0343 Gyeonggi Rebellion
The sound of a tragic fight suddenly came from outside the door, and Zhong Ya, who was dressed and pretending to sleep, was suddenly awakened. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info all this time, his heartstrings have always been tense, lest something worse happen.
He got up from the couch and hurried to the back of the door to listen for a moment, his face had changed greatly, and his eyes quickly scanned the room, but he found nothing of gold or iron. However, the sound of the fight was getting closer and closer, Zhong Ya didn't have time to think carefully, grabbed the stone paperweight on the bookcase and rushed out of the room.
The guards who had been guarding him day and night were nowhere to be seen, but Zhong Ya didn't have time to think about it at this time, grabbed the paperweight with one hand, and rushed through the corridor, and soon arrived at the main entrance of the Taiji front hall. At this time, Liu Chao, the general of the right guard, and Chu Fei, the servant, had already guarded the palace gate, and not far in front of them, there were several Liyang army guards holding knives and confronting each other.
Zhong Ya quickly stood beside Liu Chao, took a saber handed over by Chu Fei, and said in a low voice, "What happened?" ”
The two men shook their heads, both of them awakened in their sleep by the sound of fighting. Liu Chao has been guarding the emperor, while Chu Fei has come over the wall, but he doesn't know what is going on outside.
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and several sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness where the lights could not shine, shooting the guards in front of the hall on the spot!
Without spinning, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the darkness, from far and near. Soon, Kuang Shu, who was dressed in armor and half stained with blood, was surrounded by the guards and hurried here. In the surprised gaze of the three people, Kuang Shu bent his knees and bowed down and said: "The former eunuch of the palace, Xu Fang, harbors evil intentions and wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty the Emperor, and he has already been ambushed!" If there is a lack of technical duty, so that this rebellious person is close to the king, please punish the public! ”
With Kuang Shu's words, a guard behind him had already thrown Xu Fang's bloody head to the front of the hall. When they saw the head and heard Kuang Shu's words, the three of them were even more puzzled, and they didn't dare to relax their vigilance, Zhong Ya took a step forward and said loudly: "Kuang Jun can be loyal to the monarch and get rid of him, this is a great good." His Majesty the Emperor is sleeping peacefully in the palace, please restrain your subordinates and do not disturb Your Majesty! ”
Kuang Shu rose up in response and said to Zhong Yashi: "Don't dare to disobey the words of the servant. It's just that I'm afraid that there are still rebellious remnants lurking here, and for the sake of Your Majesty and all public security dangers, they should be strictly investigated! Please temporarily return to the palace to drive with the attendants, and in the disturbed place, after the matter is over, the king will ask for the guilt in person! ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a group of cronies behind him rushed in, each holding torches and scattering in all directions, illuminating the entire Taiji front hall to the fullest.
"Kuangshu, you dare to kill the king!"
Liu Chao took a step forward, his eyes widened angrily, his halberd pointed at Kuangshu, and he looked like he was about to fight desperately.
Kuang Shu's face changed after hearing this, and he hurriedly bowed down again: "The right guard has misunderstood, how dare you think of this beast!" Although there were retrograde soldiers who committed Taichung earlier, they only defended themselves because they were trapped. Now that I have come to my senses, I am loyal to the monarch and dare not think twice! ”
The three of them were still in doubt, and at this time, Chu Peng suddenly looked up at the south of the city and the flames were soaring, and his mind turned and motioned to the two people around him to look up. When they saw that scene, several people's faces couldn't help but be happy, Zhong Ya quickly stepped forward to help Kuang Shu, and said quickly: "Kuang Jun, but the king has returned to the capital?" Which one is it? ”
Kuang Shu smiled bitterly after hearing this, and he didn't have time to argue much at the moment, but just sent the three of them back to the palace to guard the emperor, and personally guarded the front of the palace, and then sent someone to invite Shen Ke to come here.
Although the battle around the front hall of Taiji was short, it quickly spread throughout the entire Taiyuan, especially the fire in the south of the big truss, which made people even more shocking. Many ministers who are still trapped in Taicheng are disturbed by this, and they all want to go out to the front hall of Taiji. However, as soon as they had left the house and had not gone far, they saw that the junction was already guarded by a soldier, and no one was allowed to go along.
"I'm Lu Ye of Wu County, and I want to enter the palace to serve as a palace guard!"
An old voice sounded in front of him, but it was quickly suppressed by another thick voice: "Xu Fang is rebellious and ambushed, please return to your residence, and no edict will be issued to anyone who dares to attack the Taiji Palace, and you will be killed!" ”
This was both shocking and resentful, and even someone rushed forward and shouted, "You dare to kill me? I am...... Yes! ”
When the man was slashed in the arm and fell in a pool of blood, the rest were silent, not daring to rush forward, and were driven back to their residence by the guards. It's just that each of them is panicked and uneasy, and some people take advantage of the chaos to get together with their relatives and discuss what happened.
In Tai Chi East Hall, Director Wang described him as haggard and already quite old, and the pain of losing his son hit him hard. At this time, his eyes were shining, and he listened to Lu Yong, who was in Rong Jia, with a solemn expression, and reported: "Kuang Zhongdao didn't know why, he suddenly attacked, and he had already killed Xu Fang, occupied the front hall of Taiji, and no one was allowed to approach ......."
Lu Yong was also disappointed with Su Jun's approach after entering the capital, and realized the fact that no matter who the ruler was, it would be difficult for them, the warriors, to cross the north and south gates to take power. In this case, why should he follow Su Jun to bear the name of rebellion, success or failure is still between the two. In addition, Director Wang sent people to persuade him bitterly, and finally decided to take refuge in Gaomen.
Originally, they also planned to snatch His Majesty the Emperor and escape from the city when Su Jun and the Western Army were in a fierce battle and had no time to take care of Taichung, but they didn't expect Kuang Shu to suddenly attack, which completely disrupted their plan. When Lu Yong heard the news, he rushed here as soon as possible to ask them what to do.
Due to the pain of losing a child and knowing too little about external consultations, Director Wang turned his head to look at Jia Ning on the other side.
Jia Ning was originally also a strategist of the Liyang Army, because of his own unpreparedness and keen perception of the situation, he took refuge in Wang Dao earlier than Kuangshu. After a long silence, he spoke: "Kuang Zhong Daosu and Shen Ziming are good friends, and this time the trouble should be bewitched by Shen Ziming. The south of the city is already in chaos, and Kuang Zhongdao takes advantage of the situation to control His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that it will be ......"
It's the Shen family again!
After Director Wang heard this, he suddenly felt a headache and frowned deeply.
"Nowadays, between the Taiwan Garden, Kuangzhong Dao is the most prosperous. Since there is nothing to do, why don't you take advantage of this turbulent time to escort Taibao out of the city? ”
Lu Yong knows what their temperament is like in the old Liyang department, they can survive in the north and travel to the south, which one is not ruthless and ruthless! At the moment, Kuang Shu doesn't have time to deal with them, and when he frees his hands, he may not tell him anything about his comrades' friendships.
Even if there is a mess in his heart, Director Wang's thinking is still beyond the reach of Lu Yong, and after hearing the words, he subconsciously shook his head, and then even had an idea: "Please General Lu lead your troops to seize a few gateways in the south of Taicheng, especially Xuanyang Gate, and must not be mastered by Kuang Zhongdao again!" ”
Although Lu Yong didn't know the meaning of this move, seeing that Wang Dao's expression was solemn, he no longer delayed, and left even if he was ordered.
When Lu Yong hurried away, Director Wang looked at the young man Yuan Tan again, and said: "Next, I want to ask Yan Dao to take a dangerous trip, I don't know if Yan Dao dares to go to Jiangling to cover Zhoushan?" ”
"Taibao has an order, how dare you refuse!"
Yuan Tan's body straightened up after hearing this, and he replied with a straight face.
Director Wang smiled appreciatively at the young man, and then wrote on the desk, and handed the handwritten letter to Yuan Tan before the ink dried: "Please Yandao take my handwritten letter to Zhoushan to bitterly show the benefits, and don't go against the country and harm the hearts of the people in Jiangdong!" ”
was preemptively snatched into the hands of the emperor by Kuangshu, although Wang Dao was anxious in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to be annoyed, but the plan now should be to grasp the door of the Taiyuan, so that Kuangshu would not have the opportunity to flee the king, so as to strive for an opportunity to seek cooperation.
――――――
As the western gateway to Jiankang City, Stone Town is of undoubted military importance. Although the battle in the west was tense the day before yesterday, and the 3,000 boat division rushed south to help, there were still more than 7,000 defenders in today's Stone Town.
Su Yi was a little distracted for the past two days, probably because the task he was shouldering was too heavy. The Yuzhou army that overthrew Zhoushan suddenly withdrew most of it without warning, and almost all the defense work of the entire Jiankang City was pressed on him, which inevitably made Su Yi sleepless at night, lest he lose.
After nightfall he made another round of the city, but when he returned to the city, he still had trouble sleeping. Although there were Kuang Shu and other generals in the city, Su Yi was still a little worried about them, and he couldn't help but ask the eldest brother to transfer the emperor and those important ministers to Stone City. On the one hand, it is better to ensure that there are no accidents here, and on the other hand, it also reduces some of the defensive pressure. Without the emperor there, Jiankang City is just an ordinary city, which can be kept and abandoned.
Just a little sleepy, Su Yi was about to untie his armor and fall asleep, when he suddenly heard a sergeant outside the door shouting: "General, the guards in the capital mutinied!" ”
Hearing this, Su Yi stood up with a spirit, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he urgently summoned all the generals to come to discuss the matter.
Su Wei is not credible, this is already the consensus in the Liyang army, although the incident happened suddenly, but Su Yi also had a plan for this, and he did not mess up. When all the generals are here, even if they send a few people in an orderly manner, they will lead their troops to deploy along the fence gate outside the city.
Now that it's getting late, and the streets and alleys in Jiankang City are twists and turns, if you rush in to quell the chaos now, it is very likely that you will be scattered by those guards who are making trouble, and you will lose your dispatch, after all, the defenders of Stone Town also have a considerable number of guards. The combat effectiveness of the guards is really unbearable, and even if they mutinied, they probably only plundered a few goods. When the day comes, rush in, and the riot will be calmed down in an instant!
After doing this, Su Yi summoned his nephew Su Shuo and instructed him to lead hundreds of elite troops to rush into the city, on the one hand, to warn Taicheng, and on the other hand, to take over the control of Taiyuan and take the emperor out of the city.
When the generals were mobilizing the military horses, Su Yi climbed to the top of the city and was about to wait and see the situation in the capital, but a flash of fire shone in the southeast, which made his heart tense suddenly, and he quickly ordered: "Quickly send a ranger to the Longdu ferry to find out what happened!" ”
After his subordinates received the order and left, Su Yi stood on the head of the city and couldn't be indifferent. Compared with the stability of Jiankang City, there is no doubt that it is much more important to stock up on grain at Longdu Ferry. Especially now that his brother Su Jun is fighting fiercely with the Jingzhou army, if the news of the grain and grass supply in the rear is burned at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable! Especially as soon as Jiankang Suwei launched a mutiny, there was another vision in the direction of Longdu, and Su Yi didn't dare to think deeply about whether there was a connection.
Seeing that the fire in the direction of the southeast Longdu was getting more and more vigorous, Su Yi couldn't wait for the scouts to come to report, and hurried down the city, while instructing his cronies to guard the stone city to monitor the movements of the river, and on the other hand, he personally led the three thousand soldiers who originally planned to defend the south of Jiankang City, and hurriedly went to the direction of Longdu, and constantly sent scouts along the way to investigate the movements in all directions, including the suburbs of Longdu.
