Chapter 163: Xu Jing Beacon Fire

The news that Emperor Xu Qiyuan was seriously ill came out of anyone's mouth, and it spread throughout Xu Jing for a while.

The forces of all parties are ready to move, and the competition between the various factions above the court is gradually fierce.

The entire court is divided into five factions, each of the four princes occupies one faction, and the other faction is not attached to anyone, waiting to see what happens.

Although Zhao Yu is the crown prince, his line is slightly weaker than that of the fourth prince Zhao Chong.

Zhao Xiang's mother, Empress Xiao, is the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling, and her status is extremely noble, but this has become a constraint for Zhao Xiang, because the Xiao family built the Chu State, and there are not many people from the Xiao family above the Daxu court, so he can't get the help of his relatives, no more than the mother of the four princes is Hongnong Yang, and the Yang family is in power in the court, and they all support Zhao Chong, but the power of the crown prince Zhao Chong is weaker than Zhao Chong.

Originally, Zhao Xiang was the crown prince, even if the power was not strong, but it would not be impossible to inherit the throne in the future, but now the world is in chaos, the war is raging, although the vassal states do not attack Da Xu, but it does not mean that they have to let Da Xu go, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is to treat Da Xu as a piece of fat meat, waiting for the last to eat, and now the war between the vassal states is actually competing for the qualification to eat this piece of fat meat in the end.

This kind of world makes the position of the crown prince no longer so stable as a rock, and in the Xu Dynasty, there are naturally people who are interested in the vassal states, and naturally take advantage of the serious illness of Emperor Qiyuan to make waves, fish in troubled waters, and intend to make trouble for Daxu.

The autumn wind rises, and the yellow leaves fall.

In the prince's outer mansion, a night banquet is being held.

All the people who came to the banquet were the people of the prince's family, among which the Taishi Dugu Violent and the auxiliary general Guo Tianyi were the highest, followed by Zhou Renli, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Le was almost the first person under the three because of his different identities and military power.

The atmosphere of the whole banquet was a little heavy, there was almost no singing and laughter, but all talking about military affairs.

And such a night banquet was held almost every night in the mansion of the four princes in Xu Jingcheng, and at the same time, the news that Emperor Xu was critically ill also came out from time to time, making many people speculate that Emperor Xu could not spend the winter of the twenty-third year of Qiyuan.

On the winter solstice, a major event finally happened, the eldest prince suddenly mutinied, led his troops to kill the palace, and the Xicheng forbidden army raised troops to cooperate with the eldest prince to plot the throne! Moreover, the Western Route Army, which was stationed outside Xu Jingcheng, also raised its banner to support the eldest prince!

In Xu Jingcheng, there was chaos for three days and three nights, and the ministers who were originally neutral in the DPRK and China, for some reason, rose up to support the eldest prince!

And the other four forbidden armies in the northeast, south, and middle in the city, except for the three forbidden armies in the east, central and south, who sent troops to Qinwang, the forbidden army in the north city actually stood still!

The Nancheng Forbidden Army led by Chen Le tightly surrounded Beppu outside the palace of the crown prince Zhao Xiang, and the crown prince Zhao Xiang had been in Beppu since the day of the Great Prince's mutiny and did not go out.

The battle intensified, and in the end, the Northern City Forbidden Army and the Western City Forbidden Army joined forces, one attacked the Imperial City, and the other directly hit Prince Beppu.

At this time, part of the Western Route Army outside the city actually sneaked into Xujing from Xicheng, and for a while, the civil war in Xujing City was raging.

In Prince Beppu, Zhao Xun and Chen Le sat opposite each other.

Zhao Xian's face was as pale as snow, and his fist-clenched hand trembled slightly: "Qingzhi, they won't attack in, right?" ”

Chen Le smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, although I only have 50,000 forbidden troops in my hands, even if the other four forbidden troops come to attack together, they will not be able to get in. ”

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then said nervously: "Qingzhi, you said that there will be nothing wrong with my father, this is already the fifth day!" ”

Chen Le frowned: "The palace is not so easy to attack, not to mention the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, and the assistance of the Dongcheng Forbidden Army, I am afraid that all the Western Route Army outside the city will come in." ”

Zhao Xian slammed his fist on the table and said loudly: "Zhao Xia, I am inseparable from you!" ”

Chen Le Zhengse said: "I don't know why the other three route armies outside the city haven't rushed to help?" ”

Zhao Xian shook his head: "I don't know, I have a lot of four-way soldiers and horses, only the West Route Army is stationed outside the city all the year round to prevent a sneak attack by Qin Houguo in the west, and the other three-way soldiers and horses are not outside the city, but stationed at the border, and I am afraid it will not be so fast to rush back." ”

Chen Le thought for a moment when he heard this, then lowered his head and said nothing.

On the fifth day of the Xu Jingcheng Rebellion, Chen Le directly allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to the palace to help.

On the sixth day of the Xu Jingcheng Rebellion, Chen Le once again allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to the palace to help.

On the seventh day of the Xu Jingcheng Rebellion, Chen Le immediately led 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight directly around Prince Beppu, and it was not until this moment that the soldiers in the city knew how powerful this civil and military champion was.

The rebels surrounding the attack on the prince's mansion were killed by Chen Le's troops in just one afternoon, and then Chen Le left four lieutenant generals and 20,000 troops to protect the prince's beppu, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to help the palace again.

The battle in the palace at this moment has entered a white heat, even if a person like Tianci has the right to lead the troops to defend, but it still enters a state of stalemate, because there are also people in the rebel army, although the ranking is not as good as that of Quan Tianci, but there are as many as three people, in this kind of melee, it is not much worse than Quan Tianci's personal bravery.

In the evening, the light snow fell, and Chen Le led 10,000 soldiers and horses directly into the encirclement.

His 50,000 forbidden troops had already undergone special training, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of other forbidden armies, and among the 10,000 forbidden troops he brought in, 3,900 of them had to be taught by him personally, and 900 of the 3,900 were his personal guards, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness was enough to be 10 enemies.

Chen Le killed from the outside in, because the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 people was really bursting, so after a while, the rebels were in chaos, and when the 10,000 horses and horses were slaughtered in the shape of sharp knives, a general suddenly came in front, the general had a golden helmet, golden armor and golden robe, his face was like light gold, and he was holding a golden gun.

As soon as the general saw Chen Le, his pupils shrank, and he shouted, "Chen Qingzhi? ”

Chen Le laughed: "Jiao Liangchen, as the twenty-ninth general on the Wuying List, you actually participated in the rebellion, it is really stupid!" ”

This general is the master of the Wuying list, Jiao Liangchen, who is ranked 29th, this Jiao Liangchen is also the general of the three armies, but as soon as he saw Chen Le, his face immediately changed, and he turned the horse's head and ran directly.

Chen Le let out a long roar behind him: "Sons, kill me, the escort is meritorious, and everyone will be rewarded!" ”

These forbidden troops under him have been brainwashed by him in the past year and a half, and it may be extremely difficult to say that others want to brainwash the forbidden army, but who is Chen Le? He was a human being in two lives, and in terms of knowledge and language, he was not at all comparable to the people of the world!

10,000 soldiers and horses, fearless of death, rushed directly into the encirclement, as if invincible, and beat the rebels out of a passage and killed them directly under the palace!
