Chapter 110 It's just bad luck

King Xiang probably never thought that the Wei Family Army who had been kept until they were starved of food and still stood firm at the border would actually have a heart of rebellion.Or maybe it should be said that he was too confident and always felt that he was omnipotent after ascending to the throne.

All in all, the Wei family army chose to attack the city beyond his expectations, and also beyond the imagination of most people.

They came from thousands of miles to serve the king's army, but the emperor who gave the order is dead, so why should they persist?Isn't it time to take refuge in the new king and go back obediently?Taking a step back, even if they successfully breached Chang'an and killed King Xiang, a rebellious minister and traitor, what's next?Who will reward them for their merits, and who will take over this mess?

Indistinctly, someone caught a glimpse of ambition.But maybe Wei Jiajun has behaved too well and well-behaved all these years. Even if someone vaguely guessed something at this time, they still didn't announce it.

Just like that, they started fighting in a daze, or clearly.

The elite division of the Wei family army, but Chang'an has a thick city wall to rely on, and it should have been evenly matched in the fight. Although there were not many cases of besieged capitals in ancient times, it was not unheard of. People in the city often defended the city , Waiting for the emperor to order the Quartet King.It's just that the situation is delicate now, not to mention that Emperor Yankang's bones are not yet cold, King Xiang's position was improper and rushed, and the Wei family army originally appeared here in the name of King Qin.

But no matter what other people think, things are simple for Wei Jiajun.Soldiers are always used to obeying orders. At this time, no matter who is standing opposite, they just obey the orders of the commander.

The siege battle lasted only three days, and the process was not intense. For the Wei family army, it seemed that they were still testing.

This may have given the people in the city an illusion that this war will continue for a long time.But just when King Xiang was discussing with his trusted ministers whether to issue the imperial edict of King Qin, this war, which was still in the tentative stage, came to an abrupt end.

In the middle of the night on the third day, with a bang, the gate of Chang'an City was opened.Immediately afterwards, the Wei family army who had been prepared for a long time rushed in, and before everyone had time to react, the west gate of Chang'an was taken down.Then the army entered the city, took over the four gates, and marched into the palace. Everything went smoothly as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

During this period, the Wei family army did not commit any crimes, and entered the city at night, so that the city of Chang'an was still peaceful the next day.The vast majority of the people did not realize that the war that had just begun was over, and another coup d'état took place in Chang'an City that night.

Lu Yiqing was the last batch to enter the city. When she stepped into Chang'an wearing armor and riding a steed, the people in Chang'an city did not show any signs of strangeness when they saw her. The sound of neat footsteps running past, or the soldiers wearing armor and riding back and forth seemed to exist as they should, and there was no need to make a fuss about it.

The calm in Chang'an City was a little too much, although Lu Yiqing couldn't feel any emotion about returning to his hometown, his heart was not peaceful.Probably affected by this, she said to her colleagues, "I thought there would be a bitter battle in Chang'an, but it ended so quietly."

While the colleagues were delighted, they also had the same mixed feelings as her, and said after hearing the words: "It's true, I really didn't expect it to be so easy."

So Lu Yiqing asked again: "What happened to the gate of Chang'an last night, who opened it?"

This question is not a secret, but Lu Yiqing's low-ranking colleagues obviously don't know it. They can only guess a few words: "Before guarding Chang'an, apart from the Xiaoqi Battalion, it was the original Chang'an garrison. Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and took refuge with us. Otherwise, could it be the private soldiers raised by King Xiang who betrayed him?"

There's nothing wrong with this, but it's the same as if you didn't say it. Lu Yiqing still got the answer from Wei Jingrong later.

The answer is also very simple, Wei Jingrong said with a nonchalant expression: "Xiao He, the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, was originally my father's disciple. He has always respected his teachers, so a small favor at this time is nothing."

When Lu Yiqing heard this, he didn't know what expression to put on, and after a while he said, "Isn't that the way to respect the teacher? No, that's not the point. The point is that since you know Xiao He is the disciple of the great general, Xiang The king's mind was trapped by the gate, and he dared to defend the city with the Xiaoqi battalion? Speaking of which, since Xiao He was able to cooperate in opening the city gate, he himself should not have been dismissed, right?"

Wei Jingrong couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and waved his hands again: "That's not true. It's just that I told you Xiao He's identity, and others don't know that he is his father's disciple. Xiao He also went to the border to practice in the early years. But it’s a change of identity, so other people don’t know about it.”

After hearing this, Lu Yiqing was relieved, finally he didn't have to worry about King Xiang's IQ, he was just unlucky.

****************************************************************************

The Wei Family Army's journey has been very smooth. In the eyes of others, the entire process of attacking Chang'an was simply too easy.

However, Lu Yiqing, who was in the midst of the situation, could see clearly that the reason why Wei Jiajun was able to walk this road so smoothly was actually due to General Wei's long-standing plan.From the imperial decree tiger talisman he prepared, to the layout of the city that he deceived, and even now that Chang'an is said to be broken, Chang'an is broken, and there is no chance for the opponent to struggle and resist. These are not things that ordinary people can do.

At least Lu Yiqing asked herself, she can't do it, no matter how much money she earns, it's hard to do it - the contacts and management in it are not something that a small businessman can have, so from this point of view, David The general was not as upright as he appeared to be.

However, until now, General Wei, the person in charge, naturally had to be astute and capable, otherwise the situation in Chang'an would be difficult to deal with.

Lu Yiqing shook his head, not thinking too much about it.And just as she was thinking wildly, the last barrier of imperial power in Chang'an City, the imperial palace was also breached by the guards.It's a pity that she wasn't there at the time, and she couldn't see King Xiang panicked.

To be honest, Lu Yiqing was quite calm when he heard the news, and he didn't feel too much revenge or gloating.On the contrary, it was Wei Jingrong who came to talk to her about this, and when he talked about King Xiang's unbelievable panic at that time, his tone was full of sarcasm and relief - thinking about the trend of deducting the food and salaries of the Wei family army back then, it was from the King Xiang's party. At the beginning, the major general can hold his grudge.

Everything seemed to be settled, and the situation in Chang'an was controlled by the Wei Family Army. General Wei called together the important figures in the army to discuss the matter together.This time Lu Yiqing was also present, and no one excluded her.

General Wei still sat on the main seat, and briefly explained the current situation: "We are here to serve the king, but it is a pity that the traitor is vicious and murdered His Majesty long ago. Now that traitor has been taken down, and it will be sooner or later that he will be punished." , but my way of waiting has become a problem." After a pause at this point, he said again: "Your Majesty is gone, no one will praise us, and even now the entire Liang Kingdom has no owner."

The king was defeated, and the self-proclaimed emperor of King Xiang was naturally no longer recognized, but the country cannot live without a king.

Everyone thought so in their hearts, and they said with a straight mind: "Your Majesty dies, and the prince can take over the throne. We are all loyal ministers and generals who help the country. When the new king takes the throne, we will be rewarded."

As soon as these words came out, many people looked over. Everyone's eyes were subtle, but no one opened their mouths to point out anything.

General Wei was calm when he heard the words, and then he calmly stated a "cruel" reality: "Your Majesty originally had five princes, the eldest son of the emperor was twelve years old, and the youngest son was still in his infancy. All these princes were assassinated. Now that the blood of the late emperor has been cut off, no one in the court can be called orthodox, and it is a time of chaos."

When Lu Yiqing heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at General Wei, his gaze was also a little subtle—King Xiang really did a good deed for others this time, and the method of cutting grass and roots is simple and neat, which can be regarded as saving General Wei a lot thing.

Sure enough, when everyone who was still hesitant heard this, some people couldn't hold back and said: "If the blood of the first emperor is cut off, wouldn't there be no one who can succeed him? He just chose someone from the clan. We are the first emperor Qin King Heroes, I'm afraid they won't be liked by the new emperor. Maybe we have attacked Chang'an, and we have to be more prepared for us, and I'm afraid we will end up like before."

Everyone's thoughts were fluctuating, and they felt even more uneasy after hearing these words. Someone asked: "This is a good statement, but what should we do?"

Someone asked, and someone answered: "Naturally, there must be someone who can remember our achievements. In my opinion, the person who convinces me the most is the general. The general brought us to Chang'an. During this period, the hard work and achievements are the most important." I can't understand it."

The secret topic was finally revealed, and the scene became lively for a while, Lu Yiqing almost watched this "yellow robe plus body" farce with a cold eye.Although this was the result she had thought of a long time ago, the simplicity and simplicity of the people who can do it is indeed somewhat beyond her expectations. These people seem to have never thought about the possible opposition or even backlash from the court and the local government.

As usual, Wei Jingrong still sat next to Lu Yiqing, seeing her frowning, he asked, "Xiao Lu, why do you have such an expression, do you think there is something wrong?" His tone was relaxed, obviously he didn't think there was anything wrong .

Lu Yiqing felt subconsciously nervous when he heard the words, not to mention what other people would think when they heard Wei Jingrong's words in the current situation, even Wei Jingrong's own identity would also increase. It is really not a good thing to leave such an impression on him .So she hurriedly glanced around, seeing that no one noticed Wei Jingrong's words, she denied it: "No, I just think it's too fast."

Wei Jingrong was silent, just looked at her, obviously waiting for her explanation.

Lu Yiqing then explained: "The general has guarded the border for many years, and his reputation in the northwest is naturally incomparable. But Chang'an is different. The general has been away from the court for too long, and I am afraid that everyone will not accept his sudden ascension to a high position. Superficial obedience is only due to the power of the Wei Family Army, under such strong pressure, I am afraid that it will not only damage the reputation of the General and the Wei Family Army, but also easily cause backlash."

Wei Jingrong listened thoughtfully, but his expression didn't relax too much. Obviously, these words were not enough to convince him.

Lu Yiqing's words have come to this point, so he simply continued: "This is just the court, there are other places, clans and vassals. If the general acts rashly, these will be the future of the general. |Trouble."

Wei Jingrong finally lowered his brows and looked over: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Lu Yiqing squeezed his fingers, thought for a while and said: "I don't think there is any need to rush for a while. Now that the late emperor's heirs are cut off, it is reasonable to find someone to succeed him in the clan. Just like the previous emperor, we might as well choose a younger son. There is room for maneuver.”

This is a bit euphemistic, but who can not understand?The left is just to choose a puppet, and then develop itself to eradicate obstacles.It's just that unlike the former Chief Assistant who only took power, General Wei obviously went for the throne.When he felt that the time was right, he would ask the little emperor to write an edict for the Zen position, and he would look much better when he ascended the throne again than if he went straight to the throne—at least there would be an extra fig leaf.

Wei Jingrong obviously understood, but he remained silent—this method was smooth, but it was too time-consuming.
