- Tomorrow will be the fifteenth day, and the moon over Chang'an tonight is close to full moon. Silver light shone down, and in the dark night, the procession outside the city could be vaguely seen from the tower of Chang'an City.
"Captain, a team has appeared outside the city. The number of people is unknown at the moment." In the urn at the north gate of Chang'an, a soldier was reporting the situation outside the city to the general guarding the north gate.
Although Chang'an City has summoned nearly twenty civilians, they can only serve as auxiliary soldiers and laborers. The four gates of Chang'an were still guarded by the elites led by the third auxiliary captain, while the north gate was still guarded by the right auxiliary captain Wang Jun.
"Come with me and take a look." Wang Jun stood up and said, without any change in expression on his face.
There were fires and torches burning on the Chang'an city tower. Huo Guang stood under the city tower and could see the crowds of people above the north gate. It seemed that because of his appearance, the north gate entered a state of war.
"Yinhua, let's begin" Huo Guang withdrew his gaze, holding the reins with one hand and resting the other on the hilt of the sword.
Zhao Yinhua nodded to Huo Guang, then lowered his head and took out a bamboo flute from his waist. Just under the moonlit Chang'an City Tower, Zhao Yinhua directly put the bamboo flute to his mouth and started playing.
The sound of the flute sounded softly, the sound became clearer and more mellow, making people feel like seeing plum blossoms falling. Zhao Yinhua played the famous song "Falling Plum Blossoms" at this time. No one knows why Huo Guang asked Zhao Yinhua to play this flute music at the North Gate of Chang'an at this time.
The sound of the flute in the silent night spread so far that even the North Gate Tower and Urn City could be clearly heard. The soldiers who were going back and forth nervously were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound of the flute outside the city. The right auxiliary captain Wang Jun was leading his generals and guards up the stone steps of the north gate. Suddenly the sound of a flute came into his ears. Wang Jun's expression changed and he couldn't help but stop.
Wang Jun froze on the spot, listening to the sound of the flute coming from outside the city. After more than ten breaths, he suddenly turned around and walked quickly down the city tower. He shouted loudly: "Command the entire army to line up, move away the horses, remove the swords and carts, lower the drawbridge and open the city gateOpen the city gate quickly"
No one knows why his captain would give such an order, but the North Gate Army has long been Wang Jun's confidant, and these soldiers will not hesitate to execute the order immediately. When Zhao Yinhua finished playing a song outside the city and before the bamboo flute was put back on his waist, the suspension bridge at the north gate of Chang'an began to slowly lower, and at the same time, the heavy city gate slowly opened.
"Follow me into the city." Huo Guang stood in front of the crowd and said calmly, then he tucked his horse under his belly and headed towards the north gate.
There are three thousand infantrymen waiting in formation in the North Gate Urn City at this moment. The three thousand people are like one body. If you look closely, you will find that these people are almost all breathing in unison. Anyone who sees this army will wonder how this army is trained to such an extent.
"My right auxiliary captain, Wang Jun, greets the Marquis" Huo Guang rode into Wengcheng first. As soon as he passed the north gate, Huo Guang saw a young general in armor kneeling in front of him.
"You are Yuanyou, right? I often hear Dongfang Shuo mention you. Even Tang Mei said that you are unique in training soldiers. When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary. Please get up quickly!" Huo Guang looked at the young man in front of him, and then looked at it again Looking at the military formation behind him, Huo Guang could tell with just one glance that this infantry was extraordinary. It was probably even less concessions than the imperial army beside the emperor.
"In this humble position, I dare not forget my teacher's teachings and the kindness of the Marquis. I am willing to charge into battle for the Marquis and never regret it!" Wang Jun knelt on the ground and said to Huo Guang from a distance.
"Follow me to Weiyang Palace. I want you to guard all the streets leading to Weiyang Palace." Huo Guang was still sitting on the horse, and his voice rang under the barbican.
"The last general takes orders." Wang Jun stood up suddenly, then turned around and strode towards his soldiers.
"The whole army listens to the order. Team A will guard the east gate of Weiyang Palace, Team B will guard the west gate, Team C will guard the south gate, and the rest will follow me to guard the north gate. Let's set off" Wang Jun's order was simple. Under his order, several teams of nearly a thousand people turned quickly in order, and there was only one sound every time a step fell.
Seeing the movements and atmosphere of this army, Huo Guang was slightly in a trance. Everything in front of him gave him a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.
Huo Guang shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind. He had more important things to do now. At this time, Huo Guang estimated that the news of his entry into the city must have spread to some people. I am afraid these people have already begun to deal with it. Now he must rush to Weiyang Palace as soon as possible to meet the person he still admires. .
The sound of Huo Guang's horse hooves and the neat footsteps of Wang Jun's infantry had already alarmed the people of Chang'an along the way. This time, he led his team and galloped directly past the galloping road. Huo Guang, who once only dared to lead a horse while being in the spotlight, now?He stepped on it without any scruples.
When Huo Guang had not left Wengcheng, news of his entry into Chang'an had already spread to several places, one of which was Prime Minister Liu Quyou. Liu Quyou always thought that Wang Jun was loyal to him. Only then did he realize that the right-hand captain turned out to be a chess piece that Huo Guang had buried long ago.
"Prepare your horses and go to the Beijun camp immediately." Liu Quyou ordered his subordinates and began to walk out. Huo Guang only has a thousand riders. Even if he adds thousands of people from the north gate, Huo Guang's power is still small in the huge city of Chang'an. Today's Northern Army camp is home to young men carefully selected from tens of thousands of civilians, and they are currently training in the Northern Army camp. This is currently the largest and strongest army in Chang'an City. Liu Qumo wanted to mobilize this army in his capacity as prime minister to compete with Huo Guang in the name of protecting Weiyang Palace.
"Master Marquis, Captain Youfu of the North Gate has opened the city gate to welcome Marquis Anyang into the city. Now he has marched towards Weiyang Palace, and the Prime Minister is heading to the Beijun camp." Sang Hongyang's loyal servant stood in Sang Hongyang's shadow. , lowering his head and recounting what happened outside.
"Prepare your horses, we will also go to the Beijun camp." Sang Hongyang tightened his collar and made the same decision as Liu Quya.
The silent city of Chang'an has been completely in chaos. The lights of the high-ranking houses are on, servants and guards are guarding their respective mansions, and the people are hiding in their homes with their doors closed and shivering. The Prince Wei Rebellion half a year ago is still vivid in my mind. During those days in Chang'an, corpses were strewn across the fields and blood flowed into rivers. Although there were no killing cries in Chang'an City at this moment, the constant sound of galloping horse hooves and the neat footsteps made the hearts of the people of Chang'an sink with each sound.
"Huo Guang has arrived at Weiyang North Tower? Are you sure you saw clearly?" In Zongzheng Liu Anguo's mansion, the octogenarian was sitting upright, asking a serious question to a warrior in front of him who was bending and holding a sword.
This warrior is not Liu Anguo's domestic servant, nor is he a subordinate of Zongzheng Temple, but his retainer, a truly strange person, the kind of warrior who can fly over walls and walk on flat ground.
"Although I'm a little far away, I'm sure that person is the emperor's eldest grandson. He hasn't changed from a year ago. I won't be mistaken." The sword-holding warrior replied affirmatively.
"Since it is really His Highness Changsun, let them go and tell me to close the door tightly and wait for the result!" Liu Anguo looked relaxed. After confirming that Liu Jin appeared, he chose to stay out of the matter and gave some instructions. Then he went back to sleep.
The same situation as Liu Anguo is happening in many high-level courtyards in Chang'an City. If a foreign enemy invades or there are really rebellious officials and traitors, these important officials of the Han Dynasty will never stay out of it with such a tacit understanding. But in the final analysis, tonight is just a battle for the succession of the throne. No matter whether the emperor's grandson and Huo Guang succeed or fail, Chang'an still belongs to the Han Dynasty, they are still important ministers of the Han Dynasty.
What¡¯s more important is that the news that Huo Guang¡¯s 80,000 troops are also defending Fushi reached Chang¡¯an yesterday. With this move, no one can truly define whether Huo Guang is a loyal minister or a rebellious minister?
Huo Guang's most successful thing was that when a powerful enemy invaded, he raised troops to clear the emperor in the name of the emperor's eldest grandson. He even contacted the representatives of the kings surnamed Liu, and only targeted a few people including the prime minister. The clan did not touch the interests of the courtiers.
The North Tower of Weiyang Palace is garrisoned by a thousand-man army. They belong to the Weiyang Palace Forbidden Army, but this army is also newly added. The original real Forbidden Army has been wiped out during the Prince Wei Rebellion.
This Beique Forbidden Army does not belong to the Southern Army led by Huo Shen, and their captain Huo Guang does not know them either. At this moment, this army is standing in formation at the North Tower, waiting.
"This is the important place of Weiyang Palace. Please leave as soon as possible." The back of Captain Beique was already soaked. He still had to be loyal to his duty. In his eyes, there is no right or wrong. There are only those who guard Weiyang Beique. Duty, no one can cross here without the emperor's order.
"Even if we force the palace, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed. Send my military order to attack the Weiyang North Gate." Huo Guang ordered in a deep voice on his horse. Now is not the time to be indecisive.
Soon, the cry of killing finally rang out in Chang'an City. The sound spread far in the silent night. Everyone knew that Huo Guang had begun to attack Weiyang Palace.
When the shouts of killing rang out, Liu Quya finally arrived at the Beijun camp. When he took out the prime minister's seal and told several generals in the Northern Army camp that Huo Guang was already attacking Weiyang Palace, these generals happened to hear the shouts of killing from Weiyang Palace and were unsure of their decision, but they really He planned to gather all his troops and horses to go to King Qin with Liu Quyou.
"Wait a minute, what do you want to do?" Just as Liu Quyou and the Northern Army generals were walking out of the tent, Sang Hongyang arrived at this time.
"The imperial censor arrived just in time. The rebellious minister Huo Guang has already entered.Chang'an, Weiyang Palace is now in danger, you and I will quickly send our troops to rescue them. "Liu Quya saw Sang Hongyang coming and hurriedly stepped forward and said. Although the two of them usually had some conflicts in the court, in the face of such a big matter, Liu Quya believed that Sang Hongyang, as the imperial censor, would not It will be vague.
"Does the prime minister have the emperor's will and hold the tiger talisman?" Sang Hongyang stood there and stared at Liu Quya and asked.
"This happened suddenly, and I haven't met His Majesty before. Where can I get the decree and the tiger talisman?" Liu Quya didn't know what Sang Hongyang meant, so he answered as usual.
"How can the Prime Minister mobilize the army without the tiger talisman? You can't just rely on your Prime Minister Zuo's seal, right? It's such a child's play. Could it be that my imperial censor's seal can also mobilize the army at will?" Sang Hongyang said with a slightly angry look, but after a moment Liu Quya was speechless when asked.
"Youcould you have colluded with Huo GuangCome here, capture Sang Hongyang quickly." Liu Quya pointed at Sang Hongyang. He had already understood that this Sang Hongyang was To prevent him from mobilizing the army, Liu Quya could only label Sang Hongyang as a treasonous person at this time, and then capture Sang Hongyang first.
"However, after Liu Quya finished speaking, no one took action. The Northern Army generals also looked at each other, and no one was willing to express their position before the situation was clear.
"It seems that Prime Minister Zuo is a little confused. Come, take Prime Minister Zuo home." Sang Hongyang looked at Liu Quya and smiled, and then said casually.
"Prime Minister Zuo, please go back to your mansion!" Several generals looked at each other and bowed to Liu Quya in unison. This time, even these generals called him Prime Minister Zuo.
"Youyou" Liu Quya trembled with anger, and was then forcibly held up by several soldiers.
Before Liu Quya was sent back to his mansion, the battle at Weiyang Beique was over. When Huo Guang led Liu Jin and others into Weiyang Palace, the news of Sang Hongyang and Liu Quya's appearance at the Beijun camp was also reported to Huo Guang. When he heard that it was Sang Hongyang who stopped Liu Quyou from mobilizing troops, Huo Guang was slightly startled, but then he smiled again.
Recently, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been living in the Qingliang Hall. At this moment, thousands of imperial guards are waiting outside the palace. They are already the last protective force around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. And until now, the leader of the imperial guards is still Huo She.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anyang has broken through the North Palace and is now almost outside the palace. Captain Fengche is already waiting in full formation. Can your Majesty give you any instructions?" Zhang Anshi bowed beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Go and listen to what they have to say later." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just taken a pill and still had his eyes slightly closed.
Zhang Anshi bowed and retreated. The outside was protected by layers of forbidden troops. Huo Yan stood at the front in armor, and further away, Huo Guang and his people also surrounded the Qingliang Palace.
"I am the eldest grandson of the Han Emperor. Now I want to see His Majesty the Emperor. Why don't you get out of the way?" Liu Jin approached Huo Shan and his voice spread outside the palace. Liu Jin also didn't expect that this childhood playmate would become the last person standing in front of him.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It is my duty. No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's summons. Your Highness is no exception!" Huo Yan bowed to Liu Jin, but her body blocked Liu Jin, preventing him from moving forward. step.
"Shan'er, what if uncle orders a strong attack on you?" Huo Guang took a few steps forward and asked Huo Shan as he walked. When Huo Guang's body moved, the guards behind him stepped forward at the same time, pointing their weapons directly at Qingliang Palace.
"Be on guard" Huo Shan shouted, unsheathing the long sword in his hand. Thousands of Confederate soldiers behind him also had their shields dropped to the ground, their swords and guns moving forward, and a confrontation between the two armies was imminent.
Huo Shan pulled out the sword, and Huo Guang's eyes couldn't help but fall on Huo Shan's sword. Because this side sword was so familiar to Huo Guang. It was the side sword given to him by Huo Qubing during the Battle of Mobei. This sword had been with Huo Guang for several years, following him through the Hanoi Rebellion and his expedition to South Vietnam. Finally, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the north and Huo Guang returned to Longxi to aid, he gave this matching sword to Huo Shen.
"If uncle insists on going in, then he should step over his nephew's body!" Huo Yan said without much thought, and she actually put on a fight-to-death attitude. - Didn't finish reading?
