Fan Bangshan expected that there would be this moment, handed over his weapons, took off his armor, followed the guards into the tent, and knelt on the ground, "The criminal minister Fan Bangshan knocks on Your Majesty." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Fan Bangshan was extremely tall, bent down into the tent, kneeling on the ground not much shorter than the person standing, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a lush beard, his head nearly doubled as a result, and his eyes seemed to be glaring angrily when they were at their most peaceful.

The four guards in the tent carefully held the hilt of their swords, their legs slightly bent, and they were always ready for battle, faintly feeling that the number was too small, and at least ten people should be left to protect the emperor.

Cui Teng's face was shocked, and he turned his head and whispered to the King of the East China Sea, "From a distance, he doesn't seem to be so tall. ”

The king of the East China Sea didn't squeak, he still couldn't accept his current identity, and any talent that Han Ruzi found, he felt that it was his own loss.

"Climbing the mountain, the warrior of material strength, the forward general who has accumulated merit and moved to the Suwei Tiger Camp, are you from Luoyang?" Han Ruzi was also secretly amazed at the tallness of this person in his heart.

"The people of Nanyang, the criminal minister, are not too far from Luoyang." Fan Bangshan wondered why the emperor's tone didn't look like angry.

"Have you been stationed in Luoyang?"

"Yes, the criminal minister used to be the captain of Luoyang City." Fan Bangshan became more and more unable to understand the emperor's intentions, and couldn't help but look up.

The four guards crouched slightly at the same time, gripping the hilt of their swords tighter, while Cui Teng and the King of the East China Sea leaned back slightly at the same time.

Han Ruzi was also startled by those two vicious gazes, and the soles of his feet involuntarily became weak, but he stood firm, did not change color, nor moved, and asked calmly: "Why do you call yourself a 'criminal minister'?" ”

Fan Bangshan lowered his head, "The criminal minister once collided with His Majesty outside the north gate of the capital, and he was treated as a criminal body, so he called himself a 'criminal minister'." ”

Fan Bangshan once charged alone with an axe in the Battle of the North Gate, which left a deep impression on Han Ruzi, and he was specially transferred to his side when he set out for the expedition, but he never had time to summon him.

"You didn't follow Shangguan Sheng to flee to the east, that is, you have been pardoned, what is the crime?"

Although the king of the East China Sea was reluctant, he still had to help the emperor speak, and said: "In the battle of the North Gate, tens of thousands of people rushed to Your Majesty, and all of them were pardoned, where did the 'body of sin' come from?" There's nothing to be afraid of. ”

Climbing the mountain's face was slightly red, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Flat." Han Ruzi said.

Fan Bangshan is also honest, he got up when he got up, and almost reached the tent, a few people could only look up, Han Ruzi took two steps back, and said: "Fan Bangshan, I appointed you as the forward general of the Chinese army, two quarters of an hour later, led an army of 1,000, broke through the enemy army, and arrived at the city of Luoyang, and announced my will to the defenders in the city: Luoyang defenders, whether old or weak, all went out of the city to meet the thief army, and those who came out later were punished, and those who disobeyed were beheaded." ”

Fan Bangshan didn't expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy task, so he knelt down again, "Obey the order." ”

Han Ruzi softened his tone slightly, "Your armor is still there, right?" ”

Fan Bangshan's face turned red again, "Here, I'll go put it on." ”

"I hope that the general will work hard, and after entering the city, I will personally serve the general's wine."

Climbing the hill and kowtowing, exiting the tent, taking bigger steps than usual.

The four guards breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Teng said with a smile: "Shangguan Sheng must regret his death, he finally found such a big man, but it turned out to be owned by His Majesty." Let me do what? Hand over the camp to me, and your majesty doesn't need to give me a drink, just let me go and have a drink." ”

"You and the King of the East Sea are both staying with me." Han Ruzi would not hand over such an important task to Cui Teng.

At the beginning of the night, smoke curled up from the camps of the thief army, and there was also smoke rising from the Chu military camp, but only the fire was lit and no cooking was made, and the soldiers were wrapped in dry food in advance.

Han Ruzi divided the 3,000 men and horses he brought into three teams, climbed the mountain and led 1,000 people to act as the vanguard, and the other two generals each led one, Han Ruzi wanted to command one by himself, but everyone objected, this was not the battle of the north gate of the capital, and it was not so critical that the emperor had to go to the battlefield in person.

Climbing the mountain and leading the troops, still carrying the iconic long axe in his hand, and stepping down on a mount that was a lap taller than an ordinary horse, he was not the kind of general who commanded well, he had always taken the lead, and this time he was even more determined to atone for his sins in front of the emperor.

A second army of 1,000 men then left the camp, and their mission was to make their way to the camp of the rebels.

Then there are Chai Yue's five thousand men and horses, ostensibly to fight with the rebels of the guards, in fact, they have to rush through the enemy camp and go to Ao Cang overnight, if everything goes well, they can arrive before midnight, if Ao Cang can hold on, of course, it is the best, if it has been lost, Chai Yue will put pressure on Shangguan Sheng, at least so that the other party will not have time to destroy too much grain and grass.

Finally, Han Ruzi's third thousand-man army, which was actually only more than 800 people, would rush into the battlefield when the enemy army was in chaos and create even greater chaos.

The emperor left a hundred people around him, Chai Yue pleaded several times, hoping that the emperor would be careful, if Luoyang City refused to send troops, the emperor would immediately turn around and retreat, and join Cui Hong's army in the rear.

Han Ruzi agreed, but he felt that there was no need for it.

Although the number of thieves is large, it is very chaotic, a small number of Su Wei rebels are used to control the camps, no one is in charge of the overall situation, and they don't care about the Chu army that rushed to support, they eat when they should eat, and when Han Ruzi climbed high and watched, he could hardly see the figure of the scout.

Another key to this battle was whether the defenders in Luoyang City were willing to fight according to orders, as far as Chai Yue knew, there were at least 3,000 soldiers in the city, and if the whole army could go out of the city, the chances of the Chu army would be greatly increased.

Fan Bang Mountain's vanguard army had already charged more than half of the charge, and the thief army reacted, this was the last scene Han Ruzi saw, and soon it was completely dark, and he could only see the torches that did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and the shouts.

Climbing the mountain to guard Luoyang for many years, he knows the path, and it is only suitable for him to break through the enemy army and go to the Luoyang city gate.

The second thousand-man army and Chai Yue's main army set off, their attack path was relatively simple, the camp of the rebels on the opposite side was built on the side of the road, and they rushed all the way along the official road.

The vanguard army that climbed the mountain fought with the thief army, and Han Ruzi couldn't see it, but he could hear it.

The shouts became louder and louder, and although the thieves lacked discipline, they were not a rabble that would disperse in a single fight, and dared to confront the officers and soldiers.

Han Ruzi estimated that Chai Yue's army should rush through the camp of the rebels, so he sent the last army of 1,000 men. Next, he could only wait and see what happened, waiting for the cooperation of the defenders of Luoyang City.

Beside him, there were only thirty guards and seventy soldiers, and then there were the East China Sea King, Cui Teng and Qu Zixi.

The sound of the fight seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the face of the King of the East China Sea changed color, and he whispered: "Luoyang City has not reacted for so long, Your Majesty should be careful." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, turned his head to Qu Zixi and asked, "Mr. Qu has been to Luoyang, is he familiar with Henan Yin?" ”

Luoyang is the seat of Henan County, and the highest official in the city is Henan Yin Han Chou, who is also a descendant of the clan, and Han Ruzi does not know much about him.

Qu Zixi's face did not change, he didn't understand the things of the war, and he didn't participate in it, he carefully grabbed the reins, he didn't seem to be very good at riding horses, and when he heard the emperor's question, he replied: "Henan Yin Hanchou is the former queen of Henan, and he should be His Majesty's uncle." At the time of the emperor, the king of Henan thought that Henan was located in the center and was not suitable for the king, so he voluntarily handed over the throne, and the emperor Dayue, renamed the king of Henan as the king of Huainan, and set up the second son as Henan Yin, and allowed it to inherit from generation to generation. ”

Han Ruzi had seen this record in the history of the country, but he didn't pay much attention to it, if it wasn't for Qu Zixi mentioning it, he wouldn't have remembered it.

"I see, when King Qi rebelled, Han Chou seemed to have made meritorious contributions, right?"

"Well, Henan Yin cooperated with Cui Taifu to defeat the rebels of Qi State, and His Majesty was enshrined Han Chou as the Marquis of Luoyang at that time, and he was only one step away from the King of Henan."

At that time, the rewards were all decided by the Queen Mother, Han Ruzi didn't remember this, and heard that Qu Zixi's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but there was a battle ahead, and he didn't ask in detail, but just wrote down the matter.

"Han Chou was willing to send troops to participate in the pacification of the Qi Rebellion, so he must have also gone out of the city to attack the thief army."

Qu Zixi didn't say anything, and the king of the East China Sea didn't speak, only Cui Teng didn't know the depths, and said: "That's not necessarily, I heard that Henan Yin is greedy for money and profit, rich in the world, in order to let him stand on the side of the court, but he gave a lot of money, as for the title of Luoyang Hou, he doesn't care, and the rules set by the emperor, their family can never be crowned king again." ”

The shouting on the battlefield in the distance continued, and it was impossible to hear who won and who lost, Han Ruzi was about to open his mouth to ask a few more words, when a sentry's voice suddenly sounded not far away, "What person?" Get your name in! ”

Thirty guards immediately gathered around the emperor.

After a while, an excited voice sounded in the wasteland on the side of the road, "The Dog Emperor is here!" Come on! Kill the Dog Emperor, and the Great Chu Jiangshan is ......"

The weapons collided, and the sentinels and the comers fought.

The king of the East China Sea immediately said, "Your Majesty, go quickly!" "With his right hand raised, he will run with the emperor as soon as he moves, and he will never be a step behind.

Cui Teng was also anxious, "Emperor's brother-in-law, you run first, and I will break later." ”

Han Ruzi didn't move, listened for a while, and ordered: "Wang He, bring nine people to support." ”

Wang He, a leader of the guards, responded to the "obey the order", jumped off the horse, waved his hand, and led his nine subordinates to run towards the confrontation, and after more than ten steps, they all drew their swords out of their sheaths.

The King of the East China Sea was shocked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you fighting with a group of thieves?" ”

"That's not a thief army, it's just a few outlaws, don't worry, the guards can deal with it." Han Ruzi said calmly, looking at the battlefield in the dark night.

"Your Majesty is sure?" The King of the East Sea was still worried.

"We can't see the thief army, and the thief army naturally can't see us, how can we send troops to rush over? This must be a fleeing bandit who came here by mistake. ”

"But the man recognized you as the emperor." The King of the East Sea even raised his voice.

"That's just a ploy to summon companions." There are more than a dozen flags behind Han Ruzi, and no one around them lights torches, so they should not be able to see clearly in the dark night, and ordinary people can't recognize the content of the flags.

The king of the East China Sea was dumbfounded, and slowly put down the horsewhip, he always felt that Han Ruzi was bold, but in the past, Han Ruzi was just a puppet and a deposed emperor, his life was in the hands of others, and he had to take risks, but now he is a real emperor, and his courage is still so big, the king of the East China Sea feels unbelievable.

It didn't take long for ten guards to return, and none of them were missing, and Wang He replied, "Seven bandits, all of them have been killed." ”

Han Ruzi nodded, didn't say anything, and still looked at the battlefield.

The shouts were fading, more horses' hooves, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

A cavalryman came running quickly and shouted excitedly: "The thieves retreat!" The thieves retreat! ”

Waiting for the cavalry to approach, Han Ruzi asked, "Have there been troops in the city?" ”

The cavalryman's face was covered with blood, and he was slightly stunned when he heard the words, "It doesn't seem to be, I didn't see it." ”

Qu Zixi opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty is ready to subdue Luoyang City." ”

Han Ruzi has this intention, even if he becomes the emperor, the power will not automatically arrive, he has to "subdue" the Great Chu Jiangshan, starting from Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
