Yuan Yi was so irritated by the noise that he turned over and sat up sleepily.
Yuan Huan didn't know when he got up and was standing by the window blankly, stretching his neck and looking out.
There was still noisy outside the hall, with soldiers running back and forth and shouting. There was a faint "dong-dong" sound in the distance. It didn't sound like a golden gong, but like a city wall collapsing suddenly.
Yuan Yi rubbed his aching head: "Is there a flood in the city?"
The voice was very soft, but it was like thunder in Yuan Huan's ears.
When he turned around, Yuan Yi was startled: his eyes were bulging with anger and filled with bloodshot eyes. Blue veins popped up on his forehead, and the flesh on his cheeks kept twitching:
"Do you want to live or die?"
Thinking that he was trying to persuade him to surrender again, Yuan Yi's face fell.
"I'm not advising you to live a happy life, but I'm asking you to look up to God, not to be ashamed of others, and to be innocent in the world..."
Is there such a good thing?
Listening to the continuous vibrations, Yuan Yi suddenly thought: "Has something changed in the city?"
Doesn’t it mean that King Qinghe is more than loyal but not astute?
Yuan Huan sighed sadly: "There is a large army attacking the city. A certain military general outside the hall is shouting. It must be the imperial army... Lu Yan's plan is not secret and the plan is not complete. Today, he will definitely fail.
But when he is defeated, he will definitely defeat you... Now, I am the only one who can save you. But after I protect your life, you must also protect me..."
Yuan Yi was surprised and suspicious, with a strange face.
The imperial army came out of nowhere. Isn't it Luo Jian who was deceiving the city under the banner of the army?
No wonder Yuan Huan was so frightened that he was as horrified as a ghost?
The ink on the call to arms has only been dry for a few days, and he is suddenly about to be defeated?
Haha, you really deserve it...
Just as Yuan Yi was about to sneer, there was a faint sound of soldiers running outside the hall, as if they were heading towards the town government.
"Calm down, don't talk too much, I have everything..."
With these few words, the soldier had already rushed to the door. Yuan Huan squeezed Yuan Yi's hand hard and turned around.
Just like a magic trick, the look of horror on his face disappeared, and everything became calm and calm.
Just this skill of changing faces made Yuan Yi amazed...
The person who came was Uncle Sun Sheng, the brigade commander who guarded the town day and night, and was Lu Yan's confidant.
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Sun Sheng looked straight at Yuan Yi. With a wave of his hand, four soldiers immediately drew their sabers and surrounded him.
Yuan Yi's face turned pale: As Yuan Huan said, he really came to kill him...
Yuan Huan moved two steps sideways and stopped in front of Yuan Yi.
"Uncle Sun Sheng, I know what you want to do: Lu Yan knows that he has been defeated, but he regrets it, so he wants to kill King Qinghe to vent his anger. But there is a saying: Those who understand the current affairs are heroes!
As long as you let King Qinghe go, you will turn from darkness to light and bring order to the chaos. With Your Highness interceding for you and me, no matter who leads the army, you and I will be safe..."
Uncle Sun Sheng was about to yell, but when the words came to his lips, he was stunned again.
What Yuan Huan refers to is not just "you", but "you and me"?
As expected of a treacherous and slippery person, he repeats what he says, just like eating and drinking, which is extremely shameless.
But it is such old thieves who live the longest?
Just two sentences made Shusun Sheng shaken. And no one in the yamen guards under his command said anything. Instead, they all looked at Shusun Sheng eagerly. They were clearly moved by Yuan Huan.
That’s all...
Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry: "Commander of the brigade, the army has entered the city and is running towards the city..."
Yuan Huan and Uncle Sun Sheng were both shocked: So fast?
This incident happened suddenly. Even the soldiers in the city did not surrender, but the army suddenly came to the city. Lu Yan was undoubtedly defeated.
But no one expected that they would be defeated so quickly?
From the sound of the gong at the top of the city to this moment, it has not been half an hour...
"Don't panic... We were coerced by Lu Yan and had no choice but to rebel, and we didn't make a big mistake... His Highness King Qinghe will definitely say it for me... Come, let His Highness change his clothes..." p>
The Yamenweizhuang general who came to Bingbao crying was shocked: How can this be done?
What else can be done?
Shusun Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "Go quickly and give the order: there is no resistance along the way. All troops must abandon their troops, remove their armor, lie down on the ground, and greet the rebels... If you encounter a general leading the army, please come to the Yamen Hall immediately..."
After saying that, he put on a charming smile again and bowed to Yuanyi: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Just follow what the general said!"
Yuan Yi felt determined, and sighed helplessly to himself: No matter how shameless, the group of flatterers in Beijing can't keep up with the group in Bian Town...
Then the general put on brand new clothes for Yuan Yi, and Huben attacked Xingzai.
Well, it shouldn't be called "attack", it should be called "running".
From the moment we entered the city, the journey was almost smooth. Except for the chance encounter with a group of Li's tribe who were still setting fires, and almost a fight, there were no obstacles.
Yuan Xi took the lead, and there was not even a trace of blood on the gun blade.
When we arrived at Xingzai, we thought we would encounter resistance, which would be better than getting addicted to handicrafts. Unexpectedly, a group of government soldiers were not as good as the townspeople on the street. The townspeople were still able to cry out, but these government soldiers were like wood, they all knelt down.
He lay prone on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
Yuan Xi was so depressed that he galloped into the palace gate with his horse, ran through the palace road, and rushed into the government hall with great power.
Several maids who were combing Yuan Yi's hair screamed in fright.
"Your Highness? Haha...are you still alive?"
Yuan Yi was surprised and happy, and looked confused.
Is it really the Chinese Army?
When he set out from the capital to propagate the six towns, Yuan Xi had just been demoted from General Wuwei to General Huben because of his inability to protect him...
"Did you lead the army?"
"Your Highness really thinks highly of me!"
Yuan Xi laughed and responded, then heard another shout: "How presumptuous... Who asked you to ride a horse into the Yamen? Why don't you get off..."
As soon as he heard it, he knew it was Yuan Zhi. Yuan Xi curled his lips secretly and responded lazily, with a look of disdain on his face.
Strictly speaking, the two are of the same level: Yuan Zhi is the Tiger Cavalry General, and he is the Tiger Camp General, and they are about the same size.
It was only because of the urgent march that Li Chengzhi ordered Yuan Zhi to take charge and Yuan Xi to assist.
Furthermore, knowing that Yuan Zhi looks down on him, Yuan Xi will naturally not put his hot face on his cold butt. To say that he is afraid, that is not the slightest bit.
Yuan Zhi did have many military exploits, but Yuan Xi was also worthy: because his father was Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan...
He dismounted slowly, making a show of being obedient. After dilly-dallying for a long time, he only took off half of the pedal.
But when he heard Li Liang outside the door calling him "Mr.", Yuan Xi jumped down as if he had been electrocuted. He then drove his horse to the side as hard as he could, for fear that no one would see him. p>
Yuan Yi and Yuan Huan's eyes were full of surprise and doubt: Who is this person who actually frightened Yuan Xi, who was still unruly before blinking, like a mouse seeing a cat?
In surprise, I heard someone calling the commander outside the door, and a tall figure walked into the hall.
Seeing the snow-and-ink silver thread, Yuan Yi could hardly believe his eyes.
"Li...Li Chengzhi?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Chengzhi would come, but the way he looked at this time: covered in blood, which had already stained the leather robe and felt boots on his feet. It was frozen into ice, as if he was covered with a layer of blood armor.
.
With every step you take, ice shards will shake off themselves and scatter on the stone bricks, just like red crystals sprinkled on the floor.
He knew that the imperial court had sent troops to quell the rebellion, and that the commander of the three armies was Li Chengzhi. Even Yuan Yi also knew this news.
But I always thought that the most people coming would be Li Shao, the left governor, or Diao Zheng, the right governor. Or Yang Jun, the left or right commander, or Li Daoyuan...
These few are all Han ministers. With the prominence of the Yuan family, Li Shao and his ilk have to look at the Buddha's face even if they don't look at the monk's face. If there is a reason for the incident, 90% of them will not be embarrassed.
But I never expected that it would be the young Li Chengzhi?
Although he lives in a border town, Yuan Huan is not an ignorant person. He has heard a lot of rumors about Li Chengzhi. Knowing that he was lucky enough to rise to the top, it can be said that it is extremely fast. In less than a year, he has become a member of many aristocratic families, and it will take several lifetimes for him to reach the top.
The height we have reached is so high that we can only look back and sigh with regret.
And it is precisely because of his youthful wealth, youthful vigor, and arrogance that it is difficult to deal with...
He wanted to give Yuan Yi a wink, but Yuan Yi could not care about him...
Just like seeing a relative, Yuan Yi's nose felt sour, and tears immediately filled his eyes. He stared closely at Li Chengzhi who was stained with blood: "Why... is this happening?"
"Why else? I was afraid that I would be late and I wouldn't even be able to collect the body for you, so I had to hurry up. I didn't expect you to be alive? Haha..."
Yuan Yi's tears almost fell: "I almost... almost died..."
"Don't fool me!"
Li Chengzhi glanced around and pointed at the leftover meat, pickled vegetables, wine glasses on the table, and the few maids who were washing and dressing Yuan Yi:
"Good meat, good food, good wine, beautiful women, there is no lack of any of them? I obviously respect you as a guest...I think I am reluctant to kill you..."
Yuan Yi's face turned red from embarrassment, and he even held back his tears.
Li Chengzhi was too lazy to tease him again, and turned his head again, looking at Yuan Huan with a half-smile: "Captain Yuan?"
Yuan Huan straightened his back vigorously: "It's me!"
My officer?
Are you really good at hitting snakes and following them with sticks?
Li Chengzhi threw something forward and chuckled: "Dudu Guo Yuan deserves to be a man who has read poetry and books, is full of knowledge, has brilliant literary talent, and profound principles, which is beyond the reach of Li..."
Out of reach?
Yuan Huan caught it in a panic, and when he saw what it was, his face suddenly turned pale. He had already thought of a lot of excuses, but he couldn't even say a single sentence?
His handwritten call to arms!
He was able to enter the city just a moment ago. Where did Li Chengzhi get it?
Yuan Huan was so anxious that he had no composure at all. He even had an impulse to tear the letter into pieces and swallow it.
His hands had already grasped the wooden shafts on both sides tightly, and he was about to exert force. Suddenly, he felt a coldness on his face, and Yuan Huan suddenly woke up.
Yes, what will happen even if the evidence is destroyed?
They have all thought that Li Chengzhi, who suddenly became rich at a young age and was young and vigorous, would not be as harmonious as Yuan Cheng and others, and he would not be as easy to coax and fool as Yuan Yi, so why should I anger him? "This... this was forced by Lu Yan with his ax and ax... I... I had no choice but to... And from the beginning to the end, I wanted to bring order to the chaos. It was only now that I found a good opportunity: If I hadn't come forward to rescue me, Qinghe would have
His Royal Highness is already unfortunate..."
Knowing that Yuan Huan had taken advantage of him, Yuan Yi had to defend him.
Yuanhuan is still useful, at least for now...
"Captain Yuan is not lying, it is true..."
Haha...
Li Chengzhi shook his head like he was laughing.
He has long passed the stage of not seeing any grain of sand in his eyes, not to mention that this is not the time to be serious.
It’s not too late to settle accounts after the fall.
He stared at Yuan Huan coldly: "Do you want to die, or do you want to live, Governor Yuan?"
This sentence sounds so familiar, how humiliating does it make Yuan Huan feel?
He really wanted to ask: Do you dare to kill me?
I really dare to kill!
Compared with Yuan Ji, Yuan Huan is just one level behind?
At that time, Li Chengzhi had only graduated from the fifth grade...
Yuan Yi took two steps and stopped in front of Yuan Huan, just like Yuan Huan saved him a moment ago: "I want to live!"
Li Chengzhi just pretended not to hear and continued to press Yuan Huan. He didn't stop until Yuan Huan nodded, gritted his teeth and said "I want to live".
"Yuan Zhi, together with Governor Yuan, gathered the town troops and exposed Lu Yan's crimes to the public. He also sent tiger cavalry to the town government envoys to convey orders to each garrison:
Rouran's army has arrived outside Jinhao Pass, and may invade the pass today. All garrison and counties are ordered to be on strict alert, but if they are discovered, they will immediately light smoke to send messages..."
Yuan Yi was horrified: "Is there really an army of Rouran?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, where would Lu Yan have the courage to start a rebellion?"
Li Chengzhi responded, and told Yuan Xi and others to replace the tiger cavalry and tiger ben to guard the city, and ordered the town army in the city to set up camp for the Chinese army, make food and other matters. He also ordered Li Liang to summon Huangfu Rang, and Li Feng immediately changed his clothes.
Incorporated into the Zhongbing Cao (Guard Battalion).
After a few breaths, the generals were ordered to leave, and the maidservants were also sent away, leaving only Li Chengzhi and Yuan Yi in the hall.
Yuan Yi stopped talking and sighed sadly: "Although the Yuan family is not the eighth surname (the eight nobles of Xianbei), it still belongs to the Gaoliang family (along with Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang).
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Moreover, the progressive tribesmen have many children, and they are intertwined in the government, the public, and the army. A single move can affect the whole body... Why should you humiliate him?"
"Do you know why he dares to play both sides, and suddenly relapses like eating and drinking? It's just because you are expected, the court dare not do anything to him for the time being. If he doesn't understand that I really dare to kill him, there is no guarantee that I will lead my troops into the pass.
After that, he will not get up again..."
Li Chengzhi sneered and said, "Multiple bets are a common tactic of the family. I didn't kill him on the spot, so I was widening the net. What does humiliation mean?"
Yuan Yi wanted to persuade him again, but he couldn't find the right words.
It is true as Li Chengzhi said, do extraordinary things in emergency situations, and kill chickens to scare monkeys when necessary.
He sighed sadly: "Where is Lu Yan?"
"The army fled before entering the city! However, I have ordered Yuan Chen to lead his Qingqi in pursuit. Even if he cannot catch up, he will be forced to flee south... And two days ago, I ordered Gao Meng to be intercepted by Shuo Fang. Unless Lu Ting can grow wings, otherwise
Is it inevitable to escape again?"
"You entered the city two days ago?"
Yuan Yi was very surprised, "You just sent out troops from Luoyang more than 20 days ago, but you expected that something would happen in Fertile Field?"
"It was more than twenty days ago?"
Li Chengzhi laughed coldly and said, "Two months ago, the day after the death of the late emperor, what did I say to you and the princes in the court? But you all thought that I was alarmist, but now?"
Yuan Yi was choked and speechless, looking at Li Chengzhi as if he were a god.
Now that I think about it, Li Chengzhi is just as good at pinching and counting?
Don't say that he is frustrated. I am afraid that not one of the officials in the court can figure it out. Why does Li Chengzhi dare to be so sure?
Otherwise, why would he have resolutely led his cavalry to the six towns as soon as the army left Luoyang, and why would he have arrived in such a timely manner?
If it were delayed for a day or two, it would be too late by the time the Rouran army entered the pass...
Yuan Yi was surprised and admired at the same time. Just as he was about to inquire, a "report" came from outside the door. When he looked up, he seemed to be Li Da, the head of Li Chengzhi's retainers.
"Lang Jun, suddenly a large army came from the east, about two to three thousand in number, and it has reached ten miles east of the city..."
"What's the flag?"
"We haven't found out yet!"
"Don't be alarmed, the Huaishuo Army should be coming... very quickly?"
Li Chengzhi chuckled softly and said, "Come on, let me change my clothes... and send an order to Yuan Zhi: If it is Luo Jian or Yang Jun, please come to the town office immediately. Except for the personal guards, half of the other soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city..."<
/p>
Yuan Yi's face was full of weirdness: "You don't even believe Luo Jian?"
Li Chengzhi sneered and said: "Don't talk about Luo Jian, I don't even believe you. If I hadn't captured Lu Yan's cronies and found out that you hadn't betrayed, do you think I would be so polite to you?"
Yuan Yi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and his teeth gritted loudly...
