Chapter 390 Still have time?

[Send tomorrow's update in advance]

Yan Yun's soldiers and horses were attacking the fleet that left the shore hastily.

Most of the rebel ships were chased and killed by the king's army before they could unload.

And the rebels who could escape to the big river were even more rare.

Encountered tens of thousands of cavalry on the plain, there is no worse infantry than this.

In the end, no more than thirty rebel ships could leave the shore, and no more than a thousand rebels escaped across the river.

The kings who lost first and then won were extremely excited, especially those who had been captured by the rebels.

They will not stop at all unless they kill one or two rebels.

The secret killing of prisoners is performed silently everywhere.

The killing and siege of the rebels by the king's army continued until midnight.

On the other hand, the armored cavalry of Yunshang County gathered their soldiers and horses early, and set up a stronghold on a mountain bag, keeping only two thousand armored cavalry teams on standby at any time.It's a pity that the prince Yang Shangmo seemed to have forgotten the cavalry that saved him and Dazheng in an instant. The prince never sent any envoys or messengers to Zhang Zhe since he stood still.

Until midnight, Yan Yun, dressed in white, came to visit in person.

"Beijing Express," although Yan Yun sat on top of Zhang Zhe, his tone was far from the teasing and joking that he had in Wuling back then. Zhang Zhe had reached this position in a few years, and his official position might be lower than Yan Yun's. But in terms of strength, he has become Da Zheng's number one strong prefect, so Yan Yun talked to him in a probing tone, "Your Majesty received the previous battle report today, thinking that the prince's battle was over, so he didn't bring it up in one breath. It has already collapsed. The crown prince has to rush to Chang'an overnight, and before leaving, send someone to chat with Xinzhi."

"Your Majesty has collapsed?" Zhang Zhe was shocked suddenly. This news is extremely fatal to the current Wang Jun.

The ancients were superstitious, especially the destiny.

Today's battle can be described as a complete victory.

Captured more than 2000 rebels, killed [-], scattered [-] to [-], and only [-] escaped the river.

But the emperor suddenly died on his side, and the effect of the big victory was weakened by at least [-]%.

"This is His Majesty's own destiny," Yan Yun looked at Zhang Zhe indifferently, "I and my servants only need to assist the new emperor and continue to flatten Hebei."

"Duke Yan means that the army will not be suspended for the national funeral?"

"The prohibition of military warfare in national mourning always refers to outside the territory," Yan Yun smiled. "The country is uneasy, the government and the public are not peaceful, and the tombs of the two former emperors are naturally not safe, so the prince has clearly stated to me before leaving, immediately send troops to the north. This visit was also ordered by the crown prince, please trust me to alienate the family of Zhaoyang county king from now on. After the crown prince ascends the throne, the merits of this battle should be led by Xin Zhi, and you will be named first-class marquis, Kui Hou. What is the meaning of Xin Zhi?"

Zhang Zhe shook his head without hesitation, he said with a smile.

"The prince's kindness is deeply felt by the ministers. But the meaning of a certain person is not in the glory of fame but against my will. Just wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, Langqing, Hebei, so I will ask for a kind decree to resign from this brocade robe and return to Wuling pillow Washing books and pens, swimming and sleeping in the wild, seeking happiness for the rest of my life.”

"If Gu's marriage contract with Zhaoyang is concerned, the crown prince will also take responsibility for it."

But Zhang Zhe just shook his head with a smile.

On the second day, Yan Yun, who had the title of minister of the Ministry of War, became the commander-in-chief of various armies and horses.

But no one thought that Yan Yun could mobilize the tens of thousands of cavalry in Yunshang County.

Fortunately, Yan Yun was Zhang Zhe's benefactor, so it is the best and most suitable for him to coordinate the various troops and horses.

Zhang Zhe was not going to continue marching into Hebei, because the prince, who was about to ascend the throne as the new emperor, had clearly expressed his distrust of him.The prince asked him to isolate Yang Shangyang's family, seal him as the chief marquis, and so on, all of which were used to dispel Zhang Zhe's doubts.

The prince willingly risked infamy, and during the national mourning period, he did not stop his troops for a day and asked them to go to Hebei for several days. It was also the cavalry of the prince Yang Shangmo who was too scruples about Zhang Zhe.

With the armored cavalry staying around the capital, Yang Shangmo could not ascend the throne with peace of mind.

"Second brother should listen to the new king." Yang Shangyang and Zhang Zhe just let go after hugging each other tightly, but the first sentence was to complain about Zhang Zhe, "Now that the new king is in power, the situation of the elder brother may be even more difficult."

"It's great that I don't want to be an official anymore," Zhang Zhe took Yang Shangyang to walk around in his camp, "Actually, I found a good escape route for my brother in the Western Regions, let me tell you quietly."

"There is still such a good place?" Yang Shangyang's eyes suddenly lit up, "I just wish I could take my father and king and go west with my second brother immediately, so as to avoid these intrigues."

"Little brother, you must remember to keep it secret!"

"Don't worry, second brother, this is our way out, and I'm not stupid."

While the two were talking, a knight sent by Yan Yun was led to them.

"Reporting to your son and Zhang Taishou, Lord Yan sent a villain to spread the word. The army searched today and captured the thief king Yang Zongji and a group of thief generals. Only Gan Fuzao, the mastermind next to the thief king, managed to escape across the river yesterday."

"This is good news." Hearing that Yang Zongji was arrested, Zhang Zhe felt a little relieved, and his desire to lead the team away became stronger again.

Chang'an City was once again completely deserted.

Wall coverings, clothes, banners, tassels, and hats were all changed to white overnight.

The body of Emperor Longde was buried in Longhua Hall.

In the Longhua Hall, two groups of people were confronting each other in front of the Longde Emperor's spirit.

"Your Majesty is gone, the prince is in trouble, the country cannot be without a king for a day, you should immediately ask King Ji to be the emperor!"

"This statement is very true. A country without a king for a day seems to have no bones for the three armies, and no heart for the six parties. This discussion should be decided early!"

Another wave of people, headed by chief assistant Liu Jiansheng, just sat in front of the coffin and did not participate.

The number of officials persuading King Ji to enter has grown from a dozen yesterday to a hundred or so after one night.The entire Longhua Palace was disturbed by these people.

"What is the intention of the first assistant? How dare you not establish an emperor, do you want to private the country!?"

An old minister angrily poked his finger on Shoufu's face, but Liu Jiansheng remained expressionless.

"If you don't get the real news of the prince for a day, you can't take the matter of establishing a monarch lightly! If anyone dares to be rude in front of the late emperor, don't blame..."

"Report~~~!" A dusty imperial guard rushed over, "The prince has won a great victory, and he has entered Wu'anmen with Qingqi [-]!"

Ji Wang Yang Shangchuan immediately changed his color, pointed at the guard and scolded him.

"Obviously a big defeat, how did you win the battle? Besides, the emperor is already screaming, the country is supreme, and the hearts of the people are so corrupt!!!"

The imperial guard hurriedly explained: "Your Highness lost for a while first, just as the cavalry of the prefect of Yunshang County arrived and defeated the bandit army and horse army. Our army fought back and fought until late at night, taking countless prisoners. If it weren't for the shocking news, the prince would have to raise troops to cross the river today .”

King Ji still didn't believe it, but the news came one after another.

The prince has really entered Chang'an and is rushing to Longhua Hall.

Yang Shangchuan sat down on the ground with a pale face.

Behind him, a hand supported him.Just by smelling the fragrance of this body, Yang Shangchuan recognized who it was.

It was actually his side concubine Xiao Shi who disguised herself as a little eunuch and mixed in with his entourage.

"The mountain collapsed, and all the gates of the palace were keyed. Therefore, the prince can only come around from the main gate of the palace city, Your Highness! We still have time!"

Yang Shangchuan's face turned even paler.

"My concubine, what time do we have?"

Xiao Chan'er said in a low voice coldly.

"Entering from Wu'an Gate, the shortest way to get to the Palace Gate is through the Qiwei Gate in the inner city. Isn't Liu Shen, the guard of the Qiwei Gate, one of His Highness's people?"

"Stop the emperor? No, then he can go. No, you mean that!?"

Seeing Xiao Chan'er nodded affirmatively, Yang Shangchuan's expression finally changed drastically.

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the imperial father's spiritual seat, finally he couldn't suppress his ferocious look any longer.

"If you don't do one, you will never stop!"
