Chapter 425: Conferring the title of Taiwei
Before Lin Xiaofan could speak, he continued:
"When you asked me to send people to Daliang, I didn't listen to you. As a result, the Qingzhou Army cannot mobilize troops. When you destroyed the Chen family, I still suspected you and sent you to the east. As a result, the Chen family rebelled. It's all my fault."
Da Qianhuang's confession made Lin Xiaofan a little confused.
Looking up, the eyes of Emperor Daqian in front of him were barely opened, revealing a certain clarity that Lin Xiaofan couldn't even see through.
"I wonder if it's still too late to send people to Daliang and Dashang?"
Emperor Daqian asked.
He doesn't know how to fight, but doing so can always increase his chances of winning.
"I'm reporting this to your Majesty, but I don't know."
Now that the matter has come to this, Lin Xiaofan dare not make any hasty conclusions.
"Whether you can or not, you have to give it a try. Just tonight, before the rebels attack, send someone."
Emperor Daqian said.
"No, I'll do it now."
Lin Xiaofan responded immediately.
"Come here, tell me my message. Lin Xiaofan is loyal to the country and has performed extraordinary feats. He is a pillar of the country. In recognition of his achievements, he is named Daqian Taiwei. He can command the soldiers and horses of the world to attack the rebels and punish the invading enemies. "
After saying these words, even Lin Xiaofan was stunned.
Taiwei, this is the most senior official, and in Daqian, Taiwei has great real power, commanding the world's troops and horses, being the highest military officer in the central government, and also the head of the world's military attachés.
Although he has made a lot of achievements, his official promotion was too fast. From a small county magistrate two months ago to a Taiwei now.
"I accept your order."
Lin Xiaofan was also unambiguous. At this time, it would be good to have another official position as a lieutenant.
"General Guan Rong, you will do your best to assist the Taiwei."
Emperor Daqian spoke again.
After the words fell, the scene fell into silence.
What Emperor Da Qian meant was that even Guan Rong and the 10,000 iron guards in the capital all obeyed Lin Xiaofan's arrangements.
Emperor Qian was given such great power, wasn't he afraid that Lin Xiaofan would seek power and usurp the throne?
The Queen Mother hesitated to speak and felt something was wrong in her heart.
The queen also had a worried look on her face.
Lin Xiaofan is talented, and if you give him all your strength, you are most likely to defend Daqian, but doing so is too risky, in case the other party seeks power and usurps the throne...
"Let's all go back."
Emperor Daqian waved his hand.
Lin Xiaofan exited the palace, feeling a little unreal in his heart.
This right came a little too suddenly. Overnight, he became the highest military commander in the country.
In the palace, the Queen Mother said with a bit of confusion in her tone:
"Qi'er, why did you do this?"
"Mom, the Zhang family, Chen family, Shen family, and Qing family have betrayed each other one after another. Now almost all the forces in the capital listen to the Zhao family and the Jian family."
Kang Qi spoke, his eyes clearer than ever before.
"These families cannot move. Otherwise, if the Qingzhou Army and the Yantian Army don't come to support us, there will be only 10,000 capital guards left in the entire Dagan to listen to us. By then, the country will surely be destroyed."
"So it's better to give them all the rights and take a gamble to have a chance to hold on."
Emperor Daqian said slowly.
He is now full of regrets, regrets that he did not take some time to deal with government affairs, and regrets that he did not restrain his desires.
After he finished speaking, he coughed violently again. This time, he spit out the medicine he just drank, and then fell into coma.
Lin Xiaofan summoned the generals overnight. Now that the Zhang family and the remnants of the Chen family have left, almost all of these generals and military commanders are his.
He arranged some capable generals in the capital's iron guard, and assigned each manpower and city to defend.
At the same time, catapults began to be built one by one under the command of Li San and others.
According to Lin Xiafan's estimate, it will take about half a month to complete. At that time, it can be used to deal with Dayu's 100,000-strong army.
He summoned all the craftsmen in the capital to build bows and arrows overnight.
At the same time, two fast horses came to the capital, and after revealing their identities, they were released.
Two letters were delivered to Lin Xiaofan.
"Brother Lin, I have mobilized five thousand elite cavalry at the border of Yantian County. If there is a war, we can provide support at any time."
"Brother Lin, the Qingzhou Army has mobilized 5,000 elite infantry and 500 elite cavalry at the border of Qingzhou. They can rush to help within seven days."
The arrival of the two letters made Lin Xiaofan feel a little more at ease.
Jianfeng and Jianbai are ready. They only need to defend the first wave of attacks to put down this group of rebels.
When all this was done, the dawn broke through the darkness. Before Lin Xiaofan and others could rest, a dark army appeared from the horizon.
On the city wall, the iron guards subconsciously clenched their weapons, tensed their bodies, and faced the invading enemy with serious faces.
They hold the most sophisticated weapons in Daqian, wear the hardest armor, and have received training for several years.
At the same time, many of them are children of aristocratic families, or recruits who have not been on the battlefield yet.
The dark army was getting closer and closer. When the distance was about the same, a general guarding the city drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow streaked across the sky and finally landed in front of the rebels' formation.
"Anyone who crosses this arrow will be killed without mercy!"
The roar echoed in the sky.
"Emperor Da Qian is living in debauchery, and the people are living in dire straits. We have followed the destiny and come to conquer, why don't we leave the city and surrender quickly!"
The leading Zhang family general shouted.
"Bah, a bunch of rebellious and shameless people still have the nerve to talk about destiny. If you want to fight, just fight, don't talk so much nonsense."
Although Guan Rong is older, his voice is not low at all.
"Hmph, pedantic. Attack with the whole army!"
Without too much nonsense, the horn of war sounded.
Countless rebels rushed over and ladders were set up on the city wall.
Arrows fell from the city wall, taking away lives one by one.
The battlefield was soon covered with corpses.
A rebel followed the ladder and jumped onto the city wall. Just as he was congratulating himself that he had climbed up first, he was greeted by several spears.
Everyone pushed forward and pushed his body down, knocking down the soldiers attacking the city below.
Another round of arrows was shot from the city, and countless people fell to the ground.
The siege engines came and slammed into the city gate. Due to the special structural design and the surrounding shield protection, no matter whether it is rolling wood, rocks, or bows and arrows, it cannot hurt him at all.
Some oil was thrown from the walls and soaked the ground.
A torch fell into it, and in an instant, the city gate was a sea of fire, and the siege engines were also burned.
The siege continued until evening, before the rebels left like a tide.
There are already corpses everywhere under the capital, but most of them belong to the rebels.
It is not easy to attack a city, especially a city with tall walls like Beijing.
Lin Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head with his hand.
Fortunately, there are many talented generals in the capital, otherwise he would not be able to handle it alone.
