The cold wind howled, and the remnant sun was like blood.

After two days of fierce battles, the imperial city of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was already full of corpses and rivers of blood, but the two sides of the war still did not relax at all, but became even more crazy. The majestic imperial city is now mottled by the traces of war erosion, faintly revealing sadness and gloom, and no longer endowed with the majestic luxury of the past.

Yu Wenkang stood on a temporary high platform with his sword in hand, his back was as straight as a pine and cypress, but his face was full of dark clouds at this time, staring at the imperial city in front of him with a layer of blood, and his chapped lips were tightly pursed.

It's been two days, and I originally thought that I could smash Huanglong in one go and drive the so-called prince out of power, but I didn't want Yuwen Xiaobo, Yuwen Shenju, and Wei Chiyun to be so difficult, and only 30,000 people blocked the attack of his 100,000 army. According to the time, the princes should have received the message from the imperial capital, reinforcements are already on the way, and reinforcements will arrive at sunset tomorrow at the latest.

"Pass the order, step up the siege, and you must break through the city before midnight tonight!" Yu Wenkang raised Tian's cold lips, spewed white gas in his mouth, and said solemnly.

The harsh winter season is not suitable for war, but in the eyes of the superiors, only victory and vital interests come first, and the lives and sufferings of ordinary soldiers will not be considered by them.

Like Yu Wenkang, Yu Wenliang, the prince of Qiguo, was also in a very heavy state of mind at this time. The Inner Imperial City has been delayed, and the pressure in his heart has become more and more intense. Although the outer city of Chang'an had fallen into his hands, he became more and more uneasy in his heart.

It is true that Yuwen Yong is a generation of Ming Jun, but there are many people in the Yuwen clan who disobey him. You must know that if it weren't for Yuwen Hu killing the emperors in front of him, how could Yuwen Yong inherit the unification, in the eyes of others, he was just lucky.

In this era of chaos for too long, impetuousness and turmoil, careerists abound, and "princes and generals, rather have a kind" has been vividly interpreted. His younger brother Yuwenzhi dared to rebel when Yuwenyong was alive, not to mention that now that Yuwenyong has died of illness, how can the cow ghost and snake god not take the opportunity to move?

"Yu Wenkang, what are you doing, can't you take a single imperial city?" The irritability in his heart made Yu Wenliang complain about Yu Wenkang. Although the Inner Imperial City is tall, it is only a small city, and there is a lack of troops, in Yu Wenliang's opinion, how can it take so much time to break the city with a single onslaught.

"Could it be that Yu Wenkang has other plans and wants to monopolize ......" Yu Wenliang hurriedly shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his heart, now that the two are allies, if they can't trust each other, how can they win.

"Guogong, look, it looks like someone is coming!" Just when Yu Wenliang's thoughts were in turmoil, a member of the general beside him suddenly exclaimed.

Yu Wenliang raised his hand suddenly, looked in the direction pointed by the general, and suddenly there was a dusty flight in the distance, and there was a faint rumbling of footsteps in the wind. Yu Wenliang suddenly changed color, his heart sank, and he shouted: "The whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

With his order, the rebels at the head of the city immediately went into action, the archers opened their bows and arrows, the catapults creaked, and the solemn and solemn aura made everyone's breath become heavy.

……

"Cheer up, speed up!" Yu Wensheng took the lead, staring at the magnificent Chang'an City under the sunset, like a giant beast, although he was dusty and tired, his eyes were still very bright.

After Dingyang withdrew to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wensheng discussed with Yang Jian, fearing that the news of Yu Wenyong's death would cause turmoil, so he only replenished 20,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 50,000 people, all the way to the west, galloping non-stop.

However, even so, Yuwenkang and Yuwenliang still rebelled with cavalry, but fortunately, the imperial city has not been lost, and the crown prince Yuwen has not fallen into the hands of thieves yet, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"General Yuwen" At this moment, a horse suddenly caught up from behind, and Yuwensheng looked back and saw that it was Yang Jian. He had already suffered a lot of injuries, and he had been sleeping in the open for several days, day and night, and his face was very pale at this time, and his expression was a little aggrieved, but his face was still calm.

Yang Jian's martial arts and strategies are extraordinary, and he risked his life to savior several times, because Yu Wensheng admired him a lot, and discussed with him more along the way. Seeing Yang Jian calling at this time, Yu Wensheng couldn't help but stop, and said with some concern: "Yang Guogong, you have injuries on your body, and you can't see the wind!" ”

"When the national disaster is at the head, why worry about a small injury?" Yang Jian shook his head, then looked at Chang'an City from a distance and said: "General Yuwen, we have come from afar, all the way fast, the soldiers are already exhausted, if it is a strong attack, I am afraid there is not much chance of victory!" ”

Yu Wensheng frowned and said: "What Guogong said is reasonable, but the imperial city is in danger, and I don't know how long it can last, we can reduce their pressure by arriving a moment early!" ”

"What General Yuwen said is true." Yang Jian nodded and said: "I think we have to plan seriously about this matter, to contain the rebels in the city as much as possible, it is best to enter the city, and cooperate with the prince to break the enemy and win!" ”

Looking at Yang Jian's determined eyes, Yu Wensheng raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Will the plan be released?" ”

……

"Whoever comes, report your name!" When Yang Jian and the others came to Chang'an City, Yu Wenliang held the arrow stack in his hand, looked at the 50,000 army condescendingly, and shouted in a deep voice.

"It turned out to be the Duke of Qi Guo, Yang Jian is polite!" Yang Jian came out of the crowd with a warm smile on his face, not the slightest murderous aura, but very respectful.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although Yu Wenliang was very wary of Yang Jian, his serious face still eased a little, and he returned the salute slightly: "It turned out to be Sui Guogong, disrespectful, disrespectful." I don't know why Yang Guogong came here in a hurry, if this father can help, you might as well say it! ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Lord Guogong, Yang really needs your help when he comes here this time!" ”

"Oh?" Yu Wenliang raised his eyebrows, and he was even more vigilant in his heart, but he said without revealing anything on his face: "Yang Guogong, please speak." ”

Yang Jian's face was solemn, and he looked at Yu Wenliang with burning eyes and said: "Lord Guogong, Yang is coming from Dingyang, one escorts the emperor's body back to the capital, and the other escorts the emperor's edict. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenliang straightened up, staring at Yang Jian with burning eyes, only to hear Yang Jian continue: "The prince was framed by the villain, and he collaborated with Yu Yixing to assassinate the emperor, and even committed a heinous crime, which is really heartbreaking. Qi Guogong is well aware of the righteousness, and holding high the sword soldier 'Qing Jun's side, punishing the traitor' is exactly what the emperor wants, and Yang is not willing to do his best. ”

"Now in the Great Zhou, Ji Wang Yuwenkang is the most respected, the emperor should be in the future, and the edict should be read by him." As he spoke, Yang Jian took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, covered with dragon patterns, which was the holy decree.

Looking at the bright yellow holy decree, Yu Wenliang's eyes suddenly became hot, and even his breathing became slightly short. Judging from Yang Jian's words, Yuwen Yong is obviously not very satisfied with the actions of the crown prince Yuwen, if it is clear that a new army will be established in the edict, Yuwen Liang and Yu Wenkang's actions will be a righteous act that follows the sky, not a rebellion.

Yang Jian could see the change in Yuwenliang's expression, and he said sincerely: "Lord Guogong, please open the city gate and welcome the emperor's body into the city!" ”

Yuwen Liang woke up, frowned a few times, and said with some hesitation: "Yang Guogong, it is not in accordance with the rules for the foreign army to enter the city, and the city is too small, I am afraid that it will not change!" ”

Yang Jian sneered in his heart, Yu Wenliang didn't trust him, he didn't know, but he had a look of agreement on his face, nodded and said: "What the Duke said is reasonable, but if I don't respectfully send the emperor's body into the city, wouldn't it be a great crime." Without waiting for Yu Wenliang to speak, Yang Jian said again: "If this is not the case, Yang will lead a thousand guards to escort the emperor's body into the city, and the others will be stationed outside the city, but the prince still needs to allocate some supplies." ”

"Okay, just according to what Yang Guogong said." Seeing that Yang Jian was so sincere, Yuwen Liang also let go of the worries in his heart a lot, so he waved his hand and said, "Come on, open the city gate and send the emperor into the city." ”

Yang Jian thanked him, ordered a thousand soldiers at will, and escorted the frame where Yu Wenyong's body was placed and slowly walked towards the city, everyone looked sad and tired, the formation was loose, and they didn't seem to have the slightest sense of vigilance.

Seeing Yang Jian walking into the city without any movement, Yu Wenliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, his elbow and armpit changed, and Yang Jian, who saw a smile on his face, suddenly shouted: "Yu Wenliang committed rebellion, the crime is extremely evil, everyone will be punished, brothers, kill me!" With that, Yang Jian pulled out his sword and rushed towards the city like a mad tiger.

"Kill the traitors, kill!" Outside the city, Yu Wensheng had been concentrating and preparing, and when he heard Yang Jian's shouting, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, and rode his horse straight towards the city gate that had not yet been closed.

"Kill !!"

The 50,000 Zhou troops suddenly broke out with earth-shattering shouts of killing, rushing towards the city like wolves.

"Close the gates, release the arrows, release the arrows!" Yu Wenliang's mournful shouts sounded in the city, with a look of anger, "Yang Jian, I'm going to kill you!" ”

Although the arrows at the head of the city were like locusts, under the leadership of Yu Wensheng, the 50,000 Zhou army was not afraid of death, and rushed towards the city in the dense rain of arrows. It was only a quarter of an hour, and when the city gate was about to close, Yu Wensheng finally led the crowd to arrive and entered the city with a thunderous force.

"Don't worry, the prince has arrived, the reinforcements have arrived, and the traitor will be killed and killed!" As soon as he entered the city, Yu Wensheng raised his voice and roared, and the sound was rolling and spreading far away.

"Hahahaha! Reinforcements have arrived, and it is at this time that the defeat will turn into victory. When Yuwen Shenju heard the shouts of killing in the outer city, his solemn expression suddenly became happy, and he shouted: "Yuwenkang, today is your death!" Get out of town and kill the enemy! ”

"Yuwen Liang is a good thing for me, a good thing for me!" Yu Wenkang's face was extremely ugly, he sighed suddenly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he said hatefully: "Withdraw the army, break through!" With that, Yu Wenkang turned over and got on his horse, and walked towards the east gate of Chang'an City without the slightest delay.

When Yu Wensheng led the army into the city, the outcome was decided, even if Yu Wenkang resisted again, it would be in vain, it was better to break through here, and maybe he could get away with his life.
