Chapter 345 Draw the knife and reverse
The night wind was bitter, and the soldiers and horses who had arrived from outside the city finally arrived.
Although Su Changyu has the highest level among this cavalry, the real commander at this moment is Mo Cangxing.
The three cavalry of Xiling were mixed into a single soldier and horse, but the team brought by Mo Cangxing was still the majority of the previous Fan cavalry, among the three hundred cavalry, nearly two hundred cavalry were the former Fan cavalry elite soldiers, perhaps in order to take care of the face of Yuwen Chengchao, dozens of former tiger cavalry were transferred, and the rest were wolf cavalry.
After arriving at the Fanhou Mansion, Mo Cangxing did not ask Su Changyu at all, and directly dispatched a part of the troops and horses to guard the other gates of the Fanhou Mansion.
Yuan Shangyu was left in the barracks, but Fat Yu, Ning Zhifeng, Dapeng and other old departments of Yuwen Chengchao all came to the city with Yuwen Chengchao.
When he strode into the gate of the Hou Mansion, the people in the courtyard looked at him with surprised eyes, until he walked into the hall of the Hou Mansion, Su Changyu saw the mess on the table and the terrifying eyes of everyone, and knew that there had indeed been a big change here.
"General Zhonglang!" Seeing Su Changyu enter the door, the first person to speak was not the general, but Pei Shiqing: "You came in time." He raised his hand and pointed at Li Huo: "This person pretended to be the prince, rebelled, and entangled the Fan family to plot rebellion, so he quickly arrested these traitors and escorted them to Kyoto to be handed over to the saint for disposal." ”
Su Changyu didn't look at Pei Shiqing, and when he saw the general sitting on the chair, his originally solemn expression was slightly soothed.
The sudden arrival of the cavalry surprised the guards of the Fan Hou Mansion, but they did not dare to draw their swords easily.
Su Changyu turned over and got off the horse, and glanced back, Mo Cangxing's face was expressionless, but Yuwen Chengchao had a cold expression.
Of course, Su Changyu knew very well in his heart that he had completely lost control over these hundreds of cavalry, and these people would only obey Mo Cangxing's orders, and he would not be able to mobilize them at all.
Su Changyu was simple and neat: "Yuwen Chengchao!" ”
The general bowed slightly, there was no need for Su Changyu to explain too much, as long as there was this name, the general would understand what was happening in the army.
The garrison outside the city was originally composed of the Xiling Three Cavalry, Fan Cai has always been the private army of the Fan family, since the Fan family rebelled, Fan Cai would of course follow Fan Zi Period, and Yuwen Chengchao appeared, and the old Department of Tiger Cavalry would naturally be collected by Yuwen Chengchao, these two groups of people converged, and the garrison outside the city naturally lost control.
He agreed to enter the city for only one purpose, and that was to come to the general, even if he was broken, to protect the general's thoughtfulness.
"General!" Su Changyu took two steps forward and arched his hand.
"What's going on?" The general didn't have any nonsense and asked directly.
Li Huo didn't speak, but Fan Ziqi immediately said: "Yes, this is the bloodline of the first emperor, the prince of the Tang Empire." We ......!"
"Did I let you speak?" Su Changyu squinted at Fan Ziqi, and his voice was cold.
Fan Ziqi was stunned and frowned.
The general sighed.
"This is the middle general." Li Huo nodded to Su Changyu and said with a smile: "We are persuading the general to conspire together, but the general is thinking too much, the situation of the garrison outside the city, Zhonglang will know better than the general, Zhonglang will help us persuade the general?" ”
"You're the prince?" Su Changyu turned his gaze at Li Huo.
Before Su Changyu could speak, he heard the sound of footsteps, and someone walked into the hall, the first person was Mo Cangxing in armor, and it was Yuwen Chengchao who followed Mo Cangxing.
"It looks like the middle general is going to regret it." Mo Cangxing said lightly: "We are entering the city to catch thieves, and we want to arrest Eunuch Pei back into the army, has General Zhonglang forgotten?" ”
Pei Shiqing's face was even more ugly.
"The first emperor didn't have a prince, when did you pop up like this?" Su Changyu said coldly: "
Pretending to be a prince, what should you be guilty of? ”
Li Huo smiled faintly and said, "I know that you are arrogant, but it's a pity that this is not a place for you to be proud of." Su Changyu, I will give you the opportunity to be loyal to me, you don't seem to appreciate it. ”
A lifetime of horse career, so that the general is not angry and arrogant.
Li Huo did not hesitate and said: "The general is obsessed, but he is still unswerving, which really makes me admire." Since the general is unwilling to be loyal to me, he still wants to defend the demon queen, and I am not strong. But you and I both know very well that if I let you leave today, it will be a return to the mountain, and the general will be mighty, and I really don't want to meet you on the battlefield in the future. ”
The general looked up and laughed like thunder: "Then let's see if you can block the way of the general." ”
"We are here to catch the thief, Pei Shiqing is guilty or not, we can't decide, but Fan Ziqi wants to rebel, but he is an out-and-out thief." Su Changyu looked at Mo Cangxing: "Mo Cangxing, if you want to follow Fan Ziqi to rebel, I won't stop you, but if you win the rebel, the court will have a reward." ”
Fan Ziqi said with a smile: "I have always heard that Zhonglang will be silent, and today it seems that he is also sharp-toothed. He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Since we have embarked on the road of restoring Li Tang, we will not look back." All obstacles that stand in the way, we will remove them without mercy. ”
The general got up slowly, like a lion in the forest, his eyes were cold, and his voice was powerful: "Ben will walk out from here now, but I want to see who dares to stop me!" ”
The general said coldly: "Ben will be ordered by the saint to come to Xiling to lead the army to set up defenses, and now there is a mutiny, Ben will not be able to escape the blame, since he should enter Beijing to ask the sage for his guilt, how can he stay in Xiling?" Without further words, he turned around and walked out of the door, Su Changyu followed closely by the general's side to escort, Meng Zimo and other night crows supported each other, and followed behind the general with Yao Mubai and other officials.
Fan Ziqi shook his head, reached out and picked up a wine jug on the table, and slammed it on the ground.
"Choke!"
"The general misunderstood." Li Huo sighed: "Although the general can't be used by me, I can't harm the general because of this." All I want is that I hope that the general can stay in Xiling, and since then, he will no longer set foot in soldiers and horses, and will live in Xiling. I have prepared a manor for the general, food and clothing are worry-free, the general has no marriage, no family, and no one will disturb him when he is alone in the manor in the future. He glanced at Yao Mubai and the others before continuing: "I have also prepared a place for Lord Yao, as long as the two of you agree, we won't have to see each other in blood today." ”
"Oh?" The general smiled: "Are you putting the general under house arrest in Xiling?" ”
"Since you can't let the tiger return to the mountain, I think this is the best arrangement." Li Huo said seriously: "I implore the general to agree, don't let you and me meet each other with swords!" ”
The other guests in the hall were already gone, some sat still, some had shrunk under the table, and some moved against the wall to the door, but the swordsmen of the Hou Mansion didn't care about these people and let them leave.
Seeing this, the other guests also did the same, moved to the door against the wall, and quickly ran out.
The swordsmen of the Hou Mansion didn't move, and the people on the general's side didn't move, but in a moment, all the idle people ran out of the hall, leaving only the swordsmen of the Hou Mansion to surround the general and the others.
The wine jug was smashed, and then the sound of hurried footsteps was heard all around, and soon, countless guards and swordsmen from the Hou Mansion rushed in from all directions, surrounding the entire hall.
Su Changyu had already drawn his knife out of its sheath, and although many of the night crows were poisoned and weak, they all tried their best to pull out their knives, but they wanted to follow the general to bathe in blood
Fighting.
Today, the general wants to let go of the battle, and the night crows naturally have the heart of death.
"Yuwen Chengchao, you shouldn't have been like this." The general looked at Yuwen Chengchao behind Mo Cangxing, and sighed: "Take your people to migrate to the pass, sunrise and sunset, and no longer get involved in these rights and wrongs, whether it is for you or your people, it is all good and harmless, you follow them to make trouble, not only harm yourself, but also harm the Yuwen family, Yuwen old marquis has worked hard, because of your confusion, it has also been in vain." ”
Yuwen Chengchao slowly pulled out his saber and sneered: "You still dare to mention my father?" If you had not sent someone to do harm, how would my father have been killed? What you said is right, my father really wants to protect the Yuwen family, but the court can't tolerate the Yuwen family, if we really enter the customs, we will all become lambs to the slaughter, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to give it a go. ”
The general seems to have intended to do the same, and to this day there will be a bloody battle.
He joined the army at a young age, his body in a hundred battles, and his tenacity in will, as many people can imagine, it is impossible to succumb to Li Tuo today, and he will not be captured, even if blood is splashed here today, it is to fight until the last breath.
Night Raven has followed the general for many years and is extremely loyal to the general.
This is really an abrupt change.
Everyone only thought that Yuwen Chengchao hated the general because of the hatred of killing his father, and he wanted to put the general to death together with the Fan family.
No one thought that his knife would actually slash at Mo Cangxing.
The general shook his head and said, "I thought that your wisdom would be able to figure out the strangeness of this matter, but it's a pity that .....!"
Yao Mubai said loudly in the back: "Eldest son, these people are very rebellious, you must not be in the same league as them." You are a good man who is above board, how can you be used by these traitors? I advise you to know that you are lost, and it is still too late to rein in the precipice. ”
Yuwen Chengchao laughed and said, "Lost? Lord Yao, it should be you who has lost your way. Staring at the general, he said sharply: "The revenge of killing my father, I will take off your head with my own hands today." He raised his arm, raised the big knife, and rushed forward, but only took two steps forward, but the big knife in his hand slashed diagonally, and actually slashed at Mo Cangxing's neck from the side.
Yuwen Chengchao's martial arts are not weak, this knife is even more unexpected, full of strength, everyone has not come back to their senses, the blade has reached the back of Mo Cangxing's head.
Fan Ziqi and Li Tuo also changed color.
After Mo Cangxing came in, he stood with a long body, but his right hand was holding an unsheathed thick sword, this sword only had a sword body and no blade, the blade of the sword was straight, it didn't look like a sharp sword, but like a piece of heavy iron.
Yuwen Chengchao slashed at him, and he was taken by surprise, and Mo Cangxing didn't seem to expect that Yuwen Chengchao would actually stab him.
