Chapter 183 The King of Xiang's Last Stubbornness
Chapter 182: King Xiang's Last Stubbornness
In the 14th year of Qianyuan, on July [-]th, Yang Yanzhao made a surprise attack on Xiajun, and he came out of Ai County. Even a fool would know that Deng Guo and Wu Guo had reached an agreement, which means that Wu Guo had completely given up on Hunan. Therefore, Ma Yuan quickly put the packed luggage back to the original place. Deng Jun came out of Ai County, and it was meaningless to go to Wu State again.

King Xiang's bedroom was filled with the smell of medicine. King Xiang was lying weakly on the bed, and an imperial physician was beside him for diagnosis and treatment. The Queen of Xiang and the Crown Prince of Xiang Kingdom were standing beside him.

"Imperial Physician, how is your Majesty's condition?" The Queen of Hunan and the Crown Prince of Xiang Kingdom hurriedly asked when they saw that the Imperial Physician had stopped diagnosis and treatment.

"Your Majesty is just getting angry for a while, it's not a serious problem, just take some decoction and it will be fine, but you still need to rest well." The imperial physician said.

"That's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the imperial physician's words.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" At this moment, King Xiang, who was lying on the bed, made a weak sound.

After everyone heard it, they hurried to the bedside and asked questions in a hurry.

The King of Xiang waved his hand to signal them to shut up, and then said weakly: "Quick, I want to summon General Xing and Xiang Liu."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you are very weak now and need to recuperate." Seeing that the King of Xiang would summon the ministers as soon as he woke up, the Queen of Xiang quickly persuaded him, remembering what the imperial physician said.

"The benevolence of a woman, the country is at stake, how can the widow rest at ease, quickly, summon the general Xing and Liu Xiang to the widow." Xiang Wang angrily said.

Seeing that the King of Xiang was angry, the Queen of Xiang nodded quickly and asked the Prince of Xiang to summon Xing Rong and Liu Hong.

Soon, Xing Rong and Liu Hong came to the bedroom, and the Queen of Xiang and the Crown Prince of Xiang quickly stepped aside to let them come to the bedside.

Seeing Xing Rong and Liu Hong coming, the King of Xiang quickly asked, "General Xing, Xiang Liu, where is the Deng army who raided Xiajun now? How many troops are there?"

"Your Majesty, you are not in good health. You should rest and recuperate. You don't have to worry about these things because the minister and General Xing are here." Seeing that King Xiang was pale and weak, Liu Hong quickly persuaded him.

But the king of Xiang shook his head and said: "Xiang Liu, now that Deng's army is suppressing the border, and Wu Guo has made it clear that he wants to give up Daxiang, how can you tell me to rest in peace? You should tell me how it is now. "

Liu Hong glanced at Xing Rong and motioned for him to speak.

Xing Rong understood, and said: "My lord, the one who raided Xiajun this time was Yang Yanzhao from the battle of Yuzhang that day, with a force of more than [-]. The Deng army stationed in Chaisang should have been dispatched in full force, and now the Deng army is still going down. Jun, there is no sign of invading Linxiang for the time being."

"More than [-], cough! Cough!" King Xiang was shocked when he heard the number of Deng Jun.

Liu Hong and Xing Rong hurriedly supported King Xiang, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, take care of your body."

There are more than 10,000 Deng troops in Xiajun, and 10,000 in Linyuan. So this time, Deng Guo sent [-]+ people to attack Xiang Guo. Thinking of this, the king of Xiang felt very desperate. Now the whole country of Xiang There are no more than [-] soldiers and horses available, and a war with [-]+ Deng Jun is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

The king of Xiang showed a desperate smile and said: "Hehe, King Deng really thinks highly of the widow. He actually dispatched 10,000+ soldiers and horses. This is not going to stop Daxiang. Liu Xiang, General Xing, there are still Is there any way?"

The King of Xiang looked at Xing Rong and Liu Hong expectantly, hoping that they could come up with an idea to help the country overcome the difficulties.

But this time Liu Hong and Xing Rong were at a loss as well. It was impossible for Wu Guo to come to save Xiang country. With the strength of Xiang country alone, it was undoubtedly a fairy tale and a fool's dream to block 10,000+ Deng Jun. He bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the King of Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, you all go down."

"Here! I will take my leave." Liu Hong and Xing Rong responded, and then left the palace.

After Liu Hong and Xing Rong left, the King of Xiang called the Queen of Hunan and the Crown Prince of Xiang to the bedside, held their hands and said mournfully, "Queen and Crown Prince, Daxiang is doomed this time. The king of a country, the king of a country, cannot keep the foundation of Daxiang, and he is ashamed of his ancestors, but the widow will never surrender. Although the widow is incompetent, he still has this backbone. Start the killing ring, and the widows will arrange a troop to escort you to the state of Wu. As long as you arrive in the state of Wu, find Xing'er (Prince Wu's favorite concubine), and have her protection, you will be safe, and you will be safe for my Ma family. Save a little blood."

"Your Majesty (Father King)!" The Queen of Hunan and the Crown Prince of Hunan were tearful, holding the King's hand tightly.

The King of Xiang patted the backs of the two people's hands, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, remember, after arriving in the Wu Kingdom, you must be cautious and not make it public. The Ma family will take revenge."

The Queen of Hunan and the Crown Prince of Hunan nodded with tears in their eyes.

Soon, the king of Xiang arranged for a general of the clan to lead a team of soldiers and horses, and left Linxiang City with the queen of Hunan and the prince of Xiang.

After the Queen of Hunan and the Prince of Xiang Kingdom left, the King of Xiang ordered to gather all the soldiers and horses of the whole country in Linxiang City, where he wanted to make a final settlement with Deng Jun.

In Xiajun City, Yang Yanzhao was rectifying the troops. Although there were only [-] Hunan troops in Xiajun City, for some reason, this Xiang army went crazy and resisted desperately, which made Yang Yanzhao a little more troublesome.

"Military division, where is General Chang Yuchun's troops now? What's happening with the Hunan Army?" Yang Yanzhao asked Yao Guangxiao in the Yamen of Xiajun County.

Yao Guangxiao said: "General Hui, General Chang Yuchun's troops have been mopping up the cities of Wuling County since they captured Linyuan, but now they have almost cleaned up. I believe they will move south soon. According to reports from scouts, , Linxiang City has sent fast horses to Guiyang and Lingling in the past few days, and the subordinates thought that the King of Xiang wanted to gather all the soldiers and horses to fight our army in Linxiang City."

"Hitting an egg against a rock, using a mantis' arm as a cart, just struggling to the death, that's all right." Yang Yanzhao nodded, smiled, and said, but seeing that Yao Guangxiao seemed to have something to say, he seemed hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help smiling, and said: "Does the military division have something to say? You and I have known each other for many years, so we are not afraid to say anything."

Yao Guangxiao sighed, and said: "It's true that you can't hide anything from the general. It's like this. General Chang Yuchun went on a killing spree against Tang and Linyuan, and killed many prisoners of the Hunan Army. There was a lot of discussion in the army about this matter. I am afraid that Chang Yuchun's move will implicate our army, so I want to ask the general what he thinks."

Yang Yanzhao said: "Extreme means are used in extraordinary times. The land in Jingnan is like Wu and Yue, extremely exclusive, and there are many mountains and forests. Although this general does not agree with it, he does not reject it, and besides, this general and General Chang Yuchun do not belong to each other, so how could this general be implicated here?"

"It's just that if this matter spreads to Wancheng, those adults in the court will not think so." Yao Guangxiao worried.

Yang Yanzhao smiled and said: "Those rotten scholars in the court will definitely be impeached, but it's not that there are no sensible people in the court. Cui Xiang, Jiang Xiang, and Su Shangshu will definitely know the intention. With them, there is no harm."

"I hope so." Yao Guangxiao said.

Yang Yanzhao patted Yao Guangxiao's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Military commanders don't have to worry, the court has its own opinion on this matter, what we have to do now is to rectify the troops as soon as possible, send troops to Xiangcheng, and destroy Xiangguo in one fell swoop."

"Here!"

On July 14, the 25th year of Qianyuan, Yang Yanzhao led an army of 12 to march westward, broke through Luo County, and approached Linxiang City.
