Ren Kuan, who has governed Chang'an City for so many years, has witnessed the arrival of the most prosperous era of the Han Dynasty. By the time of tonight's riots, he was ready to sacrifice his life for his country. However, he didn't expect that his worst plan would soon become a cruel reality.

Ren Kuan died. He died at the first intersection of Suzaku Street. Here, this Lord Chang'an Ling once led the people of Chang'an to clean up the spring snow and autumn leaves, and also celebrated the mighty victory of the Han army in sweeping the Siyi. Many people have great respect for this good ruler who loves the people like a son. Over the years, he was like an elder next door, lovingly guarding his people.

However, on this blood-stained moonlit night, the old man stood there with the knife in his hand, scrawny, and watched the hooves of the ironclad cavalry trample his body, but he did not dodge it in the slightest.

"Chang'an...... Your Majesty......! ”

With the blood gushing out, no one could hear the last words that came out of his mouth in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves. However, the bluestone street under him has been firmly remembered. The blood of him and many other brave men was clearly visible long after the riots had subsided. They penetrated deeply into the fabric of the city, blending with each other and turning into a spirit of loyalty and perseverance, becoming a symbol of this great imperial capital.

The person who killed them was not the clan force organized by the Marquis of Yingchuan, but the Han ironclad cavalry from the Xiliu Battalion outside Chang'an City!

What a ridiculous thing it was! The elite army that came on the orders of the emperor to intimidate Gyeonggi will aim its sharp long knives at the city's defenders of law and order? If it weren't for the fact that many people witnessed it that night, they wouldn't have believed that such a cruel fact happened on Suzaku Street.

Unfortunately, this is the truest reality. The cavalry under the command of the Son of Heaven Tiger Fu will be cold-blooded and ruthless killing tools once they put down their armor and their long knives are unsheathed. In their eyes, there is no difference in status. They were only commanded by the Emperor's envoys, who held the Tiger Talisman.

And now the person who commands them is Liu Zuoche, the son of the clan!

No one knows when the general of the palace of the great Han began to obey the will of the Marquis of Yingchuan. No one would know that from the moment he accepted the Emperor Tiger Talisman, he had officially embarked on the most arrogant path. This road cannot be turned back and cannot be regretted. Success, not failure!

Crazy gamblers become bloodthirsty and brutal once they have it all pressed. Liu Zuoche, who led the garrison of 20,000 Xiliu battalions to Chang'an, let the cavalry general led by him guard outside the city, and assigned various units to block all the passages from Chang'an to the outside world. And he himself led 5,000 cavalry and directly entered the city of Chang'an. What Liu Zuoche said loudly to all the soldiers was that if there were people in the city who wanted to cause rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor needed to use their strength to maintain the stability of Chang'an.

The duty of a soldier is absolute obedience! This iron law, which has been formulated in the army since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has forged the invincible soul of the Han army. Mighty all over the world, majestic in all directions! But at the same time, I'm afraid that even those who focused on cultivating this spirit back then did not expect that this would be a double-edged sword. Perhaps, when you don't expect it, you will suffer from it.

That is, in

In this context, the 5,000 cavalry who entered Chang'an City, with the direction pointed by Liu Zuoche's long knife, ruthlessly launched a "counterinsurgency".

Unfortunately, the defenders of Suzaku Street became the targets of their killing. Hearing the sound of the whole city chanting "Nine Gate Soldiers and Horses Rebellion", the cavalry troops who launched the charge did not have the slightest suspicion. Led by the former general, they trodden through the long street with unstoppable momentum, cutting down all the rebels under the hooves of their horses.

This is an asymmetrical confrontation. In less than a quarter of an hour, the wide street was covered with blood, and all the soldiers and horses of the Nine Gates and the people of the Chang'an Mansion, except for a few who were spared, were mostly killed or wounded, and fell into a pool of blood.

Shi Xia, who was stunned and grief-stricken, saw the death of Ren Kuan in Chang'an. He also witnessed the death of many of his former subordinates. Even he himself was badly wounded and unable to fight again. In the end, thanks to a few loyal and brave subordinates, he desperately protected him and retreated in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Shi Xia crouched on his horse, clutching the blood-stained knife tightly with his hand. His eyes turned red with anger, and the reason why he didn't fight to the death just now was not because he was greedy for life. Instead, he wanted to personally report the scene he saw to His Majesty the Emperor.

Who would have thought that more than 2,000 brothers in the army would suffer such a catastrophe tonight. They did not die at the hands of bandits, but they were killed as rebels! is so tragic, the injustice is as deep as the sea, the reason why he keeps this breath is to let the emperor and the world know what the truth is tonight!

In the eyes of the Marquis of Yingchuan and the clan forces, it doesn't matter what the truth is. Since the Hosoliu battalion army is all used by them, then this victory can already be expected. When everyone looked at Liu Zezhi again, their eyes became a little different.

"Dazong is really strategizing, winning a thousand miles! Unexpectedly, such foreshadowing had already been laid. With the help of General Liu Zuoche, great things can be done! ”

A lot of people who were still a little worried were completely relaxed now. In and around Gyeonggi, the garrison of the Horryagi camp is the most powerful existence. These elite cavalry who once dominated the Xiongnu battlefield, once in their hands, not to mention these military forces in Chang'an City, even other garrisons in nearby counties are not their opponents at all.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care much about the interests of the clan, of course we have to think of a way out for ourselves! As a descendant of the clan, Zuo Chexian's nephew naturally had to obey the call. Hum! The so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man, and if he is still obsessed with today, then he can't complain about the betrayal of all the people in the clan...... You don't have to think too much about it. This piece of Jiangshan Sheji was left by Emperor Gaozu to all our descendants, but it was not owned by him alone! ”

Now, Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, no longer has to hide his long-standing dissatisfaction. These rebellious words blurted out without the slightest scruples. And what else can anyone else say? Anyway, there is no turning back, so follow the leader of this sect and let it go completely!

"Da Zongzheng, although Yuan Zhao is not in Chang'an, there are many henchmen inside and outside the court who echo him! Among them, there are many wise and brave people, and before the thing is successful, it is not to be careless! ”

Someone whispered a reminder from the side. Secretly self-planned

The Marquis of Yingchuan raised his head arrogantly, he looked at the circle of moon halo like blood, and his face showed a hideous expression.

"Tonight, it's really a good day to kill...... Now that General Liu Zuoche is here, the forces we can use are sufficient! The elite cavalry of the Xiliu Battalion went to surround the Weiyang Palace to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. And these forces in our hands will immediately split up to eradicate those who may pose a threat to us! Ha ha...... After dawn, the people of the entire Chang'an will find that the world has been turned upside down here, and there is a new world! ”

So, not long after, at the mouth of Suzaku Street, which was dripping with blood, these people who had come together tonight because of common interests, after a brief discussion, unanimously agreed to act according to the plan of the Marquis of Yingchuan.

"General Liu, if the Yulin Army guarding Weiyang Palace is an obstacle, he will refuse to obey the order. What should I do? ”

After the killing, Liu Zuoche heard someone ask like this, he did not answer directly, but wiped the blood on the knife and glanced at Yingchuan Hou. He knew that the other party would have a clear instruction. Sure enough, a sneer was heard.

"The Tiger Talisman granted by His Majesty the Emperor has supreme military command power. Anyone who stands in the way can be killed! ”

Although they knew that their actions were already rebellion, it was still shocking to say it so clearly. What followed was an even greater frenzy. There can be a few beats in life! Under the temptation of huge interests and power, nothing can stop them.

In the desolate night, in Chang'an, centered on Suzaku Street, chaos began to spread gradually. Because of the demise of the Nine Gates of Soldiers and Horses, and because of the martyrdom of Lord Chang Anning, there is no other force to maintain the peace of the city for the time being.

No matter how long Suzaku Street is, there will eventually come an end. And at the end of it is Weiyang Palace. When Shi Xia, who came with a serious injury on a single horse, finally saw the majestic and tall palace gate, he fought with his last strength and gritted his teeth, lest he would not be able to hold on to this last distance.

At this time, Weiyang Palace has been warned. Hearing that there was a rebellion in the city, Xun Yu, the general of the Yulin Army who was in charge of the guard, was taken aback. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, although he didn't know what the details of the situation outside were, but the safety of Weiyang Palace couldn't be negligent at all. He immediately mobilized all his defensive forces and heavily guarded all the important points. And he himself personally led hundreds of forest troops to the Vermilion Bird Gate to check out.

The dark night was lit by the firelight, and only the distant hooves and the noise of horses could be heard getting closer. Xun Yu ordered all the Yulin troops to stand in formation. Then someone was heard shouting.

"The clan forces are in turmoil! The army of the Hosoliu battalion entered the city and slaughtered ...... General Xun, protect Your Majesty's safety! ”

Xun Yu could see clearly in the firelight that the people who came over on horseback were almost soaked in blood. They are all good talents in the army, of course he knows that this is Shixia, the general of the Nine Gates, but they have a deep friendship on weekdays.

"General Shi! You......? ”

Xun Yu hugged the Jiumen General who fell off his horse, only to find that he had been hit by three arrows and had been wounded by a knife more than ten times! It's already dying.

Dozens of feet away, the ironclad cavalry was rolling across the entire street, approaching the palace gate.
