Chapter 695 (1/2)

Although Huo Tianxiu was keenly aware of the difference in Beijing, he had no other military strength except the two guards and more than 100 relatives he brought out.

He had no imperial edict and no military amulet. Even if he guessed what had happened in Kyoto, he was helpless.

Huo Tianxiu wrote a letter to inform the Marquis of his many speculations, and then continued to go on his way to spy on what was so bad in Beijing.

The Marquis received Huo Tianxiu's letter and was a little calmer than him. In addition to the siege of Chang'an, the Marquis couldn't think of anything else that might lead to news blocking.

The rebel of the garrison of Gushui city took advantage of Huo Tianxiu's departure.

But now Huo Tianxiu has rushed back. As long as he takes over nine doors, a military division should not be worried.

It was not until the Marquis received the news that Qi Qi, the garrison commander of the eight cities around Chang'an, had rebelled and the emperor was bedridden that he was shocked and flustered.

But it's just that he can't mess up right now.

Lord Hou calmed his mind and wrote a letter first to calm Huo Tianxiu. He told him not to rush forward. For the time being, he stayed in Gushui city to inquire about intelligence, contacted the old Department of eight cities near the treason, and asked the old Department to spread rumors that Huo Tianxiu was about to lead troops back to Beijing.

The Marquis himself also changed the previous secret return to Beijing into a big publicity, spreading news to make the passing cities well known. The Marquis Xia rushed back to Chang'an from Wanzhou.

There are different opinions along the way. Most of the rumors are that the Marquis was secretly sent out of the capital to seek medical treatment years ago because of the news of his death.

Now we have found a miracle doctor and are in good health. Only then can we rush back to Chang'an from Wanzhou.

The reason why Hou ye took so much trouble is that after hearing the latest information from Huo Tianxiu, General Zhao suddenly took heavy troops back to Chang'an.

Hou Ye bet that General Zhao and the emperor must have premeditated first. It's better for him to bluff on his way back to the West.

Since General Zhao can suddenly lead the troops back to the city, why can't Hou ye, who was still in Beijing, change and appear in Wanzhou and return to the city with Huo Tianxiu.

Of course, they didn't have military symbols and couldn't dispatch troops. The Marquis just wanted to increase the momentum of the Zhao family army and make the rebels think they were trapped by the West and the north.

Huo Tianxiu was unstable. He rushed into Gushui city and suddenly received the news of General Zhao's return to Beijing. After listening to the Lord's words, he withdrew.

The news of the mysterious suspect spread quickly and reached Chang'an in three days.

Although the people in the garrison have occasional mood ups and downs, no one really takes it seriously.

After all, whether Hou ye and Huo Tianxiu have led the troops back is still just a rumor, but Shi Jiajun is a serious army.

General Zhao was forced to give up the north gate. If he continued to stick to it stubbornly, he would face the attack of Shi Fuqiu and Shi Jialiang inside and outside the city.

He was forced to go to mingsa garden in the west, where Jiaoshi was waiting for old general Zhao.

Mingsa garden was originally located in the western suburb. It was closed again after the 20000 private troops hidden by Xiao mubai burst into the city from there.

Until this time, when General Zhao was forced to lead the army to move south, he asked Jiaoshi to cut it off and clarify his identity. Mingsa garden was originally opened in the name of Zhao Xingwen. It is also an excellent place to be stationed.
