In the chaos of war, two teams of men and horses collided in panic. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people on both sides were killed and dozens more were injured. The leaders of both sides were still able to talk to each other. It was because they were in a hurry to get away for fear of causing trouble.
But when Zhang Rou asked this question, the atmosphere that had relaxed slightly immediately became tense again.
Wanyan Xielie didn't have any special reaction. His younger brother, Wanyan Monk Chen's shoulders sank slightly. That was not a salute. Zhang Rou was also a seasoned fighter, so she immediately recognized that it was a deliberate move before the kill.
After looking at Monk Yan Chen's eyes under the brim of his helmet, they were even more murderous. Obviously, if something went wrong next, this man would jump up like a leopard and kill Zhang Rou!
The story of these two brothers escaping from the Mongolian Plateau last year was widely praised in China. Zhang Rou had previously suspected that there was some bragging involved. But at this time, it seemed that the monk Wanyan Chen was young even though he was young.
, but he can really fight in ten battles on the battlefield!
The guards around Zhang Rou rushed over immediately, but Zhang Rou herself only felt pleasantly surprised.
The performance of these two brothers was enough to prove that his guess was right.
So he completely ignored the threat, looked directly at Wanyan and said slantingly: "Shuhu Gaoqi rebelled and opened the door to introduce the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongols entered from the Fengyi Gate in the south, and the Zhahe camp in the east was Muhua
Li’s residence.”
Wanyan nodded obliquely.
Zhang Rou added: "Miao Daorun's men are at the west wall, and I have companions stationed at Huichengmen in the north."
Wanyan Xianlie nodded again.
The meaning of Zhang Rou's two sentences is very clear.
One, Shuhu Gaoqi, colluded with the Mongols to rebel, but he, Zhang Rou, was not on the same side. The other, the east and south of Zhongdu, could not go. Wanyan Xielie and his party wanted to escape, or they had to go to
West, or north. These two directions are currently controlled by Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou. In other words, Zhang Rou can not only help them escape, but also prevent them from escaping.
While the two were talking, Zhang Rou's subordinates all arrived. He was originally a person who was good at dealing with people. Even when he was suppressed by the court, he could still control considerable strength. Although he was defeated from the military camp defending Zhi, he was still
Hundreds of people followed. Hundreds of people surrounded the Qingjin Gate, which immediately alerted Monk Wanyan Chen, so he took a step forward and brought Zhang Rou within the range of his long sword.
Wanyan Xielie pulled his irritable younger brother back.
He sighed deeply and looked up at the heights of the city.
Zhang Rou also looked up and said, "Let me pay my respects, and then we will take the emperor away!"
After saying that, he walked past Wanyan Xielie. Several attendants reached out to stop him, but Wanyan Xielie shook his head slightly and had no choice but to step away with a gloomy expression.
Monk Wanyan Chen stared at Zhang Rou's back and whispered: "Brother, this guy is unreliable!"
"I know."
Wanyan's slanted face showed a look of hesitation and pain, and he said: "Others are even more unreliable. No one can be trusted."
Wanyan Yongji, the previous Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, can be said to be a person who is hated by gods and ghosts. During his reign, there was political chaos internally and military defeats externally, which completely destroyed the foundation left by the Sejong Dynasty and Zhangzong Dynasty.
.So when there was a coup in Zhongdu, more than one person vaguely felt that Hu Shahu was being used as a gunman, but no one delved into the behind-the-scenes story. Everyone happily paid homage to the new emperor.
The newly ascended emperor, the original ascended king Wanyan Xun, was favored by Shan Yi, the powerful prime minister at that time, which had its own outstanding features. Apart from anything else, it was his drive to govern hard and his diligence and concern for the people.
From his temperament to his ability to sort out authority in a court filled with important ministers, the current emperor is more than ten times better than his predecessor in every aspect.
It's a pity that the Jurchens' regime has rotted from the roots. The decline of the Jin Kingdom is getting worse day by day, and it cannot be reversed by changing the emperor. Although the emperor has taken many measures one after another, none of them has started.
It worked. Before his death, Tu Shanyi specially arranged for King Sui to go to Kaifeng, which clearly showed his disappointment. So in the end, the emperor's efforts only received rewards and harsh evaluations.
The influence of the imperial court itself continued to decline, and the emperor's influence continued to decline in the imperial court, and it was about to rival the previous Emperor Jingzong.
When Du Shisheng contacted his partners to seize the city last night, he simply did not regard the emperor as a priority target. He only asked Zhang Rou to suppress the imperial city after taking control of the Imperial Guard Division.
This bought the emperor a little time to react.
An emperor with a suspicious personality and a constant fear that his throne would be shaken by others would cause headaches for the civil and military officials of the entire court when managing government affairs. However, when a coup occurred in Zhongdu, this emperor's performance had to be admired.
Wanyan Xielie was still dozing off at that time, and the emperor ran out of the West Palace dormitory barefooted, with only a few of his followers following him. Because the ground was too slippery, the followers rolled and crawled, while the emperor ran all the way and shouted: "
Someone is rebelling!"
Wanyan Xielie woke up and followed the emperor, and went to a high place to watch in person. Sure enough, he saw disturbances in the city. He immediately asked people to change the emperor's clothes and prepare his horse. Holding his token, he rushed outside to summon General Su Zhi, bodyguards and bodyguards.
The emperor's General Su Zhi and the bodyguards have been under the command of Wanyan Xielie for the past few months. This position was originally used to place the nobles' descendants, but Wanyan Xielie thought of many ways to mobilize them from the bodyguards.
A group of good soldiers came in, and they put great effort into daily training. They were stationed in the Xuanming Gate on the west side of the palace city. They gathered immediately as soon as they heard the emperor's call.
But the guard's garrison is a little further away, in the south of the palace, very close to the military camp of the Weijie Army. The palace covers an area of nine miles and thirty paces, and at night all the palace gates are ordered to be opened. Wanyan Xielie rides all the way.
Galloping, before reaching Yingtian Gate, I heard the sound of galloping horse hooves outside the palace city.
Immediately, the guards outside the palace gate screamed repeatedly, and fires surged in several places. Wanyan Xianlie seemed to see the blood and flesh flying outside through the door panel, and saw thousands of troops rising up to attack.
This is no ordinary rebellion, it is a rebellion by powerful officials with heavy troops! In Zhongdu, only Pingzhang Zhengshi and Marshal Shuhu Gaoqi can mobilize so many soldiers and horses at once to form a riot of this scale!
Wanyan Xielie understood instantly. He turned his horse back and rushed out of the palace from the north with dozens of Su Zhi generals and guards surrounding the emperor. At this time, the queen, concubines, and princes could no longer take care of him.
Let’s save the emperor’s life!
They moved very fast, but the chaos in Zhongdu City was the result of the unanimous agreement between Dinghai Navy and Shuhu Gaoqi. Shuhu Gaoqi's intimidation triggered a chain reaction among the people in the city, leading to a big war.
Collapse. After leaving the palace gate, the emperor himself changed into ordinary military uniforms and pretended to be a pawn. Wanyan Xianlie could not order the people to disperse under the emperor's banner, so he could not go directly to Tongxuanmen.
, but was carried away by the mob and turned to the west.
In just a short moment, the group of people was dispersed several times, and finally the mob dispersed. They settled briefly at the Qingjin Gate, but they were bumped into by Zhang Rou's men, and the two families started fighting.
Zhang Rou was born in the green forest of Hebei Province, and he made his fortune through the coup that year. He was never a member of the Da Jin Dynasty, and he never gained the true trust of the emperor. But after all, he served as the commander of the Armed Guards for a period of time.
, with his intelligence, he is able to grasp the context of the court.
Now, as soon as this person saw Wanyan Xielie, he deduced the secret.
When he asked the emperor where he was, could Wanyan Xielie still keep it a secret?
Nowadays, there is chaos in Zhongdu. Many wealthy and noble people are running away alone and in an extremely embarrassing situation. However, Zhang Rou is able to run with hundreds of fully armed people... Wanyan Xielie doesn't believe that he has nothing to do with tonight's chaos.
But what can he do?
It's really sad to say that the current Jin Kingdom has reached this level all the time. No one in the civil and military dynasties, in the huge Zhongdu, can be trusted!
In this case, there is no need to worry too much, get out of the city first! Don't fall into the hands of the Mongols, that is more important than anything else!
When Wanyan Xielie said this, many Su Zhi around him sighed. But Monk Wanyan Chen was a bit stubborn, so he still said: "Then I have to follow!"
He caught up with Zhang Rou in a few quick steps and followed Zhang Rou silently.
Zhang Rou didn't care at all. When Shi Shiran went up to the city gate, he saw a man standing behind the female wall with his hands folded and a pale face, looking around from time to time, very nervous.
Although it has been a long time since he had the opportunity to meet the emperor, Zhang Rou still remembered what the emperor looked like, and he would not admit his mistake.
The embarrassed man in front of him was the emperor of Dajin. After all, his status was noble. When the two faced each other, Zhang Rou actually felt a little coercive.
Judging from the current situation, the rise of the Mongols is inevitable, but they still have a long way to go if they want to enter the main domain. And Hebei and Shandong will all be in decline after losing on the battlefield. If Zhang Rou can
By controlling the emperor, you control a huge bargaining chip that can be sold at a price. No matter what you plan to do next, it will be very beneficial!
Thinking of this, he adjusted his robes slightly and adjusted his facial expression slightly to make himself look more solemn and sincere.
At the same time, the emperor also stared at Zhang Rou.
When Zhang Rou approached, the emperor took a deep breath, and then used all his strength to let out a heartbreaking scream: "Ahhhhh! Don't come over! There is a traitor who wants to harm me! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
