Chapter 259: Ancient Cinderella (17)
With Yuncheng as an example, Mo Yan's next offensive was much smoother.
The common people are unwilling to die in maintaining imperial power, especially Mo Yan's army does not disturb the people, as long as he obediently allows him to occupy and let him pass, the people can live a normal life.
Who becomes emperor does not make much difference to the people at the bottom.
Of course, before they enjoyed the benefits, it is estimated that they will be glad that Mo Yan has won the throne in the future.
Half a month later, Mo Yan led the army to the outskirts of the capital.
At this moment, the entire capital has closed the city gates, and martial law is imposed in the city, and ordinary people are not allowed to move around at will.
Basically, every family has enough food to eat for half a month, and then they wait and see.
The defenders of the capital were handed over to an old general who was over sixty years old to lead.
At least this general has been on the battlefield to kill the enemy at a young age, and the result of victory accounts for the majority, the only drawback is that he is too old, but it doesn't matter, he doesn't need to rush forward to fight, he just needs to sit in command of the battle.
Hengguo Gong is in charge of the supplies, but he fills up the warehouse at home, and if he saves a little, it is estimated that he can eat for two years.
Xia Yan felt funny, the whole capital was tense, and everyone had a nervous and worried look on their faces, and she was the only one who could enjoy life in a relaxed mood.
But this enjoyment will not last long, first of all, the vegetables will run out, there will be too few choices in terms of diet, and the meat will not last long in the cellar, just a few days, and only the main food and snacks will be left on the table.
Xia Yan held his chin, not understanding why Mo Yan would besiege but not attack, what the hell did he want?!
What the hell did Mo Yan do, and Gong Yizhen also wanted to know, he was about to go crazy in the palace.
On the day the capital was surrounded by a large army, Gong Yizhen was vigilant, waiting for good news or bad news that might come at any time.
But Mo Yan did not move, besieged but did not attack, it was like waiting for the other boot to land, nervous, tormented, but he couldn't wait.
Gong Yizhen also thought about it, just let Mo Yan come in, at least give him an ending, don't let his heart hang like this all the time, it's too torturous.
However, this kind of thought only pops up for a moment occasionally, Gong Yizhen deeply loves the emperor's throne, he is dead, and he will die on the dragon chair!
"Your Majesty, it's good to relax a little, it's good that you don't fight." Yunxiu stood behind Gong Yizhen, gently kneading the acupuncture points on his head with both hands, this was something she learned after entering the palace, she was not professional, she could only show her mind.
"It's a good thing." Gong Yizhen sighed, "But who knows what his idea is, he is not stupid." ”
Can you still wait for the rescue force he summoned to encircle? I know it's impossible with my knees.
"No matter what his idea is, as long as he can't get into the capital, it's fine." Yunxiu didn't worry about this, she blindly believed in Gong Yizhen, thinking that he could solve all problems.
After all, it was Gong Yizhen who rescued her from the hell of 'deep water' and gave her a happy life, and he was a god-like existence to Yunxiu.
Is there anything else the gods can't do?! Inexistent!
"Can't get into the capital?" Gong Yizhen muttered, he suddenly had an idea, did Mo Yan want to take the capital without casualties, so he besieged it but did not attack?
Is he contacting the people in the capital now, preparing to let them open the gate and let his army in?!
Thinking of this, Gong Yizhen couldn't sit still, he got up and strode out.
Yun Xiu withdrew his hand and didn't speak, just stared at Gong Yizhen's back with a calm and trusting gaze.
"Which of you has a connection with our good Jingnan County King? If I say it now, I can forgive, but if I find out on my own, your whole family will be implicated. Gong Yizhen looked at these ministers with a sharp gaze.
It's not that he wants to doubt these people, but the current situation makes him sure that some of these people will definitely fall to Mo Yan.
In the comparison of the strength of the two sides, he is not superior, and the city has not been broken until now, and eighty percent is due to Mo Yan not attacking.
The empire has been weak for a long time, and it has long since decayed!
And neither the people nor the officials are loyal to the royal family.
There was no moment when Gong Yizhen felt it so clearly.
If he was given time, Gong Yizhen believed that he could change all this, but the crisis was imminent, but he couldn't do anything.
The only ones who can be relied on are these unfaithful ministers.
The ministers bowed their heads and stood as if they were logs, not moving or speaking.
"It seems that no one wants leniency?" Gong Yizhen felt a surge of anger in his heart, followed by a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Very good, I hope that after I find out, you can also face the results calmly." Gong Yizhen gritted his teeth.
The ministers were still unmoved, and Gong Yizhen could only flick his sleeves and leave.
The anger in his heart exploded, but he didn't beat anyone.
Gong Yizhen's mind is very clear, the more tense the moment, the more he can calm down, he knows that the current palace is like a large firecracker, as long as a little spark is ignited, it will burst into a crackle.
So you can't do anything to anyone, not even an inconspicuous little eunuch.
The foundation is too thin! This is a difficult problem that Gong Yizhen cannot solve.
Most of the people in the palace had never served him, did not know him, and could not talk about loyalty to him.
Gong Yizhen clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his steps, and went to find Yunxiu again.
Only Yunxiu can calm him in anger, which is a characteristic that others do not have.
Indeed, with Yunxiu's soft-spoken comfort, Gong Yizhen calmed down not long after, ordered dinner, and after the two of them ate, they both rested.
This time is too tired, not only the body is tired, but the heart is even more tired.
Gong Yizhen needs enough rest to let her brain spin, hoping to come up with a feasible solution tomorrow.
But who knows, Mo Yan, who has not moved outside the city, is attacking the city with lightning tonight.
Perhaps it should not have been said to be a siege, for by the time they rushed up, the gates were already open.
Gong Yizhen guessed well, some of his ministers did collude with Mo Yan's side, and there was more than one.
Mo Yan doesn't refuse, anyway, it can reduce his troubles, why not?!
For a whole night, the civilians of the capital retreated to their homes, listening to the movement outside in fear, and could not sleep.
The shouting of killing shook the entire capital, but it did not last all night, basically two hours later, the shouting disappeared, and the guards of the capital were either dead or surrendered with both hands.
The entire capital came under Mo Yan's control, and he sent troops to surround the palace, but did not attack, but only surrounded it.
Gong Yizhen was woken up in the middle of the night, and what he got was this bad news.
He couldn't sit still, changed into a dragon robe and went to the main hall, and sat on the dragon chair and waited under the protection of a group of guards.
waited until the sun rose in the east and illuminated everything, and I didn't see Mo Yan rushing in with his troops.
Gong Yizhen couldn't sit still, he took the guards to climb the palace wall, and saw Mo Yan sitting on a jujube red horse. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Fast Wear, Shoot Death Plot, Jun Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
