Chapter 967 The Queen Mother is Blocked

"Your Majesty?"

The generals under their command don't understand what's going on. The soldiers outside are waiting now. If they don't go out now, they will easily miss this opportunity. They were not idle just now, and they boosted the morale of their men to the maximum. Now is the best time to attack.

Although the walls of Nanzhao Royal City are not short, they have brought enough siege equipment. The most important thing is that there are more people coming. The number of soldiers in Nanzhao Royal City is not enough. If they want to defend the four royal cities, it will be very difficult. A loophole will appear soon. We can use the loophole to directly enter the city. It is estimated that it will only take a few days. The overall situation on our side has been decided. I wonder why the prince is still hesitating now?

Hearing the voices of his men, King Zhennan finally came to his senses. There was no time for him to hesitate now, especially since his men were all ready. If King Zhennan announced that he would not attack the city, he would probably be very quick. They were about to be abandoned by their subordinates. They followed King Zhennan to rebel. This was already a path of no return.

If King Zhennan chooses to wait, then these people will probably choose a new leader. You asked us to wait because you were worried about your family. Do our family members deserve to die? When His Majesty the King comes to settle accounts, our whole family, young and old, will have no chance of survival.

"Pass this king's order to all the soldiers to march towards the royal city."

Hearing these words from King Zhennan, the generals under his command breathed a sigh of relief. They were all smart people. Naturally, they knew why King Zhennan hesitated just now. What they were most afraid of was that King Zhennan hesitated and rebelled at this time. This kind of thing must be done in one go. If you think about it in the middle, the chance of failure will increase exponentially.

The servant next to him also understood. It is estimated that those who did not escape from the Zhennan Palace will not survive. According to the temperament of His Highness the King, these people will be sent to the city wall soon. If they are thrown down directly, it will not be possible. These people are relatively lucky, at least their death will not be too painful, but if they torture you on the city wall, then you don't know what the torture will be.

The Queen Mother's palace was sealed off at the moment, and not even a bird was allowed to escape. The king placed dozens of archers around, and whenever they found a bird in the sky, these people would shoot it down with bows and arrows.

His Royal Highness the King now also knows that it is time to make a desperate move. Even if he loses face later, he still has to make good use of his chips.

When he learned that King Zhennan ran out, he knew that he didn't have many chips in his hand. There were thirty-five members of King Zhennan's family, old and young. Except for King Zhennan and his eldest son who ran away, the rest All the people fell into the hands of the king. Before, everyone was still relatives. These were nephews and nieces, so they could still take care of their face.

But at this moment, King Zhennan has led troops to surround the capital. If you still take into account the relationship between relatives, then you, the king, are unqualified. For the stability of the entire country, what do these relatives count? They are the sharpest weapons in the hands of His Royal Highness at this moment.

"Bring all the people to the city wall for me, and search for young and middle-aged people during the whole process. Let them wait under the city wall. If anyone dares to do nothing, I will kill him on the spot, including all the nobles."

Knowing that the surrounding armies had slowly surrounded him, His Highness the King also gave up all the illusions in his heart. Now he has a man with insufficient troops, but Nanzhao Royal City is the largest city in Nanzhao, and the young men in the city There are a lot of them. Whether they are dignitaries or traffickers and pawns, their young men must be found at this time. Even if they are to be used as cannon fodder on the city wall, they have to be dragged down.

According to His Highness the King's thoughts, he has already sent a letter to Datang, and the conditions written on it have reached the limit. Li Xiang is an ambitious person, and he has ambitions for the entire Nanzhao Kingdom. , if he wants to expand the power of the Tang Dynasty, then now is an excellent opportunity, but he must persist. If he surrenders now, when Li Xiang hears the news, he will probably This thing won't work.

As long as he persists, then Li Xiang will definitely mobilize troops from Sichuan. Calculating the days will only take half a month. As long as he can persist through this half month, when the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty arrives, No matter how many armies there are in the army, they will probably be defeated by the Tang army.

There is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness's idea. King Zhennan also knows that the Tang Dynasty is not a vegetarian. If there is such a good opportunity, they will definitely participate. What does it mean to marry a princess? In the hearts of these people in power, a princess is not even as important as several counties. Only the territory and the people are the real assets. A woman is nothing in their eyes.

Therefore, King Zhennan must fight quickly. Now one side wants to solve it quickly, and the other side wants to drag this matter out. Whoever can follow their own ideas will win the final victory.

When King Nanzhao came to the city wall, he was stunned by everything in front of him. He did not expect that the people under King Zhennan would move so fast. According to the budget he had made before, at least it was still possible. It took five or six days to assemble. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of troops were already assembled in one night, and these troops all came with siege ladders.

Of course, the army belonging to the king was not afraid. They had known that this day would come for a long time, and there were many things prepared on the city wall. A major purge had just been carried out inside, and about 600 officers and soldiers were detained. At the bottom of the city wall, there were now more than 600 dead bodies.

These people are all close to King Zhennan, and they are also the first people to die in the military confrontation between the two sides. If these people are not killed, who knows what will happen to these people when the war begins. If something happens, they might run over and suddenly open the city gate. At that time, the Zhennan King's cavalry will charge again, and we are still guarding the city.

Therefore, His Royal Highness the King made an immediate decision. No matter what background these people have or their relationship with the royal family, as long as they have a good relationship with King Zhennan, they must be killed first.
