Chapter 209 Intercept(1/2)
"Major General, can we beat them if we resist?"
Zhao Dongliang is experienced and knows the situation just now. If he really wants to fight, the Li family will definitely be destroyed, so he will stop him.
"This is Shanhaiguan. My father has many close friends. As long as he resists for a while, reinforcements will come!"
Li Chengsi looked dissatisfied and thought that Li Zongting and Zhao Dongliang had made a mistake and should not surrender.
"Cheng Si, do you really think that someone will help us fight against the court!"
The authority of the Dagan Dynasty is still there, and Zhao Dongliang doesn't believe it. The rest will follow them and fight against the imperial envoy of the court.
Because fighting against the imperial envoy is equivalent to rebellion, no one dares to easily touch such a matter of implicating the nine tribes?
What's more, the border troops in Shanhaiguan are not all direct descendants of the Li family. Under the restraint of each other, who dares to follow them to fight against the court?
"this?"
Li Chengsi was also a little hesitant. He was not a fool and knew the situation in Shanhaiguan very well.
If Li Chengsi had the confidence to control the situation before.
But more than a year ago, the Li family's direct descendants suffered a lot of losses in the war outside the pass.
Half a year ago, when the Yuan Dynasty invaded, the Li family lost some more troops.
Although the court gave the supplement after the war, it also dispatched troops from all over the place to Shanhaiguan.
But the military strength is stronger and the situation is more complicated. There are already several factions in the army, not all of them are from the Li family.
So if you really want to fight against the imperial envoy, many people will hesitate, and Li Chengsi doesn't know how the situation will develop.
"A little impatience will cause big plans. I think. When you should bear it, you must bear it!"
Seeing Li Chengsi hesitating, Zhao Dongliang knew that he had figured it out and spoke up.
"What should I do about my father?"
"In the last war, Changning Hou looked at the general and the major general with a different look. In this situation, you can ask him for help!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengsi's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke, "I'll go write a letter now!"
The next morning, the Jinyiwei escorted Li Zongting and left Shanhaiguan.
Because Li Chengsi was worried about his father, he also brought a few personal soldiers to the capital.
This made Chen Qishen happy and thought to himself that it was a waste of time and just happened to solve your father and son together.
From Shanhaiguan to Shenjing, it was five or six hundred miles long. The Jinyiwei needed to escort Li Zongting, so the speed was naturally not fast. It took only a whole morning to walk more than twenty miles.
"Damn the treacherous!"
Seeing his father being locked in a prison car, Li Chengsi was so angry that he had no choice but to follow him silently.
In the afternoon, it was more than 30 miles away from Shanhaiguan. Li Chengsi suddenly noticed that the ground was trembling and became nervous.
He was born in military martial arts and naturally knew that this was a phenomenon caused by cavalry running.
The Jinyiwei who escorted Li Zongting also found that the situation was wrong and immediately became vigilant.
In a short while, smoke and dust rose from behind, and more than 200 cavalrymen chased after him.
These cavalrymen, holding sharp blades, and everyone has black scarves on their faces, and they look bad.
"alert!"
The Jinyiwei Qianhu, who led the team, issued an order on the spot, and also glanced at Li Zongting and clenched the sword in his hand.
Li Chengsi, who followed the prison car, was also a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he took a few personal soldiers to the woods next to the official road.
Soon the cavalry came closer, fired a wave of arrows, and killed several Jinyiwei.
"Look at the prisoner Qin, be careful!"
The Jinyiwei Qianhu, who led the team, changed his face and thought that someone was robbing the prisoner.
However, Li Chengsi noticed something was wrong and shouted: "Protect your father!"
After saying that, he led people out of the woods and stopped watching.
Because the wave of arrow rain just now was obviously aimed at Li Zongting. If these cavalry had not had good archery skills and there were Jinyiwei in front of them, I was afraid that Li Zongting in the prison car would have lost his life.
When Li Chengsi rushed out, the cavalry covered in black scarf had already fought with the Jinyiwei, but the situation was one-sided.
Because the combat power of the Jinyiwei is really not very good, many people are still afraid of death and can no longer hold on. They immediately ran away, only caring for their own lives.
In a very short time, the cavalry had already reached the prison van and wanted to kill Li Zongting.
Fortunately, Li Chengsi arrived in time and saved his father, but the situation was still very bad.
Because the Jinyiwei who escorted Li Zongting had already begun to escape, Li Chengsi and his friends had only a few people, and they could not stop many cavalrymen at all.
In desperation, Li Chengsi could only wave his sword, cut off the chains on the prison van, and rescue Li Zongting.
Li Zongting did not object, because the situation in front of him was still in the prison car, and there was only a dead end.
The two sides fought for a while, and at the expense of two personal soldiers, Li Zongting and his son finally rode their horses out of the siege.
After all, both father and son are military generals and have strong combat power. If they let go of their hands and feet, not everyone can stay.
"Should we do this now?"
After breaking through the siege, Li Chengsi asked, looking a little nervous.
"Go and find the Jinyiwei and go to Beijing with them!" Li Zongting replied.
"Dad, do you still want to go to Beijing with the Jinyiwei?"
Li Chengsi was anxious. He was not a fool, so he could naturally guess where the cavalrymen just now came from.
"Only by going to the capital and meeting the emperor to defend himself, can one have a way out for him as a father!"
"But the killer just now is obviously..."
"Stop talking!"
Before Li Chengsi could finish speaking, Li Zongting interrupted him, his tone was very firm.
What Li Zongting could think of was naturally something that Li Chengsi could think of, because except for Chen Qishen, others did not have the ability to send more than 200 cavalrymen to rob and kill him.
But in the current situation, if you don’t follow the Jinyiwei to Beijing, there is no other way to go.
"Why!"
Seeing his father so determined, Li Chengsi was very helpless and stomped his feet in hatred.
"My son doesn't have to worry. With this interception, the Jinyiwei will be very careful and will not happen like this again!"
Looking at his son's dissatisfaction, Li Zongting spoke to comfort him, but he felt a little angry and hated the darkness of the court.
Li Zongting, who had been an official for many years, had guessed some situations and knew that he had become a scapegoat for smuggling.
However, he had a good impression of Emperor Chongxing, so he did not give up and planned to defend himself in person after entering the capital.
After all, he is a first-class general. If he has the opportunity to meet the emperor, he may not die in prison without his death...
While the two were talking, the Elf Uniform Guards who were running for life had gathered together.
"Sir, should I do this now?"
A Jinyiwei Baihu asked the Jinyiwei Qianhu who led the team.
"Go back to Shanhaiguan!"
"promise!"
More than an hour later, dozens of Jinyiwei returned to Shanhaiguan. After all, there was no prison car this time, and the speed was much faster.
In the imperial envoy's headquarters, Zhao Wenyu's face looked very ugly after listening to the report from Qianhu, the Jinyiwei.
"So, the criminal has been lost!"
"Unworthy job!"
"Who was the prisoner who robbed him?"
"Is it Li Chengsi?"
Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, said without hesitation, after all, if he lost the imperial prisoner, he still didn't know who the prisoner was, and the crime would be much greater.
What's more, it was Li Chengsi who rescued Li Zongting from the prison car. He said that.
"Li Chengsi!"
Zhao Wenyu repeated it, and then looked at the Jinyiwei Qianhu with a cold look.
"It's really Li Chengsi?"
A treacherous official like Zhao Wenyu is not a fool, and he soon felt the problem.
Because Li Chengsi really wanted to rob the prison, he could do it last night, and the situation in Shanhaiguan would not be so calm.
"What my subordinates saw with their own eyes was Li Chengsi who rescued Li Zongting from the prison car!"
The Jinyiwei may not be able to fight in battle formations, but they are not weak in intrigue, so Qianhu, who led the team, gave this answer.
To be continued...
