Chapter 420: Bloodless Blades
What happened in Yurang Dongbao was not known in Taiyuan City. But Huang Fu knew that this matter could not be hidden for too long.
In order to save himself, Huangfu also worked hard, and he carefully selected two assistants, Dou Luyu and Li Jing. Dou Luyu is the chief bookkeeper of the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and the main bookkeeper is the confidant of the governor, and Dou Luyu is also the brother of Princess Han, which undoubtedly has a great help for him to enter the city. For those soldiers in the city who have not yet figured out the situation, especially for the private army of the King of Han, the Doulu Master Book is the representative of the King of Han. And Li Jing was naturally chosen because he needed a reliable and usable army and horse in the city. Huangfu himself does not command the army, but he also knows that Li Jing is a brave and capable general, but he has just been demoted to Bingzhou for a short time, and he has not had a deep relationship with the group of the private army in Bingzhou. Li Jing did not participate in this rebellion, and his subordinates controlled 3,000 elite cavalry, so he naturally became the most suitable assistant.
After making some simple preparations, the three of them set off. The three of them each picked a few more relatives to follow, and Li Jing brought his three brothers, Sima Feng Xiaoci of the first battalion, Fa Cao Lu Yu and Bing Cao Hou Mo Chen Yi.
The team left the East Fort and arrived at the south gate of the West City, and an officer on the city tower immediately poked his head out, and immediately frowned when he saw that it was Sima Huangfu and the chief bookkeeper Dou Lu Yu and Li Jing who came back with a dozen or so people.
"Open the gates!"
Li Jing shouted under the city. When they went out of the city, the city was not closed and the bridge was closed, and now it is not wartime, but now when they come back, the gate is closed, and the drawbridge is closed. This is what Shan Sugui had previously listened to Wang Gong's instructions and specially asked the city gate guards to do. Now that Li Jing saw this, he basically believed in the chaos done by Wang Gong and others. Otherwise, why did they suddenly close their doors and close the bridge?
"Huangfu Sima, Doulu master book. General Lee. The tall officer in the city replied in a loud voice, "Why are you the only ones who have returned?" What about the king when he joins the army? ”
Huangfu sat on his horse and shouted at the city: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun will leave them to talk about things, let's come back first and open the door immediately." ”
"General, do you want to open the door?" A team leader asked.
The tall man thought for a while, and finally said, "Let the suspension bridge open the door." Although he always felt that something was wrong, there was no reason why he should not open the gates. If it was just Li Jing, he could still top it. But there are two more down there, Huangfu and Dou Luyu, who are a small city gate guard. There is no reason to stop these two people from entering the city. But I didn't see Wang join the army, General Liang Zhen and others back.
However, seeing that the three of them only brought back a dozen or so subordinates, he felt that it was okay to open the door.
The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the emperor and other horses entered the city.
"Close the door, close the bridge." After seeing the three of them enter the city, the city gate guard immediately ordered the gate to be closed.
After entering the city, the three broke up, and Huangfu and Dou Luyu went to the Han Palace. Li Jing returned to his first camp.
After Huangfu and Doulu entered the Han Palace, they immediately asked to see the Han princess Doulu.
"Summoning all the troops and horses in Taiyuan City, all officers above the team immediately go to the Han Palace, and the Huangfu Sima and Doulu have the latest order of His Royal Highness the King of Han to read."
The order was swiftly communicated to all battalions and units in the city.
"Why did you suddenly summon me to wait for the palace to discuss the matter?"
"The generals of the battalions went out of the city to greet the grandson, and they haven't come back yet."
There are also some henchmen who are all too bad. Hurriedly discussed quietly with the people around him, "Previously, Wang joined the army and asked us to prepare, but now Huangfu Sima and Doulu have given this order again." Is there nothing wrong? ”
"Why didn't they come back?" An officer asked.
"Could it be that they were tricked by the grandson to take it?"
"No, if so. Then why is the main book of Doulu back, the main book of Doulu is the wife and brother of King Han. If you want to take someone, he won't be able to escape. ”
"Wang Senjun, General Shan and others asked us to prepare before, and now the Doulu master has come back to summon us and others, is it not that Wang Senjun and Doulu are going to do it."
"Let's go to the palace first."
Because Xiao Maha, Pei Wen'an, Qiao Zhongkui and other five tigers were caught at Tianmen Pass, and the remaining eight generals and other important personnel of the state capital were almost wiped out at once in Dongbao, although there were many soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City, there was no leader for a while, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all. In the end, under the orders of Dou Luyu and Huangfu Li, basically all the officers above the team rushed to the palace.
Except for the officers of the 1st battalion, they did not appear.
There are many officers above the rank of the team in Taiyuan City, and the officers at the general level are basically either arrested at Tianmen Pass or in Dongbao, and the officers in the city are basically officers at the regimental level, and they are not qualified to go out of the city to meet the imperial grandson and stay in the city. Now, the order was called, and the third-level officers of the regimental capital team came in response to the order, and there were nearly 1,000 of these middle-level officers with tens of thousands of horses.
Huangfu and Dou Lu Yu sat in front of the Han Palace, and behind them, the Han princess Dou Lu wore a bevel, and her young Han prince also appeared in front of the palace.
"Are they all there?" Huangfu salivated and asked Dou Luyu.
Dou Luyu looked at the head of Wuyang, estimated that there were almost a thousand people, the number was about the same as the estimated number, and nodded to Huangfu at the moment, "Almost." ”
Huangfu salivated and turned to a soldier standing beside him, "Inform General Li that you can do it?" ”
The soldier departed, and a moment later, a sudden scream rang out in the sky.
"It's a ringing arrow!" The officers on the field looked up one after another and immediately discerned what was emanating.
Almost as soon as the arrows rang out, the sound of horses' hooves pounding on the ground suddenly sounded in all directions.
"It's cavalry."
"Why did the cavalry come here like this?"
"Oh no, something happened." There were also officers who were quick to react, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, Mingdi, the cavalry, and then the thousands of officers gathered here. "Someone is going to catch them all and be fooled."
It's a pity that it's too late to understand, Li Jing has already led his first battalion of 3,000 light cavalry to rush from all directions, and quickly surrounded the thousands of officers.
Someone jumped out and asked, "Li Jing, are you going to rebel?" ”
Li Jing sneered on the horse: "This will be ordered by the emperor's grandson, everyone will cooperate with each other, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot." ”
Someone didn't believe in evil and planned to leave forcibly, Li Jing caught up with him, and the horse lance stabbed through the man's vest, and with the impact of the war horse, Li Jing shouted, and directly picked up the officer, standing tall in the air, and circled the field three times.
There was a sudden silence on the field, and no matter how much it said, it was not as shocking as this naked and direct assassination.
Li Jing is serious.
Huangfu Yi and Dou Luyu also took the opportunity to stand up and announced in public that Wang Gong and other state officials conspired to rebel and transfer troops to attack the emperor's grandson, but the two did not mention Yang Liang's involvement. It's just that there are many high-ranking military officers involved in it, and now His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince has already taken it with half Wang Yan and others. He asked all the officers to cooperate with the investigation and temporarily surrender the military power.
"This is just for the purpose of investigation, as long as you are not involved in the reverse case, Your Highness will not wronged you. However, those who refuse to cooperate with the investigation will be against the party and will be killed on the spot. The emperor announced coldly.
Dou Luyu also explained over and over again, "This is just an investigation, as long as it is found out that it is innocent, I will let you go back immediately." ”
Under the threat of Li Jing's cavalry spears and bows and arrows, there was the poor chicken that was killed by Li Jing and hacked the monkey, and there was no accident on the field. One by one, the officers threw down their weapons and were taken away by the soldiers of the first battalion.
"Good." Seeing that the situation was going well, Huangfu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "General Li Jing, the first step was successful, and now General Li needs to immediately send someone to take over the various departments, let them stay in the camp, and restrain and pacify them." ”
"Understood." Li Jing was also a little surprised by the smooth nature of the matter, and he would encounter resistance in the past, but the fact was so smooth. Now that the senior and middle-ranking officers have been charged, the matter is half successful, and the rest of the army has lost the command of the officers, and it is difficult to make any waves.
The follow-up progress of the matter was as they expected, after the high-level and high-level generals were all wiped out, the troops below were not even clear about what had happened, and when the soldiers and horses sent by Li Jing took over the troops in the name of the imperial grandson and the king of Jin, there were no accidents. Occasionally, a few of them made a little mess, but they were quickly suppressed.
By the afternoon, the three of them had successfully completed the task given to them by Yi Feng, and they controlled Taiyuan City, although this kind of control was a little reluctant, but it did control Taiyuan.
"Open the city gate and invite the imperial grandson into the city." Huangfu stood on the south gate of Xicheng and shouted in a somewhat excited voice.
Dou Luyu escorted her sister Princess Han and her nephew and several concubines of King Han out of the city to Dongbao first, "The matter has been done." ”
Seeing that Dou Luyu sent Princess Han and King Han's son over, Yi Feng believed that the matter had indeed been completed.
"Please ask King Qingzhang to lead his troops across the river." Yi Feng said to Li Mi.
Yang Xiong was still a little surprised when he received Yi Feng's order, why did he still have to lead troops into the city? However, he did not refuse this order, and immediately ordered the whole army to cross the bridge and cross the river and enter Taiyuan.
Yang Xiong led his troops across the Yurang Bridge, where Yi Feng was already waiting for him.
"Why did His Highness suddenly let a certain lead troops across the river, is this to enter Taiyuan City?"
"That's right, enter Taiyuan City."
"Then we're not on our way?"
"There's no hurry."
After Yi Feng and Yang Xiong converged, they led more than 10,000 elites to slowly drive to the south gate of Taiyuan Xicheng.
There, Huangfu and Li Jing had already driven out of the city with a group of soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City, and lined up a phalanx outside the south gate.
Li Jingzong came to Yi Feng's horse: "Report to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, the garrison of Taiyuan City and the army of the King of Han, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, all out of the city, please review Your Highness!" ”
Yi Feng smiled at Li Jing slightly, this is not a review, this is a surrender.
The 50,000 official troops in Taiyuan and the private army of the King of Han have all become prisoners of Yi Feng at this moment, and Taiyuan City has finally opened its doors to itself.
Taiyuan is its own.
