiot."
Lin Jinke pointed at the secluded mountain road cursingly: "If you go south along the waterway, you will be looking for your own death."
After a pause, he squinted his eyes slightly, and shook his head disdainfully: "Besides, when Prince Xie disappeared a few days ago, she mentioned the waterway, if she had already prepared to escape along the waterway, how could she take the water to escape?" Leaking this to me is not a good use of your pig's brain."
Although Tang Che had a faint feeling in his heart that Princess Pingning might have escaped along the waterway, but King Qinghe had already made a decision, so he couldn't say any more, so he had to turn his eyes to the widest official road and swear : "Right now, the central government still relies on His Highness to preside over the situation, and the general is willing to personally lead people all the way south to recover Princess Pingning's mother and son."
"Okay, I will leave this matter to you. If you can't bring back Princess Pingning and her children, you don't need to come back to see this king."
Lin Jinke is also in a dilemma right now. Jingling City's attack has reached a stalemate, and Chu Nanzhi has been allowed to escape.
Five hundred guards were left behind, and all the rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to Tang Che. Before leaving, he solemnly told Tang Che: "When you arrive in Yizhou, tell your clan uncle Tang Yi to call him Going all out to capture Princess Pingning, if this king loses power, his entire Tang family may not have a peaceful life, so let him weigh it carefully."
"The last general must persuade the clan uncle well."
Tang Che is clearly aware of the stakes.
Over the years, the entire Tang family has placed their bets on King Qinghe. Once King Qinghe falls, the powerful forces related to the Tang family will be suppressed.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led the sergeant straight south along the official road.
After resting on the boat for several hours, Chu Nanzhi went down to the cabin on the bottom floor to meet Xie Jingchen after dawn.
In the dim light, looking at Xie Jingchen who was **** in the cabin by Wuhuada, she walked forward with a smile, and greeted with incomparable hospitality: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Prince Xie, are you all right?"
"Little Zhizhi, you are going too far."
Thinking of her using Mongolian sweat medicine to bind herself up and tie her up in the other courtyard of the Zhao family for many days, even the last hut had to be guarded, Xie Jingchen felt extremely depressed at this moment.
"It is indeed too much."
Chu Nanzhi casually glanced at Li Shiyao who was standing beside him. This woman has been silent all this time, but the resentment towards him seems to be much less.
"If I don't do this, how can you be willing to obediently follow me back to the southern border."
Chu Nanzhi personally bent down and untied the rope on his body: "Now if you want to go back, I won't stop you, but please think about it carefully, Prince Xie, before making any plans. Right now, Qinghe's dignitaries are all looking for Xie. Regarding the whereabouts of the crown prince, if you go back, not only will the entire Bai Yu Mission lose their way of life, but it may also intensify the conflict between the two countries."
Hearing these words, Xie Jingchen fell into hesitation.
