Ban Hua's speed was too fast, and both sides were scolding hotly. She shot the arrow, although not hitting the opponent's head, but also hurting the opponent's arm. Ban Hua's movements were like a switch, and the archers prepared by the Rong family's army, under the cover of the shield-holder, fired arrows in unison.
These people have followed Ban Hua to attack Qingsong County, so they cooperate very well.
The court army did not expect that Rong Jiajun was so insidious. He was clearly scolding, and he would take action if he disagreed. This seems a little different from the previous routine
"What a despicable villain," said the soldier who was hit by the arrow, clutching his wound and panting, "I have Lao Tzu here today, and they will never be allowed to enter the city!"
War is always going to be bloody, the sound of slaughter, the sound of pain, some people have been killed, and they are not tired of pain.
"Five enemies will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver, and ten enemies will be rewarded with 15 taels of silver. If you kill an enemy general, you won't be able to get an official title. Brothers, hurry up!" Du Jiu carried a belt The bloody broadsword rushed under the city gate on horseback, hitting the gate again and again with the cart. The old city gate, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally lost its ability to resist under the continuous impact and fell down.
The imperial army hiding behind the city gate came out in full force, and the men and horses on both sides scuffled together, and the whole land outside the city gate was stained red with blood.
Ban Hua also wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Rong Xia.
"As a general, don't be impulsive," Rong Xia sat on horseback, looking blankly at the royal flag on the city wall, "This war is not at the point where you have to end up."
Ban Hua drew his sword and clenched it tightly, "I understand."
"Marshal, the gate is broken!" A soldier stopped King Changqing, who was in a hurry, "Go quickly, the city gate won't be held for long."
They also did not expect that the city gate of Yongzhou would be in such a state of disrepair. What are the local officials doing? The mansions are so magnificent that they don't have the money to repair the gates
The dissatisfaction of the people in the court army now is of no avail. The only thing they can do is to protect the marshal from retreating and prevent the rebels from being caught.
General Shi has already been captured, and if the marshal is captured again, then the imperial army will really be wiped out.
The shouts of killing outside the city were loud, and King Changqing heard the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, and gritted his teeth and said to everyone around him: "Withdraw!"
Yongzhou City could not be preserved.
He never thought that Rong Xia actually had so many means, and the armor and weapons of the rebels, I am afraid that he had already started to prepare, otherwise, how could it be better than the imperial army
Rongxia is so courageous that she has ambition so early.
Although King Changqing hated in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to be brave, so he asked his subordinates to simply pack up some things, mount a steed and run away. Because they were worried that they would be overtaken by the rebels if they ran too slowly along the way, they threw away anything that was a little heavy and inconvenient to carry.
They use practical actions to explain what it means to throw away armor and discard armor.
Rong Xia stepped on a sea of blood and stepped into the gate of Yongzhou City. The bloody smell of the city and the faint mourning sound made it look like a hell on earth.
Ban Hua stood beside him, avoiding the blood all over the ground, turned his head to Du Jiu and said, "Take someone to deal with the wounded soldiers, pay attention to the court troops lying on the ground, don't be plotted against."
"Yes." Du Jiu led the order to retreat.
"Hua," Rong Xia looked back at Ban Hua and held her hand, "Just stay by my side like this, okay?"
"You don't change your mind, and I don't lose it," Ban Hua neatly adjusted her clothes, "Don't think too much, as long as you don't disappoint me, I will always be with you."
"Master, General," Zhao Zhong came over on a fast horse, "King Changqing has escaped."
"Escaped?" Ban Hua sneered, "It's only been a few hours, he left the soldiers and ran away by himself, but he is really a kind and righteous prince."
Zhao Zhong saw the hands clasped together, and said with a dry smile, "Are we going to chase?"
"No need," Rong Xia said, "temporarily repairing it in Yongzhou, and after half a month, go straight to the imperial city to kill the traitor, and go to the gang!"
"Yes!" Zhao Zhong's heart was hot, and his eyes lit up.
King Changqing fled all the way, and hid in Mingyuzhou, which was very close to the capital, before he could settle down, but now that he was defeated and fled, he had to give the court an explanation. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked his subordinates to send gold and silver jewelry to several ministers trusted by Emperor Fengning, and wrote a memorial to Emperor Fengning. The memorial was full of pleas, but every sentence implied Fengning again. Emperor Ning, it wasn't his ability to lead troops, but a traitor appeared in the barracks and leaked the military plane.
Who is this traitor
Naturally, it was the prince's uncle Shi Jin. Anyway, now that Shi Jin was captured, all the faults were borne by him, and King Changqing had no pressure in his heart.
Jiang Luo received the memorial from King Changqing, and with his close officials blowing his ears, he really put all the faults on Shi Jin. His hair was assigned as a slave, and the once-bright Shi family finally fell completely and completely.
Some people sigh, some sympathize, and with a slightly normal mind, they can guess that King Changqing lied, but His Majesty believes, what other methods do they have? In addition, when the Shi family was in power, He He Yangyang offended many people, and now no one is willing to stand up and speak for them.
When the news reached Yongzhou, Shi Jin was copying scriptures in his room.
"My father... was beheaded?" Shi Jin hoarsely sat on the stool, the ink on the tip of the pen splashed and stained the entire piece of paper, but at this time, who would care about such a piece of paper
Seeing him like this, Zhao Zhong felt a little sympathetic: "Please mourn."
Shi Jin shook his head blankly, he put down the brush, and said to Zhao Zhong, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, I want to be quiet."
"Farewell." Zhao Zhong exited the door, shook his head and sighed.
Three days later, Shi Jin put on a clean plain cotton robe, with a silver crown and hair, his complexion looked fine, but his eyes were bloodshot. He found Rong Xia and gave him a big gift: "In Xia Shi Jin, I would like to serve the marquis of Cheng An."
Rong Xia looked at the man standing in the sun, and after a while, she said, "Are you willing?"
"Will be willing."
Shi Jin smiled bitterly: "I'm alone now, I have nothing to worry about, and at least I don't have to be condemned by my conscience."
"Mr. Shi is very polite," Rong Xia replied to Shi Jin, "I will ask Mr. Shi to take care of him in the future."
"Don't dare," Shi Jin replied with a big gift, "Subordinate Shi Jin, I have seen the lord."
Ban Hua, who was wearing a water-colored skirt, was standing outside the door. Shi Jin turned his back to her at this time. She couldn't see his expression, and Shi Jin also didn't know that the woman he had a crush on was behind him.
Ban Hua stood in place for a while, and after all, did not step forward to disturb the two. She turned around and walked out of the yard in the sun.
"General." Mrs. Zhao held her two children and bowed after seeing her, then smiled, "The weather is fine today, why don't the county master take a walk in the city."
Ban Hua reached out and touched the tops of the two children's heads, and smiled at Mrs. Zhao: "Go, you two little monkeys are also bored."
Before, I was worried that there were spies from the imperial army in the city, so the family members of the soldiers were not allowed to go out. Now that the city has been checked again and again, and even some people have started to set up stalls to live, Ban Hua is relieved that the two children go out.
"It's a little boring," Zhao Dalang nodded, "but I can bear it."
"You know how to endure it at such a young age," Ban Hua baldly grunted the braids on his head, "It's up to your father."
Zhao Dalang rubbed his forehead and smirked, his brother broke free from Mrs. Zhao's hand, leaned in front of Ban Hua, and took out an ugly candy from his arms, "County Lord, this is what I left for you."
"Thank you Erlang." Ban Hua took the candy, and did not dislike whether the things the child took out were clean, and threw them into his mouth and ate them.
Bringing the guards, the group walked out of the temporary mansion, and Ban Hua bought a lot of gadgets for the two children with money. Some stall owners dared not take her money, and she didn't say much, just threw the money away and left, like a mobile money bag.
Walking to the base of a wall, a child less than ten years old was crying, his face was dirty, and his clothes were torn. Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear it, and wanted to help the child, but was stopped by Ban Hua.
"Mrs. Zhao," Ban Hua looked at the child who was crying more and more sad, with a cold expression on his face, "in times of trouble, children are sometimes not necessarily children, you better be careful."
Mrs. Zhao's Wenyan trembled in her heart. She looked at the poor child carefully, but couldn't see anything wrong with him.
"Didn't you realize that those slapstick kids just now will unconsciously lower their voices when they see us," Ban Hua raised her chin, "such children without the protection of their parents should have been cautious. right."
Mrs. Zhao suddenly understood, thinking about her behavior just now, she gasped, if there is something wrong with this child, she...
Ban Hua gestured to the guard: "Take this child to Ertang, and let people pay attention to it, but don't embarrass him."
"Yes."
Mrs. Zhao looked at such a dazzling Fule County Lord, and she was very impressed. She was indeed the County Lord who was admired by all the children in the army. She acted cautiously and with reason, and she was much more knowledgeable than a back house woman like her.
For some reason, Mrs. Zhao felt a bit of envy in her heart.
It must be very interesting that my daughter's family lives like this.
The child who was sent to the nursery school was identified within a few days. He is really a trained little killer. He has not been in the organization for a long time. of. Due to the recent seriousness of the situation, these younger killers have also been sent on missions.
This little killer joined the killer organization in order to beg for a bowl of rice. This was his first shot, and he failed.
When he saw that the food in the nursery hall was no worse than that of the killer organization, he was caught again, and he simply told everything he knew. He hasn't been brainwashed by the killer organization, and his pragmatic personality prevails. When he sells the organization, he sells it without pressure.
Only then did Ban Hua know that it turned out that this killer organization was the one that assassinated Rong Xia in the first place, and it was precisely because of the serious loss that they sent all the children out.
After asking about their old nest, Ban Hua decided that after returning to the capital, the killer organization would be dismantled.
Three days later, the army set out, and the Rong family's army was invincible all the way, and no one could resist. In less than three months, they reached the state closest to the capital, Yujingzhou.
Yujingzhou is a prosperous place. There was an expert who bluntly said that with Yujingzhou in the capital, the dragon energy will be more prosperous. For the imperial court, Yujingzhou was their last line of defense.
Hearing that Rong Xia had hit Yujing Prefecture, Jiang Luo couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and once interrupted abandoning the capital to escape, but after learning that the escape route was also outflanked by Rong Xia, he died of this thought.
Now Yujingzhou and the capital are like fat meat surrounded by a circle, they can't jump out, they can only wait for the day they are eaten by others. Unless this piece of fat becomes a hungry wolf and rises up to resist.
Compared with the panicked aristocrats and royal families, the people of the capital seem to be much calmer. They have long heard that the Marquis of Cheng'an traveled all the way like a divine help, and in just one year, he occupied most of the territory of Daye. Some prefectures and counties even warmly welcomed him. arrival. After the army of the Marquis of Cheng'an entered the city, it neither disturbed the people nor robbed them, which was much more kind than the imperial army.
It is no wonder that the gods have to perform miracles to remind the people that there will be a master Ming to replace the king, the master of the Ming is the Marquis of Chengan, and the king is the one sitting on the dragon chair now.
After the family closed the door, they couldn't help but secretly ask each other, "Did the Marquis of Chengan call in today?"
"not yet."
"It's been a few days, has the Marquis of Cheng An called in?"
"not yet."
When will Chenganhou be able to call in? These commoners have to deal with this kind of brain disease emperor every day, which is also very tiring.
"I can't walk, I can't fight, what do you think I should do?" Jiang Luo smashed the teacup in his hand and scolded the minister standing below, "Is it true that I have to give way to him?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you send a minister who has friendship with the Marquis of Cheng'an to surrender, and give him a prince or something like that, which can be regarded as a step down for him," a minister who usually has a face in front of Jiang Luo said, "Our court Sincerity has been made clear, if the Marquis of Cheng An is no longer knowledgeable, then he will have bad intentions."
"You're right, just do as you said, but who is the right person to send?" Jiang Luo didn't know who Rong Xia was friends with. In his impression, when his father was in charge of the dynasty, Rong Xia seemed to be with Rong Xia. Every courtier has a good relationship.
"Why not..." The minister rolled his eyes, "Let Yao Peiji go?"
"Okay, just send him there."
After Yao Peiji received this imperial decree, he was teasing his grandson at home. The eunuch who announced the decree was arrogant, took the purse from Yao Peiji, turned around and left without giving any face.
"There is nothing to be proud of, his master is going to be the king of the subjugated country," Yao Ling scolded, "A nest of snakes and mice is not a good thing."
Yao Peiji threw the imperial edict aside, stroked his beard and said, "The imperial court is too naive."
Rong Xia was already victorious now, so how could he care about the position of the prince. As for the so-called fear of people, it is even more ridiculous. In this world, only the losers care about the fear of people. The real history is written by the victors.
"Father, what should we do now?" Yao Ling held her face with a desolate expression, "I don't know what happened to the Fule County Master, and I have to go to the battlefield to touch bloody things. people are worried."
Yao Peiji looked at his young daughter in confusion: "When did you have such a good relationship with Princess Fule?"
In the past half a year, his daughter has asked him about Princess Fule from time to time. He didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now there is something wrong. His daughter seems to be wrong
"Father, you don't understand, beauty is a treasure bestowed upon us by God," Yao Ling shook her head. "Beauty is easy to find, but true beauty is hard to find."
"It's actually nonsense," Yao Peiji said. "I think you're not too young. When the capital settles down, I'll arrange a marriage for you."
"I think the younger brother of Princess Fule is not bad," Yao Ling held her face, "it looks cute when he smiles."
"Ban Heng?" Yao Peiji's eyes widened, "That scoundrel from the Ban family?"
"He's not an ordinary dude, he's a different dude," Yao Ling said seriously, "It's good to marry him."
Yao Peiji held it back for a long time before he said, "If you want to marry someone, you have to be willing to marry you."
Yao Peiji, who choked his daughter to the point of speechlessness, took a few entourages with him early the next morning and went out of Beijing to Yujing Prefecture.
Jade State.
Ban Hua was teaching the soldiers how to shoot, and when he heard the envoys coming from the capital, he threw the silver gun in his hand to one of the soldiers, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Who is coming?"
"Yao Peiji." Du Jiu replied.
"He?" Ban Hua raised her eyebrows and walked quickly to the main tent, just in time to see boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried into the main tent. Several eunuchs guarding outside did not even dare to lift their heads when they saw her. .
These were all eunuchs sent by the palace to monitor Yao Peiji.
When he opened the tent, he heard a shrill roar from a eunuch.
"Marquis of Cheng An, do you want to treason?"
She stepped forward and kicked the screaming eunuch to the ground. After staying in the barracks for a while, she acted less and less politely.
The envoy lay on the ground, and he still didn't react. After a while, he scolded: "Who is it, who dares to kick the miscellaneous family?"
Ban Hua stepped on the eunuch's back and sneered: "It's just a dog next to Jiang Luo, and he dares to bark here. This is the main tent of the Rong family army, not Jiang Luo's palace, you Better keep your mouth shut or I'll have someone drag you out and cut your tongue."
"Fu Le County Master, you, you dare!" The eunuch with some face in the palace, no one does not know Ban Hua, although he is lying on the ground and can't see Ban Hua's face, but as long as he hears the sound, he knows that he is kicking himself. who is the person.
"You can give it a try," Ban Hua sneered and let go of the eunuch's foot, "Come on, give me a voice."
The eunuch's face was red and white, white and blue, but he really didn't dare to yell again.
"Wouldn't it be better to shut up early?" Ban Hua walked over to Rong Xia and sat down. The two sat on a long and wide chair together, and there was no distinction.
Seeing that her forehead and nose were still sweaty, Rong Xia wiped her with a handkerchief: "Why bother with this kind of thing, be careful not to get your feet dirty."
"Do I still endure the ignorant dog thing," Ban Hua drank half a cup of tea, "You talk, I'll just sit down and don't disturb you."
Yao Peiji, who was sitting on the side, started kicking the eunuch from Ban Hua, and he looked like the old god was not seeing anything. After hearing what Ban Hua said, he got up and cupped his hands to Rong Xia: "Marquis of Cheng An, old man. It's polite."
"Master Yao doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Rong Xia did not ask Yao Peiji's intention. After the two of them talked for a long time, Yao Peiji couldn't hold it anymore and explained the intention.
"Prince title?" Rong Xia raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face, "I don't know what title it is?"
"Zhongming."
"A piece of loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon?" Rong Xia took a sip of the tea that Ban Hua had just drank, and slowly shook his head, "This title is not good."
"What kind of title the Marquis likes, the court will definitely satisfy you."
"Noble title is not important, I just want to see His Majesty and Prince," Rong Xia put down the teacup, "If I don't see His Majesty and Prince, Wei Chen will not be able to sleep or eat well."
Rong Xia took a bite of his majesty, and he was definitely not referring to Emperor Fengning, but Emperor Yunqing, who had not been seen for a long time.
Yao Peiji just pretended not to understand, and kept drinking tea with his head down.
"Marquis, Your Majesty is the heir to the Emperor Taishang, what do you mean by that?" The eunuch, who had been quiet for a long time just now, couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty is the child of the Emperor Taishang, do you still..."
"Bang!" A teacup exploded at his feet.
Rong Xia lowered her face and said, "I'm talking to Master Yao, how can you, a lowly person, intervene?"
"Come on!"
Several soldiers in iron armor walked in with a sullen look on their faces.
"Drag this eunuch down and cut his tongue," Rong Xia said blankly, "It sounds annoying."
The soldier ignored the eunuch's struggle, covered his mouth and dragged him down. No one of the other eunuchs who came along with them dared to speak. Now they are completely awake. This is not the Daye Palace, and they are not the royal red people who even courtiers want to please, and no one will give them face.
The Marquis of Chengan raised his hands without warning, how could they dare to offend
Seeing the talkative eunuch being dragged out, Yao Peiji didn't feel offended, but got up and apologized to Rongxia.
"Master Yao don't have to take it to heart, what do other people's faults have to do with you," Rong Xia said, "Please tell Master Yao to go back and tell King Ning that Rong doesn't care about the title and just wants King Ning to bring His Majesty and the Crown Prince out. Prove their safety."
Yao Peiji did not insist, and immediately responded: "The next official will definitely convey the meaning of the Hou Ye."
Yao Peiji hadn't returned to the capital yet. The news that Rong Xia would rather not be a prince and make sure that His Majesty and the Crown Prince were safe had spread throughout several prefectures and counties, and even people in the capital knew about it.
Some people praised Rongxia for not bowing down to power, and some people praised Rongxia's loyalty, which further confirmed that Jiang Luo's path to the throne was not right.
"Has he made a name for himself after rebelling?" Jiang Luo heard these rumors, and he almost became angry. "Go and tell Jing Zhaoyi that if anyone in the capital speaks nonsense, he will be sent to prison."
"Your Majesty, this is not acceptable," said a traitor with some brains. "If we do this, in the eyes of the common people, it will only turn us into a guilty conscience."
Jiang Luo suddenly lowered his face, "If the Emperor Taishang passed away, naturally no one would be clamoring to see him."
Several other people frowned. Now that His Majesty has the throne in his hands, the Supreme Emperor has also been placed under house arrest. Killing his father is not a good reputation.
They dared not speak out, and had to express their attitude in silence.
Jiang Luo annoyed them most without saying a word, and after scolding a few words, he let them back off.
He thought about it for a long time in the hall, recalled the actions of Emperor Yunqing who favored the prince, and finally made up his mind. He summoned Wang De, the eunuch beside Emperor Yunqing, and handed a packet of medicine into Wang De's hands.
"Royal father hasn't slept well recently, and he has frequent heart palpitations, right?" Jiang Luo looked at Wang De with a gloomy expression.
Wang De knelt on the ground and did not speak.
Jiang Luo suddenly became angry, and getting up was like kicking him. At this time, a eunuch rolled in and ran in.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"Rong Xia has come to the capital!"
The author has something to say: Lobster: I generally don't lose my temper, and losing my temper kills me.
