Chapter 021: Siege
The carriage stopped suddenly, there was a fluctuation for a while, Pan Chunwei got out of the car, and straightened his clothes, after His Majesty died and the scholar died violently, he was the pillar of the court, so no matter what happened, he couldn't fall, even if he showed a trace of panic.
Raising his feet and moving forward, Pan Chunwei walked into the imperial study with steady steps, facing Zhao Shuo who was behind the desk, his face was normal, and his tone was gentle: "Your Highness, the general Xiahou Xiangyang rebelled, and at this time the army has come to the city." ”
Zhao Shuo's hand holding the pen paused slightly, his face stiffened, his body unconsciously moved slightly, the dragon chair under his body rubbed against the ground, making a piercing sound, followed by a long silence, and the cold wind outside the imperial study blew in, making a whining sound.
After a while, he slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Han Chong." ”
"The last general!" Han Daxing, who was waiting outside the imperial study, walked into the imperial study, clasped his hands into fists, and knelt on one knee.
"Immediately convene all the Imperial Forest Army, and the Imperial Forest Army that monitors the Shenxing Taibao is also mobilized, respectively, to guard the four gates of the capital, of which the northern Xuanwu Gate is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or exit...... No, inform Cao Wei that he is allowed to lead a thousand troops to maintain order in the capital. Zhao Shuo said in a calm tone.
Han Zhong received the order and said yes, exited the imperial study, and the burly figure disappeared into the morning light.
Pan Chunwei squinted at Han Chong who was far away, even as the prime minister, he didn't know that the second prince's subordinates had cultivated such a number one person, the first time the second prince proposed to let Han Zhong replace Cao Wei in the court, he was slightly surprised in his heart, but it was a time when the court was in turmoil. The second prince who had just been in charge of the country needed to stand up, and he didn't have much to say. I had to agree.
Walking out from behind the desk, Zhao Shuo squinted and was dressed in bright yellow. Chenxi took a breath, and calmly fastened the button between his neck with both hands: "Get up and go to Xuanwumen!" "The general has come to the city, whether it is to purge the court or to rebel, he will not hide in the palace, but is ready to face the world's number one general.
Looking at Zhao Shuo's figure, Pan Chunwei felt inexplicably comforted and happy, no matter how many things this second prince hid from him, he was always the future monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom. It's his own son-in-law.
Zhao Shuo walked out of the imperial study, and Pan Chunwei followed.
The sword-idiot boy with five swords on his back followed him like a shadow, his feet were as light as catkins, but he was extraordinarily mysterious, he had already felt that north of the capital, a momentum like a rainbow of flames was as bright as day, vast as the sea, that was the general, that was the invincible general.
And in the shadow of the high walls not far from the Royal Palace. A masked old man, like a ghost, silently and quietly hidden. Hung far behind a few people.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and I could gradually see the morning light in the east, and beams of sunlight shone down. Countless blurs, but they can't withstand the severe cold of the weather. Some time ago, the snow had frozen on the streets and alleys, rooftops and tiled houses, and the capital had just woken up in the morning. But he didn't know that there were already tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops standing outside the Xuanwu Gate.
When he came to Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Shuo got off first, he climbed the stairs, and the soldiers defending the city who had already received Han Chong's order just glanced at the black suppressive Zhenbei army outside the city wall, and they were all cold, and they didn't dare to come forward, even if they didn't even whisper in private.
Now that I see the second prince who is extremely calm, I have more to rely on in my heart, the Zhenbei Army outside the city is always a minister, and the second prince in front of me is the king.
Zhao Shuo raised his feet upwards, and finally walked to the top of the city, at first glance he saw a general in military uniform, a man and a horse, standing in front of the Zhenbei Army, the horse's hooves gently hit the frozen earth, a piece of sunlight sprinkled, and the armor of the Zhenbei Army reflected the golden sunlight, like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
When the second prince saw the general, the general also saw the second prince, and neither of them spoke, looking at each other.
One looked down from above the city, and the other looked up from below the walls.
Then the Prime Minister ascended the tower, looked at the two people facing each other, and took the lead in breaking the peace, shouting under the city wall: "General, why are you doing this? ”
Xiahou Xiangyang's gaze moved away from Zhao Shuo, looked at Pan Chunwei, snorted slightly, raised one hand gently, and the Zhenbei Army behind him collectively raised their bows and crossbows, and rushed to Minghuang above the city.
"After three hours, come down and surrender, otherwise, the 30,000 Zhenbei army will attack the city collectively!"
There was not the slightest explanation, just a simple sentence that expressed the determination of the great general.
Pan Chunwei's heart was agitated, he never understood the motives of the general, because everything didn't make sense, for the sake of power and the throne? Totally unreasonable. Although for thousands of years, for the sake of the imperial brothers, cannibalism has emerged one after another, but it is not applicable to Xiahou Xiangyang. He has come into contact with many people and seen many so-called gentlemen, but he has never seen a gentleman like Xiahou Xiangyang.
The world knows the five major battles to pacify the world, Xu Xiao commanded three and a half battles, and the general commanded one and a half battles, and the Chibi Water Battle commanded by the general alone was still to weaken Xu Xiao's merits, and elected a person who could fight against him, and the imperial court deliberately "allowed" it to Xiahou Xiangyang.
But Pan Chunwei knows that the general is a real all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and few people can compare with the mastery of the art of war, pacifying the five major battles in the world, except for the battle to the death, the world thinks that the general will be able to win at a lower cost, not to mention the others, take the Chibi water battle as an example, the Central Plains is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is difficult to fight in the water, but the general is very beautiful and has won a big victory. If Xu Xiao commanded, he could also win, but the Internet under the crowd tactics was heavier, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Wei State, there must be no troops to fight against the Xiongnu north of the Great Wall and the Xihu west of Xiliang.
Pan Chunwei still wanted to persuade the general again, but he saw Xiahou Xiangyang slowly close his eyes, and three hours later, the Zhenbei army attacked the city.
The prime minister knew that he had no intention of saying more, so he turned his head to look at the second prince Zhao Shuo and asked for his opinion.
Zhao Shuo's eyes swept over the bodies of the generals of the Zhenbei Army one by one: "It's really ridiculous, the court is full of voices of praise for the Zhenbei Army, but I didn't expect that the Zhenbei Army actually attacked the capital, and the general really slapped the court in the face." However, since things have come to this point, then they can only face the battle and swear to defend the capital to the death. ”
He clenched his fist with one hand and smashed it on the top of the city, splashing countless snowflakes, and at this moment, the second prince suddenly surged out of a ruthless and violent color, and silently read in his heart: "I haven't sat on the throne yet, how can I lose here."
