Qu Tutong finally decided to defect to the Northwest Army, after all, the young marshal was canonized by the imperial court, Marshal Pingxi, rightfully governed the Northwest Frontier, and now his power is growing, and he is still pacifying the troubles, the soldiers are strong and strong, and they belong to Luo Cheng, and their team is still the Sui army, and there is no disobedience.

At this time, Qu Tutong's heart was complicated, knowing that the Great Sui was hopeless, but as a loyal general, he would not find an excuse for betrayal because of this.

Many people know that they can't do it, but they still insist on it, that is, they seek integrity and openness.

"Okay, go to Luocheng, rise in the northwest, and protect the national fortunes of the Great Sui!"

The generals were silent, and they had long been desperate for the Great Sui in their hearts, and they went to join the Northwest Army at this time, also to settle down and even have the opportunity to be reused.

Many people were happy in their hearts, because Luo Chengwei was very famous, and they had long wanted to play under him, but they had never been able to get it, and this time they finally had a chance.

Qu Tutong had done nothing in Jingzhao County, and the road to Tongguan was also blocked, so he could only go west.

The most important thing is that Luo Zhaoyun has already sent people to install spies and intelligence personnel, such as the general Sang Xian, who has long been bribed and influenced, and his heart depends on the Northwest Army.

At the same time, those who persuaded Li Tangjun were secretly remembered, and these people who were loyal to Li Zhu would definitely not have a firm position in the future.

As soon as he said to go, Qu Tutong took 8,000 soldiers, prepared war horses, and went on the road lightly, without carrying too many supplies, as long as they could break through Xue Ju's territory and arrive in Jincheng County alive, they would be considered successful.

Late autumn passed, the grass and trees withered, and the heavens and the earth were slaughtered.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the wind and snow are coming, Daxing City has been besieged for a month and a half, and finally the city is broken.

Li Tang's army roared in and seized the Mingde Gate, and then the Anhua Gate and the Qixia Gate were captured one after another, and Xijing was conquered.

The Sui army was no longer able to resist, and was defeated all the way, shrinking in the imperial city.

The imperial city is the office of the palace bureaucracy, and the yamen of the three provinces, six ministries and nine secretaries are all in the imperial city.

And in the imperial city, there is also the palace city, which is where the emperor and the beauties of the harem live.

Li Tang's army entered the city gate and took control of Waiguo, and then all the streets were controlled, and the people came out to welcome without the slightest fear.

Because these days, Li Tang's army continued to shoot arrows into the city, with a note, announcing that Li Tang's army would not move the people in the city if it entered the city, and would protect the people's property, etc., which won the approval of the people in the city and disintegrated the cooperation between the military and the people in Daxing City.

Li Yuan heard that Daxing City was conquered, and he was immediately overjoyed, these days he was frightened, he was afraid that he would not be able to capture the capital before winter, so Li Tang's army would be very passive, with Liu Wuzhou behind him out of Yanmen County and attacking Taiyuan County, with the Sui army in the east guarding Tongguan, and Xue Ju and Luo Cheng's army in the west eyeing the enemy, and being attacked at any time.

He was worried that this siege would be unfavorable and would greatly affect the morale of Li Tang's army, and it would be difficult to achieve a major event.

Now that Daxing City has been taken, Li Yuan finally put his mind at ease, the land of Guanlong is the place of Daxing, and if he masters it, he will have the confidence to annex the princes.

"Kill—"

The Tang army excitedly attacked the imperial city as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, seeing that the victory was at home, he made military exploits, and he was promoted to a knighthood, refusing to give up a good opportunity.

The generals under Li Jiancheng's command were also anxious at this time, because they came late, and it was difficult to get this work, but they also wanted to attack the imperial city and the palace city again to seize some credit.

Seventy-six-year-old Wei Wensheng was already old, with gray hair and a somewhat rickety body, but after wearing armor, his waist was standing straight by him, and he stood on the tower of the imperial city at this time, looking down on the dense Tang army outside the city, desperate in his heart, knowing that the general trend had gone.

But he put an end to surrender and continued to persevere to the end, just for the sake of 'killing himself to become a benevolent and sacrificing his life for righteousness'.

"Brother Wei, surrender, Da Sui is already full of holes, and we are waiting for people of insight of our generation to turn the tide and save the common people. I, Li Yuan, respect the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, and have no intention of rebellion, but Yang Guang has no way, which leads to the misery of the world. ”

Li Yuan personally went outside the imperial city, surrounded by 100,000 soldiers, and everyone expected to return, and he already had luck.

Wei Wensheng shouted: "Li Yuan, you are Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, don't think that we don't know that you want to be the emperor yourself, just under the slogan of respecting Sui, I, Wei Xuanwei Wensheng, am already seventy and six, and I won't live for a few years, so what can I do if I live and die with this city." ”

"Don't you think about the forbidden army and the palace maid in the city, they are innocent!" Li Yuan began to move with emotion and break the will of the forbidden army.

Garrisoned in the imperial city are all forbidden armies such as the left and right guards, the left and right prison guards, and many generals, captains, straight chiefs, Simas, etc., all of their families are in Daxing Fang, so they naturally don't want to defend it.

Many of the forbidden soldiers looked at each other, war-weary, wanting to surrender, but fearing to be killed.

"Keep attacking!" Seeing that Wei Wensheng was unmoved, Li Shimin immediately urged the attack, and the Tang army rushed forward frantically, and after two hours of fierce fighting, he finally took the imperial city.

Wei Wensheng and others were captured, but the remaining sergeants did not resist and directly threw away their weapons.

The palace is full of royal forest troops, guards, the number of only a few thousand, seeing that the general trend has gone, the gate guard general gave up resistance, directly opened the city and surrendered.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng led people to rush into the palace, quickly stabilized the court, and captured Yang Yu, who was only eleven years old.

The eunuchs and palace maids wept together, all worried about being slaughtered.

"Don't be afraid, we, Li Tangjun, will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and will never harm innocent people in order to save the suffering of the people."

The eldest son and the second son of the Li family tried their best to maintain the image of benevolence and righteousness, comforted them, and asked the soldiers to escort away these palace errand men.

Yang Yu tried his best to maintain stability and endure his fear, but his body still trembled a little when he saw those armored warriors murderous.

"I've seen the acting king, don't worry, we won't hurt you." Li Shimin glanced at him and sent someone to watch and detain him.
