Chapter 42: Amnesty
Xingyang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the noise started, Childe Fusu had just fallen down on the bed.
Although Childe Fusu did not have much experience in commanding troops, his awareness of dealing with crises was unusually rich.
Especially at this juncture!
"What's going on?"
Childe Fusu got up from the bed, put on only a cloak wrapped in thick velvet, and walked out.
In the wide hall, Gongzi Fusu had not taken a few steps when the leader of the guards guarding the door had already walked in and said, "Your Highness, there are rebels in the city!" ”
"Rebels? Where's the centaur? ”
"Judging from the outfit, it's a county soldier!"
"Li You?" Gongzi Fusu sighed lightly, how did he unknowingly transfer troops into the city?
The doubts in his heart did not last long, and Gongzi Fusu asked, "Where is Chang Wenjun now?" ”
"Your Excellency has already led people to quell the rebellion, Chang Wenjun asks the prince not to disturb, the defense here is the most stable!"
The leader of the guard said, but the anxious look on his face had betrayed him.
Gongzi Fusu ignored this, he knew that it was useless to ignore these now, and said, "I didn't mean this. The noise in the city came from all directions, and it was obvious that the city's meticulous work was deliberate. Did you send someone to search for it? ”
"Your Highness, we don't have enough people." The leader of the guards bowed his head and said.
"So be it! Quickly adjust the forbidden army outside the city to enter the city to protect the spirit. ”
"Yes!" The leader of the guards, just as he wanted to go out, he was stopped by Fusu, the son behind him.
"Wait!"
"Your Highness!" The leader of the guards turned around.
"You don't have to do this thing yet!" Gongzi Fusu hesitated for a moment, but finally said.
Things are strange, since the county soldiers in Sanchuan are no longer reliable, are the forbidden troops outside the city reliable?
The noise in the city became louder and louder, and the fire in the city was as bright as day.
A cold wind blew from outside the hall, and Gongzi Fusu stood in the hall, feeling the cold touch on his handsome skin, and clenching his fists.
Gongzi Fusu stood in the temple and waited for a full hour. But instead of abating, the noise in the city has intensified.
Chang Wenjun hurriedly walked into the temple under the escort of a group of personal soldiers.
Gongzi Fusu stepped forward, held Chang Wenjun's arm, and asked, "Chang Wenjun, how are you?" ”
At this moment, Chang Wenjun has lost the scarf on his head, his hair is messy, and the armor on his arm has traces of tilting, obviously cut by a sword. The veteran is fine. Chang Wenjun adjusted his breath and said, "Childe, come out of the city with me!" ”
"Has it come to this?" Childe Fusu asked.
"That's right. It seems that they had premeditated and opened a hidden fence early, connecting to Xingyang City from behind Guangwu Mountain. Now only the East Gate is still under our control. ”
"Even if the county soldiers of Sanchuan have an advantage in numbers, how can they be the opponents of Chang Wenjun's personal guards, those forbidden troops?"
"They controlled the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and it was a blessing that the forbidden army did not attack together. Childe, let's go with the veteran, it's too late. ”
Gongzi Fu Su smiled and said, "Xingyang has been lost, where else can I go?" ”
"Go to Chen County. There are still tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the counties who are still loyal to Gongzi, and we still have the strength to fight! ”
"Everyone listens to the order: whoever can capture and support Su alive will be crowned a marquis and rewarded with ten thousand gold."
Outside the hall, the sound of a reward was faintly heard.
"It seems that my fourteenth brother didn't want to kill me, did he?" Gongzi Fusu smiled, not knowing if he was mocking Ying Ziyi or laughing at himself.
Chang Wenjun looked at the depressed Gongzi Fusu, grabbed his hand, and said loudly: "The chasing soldiers have arrived, generals, follow me to kill and escort Gongzi out of the city." ”
"Yes!"
The guards in the palace arched their hands.
…….
Xingyang East Gate.
Chen Ping stood at the head of the city wall and looked at the cavalry of Gongzi Fusu, who had gone away at this moment.
In the dark night, Chen Ping's bewitching face showed a hint of an unpredictable smile.
"My lord, shall we just let them go?"
Beside Chen Ping, the swordsman asked.
Chen Ping smiled and said, "What, you also want to try your luck and see if you can win a marquis?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" The swordsman lowered his head and said, "My subordinates just think that if I let the eldest son leave like this, will it become a threat to His Highness?" ”
"Xingyang is already in our hands, so it means that the first line of defense outside Guanzhong has been arranged. With Xingyang, retreat can defend Chenggao Yique, protect Luoyang, and advance can seek the world. ”
The golden flames ignited out of thin air, and Concubine Yan's figure appeared on the wall.
Chen Ping glanced at Dongjun and asked, "Are the cavalry from Shangdang and other counties here?" ”
"I just got out of Chenggao and arrived at the West Gate. It's just that I don't understand, since I don't plan to pursue Gongzi Fusu and mobilize so many cavalry, what to do? ”
Dongjun stepped forward, and in his field of vision, the figure of the distant cavalry was already quite blurred, almost blending with the dark night. "The most urgent thing at the moment is to escort the spirit of the Son of Heaven back to Guanzhong. Xingyang is an important town, and it is impossible for the forbidden army in Guanzhong to stay here for a long time. The 5,000 cavalry was used to deter the surrounding counties and prepare for the capture of Yingchuan County in the south. ”
"Gongzi Fusu has already fled at this moment, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't seem to be willing to take on the charge of killing a brother? ”
Concubine Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, and said happily: "Are you kidding me?" If our Highness cares so much about his reputation, the rumors about him in the rivers and lakes will be so unbearable! ”
"It sounds like a joke to me, but that's what Your Highness said."
By this time, the noise in the city had gradually subsided, and the distant fire had dimmed a lot.
Above the city tower, the flow of people was sparse and cold, and only Chen Ping and Dongjun were left.
Chen Ping's eyes were as dark as in the dark night, and he said: "The most important hidden danger of the empire is not the remnants of the six kingdoms in Kanto, but the empire itself. Heavy conscription, frequent garrisons, barren fields, and bandits. The most important thing is that the people in the world are unstable. With the means and prestige of the first emperor, he was able to suppress those who were ready to move. Those people can't and don't dare to oppose it. But now, according to reports, food prices have skyrocketed across the country, and in some places it has reached 1,600 yuan with one stone. ”
"Sixteen hundred?" Concubine Yan was shocked, such a price, I am afraid that it has reached the point where it is easy to eat.
"It will take at least a few years to completely calm the Kanto region. But if the fight continues, the people of the world will only become more and more disappointed in the empire, and thus cheapen the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. His Highness just wants to gain a period of stability to adjust the interior of the empire before going east again. And Gongzi Fusu is the best banner used to suppress the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. ”
Xingyang was chaotic, and the spirit of the Son of Heaven drove into the pass and buried in Lishan.
In September, the crown prince of Qin ascended the throne as emperor in the Weiyang Palace, and granted amnesty to the world. (To be continued.) )
