Chapter 560: Siege

Feng Tang, Wei Xuan, and Chen Daliang led an army of 10,000 and surrounded the capital.

Although it was a temporarily organized army, Feng Tang and the three of them were all veterans who had led the army for a long time, so there would be no confusion and mistakes.

Feng Tang remembered what Jia Baoyu said that his main task was to block the capital and transmit information to the outside world, so he concentrated his main forces outside a few city gates, while he himself was stationed outside the north city gate.

The defenders in the city were obviously in turmoil and mobilized because of their arrival, but there was no sign of going out of the city to meet the enemy, which made Feng Tang secretly relieved.

After settling the affairs of the general for a while, he came to the city gate with only two of his own soldiers, and asked, "Who is the guard of the city, come out and reply!" ”

After a while, a slightly younger voice came from the city: "He Wei, the general of the Southern Battalion, who in the city dares to lead troops to besiege the capital?" Don't go back quickly! ”

"Shenwu General Feng Tang, on the orders of King Jing, clear up the rebellion!"

The sound of the vigorous and vigorous sound, which crossed the city wall several feet high, fell into the ears of the soldiers defending the city, causing ripples.

General Shenwu is a senior general, and the name of General Shenwu Feng Tang is also quite loud in the army.

Being pointed out by such a character and scolding them for rebellion, they naturally couldn't help but be a little frightened.

However, who is King Jing?

On the city tower, there was silence for a while. After a while, Fang heard a neutral voice sound:

"Chen Qiao, the capital of the Southern Battalion, has seen General Feng."

Hearing the voice of their own general, the feeling of emptiness in the hearts of the soldiers finally dissipated. Also, in their southern camp, the identity of the Dutong Lord can be compared to Feng Tang.

"It turned out to be Dong Pingbo, what's the matter, Dong Pingbo also wants to help the rebellion and steal the Jingshi?"

"The old general is highly respected, how can he also say such words that reverse right and wrong? But I want to advise the old general, disperse the army quickly, and don't follow the king of Hejian to plot rebellion and make mistakes. ”

Feng Tang knew that if the second prince wanted to control the capital, he would inevitably carry out some necessary "frauds" to win the hearts of the righteous people.

So it was not surprising that Dong Pingbo would say that he followed the king of the river to rebel.

He was delighted.

In this way, the second prince and others are not very clear about the situation on the mountain.

"The King of the River? The prince of Hejian was seriously injured a few days ago in order to protect the emperor, and he is still bedridden, and the old man followed him to rebel? It's a joke!

Even if you want to accuse others of rebellion, please don't say such childish and ridiculous remarks.

Now that the Emperor Taishang has woken up, he is very angry when he hears that the second prince has gathered a crowd to rebel, and he will return to Beijing under the escort of King Jing and all the ministers. ”

Above the city tower, Chen Qiao's face showed a look of doubt.

Is the emperor awake?

Even if the Emperor Taishang really woke up, shouldn't Feng Tang and the others try to hide it, or even murder him, why did he dare to say it directly?

In addition, who is King Jing in his mouth? The first time he heard it, he thought he had misheard......

"I have been a country for a hundred years, and I have never heard of the title of King Jing? The old general said that he was ordered by King Jing, but he didn't know whose order it was? Is it to fool the people of the world for fools? ”

"King Jing is the grandson of the emperor, but he has been living in the people since he was a child. After the Emperor Taishang woke up the night before yesterday, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he personally issued a holy decree to allow him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, give him respect to Huan, and crown the king!

This matter is known to everyone on the Iron Net Mountain, from the Taishi and the Shoufu to the soldiers and servants.

Only when you were bewitched by the second prince to rebel and close the news of the capital, did you not know about it!

This is the content of the Emperor's decree, if you don't believe it, take a look for yourself. ”

Feng Tang said, in the vigilance of the people on the city tower, he took the arrow that had been prepared in advance from the hand of the attendant and tied the content of the holy decree, and shot the bow accurately on the city tower.

On the tower of the city, Dongpingbo's face was grim.

When the guards took the arrows off the battlements of the tower, he was shocked in his heart after reading the contents.

This holy decree seemed bizarre and absurd at first glance, but when he looked back, he felt that it was mostly true......

First of all, if the other party is trying to deceive him, there is no need to create such a "complicated" and unbelievable rumor.

Secondly, the appearance of Feng Tang and others made him feel that the situation had changed from the beginning.

After all, even if the King of Hejian had the ability, it was unlikely that he would be able to make a veteran general like Feng Tang surrender so quickly, and he would dare to transfer a large army to him......

But the great changes on the Iron Net Mountain have long been certain, if it is not for the rebellion of the King of the River, then why?

Is it really a rebellion by the second prince? That doesn't make sense, the second prince has been in the capital from beginning to end, even if he led the army to Tiewang Mountain a few days ago, he also followed, and the second prince has no sign of rebellion!

Moreover, the second prince had no motive to rebel......

Seeing that the generals around him were all wide-eyed, looking at him curiously and nervously, Dong Pingbo put away the cloth, didn't mean to show them, and then said loudly:

"Hugh wants to deceive us with clever words, but it is clear that you and others have murdered Your Majesty, held hostage the ministers of the court and the emperor, and tried to rebel and usurp the throne.

We are all under the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Qi to guard the Jingshi.

When the time comes, you will be called to wait for all the rebels to be punished! ”

After speaking, he ignored the subordinates and instructed the left and right: "Do your best to prevent their sneak attack, and I will go to His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

"Yes."

……

Under the city, Feng Tang saw that there was no voice from Dong Pingbo, and he did not make senseless entanglements, and rode back to the camp.

Chen Daliang and Wei Xuan greeted them and asked, "How?" ”

Feng Tang sighed: "There may be no way to open the capital for a while, the second prince is really good, even characters like Chen Qiao have been taken in by him for his own use." ”

"He doesn't believe what you say?"

Feng Tang shook his head: "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not, he has already gotten on the thief ship, how can he easily get out?" At least we won't be able to persuade the gates to open it. ”

Wei Xuan said: "Otherwise, we are not without gains. Unless Chen Qiao shoots you on the spot, otherwise, under such circumstances, if Chen Qiao listens to your words, the second prince will definitely doubt Chen Qiao's loyalty.

If it can make them suspicious of each other, it will also be a great achievement. ”

Feng Tang glared at Wei Xuan, you old boy really want the old man to be shot?

But then he still smiled and said, "Yes." ”

This is also the reason why he went to "call the formation" as soon as he was stationed.

The second prince stole the capital for a while, and when the matter on the iron net mountain was completed, the emperor also came back to his senses, and when the time came, with the power of the emperor of the ether, it was only a matter of time for the army to crush the city and break the city.

It's just that how much credit they can get before this depends on their ability.

But seeing Wei Xuan's face again, he said sadly: "It's just that my three family members are all in the city, if it is ......"

Feng Tang and Chen Daliang both changed their faces when they said this.

Feng Tang thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be, the second prince has always been known for being a benevolent gentleman, otherwise people like Du Anji, King Beijing and others would not be able to be used by him." Without these people, he would not have been able to control the Jingshi so quickly.

Therefore, even for the sake of his own reputation, he did not dare to do anything too tyrannical. ”

"Having said that, what if it is time for life and death?" Wei Xuan, however, did not think that he should put his hope on the mercy of the enemy.

On the way to the army, he was thinking about this question.

Feng Tang let out a long sigh, glanced at Jingshi from afar, and said, "If it is really unavoidable, you can only give up your small family for everyone!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with warning eyes: "We, we can't live up to King Jing's trust in us!" ”

The two were a little silent, and finally nodded silently.

As generals leading the army, they have long been mentally prepared for how to choose in this situation.

I just didn't expect it to happen in such a situation.
