Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 58 Aspires to behead

In less than a month, Huan Xuan seemed to be in his teens. How could he figure out why he was defeated?

You should know that he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers around Jiankang! Liu Yu and others in Beifu were only tens of thousands when they rose up, but these tens of thousands of people defeated his hundreds of thousands of troops in less than a month. Are their people made of paper?

I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out. But that's how he is. The more he can't figure it out, the more he has to think about it, which makes him almost mentally ill now.

Now in Jiangling City, there are less than 10,000 soldiers, and only a few generals are also pregnant. There are still people in other parts of Jingzhou, but they are all in the hands of other members of the family, and he can't adjust it at all. What worries him most is that there is also a disharmony within their Huan family. Unexpectedly, someone asked him to abdicize and hand over the position of the head of the family.

Huan Xuan has nothing left now. If he hand over the position of the head of the family, he will really become the commander of the pole. Once the Beifu army comes, I'm afraid he will not even have a place to escape.

The only thing that comforts Huan Xuanxin is Bian Fanzhi. At present, only he is loyal to his side, so that he can really understand what adversity is.

In view of the current unstable situation in Jiangling, Huan Xuan has been studying with Bian Fanzhi to give up Jiangling and go to Shuzhong for development in the past few days.

In fact, Bian Fanzhi also tends to retreat into Shu. The problem is that these Jingzhou soldiers are afraid of not going with them again.

Without soldiers and no generals, what did their brothers go to Shuzhong for? It's better to find a place to hide and be a rich man!

This afternoon, the scout came to report and found a team of warships on the river. Although there were only 20 warships, they also scared Huan Xuan. The first feeling to him was that the leading troops of the Beifu Army were coming. What are they waiting for? Pack up and get ready to run!

Although the night is very deep, Huan's mansion has never stopped, which is why it is still heavily guarded, but it makes Lu Qiang think that Huan Xuan is afraid of death. His mansion has always been like this!

Although Bian Fanzhi also supported Huan Xuan to avoid Shu, he did not advocate this. He thought that he should rely on the location, teach the invading Beifu army a hard lesson, and find the confidence he had lost, so that even if he retreated, someone would be willing to follow them.

But the problem is that Huan Xuan has been scared out of courage, which is worse than the frightened birds. Does he still have the courage to fight with the Beifu army?

Looking at Huan Xuan like a hot pot ant, Bian Fanzhi thought for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huan Xuan.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Your Majesty anymore, and call me the same as before."

"Yes, lord, I think we still have a deck of cards in our hands, so we can make use of it."

Huan Xuan was stunned at first. Of course, he knew that Bian Fanzhi meant Sima Dewen, but shook his head and said, "Other people don't know that it's not an abandoned emperor. If he is pushed out and seen through, it may be counterproductive."

Bian Fanzhi smiled and said, "Just because no one knows the true identity of the waste, it is easy to use. My subordinates heard that Liu Yi and Liu Yu are at peace. We do not contact one of them and exchange this waste to let us enter Shu safely. As long as we enter Shu and rely on the natural danger of the road in Shu, no No matter whether it's Liu Yi or Liu Yu, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get in, and as long as we are given enough time, we can refresh ourselves and make a comeback."

Not to mention, this method is good. However, when it comes to the resurreation, Huan Xuan has little confidence.

Huan Xuan couldn't help nodding and said, "It's not too late. Send someone to do it immediately tomorrow. Is the ship ready?"

"Don't worry, my subordinates are all ready"

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside, followed by someone shouting: "Lord, the yard where the abandoned emperor was imprisoned suddenly caught fire"

What? Is the yard where the abandoned emperor is imprisoned on fire?

Huan Xuan couldn't help looking at Bian Fan's eyes in surprise. At this critical moment, there was a sudden fire there, and the fool could guess that there was something wrong. He also knew that the vigilance there was not tight, but after all, it was under his eyes. Who would have thought that something would happen there?

Bian Fanzhi was not sure. To put it bluntly, at first, his mind was the same as Huan Xuan. He just regarded Sima Dewen as a backup card and did not pay more attention to it. Now he wants to pay attention to it, but it is too late.

Follow Huan Xuan to the courtyard and look up. You can see the fire not far away. I don't know how the fire was lit. It was so big that it seemed impossible to save it. Outside the courtyard was full of calls for firefighting and footsteps running this way.

"Lord, I guess someone wants to divert our attention and must strengthen the patrol in the city and the inspection at the gate."

Bian Fanzhi, the queen of the horse, is very competent, but it seems that he wants to prove his words. Huan Xuan hasn't been waiting to react yet! Another rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, a soldier was seen rolling in from the outside.

"Report, a group of people just emerged from there. While the brothers were unprepared, they suddenly attacked the north gate and killed more than a dozen of our brothers. Now they have been killed out of the city. Because it was too dark to see the situation outside clearly, General Fu asked for an order to chase them out."

This time, Bian Fanzhi's heart is also cold, and he is still chasing fart! Obviously, they are well-planned. On such a night, when people in the city are in panic, they use the fire to attract the attention of the defenders, and then save Sima Dewen.

Even if you chase them out, I'm afraid you won't be able to chase them back, and you don't know if there are any ambush outside the city. Don't take advantage of the ambush to enter the city, it will be the general trend.

Huan Xuan completely collapsed this time, and his lips trembling and said, "Respect! We... Let's go, too!"

Bian Fanzhi couldn't help sighing. God doesn't bless his lord! But it's not dawn yet. In case there is an ambush outside the city, won't you go out and die?

He quickly comforted Huan Xuan, and then ordered people to seize the time to prepare for escape. Let the fire go! There is no time to save it.

I waved two servants and ordered them to take Huan Xuan back to the room first. I also had to go back to prepare. There was still a large group of people at home.

At this time, Huan Xuan is like an old man who is about to die, fear, anxiety and confusion... His whole body seemed to be emptied, and he had no strength at all. He could barely walk with the help of his subordinates.

As soon as he returned to the room and sat down, before he could take a breath, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, he turned around and found that there was a tall man in black behind him. The man's face was also covered with a black cloth, and only two shining eyes were exposed.

"No... Don't kill me"

Huan Xuan, who was extremely scared, only shouted and collapsed directly to the ground.

Looking at this person who once arrogantly pulled himself down from the emperor's throne, and now he has become like this, Lu Qiang can't hate it at all. I really wonder how such a garbage can control the government and successfully usurp the throne?

If it hadn't been for the death of Wang Shen's love in his heart like a thorn, Lu Qiang would have wanted to let him go now. Such a waste might be more useful to live than death.

After Lu Qiang rescued Sima Dewen, he secretly thought about it. At this tense moment, once Huan Xuan finds that Sima Dewen has been rescued, he is bound to search all over the city. At that time, they will also be exposed. At that time, it will be difficult for them to leave again.

It's better to fight to death than this.

After made up his mind, Lu Qiang ordered his 40 brothers to sneak into an ambush near the gate. After a fire broke out in the city, he took advantage of the chaos and came out of the gate. Then Wang Kai ordered four people to protect Sima Dewen and sneak into a people's house to hide. There is no need to kill the people, just take good care of them for the time being and don't go out to report the news.

Lu Qiang himself took He Guangsheng and six other brothers. First, he set a fire in the yard where Sima Dewen was imprisoned, and then touched in from the backyard of Huan Xuan's house in the chaos.

Lu Qiang's plan is not crazy. This is not to say that Lu Qiang is a crazy person, but his bold move after correctly analyzing the situation in the city.

Just like rescuing Sima Dewen, it is almost impossible for others to come. Even before Lu Qiang entered the city, he did not expect Huan Xuan to take Sima Dewen so seriously, which also verified Huan Xuan's incompetence from another aspect.

Huan Xuan's two servants have been killed by Lu Qiang's men. In addition to Lu Qiang and his men, Huan Xuan himself is left in the room. It's not that there is no one in Huan Xuan's family, but at this time, they are packing up and preparing to run away, so that there are several more people in Huan Xuan's room, but no one will find out.

Lu Qiang wink, and the two men immediately went up to set up Huan Xuan.

Lu Qiang thought about it, but still didn't take off his mask. If there were only two of them, he might let Huan Xuan see his true face, and then directly kill Huan Xuan and enjoy the pleasure of revenge. It's just that there are other people around him who can't be trusted, but it's not the right time yet.

Looking at Huan Xuan coldly and said, "Lord Huan, it's useless to say more. Hand over your big seal and the tiger charm, and I will spare your life."

At least Huan Xuan has usurped the throne. After a few days as the emperor, when he saw the situation like this, his mood gradually stabilized. He looked carefully at the person in front of him and felt that the eyes seemed to have seen there.

Be careful: "Are you the Beifu Army? Is it Liu Yi's people or Liu Yu's subordinates? But it's useless for you to catch me. Your subordinates won't listen to you. As long as you let me go, I promise you will leave safely."

Lu Qiang made a gesture to He Guangsheng. He Guangsheng immediately rushed over, grabbed Huan Xuan's arm, reached out and touched his arms a few times, and then took out a brocade box. After opening it, he turned around and handed it over to Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang looked at it and saw a bronze charm shaped like a tiger in the brocade box. He knew that this was the tiger charm used to transfer soldiers. In ancient barracks, most officers recognized people.

When Huan Xuan saw that the tiger charm was taken away, he suddenly became as angry as a vented ball and could no longer be angry.

"This... This general, forgive me. What do you want? What will I give you? I still have a lot of treasure..."

Lu Qiang suddenly smiled and said, "That depends on your performance. You first write an order to the city guard, let my people out of the city, and hand over the city defense to my people."

Life and death are at stake. How dare Huan Xuan not write? He picked up the pen and wrote an order on the prepared paper, and then covered Huan Xuan's big seal by Lu Qiang's men.

After seeing what had been written was taken away, Huan Xuan looked at Lu Qiang and asked carefully, "General, do we know each other?"
