Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 666 Unrest (2)

  The city gate was breached, and the Marquis of Guangping would soon lead his troops to rush outside the palace gate.

Now how to do?

   Everyone's faces were somber and their hearts were panicked, like a huge boulder reaching the top.

  Lu Mingyu suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart and said coldly, "Don't panic! Even if the Marquis of Guangping leads the troops into the city gate, they will be stopped by General Liang halfway."

   Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War tightened his brows and said in a low voice, "General Liang has brought 40,000 imperial guards, and the Meng family's army has a total of 80,000, and most of them are veterans who have experienced battles. I don't know how long General Liang will be able to resist, and whether they can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

The    Royal Forest Army is also a good soldier, but he usually stays in the capital to guard the palace. Less than 30% of the people who actually fought and killed people. And the number is far less than the Meng family army.

   When the two armies fight against each other, the one who loses must be the Royal Forest Army. Now I can only hope that Liang Dalang can resist for a while and a half, until King Xingyang leads his troops to come to the rescue.

  Lu Mingyu exhaled a turbid breath, and his voice returned to calm: "No matter what, the palace gate will be dispatched immediately. Come on, pass my order, order Colonel Liang to order troops immediately. I will personally go to the palace gate to guard!"

   As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Qiao grabbed her hand: "Mingyu! You can't go!"

Empress Qiao blurted out, in a hurry, she could not speak politely: "Meng Hui is cruel and ruthless. The emperor is dead, and no one can suppress him. The palace is coming. You must never fight him head-on!"

Lu Mingyu held Empress Qiao's hand with a backhand and comforted her gently: "Don't panic, Queen Mother. King Xingyang will soon lead troops to reinforce, as long as you block the Marquis of Guangping for a while! General Liang's ability should be trusted by Queen Mother. .I led the troops to the palace gate just in case."

   In case the Marquis of Guangping really led the troops to rush outside the palace gate, if she was there, he would be able to defend the palace gate.

  If even the imperial palace is breached and the dignity of the Great Wei royal family is gone, wouldn’t anyone dare to covet this throne? Therefore, there must be someone guarding the palace gate.

   Of course, Queen Qiao will not understand the truth.

   There are four princes outside the palace, but now, how dare the fourth prince come into the palace.

   Right now, Lu Mingyu is the most suitable candidate.

   Queen Qiao's nose was sour, her eyes were red, she slowly let go, and said in a low voice, "I'm so sorry for you."

   Lu Mingyu, the crown princess, has not had her birthday in a few days. First, there was a night attack on the Yan army barracks, and then a thousand miles to go to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion to fight. Today, they have to lead troops to guard the gate of the palace.

  Lu Mingyu didn't have time to say more: "Now is not the time to talk about this. The queen mother and all the adults stay here. If there is any change, immediately send a letter to Donghuamen."

After    finished speaking, he hurried out of the Wenhua Hall.

Queen Qiao wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and then raised her head, she had calmed down a little: "Now is the most difficult time, if you get through it, you will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon. My lords, stay with Ben Gong in the Wenhua Hall. ."

   This probably means that if you have to rely on you, no one can rely on yourself. As soon as Lu Mingyu left, Queen Qiao was visibly stronger.

   Old Qiao Ge sighed in his heart, and he was the first to say: "Old minister respectfully follows the decree of the mother and the phoenix."

  …

   There were 20,000 imperial guards, 1,000 guarded in the Wenhua Hall, and about 2,000 guarded outside the palaces of the harem. Those who can be mobilized are 17,000 people.

  There are four palace gates in the palace, each of which must be guarded. In this way, the manpower is scattered, which is not much.

   "Prince Concubine," Liang Erlang said anxiously, his words trembling slightly: "The people in the Wenhua Palace do not move, and the staff of the rest of the palaces should be transferred back!"

  Lu Mingyu said: "No need. First stop the inside and then the outside! If there is another turmoil in the palace, it will be a complete chaos."

  The Marquis of Guangping was making trouble outside, and Concubine Meng in the harem had to watch closely.

   Liang Erlang had to answer.

  Lu Mingyu said quickly: "Four thousand people are sent to each palace gate first. There are still five thousand people left to support. I will go to Donghua Gate now."

  Donghua Gate is the largest palace gate and the closest to the Imperial Street. If she was replaced by the Marquis of Guangping, who led the troops to attack the palace, she would definitely choose the nearest Donghua Gate.

   Liang Erlang responded one by one.

Lu Mingyu didn't ask about    deploying troops and so on, and handed it all over to Liang Erlang. The letter was so heavy that Liang Erlang was so moved by his blood that he ordered soldiers with a hoarse voice.

  Lu Mingyu's side is the prince concubine's personal soldiers who are loyal to her.

   The personal soldiers followed the master, and one of them couldn't help sighing: "I knew that there were such a shocking change in the palace, and all the personal soldiers should have come into the palace."

   When Lu Mingyu returned to Beijing that day, he brought 2,000 personal soldiers back to Beijing. Only this hundred people entered the palace. The rest went back to the Grange.

   If you bring them all into the palace, there will be more people who can use them.

   Now what's the use of saying that.

  Lu Mingyu didn't say much, and walked all the way to the outside of Donghua Gate. Not long after, the 4,000 Imperial Forest Army came hurriedly. Liang Erlang personally brought people over.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes swept away. The soldiers of the royal forest carried long knives on their waists, and half of them carried bows and arrows.

With an order   , the guards of the King's Forest with bows and arrows gathered in front. Those with long knives spread out on guard. With the whistle as an order, when the whistle sounded, they all gathered in one place.

   Liang Erlang couldn't help but leaned forward and asked Lu Mingyu in a low voice, "Miss, the last general and brother led 40,000 people. I don't know if they can resist the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Marquis of Guangping."

   For some reason, his heart beat fast, up and down, and he felt uneasy.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Liang Erlang and said nothing of comfort: "I don't know how long he can hold back."

  If General Liang was still there, he would definitely be able to resist the Marquis of Guangping.

   It's hard to say how long he can support Liang Dalang.

   Liang Erlang took a deep breath and clenched the long sword in his hand.

   There were sudden footsteps outside the palace gate. The expressions of the guards in the imperial forest were condensed, Liang Erlang's scalp tightened, and he roared loudly: "There is an enemy attacking..."

   "Don't be nervous." Lu Mingyu frowned and interrupted Liang Erlang: "Listen to the footsteps, there are at most four or five hundred people. It's not the Marquis of Guangping!"

   Liang Erlang listened carefully, and it really did.

   The movement outside the palace gate is definitely not an attack from an army.

   The guards of the royal forest who were cautious and tense also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Open the door!"

  The sound passed through the thick palace gate, and it was a little unreal when it came into my ears. However, Lu Mingyu immediately heard who it was.

   Fourth Prince Li Xian!

   The guard guarding the palace gate said in a low voice, "Niangniang, the Fourth Highness is here for the third time today."

  The day just dawned, and he was blocked back.

  Before noon, I heard that the Marquis of Guangping was approaching outside the city and was about to enter the palace again, but was still blocked.

   Now that the Marquis of Guangping has led his troops into the city, the fourth prince could no longer hold back, and came with all his personal soldiers: "Hurry up and open the door! I want to see the father!"
