Chapter three hundred and twelve: wolf ambition
At this moment, after taking over the Emperor Qitian Capital and avenging the blood feud of the homeland, what Yang Qin needs to consider next is naturally the subsequent trend.
He avenged blood feud in his homeland in order to look for the cohesion of Qin. Without a unified goal, Yang Qin would not be able to control Qin from far away in the imperial capital. Even the King of Qin was openly obedient to his words.
But Yang Qin is not a fool, so he naturally had a plan to get out of here before doing things.
At this moment, he called two princes, and it was for this.
The emperor died and the imperial capital was lost. The three forces fighting outside the imperial capital were about to come to an end.
The purpose of the Three Kings is nothing more than praying for the throne of the Emperor, and Yang Qin's purpose is nothing more than hoping that Qin will be independent again.
To achieve this goal, he must choose a moderate partner. This partner must have the same ambition, same tolerance, and same accumulation and development as him.
The allies he chose were originally the King of the West, Chengbi, among the four kings guarding the border, and the Eastern Palace was finally in the royal family. In addition, the King of the East had not died in battle before, and was the last of the older generation of the royal family members. Yang Qin naturally did not dare to pay attention to the Eastern Palace. In addition to the King of the East, the King of the West, Chengbi, was the strongest in the King of the Frontier. The King of the West, Chengbi, was domineering, arrogant, and extremely ambitious, and was obviously dissatisfied with the court. Even if he did not go to find the King of the West, their battle with the imperial capital would begin sooner or later.
Therefore, Yang Qin and Huang Chengbi had been communicating letters to plan rebellion for some time before. But at the critical moment, the Western Prince's Mansion could not do it.
First, he could not help with the rebellion, but later he was suppressed by the Northern Prince's Mansion in the battle before the imperial capital, which made Yang Qin very angry. The strategy he had already made was delayed in implementing. He had been holding it in the inner city for several days. Within a few days, the two princes in front of him could contact the ministers of the imperial capital to resist. If Yang Qin had not discovered it in time and killed all the people who were in charge, he would have died on the spot at this moment.
However, just a few days ago, a secret letter from the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu broke the deadlock.
He seemed to have seen through Yang Qin's thoughts. The letter mentioned that if his emperor Zhengchu became the emperor of Qi Tian, he would immediately issue an order to let Wang Qin escape from Qi Tian and become independent as the country. He would not pursue all his crimes and return all Yang Qin and his team.
When he saw this secret letter, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Yang Qin's mouth.
Naturally, he did not believe what the Northern King said. If he succeeded and defeated the enemy, if he really helped Emperor Zhengchu to hold the throne, he would be dead or alive, then he would have no choice but to do so.
It’s better to take advantage of the fact that you still occupy the inner city and find more trump cards for yourself to defend yourself, so you can get out of here.
Huang Zhengchu's meaning is very simple. On the front battlefield, no one is his opponent, and it is only a matter of time before he defeats the other two armies. But if he enters the imperial capital in the name of King Qi Tian Bei, he will have no legitimate reason to be the emperor. At that time, he will inevitably need to support the descendants of the former emperor as the emperor, so that it can be natural. However, there are only two descendants left by the former emperor. The Northern King asked Yang Qin to kill the two princes to pave the way for himself to ascend to the throne of Emperor Qi Tian.
At this moment, Yang Qin had a cruel smile on his lips, and he looked at the two princes who were trembling in front of him, and his smile became stronger.
After they were found to have signs of resistance and failed, the two princes immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, looking greedy and afraid of death. At this moment, they knelt on the ground and shivered, without the courage that the royal family should have.
Thinking about the King of Dong and Emperor Qitian who fought with Yang Qin before, looking at the two princes in front of him, even as enemies, Yang Qin wanted to raise his knife to chop them up immediately. But now he can't, and it's useful to keep them.
"Two princes, do you want to live?" Yang Qin tried to make his tone look softer, but it didn't seem useful. As soon as his voice came out, the two princes obviously trembled all over and trembled even more violently.
In the past few days, Yang Qin's actions in the inner city have really made the two princes brave. Especially after their affairs were exposed, Yang Qin not only killed all those involved in the matter, but also killed countless palace maids and officials in the palace, including the emperor's concubines. All officials in the imperial capital, if they refuse, would be killed immediately. Now, let alone resisting Yang Qin, the officials in the imperial capital, including two princes, did not even have the courage to look directly at Yang Qin.
"I want to... I want to live." King Huai and King Jing shivered, lying on the ground, trembling and trembling.
"Okay, that's great." Yang Qin narrowed his eyes and said softly: "If you want to live, then be obedient. Otherwise, even if I don't kill you, your relatives outside the city will still kill you once they come in, do you understand?"
"I understand... I understand!" The two kings nodded quickly. As princes, this matter can be understood. If the three kings guarding the border outside the city had the intention of serving the king, they would have already entered the imperial capital. The imperial capital is now empty, and the vast majority of Yang Qin's troops were arranged in the inner city. The imperial capital wall and the outer courtyard of the imperial city had no resistance at all. If one of them intends to serve the king, he only needs to send 10,000 soldiers to occupy the imperial capital, and then there will be capital to negotiate with Yang Qin, but after so long, no soldiers have entered, which is enough to explain the problem.
Yang Qin turned around gently, waved his hand, and immediately four soldiers came up beside him, dragging the two princes who were so scared that they were unstable and dragging them into the deep palace.
Yang Qin's smile on his face became stronger, and he felt that the game now was even more interesting.
"I really didn't expect it." Yang Qin smiled viciously and said to himself: "The vast Qitian, three hundred years of country, now it's my turn, the heir of a small declining country, to decide the future emperor candidate, hahahaha..."
Playing with the imperial seal on the dragon table, a trace of splendor appeared in Yang Qin's eyes.
...
After four days of trekking, the supply team where Huang Yuchen was finally arrived at the city of Pingjin City.
This is the first time Huang Yuchen has come to Pingjin City. This city is located in a remote area of the Dongwang Mansion and has many mountains around it. It is an easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding mountains are rich in ores. Pingjin City uses these ores to build military equipment and provide them with the needs of the Dongwang Mansion.
Pingjin City does not occupy a large area, and there is no field around it. Instead, it is a bit desolate. There are not many weeds in the wilderness, and the trees are even more sparse. Only vague mounds appear from time to time and spread far into the mountains.
Following the army, he successfully entered Pingjin City. Huang Yuchen thought to find an opportunity to go to the city lord's mansion and go to Xiao Yibo's side. Although he was a little reluctant, he had no other choice in the current situation.
Most of the supply team brought to Pingjin City were food and grass, and they also escorted a small amount of silver and money. The purpose of the supply team was to shuttle through the four areas of the Dongwang Mansion, transport necessary materials to the four urban areas, and then take away the supplies. The Dongwang Mansion has been operating like this for decades, but now even if there are any changes, there is no change in throwing them away.
After following the supply team to the Pekan Castle Warrior Mansion. After helping to unload the supplies, Huang Yuchen returned to the garrison and greeted several colleagues. Then he came out of the garrison and headed straight to the Pekan Castle Lord's Mansion.
After several days of interaction, he had become a group of sergeants in the same team. The team leader took good care of himself. He knew that he had come to Pingjincheng for the first time. Even if this mission was completed in Pingjincheng, as long as he did not miss the return trip in the future and wandered around the city, it would be nothing.
Wearing the standard military uniform of the Dongwang Mansion, Huang Yuchen walked on the not-wide street of Pingjin City, looking at the bustling crowd, and was in a good mood.
On both sides of the street, the most shops are blacksmith shops. Each shop has several big men naked, naked, constantly forging weapons, and the sound of jingling is endless.
"This should be a rush to build the equipment for the recruits." Huang Yuchen said in his heart, walked forward a few steps, passed through the street in front of the Wufu Gate, and entered the main street.
The construction specifications of the cities under the rule of the Dongwang Mansion are similar. The main gate is opposite the City Lord's Mansion. Not far from the City Lord's Mansion is the Wufu. There are granaries and fixed military garrisons in the Wufu. Pingjin City is one of the four main cities, and the permanent garrisons can be stationed at 20,000 soldiers, but there are definitely not so many now. The elite sergeants have been transferred to the front line. At most, there are only three or four thousand defenders left in Pingjin City.
Soon, Huang Yuchen came to the gate of the city lord's mansion. He saw two fully armed soldiers standing in front of the door on duty. He stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully: "I'm here to see the city lord Xiao, please inform me."
The soldier glanced at Huang Yuchen and saw that he was wearing standard military armor and looked like a soldier. He smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, I can't see you. The Lord Xiao City Dragon saw his head but didn't see his tail, and he was almost not in the Lord's Mansion. Besides, even if you are there, you are a little soldier, and you are not qualified to see the Lord."
"Yes, little brother." The sergeant on the side also looked over, smiled, and said, "You might as well leave quickly. If you see that you have left your post without permission, you will have to beat a military stick."
"Uh..." Huang Yuchen was stunned by the two of them. After thinking about it, he immediately understood what the two soldiers meant.
Judging from Huang Yuchen's understanding of Xiao Yibo, although this man seemed careless, he knew very well. He was very strict with his subordinates on weekdays, not to mention that he suddenly took charge of Pingjin City and had to deal with complicated things every day. It is reasonable to say that his whereabouts are uncertain.
"Which..." Huang Yuchen hesitated for a moment, reached into his arms, took out a black token in his arms, and showed it to the two soldiers, saying, "I see that City Lord Xiao has something important, so I have to bother you to report it. If City Lord Xiao is no longer, I will wait."
When the two soldiers saw Huang Yuchen take out a token from their arms, they immediately stretched out their heads to look. After seeing the token clearly, their faces immediately changed drastically. Then they knelt on one knee and said, "The villain has no eyes, so please atone for his sins."
"Get up quickly." Huang Yuchen quickly asked the two soldiers to get up. He was unwilling to take out this token. If he saw the Eastern King's Order, it would be shocking when he took it out. Huang Yuchen did not want to attract attention, but he did not take out the token. As an ordinary soldier, it would be impossible to enter the city lord's mansion.
The two soldiers saw Huang Yuchen's meaning and quickly stood up. A soldier whispered: "Sir, please wait a minute, I'll report it." Then, he turned around and entered the mansion.
The remaining soldier stood in place with straight eyes without looking at Huang Yuchen again. He was a little confused about how could such a young boy have the Order of the King of the East?
Huang Yuchen stood quietly, gently wiping his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and wanted to relieve the sergeant, but hesitated for a while and still didn't speak, so as not to be as good as a big enemy.
Fortunately, the wait was not very long. After a moment, the soldier who had just entered turned back and came to Huang Yuchen and whispered: "Sir, the city lord is not in the mansion. If you really have important things, you can come in and wait, please." After that, he made a gesture of invitation to Huang Yuchen.
Huang Yuchen didn't say much, then nodded and went straight into the lord's mansion of Pingjin City.
The city lord's mansion was quiet and there was no servant or any soldier on duty. Huang Yuchen looked around and went straight to the front hall, sat on a chair, and waited quietly.
Chapter completed!
