Chapter 496: Ban Dang shows loyalty
"Escort! Escort! β
With a shout, about two or three thousand people, men, women and children, monks and laymen, some armed with blades, some with farm tools, and even some with kitchen knives and rolling pins, rushed from all directions.
The first person was a monk, who was around sixty years old, with an elegant face and exclaimed excitedly: "The court has been raising soldiers for a hundred years, and the festival of righteousness and death is today." Brothers, rush! β
As he spoke, the old monk's eyes turned red, and he squeezed out a few tears!
Empress Wei was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... These are the people who wrote your book? How...... How can it be so ......?"
After all, people are here to save themselves, and if they say ugly words, Empress Wei is really embarrassed to say them - there are a lot of people, but this is a group of ordinary people, what combat power can they have?
But how could she have imagined that this is what Cui Geng wants!
Yes, these people are Freemasons and their families.
One of the reasons why men, women, and children go into battle together is that although there are many Freemasons, there are only a few hundred people in charge of fighting, and the momentum is not enough.
In addition, it is Cui Geng's little caution - otherwise, how can it reflect the loyalty of the Freemasonry to the King of Luling and seek a wealth for everyone? Otherwise, how could King Luling be willing to rehabilitate Xu Jingye?
He said confidently: "Didn't Wei Chen say it just now? These people are all lonely sons of the Tang Dynasty. You see that they have men, women and children, and they have different costumes, which shows that the king of Luling is very popular with the people of the world! β
Empress Wei said angrily: "What's the use of the people's hearts? Maybe you can get out of the encirclement? β
"Of course, it is not enough to rely on the will of the people. But...... Don't we still have a holy decree? β
Almost everyone ignored a problem - yes, Cui Geng didn't have a holy decree in his hand, but that didn't mean that Wu Zetian hadn't given him a holy decree. In fact, he just didn't carry it with him!
"I said: I have heard that father and son are connected by nature, and mother and son are connected, and people are also the foundation. The king of Luling is my own son, although he has a small fault, he is assigned to Fangzhou ......"
As King Luo Bin's subdued voice sounded, the soldiers who were besieging the Luling Palace's mansion suddenly moved a little and began to slowly retreat.
The reason is very simple, Yuan Licheng is Wu Sansi's confidant, but they are not! Do you want to risk your life and help Yuan Licheng resist and disobey?
Seeing this, Yuan Licheng hurriedly shouted, "Don't believe this monk, that holy decree is also fake!" β
"Huh, fake? It can't be fake, it can't be fake, please check it out. King Luo Bin casually handed over Wu Zetian's holy decree.
These soldiers besieging the King of Luling have high and low identities, and of course there are also those who know the holy decree. People exchanged heads and ears, and their eyes gradually softened.
Seeing this, Cui Geng took advantage of the situation and said, "Rush! Protect the King of Luling out of Fangzhou City! β
"Whoa!"
The people responded in unison, and the two sides soon met, protecting the King of Luling and others, and rushed out of the city.
The soldiers besieging the Luling Palace, who were besieging each other, did not stop each other, but just stamped their feet and shouted: "Rush, kill!" Don't let them run away! β
Seeing this, Wu Chongxun glared at Yuan Licheng viciously and said, "The good soldiers you brought!" β
Yuan Licheng was also aggrieved, and thought to himself, I have only been in Fangzhou for a month, and it is already quite good to be able to do this, can I be blamed for this?
He didn't argue, he bowed his head, and said nothing.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cui Geng took so many Freemasons that his interests were maximized. But there are not enough horses, men, women and children, and the speed of action is not fast.
As soon as he left Fangzhou City for forty miles, he had no order to set up a temporary camp and rest for the time being.
After more than ten years, Li Xian finally left Fangzhou City, looked around, and suddenly had the feeling of "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly".
He said happily: "Cui Shu, this time the Lone King was able to escape, but it was all thanks to you." β
"Where, the credit of Weichen is not worth mentioning. The main thing is that you are blessed with all your blessings, and the soldiers use their lives! β
"Yes, there are soldiers who use their lives!" Li Xian glanced around and said, "The names of these people, Cui Shu, you have written them down for King Gu, and when I return to Luoyang, I will definitely be rewarded!" β
Cui Geng has been busy for a long time, isn't that just the sentence he was waiting for? Hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" β
"Oh, hehe, so soon, you are going to be rewarded for meritorious deeds? I mean, two, are you happy a little earlier? At this moment, Yuan Licheng's voice sounded.
Cui Geng sneered: "There are more than 2,000 people here, and later, there will be a large army to respond." I don't believe it, what other means do you have to turn the tables? β
"There's an army to pick up later? How long does it take? β
"Uh...... Calculate the time, almost an hour. β
"An hour, it's late!" Yuan Licheng laughed and said proudly: "It's still King Liang's thousand-year-old chess master, and he arranged an army of 3,000 on Fangshan. The commander of this army was called LΓΌ Wu, who received the favor of King Chitose of Liang and was willing to die for him. Lu Wu is a dead eye, but he doesn't care about the life or death of any hostages, let alone the noble identity of King Luling! Right now...... You're dead! β
Yes? Fangshan?
Cui Geng was suddenly startled, and when he raised his eyes, the majestic mountain shadow of Fangshan was less than three miles away from him and the others, as if it was right in front of him!
He thought to himself, is it time to run away desperately? Or is it on standby? Alas, I regret it, I really shouldn't have been greedy and brought all the Freemasons' family members. With these burdens, you really can't beat it, and you can't escape it!
"Rush, kill, don't let King Luling escape!"
Just when Cui Geng was in a dilemma, suddenly the sound of shouting and killing came from afar, followed by two thousand cavalry forming a formation and approaching the camp!
The first person, with a burly figure and a face like a heavy jujube, said in a loud voice: "Which one is the author Lang Cui Geng?" Who is the King of Luling? Please answer before the battle! β
"This official is here!" Cui Geng responded and turned over on his horse.
Li Xiandao: "That person's name is the name of Guwang and Cui Shushu, let's go together, right?" β
Cui Gengwei was puzzled: "This ...... The prince is in danger of the world, how can he be in danger? β
Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Alas, could it be that Cui thought that if you had a bad conversation with that person, this king would still be able to escape?" β
Cui Geng thinks about it, his more than 2,000 rabble is not enough for everyone to draw through, and Li Xian is really not much different from the front and the rear!
He had no choice but to say: "Feng Changqing!" β
"In!"
"Protect the King of Luling!"
"Whoa!"
Immediately, Cui Geng and Li Xian urged the horses out of the camp, Huang Youwei was on the left, Feng Changqing was on the right, and each held a giant shield to protect them.
Cui Geng asked, "Is it General Lu Wulu on the other side?" Today you stopped the official and the king of Luling, but you don't know what you want? β
"Hehe, why do you knowingly ask Cui Shushu? In a word, let go of King Luling and his family, Lu Mou has never happened today. Otherwise,. I'll kill you like bandits!" β
"It seems that General Lu is going to die for Wu Sansi?" Cui Geng raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, right?" β
"Lu is full of food alone, the whole family is not hungry, and there is no family?"
"Uh......" Cui Geng was blocked by a shrunken chicken nest neck, so he had to change his angle and said: "I'm afraid that even Wu Sansi himself is not willing to form such a bloody feud with the Li family, right?" Please think twice about General Lu! β
"Hmph, what does King Liang Chitose think, it doesn't matter. I have received the great favor of King Liang, and I just want to solve it for him, and it is not appropriate to take the trouble directly! β
"In this way, no matter whether the official lets go or not, your surname Lu will kill the king of Luling?"
Lu Wu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right!" surnamed Cui, to be honest, the combat power of your subordinates can't enter the eyes of someone Lu, I just don't want to kill more! β
"Oh? Is it? I can't say it, we can only do it! β
Cui Geng understands that if King Luling dies here, not only will he not complete the task assigned by Wu Zetian, but he will also be scolded by the people of the world, so to speak, his future will be ruined. So far, I can only carry it to the end to see if I can insist on the arrival of reinforcements!
Li Xian heard the conversation between Cui Geng and Lu Wu clearly, and said: "Cui's writings are loyal and unparalleled, and this king is even moved." It's just that the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great...... Or don't make meaningless sacrifices, right? β
Cui Geng's heart moved, and he said: "King Luling can't trust Weichen's subordinates? β
"Alas...... Good life, evil death, human nature, this is no wonder of them. β
"Good life and bad death? Not really! β
Cui Genglang said loudly to the four sides: "Everyone, now that the enemy is outnumbered, do you want to steal your life, or sacrifice your life for righteousness?" β
Luo Bingwang clenched his fists and said, "Didn't Lao Wei say it just now?" The court has been raising soldiers for a hundred years, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and fighting for righteousness and death, just now! β
"Yes, sacrificing one's life for righteousness is now!" Men, women, and children shouted in unison.
This is not to say that everyone has such a high consciousness, but, first, the Freemasons are Xu Jingye's hardcore subordinates, and they really want to succeed against Zhou Futang and correct themselves and Xu Jingye. Second, and most importantly, their identities cannot withstand investigation.
If it fails, sooner or later the government will find out the identity of Xu Jingye's remnants, and go to the vegetable market, including their families! Therefore, there is only one way to go to the dark.
But the problem is that Li Xian doesn't know these two reasons!
He was moved to tears, and said, "You are all great loyal ministers! And now, the king has nothing to say. If this king is unfortunate today, then of course everything is over. But if the lonely king escapes, he will definitely share the wealth with the kings in the future! β
"I am willing to die for the prince!"
The people agreed in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
Lu Wu naturally heard the changes in Li Xian's camp and sneered: "The morale is not bad. However, in this world, it is not just morale that can be accomplished, and in the end, it is your own strength that determines everything. Brothers, listen to my orders and attack with all your troops! β
"Whoa!"
The three thousand army put up a formation, won in unison, and urged the crotch ~ to get off the horse, and they were about to drum down the rabble in front of them!
