Chapter 80 The Rebels Are Coming

Pei Qing still feels like dreams, and even thinks it is ridiculous. He made great achievements at the beginning, but he only gave him the position of General Bi. However, he just promised the princess' marriage and had not yet gotten married. He was a general and a marquis. Even Wang Yun couldn't say anything. No wonder so many people in this world competed with dragons and phoenixes, because this means you can reach the sky in one step.

So Pei Qing became the little emperor's prospective brother-in-law in a confused manner, which made Pei Qing sigh in his heart. At the same time, he also knew the important responsibility he was carrying, because in this way, he could not slip away quietly without regard for his friendship. After all, the emperor was his brother-in-law and the affairs of the emperor's brother's family were his family affairs. If he just slipped away like this, not only would the people in the world laugh at him, but his conscience would not be able to get over it.

"Oh, I didn't want to get involved in such a thing, but in this way I could only pinch my nose and admit the fait accompli. It's all the blame for this Wannian Princess. If this girl hadn't threatened herself with the crime of hiding the imperial court, how could I be so obedient? All I got was a false reputation, but I had to fight for life and death with others for this false reputation. I really don't know how this girl's heart grew? She actually restrained me everywhere. I'm sorry, Pei Qing, and I was blinded by the geese all my life. This is like a saying passed down from later generations, who has the heaven spared?"

Pei Qing was very bitter and sighed in his heart. Although he had the reputation of righteousness in the future, he had to bear a lot of burdens for it. I really don’t know if this is right or wrong?

But at this point, Pei Qing could only take one step at a time. Anyway, no matter who it is, even if he is the emperor, it is impossible to say that the enemy is coming, and he doesn't even want to fight with them to the end. He should still escape at the critical moment. No matter who the emperor is in, no one dares to take the blame and kill the emperor directly.

Pei Mao and Lu Bu both smiled at the same time after hearing the order of the little emperor and said congratulations to Pei Qing. Pei Qing had a smile on his face, but it seemed that there were tens of thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart. The pit they jumped to today was a bit deep.

"Haha, Pei Aiqing, you must marry my sister as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to see my nephew soon." The little emperor smiled heartlessly, and then issued an order, ordering Taichangqing to calculate the good day and let Pei Qing and Princess Wannian get married as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, I could only hear the noise outside the hall, and everyone was surprised and didn't know what had happened.

So the little emperor said unhappily: "What happened outside?"

The guards on duty said, "Your Majesty, General Xu Rong asked to see the emperor. I told him that there was something wrong here, but he insisted on entering the palace, saying that there was an emergency military report."

"Oh? Military information is usually handled by Lu Aiqing. Let's do it, Lu Aiqing, you can handle it. Just tell me just after the processing is done."

This reflects the little emperor's powerlessness. Before, because of Pei Qing's official title, he had a long time to discuss with Princess Wannian before thinking about this method to force Wang Yun to submit. He didn't understand the military, and in addition, the military power was controlled by Lu Bu, so instead of causing trouble himself, it would be better to let Lu Bu have a headache.

Lu Bu bowed and agreed, walked out of the hall, and asked Xu Rong: "What happened? He was so fussy? Can't you come to me when today's incident is over?"

Xu Rong said anxiously: "I can't wait anymore. General, a big thing happened. Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled and launched more than 100,000 Xiliang troops to attack Chang'an. The enemy's vanguard had reached Zheng County, less than 200 miles from Chang'an. The opponent was all cavalry. If it was fast, it would be possible to reach the city of Chang'an in one day."

"What? These Xiliang miscellaneous people are really hit by him." Lu Bu was also shocked after hearing the news. He thought for a while and hurriedly said to Xu Rong: "You lead your troops to Xinfeng first, and I will mobilize troops to rush to help. No matter what, we cannot let the thieves break through Chang'an."

Xu Rong hesitated for a moment and then said, "General, your reinforcements should be faster. The last general has only 5,000 troops. It is estimated that it will be the limit to be able to defend for one day."

Lu Bu said to Xu Rong without any hesitation: "Don't worry, we are grasshoppers on a rope now. How could I give up talents like you? I will mobilize troops immediately. You stick to it first, and my team will arrive soon. But you also know that the other half of the tiger talisman is in Wang Yun. I don't have any problem mobilizing a few people, but as the number of people is too high, I have to discuss it with him. Fortunately, he is also in the front hall now. I believe he understands the importance of things and will never delay."

"Since that's the case, I will take the lead and wait for the good news from the general." After Xu Rong finished speaking, he clasped his fists, took Lu Bu's general order, and led the crowd out.

When Lu Bu saw Xu Rong leave, a disdainful smile flashed across his face and said lightly: "Let you Xiliang people fight against Xiliang people. It is impossible to ask my Bingzhou army to take risks for you, but I have to find a way to pull out the army of Wang Yun's old man in the city. In this way, he has no soldiers in his hands and should be respectful to me."

After saying that, Lu Bu entered the front hall again and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the big thing is wrong. Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled and led more than 100,000 people to counterattack Chang'an. Now his vanguard has arrived in Zheng County, less than 200 miles from Chang'an."

"What?" After hearing this news, everyone was shocked. In an instant, the court was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

The little emperor was no longer so calm now, but said in a panic: "Lu, Aiqing Lu, what should we do? Should we lead our troops to resist or escape directly?"

Lu Bu smiled faintly when he heard this, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be so panicked. Although there are many thieves, they are just mobs. Of course, because there are many rebels, we cannot take it lightly. I have sent Xu Rong, the troops of his troops to Xinfeng to welcome the enemy. However, Xu Rong's troops were seriously insufficient, so I hope that Wang Situ could help. The last generals knew that Huang Fuyizhen and Zhu Gongwei were both in Chang'an, so I asked Situ to send them to lead their troops to help."

"This, Wang Situ, look..."

The little emperor was very impatient, but now Wang Yun has great power, and there are two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as their wings, so they can only be patient and ask for good words.

However, Wang Yun did not agree with this and flatly refused: "Your Majesty, most of the soldiers under Huangfu Yizhen are infantry, while the Xiliang army is cavalry, and there is no chance of winning when fighting against them. As for Zhu Gongwei, the minister admits that he did come to Chang'an quietly, but his subordinates did not bring them, but stayed in Zhongmu. Even if they wanted to contribute to the country, they would not quench their thirst."

"Hehe, Wang Situ was probably wrong about this? As far as I know, Zhu Gongwei's five thousand private soldiers were stationed outside Chang'an City. Your Majesty, General Pei Yuanqing defeated Dong Yue and Niu Fu of the Western Liang Army, and relied on this army." At this time, Lu Bu did not care about his friendship with Pei Qing and directly explained the details of the army outside the city.
