Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 384: Accidents (2)

,

Li Jingjun's face was pale, and the hand holding the paper used a lot of strength, and the back of his hand was full of blue veins.

The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly whispered: "The capital has more than 40,000 troops, the city walls are high and thick, and there is a moat. Yan Tuo is leading 50,000 people and cannot attack the capital at all. Second brother, don't worry. !”

I don't know if I'm comforting Li Jing or comforting myself.

Why not worry?

The capital is the birthplace of the Li family. The Li family has been entrenched in business for two hundred years. Even when the previous dynasty was chaotic, the capital was not in chaos. Under the **** of Li's elite soldiers, he transitioned to Dawei Zimin safely.

The people of the capital are used to living a prosperous and comfortable life, but suddenly they are surrounded by the Yan army.

All the generals who were able to conquer and excel in battles all went on expeditions with Emperor Yongjia. There were only a few veteran generals left in the capital. One general, Sun who was able to fight, died on the battlefield last year. Now the only one left who can lead the army is General Liang.

There is only one useless fifth prince left in the palace, a bunch of old and weak women and children, how panic would they be when they find out about this?

In case... if the Yan army really breaks the capital... No, there will be no such case!

The capital will be able to hold on!

Li Jing exhaled a few heavy breaths, with a pale and handsome face, his expression quickly calm and calm: "Fourth brother, you are now writing a letter to the emperor on my behalf. The battle of Yan and Chu is at a critical juncture, and we cannot give up halfway. Our brothers two One, set off immediately and return to Beijing to rescue!"

The fourth prince didn't even seem to be joking, and his brows were twisted into a twist: "There are only 2,000 people here. What's the use of bringing us back with so many people? In my opinion, I'd better ask the royal father to send troops back with us. Beijing.”

"It's not right!" Li Jing's eyes flashed, and his voice was firm: "Once the troops are divided, I'm afraid that Yan Chu will counterattack. We must conquer Chu State and pacify the Central Plains in the fastest time. In this way, Yan Tuo will continue to fight. It's great, but it's just a lone army."

"As long as the capital can be held for two months...a month is enough. The garrisoned troops from all over the city rushed to the capital, and it would not be a problem to join forces to defeat the Yan army."

"General Liang is in charge of the capital, and there will be no major troubles. There must be people outside the city, and only if I rush back can I command and move the garrisoned troops."

Garrisons in various places do not have the decree of the Son of Heaven and cannot leave the garrison without permission.

Emperor Yongjia couldn't get away, only Li Jing, the crown prince, could order the troops to garrison.

The fourth prince is still frowning: "However, second brother, you are still recovering, and your body can't help galloping on the road..."

"I can hold it!" Li Jing opened his mouth and interrupted the fourth prince: "After more than two months, the trauma has healed. I won't be brave, I will ride a carriage all the way. I don't charge into battle, and when necessary, Show your face and calm down the army."

The fourth prince was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead came out: "Second brother, it is absolutely impossible! Otherwise, I will lead the troops back to Beijing. It is the same with me."

"How can this be the same." Li Jing couldn't help but say: "I am the prince of the Great Wei, with the golden seal of the prince. If you go, the garrison commanders will not obey your orders, and it will be too late to regret it."

The fourth prince was so rude that he couldn't persuade the prince who insisted on going back to Beijing. In desperation, he had to give in: "Forget it, I can't persuade the second brother, just go back with the second brother. However, you have to go on the road. Listen to me, don't be brave and ignore your body."

Li Jing had no intention of saying more, nodded in response, and urged the Fourth Prince to write a letter.

……

The fourth prince had to roll up his sleeves and write a letter to Emperor Yongjia.

Li Jingren sent the letter out, and without waiting for Emperor Yongjia's decree, he immediately ordered everyone to tidy up. It takes at least three days to prepare for the army to set out.

His Royal Highness the Prince was so anxious that he ordered everyone to set off within two days.

As a result, everyone in the barracks was busy.

The two imperial physicians who treated the prince's wounds were also busy packing up all the medicinal materials, got on the carriage, and went back to Dawei with the army.

Two days later, at the fifth watch, the sky just dawned, and the army set off.

Among the two thousand soldiers, there are the Prince's personal soldiers and the elite of the Xingyang Army.

The prince's personal soldiers, who were originally pampered, have experienced the baptism of the battlefield for more than a year, and nearly 40% of the casualties have been injured.

Li Jing couldn't run around on horseback, laying in a carriage to drive.

In order to make His Royal Highness more comfortable, Commander Zuo led a few personal soldiers to remodel the carriage within two days. All the seats were removed and a narrow wooden couch was placed. The narrow couch was covered with thick futons.

Li Jing was lying on the narrow couch.

The two imperial physicians stood by.

Li Jing felt slightly unwell, and the imperial physicians immediately consulted for the pulse. There is a medicine stove and various medicinal materials on the carriage, and the medicine can be boiled immediately when the prescription is prescribed.

Li Jing closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the capital, his thoughts were chaotic.

Seeing that his chest was heaving, the imperial physician hurriedly offered to comfort him: "His Royal Highness has not recovered from his injury, and now he has no choice but to travel with all his strength, and he must not be moved in vain. To avoid aggravating the injury."

Li Jing snorted and continued to close his eyes to rest.

The fourth prince rode a half-day horse, and when the army stopped to rest, he got into the carriage, and asked with concern: "Second brother, can you bear this kind of journey? Does your chest hurt?"

Li Jing sat up from the narrow couch, twitched the corners of his mouth and replied, "The road is bound to be bumpy. However, I can bear it. I'll rely on you to support me along the way."

The fourth prince was not happy to hear this, so he glanced at Li Jing: "It's this time, what do you do with these foreign words? Yan Jun went to the capital, you prince is in a hurry, shouldn't I be in a hurry? My home is in the capital, and my mother, wife and unborn son are also in the capital. I wish I could put my wings on and fly back now.”

The Fourth Prince has the spirit of having fun in the midst of hardship~IndoMTL.com~ I was so anxious that my heart was bleeding, and I could still talk and laugh.

Li Jing's tense spirit was relieved a little, and there was a little warmth in the eyes of the fourth prince: "You are right, we are brothers, we should support each other. Don't say these things. outside."

The fourth prince grinned, and the smile he squeezed out was not much better than crying: "I will order everyone to rest for half an hour before going on their way."

I can't fly back in any hurry.

The army is on the road, and it is fast enough to be able to travel 80 miles a day.

Li Singing nodded: "You are in charge of the march. I issued the prince's edict and sent people to deliver letters to the garrison in various places. If the time is fast, I may be able to reach the capital within a month."

I only hope that General Liang will stand up to the Yan army and defend the capital!

The fourth prince and Li Jing prayed silently in their hearts.

As for the current situation in the palace, the two of them didn't dare to think deeply. I just hope that everyone can hold on to it.
