Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

When Prince Gong set up the Hongmen Banquet to deal with Zaiyuan and others, Liu Ye led a hundred people and joined Sushun's team.

At this time, it was morning, but Sushun had not received any news yet. After all, most of the brains had been dealt with by Liu Ye and Zuo Baogui, and only a few small soldiers and generals were left. They didn't even know what was going on, and they didn't know how to find Sushun if they wanted to send a letter.

Hearing that Liu Ye led a hundred people to the front of the team, Sushun's brows jumped. Liu Ye, wasn't this guy sent to Shandong? Why did he suddenly come to Miyun?

Sushun felt an ominous premonition in his heart and whispered, "Hongju, immediately call your elite troops and prepare for battle. If things change, capture Liu Ye first!"

Du Han was not in vain. When he heard Sushun say this, he knew that things were not going well. Although no specific news had been sent back from the front, there was no news from Duanhua. Doesn't this mean that things might have failed?

Du Han nodded and quickly gave orders.

To be on the safe side, Sushun quickly called Wang Huanzhang. Liu Ye was too difficult to deal with. Ordinary people were no match for him. Moreover, the one hundred men under Liu Ye were all cavalrymen armed with live ammunition. These veteran soldiers of the Beijing Camp were definitely no match for them. Only the elite of the Firearms Camp could control them!

At this time, Liu Ye and his men had already arrived in front of Su Shun and shouted, "The imperial edict has been issued. Su Shun, Du Han, receive it!"

Sushun raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Asshole! Didn't Liu Ye's imperial edict order you to go to Shandong to help Senggelinqin suppress the bandits? How dare you disobey the imperial edict and come here? Where did the imperial edict come from? Without the draft edict of the Grand Council, all imperial edicts are fake!"

Liu Ye sneered, "Mr. Su, that was in the past. Things have changed now. Duanhua is plotting to murder the emperor and is rebelling. None of you, the military officials, can escape responsibility. Do you think the late emperor's will will be of any use to you now?"

Sushun was shocked. As expected, Duanhua was a loser! Jiao Youying was also a good-for-nothing. With so many troops under their command, they still managed to mess things up! Now the initiative was completely lost!

Du Han on the side was also shocked. Now that the truth has been revealed, what good can come of it?

Sushun gritted his teeth and decided that now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to fight!

Su Shun sneered, "You dog slave, you are the one who forged the imperial edict, aren't you? Gong Laoliu must have been the one behind all this, instigating you to commit treason and framing me. How could I tolerate you? Today, I will raise an army of righteousness and purge the court of corrupt officials! Come, capture Liu Ye!"

Sushun was surrounded by his trusted generals, and the existing Beijing garrison also held considerable power. In Sushun's view, Liu Ye was only leading a hundred men, and even with the best weapons, he was doomed! As long as he captured Liu Ye, led the Beijing garrison, and drove through the night to intercept the two palaces before they arrived in the capital, he still had a chance to turn the tables!

If that didn't work, he would lead his men south and call on Zeng Guofan and others to purge the court and get rid of Gong Laoliu! After all, Zeng, Zuo, Li, Luo and others were all promoted by him. After weighing the pros and cons, how could he side with others?

However, Sushun's only mistake was infinitely magnified at this time!

Su Shun had just given the order, and before the surrounding Beijing troops could charge forward, he had already been pressed against a hard object from behind! Not only him, but also Du Han beside him was in the same situation!

"Mr. Su, it would be better if you dismounted and tied him up, lest we men break the cordial relationship!"

Su Shun turned around with difficulty. Behind him, he saw Wang Huanzhang holding a rifle, pointing it directly at his back. If he moved, he would be shot through! On the other side, He Tengjiao's rifle was also firmly nailed to Du Han's back!

Wang Huanzhang and He Tengjiao were surrounded by twenty or thirty brothers from the Firearms Battalion, each holding a rifle, forming a pincer attack and taking control of the entire surrounding area. At this time, few of his confidants from the Beijing Camp were around!

Ah!

Sushun reacted immediately, damn, he was fooled, this Wang Huanzhang, according to traditional virtues, was pretending to surrender, he was Liu Ye's accomplice!

"Wang Huanzhang! Why..."

Sushun squeezed out a few words viciously from between his teeth.

Wang Huanzhang laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Su, the position of Governor you've prepared for me is truly enviable. Unfortunately, even though I'm unworthy, I, Wang Huanzhang, still despise it. The entire Firearms Battalion, all the brothers, were single-handedly promoted by Lord Liu. Without him, we wouldn't exist. Forget about the position of Governor, even if you offer me the position of Minister of War, I will never betray my Lord!"

Sushun was now both angry and regretful. Damn it! The situation was so good, but because he misjudged this person, he lost everything!

"Then you deliberately passed on the information and suggested that I remove Liu Ye from power. Was that also intentional?"

Wang Huanzhang sneered, "My dear Lord Zhongtang, if I don't give you information, will you believe me? If I don't suggest that you remove Lord Liu from his position, will you unscrupulously launch a conspiracy? If I don't suggest that you keep Baoding in the imperial court, who will protect the emperor's safety? Haha, do you really think that if you remove Lord Liu from his position as general, the soldiers under you will listen to that useless Duanhua? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own behavior!"

puff!

Sushun was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Liu Ye shouted: "Sushun, Du Han, together with Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others, attempted to murder the emperor and imprisoned the two palaces. They are guilty of treason and rebellion. Now they have been executed. Everyone present, listen to me, we are only going after the main culprit. As long as you lay down your weapons, you will be innocent. Anyone who dares to act will be killed!"

Move without permission? Why move now? Didn't you see that Sushun and Du Han were already being held at gunpoint? Their two leaders were already in danger of losing their lives, so why would we brothers risk our lives?

At this time, Luo Bicheng led a group of Baoding Town soldiers to rush up and tied up Sushun, Du Han and others!

Sushun wanted to resist, but Luo Bicheng was not so polite. He hit Sushun's face hard with the scabbard in his hand!

what……

Sushun screamed in pain and immediately sat down on the ground. His shin bone was broken by the cruel Luo Bicheng!

Wang Huanzhang jumped off his horse and shouted, "My Lord, this is a very good move, isn't it?"

Liu Ye laughed heartily and shouted, "Good boy, I wasn't wrong about you! That's a brilliant move! Don't worry, you'll definitely benefit from it. It's time for our Firearm Battalion to reunite with the brothers in Baoding Town!"
