Chapter 1198: Disgraced Forbidden Army

Ma Weiyi's mutiny was undoubtedly an earth-shaking earthquake for the Fourth Army of the Northern Ya, which was supposed to be loyal to the monarch and guard. Because of the lack of food in the army, or the unwillingness to leave their families and flee west to Shuzhong, in just three or four days, there were thousands of soldiers who fled. In the turmoil that followed, the soldiers in the army coerced Chen Xuanli to take the lead, first forcing Yang Yuyao to commit suicide, and then after the arrival of Shuofang and Anbei troops, they killed Yang Guozhong in anger, which finally expressed the anger in their hearts.

But when Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi led a large army to Chang'an to quell the rebellion, and Chen Xuanli led the four armies of the Northern Ya to stay in Maweiyi to reorganize the army, and escorted those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren back to Chang'an, the number of people did not increase, but fled and no less than thousands. Some people are worried that the Son of Heaven will liquidate the responsibility for the mutiny, some people are dissatisfied with the duties of the Son of Heaven's forbidden army, and would rather go to Shuofang or even Anbei to join the army incognito, and some people are taking advantage of this troubled era to plan to do something without capital...... All in all, when they finally returned to Chang'an, this forbidden army, which had been carefully built by many emperors from generation to generation, not only had its strength plummeted, but also completely lost its military soul.

In the four armies of the Northern Ya in history, only more than 1,000 people followed Li Longji to Bashu, and only more than 100 people followed Li Heng to Lingwu, and the rest all fled on the road. Although the current general trend has undergone a fundamental reversal, although there are still 10,000 people left in the Fourth Army of the Northern Ya, what is the fate of the forbidden army that has lost the trust of the Son of Heaven? Not to mention that the soldiers at the bottom are worried about the future, the generals at the top also feel that their careers are hopeless. Because of this, when the palace quietly sent rich rewards several times, and promised not to blame the past, he finally concealed Chen Xuanli and gathered one or two groups of soldiers and horses.

Now, in this way, the two groups of soldiers and horses have no time to react at all, brazenly out of the palace, and directly drove into Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang, which are adjacent to Dongshi and facing each other from north to south.

Two murderous soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the city in broad daylight, which immediately caused an uproar. Especially when someone found out that the forbidden army was surrounded by Pingkangfang Cui Mansion and Xuanyangfang Du Mansion, I don't know how many people hurriedly reported in all directions. Things have developed to this point, and everyone realizes that Chang'an City is afraid that the sky is about to change again!

"General, are you really going to rush in?"

In front of the Du Mansion, Zuo Yulin's general Wei Guang glanced left and right, and saw that many soldiers had fearful expressions on their faces and eyes, he couldn't help but spit on him, and said viciously: "This Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of His Majesty, don't forget that you have already received a large reward!" Listen to it all, at this time, there is no advance or retreat, and those who dare to hesitate will be killed! Break the door for me! ”

Under Wei Guang's encouragement, a few soldiers finally mustered up the courage to rush forward and smashed the gate of the Du Mansion with the big axe in their hands. The thumping sound seemed to ring in everyone's hearts, and some people couldn't bear to turn their heads away, but more people licked their lips, thinking in their hearts how much gold and silver treasures they could scavenge from it if they really captured this place later. After all, Du Shiyi has been out of town for many years, and it is rumored that he is an extremely good businessman, not to mention that his family is rich.

However, for Wei Guang, who was ordered to capture the Du Mansion today, under his calm and resolute appearance, there was worry at this moment.

The only thing he can control is these more than 500 soldiers and horses, and the same is true for Liu An, who went to Cui's house in Pingkangfang on the other side. To capture this kind of residence in Chang'an, which is built by the Ministry of Industry, such a small number of soldiers and horses must be enough. However, in such an unexpected situation, no one answered, no one scolded, and it was so quiet as if there was no one, and he really couldn't feel at ease. You know, this time he can be regarded as holding his head in his hands, if it weren't for Li Longji's temptation to give a town festival envoy, if he didn't know that Du Youlin was here, he would never have taken this trip.

Just now he told his subordinates that there is no advance or retreat, and now is not the time to hesitate!

"I'm still stunned for what, if four is not enough, I will go to eight, I don't believe that this door is made of stone! For the rest, let me climb over the wall and get in! ”

With his shout, someone finally joined in with a loud shout. The soldiers who had just smashed the door with axes in the first round were out of breath and retreated, wiping their sweat as they watched their companions in front of them pick up axes and smash them on the gate, watching a man build a ladder over the wall. But as the first person went up the wall, the movement suddenly froze.

"General, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside!"

If it was just one person who said this, Wei Guang would definitely scold him angrily, but as several people who climbed the wall said this, his heart sank unconsciously. No one in the Du family? Did they all retreat to one defense, or did they already know that the news was hidden? If it's the former, then after storming in, you can always find clues, but if it's the latter......

Wei Guang didn't dare to think about that possibility anymore, and shouted loudly: "Impossible! His Majesty ordered General Gao to send an order to Du Youlin, asking him to send soldiers and horses to garrison the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, so that he could go home and reunite with his father. It can't be that there is no one, there must be fraud, attack him, take him down! ”

However, as soon as the order to attack was given, he heard the sound of earth-shattering killing. He looked around blankly, and saw that the soldiers under his command were all pale and pale, which was not much better than him, and he was completely distraught. The soldiers on the wall stood tall and saw far away, and someone suddenly shouted loudly: "It's the Anbei Forward Battalion, it's the horse army of the Anbei Forward Battalion rushing over!" ”

That night's Chang'an siege battle, the forbidden army still stayed in Ma Weiyi to guard those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, and did not witness the tragic battle, but afterwards the scene of corpses all over the field, they had heard many officials and people in Chang'an City mention, the most famous of which is that Azler and the forward battalion killed a thousand enemies, and lost eight hundred of their own bravery. Although this was on the streets of Chang'an City, not the plains outside Chang'an City, he had no way to boost his morale, and even the courage he had disappeared without a trace. All he knew was that this time the matter was revealed!

"Catch up! Don't be afraid of them, meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Wei Guang shouted this sentence hoarsely, but when he saw countless cowardly and cowering faces, he understood that these words had no effect at all, so he could only hurriedly change his words and say, "This is Chang'an, not anywhere else, their move is tantamount to rebellion......"

However, before he finished speaking, he only heard a loud shout from the other side that seemed to explode in his ears: "As a forbidden army, you dare to privately surround Du Xiangguo's mansion, do you want to rebel and cause trouble and bring disaster to your family?" Don't drop your weapons quickly and surrender on your knees! ”

The big hat of rebellion and rebellion was suddenly buckled down, and then it was a disaster for the family, not only Wei Guang's face changed greatly, but the forbidden army generals who were barely holding swords and guns just now suddenly had no will to fight. Seeing a rider holding the banner of the Anbei Forward Battalion coming out in a row, with a bright red tassel tied to his helmet and a bright red tassel, it was Azler himself, and there was a riot in the forbidden army. With the sound of someone throwing the weapon on the ground, such an action suddenly spread rapidly, and in an instant, I don't know how many people dropped their weapons like throwing away a hot potato, and then knelt down.

In the face of this scene, although Wei Guang knew that the general trend had gone, when Li Longji personally went to Yintaimen to inspect the forbidden army, he had revealed something to him, so even if he was lucky enough to have one in a million, he still shouted: "Don't fall for him, Your Majesty is in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion at the moment, and we are on the orders of Your Majesty to arrest the key criminals!" ”

"King Yong and the king of Xiangcheng father and son assassinated His Majesty, plotted rebellion, and committed suicide, His Majesty is now seriously injured, how can it be possible to give you any will to arrest the culprit! Someone, take Wei Guang down, and send it to Yushitai for inquiry! ”

Yongwang Li Lan and Xiangcheng King Li Yixing stabbed the Son of Heaven? And both father and son are dead? Wei Guang was simply stunned by this news, even if none of his subordinates supported him as the main general, even if a group of cavalry around Azler rushed towards him, his whole head and heart were still like paste. It wasn't until he was dragged off the horse and forced to kneel on the ground that he realized what had happened, and the whole person suddenly lost the slightest strength to resist.

At this time, Azler slowly rode his horse back, looking at the gate of the Du Mansion that was still standing majestically under the sword and axe, he breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go in, but said to his side: "Leave fifty people to guard here, and then go to a messenger to Pingkangfang Cui Mansion to see if it can be solved over there." The rest of the people, put away all the weapons of these rebels, and then escort them to the Imperial Tower! If you resist, you will be killed! ”

After all, the Flying Dragon Rider has to stay in the palace for a long time, and it is not good to do this kind of thing, but he has no scruples!

The back door and backyard of Cui's house in Pingkangfang have just experienced a fight. Although the north of Pingkangfang is a place where prostitutes gather, there are often many dignitaries and dignitaries living in other villages, including the old residences of Pei Guangting and Li Linfu, as well as many Jinjuan courtyards. The Cui family was able to open the door directly along the street because of Cui Ge's brother Cui Tai's brother who had the same three products, and the halberd in front of the door could open the door directly, unlike Du Shiyi, who politely refused this preferential treatment when he was the duke. But the forbidden army did not choose to attack directly at Wutoumen on the street, but brazenly broke into Pingkangfang and surrounded the back door of Cui's house.

In the face of such a scene, pedestrians avoided it, but when well-informed people learned that they had surrounded Cui's house, they immediately sent someone to rescue Shuo Fang Jinjuan, who was close to Du Shiyi. As for the Cui family itself, Cui Jiuniang happened to return to the door, and when she heard this situation, she was willing to show weakness, and plucked Cui Wuniang and Du Shisanniang to directly reward the family, and tried their best to resist the enemy, even if Azler's men came in time, with the help of their own people and others, the forbidden army actually left more than a dozen corpses at the back door and backyard of the Cui family! When the battlefield was finally cleared, the dead bodies brought out of the backyard made onlookers point at them, and even a drooping boy asked.

"Uncle, didn't you say that the North Gate Forbidden Army is the most powerful in Chang'an City? Why can't even the Cui family's family members beat it? ”

Faced with such a question, many people who heard it sighed, but no one could answer it. When the rebels besieged the city before, the four armies of the North Gate almost fled, and now they have come back in a sparse manner, but they have done such an outrageous thing today. And it is said that the Son of Heaven was fortunate to ride the Sixteen Princes' mansion, and was assassinated by the father and son of King Yong, and now this Tang Dynasty, where is it going?
