The next moment, Huo Wujiu put away his bow, drew out the whip on his waist and took a volley.
With a crisp whip sound, the sound of horseshoes suddenly remembered in the darkness around.
With the sound of horses hoofs from far to near, the soldiers riding horses from the dark surrounded the hundreds of elites who were scattered in a hurry. Anyone who dared to use weapons to resist was immediately beheaded. After a rush of sword fighting, those people were captured and cleaned by soldiers rushing from the dark.
Huo Wujiu rode his horse and walked in the direction of Da Jiang.
The night is dim, and without the moon, it looks a bit darker.
A few months ago, he also led the army across the river in such a dark night. As a result, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who should have crossed the river with him remained unchanged, leaving only the few soldiers he led and were The garrison of Nanjing was besieged.
This was his first defeat in his lifetime.
He had suspected that the strategy he had formulated was too radical, or that it was a fault in his deployment. He was a little arrogant towards self-belief, and at this time he was also trying to take these mistakes to himself instead of thinking about...
It was him Huo Jiajun who stabbed him in the back.
He walked forward, stopped in front of Li Sheng's body, lowered his head, and looked at him in the dim night.
His death was extremely ugly, his eyes staring round, and the blood had already dyed the ground several feet square around him red.
Huo Wujiu looked like an animal that had been shot to death, without making any waves.
"General..." Wei Kai said with some worry behind him.
But seeing Huo Wujiu withdraw his gaze, there was still no expression on his face.
"Go get some soldiers," he said. "Look at how many people Li Sheng brought as bait."
Wei Kai knew he was uncomfortable, and seeing him look like nothing else, he felt a little bit distressed.
He tightened his lips and whispered: "Yes."
He turned his horse's head, and just after two steps, he heard Huo Wujiu say: "Anyone who dares to resist, kill."
Wei Kai twitched his nose and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
As soon as he walked away, Ji Hongcheng's soldiers and horses had already escorted people up. Too many died, and only a few survived at this time.
Huo Wujiudan sat on the horse, lowered his eyes, looked at the several people who were kneeling on the ground, and asked in a calm voice: "Who instigated Li Sheng?"
One of them raised his head strenuously.
The tall horse sits on a tall man, straddling an arrow, carrying a bow, holding a whip in his hand, and swinging it leisurely in his hand, bringing a slight wind.
The whip clearly didn't fall on him, but it made him creepy.
This is the first time this person has seen Huo Wujiu head-on.
Since joining the army, he has been under General Huo Yuyan, who is the Crown Prince. Compared with Huo Wujiu's line of unfavorable power, his Royal Highness is gentle and cautious, and he has always thought about his use of troops and worked at every step.
Since the day when Huo Wujiu took over all the soldiers and horses under his father's command, they have lived in the shadow of Huo Wujiu.
Everyone knows that Huo Wujiu is the God of War with a hundred battles. Who can see His Royal Highness worrying about them day by day and working all night long?
However, at that time it was nothing more. In marching and fighting, life and victory were important, not these. But now, the big beam has already established a country, and it is the current His Majesty who has enthroned. Let His Royal Highness live in the shadow of a military commander, and there will be endless troubles.
Tonight, these people they know the truth are the people whom His Royal Highness relies on the most and trusts most.
They can't do anything to betray themselves.
The man looked at Huo Wujiu, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
But after hearing Huo Wujiu slowly continue to speak: "Huo Yuyan asked him to do it?"
On the side, a soldier immediately said loudly: "No! His Royal Highness doesn't know anything. It is General Li who has been jealous of you a long time ago and wants to get rid of you!"
Huo Wujiu sneered.
"Envy me, get rid of me?" He seemed to have heard some joke. "Who is he, deserves him?"
While speaking, he held the reins in one hand, and the horse walked forward obediently two steps.
"Without Huo Yuyan's will, he dared to preach the imperial decree, dare to lead soldiers across the river to kill me? You don't need to be sloppy with me here. I knew that today, I just want to hear your confession before you die. ."
The horses paced slowly in front of everyone.
One of them gradually reddened his eyes when he listened to his so frivolous words.
He couldn't hold his breath, and said loudly: "General Huo knows why he is still living in the world! If you really do for the good of the Liang's Jiangshan society, and really regard His Royal Highness as a real brother, you should make self-determination earlier and let him feel at ease. , Why let him order it himself! You take credit for your arrogance, you really can’t do without you! On the contrary, with you, the emperor and the prince would not sleep peacefully!"
The slowly pacing horse stopped.
Huo Wujiu lowered his eyes and looked straight at him.
I'm afraid this person doesn't know, what Huo Wujii said so well just now was just a lie to them.
...Unexpectedly, not only lied out the truth, but also lied out...such words that made Huo Wujiu novel.
Ji Hongcheng on the side couldn't listen anymore.
Asuka has a good bow and hides his bow, and every military commander knows something in his heart. But... if there is no Huo Wugui, who has the ability to make such a rich and flourishing state of the treasury look like what it is now? It should be known that ten years ago, Jing Chao was just a faint emperor, but the foundation left by the first emperor was still too early to be defeated.
However, they were so jealous of Huo Wujiu, and were anxious to kill him...that was his biological uncle, his cousin who could entrust each other to their backs.
"General Huo..." Ji Hongcheng saw Huo Wujiu silent for a long time, and stepped forward nervously.
But seeing Huo Wujiu raised the hand holding the whip, motioned him to silence.
Ji Hongcheng closed his mouth.
Seeing the night, Huo Wujiu slowly smiled.
Nothing unusual, but with a bit of bitterness and sarcasm that was indescribable.
"Good point," he said.
After speaking, he looked cold, pulled the rein with one hand, kicked one step, and rode his horse away in the direction of Dajiang.
"All captives, kill."
—
This night, the river was turbulent.
Huo Wujiao sorted out the 10,000 soldiers and horses on the riverside, but he unscrupulously used a whip to make Wei Kai immediately carry Li Sheng’s head, lead people across the river, and lead his own verbal order to guard all the soldiers in Jiangbei. Sent to Jiangnan overnight.
The military ships passing by did not stop all night.
On the surface of the river, an unremarkable gray pigeon flew across the river and flew into Lin'an city at the fourth clock.
When the sky was white, two horses pulling an inconspicuous carriage, swiftly stepped through the fading night, stepped on the empty brick streets stained with morning dew, and stopped outside the Tianshu Gate. An urgent letter was passed through the locked palace gate.
After a while, Tianshumen opened a corner door, and the people in the carriage hurriedly got out of the carriage and quickly walked in. With a heavy sound, the corner gate closed, and the entire magnificent imperial city became an iron prison that no bird could fly into.
The only thing left was the carriage, which stopped quietly outside the Tianshu gate.
—
The gate of the palace is locked every day when the hour arrives. Officials want to enter the palace at night, and only if they have one hundred thousand eager melodies in their hands and pass them through the Tianshu gate closest to the emperor's residence, can they have the opportunity to be holy in the night.
This is the first time after the main player became the throne, he was awakened from the night by anxious music. He was put on a robe and was invited to the dragon chair, leaning there, still dozing off.
He was a little late with the two new concubines who entered the palace last night, and he just fell asleep right now.
After a while, he saw Pang Shao walking quickly.
He thumped and knelt down in front of his love dragon chair.
"The minister once concealed a very important matter from the emperor, but now the Dongchuang incident is the minister's fault!" he said.
After the Lord was puzzled, he held back the yawn that came to his lips, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Huo Wujiu escaped." Pang Shao gritted his teeth and said. "The minister has been in contact with the Northern Liang prince Huo Yuyan, and his subordinates sent an urgent letter today, saying that Huo Wujiu has led the Northern Liang soldiers to cross the river, which may be worth a hundred thousand."
The Lord's brows frowned tightly.
He could understand every sentence of Pang Shao, but the combination made him confused.
What's this all about? How can so many things happen suddenly overnight?
I heard Pang Shao take out several letters he had prepared for Huo Yuyan and put them on the postmaster’s case, and quickly explained to him.
"Before Huo Wujiu crossed the river, Huo Yuyan found the minister. He wanted Huo Wujiu's life, but he didn't dare to do it himself, so he said that he would trick Huo Wujiu, and wanted to use his hands to kill him. Chen Benben He wanted to kill Huo Wujiu, but temporarily changed his mind and captured Huo Wujiu alive, just to contain Huo Yuyan. After all, the minister could always say that Huo Wujiu sent back intact and threatened his crown prince again. Huo Wujiu is in my scene, so Huo Yuyan didn't dare to act rashly."
Seeing that the queen was still not awake, he asked, "This is what you told me, is it useful to keep Huo Wugui's life?"
Pang Shao looked at his dull and wimpy look, only to feel bored.
If it wasn't an emergency, he needed to use his imperial decree to move the soldiers and horses of the surrounding counties, so he wouldn't be here to report this to the waste. The words in his mouth were six points true and four points false. He would never tell his posterity that in the past few months, relying on Huo Wujiu, he had continuously deceived Huo Yuyan of tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Pang Shao gritted his teeth: "Yes. But now Huo Wujiu escapes, Lin'an will be endangered from time to time. The minister asks the emperor's imperial decree to immediately go to the surrounding counties and counties to seconde troops and horses to protect the emperor's safety."
Then the Lord was half awakened by a fright.
"Go, then go," he said. "But how did Huo Wujiu run?"
Pang Shao gritted his teeth.
"Since King Jing let go." He said. "It will take three to five days to rush to the river from Lin'an. After all these days, Prince Jing's mansion is calm and calm, and it must be a cover for Huo Wujiu."
Speaking of this, Pang Shao clasped his fists and knelt down and said: "The emperor, you must arrest King Jing and guard him. If he can cover for Huo Wujiu, there must be a lot of news about Huo Wujiu in his hands, and maybe even arrested. He still has the possibility to contain Huo Wugui."
The later master can't take care of these.
"This sick child is bold enough to collude with the enemy!" He gritted his teeth. "It's really the wicked son of a humble life, it's bad in his bones!"
As he said, he raised his hand and said: "Come here! Go to the Jing Palace quickly and catch that **** for me!"
But when Pang Shao stopped, "The emperor, no!"
The queen frowned: "What?"
Pang Shao said: "King Jing is unfathomable, and this move may scare the snake. The minister has a plan, please listen to the emperor."
The master hurriedly said: "Say quickly."
I heard Pang Shao say: "Today there is a great dynasty meeting. The emperor might as well wait for him to enter the palace before leaving him. At that time, other people will be in the palace.
When the latter heard it, he only felt reasonable.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just do what you said."
Pang Shao should retreat.
The doze of the queen was also shocked. He watched Pang Shao salute and retreat, outside the window, the faint morning light faintly revealed, blending with the light of the lamps and candles in the temple.
The master suddenly spoke.
"Uncle," he called.
Pang Shao stopped.
Then I heard the Lord ask: "In any case, my uncle will stay in Beijing to protect me, right?"
I saw Pang Shao bowing his head and saluting, under his wide sleeves and high crown, he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"The minister will be like this, and will never abandon the emperor."
The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: Oh, my wife, my brother wants to kill me
Jiang Suizhou: By coincidence, my brother wants to kill me too; D
