"Oh? What's the reason? Tell me!" The four heads were almost together.
Li Tuo pretended to be mysterious and said, "What a cunning rabbit! This Prince Gong is too smart and leaves himself with too many retreats, so he always has a way to escape!"
"In front of Yi Xin, there are two ways to survive. One is what we just said. Gather the army to attack Xizhimen. Even if you win, many people, old and young, will die!"
"As for the other way, you can save your life without dying. When the time comes, you can slowly plan for a comeback... Which one do you think he will choose?"
"Haha... I'm sure that our Prince Gong will definitely choose the path that Xu Xu Tuzhi took to make a comeback! Because he is familiar with that path!"
"When Emperor Xianfeng was here, how many years did he sit on the bench? The British and French allied forces invaded the capital, and the late emperor left a lot of shit to this brother to wipe!"
"Isn't it true that Yixin can't bear it?"
"Your Majesty's attack on Prince Gong's forces has been steadily retreating within the past two years, but how can he endure it?"
"In ups and downs in the sea, endurance is what you fight for. This is Yi Xin's political motto. Every time he encounters a setback, he can shrink his neck and endure the hardship, and in the end he can survive!"
"This old path is already familiar to him. How can he make a hasty decision now?"
"Hey... people, it's just like that. Once they are familiar with the old road, they will subconsciously continue to follow the old road. You just watch..."
Before Li Tuo's mystery was completely revealed, a sentry ran out of the temple. The dead man in night clothes reported, "Sir! The prince left the city from Fuchengmen half an hour ago, bringing him with him." The officers in the Xishan Camp are almost approaching Xizhimen!"
"Oh! Send a message to the prince right away! Let him let go of the fight. The Eight Hundred Xishan Camp outside Xizhimen is for the prince to come and sacrifice the flag! Just open up and kill!"
"After Xizhimen is pacified, I will go and meet the prince!"
"Hey..." The sentry turned around and ran away, disappearing into the night like the wind.
The flames of war have been ignited. This is not the time for small talk. Li Tuo and others shut up and quietly waited for the arrival of good news!
Fifth Master Yi Pei, the real mastermind behind the chaos in the capital, staged a drama of loyalty, patriotism and brotherly love in Beiyuan Jingshan, which gave himself a lot of points!
I believe that through this night's exaggeration, the image of a good prince who is loyal to the emperor and friendly to his brothers, who is good to the bannermen and does his best to the court will rise like a red sun!
This is political prestige, this is the trump card that allows a person to get close to the center of power!
The proud Fifth Master Yi Pei did not slack off. He knew that there was still one last step left in tonight's drama, which was to establish military prestige!
He wanted to take advantage of tonight's east wind to gather more troops in the Xishan Camp, and at the same time, he wanted to let the government and the public know that his fifth master, Yi Pei, was not just a playboy who only knew how to play with birds, walk dogs, and plate walnuts!
He can also do military work!
The Yulin New Army and Guaizima gave him a total of 700 people. In addition, the Fifth Master mobilized a group of elites from other traditional camp heads such as Shanpu Camp, Qinjun Camp, Pioneer Camp, Guarding Army Camp, etc.!
The Fifth Master was originally a chivalrous king on the ground in the capital. He was an absolute cannon. Everything here, black, white, and gray, was all clear!
He knows all the commanders at the camp and knows what the stuffing inside tastes like. Those people can still fight, and those people have become crazy from smoking. These basic information cannot be hidden from him!
Without the prince having to do anything himself, the servants in charge of his palace immediately selected more than 800 people for the prince!
Now the Fifth Master has a total of 1,500 elites in his hands, with 700 Yulin New Army and Guaizima as the core, and 800 of the original imperial city guards from the capital as the flanks. The army is heading towards Fucheng Gate in a mighty manner!
Why go to Fuchengmen instead of directly supporting Xizhimen? There are two main reasons. One is that Wu Ye and Li Tuo have planned the turmoil in Xizhimen for a long time. They have to give those Xishan Camp soldiers an opportunity and a place to cause rebellion!
Therefore, Xizhimen must be bypassed, and another reason is that the officers brought into the city by the Prince of Xishanying to attend the Long Live Wedding all live in the White Pagoda Miaoying Temple inside Fuchengmen!
These officers above the regimental level are the brains of the entire Xishan Battalion. If you want to conquer the Xishan Battalion, you must first control them. There is no reason to kill them all!
These people are terrible. If one of them escapes and goes to Xishan Camp, there will be chaos, so Prince Chun has to be taken with him even if he doesn't escape!
The officers who were temporarily staying in Miaoying Temple were alarmed from the moment the fire broke out. Everyone was anxious and knew that something had happened. Some people even started to dismantle the benches and look for door bolts to use as self-defense weapons!
When they met the emperor, their guns and even their swords and swords were taken away, and now they were bare-handed!
They originally thought they would wait for the emperor to capture their officers and soldiers, or even shoot them directly without arresting them, but they never expected that the familiar fifth master Yipei would come!
The generals, who felt at ease a little, immediately knelt down and said hello to the prince, "Greetings to the prince!"
"Haha...why are you all so murderous? Do you know something is going on? Look, even the door bolts have been moved out. Do you think the court is going to kill you?"
"You're worthless, and you don't think about it carefully. If you want to take action, you won't do it in Miaoying Temple, the imperial white pagoda. Do you really think Long Live Lord has no mercy at all?"
"Forget it... I'm too lazy to scold you! Let me tell you the truth. Forty thousand factory slaves in the north of the city are in rebellion and have already shouted slogans to overthrow Long Live Lord!"
"Now the nine gates of the capital are as stable as Mount Tai. Prince Gong, Prince Chun and Prince Qing have all been invited to Beiyuan to avoid suspicion. They are waiting for tomorrow morning to discuss state affairs together!"
"According to the imperial decree, I led the troops out of the city to guard the line from Xizhimen to the Old Summer Palace... and also to guard against trouble in the Xishan Camp if the situation is unclear!"
"Do you understand everything? There is no rebellion by the prince, only mob rebellion! Everyone in the court is united, there is no civil war at all...Do you understand everything?"
Now the officers felt at ease and quickly kowtowed, "I understand! I will obey the holy orders! I will obey the prince's military orders!"
"As long as you know, follow me out of the city! Don't blame me for speaking out in front of you... You guys are all living well, and so are the princes!"
"Everyone is safe. If someone in Xishan Camp outside the city makes trouble...hehehe...then don't blame me for killing people directly!"
"Do you understand?" Master Wu shouted loudly, and all the officers who had just stood up knelt down again, "Hey! Your Majesty is kind, and none of your subordinates dare to disobey!"
One thousand and five cavalrymen left the city in a mighty manner from Fucheng Gate. As soon as they left the city gate and turned three to four hundred meters to the north, they encountered the royal sentry who had roped out of the city in advance!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am reporting to Your Majesty... There is chaos in Xizhimen! The Xishan Battalion stationed at Kunming Lake suddenly rebelled, and their entire army came to Xizhimen..."
"The two sides are already exchanging fire at this moment!"
"Damn! I'm really afraid of what will happen! Damn it, someone is really causing trouble!"
"Come here, attack with the whole army, suppress the rebellion..."
Behind the prince, an officer from the Xishan Battalion was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. "Your Majesty...is there any misunderstanding? Can you let your subordinates call for formation first?"
"I promise to let them lay down their weapons and surrender!"
"Bah...shut up! Are you surrendering? They can come all the way from Kunming Lake to open fire and attack Xizhimen. This is a premeditated rebellion!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you go! Keep them under guard, and the rest of the army will attack to wipe out this group of rebels!"
Rumble... Horse hooves trampled on the farmland and official roads outside the city, and a thousand and five soldiers surrounded him in two directions!
Rushing straight ahead, outflanking all the way to the west, harvesting towards Xizhimen like a sickle!
