Chapter 56

As soon as the banners of the Chen family and the Su family came out, some city-states responded one after another, of course, they also had different thoughts, but this also meant that the whole country was in chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gillian thought, this Ye Jiayou is very similar to the ancient Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the Wei and Jin dynasties Emperor Wu Emperor Liu Yu, both of whom are military generals, but others raise troops from the bottom up, and the foundation for establishing a new dynasty is relatively solid, but this General Ye is from the top down, and those below who rely on force, who can obey it?

Soon after Ye Jiayou ascended the throne, he wanted to move the capital to the south, and the location of the capital was Chang'an County, to which Xiangcheng belonged.

Shen Yuan just received the report from the big head and came directly to Xiao Mansion to find Chen Ajiao, Chen Ajiao was holding a pen, sitting cross-legged in front of several cases in a daze, but heard Shen Yuan hurriedly shouting: "Ah Si, Ah Si, something is wrong." ”

Shen Yuan's shouting shocked Gillian's brush to the ground, Chen Gillian turned around, saw Shen Yuan running sweating profusely, and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Waited until Shen Yuan sat down, and finally breathed evenly, and then explained the matter clearly, it turned out that Xiangcheng had been quietly surrounded by an army stationed in the nearby county, and the war drums outside were about to beat, Xiangcheng was about to be attacked, and the soldiers guarding the gate had already boarded the city wall to prepare to defend Xiangcheng.

As soon as Shen Yuan's words fell, a hurried voice came from outside the door: "Hurry up and pour a glass of water for Miss Ben, I'm dying of thirst!" ”

It turned out to be Miss Du Yingchun, Chen Ajiao suddenly felt as if she hadn't seen her for a while, it turned out that she was also here to deliver news, and asked Gillian to hurry to her house for refuge, but there were still many guards at her house.

Gillian quietly listened to the two of them over there, but there was a lot of gratitude in her heart, especially for Du Yingchun, Gillian felt that her relationship with Yuan'er was naturally unusual, and it could be regarded as a fateful friendship with her, but the relationship with Du Yingchun was not deep, but it was a partnership in business, but the other party did not forget herself, Gillian felt that although she did not have a girl of the same age to accompany her when she was a child, she now gained a very precious friendship.

The two people in front of them were in a hurry, but Gillian said very calmly: "This Xiangcheng can't be defended." ”

The rain in the south is always abundant, but autumn is not the rainy season after all, the shallow moat, the soldiers who have temporarily gathered on the city walls, are eyeing the fierce opponents stationed outside, showing the weakness of their strength.

The war drums outside the wall had been beating, and some people were shouting loudly below, but the gates of Xiangcheng were closed. The inside can't get out, and the outside can't get in.

Xiangcheng, which has not experienced war for a long time, is like a panicked child chased by a tiger in the sound of war drums, running around, as if predicting the fate of a dead end, but still struggling in vain.

The soldiers outside the city wall gathered beyond everyone's expectations, this Xiangcheng, which is known as the ecstasy of the world, was surrounded by the garrison next door with a thunderous momentum, and the maid who was waiting beside Gillian did not expect it, and her calm and comfortable look also added a few traces of panic, and she was about to take Gillian to find a path to escape out of the city, but was stopped by Gillian, she couldn't just take Shen Yuan and Du Yingchun away, Bi'er and Huzi were still there, The mother and son of the Xu family, who can do a good job of looking at the first flowers and Luofeng Lane, which can turn ordinary ingredients into extremely delicious, are also there, the shopkeeper Xiao who serves him wholeheartedly is also there, and his cousin Lian Sisi is still waiting for redemption.

How could she just leave?

Besides, now that Xiangcheng has been besieged, the chances of them escaping are very small, and the only thing Gillian feels happy about is that Chen Yanrong and Bai Qian are not in the city.

Outside the city wall, after three drums were beaten, the attack began, the goal was very clear, that is, to open the city gate and occupy Xiangcheng, how many treasures there were in Xiangcheng, no one knew, but I don't know how many people coveted it.

Rows and rows of arrows were fired, and the soldiers defending the city fell in batches, huge logs and ferocious chariots slammed against the gates, and the people of the city did not know what to do, and the innate fear of war overwhelmed everything. However, there were also many young men who took homemade weapons and climbed the city gates, and knocked down the soldiers who tried to climb the city gates through the ladders.

Nothing is more important than one's own homeland.

After a stalemate for a while, a figure in a red robe suddenly appeared on the city wall, and an arrow shot was tied with a striking strip of red cloth, heading straight for the opponent's commander.

One of the opposing team's men walked out, dressed in armor, with a serious and cold face, only a pair of eyes shining, and with a wave of his hand, the sound of drums, and the action of archery stopped, and the besieging soldiers all looked at their commander. For a moment, the original noise was inaudible, and it seemed to be transmitted to another world, only the occasional bloody breath reminded everyone that there was a bloody war going on here, and now it was only a pause.

It's a tough team.

"Shi Xinzhong! A certain Yang Lin! The red figure on the upper floor of the high city shouted loudly, the person who asked the question was about forty years old, his face was white and elegant, and he had a tall and long demeanor, even in the face of such a situation, his expression was still quiet.

"Lord Yang, open the city gate and descend to me!" Shi Xinzhong's voice was deep and low, and it came through with blood.

"Why did General Shi do this? Don't you know that this is a great sin of treason? Yang Lin's voice trembled a little.

"Rebellion?" Shi Xinzhong chuckled lightly and said: "This world is no longer the world of the Bai family, if the surname Ye can sit, why can't I, Shi?" ”

The soldiers in the team looked at the general in front of them, their eyes flashed with fanaticism, raised their spears and halberds, and shouted: "General! Checkmate! Checkmate! ”

Yang Lin was speechless and silent for a long time, Shi Xinzhong began to become impatient, "The surname Yang, do you know that if you are loyal to the new dynasty now, aren't you a traitor?" Shi is loyal to the Bai family and to Xingguo, but he has never said that he is loyal to the emperor Ye Jiayou. ”

Yang Lin's face turned pale, sighed, and said, "That's it, General Shi, Yang will open the city gate for the general, but whether the general agrees to Yang's certain conditions." ”

The corners of Shi Xinzhong's eyes jumped, so he didn't like to deal with literati the most, and what was the point of breaking a sentence into a few sentences and turning around?

"You say."

Yang Lin took a deep breath: "I open the city gate, can General Shi keep the people of my city safe?" ”

General Shi laughed and said, "This is natural, Lord Yang loves the people so much, what if he is under my command?" When Shi succeeds in the future, the benefits of Lord Yang will be indispensable. ”

Yang Lin looked at the soldiers under his feet, closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of panicked faces of the people who came all the way, as well as the sound of blocking the road and begging, thinking of what Xiao Rufeng told him, his heart ached for a while, when he could only choose one of the two of the loyal monarch and the love of the people, he thought, he could only choose his people, the people under his rule, he couldn't bear them to suffer, he couldn't bear their family ruined.

Yang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the sky, a round of sunset on the horizon was red, and the sunset stained the green mountains, what a beautiful scenery, Yang Lin was reluctant to blink.

Shi Xinzhong at the bottom has already begun to jump, secretly scolding this person for not ending, the literati love to engage in these sad springs and sorrows, which is really underbeaten.

Just when General Shi was about to lose it anymore and was about to forcibly attack the city, Yang Lin finally sighed leisurely, "General Shi, I hope you are talking about it, Yang can't live with the rejuvenation of the country, and with the first emperor, he can only apologize with death!" ”

Then he turned back and said, "When I die, open the gates." ”

Before everyone could react, a red figure had already floated down from the high city tower, like autumn leaves falling on an autumn day.

The soldiers defending the city were all stunned, and someone shouted: "My lord! ”

When the red leaves fell halfway, a black figure flew over diagonally, hugged Yang Lin's waist, and took him to the ground, with a graceful posture, like a butterfly on the ground.
