Chapter 126: Fight for Three
Seeing this, Luo Fubang slapped his thigh, "He runs faster than a rabbit, why didn't you stop him!"
After hearing this, Dakui immediately responded: "You are the commander, how dare we act unless you give the order."
Zhang Yongde understood what had happened, his expression suddenly changed, and he nervously held the handle of the knife, "Is it possible...could it be that Xu Xian initiated a palace coup?"
"Yu Hou, you really look down on us. He has no ability. He is just following the orders of King Jin!"
Last year, Guo Wei promoted Zhang Yongde to an official position and made him the envoy of the Enzhou regiment led by Yuhouyao, the capital of the palace. He was the real number two figure in the palace department.
"Prince Jin?" Zhang Yongde breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but suddenly became nervous again, "Could it be your Majesty... he died?"
"Marquis Yu asked the wrong person. How did we know this? We were just following the orders of King Jin."
"Then let me go quickly. I want to see His Majesty."
"Please forgive me, Marquis Yu, for being humble and unable to obey orders. The King of Jin has ordered that anyone who breaks into the back cabinet without permission should be killed on the spot. If you want to see His Majesty, you must obtain the permission of the King of Jin."
Zhang Yongde said angrily: "Then go and report it quickly. What nonsense are you talking about? Well, you must tell King Jin that my heart is with him..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Li Chongjin running towards him with a group of soldiers from the front office.
Upon seeing this, Luo Fubang quickly ordered: "Stand up your guns and prepare for war!"
Upon hearing the order, more than a hundred of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and lunged, holding guns with both hands. Li Chongjin, who rushed to the front, waved people to stop and confronted the red scarfs with guns in hand.
Li Chongjin came in a hurry and brought no more than a hundred soldiers, but he had already asked people to notify the other troops in the front department, and they would all arrive soon.
The manpower of the Red Scarf Capital and the original guards in the back cabinet were simply not enough to fill the gaps in his teeth. Chai Rong was the first to change the palace, so we can’t blame him for being unjust. However, Chai Rong, as the crown prince, has strong legitimacy, so he can do what he wants.
Everything is justified, and we need to find a scapegoat to take the blame.
Li Chongjin shouted in a cold voice: "Xu Xian, the head of the Red Scarf, has ulterior motives and plots to kidnap His Majesty and the King of Jin. I urge you to change your ways immediately and do not help the tyrants."
Luo Fubang smiled and replied: "Commander Li, you are the one who looks down on us all. If you don't know, you think he is just a soldier."
The military men of the Five Dynasties were actually quite knowledgeable people. Many of them had witnessed the change of dynasties with their own eyes. Even if they had not experienced it, they had heard about it from their fathers, brothers and colleagues. There were many things about the successful rebellion of Jiedushi, but they had never heard of it.
No one has succeeded in initiating a palace change.
Hearing Luo Fubang's ridicule, the soldiers in the front department immediately let out a soft chuckle. What did Li Chongjin bring them to the back cabinet? The soldiers in the front department knew very well. If Li Chongjin was lucky enough to ascend the throne, they would naturally follow him to get promoted and make a fortune.
If Li Chongjin was defeated and died, then they were deceived and ignorant soldiers.
"You still dare to argue that entering the palace without my permission is a traitor! If you don't get out of the way, don't blame Li for being ruthless."
Zhang Yongde did not expect that Li Chongjin was still so obsessed with the throne. The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still shallow. If Chai Rong and Li Chongjin fought with both sides, they would probably gain the advantage of outsiders. From other perspectives, the three of them were just grasshoppers on the same rope.
.
Zhang Yongde cupped his hands and said: "Brother Zhongjin, the red scarves entered the palace in compliance with the decree of King Jun of Jin Dynasty. There is no need to make a fuss and be suspicious. I advise you not to make any mistakes and put yourself in a place of eternal disaster."
Li Chongjin became even more angry when he heard this. Zhang Yongde was clearly showing his affection for Chai Rong and was trying to undermine him. He roared: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. Even if the bones are shattered, I will be responsible for it!"
A loud voice sounded from behind Hong Jindu, "If Commander Li gets tired of living, he can just wipe his neck with a knife. Why bother with the lives of all the brothers?"
In the night, only Xu Xian and Zhao Kuangyin were seen striding over. Zhao Kuangyin walked up to Li Chongjin with his head held high and said: "Commander Li, His Majesty and the King of Jin are both in the back cabinet. If you meet me, I will take you there."
"
"Hmph, how do I know if you have any ambush swordsmen in the back cabinet?" Li Chongjin knew that the longer he argued, the more disadvantageous he would be to himself. He directly ordered: "Come in and kill me. After the incident is completed, I will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded."
Baiguan!"
Li Chongjin's soldiers became more energetic after hearing this, took a step forward with their guns drawn, and at the same time shouted, "Kill!"
Xu Xian also shouted: "Brothers, if you resist, I will be promoted to the next level and rewarded with ten guans!"
Everyone in the Red Scarf City also raised their guns and shouted to kill, especially the other party. Although Xu Xian promised a small official hat and a small amount of money, everyone knew which one was more reliable, because he made random promises to the soldiers and could not fulfill them in the end.
The end was not good.
Of course, it was forbidden by the Red Scarf Capital, even if Xu Xian didn't offer a reward, why not do it if there was a chance to benefit the brothers? He wouldn't have to foot the bill anyway.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Both sides were approaching each other step by step, holding long spears and roaring, but the heads of their spears touched each other but neither of them took action. The two sides were facing each other louder than the other.
This is the normal operation of the soldiers, which is deeply rooted in the essence taught by their fathers and brothers. Even those who are not born in the army can probably learn it.
During the confrontation between the two armies in the Five Dynasties, the competition was not only about who could kill more people, but also "power" and "qi". Power refers to the situation, and "qi" refers to morale. Whoever's "power" and "qi" are stronger will win.
A burst of messy footsteps sounded, and more and more people came from all over the palace to the back cabinet. They were all soldiers of the front department. It was so dark that it was hard to see how many people there were. The scene was filled with deathly silence.
of depression.
Li Chongjin laughed loudly, "Haha... You see, my reinforcements are coming, and the brothers in the Red Scarf City don't surrender immediately, otherwise Li will be really rude."
The situation at the scene changed suddenly, but Xu Xian believed that the red scarves were all different. They had undergone military training that would become modern in later generations, but someone immediately slapped him in the face.
Dakui came over and asked Xu Xian in a low voice, "Du Tou, there are so many of them now, why don't we surrender?"
Xu Xian suddenly felt like he was really feeding the dog. What good would happen to him if Li Chongjin became the emperor? He scolded Dakui in a low voice: "Short-sighted, you are just the material to be a corps leader."
Zhao Kuangyin poked Xu Xian with his elbow and whispered: "Hurry up and take out your trump card."
"Didn't you say that you have been planning for a long time? Where are your good brothers? Can't you count on them?"
Zhao Kuangyin was full of confidence before because he had been following Chai Rong's wishes and secretly wooing the middle-level officers of the Dianqian Division, such as Li Jixun, Han Chongyun and others.
Li Chongjin was arrogant and had a bad temper, and he did not get along well with these middle-level officers. Many of them had already secretly pledged their allegiance to Chai Rong through Zhao Kuangyin, just so that they could be used on this day.
"It's so dark that you can't clearly see the situation, let alone where they are, so don't waste any time!"
"That's all!" Xu Xian waved his hands and said, "Brothers, here's your trump card!"
Immediately, a group of soldiers from the Red Scarf Army came out of the back room carrying large wooden boxes. There was a commotion in the darkness, and then there was the sound of drawing knives.
Zhao Kuangyin glared at Xu Xian hatefully and shouted into the darkness: "I am Zhao Yuanlang, brothers, don't panic, this trump card is not a magic weapon, but a good thing that everyone loves."
Chapter completed!
