Henan Mansion, Jiangnan Army Tent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ji Yuan straightened his armor and sat upright in front of him, he tried his best to straighten his waist and act more confident, but a lot of sweat was oozing from his palms.

originally thought that he should be a general, leading his troops and horses to participate in the war, at most he was only the elite of the three guards under the command of the commander Wu Wangfu, but who knew that Ji Feng directly let him take command of the battle, Rao is Ji Yuan grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and his courage has already been exercised like fire and innocence, and he can't help but feel a little frightened at this moment.

There are also many generals in the army whose qualifications and abilities are not weaker than him, and Ji Feng chose him, and his purpose Ji Yuan is naturally very clear. These soldiers behind him are Jiangnan's family background, and his brother naturally will not rest assured that he will hand them over to others. This kind of trust moved Ji Yuan very much, so he dispelled the idea of refusing.

However, the risk is too great after all. With only 100,000 people and no natural dangers to defend, how can they resist an army of 500,000? Ji Yuan took a deep breath, looked around, and saw that all the generals in the tent were excited, and the appearance of being eager to fight made him smile bitterly in his heart.

Ji Yuan knew what they were thinking, and how big the risk was, how big the reward was. The brother's intention is very obvious, he wants to change the day and help his father-in-law ascend the throne as emperor. As the descendants of King Wu's lineage, this skill from the dragon is absolutely indispensable.

Ji Yuan is the righteous son of King Wu, with this relationship, coupled with his military exploits, although it is unlikely to be crowned king, but there is no problem with sealing the marquis, if this battle is fought beautifully, it is not impossible to even be a prince. High-ranking officials, beautiful wives and concubines, everything that men pursue is close at hand, giving Ji Yuan endless courage. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and said, "General Li." ”

"The last general!" In the tent, a man who was nearly forty years old and had a rough face with a bit of uprightness stood up with his fists in response.

"You are the deputy commander, and the whole army will be commanded by you for the time being."

"Huh? You're handsome... ”

"Since the dispatch of the army, Wu Xiuming has been triumphant all the way, and he has not tasted defeat, and the elite combat power of Hanzhong led by Sun Lin is not under us, but he has been defeated and retreated. If we follow the conventional method of warfare, it will be difficult for us to hold on for half a month. After several big victories, the morale of the Gyeonggi battalion is high, and the top priority is to dampen its spirit. I intend to take advantage of the fact that Wu Xiu Ming Fang is out of the Bishui Pass and has an unstable foothold, and personally leads the three guards and horses to assault, and once it succeeds, there is hope to hold on. ”

"Shuai, this move is too dangerous. Charge an army of 500,000 with a mere 30,000 men, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the enemy's line... ”

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." Ji Yuan made a final decision. "Everything will be done according to the method that has just been discussed!"

----------------------------

Outside the castle.

Nearly thirty square arrays waited, and the soldiers in front of them were all in pitch-black armor, like the envoys of the Nine Shadows, swept by the aura of violent death, and the black pressed one. The phalanx behind it showed a pale blue color, and although the aura of slaughter was weaker, the neatness of the formation and the sharpness of the armor were obviously an elite soldier.

The imperial city of the Great Zhou, the ancient capital of thousands of years, since the Xiongnu more than ten years ago, once again appeared a scene of soldiers approaching the city.

For the rebellion of the king of Pingshu, the perennial garrison of the capital of the Jingwei command envoy has been merged into the Jinggi camp to settle in Guanzhong, at this moment the sparse soldiers on the city tower are all from the Nine Cities Inspection Division, similar to the later generations of urban management, police auxiliary agencies, in the past responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, but at this time was caught up with the city. Those soldiers who usually deal with profiteers and ruffians saw the opponent in front of them, and their legs started to swing for a long time.

The leading general was a commander of the Forbidden Army, named Levi. People say that a soldier will be a bear, and those adults in the court hope to rely on his seat, try to delay each other, and create time for the garrison of the palace. Can it be delayed? Looking at the enemy troops outside the city, and then looking at the subordinates beside him who hated to faint to death, Levi sighed helplessly, today I am afraid that I will be loyal to the country.

The people in the city had already heard the news that the enemy was coming, and the capital was afraid that it would be difficult to defend, and they were all like frightened birds, and the gate was closed and they were locked in their homes, as if only the thin wooden door could bring them a sense of security. The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to have become an empty city overnight, dead and quiet.

Inside the palace, the situation is completely different from the outside, everywhere is a chaotic appearance, the Praetorian Guard, the Royal Forest Army and other palace all the combat forces are assembled, rushing to the palace gates to guard, the house is transported back and forth, it seems to be in order, but all these soldiers can not drive away much fear for the palace maid and eunuch, everywhere there are people fleeing like headless flies. The rules of the palace have long been ignored, and they are panicked, screaming, and constantly transmitting the panicked atmosphere to the people around them.

When the national disaster came, the husband was responsible, and the civil officials in the court were not idle, leaving aside the emperor and going to various places to command and understand the situation.

Ji Qiyun sat in the imperial study in a daze, staring blankly at the stairs outside the gate, his heart was weak and complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It's so fast! Everything was so fast that he was caught off guard. The Tianjin Wei was unsuspected, bombarded by artillery several times, and fell in the blink of an eye. The enemy from the sea resolutely abandoned the ship, did not make any stops, and rushed to Beijing on horseback and artillery. When the news of the fall of Tianjin Wei reached the palace, before the imperial court could discuss countermeasures, only half a day later, the vanguard of the other party was already approaching the city.

At this moment, the battle is imminent, but Ji Qiyun still can't figure out why! Yi Wang Lu Xun! Why the opposite? This cold knife was pulled too hard, and it was directly inserted into Da Zhou's heart. In confusion, Ji Qiyun was stunned to find that there was a delicate figure standing in front of the door, and he looked up and saw that it was Xiang Rong.

A bitter smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and Ji Qiyun said softly: "Why are you here?" ”

Xiang Rong's face was gentle, and she slowly walked into the imperial study, her posture was full of grace, she walked to Ji Qiyun's side, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, why are you sitting here alone." ”

"King Yi... It's the other way around. ”

"The concubine already knows." Xiang Rong looked at Ji Feng with a smile. "Your Majesty hasn't made up your mind yet?"

When Ji Qiyun heard this, his body shook, he had already thought of what Xiang Rong was going to say, but he still instinctively asked, "What... What determination. ”

Sighing, Xiang Rong looked at the somewhat indecisive man in front of him, and said helplessly: "The palace is heavily guarded, and there are 30,000 elites stationed there, so it won't be a problem to hold out for a few days." Your Majesty, give an order, send the border army to King Qin. ”

"Rong'er, you know, I can't do this." Ji Qiyun stroked his forehead painfully, shook his head and said: "There was news before, the Mobei Xiongnu are continuously gathering a large army, and it seems that they are going to take action. If the border army is transferred, once the Xiongnu go south, the consequences will be unimaginable, how will I face the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future? ”

"But right now..."

Gently grabbing Xiang Rong's little hand, Ji Qiyun didn't know whether he was comforting her or himself, he smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, Wu Xiuming will definitely be able to come back in time, he will definitely be able to." ”

----------------------

Outside the city.

Lu Xun sat on horseback, beside him was Mo Yan, who was speechless but uncontrollable with excitement. He really didn't expect that the eldest lady would dare to use troops against Da Zhou, and the scene of the soldiers coming to the city in front of him made him feel a little hot, and he felt that his life was worth it! This is the Imperial City of the Great Zhou, how many people can do such a feat?

It's just that he is excited, he is still puzzled in his heart, he glanced at Lu Xun carefully, Mo Yan couldn't help asking: "Miss, the student is puzzled, we... Why should you be someone else's pawn and fight the world for others? If you take down the capital of the Great Zhou... Why not? ”

"Take a long-term view, Yizhou relies on a lot of Dazhou, if there is more from the dragon, the future benefits will naturally be endless. As for what you're thinking, it's not like I haven't thought about it, but ... Pay for one's whistle! The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for thousands of years, the national strength is strong, and the people are attached. Only the Mobei Xiongnu can pose a threat to it, so the defense focus is on the north, and the coastal combat power is only to deal with the Japanese on weekdays, and we wait for a surprise attack, which is caught off guard, which does not mean that our army can run rampant in the surrounding area. Lu Xun smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "What kind of good man and woman are you when I am my husband?" If there is a chance to win Da Zhou in one fell swoop, how can he be polite? It's just that the number of Great Zhou Qi is not exhausted, coupled with the fetters of family affection, makes him retreat to the second. He often said that suffering losses is a blessing, and it doesn't hurt to be a pawn once. ”

Mo Yan suddenly frowned and said: "It's a good thing that my uncle is affectionate, but as the saying goes, the emperor's family has no family affection. He also said, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Although our army entered the imperial city and achieved this immortal feat, it was inevitable that the new emperor would be jealous. I am afraid that in the end, there will be a situation where people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts. ”

Lu Xun smiled, she looked at Mo Yan with a funny face, and said, "What Mr. said is good, but these are the things... The husband has also been prepared, the Imperial City of the Great Zhou can give in, but he will not let the lifeblood of the Great Zhou. It is true that he values family affection, but he will not resist without adding an axe. If he is willing to suffer, he will not be called Jiang Yun! ”

Her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she gently raised her right arm and said, "It's almost time, herald, attack the city!" ”

The horn was blowing, the war drums were beating, the army of 100,000 rushed to the city wall, the rear was covered by the divine arm bow, and the army in front carried the ladder to climb quickly. The temple guards were like tigers coming out of the gate, jumping onto the city in three steps and two steps, easily cutting down the city guards beside them, and more and more Yizhou soldiers climbed up. This is not a level of battle at all, it is like a massacre, and in the blink of an eye, it will attack the city and go straight to the imperial city.

Lu Xun brought a lot of artillery, but after thinking about it again, he still didn't use it. After all, this is the Great Zhou Jingshi, if it is destroyed in a war, it will be a pity after all. In the face of the fierce resistance of the imperial city, she immediately ordered the use of tear gas, and countless bottles and cans made the powerful temple guards throw their brains into the palace walls. For a while, violent coughing and wailing came one after another. No matter how brave the soldier is, he can't resist this chemical attack, and one level after another, he snatches it into his hand at an incredible speed.

The battle reports in front of them were all passed into the imperial study, and Xiang Rong, who had just asserted that he could hold on for a few days, couldn't help but lose his face when he saw this. Fast! It's so fast! How so? The Imperial Palace, which was so heavily defended, was about to fall in just half a day? She glanced at Ji Qiyun worriedly, and saw that his eyes were blank, and she was stunned for a long time... After that, he gradually laughed, and the laughter gradually turned louder, and finally evolved into loud laughter.

Your Majesty, is this crazy? The little eunuch beside him was in a state of confusion at this time, and he also knew that the palace would not be able to hold on for long, and it was better to save his life in the chaos, so he quietly glanced at Ji Qiyun, moved his steps slightly, and slipped out unconsciously.

"Your Majesty..."

The laughter stopped abruptly, Ji Qiyun's two lines of tears slowly fell, and she looked at Xiang Rong. "Rong'er, is there a way?"

Xiang Rong shook her head silently.

"I think so." Ji Qiyun hissed: "Providence, everything is providence." ”

"It's not providential." Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice came from his ears, and Ji Qiyun was stunned to look at the corner on the left side of the imperial study, and two figures had appeared at some point.

"Jiang Yun? It's you! Ji Qiyun got up suddenly, glared at Jiang Yun, and was about to ask, but when he saw the person beside him, he was stunned again. King... Princess? ”

Wang Li leaned over, took a step forward and said, "Old slave... Meet Your Majesty. ”

"You ... How did it end up here? Ji Qiyun was completely stunned.

"There is a secret passage outside the imperial study that leads directly to the outside of the city." Wang Li said gloomily: "When the emperor was still the crown prince, he had been secretly digging in the suburbs, and it was not until he ascended the throne that the connection with the palace was opened. ”

"The Emperor... Grandpa Huang? Why should he ... ”

"The world only knows that when the emperor ascended the throne, he killed a few of his own brothers under the pretext of mourning." Wang Li shook his head and said: "Including the queen also thinks so, but only the old slave knows that those princes did not die, but let His Majesty secretly send them out through the secret passage, and they were expelled from the Great Zhou, settled down in the Western Regions, and saved their lives." Those who knew this secret passage, except for those princes and old slaves, the rest of the people had been secretly disposed of by the emperor. ”

“。。。”

Seeing that Ji Qiyun was stunned on the spot again, Wang Li carefully took out a bright yellow dossier from his arms, slowly opened it and said, "Your Majesty, take the order!" ”

Your Majesty receives the decree... There were some ridiculous words, but Ji Qiyun couldn't laugh at all, he hurriedly straightened the dragon robe on his body, knelt down on his knees, and buckled his head heavily. "Grandson takes the order."

Wang Li took a deep breath, and the previous decline was swept away, as if he had become the great eunuch again, and he slowly said: "Qiyun, how I hope you can obey my secret edict, but unfortunately, you still let me down after all." But speaking of which, this was also expected by me. You have a wide temperament on the outside and jealous on the inside, you are scheming and indecisive, which is really a taboo for the emperor. If Zhou Ang does not die, it will be a scourge that will shake your throne. According to your imperial grandmother's wishes, I can leave you the throne in front of me, but I can't continue to support you in this world after death. I don't know who will oppose you, or Mingxuan, or Mingcheng, but none of this matters anymore. I have secretly ordered Wang Li and Jiang Yun to save your life at the last moment, you don't need to doubt it, just follow their arrangement. Huangtu hegemony, after all, Nanke is a dream, without this constraint, it is not a good thing for you. Promise the imperial grandfather to live well. ”

"Grandpa Huang... Ji Qiyun lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, and suddenly howled and cried, unable to restrain his grief.

Jiang Yun watched quietly from the side, and sighed in his heart. The old emperor was indeed an eloquent emperor, he saw too thoroughly and looked too far. When Wang Li found Jiang Yun, when he finished reading the secret edict, Jiang Yun was already shocked into a cold sweat. Ji Chong knew about his relationship with Lu Xun early on, and concluded that he would do his best to protect Ji Qiyun according to his own wishes.

Yes, he had no choice. People will change, Jiang Yun is not sure that after Ji Feng ascends the throne in the future, he will become a character similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, he has too many fetters and cares too many people, and it is impossible to pin his safety on the charity of others. Ji Qiyun, the current emperor, is Ji Feng's biggest lifeblood. With a bank in one hand and Ji Qiyun in the other, he can help Ji Feng ascend to the throne, and he can pull him down again at any time.

Strictly speaking, this is not a calculation, but just a precaution for one's own safety.

What's more, according to what the prince said, Ji Chong had prepared 200,000 elite soldiers early in the morning and secretly stationed near the Beijing Division, where Jiang Yun did not know, but the old emperor's meaning was very clear, if Jiang Yun let Ji Qiyun's life or death go, the army would immediately open King Qin. If Ji Qiyun is successfully rescued, and the new emperor is a member of the royal family, the 200,000 troops will be disbanded on the spot on the day the new emperor ascends the throne and return to the lives of the people.

The old emperor's scheming and control over his courtiers were enough to make Jiang Yun dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi. God knows how many backhands this old guy has secretly prepared, he has been dead for so long, and he can still cause chaos to people, this ability is not convincing.

Wang Li handed the file to Ji Qiyun, then returned to the wall, took out a dragon robe from a box, and changed it for himself.

Ji Qiyun was stunned. "Princess, you...

Wang Li straightened the dragon crown and smiled. "The old slave received the great favor of the emperor, and it is time to repay it. Your Majesty, you can go with Lord Jiang, he will arrange your future life, old slave... I want to go with the emperor, and continue to serve his old man on it. ”

Jiang Yun sighed. "But the queen's share is not prepared... Go back and think slowly. Your Majesty, let's go. ”

The Yizhou army finally broke through the last checkpoint among the nine gates, and at the same time, the fire in the imperial study was flourishing, and a red light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the red glow in the sky.
