Chapter 66: Wancheng Rebellion
Wu Han saw them turn around and run towards the city gate, but he was not in a hurry or impatient, holding a halberd and slowly moving forward, although he was only one person, but the momentum he exuded was like a thousand troops. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie ran to the city gate, the gate was closed, and he shouted towards the city tower: "Liu Xiu is reversed!" Come on! ”
The soldiers on the city wall were expressionless, not moving, as if watching a play, bowing and patting their heads, since they dared to have a showdown, then Yecheng must have been controlled, so they could only force their soldiers to storm the city gate.
The defenders had already taken precautions, and before they could get close to the tower, the archers in ambush unceremoniously beckoned them and pressed them back.
The city gate was impassable, and seeing Wu Han getting closer and closer, Xie Bow gritted his teeth, "Turn back!" Take down Wu Han! We still have a chance to live! ”
He was completely out of proportion, and Wu Han was not stunned, since he could set up an ambush on the city wall, how could he not think of his safety.
Seeing dozens of pro-soldiers rushing closer and closer, Wu Han stopped, lifted his spear and struck it heavily on the ground, making a crisp loud noise, and hundreds of armored sergeants suddenly poured out of the houses on both sides of the street.
"It's over!" Xie Gong finally recognized the reality, his life is broken today, because he is very proud of his bones, and he will never take refuge in the "chaotic ministers and thieves".
Wu Han didn't stay out of the matter, with a wave of his halberd, he joined the battle, and the people who set up an ambush here today were the first to follow Su Yun's elite soldiers, much stronger than Xie Gong's own soldiers, and it didn't take long for Xie Gong to be the only one left on the field.
At this time, he was already injured all over his body, and he could only stagger and rely on the long sword in his hand to keep it on the ground, and the soldiers surrounded him with weapons, and Wu Han slowly walked up to him.
"Is there anything else you'd like to explain?"
Xie Bow spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said with a miserable smile: "Liu Xiu is so calculating, I have nothing to say about losing, I admit that His Majesty is indeed not his opponent, but the eldest husband stands up to the sky, I Xie Bow is not a generation of three or four generations, if you want to kill, you will kill, just want to die quickly." ”
"I admire your courage, but I don't dare to agree with your persistence, the fault is not you, you can only complain about this troubled world." Wu Han bowed to Xie dignifiedly, raised the knife in his hand, and ended his life.
Jia Fu went and returned, bowed to the corpse of Xie Gong, and ordered the soldiers to collect the remains and bury them thickly.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and Su Yun could only sigh after receiving the news, he had already done his duty.
It didn't take long for Su Yun's army to arrive at Yecheng, and with the cooperation of Cen Peng, he collected all the leaderless Zhao Han army, and then continued to pursue the scattered Youlai army non-stop.
A few days later, the main force of the desperate Youlai army surrendered to Su Yun, so that the whole of Hebei had no forces that could threaten him, and the few surviving bandit armies were quickly wiped out, and Hebei finally regained stability.
Liu Xuan of Wancheng did not receive the news of Xie Gong's destruction, and he was now taking care of himself.
Just when Xie bowed and defeated Longxi Mountain, the Red Mei army poured out of Shandong, and the Xuanhan army was defeated and retreated under surprise, Liu Xuan immediately ordered Li Song to lead 200,000 troops to meet it, but Fan Chong's ambush, nearly half of the dead and wounded, and fled back in disgrace, Wancheng was already in danger.
The imperial court suddenly panicked, and in the Biyang Palace, the old generals of the Green Forest family, Shen Tujian, Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin secretly gathered together, and Wang Kuang, who had been idle at home for a long time, sat on the main seat.
"The Red Eyebrow Army is coming, and now Wancheng is no longer safe, I think it is better to rob all the money in the city in advance, and then retreat to the south, it's a big deal to go back to Lulin Mountain and continue to be the king of the mountain." Zhang Wei said in a low voice, and several generals around him also nodded, it seems that they have already passed the breath.
Only since Liu Xuan was in power, these old generals of the green forest were suppressed everywhere, and they had already held their breath.
Wang Kuang shook his head, "If there is no emperor, we can only be bandits, and the heroes of all parties will no longer be subdued, and sooner or later we will be wiped out by Fan Chong." ”
"What does King Biyang mean?"
"Liu Xuan can't be lost, but he can't be left in power, I think we also put him on the throne in Jianyang, it's better to let him be a hostage honestly, and use his name to recruit troops and horses, as long as we reorganize the army, we may not be afraid of Fan Chong." Wang Kuang said in a deep voice.
"But Liu Xuan has always been very wary of us, and the guards in the palace are also all over his lineage, so it's not easy to start!" Shen Tujian frowned.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a man walked in.
"This is Yu Shi Kui, his own people." Wang Kuang introduced.
Kui Huan saluted the generals present, and said slowly: "It is not difficult to take down the emperor, it will be the beginning of autumn in a few days, although the battle situation is unfavorable, but according to the dynasty system, the emperor still has to go out of the city to worship, which is the best opportunity for us to start." ”
Wang Kuang continued: "Li Song and Zhu Kun just happened to be reorganizing the army outside, and Zhao Meng was also sent to Xinfeng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as we move fast enough and move south quickly before they react, there should be no problem." ”
The generals nodded their heads, and the matter was settled.
It's a pity that what they don't know is that Liu Nengqing, the waiter who came with Kui, went straight to the Wancheng Palace after the meeting ended.
Liu Xuan has always been suspicious, and has sent a lot of eyes and ears to lurk around various important ministers, and Liu Nengqing is just one of them.
Hearing his report, Liu Xuan was furious, he would never allow his rights to be threatened.
If he is a competent monarch, he will definitely treat this matter cautiously in this current situation in the field, and try to minimize internal friction, but unfortunately Liu Xuan is not this kind of person, he only wants to kill all the people who disobey him now, and he will not consider the consequences at all.
The next day, Liu Xuan issued an edict to let the generals of the Green Forest family enter the palace to face the saint.
The generals did not doubt him, and they all entered the palace, but they waited in the side hall for a long time, and they never saw Liu Xuan appear, Wang Kuang immediately felt that something was wrong, and he also made a decision immediately, and immediately rushed out, Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, Hu Yin and Shen Tujian also followed closely when they saw this.
As soon as they walked on the front foot, they rushed into hundreds of internal guards from outside the door, slashed with a knife, and the generals had already put down their weapons when they entered the palace, where could they resist it, although many of the generals present were from the green forest, but they did not participate in the conspiracy, and saw Wang Kuang and others hurriedly running out, and for a while they did not understand what was happening, and they inexplicably became a substitute for the dead ghosts.
In fact, Liu Xuan should have done it a long time ago, he has been waiting for Kui Huan, where is Kui Huan now? He had already escaped from Wancheng overnight, after conspiracy last night, Liu Nengqing entered the palace to report the news, and when he came back, he happened to be bumped into by him, he was very unkind and did not inform Wang Kuang, and the soles of his feet slipped with oil.
Not long after Wang Kuang and the others rushed out of the side hall, they heard a miserable scream behind them, and they were so frightened that their steps sped up a few points, and they rushed to the palace gate in a blink of an eye.
Liu Xuan didn't expect Wang Kuang to be so vigilant, in order to avoid leaking the news in advance, and the matter was in a hurry, he just ordered the palace door to be closed tightly, and did not inform the guards to be on guard in advance.
Wang Kuang saw the opportunity quickly, lied to the emperor's order, and asked the guards to open the palace gate, but these guards did not suspect it at all, and slowly opened the door under the order.
"Don't let these thieves go!" At this moment, the internal guard chased after him and shouted loudly.
The palace gate guards didn't understand what was going on for a while, Wang Kuang and the others took advantage of their gods, burst out, grabbed the weapons and killed the guards, and rushed towards the outside of the palace.
"Whoosh!"
The powerful arrow shot up from behind, and Shen Tujian, who was running at the end, screamed and was shot in the thigh, Wang Kuang and the others didn't pay attention to his call for help at all, and ran away without looking back.
Shen Tujian was soon hacked to death by the pursuers, and he died without seeing it.
