Nangong Ye had just walked out of the gate of the military camp under Li Tao's command. The sound of drums on the city walls of the capital was intensive, and at the same time, it was mixed with the melodious and thick sound of horns, echoing inside and outside the capital, reaching into the sky.
Nangong Ye's heart trembled, and he quickly took off the telescope from his waist and looked around.
However, apart from the tall and majestic city walls of the capital city and the military camps where Li Tao and himself were stationed, there was boundless wilderness in the lens tube, and nothing else could be seen.
What on earth is it? First it was an early warning drum, but now it even sounded an emergency horn.
Nangong Ye was so excited that he couldn't see anything and no longer wasted time. He held the telescope and used light skills to leap towards the south gate of the capital.
After Nangong Ye left, Li Tao was in the military tent.
Li Tao, who was kneeling on the ground and was also in a daze, heard the horns coming from the capital mixed with the rapid sound of war drums in his ears, and suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the capital through the tent.
Under the puzzled looks of He Shu and others, Li Tao immediately stood up from the ground, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
“I haven’t lost yet, I haven’t lost yet.
It must be my cousin Liu Chengzhi who has rebelled against me. It must have been my cousin who has rebelled against me.
I knew that my uncle was a hero, but his son was the kind of mud that couldn't hold up the wall.
With such a rapid warning of war drums, there would be no less than 200,000 troops.
Except for his cousin Liu Chengzhi who led his troops to the capital, no one could make the imperial army in the capital so nervous. "
Everyone heard Li Tao's excited words and looked towards the capital in astonishment.
Among them, the most frightening ones were undoubtedly the four soldiers left behind by Nangong Ye.
If the matter is really told by King Zhao, it means that the current situation in the capital will change drastically in an instant because of the arrival of the new side king Liu Chengzhi with his troops.
Only the elite border troops who have fought side by side with them know best how terrifying the combat power of the 240,000 elite cavalrymen under King Bingjian is.
The superiority of the cavalry coupled with the sophisticated military equipment accumulated from the money, it can be said that there are few opponents in the world.
Even if he, the veteran soldiers of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, had a head-on fight with him, it would be difficult to judge the outcome.
What's more, they are all cavalry.
The strength of his troops is 40,000 compared to his 50,000 brothers.
Li Tao naturally noticed the reactions on the faces of Nangong Ye's four soldiers, and was not afraid that the four of them would take action against him. He walked up to He Shu and grabbed He Shuyu's hand to suppress his excitement.
"Concubine, little sister, as you can see, I haven't lost yet. My cousin has led his troops to help me. I haven't lost yet.
As long as they come to help me, let alone the 100,000 elite troops gathered by my uncle and General Dongfang Ming, and Marshal Yun will bring another 100,000 elite border troops to help me, my side will be sure of victory. "
He Shu looked at Li Tao, who seemed a little dazed, and knew that this was a sudden change in his mind caused by a moment of great sadness and joy.
I really wanted to slap him awake, but I was afraid of hurting his face and making him do something drastic, so I had to start admonishing him with serious words.
"Kid, don't be stupid.
The movement of more than 200,000 cavalrymen could be felt from our side a few miles away as the earth trembled.
But look now, except for the sound of war drums and horns on the city wall, is there any movement of soldiers and horses arriving?
This is all just a fantasy you have.
Come back after you have gone astray, and don’t continue to make the same mistakes again and again!
This has really touched your Majesty's bottom line. No one will be able to save your life by then. "
Young Master Liu's future daughter-in-law, the already slim princess Li Jingyao, also walked up to Li Ye and stopped, looking at Li Tao worriedly with her clear eyes.
"Brother, listen to my mother and concubine and stop.
Cousin...if cousin had come to help you, he would have come long ago. Why wait until today? "
Seeing that her brother had pinned his hopes on the future husband with whom she was engaged, Li Jingyao really didn't know what to say, so she could only follow the words of her mother and concubine He Shu to admonish her brother Li Tao.
When Li Tao saw that his mother-in-law and his younger sister were still trying to persuade him, he let go of He Shu's hand and shook his head firmly.
"Mother, concubine, little sister, you have never led a soldier, so you don't know what early warning drums and emergency horns mean.
If there is no enemy situation, using early warning drums to warn without authorization is subject to military law.
It may be that the imperial scouts discovered the traces of the army, and then the early warning drums sounded.
In other words, even if the soldiers and horses have not arrived now, they will soon arrive at the city.
Listen carefully to the sound of war drums and trumpets on the city wall
Nine drums and one trumpet, this means that the army is approaching and there is an urgent need.
Nowadays, the situation is complicated and difficult to understand. The two countries, Jin and Turkmenistan, have too much time to take care of themselves outside the customs. In addition, Marshal Yun is guarding the border with heavy troops. They dare not cross Shanhaiguan at all, let alone talk about approaching our Dalong capital city.
And if Marshal Yun sent troops now, facing the reinforcements from King Qin, why would the Imperial Army beat drums to warn them.
This also means that only the more than 200,000 elite cavalry left by his uncle Liu Mingzhi rushed back to the capital under the leadership of his cousin Liu Chengzhi, which could make the imperial army in the city so nervous.
My cousin never wrote back to me, presumably because he was worried that the court would intercept him.
However, although he did not reply to the letter, he led his troops to Beijing secretly.
It must be like this, it must be like this. "
Hearing his son's firm explanation, even He Shufeng's eyes flashed with doubt.
Could it be that the son of the man who had underestimated him time and time again led his troops to Beijing to avenge his father?
At the same time, the four soldiers left behind by Nangong Ye became even more nervous.
Because Li Tao's explanation is completely based on military rules!
Are my brothers and I really going to fight with Pao Ze, who we fought alongside in the past, outside the capital?
Li Tao didn't care what the four soldiers thought, straightened his clothes and looked outside the tent.
"Somebody come!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Instruct the three armies to prepare for war."
"Got the order!"
"Four of you, without an order, you don't dare to do anything to me. Imprisoning me is even more wishful thinking. Don't forget that this is my king's military tent.
Seeing that you are my uncle's confidants, I will not embarrass you.
Go back immediately to assist your uncle.
It won't take long for you to understand what the situation of our king is like today! "
The four soldiers looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and ran towards the outside of Li Tao's military camp, stroking their swords.
"Mother, concubine, little sister, in case big brother takes you as hostages, you can rest in my big tent these days."
"Tao'er, you..."
"Come here, please take the concubine down and make her well settled. Her living expenses will be the same as mine."
"Got the order!"
Several soldiers walked up to He Shu's mother and daughter with complicated expressions: "Toffee, Your Highness, please, don't embarrass the little ones."
"Tao'er!"
"Mother, I will personally take you back after the child enters the palace.
Um! "
Chen Jie was just a delicate woman with no strength. She couldn't resist the soldiers who got the signal, so she could only walk out of the tent with her eyebrows furrowed.
Nangong Ye climbed the city wall in a hanging basket and found Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin, one of the generals who defended the city.
"Jingyuan Hou, what happened, why did the war drums warn?"
"King him side by side...he...sigh...Gong Yong'an, the general doesn't know what to say, or... Please go to Rongxing Gate in the north to see it yourself."
The side-by-side king in Chen's mouth made Nangong Ye tremble, and he hurried towards the north gate.
I was thinking in my mind, could this guy Liu Chengzhi lead troops into Beijing?
It takes about as long as a cup of tea.
Nangong Ye and the others finally arrived at the north gate of the capital, having made leaps with Qinggong.
"Master, look!"
Nangong Ye followed the situation of Jingyuan waiting for Chen Jin and looked at it.
A few dozen steps away from the city gate, a man wearing a light blue scholar's scholar's shirt and a turban on his head stood next to a divine war horse.
Holding a folding fan in one hand and a bamboo hat in the other, he was stopping at the foot of the city and looking towards the city wall with a smile.
Nangong Ye stared at the young man's appearance in stunned silence: "Ming...Mingzhi! You...you...you are still alive?"
Seeing Nangong Ye climbing up the city wall, Liu Mingzhi hung the bamboo hat in his hand on the back of the horse beside him, and looked at Nangong Ye on the city wall with a stunned look on his face with a faint smile.
"Uncle, long time no see.
The child had already gone to heaven.
However, my father told the Lord of Hell that I have not yet completed my merits and deeds, and it is not yet time for me to return to heaven.
Just let Yin Cha send me back and bring me back to life.
It's great to see my uncle alive. "
Nangong Ye came back to his senses, looked at Liu Mingzhi with complicated eyes, and simply ignored his talk about ghosts and ghosts.
Mr. Yun was right. There was something really fishy about the assassination of this kid. He was indeed still alive.
It was really his handiwork that the soldiers of the Sixth Guards of the New Army suddenly disbanded and returned to their fields.
Nangong Ye hurriedly looked around and saw no trace of the Six Guards of the New Army, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of the words that the old commander had speculated at that time, his mind suddenly became tense again.
"Ming... Your Majesty, when you come to Beijing this time, you are not planning to rebel, are you?"
Liu Mingzhi closed the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan in his hand with a snap and inserted it into his waist. He took off the Heavenly Sword from his waist and placed it on the ground with both hands. He calmly looked at the many old acquaintances on the city wall.
"Uncle is joking, how can this king be planning to rebel?"
Before Nangong Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Mingzhi's calm eyes suddenly became sharp.
"By entering the capital this time, I am rebelling!"
