Chapter 458
(Thank you Tiantianxihehaha, Lin Zige, njstar, ycx, and I have supported the monthly tickets for my book Huang, thank you everyone!)
Yu Cong rode on the horse with a bright yellow silk cloth imperial edict. Dozens of Jinwu Guards were driving the way in front. Two teams of Shence soldiers guarded left and right. Among the carriages behind, there were the best imperial doctors from Jinchuangke summoned by the Imperial Hospital and the best saint hand at detoxification.
The Tonghua Gate, the north gate of the three gates of the east wall of the outer city of Chang'an, originally had 100 defenders, but at this time it had increased to 1,000 imperial guards. Just now, the emperor had issued an emergency edict, ordering the three gates of the east and west cities of Chang'an, the nine gates of the three gates of the east and south cities of Chang'an, to step up their guards, strengthen defense, and immediately close the city gates, and implement martial law throughout the city.
After carefully checking Yu Cong's special pass, the imperial guard general finally ordered the city gate to be opened.
Looking at the city gate guards with a nervous expression, Yu Cong also frowned. Now he was praying that Li Jing must not have anything to do. This is not only Li Jing is Yu Guan's disciple, but also the powerful foreign aid of the Yu family. It is even more important that if Li Jing really wants to do something, he is really worried that something will happen to the 20,000 Zhenguo Army. Outside the inner city of Chang'an City, there are tens of thousands of imperial guards, and there are also a total of 150,000 Shenxiang Army near the capital. But in the capital for a long time, he would not know what the Shenxiang Army is like. A few years ago, the Shenxiang Army often participated in the battle to counter rebellion, and its combat effectiveness was still good, but in recent years, it has been getting worse every year. The Shenxiang Army is full of messy people. If they really want to fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Zhenguo Army, which had won consecutive victories in Hedong.
As soon as the team left Tonghua Gate, passed Changlepo and headed twenty miles eastward, they arrived at Bashang. The army that had triumphantly entered the capital was stationed in Bashang at this time.
Sitting on the horse and looking at the camp in the distance, Yu Cong couldn't help but frown even more.
Bashang, this is the most important strategic location in the east of Chang'an City.
Thirty miles east of Chang'an City, the Ba River flows by. Since it controls the only way to enter the east of Chang'an City, Bashang has always been an important transportation route to protect the capital. In history, this was a place that military strategists must fight for. Historically, Liu Bang took the lead in Guanzhong and stationed his troops in Bashang. Later, the Hongmen Banquet took place near Bashang.
Bashang is also part of the Bailu Plain. The terrain of the Bailu Plain is relatively high, with a high height and flat terrain. The view is wide, and the Ba River is also built to protect each other. It is convenient for garrison troops in military terms, and has a favorable terrain of "a place where the bow and crossbow is known to be unable to stop the troops." Bashang follows the favorable terrain like Bailu Plain, which plays a very important role in Chang'an's defense.
But now, this military base is the garrison of the 20,000 troops of the State Army, which is as hot as a frying pan.
As soon as they entered the White Deer Plain, a team of speeding cavalry immediately rushed over and surrounded them.
Yu Cong looked at the flag and saw that it was the cavalry of Zhenguo Army. He immediately picked up the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly to the horse knight: "The soldiers of Zhenguo Army are Yu Cong, a general in the Political Affairs Hall. According to the sage of the emperor, he specially invited the best imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to heal Li Zhenguo. In addition, he also submitted the imperial edict and went to the camp to preach the emperor's will."
The knight immediately looked at them carefully, then lifted the curtain and checked the car again, and finally agreed to continue moving forward, but the Jinwu Guard and the Shence Army soldiers were forbidden to advance. The imperial guard officer was very angry, but Yu Cong quickly said a few good words to him and asked him to stay here to wait. Then he went to the camp with only a few imperial doctors.
When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Yu Cong saw cavalry running past in front of the camp from time to time. In the camp, there were teams of soldiers wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and spears, and their faces changed a little.
"Stop the person coming!" The guards at the camp shouted loudly.
The previous cavalry officer stepped forward and said a few words, but a young general walked by with a set of mountain armor and carrying a five-foot giant sword on his back. He looked at them coldly when he heard this.
"Is it the imperial physician who came to save his life or the imperial physician who came to kill people?" The young general snorted coldly, "Please go back. Our Zhenguo Army has the best military physician, and you don't need your imperial physician."
Yu Cong was stunned for a moment. The prime minister was rejected so much, and his face couldn't help but look very beautiful. But he knew that this was not the time to show his authority, not to mention that he had little to say with a group of soldiers. He said directly: "Where is Yu Guan and Yu Shuai? I am his brother Yu Cong, please lead me to meet you."
Fu Cun heard that the purple robe official was actually the teacher's brother, so he couldn't help but be stunned. He quickly put away the coldness on his face and changed into a respectful look, "It turns out that it is Yu Prime Minister, I'll lead the way for you."
When he arrived at Yuqian camp, Yu Cong was secretly shocked. He found that the Zhenguo Army had almost controlled the entire camp, and the other soldiers and horses in the town were actually in a situation of being surrounded.
When Yu Cong and Yu Guan met, they couldn't help but sigh. Yu Guan invited Zheng Cong-sei and other generals of the ranks to listen to Yu Cong's discussion on the results of the emperor and the political affairs hall.
After hearing this, Zheng Congxi and others didn't say anything, but sat there without saying a word and remained silent.
Yu Cong said anxiously: "You are all pillars of the country. You must not have a rebellion at this time. Regardless of whether the matter is right or wrong, the first thing is to control the situation. You have been fighting side by side with the Zhenguo Army for so long and are familiar with the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army. At this time, you must help the court control the situation."
Cui Anqian said dissatisfiedly: "Why are there any more to control the situation when things have come to this point? Tian Zhe was crazy and repeatedly plotted to murder Li Shuai. In the previous siege, we obeyed the court's will and helped Li Shuai to calm down the situation. But now it seems that Tian Zhe regarded our behavior as weak. To be honest, now we have no face to face the brothers of Zhenguo Army. On the battlefield in Hedong, Zhenguo Army provided help several times to rescue our army. But now, their general was murdered again and again. It would be unreasonable if we didn't help them to uphold justice. The court still wanted us to control the situation again. This is really a laugh."
Zheng Cong-sei also said on the side: "We just want to control it now, but we can't control it. As soon as the assassination occurred, the Zhenguo Army immediately blocked the camp. We had 14,000 people, and were basically surrounded by the Zhenguo Army. If any action was taken, they might anger the Zhenguo Army first and cause bad things."
"Is there no other way?" Yu Cong said anxiously.
Yu Yan looked at his brother and sighed, "The current situation should not add fuel to the fire. If a single-star Mars is not properly handled, it can cause a fire. I think it's better to be calm first. The key thing is to wait until Li Jing wakes up first."
"What if Li Jing can't think of it?" Yu Cong asked.
No one answered his question, but the result was obvious. If Li Jing really couldn't wake up, the situation would be difficult to control at that time.
In the afternoon, Tian Lingzi came.
He was very reluctant to come, and even said that he was very afraid of the Zhenguo Army.
But he had to come, and the emperor sent people to urge him three times in a row.
Tian Lingzi is in a mess now. Although he usually takes the lead and controls the government, it is said that he is still the most important thing about relying on the emperor inside and the prime minister outside to control the court. Without the support of the emperor, his power will be like a castle in the air. He has not been in charge of the government for too long, and he is far from reaching the ability of the priests in the previous dynasties to depose and establish the emperor, or even kill the emperor directly. Now the emperor is his foundation, and he has to listen to the emperor's orders.
Tian Lingzi did not come empty-handed. The emperor asked him to spend two million guan to appease the army of the state. Each soldier had a hundred guan. This money was a lot, so much that Tian Lingzi felt extremely painful. But he dared not not give it, because his life was naturally more valuable than money.
At present, there is an emperor who is dissatisfied with him, and Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and others are eyeing him. In addition, the 20,000 troops in the state army outside are outside, Tian Lingzi feels full of crisis and dare not have any other ideas at this time.
After a long time of work, two million yuan was finally collected. At the beginning, Tian Lingzi directly took the flying money from the Chaofengyuan of each cabinet and the states and the vassal states to Bashang. However, the east army of the town refused to collect the flying money and insisted on real gold and silver copper coins. In the end, Tian Lingzi had to endure it, and carriages of money were loaded from each cabinet and warehouse, and the convoys of transporting money were lined up from Chang'an City to Bashang.
"I wonder if our family can visit the Duke of Qi in person?" Tian Lingzi accompanied Zhang Hongdao, the military officer of the Zhenguo Army who was receiving money.
"Stay the money and get out." Li Cunxiao behind Zhang Hong shouted coldly, shocking Tian Lingzi felt a little nervous. He was about to have an attack, but when he saw that the soldiers of Zhenguo Army were glaring at each other, holding swords and guns in their hands, they almost rushed up to cut him into pieces. In the end, he ended up with it, but he cursed Li Jing and Zhenguo Army more than ten times in his heart.
After Tian Lingzi left, Li Cunxiao turned around and returned to the central army camp.
Outside Li Jing's camp, three soldiers from the guards were arranged in three layers inside and three layers outside, so even an ant could not crawl in.
Li Jing's camp was captured by Shatu Li Guochang. The tent was woven with gold silk, and the whole tent was extremely gorgeous. It is said that this tent was the tent of the Uighur Khan. Later, the Uighurs' civil strife, and the Uighur Prime Minister invited the Shatu people to send troops to help. This tent was one of the trophys of the Shatu people. Originally, Li Jing was going to offer this tent to the emperor, but now it has been used by him.
As soon as I opened the curtain, a large shelf was erected at the door, with a row of gorgeous and precious armor on it, all of which were Li Jing's collections. On the other side was a row of weapon racks, with swords, guns, swords and spears on it, all of which were fine.
Entering the tent, except for Li Cunxiao, the other five disciples and Li Jing's two sworn brothers Wang Chong and Lin Wu were all sitting inside. Liu Xun made a gesture to Li Cunxiao and signaled him to whisper and not disturb Li Jing.
Li Jing had already heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and supported himself up. In the warm tent burning several charcoal basins, Li Jing was naked with his upper body, most of his body wrapped in white linen. After several layers, a hint of redness was still seeping out of it. His face was a little pale, his lips were chapped, and his hair was dispersed.
"Have Tian Lingzi been here?" Li Jing asked, his voice exuding hoarseness and fatigue.
