Chapter 314: Out of place
At the same time, the armies of all walks of life gathered outside the county town of Yingnan, and could not attack the fortifications several times, Chang Xun changed his strategy, leaving most of the men and horses to besiege the county, leading Qin Yan and Tang Jian to bypass the county seat, seize Xiaguan County and Pukou County, and completely cut off the back road of the stubborn Japanese people in Yingnan County, and then handed over the coastal area to Qin Yan's 10,000 heavy infantry and Li Yue's 10,000 light cavalry to garrison, to prevent the sea ships and reinforcements from crossing the shore, and then rushed to respond to the city of Nanjun, and continued to encircle but not fight, since the victory is certain, there is no need to pay more casualties, Just wait for the other party's will to collapse, and Kaicheng will throw himself in.

Nanzhou recovered, the expeditionary force led by Wu Hua bid farewell to Chang Xun and others to return to their country, did not encounter any obstacles along the way, successfully arrived at the ancient bell city, took away a part of the grain and grass and returned the ancient bell city to Yang Xing, and returned to Yanhai City through the coastal plain, so far, Dongzhou was completely collected by Yang Xing, and Nanzhou is about to be recovered, the empire will usher in the long-lost peace, but the war is not over, the imperial capital, will stage a battle for the right without gunpowder.
Assessing the war in Dongzhou, recovering the lost land in Nanzhou, Yang Xing's achievements are incomparable, his prestige is unparalleled for a while, and he ascends the throne as the emperor is the will of the people, the trend of the times, so far, the time is finally ripe, it is time to go to Zhongjing, to the power center of the empire, and face the most difficult challenges.
At the beginning of July, Yuan Fang, Chang Xun, Chen Xin, Shi Ping, Qin Zhen, Tang Jian and other cadres returned to Guanglu County after taking the lead, and after some repairs, more than 30,000 people from the Tiger Roar Legion and the Lone Wolf Legion plus Lin Ru and Yuqing's Royal Guards set off from Guanglu County to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou. Along the way, the officials of the places they passed through went out of the city to greet each other, and the people celebrated along the streets, and the momentum was huge and incomparable.
On this day, there was still half a day away from the imperial capital, Yang Xing rode on his horse, and said a little nervously: "Boss, what should I do when I get to the imperial capital?" You're not going to leave me alone, are you? ”
Yuan Fang shrugged: "Haven't we discussed it before, you just need to do it." Yang Xing is still very nervous, unknowable and nervous about the future.
Chang Xun said with a solemn expression: "Be careful, Your Highness, remember, don't talk casually when you get there, think twice about every word you say, and don't be caught." ”
Yang Xing nodded: "Alas, I really don't know what to do there, I think it's good to be in Dongzhou." ”
At this time, Tan Ma Lai reported, the garrison in Zhongzhou did not move, Chang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but also faintly worried, from the current form, at least the prime minister is not at the end of the road, using the armed forces in his hand, this is good news, but also bad news, the good news is because there is no need to meet with fellow swords, the worry is that the prime minister and the queen still do not know the hole cards have not been shown, and their own side, but nothing, from beginning to end just rely on the force in their hands, but these do not play a big role in the political struggle, It can only be regarded as a little bit of bargaining chips, in other words, in the next struggle, Chang Xun and the others can't help much, and the only one they can rely on is Yang Xing himself.
Ten miles away from the imperial capital, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty who have reached a certain level of civil and military affairs gather here, lively but a little indifferent, these people are obviously divided into three groups, the largest group is naturally a part of the people headed by the prime minister, among these people, there are many senior officials at the head of the imperial department, more are some of the real power officials in important positions, on the other hand, are factional officials loyal to the royal family, but both the number and official positions are inferior to the prime minister.
The last group, the smallest number of people, just got together but did not communicate with each other, these people are all officials who have not joined any faction, judging from the official uniforms, the official positions are not very high, and all of them are expressionless, or they are closing the closing to recuperate, or standing with their hands in their hands and looking up at the sky, with a high and proud look, compared with other people's anxious waiting or looking for friends to talk, it seems out of place.
At noon, Yang Xing and his entourage came to the imperial capital ten miles away, Chang Xun ordered the accompanying troops to be stationed, and Yuan Fang and his entourage followed Yang Xing to meet the officials who came to greet him.
Xiaomei, who was sorting out the shape with Xiaomei and them, settled down and rested, Yang Xing came over in person and took Xiaomei with her, Xiaomei was strongly opposed at first, feeling that she was not suitable for such a formal occasion, but she really couldn't resist Yang Xing, so she had to go with her.
Yang Xing and Xiaomei took the lead in the front, Sang Rou and several women on both sides, Yuan Fang and others followed, from a distance, seeing the officials wearing official uniforms and bright clothes on the opposite side, Yang Xing, who was used to military uniforms, felt very uncomfortable. Stopping less than 100 meters away from greeting everyone, Yang Xing sat on the horse and looked at the people opposite him calmly, with no intention of taking a step forward.
Prime Minister Xu Hanwen's eyes narrowed slightly, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, he stalemate for a long time, took the lead towards Yang Xing and his party, bowed slightly from the distance and said, "Weichen Xu Hanwen has seen the Third Highness. The others followed suit.
Chang Xun's face was a little unsightly, Xu Hanwen just bowed slightly, and did not bow down, to put it bluntly, he didn't take Yang Xing seriously, but he was just a little respectful on the surface.
Yang Xing heard that the good-looking old man in front of him was Prime Minister Xu Hanwen, and after gritting his teeth for a while, he almost didn't ask anyone to arrest all these bastards in one pot, but in the end he held back and said coldly: "Okay, if you don't want to salute, don't force it, why bother, you are reluctant, I am also troubled when I look at it." After speaking, he ignored the crowd and urged the horse forward, without stopping at all when he passed by Xu Hanwen and the others, as if they did not exist.
Xu Hanwen forcibly suppressed his anger, and waited for Yang Xing to walk away, then he smiled and said, "It seems that our Third Highness is not as mature as he imagined. Everyone laughed and followed Xu Hanwen back to the imperial capital in a sedan chair or on horseback.
In the land of the imperial capital, the army is not allowed to enter without the imperial order, and the 30,000 forbidden troops brought by Yang Xing are no exception, and they are stationed ten miles away, accompanied by only a thousand female guards and generals selected by Lin Ru and Yuqing.
When Yang Xing and his entourage threw off the officials and came to the east gate of the imperial capital, a group of low-level officials who had been waiting for a long time knelt down and saluted, and the city defense army at the city head and the city gate saluted to welcome the triumph of the three highnesses. Yang Xing grabbed the reins of his horse, was very satisfied with the performance of these people, raised his horsewhip and said loudly: "You are all pillars of the empire, you don't have to be formal, you can all be flat." A group of officials Xie En got up, only to find that the prime minister and his party were not in the team, and suddenly some people began to talk to each other, guessing what was going on.
Yang Xing frowned slightly, and pointed at one of them with a horsewhip: "You, do you have any opinions about His Highness?" He made a wanton uproar in front of His Highness. Yang Xing pointed at the man's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring.
