Jia Xu is a nightmare that hangs in the hearts of all imperialists.
In the hearts of everyone in the Imperial Party, Jia Xu's level of danger, not even that of the Grand Master, is comparable to that of him, but far more dangerous than anyone else in Luoyang City.
It was precisely because Jia Xu was too dangerous that Liu Xie took the risk to assassinate Jia Xu, and his decision was unanimously approved by Yang Ping, Sima Yi and others.
If the imperialist party's coup plan wants to succeed, it must first get rid of Jia Xu. After all, if Jia Xu is here, he may not even be able to take the first step.
In order to successfully get rid of Jia Xu, the imperial party also tried their best, but they did not expect that the other party would actually fake death to lure themselves and others into a trap.
This shows that in the battle of wits, even if Yang Ping and Sima Yi were present, the Imperial Party still completely lost to the old fox Jia Xu.
After hearing the news that Jia Xu was still alive, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao and others all panicked. Kong Rong even asked in a panic: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Although Liu Xie was precocious, he was only a teenager after all. He could not cope with such a complicated situation, so he could only look to Ma Rixi for help.
Ma Rixi actually had no idea in his heart, but at this point he had no choice but to bite the bullet, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, Jia Xu can't cover everything. Besides, the plan has already been started. No matter whether it succeeds or not, it can't be abandoned halfway.
, now we can only burn the boat."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Xie's eyes. He looked at the people below and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think?"
Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang and others looked at each other and understood that it was too late to quit now, and immediately said in unison: "Fight with the old thief Jia Xu."
"good."
Liu Xie clenched his fists, his face full of determination.
Fight.
The Imperial Party has been carefully planning for so long, so it is naturally impossible for them to have only such a small amount of power.
In addition to the new army and the reorganized army of the famous families, the imperial party still has manpower available in Luoyang City, but this is the last resort.
The original plan of the imperial party was to launch a coup with the help of the new army and the reorganized army of the family. After successfully possessing part of the military power, even if the Tang army was introduced to Luoyang, it would not become a puppet again, but would form a joint resistance with the Tang army.
Qin's posture.
The Tang army relied on the righteousness of the Han Dynasty to deal with the Qin army, and the Han Dynasty relied on the strength of the Tang army to resist the Qin army. The two sides complemented each other and helped each other.
Liu Xie finally got rid of Qin Hao's control, so naturally he didn't want to be Li Shimin's puppet anymore.
However, with Jia Xu's fake death and comeback, and the large-scale purge of the New Army and the reorganized army of the family, it was obvious that the imperial party's original plan had been completely aborted.
Now even if the imperial party succeeded in luring the Tang army into the city, because the power in their hands was too weak, Liu Xie could not control his own destiny. He would only continue to be Li Shimin's puppet, but he could only continue to bite the bullet.
The final strength of the imperial party is hidden in the mansions of the major families.
Although Jia Xu issued an order to recruit clan soldiers, it was impossible to recruit all the clan soldiers. After all, if the family wanted to hide people, they had many options. The simplest way was to disguise the clan soldiers as slaves.
If a noble family refuses to admit that its servants are clan soldiers, there is no way outsiders can prove this.
Jia Xu can recruit clan soldiers from major families, but he can't recruit his servants as well, right? After all, his servants don't have much fighting power.
Of course, the Qin army was not easy to fool. Although the Luoyang family hid part of their power, they still handed over most of their troops. The same goes for families who are loyal to the imperial party.
bump……
The door of Zhang Miao's house opened wide, and two hundred servants rushed out, each holding a sword in his hand, and shouted, "Kill Qin's thieves, and clear the king's side."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, and Qiao Mao also opened their mansion doors, and a large number of servants came out with swords in their hands, shouting the same slogan of "Kill Qin's thieves and clear the emperor's side."
Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, and Qiao Mao had all been princes. Even if they were defeated and surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, their backgrounds were inferior to those of some big families. Even if they handed over most of their clan troops, Meijia still had 200 people hidden.
Just four families including Zhang Miao captured 800 troops. The Liu, Kong, Ma, Qiao, Yang, Fu, Dong and other families naturally hid a certain number of clan soldiers, ranging from more than a hundred to a few.
Dozens of people, when these military forces are gathered together, it is quite a force.
bump……
The gate of the Confucian Mansion was wide open. Kong Yue, the general of the Confucian family, led dozens of clan soldiers out of the gate. He found that the way forward was blocked by a Confucian scholar, who was the new leader of Confucianism, Kong Qiu.
"go back."
Confucius said coldly, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
Kong Rong is really crazy. He does things without considering the consequences. He is looking for death and will not only harm his family, but he will never let these people participate in the next coup.
Kong Yue was once a commander in the Northern Navy, a first-rate master, and both came from the Kong family. Naturally, he recognized Kong Qiu at a glance and was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.
Opposite Mianqiu, the great master, not to mention Kong Yue was only a first-class master, even a master was not enough.
The Grand Master had already spoken, but Kong Yue didn't dare to refuse. He quickly led dozens of clan soldiers back to Kong's Mansion and locked the door tightly.
Seeing this, Confucius snorted coldly and left quickly.
He cannot stay with the Kong family for too long, otherwise Jia Xu may be dissatisfied with him.
Thinking of Jia Xu, Confucius couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He came to Luoyang in person this time with sincerity, but Jia Xu just couldn't completely trust him and Kong Xuan.
Jia Xu was on guard against both Confucius and Kong Xuan. Not only did he send a great master to monitor Confucius, but he even hired... to keep an eye on Kong Xuan.
"As for Jia Xu, I'm afraid no one in this world can be completely trusted." Confucius said to himself with a dissatisfied look on his face.
At the same time, Fuxi also appeared at the door of Fu's house.
Although Qin Hao transferred Fu Wan out of Luoyang, Fu Wan was the consort of the Han Dynasty, and his relationship with the Han Dynasty was basically closed. Many people in the Fu family were influenced by Fu Wan.
Therefore, even though Fu Wan is no longer in Luoyang, there are still imperialists in the Fu family and they are involved in Liu Xie's plan.
Just when Fu Wu, the general of the Fu family, came out of the house, he saw Fu Xi with murderous intent on his face, and he screamed in fright.
"Eldest, eldest young master?"
"Go back, no one can leave the house today, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." Fuxi said coldly.
Hearing this, Fu Wu suddenly looked embarrassed. At this time, Fu Wan's nephew Fu Hua came out and persuaded: "Brother, Qin Hao took the emperor to order the princes, and everyone knows his intention to replace the Han Dynasty.
For the Fu family, we should help the Han Dynasty fight against the Qin Dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, a blood hole appeared on Fu Hua's forehead, and he was hit head first, dying silently.
