Chapter 18 echoes from beginning to end

"Come on, come on, all Aiqing, come and have fun!" Yuan Xiu danced the wine jug, and with the support of Yuan Mingyue and Jia Guiren, he greeted him step by step.

The other three were all seated nearby, only Dugu Ruwish and Yang Ying were still standing respectfully in His Highness.

"Your Majesty, please make a quick decision." Although he knew that it was out of place, Dugu still risked his life to petition as he wished.

"Decide what?" Yuan Xiu was drunk. "It's all now, what else needs me to decide?"

Yang Ying, who was hidden behind Dugu, couldn't stand the emperor's self-abandonment, so he turned his face away.

But unexpectedly saw the legendary plain princess Yuan Mingyue.

The fame is far and wide, and Yang Ying heard about it when he was in Chang'an.

When I saw it today, it was really beautiful.

"Come, come, tell me! What should I do now?! I! Should! What to do?!!! "Yuan Xiu lost control and slammed the wine jug at Dugu's feet." What did I not do? What else can I do? Why don't I give you this chair to sit on? ”

Yuan Xiu pushed left and right, pointed to the high dragon chair, turned in a circle and yelled at everyone present, "Which of you wants to sit?" Go up and sit!! ”

As early as the beginning of the third year of Yongxi, Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu saw Gao Huan's ambition and planned to set up an ambush in the main hall, summoning Gao Huan and his son to the palace to meet him, in an attempt to emulate Er Zhurong's "blood-spattered court" back then, so he repeated the technique to eradicate the Gao family.

It's a pity that the plan was already seen through by the Raven Army Division at a glance.

Of course, Gao Huan is not the second Er Zhurong: not only did he not sit and wait to be killed, but instead subdued the Northern Wei clan Yuanbin, entrenched in Hebei, raised an army of 200,000, and went to Beijing to rebel under the pretext of going to Beijing to rebel, led by the eldest son Gao Cheng and the general Gao Zhongmi, across the Yellow River, approaching Luoyang step by step.

At the moment of the great enemy, the hundred officials of Luoyang were suddenly in chaos. Before the Jinyang army arrived, the officials of the capital had already rushed for their lives, and most of them were gone.

At this time, the commander of the forbidden army, Dugu, got his wish, as the young new head of the Dugu family after the Six Towns Rebellion, he was ordered to resolutely shoulder the defense work inside and outside the entire Beijing Division, and at the same time cooperated with Situ Hu Sichun to send Yuanxin garrison Hangu to form horns with Luoyang.

At this time, Luoyang City had long lost its dignity and grandeur as the imperial capital, and became depressed and dull.

"Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it"......

——

Things developed like this, and Dugu privately entered the palace to offer advice as he wished: "You should ask for help from Guanzhong, there are many heroes and talents in Guanlong, and they must be able to turn the tide!" ”

Yuan Xiu asked rhetorically while walking along the promenade, "What should I do?" ”

Dugu lowered his head as he wished: "Weichen doesn't dare to say ......"

"Forgiveness is not guilty, but it doesn't hurt to say it......"

"In my opinion, there is only one person in the Guanzhong region who is the strongest and has the ability to compete with Prime Minister Gao: Guanzhong Daxing Taihe Bayue. His Majesty should quickly send Yuan Mingyue, the princess of the plains, and Yuan Tribulus, the princess of Heluo, into the customs and make peace with them. After the general, he will send troops to the king. As soon as this person arrives, Gao Cheng and Gao Zhongmi will not be opponents. ”

Yuan Xiu was stunned after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "This matter is important, let's discuss it again...... and then throw down Dugu and go straight to the ......

Dugu stood in the corridor, and it wasn't until Yuan Xiu walked away that he let out a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his sideburns with his sleeve. I thought: It seems that the rumors in the market are true! What can I do now?

——

As early as the second year of Yongxi, that is, more than half a year ago, there was a saying in Luoyang City, which was like a god, as if it were false.

said: The queen's HD is actually a chess piece arranged by Prime Minister Gao Huan next to the emperor, as an eyeliner, specifically to monitor the emperor's every move and return to Jinyang. So the emperor didn't like her at all, but kept living with the "third princess......

Who are the "Three Princesses"?

Emperor Yuan Xiu's three cousins: Yuan Mingyue, the princess of Pingyuan, Yuan Shantao, the princess of Ande, and Yuan Tribulus, the princess of Heluo.

Cousin Yuan Mingyue fell in love with the talented Feng Longzhi after her husband's death and planned to remarry, but Feng Longzhi was squeezed out and framed by another suitor, Sun Teng, and had no choice but to flee to Jinyang and became Gao Huan's staff, and then Yuan Xiu fell in love with her beauty, and sent Sun Teng to Jinyang together, taking her as a mistress and entering the princess.

As soon as he thought of this, Dugu couldn't help but be speechless: Feng Longzhi, who was loyal and generous, and Sun Teng, who was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, went to Jinyang, and was appreciated by Gao Huan, and Sima Ziru and Gao Yue were called "Jinyang Four Nobles".

At this juncture, in order to covet beauty, the Gao clan has strengthened its power?!

Princess Ande Yuan Shantao, the daughter of Qinghe Wang Yuanyi, on the eve of this year, the palace banquet, Qinghe Wang Yuanyi brought the whole family into Beijing, but the daughter was favored by the emperor and was forced to stay in the palace and was crowned the princess.

Yuan Tribulus Terrestris, the younger sister of Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch, was also included in the palace by Yuan Xiu because she was born snow-white and beautiful.

So folk songs arose: "Bright moonlight, incense on the Yao bed, undulating mountain waves on the shadow wall." I don't see thistles all over my body, but I see roses hidden in the snow. The palace was closed to dusk during the day, and the Ming Dynasty did not go to the court. ”

Since then, Yuan Xiu has been hanging out with three little mistresses day and night, and has completely lost his fighting spirit.

Although he finally agreed to issue an edict asking for help, he was not allowed to make peace.

It is estimated that since then, the bane has been planted...... Dugu thought as he wished.

Things are also going in a worse direction:

The Guanzhong region has experienced years of conquest, and if you don't send people or take them as hostages, I'm afraid you won't easily send troops to rescue you......

At the same time, Nanliang also took advantage of the fire to rob and invade Jingzhou, containing the reinforcements from Xiangyang.

And the queen is the eldest daughter of Gao Huan, and every move in the palace will be monitored and leaked......

Looking at the Chinese and martial arts, at least half of them are Gao Huan's henchmen, and once it happens, the consequences will be unimaginable......

At this point, Dugu felt deeply helpless and powerless as he wished, until today.

"Wechen still has a way to ......," Yuan Zigong suddenly interjected.

Yuan Xiu just rolled his eyelids at him, and the meaning was probably this: say it and listen to it.

"There are three ways I can think of: first, move Jingxiang; 2. Resist the high teacher; 3. Broadcast and relocate Guanlong. ”

"That's not a good way to do it!" Changsun Zhi stood up and retorted. "Moving to Jingxiang is too close to Xiao Liang and too unsafe; resists Gao Huan, but his strength is not good, and he will eventually be defeated; threw himself into Guanlong, only to get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth. ”

"So what do you say? Is it possible for everyone here to sit back and wait to be killed? ”

The two directly disregarded decency and quarreled in the main hall.

"Weichen only has one sentence to say: No matter what, without further ado, please let Your Majesty leave quickly, take a car, and escape from the imperial city." Yang Ying looked at the rain outside the hall, and the scattered rain was about to stop, and finally couldn't help but speak.

No matter which option you choose, you need a turnaround time, and if you continue to grind like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go anywhere of the three roads.

"Who's talking?" Only then did Yuan Xiu notice an unfamiliar face. "Dugu, did you bring this person in?"

"Your Majesty, this is one of the commanders of the Jingyang Military Mansion in Guanzhong, Mo Qilin Yang Ying." Dugu turned sideways as he wished, raised his hand and introduced it upwards. "He is the martial artist with the highest martial arts in the young generation of Chang'an, and has repeatedly turned the tide of the war. Today it was also he who assisted Weichen and guarded the north gate. ”

"Where are the soldiers and horses of King Guanzhongqin?" Yuan Xiu looked mean. "Not a single soldier? You can't come alone, right? Who knows if it's a spy sent by Jinyang? ”

For a moment, Yang Ying really wanted to go up and stab this dog emperor to death first, saving Gao Huan trouble.

Before Yang Ying could speak, a herald of the Praetorian Guard was covered in blood and stumbled in: "Get out of the way!" Important military information! Big things are wrong!! ”

"What's wrong......" Before anyone could say it out loud......

"Get out of the way! Big things are not good! Fire! A fire breaks out in the city! Fires broke out everywhere in the city!! ”

！！！

Yang Ying secretly shouted in his heart:

Broken!!

——

With a scream, the surviving defenders of the south gate of Luoyang were thrown off the city wall one by one and fell to death.

Pei Guang hugged his knees, sat on the railing of the city tower, looked indifferently, and his subordinates worked.

The rain condensed into drops and slid silently down his cold steel mask.

"How many more?"

Pei Na glanced at it: "There are probably hundreds more......

"Don't throw it, kick it with your feet. Hurry up. ”

"Hmm." Nana nodded, turned and commanded. "Kick it all down, quick!"

"Nana, take a hundred of your men, grab torches and oil, and go into the city and set fires everywhere." Iron Kamen knew that there were less than 150 soldiers he could directly command. The lack of troops is the biggest shortcoming at present, and after thinking about it, it was decided to use the fire to expand the results of the battle. "Remember, don't confront the remnants of the Forbidden Army, just wait for the Wolf Rider to come and join you."

"Order!" Hearing that there was going to be arson, Nana seemed to be very excited, and then asked with a trace of anxiety: "Brother, can the wolf rush ride really arrive on time?" ”

How ruthless the Crow Military Division is, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Pei Na was afraid from the bottom of her heart that one day, she would become an outcast.

"I believe in Xiao Jue." Because he was wearing a mask, Pei Guang couldn't see any expression when he said this. From the voice, the slightest mood swing could not be heard. "After the fire broke out, you took all the people surnamed Pei and quickly left the city and evacuated south."

"What?" Nana actually heard it clearly, but she still asked casually: "How can I leave you alone, brother......"

"Execute the order." Pei Guang only replied with four words. The voice was cold, like rain hitting a mask.

Nana understood her brother's temper, so she didn't say a word, turned around and led the people away. I just whispered silently in my heart:

Sima Jue, if you betray your brother, I will definitely want you to live rather than die.

After a while, the defenders of the south gate of Luoyang were all thrown off the city wall and destroyed.

Pei Guang ordered the remaining dozens of his subordinates, carrying horses, and waiting to pick up Nana out of the city.

And left alone, looking at the majestic Luoyang City, there were fires everywhere.

And the sky seems to be very favorable, collecting clouds and rain in an instant, and the sky is clear.

But the wind has not stopped.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the smoke billowed and rose into the sky.

Wait to see Pei Na gather her soldiers and ride out of the city.

The fire gradually expanded and was out of control.

Then he saw a black line far away from the city, and he was rushing towards him.

When they came near, they could see clearly: the elite team, all black horses, with bows and crossbow chains, each carrying scimitars, and even the movements of driving the horses were uniform.

It was the strongest combat effectiveness of the archery cavalry regiment in Jinyang, the "Wolf Assault Cavalry".

Recalling that when he was separated from the crow at the Fuyuan Inn, the guy told him: "Master Pei, I will assign the most elite wolf rider in Jinyang to you, don't let the emperor get away, remember to remember." ”

Pei Guang got up and stood, dusted off the water droplets on his body, and chuckled:

"Killing the emperor, this kind of dirty work that is not on the scene, it is more appropriate for me to do it."
