Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang rode back after coming down from the city tower.

On the way, Chen Xian didn't speak for a long time, Ye Tongzhang looked at him and said: "General Chen, how do I think there is something wrong with this Guo Li, I personally think that your city defense strategy is very good, and it is very thoughtful, but Guo Li just doesn't agree, he finds fault everywhere, it's just a bone in an egg, what does this guy mean?" Could it be that his real thoughts were to surrender? ”

Chen Xian turned his head to look at Ye Tongzhang, "You're right, Guo Li is afraid that this is the idea!" ”

Ye Tongzhang suddenly thought of something, "Now the four city gates are under his control, if he really wants to surrender, he only needs to open any city gate, and we will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Chen Xian's face was solemn and he nodded.

Ye Tongzhang frowned again: "If Ye Tongzhang has this idea, why hasn't he taken action yet?" ”

Chen Xiandao: "I guess it's because he didn't dare when Liu Yuanjun was there, as soon as Liu Yuanjun went, he moved his mind, but he couldn't just open the city gate, and the Qianjun didn't necessarily believe him, so he needed time to contact the top of the Qianjun army, and even the emperor of Qianguo, and the two sides agreed on the details before they could act, which took time!" ”

"Makes sense!" Ye Tongzhang agreed with Chen Xian's statement, and he began to worry again: "Once he gets in touch with the Qianjun, won't it mean that the time for me to die has arrived?" We can't sit still! ”

Chen Xian was not quite sure about his guess, he said: "This matter is just a guess between you and me, if we want to take action, we must find a way to confirm it, otherwise we have wronged him, and the two sides will lose a lot of money when the time comes, wouldn't it be a cheap Qianguo people for nothing?" ”

"That's right, we should find a way to confirm this! By the way, I think I can send someone to arrest one or two of his cronies or his own soldiers and torture them, what do you think? ”

"Okay, I'll take care of this!" Chen Xian agreed without even thinking about it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Li went home to rest, and the two pro-soldiers came out of Guo's mansion soon after, and were kidnapped when passing through an alley, covered their heads and then stuffed into a carriage, and the carriage quickly disappeared, at this time there were no people in the city for a long time, and the ordinary civilians who remained in the city were basically the servants of the officials, and the number was very small, and the whole city seemed empty, and no one saw the two pro-soldiers being captured.

After a brutal interrogation, Chen Xian got the news he wanted.

Ye Tongzhang was then invited over by Chen Xian.

"General Chen, did you send someone to invite me over because there was a result at that time?"

Chen Xian invited Ye Tongzhang to sit down and said: "Yes, I sent someone to arrest two of Guo Li's personal soldiers in the afternoon, and after interrogation, they confessed that Guo Li put down his most trusted personal soldier Wu Jinbao on the city wall with a hanging basket last night, and one of them also saw that before Wu Jinbao was put down on the city wall, Guo Li had handed him a letter, but they didn't know what was written on it!" ”

As soon as Ye Tongzhang sat down, he suddenly got up: "This dog thief actually colluded with Qianguo and betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, and he deserves death!" General Chen, without further ado, let's lead the troops over and arrest him now and take control of the four gates and the city wall!" ”

Chen Xian hurriedly stabilized Ye Tongzhang, "General Ye must not be impulsive, it is broad daylight, and it is too quiet at this time, which will inevitably arouse Guo Li's vigilance and precautions. ”

"Also, we only learned of his intentions, and we didn't catch him with conclusive evidence, not only will he not admit it, but he will never be caught in a hurry, and the soldiers under his command will also be dissatisfied, and it will be a big trouble if it is not handled well at that time! Therefore, we have to think about this matter in the long run! ”

Ye Tongzhang asked: "How to think in the long run?" This is all burning eyebrows, General Chen, you don't want to be a woman, you must make a decision at this time, otherwise you will suffer from it! ”

Chen Xian thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will go to Wang Fuwen later, and ask them to convene the officials and generals in the name of the Assassin's Mansion to discuss the matter of where to go tonight, and discuss the question of where to go again, I think he should be very happy!" As long as Guo Li comes, let's do it in the Assassin's Mansion, take him down first, control his soldiers and horses, and then talk about it! ”

At this time, there is no one in Chengdu City, and there is no one to suppress a military general like Ye Tongzhang, he is very bold, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, just do it!" ”

At sunset, all the officials and several generals in the city were given the rule, and they asked to go to the Assassin's Mansion after dinner to discuss the question of whether to surrender or defend.

This question has been discussed twice, but each time to no avail, and in the end it was a disappointment, and those officials who wanted to surrender were anxious, because they knew that the sooner they surrendered, the better, and the longer it dragged on, the more the Qianguo monarchs and ministers would not want to see them.

After dinner, the officials came to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion one after another, Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang were the last to arrive, they brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and quietly surrounded the Assassin's Mansion.

"General Chen, General Ye here—"

In the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, all the officials who were talking stopped.

Ma Zhongliang, who was engaged in governance, was a little unhappy, "General Chen, General Ye, I heard that this meeting was convened at your request, why did you two come the latest?" ”

Ye Tongzhang's face was fierce, and he hugged his fists: "I'm sorry everyone, there are some things that have been delayed temporarily, but General Chen and I should not be too late!" ”

Don't drive Yang Ling: "Okay, okay, it's not too early, since the two generals have arrived, let's start, I don't know what the topic is this time?" ”

Chen Xian immediately said: "This time, General Ye and I took the lead in summoning you here because there is something to discuss, and now the situation is extremely unfavorable to us, and we have no leader, so General Ye and I plan to nominate one person to preside over the overall situation, and all officials and generals must obey this person's dispatch!" ”

Wang Fuwen asked, "Then I don't know who General Chen and General Ye are nominating?" ”

"General Sima Kong!"

The officials all looked at each other.

Ma Zhongliang looked at the others, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that this matter is inappropriate, right?" ”

Guo Li saw that some people objected, and he also said: "Ben Jiang also thinks it's inappropriate!" ”

Chen Xian asked rhetorically: "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Li was a little annoyed, this Chen Xian clearly intended to target him, he said angrily: "Isn't this obvious? It's not that I, Guo, look down on him, he can't even do Sima well, can he still do a good job of the duties of a assassin? ”

Kong Yingxian, who was sitting next to Guo Li, finally broke out, he endured it for many years, and finally couldn't hold it anymore at this moment, got up and drew his sword angrily and said: "The surname is Guo, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time!" ”

Guo Li was startled, but he didn't admit it, and immediately drew his sword to fight back, "Come on, I'm afraid of you!" ”

No one thought that these two would make a move in this situation, Kong Yingxian just couldn't help but draw his sword, and didn't really want to kill Guo Li, but Guo Li was a ruthless character, and he wouldn't spare people when he succeeded, and Kong Yingxian retreated again and again.

Chen Xian didn't see it well, so he immediately drew his sword and joined the battle group, Ye Tongzhang was not idle, and for a while, the hall was full of the sound of swords intersecting.

Guo Liton felt bad, the three of them besieged him, how could he fight? Immediately, while parrying, he shouted: "Come on, come on—"

Chen Xian shouted: "Guo Li, you sent people to collude with the cadres, communicate with foreign countries, and intend to betray the Great Song Dynasty and betray your colleagues, your crime is unforgivable. ”

Guo Li's face changed greatly, and he continued to shout: "Pro-Guard, Pro-Guard!" ”

"You call it, even if you scream and cut your throat, no one will answer you, all your guards have been taken down by us, and you won't put down your weapons and surrender!"

Kong Yingxian was completely stunned, his hand holding the sword involuntarily stopped, he didn't expect Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang to be so bold, they had already sent troops to solve Guo Li's guards outside, and they wanted to take him down.

The officials in the hall had already been frightened and hidden, and when they heard Chen Xian's shout, they all showed surprise on their faces, this Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang actually launched a mutiny?

"Guys, is that so?" Ma Zhongliang was shocked and frightened.

At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers ran over and surrounded the lobby, and even these officials were all surrounded, and some people wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the officers and soldiers, and a cold and shining spear was put on their bodies, which frightened these officials and retreated again and again.

"You guys, what do you want to do?"

"No one is allowed to leave without the permission of the general!"

The generals' words made the officials realize that something was wrong.

When the officials were panicking, a scream suddenly came from the hall, and everyone immediately looked into the hall, only to see that Kong Yingxian had fallen in a pool of blood at some point.

What just happened?

"Kill-" Some officers and soldiers rushed into the lobby, and in a moment's time, under the shadow of the sword and sword, Guo Li was cut into meat sauce.

Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang walked out of the hall with their blades, Ye Tongzhang was still carrying Guo Li's head, and the officials were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

"General Chen, what do you—what do you want to do?" Don't drive Yang Ling stammered.

Chen Xian ignored Yang Ling and said to Ye Tongzhang: "General Ye, you will take someone to raid Guo Li's mansion, and I will take someone to take over the defense of the city wall to prevent Guo Li's men from rebelling!" ”

"And these people?" Ye Tongzhang pointed at these officials and asked.

"I'll take care of these people!"

"Good!" Ye Tongzhang handed Guo Li's head to Chen Xian, and waved to his generals: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

As the sound of footsteps faded away, Ye Tongzhang disappeared into the street with his people.

Chen Xian looked at these officials, his face showed a brotherly look, and he raised his hand and waved: "Kill-"

All the officials were so shocked that their eyes were waiting out, and Yang Ling pointed at Chen Xian and scolded: "Chen Xian, you dare? ”

"Hmph, why wouldn't Ben dare? Don't think that Ben General doesn't know your thoughts, you people have wanted to surrender for a long time, but you didn't vote to stay, you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of the court raising you? The soldiers obeyed the order and killed—"

"Kill—" The generals yelled and pressed forward step by step with their spears, and the officials were stabbed into bloody holes one by one.
