The sky finally darkened, and the officers and soldiers on the outskirts of Qianxian County had already lit piles of bonfires, and the people prepared by the county were cleaning up the corpses, otherwise in less than two days with the current weather, the corpses would rot and stink, and the entire county would be unable to live at that time.

It was the first time for the people to see so many corpses, and some of them vomited while moving, but fortunately, there were many people, and there was dead horse meat as a reward, and the corpses under the city were quickly cleaned up, while the Janissaries camped directly outside.

The county seat of Qianxian County is still too small to accommodate 4,000 officers and soldiers, but fortunately, the weather is not cold yet, and the sergeants can directly fall to the ground to rest as long as they put some hay on the ground, and the only thing to worry about is whether the rabble composed of private soldiers from various families will jump over the wall and steal the camp at night.

In order to prevent the other side from stealing the camp, the Praetorian Guard not only dug a trench outside, but also laid a row of wooden stakes, and added several times the number of sentry posts, so that even if the other side wants to sneak attack, they are not afraid, anyway, there is only one night, and tomorrow they can encircle and suppress these private soldiers.

As for whether the other party will slip away, this is not within Yang Yong's consideration at all, this official road only leads to Renshou Palace, unless these people have the courage to attack Renshou Palace, they can only go over the mountains and mountains, copy the path and leave, how many people can be taken away from the path in one night?

Even if they can all escape, Yang Yong doesn't have to care, the reason why the conspiracy is a conspiracy is that it can't see the sun, today's ambush has exposed all the participating families, if they scatter and escape, Yang Yong only needs to return to Beijing, and he can naturally mobilize the officials and soldiers from all over the country to chase and kill.

On a hillside five or six miles away from Qianxian. Piles of bonfires were also lit, and all the private soldiers who had retreated from outside Qianxian County gathered here, and the entire hillside was immersed in a depressing atmosphere, and everyone knew that the ambush of the second prince ended in failure, not to mention whether their five thousand men could break the Praetorian Guard, which was almost the same number of men, or they could break it. The crown prince can also calmly retreat to the capital. Will they still be able to deal with 50,000 Janissaries?

Thinking of this, everyone was deflated, although as soon as Old Madam Murong woke up, she immediately clamored to launch an attack while it was dark and break through the Praetorian Guard camp, but no one agreed, it was pointless to break the Praetorian Guard camp now, as long as the prince escaped, they would fail.

Huangfu Xiaohuan, Zhao Shizhu, Zhixuan, Murong Qi Li and other leaders had been discussing around the bonfire for more than an hour. I still can't think of a good way to solve the dilemma in front of me. Only Murong Qi's Li clan's voice always sounded.

"When are you hesitating to wait, and there is still a glimmer of hope if you kill it at night? Are you not as good as an old woman like me, and you are still not men? ”

Being scolded by an old woman, Huangfu Xiaohuan and the others were all on fire, and even Zhixuan couldn't help but even Xuan Buddha to suppress the anger, if it weren't for the fact that the people and horses who ambushed the Murong family this time were the most, because they rushed to the ground the fastest and suffered the most casualties. Huangfu Xiaohuan and others have already ridiculed each other.

"Master Zhixuan, your old Dharma is profound, do you know how to resolve this matter?" Zhao Shizhu pleaded.

"Amitabha, Lord Zhuguo, the poor monk still thinks that it is time to take advantage of the night. It's best to spread everyone out. ”

"Yes, yes, leaving is the best policy." Yu Wenhua and echoed the Dao, Yu Wenhua and was on behalf of Yu Wenshu to lead the family soldiers to participate in this operation, although he looked dignified. In fact, he is extremely timid. He didn't participate in the battle at all, but when he heard that there were heavy casualties, he had already retreated.

Huangfu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yu Wenhua contemptuously. Yuwenshu is also a man for a while, how did he give birth to a son who was as stupid as a pig, Zhixuan proposed to disperse and leave because there were not many people in Daxing Temple, and Daxing Temple is a royal temple, as long as they resolutely deny it, the prince is also helpless to take Daxing Temple for a while, as for the various families, now they have been exposed, scattered and left, tomorrow dawn as soon as the official army pursues, most of them will still be caught, even if the others escaped with their lives, it is still a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the family.

"No, you can't leave." Murong Qi Li screamed.

"Why can't you leave?" Zhao Shizhu said dissatisfied.

"No, why, you just can't leave, you think you can escape with your life if you leave, as long as the prince returns to the capital, which of you can escape?" Murong Qi Li said in a gloomy tone.

Murong Qi Li's words cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, but it didn't mean that they would agree to her proposal to attack the Praetorian Guards overnight, Murong Qi Li could not care about their own lives and the lives of their subordinates, but others didn't have the courage, even if they knew that they were just waiting for death to discuss here, and they could live one more day.

This discussion is destined to be fruitless, and Huangfu Xiaohuan has not expressed his position, except for fighting and fleeing, he can't come up with a better idea. The controversy lasted until midnight and could only end.

Qianxian County, is another lively scene, the whole county government is bright, in the county hall of the county government, set up a full courtyard of square tables, servants come and go to add food and wine to each table.

Today, the Praetorian Guards won their first victory at a small cost, not only killing more than 700 rebels, but also capturing more than 100 people, from which all the information was obtained, and now the prince is personally holding a celebration banquet for them.

Yang Yong raised his wine arms: "Generals, if it weren't for Er, this palace might have been poisoned by those traitors and thieves, it was you who saved the palace and the Great Sui, and the palace did it first as a respect." ”

"Your Highness is gracious." The faces of the generals of the Praetorian Guard were full of excitement, after all, there was no holy decree to transfer troops out of the palace, and they also took risks, and now the situation of the chaotic party is accurate, after this, their relationship with the prince has taken a step further, after the prince ascends the throne, they naturally have their benefits, watching the prince drink the wine, everyone drank it all.

"However, at the moment, the bandits have not been cleared, this palace knows that there may be your old acquaintances and colleagues, relatives and friends among them, you may not bear it, but they are plotting to rebel, and they must not be forgiven, this palace hopes that tomorrow everyone can make persistent efforts to put down the rebels in one fell swoop."

"Your Highness, rest assured, there will be a battle tomorrow. The last general and the others will not let go of a traitor. The generals hurriedly patted their chests and reassured.

"Very good, this palace has thanked the generals in advance, but unfortunately tomorrow's battle, this palace will rush back to the capital first, can not participate, in this palace first wish the generals success, and then do a good job!"

Although Yang Yong wanted to personally command the forbidden army and wipe out all the private soldiers. It's just that the affairs of the capital are far more important than here. Although the Praetorian Guards blocked the news, who knew if the matter here would be reported to the capital immediately, and even if it couldn't be transmitted, they could guess that those local families who participated in the ambush might break the kettle and fight to the death.

You must know that the capital is not only the foundation of each family. And it is clear that the Sanwei Forbidden Army is involved, if Yang Shuang is fine, Yang Yong doesn't have to worry at all, but once Yang Shuang's body can't bear it, he can't suppress it at all with Su Wei's old slippery head, if it sets off a big chaos in the capital, then Yang Yong won't have time to cry.

Yang Yong is not the emperor after all, and he has to take a break to return to the capital. If the Praetorian Guards want to work hard here, they naturally have to do more, which is why Yang Yong held this celebration banquet.

Hearing the prince's words, the generals agreed with a bang, and Yang Yong persuaded everyone to dine at will after another glass of wine. After all, the war is not over yet, and everyone does not dare to be too presumptuous, after the prince stopped drinking and did not drink, most of the generals just ate the vegetables and ended the banquet hastily. Return to the barracks outside.

The sky is bright. The military camp outside Qianxian County suddenly roared, and all the local Praetorian Guards were in high spirits. Prepare for the next battle, and in the city, Yang Yong also got up early, set off from the east gate, returned to the capital, yesterday in a short ten miles of road, casualties more than 30 East Palace guards, it can be said that the East Palace guards composed of the heaviest casualties, and basically all of them died, for Yang Yong's safety, He Ruobi sent another 500 forbidden troops to accompany Yang Yong back to Beijing.

Yesterday on the city tower, Yang Yong watched the whole process of the Praetorian Guards and the rebel private soldiers, although these private soldiers are not afraid of death, but compared with the Praetorian Guard, there is a big gap in terms of coordination and troops, Yang Yong can rest assured of the combat power of the Praetorian Guard, and he accepted He Ruobi's kindness.

As soon as he got out of the city, Yang Yong beckoned to Liu Hu next to him: "Liu Hu, come here." ”

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"You set off first, rush to the villa, and let Yang Shi bring the dark horse out, meet with the palace outside the capital, and enter the capital with the palace."

Liu Hu replied happily: "Yes, the last general will obey the order!" ”

Yesterday's battle can be said to be the most humiliating one for the Donggong guards, just fleeing all the way to lose one-eighth of the troops, they can't participate in the later battles, and today they can only rush back to the capital, it can be said that everyone has a fire in their hearts. Now that he wants to secretly ride into Beijing, it means that the prince has no scruples and wants to do a big job in the capital, why doesn't Liu Hu like it?

There are only five hundred guards in the East Palace, and the strength is really weak, although this time taking the opportunity of the family's rebellion, Yang Yong can take the opportunity to take all the Praetorian Guards into his own hands, but it is impossible for Yang Yong to fully trust these Praetorian Guards, some things are not convenient for them to do, and without a completely own power, it is difficult for Yang Yong to exercise like an arm.

As for the consequences of the exposure of the secret horse, Yang Yong has not considered it, and has taken this opportunity to master the capital, even if Yang Jian's illness is cured, Yang Yong does not have to worry that his father will be furious and abolish the position of the crown prince of other places.

Huangfu Xiaohuan woke up from a nightmare, he dreamed that hundreds of his entire family were captured and beheaded by the Praetorian Guards in the eastern suburbs of the capital, even his grandchildren who were several years old, watching one by one relatives die in front of his eyes, Huangfu Xiaohuan's eyes were split, just let him shout and struggle to no avail, because he himself was also in the crowd to be beheaded.

"No!" Huangfu Xiaoxiao screamed and woke up, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, he secretly thought that it was fortunate that it was a dream, but there was no comfort at all, maybe in a few days, the scene in the dream would really happen.

I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, if I didn't report General Wang at the beginning, at most I would have lost my official position, and maybe I wouldn't have fallen to such a point, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and the emperor sighed with filial piety.

"General, general, it's not good, it's not good." A soldier stumbled over.

Huangfu Xiao resonated his clothes before asking, "What's the matter, so flustered?" "It's the worst situation right now, and no matter how bad it is, it won't get any worse.

For the calmness of his own lord, the family soldier was not infected, and stammered: "General, they ...... They ran away? ”

"What ran away?" Huangfu Xiaohuan looked around, and the hills were full of local soldiers, and there was no sign of any escape, but there seemed to be a riot on several hillsides in the distance, and all the people were in a group.

"It's the senior monks of Daxing Temple and Zhao Zhuguo."

After the explanation of the family soldiers, Huangfu Xiaohuan only knew what is not the worst, only worse, today everyone woke up, a few family soldiers found that their family owners were gone, looked around, only to find that in addition to the family owner, some of the family owner's personal guards also disappeared, everyone guessed that most of their own family owners left them alone in the middle of the night, for fear of alarming others, they only took a few close people away.

"Quick, count, who is in charge of the people left." Huangfu Xiaohuan almost yelled.

The statistics came out soon, and the people who left included Zhao Shizhu, Yu Wenhua, Pei family, Lu family, Guo family, etc., as well as all the monks of Daxing Temple, and the principals of more than a dozen families were only three or four unimportant people left in addition to his Huangfu Xiaohuan and Murong Qi Li family.

Hearing that they were abandoned by the head of the family, those family soldiers were in a mess, and without the order of the head of the family, they didn't even know what they should do.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, they think they can go?" Huangfu Xiaoxiao scolded angrily.

It's just that in Zhao Shizhu's opinion, no matter whether they can escape or not, it is better than waiting for death here, the person is gone, no matter how the emperor is filial piety, it is useless.
