Chapter 675: You Sing and I'll Appear
Buliu Guli's 50,000 troops and 100,000 people waved their troops north, Zhang Li and Gu Bi were forced to retreat, and they fought and retreated, and finally were forced to retreat into Pingcheng to defend.
This news quickly spread in the world, even if Zhao Junsheng ordered Lu Xuanbo to block the contact between Pingcheng and the envoy Xi Puhui, but this news quickly spread in Qianjing City, how could Xi Puhui, who was in Qianjing City, not hear the news?
"What? General Zhang Li and the supervising army Gu Bi were beaten back to Pingcheng, and 50,000 troops of Buliu Guli came to Pingcheng? When did the news come? Shocked and anxious, he asked the entourage who had reported the news to him.
The attendant said: "Master, I bought pastries for my lord on the street early in the morning, and I heard that many people in the city were talking about this, and it definitely can't be fake!" ”
"This is impossible, if this news is true, this official should have received the news from Pingcheng a long time ago! The official didn't receive the news, and how could the people of Qianjing City know about it first? Xi Pu replied with disbelief.
The entourage said: "Master, maybe Buliu Guli's army is advancing too fast, and Pingcheng will not have time to send someone to send the news over and be besieged by Buliu Guli's army!" Or maybe the messenger had an accident on the way to Heijo, even if he was attacked by mountain bandits and killed, it was normal! ”
"No, no, no, it's just a messenger, and there isn't much oil and water, there is no benefit in attacking and killing the messenger by mountain bandits, and he will be wanted by the government! The official always felt that this was not normal, but now was not the time to delve into this matter, and the official should immediately go to see a person and ask him to verify the news, you go and prepare the carriage! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Half an hour later, Xi Pu came back to Pei Jin's mansion and handed his name to the guarded family and asked to see Pei Jin, but the gatekeeper told him that Pei had entered Shangshutai and had not returned.
Xi Puhui immediately rushed to Shangshutai non-stop, but was blocked outside Shangshutai, the court officials were heavy, how could envoys like Xi Puhui break in at will, and they were naturally blocked out of the door, no matter how he said please, the soldiers guarding the door did not inform him.
Xi Pu returned to his stubborn temper, since he couldn't enter, he decided to wait outside Shangshutai, he didn't believe that Pei couldn't get in or out.
In the evening, the Shangshutai official office was finally on duty, and the officials went home one after another, and Xi Puhui finally waited for Pei Jin at the door.
"Pei Shangshu!" From afar, Xi Puhui raised his hand and shouted.
Pei Jin turned his head when he heard the voice, turned around and bowed and smiled: "Why is the angel here?" ”
Xi Pu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm waiting for you here!" I came here at noon, trying to go in to find you, but the soldiers guarding the door wouldn't let me in, and they wouldn't tell me, so I knew I was waiting here! ”
Pei Jin looked puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Xi Pu asked back: "Pei Shangshu, tell me the truth, has Buliu Guli broken through the defense line of Yanmen Pass and killed under Pingcheng City?" ”
Pei Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Xi Pu and asked, "The angel still doesn't know that Buliu Guli has led an army to surround Pingcheng?" I thought you already knew, shouldn't you! ”
Xi Puhui's face changed greatly, and he immediately said: "Pei Shangshu, I want to enter the palace to see King Qianwang immediately, and ask Pei Shangshu to help dredge one or two!" ”
Pei Jin shook his head and said: "I'm just afraid that I can't help you in this matter, who in the Qianguo doesn't know that the king never talks about business after being on duty?" If it weren't for the 100,000 urgent matter, the king would never have met with the minister, you asked me to pass it on, but I was afraid that not only would I not be able to help with this help, but I would also be severely reprimanded by the king! ”
Xi Pu hurriedly said: "Pingcheng is besieged by rebels, isn't this a matter of urgency?" Pei Shangshu, please help me pass it on anyway! ”
"This matter is a hundred thousand urgent matters for the angels, but not for the king and the Qianguo! It's useless for you to be anxious about this matter, so be it, I will report your request to the king tomorrow morning, and you can wait for the news! ”
Xi Pu had no choice but to return to the post house with a sad face.
After three days, Zhao Junsheng ordered Xi Pu to return to the palace for a pilgrimage, Xi Puhui did not dare to slack off, and immediately entered the palace for a pilgrimage after tidying up.
"Xi Pu has seen the King of Dry Returns!"
Zhao Junsheng looked at Xi Pu below and asked, "What is the matter with the angel wanting to see Lone?" ”
"King Qian, now that the rebels have besieged Pingcheng, Your Majesty, the imperial court and hundreds of thousands of people in Pingcheng are in danger, please send troops to rescue as soon as possible!"
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "This matter is already known, and the soldiers and horses are ready to go to the battle, but it will take more than ten days for the army's baggage, grain, and grass to be loaded and shipped!" Although the angel can rest assured, the high walls of Pingcheng City are thick, and there is enough food and grass in the city, and it is no problem to hold on for two or three years. When the grain and grass are fully raised, Lone immediately ordered to send troops, and you can go back and wait for the news with peace of mind, don't be impatient, you must know that marching and fighting is not child's play, and you can't be sloppy! ”
After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he got up and left, no matter how Xi Puhui shouted, he didn't pay attention, the eunuchs blocked him, so that he couldn't catch up, Xi Puhui had no choice but to leave.
Zhao Junsheng dragged Xi Pu back for seven or eight days, but he couldn't attack Pingcheng for a long time.
Zhao Junsheng called Lu Xuanbo and asked, "Isn't there any news from Pingcheng yet?" ”
"Back to the king, Buliu Guli is still attacking, but the high walls of Pingcheng City are thick, and there are nearly 20,000 troops defending the city, and the food and grass in the city and the materials for defending the city are sufficient, and Buliu Guli is afraid that it will not be easy to capture it!"
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Pass the order into Pingcheng City through special channels, and let the black-clothed guards in Pingcheng find a way to burn the grain and grass hoarding points in the city and destroy their city defense equipment!" Since Buliu Guli can't capture Pingcheng in a short time, we have to find a way to help him, and the crime of destroying the Wei State can't be borne by us, since Buliu Guli is willing to be this urgent vanguard, why don't we fulfill him? ”
"Understand, the minister will arrange it!"
Zhao Junsheng stopped him: "Wait, tell the black-clothed guards in Pingcheng that they only have half a month, and they must let Pingcheng be in chaos within half a month, otherwise Buliu Guli will have no chance at all!" Moreover, the matter of sending troops to our country cannot be delayed any longer, there are still many people among the subjects who are loyal to the Pingcheng court, if it is delayed any longer, someone will definitely see the clues! ”
"Yes!"
Two days later, at dusk, the order was delivered to the secret branch of the Black Guards in Heijo Castle through carrier pigeons, and a sabotage campaign against Heijo quietly began.
It took five days for the people of the Heicheng Black Guards Branch to start a specific operation, and in the early hours of this day, a team of black-clothed men armed with strong bows and crossbows raided the largest granary in Pingcheng.
The sleepy guards were attacked by a surprise attack, although they organized resistance, but they were fired by these black-clothed men with strong crossbows, and after heavy losses, they were routed, and the black-clothed men successfully broke into the grain and grass hoarding area after paying the price of more than a dozen people, and a torch ignited all the 300,000 stone grain and grass in the entire grain storage point in the shortest possible time.
After succeeding, the men in black broke out carrying the corpses of their companions and quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only the deadly guards and the burning grain depot.
Although the guards of the grain depot tried their best to put out the fire afterwards, all the grain in the grain depot was still burned, and the rescued grain was also burned and could no longer be eaten.
The news of the burning of the grain depot could not be concealed at all, and the sky-high fire told everyone in Pingcheng that the largest grain depot was gone, and the people in the city began to panic, and the people had no choice but to hide at home hungry, and the defenders began to panic, what to eat without food? If you don't have good food, you don't have the strength, how can you defend the city?
Emperor Tuoba was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed several eunuchs and palace maids in a row, and one of the ministers who stepped forward to dissuade him was also hacked to death, and the other ministers were so frightened that they retreated outside the main hall.
Some of the ministers seem to feel the arrival of the end of Great Wei, watching the emperor lose his mind and kill people like crazy, is this the last madness?
"Zhang Li, I ask you, how long can Pingcheng be defended?" Tuoba Jun glared at Zhang Li with red eyes.
Zhang Li had to stand up and clench his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know how long he can hold it, but the minister will definitely do his best, if the city is broken, the minister will die!" ”
Tuoba Jun was rarely not exposed this time, waved his hand with a decadent face, and walked alone to the inner palace with his sword, the ministers looked at each other, and left with their own thoughts.
In the middle of the night, a hanging basket was lowered from the city wall, and a man walked out of the hanging basket and walked towards the camp of Buliu Guli outside the city.
Two days later, at night, the arsenal where the armor was hoarded was also on fire, and all the armor, bows, crossbows, and arrows that could be equipped with tens of thousands of horses were burned down, and the defenders were panicked and their morale was low.
On the night of the third day, Doulu Luyuan and his sons led a group of family members to raid the west city gate and succeeded, and then opened the city gate, and the soldiers and horses of Buliu Guli quickly entered the city, and the shouting of killing in the middle of the night shook the whole Pingcheng, and the common people hid at home in fear and did not dare to pant loudly.
Most of the defenders in the city were killed and scattered, and a small number surrendered, and when Buliu Guli led a large group of soldiers and horses into the palace, the palace was already in chaos, and the red-eyed soldiers raised their butcher knives against the eunuchs and palace maids, and the palace was full of blood.
The Praetorian Guards guarded the Inner Palace to the death, and after the Forbidden Army broke into the Inner Palace, they found the bodies of Tuoba Jun and his concubines in a large hall, which was soaked in blood and exuded a thick bloody atmosphere.
It turned out that Tuoba Jun killed all his concubines and then committed suicide.
Two days later, the news reached Qianjing.
After receiving the news, Lu Xuanbo quickly entered the palace, and Zhao Junsheng was holding a court meeting at this time.
"Great King, the black-clothed guard Commander Lu has an urgent matter to ask for!"
Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Let him in!" ”
Lu Xuanbo walked into the main hall and reported under the gaze of the ministers: "King, the ministers just received a secret report, two days ago, Bu Liu Guli broke through Pingcheng, and Emperor Tuoba Jun killed all the concubines before Bu Liu Guli led the army to attack the palace!" ”
The hall was suddenly silent, although this news was expected by many ministers, but when he really heard the news that Tuoba Jun committed suicide after killing all the concubines, he couldn't help but tremble a few times in his heart, after all, he was a generation of emperors, and he was forced to die like this!
Lu Xuanbo continued: "Buliu Guli killed Tuoba Hun, and united with Dou Lu Luyuan and other ministers to support Tuoba Huang, the son of Emperor Taiwu, to ascend the throne as emperor!" Buliu Guli was named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the great Sima, the general, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, Shang Shuling, and the regent! ”
