Chapter 950: The Long Night Passes and the Rooster Sings
At about two o'clock in the evening, Jia Huan's messenger carried the news from the imperial city to the city's Beijing camp station.
At this time, Shen Cheng, the king of Xincheng, was detaining the generals of the Beijing camp. In the chamber, there was a dead silence. The two guards of the eunuch Wu were killed by Bahule, and the bodies were dragged out. This was the silent resistance of the generals of the Beijing camp.
Shen Qian was in the camp, constantly pacifying, dividing the Beijing camp. When Jia Huan obtained military power, the Western Regions Army chanted "Qingjun Side, Liyan King" in the school field, and the soldiers of the nine battalions of the Beijing Battalion all heard it. The battalion soldiers were unstable.
The Yaowu Battalion trained by the Western Regions Army has a total of 8,000 people. There were more than 6,000 people willing to follow Jia Huan to raise troops. The three words "Jia Envoy Jun" have a very high prestige in the Western Regions Army. What's more, there is also Shen Qian's endorsement.
The remaining 2,000 people in the Yaowu camp are Qi Chi's descendants. When the Governor of Qi did not take a stand, they did not join. Jia Huan led 4,000 troops into Beijing, leaving 2,000 people for Shen Qian to maintain the situation in the Beijing camp.
"Second master, is the matter in the city done?" The guards surrounded Shen Qian and walked towards the meeting hall, and Xu Bo asked in a low voice.
At about two o'clock in the morning, the lights in the Beijing camp looked sluggish. A group of people walked down a dimly lit passageway. Shen Qian smiled and nodded, "Hmm." When Jia Huan's news came, the pressure in his heart was released.
Arriving at the meeting hall, the guards of the Shen Mansion stationed outside the hall saluted Shen Qian. After Shen Qian returned the salute, he walked into a solid, spacious, barracks-style hall.
Empress Yang's decree has already been read by all the generals. Shen Cheng, the king of Xincheng, was really embarrassed to persuade him to surrender. If it weren't for Shen Qian being his son, he would have tied him up long ago. Shen Qian walked to the chair on the east side, looked around at the generals, and said, "The Son of Heaven, the King of Jin, and the King of Yong are dead, and the generals should consider where to go!" β
The Wu eunuch of the Jingying Prison Army snorted coldly, "Hmph, the hussar general said it very easily!" "He is the overseer appointed by the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is dead, does he still have his current status? He was very angry.
Fei Jing, the general of the Zhenwei battalion, continued to speak and sneered: "Lord Supervisor, the hussar general is Jia Huan's accomplice. Of course, it's easy to say. He didn't want to think about it, how kind the Son of Heaven treated him to the Shen family? One cannot be shameless! β
Zhenwei Camp is the descendant of the Son of Heaven. Fei Jing was received by the Son of Heaven many times and was loyal to the Son of Heaven. I can't get used to Shen Qian's style. In his opinion, Shen Qian conspired with Jia Huan to rebel, which was ungrateful.
"Boom!" Xu Bo and the other guards angrily drew their knives and pointed at Fei Jing.
Fei Jing sneered at Shen Qian and said, "I have received the emperor's favor from the whole of my Zhenwei camp. What if you kill me? As long as the news of the death of the Son of Heaven spreads, the Zhenwei Camp will definitely seek justice for the Son of Heaven and for us!"
Zhang Guerrilla of the Zhenwei Battalion, Lin Guerrilla echoed loudly, and scolded Xu Bo and others contemptuously: "Come on! Poke here. Labor and management frowned, and it was raised by a son of a bitch. β
The atmosphere in the chamber became subtle. After the rebuilding of the Beijing camp, the combat effectiveness was very bad. Full of families and noble children. Everything should be done by considering human feelings, relationships, family, etc., and looking forward to the future. At this time, the eyes of the generals looked at Shen Qian a little wrong.
Shen Qian raised his hand, stopped Xu Bo and the others, looked indifferent, and said: "My Shen family has received the emperor's grace and retired with the country!" Jia Huan raised troops tonight, if there is a change of dynasty, of course I will not agree. But, he is revenge!
With Jia Huan's exploits in the Western Regions, today's son will not reward him, but will kill him. Can't you see the reaction of the Shule army not long ago? How to convince the public?
Yes, the son of Yongzhi is kind to me. However, that was after I made military achievements in the Western Regions. Yongzhi Tianzi went against the grain, killed Zhang Shangshu, killed Gongsun Liang, can't you hear the cry on the execution ground? The wrath of the soldier, the blood is splashed in five steps, the world is vegetarian, and today is also! β
The eyes of the generals in the Beijing camp changed slightly.
Shen Qian was not promoted by the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven only bestows grace after he has made immortal deeds. This kindness is naturally inferior to Jia Huan's reuse in the Western Regions! He followed Jia Huan to raise troops, which is understandable.
Shen Qian waved his hand and ordered, "Take it down!" β
He is not only a two-list jinshi, but also a famous player on the battlefield. There will be no indecision.
β¦
β¦
After dealing with Fei Jing and the three of them in Shen Qian, he asked the generals of the Beijing camp to cooperate and recruit the thousand generals and generals in the camp. Compared with the first half of the night, Jia Huan brutally seized military power due to the need for secrecy. Shen Qian's approach was to persuade the generals to control the Beijing camp from top to bottom.
When Shen Qian was methodically handling the affairs of the Beijing camp, Wei Qihou, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, rushed to the Beijing camp with more than 100 generals.
Horses and other objects have long been placed at the gate of the camp in Beijing, and the gate of the camp is closed. Without Shen Qian's permission, internal and external news were cut off.
"Who? Password? The little colonel asked after rejecting the horse.
Wei Qihou flung the whip on his horse, held a yellow scroll of scrolls alof, and said angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes, you don't even know the governor of Pontus? The Pontus Governor came by order of the Empress to see the Hussar General. Get out of the way! β
Xiao Xiao Xiao was beaten with a bloody mark on his face, and he was quite hesitant. The hussar general's order was that no one was allowed to enter the camp without permission. Should this situation be reported or not? Wei Qihou, the queen, these are all big shots.
Wei Qihou took the lead, half coaxing, intimidating, and half forcing more than 100 guards to pass through the gate of the Beijing camp. As soon as he passed the gate, he immediately rode towards the camp of Zhenwei Camp, raised his arms and shouted: "Jia Huan kills the king, all the soldiers will kill the thief with the governor of Pontus!" β
Behind him, more than 100 people chanted in unison.
There are 8,000 people in the Zhenwei battalion, and 2,000 people are stationed in the West Garden. There are still 6,000 people in the Jingying garrison. They are all descendants of the Son of Heaven! There was a lot of fighting in the city, and there was so much movement, and they were not deaf.
Shen Qian only barely reluctantly pacified them. This is Wei Qihou's arrival, and it is suddenly like a spark ignited in a powder keg, and it explodes in an instant!
The guards and generals who maintained order on behalf of Shen Qian were killed by the enraged Zhenwei battalion soldiers. The shouts of contact, one after another! The Zhenwei battalion was quickly mobilized under the organization of the thousand generals and the general officers.
It shows a very high level of military literacy. After Wei Qihou showed Empress Yang's decree, it was confirmed that Jia Huan killed the monarch, commanded by Wei Qihou, and attacked the meeting hall hundreds of meters away.
The transfer of the Beijing camp must be made by holy decree. Wei Qihou Cheng Zhe waited for most of the night, and finally waited for an opportunity! An opportunity to turn the tables! Use Empress Yang's decree to confirm to the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion that the Son of Heaven is dead, and there is no need to wait for the holy decree to ignite the hatred of the Zhenwei battalion and control the military power.
He was a general who led troops. Knowing well the coup d'Γ©tat of the national dynasty, those who have the Beijing camp will have the capital!
Although there are his descendants among the twelve guards stationed at the nine gates of the Beijing Division, in front of the Beijing camp, there is only one who is hanged and beaten. If he wants to extinguish Jia Huan's rebellion, he must get the military power of the Beijing camp, to be exact, the Zhenwei camp!
He didn't make a move, only at this moment, he seized the opportunity and launched a fatal blow!
At the same time, the Upper Twelve Guards will cooperate with him. The situation suddenly became dangerous for Jia Huan!
If the control of the Beijing camp changes hands, plus the 100,000 guards army advances, the 4,000 people in his hands will be consumed to death.
β¦
β¦
Although Shen Qian was a famous general, he was defeated by the angry Zhenwei battalion with 500 to 6,000, the council hall was lost, and the guards suffered heavy casualties. He retreated to the artillery battalion, and the position of the 2,000 Yaowu battalion was slightly stabilized.
He had already controlled all the artillery in the Beijing camp and was under the care of the Yaowu battalion soldiers in his hands. With the capture of the council hall, several Beijing camp generals and guerrillas fled when they saw the opportunity. About 70,000 Beijing camps are in chaos!
"Kill Jia Huan! Kill Shen Qian! β
Shen Qian frowned, in the trench, holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the boiling slogans on the east side of the camp, his face sinking like water. The Zhenwei Battalion has become even more powerful.
Shen Cheng was beside his son, looking at the whistling waves, and said worriedly: "It's Guoyong Battalion." "The Guoyong battalion will be a first-class Bowu Yongtong. He and Wei Qihou both belong to the New Wuxun Group. Wei Qihou is the standard-bearer of this force!
Shen Qian didn't speak, half a voice, and commanded in a deep voice: "Send someone!" Ask Ziyu for help. β
β¦
β¦
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The dense sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky north of the city like beans. At the same time, countless messengers sent messages to the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division, asking the guards to raise troops, listen to Wei Qihou's orders, attack Xiyuan and the imperial palace, and extinguish the rebellion of Jia Huan.
There are also messengers to the two governors of the North Zhili: the Shuntian Governor (stationed in Zunhua) and the Baoding Governor (stationed in Baoding), and asked the two governors of the Northern Zhili to transfer troops to the Beijing Division Qinwang!
In just a few hours, the situation changed. If you look down from the sky, Jia Huan has the West Garden and the Imperial Palace with elite soldiers. And all around is the siege of countless armies, slowly moving.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the situation in the night took a sharp turn for the worse. The stormy waves set off by Wei Qihou rushed towards Jia Huan with a thunderous momentum! If you are not careful, it will be the end of death and annihilation.
On the square outside the Wuying Palace, the gathered Tiger Ben Guards and Yulin Guards who had surrendered looked at each other, and the scene was slightly commotionous. They looked at the main force of the Shule army, which was resting nearby, and the 3,000 people urgently formed a team.
At this time, the nine gates of the Beijing Division, except for the Desheng Gate controlled by Jia Huan, after the tandem of the commanders, under the order of Wei Qihou, mobilized the army and began to march towards the city. How can the movement of the 100,000-strong army not be felt within a radius of several miles in this inner city?
An atmosphere of slaughter pervaded.
After Jia Huan handed over to Luo Xiangyang and Ji Cheng, who had already arrived in the capital, he took Qin Hongtu, Yi Junjie, and his guards to the Xihua Gate and looked north at the Beijing camp. He had smooth communication with Shen Qian in the Jingying station, and had received Shen Qian's request for help.
Jia Huan sighed lightly: "Gong Zhai, Lao Yi, it seems that our army is unpopular!" In the Beijing camp, Wei Qihou responded to every call. Shen Qian's pacification and division in the middle of the night were in vain. The idea of loyalty to the monarch is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Perhaps, those in high positions should consider the gains and losses of interests, and for the low-level soldiers, after learning that he killed Emperor Yongzhi, their first reaction was of course to kill him, the monarch killer. The rest of the matter, the meat eaters seek it.
Qin Hongtu and Yi Junjie were about to persuade Jia Huan. At this time, a messenger rushed over and saluted: "Envoy, the rearguard of the government army stationed in Fuchengmen has been dispatched, and the communication between Jiafu and Sishifang has been cut off. β
One more weight on the critical situation.
Jia Huan was slightly stunned.
"Ahh Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi exclaimed in surprise, their breathing became a little short, and their mouths were dry. The government army guards can dispatch at least 10,000 people, and the destruction of Jiafu is imminent! At this time, the Beijing camp was unstable. The third master has limited troops.
Yi Junjie suggested: "Envoy, first transfer troops to relieve the siege of Jiafu!" "If life is like Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the family is dead, even if he is the Son of Heaven, what is the meaning?
Qin Hongtu wanted to speak and stopped. How can he persuade this kind of thing?
Jia Huan shook his head gently, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and ordered: "Ling Boren leads the army to rescue the Beijing camp!" Lao Yi, you go to the rear guard of the government army on my behalf and inform the envoy of the prayer commander: I have transferred troops to the Beijing camp. The current situation is not clear. Let him take it easy. β
Yi Junjie was slightly stunned, saluted, and took the order.
Qin Hongtu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Jia Huan leaned on the city wall and looked at the location of Jia's mansion. How is there more than just a heart in his heart? There were his beloved wives. If they were wounded, he would have died to atone for their sins. And King Yan is also in the house. However, there is a priority in the matter, and in the current situation, he must grasp the main contradiction!
Otherwise, not only will he not be able to relieve the siege of Jiafu, but his army will also fail tonight.
β¦
β¦
The north of Fuchengmen Street is where Sishifang and Jiafu are located.
After communicating with the other six commanders, the government army guard Qi commanded the envoys to mobilize 8,000 people to rush through Fuchengmen Street like a tide to control the main roads of Xianyifang and Sishifang. Arrive near the west fourth floor sign.
It's not far from the West Garden. A large number of Shule troops are going north out of the city from Xiaoyongfang, through the west fourth floor card. The government army guards did not dare to block its edge and retreated half a mile.
At the entrance of the main street of the Four Seasons Square, the envoy of the Qi Commander and the confidant Bo Zhao were discussing beside the artillery behind the sack, "Ji Qing, do you think you should capture Jiafu immediately?" β
The envoy was not Wei Qihou's confidant, and at this time, he did not want to be the vanguard and attack Xiyuan and the palace. Therefore, when the Shule army went north to rescue, he immediately commanded to retreat.
Zhao Wei twisted his beard with a smile, with a look of wisdom beads in his hand, and said in a low voice: "My lord, let's surround Jiafu first." This can be custody or protection. Wait and see. β
The Commander smiled slightly, "Hehe, it's exactly what I want." β
While he was talking, a junior colonel came to report, "My lord, Jia Huan sent a messenger to come." β
Commander Qi and Zhao Wei glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.
At this time, a fierce shouting of killing suddenly broke out in Jiafu. The smiles of the Commander and Zhao Wei froze.
Which bastard is this who doesn't listen to orders?
β¦
β¦
In front of the Rongguo Mansion on Ningrong Street, countless guards of the government army besieged Jiafu. Zhang Qianhu commanded his subordinates and tried to attack Jiafu. The reason for avenging the Son of Heaven is high-sounding. What he really values is the beauty and wealth in Jiafu!
This is not just talk, but it does exist. Every time order breaks down in Beijing, the houses of goodness are looted. Hooligans, thugs, bullies, and routs, etc.
"Kill!"
"Kill Jia Huan!"
Shouts of killing came from all directions. In Rongguo's mansion, in the south hall, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Lan and other faces slowly turned like dirt. Death is coming.
In the east courtyard, Jiafu, which had been quiet for most of the night, was surrounded at this time. The crying and panic of the ladies can be imagined! Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Baoyu, Baochai, Daiyu, Baoqin, Xiangyun and others were crying. Jia Huan's concubines, Lin Qianwei, Su Shishi, Lin Zhiyun, and Shi Yuhua were frightened. And the maids.
The atmosphere was bleak.
In the front yard of Jiafu, Yang Dayan was wearing thick armor, ready to go out of the house to kill. Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, who were in charge of logistics and supply, pulled Yang Dayan's horse rope and persuaded bitterly: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, the general should not fight!" β
At the palace wall, the two sides are already fighting, and the situation is precarious!
Yang Dayan is not very old and has experienced a hundred battles. He didn't read a military book, but he had his own judgment on the battlefield situation, his eyes widened, and he said disdainfully: "A group of rabble, what kind of power is it?" Get out of the way. He turned around and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!" β
In response to him, there was an angry voice: "Wan Sheng! β
When Jia Huan left the house, he left a hundred guards for Yang Dayan. After conquering Xiyuan, three hundred guards were sent back to help. There are about 400 veterans in Jiafu.
"Squeak..."
The gate of Jiafu is slowly opened. The thousand households who were attacking Jiafu burst into violent cheers, "Oh...", "Kill! "Whew..."
"Kill!"
Yang Dayan urged the horse to speed up, and behind him were three hundred cavalry. All of them are Dawan good horses. The majestic horses sped up in an instant, like tanks, crushing out. "Ahh
Yang Dayan brandished his mace and went on a rampage. If you touch it, you will die, and if you touch it, you will be injured. The mace was covered with white brains and bright red blood. After cutting through the hundreds of bandits and driving them back like a tide, he hung his mace on his horseback and shot an arrow at Zhang Qianhu, who was commanding at the intersection of Ningrong Street.
Yang Dayan, born in the Shule Army, is in the Western Regions, and is known as 10,000 enemies.
"Kill!" Three hundred veterans shouted in unison. Like a whirlwind, and like a hammer, it smashed into the rearguard of Ning Rong's government army with hatred, aggression like fire, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, showing the demeanor of Jia Yuanjun's own soldiers!
When they followed Jia Envoy Jun to crisscross thousands of miles in the Western Regions, wading through the corpse mountains and sea of blood, did they have exercises in Beijing?
β¦
β¦
The city of Beijing camp station.
Countless soldiers attacked the artillery camp in the southwest corner of the garrison. Wei Qihou is a general with troops, and he knows very well that if there is no artillery, he will kill in the city, just to deliver food to Jia Huan.
Shen Qian's calm command. After repelling an attack, he sent someone to shout: "Wei Qihou, there is something to talk about." Please come out and see you. β
He only collected the artillery in the camp, but did not get enough shells. Transporting ammunition requires manpower and time. Otherwise, at this time the artillery salvo fires, and he is impregnable here.
Bahule hid in the darkness at Shen Qian's side.
In the opposite formation, a person showed his head and shouted, "Shen Qian, what else do you have to say now?" How arrogant you were just now, pointing a gun at us..."
"Whoosh!"
An iron arrow shot at a rapid pace. The words of the Guoyong Battalion Counselor General, the first-class Bo Wuyong Tongse, were like a movie that muted people and came to an abrupt end! Bahule made a meritorious service with one arrow.
Shen Qian snorted, "Bad luck! "He originally wanted to trap Wei Qihou.
In the army formation opposite, a hoarse cry sounded. This was followed by an onslaught. In the darkest night before dawn, I don't know how many soldiers from the Beijing camp will serve Wei Qihou again. The offensive is in full swing. The pressure on Shen Qian has increased greatly.
At this moment, the familiar sound of military music sounded outside the Beijing camp station. Zhang Sishui led 3,000 Shule troops to join the battlefield from the side. The attacking battalion was immediately dispersed and fled.
"Boom!" The light artillery that was brought with it, began to shoot extended.
The Western Regions Army adopted flintlock tactics. Although the Zhenwei battalion is elite, it still adopts arquebus tactics. After Zhang Sishui arrived with 3,000 reinforcements in time, there were two famous generals, Shen Qian and Zhang Sishui, commanded. The battle situation can be imagined.
β¦
β¦
"Why... Giggle--!"
On the tower of Xihua Gate, Jia Huan stood, inhibiting all his emotions. For example: worry, irritability, waiting, anxiety, etc.
I don't know where I suddenly heard the crowing of a rooster. Sing high! The edge of the sky, at this time, is white with fish belly. Dawn has come!
Two messengers from different directions met each other and ran up the tower. One person said: "Envoy, Jiafu is fine!" Another messenger followed: "Envoy, Shen Hussar and Judge Zhang have subdued the Jingying. β
Around Jia Huan, Qin Hongtu, Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi, Gao Zizhong, and more than a dozen personal guards all breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Jia Huan nodded slowly, and said one word heavily, "Okay!" It seemed to pour all the emotions in his heart into this one word.
The rooster sings the world white!
