Chapter 1637: Each One's Own Plan
Originally, this urgent information would be passed directly to Qiu Long, but he had just had a secret conversation with King Yao, so it was not passed on to the little palace maid until now.
Seeing the broken wood on the plate, Qiu Long's eyes widened again.
This, this, this means!
He snatched the tray, turned around and ran back, almost forgetting to close the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
King Yao took the medicine and put two drops of eye drops in, and was taking a break to rest his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"The red pear wood stick broke, and Yuquan Palace urgently sent someone to deliver it." Qiu Long said in a hoarse voice, "The Luodian people invaded in large numbers, and the war just started on the north and north lines!"
Yao Wang opened his eyes and sat up straight.
There is finally news from the north line, but at this time?
He saw the sticks in Qiu Long's tray, which were bright red, representing the color of urgency.
Normally, he would be frightened when he saw this scarlet color, but now he felt a little numb.
There were so many big things happening tonight.
"Are the Luodian people joining in the fun too?"
Yao Country is not very large, but even if the beast is used to send messages, the intelligence of the sudden outbreak of war in the north will arrive at least overnight. At this time, the red pear wood stick comes in handy.
This stick is made of old pear tree branches from Yuquan Palace. The principle is similar to that of Qianqianjie. It is made of two branches growing from a tree fork. The length and thickness of the twin branches are exactly the same. If one of the branches breaks, the other one will break as well, and the breaking position and method are exactly the same.
Compared with Qianqianjie, its effective distance is longer, reaching hundreds of miles.
And according to the characteristics of the twin branches, users can also transmit more signals through different breaking methods. For example, this red pear wood stick marked with "Northern Frontier" has scale marks, and breaking it at different scale points corresponds to different events.
The other branch of the twin branches is in Yuwen Yong's hand.
The message he conveyed to King Yao through the wooden stick was, "The Luodian Kingdom is invading the northern line on a large scale."
After the death of Xue Zongwu, a famous general of Yao State, Luodian State was indeed ready to make moves and took the opportunity to cause trouble, but Yao State then sent two generals, Yuwen Yong and Chongwu, to the northern border to calm the situation.
Over the past three months, Luodian Kingdom has been very obedient. Unexpectedly, it would suddenly attack at this critical juncture!
This was because he saw that Yao State was in a desperate situation and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Qingyang met with Luodian Kingdom's Zuo Zongchang Qu Ruhai many times in Tianshui City, both openly and secretly, so Luodian Kingdom suddenly sent troops to attack Yaobei, most likely to cooperate with Qingyang!
Moreover, Yuwen Yong described the Luodian Kingdom's "large-scale" military expedition, which was no longer a simple raid, but a grand and enthusiastic frontal attack!
Given the character of the Luodian Kingdom, at least a few thousand cavalry would have to be dispatched.
He stood up subconsciously, but his body was a little shaky. Qiu Long quickly helped him sit back down: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry..."
Yao Wang stared at the red pear wood stick and said word by word:
"I understand, I finally understand! She doesn't just want to start a rebellion, she doesn't just want to rebel!"
He still believed that Qingyang's rebellion was intended to dethrone him and establish a new king.
Perhaps this is also what Bega meant.
But it was not until the Luodian people suddenly invaded that he suddenly realized: Qingyang had evil intentions and even wanted to uproot the Yao Kingdom!
She wanted to destroy not only him, but also the entire Yao Kingdom!
No, no, Qingyang represents the Demon Emperor... Could it be that Beijia wants to wipe the Yao Kingdom off the map of the Shining Gold Plains?
Fear and anger flooded him like a tide.
Strictly speaking, Qingyang is not a Yao person, but a regent sent by Beijia, so even if she has ill intentions, it cannot be called "rebellion".
But how could Qiu Long dare to correct his grammatical errors now?
King Yao's teeth were chattering. "I have always treated her with courtesy, but she, hehe, wants to destroy the Yao Kingdom!"
Even though Qingyang had pushed him to the limit, he had never thought of taking her life. But this vicious woman wanted to destroy the 200-year-old dynasty of Dayao!
Yao State had always regarded Beijia as a superior country, treated it with great respect and granted it whatever it wanted. He really couldn't understand what had offended the superior that made him want to see Yao State destroyed!
"Damn it, damn it! The old witch bullied me too much, Beijia bullied me too much!" Yao Wang's eyes slowly turned red, "Tonight, tonight!"
Qiu Long didn't dare to ask, but he had to ask: "Your Majesty?"
"She can't be allowed to leave the palace tonight!"
Although he was furious, King Yao was still clear-headed. The situation inside and outside Tianshui City and inside and outside Yao could be described as chaotic, but there was actually only one key point:
Qingyang!
As long as he kills Qingyang and the northern line of Yao Kingdom can resist the Luodian people, most of the disaster can be eliminated.
As for the refugees and the chaos in Tianshui City, they are unimportant in comparison.
When have you ever seen refugees go back to heaven?
As long as he gets rid of Qingyang, the culprit, he will have time to deal with the remaining problems calmly.
King Yao knew that Qingyang was surrounded by powerful people, but this was Yaodu, his territory!
No matter how powerful Qingyang and his men are, their numbers are limited after all. Can they defeat his army?
King Yao said to Qiu Long, "Is Zhao Song still waiting outside?"
"exist."
"Very good, call him in again. I want to set up a trap!"
King Yao smiled coldly. No matter how great Qingyang was, he was still an outsider after all. If she wanted to take over his kingdom, she would need the cooperation of an insider.
King Yao knew that the most important step at the moment was not to deal with Qingyang, but to eliminate the threats around him!
"Send the order out, quickly!"
Qiu Long hurried out. He had to hurry up and send out the Yao Wang's handwritten order, hoping that there was still time!
\\\\\
The chaos in Tianshui City lasted until the hour of Hai, and the two sides were still tied. For the first time, the patrol army failed to quickly achieve an overwhelming victory when facing refugees.
Li Qibao, the General of the Central Army, discussed with Bai Tan several times and adjusted tactics several times. He used gunpowder to blow up the high walls of the refugees' stronghold and called in a large number of practitioners to use various magical powers.
The power of practitioners will be discounted when compared to the energy of the army, but it is 100% effective against refugees.
The situation improved for a while.
But at this time, General Li Qibao was assassinated inexplicably and died in his office.
Bai Tan was suddenly attacked on his way to the refugee camp. Two waves of arrows shot at him from the darkness. Then several war puppets came on the scene, followed by three or four hundred refugees holding swords and guns.
Among them were some who were strong and agile, and they injured many officers and soldiers. Bai Tan killed three of them with his sword, and he himself was hit by an arrow in the arm and a sword in the shoulder.
Later, Bai Tan's reinforcements arrived one after another, and the refugees, seeing that they were no match for the enemy, quickly retreated.
Bai Tan ordered his personal soldiers to search through the bodies of the refugees, and unexpectedly found the tokens of King Yao's palace guards on them. He also found that the boots on their feet looked familiar. After identification, he found that they were also the style of the palace guards!
How come the palace guards’ tokens and clothes appeared on the refugees?
Bai Tan's personal soldiers shouted, "General, this is a palace guard in disguise! He has a badge on him!"
"This one too!"
"And this! His weapon is the Three Star Sword!"
The Three Star Sword is the standard weapon of the palace guards, and its appearance is different from other weapons.
The patrol troops in the rear were confused and had no idea what was going on.
Who was the person who attacked General Bai?
Did they kill the refugees or the palace guards?
At this time, the guard whispered to Bai Tan: "General, the south gate of the palace is secured."
Subsequent plans can be carried out.
Bai Tan covered his wound with one hand while shouting to the patrol guards behind him: "There is turmoil in the palace. The rebels pretended to be palace guards and killed the Zhonglang General first, and now they are here to harm me!"
"My king is in danger! You—" he said righteously, pointing his long sword towards the palace gate, "all follow me back to the palace to serve the king!"
He has always portrayed himself as a loyal monarch, and was the vanguard of opposition to Qingyang. Everyone knew that he was the monarch's most staunch supporter, so it was not surprising that the rebels came to harm him first.
He was covered in blood in the flickering firelight, with a look of worry for the country and the emperor on his face.
Seeing this scene, Yao Jun's blood boiled, and his emotions were greatly encouraged. They shouted: "Return to the palace! Serve the king!"
"Return to the palace! Serve the king!"
"Return to the palace! Serve the king!"
The echo lingers.
Bai Tan knew that the situation was irreversible, so he quickly deployed and arranged troops according to the plan.
From the outside, he selected the best troops from the patrol troops in each district and reorganized them with the Royal Guards to form a loyal army. Because the refugee riots in the capital were still continuing and were getting more and more intense, Bai Tan could not withdraw all the troops to suppress the riots, so he could only pick out the best and return.
Although this process took some time, he is now the supreme commander and others can only secretly curse him for being weird.
The scene was in chaos for a while, with troops coming and going, some in and some out.
Therefore, the new Baitan team that was reorganized after being disbanded was full of unfamiliar faces. It seemed that they were all strangers. This was not surprising. How could the guards recognize the city patrol? The city patrol itself could be divided into different districts and alleys. They did not usually gather together for meetings, so how could they recognize everyone?
But careful people may notice that these unfamiliar faces are strong and powerful but taciturn, and when others ask them "Which district are you from?", they ignore them.
But right now the country is in such a state of chaos and no one has time to meddle in other people's business, so just let it go and have a few grumbles in your heart.
In fact, in the end, only some guards and city patrol troops led by Bai Tan’s confidants were put under Bai Tan’s command, while the other 1,700 to 1,800 soldiers wearing city patrol uniforms were actually temple soldiers and guards from the temple!
Yaoguo conducted a census two years ago. There are a total of 187 temples of all sizes in Tianshui City, scattered throughout the capital. There are more than 200 guards in the big temples and three or four in the small temples. Isn't this normal?
The Tianshui City government approved the hiring of temple guards to drive out scoundrels and protect temple property. So each temple selected strong believers and trained them diligently. These temple guards were loyal and capable, and were no worse than the elite guards in the palace.
It's just that this kind of power is scattered among various temples and usually causes at most a little trouble. Yao Ting never expected that it could gather together and condense into one right under his nose!
This power would be useless if it was not used, and today it will be put to use. The temple guards and soldiers who can be selected by the temple to participate in today's incident must not only be physically strong and well-trained, but also have fanatical piety!
