Sima Dekan walked in front of Yu Wenhua and suddenly bowed down.

"We are willing to respect General Yuwen as the leader, and only General Yuwen is the leader!"

Originally, Yu Wenhua who had just followed everyone to say that he wanted to fight back to Guanzhong was stunned on the spot, but Sima Dekan never told him that he wanted to support him as the leader?

Besides, everyone was discussing rebellion just now, and it was not just about escaping.

Rebellion will lose your head.

But Sima Dekan led the generals to bow down in front of him, all shouting to support him as the leader, and at this time Yu Wenhua was both frightened and a little excited.

He was afraid that the rebellion would fail, but he had a hint of fantasy in his heart, since he could get the support of so many soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, he might have a chance to succeed, and maybe he would be able to establish a new dynasty and become the founding emperor in the future.

Yu Wenhua and his hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

Sima Dekan was still there urging him to take over the position of chief.

"Okay, as long as the brothers work together, then I will be the leader." Half a day later, Yu Wenhua and the greed in his heart finally overcame reason and stood up and accepted everyone's support.

The wind was whirring outside.

The north wind howled, and the sky was dark.

The generals were ordered to retreat, and at the same time, Yu Wenzhihe, Li Yuanji, Pei Qiantong and other cadres also went according to their plans.

At dusk.

Sima Dekan stole out of the stable door and secretly sharpened his weapon.

Evening.

Hu Benlang put Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong into the palace on duty, and was specially responsible for the main hall. And Tang Fengyi, the city gate lang, was responsible for closing the city gate.

But they had already agreed that the doors would not be locked today.

At the time of the third watch, Sima Dekan gathered tens of thousands of horses in Dongcheng, lit a fire and echoed the series of Xiaoguo military camps outside the city.

Countless fires lit up half of the Jiangdu City.

The fire was found in the palace, and someone hurriedly reported it to the emperor.

Yang Guang climbed the tall building and saw the countless fires with his own eyes, like starlight and fire dragons.

"What happened?"

Pei Qiantong, the general of the prison gate, stepped forward and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it is reported outside that there is a fire in the grass workshop, and the soldiers of Xiaoguo are struggling to put out the fire, please don't worry about Your Majesty." ”

At this time, it was the middle of the night, and the palace gate was supposed to be locked and isolated from the outside world, so the emperor believed this result.

And at this time it was outside the city.

Yuwen Zhiji and Meng Bing had gathered more than 1,000 horses outside the palace, and hijacked Feng Pule, the general of Hou Weihu Benlang, who was patrolling the night, and sent troops to guard the streets in front of the palace.

"Why hasn't Li Yuanji come yet?" Yu Wenzhi and a suit of iron armor, holding a jade sword, looked left and right.

"This yellow ugly won't be retreating from the battle and regretting it, right?"

"Maybe, his mother's Li family is a group of soft eggs, forget it, don't worry about them, anyway, we will still succeed tonight."

At this time, in the Tang Guogong Mansion, not far from the palace, Li Yuanji was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

"Where are you going?"

"Go do something big!" Li Yuanji said with a long lance.

"I think you're going to do something stupid, stupid!" Li Shimin snatched his brother's lance, "Don't come back quickly, my father wants to see you." ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm done and when I get back."

Li Shimin stopped Yuan Ji, "Are you pretending to be confused or are you really stupid?" Do you know what Yuwenzhi and they are going to do, they are going to mutiny and kill the king! ”

"How can my Li family come along?"

"Yuwen Zhihe didn't say that he wanted to kill the king, he only said that we would fight tonight and rob the emperor and return to Guanzhong together."

"Foolish, do you really believe this kind of nonsense? Let me tell you, now that Sima Dekan and others have embraced Yu Wenhua and the leader, they will attack the palace tonight to kill the emperor, and then stand on their own. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Li Yuanji didn't believe that Yuwen Zhiji would deceive him like this.

At this time, Li Yuan came over wearing armor and carrying a sword, "Rebel, get back for me!" ”

On the hall.

The father and son of the Li family are all wearing armor, in addition to Chai Shao, Duan Lun, Feng Shaoshi, Dou Dan and other people, all of whom are wearing armor.

"Why are you there?"

Li Yuan glared at his son and said to everyone, "There is going to be a big incident tonight, we have to discuss the countermeasures." ”

·······

The crown prince's grandson, Yang Qi, received a secret letter late at night, saying that Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan were going to rebel, and asked the prince to quickly find a way out of the city.

However, after reading the letter, the grandson Yang Qi did not leave immediately, but thought about going to the palace to report the news.

The road had already been blocked by the rebels, so he jumped into the roadside sewer, sneaked in through the sluice gate next to Hong Lim Gate, and came all the way to Xuanwu Gate.

But at this time, the people of Xuanwu Gate stopped him and did not let him in, and it was obvious that Xuanwu Gate had been occupied by the rebels.

Yang Qi was at a loss, and in the face of the question, he had to say, "I suddenly had a stroke and am about to die, please let me say goodbye to the emperor in person." ”

"Hahaha, a sudden stroke? If you have a stroke, can you still sneak through the sluice gate through the sewers? Can you still speak? ”

After a while, Pei Qian came through.

He glanced at Yang Qi from a distance, and then beckoned his subordinates, "This is Taisun, lock him up." ”

At this time, Jiangdu City was in chaos everywhere, and the hundreds of officials and residents in the city were panicked, but they didn't dare to go out.

Only Li Yuan took his family and dozens of Ding tribes and quietly went out, they disguised themselves as rebels on the road, and then escaped from Jiangdu City over the city wall.

It's not dawn yet.

The rebels have surrounded the palace, and Sima Dekan transferred his henchmen, and then handed them over to Pei Qiantong, asking him to replace all the guards of the palace gates.

Then Pei Qiantong led hundreds of men and horses straight into the palace into the elephant hall, and the guards on duty reprimanded loudly, stretched their bows and released arrows. Pei Qiantong retreated first, ordered the doors to be closed, only the east gate was opened, and then turned back to drive the guards in the Chengxiang Palace.

Dugu Sheng, the general of the right tun guard, is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is on duty as a guard, although he is old, he also personally raises a sword and scolds the thief.

"Dare to rebel against the thief, dare to commit rebellion!"

Pei Qiantong stood there with a large group of rebels, and said to Dugu Sheng, "Old general, the situation is like this, why do you go against the trend, please put down your arms, we will not hurt the general, and we can also protect the general's glory and wealth." ”

"Shameless dog thief, take your life!"

Dugu Sheng did not want to surrender, but swung his knife to attack.

Pei Qiantong and the others fired random arrows together, but Dugu Sheng still rushed forward with a bow and arrow, and the two sides were scuffled, but they were outnumbered, and finally they were exhausted and killed by the rebels.

In front of the Xuanwu Gate.

Prince Qianniu Dugu Kaiyuan led hundreds of guards to the Xuanwu Gate, and shouted to the palace, "The palace is fully equipped with weapons, enough to break the thief, please Your Majesty personally face the enemy, and the people's hearts will naturally be stable, otherwise, disaster is in front of you." ”

He also thought that the Xuanwu Gate was still in the hands of the palace guards.

But they didn't know that the palace gate had already been occupied by the rebels at this time, they didn't pay attention to the reply, Dugu Kaiyuan shouted for a long time, and no one answered.

At this time, the rebellion was getting bigger and bigger, and the hundreds of people under Dugu Kaiyuan gradually dispersed.

Originally, Xuanwumen had an elite force, and the emperor had specially selected hundreds of brave and strong officials and slaves to be placed in Xuanwumen, called the envoys, that is, in order to prevent emergencies, these envoys were treated extremely well, and even gave palace maids to envoys.

But today, the envoys are all on holiday. And this person who gave the envoy a holiday was the Sigong Wei family, the Wei family was a female official who was usually trusted by the emperor, and Yu Wenhua hooked up with her early on. Today, according to the meaning of Yu culture, the Wei clan pretended to be a holy decree, and gave all these hundreds of brave envoys a holiday, resulting in an important palace gate like Xuanwu Gate, which was unguarded, so that Pei Qiantong could easily occupy it.

It also blocked the hundreds of people and horses who came to help from afar.
