Chapter 113 Luo Yanqing will never live in the world
"Zhao Yingyuan!? Why did you come to Luoyang without permission? What happened in Guanzhong?"
Zhao Yingyuan was originally Luo Rucai's deputy general of banners and drums, and was also one of the generals of Cao Ying's old army at this time. He was originally ordered to deliver grain to the Tongguan area and build a granary and warehouse in Guancheng to do the work of supporting the reinforcements coming out of the pass.
Luo Yanqing was very familiar with Zhao Yingyuan and knew that he was a general in Cao Ying's old army who was very close to the camp. So when he saw Zhao Yingyuan covered in wounds and his armor covered with blood, he immediately felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
A strong sense of uneasiness.
Ma Jinzhong was also shocked. He racked his brains and couldn't figure out how it was possible for Zhao Yingyuan to be involved in a war in the Tongguan area. He was injured like this!
Zhao Yingyuan fled all the way from Tongguan City to Luoyang, leaving only a dozen wounded soldiers beside him. His face was stained in several places, and his body was covered with blood. His eyes were looking toward the west in the direction of Guanzhong, and there was something in his eyes.
Sad, angry and helpless:
"Miss!... No, eldest lady. Something happened in Tongguan, and I almost died in Guancheng... It was one of my soldiers who put on armor to pretend to be me and was killed by a cannon.
The rebellious officials and gentry of the former Ming Dynasty set fires everywhere, and the situation became chaotic, so I escaped."
Luo Yanqing and Ma Jinzhong looked at each other, and there was a mutiny in Tongguan... This was something they could not have predicted.
Luo Yanqing's face looked a little ugly. She had been pregnant for several months and was not far away from her delivery date. Ma Jinzhong was also worried that the bad news would affect Luo Yanqing's physical condition, so he whispered:
"Would you like to take a rest first, Madam? General Zhao and I will handle the Tongguan matter. It's nothing more than a rebellion by some officials and gentry. We can just lead the troops to suppress it."
Luo Yanqing did not respond to Ma Jinzhong's words, but directly asked Zhao Yingyuan:
"The defenders of Tongguan have thousands of our old soldiers from Cao Camp, and some servants who took the opportunity to cause trouble, how can they capture Tongguan City? Zhao Yingyuan, what happened in Guancheng? The location of Tongguan is extremely important, and now Lang Jun and the others are approaching
To resist the Qing army on the north bank of the Yellow River, we must not let our elbows and armpits change at this time."
Zhao Yingyuan looked very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes...it's Yang Shengzu and Wang Long! Yang Shengzu suddenly said that he had gone to Tongguan to take over the defense on Nanyang Gong's order. After entering the city, he suddenly launched an attack... The incident happened suddenly. I was completely unprepared for Yang Shengzu's soldiers and horses. I was caught off guard.
Almost all the generals and officers were killed, and the Guancheng garrison lost control as a result. Now... Yang Shengzu and the others may be completely under control now!"
Yang Shengzu was the younger brother of Yang Chengzu. He was also one of Luo Rucai's nephews and an important general in Cao Ying's old army. Wang Long was Yang Chengzu's deputy general.
Yang Shengzu and Wang Long took Luo Rucai's seal of defense and went to Tongguan to change defenses. Naturally, Zhao Yingyuan could not raise the slightest suspicion. They were both former members of Cao Ying, and they were old friends who had fought side by side for more than ten years. How could Zhao Yingyuan think that after he opened the door?
After Tongguan closed the city gate and welcomed Yang Shengzu and Wang Long to the official office, they would face a disaster.
Zhao Yingyuan's whole family was stationed in Tongguan City, and he almost burst into tears:
"Madam, did Duke Nanyang betray Dashun? How could this happen? How could this happen! My parents and wife are all in Tongguan, and I am afraid that the world is already separated from yin and yang! Madam, please tell me, Duke Nanyang
What happened? Is he really planning to rebel?"
Zhao Yingyuan and Luo Yanqing were both former members of Cao Ying, and only Ma Jinzhong was a surrendered general in Zuozhen. He looked at the maids with swords standing in a circle in the room, and then looked at the faces of Zhao Yingyuan and Luo Yanqing. He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help it.
He kept holding the hilt of the knife, fearing that the two old generals from Cao Ying would kill him if they disagreed, so he took his head from his neck and offered it to Luo Rucai as a reward.
Luo Yanqing's keen eyes fell on Ma Jinzhong's hand. She sighed softly, but her hand was already clenched so tightly that veins popped out.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible. There is no way my brother will rebel against Dashun."
Luo Yanqing said categorically:
"There must be a misunderstanding... My brother's motto in life is that thieves do not kill thieves. When we were still thieves, this was still the case. What's more, today Dashun has been founded as a country? My brother left Nanyang Gong of Dashun, Nanyang
If the king doesn't do it, how can he rebel?
Moreover, he has not taken control of the military for a long time. If he really wanted to rebel, how could he give up all the military power?"
Ma Jinzhong was frightened when he saw Luo Yanqing's eyes and quickly let go of his hand, but he couldn't help but say:
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, perhaps King Nanyang did not control the military just to confuse everyone."
Zhao Yingyuan also said: "If it wasn't Nanyang Gong, who could command Yang Shengzu and Wang Long? Both of them are generals in our old Cao camp, and I can be sure that the customs seal in Yang Shengzu's hand did come from the Northwest Economic and Strategic Envoy Office
, I personally led the gold and silversmiths to cast those seals for Nanyang Gong, and they are absolutely true."
Luo Yanqing gritted her silver teeth and looked coldly. She pulled out the sword of the maid behind her with one hand, stood in front of her, and asserted:
"Impossible! If you all think that my brother is treason, just kill me here first!"
When Ma Jinzhong saw this, he didn't know what to say. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Madam, madam, you are still pregnant with the flesh and blood of His Highness Prince Jin... That is the foundation of our Dashun Dynasty! You can't have that.
What's the three long and two short?"
Zhao Yingyuan wiped the blood on his body and said angrily: "Then who instigated Yang Shengzu and the others to seize the gate? What are my wife and parents guilty of!"
"this……"
Luo Yanqing couldn't figure out what was going on. She even wondered if it was because of Ji Gui and Yang Chengzu's instigation that Luo Rucai really rebelled. But Luo Yanqing felt that based on her understanding of her brother, Luo Rucai would never do it.
The one who did this was not in Shaanxi but still in Henan. With the relationship between the two of them, Luo Rucai could not possibly risk his own life and suddenly rebel in Shaanxi.
But how to explain the current situation?
Luo Yanqing was holding the sword in her hand, but she felt confused and powerless. Her head lost blood, the images in her eyes flashed, and there was a cramp in her abdomen, and she almost fainted on the ground.
But Luo Yanqing was, after all, a warrior with a strong bow and horse. She stabbed the accessories into the table and said:
"Ma Jinzhong, how many troops and horses are there in Luoyang?"
"... There are five thousand defenders in Luoyang, and I have brought three thousand Chu soldiers in Luoyang. This is the only one in total... Madam, do you want to...!"
Luo Yanqing said firmly: "The bodyguards Lang Jun arranged for me have another hundred people. Eight thousand soldiers and horses are already too much. Ma Jinzhong, you go and recruit elite soldiers now. We only need to bring four thousand people."
Zhao Yingyuan said in shock: "Madam, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Luo Yanqing swung the sword and "take back Tongguan."
"Regardless of whether my brother has rebelled or not, the location of Tongguan is so critical. We must recapture Guancheng immediately... As Zhao Yingyuan said, Yang Shengzu and the others have not taken the city for a long time. They must not have thought that we would counterattack so soon.
Go back. And I am very familiar with both Yang Shengzu's subordinates and Cao Ying's old troops who were stationed at Tongguan.
As long as we can catch him off guard, we will definitely be able to retaliate against him in his own way."
Ma Jinzhong panicked and said quickly: "This is absolutely impossible. Madam, you are still pregnant. How can you lead troops to fight? Even if you come to Luoyang to appease the people, we are already worried, let alone go to the battlefield.
!”
Luo Yanqing said with a cold face: "I am also from Cao Ying. If it is really my brother who rebelled and destroyed the husband's great cause, how can I continue to live in this world? Ma Jinzhong, aren't you very diligent in your work? Go and rectify it quickly.
Soldiers and horses, time waits for no one, we must attack immediately."
Ma Jinzhong and Zhao Yingyuan looked at each other, both sweating coldly, shocked by Luo Yanqing's boldness.
