After a short silence, Lu Zhongtian suddenly got up and shouted: "Let's go, accompany me to the palace wall to have a look, I want to see how fierce this group of traitors are." ”

Accompanied by Liu Zhenbang, Lu Zhongtian came to the Daqing Gate. There was already a panic here. Soldiers and horses ran around in a mess, carrying defensive materials to the palace wall, and temporarily building fortifications to repel the enemy.

Separated by a low palace wall, the sound of people neighing and horses in the square outside Daqing Gate is noisy. Lu Zhongtian knew that it was the noise of the enemy army gathering outside the palace gate.

Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong saw Lu Zhongtian coming, and hurriedly came to see him. Lu Zhongtian saw a sense of frustration from Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong's expressions. By asking Chen Jue, Lu Zhongtian roughly knew the situation at this moment.

When the Luoyan army came to the Suzaku Gate before, Chen Jue learned the news and prepared to supervise the battle in person. He knew that once the inner city was broken, everything would be finished, so the inner city had to be defended. However, halfway through the journey, he got the news that Wang Jun and Yuan Ping had made an appointment to fight with their opponents, and they were both beheaded. And their bet was to lose and withdraw immediately. At this moment, the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses on the head of the city ran and descended, and they were scattered as birds and beasts. The Luoyan army has attacked the inner city without a single sword or shot,

Chen Jue was shocked when he heard the news and scolded loudly. He angrily scolded Wang Jun and Yuan Ping for being stupid and taking it upon himself to engage in a battle with their opponents, which was extremely stupid. That Lin Jue is scheming, and the battle he proposed must not be accepted. These two people thought that their martial arts skills were strong, and they thought that they could make a turnaround, but they didn't know that in the face of wisdom, the level of martial arts could not affect the situation at all. No matter how high the martial arts are, they can't compete with intrigues.

In desperation, he could only order people to gather the remnants of the army, abandon the inner city and retreat to the inner city. In fact, there is no way to do it, and the only place I can stay in now is the Ouchi Palace. There are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they can't defend it, so they can only act with cameras. Chen Jue was very annoyed in his heart, not long ago, he desperately persuaded Lu Zhongtian to evacuate the capital, at that time, the outer city had not been breached, and there was still enough time to escape. But Lu Zhongtian refused to live or die, saying that he was now the emperor of the Great Zhou, how could he be driven out of the capital by these thieves. Chen Jue had no choice but to sit and watch the outer city be forced, so that in the current situation, he couldn't run if he wanted to.

In fact, Chen Jue didn't know Lu Zhongtian's thoughts, Lu Zhongtian didn't want to run, but when he came, the outer city was not broken, and he still had 200,000 defenders to defend the city in name, so it was impossible for him to make such a decisive decision. Second, where can you go after escaping from the capital? It is impossible to go south, and to the north is already a occupied area. To the northwest? The Northwest Army had already taken refuge in Lin Jue, and the only choice was to go north to join the Jurchens.

Lu Zhongtian didn't think about this possibility. Turning to the Jurchens and using the power of the Jurchens to plan for the future sounds like a good idea. But Lu Zhongtian understood it very well in his heart. The Jurchens allied with themselves entirely because they were unable to capture the capital, and they could be supplemented by a large number of supplies, grain, grass and manpower from their hands. That's why they joined forces with themselves to deal with the Falling Goose Army. However, at this moment and then, after escaping from the capital, he was a lost dog, with nothing left, and he lost any value that could benefit the Jurchens. With the tiger and wolf nature of the Jurchens, he will inevitably become a weight used by the Jurchens to trade with Lin Jue, Guo Kun and them. In order to get some benefits, Wanyan Agu did not hesitate to hand himself over to Lin Jue and Guo Kun in exchange for favorable conditions for them. And he is undoubtedly the person Lin Jue and Guo Kun thought of getting their hands on.

"Chen Aiqing, Zhu Aiqing, can the palace be kept?" Lu Zhongtian asked him the stupidest question he had ever asked in his life, and he regretted it after asking it. In fact, he already knew in his heart that there was no luck today. I shouldn't have asked this question at all.

Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong were silent, they couldn't answer. Said that it could be kept

, that's nonsense. said that he couldn't hold it, but it was not the answer that Lu Zhongtian wanted.

"Your Majesty, the ministers swear to guard Ouchi to the death and protect the emperor Zhou Zhou." Chen Jue came up with the best answer.

Lu Zhongtian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, accompany me up to take a look." I'm going to meet these thieves. ”

Chen Jue, Zhu Zhirong, Liu Zhenbang and others accompanied Lu Zhongtian to the palace gate and city wall. The Ouchi Palace wall is one zhang five zhang high and one zhang wide, which is completely the appearance of the city wall. It's just that compared with the inner and outer walls of Bianliang, the palace walls are too weak. The firearms of the Luoyan army can even collapse the outer city wall more than ten zhang wide, and this palace wall will penetrate with more than a dozen cannons. The outer city can't be defended, let alone the palace walls.

Lu Zhongtian stood on the palace wall, holding the battlements and looking at the square outside, on the Daqingmen Square under the sunset, the flags were displayed, the soldiers and horses gathered, and the number was incalculable. Lu Zhongtian looked blankly at the swarming enemy soldiers and horses, and looked at their armor neatly and with high morale, and was silently stunned. He really couldn't understand how this group of mountain bandits who came out of Funiu Mountain got to this point. How did they have such a strong combat power, from a bandit cottage to today's soldiers in Bianliang City, and hit in front of the palace. And how did he get to where he is today, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, abundant grain and grass materials, and sufficient strategic materials such as blades and armor?

So what kind of trick did Lin Jue use? Is this person a god or a demon? How can a bandit soldier develop to the current scale. And then there are the deadly, multi-name firearms. How could Lin Jue make so many firearms, and the power was huge. Who is he? Could it be that God sent him down to oppose him? His good situation was ruined by this person. This is really hard to understand, hard to accept.

"Your Majesty, go down, there's nothing to see. Let's go down. Liu Zhenbang whispered beside him.

Lu Zhongtian waved his hand, took a breath, and suddenly shouted loudly at the black and oppressive enemy troops in the square: "What about Guo Kun? What about Lin Jue? Tell them to come to me. Tell them to come to me! ”

On the square, the Falling Goose Army and the Horse Infantry Army were forming a team, and a large group of infantry was pushing Shenwei's cannon to rumble into the square from the Suzaku Gate Street, and the square was noisy and noisy, and the shouts of Lu Zhongtian on the palace wall were ignored by everyone. The soldiers of the Luoyan Army were busy with their own affairs, and they were concerned about their own things, but no one cared about the emperor who ascended the throne today.

Lu Zhongtian was extremely annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Shouting for me, ask Guo Kun and Lin Jue to come to see me." ”

Although they didn't know what Lu Zhongtian was going to do, the soldiers still shouted in unison. This time the shouting was noticed by the soldiers of the Luoyan Army, and they heard the content of the shouting, so someone hurriedly reported it to Lin Jue and Guo Kun who were in the rear. Soon after, Lin Jue and Guo Kun, escorted by a large group of cavalry, galloped out of the aisle between the soldiers and horses, and came to stand not far outside the palace gate.

"Guo Kun, Lin Jue. Is that you? Come near, I have something to ask you. Lu Zhongtian shouted loudly.

Guo Kun was a little hesitant, he was worried that the other party would be cheating, so he tricked himself into stepping forward. Lin Jue didn't care, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go and listen to what the old thief has to say." It must be interesting. ”

Guo Kun had no choice but to follow Lin Jue and ride forward together, approaching seventy or eighty steps away. A group of guards with large shields guarded to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Guo Kun, Lin Jue, is that you?" Lu Zhongtian said loudly.

Guo Kun shouted coldly: "Lu thief, it's me and Lin Jue, I didn't expect it, I came back." Old thief, your time of death has come. ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and shouted, "You dare to call me too?" I am the emperor.

”

Guo Kun chirped: "Phew! Dream your big dreams. You are a thief, you want to steal my Great Zhou? It's a beautiful idea. The world belongs to my Guo family, old thief, you don't want to touch your hands. I'm here to kill you, a thief who steals the country. ”

Lu Zhongtian shouted: "Guo Kun, you are a thief in the imperial court, what qualifications do you have to inherit the throne?" I am the emperor of the first emperor's edict, and I am the orthodox. Kwok's country? You, Guo, have tossed the Great Zhou to pieces, what qualifications do you have to continue to be the master of the Great Zhou? I am the one who saved Da Zhou. What did you do for the Great Zhou before? It is precisely because of your rebellion that foreign enemies have an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Jurchen Liao invaded, who turned the tide and defended the capital? Who protected the Great Zhou's Jiangshan Sheji? Is that you? It's me. It was I who defended Bianliang, it was I who protected the Great Zhou Sheji, and you are here with a large army at this moment, and you are the one who has come to steal the capital and the country of Sheji that I guarded. Don't you feel ashamed that you came here to attack me while I was exhausted from fighting the enemy? Where were you when the capital was in trouble before? ”

Lu Zhongtian's words are sharp, and he was originally a master of sophistry in the court, and his words seem to be extremely reasonable. Although Guo Kun knew that he was talking nonsense, he didn't know how to refute it for a while. Anxiously waved his hand, annoyed.

Lin Jue saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, deal with this old thief, I'm afraid you can't talk about him." Let's deal with him. ”

Guo Kun nodded and said, "Okay, you scold him, and he will be bloody." This old thief is really hateful, reversing black and white. ”

Lin Jue nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at the figure of Lu Zhongtian standing on the palace wall, and shouted: "Old thief Lu, don't come unharmed." Hey, you're the emperor, that's amazing. This is disrespectful. ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and shouted, "Lin Jue thief, what did you say?" If you dare to be rude to me, I will break your body into thousands of pieces. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Are you still prestigious? I'm afraid I'm crazy. Old thief, old thief, do you dare to say that you have defended Bianliang? How much evil have you done, old thief? You are the moth of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou will be destroyed in your hands. You have been in the prime minister for decades, and the situation of the Great Zhou is getting worse, and you are helpless, only caring about fighting, framing Zhongliang, and fighting for power and profit. If you hadn't killed my teacher and Lord Yan, I would have been full of vitality and weathered the difficulties. How dare a foreign enemy provoke easily? It is precisely because of you, an old thief, that you have ruined the good situation. For his own selfishness, he betrayed the emperor and conspired with Guo Xu to usurp the throne. The Great Zhou Dynasty became bloody, and the throne was seized by disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous people. And you, an old thief, took millet from the fire at the time of the national crisis and usurped the throne in chaos. Old thief, old thief, what you do, everyone in the world sees it, who doesn't know your wolf ambition? Bianliang City could have been safe, you were worried that the Northwest Army would enter the city and make you usurp the throne, so you tricked the Northwest Army into attacking the Jurchens, but you didn't save you when you saw death, and let the blood of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army spill on the battlefield. That's not all, after that, you made a play to force Guo Xuchan to give you the throne, and in order to collude with the Jurchens, you gave Guo Xu to the Jurchens as hostages, all of which have been made clear. Lu thief, if you are not exterminated, heaven will not tolerate it. We went out of the capital because the former emperor and the crown prince were murdered, and we didn't even recognize Guo Xu's throne at all, and Guo Xuchan let the throne give you even more ridiculous. Slowly, it was forced, and even if it was really voluntary, it would be a piece of waste paper for us. What's even more ridiculous is that when my army was approaching the city, you were still in a hurry to ascend the throne and become emperor. Hehe, you will be buried in your dragon robe, you old thief, you are disloyal and unjust, insidious and cunning, untrustworthy, even if you die today, you will be stinking for 10,000 years. ”

Lin Jue's stormy rebuttal made Guo Kun's heart feel happy, and he laughed and said: "The scolding is happy, or you are eloquent, and you scold everyone so happily." ”
