Chapter 543: After Death
When Shen Qi and Tang Mi were fighting to the death with Jiang Bowen, there was also a fierce battle outside Jingzhao City.
Jin Wuwei led by Wei Yanqing and the Praetorian Guards led by Shen Zejing finally converged. The combination of green and red armor is very meaningful against the white snow.
Wei Yanqing's heart is extremely complicated, Shen Zejing, who was riding on horseback, should be the target of Jin Wuwei's suppression and killing, but now he appeared outside Jingzhao City, saved Jin Wuwei, saved the people of Jingzhao, and even saved the Dayong Dynasty.
What should you do if someone who is supposed to be an enemy becomes your savior?
Wei Yanqing didn't know what to do, what he could do now was to eliminate the invading Longyou Guard and remove the threat of Jingzhao.
The broadsword in his and Jin Wuwei's hands avoided the red armor. No matter what the imperial court did with the Praetorian Guards, but on the battlefield at this moment, if Wei Yanqing wanted to cut down the big knife against Shen Zejing and others, it would be absolutely impossible.
Shen Zejing's heart was not so complicated, all the measurements and entanglements were overcome before he took the Praetorian Guards into Beijing.
Back to the simplest point, the Shen family has the power to save Jingzhao, why not save it?
Thinking about it like this, Shen Zejing's heart became even more resolute, as for how the Dayong Imperial Court would react, whether it would turn the knife and cut the Praetorian Guards, he was not worried at all.
The final outcome of this Jingzhao siege battle is obvious. With the addition of the Shen family's Praetorian Guard, the defeat of the Long Right Guard was inevitable.
At the end of the day, the battle finally came to an end. Torches lit up inside and outside Jingzhao City, and both soldiers and civilians were cheering for victory and enjoying the ecstasy of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
Without the help of the Praetorian Guard, the people of Jingzhao might not even be able to save their lives. In particular, the soldiers standing on the Jingzhao city wall, seeing the appearance of the Praetorian Guard, felt like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and their gratitude to the Praetorian Guard could not be expressed in words.
In this battle, only 30,000 Longyou Guard soldiers were captured, and the rest of the Longyou Guard soldiers fought desperately and suffered heavy casualties. Wei Yanqing and Shen Zejing both understood the mentality of the soldiers of Longyouwei, but they still felt great regret.
These are actually Dayong's soldiers! It's just that he followed Jiang Bowen to rebel and became Dayong's enemy. The two armies faced each other, and only one side could survive.
What is lost, in the final analysis, is Dayong. Shen family, isn't this the case with the Praetorian Guard?
Thinking of the situation after Jin Wuwei's victory, Wei Yanqing and Jiang Bowen were silent.
Before the sky was completely dark, Shen Zesi led the Praetorian Guards to find Jiang Bowen in the dense forest.
Jiang Bowen was already dead, he fell in the snow, he was wounded in the shoulder and chest, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't blink to death. The golden knife was still in his hand, frozen tightly with him.
Shen Zesi's eyes darkened. Jiang Bowen died, the revenge of the 50,000 soldiers in Anbei was avenged, and Gu Dazu and Zheng Xian could rest in peace under the spring.
I don't know why, but Shen Zesi felt a burst of desolation. Jiang Bowen is dead, but those people will never come back.
Immediately, he ordered the soldiers to take Jiang Bowen's body with him and gallop away in the direction of Jingzhao.
"Thank you!" After the battle, Wei Yanqing hugged his fists and said to Shen Zejing.
There was still blood on his face and body, and he could see that he was extremely tired, but his eyes were shining. This is the demeanor of a battle-hardened general, obviously tired and about to lie down, but his back is still straight.
"No thanks." Shen Zejing smiled. His state is not much better, although Shen Zejing has a talent, but he is always a civil official.
The civil officials were weak, and the gallop in the past few days made Shen Zejing extremely tired.
The left house on Yongfu Street was brightly lit this night. When Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng left the military department to go to fight, Zuo Liangzhe returned to Zuo's house.
All the valuable things of the Zuo family have been packed up. Especially the gold and silver money tickets, which were packed into dozens of boxes by Zuo Yan, were ready to be shipped out of Jingzhao long before Long Youwei came.
Zuo Yan planned to escape, but he didn't have time to leave before Long Youwei arrived. Therefore, he is still on Yongfu Street at the moment, discussing the next situation with Zuo Liangzhe.
"Grandfather, Jingzhao's crisis has been solved, and my grandfather is still a first-class Chengen Gong, and he is still a minister of Tuogu. Our Zuo family doesn't have to be afraid! ”
Zuo Yan's voice was a little happy. What he said is indeed the truth, Jingzhao is afraid to solve it, and Dayong has preserved, that is, the power of the Zuo family has been preserved.
Zuo Liangzhe was silent for a while. The Jingzhao crisis is solved, Dayong is saved, so the Zuo family doesn't have to be afraid? Thinking of Shen Zejing's banner of "punishing the Zuo clan and Qingjun side", Zuo Liangzhe felt cold in his heart.
Zhu Zuo's, Qingjun's side.
This is the banner raised by Shen Zejing, especially after Shen Zejing took the Praetorian Guards to save Jingzhao, the Shen family and the Praetorian Guards were respected and grateful by everyone in Jingzhao.
In such a situation, the banner of the Shen family will have greater influence. If Shen Zejing insists on convicting the Zuo family, then what should the Zuo family do?
"Master, the only plan for now is to kill Shen Zejing when he is negligent in his precautions. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. The subordinates have a plan to convict the Shen family. ”
Zhao De suggested. His expression was also extremely ugly, he didn't expect that the Shen family would come to Jingzhao. Shen Zejing, who wiped out the 300,000 Xiyan army, actually came to Jingzhao!
Moreover, he also made a great contribution to saving the city!
Zhao De lowered his eyebrows and hid the hatred in his eyes. Xiyan is in turmoil now, it is because of the Shen family and Shen Zejing! He is here in Jingzhao, how can he still watch Shen Zejing's meritorious service?
"Shen Zejing came to Jingzhao and convicted him of forcing the palace. If the Shen family is not removed, the queen mother and the master will not have a good time. ”
Zhao De said again. Shen Zejing has already raised troops, and he also came to Jingzhao with the Praetorian Guards, what is it if he doesn't force the palace? As long as this major crime is convicted, even if the Shen family has great merit, it will become the target of Da Yong's punishment.
Forcing the palace?
Zuo Liangzhe listened to Zhao De's words, but he thought about it. Is Zhao De's suggestion feasible? Shen Zejing has made great contributions, if he is convicted, what will Jin Wuwei and the people think?
"Great merit? It's just the Shen family's move to force the palace, and the soldiers and people must be clear in their hearts. ”
Zhao De's words were sincere, and he once again comforted Zuo Liangzhe. Of course, he knew that; But he didn't care about this at all, he just wanted to bring down the Dayong Dynasty, the soldiers and the people, of course, the more chaotic the better.
Even if Zuo Liangzhe didn't have the ability to kill Shen Zejing, he and the Xiyan warriors who stayed in Dayong would also complete it. As long as Shen Zejing can be summoned into Jingzhao, he will have a way!
Not long after, Shen Zejing, who was stationed outside Jingzhao City, received the will of the Dayong Imperial Court, which was to thank the Shen family and the Praetorian Guards for their meritorious rescue.
The will said: "The Shen family has been loyal for generations, and it can be proved today." For the kindness of the Zhao court, the Shen family and the Praetorian Guard were commended...... Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to listen to the Xuan ......"
Shen Zejing looked at this bright yellow holy decree, there was no expression on his face, and no one could see what he was thinking.
In front of him was the silent Yu Zhengdao, as well as Shen Zesi and others.
A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Zesi's eyes. There is merit to be punished, this is already a rule of the imperial court, and he has nothing to surprise when he receives this holy decree.
"It's called rewarding, but it's actually harmful. We don't even enter Jingzhao City, let alone the Imperial Palace?! ”
Shen Zesi still couldn't help it, and said stupidly. After defeating the Longyouwei, the Praetorian Guards did not enter Jingzhao City, but were stationed at the foot of Bishan Mountain.
According to Shen Huashan and Yu Zhengdao's plan, when the situation in Jingzhao is certain, the Praetorian Guards can go to Hanoi Province. It's just that they have just rested and received such a will.
"Zuo Liangzhe has been in the position of a powerful minister for too long, and he is also old, so he can't figure it out. The Queen Mother is not a stupid person, she is just too smart......"
Yu Zhengdao smiled, not surprised by the arrival of this will. The Queen Mother is a woman in the deep palace, where can she control the political affairs of the former court? This will is really ridiculous.
The Shen family saved Jingzhao and saved Dayong, but instead of being merciful, Zuo Liangzhe and the Queen Mother plotted to take Shen Zejing's life. What's not ridiculous?
"Zuo Liangzhe is not such a confused person, it's just that there are people around him who are constantly cheating him. That strategist Zhao De really didn't expect it. ”
Shen Zejing said a fair word. If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like subordinate, these are the words that Shen Huashan often puts on his lips. But Shen Zejing felt that he was not afraid of teammates like pigs, but he was afraid of teammates who always dug pits to make people jump.
Zuo Liangzhe, he was really killed by that strategist Zhao De!
Zhao De was only known to Shen Zejing before he set off. For this reason, Shen Huashan also specially asked Shen Qi from Ruliu to come to Jingzhao, just to deal with Zhao De.
At that time, Shen Huashan, who was still in Hanoi Province, sent letters to Shen Ning and Ying Nantu, asking them to pay attention to the staff and strategists around the Jingzhao officials in order to find out the so-called disciple of Mr. Chaotang, Feng Wanshi.
Shen Ning had already arranged for a stream of people, that is, the officials and staff who were specifically staring at Jingzhao. Zhao De is so favored in front of Zuo Liangzhe, the servant of the Zuo family, of course there will be news leaked out.
A Zhao De who appeared out of thin air gave advice to Zuo Liangzhe, and he had to be valued by Zuo Liangzhe so much. This person is the person who is looking for Ruliu, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After touching the melons along the vine, he also found that there seemed to be a secret force behind Zhao De. The reason why Shen Ning didn't deal with Zhao De for a long time was to find out the force behind him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao De turned out to be Xiyan in Dayong! The force behind him is the spies that Xiyan has arranged in Dayong for so many years.
It took such a long time for Ruliu to finally figure out the location of those spies, and he was secretly surprised by the depth and breadth of Xiyan's layout.
Regarding Feng Wanshi's inheritance of Mr. Chaotang, Yu Zhengdao didn't say much, but said lightly: "Those who deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors are not a pity to die." ”
"The strategist beside Zuo Liangzhe, if Ruliu's speculation is not wrong, it is Feng Wanshi in Hanoi Province." These are Shen Huashan's original words.
Before Shen Zejing set off, Shen Huashan told him that Zhao De was Feng Wanshi.
After knowing Feng Wanshi's past, Shen Zejing would have something to say. Feng Wanshi came to pit Zuo Liangzhe, but the pity is that Zuo Liangzhe still doesn't know it.
"That Feng Wanshi has also been jumping for too long."
