Chapter 173: Shen Tu Xiu in action
At the north gate of the Handan Palace, a person hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Shen Tuxiu, he bowed and saluted: "200,000 soldiers from Anyang are about to arrive, and the second prince has now gone outside the city, and the villain has come to inform the commander of this matter." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The soldiers of Anyang are coming?". Shen Tuxiu was overjoyed and reconfirmed to the visitor.
The man replied without thinking: "200,000 soldiers of Anyang can arrive in just one night from Handan."
"One night? In addition, the second son can have the rest of the explanation." Shen Tuxiu asked the man.
The man shook his head slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said to Shen Tuxiu: "The son has a word, the time is pressing, and the tiger talisman has not yet been made." In the palace, please also take charge of the camera."
"Ben will know". Shen Tuxiu nodded slowly.
When the man saw that he had finished the matter, he bowed again and said, "Farewell."
As soon as the voice fell, he turned around and ran away quickly.
Shen Tuxiu pondered the situation in the palace carefully, thinking about what he should do next. Several henchmen and generals standing on the side said to Shen Tuxiu with joy on their faces.
"Now that the king is critically ill, the second son's Anyang soldiers are coming. In this way, it seems that the second son's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion, and we can't run away from the support of the establishment."
"The commander and the top priority is to control the inner palace, once the prince and others follow the king, they will be able to stop the second prince at that time."
"Without further ado, please ask the commander to give an order, let me lead the army to the inner palace."
Shen Tuxiu listened to the words of his confidant generals, and did not make a decision immediately, but asked them: "How many soldiers and horses can you mobilize without using the Tiger Talisman?"
"Thirty thousand". Several confidant generals glanced at each other, and then spoke.
When things came to this point, Shen Tuxiu calmed down: "It stands to reason that 30,000 soldiers are enough to control the inner palace, but do you feel that the guards here are too weak?"
"Weak?". Several generals looked at each other suspiciously.
Shen Tuxiu continued to analyze them: "There are 50,000 forbidden troops here, of which 30,000 are our henchmen, if 30,000 soldiers and horses enter the inner palace, there will be only 20,000 soldiers here."
"What do you mean by the Commandery?" A general cautiously asked Shen Tuxiu.
Shen Tuxiu reminded them: "Don't forget the defenders of Handan and the soldiers of the Four Princes. Once the second prince leads 200,000 Anyang soldiers to appear, how will they react?"
"Defend Handan". The generals replied without thinking.
Shen Tuxiu shook his head and spit out two words in a firm tone: "Enter the palace."
"Entering the palace? It's ......". The generals seemed to react, and they all showed embarrassed looks.
Seeing their hesitation, Shen Tuxiu asked them: "Once we lead 30,000 descendants into the inner palace, will the 20,000 soldiers and horses here be able to stop the soldiers and horses of the Handan defenders and the fourth prince."
"According to the will of the commander, what should we do?" Another general asked.
A sneer flashed at the corner of Shen Tuxiu's mouth, and he slowly spit out a word: "Wait."
"Wait?". The generals only felt a little confused.
Shen Tuxiu explained to them: "The king is critically ill, how can the fourth prince not enter the palace as the son of the king?" As a national lieutenant, how could Xue Li not go with the hundred officials. If I don't see them, I would like to keep guarding here, and it won't be too late for the second prince to lead the army into the city."
"Commander Takami, so it goes. The defenders of Handan and the soldiers of the fourth prince are not under the command of anyone, and when the time comes, the second prince will be able to take Handan without wasted effort." The generals reacted and flattered Shen Tuxiu one by one.
A smile appeared on Shen Tuxiu's face, as if everything was under his control: "In order to avoid foolproof, which of you is willing to go out of the city for Ben General and transfer all the 100,000 forbidden troops in the barracks."
"The last will be wished". All the generals asked for their lives, and none of them were willing to be left behind.
Shen Tuxiu's eyes looked at one person, and he took out half of his tiger talisman from his waist: "You don't have to go to so many people, it's better to just you."
"Yes". The general respectfully took half of the tiger talisman, and just wanted to turn around but thought of something, and asked Shen Tuxiu: "Commander Qiqi, how many people should I bring with me here at the end."
"A hundred people at most, otherwise there are too many people, and you may get into unnecessary trouble when you go out of the city." Shen Tuxiu thought of the tense situation at this time, and thought for a moment to give orders to the generals.
"Yes". The general bowed, and then walked forward, followed by a hundred soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
Watching the general walk away, Shen Tuxiu looked solemn, staring at the front without speaking. From time to time, officials passed by, but there was no national captain and Zhao Wuming, and Shen Tuxiu's heart gradually sank.
Time passed unconsciously, and a eunuch came with Xue Li. A smile immediately appeared on Shen Tuxiu's face, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Why did the national captain come so late? Now that all the officials have entered the palace, there is a shortage of two national captains and four sons."
"Commander Shentu didn't know that when the villain went to deliver the decree, the national lieutenant went to meet his friends outside. So the villain waited for a long time, and then it was too late to bring the national captain." Without waiting for Xue Li to speak, the eunuch replied first.
A trace of vigilance rose in Shen Tuxiu's heart: "Friends? I don't know if the national lieutenant knows where the fourth son is."
"Does Commander Shentu have any objection to the old man's friends? As for the whereabouts of the fourth son, how does the old man know? The fourth prince is the son of the king, and I am afraid that he has already entered the palace, but the commander of Shentu did not see it." Xue Li was displeased and asked Shen Tuxiu.
Shen Tuxiu knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly pointed to the palace: "Please forgive the captain, now the king is critically ill." There can be no delay outside, and the national lieutenant is invited to enter the palace."
Xue Li listened to Shen Tu Xiu's words, as if he didn't know what Shen Tu Xiu and Zhao Xiu were doing, and walked directly inside.
Watching the national lieutenant walk away, Shen Tuxiu sneered. There is still one person left, as long as he goes in, then the second son's accession to the throne is a foregone conclusion.
……
A mile away from the north gate of the palace, Zhao Wuming walked slowly, and Gao Zhao and Huang Hao, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huang Hao? Why are you here? “。 Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Zhao Wuming couldn't help but show a puzzled look.
Huang Hao bowed to Zhao Wuming: "After the king was critically ill, the eunuch Ling Zhang Gao suddenly disappeared, and in desperation, the prince and queen could only send him to convey his will. Now that he is in critical condition, please ask the son to enter the palace quickly."
"Childe, things outside the palace can be arranged." Without waiting for Zhao Wuming to speak, Gao Zhao asked him.
Zhao Wuming nodded slowly: "Everything is arranged properly, you can see the national captain enter the palace."
"A quarter of an hour ago, the lieutenant had already entered the palace." Although Huang Hao didn't understand what Gao Zhao was asking, he thought of Zhao Chong's illness and immediately replied to Zhao Wuming.
Gao Zhao seemed to have thought of something, as if he had said something unintentionally: "Strange to say, not long before the national lieutenant entered the palace, there was a team of 100 forbidden soldiers who seemed to have left the city."
"Out of town". Zhao Wuming reacted instantly, and said hurriedly to the two: "Without further ado, let's enter the palace quickly."
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for the two of them to speak, they walked directly in the direction of the palace.
Shen Tuxiu watched Zhao Wuming come from a distance, a smug smile flashed at the corner of his mouth in his heart, and then reacted and hurriedly covered it up.
Zhao Wuming had just stepped into the palace gate, and then there was a loud bang, and the north gate of the palace was completely locked.
The loud voice startled the three of them, and Zhao Wuming reacted and looked at Shen Tu Xiu: "Is Shen Tu in charge of this shrinkage a little too anxious?"
"At this time, all the officials entered, and only the four sons were left. There have already been several decrees in the palace, and if it weren't for the fact that the prince still needs to see the king for the last time, I'm afraid that the palace gate would have been closed long ago." Shen Tuxiu explained to Zhao Wuming, but the smug look in the corner of his eyes couldn't hide it.
Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tu Xiu's smug look, and a sneer rose in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Shen Tu Commander is afraid that he is wrong."
"Please also ask the fourth prince to make it clear." Shen Tu Xiu saw that the palace door was locked, and Zhao Wuming was in front of him, feeling that the overall situation had been decided. The mood is surprisingly better, and this is naturally a little more.
Zhao Wuming deliberately looked Shen Tu Xiu up and down: "After my son heard that the king was critically ill, Zhang Gao's house disappeared, and I don't know if the commander of Shen Tu knows where he is."
"Zhang Gao? How could Ben have known?" Shen Tuxiu naturally would not inform Zhao Wuming of Zhang Gao's whereabouts.
Zhao Wuming smiled proudly, as if he didn't know anything about the actions of Shen Tuxiu and the others: "If the king is critically ill and dies, then the person who inherits the throne must be my eldest brother." Zhang Gao had a flexible mind and knew that he would die if he stayed, so he fled. It's possible that he's running in the direction of Daijun."
"Escaped? With Zhang Gao's character, the fourth son did analyze well. It's just that the fourth prince seems to have forgotten one thing, can the crown prince really inherit the throne? “。 Shen Tuxiu asked rhetorically at Zhao Wuming, and belittled Zhang Gao by the way.
Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tuxiu, his eyes were full of doubts: "My son also heard that someone saw Zhao Tuxiu go out of the city. It seems that this Zhao Yan also knows that he will definitely die if he stays. This son is very curious, how could the commander of Shentu be sure that he would survive in this palace at this time? “。
"Didn't the second son come? Did the fourth prince hear it wrong?" Shen Tuxiu was shocked, but when he thought that the palace gate had been locked, he immediately made up his mind. deliberately followed Zhao Wuming's words and asked rhetorically.
Zhao Wuming did not explain in detail, but continued to ask Shen Tu Xiu: "This matter should be clear to the commander of Shen Tu, so why bother with this son."
The fourth prince laughed, and the last general heard that the king was critically ill, and I was afraid that there were people with bad intentions lurking among them. In order to ensure your safety, Ben has gathered 30,000 soldiers of the forbidden army who are loyal to the royal family. This will go to the inner palace with the fourth son." Thinking that Zhao Yu, Xue Li, and Zhao Wuming were all in this palace, Shen Tuxiu had no scruples, and immediately tried to show up.
Looking at Shentu Xiu's impatient appearance, Zhao Wuming glanced meaningfully at the direction of the inner palace: "Although the king is critically ill, but the king is safe, does the commander of Shentu need to ask the king what he means."
"The last general was just playing a joke with the fourth son, and invited the fourth prince Haihan. The last general will inspect the four gates of the palace, and he will not send his son in." Thinking of Zhao Chong's residual power, Shen Tuxiu poured a basin of cold water on him, and immediately smiled.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuming didn't say much, and walked directly to the direction of the inner palace with Gao Zhao and Huang Hao.
Shen Tuxiu watched Zhao Wuming walk away, and immediately showed a fierce light, and ordered to the henchmen and generals around him: "Secretly send people into the inner palace, once the king dies, we will go immediately."
"Yes". The generals hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. (To be continued.) )
