Chapter 276: Counting Higher

"Gaode, are you trying to rebel? Someone, take down this old guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and kill all these people he brought. Yang Ming saw that something was wrong, and immediately shouted loudly.

The generals who came in with Yang Ming, hearing Yang Ming's words, they didn't hesitate at all, and pulled out their blades together, fighting with these people with golden masks who rushed out.

These generals led by Yang Ming are all veterans who have commanded the army for many years, and their kung fu is certainly good. However, these people with golden masks were obviously specially trained, not only were their moves very ingenious, but their shots were also very ruthless, coupled with the advantage in numbers, Yang Ming's subordinates were quickly at a disadvantage.

"Are you people out there deaf? Why don't you come in quickly and kill all these traitors. Yang Ming saw that the situation was very unfavorable to him, and immediately shouted loudly outside, wanting to greet the guards outside.

"If your people were able to come in, they would have already come in!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the dormitory.

This voice was very small, but when they heard this voice, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of everyone present, and after a long while, everyone reacted and exclaimed in unison: "Your Majesty! ”

The one who made this sound was Emperor Fu, who was still asleep just now, and at this time he had already opened his eyes and sat up from the dragon couch, staring at Yang Ming in front of him with a pair of angry eyes.

At this time, Emperor Fu, although he is a little weak now, does not look delirious at all. The people present were all smart people, and they immediately understood that all these things were a game set up by Emperor Fu.

Seeing Emperor Fu sit up, several generals under Yang Ming panicked suddenly, subconsciously stopped the movements of their hands, and were immediately taken down by these people wearing golden masks on the side.

These people with golden masks were the secret guards that Emperor Fu had secretly trained for many years, and no one knew their true identities except Emperor Fu and Gonggong Gao.

"With your wisdom, if you really hand over the country to you, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be calculated by others and shattered, right?" Fu Huang said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been completely controlled by us." At this time, two heavily armed generals walked in and reported to Emperor Fu.

These two generals, as many people present recognized, were the left and right Jingwuwei generals in the sixteen guards of Xijing City, and they were the supreme leaders of the two teams in charge of Emperor Fuhuang's most trusted Sikong Chengxin.

"Good!" Emperor Fu said with satisfaction, and then he turned his head and asked the crowd: "Second, third, and ninth, how did you do about the things you explained?" ”

Hearing Emperor Fu's question, Yang Xian, Yang Guang, and Yang Yong, the three princes of the king, immediately walked out, and Yang Xian reported to Emperor Fu: "Emperor Qiqi's father, sons, and others have sent the people we can send to the four city gates to ambush according to the instructions of the father, and now we should also cooperate with the guards in the imperial city to control the four city gates!" ”

Listening to Yang Xian's words, Emperor Fu turned his head and looked at Yang Ming, who was still fighting with Gonggong Gao and several secret guards.

"You rebel, do you hear me? This Xijing City has not yet reached the time when you can call the shots, so don't hurry up and arrest it. ”

Listening to Emperor Fu's words, Yang Ming looked around, and at this time, the fight was completely over, and his men had been completely captured by the secret guards.

Seeing that he was about to get the throne, who knew that there would be such a variable, a huge gap, which made Yang Ming unable to adapt for a while. He roared angrily, lost his mind all of a sudden, held the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Emperor Fu.

Although Yang Ming's kung fu is high, but Gao Gonggong's skills are also extraordinary, plus the secret guards in the palace and all the generals present rushed over, and after a while, Yang Ming's long sword fell to the ground and held him down.

"Why? Why? I have made so many military exploits for Dafu, but this throne is not mine. Yang Ming was held down by everyone, and he roared angrily while struggling hard.

"Rebel, it's not up to you to pass on my throne. Not letting you be the emperor is actually for your own good, with your straightforward personality, sooner or later you will die tragically under the calculations of conspirators inside and outside the court, and you will harm my people. Emperor Fu looked at the son in front of him and said with some heartache.

"So, you wanted to get rid of me from the beginning, lest I threaten the heir you ultimately chose." Yang Ming tilted his head hard and shouted unwillingly.

"Actually, my initial consideration was to give you a large army and let you guard a certain city at the border, so that no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, you will not dare to easily move to you who holds the army. Who knows, if this throne is not passed on to you, you will have to snatch it for life, of course, you will only have to pay the price. After saying this, Emperor Fu, who was angry and anxious, coughed violently.

"No, I'm not reconciled, there are still my soldiers and horses in this Xijing, and there are 200,000 troops I brought outside the city, this throne, since you don't give it to me, don't blame me for robbing it myself, whoever wants to stand in my way, I will let him splash three feet of blood." Yang Ming, the victorious king who was held down by everyone, still roared unconvinced.

"Okay, then let's see if the 200,000 troops you brought can subvert this Xijing City?" Looking at Yang Ming, who was still unrepentant, Emperor Fu's face turned pale.

"You each leave quickly, try to block the news, organize your own soldiers and generals for me, cooperate with the guards in my city, first destroy all the forces belonging to this rebel in Xijing City, and then go to the city wall together to defend the city, and see if they can capture my Dafu capital." Emperor Fu commanded loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Fu arranged manpower to find a way to notify the garrisons near Xijing City and quickly bring troops back for reinforcements.

Yang Yun stood in the crowd of princes, silently watching the series of arrangements made by Emperor Fu, and couldn't help but admire the old man's composure and heroic bearing.

Yang Yun secretly contrasted in his heart, among his brothers, none of them had such a strategy and courage as Emperor Fu. He sighed in his heart, and after leaving for Emperor Fu, he was secretly worried.

After the princes and officials who received the order left the palace, they immediately mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized according to Emperor Fu's arrangement and began to clear Yang Ming's forces in the city.

Because Emperor Fu had already made arrangements, he controlled the four gates of Xijing City with lightning speed, and closed the four gates tightly, so that everyone could not enter or leave, so that what happened in the city did not reach Yang Ming's barracks outside the city as quickly as possible.

The garrison outside the city also faintly heard the sound of fighting in the city, and thought that Yang Ming was clearing dissidents in the city. Where would you think that the soldiers of Yang Ming, who had the advantage in the city, were the ones who were being wiped out.

The rest of Yang Ming's troops in the city were not small, but the important leading generals, such as Chen Lisheng, who had just been promoted to the general of the auxiliary state, Li Feng, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and Cao Yuquan, the general of the left prison guard, and even the commander Yang Ming, were all controlled in the palace change.

Yang Ming's department, which did not command the generals, was wiped out a lot before he could react. The few who found out that the situation was not right immediately organized a revolt, but it was too late.

In the end, the vast majority of the soldiers and horses brought into Xijing City by Yang Ming were wiped out by the forces loyal to Emperor Fu in Xijing City, except for a few hidden in the shadows.

By the time some of Yang Ming's subordinates passed the news from the city to the military camp outside the city through some special channels, it was already the second day.

Leading the 200,000 army outside the city was Zheng De, who had just been promoted to the champion general the year before last, and he had a life-and-death friendship with Yang Ming, won Yang Ming's trust, and was also loyal to Yang Ming.

After hearing the news of Yang Ming's arrest, Zheng De did not hesitate, and immediately led the army, surrounded Xijing, and asked the people in the city to release Yang Ming and several generals under him, otherwise they would lead troops to attack the city.

"Father, the city is surrounded by their people, we have to think of a way to do it, if they let them attack the city, we will all suffer." The third prince, Yang Guang, looked at his father lying on the couch, and some of the six gods were ownerless.

"Afraid of what? There are still so many soldiers in our city, and if they dare to come and attack the city, we will fight them to the end. Yang Yong, the Nine Emperor Prince of Qi, said fiercely.

"Otherwise, let's just follow their request and put the fifth brother back for them, didn't they say that they would withdraw immediately when they saw the fifth brother?" The Twelve Princes were the first to Xiang Yang Ming, and although he was not punished, now the brothers looked down on him.

Emperor Fu didn't speak, he specially asked people to call these princes who were crowned kings, just to hear their opinions on this matter. Although he had already decided on the successor in his mind, he still wanted to observe these sons.

Listening to the speeches of the three people in front of him, a trace of disappointment flashed in Emperor Fu's heart, obviously these three princes are not worthy of entrusting Dafu to them.

"Second brother, you haven't spoken yet, tell me what you think?" Emperor Fu tilted his head slightly and looked at Yang Xian, the prime minister who was standing at the front.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that it is obviously impossible for us to hand over the fifth child to them, but there is no need to provoke their anger by force. My idea is that we deliberately negotiate terms with them, delay some time, and wait for our reinforcements to arrive, and then slowly pack them up. Yang Xian said slowly.

"There is some truth in what is said, when we encounter things, we just need to think more, find the key to the problem, and formulate a response plan." Hearing Yang County's answer, a smile appeared on the corner of Fu Huang's mouth, obviously satisfied with his answer.

"Old Thirteen, you haven't spoken yet, tell me what you think!" Emperor Fu suddenly saw Yang Yun standing at the back, raised his head and asked.

Yang Yun didn't think about this matter, but he believed that Emperor Fu must have a solution to the problem, so he decided to hide his thoughts in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne. But now that Emperor Fu asked, he also had to say something.

"Father, I think so, this 200,000 army is also my army, if we go to war with them, whether we win or lose, it will consume our soldiers, wouldn't it be cheaper for the surrounding countries, so we have to find a way to make this battle unfought."

"Then can you tell me what you are going to do if you are to command this battle?" Yang Yun's words made Emperor Fu interested.

Listening to Emperor Fu's words, Yang Yun secretly complained in his heart, it seemed that he wanted to keep a low profile and wanted to stay out of the matter, but he couldn't achieve it, but he didn't want to talk nonsense and make Emperor Fu look down on him.

"Father, I think the 200,000 soldiers outside the city don't want to fight with their own people! If they knew that even if they fought hard to enter Xijing City, they would not get what they wanted, would they still fight a meaningless battle. ”

Listening to Yang Yun's words, Emperor Fu pondered for a while, but didn't say anything.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you go to the city wall first and encourage the soldiers defending the city." After another moment, Emperor Fu raised his head and waved his hand at several people.
