Chapter 3 Mutual Coercion
When Chen Shou came to the outskirts of the city, he saw corpses all over the ground, including Wei Ning and his old horse.
In Yao Baobao's opinion, if you master the palace, you will have completely mastered the situation. So you don't even keep someone?
Chen Shou looked around vigilantly, not very convinced that Yao Baobao would let him go like this.
"Give me instructions, be careful of the dikes, and be ready to fight at any time!"
After all, Gao Huan was a descendant of General Pingdong's Mansion. He had some rules when commanding. In addition, the Jinyu Guard practiced every day, and he was hasty to set up the formation without any panic.
Miao De looked at Wei Ning's death situation and didn't know what he was thinking. He closed his eyes and muttered silently.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Shou helped Miao De up and said in a deep voice: "Godfather, let's go, it may not be safe here, go to the Taoist temple first."
Suddenly, a team of people rushed out of the woods, just the left scepter camp that was waiting for it.
"Take Chen Shou! The governor rewards a thousand taels of gold and is promoted to the seventh tier of the North Department!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. This reward is so outrageous. The people from the Zuoshao Camp in Beishi were killed out of the woods like crazy.
The people from the Imperial Horse Prison and the Jinyu Guard were ready for a long time and entered a state of combat instantly. They were not the Right Shou Battalion and their combat effectiveness was not bad.
After the two sides were stalemate, Dai Yi looked a little nervous. He did not expect that the Right Shou Camp he was afraid of was easily taken down, and Chen Shou's Jin Yuwei was so capable of fighting.
However, the Jinyu Guards were a minority after all, and they were soon at a disadvantage. Dai Yi looked at the battlefield coldly. As long as they were eliminated and the capital was controlled, they could make up for the losses.
“Everything!”
The troops of the left siege camp who were rushing down also rushed down. Chen Shou was protected by the Jin Feathers in the middle of the battle formation.
This was the first time he was in such a battlefield, and it was absolutely centered. To his own surprise, Chen Shou did not feel panic or discomfort at all, but instead calmed down and looked at the battle situation around him.
Suddenly, a tremor seemed to be heard from the ground...
A bunch of people came out from behind the Zuoshao Camp. They were wearing black or apricot yellow Taoist robes, and the shouts of killing soared into the sky.
This is a strange scene. Not only did the Taoists charge in battle, but they were more decent than anyone present.
Anyone can tell at a glance that this is a group of natural warriors. The moment they held the sword, they developed a fearsome momentum, and clearly told the enemy opposite: I must not be humiliated easily.
Their joining soon changed the situation, and the outcome was almost a moment ago.
"Xiliang's big horse is dominant in the world!" Chen Shou unconsciously said this sentence that everyone in the world knows.
The Western Liang army in the nearby Taoist temple finally arrived. Although there were only a few hundred people, they were unstoppable.
The Western Liang army soldiers who Chen Shou asked for were scattered among the four Taoist temples. The one closest to this place received news from Li Bohao. They arrived at the most critical moment and saved Chen Shou's life.
Dai Yi hurriedly fled back to the city, and one-third of his left scepter camp was killed in a short time.
"Xiao Chen Changshi, are you chasing me?"
Chen Shou looked at the towering city wall and shook his head, "Go back to Taoist temple first!"
The people who were still worried about this chaos in Beijing were more comfortable. They ran out of the door in surprise when they heard the shouts of killing, and were driven home by Fanzi who suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys and the men in the yamen who drove a cat and a dog. After waiting for most of the hour, there was no more movement, they took off their clothes and went to bed with confidence.
But there was no fight tonight, and there was no more drumming to urge people to get up early and go to court. There were not many officials who could sleep.
Prime Minister Wei Yun was wearing a crown and tied his belt, his official robe was neatly, and he sat in the reception hall with a stern look. The two golden red candles behind him had burned out. The dying wick was like an old man in his twilight age, and it was light and dark, and could be destroyed in a copper cup full of tears at any time.
After a long time, the closed door sounded a few times. Wei Yun opened his eyes suddenly and shouted, "Who?"
"Yeah, it's me."
Jiang Chucai pushed the door and clasped his fists and said, "Ye Xiang, have you not fall asleep yet?"
Wei Yunse sighed, stood up, and said, "Yao Baobao did not listen to us to kill Chen Shou, but removed the three eunuchs and occupied the palace. This eunuch wolf is ambition, but he is afraid that he will not be willing to stay under you and me."
"The imperial guards are in our hands, so don't worry about him turning the world!" Jiang Chucai said confidently.
"The Imperial Guard... is useless." Wei Yunse knew very well that the people of the Imperial Guards had known to stare at the bloody sucking of the ten thousand soldiers over the years.
The 100,000 soldiers were almost their free slaves. In addition to farming thousands of hectares of fertile land from the imperial guards, they were also doing business for them.
Most of the military pay of the imperial guards was also deducted. The entire Bianliang was prosperous and rich, and the poorest one was probably the group of imperial guards.
"I have a wrong move. Although I defeated Chen Shou, I couldn't defend against Yao Baobao."
Jiang Chucai stepped forward and whispered: "En Xiang, don't worry. Even if he controlled His Majesty the Emperor, the entire officialdom was run by En Xiang, and he was not leaked. What can Yao Baobao do?"
Wei Yunse raised his chest and returned to his former majesty. He coughed, "Tomorrow morning, we will enter the palace together, please ask Your Majesty to court!"
---
In the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city, soldiers wearing Taoist robes patrolled back and forth.
There were open and secret whistles everywhere. The people of Xiliang had not been on the battlefield for a hundred years, and fought with foreigners in the northwest generation after generation, which had long developed the instinct for war.
In the innermost hall of the Taoist temple, the lights are dim and the shadows are shaking.
Opposite Chen Shou was Li Bohao from the General's Mansion. When he heard the great changes in the capital, he keenly realized that things were not simple and came here early to meet Chen Shou.
"This time Yao Baobao was so cruel, all the people who were killed." Li Bohao had no friendship with the three eunuchs, but he was a little excited on his face. "The eunuch who detained the eldest son was the eunuch. Now it is a good opportunity for heaven. Let's kill him and sacrifice him to pay tribute to the young master. It is a small revenge."
Chen Shou shook his head, it was not that simple... When these Xiliang people heard about the fight, they were not afraid at all, but they never thought carefully that if they led their troops in, they would not be able to pass or not, and they would not be able to enter the city gate.
The city gate is in the hands of civil servants. Depending on the situation, Yao Baobao did not negotiate with the civil servants, otherwise he would not have let him go and concentrate on guarding the palace.
In this way, the city gate may be the only trump card for civil servants, and the three parties restrain each other and form a balance.
Yao Bao kept the palace. If Wei Yunse ordered to open the city gate and go in, he could kill them all.
Yao Bao kept the palace and could control the emperor to order the ministers, but he was most afraid that civil officials would open the door and put the group of Western Liang soldiers in.
Yao Baobao had an imperial palace, Wei Yunse had a city gate, and Chen Shou had a Xiliang army.
Li Bohao asked, "What do you think you should do?"
"Talk, talk to them." Chen Shou almost gritted his teeth and said this.
Miao De was right, he had no foundation. If he rashly entered the palace, he would be a sinner for the eternal and a living target for the heroes of the world. Countless ambitious people would take the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains, and then put the blame on himself, and everyone in the world would be punished.
At present, this game seems to have the advantage, but it is actually extremely dangerous.
