Chapter 370 Change is always unpredictable
As summer approaches, the sun shines brightly on the mountains, and the lush and lush official roads are quiet, and suddenly splashes away in the air and dances densely.
The vendors passing by, pedestrians from all over the mountains and mountains retreated to the road and bowed their heads. A team of flags was spreading, with the sound of cars, horses, and people's footsteps being noisy.
Kaifeng goes from east to west to Luoyang about 380 miles, and it will take several days to ride a fast horse and whip it. If such a slowly moving army can arrive in ten days.
Among the vast team, five thousand Crane Control Army was fully equipped with armor, one thousand horses in front, four thousand infantry behind, and the five hundred guards in the middle of the largest chariot.
The personal general named Huangfu Lin rode a horse and pressed his sword, watching the surrounding wind and movements. Occasionally, he listened to the reports of the scouts, waved his hand and sent him away, then approached the carriage, and whispered words along the way.
In the opened curtain of the car, Zhu Youzhen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was enjoying the forced recruitment of a folk woman to grasp her legs. He leaned against the window frame and watched the fields along the way pass by. In the countryside, farmers and vendors bowed their heads and gradually fell to the back.
His face was blowing with a breeze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When he was not an emperor, he also liked to wander around like this. He felt comfortable watching those mud legs and the lowly merchants saluted him.
This is a tabletop that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
Especially the beautiful woman in the car was holding his legs. Unlike the concubines in the palace, who only knew how to cater to please and make people tasteless for a long time. He liked that the other party could not let go and resisted slightly, which was a feeling of conquest.
"Come here, ride to my lower body, don't take off your skirt, just uncover it."
Hearing the emperor's words, the woman's face turned slightly red, her eyes were a little wet, and she wanted to cry and crawled towards the body of the emperor who had been half lying down.
Huangfu Lin, who was accompanying the carriage, looked at the curtain he put down and sighed. It was not because he couldn't see the spring light inside, but because he felt that the emperor had been playing like this, and he had finally passed.
Unfortunately, he was promoted by Zhu Youzhen himself, and he chose not to see any extraordinary things about the emperor.
Just as the carriage was swaying slightly, Huangfu Lin turned his gaze forward, observing the movements around him, or giving orders to adjust the marching team, a fast horse ran from the front from afar.
The scout on the horse was quite embarrassed, and an arrow was obviously inserted on his left shoulder. Before he could reach him, Huangfu Lin's heart skipped a beat. Such a picture must have encountered an attack.
"What's going on?" He asked the scout, then shouted at the surroundings: "Stop, the team stop--"
A loud roar spread, and the cavalry held a small flag and waved it to convey the order. The scout who was stumbled and dismounted was supported by his comrades, and he was half kneeling to report.
"Report to the military envoy, someone attacked him in front of him, and several brothers fell..."
"Who is the army?"
"Yong...King Yong...number...no less than 30,000!"
Huangfu Lin's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled out his sword from his waist and sent orders to the entire team to the commander. The front army turned into the back team and immediately turned back to Kaifeng.
"It's only been half a day since we left the city, so it should be too late to return to the city!"
In an instant, the stopped team was a little confused, but it quickly changed the formation. The spacious imperial chariot turned around and became quite troublesome. Zhu Youzhen, who felt the change, lifted the curtain and pushed the blushed woman down from him, tidied up the loose collar and looked at Huangfu Lin with a serious expression.
"What happened, why did you suddenly turn around?"
"Your Majesty, King Yong has rebelled... Our scout was attacked."
Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale, and she almost lay on the car window, waved her hands and urged her to turn around quickly. As for what she had not finished her love, she had already stopped talking at this time, and her legs were shaking slightly under her robe.
‘Geng Qing...Geng Qing...How could it appear at this time...I went to Luoyang to worship the sky...’
In the rapid and chaotic thoughts, I suddenly remembered someone.
‘Jingxiang? This guy...rebel against me...he dares to rebel against me...'
‘When I return to Kaifeng, I will kill him all over the family!’
The woman, who had no idea what happened, hugged her dress and hid in the corner, shivering. Just looking at the change in the face of the emperor there, she probably knew that something bad would happen. However, before she could ask, Zhu Youzhen from there had already looked over, grabbed her hair, dragged the woman to the curtain, kicked her outside, and asked the coachman to throw the person down.
"Take her outside to me and speed up the train and rush back to Kaifeng!"
The woman screamed and was knocked down by the coachman and rolled to the side of the road. The imperial chariot was guarded and accelerated. The emperor in the carriage was also quickly tidied up his clothes and kept issuing orders to Huangfu Lin outside, asking the fast horse to go to Kaifeng Northwest Camp Dai Siyuan, He Gui, and Xie Yanzhang, the Southwest Camp, to reject the enemy.
"Hold my instructions, let Zhang Quanyi from Luoyang hold up Yong Bing and Liu Xiu from Kaifeng, immediately welcome me and protect me back to the palace!"
A series of commands were issued quickly, and the cavalry rushed towards all directions. However, even as the speed was accelerated and various commands were issued, the entire team was still moving slowly.
An hour later, Huangfu Lin received the message from behind, and his face changed again. He rode his horse to a hillside not far away and looked back. In his vision, countless dust and smoke rushed into the sky at the end of his eyes, rolling in the sun.
From the army, everyone understands that this is the movement of a large number of cavalry running.
Sure enough, as soon as he got off the slope, he obviously felt the rumbling vibration from the ground. Zhu Youzhen in the car naturally felt this change. He was so scared that he hurried out of the carriage, abandoned the carriage, and rushed forward with his horse's neck in his arms.
"Huangfu Lin, protect me and leave! Hurry up..."
If he was still riding a carriage at this time, he would be playing with his life. The emperor rode a horse through the crane-controlled infantry walking in front. The thousand crane-controlled cavalry behind also began to rush around the infantry on both sides of the road. At the back, the crane-controlled infantry and the guards took their pace one by one, covered their iron helmets, dragged their flags and ran wildly, and the entire formation became chaotic.
"Break the rear! Cut the rear, the Crane Control Army, form a formation with me!"
There were generals and schools roaring in the team, but there were only more than two thousand people left, and the other half were too far apart, and the chaos caused by running wildly was hard to hear, so they followed the emperor away.
However, the people who stayed there were hasty formations and felt the movements of the enemy cavalry that had been several miles away. They were uneasy and panic. Soon after, the fleeing soldiers and the emperor had disappeared behind, and what they were facing was the official road, and the iron cavalry on the field were rising and falling like a torrent, rushing towards them.
In the blink of an eye, it was the power of the torrent rushing through the embankment. With the rumbling slap, the two thousand people formed a formation were instantly submerged under this surging "iron wave", or were driven to flee in the wilderness.
The team that went to Kaifeng was able to see the outline of the capital. The few quick riders who had called the gate first entered the area of the city wall, and the people shot by arrows were overturned, leaving only two people fled back in a panic.
Hearing that the city gate was closed and Zhu Youzhen was not allowed to return to the city, Huangfu Lin had to send an order, turn in other directions, find a dangerous position, and drag it to several military camps to rescue.
"Liu Xiu... This guy is against Jing Xiang!"
"I'm really blind-"
Zhu Youzhen was protected by his personal guards, and he was stationed on a hillside twenty miles away from Kaifeng with more than 2,500 people. He was standing on a hillside with his back against the forest, which could effectively prevent attacks from behind. As long as he guarded the hillside, it would probably be delayed for a period of time.
"Have my handwriting sent to the battalions?"
After getting off the horse's back, Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the pain that made him scratch. He leaned on the sword and asked Huangfu Lin again. The sudden change made him look like he was dreaming. Yong's army left Tongguan and passed Luoyang, and no news came at all.
"Unless... Zhang Quanyi also rebelled."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Zhang Quanyi was also a friend of Ge Congzhou and others back then... and he was also familiar with Geng Qing..."
When he was whispering with his lips, Huangfu Lin also comforted him and said, "Your Majesty is relieved, and each camp should be on the way to come." A scout at the foot of the mountain rode up.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the cavalry of Xie Yanzhang from Beiying arrived!"
"Haha...my humerus is here!" Zhu Youzhen's face was swept away in fear, and she immediately smiled excitedly. She held her sword and walked quickly to the edge of the hillside. The Liang cavalry stepped on countless smoke and dust and came from the southern suburbs of Kaifeng. In contrast, the Yong army cavalry from the west direction of Luoyang. In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, the two armies stopped half a mile away.
But it is not far from the hillside.
"Encourt Xie, quickly defeat this rebels-"
Huangfu Lin shouted down the slope, but there was no answer. Instead, the confrontation of Liang cavalry gradually dispersed towards the hillside, and the Yong cavalry on the other side actually dispersed their formation tacitly, and the two sides formed a force of uniting the mountain.
There were 2,500 people controlling cranes on the slope, Huangfu Lin and Zhu Youzhen's face were suddenly covered with blood.
"this....."
The words that were excited to shout stopped at the throat, Zhu Youzhen's body shook slightly, and it was difficult to accept such changes. Just when he was about to despair, a soldier and horse rushed towards the end of the world like a black line.
The flying flags are written with the words "liang" and "he".
"It's the He Jun Envoy of Beiying..."
At the same time, an army spread rapidly in the northwest. Seeing the two flying flags of "Dai" and "He", Zhu Youzhen's ugly face finally calmed down. Bathed in the bright sunshine, people stood up their flag, walked under the flag and raised their chests slightly, with a majestic and loud tone.
He waved his hand heroically.
