Chapter 265: Plan Ahead

The palace maid Tong Qing'e's trip to the south of the city triggered a series of major changes, and even after the dust settled, she didn't know that many of the things that night were her "credit". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

First of all, Shangguan Sheng in the palace, when he heard that a large group of palace people had fled, he was very angry, even more angry than the loss of the treasure seal, in his opinion, this was an unforgivable betrayal, the slaughter of the palace people was originally just a rumor, but now he began to seriously consider it - he thought that the eunuchs and palace maids who remained in the palace were not entirely credible.

Then there was Cai Xinghai and Meng E, who originally planned to protect the supporters of the Tired Hou with all their might, and immediately changed their goal after seeing Bao Xi, and sent Bao Xi out of the city no matter what, they planned to rush out of the relatively weakly guarded East City Gate, and then Meng E took Bao Xi around the city to join the Hou of Tired.

Finally, there are Cui Taifu and Donghai Wang, who have not heard about Baoxi, but they are moved by an unexpected news.

The Jianghu people who intercepted Meng E in Nancheng reported the news of a group of eunuchs and palace maids fleeing out of the palace layer by layer, and soon arrived at the king of the East China Sea, he came to his uncle with great interest, "The guards in the eastern part of the palace are lax, it seems that God helps me." ”

Cui Hong was not so confident, "No matter what, first send troops out of the city to attack the tired marquis, and then make plans." ”

The king of the East China Sea relied on his uncle's southern army and didn't dare to push too hard, but he had to say with some questions, "Cui Er didn't even care about the murder of his eldest cousin, and ran out of the city to join Han Ruzi, why did his uncle ...... Won't stand in the way? ”

Cui Hong had just arranged the matter of attacking the tired Hou together, he looked very tired, and said casually: "Cui Teng is this temper, I can't control him, let him kill himself, Cui Sheng left me a grandson, it is enough to have him." ”

"Uncle is really ruthless." The king of the East China Sea retired, but he was very awkward in his heart, thinking that Cui Hong was still stepping on two boats, and he had to find another spare backer.

Hua Bin lost the trust of Cui Taifu, and the three assassins he recommended failed to kill Ti Hou, and even disappeared, and when some of the generals of the Southern Army rebelled, he did not provide any protection, and when the Southern Army and the Su Guards went to war, he became completely useless.

The dissatisfied King of the East China Sea and the disgraced Hua Bin met and soon chatted together.

"Jianghu people are not very reliable." The king of the East China Sea stared at Hua Bin, and said unceremoniously, "One by one, they blow very loudly, either from heaven to earth, or with one enemy hundred, one thousand, when it comes to employing people, all of them are waste, and now there are hundreds of Jianghu people in the palace who have been captured as prisoners, and they can't beat the Su Guards at all." ”

"Hehe, each has its own strengths, the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes may not be as high as imagined, but they are righteous and angry, and they would rather die to do what they promise, of course, sometimes they may not be able to do it."

The King of the East Sea sneered, given that a Jianghu man had died outside the Broken Iron City to protect him, he did not refute Hua Bin's words, "In this case, this attack on the palace may not be successful." ”

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen."

"Hmm...... Why didn't the Tiger King come to the capital? I miss him. ”

"He is too young and has no other skills to withstand the wind and waves of the capital." Hua Bin said with a smile.

"It's okay if you don't come, no matter what happens here, someone in the Hua family can stay out of it safely."

Hua Bin smiled reluctantly, "Didn't Mrs. Cui also send Cui Teng out of the capital?" ”

Cui Teng ran out by himself, and if Mrs. Cui didn't stop him, even if he acquiesced, the king of the East China Sea smiled: "That's right, everyone has to prepare a back road, it's understandable, I heard that Shangguan Sheng sent his family to Kanto early on." But I have no way out, and neither does Han Ruzi, we only have one way, we have to be the emperor no matter what, and we have to die halfway through. ”

The king of the East China Sea remembered his wife Tan, and actually missed her a little, and now she, like Concubine Cui, is in the palace and her life and death are unknown.

Hua Bin's smile stiffened even more and she didn't answer.

The King of the East Sea sighed, "If a person has a way out, will he become braver or more timid?" ”

Hua Bin couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, "Your Majesty is worried that I won't do my best?" Please rest assured, Your Majesty, since my old bones have returned to the capital, I have no intention of leaving intact. ”

Hua Bin once escaped, and it was a prepared escape, the king of the East China Sea did not mention the past, and said: "The people of the rivers and lakes are righteous, this is true, but who are these people in the city following?" It's not me, it's not my uncle, it's Hua Hou Ye and the Tan family. ”

Hua Bin's face changed slightly, and finally understood the intention of the King of the East China Sea, and after a moment of silence, he found that he really had no choice, and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't think I'm old and incompetent, I am willing to take the lead and be the first to rush into the palace." ”

Donghai got up and thanked him, "The heroes and heroes from Yunmengze, seeing the Huahou Ye charging forward, everyone must be desperate. ”

Hua Bin laughed twice and asked, "What about the Tan family?" ”

"There are fifteen men and children in the Tan family, and they will take the lead in entering the palace this time."

Hua Bin has nothing to say.

"Four more hands-on." The king of the East Sea threw down a sentence and left.

In another room, the King of the East Sea found the two Imperial Historians, and as soon as they met, he asked, "Do you recognize me as the emperor?" ”

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi are equivalent to being under house arrest, they can't escape, and they don't dare to escape, as soon as they heard the question of the King of the East China Sea, they hurriedly knelt down, "The ministers are loyal, why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm just asking, after all, you once supported the champion Hou, and were even willing to lead troops for him to break into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, what have you done for me?"

The two of them fell to the ground and did not dare to squeak.

"The champion Hou died, you turned to support me, how many times do you want to turn in the future?"

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and there is no reason for the ministers to change again."

"Call your people, and then go together to attack the palace, it's done, the two of you are the prime ministers of the left and right, if you don't succeed, follow me underground to see Emperor Huan and Emperor Wu."

The two kowtowed to receive their orders, and Xiao Sheng said: "But those scholars and the Chai family don't listen to our orders......"

"Swords and guns make them obey orders." The king of the East China Sea said coldly, he was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and everyone should stand in front of him, not behind him, "Attacking the palace always has to sprinkle some blood, the difference is to be loyal and sprinkle blood, or forced to sprinkle blood, there may be no difference between you, but it is very different for your family." ”

The king of the East China Sea still has a little bit of a discussion with Hua Bin, and it is a direct threat to the two imperial histories.

There was still a period of time before the fourth watch, and the king of the East China Sea didn't want to be idle, so he went to the Chai family again, coaxed and deceived, and promised a lot of official titles in exchange for their allegiance. This loyalty is even more unreliable than the two imperial histories, but the requirements of the King of the East Sea are not high, as long as these people can go to the palace tonight and charge into battle.

Eventually, he went to meet the scholars, where he ran into a wall of iron.

Guozijian and Taixue disciples were the main force of this group of scholars, and even in the face of many soldiers armed with swords and guns, they refused to recognize the throne of the king of the East China Sea, gathered together to recite the scriptures of the sages aloud, and even refused to talk to the king of the East China Sea.

The King of the East Sea sneered and left, determined to purge these useless scholars after the matter was completed.

Before the fourth watch arrived, a battle broke out in Nancheng first, and six or seven hundred people came out from different places, all of whom flocked to the same inn, and joined a group of tired marquis in the inn, and fought with the Jianghu people arranged by the Tan family.

The Tan family was outnumbered and quickly retreated.

In fact, there were only more than 200 soldiers in the army, but after they infiltrated the capital, they secretly recruited many relatives and friends from the south of the capital, and the number quadrupled.

On this night, they became the first force to act.

Cai Xinghai was very courageous, and it was not the East City Gate that he led people to attack, but the Imperial Palace, hoping to attract the strength of the Su Guards, and then a few elite forces escorted Meng E out of the city.

Like Tong Qing'e, Cai Xinghai had no idea about the impact of the move.

The momentum of the team of seven or eight hundred people is not small, and they go to the palace in a mighty way, and they have not encountered any obstacles along the way, and the people are hiding at home.

The forces of the rivers and lakes gathered by Hua Bin and the Tan family were divided into multiple units and hid in Dongcheng, the news was not smooth, and they didn't know what the shouts that suddenly appeared outside were going on, thinking that the action was ahead of schedule, so many people ran out of hiding and joined Cai Xinghai's team.

The plan of the King of the East Sea to attack the palace was so advanced.

Once the battle began, there were only inconsistent rumors circulating, and the king of the East China Sea did not have time to find out the facts, so he immediately ordered Hua Bin, the men of the Tan family, and the two imperial historians to attack the city in person.

In this way, the plan of the Southern Army and the Su Guard Army to jointly attack the Tihou was disrupted, and the main force of the Su Guard Army had moved to the vicinity of the North City Gate, and Shangguan Sheng immediately ordered the whole army to prepare to return to the palace.

When the news of Beicheng came, Cui Hong was furious, called the king of the East China Sea, and did not think that his nephew was the emperor, and scolded angrily: "How can you be so stupid? Attacking the palace at this time? ”

The king of the East China Sea blushed, "I didn't order it, for sure...... These Jianghu people are all outlaws and do not obey control. ”

"It's over, it's all over, the southern army can only fight to the death with the Su Guards, the tired marquis has chosen a big bargain, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the Great Chu River is his......"

"Why didn't Uncle send troops alone?"

"Outside the city, what will happen in the city? How could the remaining 10,000 Southern Army be the opponent of the Su Guard Army? ”

"Anyway, it's already like this, it's better to take the risk, first send someone to see Shangguan Sheng, assure him that the attack outside the palace has nothing to do with us, and then let him see that the southern army is out of the city, whether to join forces to attack the tired marquis, or stay in the city to fight, let him choose."

"Let him choose? It's putting your life in his hands! Cui Hong still thinks that it was his nephew's ghost idea to attack early, but he doesn't understand why.

"Send those scholars to the palace, they don't support the tired marquis, let them shout and scream."

Cui Hong understood, "Let Shangguan Sheng think that the attacker is a tired person." ”

"Those Jianghu people will not be able to attack the palace for a while and a half, once Shangguan Sheng finds out that they are not afraid, and they are all tired people, he is more willing to send troops out of the city, right?"

Cui Hong pondered for a while, but there was really no other way, so he called the generals under his command and assigned tasks according to the idea of the king of the East China Sea.

As a result, the plan to attack the Tired Marquis was also advanced.

A large number of southern troops left the city, and when they detoured to the southwest corner, the Su Guards also left the city through the north gate.

The palace blocked the attack, and Shangguan Sheng felt that the threat of the tired marquis was greater, so he chose to believe Cui Hong's words and also sent troops out of the city.

As soon as the north gate was opened, Han Ruzi sent five thousand cavalry that had been prepared for a long time.

Battles inside and outside the city began.

At the same moment, Meng E rushed out of the empty East City Gate with the help of a group of soldiers, while several masters who had infiltrated the palace in advance were looking for an opportunity to open a palace gate. (To be continued.) )
