Chapter 300: The Battle of Jingjing Begins
Today's Yunluo crossing the magpie bridge should not be veined and long.
The family actually likes to open the makeup mirror and wear needles under the moon to worship nine nights.
On the fourth day of the seventh month of July, there are three days left to be the seventh daughter's day in the seventh month of July, and the beggar will be one of the most important festivals in the boudoir, and it is necessary to prepare melon and fruit gifts to sacrifice for the Weaver Girl, praying for ingenuity and good marriage.
When enjoying the cool at night, women from all over the world will use colorful thin threads to thread needles into the seven-hole needle to the moon and wind, and there are also all kinds of games.
Qixi Festival is not just a festival for the daughter's family, the man has to dry the books and clothes on this day, the woman has to plant and ask for children, the child will celebrate the birthday of the cow, the scholar wants to worship the Kui Xing, in addition, there are various different customs and habits such as eating Qiaoguo, dyeing nails, tying Qiaogu, washing hair, etc., which can be described as one of the traditional Chinese festivals, and later generations evolved into Chinese Valentine's Day, which is worthy of the name.
Every year, Xu Hao will accompany his family to have fun, and when he is interested, he also plays with thread and needle, of course, every year the ranking is countdown, and picking up the thread and sewing clothes can never be compared with girls.
There must be no leisure this year, and at this moment Xu Hao is staring at Beiping City, waiting for King Yan to raise troops.
Zhu Gaochi looked nervously into the distance, even though there were icebergs in the building, he was still sweating, and his white and chubby face was covered with beads of sweat.
Xu Hao said: "A few days ago, my mother complained that she didn't let my father make a long history, and there will be nothing to say after today." ”
Zhu Gaochi sighed: "You kid is too shrewd, the left envoy Deng Yong was imprisoned in the capital, and the right envoy Ge Cheng was decided, your mother naturally praised you too late." ”
Xu Hao squinted his eyes and said, "I hope Xu Wen will do it himself, otherwise my family will have to handle the funeral." ”
Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "After tonight, I don't know how many families will cry and how many will perish." ”
"Then you go and persuade your uncle not to kill people indiscriminately." Xu Hao frowned.
Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly: "How dare I persuade my father? I can't even fight on horseback, and I embarrass the old man, and my father is disgusted when he sees me. ”
At this moment, Beiping City arrived with the edict of the imperial court. Zhang Yu and Xie Gui immediately led people to surround the Yanwang Mansion, according to the custom, the prince made a mistake to investigate his Changshi responsibility first, and asked Zhu Di to hand over all the officials and captains below the Changshi, intending to make the Yanwang Mansion unusable.
After not seeing any movement inside for a long time, Ni Liang said in a deep voice: "Warning with arrows." ”
At the sound of an order, a hundred archers bent their bows and arrows in unison, and the rain of arrows shot towards the palace, and in the humming and shuddering scream, the arrows without blades were released three times in a row. It can be regarded as a warning to the Yan Wangfu if it does not open the door again. or try to resist by leaning on the outer wall, and the next round will be the real arrow, and then the rocket will be below.
Xu Wen, who was leading fifty knights on horseback, was on the left side, unconsciously licked his dry lips, and said to the soldiers below, "Give me the bow and arrow." ”
Taking the bow and arrow, Xu Wen swooped out towards the gate, and the arrow was firmly nailed to the gate, "The people inside hurry up and open the door." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled boom. The vermilion palace door was slowly pushed open, and Changshi Ge Cheng strode out and said loudly: "The prince has invited the adults into the mansion." ”
After finishing speaking, Ge Cheng shook his head slightly, and Zhang Yu snorted coldly: "Please come out and receive the order." ”
Suddenly, another official came out of it. tremblingly walked up to Zhang Hao, handed over a roster with both hands, and said, "The names of all the people in the palace are on it, and they will come out immediately and let them fall." As for His Royal Highness's reluctance to be humiliated in public, he also invited His Excellency to enter the palace to announce the decree. ”
Ge Cheng hurriedly said: "I'm afraid there is fraud, adults must not guard against it." ”
Zhang Hao was a little unsure. looked coldly at the three or four hundred people who slowly walked out of the palace, and ordered: "You take the list and check them one by one to see if everyone has come out." ”
"Yes." Ge Cheng took the list and walked over, and the official smiled bitterly: "How dare you deceive the court and the lord, don't dare." ”
Seeing this, the commander Xie Gui said to Zhang Xin: "Brother Zhang led two hundred soldiers into the mansion to search carefully, and be careful that there are swords hidden behind the wall. ”
Zhang Xin nodded and said, "I know." Immediately he led two hundred people into the palace.
Half an hour later, the people on Ge Chengyu's registration list were all there, and they were indeed about 100 palace officials and 300 school captains, in addition to forty or fifty adult eunuchs, Zhang Xin also came out to say that there were no soldiers and horses hidden in the front and back of the main hall.
Looking at the empty palace, Zhang Yu and Xie Gui glanced at each other, and in order to prevent accidents, they took Zhang Xin and other three hundred elite soldiers to the front hall.
Zhu Di was sitting alone on the golden chair in the hall, pointing to the watermelon in front of the table and said with a smile: "There is a watermelon sent by Xu Hao, and Yu Qing and the others will taste it together." ”
Zhang Yu and the others first respectfully saluted King Yan, and then Zhang Yu held up the bright yellow holy decree and said: "The prince's kindness has been received by the official, and the holy decree is also asked to kneel to receive the decree." ”
"You want me to kneel? Why? Zhu Di showed a sneer.
Zhang Hao said gloomily: "Could it be that the prince wants to resist the decree?" ”
Zhu Di's face was also gloomy, and he got up and scolded: "The people are still sympathetic to each other, but as relatives of the Son of Heaven, they are not compatible. His Majesty was deceived by villains such as Er, so that the Heavenly Family killed each other, violating the ancestral teachings of the ancestors. This king can't even save his life, so what can't be done in the world today? ”
Zhu Di stretched out his hand and grabbed a round turquoise watermelon and threw it to the ground, and as the red juice of the melon was torn apart, countless black-clothed and black-armored ambushes came out from the walls on both sides.
Without waiting for Zhang Yu, Xie Gui and the others to react, Zhang Xin, who was standing in front of the palace gate, slashed to death Ge Cheng who wanted to run out with a backhand, and said sharply: "Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed." ”
Outside the city, Xu Hao found at a glance that someone was waving a red flag at the highest point of Beishan, and knew that the city had already moved, so he ordered: "According to the plan, notify the generals of the guards to seize military power, seize important facilities such as granary roads, stabilize the place, strictly order that innocents are not allowed to be killed indiscriminately, and the officials who want to leave are allowed to leave." ”
In just half a tea time, hundreds of knights flew out of the Taoist temple, rolled up smoke and dust, and rode their horses towards the south, south, and northwest.
Zhu Gaochi sat on the chair like a deflated leather ball, and said with a wry smile: "It's finally here, alas! There is no escaping a usurper in the history books. ”
Xu Hao smiled: "Don't you know that history is written by the victors? If your father and son are good emperors, who will blame anything? ”
After speaking, Xu Hao strode down the stairs, and when he passed the hall, he gave a deep salute to Xu Da, who was sitting leisurely, and Xu Da smiled: "Go, if you don't experience the battlefield, you won't be a child of the Xu family."
Xu Hao smiled and straightened up and walked out of the door proudly. In the courtyard, Mu Hui and Mu Yi were waiting with a group of brothers.
Xu Hao stood on the steps and hugged his fists and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the brothers are willing to sacrifice their lives to follow Xu Hao, I am grateful, today Xu Hao will swear to follow Yanwang Kuangfu Sheji, our brothers should share the blessings and blessings when they are in trouble, if they violate this oath, they will be destroyed." ”
At the same time, the officers and soldiers guarding outside the palace gate did not hear the slightest shouting and killing inside, and they stood for a long time in the scorching heat, hot and thirsty. I can't help but relax.
Xu Wen suddenly smiled and suddenly became angry, raised his bow and arrow and shot it not far away, hitting the defenseless Ni Liang's left eye. Xu Wen shouted: "It's not good to have an ambush, go quickly." ”
Ni Liang covered his eyes in disbelief and fell to the ground, and then he was angry on the spot, Xu Wen rushed towards the middle of the official army with thirty knights, the sergeant hurriedly dodged away, the chickens and dogs jumped into a mess, and the three hundred captains of the Yanwang Mansion made a noise when they saw this. Scattered in all directions to snatch the blades in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and four or five hundred knights were also killed at the gate of the Yan Wang's Mansion.
Zhu Neng, who was wearing a helmet and armor, held a big knife, and stepped forward to kill Peng Er, the commander of the capital, and the tiger roared: "Zhu Neng is here." Those who descend do not kill. ”
Qiu Fu, Zhang Yu and other generals went straight to the officials, Yan Wang, Huwei, Pang Xing, Ding Sheng and others were all enemies of 100 people, like a group of tigers going down the mountain, killing people when they saw them. In the scream, the whole scene suddenly fell to one side, facing the 800 dead soldiers of the Yanwang Mansion with a rainbow, and nearly 3,000 Henan Tuntian soldiers were killed and injured as many as hundreds of people in a short time. Frightened, the soldiers threw away their weapons one after another, turned their heads and scattered.
When Zhu Di rode out, there were either dead corpses or people who knelt down and surrendered around the Yan Wangfu, and smiled at Zhang Hao, who was tied up with five flowers: "Who is the caged bird?" ”
Zhang Hao scolded: "Rebels and thieves." ”
Zhu Di sneered: "Take them down, read the ancestral teachings every day, and then reason with you when I go back." ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen palace officials ran over, led by Yu Fengchen and Du Qi, who were both virtuous and knowledgeable, and all of them knelt in front of Zhu Di's horse, crying and kowtowing: "The monarch can't be beared, Your Highness must not make mistakes again and again." ”
Du Qi shouted: "Women still know how to keep festivals for their husbands, and courtiers should also observe the festival of courtiers, and the prince is still too late to rein in the precipice." ”
Zhu Di's head was bruised, and he was immediately angered by his own people, Xu Wen Pegasus came over and said sharply: "Plug their mouths, a group of blind bastards." ”
Zhu Di's expression softened, and he said with a smile: "You Xu Wen have courage and knowledge, Xu Hao's strategy is unparalleled, one literature and one martial arts complement each other, and the Xu family has successors." Suddenly, Xu Wen's excited blood surged.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood, rode over, threw off his horse and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, the official army has closed the Nine Gate Urn City, if it is forcibly attacked, my troops will be insufficient." ”
Xu Wen shouted unbelievingly: "If you drive these surrendered pawns to go ahead, you don't believe that the officers and soldiers dare to shoot their comrades." ”
Zhu Di looked at Xu Wen with great appreciation, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, let the respected Tang Qianhu go." ”
Behind him, Yanshan avant-garde Zuo Qianhu Tang Yun, who was in his fifties, immediately took off a piece of armor and galloped out on his horse.
When Zhu Di followed with people, Xu Wen curiously watched the old general Tang Yun walking back and forth along the walls of the royal city, and no one on the city head shot a bow and arrow, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that Tang Yun was the oldest among the generals of the Yan Palace, and he had led countless soldiers with a very high prestige, and he was known for his faith in the army, and no one was unconvinced by his words, so the defenders did not release arrows.
Tang Yun shouted: "You and my siblings don't kill each other, now the court has issued an order for King Yan to control one side, you and the others hurry down and obey the orders of the palace, and the latter will be punished!" ”
Zhang Xin rode out of the horse, raised his head and shouted: "This matter is true, I am Zhang Xin, the commander of Beiping, and you and others obey the order to open the city gate." ”
The generals at all levels upstairs couldn't help but look at each other, at this moment, the political envoy Zhang Hao, the commander Xie Gui and other officials were not there, and the remaining civil officials were gone, so everyone had long lost their fighting spirit, and most of them had followed Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to fight, since General Tang and Lord Zhang had spoken, what else to resist?
At that moment, someone took the initiative to open the city gates, and seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Di ordered to attack the rest of the city gates while it was dark. (To be continued......)
