Chapter 159 Three Sides 'Chu Ge'

"Dispel the people in front, block the road and run over directly!"

"Go to the city gate first with two centurions to control the city gate! No one is allowed to leave without my general's order."

"Taiwei, over there is Zhang Guiba's territory."

"No matter who's territory, whoever becomes me today, I'll kill whoever—" almost roaring the military order, Shang Rang in uniform rode on horseback, shouting at a few orderly cavalry.

There are many banners and flags, tens of thousands of horses and horses roll up countless dust and move forward at an extremely fast speed between the official roads. Two teams of one hundred people ride horses and run straight into the three gates of Jinguang, Kaiyuan and Yanping on the west side of Chang'an. The merchants pulled the shafts of their carts and hurried down to the surrounding fields to hide.

The soldiers under Jinguangmen City also saw the centurion galloping towards this direction, and the flags held high were written with the words "Qi" and "Shang". , while sending someone to notify his general.The leader stepped forward to inquire with a little vigilance.

"You are the Taiwei's soldiers and horses. If you want to enter the city, you need the Taiwei's warrant and the permission of my general. Wait a moment."

Before the soldier could finish speaking, he was knocked to the ground by a rushing horse, followed by a hundred infantry rushing into the city gate, holding up their weapons to control the responding defenders.

"We will do righteous deeds and save His Majesty in the deep palace. Don't stop me, otherwise we will miss the old friendship!"

The centurion who controlled the city gate, Naishang Rang's direct line, did not feel embarrassed about the other generals' subordinates. Seeing that he had controlled this side, he immediately drove the people to make a way, and the people around him were waiting to enter the city. The situation was not right, so they dared not stay, and retreated one after another.

Soon, Shang Rang's banner entered the range of the city tower, and Zhang Guiba, who had been ordered, came riding from the building in the city, with his two brothers behind him, watching the scene of groups of soldiers and horses entering the city, and more soldiers behind them He rushed in like a tide, and his whole body was trembling with anger. As a city guard, it would be impossible for someone to lead troops in like this, even if he was a Taiwei.

"Shang Taiwei, do you have an order from His Majesty?!"

Zhang Guiba passed the city gate with his sword in his armor. Shang Rang, who was riding on horseback, and his brothers Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guibian on both sides brought more than a thousand people to block the street. At the same time as the shield wall was erected, a spear penetrated through the gap of the shield wall and pressed down with a 'wow' to form a forest of guns.

"Zhang Guiba, I am the Taiwei, I have important matters in the city, if you want to know, follow me into the palace to have a look."

Among the Taiwei's army who also formed an formation, Shang Rang charged out on horseback, his cloak fluttering, holding a long spear, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he could swallow people alive.

"...Back then, among the old brothers of the rebel army, there were some people who were cheating and colluding with Tang Ting to welcome the young emperor of the Li family back. The Taiwei intercepted a letter and knew that the situation was out of control. Today, he will take His Majesty out of Chang'an no matter what."

Shang Rang reined in the reins, raised his gun and pointed to the front, and looked sideways at the direct descendant behind him who was waiting for death: "Shooting into the imperial city, with my general order, who dares to stop Killing Wushe!"

The entering procession blows the horn.

The cavalry queue was the first to move. Along another street, countless horses hooved. Under the galloping horses, soup, cloth, calligraphy and painting, and sugar figurines from stalls on both sides of the street were pouring and flying, falling to the ground and being surrounded by more people behind. The horseshoes were crushed.

Pedestrians and vendors screamed in all directions, spreading towards the imperial city like a tide.

Zhang Guiba arranged an array on the main street to try to block it, but was blocked by two hundred-man squads taking advantage of the terrain at the intersection of the street. Shang Rang issued an order at the same time, and groups of infantry waiting on the main street rushed towards Zhang Guiba. They rushed over and collided in an instant. How can an array of more than a thousand people be an opponent of tens of thousands of people? One hedge, less than a cup of tea, collapsed, leaving a hundred corpses under the leadership of the third general Zhang Guiba Fleeing in panic.

The moment he broke through this street, Shang Rang rode his horse and galloped into the crowd, shouting: "Prime Minister Geng Qing puts the emperor under house arrest, Duke Yuhou Zhu Wen plotted rebellion, and all the soldiers followed me into the imperial city to save His Majesty!"

Following his order, the rest of the soldiers and horses who were waiting to enter the city quickly moved forward according to the front team, divided into several torrents, passed through the streets and alleys, and approached Anfu Gate and Shunyi Gate.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded through the streets, and the people who took to the streets were already alarmed. Perhaps they were used to it, and they were agile, and quickly hid in nearby houses and shops where they could hide.

Among the scattered and fleeing figures, the cavalry surged forward, and those who were a little slow were knocked to the ground and caught under the iron hooves, leaving their bones hard to survive.

The general who was far above the imperial city tower received the news, his face turned pale with fright.

"The captain is rebellious?"

"This is going to be reversed?!"

From the suspicious tone to the hysterical roar, the general hurriedly summoned the soldiers from the rest of the city to come for reinforcements. Soon, letters and general orders were shot into the city wall. The general looked at the crowd of soldiers below, full of doubts.

Then, he still raised a hand: "Open the city gate and let the Taiwei enter the palace!"

Under the sky, countless turbulent cavalry and infantry poured into Anfumen, and went straight to Taiji Palace and Zichen Palace along the palace road. Shang Rang galloped wildly, and his voice gave orders at the same time.

"All the eunuchs and guards in Taiji Palace and Zichen Palace will not be spared and will be killed together!"

The footsteps of Haohao Tangtang's army resounded throughout the palace, and some eunuchs who came out of other palaces out of curiosity to take a look were nailed to death by arrows the next moment.

However, there was no resistance along the way, and they directly broke through the Chengtian Gate and entered the Taiji Hall. There were no eunuchs or guards here.

Shang Rang's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and mounted his horse, and led the people towards the Zichen Palace. Sure enough, the guards and eunuchs here were all gone, and the only sound in the huge palace was the sound of their hooves and footsteps.

"His Majesty!"

Shang Rang got off the horse, and rushed straight to the main hall with the soldiers and horses on the handle of the knife. Several burly guards knocked open the door of the hall. The yellow nest of the dragon robe was tied up with a rope, and he sat there with a cloth towel stuffed in his mouth and his eyes staring.

"Your Majesty!" Shang Rang yelled, rushed up the imperial steps and cut the rope with a knife, took the cloth towel from the old man's mouth, Huang Chao blushed, jumped up from the dragon chair, raised his hand and slapped Shang Rang in the face superior.

Snapped!
The slaps resounded through the hall, making King Qin's soldiers dumbfounded. Shang Rang over there also turned red, looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief, and murmured: "King Huang."

"I beat you, you idiots are only here now!!" Huang Chao shook the bead curtain on his head, ignoring the general in front of him, and gritted his teeth: "Do you know that I am under house arrest by them, you immediately lead your troops to search and arrest Geng Geng!" Qing and his family are arrested, and I will cut their flesh and blood into wine and eat them!"

Shang Rang lowered his head, clasped his fists in a low voice, and said, "Yes!"

"Pass down my will, let Meng Juehai, Ge Congzhou, Meng Kai, Gai Hong and other idiots come back immediately!"

The old man knew that they were resettling the refugees now, and they were all assigned by Geng Qing, even if it was for the good of Da Qi, but now he can't get over his anger, so how could he just let it go.

Not long after the messengers galloped out, Huang Chao and Shang Rang, who had not yet left the Zichen Palace, received another message.

Zhu Wen led his troops to attack Mingchun gate.

Almost at the same time, on the north side, a big banner with the word "Li" was hunting in the wind, and a branch of Shatuo cavalry and soldiers came winding in long dragons.

Li Cunxiao galloped his horse and stood on the hillside, grinning ferociously.

"Chang'an. A certain family is here again!"

This time it was different, behind him was the army of foster father Li Keyong also followed closely.To the west, the armies of Zheng Tian and Tuoba Sigong joined together, and the order to move out was issued.

 Tomorrow, the two updates will be resumed, and then, the explosive updates will start to be put on the shelves.
