Chapter 45: The Vanishing Twenty-Thousand Horses
The night is cold, and the moon is like a sharp hook!
The bleak moonlight sprinkled on the entire Bianjing, Zhao Guangyi stood on the high city wall, squinting at the direction of the east gate of the palace.
There, there are 20,000 elite soldiers in Gyeonggi!
Zhao Guangyi's gloomy eyes flickered a few times, and next to him, a black-armored general of the forbidden army knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the 40,000 forbidden army has surrounded the four directions of the southeast, south, and north!" The 10,000 heavily armored forbidden troops have been deployed to defend the city, and the 20,000 rebels at Dongyingmen are already in the wings! ”
"Good!" Zhao Guangyi's Adam's apple moved slightly, "These rebels who threaten the stability of the empire are the biggest cancer and hidden danger in the entire empire, after tonight, I want to make all these 20,000 people disappear, can I do it?" ”
The half-kneeling black-armored forbidden soldier trembled, and then said firmly: "I am willing to sweep away all rebels for Your Majesty!" ”
"Good!" Zhao Guangyi's eyes narrowed even deeper, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Defang, Lu Duoxun, Sima Wenru, Cai Kang, Yang Guangyi, Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, Wang Xianqi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, The names of these people flashed in his eyes one by one, these are all stumbling blocks to him!
If there are people in this world who can't be their own stepping stones, it's all stumbling blocks! For stumbling blocks, Zhao Guangyi will not only kick it away, he will also crush it!
Only the dead will not talk nonsense, and only the dead will not oppose themselves!
As the investigation deepened, Zhao Guangyi already knew that there were too many people who knew about that photo, so much so that there were already countless rumors inside and outside the palace!
Zhao Guangyi wants to be an emperor praised by later generations, so he works hard, his family is rich, but he doesn't spend a penny, he has countless women, but he doesn't enter the house, even if he kills his eldest brother, he uses the most secret method. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe just wants future generations to think that he is a benevolent and moral benevolent monarch! But now this rumor has threatened his throne, and it is important to be praised by future generations, but the throne is even more important!
So after careful consideration, Zhao Guangyi finally made this decision: to use a massacre that shocked the Great Song Dynasty to suppress all those who dared to resist him! Use a massacre that shocked the Great Song Dynasty to suppress those who dare to spread gossip! Use a massacre that shocked the Great Song Dynasty to suppress everyone in the Great Song Dynasty!!
So tonight, those 20,000 people will use their own blood to wash this Kaifeng city, and they will use their souls to pave the way for themselves, and become the beginning of their own becoming the first emperor of the ages!
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and ruthless, this is a must-have look for an emperor, the emperor is angry, and there are millions of corpses, now is the moment to realize all this.
"Let's go, all those who resist will be beheaded, and those who surrender will be put in prison first, and tomorrow afternoon, they will be beheaded in the streets of Bianjing for public display." Zhao Guangyi's voice was indifferent and did not resemble a human voice.
The black-armored general who was waiting on the side couldn't help but shiver coldly, and then said in a loud voice: "The last general is ordered!" Then he stepped on his horse and said to the lieutenant general: "Sound the drum, give the order!" The whole army marches! Those who resist will be killed! ”
The rumbling drums resounded throughout Bianjing, the prosperous Kaifeng was like a frightened little beast, the pedestrians on the street quickly rushed home, and the doors of the houses were closed door to door on the street, and everyone panicked, because this drum was the drum of war.
Thousands of horses passed through the streets of the city, roaring like thunder in the sky, trembling as if the sky was falling, everyone hid in the house and shivered, no one knew what had suddenly happened in Bianjing.
The closer you get to the east gate of the Imperial City, the more tense the atmosphere becomes, and the archers and crossbowmen have already blocked a large area of the east gate of the Imperial City, and anyone who wants to leave this area will have to dodge the fire of thousands of crossbow arrows.
But the expected escape did not appear, and the entire East Imperial Gate was quiet, as if it was integrated with the night, and the silence was depressing.
"Has anyone ever come out?" The general of the Black-Armored Forbidden Army rode a black-armored horse and asked the officer commanding the scene with some confusion.
"General, no one has ever come out."
"How is this possible? Did they have an ambush? The general of the Black-Armored Forbidden Army shook his head, "Now that they are surrounded, it is inevitable that they will be trapped in it, so send a vanguard to investigate and test the intentions of these rebels." ”
"No!"
The order of the general of the Black Armor Forbidden Army was immediately executed, and soon, a fifty-person exploration team was organized and ordered to go to the east gate of the imperial city to investigate.
This squad moved forward slowly, and it could be said that they turned back in five steps, for fear that the enemy would ambush there, and as soon as they entered the distance of the bow and crossbow, they would shoot themselves through.
But their little caution was obviously also seen by the general of the Black Armor Forbidden Army, and he was only a little annoyed and said: "Pass the order, if you don't come back within half an hour, you will be beheaded directly in front of the battle!" ”
Then there was a loud voice, and he shouted to the reconnaissance team: "The general has an order, if you don't come back from the investigation within half an hour, you will be beheaded directly in front of the battle!" ”
The sound echoed in the empty night, and the exploration team was obviously stimulated, paused, and then began to speed up the exploration noticeably, until they reached the bottom of the city tower, everything was still quiet, as if there was no one at the entire east gate of the imperial city.
It wasn't until they pushed open the gate of the east gate of the imperial city that they all froze in place, and then they ran back like a fly, and then a spy shouted at the top of his voice: "General! There is no one in the imperial city gate! ”
........
Chen Mojia, the leader of the Black Armor Forbidden Army, had never seen such a strange thing in this world, the horse manure on the ground was still very fresh, and the traces of tens of thousands of people trampling here were still there, all of which proved that there were tens of thousands of people staying here a few hours ago.
However, under the siege of the imperial city, no one could escape, and these tens of thousands of people disappeared for no reason.
Chen Mojia thought it was because of the secret passage at first, but when he sent people back and forth to search all the places near the east gate of the imperial city, he did not find any traces of the secret passage.
He summoned the spies who had reported before and asked them in detail about the whereabouts of the Gyeonggi elite soldiers he had investigated, but more than 100 spies, all of whom said in unison that the 20,000 Gyeonggi elite soldiers had finally entered the east gate of the imperial city.
There are only two exits from the east gate of the imperial city, one exit is here, and the other is in the inner palace, where tens of thousands of archers have been on standby for a long time, and it is impossible to let people go, so where did the 20,000 horses trapped in the east imperial gate go? Chen Mojia was puzzled.
At this time, he didn't know what kind of anger he would bear if he told Zhao Guangyi the news of the disappearance of 20,000 horses.....
