The army of about 40,000 people gathered at the foot of the royal city, lined up a neat formation, and when Ji Dan gave an order, they would attack like a hungry tiger.

There was no movement on the city walls, not only did they not fire the powerful stone throwers and bed crossbows, but they did not even shoot a bow and arrow, as if they had been frightened by the formation below. Ji Dan couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and looked up suspiciously, not knowing what tricks this young man was holding back, thinking of success or failure in this move, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, and the order to attack the city was not issued for a long time.

On the city wall, Lin Fang tied his hands behind his back, was brought to the Son of Heaven by two soldiers, and was pressed to kneel down again.

"Lin Fang?"

“......”

"Don't speak, it doesn't matter, anyway, this king has been famous for you for a long time, I heard that you have even defeated Ji Che, you are a fierce general! Are you interested in following this king? ”

“......”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. If you still have a little affection for Ji Dan, when he is beheaded later, you must remember to ask for mercy, maybe this king will save his life for your sake! ”

"Humph!" Lin Fang sneered, looked around, looked at the sparse soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, and secretly despised this young man, beheaded? Let's catch him first! Tens of thousands of troops are under the city, can you catch him?

Ji Yan ignored his cold snort, silently looked at the army under the city, and secretly thought that this Ji Dan was worthy of being an ambitious lord, and when he learned that the grain and grass were burned, not only did he not withdraw the army immediately, but he fought to the death, which is indeed the only way to survive in death, otherwise once he retreats, the city will chase and kill, and the road will ambush, which will make the tens of thousands of troops completely collapse. It seems that Wei Yan's ambush soldiers are afraid that they will not be useful.

Thinking of this, he called a scout, handed him a silk scroll, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly get out of the city and hand over this thing to General Wei Yan, he should be ambushed on the way back from Ji Dan's army at this time." ”

"No!" The scout hurried away, exited the city through the east gate, and turned in the direction of the fortnightly camp.

"Have the two Zhou Gong arrived?" Ji Yan turned his head and asked Ji Che.

"I've sent someone to ask for it, and it should be there soon."

"Good!" A cold light flashed in Ji Yan's eyes: As long as the two dukes suddenly appear on the city wall, see how you Ji Dan will toss?

Ji Gen and Ji Chao have been under house arrest, although they eat and live freely, but the news is closed, and they don't know that the armies of both of them have arrived under the walls of the royal city.

When the two of them were taken to the southern city wall and came to Ji Yan, Ji Gen felt shocked, is the Son of Heaven going to let us go or execute us?

Ji Chao didn't think about it so much, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, is this going to let us go back?" ”

"That's right, Uncle Wang, Lone just wants to let you go back."

"Really?" The two exclaimed in unison.

"Lone never lies, he will let you go. But-" Ji Yan turned his head to look out of the city: "It depends on whether you dare to go out of the city!" ”

The expression of surprise gradually condensed, and they all rushed to the battlements of the city wall, looking at the black and oppressive army under the city, and their faces changed in an instant: "This, this ......"

After a long while, Ji Chao whispered to Ji Gen, "Why does it look like it's our team?" ”

"The Son of Heaven is really calculating!" Himegen sighed. He had already understood that this was Ji Dan coming with an army to attack the royal city, and the so-called letting the two of them go back was just hoping to curb the siege momentum with the help of the identities of the two. Although they knew what the Son of Heaven thought, the two of them couldn't help but follow his train of thought, because now everyone was tied to a rope, if Ji Dan really broke through the royal city, others might still have a way to live, but the two old men of them were definitely the deadest.

At this time, Ji Dan shook his head fiercely, shook off the hesitation in his heart, and Jackie Chan became a fighter here, staring at him and about to order the siege of the city, when he found that the forward team suddenly had a commotion, which quickly spread to the team behind, and some people even dropped the weapons in their hands. What's the situation? Ji Dan forcibly suppressed the offensive order that came to his lips, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

The left and right sides looked at each other, and they didn't know why.

A fast horse rushed from the front of the procession and shouted from afar: "Report! When he came to the front, the herald on the horse turned over and dismounted, quickly bowed his hand, and shouted angrily: "Qi Yu Eastern Zhou Gong, they, they ......"

Ji Dan frowned, his eyes bursting with coldness.

"They're in, they're in, they're in ...... On the city walls! The herald saw that Ji Dan's expression was not good, and knew that this was the prelude to bad luck, and his heart was even more panicked, and his usually smooth mouth actually stammered.

Ji Dan's heart was suddenly shocked, and when he understood the meaning of the herald's words, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off his horse. However, after all, he is a determined careerist, and he quickly collected his mind and shouted: "At the moment of the war, disturb the hearts of our army and behead it!" ”

Behind him, one of his guards rode out and bypassed the herald, and with a flash of his sword, a human head rolled on the ground.

Ji Dan raised the bronze sword in his hand and shouted, "Siege!" ”

At this moment, the commotion of the troops in the front became more and more violent, and the ranks in the rear actually began to retreat, and soon turned around and ran. In Ji Dan's stunned, as the rear team dispersed, a neat square team appeared a hundred meters in front of him, led by a black horse spear, but it was Jiang Fan, the general who was in charge of filling the river before and now in charge of attacking the city.

Jiang Fan glared at Ji Dan angrily, and said loudly: "The two weeks are fine, why do you say that they were killed by the Son of Heaven?" ”

Thousands of sergeants behind Jiang Fan followed and shouted: "Why? ”

Except for a few cronies, the team behind Ji Dan didn't know what was going on, but they understood Jiang Fan's words, and they all looked at Ji Dan suspiciously.

Ji Dan suppressed the horror in his heart, and shouted inwardly: "Jiang Fan, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Jiang Fan sneered: "There are people who rebel, but this person is not me, but you." As he spoke, he swept around, and pointed his spear at Ji Dan: "Ji Dan, in order to ascend to the position of the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you took advantage of the fact that the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a guest of the Zhou royal family, and launched a mutiny without authorization and established yourself as the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. ”

He didn't wait for Ji Dan to speak, and then said: "After you established yourself as the Duke of Eastern Zhou, you were worried that the real Duke of Eastern Zhou would come back, so you didn't do anything, and simply raised troops to attack the royal city, what is it if you don't rebel?" ”

"In order to attack the royal city, you did not hesitate to make up the lie that the Duke of Zhou was killed by the Son of Heaven, deceived so many of our brothers, and even more harmed us and the Zhou family killed each other, and more than 10,000 people have been killed and injured in two days. It's terrible! Jiang Fan's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Everyone looked at Ji Dan, their eyes gradually turned cold, and even began to burst into flames.
