As soon as Gao Yihuan arrived at the city gate, he saw a blue-robed official jump down and slam in front of the city gate, blood flowing out of his head and staining a large area of the ground red.

This made the second brother frown slightly, he rode on the horse and waved his hand back, and the two personal soldiers crossed the barrier, came to the city gate, and dragged Fu Ruwei who jumped back, and the palace guards in the city actually forgot to release arrows.

The two pro-soldiers put Fu Ruwei on the ground, his head was covered with blood, the pro-guards sniffed and shook their heads, "Captain, hit the ground first, you can't be saved!" ”

When the second brother heard this, he felt uncomfortable for a while, as if he was holding his breath, and only after half a sound did he shake his head and sighed: "Find someone to recognize your identity, and then set up a monument and bury it." ”

After speaking, he glanced up at Wang Cheng, lowered his head and said to Jin Xiangang, who was standing by the horse with a knife: "There are cannons in Runing City, send someone to pull it over, and prepare to bombard the city." Let's take the royal city as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

Henan is a place of four wars, strategically easy to be attacked by others, and is in a very passive position. There are very few precedents in history for winning the world according to Zhongzhou, even if there is, such as Cao Mengde, it is because the world is falling apart, and it is difficult for the Quartet to reach a consensus at the same time to encircle and suppress, so that it has the opportunity to divide and win over, and each is broken, but Li Zicheng is facing a unified empire in Henan, which can be said to be enemies on all sides, but he has been staying in Henan, and he has also gained a foothold, which has a lot to do with the fact that there are too many clans in the Ming Dynasty in Henan.

Under the natural disaster, the accumulation of two or three generations of ordinary gentry, where can it be compared with more than two hundred years of feudal states. For the thieves, fighting these vassal states to obtain money and food is more than going to other places to fight a few prefectures. Li Zicheng fought Luoyang, and the thieves followed, opened the seal, and gathered millions of thieves, just because the thieves knew that they had money and food, and they could grab a lot of money.

If it is a different place, then Li Zicheng may not be able to gather a group of thieves, they are robbing for a living, unprofitable, who will work for Li Zicheng.

Chongfan is also a big domain for more than a hundred years, and the second brother is naturally salivating, and when he conquers Chongfan, he can not only get a large amount of money and food, but also make his reputation.

Of course, this reputation will definitely not be a good reputation, and this will inevitably affect him to move closer to the Ming Dynasty in the future, but with the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the Liukou, even if he sticks a hot face, he may not be able to please him, so he has always wanted to maintain his independence.

In history, after the loyal battalion defected to the Ming Dynasty, it was suppressed very badly, and finally simply ran away and established the Kuidong Thirteen Families, and the Great Western Army killed many vassal kings, but the situation was very different from the loyal battalion, because they became the last straw of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could not rely on.

The second brother obviously wants to be the latter, so it doesn't matter if he fights a chongfan now, as long as he is strong in the future.

On the city wall, Wang Shicong saw Fu Ru commit suicide for Yuecheng, and stretched out his hand and exclaimed. The situation of Runing, Wang Shicong is very clear, once the thieves enter the city, Runing will have no power to fight back, even if King Chong has thousands of family wealth, he is blocked in the royal city, money cannot recruit soldiers, and food cannot support people, which is equivalent to dung.

Fu Ruwei is the prefect of Runing, and if he loses his land, he will be questioned, and the key Chongwang Mansion will definitely be destroyed by thieves, which is equivalent to losing his relatives, he can't escape death no matter what, so he simply commits suicide, so as not to ask the court to question his family.

Zhu Youqiao was stunned, and when he heard a muffled sound, he saw Fu Ru commit suicide for jumping into the city, and his brain was so shocked that the three souls and six spirits were out of his body. It's over, it's over, even Fu Ruwei, who asked him to pay for food and recruit troops, and wanted to resist, committed suicide in despair, then Ru Ning must have no hope, it's all over.

Zhu Youjiao was not stupid, he instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, as soon as his legs were weak, he was about to sit down, and the two guards next to him immediately set him up one left and one right, and did not let him sit on the ground, and still maintained the majesty of the pro-domain.

Zhu Youqiao was helped, as if he was terminally ill, he looked at Wang Shicong, who had not committed suicide, "Wang Yanshi, how is this good!" ”

Wang Shicong watched the thieves gather outside the city, and a team of men and horses suddenly turned back and went straight to the Beicheng Fort, he didn't scold King Chong, but his heart was like ashes and said: "Your Highness asked the lower officials how to do it, and the lower officials thought that the matter was up to now, His Royal Highness should save a little face for the Ming Dynasty, and it should not fall into the hands of the thieves, it is better to raise fire and burn himself, in order to praise the wisdom of Taizu!" ”

Zhu Youjiao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he couldn't say a word, but he didn't expect Wang Shicong to suggest that he die.

In fact, Wang Shicong's suggestion is still very pertinent, how ugly Fu Fan's death is, how much to hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty, if he has the backbone to die by himself, the Ming Dynasty can still publicize and publicize, but he was killed by Li Zicheng, not only died, but also boosted the arrogance of the thief.

Zhu Youjiao's face was pale, knowing that it was useless to defend the city, he suddenly stood up again, and then hurriedly fled off the city wall and got into the palace, the guards in the city looked at each other, at a loss, and finally locked their eyes on Wang Shicong's body.

Wang Shicong saw the frightened faces and sighed, "The situation is like this, you can do it yourself!" ”

After speaking, he took out a knife from the waist of one of the guards and walked down the city wall, and the guards above looked at his back and called out a few times, "Wang Yanshi, Wang Yanshi~"

Not long after, Jin Xiangang dismantled a large general cannon from the city wall, erected it directly in front of the city gate, personally operated the cannon, and aimed directly at the city gate.

"Boom!" The cannon rang out, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, the cannon body retreated sharply, and an iron bullet slammed into the city gate, creating a depression. When they were ready to fire their second shot, the gates were opened by the defenders, and the soldiers guarding the royal city surrendered.

The second brother immediately hit his horse and entered the city, he first appeased the surrendered army for a few words, and then asked, "What about the Chongfan people?" ”

One of the guards trembled and said, "Your Royal Highness, you will return to the palace after leaving the city wall." ”

Gao Yihuan let Jin Xiangang control the soldiers and the city gate, he rode a horse with a knife, led more than 500 soldiers into the royal city, and waited in front of the palace gate, but saw a civil official standing between the stone lions with a knife, looking at him, there was no fear on his face, suddenly this thin official, let out a desperate roar from his mouth, he raised his sword high, and rushed towards him desperately, "Thief, the Ming army is ready to serve Wang Shicong will not surrender!" ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, turned his head to Zhao Zhuzi and said, "Captured, you want to live!" ”

"Okay." Zhao Zhuzi agreed, drew his knife to meet it, and slashed the war knife in Wang Shicong's hand with a knife, and then stretched out his foot and stumbled, Wang Shicong fell to the ground, and before he could react, a big hand grabbed him on his back, lifted him up, and finally clamped it under his armpit and walked back.

Wang Shicong struggled for a while, but a literati with thin arms and legs, and no power to restrain a chicken, his body was not yet a hundred pounds, where was the opponent of a reckless man like Zhao Zhuzi, no matter how he struggled, Zhao Zhuzi couldn't move at all while holding his arm, Wang Shicong only felt extremely ashamed, and could only scold more than once.

Gao Yihuan let him scold, "Hold it up first." Then the knife pointed at the palace gate, "Go, search with me!" ”

At that moment, a large number of people and horses rushed into the palace, and the palace was already in chaos, and a large group of attendants and palace maids screamed again and again, holding things and scurrying around in the palace.

Gao Yiguan reached out and grabbed a small chamberlain and lifted it up, "Say, where is the domain treasury and where is King Chong?" ”

The little eunuch trembled and said, "The treasury is in the southwest of the palace, and His Royal Highness seems to have gone there." ”

"Come with me!" Gao Yihuan threw away the servants, waved his hands and shouted, and a large group of soldiers followed him to the treasury.
