Chapter 246: Last Stand
? Tuoba Yehe brought these guards to the Xihuang Camp, one of the four guard camps in the imperial capital, where 10,000 elite soldiers gathered.
"Where is An Kehu?" Tuoba Yehe came to the front of Xihuangying and shouted loudly.
An Kehu is the leader of Xihuangying.
"Emperor... Your Majesty... I would like to inform Your Majesty that Commander An is not here now, only Deputy Commander Hu Lachi is here." A soldier saw the emperor suddenly approaching, and immediately replied tremblingly.
"Hmph, call Hulachi to see me, and order all the guards to assemble immediately, and follow me to put down the rebellion." Tuoba Yehe said loudly.
The imperial guard was at a loss when he heard this, and he didn't understand what was going on. Why did the emperor go into battle in person, and even said that he wanted to put down the rebellion. Did there rebel in the imperial capital?
But as an elite guard, although he was shocked, he went down immediately to convey the order.
But at this time, Tuoba Yehe directly rushed into the camp of Xihuangying with his people.
When all the imperial guards saw the big yellow flag of the emperor, they immediately knelt down to welcome them one by one. Tuoba Yehe galloped his horse and shouted loudly: "All the imperial guards obey the order, put on their horses immediately, and follow me to put down the rebellion. All the imperial guards obey the order, put on their clothes immediately, and follow me to put down the rebellion."
Hearing the voice of the emperor and seeing the flag of the emperor, these imperial guards were extremely shocked, but the long-term training allowed them to react quickly, and they all immediately looked for their horses, put on their horses, and followed in Tuobaye behind him.
Soon, Tuoba Yehe ran to the front of the main tent, where the commander was.
"Hulachi, come out." Tuoba Yehe shouted loudly.
After a while, a tall man dressed all in clothes came out from the tent. However, this man didn't have the domineering arrogance that a commander in the army should have at this time.
"Hulachi, pay homage to Your Majesty." Because Hurachi was wearing armor, he didn't bow down, but bowed down to salute.
"Haha, you still know me, Your Majesty? Just now I ordered all the commanders of more than a hundred people to have an audience, why didn't you come?" Tuoba Yehe stared at Hu Lachi with wide eyes.
"This... this subordinate did not receive the order." Hu Lachi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"Didn't you receive the order? Are all the heralds of the emperor dead? You guards, have you seen the heralds run into the camp?" Tuoba Yehe asked the guards next to him loudly.
"See." The guard next to him replied truthfully.
At this time, with the emperor in front of them, these imperial guards naturally did not dare to lie in the slightest. They didn't know what the truth was, and their long-term loyalty to the emperor made them obey Tuoba Yehe's order at this time.
"Did you hear that? Hulachi? What else do you have to say?" Tuoba Yehe shouted loudly.
Hu Lachi's head was covered with sweat. Although he was usually a commander whom everyone looked up to, a hero among all the imperial guards, but at this time, he had lost any trace of his usual majesty.
"I know my crime, I hope His Majesty can give me a chance to redeem my crime." Hu Lachi suddenly knelt down and begged.
There was only a sneer on Tuoba Yehe's face, and after a while, he said lightly: "All the commanders with more than a thousand people are all out."
Hearing the words, the commanders of thousands of guards stood up quickly, while others walked out timidly.
Tuoba Yehe glanced at them, and said coldly: "The few who stand up later, kill them all."
The shadow guards behind Tuoba Ye were activated in an instant, and they were dispatched suddenly. These thousand-man commanders had no chance to react and were killed directly.
"You may be wondering why I am killing so much today. I can tell you that now that Prince Hu Tuobagui has rebelled, he has bought most of the imperial guards' commanders. From now on, all your guards will I will lead you personally, and follow me to quell the rebellion. If there is any abnormality in your leader, you must kill it immediately without any delay. Killing the wrong one is innocent, but not killing is a serious crime, understand?" Tuoba Ye closed his eyes. Looking at the guards who had gathered together, they shouted loudly.
At this time, the night was silent, the sky was bright with stars, and in the huge tent, there was only the sound of the torches piercing and burning, and the sound of Tuoba Yehe, in this cool late autumn, carried an inexplicable sadness.
"Swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death, allegiance to Your Majesty to the death." All the imperial guards shouted loudly at this time, and there was an aura of death in their eyes.
Tuoba Yehe looked at this scene, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes, which showed that he was indeed not a fool all these years, and now these guards are still willing to die for him.
"If... in case I die unfortunately, then you should stop fighting, find a way to get out, and tell the world about Tuobagui's regicide, and you are going to find the Ninth Prince Tuobahong, who will be Yunmeng in the future. The emperor, you must be loyal to him and rebuild my Yunmeng Dynasty." Tuoba Yehe knew that even if he had integrated these armies now, after Tuoba Gui planned for such a long time, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent .
Therefore, at the last moment, all he had to do was to keep more bargaining chips for his son.
He wanted all Yunmeng people to know that the Yunmeng dynasty had not changed owners yet, his son Tuoba Yehe was still the emperor, and this dynasty still belonged to their family.
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that none of the guards answered, Tuoba Yehe asked loudly again.
"Hear." All the imperial guards showed determination in their eyes. They were selected from childhood to be the best fighters in Yunmeng. They were instilled with the belief that they would be loyal to the emperor.
Now, the emperor was about to be killed, but they couldn't do anything. A sense of sadness arose in their hearts.
As a guard, but unable to guarantee the safety of his own emperor, what kind of guard is he? They have been envied by all the people in Yunmeng for so many years, and when they saw them, they all cast admiring glances.
That's because they are the most loyal and elite guard battalion.
But now, the commanders of the imperial guard camp have turned traitor, and the emperor is also facing a catastrophe. What right do these imperial guards have to survive?
Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a period of time, this time is the time when the emperor needs them. They usually have such high salaries and their families have received so many honors. Now is the time to repay them.
"Follow me." Tuoba Yehe took the people from Xihuangying to quickly go to Beihuangying. If he was lucky, he could receive another 10,000 horses.
However, this time, he obviously didn't have such good luck. If Tuobagui hadn't made arrangements for such a long time, he didn't have to plot against him.
The reason why Tuoba Yehe didn't choose to escape from the city at the beginning, but chose to go to Xihuangying to gather troops to fight Tuoba Gui to the death, was because he knew that Tuoba Gui must have controlled the four city gates first, and he was the one who came out. not going.
Moreover, even if he could go out by himself, how far could he be escorted by just a few thousand guards in the palace? There is no dangerous terrain in the Yunmeng Grassland, and he will be overtaken in a short time.
At that time, he will be a bereaved dog who is hunted down, and no one will know if he is killed in the wild.
Therefore, instead of running away and being caught up, it is better to fight to the death, and make the matter bigger, make it the biggest, let everyone know that Tuobagui killed his king. In this way, everyone in the imperial capital will know that it was Tuoba Gui who conspired against him and killed the king, and that Tuoba Yehe had passed the throne to Tuoba Hong.
From then on, Tuoba Hong was the emperor of Yunmeng.
In this case, people's hearts are still on Tuoba Hong's side. They all believed that the emperor of Yunmeng was Tuoba Hong, not Tuoba Gui.
Although Tuoba Gui's conspiracy is not fully known, Tuoba Yehe can also guess that Tuoba Gui must have prepared some secret means to let himself die quietly, and then secretly killed several princes , or control a few princes and step aside, Tuobagui can inherit the throne in a legitimate way.
Most of the ministers have been controlled by him, and it is not very difficult for him to ascend the throne peacefully.
In this way, no one will know that he killed the king and usurped the throne, and a new dynasty will quietly start, but it is justified.
Naturally, Tuoba Yehe couldn't let him succeed, even if he died, he had to let everyone know that Tuoba Gui killed his king.
"Haha, Tuoba Gui, do you still have the face to see me?" Tuoba Yehe shouted loudly after seeing Tuoba Gui from a distance, there was no trace of fear on his face, only a calm and ferocious look like a wild wolf . A registered member of Piaotian Literature recommends this work
