At the connection between Xianzhong Temple and the Royal Palace, the city gate here has long been closed, and Hua Rong is leading a group of guards to fight with the rebels who came to kidnap him.
Hua Rong was already exhausted, but when he saw another group of rebels rushing in, he was shocked. How could he still survive when he encountered this group of desperate fleeing troops
She felt a chill in her heart and shouted to retreat. However, there were only about ten people left on her side, and she was unable to break out of the encirclement.
In the melee, a child's cry was suddenly heard, faintly, and in the darkness, a person could be heard shouting: "Mrs. Yue, do you still want your son's life?"
In the darkness, it was impossible to see who the child was. Hua Rong was surprised. How could his son be caught when he was clearly in the palace? The man was heard shouting: "We bribed a young eunuch to steal your son out..."
Sure enough, it was the voice of two young eunuchs. They were lured and threatened in every possible way. They wanted to take away the young emperor, but the young emperor had been preparing for the meeting of the "ministers" in the court, so he couldn't do it, so he took advantage of the chaos. Lu Wenlong sneaked out.
In the darkness, the child was frightened and cried loudly, shouting repeatedly: "Mom, mom..."
It was my son's voice.
Hua Rong knew clearly that if he didn't leave at this time, he would be dead. However, after all, mother and son had a deep love for each other. He only heard the sound of "div" and the child had been picked up on the spear: "If you don't put down your weapon, I will kill your son immediately..."
As soon as she hesitated, random arrows were fired. She had no time to worry, brandished her small bow and rushed towards the direction where the child was crying. The car hissed, and the child was thrown up. He saw that he fell to the ground. If he didn't fall to death, he would be trampled by the random horses. He died. Without thinking too much, she stretched out her hand to catch her son. At this time, several large knives were already pressed against her vest. She turned over and fell off her horse to hug her child. She was surrounded by swords and guns and could no longer escape.
She held the child in her arms. The child was almost scared to death. Only then did he open his dark eyes. In front of the approaching torch, he cried loudly: "Mom, mom..."
"Son, mother is with you, don't cry..."
A knife came at her. She turned to one side and lowered her head to protect her son. She had already been stabbed on the shoulder and was bleeding profusely, so she didn't care. She just held her son in her arms and said repeatedly: "Son, don't be afraid..."
The leader laughed ferociously: "Mrs. Yue, follow us obediently."
She held the child in her arms and couldn't fight back at all, so she had to walk forward.
Yue Pengju hurried back and met more than a thousand elite soldiers led by Zhang Xian on the way. Zhang Xian came from Xiangyang. In order to avoid being noticed, he only led 100 specially trained elite cavalry. After dozens of large and small battles, Yue Pengju already regards Zhang Xian as his most capable general.
Yue Pengju planted antlers all over the nearby rivers to intercept the Miao and Liu people to prevent them from escaping through the waterway. He also sent 200 people to protect the 1,000 family members who accompanied the army. Because after the army was raised, the soldiers were afraid that their family members would be killed in Lin'an, so the army The number of family members suddenly increased a lot.
After arranging everything, Yue Pengju immediately ordered Zhang Xian to lead a vanguard attack of 200 people.
Miao Fu had already sent 10,000 troops to guard and intercept the small town of Lin'an. The general leading the army was Zhang Kui, his number one strategist. On this day, there was ice and snow, and the front of the rebel formation was muddy. Zhang Xian led the army, but his horses stopped moving forward. The rebels rained down arrows, and no one could dodge. Even Zhang Xian himself was almost thrown off his horse.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue Pengju immediately waved his spear and shouted: "Success or failure depends on one move. We all work together to do our best for the country. Who dares to have the dignity to engage in military law without a few arrow wounds on his body..."
After he shouted, he took the lead, regardless of the mud, brandished his spear and rushed into the enemy's formation, killing several people in a row. Everyone was refreshed when they saw the commander charging. Yue Peng knew that he would capture the thief and the king today, so he decided to fight quickly, and the horse stopped moving. He simply jumped off his horse, like a roc, brandishing his spear, and took the leader Zhang Kui first. Zhang Kui saw the ferocity of his approach and did not dare to confront him. He slapped his horse and retreated. The rebel formation was suddenly in chaos. The soldiers swarmed forward, and the two armies entered a state of melee, making it difficult to separate.
At this time, the Chinese Army Han Zhongliang's troops had also led his troops into the enemy camp. Zhang Kui had great commanding skills and quickly dispatched troops to intercept them.
Zhang Jun led the largest number of men and horses this time. For him, soldiers and horses were his greatest wealth, and he did not dare to fight with all his strength. Seeing that Yue Pengju and Han Zhongliang were leading the charge, he himself was not good at martial arts, so he only sat on the horse. , feinted a shot, jumped off the horse, and was helped onto the horse by his own soldiers.
Lu Yihao personally supervised the battle in the army, but seeing that the battle was in chaos and he was outnumbered, he rode into the mud on the high hill to observe for a while, but saw that Zhang Jun's troops were afraid of fighting. He was angry, so he galloped into Zhang Jun's army. Zhang Jun was just right. The ground hung up its arms and said, "I am injured and cannot fight."
Lu Yihao pressed the sword gifted by Zhao Deji on his waist, pulled it out, and shouted: "Zhang Qi, the time has come for you to fight to the death for your country, otherwise, military law will..."
Zhang Jun is a mediocre general who never dares to confront the enemy and always retreats. However, when Lu Yihao draws his sword and the words "engage in military law" are actually equivalent to "beheading", he does not dare to persist in the enemy and support the invaders, so he has to force They attacked from a pincer position and ordered the deployment to attack.
In this way, the two armies of Han Zhongliang and Zhang Jun attacked from the left and right. The pressure on Yue Pengju's forwards was suddenly reduced, and the situation of the battle quickly changed. The rebels were defeated, and Yue Pengju took the opportunity to shout: "The rebellion of Miao and Liu will only be held accountable for the culprits, and it has nothing to do with you and others. Now, Prime Minister Lu Shu Sent 100,000 troops to surround Lin'an City. Miao and Liu have reached the end of their rope. Your Majesty knows that you and others have also been deceived. You should quickly put down your weapons and work together for the country. Not only will the emperor not pursue the case, he will also reward you... "
He was so angry that his voice carried far in the rainy and snowy night. The Miao and Liu rebels were already very uneasy, so they all surrendered and sat on the muddy ground with their hands raised above their heads. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Kui led Dozens of pro-soldiers fled to Lin'an. On the way, they met the reinforcements sent by Liu Zhengyan. They heard that Yue Pengju had already caught up with them, but they did not dare to fight, so they fled to Lin'an City together.
Yue Pengju did not dare to relax at all, and Han Zhongliang and Zhang Jun also caught up with him.
At this time, Miao and Liu had already rushed outside the palace gate in person. When they learned that Yue Pengju was the vanguard chasing after him, they were very angry: "We must kill Yue Pengju's son to vent their hatred."
Liu Zhengyan said: "His son is in the palace. What should we do?"
"Tell the eunuch to hand him over and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Adviser Ma Rouji immediately said: "We can't take care of Yue Pengju's family at this time. As a villain, it is better to retreat to Fujian and avoid Yue Pengju's elite. Fujian has rugged mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Before that, we need to ask officials to sit in the army. …”
Fu Miao was overjoyed: "Great plan. If the officials are in the army, Lu Yihao and others will not dare to do anything nonsense."
At this time, the rain and snow were getting thicker and thicker. Everyone was wearing oil-paper raincoats. Ma Su, Feng Yi and Wu Zhan had also arrived at the city wall. Miao Fu rode on his horse and shouted: "Now that Yue Pengju has rebelled, I respectfully invite the Supreme Lord and The young master joins the army for safety."
Wu Zhan was supervised by Feng Yi, and he was determined to fight back. He only said: "The Holy Body of the Supreme Being is against the law, so I must lie down and recuperate."
Miao Fu was anxious: "Your Majesty won't come out, so we have no choice but to go in and welcome him."
Ma Su immediately said: "The two lieutenants are the generals of the country and cannot act recklessly. Now that Prime Minister Zhai has been ordered to go to Yue Pengju's army to stop him from sending troops, if you two act randomly, won't you give Yue Pengju an excuse? Why don't you surrender immediately and take the iron? The elixir certificates have been distributed, so why not worry about being prosperous and wealthy?"
In fact, Zhai Ruwen was waiting in the harem at this moment and never left.
Seeing that Wu Zhan was talking about something but not opening the door, Master Miao said loudly: "Wu Taiwei, if you opened the door last time, if you open it again this time, you will be your parents again."
Wu Zhan thought that his affair with them was very secret, but now he was openly exposed. His face turned purple and he said loudly: "Last time it was to kill the eunuchs. This time, the door will never be opened... "
"Wu Taiwei, you let us enter the city last time. Even if you attack us this time, it will inevitably lead to death. It is better to open the door and welcome the Holy Emperor to the army with your family. That is the best way..."
Feng Yi saw that Wu Zhan's expression was getting worse and worse, so he immediately whispered: "Wu Erqi, if you make a meritorious service today, I will ensure that you will be rich and noble for the rest of your life."
Wu Zhan immediately said to the rebels below the city: "Two lieutenants, the city gate cannot be opened today. Now that Prime Minister Lu's army is approaching, you might as well take the thirty-sixth strategy and take the best option."
At this point, Miao Fu was at the end of his rope and had no choice but to retreat. However, when he heard that Yue Pengju's forwards had pushed into Lin'an, he could only leave the city in panic and evacuate towards Fujian.
Before leaving, they set fires everywhere in the city. However, it was raining, snowing, and very muddy that day, and the flames could not burn on a large scale. As a last resort, they had to retreat immediately.
Yue Pengju led his army into two parts, entering from the north gate and the west gate. The north gate encountered no resistance. At the west gate, they encountered Miao Fu's rebels who had no time to evacuate. The two sides fought for a while, but Miao Fu had no intention of fighting, so he quickly retreated.
Yue Pengju was very happy. He marched his troops into the Ximen City and shouted loudly to the city: "Your Majesty Yue Pengju has led his men to eliminate the rebels in the city. Please answer the people on the city."
It was Zhai Ruwen who was ordered to come out for inspection in the city. Hearing that it was Yue Pengju, he was overjoyed: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yue. I am Zhai Ruwen."
When Yue Pengju heard that it was Zhai Ruwen, he was very happy. He got off his horse and bowed hurriedly: "Master Zhai and the two thieves are dealing with each other. It is extremely difficult. Please accept my bow."
At this time, more than a dozen lanterns had been set up on the city. Zhai Ruwen, wearing a Youjuan raincoat and hat, returned the gift on the city: "Master Yue and Prime Minister Lu have made great achievements this time."
Yue Pengju asked: "Is the Holy Master in good health?"
Zhai Ruwen said: "The Holy Master is in peace inside the palace. When I wait for the next official to come, I will immediately inform the emperor and summon the officers and men who have made meritorious service. Mr. Yue will wait a moment."
At this time, Zhao Deji was dressed in military uniform and sword, waiting anxiously in the back hall. Because a spy incident had occurred, Xu Caizhi and Kang Gonggong together stopped all the guards and eunuchs in front of the hall into two rows, lined up neatly in front of the hall, and talked to each other. Surveillance, no room for error, everyone is waiting, and it is best to be prepared for any escape.
Zhao Deji pressed the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand. Even though it was winter, his hands were soaked with sweat. It was not until the news of the rebels' withdrawal came that the atmosphere in the harem eased slightly.
After having a hasty dinner, Zhao Deji and the Queen Mother waited while listening to the soft sound of rain outside the window, not daring to get rid of the panic in their hearts. At this time, Feng Yi hurried in, knelt down without kowtow, and hurriedly said: "Report to the official At home, Yue Pengju has led his men to drive away Miao Liu Jisun, and is waiting at the foot of Ximen City... "
