Chapter 1360 Rebellion

Although Li Qi felt uneasy, he still didn't want to just give up when he thought about a future where he couldn't see any hope.

This is true for the two princes, not to mention Li Huan. He has saved Li Xiong's life twice and has military power. He is planning to put his two sons into the court for training.

However, He Shou and Li Xiang had some conflicts with him, so they obstructed him in every possible way.

He had asked Wang Gui to make a statement in front of the king. Before he came, the king had already relaxed. He worked hard and the two children could serve as officials after returning home. But now that Zhao Hanzhang has intervened and the country is no longer established, how can they join the court as officials? ?

Not only them, it will also be difficult for his remaining sons to enter the official career again in the future.

He raised a large family and consumed countless amounts of money and food every day. I heard that Zhao Hanzhang had strict laws and would not tolerate even the elders of her clan making mistakes. In addition to the punishments due from the court, she would also give additional reprimands. .

If this is true for relatives, how much more for outsiders?

Li Huan was very reluctant to work under Zhao Hanzhang.

So, he decided to give it a try with Li Yue. If he succeeded, he might be able to take his lord Li Xiong to a higher level. If he failed, he would probably die.

He has died so many times, not least this time.

He thought so, but his pride told him that he couldn't die.

Li Huan was willing to be the middleman and invited a few good officials to join him. They were all old friends who followed Li Xiong.

We have joined the army together since we were young, and if we are still alive and working to this day, our positions will not be too low.

He also knows what handles and concerns they have.

People like them can live well under Li Xiong's rule, but in Zhao Hanzhang's hands, they are meat on the chopping board.

No one wants to be a piece of dead meat. To do that, be the hand that knocks the knife open and grab the knife.

Li Huan went with confidence.

Then only two people were brought back, and the rest politely rejected him for various reasons. He whispered to Li Yue: "Although they declined politely, they also hinted that they would not leak the matter. We will lead our troops there. They just pretend they don’t know.”

There are two people who are also responsible for the protection of the camp. The responsible location is not far from Zhao Hanzhang's tent. If they are willing to release the water, they will be much smoother.

There is an undercurrent in the camp.

Zhao Hanzhang seemed completely unaware. After the banquet, he left Fan Ying and Xun Fan behind to deal with some matters in the tent, and then let them go after the night was late.

Li Xiong didn't fall asleep either.

As Zhao Hanzhang said, he was in his prime. Although his abilities were limited and he was too loyal, he still had the vigilance and vision he should have.

Why did he bring so many ministers and generals from the Cheng Kingdom with him on this trip, even some landlords and gentry?

The first is to allow them to be witnesses; the second is to prevent them from causing chaos after staying in Chengdu and hearing about this incident; third... Li Xiong, who has always been strong and loyal, finally made up his mind to use Zhao Hanzhang's hand to conquer Bashu this time. power.

Since it is for the people of Bashu, then completely close your left eye and only open your right eye to look at the people.

So he allowed the undercurrent in the camp to surge. When the night was completely dark and the wind outside began to calm down, he opened his other eye and softly ordered: "Let our people advance quietly and protect themselves from the outside." account."

Li Xiang agreed and went in person.

But less than two-quarters of an hour later, Li Xiang's confidant stumbled back and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the general has been captured, and our people are restrained by the imperial guards and cannot move at all."

Then he said: "There seems to be something going on over there in the main tent."

King Cheng was stunned. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound outside, and his heart jumped violently. In just one moment, two identical loud noises were heard in succession. The ground shook, and King Cheng felt that the soles of his feet were shaking. Several times.

He stood up and stumbled out. As soon as he came out of the tent, he saw a fire not far away in front of the middle tent soaring into the sky. It quickly fell down, but the falling fire was still dazzling, illuminating the whole world...

Thousands of rays of light suddenly appeared in the silent mountain, and streaks of white light shot out, shining on the Chengguo soldiers who were hiding in the shadows of tents and in the forest.

Through these white lights, they could see the fear on their companions' faces in the dark night... and their own frightened expressions in their eyes, extremely clear...

There are gods and ghosts!

The swords fell with clatter, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers who obeyed the commander's orders with passion was completely gone. They were not thinking about their military life and future, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Li Yue, Li Qi, Li Huan and others who rushed to the front also turned pale instantly. They were holding swords and were surrounded by a fire in fear.

The explosion just exploded not far behind them. There were three pits on the ground, and fire was everywhere. Most of the soldiers and followers they brought were wailing on the ground, and their bodies were covered with wounds opened by iron sheets.

These three bombs were special, their power was very average, the crater they exploded was not big enough, but they were loud and the fire they emitted was high. They were specially chosen by Zhao Hanzhang to shock people before he came.

She had planned it before coming. If she didn't need it tonight, she would use it as a salute before leaving Chengguo.

It is still the first month of the year, and setting off firecrackers is meant to drive away evil spirits and wild beasts, implying a smooth start to the new year.

Doesn't such a loud noise have a better meaning than firecrackers?

Fan Ying held a sword and opened the curtain and came out, escorted by a group of imperial guards.

Li Yue, who gripped the knife tightly and was ready to deal with Zhao Hanzhang, was startled when he saw her. When he realized that there was no one behind her, his expression changed drastically, "Where is Zhao Hanzhang?"

Fan Ying sneered, "How dare you mention His Majesty's name? You are a traitor and a clown!"

She ordered, "Take them all, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Drink!" the soldier responded, bursting out with strong fighting spirit.

Not to mention Li Yue and others who were surrounded in the middle, even Li Xiong and others standing in the distance could feel the killing intent coming towards their faces.

Fighting is all about energy. Before the battle, there is food and strategy. But on the battlefield, when swords are facing each other and swords are facing each other, whoever has the strongest fighting spirit will have more vitality.

Now, the defeat has been decided.

Li Xiong's face flickered in the firelight, and there were joy and fear, sadness and anger that he couldn't express in his eyes. It was so complicated that his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Li Yue and others were pressed by the imperial army and knelt down in front of Fan Ying. Fan Ying turned sideways and saluted not far away, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hanzhang walked out of the darkness, with Zeng Yue and Xun Fan following her.

Under the pressure of the soldiers, Li Yue tried his best to turn his head and look. It was Xun Fan's tent. He knew that it was the uncle of the deposed emperor. He was old and immortal. He was very particular about etiquette and had no power to tie a chicken. He was wary of Zeng Yue and even sent Everyone focused on Fan Ying, but they didn't consider him.

He is just a relative of the former dynasty who will eventually be exhausted and die. He can even raise him after killing Zhao Hanzhang, and use the name of deposing the emperor to plunge the world into a whirlpool of contention for throne again.

He did not expect that Zhao Hanzhang would be in his tent. It was the only tent that was not lit up in the dark night. Not a ray of light fell on it, making everyone ignore it.
