Chapter 55: Seize the Door
In Chang'an City, as Li Jue and Guo Si continuously mobilized troops to surround Fan Chou and his party, the chaotic scene continued to spread throughout the city.
"The general has an order to close the city gate quickly, no one is allowed to enter and exit!" At the south gate, a fast horse ran from the city quickly, without getting off the horse. He showed a token in his hand and shouted loudly to the city gate captain.
"Here!" After confirming the token by the city gate captain, he nodded slightly and waved: "Get the team down and close the city gate."
After the person who sent the orders conveyed the order, he did not stop, turned his horse's head and ran towards the city.
"General, look!" Just as the city gate was about to close, a soldier suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the distance and said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" The city gate captain heard this and looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates. His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, but outside the south gate, smoke and dust filled the sky, and a slight trembling sound appeared on the ground. At the end of the line of sight, under the smoke and dust rolled up in the sky, a black line was constantly squirming in the line of sight, becoming thicker, and finally gradually became clear.
At the same time, dozens of riders were approaching here quickly, and the outline of the rider could be clearly seen. At the speed of dozens of riders, it was not too late to close the city gate, but the captain of the city gate was not panicked. The other party's outfit was the Western Liang army. In front of the team, the words "General Anton Xu" were written on the big flag waving in the wind.
"It's General Xu Huang!" The city gate captain frowned and said, "But somehow he returned at this time."
Seeing that the dozens of horses were almost approaching the land of an arrow, the city gate captain frowned and said, "Shoot the arrows and shoot the ground!"
"Swish swish swish swish swish!" A row of more than a dozen arrows shot out with the command of the city gate captain, and shot towards the front of dozens of cavalry.
"Wow~" Xu Huang tied his horse on the back of the horse, sat down and stood up. Dozens of knights behind him quickly stopped moving forward.
"I am General Andong Xu Huang. I am ordered to suppress the bandits. I will return to the city to submit the order today!" Xu Huang's anger was in Dantian and exhaled. At the same time, a knight quickly came to the city with Xu Huang's command arrow and handed the arrow to everyone.
The captain of the city gate looked at the arrow and said loudly: "General forgives his crime. Now there is turmoil in the city. The general has an order to close the four gates. Please ask General Xu to temporarily camp outside the city and wait for the turmoil in the city to suppress it before entering the city."
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to close the door.
"General, what should I do?" A deputy general asked softly beside Xu Huang.
When Xu Huang heard the turmoil in the city, he knew that Liu Xie's plan had begun. When his face turned dark, he said in a deep voice: "It's over, I can only force myself to break into the city! Please listen to my order... rush!"
Just as the city gate captain finished sending the order and turned around to close the door, Xu Huang and others suddenly launched an attack. At the same time, the knight who came to send the order arrow suddenly attacked. Taking advantage of the city gate captain turning around, he drew his sword and killed him. This person was Xu Huang's personal follower, but his martial arts were good. He had already cut down the two of them while everyone was reacting. The other guards were shocked to see this and were about to fight back, but they saw that Xu Huang had already rushed forward with his men.
Blood splattered, dozens of riders roared past, and more than a dozen city gate guards fell into a pool of blood without having time to resist.
"Zhao Hu, you will take the people to quickly occupy the city gate and pick up the soldiers into the city!" Xu Huang put away the big axe dripping blood, turned his head and looked at a deputy general beside him and said.
"Here!"
After a sudden change, the Xiliang army up and down the city gate could not react at all, so they were suppressed by the men brought by Xu Huang. After a stick of incense, more than 10,000 men brought by Xu Huang came to the city in a mighty manner.
"General Xu!" Xu Huang was arranging his troops to occupy the city gate. Near the city gate that had been frightened by the sudden change, a man dressed in a civilian suddenly jumped out. Xu Huang looked at it and was the general who followed Fang Sheng into the city first and immediately attracted him.
"What's the situation in the city now?" Xu Huang quickly called him and asked.
"Everything is within the calculations of Your Majesty. The two thieves, Guo Si and Li Jue, have been transferred by Your Majesty and introduced into the palace. There is no command of the soldiers in the city. Your Majesty has ordered the general not to hurry to rescue. Your Majesty has already made arrangements in the palace. At this moment, the general should quickly seize the military power in the city. This is the tiger talisman given by Your Majesty! If anyone dares not to obey, the general has the right to take action first and then report!" The general took out a golden seal from his arms and handed it to Xu Huang.
"Huh~"
Even with Xu Huang's calmness, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and forcibly suppress the excitement in his heart. Although the imperial power has declined now, this tiger talisman still represents the supreme power of the Han Dynasty. Perhaps it had declined in the past, but after today, it will regain its supreme value.
"I, thank you for your kindness!" Although I knew that at this moment, I might only be able to use him, this unreserved trust still made Xu Huang excited. He held the tiger talisman in his hand and knelt down in the direction of the palace. After three bows, he had just started fighting and put away the tiger talisman and said to the commoner: "I will collect military power. Please order a thousand troops and go to the palace to support Your Majesty! If your Majesty has any mistakes, I will ask you!"
"Here!" The general in a civilian quickly agreed, ordered a thousand troops, and quickly rushed to the city.
Xu Huang turned his horse on his back and looked at the direction of the city. He felt a flame burning in his heart. After today, the Han Dynasty will rise again, and he will become a famous general in the world!
"My boys, let's make achievements today, follow me!"
"kill!"
...
Just as Xu Huang and his men entered Chang'an, on the other side, Fan Chou had already rushed into the palace under Fang Sheng's leadership.
"What are you going to take me here?" Fan Chou gasped for a few breaths and looked at Fang Sheng.
"It's not to be concealed. The general was ordered by His Majesty and asked the general to come here to jointly plan to eliminate the thieves!" Fang Sheng smiled lightly at this moment and bowed to Fan Chou: "This time, his Majesty realized that the two thieves Li and Guo had murderous intentions towards the general. He could not bear to die as loyal and righteous people like the general and ordered the general to go and secretly help him."
"You mean..." Fan Chou looked at Fang Sheng in a daze and said incrediblely: "All this is all the plan by that little emperor... no, your majesty?"
"No, Li Jue, Guo Si really wants to kill you. Your Majesty has already developed a plan to deal with the two thieves Li Jue. I just don't want a general like a general to die here in an unknown way." Fang Sheng said calmly.
"Then why do you bring me here?" Fan Chou was shocked when he heard this, "If you anger Li Jue and Guo Si, wouldn't it affect Your Majesty??"
