Chapter seven hundred and eighty second: the battle of life and death
In Luoyang City, large-scale army gatherings have begun.
The Jinyiwei has become a mess here.
After the incident, the Jinyiwei changed all into regular clothes. No one was on duty in the flying fish suits anymore. The office locations began to be changed. There was a plan before, which was also the rule formulated by the Jinyiwei. Once there was a turmoil in the capital, they would work at the new address. At the same time, the Liss began to observe the movements in various military camps.
Immediately afterwards, the military officers of the Jinyiwei who received the news were walking fast in this messy street. They were wearing military uniforms from the Beijing camp. At this time, the capital was in chaos. There were officers and soldiers everywhere, but no one stopped them. Then, the people encountered the troops from the Warriors camp halfway from the school to the palace.
call……
Qianhu Zhao Xi shouted: "I want to see Duke Ku..."
Then, he appeared in front of Chen Kaizhi and bowed down: "Duke the country, King Zhao has rebelled."
All of this was almost expected.
King Zheng rebelled. No matter what the result was, King Zhao could not escape. His personality would definitely be stolen and follow him. Anyway, he would die all the time, so it would be better to lead everyone to a path of hope.
"What else is there?" Chen Kaizhi stared at the thousand households.
Zhao Xi said: "The Central Army Camp has also left the camp. The Left Camp, the Forward Camp and other troops are all dispatched, but the Right Camp still remains unmoved, as if they are waiting and watching. In addition, there are many guards, with a total of 30,000 people. There is no news for the rest of the army for the time being... However... I heard that there were also shouts of killing in the palace!"
"In the palace?" Chen Kaizhi frowned, and he felt a little worried.
There are some Zhao Wang's followers in the palace, which is reasonable, but there is actually a shout-out for killing, which means that the scale will not be too small.
In addition, it was beyond Chen Kaizhi's expectation that King Zhao could gather so many soldiers.
He smiled coldly: "In the past, he was afraid of being a mouse. He always thought he could still wait patiently for His Majesty to become an adult. Now, he is determined, so that's good. Today, let's see who will win."
He pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist and seemed extremely calm, then asked: "Where is King Zhao now?"
"In the East City, people gathered and said that they sent people to summon King Zheng's cavalry camp."
Dongshi is some distance from the palace.
Since we were determined to rebel, it was naturally impossible to order each battalion to attack the palace city in a swarm. We must first gather troops and then surround the palace city and attack wildly.
Chen Kaizhi looked into the sky from afar. The rebels gathered almost temporarily, but suddenly they were out of order. They were afraid that it would take some time to gather together.
He nodded: "No need to explore again, find a place and hide."
"Yes." Zhao Xishen looked at Chen Kaiyi. After all, the Jinyiwei was not a real armed force, and such a bad war had almost no place to use it.
He seemed a little worried. He was only a thousand people, and it is said that the majority were new recruits, tens of thousands of Jing camps, which were strong and powerful. Although the other Jing camps were still in control, they might not be the remnants of King Zhao. I thought they could not count on them. As for what happened in the palace, only God knew. He couldn't help but say, "Master, please take care of yourself."
Chen Kaizhi nodded at him.
In fact, behind him, Chen Rang and other new recruits were also very angry. When they heard that King Zhao had rebelled with tens of thousands of people, they all looked like earth. After all, they had never experienced any situations, and now they were so arrogant that they were all standing stupidly.
The Beijing camp was replaced by military horses from border towns. Most of them had been on the battlefield and were in time for training. Even with the imperial guards, King Zhao was still crowded with power.
Chen Kaizhi said sternly: "Now that King Zhao is treason, since you all know that the matter is now, you can only fight to the death to fight the king. You have both old soldiers from the Warriors camp and children of the royal family. The country and the country of Chen are in turmoil. Today, I will kill the thieves with me!"
He drew out his sword and shouted to everyone: "Go to the palace immediately."
"go ahead!"
The veterans began to march without expression. Although Chen Rang and other new recruits had a look of earth, the Warriors' camp had strict discipline and could only follow the large army at the moment.
Luoyang Palace was built against the mountain, so there were only three gates, two of which were each set up with urns, so it was the most difficult to attack. Only Zhengding Gate had a slightly weaker defense, which was not strict in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the palace by the ministers.
At this time, the Luoyang Palace was obviously facing a great enemy. More than 6,000 imperial guards on duty appeared on the city tower, and other imperial guards who were not on duty could not gather for the moment.
When Chen Kaizhi and others arrived at the palace gate, someone called the door, and the guards on the city seemed suspicious and said loudly: "The capital is in turmoil, and we are ordered to hold on and dare not open the door."
It is honest to not dare to open the door. Once the door is opened, God knows who is rushing in.
It is better to be cautious at this time. You can't leave everyone with a way. If you rush in and rebel, you will be bloody.
Chen Kaizhi understood the hearts of these people very well, so he was not angry, but said very seriously: "I am Chen Kaizhi, King Zhao is back, please open the door quickly."
Finally, someone poked his head out. It was Mu Xu, the governor of Yulin Guard. Mu Xu stared at Chen Kaizhi for a long time: "Is it Chen Kaizhi?"
“That’s right.”
Mu Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Open the door."
There seemed to be a military general behind him and hesitated: "Governor..."
"Open the door!" Mu Xu had a blue face. Obviously, he had known Chen Kaizhi's identity, but at this time, he did not make any statement.
Finally, someone put down the suspension bridge, and the palace gate opened immediately.
Chen Kaizhi brought people into the palace.
As soon as he left the door, he saw Mu Xu pressing the hilt of the sword waiting at the entrance. Chen Kaizhi glanced at Mu Xu and was about to salute him. Mu Xu said anxiously: "Enter the city quickly, but the situation in the capital is out of control. Come on, go up to the city tower and say."
Chen Kaizhi looked back at the guard behind him. The guards understood and immediately shouted: "Step into the palace quickly, step into the palace quickly."
Chen Kaizhi and Mu Xu went up the city tower together. Mu Xu immediately said, "A small rebellion occurred in the palace not long ago. Fortunately, it was suppressed in time and killed more than 70 rebels. However... there are only more than 5,000 imperial guards in the palace, but there are three palace gates that lead to the harem. There are two places to guard. There are serious shortages of manpower. None of the soldiers outside the city can trust them now. The empress has a few confidants in the Beijing camp, but today's affairs are too urgent. Even if they bring troops, they dare not let them rashly enter the palace, for fear that they can't count on it."
He stared at Chen Kaizhi deeply. In fact, just two months ago, when Queen Mother Mu told Mu Xu about the news, Mu Xu was a little incredible, but he did not rush to recognize Chen Kaizhi, but just secretly observed Chen Kaizhi: "If it weren't for the Warriors Camp, to be honest, I really wouldn't dare to put it in the palace. You also understand that even the imperial guards in the palace may not be credible, let alone other soldiers."
Chen Kai nodded deeply. This is the core of power. Whoever occupys this place is the king. Under such temptation, especially in such turmoil, it is not easy to let people enter with confidence.
Mu Xu knew his identity and knew that he was his own person, so he dared to let him enter the palace.
Chen Kaizhi nodded to Mu Xu: "Governor Mu said so much. Now is an extraordinary time, so this is the only way. The Warriors Camp can defend this city gate and will never fail."
Mu Xu looked at Chen Kaizhi deeply. Seeing that Chen Kaizhi was calm and calm, he gradually felt a little relieved. He couldn't help but become more interested in this nephew, so he suddenly lowered his voice.
"Kaizhi, I know your identity. Now, since you know it is an extraordinary time, if there is a real mistake in the palace..." He hesitated for a moment, put his mouth in Chen Kaizhi's ear and said in a low voice.
"There is a secret passage in the palace that was built when Emperor Taizu Gao. Ordinary people don't know about it. You took your mother and queen out there. I have arranged a confidant person there to ensure that you are safe. King Zhao has been in charge of many years and has too many followers. It's okay for him to be fine. Now he is determined, but he is afraid that there are many good fortunes."
Chen Kaizhi was slightly stunned. Seeing Mu Xu speaking seriously and looking concerned, he couldn't help but feel good about Mu Xu. He couldn't help but look up at Mu Xu and asked solemnly: "What about uncle?"
Mu Xu sneered: "At this time, what else can it be? Someone will delay the rebel time. If my uncle doesn't suppress it, the imperial guards will immediately scatter. They can be delayed for a while, and they must be explained here. Fortunately, I have arranged my wife and children in the village. If you have the chance, take them to find a way to escape as soon as possible. But I have to go to Shu Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, I have..."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled: "It's time for this, only the death battle is the only way to fight to the death. I brought the Warriors camp. I won't run away. If they live, I will live. If they die, I will die. Uncle, don't say much, live and die together!"
Mu Xu hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He laughed and patted Chen Kaizhi on the shoulder: "The rebels have not arrived yet. You should hurry up and go to the palace, ride a horse, and meet the empress dowager. You should always meet you. Anyway, it's time now, and there are not so many rules, so you can hurry up."
Chen Kaizhi smiled, but couldn't help thinking in his heart that if this uncle knew that the disaster was caused by himself, he would not know what he would think, and he would definitely... he would want to kill himself.
However... it seems that King Zhao's strength is beyond Chen Kaizhi's expectations. He originally thought that although King Zhao had many followers and confidants, there may not be many who were truly willing to rebel with him, but now it seems that it still far exceeds his imagination.
King Zhao’s strength cannot be underestimated, but it actually has a trend of responding to it.
