Chapter 1147 The troops are coming

What appeared outside Ganlu Temple was naturally not the army of the Western Wei Dynasty, but the troops led by Hu Luguang who had traveled all the way from Fukou day and night.

Hu Luguang knew that the focus of his trip was to cut off the emperor's connection with the surrounding areas, so he first sent a team of troops to bypass Ganlu Temple and go directly to the upper reaches of Liao River to station, so that Jinyang's personnel could be transferred A little interception. And he himself led the rest of the army to follow to implement the blockade of Liaoyang.

When Gao Guiyan realized that the visitor was evil, he immediately ordered all the troops stationed inside and outside Ganlu Temple to be summoned and lined up to meet the enemy. The soldiers did not expect that there would be an enemy attack in Liaoyang. Because the enemy's situation was not clear yet, they were a little nervous for a while.

While Gao Guiyan was still patrolling inside and outside and arranging formations, the troops from the rear of the invading brigade also appeared outside Ganlu Temple. When Gao Guiyan saw this group of troops, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He was stunned on the spot and didn't react for a long time.

Not only because this group of troops also wore the banner of Qi Jun Guards, but also because among the soldiers riding horses at the front of the team, one of them was his son!

"Back off, back off, back into the temple!"

It took more than ten breaths for Gao Guiyan to react. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the people arrayed outside the temple to withdraw into the temple quickly and not to stay outside any longer.

The soldiers were a little surprised by this capricious military order, but seeing Gao Guiyan repeatedly giving orders, they could only obey. There were quite a few people in the team who noticed the anomaly of the coming division and brigade. Even if they didn't know Gao Guiyan's son, they still knew the uniforms and flags of the Forbidden Army and some of the soldiers. Therefore, when they saw the appearance of the intruder, they couldn't help it. More surprise.

After driving the people outside the temple back to the temple in some embarrassment, Gao Guiyan looked to the opposite side with a look of suspicion and anger. After a careful search, he discovered Xianyang King Hu Luguang and others in the team. Many of the generals of the Forbidden Army were still his subordinates, which naturally made him even more frightened and angry.

"Why are you disciples here? If you didn't summon us, you are here with the intention of causing trouble!"

If a strange enemy approached Liaoyang, Gao Guiyan would still be wary and fearful. However, seeing that there were all his colleagues and subordinates in the Forbidden Army, and even his son, Gao Guiyan could not help but be a little overconfident. He only led a few dozen of his confidants. The soldiers rode forward, raised the whip in their hands, pointed at the opponent and shouted loudly.

"Aye, I..."

When Gao Guiyan's son saw his father riding his horse forward and asking, he couldn't help but speak out first, and looked back with some worry at Hu Luguang, who was not far away.

Hu Luguang simply waved his hand, motioning to the sergeants nearby to push aside for now, and said to Gao Guiyan's son: "Your Majesty, you can go directly to King Ping Qin and tell the capital affairs in detail, so that King Ping Qin can make appropriate choices, and don't make mistakes for yourself or others." people."

After hearing this, Gao Guiyan's son hurriedly bowed to Hu Luguang to thank him, and then galloped straight towards his father. Hu Luguang is not worried that after the father and son get together, they will retreat to Ganlu Temple and ignore him. It should be noted that dozens of men and women in Gao Guiyan's family are still in custody in Yedu, and it is not necessary for him to bring these thousands of soldiers. Vegetarian.

"Aye, great changes have taken place in the capital. The prince has listened to evil words..."

Seeing his father again, Gao Guiyan's son suddenly burst into tears and talked about the suffering and torture his family had suffered in the past period, and the series of arrests and trials against him by the officials of the Governor's Office. Tell everything about it.

"Shut up! We'll talk about family matters later. Let me ask you, why did King Xianyang lead his army here, and why did you come with the army?"

Although Gao Guiyan was worried about the safety of his family these days, it was obviously not the time to inquire carefully about what happened to his family. There were more important things waiting for him to figure out, so he immediately interrupted his son's complaints. , opened his mouth and asked.

"My son, I don't know, but I was detained under the Governor's Mansion of the Prison State before. It was King Changshan who sent people into the prison to rescue my son, and arranged for my son to go with King Xianyang here..."

Hearing his father's question, the guy shook his head and said. When he saw his father's eyes turned evil, he quickly said: "It should be that drastic changes have occurred in Jinei. On the way, I heard that King Xianyang Chang The generals and soldiers discussed the harsh words of Xianggong Yang and other Han ministers in the court, saying that they need to remonstrate with Your Majesty this time. Also, King Changshan and King Changguang also attended the meeting, so I stayed in Kinai Tai Province for a short time. Seeing that they are all subordinates of the two kings, they are in charge of the cardinals..."

Although the answer was still unclear, the information revealed in it was enough for Gao Guiyan to digest it for a while.

He glanced at Hu Luguang opposite him again, couldn't help but take a breath, and said in a deep voice: "How dare the two kings collude with the ministers and generals to cause trouble? Aren't they afraid of the Supreme..."

At this point, his tone suddenly paused. He recalled the emperor's current state in his mind. He was afraid that he no longer had enough energy to put down this rebellion. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel silent again.

"King Xianyang sent you here, what do you have to say to me?"

After a moment of silence, Gao Guiyan asked again. When he saw his son shaking his head in confusion, he became even more angry. He whipped up his whip and wanted to whip this scoundrel who didn't know anything about anything. It was clear that something like this happened in Duji. An important personnel incident occurred, and as a result, apart from crying and complaining about the mistreatment of the prince's subordinates, he was unable to provide any useful information.

Since he could not count on his son, he rode his horse forward for some distance, and shouted to invite Hu Luguang to come forward and answer questions. Hu Luguang did not hesitate to refuse this, and directly led several of his entourages to come forward. He clasped his fists at Gao Guiyan from a few feet away and said, "I came without telling you. It is indeed rude. Please forgive me." "

"I am afraid that the person King Xianyang wants to ask for forgiveness is not me, but the Supreme Being! The Supreme Being knew that there were rebels in Ji, and he was extremely angry. He asked me to go ahead and warn the disciples outside. If you still don't repent, don't blame the national law for not allowing it! The previous envoy I have gone to Jinyang to gather an army to come south to meet him, but if Cao Ruo remains evil and disrespectful, he will bury his bones here, causing harm to his wife and children!"

Gao Guiyan looked at Hu Luguang and said coldly, "Let's not talk about the specific situation for now. We need to be confident and confident first."

After hearing this, Hu Luguang just bowed slightly and said: "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. I don't worry about the welfare of Guang's wife and children. However, Your Majesty's recent family affairs must have been informed by your son. There is no lack of heated discussion among the disciples in the region. , all said that the prince's law enforcement was too strict.

How can it be that the king's elders and distinguished ministers should be subjected to humiliation by petty officials with swords and pens? King Kinei Changshan was also deeply dissatisfied with this, and strongly advised the prince to treat meritorious officials better, so he rescued the king's family from prison and put them in his residence. He asked the king not to take this seriously anymore and promised the king that such a thing would never happen again. If it happens, Your Majesty, please feel free to stay here and do your duty as a guard. "

Gao Guiyan's face turned dark when he heard this. He was obviously a close confidant on the side of the emperor and the prince, but he was stabbed in the back by the prince, making him feel as if he was willing to be humble if he continued to be loyal to the emperor and the prince.

"The King of Xianyang does not need to think about him. You have led your troops to offend without being summoned. Quickly dismount, remove your armor, and follow me inside to plead guilty. This is your only chance of survival! If you are still stubborn and unwilling to plead guilty, then It is self-destruction and no one can save it!”

Naturally, he would not directly change his attitude and stance simply by sowing discord, but still scolded him with a cold face.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to make such useless remarks. I will not give up easily now. And I am just a vanguard. I cannot make any promises to Your Majesty. I just ask Your Majesty to lead his troops to stay in Ganlu Temple. I will do my duty as a guard, and a distinguished person will come here later to discuss the plan with the king."

After saying this, Hu Luguang turned around and rode back to his own troops, ignoring the reactions of Gao Guiyan and the armored soldiers in the temple. He led the army to this point and had no authority to negotiate for recruitment and surrender. As long as he could ensure that the emperor could stay in Ganlu Temple until King Changshan arrived, the task would be considered completed.

In such an important and sensitive matter, doing too much may not be a good thing. Although Hu Luguang does not have high political wisdom, he still has this consciousness.

When Gao Guiyan saw Hu Luguang withdrawing, he took his son and confidants back to the temple with a heavy heart. When he saw the generals gathered around to ask about their plans, he just waved his hands with a cold face and told them to restrain their troops. Camp crowd, don’t be lax and lazy.

After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The Supreme Being needs to rest at this moment. If you are not necessary, please do not enter and cause trouble!"

His Majesty the Emperor is critically ill. Gao Guiyan is worried that once he learns about this, his physical condition may be even more dangerous due to his excitement, so he plans to hide the matter from the Emperor for the time being.

The specific situation in Yedu and what King Changshan wants is unknown at the moment. But what is certain is that if the emperor dies suddenly here, then the situation of the Ganlu Temple soldiers will become extremely bad. Not only have they lost the bargaining chip and confidence to negotiate with external rebels, but even if the emperor dies, they will probably be blamed and bear certain responsibilities!

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to keep the emperor's life safe, and wait for the arrival of King Changshan and others, so that they can make plans for war or peace. Therefore, after Gao Guiyan strictly ordered the generals not to interfere with the emperor, he personally went to the emperor's chamber to guard him day and night, and did not dare to leave for a moment.

Fortunately, King Changshan did not keep him waiting for too long. Just two days after Hu Luguang arrived, he led the Yedu troops to Liaoyang in a mighty manner. This group of troops was not the only one who arrived at the same time. After receiving the order, the northern brigade that had been summoned before also crossed the Bafu Ridge and came straight to the south!
