Chapter 462 Parties
Fifty thousand Kyoto garrison troops rushed into Kyoto with great momentum, stepping on the corpses of the guards at the city gates.
Lin Yuanhao led 40,000 people and headed straight for the imperial city with unstoppable force.
The remaining 10,000 garrison troops wore plain clothes and disguised themselves as bandits. They were divided into four groups and marched towards Jiang, Yun, Huo's family and the Prince of Qi's Mansion respectively.
It seems that the Lin family not only wants to overthrow the rule of Emperor Tianqi, but also wants to deal with the aristocratic families and royal relatives who are hostile to them.
……
But the noble families not only have palace soldiers, but all the young and strong slaves in the palace can go to the warehouse and pick up a handy weapon and become soldiers. They will not surrender.
Moreover, the merit of attacking the imperial city was obviously greater, so Li He, who rushed here after hearing the news, initially wanted to follow Lin Yuanhao.
Not only did he want to reward him for his merits in the future, he also wanted to seize the opportunity to capture the King of Yan, kill him with his own hands, and avenge his son.
Li He's son Li Linzhong was originally doing well in Bailu Academy. But when Prince Yan visited the academy, his son died.
Li He was convinced that Prince Yan was closely related to Li Linzhong's death. Since receiving the news of his son's death, he regarded Prince Yan as his greatest enemy in his life.
However, Lin Yuanhao did not trust Li He who suddenly appeared and classified him as a "bandit". Although Li He was a little dissatisfied, he had to follow orders.
He turned his attention to Chen Ji's maternal family. Although he could not capture Prince Yan personally, if he could lead his troops to wipe out the Yun family and make Prince Yan heartbroken, he would have avenged half of his revenge.
According to the plan, 4,000 of the 10,000 "bandits" went to Prince Qi's Palace, and the remaining 6,000 were divided into three teams, attacking the Jiang family, the Yun family, and the Huo family respectively.
Li He, who was also a disciple of the Lin family and served as a military officer in Jingzhao Prefecture, had some face in front of the captain leading the team, so he successfully joined the 2,000-man team attacking the Yun family.
……
Twenty miles away from Kyoto.
The Dingzhou garrison stationed here was originally afraid that Lin Yuanfang's death might implicate Luo Xiaoran, so Chen Ji ordered them to be transferred here from Dingzhou to deter the various forces in Kyoto that were ready to make a move.
Unexpectedly, they would encounter the Lin family's rebellion. When the news came, several deputy generals were all filled with indignation.
"General, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is still trapped in Kyoto! Let's go and rescue His Royal Highness!"
"Yes! Our prince came to Kyoto to get married, how could he encounter such a terrible thing!"
"The affairs of the imperial court are troublesome! Unlike us in the North, good men fight for military merit and get promoted, without any intrigue!"
"Hurry up and rescue His Highness and the future princess. It would be great if they could have their wedding in Yizhou in the future!"
"..."
The general's brows were twisted into a knot, and facing his subordinates who were clamoring to march, he finally chose to remain silent.
His eyes fell on the secret letter on the table. It was sent by Prince Yan three days ago. It only had eight words on it: Wait and see what happens, and await my order.
Soon, urgent military information came from outside the tent:
"The scout reported—"
"Several small groups of soldiers are gathering outside Beijing, and their vanguard is heading towards our camp!"
Upon hearing this, the generals in the tent were in an uproar, and a hot-tempered deputy general slammed the table:
"How can this be?"
Apart from their Dingzhou Army, where else are the other military forces near Kyoto?
This sudden appearance of troops was obviously intended to block the Dingzhou Army's route back to Kyoto for reinforcements. In fact, in terms of numbers, their goal was to destroy the Dingzhou Army.
Thinking of this, all the generals present felt a chill down their spines and a slight panic in their hearts.
"It seems that we have been plotted into this turmoil a long time ago." The general glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice.
His hand that grabbed the command flag trembled slightly. The secret order from Prince Yan and the crisis in front of him were intertwined and collided violently in his mind.
The next moment, a strange bird cry suddenly came from outside the tent, three long and two short. The general's pupils shrank suddenly - this was the emergency contact signal of the secret guards around His Highness!
