Chapter 137: Late Winter and Spring Come
Outside Jingzhao Prefecture, the sky is foggy and I can’t see the mountains and ravines in the distance.
Going further forward, there are the areas where these fierce soldiers riding on horseback in Jingzhao Prefecture, you only need to run thousands of miles to reach outside the imperial capital.
The sound of horse hooves sounded on the road, and there was a flat horse in front of them. Under the command of the flag bearer, the cavalry on the horse's back stretched out the column. These men were once the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
After tens of thousands of cavalrymen, eight horses pulled carts. Under the chariot, there was a round fat man sitting. The fat man chased his beard on his chin and smiled.
Yang Huzi's 180,000 rebel coalition forces have entered Jingzhao Prefecture.
More than a dozen cavalrymen who were in front of the horses were in front of him, and every once in a while, there would be horses, and most of them were invincible. From Longdong City to Jingzhao Prefecture, there was no shadow of a soldier from the Tang Dynasty.
However, occasionally they will be attacked by villagers from passing villages, or the green forest bandits hidden among the mountains and forests will be slightly blocked. Those who stop before the rebels are like being a mantis chariot, overestimating their abilities.
Yang Huzi frowned. He did not look at the sky. The deputy general had already reported to him and arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture.
He narrowed his eyes and thought of the desolation and desolation when he left the imperial capital not long ago. But thanks to his desolation and desolation, he finally got rid of the shadows that had been on his head for more than ten years.
"Li Linfu, I, Hu Mangou, are coming back to see you again." Yang Huzi picked up a glass of wine from the side of the chariot, poured it on and poured it. When the wine glass was gone, he threw it out of the chariot.
Behind him, Yang Huzi, was his direct descendant. As long as he was ordered outside the imperial capital, these men would be his great heroes in establishing the new dynasty.
"Master Protector." A deputy general ran to Yang Huzi, stepped onto the chariot a few steps, and muttered a few words in the side of Yang Huzi's ear.
There was a little color in Yang Huzi's eyes.
"Kill without mercy." But the final words are still only three words.
No matter who was standing in front of Yang Huzi's rebels, Yang Huzi would not be ruthless. As long as the person who stood up to stop him from entering the imperial capital at this time was his Yang Huzi's enemy.
The tens of thousands of cavalry in front seemed to have suddenly received some order, and the flag bearer began to dive on the horse's back, and the tens of thousands of cavalry behind them also clamped the horse's belly.
In an instant, the neighing sounds of horses resounded on the plains.
Between the heaven and the earth, twelve swordsmen came out of a fog. Twelve famous swords from the Shushan Sword Sect buzzed between the heaven and the earth.
In two days, the Yang Huzi rebels arrived at the imperial capital city two days later than the estimated time, and were dragged by these twelve swordsmen for two days.
A day before Yang Huzi arrived at the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital welcomed reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty from outside Kaiyuan Gate, Jinguang Gate and Yanping Gate. About 60,000 reinforcements entered the Imperial Capital, and under the leadership of the leading general, they quickly occupied all the cities in the Imperial Capital to prepare for defense.
Afterwards, Shi Bianming walked down the city, and his steps were fast. The expression on his face also changed.
Often, no soldier knew what he was thinking at this moment.
In order not to fight against Yang Huzi's rebels, he should have entered the imperial capital one day later than Yang Huzi's rebels, but when he arrived, Yang Huzi was still on the way.
He was very grateful to those Tang gangs who had won the Tang dynasty for the past two days for him and his Tang soldiers.
If nothing unexpected happens, those people should have died under Yang Huzi's iron hooves at this time. Shi Dianming didn't know who they were, and now it is not the time to consider those.
Behind Shi Bianming, Xu Dabao was panting and holding the two handsome seals in his arms. Even though his forehead was covered with sweat and his feet were already powerless, he knew in his heart that this time was extremely important to General Shi Bianming at every moment.
He escorted Zeng Guangyuan, the General of the Sixteen Guards, and walked outside the imperial city. Behind Shi Bianming, there were only a dozen soldiers of Tang Dynasty soldiers standing.
Cao Akui, the commander of the Shence Army, stood on the imperial city. He raised the spear in his hand and pointed it straight at Shi Dianming. When the spear fell, countless crossbow arrows were placed on the crossbow. Thousands of Shence Army were poked out their heads on the imperial city.
Shi Bianming stopped and raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop. He took two steps forward and bowed slightly to Cao Akui: "Commander Cao, here is Shi Bianming, the governor of Shannan West Road, please see His Majesty the Heavenly Majesty."
Cao Akui didn't even raise his eyelids. He just looked at the imperial city that was indifferent to the distance and shook his head slightly. After a long time, he asked sternly: "Shi Bianming, do you also want to rebel?"
"I dare not, I just want to see His Majesty the Emperor." Shi Bianming's face did not change, and he reached out to hold the knife, raised his head and stood upright, and his eyes were on Cao Akui.
On the imperial city, Cao Akui was unmoved, and Shen Ce Army was still holding a crossbow, and crossbow arrows were all staring at Shi Bianming.
"Shannan Jiedushi Shi Bianming, please see His Majesty the Emperor!" Shi Bianming's voice became even louder, and he repeated.
The soldiers behind him understood at this time that the general was in a bad mood now.
Facing the confrontation between the imperial city, it seems that someone had guessed it earlier.
Those who guessed the situation here came to a mansion that was not very rich. There were very few people in the mansion, but it was indeed a family of officials. Moreover, the owner of the mansion that Xingqian, who came last spring, found two of his friends early today.
Meng Dongye had already left the imperial capital with the wave of scholars going to the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the people who were still in the imperial capital were considered Han Changli's friends, nothing more than Guo Xiaojiu and Li Sanpang.
Three people sat in the back garden of the mansion, above a small stream, and a pavilion stood on the side of the river.
The servant came to see the tea and was sent back by Han Changli. In the pavilion, there were three people playing a chess game.
The chess players were Li Sanpang and Han Changli, while Guo Xiaojiu lay listlessly on the stone bench in the pavilion, overlooking the stream. It was no longer the cold winter month, and the ice on the stream was not as thick as outside the mansion. At this time, cracks had already been cracked.
Just have to welcome the first spring
The rain and the ice will break through and usher in the real spring of the imperial capital.
Unfortunately, spring came a little late this year. A few days ago, dark clouds came to the top of the imperial capital and added a layer of white clothes to the city.
"Puu!" A stone half the size of a palm was thrown on the ice by Guo Xiaojiu. His strength was naturally not small. The ice layer was not very strong at first, but when it was hit by the stone, it completely cracked.
Under the stream, it seems that you can already see the water plants drifting with the flow, floating casually.
"You lost." Li Sanpang put down a son, and the fat on his face trembled quickly with his laughter. He really wouldn't have thought that such a fat man was actually a good player. Even Han Changli, the top scholar in the imperial examination in the Imperial Capital, was not his opponent.
"Yes." Han Changli nodded slightly, reached out and began to pick up the chess piece and put it in the chess box.
Hearing the sound coming from behind, Guo Xiaojiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up from Shi Yizhi: "Hey, hey, Han Changli, Li Sanpang, are you two finished? When is it now? You still have the heart to play chess."
"Xiaojiu, you can't be anxious about some things." Li Sanpang turned his head and said slowly.
This sentence immediately made Guo Xiaojiu think of the boy Zhou Ziheng. He rolled his eyes and turned his back directly, and continued to look at Xiaoxi, and another stone had been pinched in his hand.
"I can't get off." Han Changli stood up after picking up the last chess piece, and raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The servants on the mansion rushed over and happened to appear on the corner of the back garden path.
"Sir, Shi Bianming, the governor of Shannan West Road, has been standing outside the imperial city for two hours." The servant hurriedly reported the report.
"Yes." Han Changli nodded, picked up the tea bowl on the stone table, and drank it for a few drinks, but was still unsatisfied. Then he walked to Guo Xiaojiu and looked at the stream: "Xiaojiu, can you accompany me to see your old friend?"
"Old friend?" Guo Xiaojiu turned around, frowned slightly, and instantly understood what Han Changli meant. He reached out and put his hand on the scabbard, turning over and standing under the pavilion.
"Han Changli, hurry up if you want to do something. Fairy Ning of my family is still waiting for me to go back in the restaurant." Guo Xiaojiu said, but a smile appeared on his face.
