The old man seemed to feel King Pan's gaze, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you are about to ascend the throne and become emperor, why are you still so unbreathable?" ”

Pan Wang was said to be in his mind, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "It's cold, it's a little cold...... However, please give me advice, what should we do next? ”

"Siege."

"Siege?" King Pan was taken aback, looked at the towering palace wall, and said in surprise: "We don't have siege equipment, how can we successfully attack the city?" ”

Di Lao sneered: "With your hundreds of palace guards, of course there are no siege equipment, but we have been prepared for a long time, and we have transported the giant wood to the city many days ago, and the disassembly and assembly have been completed this afternoon, and it is ready." ”

Oh?

Panwang's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, as long as he had siege equipment and a small palace wall, he would definitely be able to conquer it within an hour and set the overall situation.

With a wave of Boss Di's hand, the soldiers behind him got out of the way one after another, and carried out more than a dozen ladders, which were neatly placed on the ground.

Just when Di Lao gave an order, the soldiers changed their formation and prepared to attack the city, only to see two big flags erected on the palace tower, and they kept waving cross.

This is...... Surrender?

Di Lao frowned, this is a flag language only in the army, and it means that when the enemy army is cornered, it means to surrender.

It's just that he was still iron-clad just now, and he swore to guard the palace gate, why did he surrender all of a sudden, this also changed too quickly, right?

……

Inside the palace gate, Zhang Hengren and a group of guards stood respectfully behind a palace maid, looking like they were obeying orders.

This palace maid is none other than Ji Ling'er.

As an imperial female official, she is not only the emperor's personal palace maid, but also holds a lot of power in her hands, and in all dynasties, the fate of the imperial female officials is about the same, which is equivalent to the emperor's internal woman, although the identity is a female official, but her influence in the palace is greater than that of ordinary concubines.

"Lady Officer, we ...... Do you really want to open the palace gates? It's too late to stop. Zhang Hengren stood behind Ji Ling'er, his face hesitant, and the rest of the guards also stared at Ji Ling'er vigilantly, silent.

After all, just now, this female official actually sent a decree to let the Praetorian Guards open the gate of the palace and welcome the rebels into the palace!

Did you hear it wrong?

In other words, it is a false proclamation.

Therefore, although everyone was respectful to Ji Ling'er on the surface, and sent people to shake the banner and surrender, every guard was very suspicious in their hearts, silently held down the handle of the knife, and as long as they found the possibility of the edict, they immediately cut down the female official of the imperial order to the ground.

Ji Ling'er naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Hengren's words, and said coldly: "Commander Zhang doesn't believe it? ”

Zhang Hengren gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said: "Where the duty is, please also ask the female official to show the holy decree and token, otherwise it will be difficult to obey your fate!" ”

Ji Ling'er glanced at him, quite helpless, this way was because every palace gate checkpoint had to check the authenticity of the holy decree, so the road that could have been completed in a quarter of an hour was delayed for half an hour.

Of course, Ji Ling'er was also muttering in her heart, she had already mobilized the Praetorian Guards to defend the palace, why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly change his mind and order all checkpoints to release the rebels, and hide the truth about His Majesty the Emperor's command?

Could it be that you want to repeat the plan to ambush Zheng Kang last time?

Ji Ling'er was puzzled, but as an imperial female official, she only needed to follow the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and these decision-making strategies were not something she should consider.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Hengren had already checked the authenticity of the holy decree and token, returned it to her, and said with a fist: "Where is the duty, I offended the female official, please forgive me!" ”

Ji Ling'er nodded: "Lord Zhang's dedication to his duties is very admirable, and I also ask my lord to let the rebels enter the palace in accordance with the holy decree." ”

"Yes! Obey the Divine Commandment! ”

Zhang Hengren clenched his fists, and then gave an order, slowly opening the gate of the palace, and he himself led several guards out of the palace together, posing to greet him.

In the distance, Di Lao, Panwang and others in the square were already confused.

This...... Fraud?

Di Lao, Panwang, Shangguan Mingwen and others all looked at each other, looking at the wide open palace gate, and did not dare to enter.

His Majesty the Emperor of Cangguo today is resourceful and uses soldiers like gods, which is already a well-known thing, and even ordinary people sit together and chat, they can also speak vividly, vividly, and no one has ever dared to question it.

Therefore, when the palace gate slowly opened, everyone's hearts were weird, and they always felt how similar this scene was.

Could it be that the little emperor wants to repeat his old tricks? Fearsome deceit is about to appear again?

Enter? Or not?

For a while, everyone was suspicious and difficult to choose.

I have to say that the two wars planned by Yang Mu completely changed the concept of Zheng, Cang, and Shen fighting with troops, and also completely aroused the fear of the enemy army.

A very embarrassing situation has appeared, everyone's purpose is to attack the palace, is it because of fear of fraud at this time, do you withdraw from the army?

Everyone understood this truth, but no one dared to express their position, but focused their eyes on Di Lao, because he was the only one among the people present, a general who led troops to fight and was proficient in the art of war, and only his decision could be truly effective.

After all, more than half of the 2,000 soldiers behind him were brought by him!

"Di Lao, can't we enter?" Pan Wang couldn't help it, every moment he stayed here was torment, so he asked out loud.

Di Lao's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he seemed to hesitate, and then he seemed to have made up his mind, stomped heavily on crutches, and said in annoyance: "Enter!" Why not! Do we have any other choice? ”

As he spoke, with a wave of his big hand, he called a few of his guards to step forward, and after finding out the situation, he waved his army forward.

"Stop!" In front of the palace gate, Zhang Hengren stopped the team, hugged his fists and said: "Please also show the edict of succession!" ”

Di Lao and King Pan were at the rear of the team, seeing this, they smiled, since they proposed to check the edict of succession, then it must be because the commander of the Praetorian Guard learned about the death of the little emperor, and the person who knew the time was Junjie, and made a compromise in advance.

As for the edict of succession...... King Pan waved his hand, and a personal guard presented a piece of brocade cloth, and then sent it to Zhang Hengren's hand.

Zhang Hengren took the brocade cloth, opened it carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Why don't you see the seal?" ”

"Hahahaha! The Commander is too worried! Shangguan Mingwen stood behind and suddenly smiled: "The matter is urgent, Your Majesty did not bring the seal with you, so I temporarily wrote an edict, if the Lord Commander does not believe it, you can compare His Majesty's handwriting...... By the way, King Ze and King Yi also saw it with their own eyes, and this matter is absolutely not false. ”

"That's right! We saw it with our own eyes! King Ze and King Yi emerged from behind the line and shouted loudly.

Zhang Hengren was deliberately confusing the enemy, so he pretended to hesitate, and then showed a flattering face: "In this way, a certain can still trust the two princes, Weichen hereby congratulates His Majesty first, and he will not give up in the future, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Well said! Say! King Pan laughed heartily, sent a small team of men, and stationed the palace gate with the Praetorian Guard, and then ordered the army to continue to march towards the inner court.

All the way through many checkpoints, several palace gates, nearly 2,000 soldiers, finally through the outer court, arrived at the inner court.
