Text Section 60 The horses are coming
Seeing Feng Zhun's nervous appearance, Yu Ban smiled slightly. He knew that Feng Zhun would be wrong, but Yu Ban really had the idea of forcing the palace. Only, that's the last step.
Yu Ban smiled faintly, "Master Feng doesn't have to be nervous, it's not that step yet." Advice is just a strategy. If there's a good idea, why not. After tomorrow morning, you can make an appointment with Chu Baoxiong, the servant of the ministry, and let's go to visit the old Hanlin Wang Shidu. ”
Feng Zhun was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing with that old thing, he is just a smelly and hard stone, soft and hard." An old guy who fasted into the coffin, ignored him. ”
"Old Hanlin's upright character is so upright that he can be used by me. His Majesty has been delayed in the matter of establishing the prince, and he can ask Lao Hanlin to add another fire to him. The clearer the situation is, the better it is for us. ”
"Lord Xiangguo, that old thing is not the same as us. Even if Wang Shidu writes about the establishment of the prince, I am afraid it will not be the third prince Dezhang. Lao Hanlin loves the second prince Deqing very much, and will definitely jointly recommend Prince Deqing to His Majesty to take the throne. Feng Zhun said worriedly.
Yu Ban smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter who makes the prince, the key is to see who is behind it." Emperor Yuning was not the crown prince back then, and it was not because of us courtiers that he sat on the throne. As long as Emperor Yuning dares to stand, it will be like a pool of spring water falling on a boulder, and those royal relatives will not be so calm. With Emperor Yuning's current body, it is difficult to say whether he can bear the crisis after he became a prince. ”
Feng Zhun looked at Yu Ban with a gloomy smile on his face, and he realized that the battle of Kyoto that Lord Xiangguo was referring to was the battle of Lichu. Emperor Yuning has worked hard day and night during his reign for many years, and he should recuperate for a period of time as soon as possible. When the disasters continue today, the people are struggling to make a living, and the military system is complex and disordered, if there is another dispute between the princes, it will be the last straw for Emperor Yuning. If it is said that Yushan Pass is a pair of medicines, the matter of establishing a reserve is really Emperor Yuning's intestinal poison.
This reminded Feng Zhun of the scene when Emperor Yuning seized the throne, the first emperor's life was still hanging by a thread, and the palace became a battlefield for the princes. Flesh and blood fought for each other, and no one cared about the first emperor who still had a trace of breath. Now it seems that the reincarnation of heaven is simply unpleasant, and the royal dilemma has now fallen on the head of Emperor Yuning.
Yushan Pass, the city gate faced each other for three days, and many caravans gathered outside the city gate waiting to enter the pass. Compared to the soldiers and horses of the northern battalion, all the black-armored guards were always vigilant. After all, they understood that the holy decree came first, and the northern camp was nothing more than a retreat. Once Coach Wei Ran's military order arrives first, it will be a brutal massacre. It is even said that even Lord Chincha is not spared.
Above the city, Zhang Ruming waited anxiously, this kind of waiting made him feel that time passed very slowly. Three days passed, and the other party's messenger did not arrive, which made Zhang Ruming secretly relieved.
As soon as the sky dawned the next day, Zhang Ruming and others immediately stood at the head of the city, anxiously waiting. Because you know, today will most likely be the last chance. Whether it is a decree or a military order, it should appear today.
Feng Zhengcheng was also very strange in his heart, it was said that Wei Shuai's military order would not arrive during the day yesterday, and it would arrive at night. This kind of urgent military affairs are carried out day and night, how can there be no news at all. Feng Zhengcheng didn't believe that Wei Shuai would be indifferent, after all, this matter would damage the prestige of his life.
Duan Lang stood in the city and looked into the distance, Da Fei had not returned in the past few days, which couldn't help but make him a little worried. Fortunately, there were many businessmen gathered outside the city, and Duan Lang believed that Tangtai Mingyue should have gotten the news. In any case, these people have done their best, even if they can't stop the footsteps of the army, Duan Lang believes that they can also exchange Fang Yan's peace.
Duan Lang was waiting for the news blankly, and Li Jianshan behind him quietly touched him and motioned to follow him. Li Jianshan has been sneaky these days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with, and Duan Lang is not in the mood to ask about these idle things.
"Brother Li, now I can't leave for a moment, please have something to say." Duan Lang said in a depressed mood.
"Come with me, I have something important to tell you."
Li Jianshan didn't care whether Duan Lang agreed or not, and pulled him along the passage of the city wall to the distance. After a while, the two came to the corner of the city wall.
Duan Lang couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are you here?" Duan Lang found that He Lianjia was actually standing next to the battlements with his hands behind his back.
He Lianjia looked at Li Jianshan, "Master Li, let's talk about it." ”
Li Jianshan nodded, and pointed to an inconspicuous place at the corner of the city wall with his hand, "See, there is a rope there, and my people have already answered outside the city." As soon as the military order from the northern battalion arrives first, you immediately flee from here with Lord Shangguan. Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, as long as Lord Shangguan is alive, the game of chess in Yushanguan will not be finished. ”
Duan Lang was stunned, it turned out that Li Jianshan had been sneaking out for the past two days, and he was planning this matter. But He Lianjia also participated, which surprised Duan Lang.
Duan Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I promised the Black Armor Guard brothers to fight side by side with them. Brother Li, Lord Qincha will hand it over to you, or you take him away. ”
Without waiting for Li Jianshan to refuse, He Lianjia hurriedly said, "No, Commander Duan must follow Lord Shangguan together." There are not many souls in the city, and it is nothing to have less of you. Only if you escort Lord Qincha back to the capital can you clear the grievances of your dead brothers. In addition, Master Li and I have special identities, and they won't treat us well. Moreover, Lord Li stayed in the city, so that it was convenient to wait for His Majesty's holy decree to arrive. Otherwise, even if the decree arrives, it will fall into the hands of the northern camp. ”
"Brother Duan Lang, there's no need to shirk, this is not the time to be rash. I believe that the brothers of the Black Armor Guards under the city will also support you in doing so. Li Jianshan said without refusal.
Duan Lang walked over and looked at the rope, then came back and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first, when it comes to a crisis, I will make a wise choice." Let's go, go to the city first, and hopefully never need this rope. ”
Duan Lang did not agree, nor did he refuse, he was ready to give this opportunity to Cui Zhiliang. Although Duan Lang hadn't read for a few years, he would never give up on his brothers and escape alone. is like the big bear back then, who did not abandon him after a lot of hardships. Da Xiong is still like this, and it has also deeply affected Duan Lang.
Duan Lang returned to the city gate and glanced at Cui Zhiliang, who was guarding Zhang Ruming's side, Duan Lang hesitated and didn't say anything. He planned to entrust Zhang Ruming to him again when he was in danger.
Time passed little by little, and it seemed to pass very slowly while waiting. Zhang Ruming's eyes were in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere on the city wall was oppressive and unsettling. The soldiers and horses of the northern battalion were also withdrawn by Sun Gang, leaving only 3,000 firearms battalions and 2,000 heavy armored cavalry. The city gate was narrow, and there were too many people to put on a position, and Sun Gang believed that these five thousand soldiers and horses were enough to kill all the black armor guards.
The two sides waited in silence, and just after the hour, they saw a fast horse galloping towards them. Duan Lang and the others stood tall and looked far away, and even Zhang Ruming stood up nervously. At the gates, everyone prayed silently with one heart that the messenger from Kyoto was the messenger of Kyoto.
There were still three arrows away from the city gate, and the man on the horse held aloft a bamboo tube sealed with fire paint, panting and shouting loudly.
"Wei Dashuai ~ military order to ~ General Sun Gang to receive the order!"
Just this shout made the hearts of Duan Lang and the others suddenly cool to the bottom of their hearts. It seems that they lost in the race against time. The eyes of all the Black Armor Guard brothers gradually revealed a fierce light from the loss. Everyone knew what was waiting for them next, and no one believed that Coach Wei Ran would mercifully let them go. Everyone threw down their shields and drew their swords, waiting for the last moment.
At this moment, seeing that the herald was still an arrow away, suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky, and Da Fei's sharp claws grabbed the bamboo tube, and even the herald was pulled off the horse. Da Fei let out a wail, grabbed the bamboo tube containing the military order and staggered into the air.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, especially the generals of the northern battalion, who opened their mouths in surprise. Duan Lang's eyesight was superhuman, but he found that Da Fei's left wing had a sharp arrow stuck in it!
