(ps: Today’s fifth update is here. I’m going to eat after the update. Let’s go eat after reading this. Don’t be hungry...) When Xu Chu heard that he was about to retreat, he was a little angry and asked: "Kill the motherfucker, anyway.
We are going to oppose it, so who should we kill?”
"Zhong Kang must not be reckless. Gao Fei is not part of the plan. Leave as quickly as possible and leave some people behind to block them. Let's return to our lord as soon as possible!" Among the three, only Xia Houyuan was the calmest. As the leading commander in the Wei Kingdom in the past,
The general's ability to assess the situation is not ambiguous at all. "Immediately spread rumors that the Chinese soldiers and horses have arrived at the city, trying to cover up the situation!"
After Xiahou Dun heard this, he felt that this method was feasible. He took a look at the ten swordsmen and found that it was indeed not suitable to break through. Moreover, Xu Chu was still fighting fiercely with them. He was trapped among them and was covered by the sword net. The Guyue Sword could only parry. He hurriedly shouted
Said: "Zhongkang retreat quickly!"
Xu Chu was not angry, but he had no choice. He really couldn't break through the sword formation. He just felt that these ten people cooperated tacitly, both offensively and defensively, and made up for each other's shortcomings. On the contrary, they forced him to the point where he couldn't help it.
"Grandma, you're a bear! I'm taking advantage of you!" Xu Chu shouted, and Gu Yue's sword slashed wildly. After forcing him back from the sword formation, he jumped out.
"Go!" Xiahou Yuan gave the order, and Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu immediately withdrew with more than a hundred people, leaving forty or fifty people behind to block the main road, shouting loudly along the way that the Chinese army was approaching the city.
There were no famous generals in these Qin armies, but they were very orderly. They were all led by Sima of each army, assisting each other, and quickly wiped out the fifty or sixty people.
Rivers of blood flowed and corpses were everywhere. The Qin army won this street battle, but they got the news that the Chinese army was approaching the city. They hurriedly sent people to report it and reinforced each city gate as soon as possible.
When the Qin army entered the civilian house, the ten swordsmen had already retreated, each using their light body skills, and ran towards the east gate of Chang'an City.
Chang'an City is now in chaos. Troops can be seen everywhere. The cavalry gallops back and forth in the city. The infantry are running through the streets and alleys, and searching door to door.
After the "horse-killing" operation officially started, all the anti-Qin forces hidden in Chang'an City united and attacked in groups. Mobs could be seen everywhere, and everyone headed towards the palace to kill.
Ma Chao took the candidates, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu and his subordinates to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Ma Teng wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. He looked very impressive under the guard of Wang Shuang and other imperial guards.
It's majestic.
"Father, why did you come out?" Ma Chao galloped to Ma Teng's side. He did not pay homage, but just held his hand in a symbolic gesture and asked.
Ma Teng said: "I have received news that there is chaos in Chang'an City and mobs are everywhere. What is going on?"
Ma Chao said: "My minister has sent people to investigate..."
He did not tell Ma Teng the news about Gao Fei's stay here. This matter was too important and it was undoubtedly a shame for them.
"Report!" A fast horse galloped over and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu openly rebelled, opened the west gate, and welcomed the rebels in. And...Cao Cao
...Cao Cao and his old troops suddenly appeared in Chang'an City, and there were also some civil and military ministers who led their own private soldiers to set fires and cause chaos everywhere..."
"He actually got what he said? How dare Chen Changwen and Yang Dezuan do this!" Ma Chao was astonished and regretful, hating himself for not believing Gao Fei's words. But who can put this kind of thing in his hands, and who can believe a hostile person?
What about the words of the emperor of the country?
"Don't be afraid. As long as the army is in our hands, we will immediately mobilize all soldiers and horses to put down the rebellion. Anyone who resists will be suppressed!" Ma Teng's courage was still there and he immediately shouted.
Ma Chao asked: "Except for the west gate, what about the other gates?"
"The rest of the city gates are safe and sound. Only the east gate came with news that Chinese troops were approaching the city..."
"This must be a rumor, don't believe it easily." Ma Chao immediately shouted, "Father, while you are here in the palace, I will lead a thousand cavalry to the west gate. I want to see who dares to disobey my orders!"
The three candidates, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin, saw the opportunity coming and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, we are willing to mobilize our troops to go to Ximen to quell the rebellion."
The three of them were Ma Teng's old subordinates, so Ma Teng naturally trusted them. But he didn't know that the rift between the three of them and Ma Chao was getting bigger and bigger, and they were also involved in this matter. He nodded immediately and said:
"Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, you two go to the north gate to mobilize troops and rush to the west gate. Candidate, you go to the east gate to mobilize troops, and then start killing the rebels in the city from east to west. Wang Shuang, you go and take over the south gate!
"
Ma Chao heard this and asked: "Father, what about you?"
"I have the protection of these imperial guards, not to mention my skill, it is extremely difficult to get close." Ma Teng is absolutely right. Although his martial arts is not as brave as his son Ma Chao, he is still a great master in the northwest.
Ma Chao said: "Well, the candidates, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin, please quickly mobilize your troops and put down the rebellion with your own troops and horses. After that, you will all be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
The candidates, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yin looked at each other with greedy expressions on their faces, clasped their fists and said, "No!"
"Wang Shuang, go and take over the south gate. All ten thousand troops and horses will be under your command. In addition, Prince Liang's Mansion may not be safe. You should quickly send people to take Prince Liang and others out of Chang'an. Let Prince Liang and others escort the rest first.
Go to Hanzhong." Ma Chao has already prepared for the worst. He is afraid of hurting King Liang and the others, so he takes this strategy because he wants to go on a killing spree, bloodbath the city of Chang'an, and kill all those who rebel against him!
"No!" Wang Shuang rode out alone.
Ma Chao bowed to Ma Teng and said, "Father, I will go to Ximen to quell the rebellion. Please ask my father to garrison the palace. Even if there is an attack, as long as you guard the palace gate, the rebels will not be able to invade."
"Well, you go ahead. Be careful and capture Chen Qun and Yang Xiu alive. I will kill them myself!" Ma Teng said.
"My son, I obey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao rode towards the west gate with a thousand cavalry.
When Ma Teng saw that Ma Chao had not gone far, his eyes showed a hint of chill, and he immediately said to the imperial guards behind him: "Follow me!"
The imperial guards followed Ma Teng closely, but Ma Teng took the lead and galloped forward quickly. He thought to himself: "Chen Qun and Yang Xiu openly rebelled. Chen Shi and Yang Biao must be related. I want to wash away Zhuque Street with blood.
Kill the Chen family and the Yang family to avoid future troubles."
His emperor was very cowardly. He was held hostage by his son when he ascended the throne. Although he was extremely reluctant, his son wanted to be the emperor, so he had to hold on. He knew his son better than his father. He was willing to bear all the charges for his son Ma Chao.
, then pass the position to the horse
When he surpasses, he can clear all obstacles. Originally, he thought that by re-emphasizing the Chen family, the Yang family would enable them to assist Ma Chao, but the open rebellion of Chen Qun and Yang Xiu made him realize that this was the root of all evil and smoothed the way.
, is the most important thing.
Ten thousand imperial guardsmen were pulled out of the palace by Ma Teng in a mighty manner. They encountered many rebels wearing white clothes and armor wherever they passed. Ma Teng did not need to take action at all, and the front vanguard had cleared them out.
, swept away a wide road, and headed directly towards Zhuque Street.
Yang Xiu had placed some people in the imperial army, but they were only a few after all. At this time, due to self-protection, he did not take action, but followed Ma Teng and others to Zhuque Street.
After the candidate, Cheng Yin, and Yang Qiu left the palace, Yang Qiu said to the candidate and Cheng Yin privately: "The reason why we participated in the 'horse killing' operation is simply because Ma Chao did not reward us for our merits. He just said that if we
If the counterinsurgency is successful, then
They will make us Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Think about it, there are so many people who beheaded their horses. After the horses are beheaded, there will inevitably be disputes over who will be the emperor. We might as well just kill those who beheaded their horses. Anyway, we know their plan.
, it’s also convenient to kill..."
The candidates, Cheng Yin, looked at each other and both said: "It makes sense..." "Then we will help Ma Chao suppress the rebellion. We are the key now. We will fall to Zhan Ma's gang. Zhan Ma has already deployed so many people."
For a long time, even if this kind of chaos occurs, there is no suspense, and after killing the horse, we may not get that much. There is a big difference between a piece of cake that can be eaten by a hundred people and ten people."
Yang Qiu further explained.
The candidate said: "Hmm, Ma Chao needs us now. The city gate has only opened the west gate. As long as we don't open the north gate, those Qiang people can't attack. Then we will kill all the people who killed the horse. Who knows that we have participated in the horse killing?"
?”
"What a clever idea. I was fooled by Chen Changwen before. This time I personally help the prince, and I will definitely get a lot of rewards." Cheng Yin also agreed.
Yang Qiu chuckled and said: "Then, let's make a decision. We will first clean up the horse-killing elements in Chang'an City, and then gather our troops to drive out the rebels who have poured in from Ximen!"
"Okay!" Candidate, Cheng and Yin nodded heavily.
As soon as the words fell, the three people immediately split up. Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu's soldiers and horses were transferred to the north gate by Ma Chao, and they went to the north gate. The candidates' soldiers and horses were transferred to the east gate, so they galloped towards the east gate.
The three people are capricious and flaunt their interests, which is also a major criticism of Xiliang people.
At this moment, Liu Yu drove a carriage to the east gate of Chang'an City and was the first to arrive. What he saw was a different scene. There were actually many more soldiers and horses at the east gate. He hurriedly stopped the carriage, jumped down, and got on.
He grabbed a soldier and asked, "Whose subordinate are you?"
The soldier looked very worried, glanced at Liu Yu, and replied arrogantly: "What do you care about?"
Liu Yu didn't ask any more questions. He ran directly to the city gate and asked his subordinates. The subordinates told him that this was the candidate. He immediately returned to the carriage and said to Gao Fei: "Mr. Tang, you all said it was me."
family, I can make money and open the city gate."
Gao Fei nodded and saw the candidate's subordinates standing lazily by the city gate. The cavalry and infantry were all waiting. There was no formation at all. He knew what the combat effectiveness of this group of people was. He looked back at Chang'an.
City, I saw beacon smoke rising everywhere in the city, and thick smoke was billowing everywhere. Some people were unwilling to sit still and wait for death. As soon as they went out, they encountered the army and were blocked back. You can imagine the tragic situation.
"Hey! I hope the ancient capital of Chang'an will not become a pile of scorched earth again..."
