Night fell quietly, and the Zhou army camp outside Chang'an City lit torches, like a fire dragon around the city, which was particularly spectacular. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Xian was named General Zuo Xiaowei after the palace coup, commanding 3,000 new troops, responsible for the defense of Mingdemen and Anhuamen, his original 1,000 subordinates were taken away by Li Yuanji and reorganized into Xuanwu Jingwei, except for dozens of personal soldiers, the others were newly recruited soldiers, Li Yuanji recruited at a high price, most of them were unemployed vagrants and ruffians near Chang'an.

This made Wang Xian really smile bitterly, Li Yuanji used a new army with no combat effectiveness to defend the city, but put the elite in the palace and the palace, what kind of strategy is this to defend the city?

However, Wang Xian had already solved the problem of manpower shortage, and just now, more than 100 members of the Chang'an Intelligence Agency joined his team, bringing his available subordinates to 150 people.

Although Wang Xian could open the door to welcome the Zhou army into the city at any time, considering that it would cause fierce street fighting, Zhang Xuan still felt that it was better to attack first.

In the night, under the Anhua Gate, dozens of large baskets were hung up by ropes at the head of the city, and the baskets were filled with 50,000 copies of the 'Letter to the Military and Civilians of Chang'an', which was written by Zhang Xuan himself, printed with engraving, which was prepared a few months ago and has only played a role today.

The task of distributing 100,000 copies overnight was very difficult, but the Chang'an Intelligence Agency had experience in distributing proverbs, and they could use the huge community of beggars and hungry people in the city to distribute together, and things would be much easier.

"The focus is on the Imperial City! At least 10,000 copies should be distributed."

Wang Xian admonished, and the soldiers nodded, carrying bamboo baskets and running quickly, and their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In addition to a part of the list arranged by Wang Xian to distribute, there are 50,000 copies of the list will be directly thrown into the city by the Zhou army's giant trebuchet, Chang'an in addition to the three city walls of the southern city, each stands three giant trebuchets, the soldiers are busy preparing, a large iron ball full of leaflets, the iron ball will bounce in the air against the wind, and the list will fly out.

On the one hand, the south wind is blowing tonight, and the projection effect will be better in the north, on the other hand, the Xuanwu Jingwei and Shence troops are mainly deployed in the northern palace and imperial city.

Xineiyuan deployed 50,000 Zhou troops, commanded by Xu Shiji, at this time, the general Zhao Liang asked Xu Shiji puzzled: "General, why would the saint say that it was Xuanwu Jingwei who surrendered first?" ”

Xu Shiji said with a smile: "It is clearly written in the holy letter to the army and the people that those who surrender voluntarily can protect their wealth and avoid their crimes; After the city is broken, they will take all their wealth and hold them accountable for their crimes, how many sins these Xuanwu Jingwei have created with Li Yuanji, how many ill-gotten gains have been robbed, what are they most afraid of, they are afraid of losing their money, so with this guarantee, Xuanwu Jingwei is still rushing to surrender? ”

"I see, but it's too cheap for them."

Xu Shiji smiled faintly, "Let them surrender first, and then say, the saint also said that those who commit the most heinous crimes will never be spared!" ”

At this time, a lieutenant rushed to report: "General Qiyu, the trebuchet is ready to be launched at any time!" ”

Xu Shiji looked up at the direction of the wind, then nodded and said, "Launch!" ”

"Launch!"

Under the command of the lieutenant, four giant trebuchets were launched at the same time, four large iron balls flew into the sky, and tens of thousands of Xuanwu Jingwei guarding the city exclaimed, only to see the big iron balls bounce in the air, and countless leaflets flew towards the palace like snowflakes, many fell on the city, and the soldiers scrambled for the list to find the literate soldiers to read to them.

Not only the northern city, but also the western and eastern cities also threw in countless leaflets, and there were hundreds of people who distributed leaflets in the city, except for the imperial city, they sent the leaflets to the various squares, and the entire Chang'an City was covered with leaflets one after another.

Chang'an City is staging a variety of reactions, the soldiers gathered together in twos and threes to whisper, many patrol soldiers and soldiers defending the imperial city directly took off their armor and fled back to their homes, in the Great Zhou Tianzi 'to the Chang'an military and civilian letters' under the inspiration, the deserters of the Chang'an City Gate began to appear in large numbers.

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Master and Apprentice Tie raised his exposed left arm with a blue face, and asked thousands of soldiers in a loud voice: "Those who are willing to surrender with me, leave their left arm!" ”

Thousands of soldiers unanimously stripped off their armor, exposed their left arms, and raised them high.

．．．．．．

In the attic, Pei Lin woke up from the quilt, reading the leaflet carefully under the light, his face was cloudy; Cui Wenxiang was also woken up by the night watchman, who took a slip that floated into the house and handed it to him......

Even Chen Shuda's house flew into a list, and some family members picked it up and ran to hand it over to the owner.........

The palace city of Taiji Palace is divided into four parts, the east palace in the east, the Yeting Palace in the west and the middle palace in the middle, and the military camp of Xuanwu Jingwei is located in the Yeting Palace.

Among them, the middle palace is divided into the front palace, the inner palace and the back palace, and the front palace is the seat of important power centers such as Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.

The inner palace is the court affairs area of the Son of Heaven, the main two halls, the Wude Hall and other important halls, the Son of Heaven's imperial study is located in the Wude Palace.

The harem is naturally the living area of the Son of Heaven and the concubines.

At present, 20,000 Xuanwu Jingwei are deployed in various districts except the harem.

The general Yu Shanqing led six thousand Jingwei to rest in the barracks, and he was not on duty tonight.

And Hou Mo Chen Qing led 7,000 troops to deploy in the front palace of the middle palace part, and the inner palace was guarded by guards.

There are two parts of the scope of Shang master and apprentice, one is the East Palace, 6,000 people are stationed in the East Palace, and the northernmost part of the East Palace is the Xuande Gate, which is parallel to the Xuanwu Gate.

There is a long and narrow road between the Xuande Gate and the Xuanwu Gate, so the Xuanwu Gate is also guarded by the master and apprentice.

The Xuanwu Gate is also the north gate of the harem, but the Xuanwu Gate is the urn city, and a thousand soldiers are stationed in the urn city, and they are not allowed to enter the inner gate, which is the harem.

The surrender of Master Shang and his apprentices is equivalent to the loss of the harem gate and the East Palace.

However, the Zhou army had already controlled the Xuanwu Gate and the Xuande Gate, but they were not in a hurry to enter the palace city, and at this time the news had come that Li Shenfu had undergone a palace change, and an internal strife was about to break out.

At the third watch, Li Yuanji was finally woken up by a eunuch, although 200,000 Zhou troops had arrived in the city, but Li Yuanji was not nervous and afraid, since Zhang Xuan did not kill Wang Shichong, he would definitely not kill himself in the end, and he could enjoy the glory and wealth as a waste king, if you want to be afraid, let Cui Wenxiang, Li Shenfu and others be afraid!

After a night of indulgence, Li Yuanji was really embarrassed, he yawned, and asked with great dissatisfaction: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Cui Xiangguo has an urgent matter to see."

"Let him come to me!" Since it was Cui Wenxiang who wanted to see him, he had to cheer up.

Not long after, Cui Wenxiang hurriedly walked into the dormitory, holding a 'flyer' in his hand, "Your Majesty, something is wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Yuanji still asked casually.

"Did Your Majesty see this?"

Cui Wenxiang handed the flyer to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji glanced at the title, his face immediately became gloomy, and he threw it aside viciously, "I don't want to look at this kind of thing." ”

"Your Majesty, now the city is full of this kind of list, which has caused serious consequences, and there is a phenomenon of soldiers fleeing."

Li Yuanji was stunned, and immediately asked, "Did Xuanwu Jingwei escape?" ”

Cui Wenxiang sighed secretly in his heart, this emperor has only been Xuanwu Jingwei in his heart, he shook his head, "Your Majesty, the most serious problem now is not the flight of soldiers, the humble post got the exact news, Li Shenfu is ready to lead the army out of the city to join Li Shentong." ”

Li Yuanji was suddenly furious, "I gave Concubine Yin to him, he is still not satisfied, and he wants to betray me, I have to kill him." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to get rid of Li Shenfu and seize his army."

"Tell me, what's the strategy?"

"Your Majesty can pretend to hand over the Xuanwu Jingwei to the unified command, in order to get military power, he will inevitably come to see Your Majesty, at that time, Your Majesty can directly kill him and send henchmen to take over the Shence Army."

Li Yuanji nodded, this method is good, no poison is not a husband, Li Shenfu dared to ask himself if he wanted Concubine Yin, he should have killed him a long time ago.

At this moment, a eunuch stumbled over and said in horror: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Master Shang opened the Xuanwu Gate and led the army to surrender to the Zhou army, and General Yu Shanqing also opened the back door of the Imperial Palace and led the army to surrender." ”

Lee Won-gil 'Ah! He stood up with a bang, and he was stunned by the news, but the disaster was not alone, and before he could ask how many people were left, another guard rushed to him, and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Li Shenfu launched a mutiny, and more than 10,000 troops surrounded Chengtianmen, let Your Majesty go to see him." ”

Cui Wenxiang's face turned pale, he should have thought that Li Shenfu's army couldn't rush out, so he could only arrest Li Yuanji and surrender.

Cui Wenxiang didn't say a word, pulled Li Yuanji and ran towards the Ganlu Gate, and their last reliance was Hou Mo Chen Qing who was stationed outside the Ganlu Gate.
