Chapter 712: Seizure of Power and Counterattack (10)
Yan Yi said beside him at this time: "Lord Zuo Xiang means to return the pressure to Zhao Ke and let them know that the situation is not what they want, the troops are coming to the imperial city, disrupting their layout, and with changes, we can find opportunities from it." β
Li Zhong glanced at Yan Yi in some surprise, the latter touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Lord Zuo Xiang, this is just the last general's personal foolish opinion, please don't be surprised if you say something wrong." β
Li Zhong shook his head and chuckled: "I didn't think about it so much, the political aspect is not my strength, but as far as the military is concerned, an army suddenly came from the opposite side of you, although the number is far inferior to your own, but it is not too small and too weak, if you are the commander of the army, what is your first reaction?" β
Li Xun suddenly understood, and said loudly: "Investigation and caution." β
If an army suddenly comes from the opposite side, the number is not too much, but it is not too small, although the number of troops on his side is far exceeded, but as soon as the enemy is discovered, it will immediately attack, but will carefully mobilize the army, send scouts to investigate, and when the details of the other party are clarified, this will choose to fight or not, Li Zhong let Li Xun lead 6,000 soldiers to the imperial city, is ready to use the other party's mind to delay time for himself.
A personal soldier entered the room and brought Li Zhong's armor, this armor looks like it is some years old, this is the ninth year of Guangyuan, Zhao Zhi's forty-fifth birthday, rewarded to Li Zhong, in the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed.
Since the plan had been decided, everyone was not talking, Li Zhong quickly put on his armor, and then led Li Xun and the others to Yang Daolin.
Yang Daolin was here, and the 7,000 soldiers were commanded by Liu Bishen and Zhou Qian, and launched a fierce attack on the forbidden army.
Hu Zhibing's 2,000 soldiers who were sent to guard here earlier were caught off guard in the face of the sudden attack of Liu Bihui and others, and they suffered heavy losses in a short time.
Although Hu Zhibing led two thousand reinforcements to arrive in time to block the other party's onslaught, the situation is still not optimistic, and it is compressed in a group, I am afraid that it will not last long, but Hu Zhibing is very confident, in his opinion, the forbidden troops in other urban areas will arrive soon, and when the time comes, all the situation will immediately reverse.
It's a pity that Hu Zhibing may not be able to see such a situation, because it was not the forbidden army troops in other urban areas who came here first, but Li Zhong.
Li Zhong didn't bring many people, just about 1,500 people, but his arrival was very huge for the entire battle situation and the hearts of all the soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zhong is a myth and an idol for all the generals of the Jin Dynasty, and his arrival has greatly encouraged and improved the morale of Liu Bihui and others, and for Hu Zhibing's side, the blow to his morale is a catastrophic destruction.
"Put down your arms and surrender, the treatment and identity of your forbidden soldiers will not change, and if you resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die."
Li Zhong's words immediately crushed the only remaining soldiers of the forbidden army, and at the last bit of stubborn resistance, many soldiers began to lay down their arms and give up resistance.
"General, let's go."
The soldiers on the left and right pulled Hu Zhibing to Yang Daolin's backyard, preparing to escape over the wall from there.
Hu Zhibing's face turned pale, and he laughed sadly: "A group of fools, don't listen to good advice, an imperial city, it is necessary to use 50,000 people, give me an extra 10,000 troops, how can it end up like this, it's over, it's all over." β
Hu Zhibing persuaded Zhao He several times, with the cooperation of the general of Yulinwei, Sun Wuyang, the imperial city is already unhindered, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in the forbidden army should not go to the imperial city, concentrate all their forces, and completely control the entire Fengjing, this is the best choice, but unfortunately, Zhao He didn't listen, he was worried that after the eldest grandson Wuyang took control of the imperial city, he immediately pushed Zhao Ke, the king of the mountain, to the throne, and when the time came, the situation would be troublesome, Hu Zhibing put forward another suggestion, and imprisoned Li Zhong, Yang Daolin and other nine prime ministers in the political hall, Zhao He was afraid of offending Xiangguo in the political affairs hall, so he could not get their support afterwards, and finally chose to refuse.
Hu Zhibing put forward the final request, except for Yan Yi's 5,000 people and other soldiers who were on patrol duty outside, half of the remaining 40,000 soldiers of the forbidden army were given to An Guoqing, and half were for himself, that is, 20,000 soldiers, so that Hu Zhibing still had enough confidence to control the situation in Fengjing.
For this request, Zhao He agreed.
An Guoqing is inferior to Hu Zhibing in all aspects, but he followed Zhao He much earlier than Hu Zhibing, so Zhao He's trust in An Guoqing is far greater than Hu Zhibing, so after the incident, Zhao He actually handed over the command of the forbidden army to An Guoqing, not Hu Zhibing.
Zhao He agreed to Hu Zhibing, divided the forbidden army into two, and also told An Guoqing, but when it came to actual operation, An Guoqing, who held the command of the forbidden army, only gave Hu Zhibing 10,000 troops, and this 10,000 forbidden army was not the elite of Hu Zhibing's headquarters, and the 10,000 elites of the headquarters that Hu Zhibing single-handedly trained were detained by An Guoqing in his own hands.
In this regard, Hu Zhibing was very angry and dissatisfied, but he had no choice, at the critical moment, he could only focus on the overall situation, and could not start infighting before things were done.
Hu Zhibing and the others arrived in the backyard, and the hundreds of soldiers who stayed here all surrounded them, and they already knew about the outside affairs, and Hu Zhibing now retreated here, indicating that the fight was over.
"General, how to deal with Yang Daolin, whether it is .....?"
The officer guarding Yang Daolin whispered to Hu Zhibing, stretched out his hand and made a motion to wipe his neck, the meaning was obvious.
Hu Zhibing glanced at the brightly lit room, and there were several loyal Yang Daolin's servants standing outside, with sticks in their hands, looking nervously at this side.
Hu Zhibing pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, the key is Li Zhong, Li Zhong is now out of trouble, whether he kills Yang Daolin or not, it doesn't have much effect, stay a line, and see each other in the future." β
Hu Zhibing finally decided to let Yang Daolin go, and at this time, in his heart, he already faintly felt that Zhao He's coup d'Γ©tat might be .......
Hu Zhibing led hundreds of people to break through, Li Zhong did not send people to chase and kill, and there were more important things waiting for him to do.
The siege was lifted, Yang Daolin was helped out of his mansion, and when he saw Li Zhong, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Li Zhong, if you don't come again, the old man will lead people to fight Hu Zhibing to the death." β
Li Zhong said with a smile: "Brother Daolin, when I see that you are fine, I will feel at ease." β
