Chapter 348: Jiangdu Mutiny (2)
Chapter 348: Jiangdu Mutiny (2)
Yuwen Chengdu was confined to his home in Jiangdu City after being suspended. He was very depressed for the past two days, and realized that he had been framed.
In fact, this is also what he has been worried about during this time, recently Yu Wenhua and others have been moving more and more, and the momentum of mutiny and rebellion is becoming more and more obvious, once Yang Guang learns of these circumstances, the fact that he used to be Yuwen Shu's fake son, whether he is still in contact with the Yuwen family or not, can not escape Yang Guang's suspicion.
Although he has been loyal to Yang Guang for more than ten years, Yuwen Chengdu also knows that Yang Guang is a person with a lot of suspicions, and this dismissal and grounding is not so much a clumsy framing of the opponent, but rather a heart disease of Yang Guang, even if he finally proves his innocence, Yang Guang will not let himself be easily reinstated to take charge of the army.
...
Just as Yuwen Chengdu was drinking in the study, his wife Ye suddenly walked in, "Husband, General Dugu sent someone to find you, saying that there is something very important. ”
Yuwen Chengdu was stunned, then frowned a little, he put down the wine bowl, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where are the people?"
"In the guest room too! Very anxious, husband, go see him! ”
"I see!"
His wife hurriedly handed him a hot towel, Yuwen Chengdu took the towel and wiped his face slightly, sobered up for a while, and walked to the guest room.
As soon as he reached the door of the guest room, an officer greeted him, knelt down on one knee and said, "General, the Holy Lord has summoned you to enter the palace immediately!"
The officer's name was Liu Tiezhu, a very cheesy name. He was Yuwen Chengdu's personal general, and after Yuwen Chengdu was dismissed, he was worried that he would be purged by his successor, so he took his personal soldiers to take refuge in Lonely Sheng.
Yuwen Chengdu was stunned when he heard this, and was a little puzzled, why did the saint summon himself to inform him, and not the eunuch in the palace?
Suddenly, Yuwen Chengdu's face changed greatly, as if he had figured out something, and asked anxiously, "But what happened?"
Liu Tiezhu thought for a while and said in a low voice: "At noon today, General Dugu received a mysterious reminder that Yu Wenhua would launch a mutiny and rebellion tonight."
Yuwen Chengdu was shocked, and at the same time understood why the saint asked Liu Tiezhu to inform him, it must be that the people around the saint have been monitored by Yu Wenhua, and the saint can't trust them.
And let his own general, Liu Tiezhu, come to inform him, explaining that the saint wanted him to lead the army into the palace and join Dugusheng and others to escort and rescue him.
Yuwen Chengdu didn't have time to ask more, turned around and ran back to the house, put on his armor and helmet, picked up the phoenix wings gilt boring and ran quickly to the stable, but his son Xie Wenchao chased after him from behind, "Father, the child will go with you!" ”
Xie Wenchao is the only son of Yuwen Chengdu and is 14 years old this year. Since falling out with Yuwenshu, Yuwen Chengdu himself did not return to his original surname because of his old vow, but he restored his original surname for his son.
Yuwen Chengdu stopped when he heard this, pondered for a moment, turned around and held his son's shoulder, and said very solemnly: "There may be a big mess in Jiangdu City, you can take your mother to the small mansion in the west of the city to live temporarily, and then I will take you back after I take care of it."
As Yang Guang's confidant general, he was worried that once things changed, those opponents would not let go of his family, so he secretly bought a small mansion in the west of the city not long ago, intending to use it to temporarily hide his family when the situation was critical.
Xie Wenchao also knew about the small house, and couldn't help but be anxious when he heard the words, "But father..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuwen Chengdu waving his hand. Yuwen Chengdu held his shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "Chao'er listen to me, if you go with me, it will only increase the number of troops, which is of little significance, but your mother has no one to take care of!"
Saying that, Yuwen Chengdu patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said solemnly: "Chao'er has grown up, you must learn to take responsibility and take care of your mother." Once the situation is critical, you will find an opportunity to take your mother out of the city, and then rush to Hu Tuozhou, which is the secret garrison of the Allied army, and your father has some friendship with the marshal of the Allied army, and they will treat you well. ”
"Father!" Xie Wenchao bit his lip and nodded.
Yuwen Chengdu immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder again, "Then hurry up!" Don't pack up your things, but I have prepared food and clothing for my father in that little house, and I have buried three thousand taels of gold under the bed in the main house. ”
Xie Wenchao nodded tearfully, then turned around and ran towards the inner house, Yuwen Chengdu kept watching his son enter the inner house, and then walked into the stable quickly, turned over on the horse, and rode towards the Guards camp with Liu Tiezhu.
The camp of the Guards is in Jiangdu City, not very far from the mansion of Yuwen Chengdu, the two of them arrived in a short time, and the generals who stayed in the camp rushed out of the camp when they heard the news, and reported with their hands: "General, the last general is ready, you can set off immediately!"
Yuwen Chengdu nodded, "How many soldiers are there?" ”
"Counting the soldiers who took turns to rest, there were three thousand five hundred in all. All the soldiers are fully equipped and ready to go! ”
"Good!"
Yuwen Chengdu immediately ordered: "Set off immediately, follow me to the palace to escort!"
……
The camp of the Guards is in the south of the Jiangdu Palace, about ten miles away from the palace, and you have to pass through a forest on the way.
The forest is not large, only more than 200 steps wide, but it surrounds the entire Jiangdu Palace, which is a specially designed defense line for the palace.
The woods were about two miles before the palace, and Yuwen Chengdu marched rapidly with his soldiers, and after more than two quarters of an hour, the team reached the section of the woods. Yuwen Chengdu did not dare to be careless, and ordered the team to slow down, and the soldiers held shields in their hands to guard the woods on both sides.
"General, there are ambushes!" A lieutenant spotted an anomaly in the woods.
As soon as the lieutenant's words fell, ten thousand arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides, and the dense arrows were overwhelming, like a rain of arrows shooting towards them.
Although they had their shields in hand early in the morning and were on guard, the distance between the two sides was not far, and the strength of the arrows was strong, and the dense arrows still hit many people, and hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground in a moment.
"Rush over!" Yuwen Chengdu roared, holding a phoenix-winged gilt boring, and urged the horse to rush towards the exit of the woods.
At this moment, an infantry team rushed out on either side of the exit of the woods, and they quickly closed and blocked the exit of the woods. The general headed by is none other than General Yuanli.
Yuan Li rode a black war horse, holding a black gold chopping knife in his hand, he looked coldly at Yuwen Chengdu, who was rushing quickly, and ordered sharply: "Release the arrow!"
Thousands of sharp arrows were shot head-on, the soldiers continued to fall to the ground with arrows, screams came and went, Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were red, he vigorously waved the phoenix wings gilt boring arrows, while urging the horse to run like flying, quickly moving forward to kill, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy army had not completely closed and blocked, and killed a bloody road.
