Chapter 0229: Decisive Cai Jing
The soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion are one of the most elite units in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, all of them are carefully selected military masters, although the establishment belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the palace front division Gao Yu, but the leading generals have always been appointed by the emperor himself, if not confidants, it is difficult to get the command, and the main responsibility is to protect the capital.
Although the number of people who came to rescue this time was not much, the overall combat power was very strong, and the person who led the troops was Liu Qi, so naturally it should not be underestimated, Zhao Bufan broke off with them, and Yang Bangyi and Lu Deng and many other fierce generals took Feifengwei to open the way in front, and they were really overwhelming, and quickly broke out of the blockade circle of the forbidden army.
When everyone left behind those rebellious forbidden officers and soldiers from afar, Zhao Bufan rode his horse and galloped while asking Liu Qi, who was not far away.
"Why did the situation turn out like this?"
Liu Qi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, some time ago, a secret report came from Hangzhou, exposing more than 130 serious crimes of Tong Guan, and the saint was furious, and secretly ordered Liu Yanqing to rush to the western Xinjiang, carry the holy decree and Tong Guan's criminal evidence to stabilize the officers and soldiers of the Western Army, and strive to get the command of the Western Army as soon as possible, and then publicly arrest Tong Guan, I didn't want the news to leak, Tong Guan led his henchmen out of the capital overnight, injured Zhu Xiaosun in the capital, and instigated his henchmen to launch a mutiny!"
"What about Gao Yu?" Zhao Bufan asked.
"Gao Taiwei was held hostage by Tong Guan and went out of the city, Tong Guan also held the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops, and the 100,000 elite soldiers stationed around the capital in front of the palace were almost impossible to mobilize, and they couldn't tell which side of the order was issued by the saint, so they all stood still!"
"What about your father?"
"My father has already led 100,000 troops to conquer Wang Qing, thousands of miles away, and I still don't know about the capital, if not, Tong Guan can't launch a mutiny so easily, at present, Tong Guan has instigated as many as 60,000 rebels, except for 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege and kill you everywhere, the rest of the troops are all fighting outside Tokyo!"
From Liu Qi's mouth, Zhao Bufan affirmed his guess.
The current situation is really critical, Liu Zhongwu went out to transfer 100,000, Gao Yu's 100,000 elite soldiers were scattered around the periphery, and the rest of the soldiers and horses almost followed Tong Guan to rebel, so the capital is only left with the guards on duty in the palace Ban Zhi and Zhu Xiaosun's inspection division soldiers and horses, at most counting the messengers and catchers of Kaifeng Mansion, it is impossible for people to hold Tokyo City, Tokyo City is too big, more than a dozen city gates, it is impossible to hold it.
After a quick weighing, Zhao Bufan's face became more and more serious.
"Liu Qi, since Kaifeng is already so critical, how can you divide your troops to come out to save me? Where are the soldiers and horses to stop Tong Guan?"
Liu Qi quickly replied: "My lord, Tong Guan originally agitated 80,000 soldiers and horses, but 20,000 soldiers and horses defected on the way to Tokyo City, and quickly formed a tug of war with Tong Guan, the commanders of these soldiers and horses seem to be the people installed by Cai Xiang, and they have not been known, Cai Xiang secretly contacted them this time, so as to keep the capital, and Cai Xiang also decisively used Li Gang and Zong Ze, who had just been transferred back to Beijing, and commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses to resist Tong Guan outside the city.
These two adults are fighting very well in the army, these days seven battles in a row, with 20,000 against 50,000, set up a battle to kill, but they are all victorious, that Tong Guan was completely beaten out of temper, and due to the setback of the rebel offensive, the military spirit is floating, every day there are soldiers who defect back again, the current situation has improved significantly, and from the mouth of some of the rebels who surrendered, the two adults learned that Lord Zhao was besieged in Chenliu, and immediately ordered me to lead people to rescue, and also notified Kaifeng Mansion. ”
This surprised Zhao Bufan, he never thought that Cai Jing still had such a hand, he really deserved to be an old fox who had been mixed up for decades, Tong Guan probably never dreamed that there were Cai Jing's people among his cronies, and Cai Jing was also decisive, and he dared to directly use Zong Ze and Li Gang, who had just been recalled to the capital, such a strain ability, there is no one in the court today!
After that, he didn't ask any more, since Zong Ze and Li Gang had already led troops to block Tong Guan, there was no danger in the capital for the time being, and he was not so anxious.
A day later, he rushed to the outside of Kaifeng City, Tokyo, and saw a temporary military village at the intersection from a distance, and he didn't know how many people were stationed, and outside the gate was standing quietly a beautiful figure, wearing a turquoise slim armor, holding a spear, heroic posture, it was Zhu Lian.
At this time, Zhu Lian also saw him, and his beautiful face instantly bloomed with a surprised smile, and he rushed over regardless of it.
"Extraordinary !!"
Zhao Bufan got off the horse with a smile and walked towards Zhu Lian, but she hit her headlong into her arms, and the wound instantly collapsed, and the blood flowed.
"You ......"
Zhu Lian raised his head in shock, took two steps back and took a closer look, his eyes instantly turned red.
"Why are you so badly injured?"
"It's okay, traumatized, can't die!!"
Zhao Bufan smiled disapprovingly: "How is the war outside the city?"
Zhu Lian looked at his wound distressedly, shook his head and said: "I don't know how the fight is going over there, because I don't worry about others, after we led the troops to seize this intersection, I have been personally leading the troops to guard here, worried that Hu Xiaomei and they will not be able to return to the capital after they save you." ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Bufan nodded, looked at the surrounding terrain, shook his head, and said: "This place is not suitable for long-term stationing, inform the soldiers to withdraw to the capital with me!"
"Okay! I'll go!"
Zhu Lian responded and hurried away.
In a short time, more than 1,000 soldiers in this temporary military fortress were assembled, and everyone set off quickly, and walked for about half an hour before coming to the outside of Tokyo, at this time the west and south of the city were already a scorched earth, and they were already full of devastation in the war.
Earlier, these places were scattered people, not to mention prosperous, but also very lively, with many fruit trees and crops planted, and a large flow of people, but now they have become an endless wilderness, full of corpses and scattered flags, and some places have been pitted by artillery, and it is unspeakably miserable.
"Let's go straight to the barracks!"
Zhao Bufan gave an order, and took the lead in riding his horse towards the imperial court camp in the distance, and everyone didn't say much, and followed closely behind him.
Walking outside the gate, after the sentry riders who were wandering outside confirmed their identities, they quickly led them into the camp, and Zong Ze, who was the commander, also hurriedly greeted him, seeing that he was injured, he was not in a hurry to say more, and quickly took him to the big tent of the Chinese army and called a medical officer to bandage the wounds.
Taking advantage of the bandage, Zhao Bufan carefully measured Zong Ze, who was over sixty years old.
His beard is already a little gray, but he does not look old at all, he is very neatly groomed, although his face is wrinkled, his complexion is ruddy, and his spirit is really not comparable to ordinary people, and his eyes are even more indescribably sharp, the whole person is not angry and arrogant, and he can't see that he is a person who has suffered a lot of twists and turns, but he is slightly unruly.
"Master Zong, I have heard of your name for a long time, and it is really worthy of my reputation when I see it today!"
Zong Ze was actually secretly looking at him, and when he heard his words, he smiled and arched his hand: "My lord has praised it, and I have to thank Lord Zhao for saving me, if it weren't for Lord Zhao's preservation, I'm afraid I would still be doing hard labor!"
"You are a person with real skills, you shouldn't bury it, you should!"
Zhao Bufan replied with a smile, and then asked, "How is the war? What about Li Gang?"
"Lord Li commanded a vicious battle last night, and now he is still resting, he has not been called, and the war is going well, Tong Guan has been defeated in recent days, and the confidence and will of the soldiers under his command have been dealt a major blow, I am afraid it will not last long, adults do not need to worry. ”
Zhao Bufan nodded: "What is the situation in the DPRK? Do you know the movements of the Western Army?"
Zong Ze smiled faintly: "This time the saint is angry, after we block Tong Guan, the saint has immediately arrested those Tong Guan henchmen who failed to run out of the capital, just wait to defeat Tong Guan's soldiers and horses, they will be punished together, and the officials who were good friends with Tong Guan in the past have also been somewhat implicated, and the Western Army is also relatively smooth, General Liu Yanqing is very prestigious in the Western Army, and with the Holy Decree and Tong Guan's incriminating evidence, he naturally suppressed the various departments of the Western Army."
It is said that General Liu Yanqing dealt with it in a timely manner, taking advantage of their failure to organize, forcing most of the soldiers to choose to surrender, and a small number of stubborn people were also broken and corrected on the spot, so Tong Guan should not be able to make waves again!"
"That's good!"
Zhao Bufan responded, didn't say more, quietly waited for the medical officer to bandage, and when the other party finished it, he asked Zong Ze to take him to inspect the military camp, not that he was not at ease, but he also wanted to see what methods Zong Ze and Li Gang had.
The result did not disappoint him, the layout of the entire military camp was clearly layered, the formation was properly configured, and there were very few flaws, which really made him learn a lot, when he found that he was really useless here, he left the barracks after eating something, and returned to Tokyo with Zhu Lian and Hu Sanniang and others.
After that, Zhao Bufan was not in a hurry to face the saint, but cultivated in the mansion with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the news of Tong Guan's defeat.
Six days later, Li Gang and Zong Ze broke the demoralized rebels outside the city, and Tong Guan fought his way out of the siege and disappeared.
When the news came, Zhao Bufan didn't care about his injuries, and immediately chased out of the city with Zhu Lian, Zheyuezhi and Hu Sanniang, and at this time the army was also chasing Tong Guan everywhere, but no matter how he looked for it, there was really no trace of Tong Guan.
After nightfall, Zhao Bufan had no choice but to return to the mansion for the time being.
The hateful Zhi Yuezhi was very angry, and when she entered the house, she cursed to herself: "Where did this dog thief Tong Guan run?
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but comfort and said: "Sister, don't worry, there are masters in the army chasing and intercepting everywhere right now, Tong Guan can't run away, sooner or later he will appear, if they have news, they will definitely notify us first!"
"Can I not be in a hurry? If he runs away, I don't know when he will be caught, you don't know how badly Tong Guan has hurt us, and you don't know how many people Tong Guan has harmed...... Forget it, don't talk about it!" Orizuki sat down in a chair sullenly, her eyes full of anger that could not be dissolved.
Zhao Bufan's face was also cloudy, and he was bored for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and walked out of the door.
"You guys have a good meal and rest, I still have to find Cai Jing, he knows Tong Guan better, it's far faster than looking for it blindly!"
I heard that I went to Cai Jing's mansion, and all the women stopped talking, so they naturally didn't want to follow.
At this time, it was completely dark, Zhao Bufan didn't say hello to Fei Fengwei, and quietly left through the back door, in order to hurry, he was wearing a small alley, and when he walked on a remote stone arch bridge on the Bianhe River, he walked and walked, but suddenly saw hundreds of people in front of him walking around an official sedan chair.
After a little inspection, he recognized that it was Cai Jing's official sedan chair.
I don't know if Cai Jing saw him through the crack in the window, suddenly lifted the curtain, and shouted anxiously: "Why do you dare to leave home alone?"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Bufan was stunned.
"Oops!" Cai Jing was so anxious that he didn't wait for the official sedan chair to stop, he already shouted loudly: "I heard that Tong Guan ran away?"
Zhao Bufan nodded: "I was talking about coming to visit Eun Xiang, and I was going to ask Eun Xiang if he knew where he would go?"
"Where else can he go? Tong Guan has revenge, now tens of thousands of people are searching for him everywhere, even the palace masters have sent out a lot, and the local government will also chase and intercept him, he can't run away at all, what he wants to do most at the moment is to ask for your life, I was saying that bring some masters to help you, you are good, you dare to run out alone, can you add guards at home?
"How could he have entered the city?" Zhao Bufan was stunned.
The aging Cai Jing was so anxious that his wrinkles doubled.
"How many years has Tong Guan been in the capital? He even knows where there is a dog hole in the city wall, and he also knows very well which river has a hole in the water gate, if he enters the city in disguise, it is far easier than escaping tens of thousands of people outside, I know him too well, he must go to your house! Hurry, hurry, go back quickly! Tell the people in your house not to eat indiscriminately, Tong Guan has a lot of minions in the capital, and he likes to use poison in private, and now the fish are dead and the net is broken, he cares so much about you?"
"Oh no!!" Zhao Bufan was so anxious that he didn't care to tell Cai Jingduo, so he turned around and ran away.
Cai Jing watched him run away, and said decisively: "Yun Zhen, quickly take Mitaka to help him, don't let Zhao Bufan have an accident!"
"What about Eun Xiang's safety? Tong Guan Ke also wants to kill Eun Xiang!" Yun Zhen, who was standing next to the official sedan chair, replied unhurriedly, obviously not very willing.
"It's okay, Da Ying and Er Ying are here, there are so many masters, he can't kill me!" Cai Jing waved his hand lightly.
Yun Zhen still didn't move, and said calmly: "Enxiang, my subordinates really don't understand, why do you want to help Zhao Bufan, isn't it better for this person to die, he will also be Enxiang's enemy sooner or later, it's too dangerous to keep him, it's better to let Tong Guan fight with him!"
"Eh!" Cai Jing sighed, opened the curtain of the official sedan chair wider, looked at the old servant who had followed him for many years, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Yun Zhen, don't think too much about some things, I have my own reasons, you can do it with peace of mind, I know you don't like this person, but don't offend him, it's good for you, help him once today, and you can get a good death in the future!"
Yun Zhen's lips moved, and he didn't refute after all: "The old slave understands!"
