Chapter 2170 Xiongguan
Mo Chenbo always thought that his father sent him to Hangzhou City. In order to reorganize the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in Mingli, it was actually to attract Wu Zheng's attention. Simply put, he was taken as a hostage to cover Liao Zhongping and lead his army to raid the empty Hangzhou City.
This is also the main reason why he gave Mo Yiqing a tip to leave the capital one day earlier.
Because only when Mo Yiqing returns to Hangzhou City before him, Wu Zheng will take care of Mo Yiqing and the children in her womb and let him have a way out.
But now, everything was beyond his expectations. Wu Zheng could let himself out of the city even though he knew Mo Yiqing's whereabouts were unknown.
What made Mo Chenbo the most painful was that as a father, he not only used his daughter to save his life, but also made his whereabouts unknown.
"Thank you, Prince...benevolence and righteousness!" Mo Chenbo bowed and staggered away.
When he arrived at the door, he stopped, he hesitated for a while, turned around and gritted his teeth, and spit out three words, "...Liao Zhongping!"
....
Liao Zhongping?
Wu Zheng frowned slightly. Liao Zhongping was placed under house arrest by Xia Wanchun and was once tense.
Later, Wu Zheng expressed his support for the emperor, and the matter was left to nothing.
Liao Zhongping's official position remains.
Mo Chenbo said these three words at this time, which surprised Wu Zheng.
Because at least half of the Zuoying is in Jiangbei, only half of the people stationed in the capital city. Moreover, Zuoying has had veterans since Zhu Yihai, and Wu Zheng has also installed many middle and lower-level personnel.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Liao Zhongping to gather enough power to launch a mutiny silently.
Even the emperor's will is the same. After all, the people who are placed cannot be completely bought or removed.
The key is that if Liao Zhongping just led his confidant to mutiny, then thousands of people would have no effect on Hangzhou City.
Unless Zhu Chenyu instructs him to mobilize the Right Camp or the Imperial Guard.
But Wu Zheng also believed that Mo Chenbo would not be aimless in spitting out Liao Zhongping's name at this time.
There is no reason!
"The prince...you must beware of the court's sudden attack on me!"
Li Yong, who had been waiting for the rumor outside the door, stepped in, "Mo Chenbo mentioned Liao Zhongping at this time... The implication was very obvious, that is, Liao Zhongping intended or had already launched... Now half of our army's military strength is north of the Yangtze River, and 30% of it is transferred to southern Zhejiang and the front line of Fujian. If there is really an unexpected situation, the consequences will be unimaginable... we have to be careful!"
Wu Zheng's face looked like ice. He also speculated in his heart, but subconsciously, he still didn't believe it, or was unwilling to believe it... Zhu Chenyu would take the blame for the world and attack him at this critical moment.
This is a national war!
Even if Zhu Chenyu doesn’t care about her brother-sister relationship for more than ten years, she still has to take care of the country and the country, right?
Wu Zheng ordered and said in a deep voice: "...Let the heads of the governments Lin Wei immediately explore the north along the official road. If there is any change, I will repay you immediately!"
After giving the order, Wu Zheng looked at Li Yong, "Do you think... Your Majesty will take action at this moment?"
Li Yong bowed and said, "It's the moment when the defense of Hangzhou City is empty. Regardless of whether the court will choose to take action at this critical moment, we must be vigilant..."
Wu Zheng's face was gloomy and nodded, "You are right. You should not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others... But the troops that can be mobilized by the Lord at present... Except for the Mansion Army and the Xiushui Militia, the other guards have combat missions. I am afraid that for a while... the distance water cannot quench the near thirst!"
Li Yong said seriously: "The prince... in the opinion of his ministers, he should be transferred to the military academy to train new recruits and immediately garrison Hangzhou City... At the same time, the prince should immediately order to close the city gates to prevent being taken advantage of by the slut...!"
Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Absolute... However, the new recruits in the military academy have made other arrangements... The Wusongwei headquarters stationed in the military hoarding workshop has been sent to the navy, and the new recruits have been transferred to the military work workshop... The military work workshop cannot be missed!"
Li Yong thought for a while and nodded, "The prince is very worried about... and he can only deal with it according to the city. But I hope the prince will immediately order the remaining troops of Jinhua's garrison to return to Hangzhou and order Chuzhou garrison to go east... According to the itinerary, as long as Hangzhou City can hold on for more than seven days, reinforcements can arrive!"
Wu Zheng nodded, "Accurate!"
....
Shanhaiguan, Xiongguan.
It is actually part of the Great Wall, with the city as the gate.
The city is more than four meters high and the city wall is more than two meters thick, which is enough to drive two cars together on the city wall, and there is no crowd.
As the most powerful barrier to the defense of northern ethnic minorities in the Ming Dynasty, simply put, as long as the defenders do not die, they can block the enemy under the city gate.
One man should be a pass, and ten thousand men cannot open up. To be harmonious, this is the key point.
But the city is dead, and the human is alive.
No matter how strong a fortress is, it cannot stop the attack, because people are alive.
Back then, Wu Sangui made a wrong choice between Li Zicheng and Dorgon, making him a big traitor despised by everyone.
Now the Qing court was driven out of Shanhaiguan by the rising Northern Expedition Army.
In fact, in the past ten years, the two major wars that affected the change of dynasties were not fought in Shanhaiguan.
This also proves that in fact, Shanhaiguan has little practical effect in terms of strategy.
What can really attack and defend is never the solidity of the pass, but the human being!
"Things in the world are unpredictable... I never expected that you and I can join forces to fight the enemy here!"
Shen Zhiyuan looked at the enemy's bonfire that was as dense as stars in the north and sighed to Qian Qiaogong beside him.
Qian Qiaogong narrowed his eyes slightly, and he said calmly: "What are you going to fight?"
Shen Zhiyuan turned his head and sneered at Qian Qiao, "What do you... want to fight?"
"The enemy is large and we are few, and our army's combat strength is indeed not as good as others... In my opinion, when we defend the city and use artillery to defend the enemy... When we came, I had already sent a police officer to the King of Wu... I think reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Shen Zhiyuan sneered: "You take it for granted!"
Qian Qiaogong said in a deep voice: "With the nature of the King of Wu, I will never sit idly by and watch Boluo attack!"
"That's also his ability to draw troops!" Shen Zhiyuan turned his head and looked north and sighed, "I'm afraid he has no time to care about the north at this time!"
Qian Qiaogong was shocked, "What do you mean by saying...?"
Shen Zhiyuan snorted, "I'm afraid you are the only one... I can't guess what the meaning is!"
Qian Qiao was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, he felt a stern, "What do you mean... You went south with the order this time... In fact, it was Your Majesty who wanted to attack the King of Wu, not to protect himself?!"
Shen Zhiyuan refused to comment, "How can those who accomplish great things benevolences a woman... He missed too many opportunities... Maybe it was God's will!"
Qian Qiaogong was furious, "Why didn't you say it before... If you said it at that time, I will lead the Fenglei Cavalry to return south, which will be enough to help the King of Wu resolve the predicament..."
"It's not too late for you to leave now!" Shen Zhiyuan turned around, with a hint of teasing, "I can hurry to collect his body!"
Qian Qiaogong was extremely angry and reached out to his waist.
