Chapter 133: Pull you to the funeral
Mu Beituo had never been on the battlefield and had almost zero combat experience, but he felt quite reasonable when he heard this, so he didn't doubt it.
"You mean, let this king leave a door for the Nanyang army to retreat in case the enemy army attacks?"
Song Yifeng nodded and said, "That's right, and this door has to be guarded by someone Ouyang Ye can trust, otherwise he can't rest assured." ”
"But the Nanyang Army knows that there is no way back, will they still do their best to fight? According to this king, only by leaving no way to retreat can they arouse their will to survive and achieve the best effect of defending against the enemy, right? ”
Mu Beituo said with a smile.
Song Yifeng shook his head, saying that he was speechless.
"Since the prince refuses to adopt Weichen's suggestion, Weichen has nothing to say, why don't you go and talk to Ouyang Ye in person, and Weichen will retire."
After saying that, he really left directly.
"Wait!" Mu Beituo stopped him and gritted his teeth secretly, "Just do as you say." ”
Song Yifeng turned around and arched his hand: "The prince is wise." ”
Mu Beituo then said: "Since this king wants to show his sincerity to Ouyang Ye, then be more sincere, in two days this king will arrange for some Nanyang troops to enter the city to rest, it is better to be in the city than to be exposed to the wind and sun outside, although the city can not accommodate less than 50,000 people, but half of the number is still no problem." ”
Song Yifeng rolled his eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Okay, it's better to let the ministers arrange this matter, so that Ouyang Ye can rest assured." ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Mu Beituo readily agreed, but when he lowered his eyes, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes.
More than 20,000 people entered the city, and it was not difficult for the Shangchun battalion to surround it with twice the number of people, whether it was killed or surrendered, it was up to him to decide, and the remaining 20,000 people could not pose a threat at all.
This trick invited Jun into the urn, and he Ouyang Ye couldn't think of it.
In the middle of the night, Song Yifeng came to the Nanyang military camp to see Ouyang Ye and told him about Mu Beituo's "goodwill" invitation, and Ouyang Ye expressed his willingness to accept the kindness of the third prince.
So in the evening two days later, Ouyang Ye led 20,000 people to the north gate after arranging troops at several other city gates.
Tonight there were few stars in the sky, but the moonlight was bright and bright, and the silver glow spread over the city, illuminating almost every corner.
Ouyang Ye rode a horse and shouted outside the city: "I am Ouyang Ye, the commander of the Nanyang Army, please come out and speak!" ”
After a while, a white figure popped out of the city tower, it was Song Yifeng, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"General Ouyang, I've been waiting here for a long time!"
Ouyang Ye arched his hand upwards and said loudly: "Please open the city gate!" ”
"Okay." Song Yifeng waved his hand at the soldiers below, and the city gate slowly opened with the sound of "quack".
A large number of men and horses had already been ambushed inside, just waiting for the Nanyang army outside to come in, trap them, and then shoot them with arrows when they were unprepared.
The general Li Chang stood on top of the tall building at the end of the long street, looking at the direction of the door, his heart was excited and excited, as long as the city gate was closed, the 20,000 people would be like dumplings, trapped inside, without the power to resist.
However, what happened next was something he never expected.
At the same time as the sound of shouts and horses' hooves came, countless rockets and fireballs shot out from outside the city, making a "whirring" sound, and the whole street burst into flames in a blink of an eye, and the buildings, flowers and trees on the side of the street were burned, and the soldiers who were originally ambushed in the houses on the street were quickly choked out, and the whole army fell into chaos.
General Li Chang, who was frightened by this scene, came back to his senses, and was about to shout, when someone not far away shouted first: "Brothers, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions, go into the palace with the Nanyang army, and catch the three princes of the anti-thieves, Li Chang, He Lanchi and others!" Come on! ”
"Rush! Catch the thief and make meritorious service! ”
Immediately, there were many voices responding, one after another, mixed with screams, fights, horses' hooves, etc., which made Li Chang, a great general who had seen all kinds of battles, frightened.
He saw the iron hooves of the Nanyang army passing through the long street, as if entering a no-man's land, because no one dared to stop it.
It turned out that Ouyang Ye had already seen through the strategy of the third prince, and he didn't know how to encourage some soldiers in the Shangchun battalion.
The three princes' invitation to enter the urn eventually evolved into a wolf into the room.
How so?
When the Nanyang army was killed outside the palace, Mu Beituo was complacent in the imperial study.
He imagined how wonderful it would be on the day he ascended the throne to the scene when the hundred officials surrendered at his feet, and the feeling of being high above and looking down on the world.
However, the illusion did not last long, as the silence of the palace was soon broken by the sound of earth-shattering battles in the distance.
"What's wrong?"
The Nanyang army entered from the north city gate, far away from the palace, and even if the two armies killed hard, it was impossible for the sound to come.
The palace people at the door didn't know the situation outside, and when they saw the fire in the north, a trace of ominous premonition passed through their hearts, and this scene was seen not long ago.
"It seems that a large army is coming in the direction of the palace."
"What? That's impossible! Mu Beituo pushed the little eunuch away and ran to the door to look north.
"No, it can't be, it's impossible!" He shook his head and repeated the words.
When the little eunuch saw him like this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, ready to escape, anyway, the third prince is almost finished, why will he not run at this time?
However, as soon as the front foot stepped out, the arm was grabbed.
"You, go and call Han Qing over!" Mu Beituo roared angrily, his voice was cold and trembling, which showed that he had fallen into a panic.
But the little eunuch was still shocked by his aftermath, and hurriedly ran to call someone.
Han Qing was the newly elected commander of the forbidden army after Mu Beituo withdrew Kui Li, and he hurried over with just a cup of tea.
"Third prince, the big thing is not good, the Nanyang army rushed into the imperial city and is killing the palace, the ministers will protect you and flee!"
"Run? Where to flee? Mu Beituo had already calmed down at this time, sitting upright in the seat that originally belonged to the emperor, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The whole world is not the king's land, when the emperor sits back in this position, how will he let me go?"
"The king is not going anywhere, but sits here and waits for them to come."
He said that even if he wanted to die, he would have to pull a few cushions, especially Mu Liancheng and his loving father.
The Nanyang army will need at least a pillar of incense to get to the gate of the palace, and it will take at least half an hour for the forbidden army to enter the palace, and he still has enough time.
"You go to the prince's mansion immediately and arrest the prince into the palace for me."
"Prince?"
Han Qing thought to himself, maybe the third prince still had his own plans, and it might be possible to turn the tables after catching the prince, so he went immediately.
Mu Beituo sat quietly on the golden seat, looking at the huge, empty palace, Jun's face was covered with yin owls, his thin lips squirmed, and he made a cold voice: "I can't get this place, and you don't want to have it." ”
When everyone arrived, he set fire to the place, and everyone was reduced to ashes!
The sound outside was getting closer and closer, Mu Beituo stood up indifferently and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
Mu Zun was sitting on the soft couch at this time, looking calm, and when he heard the footsteps coming, he didn't need to look at it, so he said, "You are here." ”
Mu Beituo stopped his pace, slightly stunned.
"You know I'm coming?"
"If it were me when I was young, I would definitely come, even if I was going to die tonight, I would have to bring a few people to the funeral, so as to live up to my patience and efforts over the years."
Mu Zun said, turned his head to look at Mu Beituo, and from his stunned eyes, he knew that he had guessed his mind.
"You are indeed the one with the most temperament like me of all the children."
"It's a pity that you don't like anything like you." Mu Beituo's tone was a little self-deprecating.
Mu Zun stood up with difficulty and sighed: "Yes, seeing you reminds me of when I was young, I hated that self, so I don't like to see you." ”
"So that's why you're doing me unfairly? Heh......" Mu Beituo took a step closer, slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, and pointed at Mu Zun, "It's a pity, when you get to Huangquan Road, you still have to face me!" ”
"Do you really want to kill the king and kill the father?" Mu Zun asked with a smile.
Mu Beituo directly put the sword against Mu Zun's neck and sneered: "So what? What, are you afraid of death? ”
Mu Zun smiled: "I am old, and it is not in vain to die, but you, killing your biological father and the monarch, not only will you be guilty of death, but you will also be ruined, and you will be scolded after death, do you really care?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Beituo's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Don't talk to me about this, do you think I'll let you go?" Dream! Die obediently! ”
As soon as the words ended, someone broke in.
The person who came was dressed in a blue robe, and his face was gloomy, it turned out to be Mu Liancheng, who was supposed to be escorted to the palace by Han Qing.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Liancheng swept towards Mu Zun and saw that he was not injured, so he looked at Mu Beituo.
"Why can't I be here? You first plotted to rebel, and then imprisoned your father, and now you still want to kill your father and kill the king, Mu Beituo, if you don't stop, you will only die without a place to be buried! ”
"Haha......" Mu Beituo laughed a few times, but instead held the hilt of the sword tighter, "There is no place to bury you?" So what's the matter? With my father's noble ninety-five honor to accompany the funeral, my death is worth it! Haha......"
Mu Liancheng didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he called "Come in."
Immediately, two guards escorted Concubine Lan into the dormitory.
When she saw Mu Beituo, Concubine Lan struggled violently, her mouth was blocked, and she could only make a whining sound, and tears gradually poured out.
"Mother!" At this moment, the only thing Mu Beituo cares about is this mother.
"Mu Liancheng, what are you doing? Let go of my mother! ”
Mu Liancheng said coldly: "When she can, you release the emperor first, if not, there will be one more person to bury you." ”
"You, you dare!" Mu Beituo shouted in a trembling voice, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
