Chapter 160: The Abolition of the Crown Prince (9)
Ye Mujing took off his thick fox fur and handed it to Ayan, "You are too thinly dressed......"
"He's used to it." Ye Mushen pushed Ye Mujing's hand away, and his mood was inexplicably bad, "Brother Jing, he's just a scholar." ”
"How do you say that? Ayan is our friend. Ye Mujing's gentle smile on his face was dazzling.
He took back the fox fur lonely, and no longer draped it on his shoulders, as if he wanted to accompany Ayan to suffer the cold.
"Your Highness is right. I'm not cold. Ayan looked at Ye Mushen's slightly reddened side face, and her beautiful eyes were shining with a crystal that made people feel tightened when they saw it.
"What happened?" Ye Mushen reluctantly grabbed Ayan's hand and covered it in the palm of his hand, "How was Luoyang captured?" ”
Ayan's slender hand was so cold that he shrank in horror when his fingers touched Ye Mushen's palm.
With a single stroke, the five princes were furious.
Ye Mushen would not be rude to Ayan in front of Ye Mujing, but only clenched his hands tighter.
Ayan pursed his lips -
"Today, Luoyang is fifty miles around, there are 12 guards in the south and 16 horses in the north.
"In addition, there are six divisions in front of the palace and eight divisions of the guards.
"As early as more than 400 years ago, some of these places were horse farms and some were private houses......
"Yeli's reinforcements are still thousands of miles away, so they can only give up the frontal attack for the time being.
"Yeli surrendered, and at the same time, the northern Jurchen tribe also slaughtered the city on the border, and the Jiang clan also relaxed their vigilance against Yeli.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yeli led more than 300 soldiers to destroy the places just mentioned one by one and take them for their own use.
Later, Yeli met with reinforcements outside Luoyang City, and it took a month for 8,000 reinforcements to disguise themselves as civilians and enter Luoyang City.
"The forty-two inconspicuous abandoned places around Luoyang have unknowingly become the strongholds of Yeli.
By the time Jiang found out that external troubles had become internal worries, it was already too late.
"Underneath the forty-two camps, there are forty-two passages leading to the palace.
"Jiang did not want to listen to the advice of the courtiers, and he would die in the palace.
"The people of the world have suffered a lot, but he sings every night, drunk and dreams of death.
"The 8,000-strong army took the city by surprise, evaded the Praetorian Guard, and surrounded the imperial city through the tunnels.
Without much effort, Yeli cut off the head of the Jiang clan with a sword......
Since then, this piece of country is no longer surnamed Jiang, but has been given the surname Ye.
"Yeli was scheming, worried that people with sinister intentions would attack the city in the same way, so he ordered the underground passage to be sealed, and all the forty-two abandoned places were converted into forbidden military training halls.
"On the map of Luoyang City, you can't see the forty-two training halls.
"It is said that the places have been specially designed to look like ordinary houses or horse farms.
"Therefore, the reason why the forbidden army training hall is hidden, in the final analysis, is not only because of the extraordinary mission of the elite soldiers inside......
"It's even more because the underground of those places is actually a secret passage to the imperial city.
"Exposing the Forbidden Military Training Hall is equivalent to exposing the weakness of the Imperial City - in times of war, it is undoubtedly fatal."
"Ayan, how did you know these things?" Ye Mujing looked at Ayan in amazement.
"I'm ......" Ayan lowered his head, his pale face slowly dyed crimson.
"Brother Jing, don't ask." Ye Mushen let go of Ayan's warm hand, "He, all he knows is something strange. ”
