Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 84
Looking at the big seal held high in the hand of the visitor, Fan Zhen, who was dressed in military uniform on the palace wall, frowned and asked with a smile:

"It turned out to be the guards next to the Commander. I don't know if you are here at this time, is it at the command of the Commander?"

The guard was not afraid of fraud, nodded immediately and said:
"According to the order of the commanding officer, Captain Fan quickly leads the troops to attack Zihuan Hall!"

"Little guard, how dare you speak wild words! How does this general feel that you are Da Qi's spy?"

Fan Zhen squinted his eyes and sneered.

Seeing Fan Zhen put a big hat on himself with his backhand, the guard was furious, raised his seal and asked.

"General Fan, what do you mean? This is the commander's intention. How dare you obey the order and disrespect it? Look clearly, this is the general seal of the Marquis!"

"enough!"

Fan Zhen shouted angrily, took off the long bow from his back, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, pointed it at the guards outside the palace, and said coldly:

"Who doesn't know that the Commander-in-Chief is a loyal and patriotic man? Now that His Majesty, the Prince and the Marquis are all in the Zihuan Palace, you let me lead the troops to attack the Zihuan Palace. Needless to say, what are your intentions!"

Seeing that the other party was still about to speak, Fan Zhen's eyes turned cold, his right hand loosened slightly, and the arrow flew out of the string immediately, piercing his heart through the other party's stunned gaze.

"you……"

The guard pointed at Fan Zhen and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the other party was pierced by his own arrow, and the dead could not die again, Fan Zhen just threw the cloak behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Close the palace door and lock it!"

At this time, the imperial guards around Fan Zhen were all loyal men selected by him personally, and most of them were good at shooting. Hearing what Fan Zhen said, he did not hesitate at all. In a moment, the entire Zihuan Palace was completely isolated from the outside world.

Even the corpses on the ground were dragged to the side and hidden in the bushes, leaving only a faint pool of blood outside the palace gate.

"General Fan, shall we go to Zihuan Hall to rescue His Majesty?"

A guard walked up to Fan Zhen and asked in a low voice.

This person is none other than Zhao Yu's personal eunuch, Gao Lishi, who was ordered from Zihuan Palace.

"Gao Diaodang came from Zihuan Hall, so he should know Huang Jingming's strength. Since Gao Diaodang said that His Majesty has capable guards there, it is not necessary for me to wait. The most important thing for us now is to firmly Guard the Zihuan Palace!

The guy who came here just now must have been assigned by Huang Wenbo.According to what Gao Diaodang said, His Majesty Huang Wenbo has also made arrangements, so we just need to guard this Zihuan Hall and not let others in.

Commander Zhang, I will leave this to you.Please Gao Diaodang and Fan Mou go to the command post of the Forbidden Army and control the other two commanders, so that the imperial city is safe. "

After hearing Fan Zhen's words, Gao Lishi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"General Fan is indeed a man who is loyal to the country, our family admires him!"

As expected, smart people are easy to deal with.

This Fan Zhen was worthy of being someone that Huang Jingming valued in the past. This method of removing suspicion and showing his attitude was enough to make Gao Lishi think highly of him.

Leaving the matter of guarding the Purple Huan Palace in the hands of Zhang Xiu, a person whom His Majesty trusted, was a way of showing his attitude; letting himself go to the Forbidden Army Command Post with him was a way of showing loyalty to His Majesty himself.

Although His Majesty's original plan has changed somewhat, if His Majesty finds out in the future, he will not blame General Zhang, but will praise him for being reasonable.

With this thought in his mind, Gao Lishi said:

"General Fan, you and I alone may still be in danger... Before our family came, His Majesty had explained that there are two strong men in the imperial army, Wang Kan."

In Gao Lishi's view, His Majesty would be happy to see him give some of the credit to these two people.

Although His Majesty said that the servants are not allowed to interfere in politics, as a servant, it is always possible for him to establish a good relationship with the confidant generals who are in charge of guarding the palace, right?

Drums don't need heavy hammers.

Hearing Gao Lishi's words, Fan Zhen instantly understood the unfinished meaning of the words, called out Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng, and asked them to go to the command post of the Imperial Army with them.

However, the four of them had just walked less than half a mile when they felt waves of ground tremors coming from a distance.

Among the four, Gao Lishi, who was the best in lightness kung fu, came to the front in a few leaps, only to see groups of imperial guards rushing towards him.

After hearing Gao Lishi's narration, Fan Zhen's expression changed suddenly.

"No, someone over there got there first!"

Gao Lishi's thoughts changed rapidly and he decisively ordered several people:
"General Fan, without further ado, someone from the command post will be there first, maybe the same is true at the arsenal. You and our family will go to the arsenal to help Gao Shilang. Two strong men, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Ling, you first go to the arsenal. Lay in ambush, and wait for Commander Zhang to fight against each other, then you will rush out from behind these traitors, and catch them by surprise."

There was no room for hesitation at this time, and the three of Fan Zhen reacted almost instantly.

"It's not too late, just follow Gao Diaodang's order!"

"It's a pity that Gao Diaojun was a step too slow..."

On the palace wall, seeing groups of imperial guards pouring out from the corridors in the distance, Zhang Xiu's face flashed with shock, but although he was not shocked, he whispered to his imperial guards:

"Let the brothers lie in ambush behind the palace wall, and when they hear the general's order, shoot the arrows in their hands and shoot three rounds in a row!"

"Here!"

A guard also lowered his voice and responded.

Soon, a whistling voice came from behind the palace wall, and it disappeared after a while.

The two commanders in front of the palace, Sun Bo and Fang Xin, led an elite imperial army of about [-] to the outside of Zihuan Palace. Looking at the closed palace gate in front of them, they couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling a little troublesome.

"Zhang Xiu, I met two colleagues!"

Accompanied by the sound, Zhang Xiu's figure appeared on the palace wall.

"I'm wearing armor, so I can't show respect!"

"Commander Zhang? Why is it you, General Fan?"

Seeing it was Zhang Xiu, Sun Bo and Fang Xin had a flash of surprise in their eyes and asked.

"General Fan? Two colleagues, you ask me, who should I ask?"

Facing the questioning of the two, Zhang Xiu had a look of astonishment on his face.

Beside Zhang Xiu, several of Fan Zhen's trusted generals lowered their heads deeply, fearing that they might not be able to hold it back and laugh out loud.

They didn't realize that Commander Zhang was really good at acting!

"You didn't see him?"

Sun Bo and Fang Xin were slightly stunned. Sun Bo then waved his hand and said:
"General Zhang, quickly open the gate of the palace. The two of us are ordered by Commander Huang to take over the defense of Zihuan Palace!"

Regarding his words, Zhang Xiu was noncommittal, and cupped his hands and said:

"May I ask General Sun, if there is a handwritten letter from Commander Huang or an edict from His Majesty?"

Zhang Xiu's words stopped the two of them directly.

They came in a hurry, and they did not have these two things in their hands.

Seeing that the two were at a loss for words, Zhang Xiu cupped his fists and said:
"If you don't have the two colleagues, then I will not be able to follow orders. You two should go back and forth from wherever you are."

"You!" Anger flashed in the eyes of Sun Bo and Fang Xin.

They never expected that this Zhang Xiu would be an incompetent person.

"grown ups!"

At this moment, a soldier walked up to the two of them, whispered a few words, and then pointed in one direction with his hand.

With the help of the moonlight, Zhang Xiu could see clearly on the palace wall that the position pointed by the guard was exactly where the body of the guard was just now.

The first strike is stronger, and the later strike suffers!
Seeing that the delay could not continue, Zhang Xiu made a decision in an instant, waved his hand, and gave a low drink.

"shoot!"

Accompanied by Zhang Xiu's voice, a guard soldier holding a crossbow suddenly appeared on the palace wall.

Amidst the "crunching" sound of the bow string being pulled and the crossbow arrows being wound, arrows shot out suddenly, like a dense swarm of bees, from top to bottom of the palace wall, towards the Imperial Guards and others whose expressions changed greatly.

After Huang Wenbo was promoted to the commander in front of the palace, he could command all the forbidden troops. However, although this person has good martial arts skills, he is not good at leading troops. Since he took office for more than three months, the combat power of the forbidden army has been greatly reduced.

However, Fan Zhen's headquarters is different.

He personally selected his soldiers and trained them rigorously. In terms of strength and coordination, they were far more powerful than the imperial troops led by the other two captains.

In addition, the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army was equipped with top-notch bows and crossbows, so they suddenly launched an attack. The Imperial Army under the palace wall was caught off guard and fell in large numbers in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, Zhang Xiu, how dare you cheat! When you fall into our hands, your life will be worse than death!"

Looking at the subordinates who were shot down, Sun Bo and Fang were furious in confidence. While swaying their swords to block the crossbow arrows that were shot at them as much as possible, they cursed at the same time, obviously extremely angry.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Xiu laughed loudly when he heard the words, and the sound shook the whole field.

"According to His Majesty's will, I have been entrusted by General Fan to guard the Zihuan Palace tightly and not let a single soldier enter the palace! Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! Brothers, punish the rebels, right here time, shoot me!"

As soon as this remark came out, under the palace wall, many soldiers of the Forbidden Army showed hesitation on their faces.

Those two commanders are Huang Wenbo's cronies, and they want to conspire against him, but it doesn't mean they are too...

At the same time, encouraged by Zhang Xiu's words, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, whose strength was stronger than the other two, were even more excited. They bent their bows and set up arrows. The bow and arrow are thrown down.

Under the palace wall, some people wanted to rush in, others wanted to retreat, and it was a mess for a while.

"Old Fang, please stabilize the situation. I will personally lead my bodyguards to rush forward and capture Zhang Xiu's child!"

"Okay, Old Sun, I will do as you said, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"

Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming unfavorable to their own side, the two, who knew that they had no way out at this time, quickly reached a consensus.

Commander Fang surnamed stabilized the situation, Sun Bo jumped up the palace wall with several personal guards, and attacked Zhang Xiu in unison.

"The traitor is so courageous, everyone should retreat!"

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, pulled out the bright silver gun inserted beside him, held the barrel of the gun with both hands, and shook it lightly, and suddenly, a bowl of big gun flowers came out.

"Look at the gun!"

With a low shout, the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand turned into two, two turned into four, and four turned into eight. In just a blink of an eye, everyone's eyes were filled with dots of gun light, and the sound of the tip of the gun breaking through the air was endless, like the chirping of birds.

Countless gun lights were woven into a large net in front of Zhang Xiu, and the next moment, the gun lights gathered and turned into a silver phoenix soaring.

Birds shoot at the phoenix!
In an instant, these five words suddenly appeared in the minds of everyone who saw this scene!
"what!"

Accompanied by screams, more than a dozen of Sun Bo's personal guards were killed by Zhang Xiu's gun. He was also covered in blood, and looked at Zhang Xiu with horror.

Looking at Zhang Xiu who was walking towards him with a gun, Sun Bo pulled an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth. He was about to speak, but he felt a pain in his chest. He lowered his head and saw the two-foot-long gun point piercing his chest. heart pit.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, death is not a pity!"

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, pulled out the spear stuck in the opponent's heart with his right hand, drew out the long sword with his left hand, and cut off the head of the commander surnamed Sun with one sword.

"Sun Bo is dead, do you still have to resist?"

Looking at the head that was picked up on the spear point, Fang felt a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the morale of the guards under his command plummeted, and some people even began to think about how to escape.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the rear.

Fang Xin hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see one person holding a Mo Dao and the other holding a spear, like two killer gods. They were like chopping waves, killing the entire rear army in the blink of an eye, rushing towards him.

"Wang Xiongdan, Kan Leng, you too..."

Fang Xin saw the identity of the person, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Your grandpa is loyal to His Majesty! Traitor, please die for grandpa!"

Kan Leng, who was holding the Mo Dao, was drenched in blood, laughed wildly, and rushed to Fang Xin in three or two steps, raised the ten-foot-long Mo Dao over the top of his hand, and then slammed it down!
The light of the sword flashed like snow, and Fang Xin, who raised his weapon to block, stood there dumbfounded.

"Things made of native chickens and tile dogs are vulnerable!"

Kan Leng put away his knife and snorted coldly.

The next moment, a bloodstain appeared from between Fang Xin's eyebrows, and then Fang Xin split in half with his weapon and fell to the ground.

The strong bloody smell permeated instantly.

"Brother, you also..."

Glancing at the bloody scene, Wang Xiongdan who came over immediately shook his head with a look of disgust.

Kan Leng laughed "hehe", wasn't he just trying to gain credit?
"Fang Xin is dead, and you still don't abandon your weapons and surrender. Do you want to follow in the footsteps of these two people?"

The guards rushing to the front, who were about to continue to attack the palace gate, heard the voice from behind, and looked back in surprise. The scene that caught their eyes made them feel cold hands and feet, and their morale fell directly to the bottom.

Both commanders were all dead in the blink of an eye!

Seeing that the morale below had reached freezing point, Zhang Xiu realized that the time had come, raised his hand and shook out a roll of bright yellow tissue paper, and said loudly:
"This is His Majesty's imperial decree! Your Majesty is benevolent, don't ask for threats, put down your weapons, and don't kill those who surrender!"

This imperial decree was left to Fan Zhen after Du Yu left the Zihuan Hall just now. Before Fan Zhen left, he handed over the guarding of the Zihuan Hall to Zhang Xiu, and kept the imperial edict by the way. .

"Did you hear that, His Majesty said that only the leader and the villain will be punished, and the threats will not be questioned. Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

Kan Leng shouted at the top of his voice, but he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

Grandma, how much credit he will lose this time!

For a time, the voice of "Your Majesty is kind and kind, only punishing the first evildoer, never asking for threats, laying down his weapons, and not killing those who surrender" echoed outside the Zihuan Hall.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who came here with Fang and Sun completely lost the courage to continue fighting.

Now that they heard that they would surrender and not kill, they all dared to hesitate, and threw their weapons to the ground, then knelt down on the ground with their heads in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng were the only two people standing outside Zihuan Hall.
