In front of the Danyang County King's fiefdom not far outside Danyang City, Yang Wu looked at the city wall in front of him, his eyes full of astonishment. Luo Xuan and Lu Qing who were following him were also a little astonished.
Although Lu Qing and Luo Xuan had long heard that a city had been built on the fiefdom, they didn't believe it at all. After all, a city could be built in less than a year.
But when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still shocked by the spectacular sight before them. How could they have known that it took hundreds of thousands of people in the entire fiefdom to work together and use modern construction knowledge to build such a city for half a year? Not too difficult.
After all, the city walls are all made of bricks and cement, which does not require much labor, just enough masonry and cement.
In the past, building city walls required too much manpower and material resources just to lift the huge stones. Moreover, the city wall built like that is not as strong as the masonry wall in front of us.
The two of them couldn't help but marvel at Yunze's power, but they were still full of anxiety. Even with such a city, it wouldn't be too difficult for the imperial guards to attack and capture Yunze.
Moreover, they felt that the fiefdoms on Yunze's side would never dare to fight against the Imperial Guards. Luo Xuan was ready to muddy the waters and let Yunze escape at any moment.
Yang Wu and other guardsmen woke up from the shock in their eyes. A junior guard officer stepped forward and looked at Yang Wudi: "General, what should we do now!"
The city wall in front had been closed after the arrival of the Imperial Guard. Not only that, they even saw many soldiers standing on the city wall. Although these soldiers did not wear armor, they clearly had weapons in their hands. .
In this way, the Imperial Guards dare not attack the city rashly. Of course, the most important thing is that they want to attack the city. With the current equipment, there is no way to attack it.
"Send someone to shout for Yunze to come out to receive the order... Anyone who dares to resist the order will be killed without mercy!" Yang Wu said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the primary school hurriedly waved to a messenger next to him. The messenger nodded and accepted the order. He rode on horseback and walked towards the city wall ahead.
"We are the Royal Guards of the Imperial City. Now we are here to arrest the criminal Yunze. Let Yunze leave the city and be captured quickly. Otherwise, anyone who dares to resist the order will be killed without mercy!" The messenger shouted to the city wall in a cold voice.
A thousand guardsmen behind him immediately followed and shouted: "Begin to be captured. Those who resist the order will be killed without mercy! Kill without mercy!"
The uniform voice of the Imperial Guards was deafening, and the strong military discipline made the surrounding area feel horrified. On the city wall, Yunze, who was standing at the rear, was also shocked by the discipline of the imperial guards.
They deserve to be called the Imperial Guards, and they deserve to be the Imperial Guards led by the Yang family. Compared with those local armies, no matter in terms of military appearance, military discipline, or even combat effectiveness, they are many times stronger.
On the city wall, a group of guards felt the serious military appearance, and a look of fear appeared on their faces unconsciously. Although these escorts have undergone a long period of training. Military discipline is strict.
However, after all, they have never experienced cruel battles, and it is reasonable to feel timid when facing such a regimented army.
Yunze felt a little helpless, but he also knew that an army without going through the baptism of blood and fire would not be able to grow. He glanced at the guards around him and took a Liansu from Zhao Donglai's hand.
Now that he had decided to confront the court, he had nothing to hesitate. He raised his sword and aimed it at the soldier who was delivering the order. The arrow was like an arrow from the string, and in the blink of an eye it hit the disdainful and arrogant soldier. Throat of the Guardsman.
He looked at the city wall above in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. He never expected that the people in front of him would actually dare to resist the order when the Imperial Guard came over.
Not only did this man die with his eyes open, but Yang Wu, Luo Xuan and Lu Qing who were under the city wall also felt their hearts skip a beat. They all looked at the city wall in shock. They did not expect that even the Imperial Guards would dare to kill the people inside.
Doing so was tantamount to declaring war on the court and directly raising the flag of rebellion. Cold sweat broke out on Luo Xuan's forehead, and he called his son-in-law his mother in his heart.
This guy is really brave. Isn’t he trying to be rebellious? Moreover, they still killed the Imperial Guards. There were thousands of Imperial Guards coming this time. If you really want to capture the city in front of you, I'm afraid it won't be difficult.
As long as he brings over the siege equipment from his city guard camp, he can definitely capture this place. After all, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards is extremely strong.
Lu Qing was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. This Yunze was so fierce. It was clear that he was going to go against Chaoting. Yang Wu's eyelids twitched, and there was a surge of anger in his eyes.
He brought out the Imperial Guards single-handedly, and every soldier was his treasure. The people inside were actually killed in front of him. This was a challenge to his majesty.
He opened his mouth to shout angrily, but he saw Yunze's figure appearing there on the city wall. He was holding an arrow in his hand and looking at Yang Wu below.
"Commander Yang... Yun Mou advises you to leave with your imperial guards. Otherwise, all the brothers you brought so hard from the capital will die here. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it! I don't want to kill either, You go back and tell Song Ji that from now on, I, Yunze, will sever all ties with him. If there is no longer any kindness, if he wants to use Yun’s head to please the Jin man, then he is wrong!”
There was a hint of dominance in Yunze's cold voice. There was an inexplicable surge of invisible power in his body. He stood on the city wall like the Nine Heavens Demon God, and the murderous intent in his eyes made Yang Wu unconsciously startled.
Yang Wu came back to his senses, anger welling up in his eyes.
"How brave, Yunze, do you know what you are doing! You are treason!"
Hearing this, Yunze smiled coldly and said: "Rebellion! If you say rebellion, then it is rebellion! Even if I rebelled, it was Song Ji who forced me to do it! General Yang, don't you know what Song Ji wants to do when he comes to arrest me? Well, I am a certain person who thinks that I have not wronged Song Ji, and even solved the Liangshan disaster for him."
"But he is stupid and incompetent. Facing the national crisis, he doesn't know how to solve it. The first thing he thinks of is to grovel. Does he think this can stop the ambition of the Jin people? I hereby assert that within three years, Jin will definitely go south and destroy Jing! If you don’t believe it, you and I can wait and see.”
"General Yang, Yun Mou thinks you are a loyal minister, and also thinks you are Lin'er's brother. Therefore, he does not want to kill you, nor do he want to kill your brothers in the Imperial Guard. But if you are really stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless. !”
At the end of the sentence, Yunze raised his hand and shouted coldly: "Get ready, if the soldiers of the Imperial Guard dare to take a step forward, they will be killed... without mercy!"
His domineering voice resounded throughout the sky. Yang Wu and others under the city wall were stunned, and they all looked at Yunze in shock. He also looked at the arrows in the hands of the guards on the city wall.
Yang Wu's face was extremely ugly. He clenched his fists and wanted to order the siege several times, but in the end, he endured it, except that he had no siege equipment. The most important thing is that all the guards under Yunze are holding long swords.
With these long slaves alone, they and the Imperial Guards could not get close. Unless they were covered by shield soldiers, they could get close to the city wall.
But even if they are close to the city wall, if they want to attack it, they may not be able to attack it even if they have siege equipment. Not to mention, their imperial guard only has a thousand people. The number of people on the opposite city wall is probably his. Several times as much.
He never thought that Yunze not only built a fortified city here, but also trained so many soldiers, and he couldn't help but be surprised. I thought to myself that this guy wouldn't really have any rebellious intentions.
"Yang Wu, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. You are not enough for that kid to kill, so why not go back first and then think of a way!" At this time, Luo Xuan said.
He looked a little anxious and a little unbearable. Judging from the arrow that Yunze had just shot at the Imperial Guard soldier, its power was probably very likely to keep all Yang Wu's thousand Imperial Guards here.
He didn't want Yang Wu to die here like this, and he didn't want the imperial guards to attack Yunze. After all, Yunze is his son-in-law. If the Imperial Guards attack the city and they insist on pulling his city guards with them, he will attack! Still not attacking!
Yang Wu turned to look at Luo Xuan, with a surge of anger in his eyes. He looked at Lu Qing again, and said in a cold voice: "Lu Qing, Luo Xuan, you are so brave. Build a tower outside Danyang City." For such a fortified city, you didn’t report it to the court, and there are so many soldiers in the city. Yunze has been planning this for a long time, but you don’t even know about it. You are simply...are..."
At this point, he couldn't say the next words, and he didn't know how to say them.
He snorted coldly and said: "Lu Qing, Luo Xuan, you just wait for the punishment from the court. Even if His Majesty does not copy your nine tribes this time, you will not be able to protect yourself!"
Having said this, he turned to the Imperial Guards and said, "Let's go back to Beijing..."
Immediately, Yang Wu had people pull up the corpse on the ground and ran away with the imperial guards in despair. Outside the city, only Luo Xuan, Lu Qing, and two thousand city guards remained.
However, the city guards were far behind. Most of them had a good relationship with Yunze, especially the generals. When Yunze established his fiefdom, he had many dealings with them.
Everyone and Yunze are almost brothers there. He also gained a lot of benefits from Yunze. Of course they were playing tricks on Yunze. Otherwise, why would the city guards and Danyang City officials not know anything about the construction of such a city and the training of so many soldiers?
Including Lu Qing himself, he instinctively never thought of offending Yunze. It was impossible for him to come to Yunze to investigate without incident. Unless his brain was kicked by a donkey, he would offend Yunze.
But he never thought that Yunze was so ambitious that he would dare to raise soldiers privately. Moreover, looking at the quality and quantity of these soldiers, they were probably only stronger than the City Guards, or even several times as many as the City Guards.
The two looked at each other with bitterness on their faces. This matter has changed since Yunze killed the Imperial Guards. Yang Wuruo returned to the capital and reported the matter to the emperor.
No matter it is Lu Qing or Luo Xuan, they can't escape their involvement. Dismissal from office is a trivial matter, and execution is possible. They even ransacked their homes and exterminated their families. Even if Luo Xuan is the son of Marquis Jing'an, he will not be spared. Not to mention Lu Qing!
Just when the two of them looked bitter, Yunze jumped down from the city wall and came to the two of them. When the city guards in the distance saw this scene, their expressions were complicated, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.
They definitely don't want to let them attack the city on Yunze's side. Not to mention, even if they want to attack, they don't have the strength. If they do, they will be seeking death.
"Father-in-law! Sorry for involving you..." Yunze said apologetically to Luo Xuan.
"You brat, you've done it all, and you still say sorry. You're a man, so get hard for me. Aren't you just standing up to the court? I've long disliked that bastard emperor. He's so incompetent. How dare you If you think about my son-in-law, you are going against him!"
Luo Xuan snorted coldly and drank softly. Immediately, he looked at the city guards behind him and said coldly: "Brothers! We are rebelling, what do you think?"
As soon as he said these words, Yunze was stunned, Lu Qing was also shocked, and the city guard soldiers under him were also shocked with their mouths agape. They didn't expect Luo Xuan to be so bold.
However, after thinking about it, they also understood that Luo Xuan was probably driven into panic. They knew that if Emperor Song Ji pursued the case, he might really kill Luo Xuan and Lu Qing.
Even the generals of the city guard will be implicated, and all the officials in Danyang City may not be spared, and they will all suffer.
"Rebellion! Rebellion..." After a general came to his senses, he quickly responded, and the rest of the city guards also followed suit. Their relationship with Luo Xuan is extraordinary.
Luo Xuan is a man who leads troops well. Although all of his soldiers are veterans, they are all as bloody as they should be. They just got used to the day and forgot about the passion in their bodies.
But the passion in his bones has long been formed by Luo Xuan invisibly. They love Luo Xuan, and when they heard that Luo Xuan wanted to rebel, their first reaction was to respond.
At this time, Luo Xuan looked at the prefect Lu Qing, his eyes full of threats.
"Prefect Lu, what do you mean?" There was a killing intent in his eyes, and as his eyes flashed, he might kill Lu Qing on the spot at any time.
Facing Luo Xuan's compelling gaze, Lu Qing's expression froze, and he felt bitter in his heart. He was filled with regret. If he had known that this would be the result, he should not have come here.
But soon, he felt a little lucky. If he hadn't come over, Luo Xuan had really rebelled, and he might be the first person to be operated on. When Luo Xuan entered the Yamen, he was afraid that he would become a dead soul under the knife. .
At least, he still has a glimmer of hope now. This glimmer of hope was obtained after he followed Yunze because he was worried about it.
"Rebel... Damn it, rebelled! The dog emperor is so stupid and incompetent, he should have rebelled long ago! Mr. Yun, Lu Qing is willing to follow you and rebel against that bitch emperor!" Lu Qing gritted his teeth, with a ferocious expression on his face. road.
Now that he has made a decision, he is ready to risk it all.
Yunze looked at Lu Qing and Luo Xuan in astonishment. He did not expect such a result. He just wanted to come down and say sorry to the two of them, and then think about it to see if he could help them solve the crisis.
But who would have thought that Luo Xuan was more straightforward than him and said directly in front of him that he would join him in rebellion. But then again, this was his upright father-in-law. This is something he can do.
However, it is not that easy for Luo Xuan and Lu Qing to rebel. After all, Marquis Jing'an was still in the capital, and Luo Xuan's eldest brother was also in the capital. If Luo Xuan turns against him, his family in Beijing may suffer as well.
However, Yunze did not hesitate. He looked at Luo Xuan and said: "Father-in-law, Mr. Lu, since you are also planning to rebel, let me give you a suggestion. Before the court sends someone, do not declare to the outside world that you have Counterattack. Even if you want to counterattack, you must be fully prepared."
"I will send people to the capital to pick up all the people in the Houfu. In addition, Mr. Lu, do you have any relatives who are not in Danyang? If so, you will fetch your relatives, preferably here. Than If you come to Danyang City, my place will be safer!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing quickly saluted Yunze respectfully.
"Thank you, sir. I will send someone to fetch my relatives right now..."
Lu Qing knew in her heart that Yunze didn't quite believe him and wanted to keep hostages. He was not unhappy at all. It was reasonable for Yunze to have such thoughts.
After all, his identity is different from Luo Xuan, and in this situation, he has no choice.
