Chapter 255 Changes in the city, chaos is unbearable!
"Punish all the traitors, Kuang Fu Han - rush!"
"Welcome to the Son of Heaven, Zhongxing Dahan - kill!"
……………………
Late at night, outside the imperial city - the fire flickered, the sound of killing shook the sky, the country that has always been elegant and elegant was ambushed, at this time, wearing heavy armor and holding a sword, surrounded by several sons, led a group of men and horses to storm Sima Gate, wanting to enter the palace and welcome the emperor Liu Xie!
The attacking team was quite large, there were as many as three or four thousand people, and the members were rather chaotic, including the personal soldiers, doormen, and servants of the Imperial Palace, as well as the dead soldiers, rangers, and killers recruited at high prices, as well as foreigners with different appearances!
In particular, dozens of blonde, blue-eyed, and burly war slaves from the Western Regions, wearing double-layer steel heavy armor and holding extra-large swords, rushed to the front of the team, killing people when they saw them, bloodthirsty and crazy, fierce as a group of beasts!
They also tore down a beam and slammed it against the Sima Gate, making a loud rumbling noise, and really used all the strength of the milk, because the new master had promised that as long as they entered this big palace, they could regain their freedom!
"Defend the palace gate, don't retreat, destroy the traitor, and be rewarded for meritorious service - kill!"
On the other hand, under the command of Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, the forbidden army relied on the favorable terrain, guarded the palace gate, fought to the death, and did not retreat.
At the same time, they sent several messengers to break out of the siege in disguise and ask for help outside the city; On the one hand, he firmly controlled the harem, and also gathered the emperor, empress, prince, and princess to properly protect them! ’
Although the emperor has no real power, he has a reputation, and it is an excellent political signboard, no matter who controls the emperor, he can justifiably govern on behalf of the heavens and command the world!
Therefore, the traitor took great pains to cultivate some henchmen and dead soldiers, and placed them among the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids in the imperial city to monitor the emperor's and empress's every move, and they also had a special task:
Even when it comes to an extraordinary moment, it is better to let the emperor 'return the dragon to the sea' than to fall into the hands of others, including the princes of the Liu family, and not a single one can be left!
The poor emperor's family hid in the deep palace, constantly worshipping God and begging Buddha, hoping to bring people in as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the house arrest of the traitorous male, but they didn't know that when the palace gate was breached, it was the moment when they died!
In this way, one side attacked desperately, the other side swore to resist to the death, only the ghosts cried wolves, blood gushed like springs, and there were so many corpses that they almost blocked Sima Gate......
Under the contact of Taifu-Yang Biao, civil and military officials and scholars who were loyal to the Liu dynasty and dissatisfied with the Cao clan also organized men and horses and rushed to the streets of Xuchang.
Attack the four gates of Xuchang City all the way, cut off the internal and external connections, prevent the Cao army from entering the city for reinforcements, and open a passage by the way, if there is an accident in the coup, you can still escape out of the city, isn't it!
Go all the way to the Broken Soul Valley - Heavenly Prison in the north of the city, release all the prisoners of war and prisoners inside, and then organize them to attack the Cao army camp outside the city to create chaos as much as possible!
The last way is to attack the arsenal, which contains countless armor, swords, guns, bows and arrows...... It is enough to arm an army of more than 100,000 people, and with sufficient weapons and equipment, we can continue to expand our troops and horses!
Speaking from the heart, this military coup - well-prepared, well-planned, absolutely master's handiwork, but the specific implementation can only be described in one word - chaos!
According to the plan of the die-hard Han family loyalists, they wanted to assassinate Cao Cao and Xiao Yi, and when the Cao army was leaderless, they launched a coup d'état, welcomed the emperor, ordered the world, exterminated the remnants, and returned to the old capital!
As a result, the assassination failed, Cao Cao's life and death were uncertain, Xiao Yi was only slightly injured, although Cao Jun was terrified, but did not fall into chaos, in desperation, the diehards could only rush into trouble, and lost the chance of winning by three points first!
Moreover, Cao Cao has been in power for more than ten years, and his cronies are all over the world, and among the officials in Xuchang City, there are a large number of pro-Cao factions.
"Kill the traitor! Kill the traitor! --Who is the traitor? ”
"If the war is in chaos, it doesn't matter who he is a traitor, if you see a living person, cut it down - Lao Tzu looks at you like a traitor!"
……………………
On the streets of Xuchang - the firelight flickered, people shouted and neighed, the situation was extremely chaotic, and some officials who had sworn and promised to participate in the coup d'état suddenly changed their minds and closed their doors to become turtles!
And some unwitting officials came in in a daze, leading the guards and slaves to rush into the streets, holding knives and guns for a long time, but they didn't know who to help?
Because the slogans shouted by the loyal Han faction and the pro-Cao faction are almost identical, they all accuse the other party of being rebellious, and they themselves are killing thieves for the country, and they are justifiable, each one is louder than the other!
A few roads of people and horses are not smooth, Xuchang Simen is heavily garrisoned, the attacking rebels are in a bitter battle, the road to attack the prison is unfamiliar, and the terrain of the Broken Soul Valley is complicated, so I am lost in a ghostly way!
The most infuriating thing was the attack on the arsenal, and on the way happened to pass through a fang market, a rebel had an itchy hand, took advantage of the chaos to rob a shop, and got a lot of gold and silver......
There are many rangers and killers in the rebels, who are just for money, and now that the money is in front of them, why continue to work hard, anyway, if you don't rob others, you will rob them, so let's rob them together, whoever grabs it is whoever!
As a result, a planned and purposeful coup d'état turned into a chaotic situation of smashing, looting, burning, and doing all kinds of evil, and as for the attack on the arsenal, it has long been forgotten!
………………………………………………………………………………
"There is a change in the city, and after the rebellion is over, we should put aside the argument and immediately send troops to suppress it, otherwise the chaos will spread and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"The life and death of the prime minister is uncertain, and the officers and soldiers in the army are uneasy, how to send troops to quell the rebellion, it is better to cross the Yellow River and go to Yecheng to avoid the edge, which is the fief of the Principality of Wei, and it can be safe!"
"If we flee without a fight, won't we give up the emperor, the court, and the treasury to the traitors, if Xuchang City is not protected, how can Yecheng survive alone?"
"Xuchang City is prosperous and rich, it's a pity that it was destroyed in the war, why don't you negotiate peace with Fu Wan and others, and things may take a turn for the better?"
…………………………
In the Xiangfu camp-big tent, when they learned that something had happened in the city, the civil and military ministers were all shocked, and then a fierce argument broke out.
However, the main battle may not be loyal ministers, maybe you want to fish in troubled waters, take the opportunity to grab some military power, so as to raise your value!
The main escape is not necessarily cowardly, the current situation of the Cao Ying Group, it is indeed not appropriate to make a big move, you must know that you must first settle inside!
Mrs. Bian was anxious, but she couldn't think of a countermeasure, although she was a woman, but she also understood a truth: the heavy weapon of the country should not be paid lightly, what is the heavy weapon - the soldier is also!
Now that the situation is chaotic and the people's hearts are unpredictable, the ghost knows that he has handed over the talismans, will the generals send troops to suppress the rebellion, or will they join forces with the rebels to deal with the Cao family together?
But the city is in chaos, and it is not possible to suppress it without troops, otherwise the rebels will become the climate, and it will be too late to clean it up...... Clans, sons-in-law, civil ministers, and military generals, who can be relied on?
In the midst of the panic, a slave came out of the back tent, holding a bowl of tea in both hands, and quietly handed it to Mrs. Bian, and used his body to block the surrounding vision......
Mrs. Bian's mouth was dry, so she took the teacup and sent it to her mouth, but she didn't drink a drop of tea, and hurriedly lifted the corner of the tea lid to see, there was no tea in it at all, but there was a note, which was densely covered with fly-headed small letters............
"Woohoo! --The Prime Minister's life and death are uncertain, and you are struggling with each other, so it's okay, the talismans and seals are here, if you are interested, just take it away, just ask for the lives of our mother and son! ”
"Madame, don't be sad, we will be loyal wholeheartedly, and there is nothing more than a thought!"
……………………
Mrs. Bian howled and cried, crying so miserably, as soon as this bitter card was played, the ministers were frightened to kneel on the ground, and hurriedly swore to the sky and swore loyalty to Cao!
Seeing that the situation was under control, the originally weak and pitiful lady instantly turned into a wise commander, took out the talisman from the box, and began to divide the troops:
"The four generals Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong listened to the order, and immediately led the men and horses of the headquarters to surround Xuchang City, and then sent a group of men and horses into the city to meet Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, and make every effort to quell the rebellion!"
"No! - Obey Madame's orders! ”
"Mr. Cheng Yu and Mr. Liu Ye, for the time being, preside over military and political affairs, contact the state pastors and county guards in various places to prevent them from falling to the rebels, and then tell the generals in Huainan and Hanzhong to strictly prevent the princes from attacking!"
"No!"
"Xiao Lang is injured, it is not appropriate to fight again, just stay in the camp and take charge of defense affairs, with you by your side, the old body can feel at ease!"
"Son-in-law...... Yes, yes! ”
Sending troops to quell the rebellion with clan generals can ensure that they will not rebel against Cao and defect to Han, and presiding over major affairs with two civil ministers who have no military power can ensure that they will not rebel, and then control Xiao Yi in the camp, which can prevent him from supporting his own army and deter those with ulterior motives, it is really a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!
