Jiangdu.

In a secret room, two dark shadows sat in the backlight, and the candle flame stretched the black shadows very long.

"What a waste, Li Yuan was defeated so miserably, he looked down on him before, and he was defeated by a fourteen-year-old little hairy child." An emaciated figure said disdainfully.

"The little prince of Daxing City is not simple! actually has the courage to fight in person, compared to Luoyang, the one is too far behind, Wang Shichong is also a waste of tens of thousands of horses, and he was defeated so miserably! A tall figure said in a flat tone.

During the conversation between the two, they actually told the situation in Daxingcheng and Luoyang word for word, obviously getting very accurate information

"Wang Shichong is just a vulgar Hu man, relying on giving Yang Guang beautiful women and treasures to be promoted to become rich, what kind of talent is there to command the army." The emaciated figure said disdainfully.

"What is Yang Guang's change now, do you have the heart to turn?" The tall figure asked.

"Of course, indulge in the gentle countryside of beautiful women, drunk and dreaming of death, where is there any desire to turn around?" The emaciated figure said disdainfully.

"How is the situation of Xiaoguo in Guanzhong?"

"Now that Wang Shichong has been defeated, Wagang has won a big victory, and he is marching into Luoyang, Guanzhong Xiaoguo is panicking." The emaciated figure replied.

The tall figure shook his head and said: "Most of the soldiers in Jiangdu are from Guanzhong, and now that the little prince of Daxing City has defeated Li Yuan, Guanzhong is stable, and it will be difficult for me to implement the big plan." ”

"Now that the news of Li Yuan's defeat has not spread, it is better for us to release the rumor that Li Yuan has broken Daxing City, if the soldiers hear that Daxing City has been broken. I will definitely be dissatisfied in my heart, and when the time comes, ......" The emaciated figure said with a smile.

"Then our plan will be launched in advance." The tall figure hesitated.

"If the news of Li Yuan's defeat comes, I'm afraid we won't have a chance again." The emaciated figure said ruthlessly.

"Okay, that's it!" The tall figure said resolutely.

The two of them got up, and the shadow of time covered the room.

…………

Soon, a rumor spread quietly in the barracks.

"What, Li Yuan has broken through Daxing City." The soldiers were shocked.

Most of them are Guanzhong people, and now it is rumored that Li Yuan has broken through Daxing City, so isn't it that their hometown has fallen.

"How could it be. Daxing City is strong and strong. How could Li Yuan's traitors break through Daxing City so quickly. "There are soldiers who do not believe.

"Li Yuan is in collusion with the Turks, and I heard that Li Yuan promised that as long as the Turks help Li Yuan break through Daxing City, the money and property of Daxing City will be taken by the Turks." Some soldiers added fuel and vinegar.

Slowly, the rumors spread more and more outrageous. It was even rumored that Turkic soldiers burned, killed and looted in Guanzhong. Do no evil. The people of Guanzhong fell into the water and fire.

Countless Guanzhong effects were excited, clamoring for a series of noises, and openly plotting to escape back to their hometowns.

"I'll go straight west. Nanyang County has not yet been lost, and if you reach Shangluo from Nanyang County, you can enter Guanzhong. ”

"But that has to go through Zhu Can's territory?"

"Zhu Can is just a group of bandits, as long as we have five hundred people, it will be enough to break through."

…………

Sima Deji listened to the soldiers openly discussing how to escape back, and couldn't help but have a gloomy face, so he called the Tiger Benlang General Yuanli and the general doctor Pei Qiantong to discuss.

"Now everyone in Guanzhong Xiaoguo wants to escape, and he wants to persuade the emperor, but he is afraid that he will be killed early; If I don't report it, if the real soldiers all escape, I won't be able to escape the fate of raiding my family and exterminating my family. Sima Deji frowned.

It's not once or twice that the soldiers have escaped in tandem, and the reason why Sima Deji was able to command Guanzhong Xiaoguo was because the previous commander Hu Benlang led Dou Xian to escape and was chased and killed by Yang Guang, so it was his turn.

"Now that Guanzhong has fallen, the soldiers are eager to return home, I'm afraid that the riot is not far away, and I'm afraid you and I will inevitably die when the time comes." Yuan Li was also shocked.

"If Xiaoguo wants to flee, we might as well run with them." Pei Qiantong said.

The hearts of the three of them moved, maybe it was really a good idea to escape, there were soldiers in hand, and where was also a grass king.

Sima Deji moved: "We can't rely on us alone, it's better to unite some more people and escape together." ”

The two nodded.

So the three of them began to contact each other, and Yuan Min, the inner historian, Zhao Xingshu, the general of Huyalang, Meng Bing, the general of Yingyanglang, Niu Fangyu, Fu Xilang, Niu Fangyu, Xu Hongren, Xue Shiliang, Tang Fengyi, Chengmen Lang, Zhang Kai, Yizheng, Yang Shilan, and others all participated, and it was almost semi-public for everyone to discuss and escape.

…………

"Mother, mother!" A palace maid threw herself at the feet of Empress Xiao in a panic.

"What's the matter, how panic!" Empress Xiao said majestically.

She has been a queen for life, her demeanor is elegant, and her speech is unconsciously majestic.

"Slaves and maids eavesdropping, and many people outside are plotting to rebel." The palace maid panicked.

Empress Xiao was silent for a long time and said: "Then you go and think about the emperor's report, this palace just boiled a bowl of porridge for His Majesty, you go and send it over!" ”

The palace maid took the warm porridge in a daze, and looked at Queen Xiao in surprise, not understanding why Queen Xiao didn't report it, but let her, a worthless little palace maid, go.

However, the palace maid thought of exposing the credit for the plot of rebellion, and couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, if she made this great achievement, the emperor would definitely reward her, maybe she would be made a concubine, and in the future, Empress Xiao would be old and yellow, and it was not impossible for her to ascend to the position of queen.

The palace maid left with illusions, and Empress Xiao sat there silent for a long time.

After a while.

One of Empress Xiao's cronies came in quietly and stood quietly behind Empress Xiao.

"How's it going?" Empress Xiao asked. 、

"She's dead, the emperor thinks it's not a matter for the palace maid to ask, kill her!" The maid said with a pale face.

Empress Xiao sighed: "The situation in the world has reached this point, there is no way to save it, needless to say, so as not to worry the emperor in vain!" ‘

"Yes!" Empress Xiao's cronies and maidservants felt a pang in their hearts, and they answered.

In the palace, the smell of blood has not yet dissipated.

Yang Guang sat in front of the desk and looked at the gray hair in the bronze mirror. Stunned, the palace maid on the side trembled and combed Yang Guang's hair again, the tragic death of the palace maid just now made her still frightened.

A gust of fragrant wind blew in, and Empress Xiao appeared behind Yang Guang and took the palace maid's comb.

"It's still the queen's dexterity." Yang Guang opened his eyes and looked at Empress Xiao, who was still beautiful in the mirror.

"Being able to comb the emperor's hair is a blessing for the concubine." Empress Xiao complimented.

Yang Guang looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said with emotion: "The head of the great man, I don't know who can cut it off!" ”

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal: "The emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he can really make such a joke with his concubines." You're going to die. How can you let your concubines live alone? ”

Yang Guang said indifferently: "The cycle of noble and lowly bitterness is already changing, you and I have the day of death, what is there to be sad about?" ”

………………

At this moment, there are more generals in tandem, and they often meet secretly at Sima De's Halberd Mansion. And Sima Deji's mansion ushered in an important person.

"Lord Yuwen!" Sima Deji said in surprise.

"General Sima!" Yu Wenzhi and arch hands. "Wisdom and uninvited. I also hope that Lord Sima Haihan. ”

"Where, where. Lord Yuwen can come to the last general's mansion, it is really brilliant! "Sima De's halberd hit Ha Luha. At the same time, he set his eyes on Yu Wenzhi and Zhao Xingshu and Yang Shilan behind him.

"Lord Yuwen is bent on returning to the west, and we will invite Lord Yuwen to act together." Yang Shilan said.

Sima Deji was secretly angry in his heart, he was the leader of this operation, and Yang Shilan actually attracted Yuwen Zhiji without his permission.

However, Yu Wenzhi was in a high position, and Sima Deji was not easy to offend, so he had to greet him with a smile.

"Lord Yuwen, please!" Sima Deji invited Yu Wenzhi and into the house.

The other people in the room had already come, and when they saw Yu Wenzhi, they saluted one after another, with a respectful attitude.

The parties sat down, and everyone began to discuss the matter of fleeing west.

"In my opinion, I might as well wait to escape on the Lantern Festival, that is the emperor must be drunk like mud, it is a good time for us to get out." Sima Deji's eyes lit up.

"I think it can!" Zhang Kai said.

"This is indeed an opportunity!"

The others also nodded, only Yuwen Zhihe didn't say a word.

"I don't know what Yuwen-sama means." Sima Deji looked at Yuwen Zhiji and asked.

"The day of the Lantern Festival is indeed a good time to escape, and the moon and stars are scarce, which is conducive to hurrying." After Yuwen Zhihe finished speaking, he immediately changed his words: "But although the emperor has no way, but Hu Wei still has a large number of soldiers under his command, you can escape smoothly, and the most difficult thing is to look for death like Dou Xian." ”

Everyone couldn't help but panic, Dou Xian had already run two hundred miles away, or was he caught up by Yang Guang, how far could they run?

"Then as Lord Yuwen sees it, where is my way of life?" Yang Shilan asked cooperatively.

"If there is a big chaos today, the heroes rise together, Guanzhong has been invaded by Li Yuan, Luoyang is in danger, now God wants Sui to perish, now the heroes of Jiangdu are rising, and we have tens of thousands of people, if you take this opportunity to make a big event, the emperor's business is at your fingertips." Yu Wenzhi and excitedly said.

The crowd was shocked. They didn't expect that Yuwen Zhihe's advice turned out to be a rebellion!

"But this is a serious crime of the Nine Clans!" Doctor Zheng Zhang Kai trembled and said, he was originally a imperial doctor, he was timid and scared in his heart, and he thought of rebellion.

"Do you think your plans are hidden? Just yesterday, a palace maid secretly reported to the emperor about the rebellion. Although the emperor didn't want to startle the snake and kill the palace maid, it still spread to me to find out. "Yuwen Zhihe threw a bombshell.

"Ahh

Everyone was shocked, their hearts were terrified, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Yu Wenzhi said gloomily: "Maybe you think that there are many people, and the law does not blame the public, but in the next news, the emperor heard that Xiaoguo wanted to rebel, and secretly brewed a lot of poisonous wine, and was ready to use the Lantern Festival banquet to poison Xiaoguo in Guanzhong, and was ready to stay in Jiangdu with the southerners, and then he couldn't leave even if he wanted to!" ”

"Ahh Everyone felt cold in their hands and feet.

"If you don't fight hard, I'm afraid you won't have a chance again." Yuwen Zhiji said.

Everyone nodded with solemn faces.

"But we don't have a leader, it's not enough to get things done!" Yang Shilan said.

Sima Deji couldn't help but feel a mouthful of blood when he heard this, he had always been presiding over the series, and the secret meetings were all in his mansion, how could he not say that there was no leader.

"In terms of seniority, we don't pay attention to serving the public, that is, we barely succeed, and we will still be defeated in the end, this leader, we must choose a person who can serve the public." Huya Lang said Zhao Xingshu.

Everyone nodded, Yuwen Zhihe nodded, and even Sima Deji nodded helplessly, he was indeed not enough to convince the public.

"Why don't we elect Yu Wenhua and adults?" Xue Shiliang suddenly said in surprise.

"That's it! Yuwen Shu's protégé is all over the world, Yu Wenhua and the adult are the eldest sons of the Yuwen family, and now they have the advantage of General Zuo Tunwei, who is high and powerful, and will be able to serve the public. Zhao Xingshu said with surprise on his face.

Everyone has expressed their support for Yu Culture and.

"The specific work will be done by me, and I will definitely let the eldest brother accept this important task." Yu Wenzhi and promised.

Sima Deji watched all the weather vanes turn to Yu Wenhua, and even his friends Hu Benlang General Yuanli and Pei Qiantong agreed, if he didn't understand the cat, he would be a fool, everything he did before was to make a wedding dress for others.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and the arrow has to be sent on the string, Sima Deji nodded helplessly, and agreed to promote Yu Wenhua as the leader.

After the discussion, it was immediately agreed to act tonight.

Everyone frowned, feeling a little hasty, but this kind of thing has a lot of dreams at night, and it is indeed not wrong to act early.

On the same day, Sima Deji immediately summoned all the Xiaoguo military officials.

Sima Deji looked solemn, stared at all the Xiaoguo soldiers, and said: "I believe you have heard that the emperor Ji Luhua, who has defected, has already known that the emperor has brewed a lot of poisonous wine, and is ready to poison all the Xiaoguo in Guanzhong at the Lantern Festival dinner." ”

All the Xiaoguo couldn't help but be frightened, and some hot-tempered generals scolded.

"Dog Emperor, we have been fighting for the country all our lives, and you want to poison us."

"It's against him!"

…………

Sima Deji saw the angry Xiaoguo military officer and nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, as long as tonight is over, I can return to Guanzhong and go home!" Sima Deji said loudly.

"Obey the general's orders!" All the Xiaoguo soldiers were overjoyed, and the desire to go home made them fearless.

At night, at the time of the third watch.

In the east city, torches were lit one by one, and the entire east city was in flames, and the night sky was dyed red.

"General! All the soldiers are ready! Captain Ma Wenju said with a torch in his hand.

"Okay, let's go!" Sima Deji ordered.

In an instant, Xiaoguo held a torch in his hand and rushed towards the Jiangdu Palace.

in the Royal Palace.

Yuwen Zhihe gathered more than 1,000 people outside Miyagi, kidnapped Feng Pule, the waiting guard of the night guard, and deployed troops to guard the streets.

Tang Fengyi discussed with Pei Qiantong and others, and all the palace doors were not locked tonight.

"Boom!" The Xuanwu Gate was easily pushed open,

Sima Deji led an army of 30,000 people all the way unimpeded, entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and soon controlled the entire outer city of the palace. (To be continued......)
