Chapter 1063 1064 [The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life] (1)
The explosion in Nanxun Palace not only shocked the people in the palace, but also spread to the entire Kyoto.
Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, who was reining in the troops of the garrison, looked solemn. He could only send people to investigate and inquire, suppressing the worries in his heart and reorganizing the defense line. When Luo Huanzhang stopped attacking the city in the South Camp, the rebels outside the East City also began to let go.
To slow down the offensive, after leaving a certain amount of troops for defense, he gathered all the reserve forces and the Xicheng soldiers who had withdrawn into the city, and formed a defensive formation southwest of the palace, next to the Forbidden Army's position.
Fortunately, Gu Liang arrived in time and took some of the pressure off of him.
Compared with the panic on the court's side, the morale of the rebels who had broken into the Xicheng area was high.
Unlike the generals in the southern camp who were always a little uneasy, the generals at all levels in the western camp of the Beijing army were all Wang Pingzhang's confidants. Their loyalty to him had long exceeded their loyalty to the emperor and the court. What's more, there were drastic changes in the palace.
Now is the best time to change the day.
Once the sixth prince ascends the throne, power and wealth will be at their fingertips.
No one can refuse such a temptation under the premise that substantial rebellion has been made.
In the middle of the Chinese army's formation, Liu Zhi was always looking in the direction of the palace, with pain and madness in his eyes.
When the fourth prince Liu Zan stirred up troubles, he did not participate impulsively. When the eldest son and the second eldest son competed for the crown prince, he was also low-key and invisible. But this does not mean that he is indifferent to the chair, otherwise he would not have made friends with the courtiers in the first place.
, let alone use brothel business like Liyuan to make money for themselves.
North of Kyoto, above the official road.
He paused, stared in the direction of Kyoto, and said with great awe: "Although His Majesty is not a martial arts genius, nor does he have extraordinary military talents, he is the emperor of Daliang, and his eyes are never limited to Kyoto."
That was when Pei Yue was planning to build Xiangyun. Li Bingzhong's eldest grandson, Li Zijun, sent his masters to ambush the roadside. After the incident was exposed, he was interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. Liu Zhi went to the scene in person to put pressure on Gao Qiu, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Li Zijun colluded with the swordsman of Xiwu.
Before the incident was exposed, he tried to support Li Zijun.
Su Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely not let Pei Yue take risks easily. Moreover, not only the Longbow Army entered Beijing this time, guess why the Han political advisor did not leave to return to Beijing after the peace talks were reached? What if?
My guess is correct. At this time, Han Shenzheng should be on his way back with an elite southern army. Maybe the leader of the army is Puding Marquis Chen Huan. The name of the escort is actually a rescue. This is a prepared strategy.
"
It seems that he came forward because he wanted to make friends with Li Bingzhong, but in fact, if we dig deeper, it is not difficult to see that he and Wang Pingzhang have a long history of friendship.
They are the Longbow Camp, which has the highest combat power among the four battalions in the Western Territory.
…
After being squeezed by Pei Yue, Liu Zhi got out in time and became more low-key and tolerant from then on.
The coach is Nan'an Hou Suwu, who has good relations with Qiyun Hou Yinwei, who now guards Hucheng under the holy will.
When the siege battle enters a tense stage, if Pei Yue leads the elite and brave Beiwei battalion into the battlefield from the flank, although it may not be possible to break into the central army, there is no absolute truth in this world.
Liu Zhi took a few deep breaths and said coldly: "Wei Guogong, even if we take the palace, it will be difficult to deal with those high-ranking civil servants."
Looking at Liu Zhi, who had tears in his eyes, Wang Pingzhang lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, when success or failure is at stake, you must not be soft-hearted. As long as the overall situation is determined, Your Highness can naturally rectify the Queen's name."
No one knows why this army appeared in the capital, not even the vast majority of the soldiers in the army. A small number of them returned to the capital in accordance with the commander's orders to implement the rotation policy, while the rest were ordered to leave the camp.
Pull along, proceed along the northern border of Lingzhou, and turn southeast after arriving somewhere in the north of Dengzhou.
The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, green and verdant, and there are large flat fields between the mountains.
Thinking back to Pei Yue's past achievements, a thought that could send chills all over his body suddenly emerged.
Gu Mang was straightforward by nature. When he heard this, he quickly calmed down and said: "Master Hou, how dare you have any resentment, but you also know that my father loves his daughter the most, but my little sister is focused on Pei Yue. If I can't keep an eye on him in person...
...You should have heard about Pei Yue's character. He will never care whether a rich man cannot sit down in court."
Before leaving Dengzhou and entering the capital, Su Wu summoned his generals, read out the Holy Emperor's secret edict in public, and took out the tiger talisman for troop deployment. Only then did everyone realize that it was the Western Camp of the Beijing Army that might have evil intentions, and His Majesty mobilized the most powerful of the Western Army in advance.
Strong longbow troops came to protect them.
Northwest of Kyoto, more than thirty miles away.
In the middle army, Su Wu looked at the depressed general next to him and said gently: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but the Marquis of Zhongshan said that he only needs two thousand cavalry to assist the northern camp, and the main longbow cavalry must remain.
Next, block the rebels' escape route. If you are really angry, don't settle accounts with me and the Marquis of Zhongshan. No matter how noble he is, he is still your brother-in-law."
About a stick of incense later, groups of well-dressed soldiers appeared and moved forward steadily.
Wang Pingzhang said calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Hearing the loud noise coming from the palace, Liu Zhi was not overjoyed at first, because the noise not only meant that Emperor Kaiping was assassinated, but also meant that the queen mother who loved him most in the world passed away.
From the beginning to the end, the person Wang Pingzhang supported was not the fourth prince with great ambitions and talents, nor the second prince with a rough temperament, but the silent and cautious Liu Zhi.
As for the relationship between him and Wang Pingzhang, it goes back a long, long time.
Wang Jiu
He would never adopt the strategy of being beaten on the spot. At that time, the words "Bei Weiying" suddenly popped into his mind.
After entering the capital, the Longbow Army stopped covering their tracks and accelerated their advance.
As time went by, the number of soldiers increased and gradually spread all over the mountains and plains. It is roughly estimated that there are at least 20,000 soldiers.
The two have never been openly related, and the only contact they had over the years was related to Pei Yue.
The young general is Gu Mang, the third son of Gu Liang. He was trained in the Western Army when he first joined the army, and is now the cavalry commander of the Longgong Battalion.
Liu Zhi turned his head and glanced at him, then gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order, defeat the imperial army and enter the palace."
Su Wu sighed lightly: "The Duke of Wei is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men. Xie Xiao and others from the Southern Zhou Dynasty are not worthy to be compared with him, but he should not regard your majesty as an opponent."
Who would have expected that Pei Yue and his five thousand cavalry could defeat the Southern Zhou camp and directly break up Fang Xie Xiao's Chinese army formation?
Gu Mang was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion: "In that case, why would Wang Pingzhang dare to take action?"
…
Suddenly, a group of birds fluttered out of the mountain forest, and not long after, a team of hundreds of riders appeared. After confirming that there was no danger here, several knights in the team fired loud arrows towards the rear.
Therefore, Wang Jiuxuan did not dare to delay at all and asked Tan Sheng to lead the main force of cavalry to block the North Camp army that was going south to support them. He personally led three thousand troops back quickly.
These three thousand cavalry are the core of the Xiying Cavalry Guard. Even if they face the world-famous Beiwei Camp, he can still defeat the opponent with the advantage of their strength.
Looking at the long low mountains on both sides of the official road ahead, Wang Jiuxuan looked cold and determined.
At that time, the sky was bright.
