Chapter 33: The Scarlet Night (4) (2nd Update)

"Your Majesty... Tian Lingzi stood up hard, but he didn't know what to say.

"Father, didn't I ask you to call all the generals to the banquet tonight, why did there be a rebellion?" Although Li Yi is not a proper job and is not a qualified emperor, it does not mean that he does not know anything.

"This... Tian Lingzi was speechless for a moment.

"Back to Your Majesty, the top priority now is to ask Your Majesty to leave the palace as soon as possible for refuge, and the rebels are likely to attack the palace." Chen Jingxuan on the side hurriedly relieved his third brother.

"Your Majesty, Envoy Chen Jiedu is right, the top priority is that the safety of the holy driver is the most important, and it doesn't matter who rebels anymore. Only when the holy driver is safe, can the ministers lead the army to pacify these rebels. Li Ling stood up and agreed.

"There are rebels everywhere outside the palace, where can we go? And what about your army? Why not come and counterinsurgency! ”

"Your Majesty, the armies of the ministers are all outside the city, and it will take time to mobilize!"

"Your Majesty, the generals are right, the top priority is to leave the palace. The number of rebels should not be large, but we can go to the east of the city by taking advantage of the great chaos created on the night of Shangyuan. Tian Lingzi also took the opportunity to persuade.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a long voice came from outside the main hall, and I saw a forbidden army general running in in a panic, kneeling on the ground, pointing outside, and saying breathlessly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the rebels have come in! ”

"What?"

Hearing the news, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and Tian Lingzi next to him took the opportunity to persuade Li Yi to leave quickly, and then he reacted, and then ran outside the hall under the protection of Tian Lingzi and a group of generals.

As they ran out of the temple gate, there was a cracking sound, and a row of sharp arrows came at them. This came suddenly, and several eunuchs and forbidden soldiers who rushed to the front were caught off guard, were shot by arrows, and fell to the ground in a scream.

When everyone was frightened by this sudden arrow, they suddenly roared towards Li Yi, and they had the potential to take his life. Fortunately, Yang Fugong next to him reacted quickly enough and pushed Li Yi, and the arrow was able to grub Li Yi's body, and with a "poof" sound, it hit a eunuch next to him, and then the eunuch fell straight down.

This arrow can be said to have scared Li Yi so much that he almost died, but fortunately, Yang Fugong pushed him, otherwise the arrow was very likely to hit him. Of course, Tian Lingzi was also taken aback, because he found that the person who shot the arrow was Guo Qi, and the other party might have shot himself, after all, he and Xi Zong were next to each other, and Guo Qi hated him far more than Li Yi.

Seeing that it was Guo Qi, Tian Lingzi was very angry and said angrily, "Traitor, you are not dead yet?" ”

Guo Qi laughed and said, "Eunuch dog, you didn't expect Guo to be poisoned by your poisonous wine, right?" ”

"Poisoned wine?" Li Yi said subconsciously.

Tian Lingzi immediately explained, "Your Majesty, this Guo Qi is the leader of the rebels, he secretly colluded with the Yellow Nest thieves, and the old slave wanted to get rid of him quietly, but he didn't expect his life to be big, and he actually let him escape." ”

"Collusion with the Yellow Nest? Damn this thief! When it came to Huangchao, Li Yi thought that he had to leave Chang'an under his persecution, and he didn't think much about whether there was a problem with Tian Lingzi's words.

Tian Lingzi's slander, Guo Qi naturally didn't hear it, and when he saw that the enemy was in front of him, he shouted to the soldiers behind him, "The dog eunuch Tian clan, the disaster caused chaos in the government and caused the Son of Heaven to suffer, kill this dog eunuch, Qingjun's side!" There is a bounty of 10,000 taels for capturing a dog eunuch alive, and a bounty of 1,000 taels for killing a dog eunuch! ”

"Kill!"

With such a heavy reward, these soldiers suddenly burst into combat effectiveness and slaughtered towards the main hall together. Seeing these killed rebels up close, Li Yi actually wanted to say that he was the emperor, but before he could say anything, he was led by Tian Lingzi and others to retreat into the main hall under the cover of the forbidden army in front of the palace, retreat from the back of the main hall to the harem, and then retreat to the east of the city from the other palace gates.

Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs along the road were frightened and panicked, scattered and fled, and the forbidden army responsible for covering was constantly falling, and even the generals in the main hall before also lost several people, one of whom was shot by random arrows and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Although the battle in front of the main hall was one-sided, there were nearly a thousand people in the forbidden army, and it was not without the slightest strength to fight back, and in the end, Guo Qi and the others could only watch Tian Lingzi escape with Xi Zong, and they were so angry there.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, there is an unknown army ahead!"

"Kill me, you must rush to the palace as soon as possible!"

Seeing the crowd of people in front of him, Li Ye gave an order without hesitation. Before and after him, it was his palace guards, but there were only 4 teams, just in their early 200s, and the remaining team stayed in the palace. The palace was not affected by the rebellion, but no one dared to guarantee that it would not be robbed by the likes of green skins, so it was necessary to leave a team. And Li Ye quickly rushed to the palace with these 4 teams of personal soldiers.

Li Ye's personal soldiers have not been trained for a long time, but they are still very obedient to military orders, so when he personally led the team, these personal soldiers who were not qualified still chose to obey the orders. As only 14 years old, King Shou is with them, and these big men can't be inferior to a child, so while looking up to Li Ye, they also mustered up courage.

Fortunately, Li Ye's personal soldiers, before entering the palace, were not farmers who had just put down their farm tools, but were selected from the Shu army, of course, most of them were yellow-headed soldiers, but now they are the guards of Shouwangfu.

"Wait! Who is in front? We are the army that has come to quell the rebellion! ”

Just as the royal soldiers were about to kill, the team in front suddenly stopped and shouted. Only then did Li Ye realize that unlike those chaotic soldiers, although the number of troops in front of him was small, the army was neat, and it was not a yellow-headed army, but a tooth soldier.

Tooth soldiers, that is, the pro-soldiers of the Jiedu Envoy, this army is the strongest combat effectiveness under the command of the Jiedu Envoy, well-equipped, and well-paid. At this time, the Chengdu Mansion had to say that there were a total of five armies, the forbidden army, the tooth soldiers, the Zhizhou soldiers, the Huangtou army and the Jiedu envoys' personal soldiers, as for the unity soldiers, there were no in Chengdu.

These five armies combined together were nearly 30,000 people, of which the Yellow Head Army had the largest number, accounting for nearly half; The forbidden army, tooth soldiers, and jiedu made the pro-soldiers the most generalized and the best treatment.

Not to mention the forbidden army, it was the forbidden army brought by Xizong and Tian Lingzi from Chang'an and fled from Chang'an, mainly the Shence army, a total of less than 3,000 people, most of them are in the palace, responsible for the daily guards of the palace.

Since the tooth soldiers and the pro-soldiers of the festival envoy are both cronies of the festival envoy, wouldn't this setting be repeated? There are some practical reasons for this. Chen Jingxuan's appointment as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival is not popular, this tooth soldier was set up during the Cui Anqian period, but Cui Anqian was removed from the post of the festival envoy by Tian Lingzi, and the tooth soldiers under his command naturally disobeyed Chen Jingxuan, so after Chen Jingxuan came to Chengdu Mansion, he formed a pro-army based on the Shence Army.

At present, there are about 4,000 tooth soldiers, and Chen Jingxuan's personal soldiers have 5,000 people. In addition to these two troops, there is also a branch of about 3,000 soldiers, which is the army of Chengdu Prefecture, but the Yin of Chengdu Prefecture is concurrently served by Chen Jingxuan, and this army can also be regarded as Chen Jingxuan's troops. However, like the tooth soldiers, Chen Jingxuan could not fully control the 3,000-strong army, but he generally obeyed Chen Jingxuan's command.

"We are the guards of King Shou's Mansion, and under the leadership of King Shou, we will go to rescue and quell the rebellion!" Li Hong shouted loudly.

Hearing that it was the guards of the Shouwang Mansion, the tooth soldiers of hundreds of people were a little surprised at first, and when they saw the palace guards in front of them, there were only about 200 people, and they actually dared to go to the rescue and quell the rebellion. Although there were some doubts, after confirming that Li Ye, the Shou King, was indeed in the guard, the captain in charge of commanding these hundreds of soldiers accepted Li Ye's command.

This kind of situation was encountered several times along the way, and the counterinsurgency army was scattered with hundreds of people, which is also normal, and the generals of these armies all retreated with Xizong and were not in the army at all. Similarly, the rebels were also scattered, because except for Guo Qi's core troops, the other rebels did not listen to the command, and even took the opportunity to loot property.

So when Li Ye led the army to the palace, there were already more than 1,000 troops gathered around him, including the palace guards, the tooth soldiers, the Zhizhou soldiers, and the Huangtou army. Of course, there may be people in these yellow-headed troops who see that the situation is not good, and they join the counterinsurgency army anyway, but this is impossible to distinguish.

However, when Li Ye led the army to the palace and saw the corpses everywhere in front of the palace, his mood was suddenly very heavy.
