Chapter 19: Hua Mohan's Death
Chapter 19: Hua Mohan's Death
By the time Hua Mohan received the news, Shuangluo City had already been captured by the barbarians. Hua Mohan was anxious, and knew that he should have gone to the border earlier. This barbarian was so abnormal this time, not only would they not attack in the snow, but they also came to plunder the grain in autumn, and they retreated before winter came. Not only did they not go back this time, but they actually launched an attack at the end of the year, what did they want to do?
Hua Mohan urgently ordered the garrison of Enshi Prefecture to assemble in Changle City, plus the defenders who retreated from Shuangluo City, it should not be a problem to defend against the barbarians in Changle City.
Here we need to talk about the battle of Shuangluo Castle, because the soldiers defending the city were too lax, which led to a sudden attack by the barbarians, and the city gate was easily breached. After that, the barbarians invaded the city in a big way, causing the defenders who were still in the city to react at all. Seeing the barbarians enter the city, the defenders were scattered.
The defenders basically had no structure, and they fled to Changle City without a command. Therefore, although Shuangluo City was broken by the barbarians, the heavy troops gathered in Shuangluo City actually suffered no losses. The main reason is that the whole army of Shuangluo City thought that the barbarians would not attack, and they did not expect that the barbarians would be abnormal this time, and there was a situation that had not appeared for hundreds of years, so they were unprepared and saw that the barbarians had already entered the city, and before those generals had time to give orders, the soldiers had already fled.
Therefore, the defenders in Changle City now, compared to Shuangluo City, not only did not decrease, but there were more. Originally, those garrisons in Enshi Prefecture had already assembled, and Hua Mohan planned to take them to Shuangluo City together for the New Year, but this time, Hua Mohan was caught off guard, and he didn't have time to wait for himself, so he directly let those garrisons that had been assembled go to Changle City and the defeated army of Shuangluo City to guard Changle City.
And the barbarians also seemed to know that Changle City had already assembled heavy troops, so after capturing Shuangluo City, there was no intention of advancing. Instead, the barbarians marched into Shuangluo City and made a posture of defending the city.
Hua Mohan urgently mobilized the military funds of Enshi Prefecture, and planned to set off to Changle City with the military funds in three days. Just when the punishment was about to be imposed on the third day, the emperor's urgent edict came, and it was still eight hundred miles to expedite. It was said that His Majesty the Emperor sent Qin to deliver the holy decree, and asked Hua Mohan to stay in the palace and wait for the holy decree.
This wait is half a month, and when Hua Mohan came back, he walked for more than a month, because of the family he brought and the carriage he sitted. And this chincha is said to have come with a group of cavalry guards, on horseback. It is said that half a month has passed, and it is time for the Qincha to arrive.
Just when Hua Mohan was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Qin mission, in Li Chun's mansion, it was still the foreign envoy who was talking to Li Chun.
"Are you sure it's safe this time?"
Li Chun smiled confidently and said, "Rest assured, the emperor can no longer take care of the government now, and I will handle all those twists and turns for him." This time, he faked the holy decree and executed Hua Mohan, as long as the holy decree arrived, Hua Mohan would definitely die!"
"Oh?" the envoy asked with some disbelief: "Then the Hua family has been in charge of Enshi Prefecture for hundreds of years, if he has to resist the decree, I am afraid that with the prestige of his Hua family, you can't help him." ”
"Messenger, you don't understand the people of the Hua family. The Hua family has been loyal for generations, and for the sake of his Hua family's reputation and their loyal and subordinate temperament, it is impossible for him Hua Mohan to resist the order. What's more, I also asked the messenger to tell him that as long as he dies, his son can still inherit the kingdom, and his Hua family can still be brilliant. But if he doesn't die ... ”
Speaking of this, Li Chun continued with a sinister smile: "If he doesn't die, not only will the Hua family have a reputation for betrayal, but the imperial army will attack them in the name of counterinsurgency, as long as they are defeated, the people of his Hua family will execute the whole family." And his small Enshi Prefecture is impossible to defeat the army of the entire empire, you say such a thing, Hua Mohan does he dare not die?"
The messenger nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the success of our plan is just around the corner, then I will also rush back and tell the master that he is ready to start dividing the cake." Ha ha... ”
Li Chun smiled cooperatively, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
At about the same time, Hua Mohan's Qin Cha, which he had been waiting for for half a month, finally arrived.
When Qin Cha led a team of guards and entered Washington in the middle of the night covered in wind and snow, Hua Mohan was anxiously waiting in the study. He hadn't slept well for days. When everyone in Washington heard that the Qin mission had arrived, they had already arrived at the study, and they all hurriedly went to the study.
Hua Yingying tightened his neckline, and a cold wind blew, which still made him tremble involuntarily. The weather in the north is really cold. Turning around and seeing Xin Menghan who was following him, he also seemed to be shaking coldly, shook his head, and untied the cloak he had just put on and draped it on Xin Menghan.
It seems that he has become accustomed to the young master being kind to him, so Xin Menghan did not show a surprised look, but just said thank you to Hua Yingying with a slightly red face.
Hua Yingying smiled, reached out and grabbed her cold little hand in his hand, and led her to the study like this. At this time, Ning Xi should have rested. Only Xin Menghan, a silly girl, likes to follow her, always like her own personal maid, and she will go to rest after she sleeps.
When I arrived at the door of the study, I saw that my mother and second aunt had just arrived at the door of the study, and Hua Yu followed Liu Ruxuan honestly. Others, Hua Cheng with some servants and maids to serve them.
Seeing Hua Yingying and Meng Qi coming, Hua Fu, who was originally standing outside the study, hurriedly walked over.
"Hua Fu, is the master and Qin Cha in the study?" Meng Qi hurriedly asked.
"Hmm. As soon as Qin Cha came, he directly asked people to take them to the study, and then asked to announce the decree to the master alone. Then I went out and waited outside the study, and they stayed outside. Hua Fu said, gesturing to the group of guards standing at the door of the study.
"Then let's wait outside. ”
Following Meng Qi's words, the group waited outside for the messenger in the study to deliver the message.
Hua Yingying scratched his head in boredom, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become so dull. The heavy snow is still falling, the heavy snow has stopped for a few days these days, and it started to fall again two days ago. It was the first time Hua Yingying saw such a big snowfall, whether it was in his previous life or in this life. After a few days, the snowflakes have already put up a thick layer on the ground, and when you step on it, it is almost up to your knees.
The snowflakes in the yard have already been cleaned up by the servants, but now, they have been put up again. Hua Yingying stomped his feet boredly, flattened the snowflakes under his feet, and listened to the creaking sound, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable. It seems that something bad is about to happen. shook his head, pulled Xin Menghan to his side, and hugged him into his arms, for the first time, his heart was as pure as a snowflake, and he simply wanted to hug him.
With a "squeak", the door to the study opened. The Qincha pushed the door out, this Qincha couldn't tell his age, and he was dressed in the palace. With a pale face and a smooth chin, people can think at a glance that this person is a eunuch!
"Let's go, go back to the capital. When this person came out, he didn't look at Mengqi and them, and directly ordered the guards around him.
Hua Fu first felt that something was wrong, because he suddenly couldn't feel Hua Mohan's breath in the study. Hua Fu dodged and rushed into the study, just when Meng Qi and the others didn't react, and were about to order someone to send Qin out of the house, Hua Fu came out of the study with red eyes.
I saw Hua Fu walk to the door of the study and pause, and when he saw the Qin Cha who was heading outside, he jumped over. Hua Yingying felt that he must be dazzled, at such a long distance, if Hua Fu flew like last time, he would not be surprised, but obviously Hua Fu's legs were slightly bent, and he jumped over.
Then, before everyone could react, Hua Fu had already reached the side of a guard, and the guard only felt that his eyes were flickering, and then a figure flashed, and then he heard a 'sonorous', and the knife in his waist was pulled out of its sheath. Then I saw a flash of the knife, and there was already a knife on the neck of the Qincha, and when I looked at it, wasn't it my own knife?
"There are assassins! let go of the chincha!" a group of guards hurriedly drew their swords and surrounded Hua Fu in the middle.
"Bold minion, do you want to rebel?" Na Qincha saw that his neck was on his neck, and although he was afraid to die, he still had the courage to roar out.
Almost at the same time that Qin Cha roared, Meng Qi also roared: "Huafu, don't be presumptuous!"
"Mengqi, he killed Mo Han!"
