Chapter 1387: The Three Kings Raise Arms [Two in One](2/2)
This shows that his point of view is correct!
On that day, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan responded to the call of King Qing Zhao Hongxin and led more than 50,000 "Northern First Army" to Daliang.
During this period, Zhao Hongxuan wrote a letter in his own handwriting and sent someone to deliver it to Shanyang County and to the hands of his fourth brother, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang.
To be honest, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang was not very willing to participate in the struggle between Prince Hongyu and King Qing Hongxin, but after learning that his eighth brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was under house arrest in Daliang by Prince Hongyu, His Highness the King of Yan could not sit still.
You must know that if Su Wang Zhao Hongrun had not traveled thousands of miles, Zhao Hongjiang would have died in Shanyang County with his beloved wife and concubines. How could he still be alive today?
So, on the one hand, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang deployed the Southern Yan Army to station in the eastern part of Hanoi County to prevent South Korea from taking advantage of the situation. On the other hand, in response to the call of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, he led 30,000 Shanyang troops to attack Daliang.
A few days later, the news reached the ears of Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin.
At this time, King Qing Zhao Hongxin had led the King of Qing's army to approach "Dingtao" in Song County, and was about to enter "Liang County", the capital of the Wei Kingdom. Suddenly, he heard that King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang were in Anyi, Shan
Yang and Yang responded by raising troops, and he was overjoyed when he heard about it.
At this time, he suddenly heard about a major event that shocked the Wei state: when King Su Zhao Hongrun fled from Daliang, he was ambushed and unfortunately hit by an arrow. Unfortunately, he died after returning to Shangshui County.
After hearing the news, King Qing Zhao Hongxin was simply stunned and asked Na Xizuo in disbelief: "Is this true?!"
Na Xizuo replied: "It's absolutely true... After King Su returned to Shangshui County, his royal guards visited famous doctors throughout the city. Two or three days later, the sound of a woman crying could be faintly heard from Prince Su's Mansion in Shangshui County.
, and after that, Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zongwei of King Su, and Shen Yu, the former chief of the Zongwei, gathered tens of thousands of troops, intending to attack Daliang and avenge King Su... This matter, Shangshui County Capital
It’s spread all over.”
Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help laughing.
Although he tried his best to hide the joy in his heart, he couldn't.
"God help me! God help me!"
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely excited.
In his opinion, Prince Hongyu was definitely doomed this time.
Although his king Zhao Hongxin and his eighth son Zhao Hongrun also had a grudge, he would never dare to seriously kill the latter. However, the prince Hongyu was so good that he actually killed Zhao Hongrun - even if it was by the wrong hand, it was overwhelming. The negative impact was enough to overwhelm Prince Hongyu.
Thinking of this, Qing Wang Hongxin was ready to announce this matter to the public in order to increase the "crimes" of Prince Hongyu.
But after a second thought, he changed his mind again.
For no other reason than the fact that "King Su Zhao Run was killed by Prince Hongyu", the stakes were so great that King Qing Zhao Hongxin did not dare to use this excuse to attack Prince Hongyu.
Why?
Because King Su Zhao Hongrun was not only a hero of his Wei State, but also the son-in-law of the Qin State and the brother-in-law of Chu Gongzi Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
If King Qin Hui and Chu Gongzi Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo learned that their son-in-law and brother-in-law died in the internal fighting in Wei, King Qin Hui and Chu Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo might take the opportunity to launch an army to attack Wei.
Of course, when the time comes, the King of Qin and Chu Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo raise an army to attack Wei, not necessarily to avenge their son-in-law and brother-in-law, but more importantly, most likely to gain benefits for the country.
Especially Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, his sister Su Wangfei Mi Jiang has just given birth to son Zhao Wei to Su Wang Zhao Hongrun. Who can guarantee that Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo will not raise an army to help his sister Mi Jiang and her son take the throne, so that he can Just a few months ago, nephew Zhao Wei became the crown prince of Wei?
In this way, the two countries of Wei and Chu will be inseparable. Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, may be able to control the power of Wei and Chu and become the most powerful man in the world.
At that time, no matter whether it is Prince Hongyu or Prince Qing Hongxin, they will be eradicated one by one by Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, and no one will survive.
What's even more terrible is that as long as Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo shouts slogans to support his nephew Zhao Wei, the troops of King Su's line will definitely obey the former's call and assist Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Thinking of this, Qing Wang Hongxin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
He was not willing to provoke the madman Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng. You must know that after his father, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi, provoked Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, the latter retaliated against the Wei State for more than ten years, sending troops to attack and harass the Wei State every year. .
I am afraid that in the entire Wei Kingdom, only Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, the brother-in-law of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, can still live in peace with each other after offending the latter.
But now, without Su Wang Zhao Hongrun suppressing Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, Qing Wang Hongxin is really not sure that he can stabilize the situation.
Because he knew that once the news of his eighth brother's death came, Chu State would definitely try to intervene.
Thinking of this, Qing Wang Hongxin not only did not dare to spread the matter, but also had to help cover up and block the news. At least before he invaded Daliang and replaced Prince Hongyu to control the government, he absolutely did not want Qin or Chu to intervene in this matter. thing.
Of course, there is no problem in writing a letter to tell King Huan Zhao Hongxuan about this.
So, Qing Wang Hongxin wrote a letter that day and sent it to Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan.
When he learned that his brother Zhao Hongrun had been killed while escaping from Daliang, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was so frightened and sweating that he cursed angrily during the march: "I swear to kill Zhao Hongyu!"
Immediately, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan ordered the troops to march urgently.
Although neither King Zhao Hongxin of Qing nor Zhao Hongxuan of Huan nor Zhao Hongjiang of Yan dared to spread the news that "King Su Zhao Hongrun was killed while escaping from Daliang", this matter inevitably spread gradually in the Wei Kingdom.
.
It's no wonder, after all, the identity of "Su Wang Zhao Run" is too special.
Once upon a time, in the mutual denunciation between Prince Hongyu and Qing Wang Hongxin, the people of Wei in China basically stood by Prince Hongyu. After all, in the simple concept of the people of Wei State, Prince Hongyu was their Wei State.
Crown Prince, what this person says is certainly more credible than King Qing Hongxin.
But now, Prince Hongyu killed King Su Zhao Run, which was enough to make most of the people of Wei change their original attitude and all support King Qing Hongxin.
Who is Su Wang Zhao Run? That is the hero of Wei!
He was a hero of Wei who saved Wei from fire and water several times, and defeated powerful neighboring countries such as South Korea and Chu several times, but Prince Hongyu killed this respectable Highness. What does this mean? What does this mean for Prince Hongyu?
Not as wise as the rumors say!
Under this situation, public opinion in the country turned towards Qing Wang Hongxin one after another, so much so that when Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin, Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan, and Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang approached Daliang in three separate ways, the counties they passed almost fell into disgrace.
In mid-February of the 25th year of Hongde's reign, King Qing Zhao Hongxin led the King of Qing's army to approach Daliang first.
During this period, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, got rid of the Wei Wu army of General Shao Hu, successfully caught up with the Qing army, and joined the Qing army in Liang County.
At this time, Prince Hongyu ordered the imperial guards, Yanling army, Shangshui army, Youma army, and the 50,000 Jiejiao cavalry transferred from Sanchuan under the guise of Emperor Wei to station themselves in the Daliang area.
A fierce battle is about to begin.
At the same time, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, who was rumored to be dead, had already sneaked into Liang County with the secrets of the Blue Crows and was paying attention to this battle.
"...I am reporting to Your Highness that the armies of the three kings have approached Daliang, and Daliang has also deployed its troops outside the city..."
Listening to the report from the leader of the Blue Crows, Yawu, Zhao Hongrun frowned in thought.
At the side, the concubine Zhao Que asked in confusion: "Your Highness, won't you step forward to stop it?"
According to her understanding of her husband, her husband really did not want such a large-scale civil war to occur in Wei.
"It's not the time yet."
Zhao Hongrun shook his head and exhaled melancholy.
To be fair, if he had not encountered the assassination from Xiao Ni when he left Daliang, in fact, at this time, he should have tried to contact the Yanling Army, Shang Shui Army, and Youma Army to stop this war as soon as possible.
But the assassination made him change his mind.
Because he realized that this confrontation between Prince Hongyu and Qing Wang Hongxin seemed to be a war between the two princes for the throne, but in fact, I am afraid that neither of these two princes was involved in this battle.
The two real protagonists of the war are probably just pawns.
One of the real chess players is probably Xiao Luan, the leader of the remnants of the Xiao family, and the other party, if Zhao Hongrun guessed correctly, is most likely his father who has been hiding in the Manna Hall pretending to be ill for the past year or so.
, Zhao Yuansi, Emperor of Wei.
Otherwise, everyone is just a pawn on the chessboard.
Precisely because he guessed this, Zhao Hongrun did not dare to act rashly.
He wants to wait for Xiao Luan to reveal his true purpose. I believe his father is also waiting for this.
But if this happens, this war will be inevitable.
As for whether King Qing Hongxin could capture Daliang, Zhao Hongrun could not yet guess.
But one thing is certain, if Qing Wang Hongxin has Xiao Luan's people around him, then Prince Hongyu's army deployment may be in name only.
