From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1101

Gloomy sky, gloomy wind.

The lake surface was surging, with a hint of chill.

Buyanggu tightened his collar and sighed.

He looked at Huang Taiji who was thinking beside him, and his heart was no longer anxious, but there were many uneasy feelings.

He wanted to ask many questions, but Huang Taiji always said "I don't know".

"So, how should we fight this battle?"

Buyanggu still couldn't help asking this question every day. He walked up to Huang Taiji and said bitterly: "The spies from the Shenque sent a letter saying that more than 200,000 troops of the Tsarist Empire attacked Guhewei and occupied Guhewei before dawn. Now they are marching towards Jianzhou."

"If we continue to fight like this, Liaodong will be rotten."

"And those of us who are ready to die are still sitting here watching the show, not knowing where to go."

"Huang Taiji, you have always been a smart man, why don't you know how to fight this time?"

Huang Taiji glanced at him and said: "The situation is very complicated when fighting a large army, and the changes every day are unpredictable. We are few in number and have limited intelligence capabilities. We rely on the Shenque to support us. It is normal that we can't get the news in the first time and can't make judgments."

Buyanggu said: "So we have to wait foolishly like this, and continue Stay and watch the situation become more and more difficult? "

Huang Taiji said lightly: "With enough information, we will naturally be able to make an overall judgment of the situation. I know very well what we have to do."

His tone was very calm, as if he had already guessed everything, and he asked softly: "Buyanggu, do you think Zhou Yuan is a stupid person?"

Buyanggu said in a deep voice: "Of course not stupid, he is a very outstanding commander, otherwise you would not hand over the Jurchens to him."

Huang Taiji said: "So why did he withdraw 100,000 elite troops and expose the entire Liaodong to Gumanyev?"

"Since he is not a stupid person, and such a difficult situation has occurred, there is actually only one reason, that is, he went to do more important things."

"Thinking about it, what else is worth letting Liaodong bear such a big risk? I'm afraid it's only food and grass. "

Huang Taiji raised his head slightly and let the wind blow across his cheeks.

He felt the chill and murmured, "Zhou Yuan should be in Tashanwei now, and he should have taken it. Gumanyev's food supply route should have been cut off."

Buyanggu's face changed, and he glared and said, "This, this seems to make some sense..."

"But since we have reached Tashanwei, it is definitely too late to return for help. Guhewei has been lost again. The next one is Jianzhou, and then Shenzhou."

"Liaodong has been lost. Is the Tsarist Empire still afraid of having no food? Zhou Yuan's strategy may not be good!"

Huang Taiji said, "Liaodong is originally a vast area with few people. It is not difficult to clear the countryside."

"As long as the clearing of the countryside is done thoroughly, then So Gumanyev can only get supplies from Jianzhou, Shenzhou and other places, provided that they conquer them. "

"But is it really that easy to fight? If Zhou Yuan is not sure of holding on, will he make such a decision? "

"Think about it, the truth is simple. "

"Gumanyev is an excellent general, but unfortunately he met a monster. "

Buyanggu said: "Then should we move! To support Jianzhou!"

Huang Taiji thought for a while, and then slowly said: "It's not time for us to take action yet, we have to wait."

Buyanggu said: "Watch Jianzhou fall?"

Huang Taiji said: "Even if we support, Jianzhou Zhou will also fall! More than 200,000 people, their individual combat capabilities are stronger than ours, and their equipment is better than ours. Is the support useful? "

"Let time decide the outcome!"

"When the time comes, we will have more important things to do!"

Buyanggu sighed and said bitterly: "Then... Jianzhou... will be miserable."

Huang Taiji murmured: "Moving the heart and enduring the nature, once increased what they can't do."

...

"Therefore, when God is about to give a great task to a person, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, labor his muscles and bones, starve his body, empty his body, and disturb his actions, so he can move his heart and endure his nature, and once increased what he can't do."

"How many years? Maybe at least twenty years. "

Prince Rong Chen Ke sat in the study and said with emotion: "In the last few years of the late emperor, everyone was busy fighting for the throne, causing bloodshed in Shenjing City. I was only 30 at that time, and I also had ambitions. As a younger brother, why can't that position be mine?"

"Brother Huang is confused. Is there any capable son among his sons?"

"As the crown prince, the eldest son has the ability, brains, and determination, but how can he not be ruthless?"

"The sixth son, Chen De, is talented, patriotic, and the most popular one, but he is not practical and too idealistic. In the end, he will definitely not have a chance."

"The eighth son is just aIdiot, good for nothing except ambition, so he eventually became a puppet of Han Tuo and Cheng Ping. "

"Chen Shou is patient, ruthless, ambitious, and capable. He is the one closest to the throne."

"It's a pity that Guan Miaoshan gave him a chance, but he didn't use it."

"He can only be a king who maintains the status quo at most. In such a complicated and chaotic world, he is useless."

Several sons of Prince Rong and a group of confidants were sitting next to him, but they dared not say anything about this matter.

But Prince Rong didn't care. He just suppressed it for too long. He wanted to say something to vent his emotions.

He said softly: "So they didn't succeed in the end. They were all deceived by Guan Miaoshan."

"The prince saw his father dying, was easily controlled by Guan Miaoshan's beauty, and was eventually poisoned to death by the surname Zhuang."

"Prince Fu was charged with the crime of fratricide, and was so scared that he shrank back to the clan house and didn't dare to fight. ”

“King Jing clearly had a chance, but he cared too much about his reputation and was fooled by Guan Miaoshan, who said that it was unjust to seize power at this moment and that he would be protected if he endured for another year... In the end, Guan Miaoshan went up by herself.”

“That evil concubine has many tricks, and no one can match her. It’s a pity that I was weak and alone back then, so I had to endure it until today.”

He finally opened his hands and shouted, “No need to endure it anymore! The time is finally ripe!”

“At that time, Guan Miaoshan used the imperial guards to launch a coup. Now, can her imperial guards still succeed!”

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone and chuckled, “Everyone, run around and get everything ready in the city. Our people are here.”

Hearing this, the counselor couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Already here? Shenjing is sealed off, and we can’t get any news at all. How did the prince know?”

Prince Rong laughed and said, “Seal off the city? You can seal off my spies, but can you seal off me? ”

“A four-foot wall is a natural barrier for ordinary people, but for a master-level expert like me, it is just like walking on flat ground.”

“Last night, I went out in night clothes, found a hidden corner, easily knocked out a few patrolling Jinyiwei, and crossed the city.”

“You don’t know how exciting it is outside!”

He narrowed his eyes and said, “The Ma family of Xiningwei has rebelled, and the sky in the northwest has collapsed.”

“This news spread to Shenjing City, which is enough to make everything chaotic, right?”

“So, you know what to do?”

“Three days later! August 20th! Launch a coup!”
