[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Although Tu Yuankang had doubts in his heart, there was no turning back at this time, and seeing that Tu Yuanyi had few people now, he couldn't help feeling confident.

"Seventh brother, you cleverly set up a name to wash Jiangnan with blood and shake the country. It is no longer a benevolent king! As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I put the country first, and welcome my father to return to the court. Set aside/chaos/anyway! Everyone present is my Great Zhou. Loyal ministers and good generals, you must honor your ancestors! You and I are brothers, I advise you to recognize the situation, abdicate on your own, and welcome your father to the court. We will let the past go and let you enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"

In other words, it seems reasonable and restrained, it seems that he has no selfish intentions, and it is in line with his reputation as a virtuous king, so the virtuous king can save Emperor Qianyuan's life.

Tu Yuanyi held the rein and squinted at him and laughed. Although it was an open place, the laughter could be clearly heard by the thirty thousand soldiers and horses in front of Suzaku's gate.

Tu Yuanyi pointed at Tu Yuankang with a golden horsewhip in his hand, and said loudly: "Tu Yuankang, do you consider rebellion to be a test for talent? Rebellion depends on your words? Why do you talk so much nonsense! If you want to fight, fight! Today is your Waiting for insatiable greed, having no king, and committing crimes against the superiors, I will be the first to blame, it is not that I have wronged you, but you will take the blame for everything!"

Tu Yuankang hissed and shouted: "Tu Yuanyi, you will kill yourself for doing too many injustices!"

Tu Yuanyi lifted the bow on the horse's back, put an arrow on it, and drew a thirty-stone bow into a semicircle. As soon as he let go of the string, there was a sound of vibration of the bow string, and the arrow flew over like lightning.A long time ago, Tu Yuankang's personal guards saw Tu Yuanyi taking an arrow, and formed three rows of shields in front and back to block Tu Yuankang.

However, it was not Tu Yuankang who was shot by Tu Yuanyi's arrow, but the most central banner they raised, and the word "Lian" was written on it, representing Prince Lian.

The arrow broke the flagpole, and Prince Lian's flag fell to the ground in an instant.The people on Prince Lian's side suddenly felt bad.Even during World War II, the two armies could not lose their military flags in battle. What's more, the ancients were very superstitious and would think that the king's flag was ominous.

Behind Tu Yuanyi and on the walls of the palace city, the Jinyi Guards and the soldiers of the Gongsheng Army shouted: "Your Majesty is mighty! Long live my emperor!"

Tu Yuankang was so angry that his face turned blue, but he was frightened by Tu Yuanyi's arrow skills. Wang Qi was at least 120 steps away from Tu Yuanyi. He could break the flagpole with one arrow, which shows his bravery.This made Tu Yuankang even more suspicious that when he was a teenager, Tu Yuanyi's horse bow was usually just scheming and clumsy.

The other civil servants and clans had retreated to the rear of the army long after they first called the door, even Prince Gong Tu Yuanfeng also retreated to the rear.Apart from the leader Prince Lian, those who lived in the front were all the generals under his tent with their own soldiers, and the 3000 Imperial Guards led by Prince Cheng.

In fact, Prince Lian had never fought a war, so he felt ashamed at this time, but he was not completely out of his mind, so he ordered one of his father-in-law, Hexi Jiedu Sima Baocheng, to attack.

But Tu Yuanyi shouted: "Zhou Xianchuan listens to the decree, King Qin will punish the rebels!"

As soon as Tu Yuanyi said this, he heard the thunder of the four cannons upstairs in Miyagi, and the shells shot into the camp of the Hexi rebels. The lead bullets were not very lethal, but they were enough to cause chaos. And the power of this deterrence wins people's morale.

Zhou Xianchuan drew out the general's saber and shouted: "Protect King Qin, and punish Hexi's rebels!"

Zhou Xianzhou's confidants and generals also shouted one by one, it is impossible for everyone to have the skill of Tu Yuanyi, and everyone can hear it.

Prince Lian and the others turned pale in shock, but the honorable ministers of the royal family who were protected by the private army behind the army couldn't help but turn pale when they heard the slogan shouted by Zhou Xianchuan's army.

Prince Zhongxian's feet were even weaker. He thought he had transferred a helper for his grandson-in-law, but he didn't expect that the other party would fall for Tu Yuanyi.

The strength of the two sides was equal. Since the Hexi army came quickly and passed through two important passes, they knew that there would be people who would cooperate with each other and would not need to attack the city, so they did not bring cannons at all.And the army of Xiying in Kyoto did not bring fire/arms, the fire/arms of Dazhou were not strong at all, and the cannons still used lead and stone bullets, and there were only Jinyiwei and Nanying with [-] firearms. , the whole is still dominated by bow and horse.

Because the left wing of the Hexi Army was suddenly "rebelled" by Zhou Xianchuan's Xiying army, it was unable to effectively organize the attack on Tu Yuanyi.

After the general of the Qiangjian Battalion of the Hexi Army fired two rounds of arrows, he was rushed by Zhou Xianchuan's Xiying soldiers and disrupted the formation.

Tu Yuanyi stepped out of the shield guard formation, and ordered Jin Yiwei to fire three rounds of firecrackers at the Hexi army charging up.

Hearing the thumping sound in front of the palace gate, Tu Yuanyi truly saw the power of the fire/weapon, and there were no failures within 20 steps. After the 2000 Jinyiwei fought for three rounds, the opponent fell to more than 500 people, either dead or injured.

Tu Yuanyi pulled out the long sword of the Son of Heaven and shouted: "Boys, follow me!"

Said that the imperial horse rushed to the battle line first, the guards in Jinyi couldn't help but their blood boiled, and they all rode their horses to follow.After the Gongsheng Army fired a few shots at the tower to disrupt the formation of the Hexi Army and the Fengsheng Army led by Prince Cheng, Wang Hu also mobilized most of the people out of the city gate to follow Jin Yiwei.

Tu Yuanyi drove his horse first and rushed towards Ma Baocheng. Although Prince Lian was the nominal leader, Tu Yuanyi knew that the soul of the Hexi Army was Ma Baocheng.

Tu Yuanyi waved the arrow feathers aimed at him, hacked and killed the young generals who surrounded him and wanted to make "extraordinary achievements", and he didn't get close to Ma Baocheng until a cup of tea.Ma Baocheng is also a veteran general of the generation. Although he was shocked to see Tu Yuanyi's martial arts prowess, but he came here with the dignity of an emperor, how could he respond to the challenge?

A long halberd stabs at Tu Yuanyi, and Tu Yuanyi raises his sword and lays it down. Ma Baocheng only feels pain in the tiger's mouth, and his heart is even more horrified.He is so brave that he can lift a thousand catties, and it is almost difficult for anyone to take him head-on.

Tu Yuanyi's phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent, and he snorted coldly: "Rebellious officials and thieves!"

Tu Yuanyi rushed forward with his horse, and the two of them made another strike with their weapons. In the third move, Ma Baocheng stabbed the emperor in the heart.

Ma Baocheng blocked only one move, and was kicked off his horse by the emperor. At this moment, Ma Baocheng's youngest son, Ma Jiansheng, came to kill him and delayed Tu Yuanyi's sword strike.

"Damn the thief!" Tu Yuanyi yelled angrily, and at this time, Jin Yiwei followed up and killed Ma Jiansheng.

However, Tu Yuanyi rushed towards Ma Baocheng who was being protected by his subordinates and killed the guard, and finally chopped off his head with his sword.

Fresh blood rushed up from the bowl-sized neck, and the stench filled the air. Tu Yuanyi grabbed Ma Baocheng's head and shouted: "The leader of the Hexi army rebelled against Ma Baocheng! Surrender and don't kill him!"

Shenwu General Feng Tang was the commander of Dongying, and he received a secret order from Tu Yuanyi early in the morning to send troops to serve the king, but he still arrived half a quarter of an hour late.

Of course, he also has selfish intentions. If the matter is irreversible, and Prince Lian succeeds in rebelling against him, and everyone expects him to return, he can only become a minister.And if the fighting between the two sides continues, he will naturally help the saint to suppress the rebellion. After all, he feels that although Prince Lian has received a lot of support, his name is not justified.

But he didn't expect to hear Tu Yuanyi say: "Hexi's chief Nima Baocheng has been put to death."

Feng Tang couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and said to himself: It's late.

"The Eastern Camp of the imperial guards in the capital ordered Feng Tang to lead the army to serve the king! The escort came late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After Feng Tang came, another Northern Camp Commander arrived. Of course, the Northern Camp Commander Li Duoyuan was not Tu Yuanyi's person, but the deputy envoy was Tu Yuanyi's confidant. They came half a step late, of course they also hesitated place.Now only the commander of the southern battalion was absent, and the commander of the southern battalion could barely be called Tu Yuanyi's man, who took him on a southern tour.After Wang Ziteng was promoted to patrol the border, the imperial guards in the Beijing camp were no longer under his control, and all the people who were originally secretly raised their heads.

Everyone thought that Tu Yuanyi could only rely on the Commander of the Southern Camp and the Deputy Commander of the Northern Camp. Unexpectedly, he did not mobilize them at all for this counter-insurgency.Relying on Jinyiwei and Gongsheng Army, they sent Zhou Xianchuan to kill the first battle, and Feng Tang and others who arrived later had the intention of intimidating Zhou Xianchuan in a balanced way.Gambling and playing a big game of chess, he got rid of his confidant's troubles and really took control of the military power of the Beijing camp.

As soon as Feng Tang arrived, he had no more credit to grab at Zhuquemen, so he was ordered to go to Xigongmen to fight Ma Jianxiao, the eldest son of Hexi Jiedushi.There are still 8000 troops, and now I don't know if they have broken through the palace gate.

Although the West Palace Gate was a small gate, it had a moat. It took some time for Ma Jianxiao to fill up the moat, and there were also two cannons on the wall of the West Palace Gate, which shocked the Hexi Army for a while.When Feng Tang's soldiers arrived, the gate of the palace would not be broken. Prince Lian and others did not expect that Zhou Xianchuan and Feng Tang, who were clearly not Tu Yuanyi, would fall to Tu Yuanyi in the end.Especially Zhou Xianchuan, on the one hand, he wanted to help the Hexi army break through the palace gates, and on the other hand, he was also on guard against Feng Tang's "overthinking" of being loyal to Tu Yuanyi, an unkind king.

As long as Zhou Xianchuan delays Feng Tang, Prince Lian enters the palace and carries out the emperor, then the big event is settled.

There are many people supported by Prince Lian, and there are also troops at his disposal, but it is a pity that luck is missing.
