"What? Wait!" Zhao Junsheng was shocked, and quickly stopped Hua Mulan, "Mulan, tell me clearly, what is going on?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

As soon as the question was finished, the sound of wooden planks breaking came from the opposite side of the bridge, and Zhu Xiuzhi's soldiers were seen destroying the wooden bridge.

Hua Mulan looked at it, and quickly said: "You are right. Zhu Xiuzhi's previous behaviors were all fake. Tonight, he took advantage of Shengjia's side to guard the emptiness, and suddenly launched a rebellion. The Huben army guarding the emperor was defeated. The emperor was killed Zhu Xiuzhi is killed, and all the ministers accompanying the army, let me go after him!"

Zhao Junsheng calmly listened to Hua Mulan, and then said: "Mulan, forget it, don't chase, let them go!"

"Brother Junsheng, you..." Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng in surprise.

Zhao Junsheng said: "That's right, when the alarm bell sounded, I guessed it was him, so after you left, I ordered the soldiers to come here and block his way across the river, but I let him go anyway! "

"Why?" Hua Mulan asked in disbelief.

Zhao Junsheng said: "He is a loyal minister. Although he is not loyal to Wei, not the emperor of Wei, he is always a loyal minister. I don't want to be a person who kills loyal ministers, and neither can you! Otherwise, the history books will be thick in the future. Write it down for you and me, we can't afford this crime!"

Hua Mulan retorted: "But you are a courtier of Wei, and he killed our emperor!"

"You're right, but the emperor has already died, can bringing him back will bring the emperor back to life?"

Hua Mulan was very anxious: "Brother Junsheng, if you let them go, others will think that you are collaborating with the enemy. You have eight mouths and you can't tell!"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "As long as you don't tell, who will know? What kind of enemy do I have? When I let him go, I didn't even know that he killed the emperor and the ministers accompanying the army! The emperor is dead, and the dead emperor is not the emperor. I have no obligation to be loyal to a dead emperor, why should I avenge a dead emperor? Only by avenging blood relatives can I get moral support, and revenge for others is morally untenable!"

"But Your Majesty is your emperor. Zhu Xiuzhi killed your emperor. As a subject, shouldn't you avenge the emperor?"

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath and said to Hua Mulan: "Mulan, you made a mistake! First of all, I am a soldier and I only obey orders. Now no one gives me orders. Before the new emperor ascends the throne, no one is qualified Give me the order! Secondly, I am the Governor of Youzhou, General Pingbei, and a courtier of Wei State. This is just a job. It does not mean that my life belongs to the emperor, nor does it mean that my life belongs to the Tuoba family. , I am not obliged to take the initiative to avenge him! Thirdly, national affairs are not a vendetta! What we have to consider now is not chasing and killing Zhu Xiuzhi, but now that the dragons have no leader, whether to continue to besiege Dragon City, or to return to the court just like this. Don't make a decision sooner, once the Yan army in Dragon City gets the news, they will take advantage of our civil strife and come out of the city, all these tens of thousands of horses may all be buried in this Dragon City, do you understand?"

Hua Mulan felt confused after hearing Zhao Junsheng's words. What Zhao Junsheng said subverted her cognition, which was completely different from what was right and wrong in her heart, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense.

Just as she was hesitating, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared in the rear.

The leading general who was chasing up shouted loudly: "Tuoba Qi is here, who is leading the army ahead?"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan responded loudly: "The governor of Youzhou, Zhao Junsheng, is here, please come forward and speak!"

Tuoba Qi came with his troops on horseback, stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan and asked, "General Zhao, General Hua, can you see Zhu Xiuzhi?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "He escaped across the river!"

Tuoba Qi said angrily

: "Why didn't you stop him? He rebelled and rushed into the palace to kill the king, His Majesty died! The ministers accompanying the army were also murdered by him!"

Zhao Junsheng was about to get angry when Tuoba Qi yelled at him, but Hua Mulan couldn't help shouting: "How do you know we didn't stop him? We fought a bloody battle with him, and he broke out. We The soldiers have been chasing after him, and when they got here, he cut off the bridge, don't you want us to swim across the river in the middle of the night to chase? If you have the ability, you can take people to swim there and try!"

After hearing Hua Mulan's words, Tuoba Qi couldn't get angry anymore, he just kept muttering to himself: "It's over, it's over, His Majesty is dead, and the ministers accompanying the army are all over..."

Zhao Junsheng said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go to the palace!" After speaking, he turned his head and waved to the Youzhou army behind him: "Everyone listen to the order and go to the palace with this general!"

Hua Mulan also immediately ordered the right wing army to turn around and go to the palace.

Tuoba Qi yelled at Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan: "Stop chasing Zhu Xiuzhi?"

Zhao Junsheng responded without turning his head: "The bridge has been cut off, how can we chase after it? The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation, stabilize the morale of the army, and prevent the Yan army in the city from taking advantage of it!"

Tuoba Qi opened his mouth and yelled helplessly to vent his temper, but he could only lead the soldiers back to the palace behind Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

Halfway on the way, Zhao Junsheng sent a team of cavalry to watch outside the south city wall, monitor the actions of the Yan army in the city, and report immediately as soon as they found signs of the Yan army leaving the city.

Not long after, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Tuoba Qi rushed to the palace with their troops, and other generals also rushed over with their troops.

When Zhao Junsheng got off his horse, he called Li Bao over and ordered in a low voice: "Immediately send someone back to Youzhou overnight to tell Zongai's people, and spread the news that Zhu Xiuzhi killed the king and fled, the emperor died and all the ministers accompanying the army were slaughtered! "

"Yes!" Li Bao agreed and turned to leave.

Separated from the generals surrounding the palace, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Tuoba Qi each led their own soldiers into the palace hall.

A large number of corpses were placed neatly on the ground of the hall, the corpse of the emperor Tuobajian was placed at the innermost, and the corpses of the other deceased were placed on the left, right and down in order according to their official positions and titles.

Now that the conditions are limited, we can only cover the corpse with cloth for the time being. This was done by the generals after Lai Daqian arrived.

Zhao Junsheng noticed that Tuoba Jian's head had been chopped off, and now he was just putting the head and body together.

Lai Daqian watched Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Tuoba Qi walk in and asked in a deep voice, "Did the traitor Zhu Xiuzhi be caught?"

Chapter 536 There Are Many Internal Contradictions

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "The last generals tried their best to intercept them, but Zhu Xiuzhi and his subordinate soldiers bravely broke through the siege. Our soldiers suffered heavy losses, and they finally broke through the siege. Now we have crossed the Yushui River and headed east. run away!"

Lai Daqian asked murderously, "Why didn't you lead your troops to pursue?"

"The bridge has been destroyed by it, and the river cannot be crossed. How can we chase after it?" Zhao Junsheng asked back. Regardless of him, the governor of Youzhou, which of these generals present is not a general of one side or a general of the first army?No one can command them except the emperor.

Lai Daqian no longer confronted Zhao Junsheng on this matter, he glanced at the generals in command and said: "The traitor Zhu Xiuzhi killed the king, he deserves death, and he should be punished by the nine clans! As Wei and His Majesty, we Your servant, you should lead your troops to pursue Zhu Xiuzhi, capture him and cut off his head to pay homage to His Majesty's spirit in heaven! Which general is willing to lead troops to hunt down the rebels? Which general is willing to lead troops to encircle and suppress Zhu Xiuzhi's soldiers left outside the west city wall horse?"

Tuobaqiu, the Duke of Changli, was the first to jump out and clasped his fists, saying: "The final general is willing to lead his troops to hunt down the rebels. If Zhu Xiuzhi is not caught, he will not return him!"

Zhao Junsheng cursed in his heart: "Idiot!"

Coming to Daqian was quite relieved, and immediately said: "Okay! Lord Changli is indeed loyal and brave. You should rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, you will send civilian men to repair the bridge across the river. After that, hurry up and hunt down the traitor Zhu Xiuzhi!"

Tuobaqiu cupped his fists.

Lai Daqian was about to ask who was willing to lead troops to encircle and suppress Xing Huaiming's troops left by Zhu Xiuzhi outside the west city wall, when a voice shouted outside the hall: "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, there is an urgent military situation, I have an urgent military report! "

All the generals inside and outside the main hall heard it, and the generals automatically gave way to a passage, and the soldiers who made the sound ran into the main hall, and Xiang Daqian and other generals in command clasped their fists and bowed to report: "Xing Huaiming has surrendered to the Kingdom of Yan. The west gate of the city was wide open, and a group of Yan troops ran out to guard Xing Huaiming's troops and entered the city, and then the Yan troops who were in charge of covering also retreated into the city!"

General Ningbei, Sanqi Changshi, and Yuyang Gongwei's family were furious when they heard the words: "It turns out that the rebels have colluded with the Yan Kingdom a long time ago, hateful, hateful, it's only because I was so blind that I didn't see their true colors!"

General Mingwei He Xijing yelled: "I said that the Han people have no good things, but you just don't listen to me! According to me, all the Han people should be killed!"

Zhao Junsheng exploded on the spot when he heard this, and strode forward to He Xijing and glared at him: "He Xijing, I greet your old lady! Who do you think is not a good person? If you want to kill all the Han people, move first Let me give it a try? Yours!"

He Xijing couldn't hold back his face, evil came from his guts, and he was furious: "So what if I touch you?" Before he finished speaking, he drew his knife and chopped at Zhao Junsheng. ----Fast update, no anti-theft on 16595---

How could Zhao Junsheng let him succeed, when he drew the knife, he also drew the knife instantly to block the scimitar cut by the opponent, and then kicked him vigorously in the chest, with a sound of "touch", He Xijing was kicked backwards Going out, knocking over the four soldiers behind him, lying on the ground and struggling to get up, there was obviously a sunken footprint on the chest of the armor, if it wasn't for the armor to block, Hexi Jing might be finished on the spot, even so, Hexi Jing was also seriously injured, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"My surname is Zhao, if you dare to attack me, I will kill you!" He Xijing rushed up madly to fight Zhao Junsheng desperately.

"Don't do it, don't do it!" Yuan He hurriedly grabbed He Xijing, he knew that Zhao Junsheng's martial arts were unfathomable, and He Xi Jing and Zhao Junsheng's desperate efforts were purely courting death. Now that the emperor is dead, no one will uphold justice, He Xi If Jing was killed by Zhao Junsheng, his death would be for nothing.

He Xijing struggled vigorously and shouted: "Let go, let me go, let me kill him!"

How could Yuan He dare to let go, once he let go, if Zhao Junsheng didn't stop, He Xijing would probably die here.

At this time, Lai Daqian was furious:

"That's enough! He Xijing, shut up! Your majesty's bones are still cold, but you and I are fighting here. Are there any rules? Do you still have your majesty in your eyes?"
