Wolf Ambition Regent [Rebirth]

Chapter 66 Enemy Attack

Ji Jinyu was woken up by the deafening sound of bells and drums. When he woke up with a start, he realized that his obscene clothes were soaked through.Outside the hall was the sound of the eunuch's hurried footsteps, mixed with Su Kang's soft exclamation.

The sound of the bell reverberated over the entire capital city, awakening the extinguished candles of thousands of homes. It was clearly still midnight, but the capital city seemed like daytime.The bell resounding through the sky continued, and many important ministers woke up from their sleep, and they all turned their eyes to the military camp north of the capital.There was another wave of turmoil. On the street were scouts on horseback hurrying to the palace, and inside the mansion were busy officials getting up and entering the palace.

This night, everyone is afraid that they will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Su Kang, wait for me to change clothes." Under the dim candlelight, Ji Jinyu's expression could not be seen clearly, Su Kang was worried, and couldn't let it go. Hearing Ji Jinyu's words, he hurried into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty..." Su Kang frowned, he didn't know whether he should say something, but he knew that even if he didn't say it, the Emperor would understand.

The hall has been replaced with bright candles, Ji Jinyu tidied up his neckline, and ordered: "Please let people go to the Yizheng Hall to make more pots of charcoal fires. The Tai Tuo and other adults are getting old, so we need to make a few pots of hot tea." .”

"Yes." Su Kang took the order and hurriedly ordered his servants to do it.

Ji Jinyu looked up at the roof and called Seventeen.

"Your Majesty." The black shadow fell to the ground without a single sound.

"Go and see what's going on first, gather all the hidden guards..." After a pause, Ji Jinyu said again: "The dark guards of the Prince Regent's Mansion are also assembled."

"Yes." Shi Qi disappeared in an instant.

Ji Jinyu ordered the palace people to hold the lamps, and went to the Yizheng Hall first.As soon as the charcoal fire started, there was a puff of smoke in the room, choking panic.Without frowning, Ji Jinyu went straight to the high seat and opened the map on the table.The house was brightly lit and extremely quiet. The sound of bells and drums echoing over the capital city continued, and Ji Jinyu seemed to hear her own heart beating wildly.

The extremely familiar map also became extremely unfamiliar at this moment. Ji Jinyu stared at the small land circled in red ink on the map, lost in thought.

He was a little flustered and a little at a loss, but he was more puzzled.The bells and drums of the military camp in the north of the city are never sounded casually. Once they are sounded, something that will endanger the country will definitely happen.I heard that the last time the bell rang was the day when Ji Jun entered the capital—the day when Daqin was destroyed.Then this time, what is it because of?

Except for the news that Duan Qian arrived at Jialing Pass three days ago, he never received any urgent mail from the front line.Even this letter from Duan Qian is not urgent.

But after thinking about it, except that the Yan army was approaching, Ji Jinyu really thought of something that was worth ringing the dull bells and drums of the Beicheng barracks when they were here.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao has an audience."

"Xuan." Duan Qian is the commander-in-chief of the Beicheng military camp, and Zhao Yun is Duan Qian's top leader.Duan Qian left the capital, and he took over all the affairs of the Beicheng military camp.

"My minister joins the emperor." The man was wearing icy armor, and it was still snowing heavily at night in the capital. He entered the warm palace from the cold outside, and a trace of mist came out of the armor that had been hard and gleaming for a lifetime.A face with Chinese characters, two thick eyebrows frowning together, kneeling down to pay homage as soon as entering the hall.

At this moment, Ji Jinyu didn't care about these etiquettes anymore. He waved his hand and asked Zhao Yun to get up, "I just want to know what's going on."

Zhao Yun stood up, frowning together and still didn't let go. He thought about his choice of words before opening his mouth cautiously: "At around midnight today, the patrolling soldiers found something unusual in the northwest, so the general sent scouts to investigate. After a quarter of an hour, the scouts sent There is news that a large number of troops and horses are coming from the north! Look at the flags, it is the Yan army! The troops and horses are stationed two hundred miles away from the capital, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses! It is already midnight, and I have no other choice. We can only make people ring the summons bell at the Beicheng military camp first, and then enter the palace to receive the punishment!"

Sure enough, as expected, Ji Jinyu couldn't tell what his emotions were, but he knew very well that he was calmer than ever at this moment. "What's wrong with General Zhao?" Ji Jinyu asked, her voice hoarse, "General Zhao should be rewarded for being the first to detect the enemy's situation! However, now is not the time to discuss rewards, and the general's rewards will only be given when the war is won! "

"Do you have more detailed information?" Ji Jinyu asked again.

"Yes!" Zhao Yun nodded, hesitated, and saw Ji Jinyu's clear black eyes, which were particularly conspicuous under the bright candlelight. Zhao Yun reassured himself, and said, "Those people are probably the Second Prince's people!"

Although Ji Jinlin rebelled, his identity was still there, and Ji Jinyu never decreed to deprive him of the title and identity of prince.It's a bit embarrassing to call it that way, but Zhao Yun is a military general, and his tongue is not smooth, so I really don't know how to call him, so it's just the same as before.

A sneer flashed in Ji Jinyu's eyes. He knew that Ji Jinlin was cooperating with Yan Kui, and he also knew that he had raised a private army, but he never thought that he would come to besiege the capital with the Yan army's banner.I don't know what Ji Jinlin is thinking, but now he even doesn't care about Queen Mother Lin's life.

"How many horses in total?" Ji Jinyu asked.

"Probably not more than 20!" Zhao Yun had never seen it with his own eyes. From the news sent back by the scouts, the 20 army was already estimated to be large.

Ji Jinyu fell into deep thought. 20 troops?The total number of troops left behind in the capital is only 20. Where did the Yan army get so many troops?In the news from Duan Qian and Fang Pei, the Yan army did not suddenly lose so many troops, and they would definitely receive the news of the sudden mobilization of so many troops.And how did this [-] army born out of thin air go all the way from Yankui, and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the capital without being discovered by the government along the way?

Although most of the people in the towns south of Jialing had already evacuated, the speed was definitely not so fast, and the government did not retreat, and the important fortresses were still guarded by officers and soldiers.How did they go all the way south?From the beginning of the war on New Year's Eve to the ninth day of the new year, it has only been nine days...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Tai Tuo has brought all the courtiers to see you." At the right moment, Su Kang interrupted Ji Jinyu's meditation.

"Xuan." Ji Jinyu took a deep breath, not thinking about how they came here, the focus now is how to protect the capital when the enemy's troops are twice as strong as their own.

"Come here, let the adults watch and serve tea."

In the early hours of the morning, it was the time when Zhou Gong was dreaming in the dead of night, but there were crowds of people on the streets of the capital.Batch after batch of men in black clothes came to appease the people and maintain order in the capital.But the Yizheng Hall, which had never been lit at this moment, was full of seats.

The bells of the Beicheng military camp had already stopped, and the snow that had fallen all night also stopped at this moment.A black shadow, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, headed northwest, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Ji Jinyu's voice is not loud, but it is enough in this hall where a needle can be heard when it falls.

"At this moment, it is a time of crisis for the country. This time I summoned all my lovers to come here late at night, so-called two things."

"First, if the Yan army invades, the capital may not be safe. The Regent Fang Rongxuan had the foresight to leave a tunnel in the capital directly leading to the outskirts of the city. Zhao Yun accepts the order!"

Zhao Yun took a step forward and knelt down, waiting for Ji Jinyu's order.

"You need to mobilize [-] troops to maintain order in the capital. If there are old, young and pregnant people at home, they can escape through the tunnel first, no matter the dignitaries. Execute immediately!"

"The minister accepts the decree!" At the moment when he heard the authenticity, Zhao Yun was horrified, and when he heard the emperor's words "regardless of power and honor", Zhao Yun was excited again, their emperor!He really loves the people like a child!

"Eleventh accepts the order!" Ji Jinyu said again, Eleventh is the man whose martial arts is second only to Seventeenth among the hidden guards, and he is also the commander of the Forbidden Forest Army.

"The minister listens to the order!"

"You lead the imperial city's [-] Forbidden Forest Army, tightly surround the imperial palace, and don't release anyone at will!"

"The minister accepts the order!"

"This is one of them," Ji Jinyu glanced at the courtiers who were sitting again, all of them were solemn, and after Ji Jinyu said the truth, they relaxed a little.An army of 20 against an army of [-] is a dead end. Many of these veterans have already lived enough, and they are already satisfied with allowing the juniors in the family to escape!The rest is to live and die with the emperor in this hall.

"Secondly, when the Yan army comes to attack, I can't abandon the city and leave, Wei Jiang obeys orders!"

Wei Jiang is not very old, only twenty and six, but he went to the battlefield with the old regent ten years ago, and the solemnity and bloodiness revealed in his body cannot be ignored.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"There are [-] troops left in the Beicheng barracks, and I will leave them all to you! The gates of the capital can be breached, and it will take three days..." Ji Jinyu's eyes were dim, and the ministers present were also shocked.

Ji Jinyu sighed, and said, "I know, a 20 army is wrong," Ji Jinyu shook her head, "It's [-] troops against [-] troops, it's nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg, and you don't know what you can do. So, I don't ask you to win, As long as you can delay it for three days... all the people in the capital retreat, three days is enough."

Wei Jiang couldn't stop trembling all over his body. He never thought that the emperor could say these words. Wei Jiang couldn't help but say again: "I will definitely not let the group of Yan bandits break through..."

"General Wei Jiang!" Ji Jinyu interrupted him. He understood what Wei Jiang wanted to express, but Ji Jinyu was never a blind and arrogant person, let alone believe in tiny miracles.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Suihuai had been waiting, waiting for Ji Jinyu to finish speaking, but he really couldn't wait now.

"I implore the emperor to retreat first!" Wang Suihuai's voice choked up, he already understood Ji Jinyu's thoughts, but as a subject, he must not see the monarch in danger!Wang Suihuai knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The other ministers were surprisingly consistent with Wang Suihuai's thoughts at this moment, and knelt down one after another.

"Please retreat first, Your Majesty!"

Ji Jinyu sighed, "My lords, please stand up! How can I retreat before thousands of people at dawn? This imperial city is where I was born and raised, and I will definitely accompany tens of thousands of generals to defend against the enemy!"

"If the emperor does not respond to my request, please forgive me for not being able to accept the order!" Wei Jiang's eyes were red, and he even started threatening.

Ji Jinyu was anxious, "So General Wei is planning to ignore thousands of dawns?"

"I don't mean that!" Wei Jiang panicked, Wang Suihuai gave him a look, and he shut up resentfully.

Wang Suihuai sighed, the emperor is still as stubborn as he was when he was a child!The hard ones are not good, it seems that they can only come to the soft ones!
