Chapter 703: Seizing Power and Counterattack One
"Lord, go quickly, I'll cut off the rear."
Hu Zeng was injured in all four legs and ran around. He didn't want to drag Li Xun down.
"Follow your mother to break up, run."
Li Xun knew Hu Zengsi's thoughts, but there were soldiers who came forward to the imperial guards behind him. He was the only one who was useless. This was not a break from the rear, but a death sentence, and it was meaningless. So Li Xun cursed and pulled Hu Zengsi to continue running for his life.
Li Xun's actions moved Hu Zengsi to death.
Running along the way, Li Xun's expression became more and more excited. After passing this Fang Street, the inspector was almost here.
But soon, the excitement on Li Xun's face immediately turned into fear, and there were constant shouts of killing behind him, and the shouts of killing in front of him suddenly sounded. At the corner a hundred meters away, hundreds of soldiers rushed out. Looking at the color of their clothes, they recognized that these people were soldiers of the imperial guards.
Li Xun stopped and stood there blankly, his heart full of despair. Everyone fought fiercely for more than an hour, and from the south of the city to the east of the city, it was already at the end of their strength. If it weren't for the desire to survive, Li Xun would have been lying on the ground and didn't want to move. I believe Hu Zengsi and Hua Shaosheng were not strong enough. Even the powerful Jiang Daxiong, his hands holding weapons were trembling constantly. He was still tired, very tired.
But soon, Li Xun discovered that the group of imperial soldiers ran along the way, looking very flustered, looking the same as before, as if there was some danger behind him.
Dozens of arrow feathers broke through the air, and more than ten imperial guards were screaming and were killed by arrows. Behind them, the shouts of killing began to become clear. In a blink of an eye, another team of imperial guards rushed out from the corner, and the number was continuous, with more people than the group of imperial guards in front.
Li Xun immediately understood that although he didn't know what method Zhao Ke used to control the military power of the imperial guards and eventually carried out a coup, there must be a considerable number of people among the imperial guards who refused to join forces. Now the imperial guards here are killing each other, which obviously broke out in internal strife. But he didn't know whether the people who also belonged to Zhao Ke were the more than a hundred people in front or the team behind.
Jiang Daxiong picked up the big knife and was about to go forward and fight desperately. Li Xun quickly stopped him: "Bigxiong, come back."
Li Xun and four others stood against the wall without making any moves. Now they could only bet. If the large army at the corner belonged to Zhao Ke's men, there would be blocking in front and pursuers behind, and there would be only four people left on his side, and there would be only one dead end.
Li Xun leaned against the wall and stared at the team ahead. If the situation was wrong, it would be difficult for him to leave here alive today.
More than a hundred imperial guards fled in a hurry. They didn't even look at Li Xun and others standing beside him. They rushed over directly. When they saw another wave of imperial guards coming not far away, the officer in charge was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Brother in front, I am General Liu's man, Yan Yi rebelled so hard."
Yan Yi?
When Li Xun heard this name, he was overjoyed and rushed towards the other side.
"Yan Yi, I am Li Xun, save me quickly."
"Don't do it, it's your own people."
The imperial soldiers who had seen several people rushing over and were about to take action quickly stopped their actions, bypassed Li Xun and others, continued to rush forward, and fought fiercely with more than a thousand imperial soldiers who were chasing Li Xun and others.
"Brother Gou'er, it's really you. Why did you come here?"
Yan Yi asked in surprise when he saw Li Xun.
Li Xun gasped for a few breaths, nervous for a long time, and finally relaxed at this moment. Li Xun pointed to the embarrassment and scars on his body, and smiled bitterly: "Look at my appearance, do I need more to say?"
Yan Yi nodded: "It seems that something happened to you is also there."
Li Xun looked at Yan Yi and shouted in a deep voice: "Yan Yi, what happened? Did you even rebel?"
Before Yan Yi could speak, one of the two burly Asian generals standing beside him said in a deep voice: "It's not us who rebels, but the two leading deputy generals of the Central Army, Hu Zhibing and An Guoqing, rebelled."
Li Xun looked at the person who spoke. He was burly, strong in appearance, and extraordinary in temperament. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
Yan Yi quickly introduced the two Asian generals around him, Zou Meng and Zhou Qian, and the 5,000 imperial soldiers, including them, were elite soldiers of the central army and also Yuwen Zhen's old troops.
After the introduction, Yan Yi's eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice: "My father-in-law has been killed by the traitor An Guoqing, and Zhao Ke still wants to kill me. Thanks to the help of the two elder brothers Zou Meng and Zhou Qian, he escaped to death."
Then, Yan Yi told the reason for the matter.
Zou Meng and Zhou Qian, together with the five thousand imperial soldiers, were Yuwen Zhen's old troops. Zou Meng and Zhou Qian followed Yuwen Zhen for many years and were his absolute confidants. This army fought on the battlefield many times and was the elite of the central army. Yuwen Zhen had a lot of feelings for the old troops and stayed with them most of the time. Zhao Ke did not dare to do anything, so tonight Hu Zhibing and An Guoqing found a reason and tricked Yuwen Zhen into the central army camp. An Guoqing took the opportunity to murder Yuwen Zhen and helped Zhao Ke take over the military power of the central army camp. Yuwen Zhen brought more than 200 personal soldiers to break through the siege. Only three of them escaped back to Yan Yi alive and brought back the news that Yuwen Zhen had been killed.
Zhao Ke originally meant that after killing Yuwen Zhen, he arranged for the traitors in the army to take the opportunity to kill Yan Yi, Zou Meng and Zhou Qian, and let more than 5,000 soldiers in his army be in trouble. However, what he did not expect was that An Guoqing once politely won over Zou Meng, but was rejected by him. Zou Meng told Yuwen Zhen about this matter. Yuwen Zhen had a rough personality and did not think much or care. However, Zou Meng became more careful and began to defend himself. This cautiousness eventually saved Yan Yi and himself and the soldiers of the army.
The more than a thousand-man team that chased Li Xun was not the elite opponent of Yan Yi. The two sides fought for less than a quarter of an hour, and Yunfan was defeated and fled.
Li Xun comforted Yan Yi for a few words, and then asked, "What do you want to do next?"
Yan Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Ke is despicable and shameless, and I will avenge my father-in-law."
Li Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Ke has been planning to launch a coup tonight for a long time. He has 30,000 imperial soldiers in his hands, plus the Yulin Guard, and the total strength is no less than 50,000. If you go by 5,000 people, you can only die in vain."
Yan Yi said hatefully: "What do you think of? My father-in-law will die in vain?"
Li Xun looked at Zou Meng and Zhou Qian, and their eyes were on Yan Yi.
Li Xun understood that Yan Yi was just a general of the Central Army, while Zou Meng and Zhou Qian were Asian generals, with positions and qualifications much higher than Yan Yi, but they and these more than 5,000 soldiers were Yuwen Zhen’s old troops, Yan Yi was Yuwen Zhen’s son-in-law. Now Yuwen Zhen was killed. In terms of this relationship, Yan Yi was pushed to the temporary leader.
"Go to the inspection institute first. Brother Zhu also has more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands. After meeting with him, he will then discuss and act."
"Brother Gou'er, I'll listen to you and go to the inspection office to find Brother Zhu."
