Chapter 1936: Death of the Emperor (Part 1)
"Your Majesty, according to reliable information, the Prince of Qin's Mansion is currently only 300 guards deep." Yang Jun said with excitement.
"real?"
Liu Xie showed a look of surprise, but then he said doubtfully: "That's not right. Qin Hao's family and children are all in Prince Qin's Mansion. How can it be possible that there are only so few guards?"
Ma Rixi Fusu chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang army is planning the city outside the city. Most of the Qin army is on guard against the Tang army. The troops in the city must not only put out fires everywhere, suppress the family soldiers, but also block Yang Ping. Young Master, we have to mobilize troops from the Qin Palace to support various places. The Qin Army does not have many troops to dispatch."
It has to be said that in order to contain the strength of the Qin army, the imperial party took great pains.
Not only did he set fires everywhere to attract a large number of Qin troops to destroy the country, but he also asked Yang Ping to use Liu Xie's banner to mislead the Qin troops and so on.
These methods were all conspiracy, which forced the Qin army to divide its forces, so that the defense force of the Qin Prince's Mansion was now weak.
"God help me as a big man."
Liu Xie was overjoyed, and then looked at Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, and Qiao Mao, who had experience in commanding troops, and said: "My dear friends, I leave it to you to lead the army. We must attack the Prince of Qin's palace as soon as possible."
"No." The four of them responded in unison.
Blocked by Fuxi and Kongqiu, although the Kong and Fu families were unable to send troops, with the support of hundreds or dozens of soldiers from the Ma, Yang, Zhang, Wang, Qiao, and Huang families, the imperial party A team of four thousand was still assembled.
Now the Qin army in Luoyang City is either scattered around to put out fires or suppress other rebellions. There is not much strength left. This is a good opportunity to resist an attack on the Qin Palace.
Tongfu Inn.
"Big Mouth, close the doors and windows tightly. It will be terrible if the rebels break in."
Tong Xiangyu shouted, and then sighed softly: "We fought in Qixia Town, and finally came to Luoyang. I thought I could have a peaceful life in a few days, but I didn't expect that there is still a war in Luoyang. This world is really not as ordinary as ours." People have a way to survive."
Li Dazui, who was lying in front of the window and peeking, said: "Shopkeeper, it's okay. The rebels didn't stop here, they all went to Prince Qin's Mansion."
"What?"
Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang screamed at the same time. They were not ordinary people, so they naturally knew what this meant.
A trace of determination flashed in Bai Zhantang's eyes, and then he looked at Tong Xiangyu and said seriously: "Xiangyu, I'll go out and take a look, and I'll be back soon."
Tong Xiangyu quickly grabbed Bai Zhantang, trying to stop him from going out, but the thousands of words in his heart finally turned into just one sentence: "Be safe."
"Yeah." Bai Zhantang nodded.
"Lao Bai, I'll go with you." Guo Furong called.
"Come on, with your three-legged cat skills, if something happens I have to distract you to protect you, so you should stay and look after the store."
After saying that, Bai Zhantang opened the door and left without giving Guo Furong a chance to refute.
After walking into the street, I saw that all the shops and houses had their doors closed, and most people were hiding at home to avoid the war.
A small number of mobs also took the opportunity to break into other people's homes and rob them, using wooden sticks and kitchen knives as weapons.
Normally, Bai Zhantang would definitely stop this kind of robbery when he saw it, but now he can't care about such a trivial matter.
The Palace of the Prince of Qin was the brains of the Luoyang garrison. Once it was captured by the rebels, the garrison on the city wall would lose command. If the Tang army invaded the city, hundreds of thousands of people would suffer.
Although Bai Zhantang is humble, as a resident of Luoyang, he must do his part to defend his homeland.
Bai Zhantang tiptoed and jumped directly onto the roof, then jumped between the houses and ran quickly towards the direction of Prince Qin's Mansion.
There are many heroes in Luoyang City, and there are also many people who have the same idea as Bai Zhantang.
Beggars Qiao Feng, Hong Qi, Guo Jing, Yihua Palace Flowers, Xiao Yuer, Lu Xiaofeng, Jian Chen and other heroes with a sense of justice, when they learned that the rebels were going to attack the Qin Palace, they all spontaneously went to defend Qin. The palace.
“Everyone, there is a large number of rebellions in Luoyang City, and they are also planning to attack the Prince of Qin’s Mansion.
Although I am a beggar, I am also a well-known hero. At this time of national crisis, I should devote myself to the country. "
Qiao Feng stood on the high platform, looked at the ragged gang members below, and shouted: "This operation is all voluntary. If you don't want to, you will not be forced. If you are willing to contribute to the country, just come with me, Qiao Feng."
Except for dozens of old and frail old beggars who left, the vast majority of people did not leave.
Seeing this, Hong Qi raised his arms and shouted: "Follow Gang Leader Qiao and surround Luoyang City."
"Follow Gang Leader Qiao and surround Luoyang City." The three hundred beggars shouted in unison.
"Walk."
With a wave of his hand, Qiao Feng, together with Hong Qi and Guo Jing, led three hundred Beggar Gang disciples holding wooden and bamboo sticks and ran towards the direction of Prince Qin's palace.
After witnessing this scene, Ru Qiantaki, the concubine of the Yin and Yang family, said to the leader Fuxi beside her: "All the princes are working hard to suppress the heroes of the Jianghu gangs, and the Qin army is doing the same, but they don't want to see these Jianghu gangsters in danger again. Will take the initiative to help the Qin army."
"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people." Fuxi sighed lightly.
Hearing this, Ji Ruqianlong was stunned and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
"Let's go to Prince Qin's Mansion. It's time for my Yin and Yang family to line up." Fuxi said.
"clear."
In the palace of Prince Qin, in addition to the three daughters Mu Guiying, Xiao Longnv, and Zhao Min, all the daughters of Qin Hao's wives and concubines gathered together.
At this time, Liu Mu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Jia Xu seemed to be fine and was drinking herbal tea leisurely.
"Report... A large number of rebels are coming to the palace, numbering about four to five thousand."
Jia Xu put down the tea cup and said calmly: "I know, let General Arthur guard the gate of the house. Reinforcements will be here soon."
"Uncle, there are only three hundred guards on General Arthur's side. I'd better go over and help her."
With that, Liu Mu was about to walk out. Seeing this, Jia Xu quickly stood up and stopped her.
Let Liu Mu go? What a joke.
Liu Mu is the biggest variable in Jia Xu's plan. Her status as the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty and Princess Qin gives Liu Mu an extremely respected status. In addition, she is a half-step grandmaster level master. If she is allowed to leave the Qin Palace , which is likely to cause changes in the plan.
The reason why Jia Xu stayed in the Prince of Qin's Mansion was to keep an eye on Liu Mu personally and prevent her from disrupting his plan.
"Your Highness, you must not do it." Jia Xu dissuaded him.
Liu Mu asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Although the rebels are large in number, their combat power is weak, and although the guards in General Arthur's hands are few, they are all elite.
Holding the gate of the mansion until reinforcements arrive will not be a problem.
Therefore, the threats outside the government are not as big as those inside the government. "
"Uncle, do you mean there are spies in the house?" Liu Mu asked in surprise.
"Yes, there is probably a spy from Li Tang or the rebels in the palace. No one can trust him until the traitor is found."
Jia Xu made it up in a serious manner: "The safety of the young master and his wife is above all else. The guard's power is limited now. Please ask Your Highness to stay and personally protect the young master and his wife."
"That's...ok."
Liu Mu didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded and agreed. After all, what Jia Xu said gave her no reason to refuse.
Seeing that Liu Mu was obedient, Jia Xu felt relieved, finally having stabilized this biggest variable.
