Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth come to the rescue
Suddenly so many soldiers and horses appeared, squeezing the Guards on a small road. Those people were not afraid of life and death and rushed over like Guards.
Those who dare to assassinate the emperor will naturally put their lives at risk. As long as they succeed, they may be rewarded with wealth and glory for several generations of the family, which can be said to be a step to the sky.
Not everyone has the opportunity to assassinate the emperor.
At first, the emperor ordered his personal guards to kill the enemy, and then he began to flee in confusion under the protection of his personal guards. When they left the palace, they had already deviated from the main road, and no matter how good the horses were, they could not perform well on this trail.
Yu Jiang could now be sure that his guess was correct. Ever since they set out on the road back to Beijing, they seemed to have been closely watched. These soldiers were probably not from Song Chengxuan, but related to the Zhang family.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's personal expedition, the Zhang family wanted to change their surname to Yi Dai? By blaming the cause of the emperor's death on Song Chengxuan, the Zhang family could kill the rebels openly.
At this point, we can only rush out first and then find a way out.
It's a pity for these pro-army troops. Normally they can fight one against ten, but now many of them are lost here because they can't use their skills.
Seeing that his many years of hard work were in vain, the emperor had no time to feel sad and fled with his people.
"There are soldiers and horses surrounding the emperor," General Ni said. "I'm afraid we won't be able to return the way we came."
"Maybe we should go west," Yu Jiang said. "Further ahead is Hejian Mansion. Zhang Yuci once bought a lot of land in Hejian. Many Zhang family members are there." Hejian Mansion is the place of the Zhang family.
If the Zhang family came to assassinate the emperor, Hejian Mansion would be even more dangerous.
General Ni didn't understand why Yu Jiang mentioned the Zhang family.
Yu Jiang looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you don't make a decision now, I'm afraid it's too late. The road to the east has been blocked. You can't go to Hejian in the north. We might as well go all the way west to Shunde. When we get to the government office over there, we can still go.
Gather troops and horses and deliver the message. If they dare to take action against you, the emperor, they have already betrayed you. They will not give up until they achieve their goal. If they fail to do so once, they will gather more people to chase after you."
General Ni heard some mystery from Yu Jiang's mouth: "You said those people are not rebels?"
"It's not a rebellion," Yu Jiang said, "it's the Zhang family. It seems to the Emperor that the Zhang family is taking advantage of the opportunity to plot something. The news coming from the capital must be a decoy, asking the Emperor to leave the camp so that he can take action on the way."
After Yu Jiang finished speaking, he looked at the emperor sincerely: "Your Majesty, you must not go further north. The Zhang family must have ambushed soldiers and horses there. At the moment, we can only retreat to Shunde first. As long as the news is sent, the army will come to rescue Zhang."
The family's plan will not succeed."
The emperor was ambushed again and again, and he already had doubts about the news sent by Zhang Jingshu. This damn woman dared to lie to him.
In the past two years, Zhang Jingshu pretended to have betrayed the Queen Mother and the Zhang family, imitating Queen Yu and serving him wholeheartedly. He even separated Zhang Jingshu from the Zhang family, but at this time, Zhang Jingshu colluded with the Zhang family...
The crime cannot be forgiven. When he returns to the capital, he will destroy the Zhang family.
"Go to Shunde," the emperor said, "and let people find ways to send a message so that King Cheng and Marquis Rongping can come to Shunde quickly to rescue him."
…
When King Cheng walked into the tent, he saw Marquis Rongping and others looking anxious. They got the news that the emperor had suddenly returned to Beijing, taking many of his guards with him.
Everyone speculated that something must have happened in Beijing.
King Cheng couldn't help but shook his head secretly. As soon as Prince Shunyang arrived, he knew that things were going to take a turn for the better. As the saying goes, the king and his ministers help envoys. Prince Shunyang was the "envoy", so it was almost done when he came.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
Song Chengxuan must have guessed something.
Alas, a wise man always stands tall and sees far, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't admire him. Even if he wants to defend the emperor to death, the emperor must be able to stand.
Now that the emperor has left like this, the royal army is in chaos and people's hearts are floating. If something happens at this time, I am afraid the situation will collapse. Who will be in charge of important events then?
"Battle report."
The shouts woke up everyone in the general's tent, and everyone immediately raised their heads.
"Quanzhou Navy is coming to Anton Guard."
Zhai Song immediately asked, "Where is General Wei?"
The deputy general shook his head: "General Wei's whereabouts are unknown. Someone saw him being captured by Xue Chen."
General Wei was defeated, and at a time like this, what should we do next?
Zhai Song looked at Marquis Rongping and King Cheng: "At this time, we let the soldiers and horses from the southeast land at Andongwei. How will we explain to the emperor in the future?"
The emperor was furious and asked whether they could block the soldiers and horses from the southeast.
Why did it happen at this time...
There was a sudden noise in the big tent.
"General Wei knows the navy best. I didn't expect that he would lose to Xue Chen. Now it seems that we can only let the governor of the guard station lead his troops and stop Xue Chen at all costs."
Everyone is discussing.
Another scout sent news: "The southeastern army has moved and has already arrived at Shuyang."
"What should we do? We need to report this to the emperor. Should we ask Prince Ning to come forward and mobilize the Fengyang army to go to Shuyang to increase troops?"
There was a buzzing sound in Zhai Song's ears. It started too smoothly, so the emperor underestimated the enemy, thinking that General Wei could stop Xue Chen by relying on the waterway. Song Chengxuan had long been frightened to the point of defending the southeast and refused to go out.
But now the waterway was captured at the first sight, and once Shuyang fell, half of the Zhou Dynasty would fall into the hands of Song Chengxuan.
Zhai Song looked at King Cheng and Marquis Rongping again. Someone must lead troops to Shuyang to take charge of the overall situation.
"It's better to report it to the Emperor," Rongping Houhuan said, "The Emperor is personally conducting the expedition, and none of us dare to touch the King's Master without permission."
Zhai Song also knows this truth, but where is the emperor now?
Before the emperor left, he ordered Marquis Rongping and King Cheng to take charge of the central army's tent. They could handle small matters, but such a big matter... involving military power, no one dared to make decisions easily.
Zhai Song said: "It seems that we can only ask people to leave for the capital immediately." Although he knew that it would definitely be too late, he could only arrange it this way at the moment.
The generals in the tent were still discussing the war. Zhai Song went out and wanted to take a breath. As soon as he opened the curtain, he immediately saw several people walking towards this side quickly. The people walking in front were in a mess, as if they had gone through a big battle.
A fierce fight, and... this person looks like a personal guard.
Zhai Song's heart seemed to sink, and his feet felt a little weak. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What's wrong? Where is the Emperor?"
"Master Zhai, the emperor has been attacked. Prince Cheng and Marquis Rongping are ordered to go to the rescue immediately."
The house leaked and it rained all night. Zhai Song felt as if the top of his head had exploded. How could it happen at such a time...
"Who is it?" Zhai Song grabbed the guard's shoulders.
"The Zhang family...is the Zhang family..."
King Cheng walked out of the tent just in time to hear these words. The Zhang family took the opportunity to rebel, and the emperor could not return to the capital.
"Your Majesty," Zhai Song saw King Cheng and grasped at a life-saving straw, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
…
Shuyang City.
The southeastern army came to the city, and at first sight it was dark.
The defenders of Shuyang couldn't help but feel frightened. They didn't expect that there would be so many soldiers and horses in the southeast. If they had the choice, no one would be willing to fight to the death with such a force of soldiers and horses.
Magistrate Lu looked at the letter in his hand with a cold expression: "Song Chengxuan actually asked us to open the city gate within three days and go north with him to fight against the enemy.
What kind of enemy are you fighting against? He, a traitor to the Party, has such a tone."
