Capital city, at the city gate.
Zhang Caozhong led his troops to defend the king.
An army of 200,000 men was at the gate of the city, like a dark cloud covering the sun.
The third prince Xiao Chengzhe looked at the tightly closed city gate and said anxiously, "Uncle, what are you waiting for? Let's attack the city quickly!"
There was no movement in the capital, and he was worried that his father and mother would be killed by the deposed crown prince.
Zhang Caozhong snorted coldly: "If you say anything more, I'll cut off your tongue."
Hearing this, Xiao Chengzhe's back stiffened and he dared not say anything more.
Zhang Caozhong was moody and he was really afraid of having his tongue cut off.
Chen Gan stood on the city wall and used a telescope to see Zhang Caozhong's face clearly.
He had already learned lip reading, and could not help smacking his lips when he recited Zhang Caozhong's words.
...
...
“How cruel!”
If even my own nephew is like this, I'm afraid others are even worse.
Chen Gan said: "Send someone to report to His Highness that Zhang Caozhong is leading his troops into the capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a horse on the street.
Chen Gan turned around and ran to the other side of the city wall, and saw Xiao Jingzhou galloping towards him.
Shen Lan followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Chen Gan said to Zhou Wu: "It's up to you."
Zhou Wu nodded, then left with the sniper rifle.
The city gate slowly opened and Xiao Jingzhou led his troops out of the city.
The Zhiyi Army and the garrison army confronted each other.
Zhang Caode laughed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very courageous. With only 100,000 remnant soldiers, he dared to confront the 200,000 garrison troops in the suburbs of Beijing."
Xiao Jingzhou held a spear and rode his horse forward a few steps.
He said, "Zhang Caozhong, you didn't expect me to be able to return to Beijing alive, did you?"
Zhang Caozhong closed his eyes and smiled after a long while, "You are lucky. You were exiled to the north and the dry grass was eaten by refugees, but you are still safe and sound.
If you happen again, I will never let you leave the capital alive. ”
Xiao Jingzhou's eyes were sharp: "I never expected that you would allow famine in the north for your own selfish reasons, causing the people to starve to death.
He even suppressed refugees from entering the capital, resold grain to Dayan in exchange for weapons, and emptied the capital's granaries for rebellion. ”
Zhang Caozhong said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is as eloquent as a silver tongue. We are here to serve the king at the order of the Emperor.
You are the rebel. ”
Lu Chen felt angry when he saw Zhang Caozhong's smug look.
Especially when he thought of the suffering of the refugees and the hardships they had endured on the road to exile, he wished he could skin Zhang Caozhong alive.
Xiao Jingzhou did not get angry but laughed: "Back then, my father led the army in person, but unfortunately he was seriously injured.
Zhang Ge Lao concealed his illness and later replaced the crown prince with a man of similar appearance, impersonating Emperor Jing.
What crime should be committed in this matter? ”
Xiao Jingzhou's voice was quite loud and everyone around could hear it clearly.
The soldiers on both sides were stunned for a moment. Xiao Chengzhe, who was riding on horseback, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Caozhong.
"uncle……"
There was murderous intent in Zhang Caozhong's eyes. He led his troops forward without any scruples.
What's more, the emperor in the hall declared that he was willing to abdicate and let the loyalist become emperor.
What difference does it make whether he abdicates or dies?
Taking care of Xiao Chengzhe these days has made him impatient.
Instead of supporting a wolf cub to ascend the throne, Zhang Caozhong might as well become king or emperor himself.
He said without hesitation: "I didn't expect you even knew this."
"But it's too late."
"Today is the day you die!"
Zhang Caozhong was in a rare good mood: "If you lay down your weapons, I can spare Zhi Yijun's life and leave you with an intact body."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
Zhang Caozhong gave an order: "Kill the deposed crown prince and go to the palace to defend the king!"
The 200,000 garrison troops remained motionless, only the 3,000 personal soldiers of Zhang Caozhong rushed forward.
Chen Lan led his troops forward to fight against Zhang Caozhong's three thousand personal soldiers.
Xiao Chengzhe realized something was wrong and turned his horse around and tried to escape.
Somehow, blood splattered on his face and the horse under him fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Chengzhe rolled on the ground, and when he got up quickly he found that he had sprained his foot.
He lay on the ground with a look of despair, watching his dying warhorse beside him.
Zhang Caozhong looked at the 200,000 troops behind him and did not move.
He was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.
"What are you doing?"
"The deposed crown prince is rebelling, why don't you hurry to the palace to defend the king?"
"Do you want to stand here and wait for the deposed prince to kill you?"
Zhang Caozhong couldn't believe that he couldn't control 200,000 garrison troops.
"Yin Zhenxiong, Wu Haicheng, Pang Yunhu."
"How dare you not obey my orders?"
Zhang Caozhong looked back, only to find that the three men were looking straight ahead, treating him as if he were a invisible person.
Zhang Caozhong was unable to react to the situation and felt that his many years of experience in officialdom had gone to waste.
Zhang Caozhong roared: "Don't you think it's too late for you to betray us now?"
He originally wanted to instigate Yin Zhenxiong, Wu Haicheng and Pang Yunhu to take action, but all he got was silence.
The three thousand personal soldiers were raised in the capital and were used to eating the best food. They were no match for the Zhiyi soldiers who fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield.
Even some cowards, seeing that the situation was not right, threw away their weapons and surrendered.
Soon, Zhang Caozhong's personal soldiers were escorted away.
Zhang Caozhong was so angry that his eyes turned red. He drew his sword and rushed towards Xiao Jingzhou.
The sharp blade made a crisp sound and fell to the ground.
Xiao Jingzhou rode forward and thrust his spear forward, causing Zhang Caozhong to fall to the ground and roll in the mud.
Before Zhang Caozhong could react, a sharp blade was placed on his neck.
Zhang Caozhong's right hand was numb from the shock, and when he looked up he saw Wei Feng's face: "Who are you?"
Wei Feng sneered: "You dispatched the Wei family army, and you actually asked who I am?"
"In my next life, I will find out who my master is before I try to trick someone else's pig."
Wei Feng ordered: "Take him away!"
The mutiny, which was originally feared by everyone, only caused casualties among Zhang Caozhong's personal soldiers.
Zhang Caozhong and Xiao Chengzhe escorted him into the palace, and Wei Feng put his arm around Chen Gan's shoulders.
He has a big beard and his smile is creepy.
Wei Feng asked, "Brother Chen, how did Zhang Caozhong's knife fall to the ground just now?"
He saw with his own eyes something hitting the handle of the sword, which made Zhang Caozhong let go.
Wei Feng had never seen anyone with such great skills in his entire life.
Therefore, he wanted to find out something or maybe even witness it with his own eyes.
It is also a blessing in this life.
Chen Gan didn't fall for it and reached out to push his hand away.
Chen Gan: "I'll let you see something, but not now."
Wei Feng smiled and said, "Okay."
…
Xiao Jingzhou went away and came back, with Zhang Caozhong escorting him.
All the civil and military officials were panicked.
An army of 200,000 attacked the city, but the Zhiyi Army that entered the capital numbered only 100,000, and they managed to kill all of Zhang Ge Lao without leaving a single soldier.
He was even captured and taken into the main hall.
The dragon robe of Emperor Jing was hanging loosely on his body. The first time he saw Zhang Caozhong, he just wanted to escape from this place.
He held onto the dragon throne and looked around, trying to find an opportunity to escape.
But before he could move, he saw the knives in the hands of the Zhi Yi soldiers around him and immediately retreated.
At this moment, Emperor Dajing hated Zhang Caozhong to death, if it weren't for Zhang Caozhong who fed his greed.
He was a leisurely prince in the Dajing Dynasty, with no worries about food and drink. Isn't that better than now when his life is in danger?
For a moment, everything in the hall was silent.
Zhang Caozhong was taken into the hall. He was unwilling to accept the situation and asked, "Why would 200,000 garrison troops obey your orders?"
What about the Wei family army?
It was obviously his powerful garrison!
