Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The King of Shu
The closer you get to Anling, the more people fleeing on the road, and you can't see it at first sight. After a night of escape, most of the people's expressions became very tucked, and their bodies were subconsciously walking forward like machinery.
In order to enter the city as soon as possible, Xu Yingyuan had to ask Liang Shuanghu to whip and drive away the people. In this way, he finally increased his speed slightly. When he was still three or four miles away from Anning County, a team of soldiers came in front, with about dozens of people. They were escorting two prison vans, with five or six men locked in the vans. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be generals and officers in the army.
The team of soldiers also found Xu Yingyuan and his party coming from the front. They rushed forward to ask for help from the first school. Xu Yingyuan saw that they seemed to be the soldiers of King Jin, and they were under the command of Duke Qian. They came to accompany and protect the emperor.
The Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, had more than a thousand Jinyi's personal troops under his command, and most of the guards in the palace were subordinates of Duke of Qian, so the school was not suspicious of Xu Yingyuan and his subordinates. As long as Xu Yingyuan and his friends moved away, he would take the prisoners to the King of Jin's army. During this process, the Duke of Shangbaojian opened his mouth, but looking at the Guangdong soldiers who were looking at him around, he could not shout out any help.
Guo Shao asked who was in the prison car, but the school did not hide it. He said that it was Chen Jian, the boss of Guangping and several generals under him. Guo Shao was shocked. He didn't expect that the boss of Guangping was actually imprisoned in the prison car. He asked the boss of Guangping and the King of Jin to take him, but the school couldn't tell him, so he asked them to give in.
Xu Yingyuan had no intention of meddling in other people's business and did not want to have any trouble, so he asked Liang Shuanghu to take people to the side of the road and let these Jin King soldiers pass by. He didn't want the prison car to pass by them, but someone in the car suddenly shouted to Liang Shuanghu: "The Shuanghu brothers are in front!"
"It's me Liang Shuanghu!"
Liang Shuanghu heard the sound a little familiar and subconsciously responded.
The man in the prison car saw that it was Liang Shuanghu, so he hurriedly grabbed the cage and shouted loudly: "I am Ding Yong from the Shu Palace. Brother Shuanghu, save me quickly, the King of Jin wants to kill me!"
This time Liang Shuanghu could hear it clearly and see clearly. Isn’t the one who locked in the prison car his friend, Ding Yong, the guard of the Shu Prince’s Mansion?
Liang Shuanghu came to Kunming to report victory with Guo Shao. Later, because Sun Kewang's army invaded, in order to strengthen the strength of the Kunming defenders, Qian Guo Duke Mu Tianbo asked Yongli for an order to transfer Liang Shuanghu and others to the city defense. The remaining personnel from each royal palace were also ordered to go to the city to help defend. During this process, Liang Shuanghu met Ding Yong, the guard of the King of Shu.
Ding Yong was born in the Western Army. He was generous and loved to make friends with all the world. He knew that Liang Shuanghu was a hero who killed Tartars in Guangdong, so he was very willing to make friends with him. He was a guard of the Shu Palace, so he naturally had the means to get wine and meat that Liang Shuanghu could not get. As a result, after one or two meals, Liang Shuanghu and Ding Yong became friends with Ding Yong, and he could be said to have anything to say. Later, Sun Kewang was defeated, and Ding Yong followed the Shu King to Guizhou to recruit Sun Kewang's old subordinates, and the two did not meet again. Unexpectedly, they met today, but Ding Yong became a prisoner in a cage.
Liang Shuanghu was born in the Green Camp in Jiangxi. He didn't know a single word, but he valued friendship. So he suddenly saw his friend being locked in a cage. Naturally, he wanted to save people without thinking. Seeing that Liang Shuanghu was about to steal people, the school naturally refused to let them go. The soldiers on both sides drew their swords and wanted to fight on this official road. They scared the fleeing people so much that they screamed and ran away.
Suddenly he was about to take action. Guo Shao frowned and complained that Liang Shuanghu was too impulsive. This place was only three or four miles away from Anning County. There were thousands of soldiers under the King of Jin in the city. If they fought and caused trouble, how could they go into the city to grab the princess?
Xu Yingyuan did not blame Liang Shuanghu for not knowing what happened. He whispered to ask Liang Shuanghu about the identity of the person in the cage. After hesitating for a while, he ordered the team of King Jin soldiers to be taken down without hesitation. The King Jin soldiers who escorted Ding Yong and the others were only a few dozen, so they were naturally not opponents of the Taiping Army. After slashing and slashing, King Jin soldiers left ten bodies. Seeing that the small school could not defeat him, the way back to the city was blocked again, so he had to take the remaining subordinates to flee eastward. Xu Yingyuan did not send troops to chase them, but asked Liang Shuanghu to release the people from the prison cart as soon as possible.
After Ding Quan was released from the cage, he immediately ran to the front car and rescued Guangping Bo Chen Jian and others from the cage.
"Thank you for your help, Chen will repay this kindness in the future!"
Although Chen Jian was a lord, he was actually a young man under 30 years old. Before being named Guangping Bo by the Yongli court, he was always a general under the command of King Liu Wenxiu of Shu. On that day, King of Jin defeated Sun Kewang in Qujing and was named Guangping Bo for his merits. Before King of Shu died of illness, he left all three thousand elite soldiers from the King of Shu's palace to Chen Jian, hoping that Chen Jian could save the old subordinates of the King of Shu. Unexpectedly, King of Jin still failed to let Chen Jian go.
Although the other party was a prisoner, he was a uncle after all. Xu Yingyuan did not dare to be arrogant. He turned over immediately and bowed to Chen Jian and said, "It's a big deal, so I must not keep it in my heart." He paused for a moment and said, "I wonder why my uncle offended His Highness King Jin and was locked up?"
Chen Jian smiled bitterly: "What can Chen offend His Highness? It's nothing more than Your Highness's suspicion of me."
"Why did the King of Jin doubt Master?"
King Li Dingguo of Jin valued Jin soldiers but ignored Qin soldiers. Xu Yingyuan didn't know about this after staying in Kunming for so many days. However, even though he knew, he still had to ask questions clearly. Of course, there was nothing else. Chen Jian admitted that King Jin suspected that he would lead his troops to follow King Feng Shuangshi of Qingyang, so he asked to take him down and prevent his three thousand elite troops from retreating to Sichuan.
When Xu Yingyuan heard that Chen Jian had elite soldiers left by the three thousand Kings of Shu under him, he was very moved and calm on his face. He first felt unfair and pity for Chen Jian's unfair experience, and then asked Chen Jian: "The King of Jin wants to take Uncle Master, but he doesn't know what his plans are now?"
Chen Jian sighed and said, "Although Your Highness let me down, I can't let you down. Now I have nowhere to go, I can only go to find King Qingyang and the others." When he said this, Ding Yong and other generals looked helpless and disappointed.
Xu Yingyuan thought for a while and advised, "Master, you might as well listen to me. Since the King of Jin does not believe inMaster,Master might as well follow me to Guangdong. My general values the warriors the most. If you knowMaster is here, you will definitely welcome him."
"Um"
Chen Jian did not expect Xu Yingyuan to persuade him to go to Guangdong, and he was a little surprised. He naturally heard of the name and deeds of Duke Zhou Shixiang of Guangdong. Not to mention anything else, he fought against Duke Guangdong to win the situation in Guangdong with his own strength and severely damaged the Qing army, which made him admire him. But he had always served in the Daxi Army and had no relationship with Guangdong. Now he was the one who was ordered to be captured by the King of Jin. Can Duke of Guangdong accept him when he went to?
Xu Yingyuan smiled and said, "My uncle doesn't have to worry. My general is the most tolerant. Master, can you tell that General Qi Hao and Qi are now in my Taiping Army."
"Qi Hao?" Chen Jian was stunned: "Didn't he die in Xinhui?"
"General Qi lives well, how could he die?"
Xu Yingyuan immediately told Chen Jian about Qi Hao in detail. Hearing that Qi Hao is now deeply trusted by the Duke of Guangdong and has become the general of the Taiping Army's artillery town, Chen Jian couldn't help but sigh.
"General, now that the matter has come to this, let's join the Duke of Guangdong."
Ding Yong and several other rescued subordinates of the King of Shu persuaded Chen Jian, and they were really heartbroken by King of Jin and were extremely disappointed.
Chen Jian did not express his attitude and asked Xu Yingyuan: "I wonder what you have come to Anning?"
"This lord issued an order to marry the eldest princess to my grandmaster. Now the lord has moved again. We are worried about the princess, so we want to take the princess out and escort back to Guangdong.
