Chapter 1217

Only after seeing the dangers of the Taihang Baxing did we know what it means to be "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it". Even though the soldiers have experienced many battles and regard death as home, they still inevitably feel scalp numbness.If the road is blocked by the officers and soldiers, then there is no way to advance or retreat, only a dead end...

Wang Xian was also very cautious and asked the soldiers to rest in place for the time being, while he stood on the cliff path and looked at the bottom of the cliff quietly. In fact, he couldn't see anything in the dark, he could only hear the rushing roar of the Tang River the sound of.

Xu Huaiqing, Mo Wen, Wu Wei and others stood far away, not disturbing Wang Xian's meditation.Ever since he decided to raise troops in the grassland, Wang Xian's heart has been very heavy, and he is often in a daze like this.They all know how heavy the burden is on the father-in-law's shoulders. This is an enemy of the whole world!One wrong move will lead everyone into a bottomless abyss, beyond redemption.

These days, Wang Xian often thinks of Zhu Di, and feels sympathy for that great tyrant who regards him as his life and death enemy.In the past, Wang Xian always felt that Zhu Di raised his army because he was ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to his nephew. Presumably, people in the world think of him in the same way now, right?
But when he also embarked on the same path, he truly realized Zhu Di's helplessness back then. Either let him be slaughtered, or stand up and resist. The emperor didn't give you any other choice at all.Wang Xian asked himself that he was loyal to Daming, but he really couldn't do that if the king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, how could he ask Zhu Di to be slaughtered by Emperor Jianwen?
Thinking of this, Wang Xian couldn't help laughing at himself, and said to himself, "It seems that self-forgiveness is really a human instinct. In order to feel at ease, I actually introduced Zhu Di as a fellow..." I don't know that Emperor Yongle who hated him to the bone , will you feel some comfort.But thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible, because what I want to create is the rebellion of his descendants...

In the vast Taihang, facing the rushing river under the cliff, Wang Xian's thoughts were flying wildly. He thought of his sister in Beijing, his wife, children and parents in Shandong, and Xu Miaojin in Nanjing. His behavior did not know how it would affect them. How much panic and worry came, and even put them in danger of dying at any time...

However, it's a done deal, I can only move on, I just hope to see the other side as soon as possible, so that they can get rid of this damn fear as soon as possible...

While contemplating, the guards in the distance brought a few men in black and reported to Wang Xian: "My lord, they are here."

Hearing the sound, Wang Xian took his attention and looked at those men. The two leaders were his subordinate Zhang Wuge, and the other was a burly middle-aged man with a curly beard. It turned out to be Liu Zijin, who rebelled in Guangling County many years ago. !

Wang Xian nodded slightly to Fifth Brother Zhang, then kept his eyes on Liu Zijin, and said with a grateful smile: "Brother Liu can put aside the past and help, I am very grateful."

Back then, under the banner of the White Lotus Sect, Liu Zijin rebelled openly in Guangling County in the Taihang Mountains. In a blink of an eye, his followers grew to nearly [-], which turned Shanxi upside down and the court had no way to do anything.Fortunately, Wei Wuque intended to occupy the magpie's nest and wanted to attack Liu Zijin.With the help of Gu Xiaolian, Wang Xian caught Liu Zijin and finally persuaded Liu Zijin to agree to cooperate with the court by using the seriously injured Zhang Wuge to kill the unpopular Wei Wei. Wu Que and Song Zhong put down the rebellion.

After the war, in order to fulfill the previous promise and appease the hearts of the Bailian believers, Wang Xianli replaced Tao Zong, replaced Liu Zijin with Song Zhong, and sent him to Ling Chi in the capital for execution.But the real Liu Zijin rejected Wang Xian's arrangement to let him go to Hetao, and disappeared into the vast Taihang Mountains.

In the following years, Wang Xian occasionally learned about Liu Zijin from Zhang Wu.I heard that he turned into a bandit again, and led those believers who were unwilling to leave their hometowns to Hetao to make a living in the Taihang Mountains by robbing the rich and helping the poor.However, there are too many bandits in the world. As long as they don't go too far and don't raise the flag to rebel, Wang Xian naturally won't meddle in other people's business...

When Wang Xian decided to rebel, he immediately thought that Liu Zijin, a local snake, might come in handy.So I asked Brother Zhang to go to Taihang Mountain first to see if he could seek some help.Even if Liu Zijin refused to help, with Zhang Wuge's own reputation in Taihang Mountain, he could find some people to help find out the truth.

.

Contrary to Wang Xian's enthusiasm, Liu Zijin was very indifferent, and said expressionlessly: "You don't need to thank me, if it weren't for the old five who stalked me, I wouldn't bother with you dogs biting dogs!"

Wang Xian smiled nonchalantly, and Brother Zhang Wu hurriedly explained with a smile: "Grandpa, my eldest brother brought more than 4000 brothers to help, not just for the sake of his subordinates."

"Brother Liu is still righteous!" Wang Xian was overjoyed when he heard this.Unexpectedly, Liu Zijin brought so many people. "Unexpectedly, Brother Liu has so many brothers under his command."

"That's right, my elder brother is now the chief executive officer of Taihang Baxing, and there are many brothers who change posts at Zijingguan," Zhang Wu said with a smile: "With his help, Zijingguan will not be difficult to win."

"Oh," Wang Xian was even more pleasantly surprised: "That's really great!" He said, looking at Liu Zijin very wisely, and said, "Brother Liu, if you have any requests, just ask, I can't ask you for help."

"Let's talk about it when you become the emperor. It's useless to say anything now." Liu Zijin said with a weary expression, "Let's go, it will be dawn later." Obviously, he was very confident in conquering the Bauhinia Pass, but I have no confidence in the success of Wang Xianneng's rebellion.

"Thank you Brother Liu for leading the way." Wang Xian nodded and stopped talking nonsense.

Therefore, Liu Zijin and Zhang Wu led the way ahead, and a group of Jinyiwei masters followed closely just in case.After that, there were Wang Xian and his [-] cavalry. It was as dark as ink, and they didn't dare to light torches. No one dared to ride on this kind of road.All the officers and soldiers led their horses and walked cautiously on the cliff path less than three feet away.

Be careful, be careful, and horses still stumble and fall from time to time, and even officers and soldiers are caught off guard, and they are also thrown off the cliff.

The soldiers were unable to rescue their comrades who had fallen off the cliff, so they could only endure their grief and continue marching, while reminding each other not to be careless.

After walking on this extremely steep trail in the middle of the night, the front suddenly stopped, and the soldiers suddenly looked up, only then did they see a magnificent pass city standing between the two peaks facing each other, blocking the main throat to enter the pass.The tall city perched on the Xiongling Ridge looks extremely majestic in the dark night, like a divine beast guarding the gate of heaven, awe-inspiring and inviolable!
Liu Zijin's men had already ambushed on the Bauhinia Ridge outside the pass. Seeing his boss coming to meet the army, the second boss hurried over to report: "It's broken, boss, there's something wrong with Ma Laoliu!"

"What? What did he do?!" Liu Zijin's face darkened immediately. Don't look at whether he was humble or overbearing in front of Wang Xian, and even ignored his answers, but it was just his pride at work.In fact, he was willing to take thousands of brothers through this muddy water, naturally he made up his mind to hang out with Wang Xian, so that he and his brothers could be cleared in the future.If it's done well, maybe you can get a Jing Nan hero.

And this Bauhinia Pass was the certificate he dedicated to Wang Xian, and Ma Lu, the deputy commander who happened to be guarding the pass, was his brother who exchanged posts, so he made an appointment to ask him to try to be on duty tonight, open the city gate, and let them in.

In Liu Zijin's view, there is no need to bow down to Wang Xian for such a great contribution, and he is equally grateful to himself.

According to the agreement, it was time for Ma Laoliu to open the city gate, but something went wrong!
"Just now, he secretly dropped a letter, saying that the commander who guards the gate will go to the tower to be on duty tonight, and he can't find a chance to open the city gate." The second master said, and handed a ball of paper to Liu Zijin.

"Hey, I hope that the broken shoes will hurt my feet!" Liu Zijin returned to Wang Xian with a paper ball in frustration, and said, "My lord, something went wrong. The Bauhinia can't close the door. Let's go to the north side of the Juma River." Xiao Jincheng, I also have brothers there."

Having said that, he knew that he was in big trouble now. It was almost dawn when the army had to cross the Juma River and rush to Xiaojincheng. The sun was already high, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack If someone helped, Wang Xian's subordinates would suffer heavy casualties.

"Little Jincheng..." Wang Xian took the ball of paper and looked at it, then smiled slightly and said, "It's too late, let's do it here."

"My lord, the city wall is several feet high, and there are guards all over the top of the city. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't attack by force!" Liu Zijin messed up the matter, and his attitude became humble.

"Hehe, just look at it." Wang Xian said and waved his hands, Xu Huaiqing led thousands of soldiers, and quietly touched outside the gate of Guancheng.Then, Xu Huaiqing took out a clapper and knocked it a few times.

In the quiet dawn, the sound of the clapper was so clear that the defenders on the top of the city heard it, and they all looked down the city.Although Xu Huaiqing's men leaned over in the darkness, they were not in danger of being seen, but they undoubtedly aroused the vigilance of the defenders.

Liu Zijin's people were all terrified, thinking that this motherfucker is looking for death?Liu Zijin also wanted to go up to question anxiously, but Zhang Wuge stopped him and said, "Brother, don't be impatient, General Xu must have his regulations."

"What rules?!" Liu Zijin snorted disdainfully, but before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of Zhaza's iron rope sliding.Liu Zijin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the suspension bridge hanging high above the city of Zijingguan, slowly falling down!
"What's the situation? This is it!" Liu Zijin and his subordinates were shocked. They couldn't figure out why Ma Laoliu didn't dare to open the door for him.As soon as he heard the sound of the clapper, he immediately opened the city gate as if possessed by an evil spirit.

Could it be that the clapper can capture people's hearts and minds, but can't drive people into action?
Under the shocked gazes of Liu Zijin and others, the city gate crashed down, and Xu Huaiqing immediately jumped up and led the crowd into the Bauhinia Pass!
