Chapter 276: Strange Soldiers
9429 Chapter 276 Strange Soldiers
Inside the narrow passage of the city gate. Fang Zheng confronted Shou Gui's guards. Seeing that yesterday was like a cockfight, both sides didn't want to show their cowardice in front of their masters, so since Fang Zheng appeared in the passage, the smell of gunpowder began to spread in this long and narrow passage, and it seemed that as long as a little spark burst out, it could inspire a life-and-death battle.
General Fang, who was in the middle of the whirlpool, was unaware of this tense atmosphere, he was still mourning and crying for King Shou's misfortune, crying so much that he was sincere, and for a moment, King Shou even really had a strange feeling, as if he was being beaten as if it really had nothing to do with him.
Immediately, King Shou immediately shook off this thought.
This person's shameless skills are becoming more and more exquisite, but he can't be fooled anymore.
"His Royal Highness King Shou" woo, Xiaguan is a garrison general in the capital, but he ordered His Royal Highness to be bullied in the capital, this is a dereliction of duty of Xiaguan! The lower officials must order the whole city to arrest the murderer, and bring water to the king's law
As soon as everyone was stunned, the guards beside Fang Zheng hurriedly untied the water bladder they were carrying and handed it to him.
Fang Zheng wiped away his tears, raised his head and took a few sips, then looked at King Shou, with tears and snot bubbles on his face, and smiled quite shyly: "I'm crying too sadly, Xiaguan should replenish the water."
"Enough! Fang Zheng, do you think this is interesting? Are you taking this king for a fool? Today's events. Whoever does it knows in his heart, he will be rewarded one day! Now I beseech thee, open the gates of the city, and the king shall go out of the city at once. King Shou held back his anger and glared at Fang Zheng gloomily.
Damn it! After crying for a long time, he was not fooled, he was busy in vain!
Fang Zheng pursed his lips secretly, then rolled his eyes, and said, "Uh" His Royal Highness King Shou, it's already the second watch, are you out of the city so late, is there anything urgent?" ”
"Is there any urgency for this king to report to you?" Shou Wang's tone was not good.
Fang Zheng's sad expression quickly stopped, and he was replaced by a smile, but there was a little coldness in his smile: "His Royal Highness King Shou, the lower official is ordered by the emperor to be the general of the garrison of the capital, and the lower official has already issued a military order, the whole city is under martial law, the four cities are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, His Royal Highness King Shou doesn't know?" ”
King Shou's face was pale, he glared at Fang Zheng angrily, and said loudly: "You" You are just a garrison general. Do you want to stop this king from leaving the city?
"Don't dare, Your Highness is the prince's son and grandson, with a noble status, how dare the lower officials stop it? However, His Royal Highness wants to go out of the city, but it makes it difficult for the lower officials, and now the inside and outside of the capital are not very peaceful, and it is very dangerous! His Highness only brought these few guards. If someone hurts someone after leaving the city, it is the sin of the lower officials, so,"
Fang Zheng smiled very kindly: "So." The lower officials dared to ask His Royal Highness to return to the house, and when the emperor returned to the capital, even if you ran out of the city naked, the lower officials would never stop you.
King Shou glared at Fang Zheng and said gloomily: "Fang Zheng, this king knows that you are deeply favored in front of your father, but once you have your will, can you always achieve your will?" This king advises you not to do anything too much, and to leave a way out for your future. ”
Fang Zheng still smiled very kindly, but his tone was not negotiable: "Your Highness is serious, even if the lower official wants to leave a way back, he will not stay on your Royal Highness" Please return to your highness, and your majesty will send your highness to the house, and your majesty will send your highness!" ”
"What if the king insists on going out of the city?" King Shou's eyes were bloodshot, and his anger seemed to have reached a critical point.
Fang Zheng blinked and said with a smile: "Then please don't blame Your Highness for offending the lower officials."
As he spoke, more than 100 guards around Fang Zheng suddenly took a step forward, just now this group of people stood not far away, but as soon as Fang Zheng's tone changed, the guards immediately changed their temperament. They exuded an awe-inspiring and murderous aura from top to bottom, and as long as Fang Zheng gave an order, they would rush up and take down King Shou and his guards.
Not to be outdone, King Shou's guards took a step forward, although there were few people, but they were all elite soldiers selected by King Shou from the border army that had survived a hundred battles, and they were not inferior to the masters of the forbidden army who came out of the palace. Although he was inexplicably beaten by Fang Zheng's guards before. But after all, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and it was okay to fight.
With the escalation of the contradiction between Fang Zheng and King Shou, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties became more and more intense, and the narrow passage of the city gate was like a barrel full of gunpowder, which would explode at any time.
Sun Fu stood next to King Shou, so anxious that cold sweat broke out in his head. It would be a pity if His Highness's great cause was wasted because of such a small twist and turn.
So Sun Ji hurriedly pulled King Shou's sleeve. He said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the city defense army has been exhausted into Fang Zheng's hands, Your Highness should not have a grudge with him at this time, otherwise it will inevitably affect His Highness's great cause." Your Highness should go back to the house first, and then think about going out of the city. ”
King Shou was secretly startled when he heard this, hurriedly took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at Fang Zheng and sneered: "Lord Fang is indeed a young hero. This king has learned today! Lord Fang, you have to take good care, this king is waiting to repay your kindness in the future" Hmph! Walk! Go home! ”
After speaking, King Shou flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and walked towards the city.
Fang Zheng's eyes widened and he pointed to King Shou's back. He said to Vinson, "Did you hear that?" Do you hear that? He intimidated me
Wen Sen was covered in a cold sweat, if he really clashed with King Shou's guards at the gate of this city tonight, if the emperor knew about it after returning to Beijing. No matter who is right and who is wrong, they will inevitably be reprimanded as subordinates. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Shou has a large number of people, so he doesn't "cough" with this villain, and doesn't worry about Lord Fang. Everyone has escaped a disaster, and when you go home later, you will have to burn a few more pillars of incense in front of the Bodhisattva."
"Lord Fang, please, just stop," Wen Sen pulled Fang Zheng's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice.
"Comrade Wen, your position is very unfirm, where are you standing?" Fang Zheng glared at him dissatisfied.
King Shou and his guards went back to the house angrily, and Sun Ge followed the guards to the end. When passing by Fang Zheng's side, he deliberately glanced at Fang Zheng more, he was a little curious about Fang Zheng, such a character, I really can't see what he has to do, why Pan Wenyuan's rebellion failed before, and now the prince's rebellion also sees that the defeat is decided, including tonight, King Shou went out of the city to try big things, and this person intentionally or unintentionally destroyed Ping Pong He relied on luck in the end. Or is he hiding himself deeply?
Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Sun Ji look at him, why is this guy looking at me? Jealous of my handsomeness?
After thinking about it, when King Shou left Beijing, why did he have this person dressed as a literati with him? King Shou was making a fuss about going out of the city in the middle of the night, which was already a bit strange, and he was still following this catty. The literati who seem to be soft and unscathing are even more weird.
There is a conspiracy, Shouwang, this guy has a big conspiracy,,
"Stop!" Before Fang Zheng could think about it, he immediately opened his mouth and stopped King Shou and the others.
Vinson's face collapsed when he heard this, and he almost cried bitterly.
He can see that Lord Fang is determined to get along with King Shou tonight, "What can I do?"
"Master Fang, what else can you teach?" King Shou turned around and stared at Fang Zheng and sneered.
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Don't dare to teach, the lower official sees that this scribe next to His Highness is quite familiar, so he wants to ask, dagger, and ask the prince for forgiveness." King Shou glanced at Sun Zhen gloomily, snorted coldly, didn't say more, stood far away, and didn't move. If you endure this breath, why not continue to endure it? Now that Fang Zheng is powerful, even if he puts on the shelf of the prince, I'm afraid he won't necessarily buy it.
Fang Zheng ordered Wen Sen to bring Sun Ge to him, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, your surname?" ”
Sun Gui was apprehensive, and said with a forced smile: "Don't dare, the surname is Sun." ”
"Oh? Grandson's grandson? ”
"You", my lord, how do you curse people? Sun Ji was quite angry.
"Hey, you're uneducated, aren't you? This grandson is not his grandson, but a sage in the Spring and Autumn Period" Fang Zheng smiled kindly, patted Sun Gui's shoulder and said, "This is a compliment to you." ”
"This" is good, grandson of grandson. Sun Ji kept his face calm and pinched his nose to accept Fang Zheng's praise.
"Mr. Sun is running an errand in Shouwang Mansion?"
"Not bad."
"Any job?"
This "has no real job, just a doorman"
"Doorman?" Fang Zheng's eyes widened, and he quietly tugged at Wen Sen's sleeve again: "Hey, he's the one who watches the gate of the Shouwang Mansion?" ”
Vinson's head is full of black lines; "My lord, the meaning of the doorman is the staff"
Staff?
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, he always heard others talk about the staff and staff, but now he finally sees him alive.
He glanced at Sun Ge with interest. Fang Zheng asked, "Are you really a staff member?" Shou Wang's staff? ”
Sun Gui looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously, he didn't understand why this adult was so excited when he heard about the staff.
"Yes, it is the staff of the Shouwang Mansion below." Sun Fu replied honestly.
"Great!" Fang Zheng cheered, then smiled all over his face, and patted Sun Feng's shoulder vigorously. is as affectionate as two brothers: "Come, give me a batch of eight characters"
And everybody was stunned.
"Batch" eight characters? Sun Ge felt that the cold sweat on his head seemed to be flowing more and more: "under the bottom" will not criticize the eight characters
"Won't?" Fang Zheng's face sank. Slightly disappointed, and then excitedly put out his left hand: "That,, give me the phase." ”
Sun Gui's face fell, what did this unobtrusive guy think of himself? Divine sticks?
"My lord, I don't know how to read palmistry."
"Counting the passing years?"
"Marriage, career, wealth, and heirs?"
"You'll always be able to measure words, right?"
Sun Gui's head was about to shake off, and at this moment he had a sense of sadness that he wanted to cry without tears, and his eyes looked at King Shou who was blue not far away.
Fang Zheng didn't get the answer he wanted, and couldn't help but be disappointed, then put away his smile and hummed dissatisfiedly: "This won't be, that won't be." How did you become a staff member? ”
Sun Gui finally shed tears of grief and indignation: "My lord, the staff is not a god, are you still unreasonable?" ”
Sun Shame's face was full of grievances, and he glanced at King Shou, King Shou's face was getting darker and darker, and his eyebrows were ready to attack, Sun Ge made a reassuring gesture to King Shou in time, and King Shou finally snorted heavily and stopped speaking.
All this fell in Fang Zheng's eyes, and in a flash of thought, Fang Zheng felt more and more that this Sun Zheng must know a lot of secrets of King Shou.
Now at the foot of Shenlie Mountain, the prince is about to be cleaned up by the emperor, and it is a foregone conclusion that the fat man will be enthroned as the prince. Then the fat man will become the prince, and this will be full of variables.
Thinking that Young Master Fang, who would resign after the fat man became the crown prince, how could he allow others to come out with moths and affect his grand plan of leisurely enjoyment? No matter what, arrest this grandson and hand him over to Wen Sen for careful interrogation, it doesn't matter if you offend King Shou, anyway, you already have a grudge against him, but you just didn't tear your face, so why not tear your face with him tonight?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately turned his face and said: "I don't care, anyway, I think you are a person who is unlearned and unskilled, and your appearance is obscene, which greatly affects the humanistic image of my capital, come on, arrest him for Lao Tzu and interrogate him carefully!" Lao Tzu suspected that he was a spy lurking beside His Royal Highness King Shou, "only."
That's when Vinson began to find a taste.
Lord Dare to Love, this is deliberately finding fault. I want to arrest this grandson and interrogate him, so as to target Shou
This.
When the guards heard the order, they immediately stood up and dragged Sun Ji left and right, and dragged him back.
"Fang Zheng! You: "You're so presumptuous!" In front of this king, he dared to arrest the people in this king's house. Who lent you your leopard gall? Dare to be so disrespectful to this king? King Shou finally couldn't help but burst into anger
Road.
"Lord Wang, the lower official is ordered by the emperor to guard the capital, and all suspicious people or things, the lower official has the right to track down and interfere, and please forgive the prince, after the routine interrogation, the lower official will return this Mr. Sun to you unharmed."
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Help me! Sun Ge's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly cried out loudly.
King Shou's eyes were blood-red, this Sun Luo knew too many secrets about him, and he was a weak literati, if Fang Zheng took him away for interrogation, within half an hour, he would definitely dig out his secrets, and then something would be wrong.
Fang Zheng, a scoundrel, didn't expect his mind to be so vicious, he obviously wanted to kill this king.
Thinking of this, King Shou's eyes flashed with fierce light, either the fish died, or the net was broken! This king simply got rid of Fang Zheng, the dog thief, today, and then killed him out of the city, as long as he goes out of the city, who in the world can stop him?
"Do it, kill!" King Shou suddenly waved his hand and gave an order to the guards around him.
No one expected that King Shou would suddenly order Fang Zheng to be killed, including his guards, everyone was stunned, and then his guards immediately understood, quickly drew their blades, and attacked Fang Zheng not far away.
Fang Zheng was bent on catching Sun to pick up the little fish. Then he touched the melon, maybe he could try out the big conspiracy of King Shou, and remove obstacles for the fat man who was about to become the prince, but he didn't think that although this trick was right, he still underestimated King Shou's decisive determination to kill, and his various actions tonight, especially the matter of wanting to seize Sun Zhen's strict interrogation, have aroused King Shou's strong murderous intention.
Dozens of Shou Wang's guards took advantage of Fang Zheng's guards before they could react, their swords were unsheathed, and the bright light of gold and iron reflected their murderous faces, and they quickly stepped forward and pointed at Fang Zheng obliquely.
"Sharp man!"
"Be careful, sir!" Vinson and the guards were in a hurry, and when they reacted, they were too late to rescue.
Fang Zheng's eyes widened, he took a few steps back, and shouted in horror: "Ah, His Royal Highness King Yishou, I was wrong!" I'll let you out of town."
"Kill!" What answered him was the violent chorus of Shouwang's guards.
Several swords were already less than a foot away from Fang Zheng. Vinson and the guards were still standing more than a foot away from him. Everyone was in a hurry, and they rushed forward, desperately waving their swords and leaning towards Fang Zheng, but after all, King Shou's guards were born in the border army after a hundred battles, and they practiced the real kung fu of fighting and fighting, and they were full of tacit understanding, and they were quite successful in the joint attack between advance and retreat. Fang Zheng's guards tried their best to rescue. But for a while, they couldn't break through the small they formed
Vincent looked at Xue Liang and the blade sword shadow of the "drawer" and the sword shadow Yu Dan wine near Fang Zheng, and his heart couldn't help but shrug away.
If Lord Fang had three longs and two shorts, under the emperor's fury, he and this group of guards would have to be beheaded due to poor guards, and at this moment, Wen Sen seemed to feel that the whole day had collapsed.
Fang Zheng looked at the knife light that had almost reached his neck with despair, and his heart couldn't help but be discouraged. Careless, or careless! Knowing this, I would have just let King Shou out of the city, and he didn't recruit me or provoke me, why did I keep thinking about getting along with him?
Horror and remorse filled Fang Zheng's mind at this time.
Today, I'm afraid I can't escape the fate of dying on the spot. Fang Zheng lamented in despair in his heart, at this time he was leaning against the closed city gate, King Shou's guards made a surprise move, took the lead, and surrounded him in a fan shape, his own strength to escape is useless at this moment, "It's over, in such a desperate situation, unless it is an immortal, who can save himself?"
Fang Zheng, who was trembling all over, opened his mouth wide with a pale face, he wanted to shout for help, and he wanted to say something"
But King Shou's guards wouldn't give him another chance at all, the steel knife and the sharp sword were getting closer and closer to him, Fang Zheng stared at the knife light on his neck in horror, and the snow-bright blade reflected his desperate and pale face.
Very handsome, so handsome when he dies,,
This thought flashed through Fang Zheng's mind.
God stops. Under.
The fighting between the two armies has become white-hot. The lush plains below the mountain were already full of corpses and stumps, and the red and piercing blood had spread all over the verdant plains. With the horrific corpses and the ragged banners, blades, and arrows everywhere, the entire battlefield looked like a hell cursed by demons, and the thick blood attracted flocks of crows, circling and wailing over the plains, waiting for an opportunity to fall and peck at the corpses.
The rebels' circular defensive formations had shrunk smaller and smaller, and the rebel soldiers were tired and frightened, but they still gritted their teeth, clenched their spears and shields, and fought desperately against any enemy who tried to break through their formation.
At this moment, fear and fear are useless, only to fight to the death, grit your teeth and wait for the outcome of the war, victory, or death, and that's it.
The prince and Fan Rui are still in the military tent, and the rebels' circular defensive array is centered on the prince's military tent and expands to all sides, so it is still safe in the military tent at present.
Fan Rui's face had become more and more gray. Even his voice seemed to tremble slightly: "Your Highness." The border army of Chai Mengshan will not come! We are already exhausted, Your Highness "Break through, let's retreat to the north, accumulate strength, and make a comeback." Years later. His Highness still has a chance to ascend to the Great Treasure
The prince's face was no better, but he still shook his head stubbornly, and then glanced at Sisi, who was sitting in the corner without sorrow and fear, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, we have come this far. Lone will not retreat no matter what, if he retreats today, Lonely's rest of his life may be like the lost dog, and there is no place for Lone in the world,"
But, "Your Highness! Our strength is less than 20,000, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and if we continue to fight, the defeat is already decided, if Your Highness does not retreat, are you willing to be beheaded by the emperor or imprisoned for life? Fan Rui said anxiously.
The prince looked stunned, got up and lifted the curtain of the military tent, and glanced at the battlefield outside where the fighting was still fierce.
Van Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Wrong, lose all the games! They miscalculated the emperor's scheming, and now they must pay a terrible price for their mistakes. 50,000 private troops, more than 30,000 killed, this is the price!
Although he didn't want to admit it, Fan Rui couldn't deceive himself, this battle, the prince and he did lose.
But the prince suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and he didn't stop for a long time, laughing so much that even tears flowed out.
Fan Rui looked at the prince inexplicably, his heart full of fear. has fallen into such a desperate situation, how can the prince still laugh?
The crown prince wiped the tears from his laughter and said, "Sir, it's good that you underestimated your father, but you also underestimated me!" ”
"Your Highness, why do you say this?"
The prince snorted coldly: "In this battle, Lone did lose a game first, but Lone still has the strength to come back."
Fan Rui was taken aback: "Your Highness means."
The prince smiled slightly, pointed to the soldiers of the private army who were fighting bloodily outside the military tent, and said coldly: "They fought for Lone, their sacrifice bought time for Lone, and when Long Wu and Long Xiang's two armies felt that they could eat Lone's remnants in one bite, they would then form an encirclement of Lone, at that time."
The prince smiled and looked up at the top of the mountain. Said leisurely: "That's okay." At that time, the father emperor would find that there was a strange army, which was coming from the north of Shenlie Mountain, and the old man appeared behind him unconsciously, and then the army was empty. The top of the mountain, which has no defense, will be taken down in one fell swoop, and all the ministers and fathers who are standing on the top of the mountain to watch the show will be captured" The two armies of Longwu and Longxiang are now busy surround the private army that annihilated Gu, and they are far away from the top of the mountain, so they are too late to rescue" Sir, you tell Gu again, what do you think of the current situation. Who will be the winner? ”
"Odd soldiers? Your Highness, how can you still have a strange soldier" Fan Rui frowned suspiciously, and then suddenly his eyes widened, staring at the prince with a complicated expression, with a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed, and blurted out: "Your Highness, it turns out that "you actually have a private army"
The prince laughed when he heard this, and there was a little smugness in his laughter: "This matter has been kept secret by Lone, and even you, Mr., have never told it." In order to wait for this jade, this moment! ”
At this moment, Fan Rui suddenly understood completely.
It turned out that the crown prince had two armies, one of which was in front of them, fighting bloodily for them. And there were heavy casualties. The crown prince used their casualties and sacrifices to attract the attention of the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang, and when the two armies were far away from the emperor on the top of the mountain, at that time, the other army of the prince would quietly attack Shenlie Mountain, capture the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs who were watching the battle on the top of the mountain, and the battle would be decided.
Brilliant strategy, deep city, the prince finally showed his full strength at this moment.
It turned out that he didn't count on the border army of Chai Mengshan at all, nor did he count on this private army that was fighting desperately to the death, he bet all his money on another private army that had never been known.
Fan Rui looked fixedly at the sneering prince. For no reason, I felt the coldness and chill of my bones. Such a person will be an emperor in the future, and will it be a curse or a blessing to the people and ministers? Fan Rui shook his head vigorously, shaking off the ridiculous idea that suddenly popped up.
What does it matter to me whether the people live or die?
"When the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang divide their troops and intend to encircle us, we will retreat to the north, and then another strange army will go north out of Shenlie Mountain, with the right combination, with the odd victory, the big thing can be decided!" The prince smiled faintly.
Sisi, who was sitting in the corner and hung his head silently, suddenly frowned slightly when he heard the words.
