Chapter 182: Siege
Hearing that the spies came to report that Sun Ze was going out at this time, Liu Shiyuan didn't care. Although the old fox was very cunning, he didn't think that he could do anything with the people in Jingweiying, besides, he still had the eldest prince in hand, and he was not afraid of them coming hard.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Shiyuan followed what he told the officials of the DPRK and China, and led the soldiers who defended the city to defend Huajing. And with such an experienced person in leading troops, the defense of Huajing City Wall has also been improved, and it is not as unorthodox as it looked before.
But fortunately, those people did not start the siege because they were tired from the journey that day, which also made the soldiers on the city wall breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that they are cowardly, but no one would have thought that one day they would be attacked by other countries' troops under Huajing, so Huajing's guards are not heavy, but they are responsible for daily law and order. Coupled with the existence of the Jingwei camp in Beijing, those people are even more lax. Suddenly faced with such a situation, they are still a little weak.
In the palace, Yuquan Palace.
Today can be called the most shameful day for the Dragon Emperor of Yuquan Palace. Under their noses, people "robbed" the eldest prince, and at the same time let Concubine Chen die in Huangquan, they never thought that they would fail.
Yes, failed. In their minds, something happened to the object they were protecting, and their mission naturally failed. Although the emperor is no longer there, there is no abnormality in the internal system of the Dragon Palace, because the emperor's bloodline is still there, and their Dragon Imperial is still there.
It's just that until the evening, no one came to tell them what to do next, so they could only stay in the Yuquan Palace. Although the door was guarded, it was easy for them to get out. It's just that after Concubine Chen's death, Concubine Yu Guifei let people spread the word that if they dared to break out, then the eldest prince would be in danger, so even if they were all strong in martial arts, they didn't dare to make a mistake.
However, in the middle of the night, they received instructions from Hua Er, asking them to cooperate with the people outside. It's very fortunate to be able to connect with the outside world, otherwise they would really just be idlers.
As for how to cooperate, this needs to be cracked, because Hua Er uses the secret language used by the high-level inside the Dragon Palace, which ordinary people can't understand. And in Yuquan Palace, except for Hua Er, who secretly protects Concubine Chen, only Mama Lu understands. Even Ziyue, who is quite reusable, doesn't know about these things, because in the end, she and Hua Er are not in the same system.
Speaking of which, I have to mention a few words about the internal mechanics of Dragon Palace.
In the previous life, the Dragon Emperor was completely a hodgepodge, and anyone could enter. Because Li Yiqian was confident that he could control them, that is, this "self-confidence", the Dragon Emperor in the previous life became an organization that all kinds of spies had, and completely lost the meaning of its existence. After being reborn in this life, Li Yiqian has been purging and developing the power of the Dragon Emperor in the past few years, and for some reason, there are not many people who know the Dragon Emperor in this life, so everything will progress so quickly.
And the dragon royal is subdivided into many departments, guarding, intelligence, assassination, business...... As long as it can expand its power, Li Yiqian almost thought of it. Of course, he would never want those vicious people. A lot of people here were already in it, but a lot of people were added to it. This is also the reason why he dared to talk to Wang Jinyun about the conditions at that time, because he knew that there were people loyal to him among the Dragon Emperor, but in the previous life, he was too arrogant and ignored the opinions of those people, which led to the meaninglessness of the existence of the Dragon Palace.
Purple Moon itself belonged to the intelligence department, and was only later transferred to the guard. And Hua Er was originally subordinate to the security department, he was originally by Li Yiqian's side, and was later assigned here to protect Lin Yaxin. Although the object of protection has changed, his status has not changed at all, and it is still the same as before.
During the day, Hua Er had something to do and went out of the palace, which caused no one on the side of Yuquan Palace to call the shots, and they didn't dare to act rashly, which indirectly caused Liu Yuyang to break into the dormitory. It was only later that they received Lin Yaxin's order before they dared to expose their skills.
Although the Queen Mother has lived in the palace for so many years, there has never been a time when she has been more stimulated than these two days. During the day, I just tried to keep myself from falling, but at night, when I was lying in bed alone, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
Think about it for most of my life, and nothing has been successful. I used to live for the family, but later I worked for the children. But in the end, the family had abandoned her a long time ago, and the children had left her. She can be said to be a complete loser. Tears wet the Queen Mother's sideburns, and this tough-looking old man was just a poor person in the end.
Outside the palace, Wang Gu's mansion was lit up all night until it was almost dawn. To say that Wang Gu has been driven out of the palace by the Queen Mother, and Li Yiqian has already gone, he may have no hope of entering the palace in this life, but Wang Gu is still so busy, it is really incomprehensible. However, in the hearts of Liu Shiyuan and the others, this is just a small imperial doctor, and it is far from having any practical value, so they will not waste their strength to let people stare here. Of course, it was precisely because of this little disdain that they finally sent them a big surprise.
It seemed like an uneventful night, and no one could tell how many people were waiting in the shadows.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the troops stationed outside Huajing City moved for some reason. Seeing this, Liu Shiyuan hurriedly gave an order to the generals in charge of guarding the city gate, asking them to be under martial law to prevent foreign enemies from attacking the city gate. At the same time, he was also estimating the time in his heart, and the people he transferred should be almost there. Immediately, this Huajing was completely in his pocket, even if Zhao Jing and the old man came, it would be useless.
Sure enough, within an hour, the men were arrayed. There are also people in the city who have begun to call for battle, but Liu Shiyuan knows that their task is to defend the city and wait for his people to arrive, and he only needs to delay the time now. Moreover, even if he was really attacked by these people, there would be no loss for him, and when the time came, wouldn't it be even more obvious that he would be able to take Huajing back with his soldiers and horses? This regent, he should be decided!
With an idea in his heart, Liu Shiyuan was even less anxious. Just tell those people to hold on. Those people were people who had never participated in the war, and naturally they were the only ones who obeyed his orders.
And it was only then that they knew that those outside were actually Lan Guo's army. So many people from Languo came to Huajing without any movement, and if no one helped them, even those of them who had not read knew that it was impossible. I was disgusted with the power struggles of these officials, but they still desperately defended the city because of the weighing and their loved ones.
Seeing that they had no intention of going out of the city to face the battle, the people under the city no longer bothered to speak, and directly ordered people to start attacking the city. Before they came, they had confirmed that the defense of Huajing City was not at all better than those border fortresses, and although it would take some trouble to capture it, it was not so difficult.
Seeing that those people really began to move, there was still a brief commotion among the soldiers on the city wall. Soon, however, they began to guard the city walls according to the willow stone edge. Because it was easier to defend the city than to attack it, for a while, the two sides actually scored five or five points. But if this situation continues, it will be a matter of time before the city is destroyed.
At this critical moment, the soldier in charge of the lookout hurriedly reported after discovering the abnormality: "General, yellow smoke is billowing in the distance, and it seems that a cavalry is coming." ”
"Oh? If General Ben's estimate is good, there is no need to panic when reinforcements come. Tell them that if we hold on to this offensive, we will win! Liu Shiyuan was determined that his people had finally come.
"Yes!" Hearing that there were reinforcements, that person's emotions instantly became excited.
Soon, those who came with the dust had already rushed to the rear of the Languo soldiers. And their number was far greater than that of these people, and the situation outside the city gates was turned around in an instant. Those who arrived after them immediately fought with the Arashi soldiers stationed in their place, and they frantically attacked the enemies who tried to invade their land.
This was originally a thing to be happy about, but looking at this soldier who was frantically harvesting the enemy's life, Liu Shiyuan couldn't laugh at all, because a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
In the palace, Liu Yuyang knew all Liu Shiyuan's plans, and she also knew what would happen outside today, and the overall situation of Huajing was already in their hands, so she fell asleep very comfortably.
In the morning, it is the time for the guards to change shifts in various parts of the palace, and for some reason, a layer of guards has also been added outside the Yuzhen Palace, so now is also their shift time. Yesterday's guards were all sent in by Liu Shiyuan through Liu Yuyang, in order to prevent anyone from attacking the idea of the eldest prince. Now that Lin Yaxin and Li Yiqian are dead, they naturally don't have to stay there all, so they have changed shifts with the defenders of the palace.
Of course, the biggest reason why they dared to do this was because the commander of the palace defenders was Liu Shiyuan's people, and he had saved that person's life back then, so he naturally joined Liu Shiyuan's command, and Liu Shiyuan's biggest reliance in the city was also him.
As long as he gives an order, the entire palace will be captured in an instant, and the manpower everywhere will be controlled. It's just that he doesn't know if Li Yiqian secretly still has manpower, just like those in Yuquan Palace. Liu Shiyuan already knew what happened in the palace yesterday, but he knew in advance what Liu Yuyang had done, and there was nothing he disagreed with. After all, the little prince only needs one mother, and it is useless to have more.
