Chapter 201 Talking with the King of Northern Frontier
"General! News has arrived from the capital."
Northern Army Camp.
Feiyu walked into the main tent with an excited look on his face.
"General, the eldest son of the Chen family will soon come in person to negotiate peace with the Northern Army under the orders of the Queen Mother."
Several deputy generals in the tent burst into laughter.
Deputy General Hu said, "There are only 50,000 soldiers in the capital right now, including the Jingji Camp and the Yulin Army. I think these people are nothing to be afraid of. It's not surprising that the Queen Mother will initiate the peace talks!"
Mr. Du, who was accompanying the army, pinched his beard and nodded.
"It's because the general is kind and doesn't want to start a war. Otherwise, he would have crossed the moat and entered Shangjing long ago."
It must be said that Mr. Du also felt that their general was indeed lucky.
Although the Yuan Dynasty has experienced some turmoil in the past two years, the accumulation of the previous emperors is still there, and the Yuan Dynasty has not yet reached its end.
In addition to the northern border in the northwest, there are 200,000 troops guarding the grassland defense line in the north to resist the Turks, and there are also 100,000 troops in the northeast.
There are also 50,000 troops in the south to guard the land of Baiyi, and there are also several garrisons in various places.
However, the Northern Army has been advancing eastward from the northwest for more than a month, but the two nearest border troops in the north have not made any movement.
You know, ever since the large-scale defeat of the Northern Barbarians, the northern border has become much more stable.
If the Fu family army guarding the border wanted to go south to protect the emperor, it would not be a problem to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it would only take ten days for the cavalry to reach the capital.
However, neither the Fu family army nor the Northeast Border Army made any movement.
As for the troops in the south, they suffered heavy losses just from suppressing rebellions in various places.
Although the situation in the southern region is relatively stable, the garrisons in various places are not fools. Facing the Northern Army that is actually charging on the battlefield, they are like an egg hitting a rock.
As a result, the Northern Army not only reached Hedong, but also stayed there safely for seven days.
Xiao Yan conveyed his meaning since the first day.
He ordered the Northern Army to be stationed outside the capital, and he led 5,000 elite soldiers into the city. As long as he killed some corrupt officials who abused their power and exploited the people, and entered the palace to confirm the safety of His Majesty, he would return to the northern border.
(Xiao Yan: Fake.)
Let the Northern Army cross the moat and station directly at the city gate, and the King of Northern Frontier will also bring 5,000 elite soldiers into the city.
There was no need to listen to the subsequent conditions. Both the Queen Mother's party and King Ming and others refused without even thinking.
Damn it, even though there are 20,000 Yulin troops in the imperial city, they can't guarantee that 20,000 Yulin troops can defeat 5,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Army!
Also, kill the treacherous ministers.
Who is it?
It didn't say who to kill. What if the King of Northern Frontier goes crazy and kills people?
Therefore, several major forces in Beijing discussed it and unanimously chose to refuse.
But the Northern Army has already reached Hedong. What next after they rejected the King of Northern Frontier?
Then shouldn’t they appease and make up for it?
It would be best if the King of Northern Frontier could withdraw his troops.
The Northern Army was so powerful that it defeated the strongest Shuofang Army in Hedong in less than a day.
Therefore, this tacit understanding is shared by the Queen Mother, the Sixth Prince of Ming Wang and others.
Of course, they did not forget to mobilize troops from the Gyeonggi camp to firmly guard the four city gates.
He also sent someone to the north to deliver a message, ordering the Fu family army to come to rescue the emperor.
Oh, unfortunately, the messenger passed away two hundred miles away from Beijing.
After two days, seeing that the Northern Army was staying in Hedong and seemed to have no intention of crossing the river to enter Beijing, those who went to Beijing suddenly felt that everything was possible!
What if the King of Northern Frontier really just wants to "clear the court" instead of rebelling?
So a group of people started to discuss it.
The people in the northern border have been poor and miserable for so many years. Should we give them money and food?
The King of Northern Frontier has been crowned for many years but has not yet married. The Queen Mother personally bestows him with a princess?
How much money and food should be given, and who should be arranged to marry to become the Princess of Northern Frontier? This again puzzled people.
If they give too much, Prince Ming, the Sixth Prince and others will not accept it.
As a noble family, no one would be willing to marry their daughter to Xiao Yan. Because of his low status, they would not only fail to get married but also create enemies.
Seven days passed during this discussion.
The Northern Army on the opposite side continued to make fires, cook, and train every day as usual.
The training content...includes attacking cities with ladders and crossing rivers with bamboo rafts.
As a result, the more people on this side of the river could sit still, the more restless people in the city opposite became.
Minister Chen said, "We can't wait any longer! We can't gamble on the patience of the King of Northern Frontier."
The Minister of War, Marquis Dingyuan, Duke Zhenguo and others hesitated.
Prince Ming said, "The messenger who went to the north to ask for help has been on the march for seven days. If things go well, we should get a response within three days. Xiao Yan is a traitor and would not dare to openly attack Shangjing City. I think we can wait a little longer!"
The Sixth Prince also said, "Yes, Minister Chen, we must not encourage others and destroy our own prestige!"
"The Jingji Camp and the Yulin Army also have 50,000 men. Could Xiao Yan really be able to break into Shangjing City?"
Minister Chen glanced at the two of them and let out a deep breath.
Their Chen family failed to gain the throne, and even the concubine sent to the palace only gave birth to a princess.
I had just adopted the twelfth prince and was planning to take things slowly, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be seriously ill.
After the death of the third prince born to Concubine Hu, the entire fight for the throne in Beijing became a complete mess.
Originally, he thought that Ming Wang was very good, and even sighed "what a pity" from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that the thundering methods displayed by Ming Wang in recent times were no less than those of the third prince who was at the peak of his power at that time.
Unknowingly, Prince Ming had won over half of the officials in the court, and the Sixth Prince, who had the support of Duke Dingguo, had to avoid his edge.
If His Majesty had not been unconscious, the palace was now under the control of the Queen Mother, and the commander of the capital camp was from their Chen family, he would probably have no say now.
But this idiot, with 50,000 Northern troops just across the river, actually expected the Fu family army thousands of miles away to come to his rescue.
Oh, yes, there are also those 50,000 cowards who are in Beijing.
That's the Northern Army!
One man is worth ten, and ten men in formation can defeat a hundred Northern troops!
The two-meter-tall northern barbarians were powerless against them as they were short of food and clothing at that time. Could the spineless Jingji Camp and the Yulin Army withstand a blow from them?
Who knows, one day, the Northern Army might climb the walls of Shangjing City at night.
When these people had their necks cut at night, all they could say was "you deserve it"!
His eyes fell on Hu Yong, Marquis of Guangping.
"What do you think, my Lord?"
Some of those present were not completely ignorant of the deal between the Third Prince and the Northern Barbarians.
If Xiao Yan really broke in, the Hu family would be the first to bear the brunt.
Oh, right.
There were also the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War who withheld food and wages.
The three people mentioned by Minister Chen said, "Minister Chen is right."
With the support of the Queen Mother, the three ministers and the Hu family of Marquis Guangping, Prince Ming and the Sixth Prince had no choice but to agree to send someone to "talk" with Xiao Yan first.
So the eldest son of the Chen family came to Hedong in person.
But no one expected it.
After the conversation, the Chen family member ordered 50,000 Northern troops to cross the river overnight.
At dawn,
As soon as the princes and ministers opened the door, they all suspected that their eyes were blurry...
