Wu Yingying felt a chill, hurriedly said goodbye and walked out, but met Chase who came on horseback. Chase flipped over the saddle and dismounted, and said loudly: "My lord, in the name of the riot in the capital, the Divine Guard Army is mobilizing men and horses to march into the city. ”

Wu Yingying's heart is not good, and it has become quite obvious that the Divine Guard Army has created a riot and tried to control the entire city defense on this ground, and even threatened Cai Yu with military advice. Immediately said loudly to Chase: "You quickly go to Stone Mountain to inform Lord Hu Ze of the Tiande Army, and say that the commander of the Divine Guard Army has made Huangfu Jixun plot against him, and let him quickly enter the palace city." He also said to Chase: "Immediately notify all the brothers and the soldiers on the street to gather at Hongqiao in front of the Nangong Gate, and we will stop the Divine Guard from forcing the palace." Chase immediately sent his own soldiers to all directions, and Wu Yingying rushed to Hongqiao first, and immediately entered the palace to explain the current situation to Cai Yu. Cai Yu, who had been unable to rest since returning to the palace, was shocked at the moment when he was waiting for the report of the situation outside, so according to Wu Yingying's plan, he sent eunuchs to announce that the Divine Guard Army would withdraw from the city, and at the same time made up a line, ordering the Tiande army to quickly enter the imperial city, and at the same time sent a message to Wu Qiao, Xu Xian and other important ministers, as well as all the royal family to enter the palace to discuss.

Wu Yingying waited for Cai Yu's holy decrees to be issued before retreating to Hongqiao. One hundred soldiers and more than 300 officials were already gathered here to wait, and Wu Yingying had everyone line up on the Hongqiao, blocking the passage to the main gate of the imperial city. At the same time, the Yulin army on the imperial city also stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and Wu Yingying couldn't help frowning, this Huangfu Jixun dared to gallop on the royal road, obviously already openly provoking Cai Yu's authority. Before the hundreds of cavalry came to Hongqiao, they were blocked by the infantry led by Wu Yingying, and they stopped one after another, and the generals behind stepped forward, it was Huangfu Jixun, his face was gloomy, and when he saw Wu Yingying, he rebuked loudly: "Wu Fenghuo, why is there such a big mess in Jinling City, I heard that someone took advantage of the chaos to kidnap His Majesty, and specially brought troops to rescue him, you get out of the way, otherwise I will kill you as a rebellious minister and thief." After speaking, the horse chewed and strangled it fiercely, the horse neighed in pain, the person stood up, and Huangfu Jixun pressed the spear in his hand, staring at Wu Yingying condescendingly, domineering.

Wu Yingying stretched out his hand and took out a yellow brocade silk from his arms and said: "General Huangfu, the holy purpose is this, all the guards and horses can only shield the palace gate in front of the Hongqiao, dare to trespass the palace gate, step across the Hongqiao, in order to plot rebellion, and immediately beheaded!"

Huangfu Jixun laughed, pointed his spear at Wu Yingying and said: "How do I know if the holy decree in your hand is true or false, even if it is true, how do I know if Your Majesty is coerced by you? He shouted at the soldiers behind Wu Yingying: "Irrelevant people quickly retreat, otherwise you will be broken immediately." ”

Wu Yingying saw that those temporarily arrested soldiers had already retreated, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he could only force his composure and said loudly: "You just need to take this holy decree and see if it is true or false. Huangfu Jixun, after you are a meritorious hero, you have received the grace of the country, and you are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, why do you turn against each other, do things for the Song people, and force the emperor to surrender to Jiangbei!" Although he didn't know why Huangfu Jixun launched this forced palace, he could only pour the dirty water of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country on him as much as possible, and even took Huangfu Jixun to propose peace with Jiangbei many times, half-truths and half-falsehoods, on the one hand, it aroused the anger of the Jiangnan soldiers on the same side, and on the other hand, it was also to disturb the military morale of the Divine Guard.

Huangfu Jixun was so angry that his face turned purple, and he shouted: "You Jiangbei Han is full of nonsense!" He looked back and saw that there were already thousands of foot soldiers who arrived by the Divine Guard, and immediately pointed his gun at Hongqiao and said: "Rush to me, and cut all these people who stand in the way into pulp."

Seeing that these soldiers were driven by Huangfu Jixun and were about to break into Hongqiao, Wu Yingying held up the holy decree and said: "Brother Shenweijun, listen, the Holy Order I will wait until I stay in Hongqiao tonight, and only wait for His Majesty to come to reward him in person tomorrow morning." At this time, those who rushed into the palace gate were regarded as complicit!" With his shouting, several crossbow arrows were shot from the head of the imperial city, which happened to fall in front of the Divine Guard soldiers, the tips of the arrows were several inches into the ground, and the tail branch of the thick arms remained on the ground and kept shaking, making a buzzing sound, which shocked the pace of the Divine Guard soldiers in front of them for a while.

Just as Huangfu continued to urge his cronies to lead the team to attack, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps from the west, and an army under the banner of the Tiande Army ran from the direction of Feihongqiao, and the crossbowmen directly climbed the roofs of the houses of Shichengfang and Zhenshanfang on the left and right sides of the imperial road, and aimed their bows and arrows at the two Tang armies that were confronting.

Just in doubt, the brigade of foot soldiers continued to approach, and lined up in the west of Hongqiao, Hu Ze, the capital of the Tiande army, and Du Zhen, the capital of the Tiande army, came side by side, Hu Ze rode his horse to Wu Yingying's side, and said in a low voice: "I don't dare to move without seeing the emperor's order, my brother is late, bear with me." Wu Yingying nodded and expressed understanding, Hu Ze turned his horse's head again, and shouted to Huangfu Jixun: "Lord Huangfu, the Tiande Army was ordered by the emperor to shield the palace gate, and tomorrow morning, His Majesty will personally reward the army of King Qin tonight. ”

There are 10,000 people in the Tiande army, although the number is less than that of the Divine Guard, but the station is close to the palace, and it has the imperial order in hand, and the whole army is pulled over in the name, and although there are 100,000 people in the Divine Guard, only more than 20,000 people dare to bring the palace with Huangfu Jixun, and the rest are stationed in the military camps. Just when he hesitated, he suddenly knocked out a horse from the rear, the knight was not fully clothed, and when he saw Huangfu Jixun, he shouted: "Commander, the camp of the Chinese army at the south gate was attacked by someone, and it was under the banner of Cao Bin of the Song army." ”

Huangfu Jixun was shocked and said angrily: "It is absolutely impossible, Cao Bin is still holding on to Yu Yan in Chizhou, how can he lead the army to attack our army, and besides, the Yangtze River is dangerous, how can the army easily cross it?"

The knight cried, "Commander, I have seen with my own eyes that the Song army has entered the camp overwhelmingly, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties!"

His words were very loud, Wu Yingying and Hu Ze could hear them clearly, and Hu Ze pointed at Huangfu Jixun with a horse whip and said angrily: "Huangfu Jixun, it is a shame that you, as the commander of the Divine Guard, actually colluded with the Song people and buried the army. The generals under Huangfu Jixun were also surprised, although they were Huangfu Jixun's henchmen, they were more or less repulsive to the Song army, and the eyes that looked at the commander had a lot more different meanings.

Huangfu Jixun's forced palace this time is indeed related to the conspiracy to negotiate peace, but it is impossible to let the Song army attack the camp of his army, and now he is angry at Hu Ze's reprimand, his mind is blank, he doesn't know what to do, he just muttered to himself: "How can this be? Could it be that he is lying to me?"

Seeing him like this, Wu Yingying shouted loudly: "Huangfu Jixun, if you did not collude with Jiangbei and betray the country to seek glory, you should lead the army back to the camp now, and rectify the army to fight against the Song army." ”

This sentence woke Huangfu Jixun from his trance, he stared at Wu Yingying fiercely, shouted to the left and right generals, "return to the camp", turned the horse's head and galloped towards the south gate, and the Shenwei sergeants who did not want to be in fire with their comrades also quickly lined up and retreated, and soon disappeared into the dark night along the royal street.

Seeing Huangfu Jixun retreating, Wu Yingying said to Hu Ze: "Thank you Brother Hu for your help." I am worried that the Song army will take advantage of the chaos to steal the city tonight, so I ask the Tiande army to leave one to continue to defend the imperial city, and Brother Hu personally leads the rest of his subordinates to defend the city wall, and must not open the city gate until dawn. I led the beacon fire to make the yamen and these officials martial law the whole city to prevent the Song people from making trouble. ”

Hu Zexin knew that the stakes were high, so he replied: "That's it, brother, take care." After speaking, he turned around and discussed with Du Zhen, the capital of the Tiande Army, and he took 2,000 sergeants to continue to garrison Hongqiao.
