I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 559: The family rebels besieged Weiyang Palace, and were suddenly stabbed in the back and the entire army was defeated!

The sudden change made the other disciples of the aristocratic family look horrified, and the horses under their crotches all took several steps back.

"This person is a remnant of the Huo Party. He is shaking the morale of the military. Anyone who dares to delay the military plan again will be subject to military law!" Yang Yun roared.

"Wei!" The disciples of the aristocratic family also remembered that they were doing something stupid. They no longer hesitated and agreed one after another.

"Start attacking the city immediately! The one who enters Weiyang Palace first will be recommended by this officer to the new king and be made a Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses!"

"Wei!" The shouts of the children of the aristocratic families became louder again.

So, under the instigation of Yang Yun and the children of the aristocratic family, the slaves who gathered in Beique Square hurriedly began to attack the city.

The thousands of slaves armed with all kinds of weapons rushed towards the three to four feet wide north gate - the only siege equipment was a battering ram.

Thousands of people charged at the bare Beique Square at the same time, and the momentum was already very huge.

These domestic slaves don't care about formation at all, they rely on their fierceness.

Before the men with short weapons had reached the halfway point, those with bows behind them hurriedly released their arrows.

Because the distance was too far, these arrows could not hit the palace wall at all, but instead shot down many domestic slaves who rushed into the battle.

When the house slaves rushing into the battle array arrived at the double gates with their screams, the guards on the palace wall began to fire arrows again.

The arrows fired by hundreds of soldiers were not dense, but they were more accurate, so they shot down dozens more people in the blink of an eye.

The rain of arrows from both sides forced the slaves to hide under the double bridges with their heads in their hands. No matter how much Yang Yun and others behind them shouted, they were unwilling to stand up and rush forward.

As a result, only the crossbowmen and archers from both sides were left to shoot back and forth, and the rest became supporting roles.

Although the domestic slaves made a great noise, they made no progress.

Yang Yun, who was holding the battle at the rear, was completely heartbroken. Without reinforcements, it was almost impossible to capture Weiyang Palace.

He kept looking to the west - that was the direction of the Third Auxiliary School Parade Ground. According to the original plan, the patrol guards would come from that direction.

At this moment, Yang Yun was not only worried that the patrol soldiers would not be able to come, but also worried that the patrol soldiers had defected.

If such a thing really happened, it would not be as simple as not having reinforcements. They would also have thousands more powerful enemies.

Now, the domestic slaves can still rely on their numerical advantage to support themselves under the city. If they encounter a similar number of soldiers patrolling the city, they may collapse immediately.

Yang Yun has not escaped at this moment entirely because Zhang Anshi promised "five thousand people to protect the Western Regions."

If the support troops can arrive before noon, there is still a possibility of saving the situation.

But can the support troops arrive on time?

Yang Yun felt a little unsure.

……

While Yang Yun was waiting anxiously in Beique Square, the news that the patrol guards did not arrive on time reached Zhang Mansion.

At this time, people in Zhang's mansion were coming and going, and it was very lively.

This place turned out to be the General's Mansion. Because the General's position had long since become a vacant position, the front office had always been empty and very deserted.

Today is a big event, and the children of the aristocratic family, as Zhang Anshi's attendants, shuttle back and forth. In a trance, this place seems to have become the military and political center of the Han Dynasty again.

People coming and going looked nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Zhang Anshi kept issuing orders to government offices all over Chang'an City, and many orders were even sent to Ling County in the Sanfu area.

The contents of the orders are similar, "The Huo family is in rebellion, and I order you to gather troops and wait for dispatch" and so on.

The wording is impeccable, but with only Zhang Anshi's signature and private seal, the persuasiveness is greatly reduced.

Those who know the inside story will act according to the plan even if they don't receive this fake order, while those who don't know the inside story will not act rashly.

Although it has little effect, the command cannot be stopped for a moment, and at least it can play a role in disrupting the audition.

"Report to the general! Mr. Yang has a message!" The slave Jiabai, who was sweating from running, said in front of Zhang Anshi.

"Why are you so alarmed!?" Zhang Anshi put down the pen in his hand and asked displeasedly.

"Mr. Yang Mansion asked the villain to report to the general that the soldiers from the third auxiliary patrol pavilion have not arrived at Beique Square!"

"What?!" Zhang Anshi stood up in shock.

Almost an hour ago, Zhang Anshi received the news sent by Wei Xian. The messenger clearly said that "the soldiers of the Third Assistant Patrol Pavilion have started an uprising."

It only takes half an hour at most to get from the Sanfu Campus to Beique Square in Chang'an City.

Now an hour has passed and there is still no news, so something must have happened.

The people sent to command the three auxiliary soldiers patrolling the city were Bingxian and his two sons, as well as Wei Xian and his son. They were all reliable people...

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi's heart skipped a beat. He thought of Wei Xuancheng, whose attitude had always been vague, and suddenly felt something bad.

"How is the situation in Beique Square now?" Zhang Anshi asked again hurriedly.

"There are not many soldiers stationed there. Mr. Yang is afraid that something might change, so he has already sent troops to attack the city!"

"Is it going well?"

"When the villain came, he had just started to attack the city. He didn't know what would happen next. Mr. Yang asked the general to rush there as soon as possible to prevent the situation from changing!"

"I know, go and report back quickly, I'll go now!"

"only!"

House slave A left, and Zhang Anshi sat on the couch feebly.

The shouts of killing in the city were faintly transmitted into the main hall, making Zhang Anshi's heart agitated.

Controlling the three auxiliary patrol soldiers is the key to controlling the situation in Chang'an City, and it is also the key to the success of their uprising.

Although other counties and counties also have the help of aristocratic families, the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near. If Chang'an City is not controlled, the subsequent plans will be impossible to discuss.

Conspiracy is just a quick word.

Only by taking advantage of the chaos to control the emperor and cut off the emperor's communication with the world can we succeed.

Once they reach a stalemate and let the emperor's edict be issued from Chang'an City, they will definitely lose.

Zhang Anshi knew that the Liu family's destiny had not changed. As long as the emperor's edict was issued, an army of Qinwang could be gathered in a few days.

By then it will be too late.

Now, the two reinforcements from the Western Region Protectorate are Zhang Anshi's last hope.

"Come here!" Zhang Anshi shouted toward the door.

More than a dozen young people from aristocratic families poured into the main hall, and they all came to serve Zhang Anshi.

"Instruct each family to recruit all the servants in the mansion and gather at Beique Square!"

"Now that life and death are at stake, everyone must go into battle to strengthen the military, regardless of whether they have weapons or not!"

"only!"

After everyone left, Zhang Anshi put on his armor and walked out of the main hall with his long sword.

Under the protection of the house slaves, Zhang Anshi got on his horse and rode towards Beique Square.

Along the way, chaos caused by rebellion can be seen everywhere. Many domestic slaves who are red-eyed about robbery have completely lost their minds and are looting wantonly. Bodies lying on the roadside can be seen everywhere on the official roads. Most of them are wearing robes. They are probably officials who came to various government offices in the morning.

There was thick smoke billowing in the alley, and the doors of many homes not involved in the incident had been smashed open, and the sounds of women and children crying could be heard.

Even Zhang Anshi himself was almost robbed and killed while walking through the chaotic alleys.

A dozen domestic slaves who became a mob did not recognize Zhang Anshi. In their eyes, this old man wearing armor must have some frivolous wealth.

As a result, these domestic slaves had evil intentions towards Zhang Anshi and wanted to intercept him halfway.

Fortunately, the domestic slaves around Zhang Anshi loyally protected their master and fought off the gangsters so that he would not suffer.

In just a quarter of an hour, Zhang Anshi saw many tragic scenes, and couldn't help but think of the witchcraft chaos decades ago.

At that time, Zhang Anshi was just over 30 years old and was the official of Emperor Xiaowu. He stayed in Jianzhang Palace outside the city with him.

Although he did not experience the witchcraft chaos in the city, he also saw the tragic situation in the city after returning to the city.

At that time, corpses clogged the alleyways, blood stained the moat, and ruins were everywhere.

After the chaos, as many as 50,000 to 60,000 corpses were cleared out of Chang'an City, and the smell of blood lingered for half a year.

At that time, the most intense fighting between the two sides was also in Beique Square. The two armies were killing there for several days and nights, and the corpses were piled up in several layers.

Zhang Anshi looked at the tragic situation in front of him, thinking about the tragic events in the past, and felt a sense of guilt in his heart: after all, he still caused the lives of people to suffer.

Of course, this ray of guilt did not last long and disappeared.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. These deaths and injuries in front of you are all caused by the foolish king in Weiyang Palace.

If he hadn't insisted on suppressing the big families, if he hadn't insisted on not abolishing the Huo family, if he hadn't wanted to establish the Huo family as the heir apparent...

How could he, Zhang Anshi, and all the great families in the world do such unfaithful and unfilial things?

This rebellious emperor must be driven off the imperial couch in Wuyang Palace and a new king established. Only in this way can the great man return to peace.

Zhang Anshi even felt that as early as more than ten years ago, he should have helped Huo Guang "control" the emperor. If Huo Guang was here, why would he do this.

With this conflicting and anxious mood, Zhang Anshi finally arrived at Beique Square.

At this time, the domestic slaves who had gathered under Zhang Anshi's order arrived one after another. Looking around, there were already four to five thousand people gathered.

Moreover, they found several ladders to attack the city.

Under Yang Yun's command, the newly arrived slaves also began to attack the city in a chaotic manner.

Arrows flew randomly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and swords screamed... Beique Square became a battlefield.

Zhang Anshi found Yang Yun in the chaos. The latter had just been shot by a stray arrow, and his face and head were covered in blood. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

"Have the patrol soldiers brought by Bingxian arrived?" Zhang Anshi asked anxiously.

"Still not seen, I'm afraid I won't be able to come!" Yang Yun replied quickly.

"How is the war going now? Is it possible to capture Weiyang Palace immediately?" Zhang Anshi asked.

"There aren't many guards at the top of the city, but the city wall is too high. I'm afraid we won't be able to knock it down for a while..." Yang Yun said while wiping the blood.

"Immediately divide a thousand troops to attack Changle Palace and Mingguang Palace. There are even fewer soldiers and guards there and they cannot defend our offensive!"

"Wei!" At that moment, Yang Yun sent a thousand troops to the east of the city.

"Master Fu, the reinforcements are delayed and we are in a tough battle. What should we do?"

"Continue to attack the city. If something unexpected happens, we will push it to Mingguang Palace and Changle Palace, and kidnap the Queen Mother and..."

Before Zhang Anshi could finish these words, a sound of drums and horns suddenly came from the west, and the two of them immediately looked to the west!

They were delighted at first, and then surprised.

It was indeed Sanfu's patrolling pavilion soldiers who came, but...

But the direction they were charging towards was not Weiyang Palace, but the military formation of the domestic slaves.

In the blink of an eye, these thousands of soldiers patrolling the city poured into Beique Square from the west like a flood, fighting with the domestic slaves.

Whether it is cavalry or infantry, what matters when fighting is a stable military formation.

Once enemy troops appear on the flanks or rear, it is easy to fall into chaos or even retreat.

Thousands of soldiers patrolling the city suddenly rushed over, causing chaos to the domestic slaves who had no military discipline at all.

The two sides engaged in battle for a moment, and the latter was immediately defeated and retreated swarm to the east of Beique Square.

Zhang Anshi, Yang Yun and others rode on horseback and wielded swords to restrain the rebels. They killed many deserters but still could not hold back the position.

Moreover, the two of them were almost pulled off their horses by the fleeing slaves.

At this time, shouts of killing suddenly came from the southeast, and then soldiers from the city patrol pavilion rushed over from there.

These patrolling pavilions are not the patrolling pavilions of Sanfu, but the patrolling pavilions of Zhijinwu.

It seems that Zhi Jinwu was transferred directly from the Sanfu Yamen - Zhang Anshi and others failed to make a quick decision, which gave Zhi Jinwu and Jian Kou time to react.

"Quick! Retreat to Mingguang Palace!" Zhang Anshi shouted hurriedly, and Yang Yun and others also loudly commanded the formation desperately, wanting to withdraw eastward immediately.

At this moment, nearly ten thousand people from both sides had gathered in Beique Square, and the shouts of killing were even more intense than before.

Two groups of soldiers patrolling the city squeezed the panicked slaves from the west and south. It was not easy for them to retreat eastward, so they had no choice but to retreat toward Huayang Street.

Seeing the soldiers patrolling the city getting closer and closer, Zhang Anshi, who was among the rebels, felt fear.

In this chaos, he looked at Weiyang Palace behind the Double Que for no reason.

Weiyang Palace, which was in danger just now, has now regained its peace. Amidst the deafening killing sounds, it was exceptionally quiet and solemn, without any damage.

Zhang Anshi's eyes passed through the overlapping palaces, and he seemed to see the emperor in the Xuanshi Palace at a glance.

The emperor swept away the months of drowsiness and stared at Beique Square and Zhang Anshi with a falcon-like gaze.

The surroundings became quiet at this moment, and many things flashed through Zhang Anshi's swollen mind...

A possibility suddenly occurred to him.

The aristocratic families thought they were the open net, but in fact the emperor was the one catching the birds.

All of this may be a trap laid by the emperor.

"Quick! Quick! Go to Huayang Street and evacuate to the north city wall!" Zhang Anshi squeezed out these words from his throat, and the disciples from the aristocratic families around him quickly passed on the order.

This time, the house slaves finally obeyed the order.

After all, Huayang Street is the only place without enemies.

If they could escape Chang'an City from there, it seemed that they could temporarily save their lives - as for whether the relatives left behind by each family were dead or alive, they no longer cared about it.

When Zhang Anshi, escorted by the children of the aristocratic family, and the remnants of his slaves retreated hastily, a horn sound suddenly came from the other end of Huayang Street!
