Chapter 169

After Qi Heng's injury was wrapped up, Han said to him, "you are not an outsider, so I won't be polite to you. I have just received a letter from Emperor Han. The eldest princess of Dening has come to the capital with her detachment of women and private soldiers. However, the four gates of the capital are now occupied by the rebels, and the princess's men can't get in at the foot of the city. Now the Empress Dowager and others in the palace are in danger. Would you like to take someone to fight for the eldest princess? "

Qi Heng pondered, "our Qi family has always been deeply favored by the emperor. Now there are villains who make trouble. We really shouldn't stand by and watch. It's just that there are only a few people under me. Although I look at them a lot, their combat power is not as good as that of your bodyguards. I'm afraid that the rebels at the upper gate will hit the stone with their eggs. "

After hearing this, the Han family became silent. There were only four or five hundred bodyguards and servants in the Shen family. Shen Mingchang went to the imperial mausoleum and took 20 of the best. According to the chief bodyguard's investigation, there are four or five thousand rebels in each gate. The Shen family's hands and the Rong Palace's hands together can only kill 1500 people. They are not their opponents at all. What's more, since the rebels occupied the gate, they must have controlled the fort. If you act rashly, you will be killed by the other party in an instant.

At this time, the army of the eldest princess Dening had already been on the way. By this time, the scouts she sent out had returned, and the news was not optimistic. The rebels had occupied four gates of the capital.

When she heard the news, the eldest princess of Dening frowned. She didn't worry about the soldiers guarding the city. What she was afraid of was the guns used to defend the enemy at the gate of the city. Those guns were designed and built by Gaozu himself, and they are still powerful today.

At this time, Han said, "as far as I know, there is a small square mountain more than 20 miles east of the north gate, which is a natural barrier for the north gate. But there is a sheep's intestines path, which can lead directly to wansonglin of the Cultural Academy. "

The eldest princess of Dening glared at him and said, "I've been talking for a long time, but I just want to talk about the point? Hurry up and lead the way

Several disciples of the Han Emperor's master were waiting on his side. When he saw that his master was stunned by his mother-in-law, he didn't dare to reply. He was very sympathetic.

At this time, the people in the capital already knew the news of rebellion. Some timid people packed their bags and wanted to escape outside the city. They were stopped at the gate of the city. Some who wanted to enter the city were stopped outside. Some brave people who wanted to break into the city were killed by the rebels. There were corpses all over the city gate, wailing.

At this time, a large number of people who want to enter the city have gathered outside the gate of the north city. Most of them go out of the city in the morning to go home, but now they are baffled outside the city. Even if he was not angry, he didn't dare to break through when he saw the bloody situation at the root of the city wall. I can only wait outside the city and cry.

When the rebels who were guarding the city were upset by the howling of these people, the eldest princess of Dening had led people to enter the city secretly from the Cultural Academy. They left their horses more than twenty miles away in the early morning, so the rebels didn't hear anything.

Although the eldest princess of Dening is over 60 years old, she is still walking like a flying horse when she climbs up the mountain. After she climbed to the top of the mountain, the scouts in front of her came to report that "Princess Liang, Princess Lezhen and Rongjun are fighting with the rebels guarding the North City, and the situation is not very favorable for them."

Hearing the speech, Dening quickly said, "hurry up, let the people who have come up to support the princess."

Because the Wenhua Academy was on holiday, there were only dozens of guards in charge of the gate. At first, they thought someone was going to rob the collection. After meeting the token of the eldest princess of Dening, they opened the gate of the academy and let them pass.

It turned out that Shen Tian and Le Zhen were led by a servant of the house of internal affairs. They climbed from the dog hole in a remote cold palace to the outside of the palace to ask for help. She didn't want to wait to die, so she had to take the initiative to attack. The Empress Dowager didn't have a good way, so she agreed to her idea and gave her the token of the CI Ning palace. Princess Lezhen volunteered to join us. She saved Shen Tian's life just now. Shen Tian can't refuse too much. Moreover, Lezhen's skill is more agile than Shen Tian's, and they can be companions together. The first thing Shen Tian thought of was her mother's loyalty to the government. When she arrived at the government, Han and others were at a loss. When Shen Tian heard that there were not enough people, he didn't say a word. First, he took the token and Yizhi from the CI Ning palace and strolled around the gathering place of the palace to gather the private soldiers of the palace. Logically, there should not be only such a few people, but they can't stand it. Some people want to watch the fire from the other side, and they want to talk about the conditions. Shen Tian didn't care to talk with these people. A thousand people from his royal family, a thousand people from the Zhou royal family, and 800 people from the Duke's family who heard the news, together with more than 1000 people from the king of Rongjun and more than 200 people from Shen's family, managed to make up 4000 people.

What she thought was that Yangtian mountain was in the northwest of the capital. If the people of Princess Dening wanted to go to Beijing, they would go to the north city. Shen Tian is ready to open the north gate at all costs to meet the eldest princess.

What she didn't know was that the rebels would attack the emperor at the same time. In case the emperor and his party break through the siege of the rebels, they will return to Beijing from the north gate. So the rebels gathered more than ten thousand men and horses to hide on the tower just in case.

Shen Fu's spies thought that the north gate, like other gates, had only four or five thousand people and gave Shen Tian the wrong information. It was not until Shen Tian handed over his hand that he found that there were so many people on the other side. But we have to fight to the end.

These rebels were all strictly trained. They were much more powerful than Shen Tian's men and horses, and the number of the other side was so large that they immediately gained the upper hand. Shen Tian saw that his side had been surrounded by the rebels, so he was nervous. Just then, a group of soldiers sprang out from the south. Without saying a word, they began to fight with the rebels. Shen Tian's pressure was greatly reduced.

Shen Tian didn't know these soldiers, but Princess Lezhen, who had been trained by the eldest princess of Dening for many years, recognized them at a glance, especially the women soldiers in red. Suddenly surprised to Shen Tian and Qi Heng said, "it's granny Dening's people. We're saved."
