Chapter 182 Empress is waiting for you at the palace
Zhao Cuo naturally refused to give up. He looked at the dozen riders in front of him from a long distance, gritted his teeth, waved his whip and accelerated to catch up.
Seeing this, the three hundred cavalrymen who escorted him out of the encirclement did not care about their horses and could only keep up the pace and continue the pursuit. The two hundred cavalrymen who were lagging behind were struggling with the rebels who stayed to block the attack and were unable to move forward.
Young Master Zhao is gradually getting closer to the Yu Emperor Chu Reng who is fleeing in front of him.
"You actually forced me into this situation!"
Emperor Yongzhao looked back at the pursuers who were pressing forward step by step.
There was no longer anger on his face but a wry smile.
The grand plans and great achievements in the evening have turned into nothing but feathers in just a few hours.
"I had a drink with Zhao Wujiu and talked about heroes, but it turned out that I underestimated the heroes of the world. This defeat is a wake-up call for me."
"Your Majesty, you must cheer up! Sioux City is just ahead, we haven't lost yet."
The staff beside him comforted him.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. If you lose today, you can win back tomorrow. I have nothing to fear."
Emperor Yongzhao shook his head and said, while kicking the horse's stomach with his heel and rushing towards the gate of Shangsu City at a faster speed.
"Whoosh!"
The ear-piercing scream sounded again!
"Escort!"
A guard shouted and jumped up from his horse to protect Chu Reng.
"Zhao is wrong and I am incompatible with you!"
Emperor Yongzhao saw that most of the people around him were again reduced by this round of arrows. His eyes were splitting and his teeth were itching with hatred.
"The gate to Shangsu City has been opened. Your Majesty, hurry up and ride into the city. I have shown my loyalty by escorting you here."
The guard who just flew up and sat behind Chu Reng was hit by several arrows, but he was not fatally injured. However, in order to prevent the horse from slowing down, he still turned over and landed on the ground.
"You are a loyal minister. As long as I am alive for one day, I will ensure that your family is safe!"
Before Emperor Yongzhao finished speaking, he waved his riding whip and rushed towards the city gate in front of him.
"Fire the arrow!"
At this time, he heard the roaring sound behind him that was like a reminder!
"How could I let you run away..."
Zhao Cuo looked at Emperor Yu who had reached the edge of the gate of Shangsu City with red eyes. He didn't know why he was so angry now. Maybe part of the reason was Emperor Yongzhao's previous instigation of discord.
Did the female devil really want to eat him up so she was so kind to him?
He won't believe this!
"Look, I will shoot you dead myself!"
Zhao Cuo picked up the bow hanging on the horse's side, pulled out an arrow and put it on the string with unfamiliar movements, narrowed his eyes and shot an arrow at Emperor Yu who was about to enter the city gate!
His blow was drowned in the rain of arrows fired by three hundred sergeants. He actually saw two arrows fall on the back of Chu Reng, who was on a fast horse, but he was not knocked down.
Emperor Yongzhao disappeared in the city gate in embarrassment.
"Stop it!"
Young Master Zhao looked at Chu Reng who had been hit by an arrow, and suddenly felt a little more comfortable, but he was still more regretful.
The gate to Upper Sioux City was slowly closing, and they now had enough time to pursue them, but this was courting death.
If three hundred cavalry broke into the city where there were still many enemies, they would definitely die.
"Why!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Chongxing could only look up to the sky and sigh. The great achievement he was about to achieve was lost just like that. It was a great regret in his life.
"General Wu, don't be discouraged. You and I have tried our best and still can't catch up. I can only say that his life should not be cut off today."
After seeing the power of the army, Mr. Zhao suddenly became interested in military power. If he wanted to control a country's army, the most important thing was to cultivate cronies in the army.
"I will definitely ask for credit for General Wu in front of my queen afterwards. The fact that we were able to immediately surround the palace in this battle was all due to the general's speed and skill. This credit must go to the general."
"Thank you, Imperial Envoy Zhao."
Wu Chongxing was secretly happy. How could he not know that the current Empress Dowager favored the Zhao family the most? Why worry about being promoted in the Duke Zheng's palace?
"Zhao is wrong and Zhao Wujiu is wrong!"
A deep voice of suppressed anger suddenly came from the towering city wall.
"Why do you insist on putting me to death?"
When Zhao Cuo heard Emperor Yongzhao's voice, he subconsciously raised his head and looked over. The former monarch, escorted by a group of soldiers, walked to the top of the city and glared at him.
"What else can you say, you traitor?"
Young Master Zhao asked calmly. Of course he would never call Chu Reng the emperor again. The Queen Mother would definitely depose the third emperor as quickly as possible after tonight.
We can't keep Chu Reng's imperial title so that he can justifiably rebel.
After tonight, the world may really be in complete chaos.
"What I said to you in the palace today is absolutely not a lie. Are you willing to sacrifice your life to the Queen Mother? Why bother?"
Emperor Yongzhao's eyes were full of confusion besides anger.
"Put away your divorce plan."
Zhao Cuo stared at him with a cold expression.
"How can you express the friendship between me and my empress in just a few words?"
"I understand."
Emperor Yongzhao looked at Mr. Zhao below with a stunned look on his face, his eyes suddenly turned pitiful, and he sighed softly and said:
"Zhao Wujiu, why do you have to deceive yourself? In fact, you also know that everything I said to you is true. You have repeatedly killed me because you were poked in a sore spot, but you didn't want to admit it and became angry and angry, right?"
"withdraw!"
Zhao Cuo had no expression on his face, lowered his head and ignored Emperor Yongzhao. He said something to Wu Chongxing beside him and then turned his horse's head.
At this time, Wu Chongxing was so remorseful that his intestines were green. He never expected that the one who rebelled was the current Holy Emperor. How much credit would it be if he captured His Majesty alive?
He almost missed the opportunity to be knighted tonight!
"Report to General Wu and the Imperial Envoy."
Zhao Cuo and others quickly learned the current situation after returning to Taihu City.
"Our army has captured the Huainan Palace and wiped out more than 2,000 rebels. However, the Huainan King and his family members escaped through the tunnel."
"This rebel king is so treacherous!"
Wu Chongxing immediately slapped his thigh! Dare to let the current emperor break out from the south gate to distract his attention. King Huainan himself has prepared an escape tunnel.
"Just forget it if King Huainan runs away."
Zhao Cuo shook his head and said.
"We have captured half of the Huainan Kingdom after we captured the palace. After that, the Empress will definitely send troops to take back the other half of the territory south of Shangsu City."
"What Imperial Envoy Zhao said is absolutely true."
Wu Chongxing breathed a sigh of relief and said that occupying the capital of Huainan was a great achievement. There was no need to worry about being punished for letting people go.

"General, quickly lead your troops to control Taihu City, and then capture the surrounding cities overnight, so that you can sleep peacefully..."
Zhao Cuo's words stopped abruptly, and he saw a woman with a humble expression walking out of the mist in front of him, it was Fei Wu.
"The empress is waiting for Mr. Zhao in the palace."
"I understand...please ask aunt to lead the way."
