Chapter III: Mutual Restraint

When Chen Shou came to the outskirts of the city, he saw corpses all over the ground, including Wei Ning and his old horse.

In Yao Baobao's view, mastering the palace means completely mastering the situation. So not even people?

Chen Shou looked around vigilantly, not quite believing that Yao Baobao would let himself go like this.

"Command to go down, watch out for the embankment, and be ready to fight at any time!"

After all, Gao Huan is a descendant of the Pingdong General's Mansion, and he has some law in command, plus Jin Yuwei practices every day, and there is no panic in the hasty deployment of the formation.

Miao De looked at Wei Ning's death, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he closed his eyes and muttered silently with the corners of his mouth.

The sky gradually darkened, Chen Shou helped Miao De up, and said in a deep voice: "Godfather, let's go, it may not be safe here, go to the Taoist temple first." ”

Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out of the woods, and it was the left sentry camp that was waiting for work.

"Take down Chen Shou! The governor rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, and was promoted to the seventh gear of the North Division! ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, this reward is really too against the sky, the people of the Beisi left sentry camp, crazy and killed from the woods.

The people of the Imperial Horse Prison and the Golden Feather Guard had long been in battle, and they entered the battle state in an instant, they were not the right sentry battalion, and their combat effectiveness was not bad.

After the two sides were deadlocked, Dai Yi looked a little nervous, he didn't expect that the right sentry camp he was afraid of would be easily won, and Chen Shou's Jin Yuwei would be so capable of fighting.

However, Jin Yuwei's people are a minority after all, and they will soon fall behind, Dai Yi looked at the battlefield coldly, as long as he gets rid of them and controls the capital, he can make up for the losses.

"All on!"

The men and horses of the left sentry battalion that swept the formation also rushed down, and Chen Shou was in the middle of the battle formation, protected by Jin Yushi.

It was the first time he was in such a battlefield, and it was the absolute center, to his surprise, Chen Shou did not have the slightest flustery and discomfort, but was surprisingly calm, looking at the surrounding battle situation.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a tremor on the ground...

A group of men and horses came out from behind the left sentry camp, they were wearing black or apricot yellow robes, and the shouts of killing reached into the sky.

It was a strange scene, and the Taoist priests charged into battle, not to mention, more presentable than anyone present.

Anyone can tell at a glance that this is a group of natural warriors. The moment they held the knife, they gave birth to a formidable momentum, clearly telling the enemy on the other side: so-and-so, do not be humiliated.

Their joining quickly changed the tide of the battle, and almost instantly, the victory and defeat were reversed.

"Xiliang Dama, dominate the world!" Chen Shou unconsciously said this sentence that everyone in the world knows.

The Xiliang military men in the nearby Taoist temple finally came, although there were only a few hundred people, but they were unstoppable.

Chen Shou's Xiliang military men were scattered in the four Taoist temples, and the closest to this place received the news of Li Bohao, and killed him at the most critical time, saving Chen Shou's life.

Dai Yi fled back to the city in a hurry, and in a short period of time, a third of his left outpost camp was killed.

"Xiao Chen Changshi, are you chasing?"

Chen Shou looked at the towering city wall and shook his head, "Go back to the Taoist Temple first!" ”

They ran out of the door in surprise when they heard the shouts of killing, and were driven home by the public who suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys like cats and dogs, and waited for more than half an hour without any movement, so they took off their clothes and went to sleep on the kang with confidence.

But tonight there were no watchmen, no more drums urging people to get up early to go to court, but there were few officials who could sleep.

Prime Minister Wei Yun's crown and sash and official robe were neat, sitting awe-inspiring in the middle hall of the reception, two golden and red candles behind him were about to burn out, and the dying wick was like an old man in the last years of the wind and candles, flickering and dimming, and could be annihilated in the copper cup full of candles and tears at any time.

After a long time, the closed door sounded a few times, Wei Yunse opened his eyes and shouted, "Who?" ”

"Eun-sang, it's me."

Jiang Chucai pushed the door in, hugged his fists and said, "Enxiang, you haven't slept yet?" ”

Wei Yunse let out a long breath, stood up, and said, "Yao Baobao didn't listen to us and kill Chen Shou, but got rid of the three eunuchs, and then occupied the palace. This eunuch wolf is ambitious, but I'm afraid that I won't be willing to live under you and me. ”

"The forbidden army is in our hands, we are not afraid of him turning the sky!" Jiang Chucai said confidently.

"The Forbidden Army... It's useless. Wei Yunse knew very well that the people who had been forbidden to the army all these years knew that they were staring at the blood of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

100,000 soldiers are almost their free slaves, except for cultivating thousands of hectares of fertile land for the forbidden army family, that is, for them to run business.

More than half of the military salaries of the forbidden army have also been deducted, and the entire Bianliang is prosperous and rich, and the poorest may be this group of forbidden army households.

"The old man made a wrong move, although he knocked down Chen Shou, but he didn't prevent this Yao Baobao."

Jiang Chucai stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Enxiang, don't worry, even if he controls His Majesty the Emperor, but the entire officialdom is run by Enxiang, and it doesn't leak, what can he Yao Baobao do?" ”

Wei Yunse puffed up his chest, regained his former majesty, and coughed, "Early tomorrow morning, let's enter the palace together, and ask Your Majesty to go to court!" ”

---

In the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city, military men wearing Taoist robes patrol back and forth.

There are bright and dark sentinels everywhere, and the people of Xiliang have not been on the battlefield for a hundred years, and they have fought with foreign races in the northwest one after another, and they have long developed their instinct to fight.

In the innermost small hall of the Taoist temple, the lights are dim, and the figures are shaking.

Opposite Chen Shou, it was Li Bohao of the General's Mansion, he heard the great changes in the capital, he was keenly aware that things were not simple, and came here to meet Chen Shou early.

"This time, Yao Baobao is ruthless, and he is a dead hand." Li Bohao didn't have much friendship with the three eunuchs, but his face was a little excited, "It was this eunuch who detained the eldest prince at the beginning, and now it is a godsend." Let's kill it together and kill him to commemorate the son, which is a small revenge. ”

Chen Shou shook his head, how could it be so simple... When these Xiliang people heard about the fight, they were not afraid at all, but they never thought about it carefully, if they led the troops to kill them, they couldn't fight or not, let alone say that they couldn't enter the city gate.

The city gate is in the hands of civil officials, depending on the situation, Yao Baobao did not negotiate with the civil officials, otherwise he would not have let himself go and concentrate on guarding the palace.

In this way, the city gate may be the only hole card for the civil officials, and the three parties hold each other hostage, forming a balance.

Yao Bao guarded the palace, if Wei Yunse ordered to open the city gate, he would be able to kill them all if he went in.

And Yao Bao guards the palace and can coerce the emperor to order his ministers, but he is most afraid that the civil officials will open the door and let in the group of Xiliang soldiers.

Yao Baobao has the palace in his hands, Wei Yunse has the city gate, and Chen Shou has the Xiliang soldiers.

Li Bohao asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Talk, talk to them." Chen Shou almost gritted his teeth and said this.

Miao De is right, he has no foundation, if he rushes into the palace, he will be a sinner through the ages, a live target of the world's heroes, and countless ambitious people will take the opportunity to chase the Central Plains, and then push the blame on their heads, and everyone in the world will be punished.

At present, this deadlock seems to have the advantage, but it is actually very dangerous.
