Pang Yuan's surrender before the battle was undoubtedly a surprise for Jia Yun.
After Jia Yun entered the city from Xizhimen and met up with Chu Mingkai, Jia Yun immediately did one thing in a hurry, that is, ordered Cao Wu to immediately lead two thousand Chang'an camp cavalry to guard the palace of Prince Zhongwu!
There is another important reason why Jia Yun is rushing to lead her army to Beijing this time, which is for the safety of her family!
Jia Yun had previously learned that his Prince Zhongwu's palace was under guard by the Imperial Guards. Fortunately, it was the Imperial Guards and not the Nine Gate Infantry Army patrolling the fifth battalion. At Cao Wei's suggestion, Chu Mingkai specially sent more
We sent some troops to "guard" Prince Chungmu's Mansion. The so-called guarding here actually means guarding.
Both Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai knew that once Jia Yun rose up to seize the throne, the family members of Prince Zhongwu's mansion would be in danger.
Now, as soon as Jia Yun entered the city, he couldn't wait to send his most trusted Cao Wu to lead two thousand soldiers from the Chang'an camp to guard the palace and his family.
Just as Cao Wugang left with two thousand Chang'an camp cavalry, Ren Tianxiao, the admiral of the Nine Gates, led thousands of troops to Xizhimen.
Originally, Ren Tianxiao got the news and dispatched troops to Xizhimen to resist the Chang'an camp. When the result came, he was dumbfounded!
What's going on?
Jia Yun actually entered the city? Chang'an camp also entered the city? Moreover, Jia Yun actually stayed with Chu Mingkai, the commander of the imperial guards? Is Chu Mingkai assisting Jia Yun in seizing the throne?
"The Admiral of the Nine Gates, Prince Zhongwu, learned that Chao Gang was in chaos and Shenjing was in turmoil, so he personally led an army of 40,000 Chang'an Camp troops to defend Shenjing and protect Chao Gang."
"The prince asked me to tell you that if you are willing to lead the nine-door infantry patrol to patrol the fifth battalion to assist the prince, after the prince's mission is completed, you will be the prince's confidant, and the prince is willing to make you the Duke of the country!"
"If you don't want to, you can stay out of the matter. Your Majesty will still reward you generously after your work is completed."
"If your Excellency leads the nine infantry troops to patrol against the resistance of the fifth battalion, everyone will be killed!"
It was Tong Dunxing who, under Jia Yun's instructions, stepped forward and shouted to Ren Tianxiao. After shouting, he immediately rode back to avoid being killed.
Ren Tianxiao hesitated.
Ren Tianxiao was loyal to Prince Yiping, but had no favorable impression of Jia Yun.
Moreover, just two-quarters of an hour ago, under the order of Prince Yiping, Ren Tianxiao suddenly sent a thousand troops to Prince Zhongwu's Mansion in an attempt to capture Jia Yun's family. Maybe there have been heavy casualties in Prince Zhongwu's Mansion now, and maybe Jia Yun has suffered heavy casualties.
Yun's family members have all been captured.
Under this situation, Ren Tianxiao believed that even if he surrendered to Jia Yun now, Jia Yun would not let him go, nor would he let Prince Yiping go.
In addition, based on the news passed by Zhang Wenxiang, Ren Tianxiao judged that the Chang'an camp army should not arrive so quickly, and what was coming now should only be a cavalry army.
After thinking this, Ren Tianxiao's expression darkened, and he asked one of his close soldiers to step forward and shout loudly to Jia Yun: "Admiral Lord Jiumen asked me to tell Prince Zhongwu that the prince's march to Beijing this time is no different from a rebellion.
, is also treasonous, please stop immediately..."
Before she could finish her words, Jia Yun interrupted loudly: "Bold!"
Jia Yun then raised the general's sword and shouted loudly: "All the officers and soldiers listen to the order. Ren Tianxiao, the admiral of the nine sects, rebelled against the imperial court and became a rebel. Arrest him immediately!"
Once upon a time, Jia Yun had three knives, namely the Sanyuan Knife, the First-class Guard Knife, and the Xiuchun Knife. Later, one Xiuchun Knife was missing, leaving two knives.
When Jia Yun was appointed as the General of the Northern Conquest half a year ago, in addition to the general's armor that Emperor Tianzhi gave him in person, he also received a general's sword before leaving the capital, which meant that Jia Yun had three swords again.
The general sword, like the general armor, is also a symbol of the general.
After Jia Yun obtained the General Sword, even though he fought in the Qing Dynasty for half a year, this General Sword never killed anyone. The reason is very simple. As a prince, prince, and general king, Jia Yun would not risk killing the enemy personally.
For Jia Yun, the main purpose of the general sword is to give orders!
For example, right now, Jia Yun just raised her sword and issued an order.
Following Jia Yun's sonorous and powerful order, Di Changping immediately led the Chang'an camp cavalry to charge forward. Fang Degong hesitated for a moment and then followed suit!
When things got to this point, even if Fang Degong was still a little afraid of failure and still a little reluctant, he had to bite the bullet and follow Jia Yun. What's more, with Chu Mingkai's assistance, Fang Degong also judged that Jia Yun would seize the throne this time.
The probability of success is very high.
Murderous aura permeates the air!
The murderous aura that reaches the sky penetrates Shenjing!
From now on, fierce street fighting begins in Shenjing City, a bustling market and densely populated city!
This kind of street fighting in the inner city of Shenjing City is inconvenient to use artillery, and the effect of shotguns is not good. Therefore, even if the Chang'an camp cavalry brought by Jia Yun does not bring artillery and shotguns, they still have an absolute advantage!
…
…
Yes, two quarters of an hour ago, under the order of Prince Yiping, Ren Tianxiao sent a thousand officers and soldiers of the Nine Gate Infantry to patrol the fifth battalion and went to Prince Zhongwu's Mansion in an attempt to capture Jia Yun's family members. The military attache who led them was called
Gu Hao.
Ren Tianxiao believes that there may have been heavy casualties in Prince Zhongwu's palace now, and that Jia Yun's family members may have been captured, but this is not the case in the development of the matter...
Chu Mingkai sent 800 imperial guards officers and soldiers to guard Prince Zhongwu's palace. The army was led by a military attaché named Jiang Yin, who was the deputy general officer of the fourth rank and a confidant of Chu Mingkai.
Chu Mingkai asked Jiang Yin to strictly guard the Prince Zhongwu's Mansion. Because of this, when Gu Hao led a thousand officers and soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol to the Prince Zhongwu's Mansion, the two sides had a dispute and a fierce battle ensued.
Upon seeing this, the palace chief Shi Yuzhu immediately led the palace guards to participate in the battle. Although the number of the palace guards was not large, their combat power was not weak, because some of the guards had extraordinary origins, and most of the guards came from Chang'an.
Battalion and Praetorian Guard.
The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour when the fifth patrol battalion of the Nine Gate Infantry was at a disadvantage and many people were killed or injured. In desperation, Gu Hao had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from Ren Tianxiao.
However, what Gu Hao never expected was that the reinforcements he was waiting for were not reinforcements from the Fifth Battalion of the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol, but two thousand enemy troops. Moreover, these two thousand enemy troops were not from the Imperial Guards, but from Chang'an.
camp!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Cao Wu led two thousand Chang'an camp cavalry to Prince Zhongwu's palace. He saw a fierce battle taking place in front of him, and the streets in front of the palace gate were full of people.
The color of corpses and blood...
"Stop!" Cao Wu shouted.
The Imperial Guards, the Royal Guards and the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol Battalions who were fighting fiercely all stopped one after another, not mainly because of Cao Wu's loud shout, but because of the menacing attack of the two thousand Chang'an Camp cavalry, which was quite shocking.
"Master Cao!" Yu Zhu shouted excitedly after discovering Cao Wu.
"Lord Lu!" Jiang Yin spotted Lu Wu and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Lu Wu was the commander of the Imperial Guard, a third-grade military attaché, and Jiang Yin's superior.
Under Chu Mingkai's order, Lu Wu followed Cao Wu to Prince Zhongwu's Mansion this time in order to transfer Jiang Yin and his imperial guards. Because Chu Mingkai asked Jiang Yin to strictly guard Prince Zhongwu's Mansion, if Lu Wu
If he doesn't come, even if Cao Wu leads the Chang'an camp cavalry, Jiang Yin will stop him.
"Master Jiang, what happened here?" Lu Wu asked seriously.
Jiang Yin said respectfully: "Lord Lu, I have been ordered to strictly guard the palace of Prince Zhongwu. The fifth patrol battalion of the Nine Gates Infantry suddenly came and said that I was ordered by the Lord Admiral of the Nine Gates to capture all the family members of the palace immediately. I dare not disobey."
I refused to comply with Master Chu's orders, and the enemy wanted to force their way in, so I had no choice but to lead my army to stop them."
Lu Wu nodded and looked at Cao Wu beside him.
Cao Wu looked at the officers and soldiers of the fifth patrolling battalion of the nine-door infantry in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Prince Zhongwu has personally led the Chang'an camp army to defend Shenjing and maintain the imperial court. You must get out of here, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Gu Hao, who was patrolling the fifth battalion of the Jiumen Infantry Army, hesitated for a moment and then left with his officers and soldiers.
What else can we do if we don't leave? Is it possible to patrol the five battalions of officers and soldiers with less than a thousand nine-door infantry and engage in a fierce battle with two thousand Chang'an camp cavalry?
What's more, there were also imperial guards and royal guards at the scene.
What's more, Cao Wu's words also shocked Gu Hao.
Seeing the fifth battalion of the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol retreating, Cao Wu did not stop them.
Having followed Jia Yun for many years, especially after half a year of experience in the Northern War, Cao Wu is now more restrained in his recklessness, and he is obedient to Jia Yun's orders. Jia Yun asked him to guard the palace of Prince Zhongwu this time.
, everything is based on the safety of the royal family and the family, do not be reckless, and do not participate in unnecessary battles.
After the fifth battalion of the nine-door infantry patrol withdrew, Cao Wu bowed his hand to Lu Wu and said: "Master Lu, please let the brothers of the Imperial Guard withdraw. From now on, I will guard the palace of Prince Zhongwu.
"
Lu Wu understood and immediately ordered the Imperial Guard officers and soldiers on the scene to retreat. At the same time, under Cao Wu's arrangement, the Chang'an camp cavalry tightly surrounded Prince Zhongwu's palace...
At this time, Yu Zhu walked up to Cao Wu and asked respectfully: "Master Cao, has my prince returned to Beijing?"
Cao Wu smiled slightly and immediately told Zhu about the relevant situation.
Cao Wu was very familiar with Yu Zhu, and Cao Wu also admired Yu Zhu, not only because Yu Zhu served as the captain of Jia Yun's personal soldiers and the chief historian of the palace, but also because Yu Zhu was once Cao Wei's personal soldier.
Yu Zhu was not very surprised after hearing this. In fact, when he learned that Emperor Tianzhi had been assassinated and died, and when he urgently sent Tong Dunxing to inform Jia Yun, he had already expected that Jia Yun would probably raise an army to seize the throne.
Yu Zhu was not very surprised, but very excited.
When the Prince's Palace was attacked by the Fifth Battalion of the Nine-men Infantry Patrol just now, Yu Zhu was worried. He was worried that Jia Yun's family would be captured, and he was also worried that he and his family would end badly.
Well now, Jia Yun led the Chang'an camp to Beijing to seize the throne, and received the assistance of Chu Mingkai, the commander of the imperial guards. In addition, even if Cao Wu didn't say it, Yu Zhu knew that Cao Wei would definitely assist Jia Yun.
This means that Jia Yun has a high chance of succeeding in seizing the throne, and once Jia Yun becomes emperor, he will naturally be a close confidant...
Without thinking much for a moment, Yu Zhu said to Cao Wu: "Master Cao, the war just now has frightened the princess and the wife in the palace. I will go back to the princess and the wife right away. I just have something to ask Master Cao. Regarding the prince,
Do you allow me to tell the truth to the princess and madam about the raising of troops?"
Yu Zhu has followed Jia Yun for many years and knows that Jia Yun has always been cautious. Moreover, if he tells Xue Baochai and Bu Wuniang truthfully about this matter, it will inevitably make them worried.
Cao Wudao: "Your Majesty didn't tell me about this. I'm thinking about it. Just tell the truth. Even if you hide it, you won't be able to keep it secret for long."
Yu Zhu nodded. He knew the relationship between Cao Wu and Jia Yun. Since Cao Wu said so, he would do it. And according to his understanding of Jia Yun, if Jia Yun wanted to conceal the matter, he would definitely let Cao Wu do it.
admonish him.
Cao Wu immediately said: "Right now, I have the important responsibility of guarding the palace, and I am in a dusty state. It is inconvenient for me to pay my respects to the queen. Please remember to say hello to the princess and the queen for me."
Yu Zhu said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Cao."
…
…
In the Yang'en Hall of the inner palace of Prince Zhongwu, many people gathered at the moment, including Bu Wuniang, Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, Ying'er, Second Sister You, Third Sister You,
Nanxiang, Ruizhu, Baozhu, etc.
Time flies, Qin Keqing has been living in the palace for more than half a year.
Originally everything was fine in the palace, and the best thing was that Xue Baochai was pregnant.
However, just a few days ago, Emperor Tianzhi was suddenly assassinated and died, which shocked the female relatives in the palace. Later, the imperial guards came to "guard" the palace, and the female relatives became worried.
Later, the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor suddenly came, and the female relatives were shocked again.
And just now, a fierce battle suddenly took place outside the palace, which frightened the female family members even more...
At this time, the steward's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Feng, came in and said respectfully: "Princess, Madam, Sir Chang Shi has asked to see you, saying that I have something important to report."
There is no rule without rules, let alone a large prince's palace. Because Xue Baochai's status as the princess is more noble than Bu Wuniang's status as Jia Yun's adoptive mother, when people in the palace address the two of them, they usually put Xue Baochai first.
When Bu Wuniang heard this, she looked at Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai smiled slightly and said, "See you, Madam. I'll stay out of the way."
After saying this, Xue Baochai stood up and walked behind the Bisha cabinet, and most of the other female relatives followed.
Xue Baochai was a person who valued etiquette and rules. She would not meet even Yu Zhu, a long history official.
Yu Zhu walked into the hall and said respectfully to Bu Wuniang: "To Madam Qi, the war outside the mansion has subsided."
Bu Wuniang asked quickly: "How to calm down?"
Yu Zhudao: "Your Majesty has led the Chang'an Camp army to the capital, and sent Master Cao Wu to lead 2,000 Chang'an Camp officers and soldiers to guard the palace. Master Cao is on guard and is in a dusty state, so it is inconvenient for him to come to see him in person. Let me take his place.
Greetings, Princess, Madam."
As soon as these words came out, not only Bu Wuniang was surprised, but also the female relatives who were hiding behind the blue silk cabinet were also surprised. However, Xue Baochai heard the deep meaning and thought in her heart: "What is he leading the Chang'an camp army to Beijing for?"
Bu Wuniang asked with joy on her face: "The prince is back? Where is he now?"
Yu Zhu paused and said: "Your Majesty is personally leading the Chang'an camp army to defend Shenjing and maintain the imperial court. The commander of the Imperial Guard is assisting Your Majesty."
Bu Wuniang: "..."
She didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while.
Xue Baochai, who was in the Bisha cupboard, immediately understood and exclaimed in her heart: "My husband is seizing the throne!"
