Chapter 160: Follow Chang'an to place a bet
Under the leadership of several soldiers of the forbidden army, or under the control, Zhao Yi, who was only sixteen years old, held high the holy decree, swallowed his saliva, and stepped into the tense camp.
Hou Jingde and Chong Xuantong looked at this holy decree at the same time.
The two of them had different ideas, especially Hou Jingde, who was extremely nervous now.
As the main general of this defense, Chong Xuantong probably already knows what the situation in the capital is like now, and also knows that the imperial city is likely to have fallen, but Hou Jingde has been staying in the Zuoying camp from last night to now, and the sky has just dawned, and before he has time to receive any news, Chong Xuantong led people to break in.
At this time, he didn't know what the situation was in the imperial city, that is to say, for this general Hou, this holy decree was to pronounce whether he was alive or dead.
Chong Xuantong frowned tightly and did not speak.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and unfolded the holy decree, he didn't let the people in the camp kneel, and directly opened his mouth to read it.
"The edict says ......"
The format of the decree is much the same, the vast majority of the words are nonsense, and only a few sentences are useful.
Zhao Yi continued to read: "General Zhu Guo, Taifu Li Xin, led the righteous army into Beijing and cleansed the world......
After hearing the words "General Zhuguo", Hou Jingde, who was originally quite nervous, suddenly relaxed, and his heart was ecstatic, and he couldn't listen to a word of what was behind the holy decree.
The tall, black-faced general laughed.
His smile was full of the happiness of a victor.
Because he knew that this gamble similar to the Renchen Palace change back then, he ended up again, and ...... Once again, the bet won.
On the other hand, looking at the kind of Xuantong on the other side, his face was already difficult to see.
Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and continued to read.
"Order all battalions in Beijing, all the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, unload their armor on the spot, hand in their weapons, and stand by on the spot, and there will be no more ......"
Hearing this, Chong Xuantong couldn't bear it anymore, the old general's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Where did the doll come from, dare to fake the holy decree!" ”
Although Zhao Yi is still a young man, he is already smart, and he has experienced a lot of things in the capital during this time, and his mental vision has far surpassed his peers. ”
Chong Xuantong shouted angrily: "It is clear that you bold thieves broke into the forbidden palace, coerced Shang Shutai and the Son of Heaven, and wrote such a so-called holy decree. ”
Zhao Yi was not afraid, and said loudly to Chong Xuantong: "General Chong, the Son of Heaven has agreed to abdicate!" ”
"At most, tomorrow, the six princes will enter the throne of Beijing, and then everything in the Yuan Zhao Dynasty will be overturned and restarted, and now someone has taken over the right camp of the forbidden army with a holy decree, and there is no second general in the right camp of the forbidden army, and it will not be long before he will be unarmored and standby."
He looked at Chong Xuantong and said in a deep voice: "General Ariga is here, and the right battalion of the forbidden army will even immediately turn against him." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yi looked at Chong Xuantong, and then at the three Zhichong lieutenants behind Chong Xuantong, with an expressionless face: "The old general is stubborn and begging for death, and no one can stop him, but does the old general have to take half of the people from the right battalion of the forbidden army to die together?" ”
"Enough people have died."
Zhao Yi shouted loudly: "The general has already said, at this time, the forbidden army took the initiative to unload the armor and hand in the weapons, and in the future, we will still be colleagues, if we are obsessed, we will be enemies in the future!" ”
"The Son of Heaven is preparing an edict of abdication, and when the new Son of Heaven abdicates, you will be the thief of the new dynasty!"
Most of the people in the left battalion of the forbidden army originally fell to Hou Jingde, but because of the emperor's order, only three lieutenants chose to stand on the side of Xuantong.
But at the end of the day, they were on the side of the court.
Now...... The imperial court had fallen into the hands of the Southwestern Army.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, the three of them all frowned and stood in place hesitating.
Hou Jingde on the other side had calmed down at this time, he still had a smile on his face, and grinned at Chong Xuantong and the three lieutenants behind Chong Xuantong: "Everyone, you are all loyal to the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven has issued an edict to let you remove your armor today, it won't take a few days, and the Son of Heaven will be replaced to do it, do you really want to die for this?" ”
Hou Jingde smiled: "You died happily, what should your wives and children do?" ”
"Ben knows them."
Hou Jingde has been in the left camp of the forbidden army for so many years, and he knows where these subordinates live and how many children he has.
Hearing Hou Jingde's words, the three commanders behind Chong Xuantong all changed their faces.
As a soldier, there is nothing to say about dying for the Son of Heaven, but in the past, he died for the Son of Heaven, and there was a pension after death, and his son may still be able to enter the forbidden army because of this, but if the Son of Heaven changes......
If you die here, you will become thieves, and your family will not only not get the pension, but they may also be implicated!
One of them, who was in his forties, did not speak, but silently took off his armor and threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, and then took the initiative to kneel in front of Hou Jingde, kowtowed: "General, the last general has offended a lot ......."
Hou Jingde was still smiling.
"It's not too late."
There was the first, there was the second, and soon the three commanders had all unarmed and stood on Hou Jingde's side.
In this way, all the Zhichong captains in the left battalion were already on Hou Jingde's side, and this holy decree was quickly issued, and there were four Zhichong mansions left in the left battalion of the forbidden army, and everyone took off their clothes and armor and handed in their weapons.
Although nominally they were "resting in place", in fact they had become prisoners of the Southwestern Army.
However, these forbidden troops did not do anything wrong, and after the establishment of the new dynasty, they were still forbidden troops.
The people around him turned against each other, and Chong Xuantong's face was surprisingly ugly.
Soon, some people who wanted to "make meritorious contributions" rushed up and tied up the kind of Xuantong with a cowhide rope.
Hou Jingde was in a good mood, stepped forward and patted Zhao Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the little brother, you came in time, otherwise the old man's life may be gone." ”
Zhao Yi didn't dare to say anything.
Hou Jingde looked left and right, but didn't see Li Xin's figure, so he asked.
"Where's General Li?"
"Back to the old general, my father-in-law is outside the camp, and when I see the soldiers of the forbidden army unarmouring at this time, I should bring people in soon."
"It turns out that the little brother is the righteous son of Chang'an, no wonder you have some shadows of him."
Hou Jingde glanced at Zhao Yi again and smiled: "Young people have a bright future." ”
"The old general compliments."
Hou Jingde narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I am an old friend of your father-in-law, there is no need to be so angry, if you can look down on the old man, how about calling uncle?" ”
Zhao Yi took two steps back and bowed respectfully to Hou Jingde: "The younger generation has seen Uncle Hou. ”
"What a clever young man."
Hou Jingde clapped his hands and praised: "The achievements in the future will not be bad." ”
While the two of them were talking, Li Xin had already led someone to break in, and Hou Jingde saw Li Xin coming, and hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." ”
Li Xin waved his hand.
"There's nothing to congratulate, dude?"
"Of course I'm fine."
Hou Jingde was in a good mood at this time, with a smile on his face all the time, he said with a smile: "It turns out that I am not mistaken, follow Chang'an, you bet, you can always make a lot of money." ”
"It was more than a decade ago, and it's true today."
Li Xin also showed a smile on his face and said, "If it weren't for my brother today, it wouldn't have been so smooth anyway." ”
"Go back to your buddy, you will take a precedent credit."
Hou Jingde laughed.
"Then ...... Thank you, General, for your appreciation. ”
