Chapter 3513 Escape from danger
The sudden appearance of this cavalry made the entire convoy nervous. The Fang family's soldiers quickly guarded around their carriage, with their bows and daggers unsheathed, watching eagerly, ready to fight at any time. The soldiers of the Yuwen family were also shocked. After all, the war inside and outside Chang'an is currently in chaos. No one knows what all parties are secretly thinking. At this moment, in the ice and snow outside Chang'an City, if they see this group of carriages loaded with boxes of money and silk, they will It is not impossible to rob someone ruthlessly...
Fortunately, when the cavalry team came closer, the flags in the team were fluttering in the wind, and the big word "Fang" on them made the team feel at ease.
This is the soldier of Youtun Guards.
The soldiers of the Right Guard who came were also a little confused. The main force of the army was startled and chased the defeated soldiers of the Left Guard and went upstream along the Wei River. At this moment, the two sides were fighting for the Zhongwei Bridge, and the danger was turned around near Xuanwu Gate. However, a scout came to report that a huge convoy was coming through the snow, and a team of cavalry was immediately dispatched to intercept and find out the situation.
After all, the Xuanwu Gate is the focus of everyone's attention at the moment. Gao Kan does not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Even if a rabbit approaches the Xuanwu Gate at this time, he must drive it away to avoid any danger.
When this group of cavalry arrived, they saw this huge convoy of dozens of carts, loaded with boxes and cages of goods. This was already surprising. After all, Chang'an City was already occupied by rebels at this moment, and troops were stationed at every city gate. In and out.
What is particularly surprising is that most of these carriages are actually embedded with the Fang family's family logo...
Why did the Fang family's motorcade appear here at this time?
A school lieutenant at the head rode forward and shouted loudly: "Who is in the car?"
Some soldiers from the Fang family had already come forward to greet them, clasping their fists and saying, "In the car are Her Royal Highness the Princess, Madam Wu and Madam Jin."
The servants of the Fang family usually do not call Jin Shengman princess. After all, it is difficult to distinguish between the two princesses in the family. It would be disrespectful to use the title of princess when addressing them, so they call Jin Shengman the golden lady. Jin Shengman has no intention of talking to her. Princess Gaoyang argued with each other, and this title was quite new to her, so she acquiesced.
When the school captain heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly got off his horse, trotted to the most gorgeous four-wheeled carriage in the convoy, knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute: "General Wang Xiaojie, the school captain of Youtun Guard, has an audience with Her Royal Highness the Princess! The unknown princess is here, I didn’t welcome you from far away, please forgive me!”
Princess Gaoyang lifted the car curtain, and her beautiful face appeared in the car window. She looked at the school captain who was kneeling on one knee in the snow. She saw that his face was green and green, and he was very young, but it was not surprising. Youtunwei implemented a recruitment system, which broke the bad habits of the Sui and Tang dynasties such as mixed qualifications and cliques. It not only promoted the capable and the mediocre, but also promoted and trained young generals.
She said: "Excuse me. I have no choice but to leave the city this time. Of course I will not inform you in advance. What crime do you have? I wonder what the situation is in the army?"
If the Fang family continues to stay in Chang'an City, the danger is too great. Even if she is a princess, the harm caused by those rebels if they get out of order is immeasurable. Since they couldn't enter the imperial city, they had no choice but to take shelter at the Youtunwei camp. After all, this was their own army, and everyone in the army was Lang Jun's confidant.
However, Xuanwu Gate will definitely become the focus of competition among all parties. She is not sure whether Youtun Guard can hold on to the camp and guard Xuanwu Gate.
After all, Lang Jun took away half of the elite troops when he went out to control Hexi...
Wang Xiaojie said respectfully: "The Zuotunwei rebelled earlier and colluded with a royal army to raid our camp. Now they have been defeated by our army. They are pursuing the situation and fighting fiercely near the Zhongwei Bridge. Therefore, Your Highness can rest assured. Internally solid! ”
Princess Gaoyang was suddenly shocked: "Zuotunwei rebelled?"
Wang Xiaojie said: "Exactly."
After hesitating for a moment, he reminded: "Although Zuotunwei has been defeated, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Your Highness is requested to quickly go to the camp to settle down. The general will send people back to Tongbing first."
Although he didn't know what happened in Chang'an City that caused Princess Gaoyang to drag her family out of the city like this, but since she was already here, there must be no accidents. At present, there are rebels inside and outside Chang'an. If Changsun Wuji hears that Zuotun Guard has been defeated and sends another army to attack Xuanwu Gate, they will definitely pass through here.
Princess Gaoyang nodded and said: "That's right, then I'll bother Xiaowei Wang."
"This is the duty of the general, even if he dies, he will not give up!"
Wang Xiaojie then got up and arranged for a group of soldiers to return to the camp to rule Gao Kan and prepare for the reception. He also sent some soldiers to the direction of Chang'an City to explore whether there were any traces of the enemy, and then escorted the convoy to the Youtunwei camp.
About a cup of tea, Gao Kan, who heard the news, quickly led more than a thousand cavalry to greet them. Yu Wenshiji looked from the carriage and saw the vigorous cavalry of Youtun Guard in the wind and snow, full of murderous intent, completely unaware. Looks like he just went through a big battle Looking tired, it was obvious that the Zuo Tun Guard's surprise attack did not cause too much damage to the Right Tun Guard. He sighed secretly in his heart. Chai Zhewei had made a wrong move. Even if he only escaped with his life after this battle, he would be completely expelled. It is no longer possible for the center to hold military power.
It is destined that the dukedom of his country will be taken away by Guo, and the Chai family will be lost to everyone from now on...
The situation was so urgent that Gao Kan did not come forward to meet him. Instead, he escorted the convoy all the way to the Youtunwei camp. Then he dismounted his horse and stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted him.
Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman got out of the car hand in hand and looked around, feeling shocked.
The area in front of the camp gate was scorched black, with pits on the ground and even black and red blood solidifying and freezing. Teams of soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Not far away, the broken limbs and broken arms piled up into a hill, which was even more shocking. It could be seen that this place had just experienced a thrilling battle. Great war.
Princess Gao Yang looked at Gao Kan in front of her and said softly: "General Gao guarded the Xuanwu Gate, and his hard work and merits will be rewarded by the court. However, this time there are many rebels in the city, and I am afraid that the rebels will attack the mansion, so I have to guard the entire mansion." After moving out of the city, we arrived at Youtunwei Camp and settled down temporarily. I hope the general will provide him with resettlement."
Gao Kan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the general has ordered people to vacate a barracks, and they can accommodate the family members of the mansion. It's just that the barracks are bitter and cold and crude. I hope you will forgive me for treating your Highness so slowly."
Princess Gaoyang Yingying stepped forward two steps, stretched out her palms to support her, and said with emotion: "The army is in trouble and the situation is unstable. It is not easy for the general and his subordinates to risk their lives to defend the palace. How can I do this at this time? What is the importance of hardship and simplicity? General, you can rest assured that as long as you have a place to stay, it will not cause any trouble to the general’s defense.”
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness!"
Gao Kan felt relieved...
Although he was brought down by Fang Jun from a humble position and was entrusted with important tasks before leaving, and he could be regarded as a close confidant of Fang Jun, he had never dealt with Princess Gaoyang. It's just that I often hear that His Highness is arrogant and domineering and difficult to deal with. If he is very arrogant and he has to defend Xuanwu Gate, he will inevitably be treated lightly.
At this moment, I heard that Princess Gaoyang’s words and attitude seemed reasonable and reasonable. It can be seen that rumors are spreading among people...
On the other side, Yu Wenshiji also got off the carriage and stared at the mountain-like corpses of the Zuotun Guard dead soldiers, feeling shocked in his heart.
Before this, almost everyone believed that the Zuotun Guards were fully staffed and powerful. Whoever could win over Chai Zhewei would be equivalent to taking control of the Xuanwu Sect and have an absolute advantage in this mutiny for power. , the deposing of the East Palace was even easier.
But who would have thought that King Li Yuanjing of Jing boldly attacked Xuanwumen and persuaded Chai Zhewei to form an alliance with him, but he bumped into the rock of Youtunwei and suffered a bloody head.
One can imagine how regretful and resentful the originally ambitious Li Yuanjing and the ambitious Chai Zhewei would feel now that they had lost their troops and were even chased by Youtun Guards. Not only had all their ambitions been in vain, but they might not even have come to an end. Embarrassed...
Princess Gaoyang stepped forward, saluted Wanfu, and said: "I was able to leave the city smoothly this time, thanks to the escort of Duke Ying. This kindness will never be forgotten by the Fang family."
Yu Wenshi waved his hand, looked at the extremely tragic battlefield in front of him, and sighed: "It's just a mediation. In the final analysis, I don't want to see the Changsun family and the Fang family fighting each other, leading to complete collapse of both families." Clean it up, Your Highness, no need to say thank you.”
Princess Gaoyang said warmly: "No matter what, the Fang family will appreciate it."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the family soldiers to escort the tied eldest son Wen from a carriage. He glanced at the extremely embarrassed eldest son Wen and said calmly: "This animal will be handed over to the Duke of Ying. It's just that the eldest son's family's intention this time is He is evil and cruel, and there will be consequences for the Fang family when Lang Jun returns to Beijing." (End of Chapter)
