Chapter 121
Ruyang King Chahan Temur was very depressed. These eight years were the most painful eight years he had ever lived.
It was fine that his precious daughter was forced to stay by the Mingjiao big devil as a maid, but he also suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield.
Think about how powerful the Yuan Dynasty army was back then?
Sweeping across the world, conquering unprecedented territory.
After entering the Central Plains, although the grassland warriors were influenced by the prosperous Central Plains culture and degenerated a lot, they were no longer as brave as before, but the foundation was still there.
He was in charge of the military power and commanded an army of more than one million, and the court was still as stable as Mount Tai.
But the Mingjiao only used three armies, only more than 200,000 people, to defeat his army step by step.
Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, this was originally the supreme secret book of the Western Region Tantric Buddhism, and it was the representative martial arts of the former national teacher of Yuan Meng, King Jinlun.
Now it has become a martial arts practiced by everyone in the Mingjiao army, and it has become a common commodity.
On the contrary, since the death of King Jinlun at the hands of Yang Guo, the secret book has been lost.
The Mingjiao army that practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was simply overwhelming on the battlefield, and was more terrifying than the Mongolian army at its peak.
Although he had gathered 200,000 troops to defend the capital city at this moment, he knew that this was just a strong hold and could not last too long.
He received news that the leader of the Mingjiao Yue Zhuoqun had arrived outside the city, and tomorrow might be the final battle.
Only if the court was united and fought to the death, perhaps they could hold on for a longer time.
But the current court could not even be united.
Because of the continuous defeats on the battlefield in the past eight years, many people in the court questioned him, and some even hinted that he had two hearts and gave his daughter to Yue Zhuoqun, colluding with insiders and outsiders to subvert the court.
Among them, the seventh prince Antu Temur was the worst, and he reported to the emperor several times to seize his military power.
In the court today, the Seventh Prince was still accusing him without reason.
He was clearly loyal, but he could not defend himself.
"Father, we should plan a way out early."
Wang Baobao said angrily: "There is no place for our family in the court now. Even if we can defend the capital, we will be liquidated by the Seventh Prince and his party afterwards."
"Way out? Where is there a way out!" King Ruyang felt bitter.
"How could there not be?
Half of the 200,000 troops defending the city are our direct descendants.
Since the court does not trust us, why should we die for them? It is better to lead the army to fight out of Dadu and return to the grassland.
Wouldn't it be more fun to live freely in the future than to live under the whims of others!"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's betrayal of the court!"
Prince Ruyang's face sank: "Besides, with the strength of the Mingjiao army, even if we return to the grassland, it will be a thing of the past, and it will be difficult to survive this winter."
"Then do we have to defend the capital to the death?"
Prince Ruyang was silent. Who would be willing to defend it to the death?
He had advised the emperor before to abandon Dadu and lead his troops back to the grassland, but the Seventh Prince accused him of deliberately giving the Central Plains to Yue Zhuoqun, and this suggestion was rejected on the spot.
"Father, brother~" At this time, a voice sounded from outside.
Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao were shocked, with surprise on their faces. They immediately stood up and said, "Minmin, is that you?"
The door was pushed open, and Zhao Min walked in with red eyes: "It's me!"
Prince Ruyang stepped forward quickly, grabbed Zhao Min's hands, and said with a kind look and a choked voice, "My baby daughter has grown up so much, good, good!"
Eight years have passed. Zhao Min was only fourteen years old when she was captured, and now she is twenty-two.
Her appearance is getting brighter and brighter, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a beauty that can overwhelm the country and shame the moon.
It's just that the young girl at the beginning has now become a mature and charming woman.
As a person who has experienced it, how can Prince Ruyang not understand the reason for this change?
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her heart, and asked in a deep voice: "You are back, where is Yue Zhuoqun, is he also outside?"
"No, I entered the city alone."
"Will he let you back?"
"He let me back to persuade my father to surrender."
Zhao Min smiled complicatedly, and said: "Brother, you have seen Yue Zhuoqun's strength. The twenty-four monks can stop Chang Yuchun and others, but they can never stop his sword.
The high city and strong gate of Dadu are just a piece of thin paper in front of him."
Wang Baobao's pupils shrank, and he remembered the scene on the top of Guangmingding, and his body couldn't help trembling.
"Father, brother, the court is finished, you don't have to fight unnecessarily, open the gate and surrender.
Yue Zhuoqun promised me that as long as my father is willing to open the city before he takes action, he will still give you important positions in the future."
Wang Baobao's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way out.
Once Yue Zhuoqun conquers Dadu, he will definitely establish a new dynasty. His sister may become the queen, or at least the imperial concubine.
Then his father will be the father-in-law of the emperor, and heHe is the uncle of the emperor, and his status is higher than that of the King of Ruyang.
He looked at the King of Ruyang expectantly: "Father?"
The King of Ruyang's eyes were gloomy, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
"Hua La La~"
Just then, a noisy voice came from outside: "Surround the mansion for me, and don't let anyone out."
Then a middle-aged man in armor and a noble face walked in: "I heard that my niece Minmin is back?"
The hearts of the three Kings of Ruyang sank suddenly, and they said with an ugly face: "Seventh Prince, what do you mean by sending troops to surround my mansion?"
"Minmin finally returned home, of course I have to welcome her grandly." The Seventh Prince's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were extremely gloomy: "I just don't know whether Minmin came back this time to visit relatives or to plan to open the city to surrender to the enemy?"
At the critical moment of the battle between the two armies, the gates of Dadu City were closed, and the news of Zhao Min's entry into the city could not be concealed from those who were interested.
As soon as he heard the news, he immediately led his personal soldiers to surround the mansion of Prince Ruyang.
"Seventh Prince, please don't slander me. As the commander of an army, how could I open the city and surrender to the enemy!" Prince Ruyang said in a deep voice.
Even if he was shaken in his heart, he couldn't admit it in front of the Seventh Prince at this moment.
After all, the whole family is in the mansion. If you dare to show the slightest intention of surrendering to the enemy, the other party will definitely not show mercy.
"Hmph! Do you think I dare to let you continue to be the commander?" The Seventh Prince smiled coldly: "Hand over the military order, and I will take over the military defense in the city."
"You!" Prince Ruyang was immediately furious.
Most of the troops in the city are his direct lineage. How can he tolerate them being taken away like this?
But before he could speak, Zhao Min stopped his action.
"Seventh Prince wants to lead the army to fight against the Ming Cult, why should my father stop him!" She was full of disdain in her heart.
It was already clear that Prince Ruyang was wavering on whether to surrender or not. Now that the Seventh Prince wanted to seize power, it was a good opportunity for him to escape.
The Seventh Prince was just a mediocre person and could not stop the attack of the Mingjiao army.
Wait until the city gate is breached, and then let Prince Ruyang come out to reorganize the remaining troops to surrender, the result will be the same.
In this way, it can also help Prince Ruyang avoid the stigma of a failed defense of the city.
"Hahaha, niece Minmin is still sensible." The Seventh Prince laughed with satisfaction, not knowing what a terrible opponent he would face.
