Chapter 309: Quelling the Chaos
"The thief leader King Yan is dead, so don't you quickly disarm and surrender!"
On the square in front of the palace, a tall and heroic young general shouted loudly, it was Gu Tingye, who was rushed to the rescue by Pegasus, and the arrow that hit King Yan was missed, and it was from Gu Tingye's hand.
Gu Tingye held the horn bow he had received from Wei Chen in his hand, and while speaking, he hung his arm with the bow.
Open the bow, take the arrow, the arrow misses the string, and so on, like flowing water, in one go.
The brass wrench on the thumb flashed back and forth, and the silk linen bowstring with the thickness of the little finger was illusioned as a phantom, the strings sounded, and the screaming sound of the long arrow breaking through the air was endless, playing a burst of killing sounds.
Wei Chen, who was not far away, looked at this scene and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in amazement.
He never imagined that a man and a bow could shoot a rain of arrows, and where the arrows fell, they would either die or be wounded, and mourn everywhere.
Wei Chen originally thought that his archery skills were superb enough, and he would not be inferior to the generals in the army, but today he witnessed Gu Tingye showing his skills, and only then did he understand what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.
Just as Wei Chen was amazed by Gu Tingye's wonderful archery skills, a rebel general beside him who was shot in the abdomen by an arrow actually endured the severe pain in his abdomen and got up, pulled out his waist knife with a distorted face, roared angrily, and slashed at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen hurriedly turned sideways, somewhat embarrassed to avoid the whistling blade, one hand held the right wrist of the rebel general's knife, and the other hand grasped the arrow shaft stuck in his belly, and shook it with all his might.
The hideous and terrifying faces of the rebel generals and Wei Chen were separated by less than half a foot, and each other's breathing could be heard.
Watching the rebel general Tong Kong enlarge, his eyes gradually drifted, and finally he collapsed to the ground softly, and Wei Chen's eyebrows that were twisted like knives finally relaxed.
Patting his face vigorously to keep him awake, Wei Chen picked up the rebel general's waist knife from the ground, poked him again, and after confirming that he was dead, he let out a heavy breath of turbidity.
This is the first time Wei Chen has fought with people in close quarters like this, and this feeling is much stronger than shooting arrows and killing people from dozens of steps.
Looking down at the rebel general wearing a wind-winged battle helmet and a beast pattern waist guard, Wei Chen immediately had a guess in his heart.
This man will certainly not be low in the rebels.
Wei Chen immediately raised his hand and beheaded him with a knife, lifted his head, and shouted to the rebels in the square: "If you dare to resist stubbornly, this thief is an example!" ”
Facts have proved that Wei Chen's guess was correct, the rebel general he had just killed happened to be Li Yan, the commander of the Xiaomeng army, and the 2,000 Xiaomeng army under his command was the backbone of the rebel army.
Seeing King Yan and Li Yan dying one after another, the rebels, who had no intention of fighting again, finally collapsed completely, threw down their weapons one after another, and gave up resistance.
Under the command of the commander of the Divine Guard, the commander of the Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Divine Guard Army rushed forward and took down all the more than 1,000 rebels who were still alive.
At this point, the thief leader Yan Wang was killed by Gu Tingye with an arrow, Li Yan, the commander of the Xiaomeng army, was also beheaded by Wei Chen, the Xiaoxiong army commanded Chang Yuan to surrender, and Rong Xian, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, was captured alive.
Not long after the vanguard entered the city, tens of thousands of troops in the western suburbs led by Zhao Zongquan and the British Gong Zhang Lie finally arrived.
With the assistance of Yuan Wenshao, the soldiers and horses of the five cities who were under house arrest by Wu Mu commanded Dou Laoxi and other generals to escape.
Relying on Dou Laoxi's prestige, the soldiers and horses of the five cities were all right, and the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities was Wu Mu ambushed, and the gates of Bianjing City were re-controlled by the imperial court.
After retaking the city gates, the army began to purge the remnants of the rebels in the city, and even the small thieves who fished in troubled waters and robbed and killed people in the city were also cleaned up.
In just one night, a rebellion comparable to the Xuanwumen Revolution in the planning of King Yan and his henchmen ended hastily.
Funing Palace, the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven, after a great turmoil, is still brightly lit here.
After Zhao Zongquan and the British Duke settled the remnants of the rebels in the city, they all hurried to the dormitory and knelt in front of Zhao Zhen to plead guilty: "The ministers are too late to save the car, so Your Majesty is frightened." ”
"It's all providence! If it weren't for Wei Aiqing's death to pass on the edict and transfer troops to the king's rescue, I would have been afraid that I would have died for a long time! ”
Zhao Zhen experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and all kinds of feelings were condensed in his heart, and he had a faint sense of seeing through the world.
Wei Chen hurriedly thanked him: "Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of a subordinate." ”
"Aiqing doesn't have to be humble, I have a scale in my heart, and Aiqing should be the first credit for this time."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Zongquan: "You will definitely treat Wei Qing's family well in the future, and repay me for this life-saving grace." ”
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Wei Chen.
With Zhao Zhen's words, Wei Chen's future future must be limitless!
"Erchen remembered."
Zhao Zongquan hurriedly answered, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the heart that he had been carrying was finally let go.
Previously, King Yan rebelled, and Zhao Zongquan was ordered to be in danger and was made the crown prince.
But in the final analysis, Zhao Zongquan's identity as a prince is actually a product of being in a hurry to obey power.
Now that King Yan is dead, and there is no external threat, it is still two to say whether Zhao Zongquan, the crown prince, can sit firmly.
Therefore, after entering the palace, Zhao Zongquan's mood was particularly worried, for fear that Zhao Zhen would suddenly change his mind, and Zhao Zongquan's situation would really be the same as his father Zhao Xuan, and he would not be able to go up or down.
However, after Zhao Zhen specially told Zhao Zongquan to treat Wei Chen well, his attitude towards Zhao Zongquan was already fully revealed.
If Zhao Zongquan can't continue to be the prince and becomes the Yuzhou regimental training envoy again, how can he treat Wei Chen well? It should be that Wei Chen pulled Zhao Zongquan and almost the same.
Obviously, Zhao Zhen has no intention of going back on his word, Zhao Zongquan will be the prince of the firm in the future, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
For a while, Zhao Zongquan had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was low-key and forbearant in his life, obscure, and the only time he took a risk was this time, he fought hard at the risk of dying and annihilating, and God finally lived up to him.
After the royal eucalyptus, Zhao Zhen's eyes swept over Wei Chen, Gu Tingye, British Gong and others in front of him one by one, and sighed leisurely:
"Since ancient times, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the loyal ministers have never been seen in the bandang. Wei Aiqing, Gu Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, these are all loyal ministers and good generals who saved me from peril in the Great Zhou, and no one is allowed to treat them slowly in the future! ”
When Zhao Zhen said this, his tone was a little excited, his face suddenly turned white, and he coughed violently.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Zhao Zongquan hurriedly stepped forward, supported Zhao Zhen, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, you have remembered what you just said. You haven't closed your eyes all night, so it's better to take a break. ”
"My body can still hold up!"
Zhao Zhen raised his hand and took a deep breath, reluctantly sat up straight, looked at the attendant on the side and said, "Quickly summon Han Zhang, Wen Yanchang, Xu Mu, and Liu Tingxi, a scholar of Hanlin University, to enter the palace, and I want to write an edict for succession!" ”
Everyone understood what Zhao Zhen meant, and Zhao Zhen was worried that the previous blood edict was not formal enough.
Therefore, according to the process, under the witness of all the ministers and ministers, let the Hanlin scholars write the edict of succession, and then Zhao Zhen personally stamped the treasure of the Great Zhou Chengtian, and completely set the title of the prince!
