Chapter 246: A Last Battle
Tuoba Ye took these guards and came to the Xihuang Camp, which is one of the four guard battalions in the imperial capital, where 10,000 elite soldiers gathered.
"Where's An Qihu?" Tuoba Ye closed to the front of the Xihuang camp and shouted loudly.
An Qihu is the commander of the Xihuang Battalion.
"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Your Majesty, Commander An is not here now, only Deputy Commander Hulachi is here. When a soldier saw the emperor suddenly arrive, he immediately replied with trembling.
"Hmph, call Hulachi to come to me, order all the guards, gather at once, and follow me to quell the rebellion." Tuoba Ye said loudly.
When this janissary heard this, he was confused, and he didn't understand what was going on at all, why did the emperor personally put on the battle, and said that he would put down the rebellion, did there be a rebellion in the imperial capital?
But as an elite Praetorian guard, although he was shocked in his heart, he immediately went down to deliver the order.
At this time, Tuoba Yeqi directly led people to rush into the camp of Xihuangying.
When all the guards saw the emperor's yellow banner, they immediately knelt down one by one to greet them, and Tuoba Ye shouted loudly while galloping on his horse: "All the guards obey the order, immediately put on their horses, and follow me to quell the rebellion, and all the guards obey the order, immediately put on the battle, and follow me to quell the rebellion." ”
Hearing the emperor's voice and seeing the emperor's banner again, although these guards were extremely shocked, but after a long time of training, they still made them react quickly, and they all immediately looked for their war horses, put them on their horses, and followed behind Tuoba Yeqi.
Soon, Tuoba Ye ran to the front of the main tent, which was where the commander was located.
"Hulachi, come out for me." Tuoba Ye shouted loudly.
After a while, from the tent, a tall man came out of the tent, but this man did not have a trace of domineering as a commander in the army at this time, but was a little silent and trembling.
"Hulachi, meet Your Majesty." Because Hulachi was wearing armor, he did not bow down, but only bent down and saluted.
"Haha, do you still know my majesty? Just now I ordered all the commanders of more than 100 people to come to the audience, why don't you come? Tuoba Ye's eyes widened, staring at Hulachi.
"This ...... The subordinates did not receive orders. Hulachi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"Didn't get an order? Are all the heralds of the emperor dead? You janissaries, have you ever seen the herald run into the camp? Tuoba Ye asked the guards next to him loudly.
"See." The janissary next to him replied truthfully.
At this time, the emperor was in front of them, and these guards naturally did not dare to deceive in the slightest, they didn't know what the truth was, and the long-term loyalty to the monarch made them obey Tuoba Yeqi's orders at this time.
"Do you hear that? Hulachi? What else do you have to say? Tuoba Ye shouted loudly.
Hulachi was covered with a great sweat, although he was usually a commander that everyone looked up to, a hero among all the guards, but at this time, he had no trace of his usual majesty.
"Wechen is guilty, I hope Your Majesty can give Wechen a chance to atone for his sins." Hulachi fell to his knees and begged.
Tuoba Ye's face only sneered, and after a long while, he said lightly: "All the commanders of more than 1,000 people are all out of the ranks." ”
When the thousand-man commanders of these guards heard this, some of them quickly stood up, while others walked out with a cower.
Tuoba Ye glanced at them and said coldly: "The few who came out later, kill them all." ”
The shadow guard behind Tuoba Ye was activated in an instant, and suddenly dispatched, and these thousand commanders had no chance to react at all, so they were directly killed.
"You may be very strange, why do I want to kill today, I can tell you, now that Prince Protector Tuoba has rebelled, he has bought off the vast majority of the Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital, from now on, all your Praetorian Guards are under my personal command, follow me to quell the rebellion, if your commander has any abnormality, you must kill it immediately, without the slightest delay, killing is not guilty, not killing is a big crime, understand?" Tuoba Ye looked at the Praetorian Guards who had gathered and shouted loudly.
At this time, the night was silent, the sky was starry, and in the huge tent, there was only the sound of torches stabbing and burning, and the sound of Tuoba Ye was in this cool late autumn, with an inexplicable tragedy.
"Swear allegiance to Your Majesty, swear allegiance to Your Majesty." All the Praetorian Guards shouted loudly at this time, and there was an aura in their eyes that they looked at death as if they were at home.
Tuoba Ye looked at this scene, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, which showed that he had indeed not been a faint king all these years, and now these guards were still willing to serve him to the death.
"What if...... In case I unfortunately die, then you should not continue to fight, find a way to get out, and tell the world about Tuoba Jue's murder, and you must go to find the ninth prince Tuoba Hong, who will be the emperor of Yunmeng in the future, and you must be loyal to him and rebuild my Yunmeng Dynasty. "Tuoba Ye knows that even if he integrates these armies now, but Tuoba has been planning for so long, it is difficult for him to be his opponent.
Therefore, at the last moment, all he has to do is to keep more chips for his son.
He wants all the people of Yunmeng to know that the Yunmeng Dynasty has not changed its master, and his son is still the emperor, and this dynasty is still their family.
"Do you hear that?" Seeing that none of the guards answered, Tuoba Ye asked again loudly.
"Hear." There was a steadfastness in the eyes of all the Praetorian Guards, they had been selected since childhood, they were the best warriors in Yunmeng, and they were instilled with the belief that they were loyal to the emperor from an early age.
Now, the emperor is facing to be killed, and they can't do anything about it, and there is a sadness in their hearts.
As a janissaries, but can't guarantee the safety of his emperor, what kind of janissaries are they? For so many years, they have been envied by all Yunmeng people, and when everyone sees them, they all cast admiring eyes.
That's because, they are the most loyal and elite Praetorian Guard battalion.
But now, the commanders of the Praetorian Guard Battalion have all rebelled, and the emperor is also facing great difficulties, what right do they, the Praetorian Guards, have to survive?
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, at this time, it is time for the emperor to use them, they usually hold such a high salary, and their families get so much glory, and now, it is time to repay them.
"Come with me." Tuoba Ye took the people of the West Yellow Camp to the North Yellow Camp quickly, and if he was lucky, he could receive another 10,000 horses.
However, this time, he obviously didn't have such good luck, and for such a long time, if Tuoba Jue hadn't made arrangements, he wouldn't have to rebel.
The reason why Tuoba Yeqi did not choose to flee out of the city at first, but chose to go to Xihuangying to gather men and horses and fight to the death with Tuoba Jue was because he knew that Tuoba Jue must have controlled the four city gates first, and he could not get out.
Moreover, even if he could go out, how far could he be escorted by so many thousands of palace guards? Yunmeng grassland, there is no dangerous terrain, it won't be long before he is caught up.
When the time comes, he will be a lost dog who has been hunted down, and no one will know if he is killed in the wild.
Therefore, instead of running away and being caught up again, it is better to fight to the death, and make the matter bigger, make the biggest trouble, and let everyone know that Tuoba Jue will kill his king. In this way, in the future, all the people in the imperial capital will know that it was Tuoba Jue who plotted rebellion and killed the king, and Tuoba Yeqi had passed the throne to Tuoba Hong.
Later, Tuoba Hong was the emperor of Yunmeng.
In this case, the people's hearts are still on Tuoba Hong's side. They will all decide that the emperor of Yunmeng is Tuoba Hong, not Tuoba Jue.
Although he didn't fully know about Tuoba's conspiracy, Tuoba Ye could also guess that Tuoba must have prepared some secret means to let himself die quietly, and then secretly kill a few princes, or control a few princes, and give way, so that Tuoba can rightfully inherit the throne.
The vast majority of ministers have been controlled by him, and it is not very difficult for him to ascend the throne peacefully.
In this way, no one will know that it was he who killed the king and usurped the throne, and a new dynasty began quietly, but it was still justified.
Tuoba Ye naturally can't let him succeed, even if he dies, he has to let everyone know that Tuoba Jue killed his king.
"Haha, Tuoba, do you still have the face to see me?" Seeing Tuoba Jue from afar, Tuoba Ye shouted loudly, there was no trace of fear on his face, only a calm and fierce wolf like a wild wolf.
