Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh: Tokyo chaos
A terrible news spread in Tokyo.
Everyone is saying that the purpose behind Zhao Wang calling all the officials into the palace is to give everyone's wives and daughters to the Shan army for enjoyment.
Because soon, tens of thousands of Shan troops will arrive in Tokyo. They will rest and replenish their troops here before setting off back to Daliao.
And these people have no regard for ordinary women.
Specifically, all applicants must be women with official records or from scholarly families.
This rumor actually sounds ridiculous at first sight.
No matter how stupid Cui Ang is, he will not use his wife and daughter to do such a business. This is not flattering the master, but committing suicide.
So when such rumors began to spread in Tokyo,
Cui Ang didn't take it seriously at all,
Only people with an IQ similar to that of a pig would believe such a stupid lie, right?
His subordinates, even those generals who did not read much,
It's impossible to have this kind of IQ.
Unfortunately, there is one thing Cui Ang didn't expect at all.
That is, sometimes, all others need is an excuse.
Does it matter whether this excuse is ridiculous or not?
It must be understood that as long as the matter is over, everyone will soon forget it.
Even if you don't forget, you will just treat the loser as a clown and smear him wantonly.
Put all the absurdity on him,
So as to find a reasonable excuse for all the unreasonableness.
Moreover, people at the lowest level sometimes really believe such ignorant rumors and enjoy talking about them.
After all, before this, the Liao army had already robbed thousands of palace maids and concubines, as well as countless ministers' files and relatives in Tokyo.
The Shushan Army must have failed to catch up with that wave, so they wanted to make a wave of their own!
Therefore, such rumors did not disappear because of their absurdity. Instead, driven by thoughtful people, they spread more and more fiercely, and there were countless renovated versions.
From the beginning, it was just official documents, and now it has expanded to the point where anyone who is a woman may be abducted.
The entire city of Tokyo was panicked and angry.
The anger of ordinary people was not enough to worry King Cui Ang of Zhao.
But the anger of his officials and troops made him panic.
Because now, he has really brought the family records of many of his officials and generals to the palace and put them under house arrest.
But why did he want to dedicate these people to the Shan army?
He wanted to use this as evidence,
Come and coerce those officials and generals to join him in resisting the Shan army!
"Let them out immediately, let everyone go, and let them go home!"
Groups of people rushed in to report to Cui Ang that the army in the city was unstable and signs of military chaos had begun to appear.
Cui Ang gave the order while sweating profusely.
It was only then that he finally came to his senses.
However, it's too late.
Large-scale military chaos broke out in Tokyo.
Except for Wu Shengjun in the core area, almost all the soldiers and horses stationed in the city were in chaos.
"We will never let our wives and daughters be humiliated, and we will never let our sisters be humiliated. Kill Cui Ang!" Liu Z stood on the horse and shouted with his sword drawn.
The soldiers responded in unison, followed him, and rushed towards the palace.
These soldiers were basically adapted from the original Fourth Army. When Tokyo was besieged, they saved their families because they surrendered their allies in time.
But after the city was destroyed, what happened to other people in Tokyo also frightened them out of their wits.
They never want their family to end up in that situation.
Didn't you surrender to the Liao people just to save your family?
If you can't even do this, then why not give in!
At Nanxunmen, Dai Wei looked furious and scolded Cui Ang. He was asking for orders for the people and making decisions for the soldiers. His speech was similar to Liu Z's, but he added one more thing: Cui Ang's
The reason why he is so weak is because he has no eggs and cannot even speak a complete sentence in front of the people of Liao. He is far less capable than General Qu.
In addition, Qu Zhen had fought fiercely in Xiangyang earlier and had just won a great victory in Xinye. The defenders of Nanxunmen were still in awe of Qu Zhen.
So the Nanxun Gate opened wide, and Dai Wei led most of his soldiers towards the palace, but left his lieutenants to guard the Nanxun Gate to guard the gate for Qu Zhen, who was about to arrive.
The agreement with Qu Zhen is tonight.
The city of Tokyo, which has been plunged into darkness as soon as night falls for most of the past six months, lights up again.
Only this time, countless torches were concentrated from all sides of the city towards a certain point in the center.
In addition to these meandering fire dragons, more fire flames also burned within the huge city.
Whenever there is a military riot, ordinary people will always be the most seriously injured.
As the army marched towards the core area controlled by Cui Ang, countless rebels quietly broke away from the team and sneaked into the seemingly intact markets on the roadside.
Then, the fire started, the sword flashed, and the screams started.
These ordinary people who luckily escaped the slaughter of the Liao people,
Tonight, a new disaster ushered in.
But, who cares about them?
Lu Xiong flew into the palace.
When Cui Ang took office as the pacifier of Hebei, he was assigned to Cui Ang by the emperor as the Imperial Banzhi.
Generally speaking, imperial guards like them are the emperor's bright eyes and ears, openly monitoring such frontier officials.
It's just that the emperor acted openly and openly,
The ministers can only accept it obediently.
But Lu Xiong tied his own interests to Cui Ang.
For an almost forty-year-old Ban Zhi, still doing such hard work in the field actually meant that he had nothing to look forward to in the future, so Lu Xiong decided to seize this opportunity.
He seemed to have caught it.
From then on, he rose from a small squad to the governor of the capital, and rose all the way to the commander of the capital. Finally, he partnered with Cui Bo in Huazhou and directly commanded Wu Shengjun.
Others can cut off from Cui Ang, but he cannot.
Just like Tang Nu back then, he could only share wealth, life and death with Cui Ang.
Because they were involved in everything Cui Ang did.
Yelumin will not let Cui Ang go, will he let Lu Xiong go?
No!
"Prince, run quickly, while there is still a chance!" Lu Xiong's face was pale and his hands were shaking slightly.
"Why are you here? You should be commanding Wu Sheng's army to counter the rebellion!" Seeing Lu Xiong, Cui Ang was furious: "They are just a bunch of mobs. You only need to see the whole city on fire to know what they are doing. Attack
It’s just a small group of people. Your Wu Sheng army now has tens of thousands of people, are you still unable to deal with these rabble?”
"Your Majesty!" Lu Xiong said with an ugly face: "The incident happened too suddenly. There are tens of thousands of people in Wu Sheng's army, but now we can only contact the three thousand people around the palace, but there are too many enemies.
No matter how brave the soldiers are, they can't stand up to so many enemies! The ants will bite the elephant to death. Your Majesty, hurry up and break out. On the other side of the Long Live Palace, three thousand of the Crown Prince's troops are stationed there. They must be moving closer now.
, let’s go in that direction and join them. Even if we can’t turn defeat into victory, we can at least rush out of the city.”
"If you rush out of the city, where can you go?" Cui Ang was confused.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. We must first pass this hurdle!" Lu Xiong said loudly. "Otherwise, if the rebel army breaks through our defense line, everything will be too late, and we won't even be able to run!"
"
"Let's go, let's go!" Cui Ang's lips were trembling, and he was almost carried out by Lu Xiong.
As for the other Cui family records in the palace, Cui Ang didn't seem to think of it at all at this time, and Lu Xiong didn't mention it at all.
The next step is to escape for your life. If you take these old, weak, women and children with you, you are asking for trouble.
Qu Zhen has entered the city.
At Nanxunmen, he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers.
After all, he was once a senior general of the Fourth Army, and most of the soldiers in the Fourth Army knew this man's name.
Behind Qu Zhen, thousands of cavalry filed in.
Qu Zhen left Nanyang with only 3,000 people, but the extra 2,000 people were lent to him by Yelumin.
Han cavalry specially selected from the Shan army.
At this time, Yelumin had no intention of entering the city at all.
That rumor is a sharp sword, and the people in Tokyo now hate him as much as the people who hate Cui Ang.
Therefore, stationing far away from the city without entering the city is the best way to get rid of the rumors.
When Qu Zhen completely took control of the situation, all the charges were pinned on Cui Ang.
Everything is perfect.
And it is not difficult for the Shan army to stage a show in which military discipline is strict and Qiu never violates it.
Compared with the ordinary Liao army, the Shan army's military discipline itself is very strict.
They are not short of money.
With the queen behind them, they always have to consider only victory. As long as they have continuous victories, they will have endless wealth.
If you belong to the Shan army, there is no need to rob!
"Gather all the officers together and say that someone from me, Qu, has entered the city!" Riding on a tall horse, Qu Zhen said with high spirits: "We are punishing the people and punishing Cui Ang, a common thief. If anyone can't restrain his subordinates, he will be punished.
If you harm the people, don't blame me for turning against someone, they will definitely be liquidated."
Seeing the messengers rushing to their respective destinations to inform the military leaders, Qu Zhen laughed and took the reins of the horse: "Come on, let's go meet King Zhao for a while!"
Cui Bo's luck is quite bad.
When chaos broke out in Tokyo, he immediately led the army of three thousand princes towards the palace to join forces with his father. Only by concentrating all the power in his hands could he take advantage of the chaos. He also saw this very clearly.
Now tens of thousands of Wu Sheng's troops, who are well-equipped and whose combat effectiveness far exceeds that of other troops, are scattered in various places. It seems that they are all in key places. But when things happen, they suddenly find that they are actually in a dangerous position everywhere.
Under an absolute military disadvantage.
All troops must be mobilized to suppress this rebellion.
On the road to the palace, this army was still invincible. Anyone who tried to stop them was attacked by them. More rebels had already disappeared after seeing their appearance.
After all, in this city-wide riot, everyone's target is directly at the Zhao Palace, and everyone wants to catch Cui Ang.
The military leaders from all walks of life led their elites towards this goal, and no one paid attention to Cui Bo.
This is the result of not having a unified command.
If Qu Zhen had not arrived in time and given unified command of the overall situation, then maybe after the Cui family father and son reunited, it would have been possible to defeat these military leaders who were fighting independently.
But whether it is Qu Zhen or Ye Lu Min, they are both veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. How could they not be exempted from this situation?
The unlucky Cui Bo ran into the cavalry led by Qu Zhen who had just come down from the battlefield.
Compared with other armies in Tokyo City, Wu Sheng's army is in control. The problem is that the one they are facing now is much stronger than them.
The two sides started fighting on the spacious Suzaku Street.
After only supporting a cup of tea, the Wu Sheng army led by Cui Bo completely collapsed.
Cui Bo was captured alive.
Qu Zhen rode her horse straight to Zhao Wang's palace.
Dai Wei was already in front of the palace gate and bowed to greet him.
"General, the family records of all the detained officials are still inside, and the general has sent people to protect them!" At this point, Dai Wei paused for a moment, and then said: "King Zhao, oh, no no.
, Thief Cui’s family papers are also here!”
Qu Zhen was startled and sneered: "Cui Thief's usual style is that as long as he can escape, anyone can give up. But this time, can he still reach the sky?"
Cui Ang really didn't run too far.
Lu Xiong originally wanted to protect him and escape from the city, but as Qu Zhen entered the city, the scattered armies suddenly began to become orderly, and their army, which was still an organized army, suddenly became orderly.
Zi then attracted everyone's attention.
From the initial random attack, to the moment he found out that the target was a thorn, he immediately left, to the organized delay, cover, and cutting, Lu Xiong knew that something was wrong.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
A high-ranking general had discovered them and began to organize an attack.
Next, there will only be more and better troops coming here.
You can't escape like this.
So Lu Xiong made a prompt decision, found an excuse, hid from everyone's eyes and ears, took off his armor and stomach, removed all the iconic things on his body, then abandoned everyone and sneaked into the night.
It is difficult to escape with a large group of people, but it is still easy for a person to escape in such a chaotic environment.
What's more, Lu Xiong is a native of Tokyo and is very familiar with the environment here.
When Cui Ang discovered that Lu Xiong had run away and something bad happened, a new round of attack began again.
Without Lu Xiong as a military commander, the fate of this team can be imagined.
Cui Ang smeared blood all over his face and body, took off the clothes of a dead soldier, put them on himself, then lay down in the pile of corpses, pulled two corpses to cover himself, and only asked for this
The enemy should leave quickly, and then try to escape on your own.
At this point, I no longer care about dignity or face, as long as I can live.
