Chapter 244: Drive away the jackals, and come back to the tigers and leopards

The flames burned red in the night sky, and the black smoke swept through the wind. The fire ignited the entire Yushan military camp, and the fighting sounded boiling. The figures of people ran around in the fire. The arrows with flames kept falling like rain. The soldiers on the fire screamed and rushed out of the tent. Then they were killed by the cavalry rushing over. The bodies on the ground spread out, and the enemies rushing into the military camp were surrounded.

The gate was burning, and the archer's body hung upside down on the edge of the whistle tower. A team of cavalry escorted several people to slowly walk into the gate. During the battle, a cavalry rushed over with the enemy generals and threw the people to the ground. "The last general Wang Yanzhang, captured the Yushan Army's envoy Yang Shouxin here!"

"King Dongping... King Dongping..." Yang Shouxin rolled up and got up. He had no idea where the iron helmet had been removed. He looked at the opposite side with a disheveled hair, "I am willing to surrender... I am willing to surrender, and I can also worship you as my adoptive father."

The riders entering the gate looked at each other and laughed. Zhu Wen's horse slowly came out. The flames reflected on his face. He pursed his lips and looked down at the enemy general who had struggled to get up from the ground. He snorted coldly and raised his hand: "Are you a father to be my adopted son? He pulled it down and cut it off to avoid being obsessed."

"The King of Dongping is kind...you are kind, let's keep your promise..."

On the ground, Yang Shouxin bowed and kowtowed, and Zhu Wen waved his hand impatiently: "Niu Cunjie!" In the voice, a burly and majestic general behind him jumped down and rushed to the front. With a clang, he drew his sword and slashed Yang Shouxin's neck. His head, which was opening his mouth and talking, landed on the ground.

"I'm dying and talking so much!" A general named Niu Cunjie kicked the man's head away and landed in a burning tent in the distance. Danhou relaxed and laughed and returned to Zhu Wen's horse and returned to the team.

Immediately, Zhu Wen led the generals to step into the military camp on the headless corpse on the ground. At this time, the battle in the camp was over. A large number of soldiers from the Yushan military camp chose to surrender and were sent to destroy the fire in the camp.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have killed Yang Shouxin. If you borrow his hand from him and win over Yang Fugong, your adopted sons from all over the country will be able to surrender after entering Chang'an. It will not be too late to get rid of the eunuchs after being brought together."

The speaker was Jing Xiang, a scholar riding a horse on the right of Zhu Wen. Like Xie Tong, he was also a scholar who had not passed the Chang'an imperial examination and was in Bianzhou. Later, he was appreciated by Zhu Wen in Bianzhou. At that time, Xie Tong had already gone to Huazhou and had no one to make plans around him, so he attracted him to ask for advice. Zhu Wen was still hesitant when he sent troops to Chang'an this time. After Jing Xiang analyzed the pros and cons, he decided to let Ge Congzhou be the commander, Yang Shihou be the general, and Wang Yanzhang be the vanguard. He attacked Chang'an with the primary goal.

I thought I would encounter a slightly harder resistance, but I didn't expect that in half an hour, more than 10,000 soldiers in Yushan collapsed. Zhu Wen looked at the surrendered figures, his eyes swept over the surrounding generals, and looked at Chang'an.

He is no longer the Zhu Wen who came to Chang'an. He is the adviser behind him, Xie Tong, Jing Xiang, and a group of generals such as Ge Congzhou, Yang Shihou, Wang Yanzhang, Liu Xiu, Niu Cunjie, Pang Shigu, Zhang Quanyi, Wang Chongshi, Wang Jingren... etc., and he can stand alone, with as many as 150,000 soldiers. Looking at the world, no one dares to underestimate the thief of Dangshan now.

"Hmph, I got the authority from the eunuch, which is ridiculous. If I want to take it, I will go to Chang'an to ask the emperor for it!" In the fire, Zhu Wen narrowed his eyes and said with a majestic voice: "Send an order to quickly recruit prisoners and follow our troops to Chang'an--"

"yes!"

The generals bowed and shouted in unison.

Not long after, 70,000 troops and nearly 80,000 surrendered soldiers rushed to the night and spread to Chang'an.

At the same time, Li Ye, who was receiving congratulations from all officials, was taking people to patrol the section of the imperial city. Looking at the red half of the night sky in the north, his face was also a little shocked.

"When will Li Shunjie be so quick..."

"Your Majesty, the general has been out of the city for less than half an hour... there should be the soldiers of the King of Dongping outside." Liu Chongwang whispered that he had only told all the plans to rescue the emperor at this time. After all, if there was no foreign aid, if the rescue failed, all officials would be unable to escape. There were soldiers of the King of Dongping outside, and then the eunuchs would throw themselves into the rat and dare not act randomly.

"Liu Xiang has made good intentions and I will be rewarded in the future."

Only then was able to escape from difficulties. Li Ye was not angry in front of all the civil and military officials. How could he not know his temper in recent years? He was probably even more terrifying than those eunuchs.

The emperor paused, and the emperor turned around and continued, "The King of Dongping paid tribute to Chang'an, and his heart was expressive, but the palace was in chaos and was not suitable for foreign troops to enter, so as not to disturb the people and cause trouble. He ordered the Chang'an gates not to let anyone come in unless there was a handwritten order!"

After the words came, under the city wall, Dong Yanbi, the commander of the Shence Army, led his troops up, "Report to Your Majesty, a cavalry entered Chang'an, saying that it was under the command of the King of Dongping."

"What..." Li Ye's face changed drastically. He had not recovered from frightened by the eunuch before. When he heard this news, he became a little dazed again, holding on to the walls. "Have you entered the city? I passed my order and immediately ordered Li Shunjie to lead his troops back to Chang'an and stationed in Chunming Gate! The Longwu Army guarded each other..."

"Report—"

Below, the voice came again, "Report to Your Majesty, the King of Dongping has led 80,000 troops and has nearly two miles from Chunming Gate, and his generals have guarded the city gate."

At this point, the civil and military officials in the city didn't know what happened, and they looked at Prime Minister Liu Chongwang, whose eyes widened and stomped on the ground.

"The wolfish king of Dongping is ambition... Dong Thief of Han!!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal and do not know my ambitions. Your Majesty is in today's situation and my fault..." Liu Chongwang almost cried out, "I am a sinner!"

As soon as he rescued the emperor from the wolf's den, he pushed the tiger group forward again. He was so sad that he was so embarrassed that he shouted "sinner" and knelt down to Li Ye. He knelt down and kowtowed to Li Ye. He worked together, without waiting for everyone to react, climbed up the wall and jumped straight down the city. A "bang" sound came from afar from the darkness, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"Liu Xiang!!" Li Ye leaned over and shouted sadly at the wall, gritting his teeth and crying, "I didn't blame you, why can't I think so hard!!"

Qin Huaimian, Zhou Chenghui and other civil and military officials came to comfort me. The emperor took a deep breath, "Immediately, take someone to Chunming Gate and pass on my order to King Dongping. If he wants to step into Chang'an, he will first take Yang Fugong's head to see me, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter the city. I will not see him!"

Yang Fugong fled out of the city and had long disappeared. The civil and military officials immediately understood Li Ye's intention. With this imperial edict, if Zhu Wen could not kill Yang Fugong, he would have no conditions to enter the city. If he forced himself to do so, he would be a traitor. This reputation would be a bad person.

Of course, if it was like Longyou before, just a few days after coming in and retreating after the emperor returned to court, it wouldn't matter.

The fast horse rushed out of the imperial city and arrived at Chunming Gate. The general guarding the city gate had been replaced by a general named Wang Chongshi. This person was one of the few powerful generals under Zhu Wen's account, no worse than Wang Yanzhang. After seeing the imperial edict, he did not think much about it and asked someone to let him go. Then he passed it to Zhu Wen, who was less than half a mile into Chang'an.

"Haha... Just an imperial edict, just pretend that I have not received it, don't worry about it..."

"Your Highness, no!" Jing Xiang hurriedly stopped it, "How can no one know about the imperial edict being handed over in front of all the civil and military personnel? It's not difficult for Yang Fugong to catch it. You might as well try it. If you really can't find it, it's not too late to force yourself to go to Chang'an. Anyway, Chunming Sect has been guarded by Wang Chongshi, and your Highness can enter this prosperous giant city at any time."

"Well, then let's listen to you."

Soon, hundreds of scouts scattered out, searching in all directions with the moonlight centered on Chang'an, and searching in all directions. In the second half of the night, he found Yang Fugong and others who were resting in the nearby forest. They fought for a moment and sent a signal. In less than an hour, a large number of cavalry rushed towards this side.

Yang Fugong was both timid. Several confidants with outstanding martial arts fought with the entangled detective cavalry for a while, and then escorted him to flee in panic. The three directions of southeast, north and north were soon blocked, so he had to turn his direction and look west towards Fengxiang.

"Ga!Ga! Damn beast, run faster again!"

The horse whip was piping wildly, and Yang Fugong turned around from time to time. In the darkness behind, there were stretches of torches spreading in the hands of pursuers. He kept scolding his mounts, and the horses were also rare good horses. It was the biggest limit to running a hundred miles overnight without any bleed.

"General, there are also pursuers there-" At this time, there were only two confidants following him, one of whom pointed to the road ahead, and there were soldiers and horses blocking them. There were also fires, and all the cavalry were leaping with their guns and horses, as if they were waiting for him.

"It's over..."

Yang Fugong climbed into despair on his face. He was about to turn his horse's head and rushed to the forest next to him. He suddenly saw that there were still many carriages in the cavalry. He was active and immediately understood that if the pursuers were going to have vehicles to accompany him?

Looking closer, a figure on the chariot looked familiar. The moment he approached the horse, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shangshu Ling, I am Yang Fugong!!"

The knight who had originally tied the bow was stunned when he heard the call from the visitor. Fu Daozhao also looked at the figure in the car, "Sir, there are still pursuers behind this man... If he saves him, he will inevitably have a fierce battle."

Geng Qing didn't say anything, but walked off the carriage and came to the front of the team. When Yang Fugong, who was riding a horse, saw Geng Qing coming, he slowly got off the horse with a reins. Without waiting for the horse to stop, he hurriedly dismounted and fell. He didn't care about the embarrassment and pain, and rushed over.

"Shangshu Ling, my servant Yang Fugong, I hope to save my life!"

The eunuch stumbled and approached, and across from his vision, the young man standing among the two knights smiled, but raised his hand to the side like a servant, as if he was holding something.

"Shangshu Ling..."

Taking a few steps closer, Yang Fugong shouted happily, Geng Qing raised his hand and pointed it over. The heavy object in his hand sounded loudly, and the flames exploded in the air.

The eunuchs who were rushing to the air into sieve in an instant.

"My flame palm is becoming more and more proficient."

Geng Qing blew the smoke coming out of the six holes with a dark face and smiled. He looked at the corpse lying on the ground and threw the firearm to Dachun. "The useless thing should be disposed of."

In his words, several Longyou knights shot out their bows and crossbows, nailing the eunuchs to death. Then, Geng Qing took his hands and walked to the corpse and stood still, keeping a smile on his face to look at the group of cavalry chasing him.

The pursuers came over and the general raised his gun and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? Hand over the body of the castrated thief."

"Haha...the general of King Dongping?"

Geng Qing looked at him and had no intention of moving. He just spoke at the back and his voice raised, "Let the King of Dongping come over and ask me for it. You are not qualified!"
