Chapter 55: Reinforcements 6

Living is that some people are happy and some are sad.

The people, like hamsters who were overly frightened by the old cat, tiptoed through the cracks in the door and looked out into the street.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Picking up his head, he turned around and rushed into the courtyard, and he didn't feel pain when he hit the open door.

"The troubles in the city have been removed, and everything is back to normal......

There were soldiers shouting and shouting repeatedly along the street, so that the people who returned to the house in a panic couldn't help but stand on the spot, and finally stopped? After listening carefully again, I was sure that there was no doubt about it, and I was resentful: Damn, the horrible old man has not slept for many days, and it is all the idle eggs of your grandson who have caused such a big movement!

No one wants to live in a situation where you fight for me, you can't eat or sleep, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, you are shot through by a cold arrow or you are broken into a house and looted, and there is no place to reason!

……

It's suffocating! Being blocked outside the imperial city all day long and scolding, what turtle son suffocates grandson, what is enough for a mother to raise and filter out the grass, it can be said that the endless scolding words grind the ears and eyes out of the cocoon.

How can you not make people rejoice when they get the emperor's order to beat the water dogs?

Rushing out of the imperial city, the soldiers were like vicious dogs unchained, shouting all the way through their throats, venting the stuffy breath that had been blocked in their chests for many days.

Very imposing and majestic!

In the eyes of the people, it is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it is out of control.

"It seems that the soldiers of the rebellious ministers and sinners are still not enough to threaten the Da'an Tai Jiangshan!"

"Hmmm! I think so! ”

“……”

At present, Liu Shangzhi and his nephew naturally couldn't hear the voices of the people talking about it, and they were summoned by the emperor and knelt down in the imperial study.

"General Liu's timely control of the Kyoto disaster can be said to be quite accurate! I am very happy! ”

"......, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit, it's all the work of the saint to strategize and win a thousand miles! Wechen is late to save the car, and I hope the emperor will forgive his sins! ”

The emperor smiled slightly, very satisfied with Liu Shangzhi's evaluation of him, glanced at the three princes standing on the side, and then looked at the two people kneeling in front of the bookcase, "Both your uncle and nephew have merit!" Hurry up and flatten down. ”

What credit do you two have? ran away and beat the scum who was struggling to survive and fled, which is also a skill, and a credit? The three princes, who were full of slander, watched the two of them stand up straight one after another, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in their hearts, and rolled their eyes and looked at the book of the Huangshan Imperial Pen, "Lao Ji is in the woods, and he is determined to be thousands of miles."

I can't figure it out, these two people are obviously subtle, why the emperor would appoint Liu Shangzhi as the commander instead of the second emperor brother to come to Beijing in person. I can't figure out why the emperor gave such a good-looking face to the small work of these two goods.

Could it be that the emperor was frightened by the rebellion?

Still thinking to himself, the emperor's words made his originally depressed mood even worse by seven points.

"If they get away with it, civil strife will be inevitable." The emperor, who squinted his eyes slightly and had a smile on the corner of his mouth, said again: "Fill your army of 500,000 to 300,000 in Kyoto to increase the strength of defense." For the rest of the people, it is time to return to the border after a period of rest. ”

"Obey the will of the Holy Lord, and Weichen will handle it as soon as he returns."

Such a proportion of the number made Liu Shangzhi "chuckle" in his heart, from the day he took over this reinforcement, he saw the clue, 200,000 is his own old subordinate over the years, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

I can't figure out what the emperor's intentions are, but I can see that he cares a lot about the strength of this reinforcement to contain each other.

Liu Shangzhi didn't believe that this was the emperor's arbitrary action, and he didn't believe that his own judgment would be wrong, "Weichen is stupid, may I ask if the emperor has specific requirements for the 300,000 horses left behind?"

"......" After a moment of silence, the emperor chuckled, more like a kind elder in the neighbor's house, "What else does this require?" They are all meritorious soldiers who put down the rebellion in the capital this time, and I ,...... I am glad to have such a group of hot-blooded men to protect me, how can I ask for anything? ”

No requirements, no ideas, just blurt it out straightforwardly!

Make matters worse by attempting a coverup! Thinking about it, after glancing at his nephew, Liu Shangzhi said with a big grin: "That...... Leave all the 300,000 soldiers and horses belonging to His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

"......, it's better to go back and listen to Zhao Shangshu's advice, after all, he is quite familiar with the defense deployment of Kyoto."

"Yes!"

After going around in a circle, he found Zhao Pengfei to prevaricate, Liu Shangzhi knew that the 300,000 soldiers and horses of His Royal Highness the Second Prince stayed in Kyoto, and the emperor was not very satisfied!

Liu Zuochen lowered his head slightly, listened to it word for word, and didn't know what kind of taste it was in his heart, like being stolen by a thief on the street with his beloved silver ticket, and being remembered as the final ruin, and as if he looked around, he couldn't find which one of the thieves was.

…… Outside the city of Kyoto, wolves rush to the chest.

To Prince Jing's surprise, which team came to the rescue? Why did he see that he fled from Kyoto, did not meet the enemy head-on, shouted at himself, picked up small fish and shrimp, put a few knives and poked a few shots, and was stunned like a headless fly.

The situation is pressing, there is no time to think about it, and it is important to escape.

Perhaps, it is the people who have some contacts with him who deliberately release the water.

Thinking like this, he suddenly saw the military flag of "Liu" fluttering in the distance, and couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted loudly: "Break through quickly!" He was completely relieved at this time, and the only thing he was worried about was the soldiers who were chased out of the imperial city.

I don't know where the strength came from, the team led by Wang Xing suddenly ran like a wind blowing on the flat ground, and the idea of escaping made them exert their last bit of strength, and the two-legged run seemed too slow, and they hated that they couldn't give birth to one more leg, so they quickly left the place where this is wrong.

The instinct to survive made Liu Shangzhi's subordinates dumbfounded, which is just like what the detective said, "The rebels are exhausted!" ”

Prince Jing was not so lucky, under Liu Shangzhi's deliberate arrangement, even if he deliberately released the water, he still paid a lot of price, a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses, and the loss of about 100,000 in the battle with Prince Qing in the capital, not including about 50,000 horses killed and wounded in the early siege.

At this time, it was like being intercepted and beaten by water dogs, and there were heavy casualties, and in just a few rounds, nearly 100,000 horses were thrown into the wilderness.

The angry Prince Jing vomited blood, and the hateful Chen Kang clenched his teeth and his eyes were red, but he was helpless, looking at the "Liu" character military flag of Douda, he swore in his heart that he would not share the sky with the people of the Liu family in this life!

Annoyance, resentment! What else can I do then? Have the courage of a defeated army and want to fight against the energetic interception team? That's daydreaming!

In fact, there is still a little luck in my heart, this Liu Jiajun seems to be famous, and there is no discipline at all, if he leads the army or arranges it at this time, his team of people and horses will be killed and injured even more.

Chen Kang thought about it, looking at the direction of Prince Qing's defeat from afar, and the tide of retreat was not too chaotic, and he couldn't help but wake up in his heart, and commanded loudly: "All the troops listen to the order!" Don't fall in love with the battle, quickly hug a group and break through! ”

How can you not be nervous, the intercepted "Liu Jiajun" failed to cause the expected damage to Prince Qing's soldiers and horses, and when he came to his senses to kill, wouldn't it make his own situation even worse? Just thinking about how many people were left made him shudder. Still thinking to himself, he shouted again and again, and in a moment he burst his throat, and a salty smell of blood rushed straight to his mind.

……

It wasn't until night fell that the emperor received the news.

Prince Lao Rong stayed in the mansion and waited for death, stunned that he did not rush out of the capital with the rebels, perhaps because he realized that the general trend had gone, or maybe no one informed him at that time.

Prince Qing and Prince Jing, who defected, were carefully inspected by the sergeants along the way, but their bodies were not found, thinking that they had broken through.

The casualties of the rebel soldiers were not too large, and judging from the clothing and clothing, the difference in casualties between the two groups was even greater.

Listening to Zhao Pengfei's report, Emperor Chen Qing's face gradually turned cold, how could he not know that the water was deliberately released so obviously that a fool would not be able to see the problem. Angrily slammed his fist on the bookcase, ignoring the copywriting on the table where the tea was wet.

Walking a little heavily, he walked to the window and pushed the window sash open with a slight pause.

The candle flame was blown into the house by the cold wind so cold that Suo Suo shivered, trying to straighten his waist and restore the previous fire, several struggles, but in vain!

"Originally, I didn't want to leave the 300,000 military horses in the southwest border pass in Kyoto...... muttered, Chen Qing laughed at himself, "Tomorrow, you go and arrange it!" ”

“…… Uh, yes! ”

A little dazed, Zhao Pengfei promised in a low voice, thinking, what kind of situation is this? Is this army that came to the rescue still tired?

…… Until he left the imperial study, he couldn't think it through, and on the way, he opened the sedan curtain and looked at both sides of the once familiar street, which was completely unbelievable. couldn't help but feel very irritable, and threw down the sedan curtain fiercely and closed his eyes gently.

"But Zhao Shangshu's sedan chair?"

The familiar voice made Zhao Pengfei's head grow for a while, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's not Lao Tzu's sedan chair, who else can it be!?" … Stop! ”

Liu Zuochen's troublesome voice, how could he forget? But I don't want him to follow him back to the mansion, if there is anything, maybe he can talk about it on the road.

"What a coincidence! I just came out of the palace, and I wanted to go to your house to disturb you, but I didn't want to see your old man on the road. ”

Broken! What the hell is this kid thinking, why else would he start to be so polite again? Thinking to himself, Zhao Pengfei opened the sedan curtain and got out, and said in his heart, it's best that you kid don't hold back any bad water in your heart! In today's situation, if one can't handle it, the emperor will inevitably be thunderous.

stood still in the sedan chair, looked at Liu Zuochen's smile on his face, and commanded softly, "You all stand down!" ”

"Yes!"

The sedan chair man, the guards, who didn't recognize Liu Zuochen's evil star, bowed his head and stepped aside, turning his face to look away.
