Liu Xun vaguely felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Why can't you get in, what about the eldest grandson Chongwei?" ”

Yang Youxian shrugged, "I don't see anyone all the time, and it seems that there are many garrisons on the city tower." ”

Liu Xun frowned, instantly realized that something was wrong, and muttered repeatedly: "There is fraud, there is fraud......

Liu Xingzhi saw that his father was panicked, and he couldn't help but feel confused, "Has the palace been controlled by them?" Father, what now? ”

As he was talking, Hou Zhigui also led a group of people to hurry over, and without waiting for Liu to ask, he said: "Lord Wang, according to reliable information, the eldest grandson Chongwei has defected, and he has already taken refuge in the prince. Now the palace gate has also been controlled by them. ”

Liu Xun's father and son's faces turned blue in an instant, and Liu Xunqiang, the king of Ning, calmed himself and said, "What about the emperor?" What about his old man? ”

"No news yet."

Liu Xingzhi's eyebrows were raised, and he was furious, "It seems that the imperial grandfather may have been placed under house arrest by the crown prince." ”

Liu Xun continued to greet Zhigui: "What about Gao Yun?" Any news? ”

He also went to face the saint, and at the gate of the palace, he also ate behind closed doors. He later said that he had infiltrated the palace alone to investigate. ”

Liu Xingzhi was already a little disappointed when he heard this, "Father, now let's gather people and break through the palace gate, as long as we concentrate our forces, we may be able to take the palace, maybe there will be a chance at that time." ”

Liu Xun's heart wavered, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "No, the most terrifying thing now is that we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark." We can't figure out whether the emperor is in the palace, nor how the prince is deploying troops. If we break into the palace gate without permission, it will turn out to be an empty gate, a trap arranged by the prince, and we will definitely be annihilated in the end. ”

Liu Xingzhi was unwilling to say: "But if the prince is allowed to take the lead, aren't we still sitting still?" ”

Liu Xun began to be in a dilemma, "Let's wait for the news from Gao Yun's side first!" ”

At this time, Liu Xun's father and son all thought of Lu Zuo, if he was there at this moment, maybe there would not be this situation. Liu Xun's team is obviously on the street, and it has attracted the attention of many people, who are curious about how these teams are all motionless here. Seeing this, Liu Xingzhi hurriedly asked his subordinates to blast away the lively people.

"Driving ......" a white horse galloped over, and the official one on it was Gao Yun.

Liu Xun's mood calmed down a little and urged him to step forward. Gao Yun and Liu Xun rode opposite each other, and Liu Xun hurriedly asked: "Marshal Gao, is there any news from the palace?" ”

Gao Yun's face was gloomy, and he replied in a low voice: "The emperor seems to have been controlled in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the palace guards are five steps and one post, which is almost airtight, and I also learned from the guards' mouths that the prince's side has actually been prepared for a long time, and they originally acted on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and they heard that Lu Zuo left a letter for you, and they felt that you already knew their actions, so they decided to act in advance." ”

"What?" Liu Xun felt confused, "Lu Zuo left me a letter?" What a thing. Liu Xun thought about it again and said angrily, "Could it be that Lu Zuo has already guessed that the prince has made a move, so he escaped from the capital?" ”

Liu Xingzhi was also on the side at this time, slapping his fist, "There is absolutely no mistake, Lu Zuo is a two-faced person who must have known the prince's actions and knew that we would be defeated, so he took a reason to mourn and slipped away." ”

Gao Yun didn't say anything after hearing this, but just persuaded: "Lord Wang, you are now gathering people and horses to escape from the south gate immediately, all the way south, maybe there will be a chance to turn around." ”

Liu Xingzhi saw that his father was silent in thought, and immediately vetoed: "No, since the imperial grandfather was detained by the crown prince, as long as we rush into the palace and rescue the imperial grandfather, we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation." ”

"The prince's people have long laid a net in the palace, in order to wait for you to rush in, and then deduct you for the crime of forcing the palace, and then you can be completely destroyed." Gao Yun said disappreally.

Liu Xingzhi was so angry that he scolded: "This hateful eldest grandson Chongwei old horseman, even he can betray the emperor's grandfather." ”

Liu Xun's empty eyes were like the weather was cloudy at this time, and two questions kept swirling in his mind, whether to advance or retreat? How? What about retreating? It's a pity that when the prince was in trouble, he didn't get rid of him as soon as possible, so that he only had a chance to breathe later.

Yang Youxian stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, according to the lower officials, it makes no sense for us to attack the palace, even if it is to welcome the saint, I am afraid it will not help." It's better to follow Marshal Gao's words, let's go south to other countries, the prince's wolf ambition at that time was ...... by everyone"

"No way!" Liu Xun suddenly refused categorically, his eyebrows raised, "Kill into the palace, I can't wait any longer, waiting any longer will only make Liu Yan more and more rampant, and most of the prince's main army is left in the palace, and if he takes the palace, the other troops in his hands will be self-defeating, so he must go into the palace, and today will either die or the net will be broken." ”

Gao Yun's face sank, with his keen military insight, if he broke into the palace gate, it was almost impossible to win, but he was helpless, so he just advised: "If the prince insists on entering the palace, I have a word of advice, don't divide your troops to attack the palace gate, you should concentrate your forces to attack the west gate of the palace." ”

Hou Zhigui was puzzled: "Marshal Gao, don't you know that there are the largest number of garrisons there?" There are not many garrisons at the east gate, in my opinion, it is most appropriate to attack the east gate, and the east gate is the closest to the Xuanzheng Palace! ”

"I have carefully observed the situation in the city, and although there are many guards at the West Gate, most of them are old and weak. I think the prince also thought that the prince would attack the east gate, so they would be suspicious at the east gate, and they must have ambushed many heavy troops at the east gate. As long as they take the West Gate while their reinforcements have not yet arrived, then the morale of the army will be greatly boosted, and even if the other party's reinforcements come to intercept them again, you have a great chance of defeating them. ”

At the west gate of the palace, at this time, there were really many flags on the city tower, and the garrison was strict, but when you looked closely, they were all old and weak soldiers.

The leader of the garrison in the city looked old, and when he saw King Ning leading the men and horses to come violently, he obviously began to get nervous, and then looked at the dragon and tiger guards around him, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and all the main forces were not here. ”

Liu Xun, the king of Ning, raised his head and glanced at Qian Xi, did not answer, and glanced at his son Liu Xingzhi beside him. After Liu Xingzhi understood, he rode a horse, took the lead, pointed to the city tower and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, the emperor is under house arrest by the prince, we are under the emperor's secret edict, and we are here to rescue the driver, and those who know each other will open the city gate quickly, otherwise they will be punished for treason." ”
