Chapter 85: The Change of Xu Du (1)
"Wang Changshi, Fang Jinhaiyu is a little safe, King Wei is powerful in the world, and now the Shangyuan Decree is approaching, why not set off the lights to show the peaceful weather ......"
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, just a few days after Zhengdan, Jin Yi found his friend and boss who commanded the Xudu Imperial Forest Army, Shi Wangbi, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and put forward a proposal to set off lights on the Shangyuan Festival to show peace.
"Deyi's words are reasonable, if the king of Wei in the thirteen states has been leveled by nine today, and the north is a little peaceful, just let go of the curfew, so that the people can also enjoy the festival!"
Speaking of which, due to war and other reasons, the lantern festival that Dahan would hold every year during the Shangyuan Festival has been held for many years.
Therefore, after hearing Jin Yi's suggestion, Wang Bi did not have any doubts, and agreed after only a little consideration.
……
"Look at Brother Deyi's face is happy, but the king must have promised to cast the lights?"
Geng Ji's mansion, looking at Jin Yi who came with a happy face, Geng Ji, Wei Huang and two other middle-aged people in their thirties who had been waiting for a long time also greeted him with a happy face.
"Haha, rest assured, that king must be a confidant of Cao Thief, listen to me sing praises for his lord and whitewash the peace, there is no reason...... He has promised to put on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to put on a large display of lights in the city, lift the curfew, and let the people celebrate the Lantern Festival! ”
Hearing Geng Ji's inquiry, Jin Yi couldn't help but smile a little smugly.
It's just that what a few people didn't notice was that when Jin Yi said the word 'Cao thief', a young servant in the hall couldn't help but move slightly.
"Geng Shaofu, Wei Sizhi, at that time, in the name of the labor army, I will set fire to the camp. Each of you shall lead the servants of the household, and fight in two ways from the left and right. After killing Wang Bi, we will ask the Son of Heaven to climb the Wufeng Tower and summon hundreds of officials to ask for the thief......"
came to the hall, and after some discussion, Jin Yi, the only one who was a martial artist among several people, immediately began to arrange and assign the task of doing his own thing.
"Ji Miao, Ji Mu, your two brothers led people to kill people from outside the city and set fire to them. Be sure to make a big show and call on the people to kill the thieves, so as to intercept the rescue soldiers in the city, and wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven to recruit peace......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we agreed that the second watch will do something at that time, don't be like Dong Cheng taking trouble for himself!"
In the end, after assigning their respective tasks, the five of them immediately swore an oath to the sky and made a bloody alliance before they left separately and prepared military horses and equipment.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, although today is the Shangyuan Festival, we have a heavy responsibility, and we should not be greedy. Drink this one, and everyone will disperse! ”
The second watch of the fifteenth night of the first lunar month was approaching, and in the camp of the Imperial Forest Army not far from the palace of Xudu, Shi Wangbi, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was responsible for commanding the Imperial Forest Army, saw that the generals in the tent were already a little drunk, and immediately prepared to end the banquet.
"Dangdangdang......"
"Someone, it's out of the water, put out the fire!"
However, just as Wang Bi, who was holding the wine cup, finished speaking, suddenly, a warning and shout for firefighting came from outside the tent.
"Bang!"
As soon as he heard that there was a fire in the camp, Wang Bing was suddenly shocked and threw away the wine cup in his hand, and hurriedly strode out of the tent.
"Kill, kill all the thieves ......"
However, as soon as he stepped out of the big tent, in addition to the fire that rose to the sky, the sound of shouting and killing came from both sides outside the camp.
At the same time, in the city of Xudu, where the stars and the moon were shining and the lanterns were blooming, the same fire was in the sky at this moment, and the sound of killing was everywhere.
Needless to say, the fire in the camp and in the city was naturally set by the brothers Jin Bao, Geng Ji and Ji Miao Jimu, who had been prepared for a long time.
"Oh no, someone wants to make trouble! The generals quickly gathered the sergeants and went with me to protect Your Majesty......"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Bi couldn't understand that this was someone doing chaos. Therefore, he immediately made a decision, and immediately issued an order to gather the soldiers and go to the palace to 'protect' the Son of Heaven.
It's just that in the face of this sudden fire in the camp, the Royal Forest Army is already very good if there is no camp roar. So in a hurry, how can it be so easy to gather the soldiers.
"After you gather the soldiers, you will come later, I will go first!"
Seeing that it was not easy to collect the soldiers, and worried that someone would take the opportunity to 'hijack' the Son of Heaven, Wang Bi, who couldn't wait, left the camp with only a few personal guards, preparing to go to the palace first to direct the people on duty to defend strictly.
……
"Be bold Geng Ji, the king treats you well, you dare to rebel!"
Outside the camp of the Imperial Forest Army, seeing Geng Ji who was leading hundreds of people dressed in armor like turtle shells on the opposite side, Wang Bi couldn't help but sink in his heart.
You must know that this is not the time when everyone had iron armor in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, even the Imperial Forest Army in his hands, except for officers and generals, soldiers are just a set of leather armor. So don't look at the other party's lack of manpower, he doesn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
"Cao Cao's desire to usurp the Han is well known, and I have been fighting against the thieves of the Han Dynasty, how can I rebel! If you tie your hands today, I will spare your life, otherwise you will ......"
"Kill me out, it's important to protect Your Majesty!"
Without waiting for Geng Ji to finish speaking, Wang Bi, who was worried that something would go wrong in the palace, shouted loudly and fled with a few personal guards.
"Stubborn!"
Seeing that Wang Bi still wanted to escape, Geng Jidang raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at Wang Bi.
"Boom!"
With a crisp sound of the bowstring vibrating, a sharp arrow swooped down like a poisonous snake towards the king.
It's just that Geng Ji is a civil official after all, although this arrow hit Wang Bi, but the accuracy was a little worse, it only hit his shoulder and did not shoot him off the horse. In addition, the king must be fast, but he really let him rush out in a moment.
But fortunately, although Wang Bi rushed out, his guards did not escape, and they were all shot off their horses by the servants and servants brought by Geng Ji.
"Follow me!"
Seeing that Wang Bi, the thief leader, had escaped, Geng Jidang had to go to chase after him.
"Master, it is important to make a forced landing on the Royal Forest Army at the moment, and the master is here to preside over the overall situation, and the villain is willing to retrieve Wang Bi's head for the master!"
Just as Geng Ji was about to lead people to chase after Wang Bi, a young servant took the initiative to stand up and ask for his life.
"Well, that's fine! The king will not be able to run far if he is hit by an arrow, Geng Zhong, you will lead someone to cut off the head of the king for me, and the rest will be killed with me! ”
Geng Ji, who only groaned for a while, knew the importance of mastering the Imperial Forest Army, even if he agreed to the servant's request, gave him the task of chasing and killing Wang Bi, and took the rest of the people into the Royal Forest Army camp.
……
"Plop!"
In an alley not too far from the camp of the Imperial Forest Army, because of the arrow wound on his shoulder, Wang Bi, who barely escaped on horseback, finally couldn't support it, but he fell off his horse.
"Damn, I didn't expect this old guy to run pretty fast. But you might as well get up and run again, hahahaha! ”
Just as Wang Bi fell from his horse, a joking and mocking laugh sounded behind him, but a bright and cold ring-headed knife was slashed down by him with a strong wind.
