Chapter 360: A Defeat
"All the departments immediately go back and prepare, and attack the city in two days, and those who dare to slack off will be killed!"
"Yes!" Although this is not the result they want to see, they have to admit that Liu Cheng is the monarch now, and they are courtiers.
The generals left, Liu Cheng helped me up, I returned to the tent with Liu Cheng, I looked at Liu Cheng and smiled, but Liu Cheng knelt in front of me with a plop, and said in a solemn voice, "Everything I have is given by my senior brother, whether I am the mountain Taoist priest or the Beiyin Emperor, the senior brother will always be my senior brother, this worship, return to the senior brother." ”
Liu Cheng's kneeling caught me off guard, and after helping him up, he said, "You once said that heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and saints are unkind to the people as dogs, you are the monarch, and the world is your courtiers, so we can only worship you, even if I am your senior brother, I can only worship you." ”
Liu Cheng was about to speak, but I stretched out my hand to interrupt him and get down to business, "What are the plans for the siege?" ”
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's really not easy to break through the capital city by force, and it can only be done by combining the inside and the outside, and Xuan Ji and Xuan Ya are the best candidates." I will write a letter of paper, sealing the Northern Emperor as the king of Xudu, and sent into the city by the senior brother, Xuanji Xuanya has been planning in the city for so long, and has already had her own faction, as long as you can open the city gate and let our army in, the city can naturally be broken. ”
"Okay." I nodded, I had made this plan as early as when I was in Luoyang, but I didn't explain it to Liu Cheng, but Liu Cheng thought about it with me, and felt more and more that I had interfered too much before, and his talent and talent were much higher than I imagined.
Liu Cheng then wrote the edict letter, and I took the edict and said, "I will catch the wind and wash the dust for you in the city of Xudu." ”
Liu Cheng smiled, and I took the edict book and rode to the bottom of the tower of the capital city.
Before it was approached, all the bows and arrows on the city of Yudu were aimed at me, and when I looked up, the person guarding the city above was Zhao Wenhe, he leaned down and looked down, recognized me, and his expression immediately became a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down, and said, "Mr. Sun is finally back, just now I heard your army chanting the Emperor of Beiyin, is Mr. Sun finally the emperor?" ”
Although I belong to a different camp from Zhao Wenhe, I still really admire Zhao Wenhe, and I bowed to him and replied, "Please Mr. Zhao open the city gate quickly, I am sending a letter to the Northern Emperor Liu on behalf of our Beiyin Emperor." ”
When Zhao Wenhe heard my words, he was stunned, "It's not you who is the emperor?" ”
"Please Mr. Zhao open the city gate quickly." I said.
In this era, the transmission of information was inconvenient, the two armies were at war, and a lot of information was transmitted by messengers, and in order not to delay important news, most of them would not let messengers enter the enemy camp.
However, the impression that I gave them before was only conspiracy and trickery, Zhao Wenhe hesitated again and again, thinking about whether to let me into the city, all he was entangled with was that he was afraid that I would enter the city and disturb the order, and the last time I entered the city, it would destroy their Heaven and Earth Creation Array, and I don't know what I will do this time. If you don't let me in, I'm afraid that important news will be delayed.
He hesitated for a long time, but still ordered a small crack in the city gate, and after I rode into it, I immediately closed the bronze gate, and Zhao Wenhe also came down from the city tower, saw me salute, and then said, "I will accompany Mr. Sun to see the Northern Emperor." ”
I said yes, and then went with him to the Senluo Palace, some distance from this, on the way I and Zhao Wenhe were speechless, but each had a question to ask, knowing that it was about to approach the Senluo Palace, I asked, "Previously, when Mr. Zhao was expelled by the Northern Emperor, he had said that he would leave a few plans to deal with me, and later was vetoed by the Northern Emperor, I want to know what those plans are." ”
Zhao Wenhe laughed twice, "Mr. Sun's three plans to kill me at the beginning, but they were just three plans set up according to the gourd painting scoop, which are not enough to worry about, and they have not been implemented, and now the time for the plan has passed, so don't mention it again." He changed his words, looked at me again, and said, "Actually, I knew early on that Mr. Sun would not be the emperor, but your junior brother would be the emperor." ”
I nodded, "I know, Zhang Heng once told me that you evaluate the three of us, Zhang Daoling is the general who dominates the world, I am the thief who disturbs the world, and my junior brother is the master of Zhou Tian Xingyao." ”
Zhao Wenhe laughed again when he saw that I remembered this, "However, Mr. Sun's courage to give up this position of emperor at his fingertips is impressive." ”
Saying that I have arrived outside the Senluo Palace, the news that I came to the capital city has been reported by ghost soldiers to the Northern Emperor, and the Northern Emperor is waiting for me in the Senluo Palace at this time, and when I enter, I saw that there were only three people in the Senluo Palace, Beidi and Xuanji Xuanya.
Zhao Wenhe went in to meet the Northern Emperor, and the Northern Emperor looked at me and said, "I heard that it was not you who called the emperor, I was surprised. But people like you often do things unexpectedly, if you really become the emperor, it's a bit vulgar, say, what are you doing here. ”
I and the Northern Emperor, are enemies, can also be said to be confidants, very strange feeling, even if he is the monarch of the enemy country, but I can't hate him at all, looking at his broken arm, even more guilty, said, "I am ordered by the Emperor of Beiyin, come to give Erfeng the book, seal the king of Eryudu......"
"Is it really the dragon swimming in the shallows that was played by shrimp? First Liu Hong named me the king of Xudu, and now Liu Cheng has named me the king of Xudu, which is really ridiculous. Beidi himself laughed as he spoke, "The people sent by Liu Hong were skinned and hung on the city wall by me for half a month, I can open the net to you, take the sealed book and roll, I want to see how you can break through the capital city." ”
"Holding on any longer will only add casualties, so why bother." I said.
Beidi smiled, "The monarchs of the past dynasties, I only admire Emperor Xin, who dared to fight with the sky and the gods, even if the capital was breached, he never lowered his head, **** and died, and did not let his life end in the hands of the enemy." I want to be the second king, this emperor will not die for a day, and there will only be one monarch in the Yin Division. Beidi said and suddenly his eyes became sharp, "Sun Qing, do you believe it, even if I really die, I will not be lonely, because you will definitely come down to accompany me." ”
"What did the Nine Heavens Xuannu tell you?" I asked, and she said I only had three months to live, and now I'm about the same.
Beidi shook his head, "When you really enter the capital city, you will naturally understand." Beidi waved his hand, "I treat you as a confidant, I don't want to drive you away, if you want to leave, you can leave now, if you don't want to leave, Senluo Hall will entertain you with good wine and meat, and you and I can also open our hearts and say these last few days." ”
I put away the sealed book, this time I didn't really seal him, but to let Xuanji Xuanya play a role, so I said, "Then take the best wine from your Senluo Palace." ”
"Okay." Beidi waved his arms, and after a while, someone brought good wine and meat, and after placing it in front of me, he said, "This time it's not human flesh." ”
After that, it was naturally a bitter drink, and the Northern Emperor came down directly from above, sat on the ground with me, and talked about his power when he broke through the Kunlun Ladder, and talked about how he became the Yin Emperor step by step.
Until late at night, when they were slightly drunk, I nodded to Xuan Ji Xuanya next to me, and the two naturally understood.
Beidi turned around and said, "Sun Qing and I still have to drink for a long time, you go back to rest first, if the city is broken, you don't have to be martyred for me." After speaking, Beidi grabbed my wrist, "After I die, the two of them entrust it to you, I am your enemy, they are not ......"
"Is it appropriate?" I asked Beidi in a daze.
Beidi laughed and said, "What's inappropriate, I dared to leave them in Luoyang last time, and I naturally dare to entrust them to you this time." ”
I responded, "Okay." ”
Xuanji Xuanya then left, and Beidi and I drank here until dawn.
At dawn, Zhao Wenhe and Zhang Heng hurried to the Senluo Palace, and when they saw me and Beidi, they only felt distressed, Beidi looked at them and said, "You guys don't guard the city well, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Heng and Zhao Wenhe knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Last night, Xuan Ji and Xuanya removed the guards of the four gates of the capital city, and we suspect that these two people have bad intentions, and we may defect on the verge of battle, and ask the Northern Emperor to immediately order the killing of these two." ”
I listened to it and chuckled in my heart, these two people have been targeting Xuan Ji Xuanya, I am afraid that they have long known that I came to Xudu City with ulterior motives, so I have been paying attention to them, otherwise it would be impossible to know the news so quickly.
looked at Beidi, but Beidi smiled and said, "They are my women, how can they betray me?" Let's go, I'm going to drink with Sun Qing. ”
"Northern Emperor!" Zhao Wenhe and Zhang Heng kowtowed again.
Beidi stood up and walked in front of the two, "I lost the force, the army was defeated like a mountain, and I lost the world again, do you want me to lose even my own woman?" If you dare to say it again, you two will be expelled from the capital city immediately! ”
"Please kill Xuan Ji Xuanya!" The two continued.
Beidi sneered, "What about killing them?" Can you hold the capital city? ”
"Please kill Xuanji Xuanya in the Northern Emperor! We can at least give it another try! ”
Beidi was furious, pointed at them and said, "Xudu City doesn't need you anymore, pack up your things and get out immediately!" ”
