Chapter 66: Poor (6)
When he arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, he walked up to the city tower, and the armor guarding here recognized Chen Cheng and asked, "Zhijin Wu is here, do you have an order from Da Changqiu?" ”
Chen Cheng didn't speak as well as last time, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and shouted: "Your Majesty named me a hussar general, do you know?" ”
A soldier said: "I know, but ....."
"Since you know, you won't get out of the way?" Chen Cheng scolded: "Is it not good for you to be my sword? ”
Jia's morale was robbed, and he didn't dare to stop it, so he let him break through with his soldiers. However, it is also possible that Chen Cheng's voice was too loud, and he was dizzy and couldn't do other actions, so he watched Chen Cheng take people to the resumption.
When I arrived at the tower of the North Palace, there were still armor guards. But the guards here had already heard Chen Cheng's scolding just now, and when they hesitated, they had already been knocked aside by Chen Cheng. Looking at the group of people who were leaving, the guards looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.
More than 100 people moved quickly, crossed half of the North Palace, and rushed to the gate of Changqiu Palace. Hearing the sound of the collision of the armor soldiers, the people in the palace panicked, and Queen He forced her composure and said, "Go out and ask, what are they here for?" ”
The queen of the small palace, Lin, walked out tremblingly, and when she saw that it was Chen Cheng, she was a lot bolder, and plucked up the courage to ask, "The general came here late at night, what is the matter?" ”
Chen Cheng smiled and did not answer, but said, "Take me to see the queen." ”
Seeing that Chen Cheng was easier to speak, the eunuch on the side was bold, and immediately put on an arrogant face and reprimanded: "Bold! The queen is also what you want to see? ”
Chen Cheng sighed and said, "I didn't want to kill people, but some people just can't give a good face." Now that the situation is urgent, then I have to offend! ”
His face changed sharply, and he shouted, "Drag it down and kill it!" ”
Two horsemen from the Yue cavalry camp stepped forward, grabbed the eunuch, and dragged him to the bottom of the hall. Another cavalryman drew his ring-headed knife and asked, "General, do you really want to kill?" ”
The eunuch was pressed to the ground and cried out; "I am the one who serves the Empress, and you dare to kill me? Da Changqiu won't let you go! ”
Chen Cheng knew that when he didn't know his mother-in-law and mother now, once he showed a little weakness, things would slip in the direction of being out of control, so he said with a cold face: "Could it be that you can't even kill people?" ”
The knight sneered, turned around, and cut off the eunuch's head with a "click". The head rolled twice on the ground, stopped moving, and the frightened eyes were right on Wang Lin's side. The poor little maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground at once, and could not help screaming.
Girls, it's always like this, and when they see spiders and cockroaches and other things, they can't help but scream. Then it is normal for Wang Lin to scream when he sees that the person who was fine just now suddenly becomes two.
Chen Cheng's brows furrowed, he hated crying, whether it was his own or someone else's, because it was a sign of weakness. In the same way, he also dislikes people who are in a panic and only know how to shout and scream. He sighed, looked left and right, and asked, "Can anyone show me the way?" ”
"No need," Empress He walked out, she looked at the head and the headless corpse on the ground, and almost didn't spit it out, but she forcibly held back, and just said coldly: "Zhijin Wu is so majestic, even the people around him dare to kill!" ”
Chen Cheng owed a debt and said with a smile: "The situation is urgent, I have no choice, and I ask the queen to forgive me." ”
Queen He sneered and said, "If Yu doesn't forgive, will Zhi Jinwu kill Yu Ye?" ”
"The queen said with a smile," Chen Cheng said: "Your Majesty has just died, please ask the queen and the princess to go to the Jiade Hall immediately." ”
The queen's face was already bad, but when she heard this, her face changed even more, "Your Majesty has died, why don't I know?" ”
"Probably Da Changqiu hasn't had time to inform the queen yet."
Empress He suddenly changed into a mournful face and said, "I just heard shouts outside the palace, isn't the general?" ”
"No, it's some thieves who are shouting and trying to deceive people." Chen Cheng said: "Without further ado, please leave the queen immediately." ”
Empress He was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Princess Wannian doesn't live here. ”
Chen Cheng immediately said: "I will send someone to stay here, and when I receive the princess, I will immediately send it to the Jiade Palace." ”
Empress He turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Clean up the ground, don't alarm Your Highness." ”
After a while, Empress He took Liu Ban's hand and walked out, the corpse on the ground had been dragged to the corner, and the blood stains were also wiped off, but they were not wiped clean. If you look closely, there are still many suspicious dark red colors on the ground.
Liu Bian was woken up from his sleep, very unhappy, and shouted: "Queen Mother, I want to sleep!" ”
Empress He held his hand and said, "Let's go to your father's side, and sleep when we get there." ”
Liu Wei muttered, "Why do you have to sleep there?" ”
Empress He didn't speak again, and pulled Liu Zhi onto Feng Yuan. Wang Lin woke up from his fright and followed to the side.
The group of people carried torches and rushed from the Changqiu Palace to the Suzaku Gate. The Suzaku Gate of the North Palace is facing the White Tiger Gate of the South Palace, and the double road is erected in the towers on the two city gates.
When Chen Cheng had just entered the North Palace, Zhang Rang got the news. He screamed angrily, "What the hell is he trying to do? ”
In the corner, Zhao Zhong said slowly: "I probably want to arrest the queen and the prince." ”
Since seeing the emperor die, the wrinkles on his face have become deeper, and the whole person has become weak, compared with the appearance of smiling all the time before, it seems that he has completely changed a person.
Zhang Rang held back his anger and said, "Beigong is all our people, do you want to?" ”
He stretched out his right palm and made a slashing motion.
Zhao Zhong glanced at Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie in the distance, then pouted outside, and said, "The outside of the palace are all people from the Yue Cavalry Camp, how we kill him, he can kill us." ”
Although the two big mink bells transferred some more people to the Jiade Palace, even if they didn't consider the difference in combat effectiveness, how could they compare with the Yue cavalry battalion with thousands of soldiers and horses?
Zhang Rang said in a deep voice: "Jian Shuo is outside, and no one in the palace can compete with my generation." We immediately returned to the North Palace, gathered soldiers and horses to kill him, and then closed the city to defend ourselves, and the big thing can be decided! ”
Zhao Zhong looked at the body of the emperor lying on the bed in the distance, sighed, and said, "Then let's do it, wait and cry to the queen mother, and promise to support her son as the emperor." ”
The two of them had already made a decision, so they quietly retreated, leaving only Duan Qi, Sun Zhang and others to work in the main hall. They only called a dozen armor soldiers, and did not take away all the troops here, first, they didn't want to attract the attention of this side, and second, although Beigong's troops were not much, but there were also one or two thousand elites, which was enough to kill Chen Cheng.
While they were in action, so was Jian Shuo. When he arrived at the West Garden, the headquarters camp was already crumbling. Yuan Shao shouted loudly outside the camp, saying that the Son of Heaven was dead, and the general summoned the world's soldiers and horses to kill the eunuchs, and asked the Xiyuan army inside to come out and surrender, saying that he only killed Jian Shuo's cronies Yunyun.
Jian Shuo was not there, the hearts of the soldiers in the camp were shaken, and Gao Ran Zhu Ling was all knowledgeable soldiers, so he took the opportunity to storm and almost broke through the camp. Fortunately, the officers in the large battalion were able to suppress the bullets and shoot Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses back with strong bows and crossbows. Jian Shuo arrived in time to launch a surprise attack from the rear, and he personally rushed to the front with a halberd, shouting his name loudly while rushing forward to kill.
In any case, Jian Shuo is also the marshal of the Xiyuan Army appointed by the Son of Heaven, and is the top boss of all the officers and men of the Xiyuan Army. He took the lead in this way, and soon boosted the morale of his own side, and the morale of the attacking side quickly dropped to the freezing point. The soldiers and horses under Gao Ran and Zhu Ling collapsed, scattered all over the ground in the dark, and they couldn't be collected at all.
The two were embarrassed and angry, but they were helpless. Those who can attack in the dark have always been the elite of the elite, although the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army are carefully selected, but the time to form the army is still short, and the benevolence of the upper and lower levels is not over, and the soldiers are naturally unwilling to fight for it.
Everyone is here to eat military salaries, who is willing to work hard for the power of the people above you.
Gao Lan and they forced a little, and some people ran away in the night. Anyway, the lights are blind, as long as they run a little farther, the officers can't find anyone at all. After they were attacked from the rear by Jian Shuo, the soldiers were even more dispersed and could not even see their shadows.
Yuan Shao sat in his own camp, and when he saw the two people who fled back in embarrassment, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”
As soon as Gao Ran and Zhu Ling told him about the situation, Yuan Shao said angrily: "I have already ordered Gao Gan to cut off the road, how can Jian Shuo still run over?" ”
But now is not the time to be held responsible, Yuan Shaoqiang suppressed the anger in his chest, and said: "It's okay, except for Jian Shuo's soldiers and horses, the others are our people, stick to the camp first, and wait until dawn to make plans!" ”
After Gao Ran and Zhu Ling retreated, Yuan Shao's anger did not subside, he needed to remain calm in front of his subordinates just now, but now he couldn't hold back anymore. He took a few quick steps in the tent, drew the long sword that lay on the wooden shelf, and slashed it hard at the table in front of him. The long sword in Yuan Shao's hand was made of stainless steel, extremely sharp, and when the sword went down, there was a "click" sound, and the case was split into two sections.
Hearing the sound behind them, Gao Ran and Zhu Ling glanced at each other, and then their eyes immediately separated.
Gao Ran said in a sullen voice: "It seems that the lord is very angry. ”
Zhu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Can you not be angry?" ”
Gao Lan sighed and said, "Who knew that eunuch was so brave? Defeat in his hands is not wronged. ”
Zhu Ling said: "Sending troops at night is a taboo ........."
At this point, he stopped. If you continue to talk about it, you are accusing Yuan Shao.
The two of them had not walked far before they heard someone shouting outside the Yuyuan Gate: "Captain Cao Mengde, visit the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, please open the door quickly." ”
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao knew each other when they were young, and the two did a lot of ridiculous things together when they were young. The anger on his face had disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Meng De is here, he must have someone to teach me!" ”
Cao Cao jumped off his horse and said, "At the beginning, the general had an order and ordered us to immediately lead troops to surround the palace. ”
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and said, "General..... General.......... Have you made up your mind? ”
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao's eyes, suddenly laughed, and said, "The words of Fang Cai are just jokes." Now there is chaos inside and outside the city, and the soldiers and horses patrolling the city can't suppress it, and some people are already taking advantage of the fire to loot. Even if the general really gives the order, it may not be able to reach you and me. ”
"You?" Yuan Shao subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword and asked, "What does Meng De mean by this?" ”
Cao Cao said calmly: "There has been chaos in the city, I heard that the original attack on Jian Shuo failed, and I came to help!" ”
Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao for a while, and the latter calmly looked at him. After a while, Yuan Shao stepped forward to hold Cao Cao's arm and said with a smile: "With Meng De's help, why worry about big things?" ”
Cao Cao also laughed, but secretly he was greatly relieved.
