The old man's cloudy eyes looked at the flickering candle flame, and his eyes seemed to be reminded of the extremely tragic war in Dulongling forty years ago, his comrades-in-arms, his siblings, and his relatives...... One by one, they fell under the swords and guns of the Sui army.

It was a brutal slaughter, and even after forty long years, the image of that scene was still clearly engraved in his mind, the dead mountains were stained red with blood, and the corpses of robes were scattered all over the mountains......

Don't dare or forget for a moment.

Forty years of time are fleeting, the Great Sui Dynasty swept away the eight wildernesses, seeing the chaos of the Central Plains in the midst of prosperity and decline, the great cause he planned for did not wait for the time to mature, the Great Sui collapsed, and then in the scorched earth ruins, a stronger and more prosperous Tang Dynasty suddenly towered......

Life is seventy years old, he is seventy-eight years old this year, if he misses the present, will he still have the opportunity to fight for the great cause of restoration in the remaining years?

Success or defeat, if he can't rise up to fight with the sky, and go down to the Yellow Spring after death, how can he have the face to see those brothers, and what face does he have to see the father who stands up to the sky?

It's a big deal, let these little bloodlines left in Wanchun Kingdom be buried for themselves......

But even if he dies, he has to fight for the last one!

After decades of preparation, this land is full of his henchmen, is it still unbearable to fight?!

The white-faced middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't know that the old man had already made the decision to break the net in his heart, and said urgently: "Sir, don't do it!" How can the great cause of restoration be relied upon by luck? We took advantage of the Tang Army's unpreparedness, and it was naturally easy to attack the city, but once the Tang Army sent troops to help, how could it stand it? We can't bet that the Tang people will take the initiative to give up the land of Annam! ”

Just kidding!

As long as the Tang army continues to drive from Panyu, where is the chance of winning?

Even if they have been preparing for restoration for many years, the number of people who have been pulled out by raising their arms and pulling out must be tens of thousands, but these rabble, who lack weapons and training, in the face of the elite Tang army that is well-equipped and sweeping all the princes, I am afraid that a single charge will be crushed......

Isn't this a child's play with human life?

Before the old man could speak, the middle-aged man with a narrow face had already said disdainfully: "Bad seed! Since ancient times, who has achieved great things, which one is not willing to take risks in his life, so that he can achieve hegemony with the blessing of heaven? There is no complete statement of anything, opportunities will always exist with risks, and if you dare not take risks, how can you complete the great cause of restoration? ”

The white-faced middle-aged man was unwilling to give up, and sighed: "But even if you take a risk, this risk is too great!" His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty is majestic and covets this land of Goguryeo and wants to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but now we want to pull out a tooth in his tiger's mouth and split Annan......"

"It is precisely because the Tang Emperor wants to point his sword at Goguryeo that this is a God-given opportunity for us. If it was in plain life, maybe the Tang Emperor would send troops to exterminate us even for the sake of face, but now the entire Tang Dynasty is sharpening its troops and horses and preparing for the eastward crusade...... How can it be compared with such a great feat as the conquest of Goguryeo, which was never won by the Central Plains Dynasty? ”

“……”

The white-faced bearded middle-aged man opened his mouth and found himself speechless.

There is really a little truth in this......

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with a long and narrow face with satisfaction, and said warmly: "Since this is the case, let's start preparations immediately, as soon as the time comes, we will do our best to attack the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, and then occupy the entire Songping County, and then sweep through Annan and restore Wanchun Kingdom!" ”

"Whoa!"

The two henchmen got up and bowed to the ground.

The old man raised his head slightly, his gaze passed through the open window, and he cast his eyes into the vast dark night sky, and his cloudy eyes ignited a blazing flame!

The great cause in my heart has not been accomplished for a day, what joy is life, and what is there to fear in death?

*****

The night is dark.

The city of Singha Bura is bathed in darkness and is unusually quiet.

"Da Da Da"

The sound of neat footsteps sounded on the silent long street, and the figures of the buildings streamed in from the open West City Gate and headed straight for the palace.

In front of the palace gate, the soldiers guarding the gate were alarmed by the dull footsteps, and looked down at the gatehouse, but the night was like ink, no stars and no moon, and there was chaos as far as the eye could see, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"What's going on?!"

Someone asked.

During this time, the entire Singha Buluo City was in a rumor, and the case of the robbery and murder of the Tang nobles in Da Nang was in an uproar, and almost all the Tang garrisons poured out of the nest to arrest suspects everywhere, and there have been many Linyi nobles who have been arrested, and how many of them are missing and how many have been killed......

It is said that the hills south of Da Nang have long been stained red with the blood of the people of Lingeup, and the headless corpses are all over the mountains......

Datang took revenge as if he was completely crazy this time, and the nobleman was killed, what a humiliation is this? The proud Tang people couldn't bear it, and large-scale implication was inevitable.

Everyone was scared, wondering if the Tang Dynasty would go crazy to the end, drive the army into the Singha Buluo City, and wipe out all the nobles of Linyi......

"Who knows? Could it be that Tang Jun came in? ”

"Probably not, even if the soldiers guarding the city gate can't stop the Tang Army, it should be a little loud, right?"

"That's not accurate, the Tang Army is strong, who is in front of it is not looking for death? Maybe those guarding the city gate saw the arrival of the Tang army and opened the city and surrendered......"

"Gollum ......"

Someone swallowed a mouthful of spit and nervously asked, "The ...... In case it's really the Tang Army, will we fight to the death, or will we ...... What the ...... is that?"

After all, this is the gateway to the palace, and it is too much to talk about the word "surrender".

But even if these two words are not spoken, where is there anyone who does not understand the meaning?

For a while, the soldiers on the gatehouse fell silent, each with their own thoughts, and kept silent......

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the dull sound gradually resounded, like a burst of thunder, which overwhelmed the soldiers on the gatehouse, and stared ahead with wide eyes.

A leader looked nervously at the darkness in front of him and ordered: "Go quickly, enter the palace to report, just say that there is an unknown situation happening, and if you find it later, tell you separately!" ”

"Whoa!"

One of the soldiers replied and said, "The little one will go." ”

After that, he turned around and went down the steps down the gatehouse, but instead of going to the palace, he turned a corner, and while the soldiers at the door were not paying attention, he bent down and went into the dark city gate......

In the darkness, a group of figures suddenly appeared, like ghosts appearing in hell, with terrifying coercion!

The leader of the soldiers on the gatehouse swallowed and spat, and asked loudly, "Who is coming?" ”

The dull footsteps still did not stop, and the figures of the buildings approached the gatehouse like a tide.

The leader of the soldiers suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted at the top of his voice, "Stop! This is a forbidden place in the palace, and idle people are not allowed to approach, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing! ”

It seemed that this sound of "no forgiveness" had an effect, and the footsteps suddenly stopped, and a black shadow came out of the crowd and strode towards the gatehouse.

Suddenly, the black shadow stood in front of the gatehouse, and said loudly: "A certain is the great general Jiadu!" ”

This man's voice was strong and heavy, and it could be heard far away in the quiet of the night.

The head of the soldiers was trembling in his heart, and he asked dutifully: "Dare to ask the general, but what happened, why did he lead the army to the palace late at night?" ”

That's what I asked, but I was already scared to death in my heart......

Thinking of the recent rumor that "the king has no virtue, he will be disposed" in Linyi, he knew in his heart that this general who commanded the whole country's soldiers and horses, Jia Du, was afraid that he was going to rebel, right?

Jiadu stood in front of the gatehouse, the rare majestic figure of the people of Linyi was like Yuanyu Yuezhi, and said loudly: "The Tang army has been assembled in Da Nang, intending to storm the royal city and harm the king, a certain has gathered all the troops in the royal city, come to the palace to protect the king, you will open the city gate quickly, and you will enter the palace to discuss with the king about the strategy of retreating from the enemy. ”

Where does the leader of the gatekeepers still not understand?

This general of Gado really rebelled......

What to do?

Can't open the city gates?

No, how can a few of them resist the strong attack of the warriors under his account led by the first warrior of Linyi Country?

Open, how can you be worthy of the king's trust......

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and was about to open his mouth when he heard a "squeak" sound, which was very clear and harsh in the middle of the night.

The leader of the soldiers was taken aback, and then his face turned pale, and he saw that Gadu, who was under the city, raised his arms high, and behind him, thousands of soldiers shouted and poured into the palace like a tide!

The gates of the city were opened from the inside......
