Zhao Qi never expected that the Liao army would be defeated so quickly.
Before his plan could be implemented, the outcome was clear.
Although the Song and Liao sides were still fighting each other and had not yet decided the winner, even ordinary soldiers could see that it was only a matter of time before the Liao people were defeated.
Seeing the unpredictable looks in the eyes of the soldiers around him, he quickly shouted:
"Don't listen to his deceptions. Your Majesty is seriously injured and is about to die. It's these rebellious officials and traitors who are holding your Majesty hostage."
"Everyone, rush forward and save His Majesty. Everyone has the merit to be awarded a title and a bounty."
As he spoke, he raised his sword again and said:
"Don't worry, officers and men. All their families are in the hands of this king. If they want to save their lives, they will not fight to the death... Damn it!"
He was struggling to give a speech when he suddenly received a heavy blow on the back of his neck. His vision went dark and he fell off his horse.
A general behind him reached out and grabbed him, urged his horse and shouted:
"I have captured King Yan, I have captured King Yanzhou."
Cao Bin's expression turned cold, and then he smiled and said:
"Okay, with His Majesty's decree, you and the ordinary soldiers can be exempted from sin."
Seeing that Cao Bin did not break his promise after taking over King Yan, the general was relieved.
The soldiers also felt relaxed. It turned out that King Yan had deceived them in the name of King Qin's rescue.
In fact, when they put on their disguises and saw the Liao cavalry in front of them, they already had doubts in their hearts.
But just now the arrow was on the string and they had to shoot. They could only suppress their doubts temporarily and follow King Yan to the dark side.
It would be okay if the Liao people won. With the usual support of King Yan, they would not switch sides.
But seeing that the Liao people were about to be defeated, and the emperor promised to be exempted, there was no need to follow King Yan.
But the other rebel generals were anxious. They were not ordinary soldiers, and they did not capture King Yan first.
So they all shouted:
"Don't believe him, we have no way out, get the prince back quickly!"
It's just that there was no way the soldiers would listen to their instigation. On the contrary, some people were eager to perform meritorious deeds and directly pulled them off their horses.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Cao Bin gave the order:
"You all put down your weapons and accept custody. You will be released after the chaos is quelled!"
Without the leader of the rebellion, the ordinary soldiers had no room for resistance. They could only drop their weapons obediently and surrender.
After Cao Bin controlled the soldiers of King Yan, Lu Junyi also defeated the Liao cavalry...
The emperor was about to ask someone to wake up King Yan to question him, but Pan Renmei said quickly:
"Your Majesty, King Yan just said that he would send people to arrest the families of the soldiers."
"Please send the cavalry to rescue first."
Kou Zhun and Taijun She also quickly requested.
Everyone has heard King Yan's threat. Now that the situation in Beijing is unclear, no one dares to guarantee their own safety.
Even the emperor was afraid that the palace would be raided, so he looked at King Yan bitterly and ordered:
"Huntianhou, you lead the cavalry to Beijing first to help Wang Yanling put down the rebellion."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to go."
When Mu Guiying returns, she will definitely save Tianbo Mansion first. She is more concerned about her own affairs.
Seeing that the emperor was in trouble, Kou Zhun said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. King Yan has been captured. There is no one in the capital who dares to offend!"
"The most important thing now is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and reduce the losses!"
The emperor then nodded and played.
Cao Bin thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, please send the Silver Halberd Squadron of the Imperial Guard Battalion to help me."
Zhang Wen, the commander of the Silver Halberd Squadron, was confused for a moment.
King Yan has been captured. At this time, suppressing the rebellion is a good job. Why would Cao Bin take him?
However, he didn't care to think about it. He had merit and he couldn't refuse, so he quickly stepped forward to ask for help. ,.
Even Cao Bin was sent out, and the emperor agreed, nodding and saying:
"Let Cao Bin and Mu Guiying lead five thousand cavalry troops to Beijing to put down the rebellion..."
At this time, Bianjing City was already in chaos.
After King Yan's men began to arrest the family members of the generals who went on the expedition, they could no longer control it.
Some soldiers did not obey the command at all and attacked the homes of dignitaries and common people everywhere, directly turning into rioters.
Another Li Zhaoming secretly robbed the city wall.
Even the counselors who gave King Yan advice were numb.
But now, he had no choice but to break the pot, and planned to first disintegrate the military morale of the soldiers around the emperor according to the original plan.
Tianbo Mansion and Zheng Guo Mansion went well, but they hit a snag at Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
The servants of the Hou Mansion are not only large in number and well-trained, but they are also ambushed by agencies and are guarded by masters such as Feng Yihan.
The rebels attacked for a day but failed to break through the defense.
It made him anxious and helpless.
At this time, Pang Yanyan and other female relatives all gathered in the middle courtyard, listening to the shouts of killing outside the wall and feeling worried.
Pang Yanyan was holding a dagger in her hand, and her palm turned white. When she saw Uncle Fu hurried in, she quickly asked:
"Uncle Fu, what is going on outside, does the court not care?"
Uncle Fu wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile:
"Now the entire capital is in chaos. The imperial court is busy controlling the city wall. I don't know how long it will take to wait for their support."
Pang Yanyan was silent for a moment and said:
"How long can we hold on?"
Uncle Fu said with a bitter face:
"I don't know, but Xia Laodao's mechanism is very good. The rebels won't be able to attack for a while..."
Just as he was talking, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the house:
"People of the Cao family, listen, my prince has no ill intentions and will not harm you."
"As long as you give up resistance, we will take you to see Zhong Jinghou immediately."
Seeing no answer from inside, the outside continued to shout:
"If you still resist, we won't care if you live or die and start setting fires."
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. The mechanism arranged by Xia Laodao was very powerful, but it also relied on the courtyard walls and buildings.
If you set the fire directly, it would be a bit dangerous...
At this time, Cao Bin and Mu Guiying had just arrived outside Bianjing City.
Seeing that the city gate was closed, Mu Guiying immediately drove his horse forward and shouted:
"Huntian Hou Mu Guiying and Zhongjing Hou Cao Bin carry the imperial edict to quell the rebellion. Open the city gate quickly."
Mu Guiying was even more anxious than Cao Bin. All the capable servants of the Yang family were out fighting, and the remaining ones did not have much combat capability at all.
For example, Princess Che and others would have little room to resist if they were held hostage by the rebels.
A guard was sent down from the city, watched for a moment, and shouted:
"The superior officer has strictly ordered that we must not open the door unless the Holy Master arrives in person."
Mu Guiying said angrily:
"Be brave, I have the holy decree at hand, you dare to disobey?"
The city gate guard quickly shouted:
"Don't worry about the bad weather. The general will not be able to distinguish the authenticity of the imperial edict and will not dare to take risks."
"Please wait for half a day. My general will soon be able to put down the rebellion and open the city gate."
Things in the world are often bad because there is me among you, and you among me. It is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Cao Bin was not sure for a while whether the garrison at the top of the city was the imperial court or the rebels.
If they are rebels, they may also pretend to be on the side of the court to deceive themselves.
If it were Li Zhaoming, he might have considered it cautiously, but most of it was for merit.
Although Wang Yanling was responsible for the rebels entering the city, Li Zhaoming was also guilty of dereliction of duty.
Only by suppressing the rebellion alone and personally welcoming the Holy Emperor into the city can he atone for his sins.
However, Cao Bin had already prepared and compared his feelings with his own. If it were him, if he was confident of fighting the rebellion on his own, he wouldn't want others to take a share of the pie.
So he pushed King Yan and Zhang Wen out and shouted towards the city:
"The nephews of King Yan Zhao Qi and Li Zhaoming are all in my hands!"
"I don't care which side you are from, open the city gate quickly, otherwise, I will kill both of them."
Zhang Wen was already confused, his mind was full of dark clues. He thought Cao Bin was leading him to perform meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect that he was the one threatening his uncle's meat.
The corner of Mu Guiying's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. This was an excellent method.
No matter whose troops are in the city, they all have weaknesses.
Seeing Cao Bin raising the iron whip, Zhang Wen and Zhao Qi almost peeed in fear. The guard at the head of the city was speechless and said:
"You can't wait for me Zhongjing, just open the door at the end of the day."
