Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

When Zhenbei King Hongxuan heard what Jinyiwei leader Zhou Changzhi said, he was stunned. He now had a very bad premonition.

Zhou Changzhi said respectfully:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the situation in the southern border has taken a sharp turn for the worse. General Zhaowu De Nianzhi has been poisoned by the rebels and bandits, and there is no cure."

“After General De’s life and death, the rebel leader Li Haicheng captured and controlled the eldest prince Hong Li!”

When Zhenbei King Hongli heard this, his elder brother Hongli was captured by the rebel leader.

The ability of King Hongli of Southern Xinjiang is really too weak!

This was Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan’s first reaction.

When Hongxuan was about to ask a question, he heard Jinyiwei leader Zhou Changzhi continue:

"The captured Crown Prince Hongli proclaimed himself the Emperor of Yunzhou! The Yunzhou rebels gathered 400,000 soldiers and prepared to attack the capital of Dafeng Kingdom."

"King Zhenbei, the rebels in Southern Xinjiang have become powerful now. They have established the eldest prince Hongli as a puppet emperor and are determined to overthrow the imperial power of Dafeng Kingdom!"

"Now the rebels are constantly gathering refugees and their power is growing stronger. Years of famine have caused many people to resent the Dafeng Kingdom. The current situation is more serious than imagined."

"The Dafeng Kingdom is in danger!"

Hongxuan frowned.

Unexpectedly, the situation in southern Xinjiang is more serious than he imagined, and judging from these actions and arrangements, there must be an expert among the rebels.

"This person is not simple!"

"I thought my brother Hongli would be in charge of the situation! But I didn't expect that the military and political power would collapse after the death of General De Nianzhi!"

Zhou Changzhi said respectfully:

"Prince of Zhenbei! Not all princes are like the Prince of Zhenbei. When the Great Feng Kingdom was in danger, all the princes, including the Crown Prince, retreated."

"Your Majesty has no choice but to ask this humble servant to travel eight hundred miles to urgently ask the King of Zhenbei to quell the crisis in southern Xinjiang and wipe out the rebel bandits."

The reason why Hongxuan did not agree before was because he had a lot of things to deal with on the northern border.

Moreover, the original plan was to find a way to seize the strategic location of Kangding City in Beishang Kingdom.

Of course he would not interfere in the affairs of southern Xinjiang.

But now I have no choice but to go. I didn't expect the situation in southern Xinjiang to develop to such a serious level.

He remembered the bad idea he had given to Crown Prince Hongze before, which was to let Hongli leave the imperial city and go to southern Xinjiang to become the king of southern Xinjiang. He never thought that the idea he had given to Hongze would now require him to save the situation.

"I understand. I will go to Southern Xinjiang to deal with this matter immediately!"

Zhou Changzhi said respectfully:

"Your Majesty's intention is to ask the King of Zhenbei to abandon Baidi City and let the soldiers from the northern border stay to defend the strategic location of Beijing City!"

"This is the Emperor's Sword bestowed upon the King of Zhenbei by His Majesty. With this Emperor's Sword, I can execute all the civil and military officials first and report later!"

The King of Zhenbei looked at the Jinyiwei leader Zhou Changzhi and said:

"Commander! Go report to my father that the Emperor's Sword does not belong to me. I will not accept it!"

"If I go to Southern Xinjiang and rely on the might of the Emperor's Sword, then the crisis in Southern Xinjiang will be irreversible. If I want to kill someone, I will just kill him! Why would I need the Emperor's Sword to be stained with blood?"

The area of ​​southern Xinjiang is definitely more dangerous now than Hongxuan imagined.

Under the current situation, even the people of Dafeng don't seem to want to stand on the side of Dafeng Kingdom.

After all, all emperors have the surname Hong, whether it is Hong Jing or Hong Li, the royal bloodline inheritance has not changed. Maybe after changing the emperor, the lives of the people like them will be better.

Hong Xuan looked coldly, raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly:

"Haha! What a great trick to use the emperor to control the princes!"

"After we obtain the prince Hongli, we can make him emperor. Then Hongli and my father will be at loggerheads with each other. One of them will have to die. A country cannot have two rulers, and the world cannot have two suns shining at the same time!"

"The person behind this is not simple! He used the smallest cost to make other forces in Dafeng Kingdom dare not attack this group of rebels."

After all, whether it is a civil official or a military general,

If we go directly to Yunzhou in southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebels,

The one who could be crowned emperor was the eldest prince of Dafeng State, Hongli

As orthodox royal bloodlines, these civil and military officials dare not lead troops to attack Yunzhou. If Yunzhou Emperor Hongli was killed, no one would dare to take the responsibility.

Of course, the royal family’s affairs are handled by the royal family themselves.

Jinyiwei Commander Zhou Changzhi said respectfully:

"Then does the King of the North agree with your Majesty's request to withdraw the northern border guards from Baidi Town?"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan sneered:

"Baidi City and the surrounding areas have already made a fortress attack."

"Even if Beishang Kingdom sends more cavalry, they will die. How can I give up the city I have already captured?"

"Even if the king agrees, the soldiers under his command will not agree. It's true that people who have never fought in a war don't feel sorry for the difficulty of acquiring land and cities!"

How could it be possible to ask Zhenbei King Hongxuan to spit out the meat he had eaten and give up Baidi City?

Hongxuan looked at Zhou Changzhi and said:

"Commander, go back and report. I will go to Southern Xinjiang immediately!"

Zhou Changzhi just looked at King Zhenbei and said:

"Your Highness, there are now 400,000 rebels gathering in Yunzhou, Southern Xinjiang! How many troops will Your Highness bring to resolve the crisis in Southern Xinjiang this time?"

If the King of Zhenbei does not give up Baidi City, how many troops should he bring? This question was asked on behalf of Emperor Dingwen, because Zhou Changzhi had to report back.

"The king can only bring 5,000 soldiers, no more!"

Zhenbei King Hong Xuan knew that Zhou Changzhi needed to report back to Emperor Dingwen, so he did not hide it from Zhou Changzhi and told him directly about the troops he wanted to bring.

"This! King Zhenbei, there are 400,000 rebels in Yunzhou!"

Hongxuan didn't want to say more and waved his hand:

"Commander Zhou, just report back to our father. Don't ask any more questions!"

I had not originally planned to go to Yunzhou in southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebels. This was a sudden mission from heaven.

"Yes! I will return to Kyoto immediately to report!"

Zhou Changzhi and his men did not dare to stay and rode back at full speed to report.

His mission on this trip was to send Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan to southern Xinjiang to suppress bandits.

As for how many troops the King of Zhenbei brought, it had nothing to do with him. He had already completed his mission.

Now all you have to do is report back.

After Jinyiwei Commander Zhou Changzhi left,

Hongxuan immediately asked the Qilin Guard to summon the commanders and brigade commanders of the four legions to discuss the matter together in the hall.

After the senior commanders, army commanders and brigade commanders of the four legions had arrived, Hong Xuan looked at the people in the hall and said.

"There's a big turmoil in the southern border of Dafeng State. The King of Southern Border, Hongli, is controlled by the rebels and is being held hostage to become the Emperor of Yunzhou!"

After Hongxuan finished telling the news, the faces of the army commanders and brigade commanders in the hall all changed drastically.

The situation in southern Xinjiang is more serious than they had imagined.

The biggest disaster was that the eldest prince was kidnapped by the rebels and proclaimed emperor.

"This king intends to lead 5,000 men to Southern Xinjiang!"

After saying this, he looked at his subordinates, and finally his gaze fell on Yu Deshen.

"Commander of the Fourth Legion Yu Deshen, and Commander of the First Brigade Jin Falin, your troops will go with me! Of course, I will also bring my personal guards, the Qilin Guards!"

The commander of the First Brigade, Jin Farin, stood up and knelt on one knee:

"I swear to defend the safety of King Zhenbei and kill the rebels in Southern Xinjiang with all my strength!"
