Chapter 251: Shaofu ignited a sky-high fire
Those weapons are not military standards, but they are just ordinary items of the people, but the three strong crossbows are somewhat interesting. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is very powerful, but it is not a military thing.
Han Yan pondered in the firelight. What kind of counterattack is not surprising. But isn't it too much to intercept and kill Qincha? Do you dare to go to war with the emperor? Who has such a big dog guts? Han Yan instinctively didn't believe it.
But the royal family has always been tied to this rank, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the north and south battalions are also guarding day and night. Could it be those people, seeing that the emperor is pressing step by step. was beaten by Princess Wuling and couldn't raise her head, so she decided to take a risk.
When I think about it, I feel terrible. The emperor was not in the city of Chang'an, and once someone staged a coup d'Γ©tat, he took control of the crown prince and the empress. took advantage of the fact that there were only more than 3,000 guards in Ganquan Palace. Directly killing Ganquan Palace, I really can't imagine it.
Han Yan was puzzled. Do those people really have that much courage? People's hearts are not enough to swallow the snake. Under the lust for profit, it is not unusual to do any kind of thing. What if they are not satisfied with just making this little bit of black money, but want to do the business of the whole big man?
Han Yan's heart was in turmoil. This time, the emperor didn't expect the situation to be like that, so there were basically no military preparations. So what if there is a coup d'Γ©tat? Go back to the Emperor? Far water can't quench your thirst, the key is to toss back and forth. If the emperor wants to transfer troops, he has to bring the order back to the north and south camps, how much time has it taken to come and go.
Or go straight into the city to find the general? Forehead. Is this good, as the emperor's close attendant, Han Yan instinctively kept a distance from these important ministers of the court, especially the generals with heavy troops.
I remembered what happened to the white wolf last time. Han Yancai felt that Wei Qing at that time was indeed very difficult to do. It's all for the emperor, but in the end it will be suspicious. I didn't expect such a situation to happen to me today.
Jingle ...... A sharp and crisp tapping sounded. Han Yan suddenly became alert: "Where is the water?" β
Si Zhidao: "I don't know, it's better to go up to the city tower to have a look, as usual, we have to strengthen our vigilance." Lower officials? β¦β¦β
Han Yan waved her hand: "You go and get busy with yours." I'll go up and have a look. β
As he spoke, he led his guards and climbed up the city tower with a sigh. They were all strong men, but they didn't sleep for two hours before they fled for their lives in such a thrilling night. It has long been consumed with physical energy. One by one, they climbed up to the city tower with weak feet, and their foreheads were full of sweat.
Han Yan held the city wall in her hand and looked out from the battlements, and there was a place in the city in between, and the flames were soaring into the sky. It's so far away, it seems to be so real. Looking at that place, it seems that it is not far from the palace gate.
Si Zhi climbed up to the city tower and said behind Han Yan: "Don't worry about it, just strengthen your vigilance, where are you going, Doctor, I will send someone to escort you over." β
Han Yan pointed to the place where the flames were soaring into the sky and said, "Where is that, so close to the palace gate?" β
Si Zhi's expression was not a big deal when he looked at the excitement: "It's Shaofu." Hehe, it's okay, Shaofu is the richest, even if it burns it out and rebuilds. Tsk, as soon as the account book is burned, this is a confused account. β
Han Yan only felt a cool breath from head to toe. This Nima is about to turn the sky upside down. Even if he was attacked outside the city, it was not blatant. This is good, the fire is placed at the door of Weiyang Palace. Looking at this scale, at least a third of the Shaofu will be burned, and once it spreads, it is unimaginable. Maybe I can burn down the entire Shaofu.
Han Yan immediately turned around and went down the city tower, and said to Si Zhi behind him, "Open the door, I want to go out." You lend me a hundred, no, two hundred cavalry. β
Si Zhi was stunned for a moment, and he was going out again, what kind of trouble was going to be made in and out: "Doctor, I have a total of only two hundred cavalry under my command." This ......"
Han Yan waved the festival battle in his hand and said: "This official holds the emperor's festival battle, and orders you to fully cooperate, these two hundred cavalry will not be used for other purposes, they will only protect my safety, once they arrive at Ganquan Palace, they will return immediately." Out of the way. β
Seeing that Han Yan had already sacrificed the runes. Where did Si Zhi dare to disagree, he could only arch his hand and say, "Oh." β
and went down to gather the army. I didn't forget to give the minister of the cavalry an order: "This transfer is not very regular, don't remember, only protect the safety of the doctor, don't get involved in anything else." When he arrived at Ganquan Palace, he immediately withdrew. Non-stop, extremely careful. Even if there is an accident. You have to remember that arresting people or anything is far less important than sending the doctor to Ganquan Palace, you know. β
The soldiers below, who had just closed the city gate and were about to rest, were called up again and told them to open the city gate again.
Then the gates of the city were opened. Han Yan, escorted by two hundred cavalry, ran towards Ganquan Palace at a gallop.
Shaofu is in a mess right now. Xue Qing was dressed in a big hat and stood outside the door. The officials of the various subordinate offices and the officials of the Shaofu are salvaging the materials and documents. Pull it out and throw it out at will. So he went in again and grabbed it. A sneer hung on the corner of Xue Qing's mouth, everything that should have been burned had already been burned. The rest doesn't matter.
More and more Han troops came to support from all directions. Stepping forward to put out the fire. But the fire extinguishing methods of this era were too primitive, and they basically relied on fetching water to pour it. Even if the fire truck uses a faucet, it will take half a day to extinguish the fire.
As more and more Han troops were reinforced, the fire was gradually brought under control and no longer spread. It has basically become a situation of ice and fire. Because the part that has been burned, there is no way to do it, and it is all wooden structure. Paint more patent leather. Coupled with the fact that almost all the documents are bamboo slips, and the number is large, it is simply a fire.
The first thing to count is the casualties, preliminary statistics. All the prisoners were burned to death. The innermost of the officials belonging to the Ya Resident faction were almost all dead, almost more than 300 people. The officials and scribes of the Shaofu itself burned seven or eight hundred people, and the rest were the guards brought by Xue Qing, most of whom were filled by the Han army. There are hundreds.
All the results of the investigation, the evidence, were burned. The scene was spectacular.
Xue Qing looked at the fire in front of her. With an expressionless face, he took out a piece of bamboo from his sleeve and handed it to Tianbao. Tianbao's face was heavy. But there was no hesitation. Immediately led the soldiers away with bamboo chips in hand.
Tianbao secretly said in his heart, he was really too tender. is always urging His Highness to do it. I didn't expect His Highness to really make a move, and it was such a devastating trend.
Outside, a carriage came slowly. Huo Quai, whose face was pale, was helped down. Pulling the wound, the bean's sweat rolled down. Xue Qing saw it. Immediately came over to support him, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" (To be continued.) )
