Chapter 135 Are you going to be my enemy to Su Lu?
In front of the imperial city gate, troops and horses gathered.
Xiahou Wei, wearing silver and white armor, was riding on a white horse and asked the imperial guards guarding the palace gate.
"Commander Zuo, your Zuo Palace Guards are so calm and relaxed. It seems like there is nothing going on in the west city. My old man came here in vain."
Zuo Baoxiang, the commander of Zuogong Guards, looked respectful:
"Why did the Marquis say this? With the Marquis in charge, everything is safe. The Marquis is my great man's magic needle. With the Marquis here in charge, those young people can't make waves."
Xia Houwei glanced at Tang Ke next to him:
"Where is Li Xun?"
Tang Ke turned around and asked the soldiers, with a serious look on his face:
"Still at the west city gate, I was held back by people from the patrol camp."
Xia Houwei stroked his beard, and there was no sadness or joy in his voice:
"Su Lu still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Although the several battle formation changes he summed up are mediocre, they are very effective. With such a talented general, it is just a piece of cake to stop that good-for-nothing Cao Yan."
Tang Ke's face turned red and he said nothing.
In the past, he and Cao Yan fought together on the battlefield, and their results were evenly matched. The old marquis called Cao Yan a waste, and Tang Ke felt like he was a waste too.
The troops stood in silence, waiting quietly.
Zuo Baoxiang felt something was wrong.
The old Marquis of Xiahou was ordered to enter the capital, and he should have sent troops to guard various places. Why, all the soldiers from the Dongcheng camp were piled at the entrance of the palace, as if they were besieging the palace.
The sky was getting darker, and Zuo Baoxiang's anxiety became more and more serious. After recruiting several forbidden troops, Zuo Baoxiang gave a few words, and then mobilized the forbidden troops in front of the door, ready to seal the palace at any time.
Xia Houwei glanced at the movements of the imperial army, sneered, and said nothing.
The moon was high in the sky, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard on Dongmen Street. A group of silver-armored soldiers came on horseback. The infantry behind them were in ragged uniforms. Among the crowd, Li Xun, a man with silver helmet and silver armor, arrived.
Cao Yan came on horseback and saluted Xia Houwei from a few meters away.
"I've met the old Marquis."
Xia Houwei snorted in his nostrils and said nothing. Tang Ke next to him sneered:
"Old Cao, you are too slow. You can't even take down the patrol camp. If Su Lu takes control of his Dingxiang Army, will you kill all the Xicheng Camp at the Xicheng Gate?"
Cao Yan blushed and said angrily:
"You didn't break the palace door, everyone is talking to each other."
Next to Tang Ke, a governor taunted loudly:
"If we hadn't waited for you, we would have entered the palace long ago."
At the palace gate, Zuo Baoxiang's expression changed?
Tang Ke actually rebelled and commanded the imperial army to seal the palace without hesitation. Seeing the approaching emperor Luan Jia, Zuo Baoxiang jumped off the palace wall.
"Your Majesty, Tang Ke's Dongcheng camp troops have rebelled. Chen Bing's palace gate, please return as soon as possible."
The officials who were accompanying him immediately burst into an uproar.
The Xicheng camp rebelled, and the Dongcheng camp also rebelled. Tens of thousands of people in both camps were dead.
Li Qing came on horseback and asked Zuo Baoxiang with a pale face:
"Commander Zuo, you have to think carefully. The Dongcheng camp is guarded by Mr. Xiahou, how can it be possible for him to rebel?"
Li Dingyuan got off the Luanjia, looked at Zuo Baoxiang, and his voice trembled:
"Zuo Qing, did Xia Houwei also rebel and join forces with that traitor?"
Zuo Baoxiang nodded.
Li Dingyuan looked up to the sky and sighed, then raised his feet and walked forward.
Gao Zhan stopped the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the army gathering at the palace gate is dangerous."
Li Dingyuan snorted coldly:
"Danger? It won't be dangerous if I return to Qinzheng Palace. He, Xiahou Wei, is waiting for me to see him at the gate of Chenbing Palace."
Li Qing also stopped Li Dingyuan:
"Father, the Fourth Northern Army of the Xiangding Guards is in the inner city. The South City Camp and the North City Camp should not have rebelled yet. You don't need to put yourself in danger. The reinforcements have arrived and the crisis will be solved."
Li Dingyuan gave a wry smile: "If the soldiers from the West City Camp can reach the palace gate, Su Lu is probably in danger. This time, Su Lu has disappointed me."
Li Dingyuan stood on the palace wall, looking at the dark army outside. He felt bad. This was all my army, but now it has become the support of rebellion.
Xia Houwei rode forward and saluted Li Dingyuan with clasped fists:
"I have seen Your Majesty, Xia Houwei. He is wearing armor, so he cannot perform the courtesy properly."
Li Dingyuan waved his hand:
"Xiahou, I have underestimated the status of your grandson in your heart. Your military life is no match for an unworthy descendant."
Xia Houwei smiled bitterly:
"At this time and thing, if there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, I will naturally lie dormant and let my children and grandchildren die under the butcher's knife. Now that your Majesty's house is uneasy, if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, I will naturally not let it go."
Li Xun hid in the crowd and shouted:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Attack the city and destroy Li Dingyuan. Then all the benefits I promised you will be fulfilled, not to mention amnesty for your descendants."
Xia Houwei bowed his hand to Li Dingyuan, stepped back, and raised his arm to order an attack on the imperial palace.
Li Qing suddenly asked:
"Old Marquis, may I ask how Su Lu is doing now? After the Xicheng soldiers broke through Xicheng, how many people from the Dingxiang army and the patrol camp are still alive?"
Xia Houwei was stunned for a moment. Su Lu must be alive, but he couldn't guess how many people in the Dingxiang army and patrol camp were still alive, but there must be a lot of them. Li Xun and Cao Yan are idiots, even the west city gate
None were broken.
Cao Yan's old face turned red. It's really embarrassing to say that the result of this battle was embarrassing. If tens of thousands of people attacked the city but failed to capture it, it would be easy to say. However, the attack and defense in the city gate cave was still cavalry versus infantry. It is embarrassing to talk about the result of the battle.
Li Xun shouted impatiently:
"Everyone is dead, the regiment is destroyed, hurry up and break the palace ban, Xia Houwei, this king... I order you to attack the city quickly."
Li Qing's vision went dark and he almost fell off the palace wall. Fortunately, Gao Zhan had quick eyesight and caught her.
Li Dingyuan glanced at Li Qing and asked Li Xun in the crowd:
"Li Xun, you rebellious son, after a hundred years, these thousands of miles of land will be yours. You rebellious son, can't you wait even these few years?"
Li Xun hid in the crowd and laughed:
"I'm curious, Li Dingyuan, I'm curious, why did your only son betray you?"
"Hahaha, I just won't tell you, Xia Houwei, attack the city. The night is long and you have many dreams, so hurry up and attack the city."
Xia Houwei's eyes narrowed and he looked into the distance.
Tang Ke rolled his saddle and dismounted, put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, then got up and said:
"Master Marquis, there is an enemy with light armor coming, it should be from the direction of Xicheng."
Xia Houwei looked towards Xicheng, his eyes flashed with brilliance under the surrounding torches:
"Su Lu, this guy is a genius. He saw a genius extinguished in his own hands, hahaha."
In the distance, two long torches appeared from the corner, and the Dingxiang army came galloping towards them.
When Li Xun saw the Dingxiang Army in the firelight, he couldn't help but shrink back into the crowd. After a moment, he suddenly became bolder when he thought that Xia Houwei, a veteran of the army, was in front of him.
Cao Yan is a waste. Even if Tang Ke is a waste like him, Xia Houwei is not a waste.
I'm afraid of wool.
Su Lu's voice sounded far away:
"Master Marquis, why are you getting involved with rebellion? Are you trying to make an enemy of me, Su Lu?"
