Chapter 1188 - Shadow of Ten Famous Swords
Qing Dynasty, Kyoto City, Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Kangxi, who was over fifty years old, had a gloomy and terrifying face, "I didn't expect Daxia to go far away this time, instead of going to the Song and Ming Dynasties, he even came up with the idea of the Qing Dynasty."
At this time, Kangxi is like an old lion whose hegemony has been challenged. Facing the challenge launched by the young male lion, although he is angry, he feels powerless.
When Kangxi was willing to join the Six Nations Alliance, he also thought that "the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit". He thought that the more the war in the south, the safer the Qing Dynasty in the north.
How could I have thought that I would lift a rock and shoot myself in the foot.
In the past few days, one army after another of Daxia has been converging towards the northern border provinces and fighting towards the border. Even a fool can see what Daxia intends to do.
For the Qing Dynasty, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Sonny, Sukesaha, Aobai and other ministers standing under the hall also frowned, seeing His Majesty's anger, the oldest Sonny said: "Your Majesty, why don't you sacrifice the Kyushu tripod, or this crisis can be resolved? Weichen heard that even the Qin and Tang countries offered the Kyushu tripod to Daxia."
Kangxi waved his hand, "It's useless. If it was a month ago, he offered the Kyushu tripod on his own initiative, maybe there was still room for maneuver. Now that Daxia has sent troops, no matter how much he seeks peace, it will be useless."
Speaking of this, Kangxi was not without regrets. At the beginning, he was greedy and wanted to use the Kyushu tripod to threaten Daxia and ask for some benefits.
In the eyes of Kangxi and other ministers, Daxia must have come here to seize the Kyushu Ding, after all, the Song and Ming Dynasties had already offered the Ding.
They didn't know that Mongolia was already preparing to attack the Western Turkic Khanate.
Seeing this, Obai under the hall came out and said, "Your Majesty, since peace talks cannot be reached, let's prepare for war!"
In history, Oboi was killed by the little Kangxi. In the wilderness, Kangxi was older than Oboi. At this time, Oboi was an upright man in his prime, and he had not lost the martial demeanor he had when he conquered the world. He was also the main general of the Qing army.
After the Qing Dynasty ruled the capital city, most of the courtiers left behind were Manchu ministers. The Han officials either chose to go into seclusion or went to another country. Few of them stayed to serve the Qing Dynasty.
People like Yao Qisheng, Zhou Peigong, Lin Zexu, and Ding Ruchang all voted for Daxia. Only Hanchens like Cao Yin and Nian Gengyao who were entangled with the Qing Dynasty chose to stay.
Kangxi nodded, but his brows did not stretch.
Since entering Kyoto, the Imperial Guards in Kyoto have been automatically replaced by the Eight Banners cavalry, trapped in the small Kyoto County, with no room for display. Facing the Great Xia Tiejun, how much they can perform at a level is really worrying.
The Qing army was not known for its fierceness.
But just as Aobai said, despite all the difficulties, the Qing Dynasty has no way out and can only fight with its back.
"Order, prepare the army for war!" Kangxi ordered.
"Follow the Holy Word!"
The ministers responded, but their voices were not very loud, and some people's eyes flickered.
…………
Mongolia, Hara and Lin.
In the golden tent, Genghis Khan sits on the top with a big horse and a golden sword. Boershu and Mu Huali among the four masters, Jebe among the four braves, and Tuolei among the four sons are all listed one by one.
"Father Khan, when Great Xia is attacking the Qing Dynasty at this time, the Liao and Jin provinces must be defenseless. My son suggested that while attacking the Western Turks, divide up a group of surprise troops and attack the Liao and Jin. They will surely win in one battle."
It was Torrey who spoke.
As the prince who was most loved by Genghis Khan and also knew the most about military affairs, Tuo Lei, who appeared in the wilderness, was faintly ranked first among the princes.
Because in the game world, there is no problem of passing position yet.
As soon as Tuo Lei's words came out, Mu Huali and Zhebie also agreed with them, their expressions were quite excited. After a year of dormancy, these war madmen have long been unable to bear it, and wish they could fight every day.
Genghis Khan listened to Tuolei's suggestion, but shook his head, "Big Xia is a lion. As a hunter, it is very unwise to provoke a lion in its prime when it does not have the strength to hunt a lion."
"Father Khan, as long as you give me 200,000 elite soldiers, I will surely win the Liao and Jin Dynasties." Tuo Lei was a little unwilling.
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind." Genghis Khan's will is unshakable. He said, looking at Mu Huali and others who were eager to try, and said in a deep voice: "Taking the Western Turks is the most urgent task. The Turks are grasslands. Bad wolf, don't take it lightly."
"yes!"
Mu Huali and the others did not dare to be presumptuous, and respectfully accepted orders.
"It's better not to delay this matter. Send an order to the front line to start immediately and try to win the Western Turks within one month, so as not to stop the war in the Central Plains and become a hindrance." Genghis Khan instructed.
"Obey!"
Following Genghis Khan's order, the two heroes on the prairie are about to usher in a life-and-death duel.
…………
July 24, Luoyang.
It had been four days since Ouyang Shuo contacted Jianqi Leiyin, and the street fighting in Luoyang City was still stalemate. With the advancement of the Great Xia Army, although the Han army was retreating steadily, it finally held on.
Wei Qing didn't panic at all.
According to the reports from the spies, the Great Jin had already cut off the food and grass supply of the Great Xia Army, and now the Great Xia Army was searching for food and grass everywhere, and the food and grass stored in the barracks might not be able to last for too long.
If it goes on like this, the final winner must be a big man.
It's a pity that Wei Qing, who has been commanding the front line, didn't know at all that in just a few days, an undercurrent has gradually taken shape in the inner city of Luoyang, and everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The plan to assassinate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has come to an end, and only the final blow is waiting.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Weiyang Palace.
The torrential rain has stopped, and the rain is falling. The Weiyang Palace in the rain and fog looks mysterious and desolate.
Under the guidance of an eunuch, Jianqi Leiyin was going to the Xuanming Hall to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The reason was that at this critical moment in Luoyang, as the largest guild in Luoyang City, [Tingyulou] was willing to help.
In the fierce battle in Luoyang, every force is a boost to the big man, which can increase the chances of winning the war, let alone a super guild like [Tingyulou].
Under the operation of caring people and the recommendation of ministers, Jianqi Leiyin's trip to the palace came about.
For four days, Shanhaiwei and [Tingyu Tower] used all available resources and distributed a lot of money. After hard work, what they finally got was such an admission ticket.
There is only so much that can be done.
Whether the next assassination can be successful depends on the impromptu performance of Jian Qi Lei Yin.
In order to cooperate with Daxia again, Jianqi Leiyin also went all out this time, and went to battle in person. You know, once the assassination fails, the sword Qi Leiyin will definitely not be able to leave the palace alive.
On the way to the Xuanming Hall, Jianqi Leiyin was inspected three times by the palace guards, and they were more stringent each time, making sure that Jianqi Leiyin did not carry a sharp weapon.
Not even an embroidery needle is allowed.
Jianqi Leiyin cooperated throughout the whole process, she was very patient, and she didn't show any nervousness, because the weapon she was carrying this time was the Yingying Sword among the top ten famous swords, which was shadowless and invisible.
It's raining again now, and I can't even see a shadow.
Even so, he didn't carry this Shadow Bearing Sword with him, lest the guards who searched would find any flaws. It wasn't until the Xuanming Palace was approaching and all the searches were over that Jianqi Leiyin calmly took the Chengying Sword from a rotating eunuch guarding outside the Xuanming Palace.
This eunuch is naturally one of the pawns in [Tingyu Tower].
In order to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the right time when the eunuchs are on duty, [Tingyulou] took a lot of thought.
The whole plan is linked together.
Entering the main hall, the defense suddenly weakened. Except for the guards on duty outside the hall, there was not a single guard in the hall, only two eunuchs on duty, accompanying Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
As a master of the rivers and lakes, Jianqi Leiyin will not be confused by this appearance. From her perception, there are Ouchi guards in hidden places such as behind the screen of the main hall and on the roof beams.
Even those two eunuchs were not ordinary people.
Looking at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was sitting upright above him, Leiyin with sword energy saluted: "Leiyin with sword energy, a foreigner, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also an emperor who was used to strong winds and waves. Although Luoyang may fall at any time, there is no trace of abnormality in his demeanor. The whole person is unpredictable and awe-inspiring.
Seeing Jian Qi Lei Yin, he felt a stagnation in his heart.
"[Tingyulou] can stand up to relieve the court's worries when the court is in crisis. I am very relieved. Once the crisis in Luoyang is resolved, you can be granted the title of Marquis." In order to win over [Tingyulou], Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spared no expense.
Jianqi Leiyin was very excited when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
To be honest, if in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was willing to confer the title of Marquis of Sword Qi Leiyin, she would be ecstatic, which means that [Tingyu Tower] can walk sideways in the territory of Dahan.
Now, it's nothing but shit.
Just when Jianqi Leiyin finished thanking him and was about to get up, a sharp arrow shot from outside the hall, through the paper-pasted doors and windows, and pierced into the hall like a sharp arrow.
"There are assassins, protect Your Majesty!"
Jianqi Leiyin said as he rushed towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time, five imperial guards appeared in the hall out of thin air, forming an array in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The eunuchs on both sides were also like shadows, standing in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, waiting in full force.
Because Jianqi Leiyin didn't bring a weapon, and his family was innocent, and he had just been granted the "Emperor Seal" by His Majesty, so when he saw Jianqi Leiyin rushing up, the two eunuchs only thought they were here to escort him.
How could they have thought that the sharp arrow outside the hall was originally there to create an assassination opportunity for Jianqi Leiyin.
