Chapter 622: Assurance
Liu Jiang is dead, I don't know if shooting all of his face counts as leaving him a whole corpse.
It's not that the soldiers of the forbidden army under the city have never seen dead people, but it is the first time they have seen them die like this.
Some archers also know that they can shoot through people's heads with such an arrow, that is not an ordinary archer, this time looking at the feathered arrow stuck in the ground, alone there, but beyond it, it represents death.
Lu Tingxin endured the pain and drooped his eyes to see Liu Jiang's corpse clearly, and was a little afraid in his heart, but fortunately, when the black man shot the first arrow, Yang Huairen did not say the sentence, "Those who cross this arrow die." ”
He hurriedly shouted to his personal entourage to quickly pull him back, and the timid soldiers of the forbidden army also unconsciously took a few steps back, as if who dared to stand at the front of the team at this time, who would eat the next arrow.
Yang Huairen on the city gate tower spoke again, "It's still the same sentence, you better turn around and go back to the camp, I, Yang Huairen, can vouch for you, I don't see you today."
But General Lu is not among them, and after the fact, you will always be able to escape, I have already given you a chance, you didn't cherish it, and you can't blame me. ”
Lu Ting was full of regret in his confidence, and for the first time, he felt that it was not a good thing to be in charge, and the fame and fortune he had pursued for half his life were about to disappear in a blink of an eye.
At this time, he didn't have the heart, let alone the ability to incite his soldiers, all he could think about was to escape. But there are still his three wives and concubines in the city, as well as thousands of family wealth, and he is reluctant to let go.
The forbidden army began to exchange heads, and everyone muttered quietly, analyzing each other's words about whether they could believe what Yang Huairen said.
A soldier who looked like a veteran stood up, stared at the feathered arrow on the ground, walked to a place three or four steps away from the arrow, stopped cautiously, put his hands to his mouth, and began to shout to the city gate.
"The other one, the ...... Yang Jungong: Right, what you said is serious, if we return to the camp immediately at this moment, can you guarantee that the official family and the imperial court will not hold us accountable? ”
Yang Huairen was a little sure in his heart, since the forbidden army believed in this veteran and sent him as a representative to shout to him, it means that most of the soldiers of the forbidden army had already listened to his words at this time, and people's hearts began to think about going back.
It's just that this kind of thing is too big, and no one dares to joke about their family, wife and children, so they want to get greater assurance from Yang Huairen.
Yang Huairen was originally good at flickering, and he had sharp teeth, which was definitely not blown. But at this time, he doesn't have to fool these soldiers of the forbidden army, the matter has been laid out very clearly, and I believe he has already figured out the general situation.
"Brothers!"
Yang Huairen directly stood on the notch of the women's wall and shouted loudly, "You can see clearly, I am Yang Huairen, the prince of Tongyuan County, who lives in the Yang family Zhuangzi on the edge of the vortex river thirty miles southwest of the city!"
Please each and every one of you, see my face clearly, and I vouch with the head of my neck, that you will immediately turn around and return to the camp now, and you will not be held accountable in the future.
If I say it doesn't count, if you are beheaded, you can turn into ghosts and come to my house to take revenge!" ”
What turned into a ghost to take revenge has become a funny joke in later generations, but in this era, this is still quite effective.
In the ears of these ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army, those who are not afraid of ghosts lying on the window to take revenge must be a hero who spits foam and nails.
The veteran looked back at the brothers behind him, as if waiting for their approval, and saw that almost everyone began to nod their heads in recognition of Yang Huairen's words, so he turned around and arched his hand at Yang Huairen.
Then he turned his head and said, "Brothers, let's go back to camp." ”
Lu Tingxin saw that the general trend had gone, and his whole face was like ashes, so he could only passively be supported by his soldiers to a horse and led back to the camp.
As for what awaits him in the future, he doesn't dare to think about it, and he can't bear to think about it, but he feels that his parents, wives and concubines have suffered disasters with him, and he can't bear it.
When the soldiers of the forbidden army came, they were majestic and high-spirited, but when they left, they drooped their heads and walked sparsely, and they complained a little about Lu Tingxin in their hearts, resenting why he was involved in such a thing.
Calm gradually returned to the outside of Wansheng's gate, only to see a cloud of dust slowly disappearing.
Yang Huairen saw that they were far away, so he jumped down from the notch of the women's wall, touched his chest, and let out a sigh.
Yang Shihu's subordinates guarded the other city gates, Yang Huairen didn't know what the situation was, looking at the city from the city wall, the outer three gates of the west city, there should be not much movement.
Brother Hei Niu and Brother Tianba, a few of them, seem to feel a bit hasty about Yang Huairen's promise to those forbidden troops just now, there are many things that can be guaranteed, and it doesn't have to be their own heads.
Yang Huairen's face was smiling, as if crying, "Do you think I want to?" I can't help it, don't say that, don't take out my head as the prince of Tongyuan, I'm afraid they won't be able to believe me. ”
But Brother Hei Niu was still a little worried, "What these forbidden troops did, it was a matter of rebellion and killing, Brother Ren, are you sure that the officials will not be held accountable if they know about it in the future?" ”
"Nope."
Yang Huairen actually didn't have full confidence in his heart, so he had to tell the truth.
Lian Zigeng understands this, he came out and comforted, "If the county prince is talking about it, is it a bit of a gamble?" The forbidden army that is leading the troops into the city today must not only be Lu Tingxin's people, there must be someone else.
Roughly calculated, the forbidden army that was involved had to be fifteen thousand, if not 20,000. After the incident, even if the official family is angry, it is impossible to kill so many forbidden troops, and appeasing people's hearts is the most important thing. ”
Yang Huairen nodded, he was thinking about this, Empress Dowager Gao wants to usurp power, there must be a lot of manpower arranged outside the city, and these forbidden troops outside the city are actually only helping.
The most important thing is the inner guards in the palace, how much she has enveloped, as long as Zhao Xu is controlled, things can be successful.
At that time, let the forbidden army outside the city enter the city to stabilize the situation, and the literati gather together, whether it is coercion or inducement, or other means, to make a legal determination of her authority, and it will be considered a success.
Maybe Zhao Xu sensed something, so he sent a few holy decrees in time, allowing Yang Huairen and Yang Shihu to control the twelve gates of the capital, and not let the forbidden army enter the city so easily.
The forbidden army did not enter the city, and for the civil and military officials and the common people, it seemed that there was not so much oppression, so that they could easily bow their heads to the Empress Dowager Gao.
