Chapter 228: The Bianzhou Coup

"Biaozi, do you mean to let me go and walk the news of Zheng Fan's coup d'Γ©tat to Zhu Quanzhong?" As soon as Long San entered the city and got in touch with Biaozi, he was stunned by the other party's words, and it was rare to say a complete sentence.

"Yes, that's it, there should already be a war on the Texas side. You have to find a way to pass the news to Zhu Quanzhong and make him go crazy on the battlefield, so as to cooperate with the Central Plains Command and completely disintegrate the Xuanwu Army. Biaozi's idea was right, but when Long San spread the news to Texas, the Texas War was in full swing, and Zhu Quanzhong didn't have the heart to pay attention to the news at all, and it was too late when he came back to his senses after this battle.

After Long San left, Biaozi stood alone in the night sky and quietly watched the city of Bianzhou tonight, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, and the history of Bianzhou will turn a new page from tonight.

"Leader, the first brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade has entered the designated position and is waiting for orders." The people of the secret guard under the courtyard where Biaozi is located keep sending new news, and new developments are also coming.

"Go and inform the Dragon Group and the Flying Eagle Brigade and the manpower we control in Bianzhou, and wait for Zhu Youshu and the others to withdraw and start immediately." Biaozi looked at the sky and nodded vigorously to the deputy beside him.

"Let's go, order everyone in the branch to pack up and follow me to Zhu Quanzhong's mansion to see how this puppet emperor is doing." Biao Zi watched his deputy give the final order, and smiled slightly, he had been lurking in Bianzhou and other places for more than a year, and this was the final harvest season.

On the night of the first month of August in 891 AD, Zhu Youqi, with the assistance of Zheng Fan and others, formally established the Great Liang Imperial Court in Bianzhou City, and established himself as the emperor, and Zhu Quanzhong of Dezhou was the emperor. He announced a truce and publicly stated that he wanted to reach a peace agreement with the Tiance Mansion. And then ordered the Xuanwu Army on the front line in Dezhou to immediately withdraw to Zizhou and other places to standby, and killed all the families and subordinates of the front-line officers arrested before, and the rest of Zhu Quanzhong's sons except for Zhu Youshu escaped and Zhu Youwen on the front line in Dezhou, the rest of the sons were all killed, and they were charged with the unwarranted charges of communicating with foreign countries and plotting to usurp the dynasty.

In fact, these are not the most important things, Zheng Fan also knows that with these messy reasons and excuses found by Zhu Youqi, they can't stand scrutiny at all. But Zheng Fan didn't need to think about anything, his purpose was to block Youyou's mouth by killing and creating chaos, and then give himself time to coerce the people and officials to quickly withdraw from Bianzhou.

However, just as Zheng Fan and Zhu Youqi were busy seizing the throne, killing people, and announcing their withdrawal from Bianzhou, the men of the Xuanying Guard's secret guard also began to act, and the people of the Dragon Group were responsible for rescuing people, and rescuing those who were worthy of action among the stalwarts in the Xuanwu military system from their respective mansions or prisons and then entering secret hiding places. The first brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade was hiding at the gate of Dongcheng, in addition to receiving the withdrawal of Zhu Youshu's people from Bianzhou, it was also responsible for intercepting and killing Zhu Youshu's pursuers. For his younger brother, Zhu Youshu is unforgettable, Zhu Youshu has mastered a huge amount of wealth because he is in charge of the canal trade route, which is also the motivation for him to finally choose to cooperate with Biaozi to protect himself.

The 500 people of the 1st Brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade were divided into three groups, one group rescued people, one group intercepted the pursuers, and one group was responsible for escorting Zhu Youshu's final convoy through the East City Gate. The defenders of the East City Gate were relatives of Zhu Youshu, so the entire retreat plan was chosen at the East Gate.

In this way, the entire Bianzhou City is extremely strange, Zhu Youqi kills people everywhere, and Zhu Youshu constantly withdraws people around the east city gate, and both sides can't take care of each other for a while, and they are busy dealing with their own affairs.

However, in the chaos, Biao Zi led a team of men and horses through the chaotic scene on both sides and touched the center of Bianzhou City, the former Liang Palace, which is now the Great Liang Palace.

Zhu Quanzhong did a good job in self-enjoyment, this fake palace was decorated with gold and splendor, beautiful, and imitated the scenery and architecture of the Luoyang Palace everywhere, and even the names of many architectural palaces were directly used without changing. Biao Zi came to Zhu Quanzhong's Qinzheng Hall through the hall, and directly touched Zhu Quanzhong's jade seal, and then ignored the fact that the palace was also in chaos at this time, and the palace maids and eunuchs were crying and running around, so they planned to go out directly, but they didn't expect Zhu Youqi to bump into each other head-on.

"It's really bad luck tonight." After Biao Zi scolded secretly, he saw that Zhu Youqi was already walking towards him, so he immediately changed his path and cut it in from the side. It's just that Zhu Youqi came to the palace to take the jade seal into his hands and take it away, although this Liang jade seal is actually an imitation, but for Zhu Youqi, it is an authentic heirloom jade seal.

Zhu Youqi was interested in finding the Hall of Merit that kept the jade seal, but found that there was no trace of the jade seal at all. The palace is much more familiar to Zhu Youqi than Biaozi, and soon Biaozi heard the shouting sound from behind, and knew that he had been discovered, so he immediately handed over the jade seal directly to the deputy to take it away, and led the others to find a courtyard to ambush. After a while, Zhu Youqi sent someone to come over directly, and the two fought almost instantly.

"Who the hell are you? Trespassing into the palace is a murderous crime, what do you want to do? Zhu Youqi led the team to surround and kill Biaozi, and at the same time shouted loudly.

Biao Zi sneered: "Zhu Youqi, what calf do you want to give me, just because you are worthy of asking me?" Let me tell you, you want to find the jade seal, in the next life. Biao Zi slashed down one of the people next to him with a knife and rushed out directly. Zhu Youqi was about to lead someone to rush forward, but was stopped.

"Childe, forget it, don't chase it. Jade Seal was found. Zheng Fan's voice came from behind Zhu Youqi.

"Found the jade seal?" Zhu Youqi stopped when he heard this, and asked strangely: "Ben Gongzi obviously went to look for it just now, but there is nothing in the Hall of Merit?" ”

Zheng Fan stepped forward and held a brocade box in his hand, and after opening it, it was a jade seal carved from the bright yellow warm jade that Zhu Quanzhong had used before, but Zheng Fan's face was a little unnatural. The jade seal of the Tang Dynasty was taken away by Han Quanhai, and Zhu Quanzhong had no choice but to ask Zheng Fan to send someone to re-carve one. In fact, Zheng Fan made two identical ones at that time, one of which was the one that Biaozi took just now, and what he took out now was a spare one, and no one knew about this matter except himself.

However, Zhu Youqi obviously didn't think about it so much, and after taking the jade seal, he happily played with it for a while, then put it away and asked directly: "Military Master, what should we do next?" ”

This sentence also made Zheng Fan change his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I have already prepared all the Praetorian Guards, there are already 100,000 people and 50,000 troops near Bianzhou City, let's immediately set off to withdraw from Bianzhou, and the first step is to use the canal to reach Yunzhou, General Kang Huaiying is already there to meet us." When the time comes, our soldiers and civilians will cross the sea together and go to Samhan, gain a foothold there, avoid the Tiance army, and then try to achieve a great cause. ”

"The Sanhan region is a barbarian land for us and other China, why did we choose to go there? Isn't Gangnam very good? "Zhu Youqi is a little resistant to going to Sanhan.

Zheng Fan didn't have time to explain so much at this time, but replied: "After the Tiance Army takes the Central Plains, it will inevitably march into Jiangnan, and we will not have time to develop ourselves and fight against the Tiance Army after we arrive in Jiangnan." Only Samhan has the right geographical location, and I have been to Samhan in the early years, there is a detailed map, Childe can go with peace of mind, we have soldiers and people, and we will quickly recover our vitality in Samhan. ”

"Okay, in that case, let's retreat immediately without delay, if the father knows about Bianzhou, he will inevitably send a large army to come, and it will be too late then." Zhu Youqi was very convinced of Zheng Fan, and said that there was no way to retreat at this time, so he didn't say much at the moment, and immediately led the Praetorian Guards to retreat from Nancheng after the two converged, and arranged for people to take boats along the canal.

I have to say that Zheng Fan has been preparing for more than a day today, almost after the incident on the Bianzhou side, all kinds of ships quickly gathered and docked at the Bianzhou wharf, and the entire canal was filled with large and small ships. The high-ranking and nobles of Bianzhou who were attached to Zhu Youqi were the first to board the ship and then leave, and then the families of the army boarded the ship. After the departure of a group of boats, the follow-up immediately approached the pier and waited, in an orderly manner.

When Zheng Fan and Zhu Youqi were racing against time to transport people to leave Bianzhou along the canal by boat overnight, Xue Yang and Xu Ying were also waiting for the Bianzhou wharf to watch the excitement.

"These noble families are gone, and the next step should be the people. Isn't it time for us to intercept? Xu Ying asked as he looked at the shouting voice coming from in front of him.

Xue Yang shook his head and said: "Brother, don't worry, let's rush out when their army boards the ship, then Zheng Fan will inevitably give up most of the people for the army, so that we can keep the people, otherwise, tens of thousands of troops will fight in the crowd, and the biggest loss will probably be these innocent people." So let's wait. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect your kid to have a calm personality. Okay, let's wait, I don't know if the arrangement of Xuan Yingwei in the city has been completed, but the ones who ran away just now are all big fish, if this takes away all the gold and silver treasures, it is estimated that Mr. Cen should find the lord to cry poor again. Xu Ying smiled.

"The Flying Eagle Brigade is here, it shouldn't be bad. Besides, when did our Commander Hu let go of the opportunity to make a fortune? Xue Yang remembered that Hu Xiaosi's personality was also secretly funny, and he had no doubts about the things in Bianzhou City, but said to Li Yang, who was silent beside him: "Later, I will lead a team of people to quickly detour through Dongcheng into Bianzhou and take over Bianzhou City." ”

"Look, Zheng Fan and Zhu Youqi are on the boat. This Zheng Fan's ability is a bit big, when did he build such a big building ship, this head is not small. It's almost the size of the ironclad battleship of the Navy Department. Xu Ying stared ahead and shouted.

"Brother, don't look at it, let's prepare immediately, Li Yang will lead the army to the city, and our two armies will cut off Zheng Fan's manpower from the east and west." Xue Yang stood up and set off quickly with his third battalion, behind which Xu Ying led people to start backlashing at the opponent's army near the dock, while Li Yang's army began to detour through the northern city to the eastern city controlled by Xuan Yingwei. The movement of these three parties immediately led to a night of fighting outside Bianzhou City. Xue Yang's troops were the first to dispatch, and they were the fastest, disrupting the deployment of the Praetorian Guard and the people's militia in the rear before the Xuanwu Army could react, tearing a hole in the junction of the two sides to cover the mountain battalion's rapid counterattack on the opponent's formation.

This action suddenly made Zheng Fan, who had already boarded the ship, unable to sit still, but at this time, nearly half of the Praetorian Guards had already boarded the ship, and the remaining ships were also constantly full of people and ready to set off.

In the chaos, Zheng Fan tried his best to get all the Praetorian Guards to board and leave, and as for the people, Zheng Fan was already hopeless after the Tiance Army appeared. However, after losing the restraints of the people, the speed of the Xuanwu army boarding the ship increased significantly, and Xue Yang and Xu Ying obviously did not want to force Zheng Fan too much, so they stopped the army after intercepting most of the people, but instead drew a large number of troops and began to settle the people.

And Zhu Youqi, who was on the boat, was worried when he saw that the people did not keep up, for the Zhu family father and son, the people are still very important, at least in history, Zhu Quanzhong and his follow-up heirs still spent a lot of energy on the people.

"Don't worry, Childe, I have asked Kang Huaiying to gather the people in the Dengzhou area before, so even if Bianzhou makes a mistake, Dengzhou can still make up for it." Zheng Fan didn't have that much thought.

"Mr. is really a step and three plans, admiration and admiration." Zhu Youqi was also relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile.

After relieving their minds, the two began to enjoy the scenery along the way. However, at this time, the city of Bianzhou was in chaos, hundreds of thousands of people outside the city mourned, and the riots broke out again after the killing in the city was just over, and all kinds of characters began to smash and loot in the city of Bianzhou, taking advantage of the chaos to make a fortune. After Li Yang led the army into the city, he immediately ordered the army to start encircling and suppressing those who were in rebellion, and asked Zhu Youshu to intervene to let the remaining officials maintain order and enforce the curfew policy. Outside the city, Xu Ying and Xue Yang scattered the entire army into the crowd to persuade the people to wait quietly, and promised to escort each of them home in the name of the Tiance Army.

For the whole night, in addition to pacifying the people and besieging and killing the rioters, the 30,000-strong army did its best and was busy until three o'clock in the morning, and gradually returned to normal. Xue Yang immediately sent someone to summon Wan Yi, who was sitting in Luoyang, to send troops to support, and if necessary, he could consider giving up the attack on Zhengzhou, taking Bianzhou as the central point, and redeploying the western strategy, while at the same time, the messengers sent by Xuanyingwei to Dezhou, the headquarters of the Central Plains, also quickly left the city.

The biggest reaction to this inexplicable coup was actually Tiance Army, Xue Yang and Xu Ying felt as if they had helped Zhu Quanzhong for free. But the two of them may not know what Zhu Quanzhong's mood should be when this matter reached the Xuanwu Army's Texas camp? However, at this time, the two armies on the Texas front had already started a war, and hundreds of thousands of troops had set up a battle line dozens of miles long outside Texas City, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.
