"Are you saying that the imperial capital is already under the control of the Tiger Wing Army?" The teacup in his hand swayed slightly, and accidentally splashed all over him, but Situ Yutang didn't notice it at all, and just stared at it closely. On the face of this armored soldier standing respectfully in the hall.
There was no expression on Huangfu Tiancheng's serious face. In front of this complicated princess, he knew that he could neither show joy nor sadness. At this time, he had so many emotions, even he felt sad in his heart, let alone this. As the most influential seventeenth princess in the Situ family, Her Royal Highness.
"Yes, Your Highness, Yusuf's City Guards and the Third Army suddenly entered the city from the north gate of the imperial capital, launched a rebellion in the North City District, burned a large number of houses in the North and West Districts, and parts of the East and South Districts were also infiltrated by rebel troops Due to the harassment, Master Ma Yuan led the Imperial Guards to resist and asked for help from Jinzhong and Luyang. Master Song had already led the Tiger Wing Army to the east for reinforcements three days ago. I also just received the news about the situation in the imperial capital. It has been brought under control, the city guards have been defeated and surrendered, Yusuf committed suicide by taking poison, and Lord Song is still waiting for the next instruction from His Highness King Qin."
Huangfu Tiancheng carefully controlled his tone and described the incident as briefly as possible in objective and calm sentences. Song Tianxiong led the Tiger Wing Army directly into the imperial capital and took control of the entire imperial capital city in one fell swoop. Such a great feat indeed made Huangfu Tiancheng, who didn't like fighting, a little itchy, but he didn't really like to participate in this kind of war. In his opinion, this kind of thing was already done. The final battle facts are actually of little value. The test of an army's combat effectiveness is the tasks that others think are impossible or difficult to complete.
"When did this happen?" Situ Yutang could no longer control her emotions. Even she found that her rapid breathing had become a little uneven. What was wrong with her? This is not surprising. Why can't I help but feel my heart sinking when I hear the news? Are I worried about the fate of the Situ family? Situ Yutang asked himself deep in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it must have happened yesterday. I only received the news from Lord Song this morning. The first division of the First Army of the Western Xinjiang Reinforcement Army from Luyang has also arrived in the imperial capital and is now helping Lord Song maintain the situation in the imperial capital. ." Huangfu Tiancheng's words were concise and to the point.
"Do you know the specific situation in the Imperial Capital?" The upset Situ Yutang no longer knew what to do. He volunteered to rush to the Imperial Capital with the purpose of taking advantage of this opportunity to try his best to win some pitiable conditions and opportunities for the Situ family before the Imperial Capital fell completely into the hands of Xijiang. But what should we do now? The imperial capital is already under control of Western Xinjiang, will Wu Feng still agree to his ideas and wishes
He waved his hand to indicate that Huangfu Tiancheng could leave. Situ Yutang needs to be alone to think about the purpose of his trip. The Situ family does not have much to offer in exchange. Perhaps the only thing worth considering is a great cause. Seventh Brother has surrendered. It's a foregone conclusion, even if he doesn't want to, those nobles and gentry who hope to gain the favor of the new master by betraying this point will eagerly jump out and write to the request all day long, and will even say with great righteousness that this is the voice of the people, this is God's will and public opinion. What more price can you ask for? Situ Yutang is a little discouraged. No one can guess Wufeng's thoughts. Sometimes you think he is tolerant and generous, and he can even give in to anything. Sometimes you think he is unreasonable and will not give in even the slightest condition. This made Situ Yutang a little at a loss as to what to do. It was probably because it concerned the interests of the entire family and he was worried about gains and losses.
Slowly calming down, Situ Yutang carefully considered everything that had happened. The change of control of the imperial capital does not mean everything. Situ Yutang has figured out some ways of thinking about Wu Feng. He does not seem to want to get too entangled in the internal affairs of the empire. Situ Yutang has a feeling that Wu Feng He pays more attention to the outside world than the inside. The main reason why he looks at the interior of the empire seems to be because a unified empire can bring him stronger power so that he can use these powers to develop the future. Look at the importance he attaches to areas such as Central Continent, Tengger and Indochina. Even when the domestic situation in the empire is extremely serious, he seems unwilling to give up all the surrounding areas. He seems to enjoy the pleasure of conquest. This is Situ Yutang has observed what he has learned over the years, and it is only now that Situ Yutang is sure.
Look at his attitude towards the Five Lakes, Jiangnan and East China Sea that have fallen under his control. Although he attaches great importance to it, it is because of the huge financial income these places can bring him, not the places themselves. He valued places like Tengger, Western Regions, and Burma County in his heart at all times.
Perhaps this is what he gained from developing the soil in his hands, and this is what is most worth cherishing. If it had been anyone else, if they had controlled the hinterland of the empire such as Jiangnan and Donghai, they would have come to see him in person as soon as possible. He didn't even have any plans to go for an inspection, but he kept his eyes fixed on India and even contemplated personally inspecting India and Pamir in Northern Luzon. Situ Yutang often couldn't imagine his fiancée. What exactly are you thinking about? Even your priorities seem to be a bit reversed.
All this also shows that the empire itself is not that important to Wu Feng, which also gives Situ Yutang some comfort. At least Wu Feng will not go too far to pursue the Situ family, and maybe give it to him in a peaceful and logical way. Wu Feng would be most happy to see a decent and glorious crown.
Who should I have a good talk with first after entering Beijing? Is it the imperial brother or several influential clan uncles? Situ Yutang was a little undecided. Although she already knew that several clan uncles and royal brothers wanted to end this embarrassing situation, could these clan uncles and royal brothers accept the seemingly humiliating step of abdicating the throne? How to make the Situ family withdraw from the center of the historical stage? At this point, Situ Yutang also had no idea.
Situ Yutang tried hard to find similar examples in his memory. There were no examples of abdication in Tanghe's history, but most of them happened between fathers, sons and brothers. This kind of abdication between people with different surnames actually uses harsher words. To put it simply, it was rebellion, but as everyone expected, everything fell into place. No one dared to use this word to express this meaning.
Now that even the Imperial City is in the hands of Xijiang, all this seems to be easier, but Situ Yutang knows that many accidents often happen under such circumstances. Wu Feng wants to seek a perfect debut. He also clearly revealed this in his conversation with himself. He did not want to see anything unpleasant happen during this period, which meant that he was responsible for convincing the entire Situ family to exercise restraint in the future. And keeping a low profile is not an easy thing. It is easy to grasp the mainstream direction of the family, but it is too difficult to control the thoughts of the entire family members. Especially the Thirteenth Sister, who can influence her actions? Fortunately, Wu Feng seemed to understand this.
Now I can only take one step at a time. As long as I can convince the clan uncles and the emperor to accept the reality of abdication, I have barely achieved my goal of going to Beijing this time. As for other things, who can say clearly? Just do your best.
The ups and downs in the imperial capital and Cangzhou did not affect Cheng Dayou, who was in full strength in the east of Yanyun. As soon as Yanshan was reached, the aftermath was quickly pushed aside under military control. He left it all to the deputy First Army Corps who was responsible for this operation. Long Zizi, the deputy commander of the corps and commander of the fifth division, concentrated on planning how to launch an attack on the Okhotsk region. This made Long Zizi extremely depressed. The army of nine divisions marched northward, and Yanshan Mansion fell without even a decent battle, leaving a mess behind. He was left to take over the aftermath, but Long Zizi He is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. Liang Chongxin has already confessed beforehand that he will try his best to cooperate with the other party to control the situation in the north. Now the situation in Yanshan is like this. After the iron and blood, there should be some appropriate sunshine. Sticks and carrots are always the most effective for those in power. means.
Cheng Dayou did not have so much thought to think about this. His attention had already been put on how to seize the Okhotsk region in the north. His Highness the King of Qin did not explicitly prohibit launching an offensive against the Dodon people. In Cheng Dayou's view, , there are not many wars in the empire worth paying attention to, so it is necessary to use some small-scale wars to temper the army and test the combat effectiveness of the army. The Okhotsk region should be the best touchstone.
After he handed over Yanshan to Long Zizi and his direct fifth division, he led the remaining six divisions to withdraw from Yanshan Fucheng and continue to advance northward, making a plan to attack the Duodun people from the northwest of Yanshan. The appearance of launching an offensive in the Ci area immediately made the Dodon people nervous who had been paying attention to the military power government in the south that was undergoing drastic changes.
The Kutz region and the Okhotsk region, one to the west and the other to the east, closely guard the border between the Tang River Empire and the Dodon Kingdom. The Dodon people are stationed in both the Kutz region and the Okhotsk region. There are heavy troops, especially in the Kutz area. Since the flat terrain of the Kutz area is more conducive to large-scale army battles, the Kutz area has always been the focus of defense for the Doton people to retreat. Although the Okhotsk area is close to the sea, the terrain is relatively complex and the defensive advantages are more obvious.
