Chapter Forty-Eight: Change
Dialects look back:
"What's the matter with Your Highness?"
Prince Road:
"Do you have any news of Ouyang He?"
Fang Yan was taken aback and said:
"Thanks to His Highness's concern, although my son-in-law is in the den of the tiger and wolf, he will be fine."
The prince nodded and said, "That's good, but I still want to remind Lord Fang, as the proverb goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, although I have lost my position and am deeply 'imprisoned', but I still have a foundation in this Luojing City, as Lord Fang said just now, my father still wants to keep my life to contain Liu Xiu and will not move me, but he can't guarantee that he will not touch your Ouyang Gongzi." ”
Fang Yan frowned, nodded silently, and turned away.
The prince looked at his back, his face returned to a decadent and frightened look, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, what he said just now was both a warning and a woo, to let them know that he was not a waste, but a life-saving talisman for his Ouyang Gongzi, the prime minister of Shu Kingdom.
Although this life talisman entered the water, it could still be used, he stabilized his mind, turned around and walked into the mansion-
After receiving the news of the standby alert in the early morning, the change of defense army, which was originally stationed outside Luojing City, was almost immediately divided into two factions, one faction obeyed the orders of the prince and fully supported the general officer Zhang Duo he arranged, in fact, Ouyang He, and the other faction, surprisingly, turned out to be the majority of the reserve zài, which accounted for two-thirds of the soldiers of the change of defense army, and they decided to only obey the orders of the hussar general Wang Xiangzuo and stay still, and would not listen to Zhang Duo's orders unless the news of the death of the saint and the succession of the crown prince was implemented.
Although Zhang Duo has been advising and deploying for the past half a month, the effect is not obvious, and the difficulties of the matter far exceed his expectations.
However, the strength of the prince's painstaking management over the past few years is still impressive, but at this moment, he is tightly frowning, walking around in his own camp.
The news from outside came in one after another, and at the beginning it was very beneficial to the prince's side, and all the palace guards were replaced by the prince's people, and then Liu Xiuyu's winged Yingge was uprooted by the prince, and the emperor has been ill for a long time, and he is seriously ill, even if he dies one day, he will not be suspected, so this is the best time to launch a palace change.
And for him Ouyang He, the emperor and the crown prince fought to the death, which naturally cheapened him, a person who sat on the mountain and watched the battle, and he could even imagine that the two most powerful people in the Han State would lose both sides and lead the country to chaos, so he could immediately notify his father and let him persuade the ministers to lead the army to attack the Han State, and he was doing his own internal response, and he could easily destroy the Han State that had been pressing on the head of Shu for hundreds of years.
At the same time, for the Ouyang family, the largest lord of Shu, the destruction of the Han State will be the supreme merit, and when the people will return to their hearts and the military power will be in hand, his Ouyang family will naturally be in power, and the throne belongs to him.
Of course, during this period, the shape shì is a big risk, and he is only afraid that he will be harmed first, so he also left a back hand, looked at the terrain, and found a good response, in order to be foolproof, the dialect will be the hidden strength of Shu in Luojing for many years, most of which will be transferred to his side, and he will be firmly protected, once things change in the city, he will also wait for the opportunity to get out.
However, the development of the shape shì was unexpected, Liu Xiu and the emperor actually left their own hands, slaughtered the palace guards almost at the same time, and then besieged the prince's mansion with lightning speed, almost all the soldiers and horses in the prince's hands were defeated.
This not only makes it difficult for the prince to have a chance to make a comeback, but also destroys Ouyang He's wishful thinking, at this moment he is in a dilemma: if he does not escape, he is trapped in the Han army, and now the prince does not know where to go, he is an outsider, lonely and difficult to speak, and has no resume in the army, as the newly appointed general of the prince, it is difficult to be killed by the emperor with an excuse, and he has become the prince's substitute ghost; But if he escapes, there is a danger in Luojing City right now, and there are too few guards around him, and without the prince's care, he won't be able to escape far at all.
Ouyang He thought of all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but he denied them one by one, and at the moment of life and death, any mistake was fatal.
He forced himself to calm down, sat down in the camp, took a sip of tea, and was about to take a sip, but saw that one of his cronies did not report it, and hurriedly ran in.
In a panic, nervous and almost stammering, he shouted at the door:
"Childe, no, general, general, big, it's not good, those soldiers outside the camp, together with the Royal Forest Army that came out of the city, have surrounded all our people!"
"Bang", the teacup fell from Ouyang He's hand, fell to the ground, and shattered.
He hurriedly stood up, his face pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and he leaned on the table and asked urgently:
"What? How many people are there? How many of us are there? ”
That cronie was already flustered, and he had been trying to calm himself, but when he saw Ouyang He behaving like this, his heart was even more frightened, and his face was as pale as dirt for a while, and he replied after a while:
"General, general, there are many soldiers coming out of the city, too many to count, their faces are gloomy, their bodies are bloody, our people are frightened, and even the soldiers outside the city, most of them have betrayed us!"
"Smack", Ouyang He slapped his cronies hard and said angrily:
"Nonsense, what scared? Who are you scared of? By soldiers? By the Han Kingdom? ”
The cronie suddenly came to his senses, he was a soldier of the Shu Kingdom, how could he bow his head to the Han people, especially in the Great Shu family, showing weakness in front of the Ouyang family, it was a matter of ten thousand deaths, and he quickly knelt down at the moment, and kowtowed again and again:
"Childe forgives sins, Childe forgives sins!"
Ouyang He was in the mood to worry about these things with him at the moment, he waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Go ahead, come in and report any news immediately!"
The cronie was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to speak: "The outside of the camp has been surrounded by enemy troops, and I just ordered to attack, and if the son does not go out again, the hearts of the brothers will be scattered!" But he saw Ouyang He's uncertain appearance and knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to confess and quit.
Ouyang He's heart was in turmoil, and a voice kept echoing in his heart:
"What to do, what to do?"
Originally, at this time, the dialect that had been around to give him advice would immediately build him yì, but he never came back after he entered the city to see the prince yesterday, and now the big change has come abruptly, but there is not even a person around him to consult.
"Damn tongues, for the sake of the safety of an outsider, a traitor! Bastard! ”
He scolded hatefully for a long time, but not only did it not help, but he sulked out of thin air, adding to his anxiety, just when he was thinking about countermeasures, the Imperial Forest Army and most of the garrisons of the Han Empire who came out of Luojing City had completely surrounded his military village and the part of the soldiers loyal to the prince.
Deadend.
This time, Liu Xiu, the newly released British king, and Wang Xiangzuo, the hussar general, led the troops, aiming to exterminate the rebel party, arrest the leader, and return the society to a clean and peaceful people.
The capital of the Empire has ushered in its most sinister and dangerous day!
At this time, it was already close to noon, but in Luojing City, the streets were deserted, and none of the people in the capital dared to go out of the door, even the post house for envoys from other countries to stay, the door was closed.
Only the sound of countless soldiers running and shouting in batches echoed in this empty capital.
A slightly cool wind ran through, sending the killing aura to every corner of the imperial capital.
Outside Ouyang He's camp.
The heavily armed "princeling army" nervously confronted the strong enemy in front of them, compared to their nervousness, Liu Xiu's "soldiers" demeanor was calm and sophisticated, and their faces revealed a murderous aura, feeling that they were more like well-trained bandits who were careless about human life.
Not to mention the Imperial Imperial Forest Army, which also surrounded the "rebels", they subconsciously avoided Liu Xiu's own soldiers, with disgust and fear on their faces.
Although the two sides are called confrontations, in fact the momentum of the "rebels" is weak, and they have almost no strength to meet a single blow.
But neither side moved.
In the depths of the army, beside Liu Xiu, Wang Xiangzuo's eyes swept over everyone, only looked at the appearance of the Imperial Forest Army, sneered, and shook his head.
Liu Xiu looked back in surprise and said:
"What's the matter, Lord Wang?"
Wang Xiangzuo looked at Liu Xiu and said with a wry smile:
"The Imperial Forest Army brought by the old minister is all good players from all over the world who have recently been recruited by His Majesty, although they are still not running-in, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they can be called the elite divisions of the empire, but they are comparable in front of His Royal Highness's subordinates, hehe"
Liu Xiu slowly turned his head, was silent for a moment, and said:
"As long as Lord Wang is here, my subordinates will not be opponents."
Wang Xiangzuo sighed and said:
"Your Highness is too modest, how can the old minister have such great ability."
Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Wang Xiangzuo, saw that his expression was sincere, frowned, and said:
"Lord Wang praised me like this, Liu Xiuke can't afford it, if his father hears this, he will be angry."
Wang Xiangzuo's body shook slightly, knowing the deep meaning of Liu Xiu's words, he bowed and replied:
"It's the old minister's speech, I hope His Highness will forgive his sins."
Liu Xiu smiled and nodded, and the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two just now was also dissolved in this smile.
After a while, Wang Xiangzuocai turned his head to look at Liu Xiu and said:
"Your Highness, is the time almost up?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said:
"Recently, there have been wars in Luojing, the people are deeply disturbed, unbearable, although they appeared in Luojing City several times before, but the scale is still small, there is no need to worry, but this time the two armies add up to tens of thousands of people, it can be called a big war, although our army is wide, but in case of mistakes, the consequences are unimaginable, so it is best to use fewer troops."
Wang Xiangzuo nodded and said:
"I wonder what His Highness thinks?"
Liu Xiu looked calm, looked at the "Zhang Duo" military village guarded by the "rebels" in front, and said lightly:
"The father said that the person inside was Ouyang He, the eldest son of the prime minister of Shu, and said that he was useful to the empire, and if I wanted to find a way to release him, I would go in and meet this Ouyang Gongzi in a while, and see what kind of person he was, and he could be of great use to the empire? In the future, when the two countries of Shu and Han meet each other, I will be prepared for the whole of Shu. ”
Wang Xiangzuo's body shook violently after hearing this, and he turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, but saw Liu Xiu's expression calm, and his attitude was indifferent but resolute.
He felt that something was wrong in his heart, and was just about to open his mouth to persuade him, when there was a small commotion in front of him, and the two looked forward, only to see a soldier separate from the crowd and run over.
