Chapter 698: The Battle of Life and Death (12)

Hu Zengsi had already arranged the breakout, and with a burst of shouting and killing at the gate of the mansion, hundreds of people rushed out of the gate and shouted frantically to kill, creating a false impression of a breakthrough for the other party.

The other party really hit the plan, and mobilized all the soldiers besieging around to the beginning of the gate to prevent Li Xun from breaking through the siege.

A quarter of an hour after the operation on the side of the gate began, the soldiers around were attracted to the direction of the gate, and Li Xun's side immediately began to act, climbing over the wall from the northeast.

In the corner ahead, the battle was fierce, shouting to kill the heavens, but here there was silence, giving people a strange emptiness.

"Lord, where are we going?"

Hu Zengsi asked out loud.

Li Xun has already thought about it, Zhao Ke, the king of Hengshan, led 30,000 forbidden troops to the imperial city, which is now the most dangerous place, there are no soldiers in his hands, and it is useless to go, the most important thing at present is to protect himself first, Fengjing City is now controlled by the forbidden army, and he must not be able to get out of the city, the imperial city cannot go, and the city cannot be out, so he can only choose a safe place in the city, where is this place? Li Xun immediately thought of the Inspectorate, which was the starting place of his official career, many of whom were his old subordinates, and by now, the Inspectorate had expanded to more than 5,000 people, and this kind of strength was enough to protect himself.

At this time, a group of more than 30 forbidden soldiers came from the opposite side, and when they saw Li Xun, they were immediately stunned, and then someone recognized Li Xun and shouted loudly: "This is Li Xun, the cousin of the prince, kill him to get a thousand households." ”

"Go to the Inspectorate, let's go."

The patrol house and Li Xun's residence are east and west, far apart, at least half an hour has passed, and now there are rebels everywhere in the city, this is a huge test, but there is no way, Li Xun can't think of any other place besides the patrol yard to temporarily keep his safety, and now he can only make a desperate bet, and there is no retreat.

As soon as Li Xun's words fell, Jiang Daxiong immediately took a step, holding his weapons in both hands, and strode towards the dozens of forbidden army soldiers in front of him.

Twenty or thirty soldiers of the forbidden army are not worth mentioning, just a moment, they were killed and repulsed, Li Xun and the others did not fight, and ran forward.

Passing by one street and one street after another, the square area is full of forbidden soldiers, they are wandering around, some of the forbidden soldiers saw Li Xun and others, and immediately stepped forward to check and fight, but there are also many forbidden soldiers, for what is happening now, they seem very at a loss, and they do not pay attention to Li Xun and these people, but rush towards the temporary camp of the forbidden army, trying to find out what happened.

Li Xun and others fought all the way, and finally rushed out of the west of the city and entered the city, although the city is not the gathering place of the top family lords, but the vast majority of court officials and smaller family families, as well as many official yamen, are all gathered in the city area, which is the core of Fengjing's power second only to the imperial city.

Hu Zhibing, the general of the Right Xiaowei, led 10,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, divided 3,000 soldiers to the other three urban districts, gathered and contacted the patrol soldiers of the forbidden army scattered in various places, and besieged some major political enemies, including Li Xun, and Hu Zhibing himself led 7,000 soldiers into the urban area.

Zhao Ke's order to Hu Zhibing, the officials who control and monitor the area in the city and some important ministers, at critical moments, can act cheaply and make their own decisions, which means that if someone is disobedient, you can suppress it by force.

After Hu Zhibing led his troops into the central area of the city, he immediately sent soldiers to inform all officials and civilians to stay at home, strictly forbidden to go out, and those who did not obey orders would be killed.

Hu Zhibing's orders can be described as very strict, but there are also people who are not afraid of death, and some honest and resolute officials, despite the obstruction and intimidation of the soldiers, forcibly walked out of their homes.

Li Zhong's mansion was also in the city, and at this time, the outside was heavily guarded, with thousands of soldiers guarding the surroundings, and Hu Zhibing set the temporary command post here.

Forty or fifty officials rushed out of the house, and finally they gathered together, regardless of the obstruction, forcibly rushed to the outside of Li Zhong's mansion, making a loud noise, asking what the forbidden army was doing on the one hand, and clamoring to see Li Zhong on the other.

"General, these people really don't know what to do, I think it's better to kill one or two of them, and see which of them dares to make trouble."

The adjutant general looked at these noisy officials and said with an angry face.

Hu Zhibing glanced at him coldly: "Many of these people are officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, if you kill any person, you will have a mortal enmity with the Imperial Historical Observatory. The Imperial Observatory will still exist, and when the time comes, a group of Imperial Historians will spit wildly at your nose all day long, what good end can you have? ”

Hu Zhibing reminded the deputy general that it was not how good the relationship was with him, but that he didn't want to burden himself because of him.

Hu Zhibing is forty years old this year, although he was born as a military general, he was born in a big family, but his mother's status is too low, because of his concubine, he had no choice but to enter the army and gain fame.

Although Hu Zhibing is a concubine, his status in the family is very low, but after all, he was born in a big family, so he has received a good education since childhood, such a person is not a pure martial artist, has knowledge, and also has a certain political acumen, the Jin Dynasty has lasted so far, it has been more than five hundred years, during which there have been several major events of coups d'Γ©tat to seize the heir, the people involved in it, as long as they are killed, they have not gotten a good end in the end, take history as a mirror, although there is Zhao Ke's order, but Hu Zhibing obviously has his own plans, offending people, Definitely won't do it.

The adjutant general smiled and said: "General, your words are too serious, what is the point of killing a few petty officials?" ”

Hu Zhibing looked at the deputy general coldly, and said in a cold voice: "I am in charge here, my words are military orders, if you don't obey, even if you are An Guoqing's henchman, I will definitely not spare it." ”

The deputy general's body shook slightly, and his face was ugly, but Hu Zhibing was indeed in charge here, if he violated the order, he would kill himself, and there was no way for An Guoqing afterwards.

The adjutant confessed, then stepped aside, not daring to speak.

Hu Zhibing glanced at this person coldly, and his heart was full of disdain.

Hu Zhibing in the forbidden army, whether it is prestige or reputation, is far beyond An Guoqing, his military rank is a general from the third grade, also higher than An Guoqing, in the Chinese army, Hu Zhibing is in charge of 30,000 soldiers, and An Guoqing is only 10,000, in all aspects, Hu Zhibing is much stronger than An Guoqing.

In fact, this attack on the imperial city, this task, was originally handed over to Hu Zhibing to do, but Hu Zhibing strongly refused, and took the initiative to hand over the 30,000 troops in his hands, Zhao Ke saw that Hu Zhibing was resolute, so he did not force it, so Hu Zhibing and An Guoqing exchanged troops.

Hu Zhibing is much smarter than An Guoqing, he knows deeply that the change of imperial power and the palace coup are the most ominous and dangerous things in the world, regardless of success or failure, few can get a good death, An Guoqing was carried away by interests and was desperate, but Hu Zhibing did not, he was still calm.
