Cui Hong led the army to arrive in time, and in order to catch up with the emperor, he also left a part of the army, and only advanced at full speed with only 4,000 elites, and finally caught up with the Battle of Aocang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was already early afternoon, since Chai Yue led the army into the battle, the two sides had been fighting fiercely for more than three hours, and the Chu army had received two reinforcements, and finally surpassed the rebels and the blackhead army in numbers.

Shangguan Sheng's army was already at the end of the crossbow, coupled with the chaos in the rear, when he saw the newly arrived banner of the Chu army, the exhausted thief army suddenly felt hopeless, first the black-headed army, and then the Su Wei rebels, who turned around and fled.

Chai Yue also saw the reinforcements, and he didn't have time to discuss with the emperor, so he quickly ordered his soldiers not to pursue, but to the two sides, leaving a passage for Cui Hong's army, and the latecomers chased the north.

After a long period of rapid marching and fighting, the Chu army was more tired than the rebels and had no spare strength to pursue.

Han Ruzi understood Chai Yue's intentions, and immediately sent someone to give Cui Hong an order, telling him not to stop, but to move forward directly, and to be sure to completely defeat the Shangguan Sheng rebels.

The new Chu army passed in a group, and they also experienced a period of rapid marching, but for the warring sides, they were the new force.

Four thousand reinforcements into the battlefield, Cui Hong with many generals, honor guards, officials, eunuchs and advisers came to meet the emperor, the latter people are not from the army, desperately keep up with the team, suffered a lot along the way, as soon as he saw the emperor, knew that the trip was over, fell from the horse several times, the others were helped off the horse by the soldiers, but their feet were unsteady, kneeling from afar.

Han Ruzi felt guilty, but he didn't have time to pay attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, so he greeted Cui Hong and said: "Shangguan Sheng is outside Aocang City, others can let it go, and the first evil must not be tolerated." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already ordered the necessary arrest of Shangguan Sheng." Cui Hong saw that the emperor didn't seem to be at ease, so he said a few words, led the generals into the battlefield, and personally commanded the pursuit.

Han Ruzi was a little relieved, and then said to the Wenchen and the eunuch who knelt on the ground: "You are flat, you don't have to be formal. ”

Liu Jie, Zhang Youcai, and Loach did not follow, and they stayed in the rear army according to the emperor's order, monitoring the Tan family who were traveling together.

After greeting Wenchen for a few words, Han Ruzi still returned to the group of soldiers and arranged post-war affairs with Chai Yue.

It was a tragic battle, with many casualties on both sides, and even the most elite armies of the South and the North basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Chai Yue suggested camping on the spot, resting for a day or two before making plans, and by the way, he could protect Ao Cang.

Cui Hong's army is sweeping the battlefield, due to the failure to form a joint encirclement, the rebels and the black-headed army have many escapees, 4,000 soldiers can not be wiped out, can only choose key targets to pursue, especially Shangguan Sheng, the emperor and the general Cui Hong have ordered, who can catch the leader of the rebels, it will be a great achievement.

After nearly an hour, there were no living rebels or black-headed troops on the battlefield, and the Chu army could camp with peace of mind, some staying in the city, some setting up tents outside the city, and everything was provided by Ao Cang City.

Han Ruzi summoned the Ao Cang guard.

Although Ao Cang is important, he is only a petty official of the seventh grade, Qiao Wanfu has served for many years, without merit, and was favored by the emperor in a battle.

The timing of Ao Cang's army going out of the city to attack the rebels was extremely appropriate, Qiao Wanfu could be called brave and strategic, and Chai Yue also thought that this person was quite talented.

When he was summoned, Han Ruzi was a little disappointed, Qiao Wanfu's name was magnificent, but he was a middle-aged man with a short figure and an unattractive appearance, in his forties, who didn't look like a soldier, but like a small official who was mixed up in the officialdom.

But when people came, they couldn't say it without saying it, Han Ruzi praised a few words in general, and handed over Qiao Wanfu to Chai Yue, but he had already concluded in his heart that the timing of Ao Cangjun was probably an accident.

Approaching the evening, Shangguan Sheng still hasn't been caught, Cui Hong is still arranging the pursuit, Han Ruzi is extremely tired, and finally went into the city to rest, I wanted to take a nap, but I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, and the internal function of cultivation made him last longer, but it couldn't really replace sleep, he had to make up for it.

When he opened his eyes again, it was still bright outside, and Han Ruzi thought that he had only slept for a short while, and suddenly woke up after a while, it was early in the morning, and he slept all night.

Han Ruzi sat up, only felt a sore back, and there was no comfort in his whole body, so he couldn't help but hum a few times, and the eunuch immediately asked outside: "Your Majesty is up?" ”

Han Ruzi snorted, and two eunuchs pushed the door in, one helped to wash, and the other served and dressed.

Han Ruzi had the opportunity to observe his residence, the room was not big, the decoration was not gorgeous, the tables and chairs were very old, but they were extremely clean. It stands to reason that this should be the best room in Aocang City, and Han Ruzi speculated that Qiao Wanfu was probably a poor official, and even if he had no other skills, he should be promoted by one or two levels.

While eating, Han Ruzi ordered people to gather the generals.

The king of the East China Sea lived next door, came to eat with the emperor, looked tired, it seemed that he hadn't slept enough, he glanced at the emperor from time to time, and when the eunuch was not around, he whispered: "It's good to be the emperor, in the past, I relied on robbery and robbery, but now I don't need to say anything, there is a group of people who are desperate for Your Majesty." ”

He was also jealous of his uncle Cui Hong's timely arrival.

Han Ruzi laughed a few times, if it was the first time to claim the title of emperor, the performance of Cui Hong and others would definitely be a symbol of loyalty in his eyes, but now he saw it very thoroughly, these behaviors are also the "habits" of the imperial court, and the real power used by him is still Chai Yue and a few others.

The yamen of Aocang City is very shabby, the lobby is an ordinary room, even the emperor's honor guards can't fit it, Han Ruzi simply ordered someone to move the chair out, with his back to the lobby, and gather the civil and military ministers in the courtyard, the guards and eunuchs are behind him, the honor guards are lined up on both sides, the guards stand outside the gate, the flag is fluttering, almost covering the entire courtyard, the emperor's momentum is suddenly born, and no one will doubt his identity anymore.

The accompanying ministers and generals lined up to enter, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in unison: "The ministers and others will see Your Majesty." ”

Han Ruzi was surprised, all this was not arranged by him, the only decision he made was to move the chairs out of the lobby, the whole ceremony was ready-made, especially the uniformity of the ministers, it was likely to be rehearsed in advance.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites came with them, and this is probably due to them.

But this is not what Han Ruzi wants now, although the entire court meeting ceremony is brief, it still took nearly two quarters of an hour before the generals have a chance to take matters seriously.

Cui Hong has the highest position, so he is naturally the first to speak.

The Su Guard rebels have completely collapsed, and Shangguan Sheng has not yet caught him, but a team of Chu troops has found his traces and has been chasing him, and may bring him back at any time.

The Chu army caught a lot of prisoners, interrogated overnight, and finally figured out the origin of those black-headed troops, they are a group of bandits, the main force comes from Yunmengze, recruit more than a dozen cottages, and jointly form a black-headed army, a month ago, they began to sneak to the mountains outside Luoyang City in batches, and decided to attack Aocang together with the Suwei rebels three days ago.

The big leader of the black-headed army is named Luan Banxiong, who calls himself the "God-given God General", and has a good reputation in the Yunmengze area, but this time he didn't come in person, and he sent a "holy army division", whose real name is unknown, and he left two days ago and handed over all the black-headed troops to Shangguan Sheng.

The King of the East China Sea stood beside the emperor, and when he heard the words "Holy Army Division", the two of them glanced at each other, and they both thought of the Qi Seeker.

What made Han Ruzi even more annoyed was that the black-headed army sneaked north from Yunmengze a month ago, and they were clearly prepared, waiting for the opportunity to start an incident when the capital was in turmoil.

Yang Feng may have overestimated the power of the Qi Seeker, but one thing is very accurate, there is indeed a force that is secretly stirring up trouble, and for them, the more chaotic the Great Chu, the better.

There was also a piece of news that made the emperor and his ministers feel uneasy, the king did not stay with Shangguan Sheng, and disappeared with the Holy Army Division, as if it was used to exchange hostages for the black-headed army.

The King himself is not to be feared, but if he falls into the hands of a charlatan, he is likely to cause great trouble.

The Chu army continued to stay in Aocang City for repairs.

On this afternoon, Chai Yue asked to see the emperor and solemnly recommended Qiao Wanfu, "This person is not from the army, he studied literature in his early years, and he has been serving as a clerk in the army. ”

Han Ruzi summoned Qiao Wanfu for the second time, but this time he only listened to it.

Qiao Wanfu was a little nervous in front of the emperor, did not dare to raise his head, spoke a little stammering, and his language was also a little verbose, and gave a detailed introduction to the situation in various parts of the Kwantung region, and finally came to the conclusion: The rebellion of the King of Qi is inevitable, and it will happen sooner or later, although Shangguan Sheng failed to lead his troops to flee to the East China Sea, no matter whether he lives or dies, there is still a mess in the eastern border of Great Chu.

The conclusion was sensational, but Han Ruzi didn't understand the reason too much, asked a few words, and sent Qiao Wanfu away, Chai Yue had been listening, and then stepped forward to apologize: "Qiao Wanfu was too nervous to make it clear, wait until I talk to him." ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "Don't worry, in short, I want to send the King of the East China Sea to the middle of the country, bring Qiao Wanfu with me, stay for a while when the time comes, and go to the Qi country by the way, I want to see why there must be a mess in the east of Great Chu." ”

Chai Yue retired, and he had to arrange an official position for Qiao Wanfu.

In the evening, the Chu army, which had been chasing the defeated soldiers in all directions, returned one after another, and one of them brought back Shangguan Sheng's head.

Shangguan Sheng refused to surrender, led dozens of guards to fight against the water, and was shot by one Chu general, and another Chu general cut off his head, and the two made their first contributions.

Han Ruzi personally inspected the head and confirmed that it was correct, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Soon, another group of Chu troops returned to the city and captured a captive with a name and surname, and Han Ruzi immediately ordered this person to be brought in, and he was to interrogate him personally.

Lin Kunshan, a qi seeker, had been following Shangguan Sheng's side, but when he fled, he separated and entered the nearby mountains with a group of black-headed troops, but he got lost and ran into the Chu army, and all of them were caught.

As soon as Lin Kunshan saw the emperor, he knelt down, kneeled forward, and said in an extremely urgent tone: "Your Majesty is still here?" The Holy Army Division and Bao Xi are both in Luoyang City! ”
