Chapter 159 Everyone chooses different

Li Xin did not stay in Weiyang Palace for too long. After he received the sealed imperial edict at the Shangshu Deck, he left Weiyang Palace and walked towards Yong'anmen Gate.

Because it is not the time to show off your power, and the capital is still full of war. Although the Hanzhou army occupied the imperial city, the Ningzhou army is still fighting with the defenders in the capital. The most urgent task now is to quell the battle first, then take control of the regime, and then obtain the military power of the imperial guards.

Only by obtaining the military power of the imperial guards can the war be considered to be really over. Otherwise, Li Xin could only say that he had entered the capital instead of conquering the capital.

Outside the palace, Mu Ying had been waiting for a long time. Li Xin held two imperial edicts in his hand, throwing one to Mu Ying and the other in his hand.

"I've got the things. Brother Mu, go to the right camp of the imperial guards, and I'll go to the left camp of the imperial guards."

"At this moment, Zhong Xuantong should be putting pressure on the two battalions of imperial guards. He must be ahead of him and take over the imperial guards of the two battalions of imperial guards with the imperial guards. Otherwise, not only will the life of Congratulations to the Hou Jingde of Cong, but the military power of Zhong Xuantong is really taken over, this old man may not even recognize the imperial guards!"

Although He Song and Hou Jingde controlled the two battalions of imperial guards, it did not mean that the two battalions of imperial guards would follow them to rebel. They just used the "imperial order" to temporarily control the two battalions of imperial guards.

If Zhong Xuantong was decisive enough to go to the two battalions of imperial guards to kill Hou Jingde and He Sheng, he was the imperial guard general named by the imperial guards, and he could really take over the military power of the imperial guards.

The Zhong family is different from all the civil and military officials. Their family and the Ji family share weal and woe. It is impossible to watch the Jin Dynasty fall into the hands of outsiders. Zhong Xuantong may even have to deal with the Southwest Army regardless of the lives of the emperor in the imperial city.

At worst, the Zhong family will find another emperor with the surname Ji.

Mu Ying nodded immediately: "I will understand!"

The two left most of the Hanzhou army stationed in the imperial city. Before leaving, Mu Ying issued a death order, not allowing the Hanzhou army to disturb anyone in the imperial city, otherwise they would be punished on the spot.

This order will somewhat arouse some dissatisfaction from the Hanzhou army. After all, everyone has worked hard to fight for so long and finally entered the imperial city. Not to mention burning, killing and looting in the imperial city, at least a few palace maids can be robbed home as daughters-in-laws. There is no reason why after entering the emperor's house, they will still have to be guards for them.

However, Mu Ying had a great prestige in the Hanzhou Army, and he always said it to his word. The Hanzhou Army did not dare to have any opinions, so he could only bow his head and take the order.

In this way, after the Hanzhou army controlled the many gates of the imperial city, Li Xin and Mu Ying each brought about a thousand people, each with an imperial edict. Li Xin went straight to the base of the left camp of the Imperial Army, while Mu Ying went to the right camp of the Imperial Army where He Songruo was.

These two battalions were originally stationed outside the city. After the two battalions of imperial guards entered the city, in order to prevent the Southwest Army from attacking from the other gates, the two battalions of imperial guards were quite scattered. The left camp of imperial guards was in the west of the city and defended the west of the city nearby, while the right camp of imperial guards was in the south of the city, guarding against the unexpected attack of the Southwest Army.

In other words, Zhong Xuantong is probably in the left camp of the imperial guards west of the city.

At this moment, it was already dawn and the two battalions of imperial guards remained unmoved. However, the Ankang Army and the Hanzhong Army were still fighting with the Ningzhou Army. The Ningzhou Army had firearms and a large number of people. At this moment, they were already at the upper hand.

However, the two battalions of imperial guards who remained unmoved should have more than 150,000 troops at this time. Once they joined the war, the Ningzhou army, whose firearms battalion, would soon be unable to hold on and be defeated.

Under the escort of a thousand Hanzhou troops, Li Xin broke into the big tent of the Imperial Guard Zuo Camp in the chaos. At this moment, the Imperial Guard Zuo Camp had been surrounded by soldiers from the Left Camp and no one was allowed to enter or exit. However, some soldiers who were not in and out of the big tent could be seen near the big tent.

It is obvious that Zhong Xuantong has probably entered the Zuoying camp of the Imperial Army at this moment.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

At this time, he had no way of grasping what was going on in the left camp of the Imperial Guard. If Hou Jingde was still there, then he could go in and announce the imperial edict. However, if Zhong Xuantong had already controlled the situation, he would just die when he went in.

But after delaying for a while, Hou Jingde might die at the hands of Zhong Xuantong. This former boss helped Li Xin a lot, and this time it played a key role. Li Xin could not sit idly by.

He was silent for a while and ordered to the people around him: "Go and call Zhao Yi."

At this time, the most suitable candidate should be Li Xin's brother-in-law Zhao Fang, but Zhao Fang is not in the capital now, but in the Jiangnan area. The only one who can be used and trustworthy is this adopted son.

Zhao Yi is now in the Ningzhou army. Not long after, he arrived in front of Li Xin. He clasped his fists deeply at Li Xin and said respectfully: "Yi..."

After saying one word, Zhao Yi felt it was a bit inappropriate. After all, he was in the military formation at this time, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Have you seen the general!"

Li Xin handed the imperial edict to him, pointed at the Zuoying tent ahead, and said in a deep voice: "You go in and announce the imperial edict from the imperial court."

"The speed is fast, if it is later, the old general Hou may be worried about his life!"

Zhao Yi quickly took the imperial edict. He was brave and unambiguous. He immediately took the imperial edict and walked towards the Zuoying tent.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the tent, he was stopped by the imperial guards from the Zuoying camp. Zhao Yi held the imperial edict and shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived, the imperial edict has arrived!"

"The Zuoying Imperial Army will not be able to rebel!"

The young man held the imperial edict and looked fearless. The people from Zuoying did not dare to stop him and just put him in.

At this time, the tent of the Imperial Guard's Left Camp was tense.

Hou Jingde was protected by more than a dozen personal guards. General Tian, ​​wearing green armor, held a long sword in his hand, and looked coldly at Hou Jingde who was protected by more than a dozen people.

"A traitor who does not distinguish right from wrong!"

Zhong Xuantong yelled and scolded.

At this time, the left camp of the Imperial Army had about four Zhechong Mansions, but there were six Zhechong Commanders in the tent. Only two of these Zhechong Commanders stood on Hou Jingde's side, and the other three stood on Zhong Xuantong's side, and one took a few steps back, lowered his head and said nothing, and stood on either side.

Facing Zhong Xuantong's scolding, Hou Jingde did not respond, but looked at the sharp sword in Zhong Xuantong's hand with lingering fear.

Just now, the old man entered the imperial guards' tent in a friendly manner. As soon as he met, he drew his sword and almost killed him with one sword.

If Hou Jingde hadn't lost much of his skills over the years, he might have lost his life now!

Zhong Xuantong looked at the two Zhe Chong Commanders behind Hou Jingde and cursed angrily: "Are you the imperial guards of the Great Jin Dynasty or his imperial guards?"

"This guy colluded with the Southwest rebels, which has caused the Southwest rebels to attack the capital. Do you want to be implicated in the nine tribes with him?"

The two Zhe Chong Commander standing behind Hou Jingde were all his confidants whom he promoted. In the face of the old general Zhong’s question, the two took a deep breath, lowered their heads and said nothing.

After calming down, Hou Jingde looked up at Zhong Xuantong and bowed slightly, "Elder General, Hou has always respected the Zong family very much. Today's things have come to this point, but you and I have different choices, so there is no need to say much to the old general."

"You and I will wait for news."

Hou Jingde slowly breathed, his voice low: "Look at whether we were implicated in the Nine Clans, or whether the Renchen Palace Reform Reappeared back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice from a young man came from outside the tent.
