Chapter 334: The New Emperor's Twilight Road
Liu Ziming, accompanied by his three major disciples, appeared at the head of the city.
At this time, the deserters under the city began to stir up.
"Why don't you open the door? Open the door! ”
Someone recognized Liu Ziming and scolded him when he stopped the soldiers guarding the city from opening the door for them.
"Liu Ziming, you traitor. Lao Tzu is fighting hard with the officers and soldiers in Yanzhou, but you are fucking hiding here to enjoy Qingfu. At this time, the old men are back, and they want to go home, and you old guy won't let people open the door for us.
Do you have a fucking humanity? ”
When the deserters outside the city heard that Liu Ziming did not let the people in the city open the door, they all shouted and cursed. After a while, even his eighteenth generation ancestors were turned out and scolded. But Liu Ziming was obviously iron-hearted, he didn't pay attention to the scolding of these people outside the city, and just didn't open the door.
These people scolded for a while, and when they were tired, their voices gradually became quieter.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Fuck, if you don't open the door to the old boys, we'll beat the fuck." Go into the city and kill Liu Ziming's old boy and his family! ”
The rebels listened to this proposal and agreed, and some of them went to prepare for the siege of the city.
At this time, some people even shouted, "I heard that the government has posted an announcement." As long as Liu Ziming and Xu Hongru are caught, none of our accomplices will be asked.
At present, the Smelling Fragrance Sect is already bound to be defeated. Instead of following them and being killed by the officers and soldiers, let's tie up Liu Ziming and Xu Hongru and give them to the officers and soldiers. Then we'll be fine. ”
When the crowd outside the city heard this, they all became in an uproar, and the scene, which was already very chaotic, was extremely chaotic for a while.
At this moment, a cavalry team of more than 300 people drove towards this side. Unlike Yu Ren, the horses of these 300 people are typical southern horses, not tall, but very enduring.
"What's going on? What are you all yelling about here? A big man took the lead and urged the horse to come to the crowd and reprimanded.
After listening to the big man's reprimand, everyone fell silent. But a few of them didn't stop, but shouted at everyone, "The person I recognize is Xiao Keji, Xu Hongru's eldest disciple." Since he was here, Xu Hongru must be nearby.
Let's kill this guy first, and then go and arrest Xu Hongru and hand it over to the officers and soldiers, then our sins can be forgiven! ”
Before the man had finished speaking, a crowd of people gathered around him. Xiao Keji was shocked, "You, what do you want to do!" They all want to rebel? ”
One of them shouted, "We have already rebelled, and it won't be a big deal if we rebel again!" ”
Xiao Keji realized that he had lost his words, and seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to turn his horse's head and flee. But there were deserters everywhere, and the horses couldn't run away, and the gang was so close. Before Xiao Keji could turn around, the group had already surrounded him.
This time, Xiao Keji really panicked. His horse was so crowded that he couldn't move, and some people pulled him down from his horse. Xiao Keji didn't think about it, so he pulled out his waist knife and slashed at the head of the person who was pulling him.
The man was stabbed and fell to the ground. But this time, it angered the others even more.
"This guy doesn't treat us as human beings at all, and the words he said at the beginning that he is a brother or a family are all false. Since he doesn't treat us as human beings, let's be polite to him! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people picked up swords and various weapons and beckoned to Xiao Keji's body. Although Xiao Keji's martial arts are not weak, he can't withstand the group attack of these people, and he was picked off the horse with a shot in two hits.
Seeing this, the others rushed up, and Xiao Keji didn't even have time to turn over, so he was hacked to death on the ground with a knife.
Probably because this happened too suddenly, the three hundred cavalry behind Xiao Keji did not reflect until Xiao Keji was hacked to death.
"Let's go, let's go!" One of them, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, ordered to everyone.
"It's Xu Hongru!" I don't know who shouted around.
When the yellow-robed man heard the shout, his expression changed greatly.
At this time, the crowd behind him heard that Xu Hongru was here, and they all rushed over here.
Seeing that there was no way back, the yellow-robed man had no choice but to order, "Rush forward." With that, he drew his sword.
The three hundred horsemen listened to the order and together swung their swords at the crowd that stood in their way. The crowd avoided and quickly made a way. Although these people shouted fiercely, but seeing that Xu Hongru's cavalry was really moving, they all knew that they were not opponents, so they all chose to retreat.
The yellow-robed man rushed to the city with three hundred cavalry, and when he saw that the city gate was not opened, he shouted to the city, "Liu Ziming, open the city gate quickly." I'm Xu Hongru. ”
Liu Ziming at the head of the city saw that it was really Xu Hongru, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he ordered someone to quickly open the city gate.
But when the gate was opened, it could no longer be closed. The rebels who followed Xu Hongru and them also poured into the city together. The situation was in turmoil for a while.
Yu Ren took his thirty men, and they also poured into the city with everyone. Now that he has a goal, he will look around again.
His goal is very clear, that is Xu Hongru.
As long as Xu Hongru is killed, this Shandong civil uprising can be regarded as completely pacified. This can also be said to be the last task of his work at this stage.
Xu Hongru entered the city, but he did not go to the city to find Liu Ziming, but rushed to his mansion with his three hundred personal soldiers.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, none of the three hundred guards left.
Xu Hongru came to his mansion, opened the gate, and several women ran out of the courtyard. As soon as they saw Xu Hongru, these women seemed to see the backbone.
"Your Majesty, you're finally back." A young woman greeted Xu Hongru and said.
"I heard that the officers and soldiers have already called. They've all escaped. Let's run! I've already packed my stuff. A pretty young woman said.
Xu Hongru didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard the woman's words at all. He walked towards a large hall in the middle of the courtyard. Behind him was one of his personal guards.
"Your Majesty, let's go! Teng County can't hold it. The officers and soldiers had already chased them outside the city. Seeing that it is about to attack, it will be too late if you don't leave. The guard also advised.
Xu Hongru sat down on a dragon chair in the middle of the main hall. It is said to be a dragon chair, but in fact, it is just a gold-plated iron chair with dragon patterns cast on it by craftsmen who temporarily found craftsmen. Due to the rush of time, this dragon chair is also very poorly made, and there is no way to compare it with the dragon chair in the Forbidden City.
However, Xu Hongru seems to be very attached to this poorly made chair. His hand caressed lightly on the dragon chair, as if he could never get enough of it.
"Report to the sect master, the king altar master. The traitors have come here with a large number of people. Let's hurry up! Otherwise, they will block the gate and you will not be able to leave! Outside the door, a guard hurried in to report.
"How many are there?" The guard asked urgently.
"About two or three thousand."
"What about Liu Ziming? Isn't he in the city? Why don't people care? The altar lord asked.
"Lord Wangtan, then Elder Liu is not of the same mind as us. He can't wait for our sect leader to die earlier, he can be the sect leader, where will he really help us.
In my opinion, these people are probably the ones he instigated. ”
When the guard king altar master heard this, he turned his head to Xu Hongru, "What should I do?" Master. ”
Xu Hongru didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two at all, he was still infatuated and stroked his dragon chair, his eyes revealing infinite nostalgia.
"Sect Master, let's avoid it first! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! At present, the officers and soldiers outside the city are pressing, and Liu Ziming is in control of the overall situation in the city. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. ”
Xu Hongru slowly raised his head at this time.
"That's it! Go ahead! I'm tired and don't want to go anymore! ”
"Sect Master, you must not be discouraged! Although we lost today. However, we still have 300 people here, and these 300 brothers are all absolutely loyal to you, the sect master. As long as we escape from the current crisis, sooner or later, we will be able to make a comeback. The Lord of the Altar advised.
Xu Hongru set off and sighed lightly!
"The general trend is also gone! At the beginning, we had millions of people and sent 200,000 troops to attack Yanzhou, but we couldn't capture a small Yanzhou city. Now there are only 300 people left, what can they do!
Jiayin, let's go! Take your brothers and run away. Stop thinking about rebellion. I didn't know until now how much we were wrong. Although the imperial court suffered repeated defeats in Liaodong, the Guannai was still unbreakable. At the beginning, we all thought the problem was too simple! ”
Speaking of this, Xu Hongru let out a long sigh.
