Chapter 82: The Battle of the Capital (1)
Shi Miyuan and the others waited for Li Zhixiao, Generalissimo Li, who had returned from victory five miles outside the capital, but what they were waiting for was an urgent report from another spy who was planted beside Li Zhixiao, seeing that the huge army was approaching. Shi Miyuan and other officials had to put down their face and hurried back to the capital accompanied by the cavalry.
A team of hundreds of people, and when they returned to the capital, there were only more than ten people left. Shi Miyuan had to order immediately: "Hurry~!" Inform the Imperial Forest Army to close the four gates of the capital to prevent the thieves from attacking the city. ”
But many officials who narrowly escaped next to him immediately chirped and said: "Xiangye, there are still many officials who have not returned, and please close the city gate less." ”
"Yes, Xiangye, you will close the city gate later, Xue Ji, Yu Tianxi and other adults have not come in yet, they are still behind~!"
Shi Miyuan couldn't control so much now, and immediately said with a cold look in his eyes: "Whoever speaks again and causes the rebels to attack the capital, who is plotting rebellion with the rebels." ”
When Shi Miyuan said this, the officials below didn't dare to say anything. They could only climb the city wall and silently look into the distance, still trying to run back to a few heavyweight officials.
The officials were already running out of breath and were about to reach the city gates. But what awaited them was the merciless creak of the gates shut. Suddenly, they hurried two steps to the city gate and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, who am I~!" Let's go inside. ”
"Hey~~!" An official dressed in rough clothes shouted in a dying voice: "Hurry up and open the gates, let us in." I am Xue Ji, a scholar of Duanming Hall and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, hurry up and open the city gate~~! ”
The general guarding the city on the city tower looked expressionlessly at the officials below who were already sitting on the ground with crooked clothes and hats, and did not say a word. The officials who had already gone up to the city tower next to them could only look at their embarrassment with a wry smile, to no avail.
The officials downstairs shouted for a long time, and no one on the castle tower said a word. Xue Ji, who had already gasped for breath, shook his beard that was about to turn white, and shouted angrily at the city tower: "You useless soldiers, don't you know that I am Xue Ji, a scholar of the Duanming Palace and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials?" Hurry up and open the city gates, if I wait for me to enter the city later, I will play the Ming Shengshang and cut off your head~! ”
"That's it! I am Yu Tianxi, the prefect of Lin'an, you are the general, I order you to open the city gate quickly and let us enter the city. If not, you will not be able to protect the dog's head. The current Lin'an prefect also scolded the street like a splash.
All the officials who were left out saw that the prefect of Lin'an had not called to open the city gate now, and they immediately panicked in their hearts. They all tried to find a way to find someone who they usually knew and interceded with the prime minister, and suddenly the city and the city became a pot of porridge.
Shi Miyuan was also worried about opening the city gate now, but he saw that the huge army of traitors was getting closer and closer to the city. Unable and unwilling to lose his two loyal subordinates, he turned left and right and suddenly thought, so he hurriedly ordered the royal forest army in the city: "Hurry up and put down the basket on the city, and let Lord Xue and Lord Yu come up." ”
"Yes!" The Imperial Forest Army on the city wall immediately began to look for baskets everywhere, and searched for a long time, until the rebels came to three miles outside the capital, and then they found two baskets that were not too big or small.
The officials under the city wall were already highly nervous, and when they saw the baskets coming up from the city wall, they immediately rushed to start scrambling. At first, they still competed with each other, but after a while, they developed into scolding each other. When the rebels were about to see clearly, they began to push and scuffle each other.
Until the rebels set up a position and surrounded the three walls of the capital, these officials no matter how big you are, you won't let me, and I won't let you. At last, a burst of arrows from the rebels broke the rope connecting the baskets, and not a single official who had been locked outside the city entered the city.
Suddenly, all the scuffling officials let go of each other and turned their heads stupidly to look at a group of rebels not far away. At this time, I only heard the generals in this group of rebels speak: "Pass the orders of Generalissimo Li and Hou Ye, and all officials outside the city will automatically come to the barracks to report, otherwise there will be no mercy." After saying this, the general immediately ordered: "Where are the bows and arrows, prepare ~~"
"Slow~! Please slow down, I am willing to report with the general. One of the idle officials in charge of grain automatically replied to the officer not far away.
If there is the first person who dares to eat peaches, the second will appear, and when the second one appears, basically all the people will choose to save their little lives first. At this time, Lord Xue, who had a gray beard, heard the general say that Generalissimo Li was talking about it, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately asked loudly: "May I ask the general, who is Generalissimo Li?" Can you tell us a little bit? ”
"It's too early to tell you, wait until you go to the barracks, and naturally know who Generalissimo Li is." Speaking of this, the general had already looked up at the top of the city tower, and when he quickly lowered his head and glared at the group of officials, he immediately drank: "Since you are willing to come to the barracks, then don't act quickly." ”
Hula, a large group of officials followed the general's team towards the rebel barracks. At this time, Shi Miyuan's eyes on the city wall showed a little vicious light from time to time, but when he turned around, he closed his eyes and didn't see all the actions under the city. The general of the Imperial Forest Army next to him wanted to remind, but he didn't dare to explain Shi Miyuan's actions engraved with it. In this way, the officials on the city walls watched as the captured officials outside the city followed the rebels farther and farther away until they were out of range of their bows and arrows. Only then did Shi Miyuan order: "The archers fired a volley at the defecting officials. ”
"Xiangye, you?" The general of the Royal Forest Army was a little confused and wanted to ask why, but when he saw that Shi Miyuan looked at him and felt a little like killing someone, he immediately closed his mouth and hurriedly went to give the order.
The surrendering officials heard a wind-like sound behind them, and immediately turned their heads to look behind them in unison. When they saw what it was, they immediately wet their clothes in a cold sweat. At this time, the generals who led the way in front felt that these officials were walking slower and slower, and immediately turned around and saw those arrow feathers pierced on the ground, he didn't react much, but just said lightly: "What are you still looking at, isn't it just some arrow feathers." If you still grind and delay the marshal's time, which general will let you eat an arrow. ”
The current officials were not as good as the current management, and these officials suddenly flicked their heads helplessly, and could only follow the general towards the rebel camp that was now two miles away from them.
Rihito was now in the military camp on land, and the affairs on the sea had long been handed over to Lehi. Seeing more than ten officials being escorted into the Chinese army's tent, he looked at Generalissimo Li, who was still pretending to be stupid, with a smile.
Many of these officials are friends with Li Zhixiao on weekdays, and two of them are also Li Zhixiao's party friends in the capital. Now suddenly saw that it was Li Zhixiao sitting at the top of the Chinese army's big tent, and suddenly these officials began to make friends with him. and Shen Zhi, scolding Li Zhixiao, who was pretending to be stupid, and immediately the entire Chinese army tent was like a vegetable market, saying everything.
At this time, Li Zhixiao seemed to have just woken up, and looked at these officials who had been arrested by himself with hazy eyes. Only then did he get up and take two steps to Xue Jie and pretended to apologize: "Oh, why is Lord Xue, I am really offended." He turned his head to look at Yu Tianxi again and said, "Yo! Isn't this Lord Yu of Lin'an Prefect? Why did you get caught too? ”
Xue Ji looked at Li Zhixiao's appearance of pretending to be stupid and stunned, and suddenly became angry, and opened his mouth to scold: "Okay, you Li Zhixiao, you actually arrested us like this, is it true that I, Xue Ji, treat you badly on weekdays?" Now let you be so insulted? ”
Yu Tianci must be just a prefect of Lin'an, he usually nods when he sees Li Zhixiao, but now that he sees Li Zhixiao has come forward, he immediately "poof~!" He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly: "Marshal Li, you can raise your noble hand and spare the lower officials." You know, Xia Guan has an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and children. ”
"Oops! Master Yu, look at you, what's wrong? I didn't say I was going to kill you, get up, get up. Li Zhixiao immediately helped Yu Tianci to get up, and opened his mouth to comfort him.
But Xue Ji next to him was used to it on weekdays, and when he saw Yu Tianci's current cartilage statue, he immediately kicked Yu Tianci's ass and scolded loudly: "Yu Zhifu, you soft bones, get up for me." How can our dignified courtiers of the Heavenly Court bow down to a rebellious man? ”
Li Ren was already extremely disgusted with this famous Xue Ji in the back, and he immediately ordered in the back: "Come on, take this Xue Ji down to me, let him sober up." ”
Just when the guards came to detain Xue Ji, Li Zhixiao was still talking to Yu Tianci about the situation in the capital in the past few days after he left. At this time, Xue Ji next to him was in the hands of the guards, and now he was hysterically shouting the slogan of killing the rebels. On the other hand, the other captured officials thought with their butts when they saw the current situation, and they also knew that there was another person in this big tent who could speak and arrest people. They hurriedly stopped making friends with Li Zhixiao, and they were all carefully thinking about this Da Song and the stranger who knew the stranger in front of them.
At this time, everyone quieted down, and Li Zhixiao let go of Yu Tianci, who was already sweating, and looked at the timid officials around him mockingly and said, "Drink, now you are not noisy?" Noisy, noisy, scolding~! ”
"Master Li, who dares to scold you, I, Li Gu, am the first to stand up and slap him in the mouth." A young official hurriedly patted Li Zhixiao's ass.
Li Zhixiao laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the young official on the shoulder and said, "Okay, very good, now you go to the back and slap Xue Ji fifty mouths for me, no one is allowed to be less, and no one is allowed to be more." ”
How could this young official have thought that Li Zhixiao would give him such an order, and immediately he was ready to sit on the ground with a pale color. Li Zhixiao grabbed him by the collar and handed it to the guard next to him and ordered: "Take him to the back, if he slaps Xue Ji, I will spare his life, if not." Hmph, just cut him down for me. ”
"It's the marshal!" The guards grabbed the young official, who was already full of, and sent him to the camp tent behind.
