Hu Chengwen was actually killed by Yang Hongwen. This answer surprised Zhao Yongshen.
Just as he was shocked, the soldiers who followed Yang Hongwen had quietly touched their weapons.
Zhao Yongshen, who was shocked on the spot, still didn't realize the danger at this moment, and actually asked: "Why did you want to kill him?"
The next moment, Yang Hongwen was heard yelling, "Kill!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers behind him rushed forward on horseback. There was no room for Zhao Yongshen to react at a distance of two feet.
Although Zhao Yongshen brought 3,000 soldiers, his personal guards only numbered a hundred. Although these people reacted faster, they still could not avoid Zhao Yongshen falling into a trap.
When the two sides fought, the gap was immediately clear.
The dozens of people who followed Yang Hongwen were wearing the only iron armor in the army, and their combat power was much stronger than that of the palace guards.
When the army in the rear reacted and prepared to send troops to "comment the rebellion", Ning Wang Zhao Yongshen had already fallen into the hands of Yang Hongwen.
Taking Zhao Yongshen, for Yang Hongwen, his goal had been achieved, so he immediately ordered a retreat.
When they took action, more than two thousand soldiers and horses brought by Yang Hongwen also rushed forward at the same time.
Soon, Yang Hongwen reunited with his army, and the chasing army was already 300 meters away.
"What's going on? Why did Yang Duzhi rob Prince Ning?"
"Do we really want to fight him? Do we need to tell the envoy first?"
"First send someone to report to the two envoys, and then we will ask Yang Hongwen clearly!"
The three Qianhu people spoke to each other and quickly finalized the next action plan, all based on the premise of being wise and protecting themselves.
This shows how fragile the alliance created by King Ning is. It is difficult for such a temporary team to have one heart.
"The prince has been robbed, why are you still dawdling?"
The captain of the palace guard covered his arm and endured the pain as he came to the three Qianhus, his expression full of anger.
"There may be a misunderstanding here. Just let the matter be settled. You don't have to worry!"
Hearing this evasive explanation, the captain of the guard became even more furious and cursed: "If anything happens to the prince, you will all lose your heads!"
"Come here, please go down and have a rest!"
"yes!"
Then, the cursing captain of the guard was "invited" away by the soldiers.
"This guy really doesn't know how to behave. He got angry...I'll chop him with a knife!"
There is no way Yang Hongwen can help. It is easy for several thousand households to clean up one hundred households in the prince's palace.
At this moment, Yang Hongwen's army on the opposite side has completed their formation, and it will be a tough battle if they really want to fight.
In order to prevent misjudgment, several thousand households ordered the army to stop when they were two hundred meters away.
After the three people discussed it, they sent a member of the Baihu family to negotiate with Yang Hongwen's army.
"Your Majesty, several thousand households have sent me here to ask if there is any misunderstanding!"
At this moment, Zhao Yongshen was tied aside. If his mouth hadn't been gagged, he would have cursed loudly.
These bastards themselves were kidnapped by Yang Hongwen. They still think there is a misunderstanding. What other misunderstandings could there be?
These words roared in Zhao Yongshen's heart, but they could not change his situation as a prisoner.
"There is some misunderstanding. When I go back, I will tell you all that I have something to say to them!"
"If they don't want disaster to happen, come and see me immediately!"
"Go back!"
Yang Hongwen kept saying one sentence after another, not giving the hundreds of households a chance to ask questions, and then the man was invited out of the Lingbei Army.
After sending these two people away, Yang Hongwen glanced at Zhao Yongshen, who had been struggling in vain.
In addition to Yang Hongwen's work, several of his commanders are also busy cleaning up "disobedient" officers in the army.
Once these people are dealt with, they can truly control the army. Even if the army in Jiangxi and Nanhai needs to fight, they will have a chance to fight.
At this moment, all Yang Hongwen could do was wait.
In fact, he wanted to lead his men to evacuate, but there were 3,000 people watching from the opposite side, which meant that they would not be able to evacuate quickly.
And once the cowardice is lost in the retreat, it will be difficult to convince the two envoys in Jiangxi and Nanhai, which will lead to a larger-scale war.
After a long wait and nothing happened, Yang Hongwen had someone remove the lump from Zhao Yongshen's mouth.
"You traitor!"
This was the first sentence Zhao Yongshen spoke.
Originally, he still had a lot to say, but when he saw Yang Hongwen's indifferent expression, he lost interest for a while.
"Why are you doing this?" Zhao Yongshen tried to calm himself down.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth?"
Seeing that Zhao Yongshen's expression was like water, Yang Hongwen felt bored and continued: "Because I want to live!"
"What's the meaning?"
Yang Hongwen replied: "Following you to rebel will only lead to death!"
Zhao Yongshen sneered: "Then you are really as timid as a mouse. You are so scared before Yong Jun comes!"
Yang Hongwen sighed, and then said: "You... you are just too careless about life and death. Wouldn't it be better to be your king?"
"Did you know that the 30,000 defenders of Rongcheng were attacked by 10,000 Yong troops and could not withstand even half an hour?"
"Impossible!" Zhao Yongshen retorted immediately.
But Yang Hongwen did not argue with him. The purpose of chatting with Zhao Yongshen was for entertainment, not to argue between right and wrong.
After roaring for a while, Zhao Yongshen slowly calmed down.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Hongwen's cataplexy is very abnormal. Only when he loses his mind would he do something life-threatening.
But looking at Yang Hongwen's slow manner, it's obvious that he has the ability to think, which means... what Yang Hongwen said is probably true.
"No...impossible!" Zhao Yongshen roared again.
But at this time, he couldn't even convince himself.
The imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops were no match for Yong's army. So what's the impossibility of the Rongcheng defenders being defeated?
Seeing Zhao Yongshen's dejected expression, Yang Hongwen took a few steps forward.
Looking at the "enemy troops" waiting in formation in front, Yang Hongwen said slowly: "Your Majesty, accept your fate...His Royal Highness King Yong is the one who is destined to die, and you should not join in this fun!"
After a while of silence, Zhao Yongshen raised his head and asked, "What are you going to do with me?"
Turning around slightly, Yang Hongwen said in a deep voice: "It is the court's business to deal with you, how can I make my own decision!"
Nodding, Zhao Yongshen said: "I understand, you want to take credit for me and reward me!"
Yang Hongwen did not explain this, because this is the fact.
Essentially, he, Yang Hongwen, also participated in the rebellion. If he wanted to put aside the relationship and have a happy ending, he must have a "gift" that he could give.
As the leader of the rebel bandit, Zhao Yongshen is most suitable as a "meeting gift".
After that, the two of them didn't speak again, and the scene was silent.
Time gradually passed, and about half an hour later, smoke and dust rose from the southeast, and the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard.
About three hundred cavalry were galloping. In front of the team were Jiangxi Commandery Commander Huan and Nanhai Commandery Commander Zheng Zhouquan.
They did not have specialized cavalry. These three hundred or so cavalrymen were temporarily transferred from various guard posts and accompanied the two envoys as they headed north.
Prince Ning was robbed, which was such a big deal that these two people did not dare to delay any longer.
"It's right in front!"
When they discovered that Juan and his entourage were arriving, several thousand families who had stayed behind left the military formation and came to greet them.
Slowing down his speed and looking at the thousands of households in front of him, Juan cursed angrily: "You trash, trash!"
Zheng Zhouquan on the side continued to curse: "A living person was robbed in front of you, are you all just losers?"
The two cursed wildly for a while, and after venting their emotions, they had to calm down. After all, the problem was solved right now.
