Chapter 609: General, You Were Deceived by the Prime Minister
Xia Ye saw that he seemed to be about to succeed, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Of course, it is dangerous to go with me, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back once you go." Because there are 2,000 soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the palace, and outside the palace there are General Du and his 3,000 men and horses who have just fought with you. Come with me, the chances of death are quite high. I don't force everyone, and those who are afraid of death will be left behind. It's a big deal, I'm going to send the Cloud Palace forces to fight. ”
The Cloud Palace doesn't have much power, and there are a few masters of martial arts. But this does not mean that the master can beat the combined attack of 5,000 people inside and outside.
Therefore, she needs the cooperation of troops.
After she said this, she left without any nostalgia. Lin Yi followed behind her with a nervous expression.
Xia Ye's face was calm, and he silently counted one, two, three.
By the time the number seven was reached, the man was about to leave the barracks.
The first sound of obedience sounded behind him.
"Miss Xia, the last general is willing to obey Miss Xia's command and rescue General Nie."
Natsuba stopped.
Immediately after, a second and a third sounded behind......
Puff puff, the sound of a row of knees hitting the ground.
"The last general and others are willing to obey Miss Xia's command and rescue General Nie."
The military orders were sworn in unison, and the sound shook the sky. Xia Ye also became excited.
She raised her hands and replied to them loudly: "Rescue General Nie, you have General Nie to obey orders!" So this time, we must succeed and not fail! ”
With a neat and powerful slogan, Xia Ye counted the number of people, one no more and one no less,.
Very good, they are all trustworthy soldiers, no wonder Nie Ze will believe them and bring them back.
Xia Ye didn't have much effort, so she let these people obey her command. She was very pleased, turned around and returned to the barracks, took out the topographic map of the palace provided by Lin Yi and began to analyze.
There are a total of eight gates in the palace, two in each of the four directions, two in the southeast, two in the northwest, and one in the south gate, which is the main gate of the palace.
General Du's 3,000 soldiers and horses were all gathered here, and it was planned that if the emperor in the palace did not obey Prime Minister Li Cheng and rebelled or something, then General Du would rush into the palace from here after receiving Prime Minister Li's command and force the palace to usurp the throne.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Nie Ze is restrained, the emperor is isolated, and it seems that he does not dare to make any moves......
The master of the Cloud Palace, who was sent out to investigate the news, came back to report that General Du's 3,000 soldiers and horses were still besieging the palace, and the 3,000 troops were scattered, eight city gates, each of which was about 300, and General Du was guarding the main gate with 1,000 men and horses, because he did not receive an order, so the men and horses were still besieged at the gate of the palace without any action.
That's the good news. Everyone, including Prime Minister Li and General Du, thought that the army had not yet rushed back, and the thousand people in Nie Ze's hands did not know the mutations in the palace and would not obey the commands of others. In fact, the Han Water Kingdom is too small, and there are only a handful of generals who can command, and it is simply a situation where military generals can be used.
Therefore, although Prime Minister Li Cheng was not fully prepared and there were not many people available, he still dared to force the palace.
Of course, if there are no accidents, Prime Minister Li Cheng will definitely succeed.
No one thought that there was an unexpected person here, Xia Ye. It is being carefully laid out to turn things around.
An experienced soldier pointed to Yan Gongmen in the northwest direction and said, "We should go in from here." Our military camp is the closest to this gate of the imperial palace at this moment, and the emperor's bedroom is also the closest to this gate. Because Prime Minister Li thought that there were 2,000 soldiers in the palace, the guards in this place were also weak, probably only about 300 people. There are a thousand of us, and we can easily rush in.
Xia Ye nodded appreciatively, "That's a good point." However, I think that there are few people in your Han Water Country who can fight, so it is better for your own people to fight less of your own people. General Du, I think it can still be saved. This product must have been deceived by Prime Minister Li again...... I'll have to ask. ”
General Du chopped off his hand without blinking his eyes that day. Xia Ye never believed that this kind of person would turn back so easily, and he lacked heart and eyes again and again.
One thousand soldiers were divided into two teams, and eight hundred people quietly sneaked near Yan Gongmen, waiting for Xia Ye's order. The other 200 people followed Xia Ye to the south gate openly.
Stopping outside the city gate, Xia Ye took Lin Yi and the two of them to the city gate alone and walked in front of General Du.
General Du was very surprised to see Xia Ye, and walked over with a puzzled expression: "Girl, why are you here?" Huh? Lord Lin? Why are you here? ”
Xia Ye saw that General Du's attitude was very strange, and asked tentatively, "What are you doing here?" ”
General Du said: "I received an order from the emperor, saying that General Nie Ze is planning to rebel, let us stay here in case there is a change." ”
As he spoke, he slammed his spear on the ground heavily, quite heartbroken: "I thought General Nie was an upright general, but I didn't expect ......"
Xia Ye's heart jumped, and he immediately thought that General Du had been deceived by Prime Minister Li, so he said, "What letter, show me." ”
General Du didn't think about it, so he took out the envelope and handed it to Xia Ye. Xia Ye glanced at it and knew it.
This letter should have been written by Prime Minister Li Cheng, which roughly means that Nie Ze wanted to plot against him, so in order to prevent changes, he ordered General Du to take his three thousand guards to guard the city gate, and not to act without an order. There is also the emperor's jade seal at the bottom.
General Du believed it.
Xia Ye is relieved. He was just being used, not really mutinied. She guessed that the emperor's seal at the bottom was given by Prime Minister Li after the emperor was controlled by Prime Minister Li. She knew that a general who didn't blink an eye would turn back so easily and go to Prime Minister Li Cheng, which was not scientific at all.
In that case, it's much easier. You don't have to fight your own people, you only need to solve the 2,000 people of Prime Minister Li Cheng in the palace, and this farce of forcing the palace can basically end.
She thought for a while and said, "General Du, do you know where Nie Ze is now?" ”
The stupid and cute General Du said: "It should still be stationed outside the city." He has 10,000 people in his hands, and I only have 3,000 people, but no matter what, I will swear to protect the imperial city and protect the emperor's life. Even if it's Nie Ze, I'll fight it! ”
Yo he, I really changed my ways, and I want to be a loyal minister for a hundred years.
It's a pity that he was taken advantage of. Now he is convinced that Nie Ze wants to force the palace to usurp the throne. And he didn't know that Nie Ze was already under the control of Prime Minister Li Cheng in the palace, so he would continue to stay here, for fear that Nie Ze would suddenly lead the soldiers and horses to kill.
didn't know that Nie Ze was already in the palace.
She smiled and said, "Actually, you were deceived by Prime Minister Li Cheng." ”
General Du was stunned: "How did I get deceived?" What is the matter with Prime Minister Li Cheng? It was the emperor who asked me to be stationed here, not Prime Minister Li. ”
