Chapter 71 Fraud Kaining Mansion
!!!!
"The army of the imperial court is coming???!"
"How is this possible?!! It should be about ten days before the army of the imperial court comes, and even if it is lightly armed, it will take about five or six days. ”
"How could it have come so quickly!!"
Zhu Xiyuan said with a shocked expression.
"Really! My lord! The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are really here, and they are already outside the city! ”
Again, the soldier who reported last time replied.
"Are you sure?? It's not that you're looking at the wrong person??? ”
Hearing the soldier's confirmation again, Zhu Xiyuan was still a little incredulous.
How could the soldiers and horses of the imperial court come so quickly?
Could it be that this time the ministers did not drag their feet in the rear? Directly let the vanguard troops send over first?
If you think about it carefully, you will find that there is indeed this willingness.
The imperial court has been procrastinating in the past, maybe those things are not in a hurry, and they are still far away, so the reaction is naturally a little unhurried.
After all, sometimes, even if the troops have passed, it is very likely that the local officials have already solved it.
Therefore, the imperial court generally sends a large army for as little as three months and as long as more than half a year.
First, in order to better arrange and gather troops.
The second is to see if the local officials can put down the rebellion within a few months, and if it is pacified, the army will naturally not have to go, and it will also save a sum of military expenses.
But if it is still not pacified within a few months, it means that this time the matter really needs the imperial court to intervene.
Then it is all the more necessary to assemble troops.
But now it should be that the traitor has hit the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the impact will definitely be extraordinary.
The imperial court will inevitably resolve this matter quickly, so it is possible to directly let the vanguard troops arrive first.
It's not out of the question.
After thinking about all this, Zhu Xiyuan asked the soldiers to take him to the city gate.
Whether the army of the imperial court is true or not, let him know it at a glance.
After a while, when Zhu Xiyuan came to the city wall under the leadership of the soldiers.
I saw a group of troops in red and white armor under the city.
But only a small percentage of this group has armor, and most of the rest are cloth jackets.
However, this is the case, which makes Zhu Xiyuan believe that this is a reinforcement from the imperial court.
The vanguard troops sent by the Imperial Court in a hurry would definitely not be able to take care of everyone.
And now the financial situation of the imperial court, who doesn't know how bad it is.
How can there be money to put on armor for everyone.
can wear some of it, which shows that the court specially gave it for the sake of face.
"You ask which unit is the bottom line, and how did it come so quickly?"
However, for the sake of safety, Zhu Xiyuan still asked the soldiers to ask the troops below again.
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, the soldier immediately shouted to the city.
"Hey! My lord asked me to ask you which unit you are from, and how did you come so quickly??!! ”
After a while, there was a loud shout from below.
"We are Huang Fei, the chief soldier of the Wuhu Water Division, and a subordinate of Lord Huang!"
"It was the imperial court that asked us to come over to support first!!"
"My lord, they are the subordinates of Lord Huang, the chief soldier of the Naval Division."
After listening to the following reply, the soldier turned his head and replied.
"I'm not blind, I hear it."
Zhu Xiyuan said lightly.
Then he began to think carefully, and he remembered that the imperial court had indeed asked the state capitals around Ning Guofu to come to support at that time.
This must be my own person, right?
After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Xiyuan, who was not at ease, still said to the soldiers.
"Let them show Huang Fei's token to prove their identity, otherwise the government can't tell whether they are their own people or traitors pretending."
"Yes, sir."
The soldier continued to act as a tool man and shouted downward.
After a while, under the friendly exchanges between the two sides.
The "Ming Army" under the city handed over the token to prove their identity through the cradle.
After pulling up the cradle, the soldier hurriedly showed it to Zhu Xiyuan.
Zhu Xiyuan, who took over the hand, groped carefully and found that it was indeed a token of the characteristics of the imperial court.
It is also engraved with the font of "Daming Water Division Chief Soldier Huang Fei".
Immediately, Zhu Xiyuan was relieved and said to the soldiers beside him.
"Let them open the gates, and below them are their own people."
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
The soldier happily received the order.
But Zhu Xiyuan didn't see the soldier's smile at this moment, which looked a little weird.
Follow the soldiers to the city gate to meet the reinforcements.
Zhu Xiyuan suddenly thought, could the retreat of the traitors yesterday also be related to the arrival of this support army?
This possibility won Zhu Xiyuan's approval in an instant.
After all, the traitor is going to enter Nanjing, and it is impossible to pass Xuancheng who is in the way of the road.
Their sudden retreat this time should have been the news that Wuhu's sailors were going to reinforce Ning Guofu.
Only then did he retreat in a hurry.
When I thought of this, the city gates had already been opened.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiyuan couldn't care about thinking about anything.
Hurriedly led the people out of the city gate.
As he walked, he said: "This mansion is here to thank Mr. Huang and all the sailor brothers for their ......."
Just as Zhu Xiyuan was about to say some polite words of thanks, he was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.
Looking at the appearance of the "Ming Army" outside the city hurriedly entering the city, Zhu Xiyuan instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.
But he didn't have a chance to speak.
The next moment, Zhu Di, who was in the lead, directly carried Zhu Xiyuan to the horse.
That's right, this "Ming army" is not a naval division stationed in Wuhu at all.
It's a "rebel" led by Zhu Di!
"Hahahaha, Zhu Zhifu, you thank the wrong person, if you want to thank you, I should thank you~"
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have come in this Xuancheng so quickly~"
"I'm here to thank you, hahahaha!"
Zhu Xiyuan was first slammed onto the horse, and then heard these words.
His expression instantly changed from the original bewilderment to horror.
Hurriedly struggled to get up.
"You! You...... You're not a yellow flyer??!!! ”
"You are the Emperor of Traitors!!"
"Yes, I am what you call the "Emperor of Traitors"! ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was not angry.
Just smiled casually.
"But I, the "traitor emperor", I'm afraid I'm about to become a real emperor! ”
Hearing Zhu Di's rebellious words, Zhu Xiyuan was angry and angry.
He just wanted to open his mouth to scold Zhu Di angrily.
was dizzy by a bumpy horseback, and his stomach was even more upside down.
A scholar like him, who has been reading poetry and books for decades since he was a child, has never encountered this feeling of being pressed on horseback, let alone that he can't even ride a horse.
Now that he didn't spit it out on the spot, he was considered strong-willed.
And here, accompanied by Zhu Di led the cavalry to rush in.
The soldiers around who were originally preparing to greet them were immediately frightened and scattered one after another.
They didn't dare to use their bodies to block the cavalry, this was completely an act of death.
"Zhu Xiyuan has been captured! Don't surrender yet!! ”
