Invincible son

When Li Zi, Marquis of Hejian, learned that the gate of the Circular Mound Altar was closed, the turmoil inside had ended.

All the Luanyi guards arranged by Wu Cunren were killed, and none of them escaped. Pei Yue finally showed his side on the battlefield, which made the civil servant Wu Xun in the besieged city feel chills.

For a long time, Pei Yue's image in their hearts was that of a gentle and introverted loyal minister, and the only few outbreaks were related to family affairs.However, after the Dingguo Mansion assassination happened some time ago, Pei Yue not only forced the palace to kill Fan Yu, but also forcefully expelled the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Officials from the court.If it is still because of his defensive temperament, then the scene of blood flowing into rivers in the Circular Mound Altar today made many people realize a cold reality——

The young man standing beside the Son of Heaven is by no means an indecisive generation. Over the years, he has fought in the north and south and killed countless enemies. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in his hands in the Western Wu and Southern Zhou Dynasties.

It's just that those wars took place in distant frontiers or in enemy countries, and officials and people in Duzhong rarely witnessed it with their own eyes. This seemed to give them an illusion that Pei Yue had always been a loyal minister of Daliang and would always be. As long as it is under the banner of righteousness, Pei Yue will willingly accept it.

To this day, Pei Yue used the scene of corpses strewn all over the field to tell everyone that once he was cornered, all bottom lines would not exist.

Wu Cunren's condition was very bad, his eyes were red but his face was pale, the scar on his left cheek was clearly visible, the blood red mark seemed to be Pei Yue's silent mockery.But there was no look of despair in his eyes, because everything had just begun, even if Pei Yue could control the situation in the Circular Mound Altar, he would not be able to reverse the overall disadvantage.

The name of treason has been charged to him, coercing the emperor will only prove the crime, and the Tian family and the imperial court have absolute advantages in the capital, Pei Yue only relies on the two guards of the Beiying and the three thousand backs in the capital. Can Wei Ying change his fate against the sky?What's more, Wu Cunren knew Ping Nanwei's true position very well.

This His Royal Highness Jin Wang can't just throw beans into soldiers like a god.

Pei Yue still looked calm and calm. After solving the biggest reliance in the Empress Dowager Wu's hands, that is, the hundreds of brave and loyal Luan Yi guards, he asked the team of iron-armored warriors to guard the palace. At the gate to the east of the altar, the soldiers of the royal family still stayed on the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven, surrounding Liu Xian and the important officials of the court.

Of course, he still made such arrangements in the name of protection until now.

From the beginning to the end, Pei Yue didn't deliberately target Wu Cunren, and he didn't even get someone to tie him up, as if the executor of this conspiracy was like air in his eyes.

Looking at Pei Yue who was standing next to Liu Xian and talking in a low voice, Wu Cunren finally couldn't help but said coldly: "Could it be that the King of Jin thinks that he has the chance to win?"

The venue suddenly fell silent.

Liu Xian frowned, but Pei Yue smiled slightly and said, "Don't be upset, Your Majesty, Bachelor Wu is kindly reminding me."

Wu Cunren shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's city mansion is really unmatched. I am afraid that even Wang Pingzhang will be willing to bow down. Today you ambushed your troops inside, transferred the northern camp outside, and now you are threatening the emperor and all civil and military officials. How can you still pretend to be this loyal minister?" Posture, the lower officials have to obey."

He thought his words would resonate with other people, but when he looked around, he saw that most of the other officials bowed their heads, and only a few people shared his hatred. A man with a look of contempt on his face.

Wu Cunren couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. These people may have been frightened by Pei Yue's fierceness today, and they didn't even have the courage to denounce treacherous ministers.

Pei Yue did not argue with him, and said calmly: "According to Scholar Wu's plan, the nine gates of the capital have been closed at this moment, and the garrison and the southern battalion have been mobilized. Inside the altar, sooner or later, it will become a turtle in an urn. As for Ping Nanwei, who is facing the imperial army outside at the moment, they seem to be my king's people, but in fact their mission is the same as that of the imperial army, to prevent my king from escaping from here."

Wu Cunren was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since King Jin knows it well, why do you have to make unnecessary struggles? The official knows that His Highness still has a loyal Tai'an Guard, but under the general situation of Huanghuang, a team of more than ten thousand soldiers What can pawns do?"

Pei Yue smiled, and suddenly changed the subject: "If the king guessed correctly, Puding Hou Chen Huan has now divided the Southern Camp into two, one will go to Shouyang Mountain to deal with Tai'an Guard, and he himself will Lead the main force to go to Gulin Post?"

Many ministers were slightly puzzled, but Wu Cunren's expression changed dramatically.

His face was terrified, and his eyes were fixed on Pei Yue, as if he was looking at a demon who had calculated his heart.

……

Gulin Station, located more than [-] miles west of Kyoto, is the only way for Daliang to enter Qizhou westward, and it can be called the west gate guarding Kyoto.

At noon, an army appeared a few miles west of Gulinyi, and was forced to stop because a Beijing army blocked their way.

This army returning from the western border was a bit disturbed. They shed their blood for Daliang and went through hardships to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops from Western Wu. Now is the time to return to their hometown and enjoy the glory. Why did the Beijing army on the opposite side form a strict formation? , and even showed obvious hostility?

After a while, Gu Mang patted his horse and rode to the front of the pass, looked at Puding Hou Chen Huan in the formidable army, frowned and asked: "What is Chen Hou's intention?"

Puding Hou Chen Huan's face was solemn, with a slight look of shame in his eyes.

When he was in the western region, he once fought side by side with Gu Mang, and under the command of Gu Liang, he completed a jedi counterattack with the weak defeating the strong. However, at this moment, he had to stand on the opposite side, because Emperor Kaiping appointed him as the head coach of the Southern Camp. , It is to leave a guarantee for the Tian family.

He didn't answer Gu Mang's question, but raised his eyes to look at the Western Army in the distance, and said slowly: "It's been a long time since you've seen the third son, and his demeanor is even better than before."

Gu Mang couldn't help clenching the spear in his hand, and the mount under his crotch kept snorting.

Seeing this, Chen Huan forced a smile and said, "Master Jun Ji's injury has healed?"

Gu Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "I am sorry for Chen Hou's concern, but now it seems that the imperial court does not want to see my father recover."

Their whereabouts were not hidden. In fact, there were spies deployed by Taishitai Pavilion and Luan Yiwei everywhere, and they could not hide, so the court has always been able to control their speed.

Chen Huan was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Young Master, you are serious. I came here today because a major event happened in the capital, so the frontier troops are not allowed to enter the capital. I will not prevent Mr. Junji from returning to Beijing, and please ask the third son to pass the news on your behalf."

"No need to tell."

Suddenly, a voice full of air came from the Western Army formation.

Chen Huan's heart trembled, and when he looked up, he saw that the Western Army's vanguard had split up, and a horse came out calmly. It was Hou Guliang of Guangping who had been seriously injured for a long time.

However, judging from the other party's complexion, how could this be a bedridden person?
It is impossible to describe the shock and panic in Chen Huan's heart at the moment, he could only force himself to calm down, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Junji. The last general is unable to fully salute with his armor on his body. Please forgive me, Mr. Junji."

Gu Liang said leisurely: "There is no need to stick to the etiquette. Just now Chen Hou said that there has been a change in the city, can you elaborate on what happened?"

Today, Chen Huan led the two guards of the Southern Camp to block the entrance of the Gulin Station. Gu Liang was surrounded by the same two guards. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be afraid, but the middle-aged man opposite him was like a god of war. Even more dreadful than Pei Yue.

and many more……

In a trance, Chen Huan replied: "Master Junji, today the emperor held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven at the Circular Mound Altar of the Imperial Mausoleum. The King of Jin arranged for assassins to attack the court guards inside to intimidate the emperor, and mobilized the northern camp outside to intimidate the imperial army. The flag on the side of the Qing emperor. Now the capital is under martial law, so the frontier troops cannot enter."

He originally thought that Gu Liang would be furious, but the other party did not change his expression, and gave an unexpected answer: "So that's the case, then follow the order of the court, and the left guard of Lingzhou camps in place, and Marquis Chen doesn't have to." nervous."

Chen Huan was full of puzzlement, he raised his eyes to look at the opponent's lineup, suddenly a thunderbolt crashed into his mind, and asked in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask Mr. Junji, where is Zang Fengwei now?"

Gu Liang smiled and said calmly: "At dawn today, Wei Rui left with Zang Fengwei, and I don't know where they went. By the way, it should be almost the same time as the time when Chen Hou led the troops to Gulin Station .”

A resounding sound came from Chen Huan's mind. Gu Liang's words not only pointed out that the so-called king of Jin's rebellion had hidden motives, otherwise the Southern Camp of the Jing Army would not have come to Gulin Station to deploy defenses in advance, and more importantly, the Zangfeng Guards had disappeared in advance!
He still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Gu Liang had already turned around and returned to the formation, leaving the southern battalion commander in a mess in the wind.
