The Xianbei people have surrounded Qiangyin to the fullest, and 5,000 people in the city are desperately holding on to the city walls.

As the city closest to the border, Qiangyin City has been expanded several times, the city wall is as high as four zhang (one zhang in the Han Dynasty is about two meters three), the materials are sufficient, and the Xianbei people are not good at attacking the city, and they can still hold out for a day or two.

At the same time, inside the city of Jinyang.

Xu Guangqi had already received letters from Liu De and Li Jing, of course, Li Jing's letter only mentioned the Qiang invasion, and did not mention the matter of asking for help, but the situation mentioned in Liu De's letter was urgent.

But at present, there are not many troops he can use, and he will definitely not be able to move the guards of the royal city, so only the soldiers in the original Montenegrin army who have not yet completed their training will remain.

"Come on, go and invite General Zhang Yan."

Shao leaning, Zhang Yan was dressed in a military uniform, and came to Xu Guangqi in a hurry.

Xu Guangqi didn't say anything polite to Zhang Yan, and said directly: "General Zhang, I received an urgent report from the leader of the Yanmen border pass, the Xianbei people have crossed the border and invaded the Tang State, and now the country is empty, and the guards can't move lightly, so they can only rely on the general." ”

Zhang Yan knew that the situation was urgent, so she didn't ask much, and said directly: "Please Xu Sikong give an order." ”

"Please also ask General Zhang to lead his troops to Yanmen as soon as possible to support."

"No, the last general will leave immediately."

After Zhang Yan left, Xu Guangqi repaired another book and ordered someone to send it to Zhang Zai's office in Youzhou, after all, it was impossible not to report such a big matter.

An hour later, Zhang Yan led 30,000 troops, set off from Jinyang, and headed for Yanmen.

As soon as Zhang Yan left, Jinyang fell into an eerie silence.

Wang fu.

The heads of the various families had already gathered here, Zhang Yan led the army to the battle, they received the news as soon as possible, and they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

According to the news of their arrival, at this moment, there should be less than 500 guards left in Zhang Zai's palace, and the rest are stationed in the military camp or city wall in the city, and if they want to come to the palace, it will take a quarter of an hour at the earliest.

With this quarter of an hour, it was enough for them to break through the palace, but they put two thousand house slaves in the city before and after, and secretly transported many weapons.

"Master Wang, let's do it."

They were already impatient, and when they heard Zhang Yan leaving, they shouted one by one that they wanted to send troops.

"Wait another hour, and after Zhang Yan walks away, act immediately."

Wang Yan glanced at the impatient crowd, said calmly, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

Soon, an hour passed, Wang Yan opened his eyes and said lightly: "Action." ”

All the heads of the families in the city immediately left the palace and returned to their families, and began to gather the domestic slaves to the predetermined location.

As soon as they made a move, they were noticed by the bad people in the city, and they immediately reported to Xu Guangqi, who was handling official business.

"What did you say?"

Looking at the spy in front of him, if it weren't for verifying his identity, Xu Guangqi really couldn't believe what came out of his mouth.

All the families in the city actually united, taking advantage of Zhang Zai's absence in the country, plus they transferred most of the soldiers and horses, the country was empty, and they rebelled.

Xu Guangqi wanted to ask them why they didn't notice it earlier, but now was not the time to ask, Xu Guangqi immediately recruited the guards at the gate and ordered them to ask for help at the city gates and the military camps in the city, after all, with the defense of the palace, it could not withstand the siege of thousands of people.

Zhang Zai's palace is just a temporary expansion of the general's mansion before, only a few feet higher than the mansion of ordinary people, a few circles larger, and there are only hundreds of people guarding it in normal times, and it is difficult to resist in the face of thousands of people from the family.

The situation is urgent, I am afraid that the army of the family is about to arrive in front of the mansion, Xu Guangqi also did not care about etiquette, and directly broke into the backyard of the palace and asked to see Cai Yan.

"What's the matter with Xu Sikong?" Cai Yan still knows Xu Guangqi, as a veteran of Zhang Zai's forces, Xu Guangqi is also a hard worker, and he has won Zhang Zai's trust, and now he is so out of shape, there must be something big happening.

"Princess Qiyu, the families in the city have united in rebellion, and I also ask the princess and others to take refuge temporarily." Xu Guangqi said concisely and quickly.

Cai Yanxiu frowned, after experiencing a short period of panic, she immediately calmed down, she believed that Xu Guangqi would not joke about this matter, and said to the maid beside her: "Xiaohe, your prince and the two ladies went to the secret room to take refuge temporarily. ”

Xu Guangqi listened to Cai Yan's arrangement, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, and asked, "The princess doesn't plan to hide?" ”

Cai Yan Fengyi was graceful, looked at Xu Guangqi and said lightly: "Anyone in the palace can hide, but the concubine is the princess, and the king is not there, so the concubine must come forward." ”

"The princess is virtuous." Xu Guangqi bowed to Cai Yan, and agreed with Cai Yan's approach, and couldn't help but praise in his heart that he deserved to be a famous family, and he generally understood advance and retreat.

"Xu Sikong has won the award, the king is not here, and the concubine should come forward in this matter." After that, he bowed slightly to Xu Guangqi and said, "Please wait for a while." ”

Xu Guangqi returned the salute and waited in place.

Not long after, Cai Yan came out of the house and came to Xu Guangqi with an extra item in his hand.

"Xu Sikong, this is the tiger talisman of the Great King's Praetorian Guard, so I will temporarily hand it over to you for safekeeping, and you will have full authority to handle the matter here."

"No!" Xu Guangqi said firmly.

"Let's go, the concubines want to see why they rebel." After speaking, Cai Yan walked directly to the outside of the house.

The silent slaughter fluttered in front of the palace, stimulating everyone's nerves, everyone here already knew that the enemy they were going to face next was several times that of them, but they did not have a trace of timidity, as the elite of the Praetorian Guard, they had enough confidence in themselves, even if the number of the other party was several times that of them, they did not pay attention to it.

Cai Yan and the army of the family arrived at the gate of the mansion almost at the same time, and as soon as the two sides met, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"I am the princess of Tang, as a Tang countryman, why did you rebel for no reason?" Cai Yan looked at the family military formation indifferently, and his voice did not contain a trace of anger.

"Zhang Zai has no way, wantonly exploiting the people, we are doing the right thing for heaven today!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yan stopped talking nonsense, directly pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed in the direction of the palace, and said, "Kill!" ”

Not only Cai Yan, but even Xu Guangqi was laughed angrily by Wang Yan's words reversed black and white.

Cai Yan glanced at Wang Yan, looked at his shameless appearance, shook his head, and then said to Xu Guangqi: "The rest will be handed over to Xu Sikong." And he retreated to the rear.

"Fight!"

At the same time, the general who was responsible for guarding the city gate also saw the soldiers sent by Xu Guangqi to ask for help, and when he heard of the rebellion of the family in the city, he immediately led his troops to suppress it.

Not only him, but the guards of the other three gates, as well as the generals stationed in the military camp in the city, also received the information, and sent troops to rush to the city to help.

But as soon as they walked less than 100 meters, they encountered the army of the family coming head-on, and the two sides did not have a word of nonsense, and directly drew their swords and faced each other, and the soldiers were short-handed.
