Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1043 Captured the Emperor

Zhang Jun saw that he had been appointed as the privy envoy, and the seizure of his military power was ignored. As a general promoted by Zhao Gou, Zhang Jun did not rely on his own military strength to maintain his status. His relationship with Zhao Gou was the most important.

In two months, the wheat will arrive in Jianghan area, and there is no need to buy food in Jiangling. At that time, he collected the soldiers and returned to Xiangyang to serve as the privy envoy. It can be said to have the best of both worlds, having status without losing military power.

After grabbing a pot of tea, Zhang Jun walked out of the hospital, looking for a place to hide from his anger. Suddenly, a soldier ran in, crossed his hands and said: "Lieutenant, something bad has happened! Wang Xiaolie suddenly broke into Xiangyang, arrested the official, and went all the way to Luoyang!"

"What?" Zhang Jun was shocked on the spot and looked at the soldiers in a daze. After a while, he said: "What did you just say? Tell me!"

The soldier wiped his sweat, crossed his hands and said: "The day before yesterday, Wang Xiaolie led a large group of soldiers and suddenly arrived in Xiangyang. Without saying a word, he went in, arrested the official, and immediately went to Luoyang. The civil and military officials in Xiangyang The officer, confined to the square, didn’t know what to do.”

Zhang Jun walked forward slowly without saying a word. When I got to the chair, I sat down on the chair with a "pass" sound. After being dazed for a while, he shook his head and woke up completely. Asked the soldiers around him: "There are more than ten thousand soldiers from the front division of the palace in Xiangyang. How should they deal with it?"

The soldier said: "Wang Xiao hunted into Xiangyang. After careful planning, manpower was arranged everywhere. The army passed through various places in Xiangyang, and the garrison had no time to report. When they arrived at Fancheng, a ferry immediately took the large group of people across the river. And once After crossing the river, the arranged manpower immediately led the troops into the city, and the Dianqiansi soldiers guarding the city had no time to intervene. The guards in the city were immediately disarmed and made prisoners before they even picked up their swords and guns. Wang Xiaolie's soldiers In this way, we went straight to the palace and sealed the house. After that, arresting the officials was just a matter of convenience!"

Zhang Jun nodded: "Wang Xiaolie had already planned it, so it went so smoothly! Damn it, he deserves to die!"

The soldier said: "The Taiwei has more than 30,000 people. If they can really organize themselves, they will not be able to compete with Wang Xiao in a fight to the death!"

Zhang Jun raised his head and glanced at the soldiers. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Go down. What you just said to me, you can't say it to others!"

Watching the soldiers go out, Zhang Jun's eyes were like lightning. After a while, I slowly calmed down. He loudly called the soldiers over and said, "Send more manpower and send troops to Xiangyang to pay attention to the movements. If you have any news, report it to me!"

Several soldiers agreed, turned around and left.

Zhang Jun gently picked up the teapot and put the spout to his mouth. I forgot to pour the water into the pot again, and I froze in one movement. After a while, he said: "The door has been closed for the past two days and no one has come. We will wait until we get the news from Xiangyang Mansion before we speak."

The soldiers beside him crossed their hands and said yes.

Another chief of Jiangling is Fan Zongyin, who has just been promoted to a bachelor of Zizhengdian and is about to be transferred to Xiangyang to serve as counselor for political affairs. Because they were involved in political affairs, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui had some conflicts. Qin Hui privately agreed to wait for Zhao Ding to step down and let Fan Zongyin become prime minister, and then he felt better.

The news coming from Xiangyang, the military's listening channel, was monopolized by Zhang Jun, and Fan Zongyin knew nothing about it. I am so happy these days that I rarely even go to the government office.

After staying in the mansion for a day, Zhang Jun heard the news the next day. It turned out that Wang Ruohai took the civil and military officials from Xiangyang into custody early the next morning and went all the way to Luoyang. There were only three thousand soldiers left in Xiangyang Mansion, and there was no focus on defense.

After hearing this, Zhang Jun felt his head was as big as a bucket.

By now, Wang Xiaolie's arrangement was obvious. The first to rush into Xiangyang Mansion was Wang Xiaolie's army. After capturing Zhao Gou, he was escorted by Wang Xiaolie and went all the way to Luoyang. After Wang Xiaolie had gone for a long time, Wang Ruohai escorted a group of civil and military officials back north. If there were loyal ministers who wanted to recapture Zhao Gou, there would be no way to do so. Now, Zhao Gou is completely in Wang Xiaolie's hands. After thinking for a while, Zhang Juncai said: "Go to the Jingmen Army first and keep an eye on Xiangyang. For other matters, we'll see how we discuss it with Wang Xiaolie."

Wang Xiaolie looked at the dragon gate ahead, sighed and said: "The dragon gate ahead is about to enter Luoyang. God knows what will happen in the future."

After saying that, he rode quickly. In the afternoon, we arrived in Luoyang City.

Chen Qiudao, Chen Yuyi, Ma Kuo, Wang Yan and others welcomed Wang Xiaolie and returned to Xuanfu Division.

Chen Qiudao and others looked at Wang Xiaolie eagerly and asked, "Xuanfu arrested the official family - is he back yet?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "I'm back. To be honest, it's not difficult to really catch the Holy Emperor back. What's really difficult is to make up his mind, which is what happens later. This is the emperor, not other people. . Throwing aside the identity of the emperor, you can say that you can take whatever you want, and do whatever you want. But as long as you think that Zhao Gou is the emperor, there are countless things. These countless things are what really make things difficult for us."

Ma Kuo said: "No matter how difficult it is, Zhao Gou is always in our hands!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, he is in our hands and he should listen to us! Let's eat first and discuss how to deal with Zhao Gou! After that, we have to meet the emperor no matter what!"

The soldiers brought the food, and Wang Xiaolie let go of his belly and ate the food. On one side, Chen Qiudao and others were sitting, talking excitedly about Zhao Gou and how to deal with him in the future. Some people said to kill him, others said to find a place to lock him up, and so on.

After finishing the meal, Wang Xiaolie ordered it to be taken down. Slowly wiping his hands with a towel, he said: "First of all, Zhao Gou cannot be killed immediately. I need to say it again, Zhao Gou is the emperor, and the emperor cannot take it lightly. He is not just a person, As an emperor, there are many procedures. We can't let people laugh at us if we can't put together this procedure or that procedure when the time comes."

Chen Qiudao bowed and said: "What Xuan Fu said makes sense, let's save his life first!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "In my opinion, we need to prepare for what happens next. First, take out a minister and concentrate on understanding what etiquette the emperor must go through if he arrests the emperor. I simply explained that after arresting the emperor, , there is only one way left, I will be the emperor."

After speaking, Wang Xiaolie glanced at everyone. Chen Qiudao, Chen Yuyi, Ma Kuo, Wang Yan and others all had excitement on their faces and were not afraid.

In the past two years, Zhao Gou's thoughts have been focused on the imperial court in the south, and he has neglected Wang Xiaolie's side. After fighting a big battle, no matter how big the victory is, it is just a flimsy imperial edict, and there is no bigger reward. Faced with this, the ministers were already dissatisfied.

Now that the emperor has been captured, everyone has thought about it countless times and is extremely excited.
