The mansion of the general Hun Yang of Zuojin Wuwei was close to the Yanxing Gate in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, and when the news of the rebellion came that night, he immediately led more than a dozen family members and more than 30 family members to escort the family members to the Yanxing Gate.

At this time, tens of thousands of people from nearby neighborhoods gathered in front of the Yanxing Gate, but the city gate was closed, and the crowd was boiling, but the captain guarding the city refused to open the city gate, and the people's pleading and crying were to no avail.

Hun Yang was furious, the lance rushed to the city, the captain of the city guard was just about to draw his sword to question, but he pierced the chest with a lance, overturned to the city, Hun Yang killed more than 20 people in a row, he drank the order to put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, the city gate finally opened, tens of thousands of people flocked to escape out of the city, this is the only open city gate in Chang'an City, the people who got the news poured from all directions to Yanxing Gate.

Hun Yang and his family also escaped from the city, he settled his family a little, and then took the children of the family and twenty family members to ride to the Ba Shang, and the 20,000 divine troops on the Ba did not come to the rescue, which made him anxious.

Ran to the barracks on the barracks, but found that all the barracks were empty, and the 20,000 Shence army did not know where to go.

"General, there seems to be an army over there!" Jia Ding pointed to the distance and shouted.

Hun Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him, this army was a divine army, about five or six thousand people, and the general at the head was the general of the right guard.

"Old general, what's going on?"

Hun Xuan was very surprised, Du Isoqiu had already stopped leading troops, how could he still lead an army.

Du Guqiu's face was gloomy like water: "Bai Zhizhen, that bastard, pretended to pass the holy decree and led 20,000 troops out of the customs, and these 5,000 people were the rear army, and I stopped them." ”

"How could the old general be outside the city?"

"It's hard to put into words!"

Du Guqiu shook his head and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”

Hun Yang let out a long sigh, "The 20,000 rebels are wantonly looting the city, I heard that they are specialized in picking up the wealthy nobles, and I don't know how many families will suffer tonight." ”

Dugu Qiu was secretly glad that he had obeyed Guo Song's warning, and the Dugu family had escaped, but there were still dozens of Dugu children left in the city, which made him very worried.

Hun Xuan said again: "Old general, it is better to lead the army into the city and catch the disruptive army off guard." ”

Dugu Qiu immediately shook his head and said, "Do you still think it's just an accidental rebellion?" If I guessed correctly, Zhu Jun has now controlled the army, he has more than 20,000 troops, and the 30,000 Fengxiang army is also controlled by his henchmen, and now it is almost to Chang'an, and our top priority is to find the Son of Heaven first. ”

When the two of them were worried and didn't know where to find the Son of Heaven, several guards rushed over, they recognized Dugu Qiu, and immediately shouted: "Old General Dugu! ”

These people were palace guards, and Du Qiu hurriedly asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has fled to Juxian County, and there is no one to escort him, so I implore the old general to go to the rescue immediately!"

Dugu Qiu was overjoyed, and immediately led 5,000 troops with Hun Yang to rush to Ju County........

The prince Li Yu's family of three was sitting on a big boat on the Wei River at this time, and more than 20 female guards from the Hidden Sword Pavilion were protecting their safety.

"Your Highness, is the location of the fire last night the palace the place where it started?" Crown Princess Cui asked in a low voice.

Li Yu sighed, "It's a bit like a palace, but there is no way to really catch fire, and under the nest, there are eggs." ”

At this time, there were footsteps outside, Li Man walked in, and Li Yu hurriedly asked, "Manager Li, how is the situation in Chang'an?" ”

Li Man shook his head, "The situation is very bad, Zhu Zhu rebelled, the 50,000 army took control of Chang'an, many clans were killed, the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven and the Empress are unknown, and it is very likely that they fell into the hands of Zhu Zhu." ”

Li Yu was shocked, "That.... So what do we do? ”

"My subordinates just met the old master of the Yuan family, his nephew Longwu General Yuan Lingxiang led a 3,000-strong Shence army, the old master of the Yuan family means to leave Guanzhong quickly and go to Taiyuan Mansion to avoid it first, what does His Highness think?"

Li Yu ran out of ideas, and the crown princess hugged her son and said, "Your Highness, it's important to save the child's life first!" ”

Li Man also persuaded: "The Zhu Zhu rebels are powerful, they will inevitably come to pursue His Highness, and the old master of the Yuan family will protect His Highness to go north from Tongzhou, cross the Yellow River in Yanzhou, and after passing Shizhou, they will be able to reach Taiyuan, and it will not be too late to come back after the situation is calm." ”

Li Yu finally nodded, Taiyuan is Li Tang's land of dragon prosperity, and it should be good.

"Is Mr. Li also going to Taiyuan?" Li Yu asked.

Li Man shook his head, "I want to go to Chang'an to see if I can keep the Son of Heaven!" ”

Li Yu was grateful in his heart, and bowed down, "The safety of my father, the emperor and the queen mother, I beg the chief to protect them." ”

A mocking sneer flashed in Li Man's eyes, and at this time, the boat slowly stopped, and there was a guard outside to report, "Pavilion Master, the old master of the Yuan family is here!" ”

"Your Highness, please!"

Li Man invited the crown prince Li Yu out of the cabin, came to the bow deck, and saw a big ship parked in front of him, with a group of soldiers standing at the bow, and the old man at the head was the former general of the left guard, Yuan Xuanhu, and there were 3,000 troops gathered on the north bank, which was the 3,000 Shence army led by Yuan Lingxiang.

Yuan Xuanhu smiled like a thousand-year-old fox, bowed down and saluted: "Old minister Yuan Xuanhu see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

.........

At noon, the situation in Chang'an gradually stabilized, Zhu Zhu collected 15,000 Jin Wuwei and Jiucheng defense soldiers, and ordered his confidant generals to take command, and he immediately ordered martial law on the main roads of the city, strictly prohibiting the people from leaving the fangmen.

In order to appease the people, Zhu Jun picked hundreds of people from the corpses of the slain guards, cut their faces into bloody flesh, put on the helmets of the Jingyuan Army, and ordered the soldiers to carry their heads to various squares to appease the people, and told the whole city: 'The more than 2,000 rebels who plundered the people's property have been beheaded by Captain Zhu by military law, and from today onwards, those who trespass into the people's houses will die!'" ’

This trick worked very well, and for a while, Zhu Jun's prestige was in full swing, and he seemed to have become a great savior for the people and officials in Chang'an.

Zhu Jun ordered the palace to be closed, and the army was stationed in several large military camps in front of the Taiji Palace, and he himself changed the Xingqing Palace into his own Taiwei Mansion and military office, and discussed the next countermeasures with Yuan Xiu and Yao Lingyan.

"That slut Li Man actually handed over the prince to the Yuan family, and I still believe in her so much!"

Zhu Jun was furious in his heart, Li Man swore that he promised himself to give the prince to himself after he was caught, but he didn't expect her to hand it over to the Yuan family as soon as she changed hands.

"Taiwei is angry, it doesn't matter if the prince is or not, there are still a lot of clans, let's just choose another one."

The anger in Zhu Jun's heart calmed down slightly, and he asked again, "What should we do next?" ”

Zhu Jun looked at Yuan Xiu, "The military advisor will talk about it first!" ”

Yuan Xiu offered a plan: "Now that the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are unknown, the Tai Lieutenant's top priority is to block the news, control the army, and then let the wind go around, just say that the Tai Lieutenant has suppressed the military rebellion, Chang'an has restored order, please return to Beijing, maybe the Son of Heaven will be confused and throw himself into the net." ”

Zhu Jun forgot the unhappiness just now for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "This plan is very good!" ”

He turned back and asked the general Ma Ying, "Did Li Yu catch it?" ”

"Back to the Tai Lieutenant, Li Yu has not been found for the time being, but the humble post caught Zhang Guangsheng, the defense envoy of the Nine Cities, and when the humble post wanted to kill him, he cried bitterly and expressed his willingness to serve the Tai Lieutenant."

Zhu Jun was overjoyed, Zhang Guangsheng was a fierce general, but he didn't expect him to be willing to take refuge in himself.

At this time, Yao Lingyan said: "There is also a plan for lowly duties, but the captain can be in charge of Chang'an!" ”

Zhu Jun perked up and said, "Long history, please speak!" ”

Yao Lingyan said unhurriedly: "I know that the imperial court owes the military salaries in Guannei, Longyou, and Hexi for a long time, and the army is resentful, so it is better for the Taiwei to issue military salaries to them in his own name and buy people's hearts, I believe that there will be many troops who will come to serve, and if you master the army, you will control the world." ”

Zhu Jun frowned, "But the two warehouses of Qionglin and Daying have been robbed by soldiers, where do I have the money to distribute military salaries." ”

Yao Lingyan said with a smile: "Weichen went to see the two warehouses of Qionglin and Daying in the morning, and the things that were robbed were basically gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and satin, and the big boxes of copper coins were too heavy, and there were no soldiers to rob them, most of them were still there, and there were many expensive porcelain, jade and bronze ware, and the soldiers did not know the goods, and they were still in the treasury.

Then the captain ordered the three armies to offer treasures, and half of the looted property must be dedicated to the captain, I estimate that they will not give gold and silver treasures, but will offer copper coins that are not easy to carry, so that there are at least tens of millions of yuan, and the military is not solved? ”

Zhu Jun was happy in his heart, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are the lonely prime minister!" ”

Yuan Xiu and Yao Lingyan stopped at the same time, "Taiwei must not be called the emperor, he must coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and when the world is divided and the time is ripe, it is not too late to be called the emperor." ”

Zhu Jun nodded slowly, this is a strategy he has formulated a long time ago, not Dong Zhuo, but Cao Cao.
