Chapter 178: Emperor Shenwu Returns
In Chengdu, after Dao Yan and Sima Yi received Guo Jia's flying pigeon message, they were overjoyed and began to take action.
Dao Yan asked people to bring the fake tiger talisman to Xiao Qin, and asked him to exchange the fake tiger talisman for the real tiger talisman. Xiao Qin was shocked, and it was just a matter of passing the news to these people who claimed to be for the revival of the empire on weekdays, this in exchange for the tiger talisman was a great crime of rebellion, and if the emperor knew about it, it would be to punish the nine clans.
He wanted to tell the emperor everything that happened to him, but when he thought that his son was still in their hands, not to mention that he had just become a relative, if he didn't obey them, his son's life and the Xiao family's incense would be completely cut off. The family and the country are all over the world, and there is no country where the family comes from, and the family is saved, and everything else is easy to say.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Qin quietly changed the tiger talisman while Ling Tianmu was on the toilet. Through Dao Yan's internal response in the Imperial Forest Army, the tiger talisman was brought to Dao Yan's hands.
With the Tiger Talisman, Dao Yan and Sima Yi's hearts blossomed, and as soon as the Tiger Talisman arrived, the rest was well solved. For the sake of his own safety, Ling Tianmu used all his henchmen and generals to command his 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, resulting in although there were more than 200,000 troops on the periphery of Chengdu, none of the leading generals were his henchmen. As long as someone is sent in advance to deceive the overseers of the corpses in each army out of the army for various reasons in advance, then everything else will fall into place.
The two of them set a specific action plan together. In advance, they sent people to deceive the military supervisors to the Qinglou and tavern, and then charmed them and secretly got rid of them. Then Sima Yi used the relationship he had established with the generals of various armies in Chengdu to enter the army, and used the tiger charm as a basis to falsely claim to be Ling Tianmu's secret envoy and deceive the generals of various armies to Jiangyou.
When Sima Yi succeeded and Mo Feng and his troops entered Chengdu, Dao Yan created chaos in the city, except for the two mortal people left by Taiwei Yan Qin and the general of the chariot and cavalry, Lin Hua, who were bound to die, none of the other people who should be killed were left, and they were all killed. Rocky, Xiao Qin and others hid them at the right time in case of accidents.
Soon, the military supervisors of Gongwei Chengdu were invited to the Qinglou and tavern by Sima Yi, and then they were enchanted by the shadow guards with drugs and were killed peacefully in their sleep.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sima Yi entered the camp, showed Ling Tianmu's tiger talisman, and confessed his identity. falsely claimed to be the emperor's secret envoy, and during this time, he was on the emperor's secret order, lurking beside them, and befriending them, in order to see their loyalty. Then, the emperor's edict was announced, and they were asked to gather and rush to Jiangyou to discuss the strategy of attacking Yongzhou with the general.
Although the generals of the army had doubts, they had a genuine tiger talisman, so they had to obey Sima Yi's dispatch and follow him to Jiangyou, where they saw the general Wei Kai.
At the same time, Dao Yan in Chengdu City passed the news of Sima Yi's departure to Mo Feng, and after Mo Feng received the news of the flying pigeon, he immediately waved his army out of the Yinping Dangerous Road and occupied Jiangyou.
Under the persuasion of Wei Kai and Ling Tianlei, the Jiangyou guard was very happy to fall to Ling Tianlei's side. Although he didn't know what was happening, he knew that Emperor Shenwu was not dead, and he had come back to save them and save the entire empire.
After a day's rapid march, the generals of various armies and the guards of Fucheng and Mianzhu arrived at Jiangyou in the middle of the night. In Jiangyou, they did meet the emperor of the Tianxing Empire, but what they saw was not the current Emperor of the Apocalypse, but the Emperor Shenwu who had already died.
After knowing Emperor Shenwu's intentions and understanding the current situation, they chose to be loyal to Emperor Shenwu without exception. In today's situation, everything is in the hands of Emperor Shenwu, even the general Wei Kai and the hussar general Li Shu have fallen to Emperor Shenwu, how can they still work for Ling Tianmu and accompany him to the funeral!
The generals rushed back to their respective stations in the starry night, and they were going to prepare for the implementation of the "military admonition" against Ling Tianmu in Chengdu. And Ling Tianlei and Mo Feng also led the army to start from Jiangyou and advance towards Chengdu.
Another day passed, and darkness once again enveloped the city of Chengdu. The generals had already returned to their respective armies and began to reorganize their troops and horses to prepare for the siege of Chang'an. Dao Yan also got the news and began to prepare to purge Ling Tianmu's ministers.
Chengdu in the dark, silent, from the imperial civil and military officials, down to the ordinary peddlers and pawns, all slept peacefully in their sleep. The shadow guards and dark guards lurking in Chengdu City began to become active, and under the command of Dao Yan, they began a silent and brutal killing of those important ministers of the empire who could only slap their beards.
When the morning came, some of the important ministers of the empire were discovered by their families that they had died in their sleep, and all of them died in a surprisingly consistent manner, all of them were poisoned. What made them even more panicked was that the more than 200,000 troops stationed outside Chengdu on weekdays and guarding Chengdu were actually marching towards Chengdu and surrounding Chengdu.
When the people in the city saw this, they panicked, and the entire city of Chengdu suddenly became a pot of porridge.
In the palace, Ling Tianmu sat weakly on the dragon chair, looking at the few ministers standing under the main hall, his face full of ashes. He couldn't understand why, in just one night, the situation had somehow turned out to be the way it was. His ministers died and fled. The more than 200,000 troops defending Chengdu were actually besieging Chengdu.
Originally, he wanted to use the talisman to transfer them back to the station, but when he looked at it, he realized that his talisman had been transferred. The only one who can do this is his regular servant Xiao Qin. But Xiao Qin has long since run away without a trace. Not only Xiao Qin, but even the Lodge family of the Imperial Historian were also missing.
Later, he sent men to the various armies and ordered them to return to their original positions, but those he sent were all detained and never returned.
Looking at his crown prince Ling Luotian, looking at Prime Minister Bai Hua, looking at Taiwei Yan Qin, and looking at the general Lin Hua, these are the few courtiers he can rely on in the court. But now they either have their eyes closed, or they are all worried. Like him, he didn't know what had happened or why it had become the way it had happened overnight.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Bai Hua opened his eyes, and an unprecedented resolute expression appeared on his face, and then he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you can trust Weichen, you will hand over the defense of Chengdu to Weichen under the command of Weichen, and Weichen will definitely not let Your Majesty suffer any harm." ”
Seeing Bai Hua's move, Ling Tianmu actually cried, at a critical moment, this brother who had a friendship with him was trustworthy!
"Qing holds my token, although I go, the 30,000 Royal Forest Army will all belong to the Qing Army, I hope Qing will live up to his wishes and keep Chengdu!"
"No, the minister obeys!" Taking the token, Bai Hua kowtowed three times towards Ling Tianmu, and walked towards the Chengdu City Gate with a momentum of no hesitation.
Bai Hua stood on the northern wall with his sword in armor, and he knew what was happening from the moment the ministers in the city died mysteriously, Rocky disappeared, and the army besieged the city. The suspicions and suspicions about Rocky on weekdays were all figured out at that moment. It turned out that Rocky turned out to be his man. It's incredible, but that's the only explanation available today.
After a fierce battle of ideas, he finally made a choice that was most beneficial to the empire that was about to fall.
Soon, more than 200,000 troops surrounded Chengdu. A large army, coming from the north, from far and near, appeared in Bai Hua's field of vision. The army besieging the north of Chengdu gave way to the army to come over. In the army, the banner with the word "Qin" on a black and red background, under the light of the sun, is extraordinarily eye-catching.
Bai Hua took a deep breath and said to the North Gate guard beside him: "Go, do what you have to do!" ”
"Don't you understand what you mean, Prime Minister?" The guard of the north gate was shocked, what did Prime Minister Bai Hua want to do, was he deceiving him or did he really want to open the city gate like them. Unable to help but put his hand on the matching sword.
Bai Hua smiled and walked towards the city gate: "No need to be like this, don't you want to open the city gate, that appearance is just like your wish, open the city gate." ”
"No, the last general will obey!" The general of the north gate looked at Sima Yi who was hiding among the soldiers, and when he saw Sima Yi nodding, he believed that Bai Hua really wanted to open the city gate and let the army outside the city come in.
"Squeak", the city gate was slowly opened. Bai Hua looked at Ling Tianlei, who was riding on a horse and slowly walked into the city, and also took the initiative to kneel on the ground.
Ling Tianlei, who was riding on a horse, was shocked at first when he saw Bai Hua like this, but then he was relieved. Bai Hua is Bai Hua after all, he still knows.
"You've got it all!"
"From the moment Rocky disappeared, I had a guess! Neither Wutang nor your son has the ability to make Rocky loyal to him. I think about it, only you, who are long dead, can make him loyal, don't you! Bai Hua looked at Mo Feng beside Ling Tianlei, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead.
"Sure enough, you've already guessed it, then you should know my purpose."
"Something in my heart! So, I never said those two words. ”
"Excellent! You have never fought uncertain battles, so can you mobilize the Imperial Forest Army in the city? ”
"Yes, the token is in my hand!"
"Then let us go in! It's been more than ten years, and it's time for me to go see him! ”
"You're not going to kill him, are you?"
"We are brothers, biological brothers of the same mother!"
"Okay, come with me!" Bai Hua said, stood up, asked someone to bring a horse, held the token in his hand, and shouted "Your Majesty has surrendered" in his mouth, and walked towards the palace with Ling Tianlei and his party.
Seeing that Prime Minister Bai Hua had surrendered, and he still held tokens in his hands that could mobilize them, the Imperial Forest Army on both sides believed what Bai Hua said that His Majesty had surrendered, so they put down their weapons and obediently retreated to the side.
Ling Tianlei turned sideways and said to Mo Feng with a smile: "Feng'er, it seems that there is no shortage of sensible people in Chengdu City, and things seem to be much easier than we imagined. ”
"Yes, Dad!" Mo Feng also didn't expect that at the last moment, Bai Hua, who had always been Ling Tianmu's confidant, would take the initiative to open the city gate and let them in. This saves them a lot of effort.
Walking all the way to the palace, Xiao Qin, Luo Qi and others, who had disappeared earlier, also walked out under the escort of the shadow guards. When the two saw Ling Tianlei, one was excited and the other was surprised.
For Rocky, after many years, he finally saw the person he had been thinking about again. Now, he can finally stand in front of him and salute him. Two lines of hot tears couldn't help but flow.
And for Xiao Qin, he couldn't say anything when he was shocked, and the one who manipulated all this behind the scenes turned out to be Emperor Shenwu, who had been in control of Bintian for many years. After the surprise, more was still happy, Emperor Shenwu did not die, he came back. This shows that his son is not only fine, but also safe. What's more, the empire doesn't have to die, they don't have to be slaves to the orcs. For a while, Xiao Qin couldn't help crying.
