Chapter 712: Seizing Power and Counterattack Ten

Yan Yi said at this time: "Zuo Xiang said that he would return the pressure to Zhao Ke and let them know that the situation is not what they want. The troops face the imperial city and disrupt their layout. With changes, we can find opportunities in it."

Li Zhong looked at Yan Yi in surprise. The latter touched his head embarrassedly and laughed: "Sir Zuo Xiang, this is just a foolish opinion. If you say something wrong, please don't be surprised."

Li Zhong shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't think so much about it. Political aspects are not my strengths, but in terms of military terms, an army suddenly came across from you. Although the number of people is far less than that of yourself, it is not too small or too weak. If you are the head general of the army, what is your first reaction?"

Li Xun immediately understood and said, "Exploration and caution."

If an army suddenly comes to the opposite side, the number is not too large, but not too small. Although the number of troops on his side is far greater than that, he will not immediately launch an attack as soon as he discovers the enemy. Instead, he will carefully mobilize the army and send scouts to investigate. After he has figured out the details of the opponent, he will choose to fight or not. Li Zhong asked Li Xun to lead 6,000 troops to the imperial city, and was preparing to use the opponent's intentions to delay time for himself.

A personal soldier entered the room and brought Li Zhong's armor. This armor was a bit old. It was the ninth year of Guangyuan, when Zhao Zhi was 45 years old. In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed.

Since the plan has been decided and everyone is not talking too much, Li Zhong quickly put on his armor and led Li Xun and others to Yang Daolin.

Here in Yang Daolin, the seven thousand soldiers were commanded by Liu Bihui and Zhou Qian, and launched a fierce attack on the imperial guards.

Hu Zhibing had sent two thousand soldiers guarding here earlier. Facing the sudden attack of Liu Bihui and others, he was caught off guard. In a short time, he suffered heavy losses. If Hu Zhibing had not come in time, this place would have been over.

Although Hu Zhibing led two thousand reinforcements to arrive in time to block the opponent's fierce attack, the situation was still not optimistic and was compressed into a group, and I am afraid that it will not last long. However, Hu Zhibing was very confident. In his opinion, the imperial guards in other urban areas would arrive soon, and then all situations would immediately reverse.

Unfortunately, Hu Zhibing probably couldn't see such a situation, because it was not the imperial guards in other urban areas who arrived here first, but Li Zhong.

Li Zhong brought not many people, only about 1,500 people, but his arrival was a huge shock to the entire battle situation and the minds of all the soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zhong was a myth and an idol to all the generals of the Jin Dynasty. His arrival greatly encouraged and improved the morale of Liu Bihui and others. For Hu Zhibing's side, his morale blow was a catastrophic destruction.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, the treatment and identity of your imperial soldiers will not change. If you resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die."

Li Zhong's words immediately defeated the only remaining soldiers of the imperial guards. In the last bit of stubborn resistance, many soldiers began to put down their weapons and give up resistance.

"General, let's go quickly."

The personal soldiers from both sides pulled Hu Zhibing to Yang Daolin's backyard, preparing to climb over the wall and escape from there.

Hu Zhibing's face was pale and laughed sadly: "A group of idiots don't listen to good words. A royal city actually needs to use 50,000 people to give me an extra 10,000 troops. How could he end up like this? It's over, it's all over."

Hu Zhibing persuaded Zhao He several times that with the cooperation of the General Changsun Wuyang of the Yulin Guard, the imperial city was no longer hindered. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the imperial army should not go to the imperial city. Concentrate all their strength and completely control the entire Fengjing. This is the best choice. Unfortunately, Zhao He did not listen. He was worried that after Changsun Wuyang controlled the imperial city, he immediately promoted King Zhao Ke of Hengshan to the throne. At that time, the situation would be troublesome. Hu Zhibing put forward another suggestion, concentrating the nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, including Li Zhong, Yang Daolin, etc., Zhao He was afraid of offending the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, so he could not get their support later, so he finally chose to refuse.

Hu Zhibing made the final request, excluding Yan Yi's 5,000 men and other soldiers who were performing patrol missions outside, half of the remaining 40,000 soldiers from the imperial guards were given to An Guoqing and half of them, that is, 20,000 soldiers. In this way, Hu Zhibing still had enough confidence to control the situation in Fengjing.

Zhao He agreed to this request.

An Guoqing was not as good as Hu Zhibing in all aspects, but he followed Zhao He much earlier than Hu Zhibing. Therefore, Zhao He trusted An Guoqing far more than Hu Zhibing. Therefore, after the incident, Zhao He actually handed over the command of the imperial guards to An Guoqing, not Hu Zhibing.

Zhao He agreed to Hu Zhibing and divided the imperial guards into two, and also told An Guoqing. However, when it came to actual operation, An Guoqing, who had the command of the imperial guards, only gave Hu Zhibing 10,000 troops. Moreover, these 10,000 imperial guards were not Hu Zhibing's elite. The 10,000 elite troops trained by Hu Zhibing were detained in his own hands by An Guoqing.

Hu Zhibing was very angry and dissatisfied with this, but he had no choice but to put the overall situation first at the critical moment. He could not have internal strife before things were done.

Hu Zhibing and others arrived at the backyard, and hundreds of soldiers who stayed here surrounded him. They already knew about the outside. Hu Zhibing retreated here now, indicating that the fight was over.

"General, how to deal with Yang Daolin, whether..."

The officer guarding Yang Daolin whispered to Hu Zhibing, reaching out to make a move to wipe his neck, which was obvious.

Hu Zhibing glanced at the room with lights on. There were several loyal Yang Daolin servants standing outside. They were holding sticks in their hands and looked here nervously.

Hu Zhibing pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, the key is Li Zhong. Li Zhong has escaped from the trap now. Whether to kill Yang Daolin or not is of little use. Stay at the forefront of being a human being, so we can meet each other in the future."

Hu Zhibing finally decided to let Yang Daolin go. At this time, he could already feel in his heart that Zhao He's coup might...

Hu Zhibing led hundreds of people to break through, but Li Zhong did not send anyone to chase him, and there were more important things waiting for him to do.

The siege was lifted, and Yang Daolin was helped out of his mansion. When he saw Li Zhong, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Li Zhong, if you don't come again, I will lead someone to fight Hu Zhibing to the death."
