There was light in the sky, but it was still dark between heaven and earth.

Han Xu pushed open the door and walked out, and a young man immediately stood by the wall.

"Do you want to go out?" He asked.

This young man is not his servant, Han Xu only brought four servants when he came out of the capital, a few days ago he took a group of people to the nearest city, met rebels on the way, in order to protect the refugees, all four servants were killed, he was originally going to be killed, this young man jumped out of the refugees, killed the nearest rebel, robbed the rebel's horse, and then pulled him up and ran together.

This young man was a skilled horseman, and he escaped from the rebels with one man.

He claimed to be Nakasato, a ranger, who was rejected by his family in the south, and wanted to come to the north to make some achievements, but he didn't expect to fall into a rebellion.

"In the past, I used to be conceited of martial arts, but now I know that this martial arts can't fight the rebels and can't save the people." Nakazato laughs at himself.

Han Xu stayed by his side, thanks to which he was able to pass through the layers of rebels all the way to here.

The situation here is still not too good, Nakazato guards the door day and night, and sleeps only standing.

Han Xu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say much to let him rest, but nodded.

The two walked out of the house one after the other, and two tall and thin shadows were pulled out of the dim street, just looking at the shadows Han Xu is about the same as Zhongli, although he is already forty years old, he is tall and slender and has a good demeanor, and he is a beautiful man.

When he went to the palace banquet in the capital, he learned that his wife died early and had not been renewed, many ladies peeped at him, and the extravagant women of the world also became bold.

The most dangerous thing is that a rich widow took advantage of his excessive drinking to frame him for not marrying in front of the emperor, Luo's disgust with his integrity added fuel to the fire, the emperor was bewitched by Luo's sisters and brothers to give marriage, fortunately Cui Zheng came forward to dissuade him, and forced the widow to tell the truth in a few words in front of the emperor, and the matter was stopped.

Afterwards, Cui Zheng concealed it for him, so that he could be an official in the court with peace of mind, so he was regarded as a member of Cui Zheng's party.

Han Xu didn't know why he thought of such a thing at this time, maybe he heard that the emperor was dead, the capital was empty, and the news came that the capital was in chaos day and night, countless people dragged their families and fled out, and the royal family, nobles, concubines, and palace maids and eunuchs were crowded together with ordinary people, and those who had cars walked without cars, and the road was full of shoes.....

The extravagant absurdity that had once disgusted him disappeared overnight.

As Han Xu walked, there were a lot of footsteps on the street, and there were figures coming out from both sides in the dimness, and the city suddenly shook like a big insect waking up, and the night faded in an instant, and the morning light illuminated the city.

The city is not dead and empty, and the streets are full of people walking around.

They were either carrying wood or stones, or carrying bottles and cans, and some were holding sticks and farm tools and standing on the street corners laughing and talking, this city is alive.

"Dr. Han." Seeing Han Xu, they respectfully saluted.

Xuanwudao was already chaotic before the Ankang Mountain Rebellion, after the Ankang Mountain Rebellion, the government ignored affairs, soldiers and horses ran around, some ran to the capital, some ran away, and some became thieves on the spot to kill the people.

But there were still restraints and expectations in this chaos, until the news of the emperor's death came, and the restraints and expectations came to nothing.

The government was even more deserted, the people fled everywhere, the soldiers and horses also began to loot, and more soldiers and horses erected the banner of Ankang Mountain to seize the city, and played the banner of clearing the way into Beijing for the governor of Ankang.

At that time, Yingchen encountered a group of soldiers and horses who were rioting and looting, shouting that they would enter Beijing to defend the Son of Heaven and let everyone sacrifice all the gold and silver treasures as baggage.

The official government couldn't shrink, and the few soldiers and horses in the state capital didn't know what to do, seeing that the soldiers and horses were about to enter the city to loot, Han Xu appeared, only with an entourage to stop these chaotic soldiers, and took out the official seal tied with a red ribbon.

"This official is the counselor of the imperial court, Gongwei the Son of Heaven does not have to enter Beijing, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, you are stable here, and the people here are also safe, and the people here are guarding the Son of Heaven."

"You can't even do this, how can you talk about defending the Son of Heaven?"

"If you want to step into Yingchen City today, you must first step over this official."

The tall and thin man held the official seal, and there was only one equally tall and thin unarmed retinue standing beside him, thin and majestic in the face of hundreds of soldiers and horses.

Hundreds of soldiers and horses hesitated, and finally turned their horses and retreated.

Han Xu was welcomed into Yingchen City, walked into the official mansion, urged the official government to resume circulation, appeased the people, commanded soldiers and horses to defend the city, collected refugees, and contacted the surrounding city governments.

Yingchencheng regained the momentum before the rebellion, and when the real Fan Yang soldiers stepped into Xuanwudao, Yingchencheng had the confidence to fight.

The confidence is there, but it is still insufficient, Han Xu stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the sky was bright, and there seemed to be smoke curling in the distance.

It wasn't cooking smoke, it was burning in the place that had been looted by Fan Yang's army.

"Although the people's hearts are cohesive, it is not easy to repel Fan Yang's soldiers due to the lack of soldiers and horses, and it is even more important to defend the city for a long time." He whispered.

Counsellors are not just passionate.

Nakazato said, "I am willing to assassinate the leader of the rebels for my lordship." ”

The ranger was full of enthusiasm, and Han Xu looked at him and smiled: "Although it is said that the thief captures the king first, it doesn't matter if a rebel leader is the biggest leader, the biggest leader is Ankang Mountain." ”

If Ankang Mountain is here, the rebels will always have a leader, and there will be no chaos.

After Han Xu said this, he saw that this ranger looked a little hesitant, although he was enthusiastic, he did not lose his mind, and knew that it would be a joke to assassinate Ankang Mountain.

Han Xu didn't expect this ranger to be able to solve his worries, if he could really solve his worries, he would have to reconsider this person's origin.

Han Xu comforted and encouraged the young man: "In today's troubled times, it is a credit to be able to save one person." ”

Footsteps came from under the city wall, accompanied by joyful shouts: "Doctor Han, Doctor Han." ”

Han Xu turned around and saw several officials in the palace hurrying over.

"Good news." One of them didn't wait to get close and said, "There are soldiers and horses coming." ”

.....

.....

"Feng Wei Jun?" Han Xu asked.

Back at the mansion, looking at the several scouts with injuries on their bodies, Han Xu asked for details.

"About five thousand people." The scout said, pointing on the map, "It's in the Valley of the Muddy Water." ”

"It's just that Feng Weijun is not necessarily reliable." The prefect of Yingzhou looked worried, "Since the Jiedu envoy is gone, the Fengwei army has also been chaotic, and many of them have already surrendered to the enemy." ”

There are still many people preparing to join the enemy, and everyone's mind is different from before.

"It's Yu Fei who leads this Fengwei army." The scout added.

A few officials whispered.

"Right or wrong!"

"Yu Fei didn't surrender to the enemy!"

"It's great if it's right or wrong."

Han Xu didn't quite understand, and asked who Yu Fei was, and the officials told him that Yu Fei was a general of Xuanwudao soldiers and horses, brave and good at fighting, and after the Xuanwudao soldiers were in chaos, he led the soldiers and horses to the capital to defend the Son of Heaven.

"Then why did he come back?" The prefect frowned and asked, he was timid and cautious, "Your Majesty is gone, so whether you want to defend Xuanwu Dao or surrender to the enemy, I don't think he has thought about it." ”

The scout said: "Hearing that His Majesty died, General Yu came back, to recapture Liangcheng, just a few days ago with the Fan Yang army occupying Liangcheng, General Yu shot He Gan blind in one eye, a big victory. ”

Liangcheng is where the Xuanwu Dao Mansion is located, and it has been occupied by Fan Yangjun, and the leader He Qian is very fierce, hearing that he was blinded by Yu Fei's shooting, the officials present couldn't help but lift their spirits.

"My lord, let's go and ask him for help." The government office Sima Dao.

The prefect has little confidence: "Yu Fei, this person has always been arrogant, and now he will not take me seriously." ”

The prefect was not confident, and other officials were not easy to recommend themselves and said that they could be taken seriously by Yu Fei, so they were at a loss for a while.

Han Xu listened to it almost, nodded and said, "This official should go and meet him." ”
