Chapter 608: One or Two?
On the side of Xuanwumen, Zhong Bin has been sending people to follow the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who have rebelled. When the people he sent saw the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp going to the palace, they immediately returned to the Xuanwu Gate and reported what they saw to Zhong Bin.
When Zhong Bin heard this, his face, which had always been calm and calm, changed dramatically at this moment. "To the palace? Are you sure? ”
"If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates will be sure."
After listening to the brocade guard's answer, Zhong Bin only muttered for a few breaths, and then immediately ordered: "Leave half of the people to guard the city, and the other half of the people will go with me." ”
"Yes!" The brocade guards responded in unison.
In addition, on the side of Chongwenmen, Geng Zhongqiu, who has always been well-informed, doesn't know how much of his own eyeliner is installed in Beijing. When the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were transferred to the palace, Geng Zhongqiu soon received the news.
After he heard that the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were rushing towards the palace, his reaction was almost the same as Zhong Bin, and he directly ordered without thinking about it: "Leave 3,000 people to guard the city, and the rest will follow me into the palace to escort you!" ”
On the side of the palace, Li Cheng is not stupid, he knows that there must be a large number of guards guarding the left and right doors. And after attacking from the left and right gates, it will take a long time to hit the harem, which is not very safe.
In order to be able to hit the ground running, Li Cheng ordered Wang Song to take 10,000 people to attack the left and right gates, while he himself took a large number of troops to attack the capital directly from this road on the side of the lamp market.
As Li Cheng estimated, most of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division were sent to defend the city, so the palace was empty to guard. When Li Cheng had already killed Donghua Gate, the guards in the palace reacted.
Hundreds of Yulin guards hurried to the Donghua Gate under the leadership of Yulin Wei Qianhu, but by the time they arrived, the Donghua Gate had already been breached.
The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp entered the Forbidden City, which was different from the appearance they faced when they faced the Jinyi Guard and the disciples of the Thousand Sects, when they faced the palace maids and eunuchs, these soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp looked extremely fierce.
They fought all the way, and the persecuted Yu Linwei had to give up the Donghua Gate. Yu Linwei and the eunuchs and maids in the palace ran to the palace one after another. After entering the harem, these people went straight to Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace is where Cui Rushuang lives, although Jiang Xia has not officially decreed the canonization of his wife. But in his Jiang family, Cui Rushuang has always been the eldest lady of the main room.
First, she has a pungent personality with boldness, which can suppress everyone, and at the same time make everyone love her. Second, she and Cui Niannu were the first to follow Jiang Xia, and according to the order of entry, she must be the biggest.
Therefore, after entering the palace, Jiang Xia directly arranged for Cui Rushuang to live in Kunning Palace.
However, although these ladies in Jiangxia all have their own separate palaces, they often get together because of their good feelings. Especially when Jiang Xia left Jingshi, they would stay together all the time and get rid of the loneliness when Jiang Xia was not there.
At this moment in Kunning Palace, Cui Rushuang, Cui Niannu, Xue Yi, Xue Ruqin and others happen to be all there. Yu Lin Wei Zuo Qianhu Fan Gang took Yu Lin Wei to Kunning Palace in a hurry, and broke into the palace directly without being transmitted. After seeing Cui Rushuang and them, Fan Gang immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Humble Yu Lin Wei Zuo Qianhu Fan Gang, see all the ladies and sisters." ”
Cui Rushuang looked at Fan Gang and frowned slightly, she didn't know what was going on. However, before she could ask, Fan Gang had already begun to say: "Please evacuate immediately with the lowly position, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division and the Beijing battalion have rebelled, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses have broken through the Donghua Gate, and now they are rushing towards the harem." ”
"What?" As soon as Fan Gang spoke, Cui Rushuang and the others snorted one after another. Cui Rushuang's gaze swept over the faces of the sisters, and then immediately said: "Cui Niannu, Yin Jiaojiao, Yin Shiqin, Shangguan Ziyue, Wei Jingjing, Yang Jingjing, Li Ruliu, Wumu Zhuzhan." You don't know martial arts, so leave with them first. I, Utuya, Xueyi, Xue Ruqin, Su Meiniang, go out and have a look. ”
"Okay." Xue Yi and Ruqin immediately responded. Wu Mu Zhuzhan stood up very angrily and said, "Eldest sister, I know martial arts, I want to be with you." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ruliu and Shangguan Ziyue also stood up and said, "We sisters, if you want to go, you can go together, and if you want to stay, you can stay together." We will not leave you alone and escape alone. ”
Cui Rushuang looked at the few of them, and her brows immediately furrowed. She said: "You guys don't want to see Xianggong again, do you?" ”
"If we leave you and run away, then we will really have no face to see each other." Wei Jingjing said.
Cui Rushuang sighed, looked at Fan Gang and said, "If we withdraw with you, are you sure that our safety will be guaranteed?" ”
Fan Gang didn't think too much about it after hearing this, and directly shook his head and said: "If you go back to your mother, it's useless to be lowly, and you can't guarantee the safety of your mother." But I swear that I will protect you with my life. ”
Cui Rushuang nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case." Then we won't leave, I believe that the emperor will definitely come to save us, definitely! ”
"Yes, Xianggong will definitely come to save us." Wu Tuya, Yang Jingjing, and Yin Jiaojiao also said in unison.
Seeing Cui Rushuang's decision, Fan Gang was in trouble for a while. However, he is only a thousand households of Yulinwei, and he can't force Cui Rushuang and them at all. So Fan Gang saluted to the women and said, "I understand the humble position." ”
After speaking, Fan Gang stood up and shouted: "Everyone obeys orders, guard Kunning Palace, and those who take a step back will die!" ”
"Yes!" Yu Linwei, who was with Fan Gang, immediately withdrew from Kunning Palace.
Cui Rushuang snorted coldly and said, "Wait a minute!" ”
Fan Gang, who had just stood up, stopped.
Cui Rushuang stretched out her hand to Fan Gang and said, "One weapon with each of us." ”
Fan Gang was slightly stunned, and immediately responded: "Yes!" ”
At that moment, Fan Gang asked Yu Linwei to remove the short knife that accompanied him and distributed it to Cui Rushuang and others. Cui Rushuang held a short knife in her hand and glanced at Xue Ruqin and Xue Yi.
Xue Ruqin nodded, got up and walked out of Kunning Palace with Cui Rushuang.
Seeing this Cui Rushuang, Xue Yi, Xue Ruqin, Wu Mu Zhu Zhan, Wu Tuya, and Su Meiniang walk out of Kunning Palace. Cui Niannu hurriedly clasped his hands together, and kept chanting in his mouth: "Xianggong, you must hurry back." ”
And at this moment, where is Jiang Xia?
Jiang Xia had already brought the army of returning reinforcements to the Beijing Division. He has two choices at the moment, one is to directly enter the Beijing Division and participate in the defense of the Beijing Division. This will inevitably ensure that the capital is not lost.
The second is to go around behind the enemy army as he calculated in his heart, and directly kill the enemy by surprise. If this is successful, then this battle may directly affect the entire pattern after the Ming Dynasty.
One or two? Jiang Xia hesitated and couldn't make a decision, he didn't know that the safety of the palace was in danger now, and if he chose two, he would definitely not be able to return to help.
