Chapter 419: The Emperor Traveled at Night, Punished Before Killing, Huo Guang was ruined!
How could Huo Yu and the others not see this dazzling movement?
Including Huo Guang, who was escorted on the horse, everyone's faces showed panic and surprise.
All things that are not planned are not good things.
Huo Yu and Huo Shan immediately glanced at each other, shook their heads at each other, they didn't know what had happened.
"Little General, how am I going to go next?" Huo Shan asked anxiously, and the sound of the wind ripped his speech into pieces.
Huo Yu looked around and found that except for the horizontal gate, there was no fire on the other city gates.
However, it was too late for them to turn around, and Huo Yun's private troops were outside the Hengmen, and the other city gates would be extraneous.
What's more, a long time has passed, and those dead soldiers who pretend to be pavilion guards can't hold out for a long time, and if they delay a little longer in Chang'an City, there will be a lot more danger.
"The horizontal door remains unchanged, keep moving forward and adapt to the situation!" Huo Yu shouted.
"Yui!"
A mile away, under the rapid charge of the cavalry, it was quickly finished, and Huo Yu took this team of fake feather Linlang to stop at three feet below the door.
Although the walls of the horizontal gate were as bright as day, there were no guards guarding them.
However, in the bright light of the fire, you can see the shadows cast from the city walls.
A large number of figures were cast on the ground, teeth and claws, like ghosts.
The way to escape is right in front of you, put it in normal times, and you can pass it with a leg lift.
But at this moment, horse-rejecting piles had already been piled up under the city gate, firmly blocking the way for the cavalry under Huo Yu's command.
Although it is possible to send someone to move, it must take a lot of time, Huo Yu is worried that there will be ambushes, so he naturally does not dare to send someone to move.
Huo Yu looked at the cavalry who were following behind him, the armor and banners were very clear, and they should not be exposed.
The only ones who looked a little strange were Huo Guang and Huo Xian, who were surrounded by the cavalry.
The former is tied to a horse, and is large and sits stiffly; The latter was too petite and could only hold on to the reins stiffly to keep himself from falling off his horse.
But if they mix in with the cavalry, they won't attract the attention of others.
At this time, the turmoil in Shang Guanli seemed to have gradually subsided, leaving less and less time for Huo Yu, so he could not hesitate any longer.
"Huo Shan, go call the door!" Huo Yu ordered solemnly.
"Yui!" Huo Shan replied, and then he slapped his horse alone and came to the horse rejection stake, and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
"I am Chen Zhuo, the leader of the first team of Yulin Lang, there is chaos in the city, and there are thieves outside the city, I want to go out of the city to clear up, please open the door quickly!" Huo Shan shouted.
The figures on the city wall shook, but no one came out to answer.
"I am Chen Zhuo, the leader of the first team of Yulin Lang, there is chaos in the city, and there are thieves outside the city, I want to go out of the city to clear up, please open the door quickly!" Huo Shan shouted again.
This time, a figure finally appeared at the city gate, but this person was not dressed as a pavilion guard.
Huo Yu was overjoyed in his heart, at least it was not the cluster of arrows that greeted them with a head and a face.
However, the joy in Huo Yu's heart did not last long, and when the man at the city gate spoke, his mood immediately fell to the bottom.
"Team rate Chen Zhuo? This official sees that you are not Chen Zhuo, but Huo Shan, as for the person behind him, but General Huo Xiao? ”
It turned out that the person who showed his head on the city wall turned out to be a close confidant of the Son of Heaven - Guangluxun and Weiyang Guard Wang Ji!
Thinking of the various changes that happened on the road, Huo Yu had already been cold to the crack in his heart.
I'm afraid they have fallen into the trap of the Son of Heaven!
It's just that Huo Yu doesn't know whether under this trap is a bamboo stick that dies quickly, or a thorn that is slowly tormented.
He didn't have time to think about how his flawed strategy had leaked out, and now he had to see if he could find a way to live.
"General Huo Xiao, the county official locked you up in the back house, why did you pretend to be Yu Linlang, didn't you want to get out of the city and escape?" Wang Ji mocked again.
"Wang Fujun, since you appeared on this city wall, you naturally know what you are going to do, why are you so sarcastic?" Huo Yu patted and said immediately.
"Then the general and the general's wife can be in the team?"
"Naturally, Ben will risk death to return to Chang'an, just to save his father and mother, and hope that Wang Fujun will make a way and fulfill Ben Jiang's filial piety."
Wang Ji did not answer immediately, but gave an order behind him, and in an instant, five or six hundred pavilion guards immediately stood up behind the battlements.
At least more than half of the hundreds of pavilion strokes were holding large yellow crossbows, and although they had not yet drawn their bows, they had already put their arrows on them.
The Yu Linlang behind Huo Yu was originally pretending to be a scoundrel, but when he suddenly saw such a change, he immediately panicked.
Huo Guang, who was gagged, began to struggle even more, as if he wanted to jump off the horse and let Wang Ji save him - not to save his life, but to save his reputation.
Huo Shan hurriedly turned around and scolded a few times before he suppressed his position.
The two fake Yu Lin Lang who were guarding Huo Guang immediately became angry when they saw him struggling incessantly.
So, without mercy, he raised the scabbard and struck him a few times on the back, smashing the latter so that he could not lift it in one breath, but he also settled down
"General Huo Xiao, you rescued the general, where are you going?" Wang Ji asked.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, right?" Huo Yu said with a gloomy face.
"I'm a sword, Jun is a fish and meat, General Huo Xiao had better say it, otherwise the arrow in the hand of this city patrol pavilion will not recognize people!"
This is not a consultation, but a naked coercion.
"I'm going to the north!" Huo Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that General Huo Xiao is not just going to the north, but going to join the Huns!"
When Wang Ji said this, he deliberately raised his voice to the highest, so that everyone in the city and the city could hear it clearly.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the pavilion guards on the city wall were in an uproar.
Defecting to the north to be a dog for the Huns is simply a more shameless thing than rebellion.
In the past few months, whether it is Fan Mingyou's rebellion or Huo's house being raided, the people of Chang'an City still have some respect for the Huo family.
Now that he heard that Huo Yu was going to defect to the Xiongnu with the general, the remnants of respect disappeared completely.
At this moment, Sima Tao Anran, the city gate of Hengmen, was standing beside Wang Ji, and naturally he heard it most clearly, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
At the end of the night, Wang Ji suddenly came to Hengmen with hundreds of pavilion guards and told him to stop Huo Yu and Huo Guang from defecting.
At that time, Tao Anran only thought that Huo Yu and Huo Guang were going to escape from Chang'an City, but he didn't expect that the other party was going to the Huns!
The war between the Han and the Xiongnu has been fought for a hundred years, and the families of the people of Chang'an City have more or less enmity with the Huns.
Just like Tao Anran, his great-grandfather followed Emperor Gao and died in Baishan Mountain, his grandfather lost a hand in Shangjun, and his father died on the way to attack Wolf Juxu.
Therefore, the people of the Han Dynasty not only hated the Huns, but also hated the Han people who wanted to flee to the Huns to serve as pawns for the Huns.
If it weren't for Tao Anran's duty, as the city gate Sima had to obey the military order, he would have pulled out the big yellow crossbow in his hand and shot an arrow at Huo Yu.
Tao Anran was still able to control his emotions, but the ordinary pavilion guards were already furious.
They didn't dare to disobey the military order and shoot Huo Yu and the others, but they began to abuse them wantonly.
All kinds of vicious curses rang out one after another, and they had the momentum of drowning Huo Yu and others under the city.
"It's shameless that you want to be a dog for the Hun thieves!"
"It's shameless, it's something that is not even as good as a pig or a dog!"
"This Huo Guang should have died a few years earlier, and the tree of the grave is coarse!"
"It's a shame on the face of the prestigious champion Hou!"
"I must go and burn the Huo Mansion to the ground in order to relieve my hatred!"
"Han thief Huo Guang, hurry up and arrest him!"
"Poisonous woman Huo Xian, return my sister's life!"
The scolding in the city became louder and louder, and the horses under the city were frightened and confused, and the knights kept restraining to be able to stabilize.
The fake Yu Lin Lang, who was still murderous just now, already had the intention of retreating at this moment, and they didn't know whether to retreat or advance.
The most desperate thing was Huo Guang, who listened to the continuous scolding in the city, and his heart was completely dead.
The little bit of dignity he had left was finally buried by Huo Yu and Huo Xian under this horizontal gate.
The matter of rebellion and the murder of the monarch are all things of the court far away from the rivers and lakes, even if the Son of Heaven has a conclusion, the people will be suspicious of deceit.
But now, under the eyes of hundreds of pavilion soldiers, he Huo Guang rebelled against the Han and defected to the Huns, where is there a little room for quibble?
One spread ten, ten spread hundred, it won't take two or three days, and the entire Chang'an City will know about it.
In another ten days and half a month, I am afraid that the whole world will know.
Thinking of this, Huo Guang, who was firmly tied up and gagged, was angry and annoyed, and he burst into tears for a while.
Huo Guang wanted to defend himself, but in this chaos, where would anyone notice him?
What's more, this is the result that the Son of Heaven wants, otherwise there would not be these hundreds of pavilions and hundreds of pairs of eyes on this city wall.
"Since Wang Fujun already knows, why bother asking!?"
"Either open the city gate and let me wait out, or come down to fight, don't insult the general again, the soldier can be killed, not humiliated!"
Huo Yu roared angrily, and at the same time, he had already pulled out his sword, and the fake feather Lin Lang behind him was also going to fight the trapped beasts.
"Drumming, this official has an edict from the Son of Heaven to pass on!" Wang Ji shouted again.
Soon, the war drums under the city tower sounded, and from the alleys on both sides of the city, six or seven hundred pavilion guards armed with spears and halberds rushed out.
Before Huo Yu and those fake feather Lin Lang under his command could react, they were surrounded by Rulin's spears.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven, the official reads a sentence, and the pavilion guards follow a sentence, so that the general and the little general must hear it clearly!"
"Yui!" The pavilion guards replied in unison.
The content of the edict of the Son of Heaven was already known to Wang Ji. But at this moment, he still solemnly took out the edict in his arms.
Then he began to read word by word.
"Huo's rebellion against the Han Dynasty, great rebellion, surrender to the Huns, the world will not tolerate it."
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I won't stop it, let it go north."
"Taiyi is above, the people are below, whether they are loyal or traitorous, they have their own public opinions!"
Every time Wang Ji recited a sentence, hundreds of pavilion guards up and down the gate also read it again.
This sound shook the earth, as if it was going to wake up the entire Chang'an City.
The edict only has three sentences and forty-eight characters, and under the joint efforts of thousands of people in the city, the words are bladed, nailing Huo Guang and Huo Shi to the horizontal gate.
From now on, when the people of the Han Dynasty mention traitors again, I am afraid that it will not be Zhao Xin, Li Guangli and others, but Huo Guang!
"This official is afraid that General Huo Xiao and General Huo will not be able to hear clearly, so read it again!" Wang Ji ordered again.
"Huo's rebellion against the Han Dynasty, great rebellion, surrender to the Huns, the world will not tolerate it."
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I won't stop it, let it go north."
"Heaven and earth can be seen, the people can discuss, whether they are loyal or treacherous, and they have their own public opinions!"
When the last word "public opinion" came to an end, there was an eerie silence up and down the horizontal door.
The pavilion guards in the city had already guessed that the Son of Heaven had let Huo Guang go, in order to make the latter infamous and discredited.
They also felt that it was too cheap for them to let Huo Guang go, so that the powerful ministers and Han thieves with wolf ambitions should all be punished with five punishments.
But the Son of Heaven has an order, and they can't disobey it, so they can only express their anger and dissatisfaction with silence.
Huo Yu under the city naturally saw through the "intentions" of the Son of Heaven.
But since he has forgotten the name of loyalty and filial piety, and only fame and fortune are left in his eyes, he naturally does not feel inappropriate, but feels lucky.
"Is what Wang Fujun said true?" Huo Yu didn't care about the angry eyes of the pavilion guards at all, and couldn't wait to ask.
"This is an edict written by the Son of Heaven himself, so it is naturally true!" Wang Ji said coldly.
"In that case, the prince of the palace should quickly open the city gate and let it go!"
"The edict of the Son of Heaven only said that the Huo clan should be allowed to flee north, and no one who was not from the Huo clan should leave Chang'an, and they should be ordered to dismount and surrender immediately!"
As soon as Wang Ji's words came out, it immediately aroused the resistance of the fake feather Lin Lang.
They are dead soldiers raised by the Huo family, but they are absolutely unwilling to stay and wait for death in vain.
Since Hengmen can't go out, then at least you can go back to Chang'an, find a place to hide and have a chance to live.
At that moment, thirty or fifty people turned their horses' heads and prepared to forcibly break out of the encirclement formed by the pavilion guards.
Before they could move, the strong crossbowmen in the outer circle immediately drew their bows and arrows, and fired a volley.
In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty people were shot to the ground.
The cluster of arrows flying around almost hit Huo Guang and Huo Xian who were mixed in the crowd, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.
"Dismount, surrender!" The spear-wielding guards roared in unison, and the crossbowmen behind them drew their bows and arrows again.
These fake feather Lin Lang no longer had the idea of struggling to resist, and they dismounted and surrendered one after another.
Guards with short blades had already rushed up, tied them up one by one, and marched them in a column to other places.
In just a quarter of an hour, the situation changed abruptly, and in the end, only the four people surnamed Huo were still sitting on the horses.
Huo Xian panicked, Huo Guang was desperate, Huo Shan was silent, and Huo Yu was indifferent......
Huo Yu looked at the dead soldiers who were escorted away, but he was not moved, and even felt that they were a little useless.
"Wang Fujun, can you open the door now?" Huo Yu asked again.
"The Son of Heaven has no jokes, so he can naturally open the door!" After Wang Ji finished speaking, he said to Tao Anran beside him.
Although the latter was a little unwilling, he still ordered the men and pavilions of the department to go down to the city to clean up the horse rejection pile.
"Mother, are you hurt?" Huo Yu asked as he stared at the slowly opening city gate.
"There are no injuries." Huo Xian said in a trembling voice, although there was some panic in his heart, there was also some excitement.
"Father, are you hurt?" Huo Yu asked again.
Huo Guang was still gagged, unable to speak at all, and after a long time, he shook his head in despair.
"Huo Shan, look at my father, I'll go out of the city together!"
"Yui!"
Huo Yu's words are obviously redundant, Huo Guang will not struggle anymore, when he arrives in this field, even if he dies under the city gate, no one will believe him.
The heavy city gate finally opened, and the four people surnamed Huo rode out under the angry gaze of hundreds of gate guards, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Fu Jun, do you really let this thief escape?" Tao Anran said unwillingly!
"Taiyi God is above, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty are above, they escaped from Chang'an City, and they can't escape from heaven's punishment!"
There is no heavenly punishment, but there is a heavenly punishment!
Wang Ji looked at the increasingly blurred backs of those people, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (End of chapter)
