The next day, the army was under the imperial city, although it had not yet launched an attack, but Wen Yunxiang knew it in his heart.

The more time this drags on here, the slower the time to ascend the throne, the more time his father's reinforcements come to the rescue, and the less chance he has to usurp power.

But at least the division must be famous, and you can't rashly attack the city, otherwise even if he gets the throne one day, he will lose the support of the people after all.

Wen Yunxiang was waiting under the city for the city gate to open and negotiate with him, this person was Lin Tang, the commander of the remaining 10,000 imperial forest army.

Lin Tang rode alone and rode from the slightly open city gate, and the city gate quickly slammed shut.

Lin Tang had already explained to the guards guarding the city when he came out, no matter what, he had to firmly hold the last line of defense of the Ming Imperial City, and if something happened, even if he Lin Tang was splashed with blood on the spot, he was not allowed to open the city gate, giving Wen Yunxiang an opportunity.

Wen Yunxiang sneered when he saw Lin Tang coming out alone, this famous commander of the Imperial Forest Army is really extraordinary, and it can be seen that the soldiers and horses in the imperial city are indeed empty, and his throne is simply within reach.

Wen Yunxiang didn't know that the soldiers and horses in this far distance had already been ambushed near the city gate, if Wen Yunxiang had the intention of sending troops to attack the city, the strings of the archers around him would have already been full.

"General Lin is really bold, and he has the courage to go out of the city alone."

Lin Tang also disdained Wen Yunxiang, and snorted coldly, if he was the emperor of the dynasty before, Lin Tang would still be very respectful, but at this time, what he was in front of him was just a rebellious minister and thief who rebelled with his troops.

"You and the rebels, if you can disarm and surrender now, the emperor's great grace can let go of your life."

Lin Tang shouted this sentence hoarsely on his horse, and after saying that, there was some movement in Wen Yunxiang's army, and the soldiers were obviously a little shaken.

They are just ordinary soldiers, they have parents, wives and children, and families, so there is no need to rebel at all, but the soldiers have to be ordered by the generals.

Wen Yunxiang also noticed the abnormal movement in his army, and hurriedly said to the soldiers in the army

"Those who shake the hearts of the army will not be forgiven."

Obviously, Wen Yunxiang's words had a great deterrent effect, and the army was silent for a while.

Then Wen Yunxiang immediately said to the middle of the army

"They are deliberately letting us mess with ourselves, there are only 10,000 reserve troops in the imperial city at this time, you tell me, are you afraid?"

When everyone in the army heard that there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial city at this time, they immediately seemed to have regained their confidence, and raised the sword in their hands high

"We're not afraid, we're not afraid."

Wen Yunxiang looked at Lin Tang proudly and said to the soldiers

"This palace promises you that if you attack the imperial city, you will not hurt the people in the city, and after taking the palace, everyone will be rewarded with an official and a knight."

This sentence greatly stimulated everyone, and what they wanted was the safety of their families and their ability to soar.

At this time, Wen Yunxiang's soldiers and horses had begun to move, as if they had been suddenly ignited with a high fighting spirit, and a desire for power spread like a poppy in the army.

"Wen Yunxiang, do you know that you are doing a great rebellion." Lin Tang shouted angrily, and the green tendons on his neck also appeared.

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is Kou, and my father is old, so it's time to hand over the position to us young people."

Wen Yunxiang sat on the horse with an uncontrollable face, and did not hide the smugness in his eyes at all.

"Go back and tell my father that if he is willing to draft an edict of abdication and pass on the throne to me, I will immediately return the talisman so that the people on this side will not be disturbed, and everyone will be very happy."

Wen Yunxiang is also fighting for a justifiable edict for himself, so that he will not be criticized by future generations.

Lin Tang is not a reckless man who is brave enough to be brave, and responded immediately

"I'll tell the Holy God the truth when I go back, and I'll give you news in three days."

After that, he turned the horse's head and shook the horsewhip hard, and drove the horse back, the soldiers on the city wall have been closely watching the situation outside the city, and they didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and when they saw Lin Tang returning, the city gate was slightly opened, just enough for Lin Tang to enter with one person and one horse.

Lin Tang's move was a delaying tactic, he knew that His Majesty would definitely send someone to inform the situation in an urgent manner, and three days should be enough.

After returning home, Lin Tang stepped up his notice to the guards on the city wall to be on strict defense, ready to start a war at any time, and he quickly reported this time to the emperor.

Although he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for the emperor to pass on the throne to such a rebellious son, he still needed to report the critical situation of this matter to the saint for a decision.

Wen Yunxiang's army was stationed at the gate of the imperial city, and with the advantage of 20,000 soldiers and horses, he besieged the imperial city.

At this moment, the thrush went to Wen Yunxiang's big tent

"Your Royal Highness, the old man flying pigeon sent a message that the tutorial of the far-reaching army is very fast, we can't wait for three days, we must start in advance."

Wen Mingshi frowned, he also realized that the past three days were really a trick for them to delay the army.

If you really wait here for three days, you must have been able to wait for a large army, and the situation would be greatly reversed.

"What else did the prime minister say?"

Because the current situation in the imperial city was urgent, the city gate was sealed and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so as not to reveal the rumors in the city, so the prime minister could only send the news out at night in the form of flying pigeon transmission.

"The prime minister said that tomorrow at noon, he will order people to make trouble in the city, and he will definitely attract some guards to deal with the affairs of the city, and His Royal Highness will attack the palace in a big way."

Wen Yunxiang pondered for a while, instead of waiting for his father's uncertain reply, it was better to take the initiative to attack once, after all, he had been too weak in the first half of his life.

What's more, if distant soldiers and horses arrive, it must be difficult for him to escape the fate of being caught.

Wen Yunxiang nodded

"Okay, then tomorrow at noon."

Thrush arched his hand and Dao An withdrew from Wen Yunxiang's big tent.

This night, another force also began to act quietly, in Wen Yunxiang's seemingly calm army, the flames dancing on the torches were slightly distorted by the green smoke floating under the cold air.

The people wearing the uniforms of Wen Yunxiang's army quietly walked towards the grain and grass reserve as agreed.

At first glance, nothing unusual is noticed, just like an ordinary night sentry changing of the guard.

These people took out the fire oil prepared in advance on their chests and poured it around the granary, and one of them looked around left and right and took out a fire fold, opened it and blew it slightly, and when he saw a spark coming out, he threw it directly.

With the trigger of the fire oil, the grain and grass burned very quickly for a while, and I don't know who shouted

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

A few sentry posts appeared everywhere as if they had been prepared for a long time, and it was obvious that they knew each other with these people, and they came to put out the fire with buckets.

After a few buckets of water were poured down, the fire became extremely ferocious, and in an instant it swept away all the grain and grass.

The bucket was not filled with water, but with oil.
