Chapter 282 Luoyang Uncle
The defenders on the city wall clearly recognized Fan Chongshan, the former city gate officer, but refused to go out of the city to help immediately, instead asking him to show evidence, "The emperor can't just bring so many people to save Luoyang City, General Fan, I heard that You did well in the Suwei Army, didn't you follow a rebellion?"
Fan Chongshan was furious, "Your Majesty is outside the city, you should have seen it!"
They couldn't see it in the city. Since they were surrounded by thieves, they have not sent scouts out of the city.
Fan Cangshan was not good at words and couldn't call for help, but he was unwilling to return to his life like this. With a roar, he turned his horse's head and rushed wherever he saw the crowd, regardless of how many soldiers were following behind him. People are cut.
The camp of the Su Wei rebels gathered the most people, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. The number of rebels was small, only a few hundred, but they could mobilize thousands of bandits and thieves to jointly protect themselves. Chai Yue's army had already rushed over. The remaining Chu army was too small to gain an advantage and gradually fell into siege.
It was at this time that Fan Zangshan was killed. He was literally "killed". A long axe blocked the person and the horses were not spared. Even the soldiers of the Chu army had to stay far away to avoid accidental killing.
"Whoever blocks me will die!" The more he killed, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, the more powerful he became.
Like the previous battle at the north gate of the capital, due to the melee soon, the two sides rarely used bows and crossbows, and both sides mainly used knives and guns.
Soon he rushed into the enemy group and was surrounded by dozens of thieves. Even if there were no hidden arrows, the open spear was just as hard to defend. He slashed many enemies, but the mounts he stepped on were also stabbed one after another, and he let out a whimper. , crooked and fell.
Fan Chongshan's leg was pinned down, but fortunately, the Chu army behind him caught up in time and repelled the bandit army. Fan Chongshan pushed the dead horse away, picked up the long axe, and continued to charge forward, but at a slower speed, the long axe Dancing harder.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Fan Zangshan turned the tide of the battle by himself, but no one can replace the role he played.
The bandit army is mainly bandits, and they are most afraid of this kind of master who is extremely powerful and desperate to fight, but there are fires left by the stove everywhere in the camp. The roar spread throughout the battlefield, like a mad beast.
Seeing the Suwei rebels in the middle of the camp, Fan Chongshan was even more angry. His reputation and future were ruined by these people.
The rebels knew Fan Chongshan, and when they saw him from a distance, they were already terrified. They dared to fight with him.
The Su Wei rebels were the first to disperse, and the thieves were leaderless, and they began to flee, and they were faster and more ruthless than the rebels. They competed for horses and fought themselves.
The Su Wei rebels escaped from the camp and tried to gather all the bandits. There was still the possibility of turning back and fighting again. At this moment, the defenders in Luoyang City finally left the city.
The Chu army still did not have an advantage in numbers, but the morale of the bandit army was low, and they were eager to flee, and would not listen to the orders of Su Wei's rebel army.
The battle is coming to an end. After all, the Chu army has few people, and it is night, so it is impossible to surround the enemy army. The bandits in the bandit army are humble to each other when they fight, but they show their magical powers when they escape, and they do not choose a path. He jumped into the river, but it was the hundreds of Suwei rebels who were killed, but very few managed to escape.
When the cavalry came to report to the emperor, it was the moment when the bandit army began to disperse. He didn't see the Luoyang defenders leaving the city. Han Ruzi came to the battlefield, but saw an army rampage, rushing to harvest the heads and seize the property left by the bandit army. .
A team of Chu troops surrounded Fan Zangshan and came to the emperor's horse. Fan Zangshan was like a bloody man, and the long axe in his hand was replaced by a long spear at some point. …”
Han Ruzi jumped off his horse, stepped forward to support Fan Chongshan, and said loudly, "The first achievement in this battle is none other than General Fan."
All the Chu troops cheered loudly, and they all saw it, there was no doubt about it.
Fan Cangshan stood up, laughed twice, and looked at the Luoyang defenders suspiciously, "When did they come out?"
Regardless of the Luoyang defenders, Han Ruzi ordered the soldiers of the headquarters to gather and march to Luoyang City.
The gates of the city were wide open, and even the soldiers guarding the gates ran out to scramble for the spoils, but the emperor's order was "strictly" implemented: the whole army went out of the city to fight, leaving no one behind.
No one greeted the emperor, so Fan Zangshan changed to a horse, led the way, and headed straight to the mansion of Yin in Henan.
Unlike ordinary local officials, Henan Yin did not live in the yamen, and there was another mansion. It used to be the mansion of the prince of Henan, but now it is the mansion of the Marquis of Luoyang. The palace is pale.
The King of the East Sea looked up to watch, and couldn't stop nodding.
Someone had already notified in advance that the lanterns were hanging in front of the palace gate, bright as day, and a large number of officials lined up, but there was no Henan Yin Hanchou himself.
Fan Zangshan jumped off his horse and stood there fiercely. Many of the officials knew him, but they were also startled.
"Don't kneel to see Your Majesty?" Fan Chongshan shouted.
A few people knelt down, not because they wanted to kneel, but because their legs were so frightened that their legs went weak. Other officials knelt down one after another, but they all hesitated and refused to kowtow. Teenager on horseback.
Han Ruzi was dressed in military uniform, with only a few bodyguards beside him, neither the most conspicuous ceremonial guards nor the well-known high-ranking officials in the court, and the dozens of flags behind him still looked too shabby for the emperor.
No wonder people do not believe that this is the emperor.
Cui Teng also jumped off his horse and came to an official, "Lao Song, don't you recognize me?"
As the county chief, Lao Song's position in Luoyang is only lower than that of Henan Yin. He has seen Mrs. Cui's second son, and said hurriedly: "I know, the second son of Cui..."
Cui Teng raised his leg and kicked, "Know me but don't recognize the emperor? Do you want to be executed?"
The kick was not heavy, but Song Juncheng trembled all over, and hurriedly kowtowed, "We are ignorant, don't know the dragon face, Fu Qi forgives sins, Fu Qi forgives sins..."
Dozens of officials kowtowed together, but some couldn't help but look up and take a peek.
Cui Teng was about to teach these ignorant guys a lesson when the King of the East Sea also dismounted and came over and asked, "Did Luoyang receive the imperial edict?"
Song Juncheng kowtowed several times and replied, "Luoyang hasn't received the imperial decree for several months. Just after hearing about the update of the imperial court, it was surrounded by thieves. Therefore... I didn't know that His Majesty was here."
The King of the East Sea turned around and said, "I don't blame them for being rude, but I really didn't know it."
Han Ruzi nodded, knowing that the King of the East Sea was looking for steps for the two sides. Luoyang was a big city, not too far from the capital, and Hangu Pass was not the only passage. There was no reason for officials here to be ignorant of major affairs in the DPRK and China.
But he didn't want to break it.
Donghai Wang said: "Where's Yin Hanchou from Henan? Why don't you let him come out to pick him up?"
"Yes." Song Juncheng stepped back on his knees, stood up after a few steps, and ran to the mansion in a hurry.
Not long after, a group of people came out of the house. Most of them knelt down as soon as they went out, but a big fat man rushed to the emperor's horse, lying on the ground and wailing, "It's really Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty! There is hope in Da Chu again, and the sky has eyes. , The ancestors have spirit, the people are blessed, the clan is saved..."
This is Henan Yin Hanchou, the uncle of Han Ruzi and the King of Donghai.
Han Ruzi was still inexperienced. He didn't expect such a scene. He turned over and dismounted, and said, "My uncle, you don't need to be polite and stay flat."
Han Chou twisted his fat body like a giant bug crawling to the emperor's feet, and kowtowed, "I see that the driver is not welcome, the minister's death penalty, the minister dare not ask for mercy, please forgive me."
Han Ruzi had to bend over to help him. Han Chou was too fat, and he couldn't help him up by himself. Three guards stepped forward and worked hard to get Henan Yin to stand up.
Han Chou was of medium height, but he was fat, his face was red, and his eyes were full of tears. He stretched out his hands to touch the emperor, but he didn't dare. He retracted halfway and said in a reverent and fearful tone, "Your Majesty and Emperor Wu. Just the same!"
The ministers in the court have basically seen Emperor Wu, and no one has ever said such a thing.
But Han Ruzi couldn't refute, so he could only smile back.
Han Chou finally couldn't hold back his impulse, grabbed the emperor's hand and held it in his arms, as if it was a fragile and priceless treasure, "I went to worship when Your Majesty ascended the throne, but I didn't expect it to be a few years."
Han Chou turned to the King of the East China Sea, with tears in his smile, "King of the East China Sea, tell me, is His Majesty exactly the same as Emperor Wu?"
The King of the East Sea smiled and hummed.
Han Ruzi could no longer let the uncle speak nonsense, "Luoyang defenders are still outside the city..."
"That's a bunch of trash!" Han Chou was very angry, "I only know how to pay for the army, and when it comes to employing people, I can't count on them all. Now that Your Majesty is here, what's the use of them? Kill them, kill them all."
"That's not necessary, I want to requisition this army."
"Yes, Your Majesty allows them to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. It is very kind. They are His Majesty's army, and the whole of Luoyang belongs to His Majesty. Even I am no exception. Although I can't wield knives and guns, I can carry a few bags of food. If you can't, you can also be a horse stool for His Majesty."
Han Chou came as soon as he said it, and made a gesture to kneel down and let the emperor try whether his horse-mounted stool would fit his feet.
The guard stepped forward to support him.
Just as Han Ruzi was about to speak, Han Chou turned to the officials and shouted, "Why are you kneeling? Hold a banquet and wash the dust for His Majesty. Although Luoyang is not the capital, there are always a few things that you can get your hands on, right?"
The officials hurriedly acted, some set up a banquet, and some flocked around the emperor according to their rank, and they followed suit.
Han Ruzi didn't understand what was going on, and he had been invited into the mansion by everyone.
Luoyang sent troops slowly, but the food was served quickly. It was midnight, and the hot wine and delicacies were still delivered like a whirlwind.
Han Chou's excitement was hard to contain, and he hardly gave the emperor a chance to breathe. He quickly called out groups of descendants to see the emperor. Finally, even his wife, concubines, daughters, daughters-in-law and other female relatives called out and introduced them one by one. He was not an emperor at all. outsider.
Han Chou personally persuaded to drink, and every time he knelt on the ground, held the cup in both hands, and raised it above his head.
After a few glasses of wine, Han Ruzi knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and looked at the many officials in Luoyang who were eager to try and lined up to offer wine. Using the excuse of letting go, he motioned Donghai King and Cui Teng to go out together.
Outside the hall, Han Ruzi said to Cui Teng, "You want to make a contribution, don't you?"
"Of course, do you want to send me to Aocang?" Cui Teng was very happy.
"No, I'll let you go back, get Han Chou drunk, and let him not interfere with me for the time being."
"That's it?" Cui Teng was greatly disappointed.
"If this happens, your credit is only one level lower than that of General Fan."
"No problem, if there is still one Luoyang official who can stand up, I will be defeated." Cui Teng returned to the hall with high fighting spirit.
Han Ruzi said to the King of the East Sea, "Follow me."
The King of the East Sea glanced into the hall and said reluctantly, "Just let me live such a life."
"Don't worry, wait for the world to be at peace." Han Ruzi asked Qu Zixi to watch over Cui Teng and take the King of the East Sea and the guards out of the house. For him, the battle was not over yet.
