"The general is joking..."
Xiahou Mao smiled strongly.
"I've brought so many people with me, do you think I'm joking?"
Yang Ling said calmly,
"Just last night, the Wudao Hunjun sent Sima Yi to my mansion with the intention of poisoning me."
"Maybe the soldiers in the arsenal don't know about my contribution to the Wei Dynasty, but General Zilin should know it best."
"Is this a fair outcome for me?"
As a great general of the dynasty, Yang Ling could be said to be powerful in the world just by pacifying Jiangdong, let alone far away!
However, Cao Pi wanted to give him a glass of poisonous wine. Not to mention Xia Houmao, even the arsenal guards beside him had angry expressions on their faces.
Xiahou Mao's father was Xiahou Dun. He was also considered a general's son and grew up in a military camp.
With his ears and eyes wet, he naturally admired Yang Ling for his continuous military exploits.
Not to mention that when he accompanied Cao Pi and Yang Ling to attack the Yuan family, he also witnessed Yang Ling's strategizing!
Seeing that Yang Ling, who had made great achievements, was about to be poisoned by Cao Pi, he felt quite unsatisfied.
But so what?
After all, Cao Pi is the emperor!
Yang Ling had the courage to raise an army, but Xia Houmao didn't dare!
Seeing that Xia Houmao was silent, Yang Ling smiled again.
"General Zilin should still remember the late emperor's last words when he died."
"Now I follow the late emperor's decree to attack the unprincipled and ignorant king!"
"Tell me, General Zilin, whose side do you choose to side with?"
"If you continue to support that ignorant and ignorant king, you can kill me on the spot with one arrow and go to him to receive the reward."
"If you are willing to stand by my side, then quickly open the door and welcome us in!"
Xia Houmao looked embarrassed and said helplessly,
"General, please don't force me..."
"Since you refuse, Zi Lin, then as an uncle, I will help you."
Yang Ling sighed, looked solemn, and said loudly,
"If you are our Wei generals, you will arrest Xiahou Mao and open the arsenal door!"
Xia Houmao was stunned and subconsciously looked to his side.
I saw the arsenal guards surrounding them one after another.
"What are you doing?"
"General, I'm sorry!"
The guards apologized, swarmed up, and tied Xia Houmao up.
Xia Houmao was dumbfounded. He never expected that Yang Ling would persuade all his men to rebel with just a few words.
Isn't this prestige too damn high?
In fact, it's no wonder. After all, the Wei Dynasty relied on military force to build the country. Whether it was Wei Emperor Cao Cao or Yang Ling, they all made great achievements in battle and were naturally worshiped by these soldiers.
On the other hand, Cao Pi was defeated by Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan cavalry in the Battle of Hebei.
In the Battle of Wancheng, 50,000 people versus 30,000 people, he had the advantage, but he was defeated again.
After such a comparison, all the arsenal guards naturally turned to Yang Ling.
In addition, if they follow Yang Ling and overthrow Cao Pi, the rewards they will receive will be extremely generous.
So these arsenal guards united and tied up Xia Houmao!
"You bastards, you are treason!"
Xia Houmao shouted unwillingly.
At this moment, Yang Ling slowly walked in through the opened door.
Hearing Xia Houmao's words, he couldn't help but laugh,
"What Zi Lin said is wrong. I have a reputation as a teacher! Someone, please ask General Zi Lin to go down and rest!"
After Xia Houmao was taken away, Yang Ling waved his hand, and the three thousand dead soldiers behind him poured into the arsenal like a tide.
While wearing armor, they carried three-eyed blunderbuss, artillery, black powder and other firearms outside.
At this moment, several hearty laughs came from outside the arsenal.
"General, we are here!"
Yang Ling took a closer look and saw that it was Pang Tong, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Wei Yan and others who had received the news and accompanied them outside the arsenal.
Everyone was naturally extremely excited to see each other again.
When they saw Xu Shu and Xing Daorong and knew what they had done, they were also very sad.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get ready to go!"
Yang Ling paused and said in a deep voice,
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"Please give me your orders, General!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Shi Zai, Bo Yue, you two led five hundred soldiers and horses to the palace of a group of courtiers, trying to control them."
Yang Ling ordered.
"Here!"
Deng Ai clasped fists with Jiang Wei and left quickly.
"Zilong, Zhongye, Guan Yu!"
"The general is here!"
The three of them responded in unison.
"You order two thousand soldiers and horses to stop the soldiers and horses in the city supporting the palace."
"Here!"
"The rest of you, follow me and fight towards the palace!"
Everyone responded with a roar, followed Yang Ling, and rushed towards the palace.
They encountered no resistance along the way and arrived outside the palace smoothly.
At this time, the imperial guards in the palace had received the news and the city gates were tightly closed.
The person responsible for guarding the palace gate was Zhu Shuo.
Seeing Yang Ling leading his troops to attack, Zhu Shuo's face darkened and he said coldly,
"Yang Ling, you are such a traitor, how dare you raise an army to rebel!"
"Zhu Shuo, don't use the word traitor randomly."
Yang Ling also sneered and said,
"Now that Cao Pi is in danger, are you still stubborn? If you don't open the palace door again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yang Ling, if you dare to do anything random again, I won't be polite if you be careful!"
After hearing what he said, Yang Ling was too lazy to talk and waved his hand.
"Come on, fuck this guy!"
Seeing dozens of artillery pieces aimed at the palace gate, Zhu Shuo couldn't help but change his expression!
Before he could respond, Yang Ling ordered the gunfire.
"Rumble..."
Along with the roar of artillery, countless cannonballs hit the palace gate heavily.
The Xudu Palace was originally built in an extremely hasty manner, and when it was built, it was not considered that it would be bombarded by artillery.
But in the blink of an eye, the palace gate was blown to the ground by artillery!
Gan Ning took out the weapon from his waist and shouted sternly,
"Brothers, follow me!"
Like an arrow from a string, he was the first to rush into the palace.
Several Forbidden Army soldiers rushed towards them. Gan Ning raised his sword and chopped them down on the spot.
Before other Forbidden Army soldiers could come forward, the rebel soldiers and dead soldiers who followed Yang Ling had already rushed over.
"Hold on, fucking hold on!"
Zhu Shuo roared angrily.
But with Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others fighting bravely, how could these Forbidden Army soldiers resist?
Seeing that the army was defeated like a mountain, Zhu Shuo could only turn around and retreat towards the palace.
The emperor's palace.
At this time, Cao Pi was sitting on the bed. Although his face was calm, his trembling hands hidden in the sleeves of his robe betrayed him.
At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside.
Cao Pi stood up subconsciously. When he saw it was Zhu Shuo, his heart sank and he hurriedly said,
"How is the war... how is the war?"
"Your Majesty, my incompetence... allowed the rebels to invade!"
Zhu Shuo said with a look of remorse.
Cao Pi was completely stunned, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
