Chapter 496
The person who rescued Wu Mei at the critical moment was indeed a dark spiritual cultivator, and he was also a member of the Dark Arrow. Wu Mei is already Tang Yin's fiancée, and Anjian has also allocated some manpower to secretly protect Wu Mei, but there are not many people. At this time, there are only three people responsible for protecting Wu Mei, and their power is limited. If they want to save others, they can only rescue Wu Mei.
Since the outside was surrounded by the Sanshui Army, the Dark Arrow personnel hugged Wu Mei and just climbed over the courtyard wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. They were immediately surrounded by the Sanshui Army soldiers outside. One of the Dark Arrow personnel immediately reached into his arms and took the order from the Dark Arrow. He took out his card, waved it to the surrounding soldiers, and shouted: "We are Hidden Arrow, we are handling the case. If anyone blocks it, kill it first and report later!" Hidden Arrow's reputation is not something to brag about, let alone ordinary soldiers, even the commander of the entire army. If a serious mistake is made, the undercover personnel have the right to review it first and then report it. Seeing that the opponent was a secret assassin, Sanshui's soldiers retreated instinctively and voluntarily and consciously made way for a passage. The three hidden arrow personnel did not dare to delay, and ran out with Wu Mei in their arms.
As soon as they left, Liu Gang, who was chasing him from behind, also arrived. He watched helplessly as the soldiers below let him go. He was angry and furious. He shouted at the soldiers around him: "Who let him go?" Why didn't you let them run away? Why are you still here, chasing me!" But it was too late to pursue him at this time, and the hidden arrow personnel and Wu Mei had already disappeared without a trace.
Wu Mei was lucky enough to be rescued by an assassin, but Wu Yu, his wives, and Wu Ying were not so lucky. They were all captured by the Sanshui Army and temporarily imprisoned in a big house in the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the same time, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything in Yancheng was almost in chaos, with chickens flying, dogs jumping, and people shouting.
Liang Xing, who gained military power, was like a wild horse that escaped from the frontier. He vented all the depression and anger he had felt after losing power, and even couldn't control his emotions. While he led the main force of the Sanshui Army to the palace, he also divided a group of people to arrest the court ministers loyal to Wu Yu. At the same time, Ziyang Haochun on the other side was not idle either. Liang Xing and the servants and retainers of their close ministers all gathered together to form an army of thousands of people, and went to Tang Yin's house to besiege the backbone of the Tianyuan Army headed by Qiu Zhen.
Liang Xing had a very thorough idea. Even if he had the military symbols and general orders of the Sanshui Army, it would be unrealistic for the Sanshui Army to go and kill Qiu Zhen and his group. The Sanshui Army would definitely not dare to do this. To eliminate Qiu Zhen and others, he would only Being able to rely on their own strength, fortunately, they usually recharge their batteries. There are many servants and guests in each house, and now they can finally put them to use.
As one of the four powerful men in the Feng Kingdom, Liang Xing's mind and command on the battlefield were extraordinary. His style was also vigorous and vicious, and he was assisted by Ziyang Haochun, who was good at leading troops in war.
Although Liang Xing's order was only to arrest the ministers loyal to Wu Yu, the situation quickly got out of control. Those ministers were not willing to be captured. His servants and retainers soon got into hands with the Sanshui soldiers. Once they did, there would be casualties. It was inevitable that when one of their own brothers died in the hands of the other party, the soldiers of the Sanshui Army were no longer polite. At this time, they didn't care whether they were captured alive or not. They would kill everyone they saw. All of a sudden, people's screams and painful wails could be heard one after another in Yancheng.
The arrest by the Sanshui Army turned into a massacre. Liang Xing was not surprised at all. Those ministers thought that they had Wu Yu as their backer. They were all over the top and did whatever they wanted on weekdays. The Sanshui Army wanted to arrest them. How could they just surrender? As soon as a fight broke out and there were casualties, the situation would immediately escalate. In fact, it was just as he expected.
Liang Xing secretly laughed in his heart, kill him! It would be better to kill all Wu Yu's lackeys and minions to save trouble in the future! Soon, another news came that Wu Yu and his family had been captured alive by their own side, and were now all detained in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This news made Liang Xing jump up and down with excitement. He never expected that catching Wu Yu, an old fox, would go so smoothly! Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he immediately sent someone to the Youxiang Mansion and asked him to bring Wu Yu to the palace.
Now, the Sanshui Army commanded by Liang Xing is approaching the main entrance of the palace, and the 10,000 Pingyuan Army responsible for guarding the palace.
Seeing so many Sanshui troops coming from the front, the officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Liang Xing, protected by his many retainers, urged his horse forward and directly called the generals of the Pingyuan Army to speak. The person in charge of these 10,000 people was a regiment commander named Cai Yuhu. He was a native of Pingyuan County. He was tall, brave and good at fighting. He was also one of the most powerful generals in the Pingyuan Army.
He knew Liang Xing, but because of this, he felt even more strange. How could Liang Xing lead his brothers from the Sanshui Army? He cupped his hands to Liang Xinggong on the horse and said, "It turns out to be Prime Minister Liang. You must be polite at last." He said this, but he didn't even bow, let alone kneel down to salute.
Liang Xing was angry in his heart, but his expression remained the same. He said seriously: "You can go back. Now the guards of the palace will be taken over by the Sanshui Army." Cai Yuhu frowned secretly. The palace has always been protected by the Pingyuan Army. When Changed to Sanshui Army? Why didn't I hear any news? He was full of doubts and asked: "Does Prime Minister Liang have any general orders or handwritten instructions from your lord?" Liang Xing only had the general orders of the Sanshui Army. Where could he find the general orders of the Tianyuan Army? Moreover, Tang Yin did not make the general orders or military symbols of the Tianyuan Army at all. Liang Xing was well prepared. He reached into his arms, took out a fold of the oracle, and handed it to the retainer beside him to pass it to Cai Yuhu.
Cai Yuhu took it suspiciously, opened the handwriting and took a look. It was not written by Tang Yin at all. It was stamped with the seal of the general, and the signature below was also Ziyang Haochun. After reading it, Cai Yuhu threw the letter away without even thinking about it, and said to Liang Xing: "This is not the letter from your lord at all. Without your order, I'm sorry, but I won't go anywhere!" See you! Like this, Liang Xing's old face suddenly sank, he stretched out his hand, pointed Cai Yuhu's nose, and shouted angrily: "You are so brave, you are rude to the general's handwriting, and you disobey the general's order. You should be punished What's the crime?" Others may still be wary of Liang Xing, but Cai Yuhu doesn't care at all and doesn't take him seriously. He said coldly: "Who is the general? I only obey the orders of your lord! If Prime Minister Liang can't produce your general's orders and instructions, please take them back as soon as possible!" After saying this, he waved his hand impatiently and turned to go back to the palace.
Liang Xing couldn't stand being humiliated in public by a mere corps commander. He turned around and screamed: "This person disobeys the general's orders and intends to rebel. Get this person!" Following his words, Sanshui The soldiers moved, and Liang Xing's retainers all stepped forward to capture Cai Yuhu.
The other party came to arrest their own regiment leader. How could Pingyuan soldiers sit idly by and ignore it? Hundreds of Pingyuan soldiers at the entrance of the palace swarmed forward and blocked Liang Xing's retainers. At the same time, a sound was heard above the palace door. There was the sound of bow strings being tightened, and on the palace wall, thousands of Pingyuan soldiers were already twisting their bows and setting arrows, aiming at Liang Xing and others outside the palace.
Liang Xing was startled, stared at the Pingyuan Army in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Rebellion, you all have rebelled!" As he spoke, he turned back to the generals and regimental commanders of the Sanshui Army and shouted: " Did you see that all these people have rebelled? Come on over and kill all these rebels! "It's okay to let the Sanshui Army capture the ministers in the court, but let them fight against the Pingyuan Army. No one in the Sanshui Army dared to hit their own people, and they really didn't want to do it. After listening to Liang Xing's words, the generals looked at each other and lowered their heads. No one spoke, and no one accepted the order to fight.
Seeing this, Liang Xing's eyebrows stood up. He took out the military talisman of the Sanshui Army, flashed it in front of the generals' eyes, and shouted: "You dare to disobey the order?" "The generals don't dare..." Seeing the military talisman , all the generals looked ugly and knelt down one after another.
"Since you don't want to resist the order, fight me now and wipe out all the rebels occupying the palace!" Liang Xing shouted sternly.
The generals of the Sanshui Army looked at each other and were speechless.
If he could not control the palace, he would not be able to become king, and his plan would be a complete failure. Liang Xing was so anxious and angry that his eyes were about to burst out with fire. He pulled out the steel sword from a retainer beside him and pointed at it. Looking at the generals of the Sanshui Army, they shouted: "Whoever dares to disobey the military order, I will kill his head now!" Seeing that Liang Xing was acting like a madman, the generals felt a chill in their hearts. Under Liang Xing's power, they all stood firm. Everyone stood up one after another, looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed. How to fight this battle? He and the Pingyuan Army are both from the same family, not to mention the Pingyuan Army's combat effectiveness is the strongest among the Tianyuan Army. Now relying on the palace wall for defense, even if there are many people on our side, we can't get in!
Everyone winked at each other, nodded tacitly, and then at the same time raised their hands to Liang Xing and said, "Yes! General, I will obey!" Seeing that the generals were finally willing to obey his orders, Liang Xing's expression softened a little, and his eyes rolled. After turning around, he said again: "We have more people and fewer rebels. Don't attack at all. Spread out and attack from all sides!" Liang Xing was not an empty-minded mediocre person. As the Prime Minister of Zuo, he also He is familiar with military books and strategies, and knows how to use troops.
This time the generals of the Sanshui Army did not hesitate and agreed repeatedly. According to Liang Xing's wishes, the entire army was divided into four parts and attacked the palace from four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
As the Sanshui Army's attack unfolded, the inside and outside of the palace suddenly fell into an overwhelming cry of killing. People were shouting loudly, but no one actually stepped forward to take action. Looking from a distance, I saw the Pingyuan Army shouting on the palace wall and the Sanshui Army shouting outside the palace wall. The two sides neither fought nor shot arrows at each other. Many soldiers were grinning and shouting to kill.
