Chapter 1177 - Doing the Game
Hu Hao's private job is to help his younger brother Hu Yong in Wudang Mountain compete for the position of successor to the head of the teaching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wudang has flourished since Zhang Sanfeng opened the school, and the six disciples have made achievements, flourishing and deep-rooted, especially after Zhang Sanfeng's younger disciple Sun Biyun took over the position of the head of the sect, he won the favor of Zhu Di with the saying that "the Yongle Emperor is the reincarnation of Zhenwu", and took away the position of the leader of Taoism in the world from the hands of the long-standing Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
Don't look at this Taoist leader seems to be ethereal, in fact, the gold content is very high, not to mention that he is in charge of all the affairs of Taoism in the world, just say that the dynasty worships Taoism and suppresses Buddhism, the vast majority of princes, nobles, gentry and officials believe in Taoism, and naturally worship Taoist leaders as gods. It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of devout believers, Sun Zhenren's words are better than holy decrees!
If you can ascend to the throne of Wudang Mountain, you will immediately gain a transcendent status in the Ming Dynasty, infinite contacts, and inexhaustible financial resources, and you will be invincible in everything! Therefore, with Sun Zhenren announcing that he would hand over the position of head of the sect after his ninetieth birthday, and no longer care about the secular affairs of the sect. Sun Zhenren's only son died twenty years ago, and although Sun Xianyun is excellent, after all, the disadvantage of his generation is there. Those uncles and uncles who thought they had a chance launched a fierce competition for the throne of the master.
Although Hu Hao is still vulgar, his younger brother Hu Yong is still in the door, but he is not very successful. Hu Hao made up his mind to send his younger brother to the position of head of the sect and turn Wudang Mountain into his private property, so he sent a large number of people to help Hu Yong form a gang, fight and frame, and even directly assassinate his competitors. In order to facilitate remote command, Hu Hao ordered people to train carrier pigeons to maintain rapid contact with his younger brother.
These situations, under the pervasive investigation of Jinyiwei, have all surfaced a long time ago. When Wang Xian decided to complete this strategic deception, he immediately thought of the carrier pigeon exchange between Hu Hao and Hu Yong!
He believed that Zhang Fu would definitely do everything possible to determine his whereabouts. Before there is definite news, it is impossible for Zhang Fu to make up his mind, and Taisun will worry that it will change later, so in the end, Hu Hao will definitely say the existence of this communication channel!
So Wang Xian and Lingxiao left Jinan under the escort of Dai Hua and others, and soon after they got on the road, he quietly left the team and went north, while Lingxiao and Xianyun rushed to Wudang Mountain with evidence of Hu Yong's murder and framing of the same door. Secretly went up the mountain to see Sun Zhenren, the old man was naturally furious, and let people raid Hu Yong's house overnight. With the assistance of Jinyiwei, no one was missed, and not a carrier pigeon was flown away, so Hu Yong and his group were all arrested.
The interrogation of Hu Yong was even smoother, this waste wood who only knew that he relied on his brother's fox and fake tiger power was an out-and-out soft bone. confessed to the crime before he was tortured, and sold his brother Hu Qi cleanly.
Now, just waiting for Hu Qi's carrier pigeon to fly. This process was naturally very painful, Xianyun and the others looked up at the sky all day long, and saw all kinds of birds flying by, but they didn't see the waiting carrier pigeons.
"It's too late!" Dai Hua's patience ran out, and suggested: "Why don't we just ask Hu Yong to write to his brother, saying that he saw the adults go to Wudang Mountain, right?" ”
"No way!" Xianyun said categorically: "That will be recognized!" According to Wang Xian's meaning, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. ”
"If we don't come today, we won't be able to release the pigeons." Dai Hua said with a bitter face: "Won't we toss in vain?" ”
"It won't affect the overall situation," Xianyun glanced at Dai Hua and continued to meditate: "It's just that you win more and win less......
"Young Master Xianyun, you are becoming more and more like a master." Dai Hua looked at Xianyun, who was becoming more and more free of fireworks, and couldn't help but sigh. However, he also admitted that Xianyun was right, as long as Wang Xian was in the capital, this would be a victory without suspense, just the size of the victory.
Everyone waited patiently for another day, and the damn carrier pigeon finally arrived, and quickly asked Hu Yong to reply to Hu Qi and release the returning carrier pigeon. But the time has been delayed for half a day, and no one can say whether the letter can be delivered in time. Of course, people in this era will not understand that the flight of birds is greatly affected by the air currents and wind direction, and in this season of the return of migratory birds, all factors are the most conducive to the flight of birds to the north, and the result is that the carrier pigeon is not late, but arrives half a day early!
When he received a reply from Wudangshan, Zhang Fu finally made up his mind and ordered someone to launch a coup d'état. As a result, he fell into the trap dug by Wang Xian.
He placed the families of the guards of Bei'anmen and Dong'anmen under house arrest, but was rescued by Jinyiwei in the early morning. Just in case, Wu Wei personally commanded this rescue, mobilized the most elite forces, and arranged the most thorough plan. As a result, it was naturally not surprising that Zhang Fu's people didn't even run out to report the news, and they were all wiped out.
When Liu Gui and Wang Chan, who were getting together with a long sigh, saw Jinyiwei appear, they immediately realized that the incident at the east window had happened, and they were hesitating whether to fight hard, but they saw Wu Wei leading a child in one hand and appeared in front of them.
Liu Gui and Wang Chan were stunned for a moment, and immediately gave up resistance, because it was their son! It should have been in Zhang Fu's hands!
Wu Wei let go of his hand, and the two frightened children threw themselves into their father's arms and cried, and when they settled down, the two asked about the situation, and immediately knelt down to express their allegiance to the emperor and obedience to the prince of Zhenguo. They didn't dare to disobey, because it was Jinyiwei who rescued their family, and it was their family who fell into the hands of Jinyiwei. Since the Zhenguo Gong can hold them hostage, the notorious Jinyi Wei is naturally even more stressless.
As for the guards of the other two city gates, they were originally from Wang Xian's side, and they were protected or monitored by the Jinyi guards, so naturally nothing could go wrong.
With the four gates of the imperial city in hand, the situation is very active. Before the officials went to court, at the same time as the noon gate was opened, the four gates of the imperial city were closed in time, and the army outside the imperial city did not have time to rush over, so they were blocked outside the imperial city gate, and the difficulty of entering the imperial city increased exponentially! This is an incomparably heavy blow to the psychology of the soldiers!
Don't forget, the soldiers of the forbidden army are all ancestors who served as soldiers, and they have been taught to be loyal and patriotic from below, but now they are allowed to attack the palace, which is bound to provoke strong resistance! If you can attack without hindrance and with great momentum, it is better to say, once you encounter obstacles, the guilt and fear in the hearts of the soldiers will explode and drown everything!
Sure enough, when they saw that the gate of the imperial city was closed, and the defenders on the tower of the gate were warning them with arrows and not allowed to approach, the soldiers of the forbidden army obviously hesitated, and stood at a distance, looking at each other there. The generals gave the order to attack the city hoarsely, but the officers and soldiers in the middle and lower ranks just wanted to figure out what was going on?
"Are you deaf?!" The officers who participated in the coup d'état were anxious, if they could not attack the imperial city on time, it would probably lead to a complete loss, and they would lose their own lives! In desperation, the officers drew their swords and killed several soldiers who were stagnant, carrying swords dripping with blood, and roared at their subordinates: "Immediately attack the city, this is a military order!" Disobedient behead! ”
The obedience to military orders cultivated over the years finally dominated the body and mind of the soldiers of the forbidden army, and they suppressed the fear and incomprehension in their hearts, and began to push the siege equipment forward, preparing to attack the city.
"That's right! There are only 200 defenders at one city gate, and we can drown them with a single spit! The officers were hoarse and morale-boosting.
Who knew that at this time, on the city wall of the four gates of the capital, countless elite soldiers suddenly appeared! That's the Shenji Battalion, the Warrior Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard!
Before, the Tartar officials bought by Zhang Hui had been taken down and beheaded by Liu Sheng according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, and the internal purge was completed with a thunderous momentum! Then the 20,000 soldiers of the Fourth Guard Battalion went to Chengtianmen, Dong'anmen, Xi'anmen, and Bei'anmen to assist the defenders in defense.
Originally, under the coercion of the generals, the soldiers of the forbidden army could barely bully the number of officers and soldiers guarding the gate. At this time, there were 6,000 defenders at each city gate, and they were the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, fighting for His Majesty the Emperor who guarded them, and burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness. With just that simple siege equipment, it is impossible for the soldiers of the forbidden army to break through the gate of the imperial city without paying several times the price!
The soldiers of the forbidden army were completely confused, and they no longer cared about any military orders, and asked loudly: "My lord! What's this for?! ”
The generals saw that the situation was out of imagination, and it was impossible to solve the battle quickly, and even their subordinates were in danger of getting out of control, and they were also a little panicked for a while, and they were just going to kill a few more bastards who dared to question, and then desperately ordered the siege of the city! only to find that his team was in a commotion......
The generals hurried past the prestige, and saw a large number of troops coming from the street!
"Is it the reinforcements arranged by my grandfather?" At first, the generals had illusions.
But when they saw that the leading generals were actually Mo Wen, Xu Huaiqing and others, they were all stunned! It turned out to be Wang Xian's army!
"Stop! What are you going to do?! "The rear of the Xungui army has already met the front of Wang Xianjun, and there are no sparks of enemies to meet, and blood is flowing like a river, and both sides have maintained a high degree of restraint.
In fact, when Wang Xian's army appeared, these forbidden troops had already fallen into the danger of being attacked, and they had no chance of winning at all, and it was impossible to even get out.
"Our army is ordered to quell the chaos!" Wang Xianjun's soldiers had the emperor's will, so they naturally spoke roughly, and glared at the noble army: "What are you doing, why are you here, could it be that the rebels can't succeed?" ”
"You're the rebels! Your whole family is a rebel! Lao Tzu's grandfather followed Taizu to fight the country, and his father followed Taizong Jing to raise troops, do you think Lao Tzu will be a rebel? ! The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were very disgusted by the word rebels and jumped to their feet.
"Then why are you besieging the Imperial City?! And brought so many siege equipment! "Wang Xianjun's soldiers are ready to shoot and their guns are loaded, and they will start fighting if they don't agree with each other.
The arrogance of the soldiers of the forbidden army suddenly decreased a lot, and when the other party said this, even they felt as if they were rebels...... So they looked at the generals who had brought them here. (To be continued.) )
