Chapter 237: The Trembling of the Imperial City (1)
"Second brother, the east is all up to you." Guo Shao stood on the Suzaku Gate Tower and turned his head to look at Yang Biao. Yang Biao said categorically: "I didn't do a good job of the big brother's big thing, I'll see you!" β
Guo Shao also advised: "As long as you control the intersection, don't take the initiative to go north." If the front of the palace and the defense area are attacked by force, they will resist, and it will be easier to gather troops and horses passively. As long as we don't move them, they are not well prepared, and it will be difficult to mobilize troops for a while. β
At this time, Luo Mengzi also walked up to the city tower, looked at the more and more soldiers and horses under the city, and said excitedly: "Big brother, we are going to do something big!" β
Guo Shao fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out a few letters to look at, and took out one: "The third brother has to do something important at the meeting, send a letter to Gao Huaide." At this time, Gao Huaide should be in the Guards Division, and you go to the Guards Division with your second brother. After controlling the Guards Division, hand over the letter to Gao Huaide in person, and don't make a mistake. Gao Huaide knows you, and after giving him a letter, let him go.
I asked him to go back to the left wing barracks of the Hujie Army to mobilize troops into the inner city to stand by; In case Gao Huaide can't move the army, he will also drink the order of the generals to stay still. After you handed over the letter, follow the second brother and listen to his orders. β
"Big brother, I understand." Luo Mengzi took the letter.
Guo Shao stopped talking and looked at the scene below the towering city tower for a long time. On both sides of the city wall, it seems to be an endless big city, countless houses, and there are towers, temples, streets, and bridges dotted in the middle, showing the most prosperous side of this era, which is the heart of the land of China!
Inside and outside the city gates, groups of ironclad soldiers rode on the wide road, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, as if the entire city was trampled by iron hooves.
Here, dignitaries, dignitaries, and princes will gather, but Guo Shao found that his people and horses had already traveled here freely and unscrupulously! There are only 10,000 people (only half of the armies in Beijing are on duty), so this heart trembles, and the power is nothing more than that!
At this moment, Guo Shao has already done a big thing, but he is not afraid. Driven by crazy emotions, he gave birth to a sense of pride and great desire in his heart. He stretched out his palm, as if trying to grab something in the air, and then clenched his fist.
Do whatever you want! Don't be afraid of anything, hit whoever is upset! Enemies and enemies tremble and grovel at their feet!
At this moment, the generals rode their horses to gather under the wall according to their custom, and they did not go upstairs, but just looked up at Guo Shao, waiting for the final lecture and military order. Guo Shao lowered his head and shouted: "Deng Fei and Dong Zunxun's cavalry are now the first to dispatch, and the first army is rushing to Xihua Gate!" β
"The last general waits, get the order!"
Guo Shao likes to listen to the sonorous and powerful word Deling, which seems to be the most coarse and powerful music. A crazy smile of pleasure appeared on his face.
raised his arm at the moment and said loudly: "Brothers are doing something of great significance now, and every soldier involved in it will be the one who will affect the fortune of Shenzhou and the rise and fall of the country; The feats of this battle will surely shine in history for centuries! After the martial arts of the current emperor, we will defend the stable national fortunes with force, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and make 'China' an empire. β
The generals may still understand it, especially the part of the generals and the literate ones, but the soldiers probably don't understand it, and they are stunned anyway. They only know that according to experience and habits, they are generally well-prepared and trustworthy to fight with Guo Shao.
Guo Shao was a little emotional, and shouted: "The rise and fall of the country, fight here!" The queen is in charge and is called to rebel! β
The army shouted together: "The queen is in charge, and she is called to rebel!" β
Guo Shao pulled out his sword and pointed diagonally in the direction of the imperial city: "Ring the bell and drum on the city tower and set off." β
"Knock, knock, knock...... Bell, bell, bell, bell......" The sound of bells and drums suddenly became loud.
Suddenly, in the army that could not distinguish the number, embroidered tiger flags were erected, with various colors and various army numbers embroidered on them. The bells and drums of the Suzaku Gate were the first to sound at the beginning of the day, and the generals returned to their respective ranks and began to march on horseback in turn to the north.
Guo Shao also quickly descended the city tower with his own soldiers and a part of the heralds, and followed the army straight north.
β¦β¦
The military commander on Miyagi was a subordinate of Dongban Qiaokang, and he was only ordered to take over the defense of this gate before yesterday...... Qiao Kang was promoted to the commander of the Eastern Bandu the day before yesterday, and he was temporarily in charge of the defense of the seven gates and one hall.
Jinxiang Hall is located in the south of the imperial city, which does not belong to the place where the emperor lives, and there are many government offices. Around the Jinxiang Palace, there are seven palace gates inside and outside. three outer doors, including Xihua Gate; There are four inner departments, and one in each of the four directions of the Jinxiang Palace.
Guo Shao's planned route is to enter the inner city from Xihua Gate; Then enter the Jinxiangdian area from the main gate between Ouchi and the southern part of the Imperial City, Xuanyou Gate, Xihua Gate, and Xiaomen.
The advantage of this road into the Jinxiang Hall is that there is no need to break through the two lines of defense from the outside; As long as the Xihua Gate is breached, the big thing can be decided, because from this city you can not only pass through the inner hall, but also through the front hall. Guo Shao probably also knew a little about the topography of the imperial city, and through the eunuch Cao Tai, he completely knew the topography of the imperial city.
On the Xihua Gate, the military general on duty is not very familiar with this place, just two days after coming, he heard the sound of bells and drums and muttered casually: "Today's o'clock seems to be a little early, and the change of guard has not yet come." β
At this moment, I saw a team of chariots and horses slowly coming towards the palace gate, and stopped far away. A general and two entourage soldiers walked over and shouted, "I am the guard secretary waiting for Guo Shao, and I am ordered to enter the palace to face the saint." β
The guard general had heard of Guo Shao, but he didn't know him, so naturally he couldn't recognize the person at the gate of the palace as Luo Yanhuan. The guard shouted, "What about the Divine Decree?" β
Luo Yanhuan glanced at the group of forbidden army sergeants standing outside with disdain, waved the things in his hand, and shouted, "Here." β
The guard said: "Give it to the soldiers outside the door, I will put the basket down and bring it up!" β
Luo Yanhuan was furious and scolded: "You dare to look at the holy decree like this, but you can't do it? Open the door and kneel to pick it up! β
The guards are Qiao Kang's subordinates, Qiao Kang's previous military rank was not high, and his subordinates were even more junior generals, so they were bluffed and didn't know what to do. Immediately, he said: "There is a strict order from above, and people must not be easily allowed to enter or exit!" β
At this moment, a group of colorful actors on the Ouchi Road were led by a eunuch and came out of the small door of the inner wall behind the gatehouse. The guard looked back and found that it was a woman in the palace, so he ignored it and still looked at the general outside the city.
This palace gate, the layout is a bit like an urn city or courtyard, and there is an inner wall and several gates in it, which is to separate the inner and the fortifications of the Janissary soldiers; The main military defense function is the faΓ§ade.
Luo Yanhuan was scolding: "The holy decree doesn't work? What is your name, which class, report your name, let's go to the front of the Imperial Court and the Privy Council ministers and ask, does anyone still listen to the holy decree of the Great Zhou Emperor? β
The guard turned his head and asked the eunuch next to him: "The palace has passed a holy decree to go out?" How to tell? β
The eunuch said: "The miscellaneous family is only on duty here, how do you know about the affairs of the emperor?" You have to look at things to tell the difference. β
"Huang Zhengcai, what are you doing in a daze? Watching the old man come over and still not open the door? The eunuch with the colorful face looked up and scolded very unhappily.
"Hey! Ay! Father-in-law Cao, the little ones will come. The eunuch Huang Zhengcai looked flattering, and hurriedly trotted down from the city tower, shouting, "Quickly open the door to Cao Gong!" β
The two rows of strong men and soldiers standing at the door below were motionless, and one of them asked, "General, can you open the palace gate?" β
The guard pondered for a moment, then came down from the tower and asked, "Who is the eunuch?" β
Huang Zhengcai was just about to speak, but Cao Tai was afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he immediately walked up and said: "Cao Tai, the permanent servant of the inner service province, you newcomer doesn't know the miscellaneous family!" Then he took out his waist card and put it in front of the guard's eyes.
The general looked at it and asked, "What are those women doing?" β
Cao Tai said: "The drama of the harem is going to be taken out of the palace, what are you asking the woman to do?" β
The guard clasped his fists and said: "Forgive me, father-in-law, it is really a death order from above, and it is impossible to be sloppy and make mistakes." After he said that, he glanced back at the palace gate, perhaps remembering that there was a general with a holy decree outside, so he waved his hand and said, "Open the door!" β
The heavy and thick palace door made a very thick noise and slowly opened. At this moment, Luo Yanhuan outside immediately rushed in with the two of them, pointing at the guard's nose and saying domineeringly: "What's your name?" Why is Gonggong Cao here, and what is his name? β
Cao Tai said: "I don't recognize it. You ask him. Pointing at Huang Zhengcai.
Huang Zhengcai looked at the guard and said with an embarrassed expression: "This ...... This ......"
The guard said: "Trouble General Guo, the holy decree, seal the letter." β
"Get on your knees!" Luo Yanhuan shouted.
The guard immediately beckoned the nearby sergeants to come over, stared at Luo Yanhuan and said, "Show me the holy decree!" β
Luo Yanhuan actually stepped forward and pushed the guard, scolding: "No big, no small, no respect!" β
Suddenly, a group of sergeants picked up the cherry guns, and the guard general said coldly: "This will guard the palace gate for the emperor, this is the palace, and you can't make noise at the palace gate with any general!" If you don't give it an inspection, you will go out and wait until we send someone to ask you clearly. β
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and dozens of cavalry guards in front of and behind the carriage outside rushed up and picked up their weapons one after another.
"Bold!" The guard shouted, "Someone is on guard!" β
First the two rows of soldiers at the gate were waiting for them, and then more heavily armed men from the garrison not far away. Unexpectedly, Luo Yanhuan was not afraid, but scolded: "My general of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, entered the palace to face the saint, but was assassinated in front of the palace gate by a young general guarding the door?" Who are you and by whom are you commanded? β
Cao Tai stood up and said, "Don't be impatient! Calm down! If you have something to say, this general is Guo Shao, and the miscellaneous family has seen it, but you still can't recognize the military general on duty guarding the palace gate? β
"Is it really General Guo?" It was also difficult for the guard to do it, so he thought for a while and said, "Come on, go and ask General Qiao...... This person has nothing, and I haven't seen the so-called holy decree, can he be put into the court? β
At this time, a large infantry army of two or three hundred people had blocked the people at the gate.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became more and more obvious, as if thousands of horses were galloping. The general who was arguing at the door couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and was stunned for a moment.
