PFC Chapter 428 The New Emperor
Chapter 428 The New Emperor
But what she didn't expect was that Guan Rong changed his past loyalty today and remained where he was.
"Guan Rong, didn't you hear clearly? I said, let Tianyong inherit the throne."
The Queen Mother frowned and spoke again.
Guan Rong has 10,000 capital guards in his hands. As long as he nods, it is useless no matter how much the others say.
But Guan Rong took a deep breath and saluted:
"I believe that the throne should be inherited to Kang Hong in accordance with the late emperor's will."
Now that Da Qian is in danger, he is a sensible person and will naturally not follow the Queen Mother's nonsense.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she took a deep breath and looked ugly.
If even Kang Hong doesn't support her, then her words will have no weight.
"Mother, the country is facing a crisis. I will definitely repel the invading enemies."
"Queen Mother, I want to be the emperor."
Kang Tian on the side was pleading hard. He never imagined that his father would pass the throne to someone else before he died.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother softened her heart and said:
"Kang Hong, be obedient. When your father died, it was your brother Kang Qi who identified him. Logically speaking, the throne now should belong to Kang Qi."
Many ministers were confronting her, and they would definitely not be able to persuade her. In this case, she could only try to persuade Kang Hong.
All the eyes present were focused on Kang Hong. Now that the Queen Mother was speaking, they didn't dare to interrupt. They could only look at Kang Hong's own choice.
When Kang Hong heard this, there was no hesitation on his face anymore, and he spoke resolutely:
"Mom, for Da Gan, I must take this throne. If Da Gan is lost while I am alive, then I will truly be sorry to my father."
Giving the throne to Kang Tianqi at this time would mean pushing Da Gan into the pit of fire.
"We will follow the late emperor's will and do our best to assist the Sixth Prince in inheriting the throne. Starting tomorrow, the grand ceremony for Emperor Daqian's enthronement will begin."
Guan Rong opened his mouth and settled the matter.
Lin Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, luckily nothing went wrong.
The matter was considered to have come to an end. Lin Xiaofan had not slept for nearly two days and his mind was dizzy. Under Kang Hong's arrangement, he took a nap in the palace.
When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high. Thinking of the rebels outside, he rushed to the city wall immediately.
A battle has begun here. Kang Hong stood on the tower, overlooking the overall situation.
After he became emperor, the first thing he did was come here to encourage his momentum.
At the end of the day, maybe too many people died in the last battle, maybe the rebels also realized that they couldn't attack, and this attack was much weaker than the last time.
Several generals commanded the city walls in their charge in an orderly manner, and the corpses of the rebels fell to the ground one by one.
The siege continued until dusk. After five hours, not even one of the rebels climbed onto the city wall.
The sun was about to set, and the rebels were fading away like the tide.
In this way, the situation in the capital can be considered stable.
After eating, many generals gathered together to discuss what to do next.
"Your Majesty, the general recommends a night attack."
"The general seconded the proposal. The rebels' offensive today is much smaller. I guess their morale is low. At this time, a night attack has a high chance of success."
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Territory cannot hold out for long. If the rebels are not eliminated early, by the time they reunite, the capital will be in danger."
Many generals were discussing with each other, and most of them wanted to attack at night.
After all, judging from the rebels' performance today, they are just a ragtag group, and the night attack is highly likely to succeed.
By beating them away, they will be better prepared to deal with the Great Jade Kingdom.
Kang Hong listened carefully to everyone's suggestions, finally looked at Lin Xiaofan and Guan Rong, who had been silent, and asked:
"General, what do you think, Lieutenant Lin?"
Lin Xiaofan and Guan Rong looked at each other. Guan Rong stood up first and said:
"Your Majesty, I feel that a night attack is inappropriate at this time."
Hearing this, many generals frowned and listened.
"The capital city has tall walls and complete defense measures. As long as we defend, the opponent will have no way to defeat us. But if we launch a night attack, it will be equivalent to giving up our greatest advantage and entering the opponent's territory to fight."
"If it succeeds, the most you can do is kill some of the opponent's troops. If it fails, you will lose everything."
"The enemy's general, Zhang Feng, may not have much ability, but he is cautious and will not give us a chance to attack at night."
After Guan Rong finished speaking, many generals also nodded after thinking for a moment.
Indeed, the risks of night raids are high. But if we don't fight, the capital will still be lost when Dayu's troops arrive.
It's not that they don't trust General Chen Tian, it's just that with 30,000 people against hundreds of thousands of people, the possibility of winning is too small.
"Liu Taiwei, what do you think?"
After saying this, everyone looked over, with some expectation in their eyes.
Everyone has heard about Lin Xiaofan's achievements. It can be said that it is impossible for any of them to do what Lin Xiaofan did under the same conditions.
Lin Xiaofan stood up and said:
"Generals, I suggest that you guard."
"General Chen Tian is very resourceful and has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He can defend against Young Master Dayu for ten days. And it will take about ten days to get from the east border to the capital."
"In other words, it will take at least twenty days for Dayu Kingdom's troops to reach the capital."
Lin Xiaofan paused and then said:
"And I wrote to General Jianfeng and Jianbai more than ten days ago, asking them to prepare their troops and horses to return to the capital at any time. And the day before yesterday, both of them sent me letters, General Jianfeng's more than 5,000 The troops can arrive in seven days, and General Jianbai’s five thousand cavalry can arrive in three days.”
"When they launch a surprise attack, we will open the city gate wide and capture it in one fell swoop."
Lin Xiaofan said slowly.
"Okay, Captain Lin is indeed the pillar of the country."
Kang Hong slapped the table and stood up.
Everyone was still worried about whether the reinforcements from Qingzhou and Yantian could arrive, but Lin Xiaofan had made preparations more than ten days ago.
It seems that the 40,000 rebels have been defeated.
"Lieutenant Lin, I admire you."
The generals who advocated night attacks also said.
Now that a more certain way to defeat the enemy is in front of us, who is willing to take the risk to attack the camp.
"And in my opinion, starting from tomorrow, this group of rebels should stop attacking."
Lin Xiaofan said.
I believe that the rebel leaders have also seen that the capital city is indestructible, and it is far beyond what they can capture with 40,000 troops.
The next thing they should do is to besiege but not attack, waiting for the arrival of Dayu's reinforcements.
After the general plan was finalized, many generals also dispersed to rest.
"Brother Lin, thanks to you, otherwise Daqian would be in danger."
Kang Hong said with a happy face.
The rebel army that had been giving him a headache for a day had collapsed under Lin Xiaofan's two letters.
The two of them walked outside, and a familiar figure appeared outside the military camp, it was Fengsheng.
