"Wei Zhuo, you can solve this problem, but I don't know if you will agree." Xiao An said.
Zhuo Yan was puzzled: "General An, please clarify."
"Guard Zhuo, even though my father is now married to the city lord, the general's situation in your Anyu country with thousands of soldiers and horses is still unjust and unjust.
Of course, you can get through if you force your way through, but there are really not many city checkpoints that you have to go through to get to the capital. You have to fight through all the checkpoints, so you don’t know how long it will take.
So, Guard Zhuo, can you go with me, General?
You are a person close to the prince, and you have gone back and forth here with him several times. The city guards along the way all know you, so this trip will go much smoother." Xiao An explained the purpose of his visit.
After hearing Xiao An's words, Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up. Such words were great. He had wanted to go with his master.
"My subordinate, there is no problem. It's just that the prince left me here before he left. If I leave, would I be disobeying the prince's order?" Zhuo Yan said with some embarrassment.
"Just say whether you are willing to go. If you are willing, don't worry about anything else. I will take care of everything. If I can't handle it, I can ask your wife to intercede for you. It will be absolutely no problem." Xiao An was very confident.
Guaranteed.
"Yes, of course my subordinates are willing. General, wait a moment, I will make arrangements right away." Zhuo Yan finished speaking very excitedly, and without waiting for Xiao An's response, he turned around and went to the camp.
Not long after, he came over on horseback carrying a package.
Because Zhuo Yan was traveling with him, the journey went smoothly. However, after three days of traveling, he still could not catch up with He Zexu.
Xiao An admired his father even more for leading the troops. He led the troops day and night, but he still couldn't catch up with his father.
Besides, He Zexu, who led the army on a rapid march, his entourage, and the generals all found that this prince was different from before. Although the situation in the capital was severe and King Ji was very serious along the way, everyone just felt that he
It's not as cold as before.
They felt that King Ji had become more easy-going.
However, officials in the cities along the way didn't think so.
A few months ago, when King Yu changed his mind at the Capital Palace, when Prince Ji returned to the capital, King Yu's people blocked him along the way. Not only did they fail to stop Prince Ji, but they also ended up miserable.
In addition to disposing of it on the spot, they were also like thieves, not counting their homes being ransacked, but also selling off their property.
Officials from all over the country heard about this incident.
Therefore, in this situation, no one dared to make things difficult for King Ji, for fear that they would commit suicide and let King Ji be accused of disobedience and rebellion. Therefore, when King Ji passed by, not only did he not make things difficult, he also readily opened the city gate and returned the favor.
Prepared a donation of food and grass.
Some even took the initiative to send troops to help.
Although the number of people is not large, they still show their attitude and loyalty.
Whether it's food, grass, soldiers or horses, it's all trivial. It's a hundred times better than having a conflict with King Ji and losing your life, property, and official position.
Officials in each city felt that if they were dealt with by the prince, even if the emperor knew the inside story later, he would not hold the prince responsible or convict him.
When He Zexu arrived with his army, the rebels had already reached the gate of the capital.
He Zexu simply ordered no one to come forward to persuade him to surrender, and directly ordered the fight to begin.
Officials along the way heard that officials from the city ahead had prepared food and fodder for King Ji, and they were not to be outdone and followed suit.
Therefore, even if there was a rapid march for several days, the troops and horses had sufficient food and grass, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and generals was not affected at all.
However, the rebellious party cannot do that. They rely on robbing food and grass along the way, which is time-consuming and laborious. Otherwise, they would not have reached the gate of the capital just now.
In addition, the three rebel armies had differences and gaps due to the unfair distribution of food and grass and the disparity in the number of soldiers and horses lost along the way.
The leaders of the three parties all wanted to sit on the dragon's chair in the palace, and they all wisely wanted to preserve their own strength to avoid being eliminated after they invaded the capital.
Such disagreements have been made public. If the three rebels unite, they can still compete with He Zexu's troops. But now that the situation is approaching, who are the three parties still fighting for?
People attack the city first and argue with each other.
So, following He Zexu's order, it only took a stick of incense to end the battle.
The rebel soldiers who surrender their weapons more slowly will never have the chance to beg for mercy.
Originally, I wanted to follow the leader, invade the capital, enjoy the hot food, drink spicy food, and change my destiny with rewards based on merit, but now I have thrown my life away.
In the palace, Emperor He Ganyun, who had prepared for the worst, comforted the queen and concubines, saying that if they were destined to encounter such a disaster, they had no choice but to obey fate.
He did not issue an order to let the concubines and queens commit suicide in order to preserve their chastity and not be humiliated by the rebels.
However, Eunuch Lu suddenly crawled into the palace, crying loudly and shouting: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. King Ji has arrived with his troops and has wiped out all the rebels."
If he hadn't heard the words "Hongfu Qitian", He Ganyun would have drank the poisonous wine he had prepared long ago.
"Xu'er, my son will never let me down." He Qianyun was also in tears.
Outside the palace, the officials who were already trembling and ashen-faced, as well as some officials who were ready to be buried for His Majesty, could not believe their ears.
This time, was there another near miss? It was Prince Ji who took care of it again?
Everyone quickly arranged their robes and rushed outside the main hall where His Majesty was.
He Zexu entered the palace with a few followers, while the other soldiers and horses stayed outside the palace to repair.
Outside the main hall, all the civil and military officials greeted King Ji with admiring eyes. No matter whether they liked this person before or not, now they just like him.
"Father, I came here late because I was drunk. Please forgive me." He Zexu, whose armor was stained with blood, knelt down on one knee at the door of the hall to meet He Ganyun.
"Prince Zexu, get up quickly. It's too late for my father to reward you, so how can I blame you?" He Ganyun was very excited and stepped forward to help his son up with his own hands.
