Chapter 630: The Imperial Capital (1)

The thick murderous aura under the night became heavier and heavier, and Bai Qi, who rushed to the barracks, didn't even have time to inform the commanders of the other two Guards Legions, so he hurried towards the imperial capital with the Guards Legion under his command. The gate of the Imperial Capital had already been opened, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division watched the murderous First Guards Legion enter the city, and suddenly a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts, they just received an order to strictly guard the main roads of the Imperial Capital, and cooperate with the people of the Black Ice Platform and the East Factory to arrest people, and they did not know about tonight's actions.

Xu Yao hurriedly drove down from the city with his people, and Bai Qi sat on his war horse and looked at the troops passing by, his eyes full of worry. I don't know weishenme, and I have always had a sense of ominousness in my heart since I decided to do it. There are only 200,000 horses in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and these horses are also composed of elites selected from various types, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong. Bai Qi saw Xu Yao coming up, and hurriedly led someone to greet him.

"General Bai, Gonggong Zhao asked the last general to tell the general, and after the general led the troops into the city, he immediately took control of the palace with his soldiers, and the 7th Guards Regiment and the 8th Guards Regiment will accept the defense of the city, and the generals of the 3rd and 5th Guards Regiments must also be effectively in their hands. Gonggong Wei had already asked the Fourth Guards Regiment to rush over from the Lantian camp not far away, and Gonggong Zhao asked General Bai to find a way to control the two teams of Jin Wuwei and the Dragoon. Gonggong Zhao and Gonggong Wei asked all the soldiers and horses in the city to obey General Bai's dispatch. Xu Yao was also anxious, but the excitement on his face was difficult to hide, he also just knew who he wanted to be loyal to, and now Liu Fan's reputation was in full swing in the empire. It's not just because of Liu Fan's identity. is also because Liu Fan is helping the three major border armies of the empire to resist the enemies around him with his own strength.

"I see. I will have people send a message to the two generals Li Xin and Sima Ao to let them enter the city as quickly as possible, and you of the Seventh Guards Legion and the Eighth Guards Legion will immediately go to find their main generals, let the two generals Wan Lei and Li Wei immediately lead the troops to stabilize the situation in the city, and surround the mansions of the Eight Great Emperors and Zhang Rang, and wait for my orders, the men and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will control the north and east of the city, and give up the south and west of the city to Li Xin and Sima Ao. Bai Qi said to Xu Yao with a solemn face, Xu Yao's face seemed to think of something, and he immediately took people away in a hurry.

"The guards come with me. Deng Yu, you should immediately go out of the city and let the 3rd and 5th Guards Legions enter the city immediately, Wang Gan will now start to control the whole army, and immediately command the legion to take over the defense of the imperial city, there must be no mistake. ”

"No!" Two generals walked out of the rear of Bai Qi, and immediately beckoned their men and horses to rush to the place where their mission was. Bai Qi shook the dead ancient beast that sat down, and rushed towards the imperial city with his personal guards. The deputy general Wang Qian immediately commanded his army to divide into three black torrents in the city, and drove towards the palace with a murderous spirit. This operation of the palace is the most important, the defense of the palace must be defended by its own people to rest assured, and although Li Xin and Sima Ao Baiqi are confident that they can control the two, they are not at ease after all. He placed them in the south and west of the city, and controlled at least half of the imperial capital himself. Moreover, the north and east of the city are the important places where the warehouses in the imperial capital are located, and they must be in the hands of their own people.

All parties in the city were preparing for the upcoming fight, and Bai Qi and Yin Chengfeng were also keenly aware of Zhao Gao's movements, and hurriedly sent their cronies to contact the powerful representatives of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants in the Imperial Capital. They had to get the full support of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants in the shortest possible time, and it was not something that could be done in a day or two if the three legions that were transferred by Zhang Rang wanted to rush back. However, several corps outside the city have been delaying in the face of their transfer orders, and there is no clear statement yet. And the spies at the gate of the city have just sent back the information, there are already three corps into Beijing, what does this mean, this means that Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian have mastered these three corps, their advantage is indifferent, the legions they can control now are blocked outside the city, and now they can't enter the city, they must get out of the city as soon as possible.

Outside the city, more than a dozen of them were speeding all the way to the imperial capital, and the wind horse beasts sitting down had already increased their speed to the fastest, and everyone still felt that the speed was not fast enough. Everyone's face was tired, everyone's body was dusty, and everyone changed horses along the way and never rested just to get to the imperial capital as soon as possible. The person who came was Liu Fan and several generals under his command who were hurrying over, followed by several fierce generals under Liu Fan's command, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Pei Yuanqing, Li Siye, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, as well as the three Xiao Feng brothers who were transferred from Yangzhou and came to gather halfway, Ling Hu Chong and Lang Chuanyun.

"My lord, if you rush like this, you will be able to reach the imperial capital in less than half an hour. Wei Qing followed Liu Fan's side, and the hurried road for days made everyone's faces full of fatigue, from the beginning of receiving Zhao Gao's urgent message, Liu Fan, who had been recuperating from his injuries in Yizhou, hurried to the imperial capital with a few people under his command to support, they didn't know that Zhao Gao and the four of them had already discussed what to do tonight, Liu Fan brought people to support, purely to open a gap in the enemy's interior, to buy time for Li Jing and Yuwen Chengdu Corps, which were struggling to support in Yuzhou, the main force of the Yizhou Corps has begun to gradually advance eastward, but the enemy is too huge。 Li Jing and Yuwen Chengdu Corps suffered heavy casualties, and if it weren't for the continuous deployment and support of the nearby corps, I am afraid that they are now invincible soldiers.

"Continue to hurry, there are only a few people in Zhao Gao in the imperial capital, the liliang in their hands is not very strong, and they are still in the enemy's interior, and they may fall into a place of no return. We must rush to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible to provide them with the necessary support, and if we can control the Imperial Capital, it is best to rescue them, if not. Liu Fan's heart rose a hint of heaviness, if you can control the imperial capital, it is the best, if you can't control it, at least you have to get Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji out, as for Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian, they will die if they die, anyway, they are all eunuchs, and the reputation of history is not very good, and if they die, they will die. If Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji died, Liu Fan's would be distressed, especially Bai Qi.

Liu Fan urged the sit-down Jueying to continue on his way. Although the identity of Zhao Gao and others has not been exposed. But Liu Fan was on the way here. Received intelligence support from Liu Yu and Xia Tielin. If you can convince the nobles in the imperial capital, you can at least stabilize the situation in the imperial capital. And the only liliang that Liu Fan can control in the imperial capital now is the liliang controlled by Zhao Gao and others. And the potential helpers are the nobles of the court who did not have time to escape.

"Lord, there seem to be a few messengers there, and it seems that the direction seems to have come out of the imperial capital, and the messengers who came out in the middle of the night seem to be very nervous in the imperial capital. ”

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, you two go and bring those messengers to me. Liu Fan frowned and looked at the several messengers who came in a hurry, and suddenly had a premonition. As Wei Qing said, a messenger came out of the imperial capital in the middle of the night. The situation in the imperial capital must have reached an imminent situation, Dian Wei and Xu Chu nodded and immediately expelled the sitted war horses and rushed towards several messengers, and soon brought several messengers to Liu Fan.

"The lowly Black Ice Terrace messenger Hei Feng, on the orders of the Governor, sent urgent information to the Lord, and asked the Lord to check it. Several of the Black Ice Terrace's messengers pulled an envelope from their bosoms. Liu Fan frowned and took the envelope in his hand, and after checking it confidently, he hurriedly opened the information in his hand. Wei Qing lit a torch and walked to Liu Fan's side, the black font suddenly made Liu Fan's brows furrow, has the form of the imperial capital developed to this point?

"When you came, the people in the imperial capital had already started to do it?" asked Liu Fan as he resealed the information in his hand and handed it to Hei Feng.

"Back to the lord. When the humble post came out of the imperial capital, the Dongchang and Heibingtai people of Gonggong Wei had already begun to act. The soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division also controlled the various arteries of the Imperial Capital. In addition, General Bai Qi had already begun to mobilize several guards corps into the imperial capital, and Zhang Dudu's heroic army had also begun to move. Hei Feng told Liu Fan all about the situation in the imperial capital, and Liu Fan's brows tightened. The generals who followed Liu Fan were also solemn, and the expression on Liu Fan's face had clearly told them that something terrible had happened in the imperial capital.

"I know, you immediately send the information in your hand to General Han Xin who sent it to Yizhou City, and send someone to Jia Xu in Yangzhou to send information, and the dirty guards of Heibing Platform immediately mobilized to go to the imperial capital to support. Liu Fan said in a firm tone, this time a big battle in the imperial capital is inevitable, and this war obviously cannot be ended in a short time. Hei Feng responded, and immediately separated the two of them and rushed towards Yangzhou City with Liu Fan's token.

"My lord, what happened in the imperial capital?"

"Yes, Zhang Bai has the support of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants, the Liliang in his hands is far stronger than us now, Zhao Gao and the four have decided to start in advance, we must rush over to support as soon as possible. Liu Fan said to everyone with a solemn face, and the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became thicker, they never thought that the current form was already so dangerous. The mountain of the Eight Great Emperors and Merchants once again pressed on their hearts, and the crisis in Yuzhou had not yet passed, and a new crisis had already come.

"Rush to the imperial capital immediately to support, no matter what, this time we can only succeed and not fail!"

Regardless of the fatigue on their bodies, the group continued to rush towards the imperial capital, and Zhao Gao in his heart had already explained in detail what they could control, and the military strength of several guards made Liu Fan still feel that he had the strength to fight. If you can rush to the imperial capital in time and persuade those nobles to join your command, at least the imperial capital will not be chaotic, and you are confident that you can control the imperial capital. As long as the imperial capital is controlled, Yue Fei's subordinates in Yongzhou can abandon Yongzhou, go south to open the road from imperial capital to Yongzhou, bring the Yongzhou army into Sizhou, and reduce the defensive pressure of imperial capital.

In the palace, the dragoon and the garrison of the Jinwuwei, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered. They are all the most elite men and horses selected from the various armies, and it can be said that if they are mastered, they will control the entire palace, even if the assassination team of Heibingtai and Dongchang and Fanzi mutiny, they can also extinguish it. Cao Anming, who had just been promoted to the capital, was also frowning when he sat on the handsome chair at the moment, Cao Anming was ambitious, wanted to be on the throne, and wanted to be the prime minister, it can be said that he has a strong desire for power that ordinary people can't match, and it is precisely because he took refuge in Zhao Gao.

He took refuge in Zhao Gao, just because Zhao Gao was able to help him ascend to the position of the capital, and after mastering the dragoon army and Jin Wuwei after ascending to this position, he had the capital, and with the capital, he could sell at a high price. Cao Anming's side is a little eunuch, who is waiting for Cao Anming's reply with a leisurely face at the moment. Although Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian controlled the palace. But not every little eunuch is under their control. Now the little eunuch sitting opposite Cao Anming is not Zhao Gao's person. It's the people of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants, Jin Wuwei and the Dragoon Army are very important, and no one will give up this liliang.

"General Cao, you have to think about it. The strength of Zhao Gao and others is all there, and you should have heard a little about who is standing behind them. If you choose to help them, when the army of Yuzhou retreats to the imperial capital, I am afraid that General Cao's dream of promotion will come to an end. The little eunuch looked at Cao Anming with a smile, and Cao Anming was also a kind of person in his heart when he was told by the little eunuch. The most important purpose of him following Zhao Gao was to be promoted and make a fortune, but now it seems that this dream is out of reach. Cao Anming, the tens of millions of troops in Yuzhou, watched them go out that day, it was not 10 million people, but 10 million elite troops, 10 million! A whole 10 million elite army, even if it was piled up with human lives, it could completely wipe out Zhao Gao and others in the imperial capital.

"General Cao, what you want is nothing more than official positions and wealth, I don't think I need to tell you about this thing. As for the official position, General Cao, you now abandon the darkness and wait until the day when the matter is completed. What is the difficulty of paying homage to the prime minister?" The little eunuch saw that Cao Anming was already a little tempted, so he continued to say to Cao Anming bewildermently.

Cao Anming was finally moved. Cao Anming is not someone else controlled by Zhao Gao, and the reason why he defected to Zhao Gao is just an exchange of interests. Now the form is clear, there is no need for him to gamble his future and net worth for a mortal man. Cao Anming figured it out, his frowning brows finally relaxed, and he said to the little eunuch with a smile: "Please go back with confidence, I know what to do." The Dragoon Army and Jin Wuwei will definitely not work for Zhao Gao's villain, I will take the soldiers under my command as internal responses, and take out the Black Ice Platform and Dongchang in one fell swoop. ”

"Since General Cao is an understanding person, then our family will go back to restore their lives. When the deed is completed, General Cao is a first-class hero, and when the time comes, General Cao will speak more for our family. The little eunuch said to Cao Anming with a smile, and at the same time a sneer rose in his heart, it seems that this Cao Anming is really a typical wall grass, this time Zhao Gao and Wei Xian are afraid that they will be planted in Cao Anming's hands.

"Where is my father-in-law talking about this, there is no size in the next body, and I still need my father-in-law to say a few good words for him, and not to hold him accountable for the poor rescue. Cao Anming quietly stuffed a few pieces of paper into the little eunuch's hand, the little eunuch is also a knowledgeable person, his eyes only glanced at it and knew that the amount of these silver tickets should be as much as 10,000 taels, and at the moment he also moved his fingers slightly, and skillfully put the silver tickets into the cuffs.

The little eunuch's eyes had narrowed into a slit with a smile, and his face had already bloomed with a smile, of course, this flower was not a chrysanthemum. The little eunuch immediately put on an acquaintance's face and said to Cao Anming: "General Cao, we will all serve in the same camp in the future, and I will ask General Cao to help me more."

"General Cao, in fact, this time our master is not just preparing a large army, there are already hundreds of masters in ambush in this palace, if Zhao Gao really dares to make a move, his head will be hung on the city head tomorrow. The little eunuch changed his words, deliberately lowered his voice and said to Cao Anming. Cao Anming was stunned by what the little eunuch said, and when he looked at the little eunuch's eyes, he suddenly understood, and he was suddenly glad in his heart, fortunately he made a wise choice, otherwise he would have really grown up this time.

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, otherwise this time the official will really make a big mistake. Cao Anming immediately corrected his attitude, and said to the little eunuch in a low voice, and at the same time moved his finger to the little eunuch's hand, and the little eunuch smiled with satisfaction when he saw the color of the wrench in his hand.

"General, the former general Bai Qi has already taken his guards to the outside of the camp gate to see the general. Just when the little eunuch was about to say goodbye to Cao Anming, a personal guard hurriedly walked over and whispered to Cao Anming.

Cao Anming's complexion changed, and he glanced at the little eunuch, a trace of anger flashed on the little eunuch's face, and a trace of light flashed in Cao Anming's eyes, and he said to the guard: "Invite them to the school field, let everyone be on standby, as long as I wave, I will immediately chop up all of them for me!"

Now everyone knows that Bai Qi and Zhao Gao are a group of people, and Bai Qi must be in the military camp at this time to win him over. Cao Anming was worried that he had no military merits as a gift to worship the mountain, and Bai Qi happened to be sent to the door at this time. This is simply a great achievement, Cao Anming's eyes flashed with a gleam. The little eunuch also nodded with satisfaction, at least Cao Anming's attitude was very correct. Bai Qi's strength is known to everyone in the entire army, Cao Anming is not confident that he can kill Bai Qi, and he is not even a bullshit without an army.

"Father-in-law, please move to the school and see how the end will chop off the head of this dog thief and give it to his father-in-law as a merit. ”

"Then there's General Raucao. The little eunuch nodded with satisfaction, and walked in the direction of the school, and Cao Anming followed behind him, smiling with a smile on his face. (To be continued......)
