After the general reported, he looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Of course, as King Qi's trusted aide, he knew what he should and shouldn't ask.
Zhu Xi's eyes lit up as he asked Zhu Xianfeng,""Feng 'er, could it be that the cavalry outside the city is your army?”
Zhu Xianfeng thought about it and nodded."It should be!"
"Alright, follow me!"
Then, Zhu Xi instructed his eldest son, Zhu Xian Xi,""Pin 'er, I'll leave these Embroidered Uniform Guards' corpses to you!”
"Yes, Father." Zhu Xian cupped his hands and bowed.”
Zhu Xi immediately led Zhu Xianfeng and the general out of the main hall.
……
About 15 minutes later.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xianfeng had already arrived at the eastern city wall of Yidu.
He looked into the distance.
Outside the city, flags fluttered and horses surged.
As far as the eye could see, there was almost no end to it.
Even though he was only two miles away, Zhu Xiong could still feel the killing intent and fighting spirit of the cavalry.
Seeing this scene.
Zhu Rong praised sincerely,"The iron hooves are firm, and the fighting spirit is soaring into the sky; What a mighty cavalry!"
He then asked Zhu Xianfeng,""Feng 'er, tell me the truth. Were you really the one who recruited the cavalry outside the city?”
Zhu Xianfeng stared at the incoming cavalry and calmly replied,""If Father doesn't believe me, I can personally welcome them.”
"Alright, go and welcome the cavalry commander into Yidu. As for the cavalry…let them camp outside the city!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Xianfeng responded and walked down the city wall.
Then…
He rode a horse out of the city and ran towards the Guanning Cavalry.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
The sound of horses galloping ahead grew louder and louder.
Zhu Xianfeng was getting closer and closer to the Guanning Cavalry.
Very quickly.
The general on the leading horse appeared in his field of vision.
It was a burly young man.
The face under the helmet was cold and murderous.
The moment he saw Zhu Xianfeng, a hint of admiration flashed across his bright eyes.
Then, he waved his hand to signal the army to stop.
"Your subordinate Zu Dashou greets the Lord!”
Zu Dashou quickly dismounted and knelt in front of Zhu Xianfeng's horse.
"Guanning's soldiers pay their respects to our Lord!"
"Guanning's soldiers pay their respects to our Lord!"
"Guanning's soldiers pay their respects to our Lord!"
The 20,000 Guanning cavalrymen saw this and immediately dismounted.
"Soldiers, rise!"
Zhu Xianfeng glanced at the 20,000 soldiers and nodded in satisfaction.
Yes!
System characters were indeed unconditionally loyal to him.
Then, his gaze fell on Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou.
A famous general with mixed reputation in history.
The Guanning Iron Cavalry he built was the last Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
On Guan Ningjin's defensive line.
He was once the nightmare of the Houjin Tartars.
He led the Guanning Cavalry to block the Eight Banners Cavalry outside Shanhaiguan Pass.
Unfortunately.
His life was tainted by two gold cuts.
In the end, he was labeled as a traitor of two dynasties, a traitor to the former ruler, and a traitor to the latter ruler.
But even so.
His 'a generation of famous generals who occupied outside the pass and took in the pass, he could be said to be loyal and loyalty', his achievements could not be erased.
Moreover, he had already become a system character.
With some emotion, Zhu Xianfeng immediately activated the Emperor's Eye skill and began to check Zu Dashou's attributes.
Character: Zu Dashou
[Loyalty: 100%]
[Strength: 86]
Intelligence: 72
Military Strategy: 78
Power: 51
Commander: 98
[Special Attributes: Ambush, Blitzkrieg, Riding Arrow]
Zu Dashou's five dimensional attributes could only be considered to be middle-high grade.
However, what surprised Zhu Xianfeng was that he actually had three special attributes.
Moreover, they were all formed around cavalry.
Next.
Zhu Xianfeng ordered the 20,000 Guanning Cavalry to set up camp.
A huge granary was temporarily built.
Soon after.
He then took out 100,000 dan of grain and let the cavalry store the grain first.
Everything was done.
Zhu Xianfeng then led Zu Dashou into Yi City.
Zhu Xiong, who was on the city wall, was overjoyed to see that these 20,000 cavalry were indeed Zhu Xianfeng's troops.
With his years of experience in the army, he knew that the cavalry in front of him was no ordinary army.
However, he could not figure out how Zhu Xianfeng managed to gather these 20,000 soldiers.
He saw Zhu Xianfeng running into the city with a general.
He rushed down the city.
Not long after, Zhu Xianfeng and Zu Dashou appeared in front of him.
"Father, this is Zu Dashou, the commander of the cavalry outside the city.”
Zhu Xianfeng introduced Zu Dashou to Zhu Rong.
"Greetings, King Qi!"
Zu Dashou immediately cupped his hands and bowed.
"General, there's no need to be so polite!”
"Now that the troops and rations are in place, is there anything else that worries you, Father?" Zhu Xianfeng asked.”
"This matter needs further consideration. Let's go back to the residence and discuss it properly!" Zhu Rong pondered for a moment and said.”
……
King Qi Manor, within the meeting hall.
All the generals of Qingzhou who belonged to King Qi's Mansion were gathered here.
"The Imperial Court has issued a decree to cut off the vassal state to Qingzhou and ordered this king to hand over his troops. Today, this king will be sent to the capital and will not be able to return for the rest of his life.”
Zhu Xiong swept his gaze over the officials and asked directly.
These generals were not like scholars and strategists. When they heard what Zhu Xiong said, they all became indignant.
Immediately, a general slammed the table and stood up. He said angrily,"The Imperial Court is simply going too far. King Qi was conferred the title of Fan King because of his military merits, so how can the Imperial Court strip him of it just like that?”
"If the Imperial Court insists on cutting off the Qi King Manor, I will be the first to disagree!”
"That's right, wantonly changing the founding ancestor's national policy, the new emperor's muddle-headedness has never been heard of!”
"This is all because Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and the other scholars are stirring up trouble behind the scenes. They deliberately sow discord among the royal family and instigate the new emperor to cut off his vassal!”
"Everyone says that scholars bring harm to the country. The ancients did not lie to me!”
"King Qi, tell us what to do. We will follow your lead!”
Zhu Xianfeng smiled as he sized up these generals and nodded to himself.
As long as they didn't cower, they wouldn't have to worry about rebelling.
"This king understands everyone's intentions!”
Zhu Xiong stood up and bowed to the generals, continuing,""However, I am old, and I am no longer able to plan against the Imperial Court. From today onwards, I have decided to hand over all matters of the Qi Mansion to the Wuwei Commandery Prince.”
"We will obey King Qi's orders!"
All the generals responded in unison.
Then, they all looked at Zhu Xianfeng and bowed.""Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Uncles, please rise!"
Zhu Xianfeng said politely, then changed his tone and said sternly,"Uncles, you must not reveal a single word about what we are discussing here today. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
"Rest assured, Your Highness. We are all willing to die for King Qi!”
The generals were shocked and hurriedly replied in unison.
"Good!"
Zhu Xianfeng was very satisfied with the generals 'attitude.
Next, he began to plan the steps.
First, they had to seal off the news of the Embroidered Uniform Guards dying in the King Qi Residence.
After that, he ordered the fifty thousand Qingzhou soldiers to strengthen their training.
At the same time, he secretly forged weapons and armaments in Yidu, collecting troops and buying horses.
They sent elite soldiers to infiltrate the counties and towns that belonged to the imperial court.
As long as the time was right, he could start the Battle of Jingnan and attack Ying Tian!
