Chapter 56: Take Turns
Under the walls of the imperial city, beyond the attack distance of bows and arrows, Li Dao Guo Yan's army gathered here. If you look at it from the sky, outside the imperial city, Li Dao Guo Yan's army is like a black spot, firmly attached to Chang'an City, and the black spot is so strong that it cannot be removed unless the flesh is torn off.
In the city that was burned down by lightning before, the soldiers were clearing the rubble, not that Li Daoguo had a kind intention to pacify and deal with the surviving people, but that the ruins there were just right for all kinds of large-scale siege equipment.
Looking at the catapults and ballistas that were gradually assembled in the distance, the lieutenant general beside Wang Yun glanced at Wang Yun quietly, and saw that Wang Yun was still an old god, so he couldn't help but sigh and retract his gaze.
But in the end, he couldn't help but speak.
"Taishi, why don't we send the emperor back to the palace, when these instruments are activated on the other side, what if we hurt the Son of Heaven!"
"What's the hurry?"
Wang Yun spoke slowly, as if everything was under his control.
"Just let the Son of Heaven be here, I don't believe it, those bandits dare to do something to the Son of Heaven?"
However, Wang Yun's explanation obviously did not convince the deputy general, who still insisted on his opinion and continued to advise.
"But after all, they are Dong Zhuo's remnants, Dong Zhuo dares to abolish the Son of Heaven and do something to the Son of Heaven, no one can guarantee that they will not do the same!"
In fact, the deputy general still hasn't said a word, even if the other party doesn't dare to make a move, even if it is surrounded like this, it is enough to surround Wang Yun, can it be said that Wang Yun still plans to lead the team to break through?
"What did you say?!"
Wang Yun's confident look was broken in an instant, and the deputy general's words just hit the biggest worry in Wang Yun's heart, Wang Yun had already deceived himself with that pair, this deputy general had to let himself understand that he was going to die, isn't it good to be a fool?
"Humph! It's impossible, the other side is just scaring us, a bunch of rabble, they can't do anything to the Son of Heaven! ”
Wang Yun was still stiff-mouthed, but as soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling sound from under the city.
I saw a boulder smashing on the ground in front of the city wall, but it was not even a foot away from the city wall.
"Scare and scare them."
Looking at the landing point of his catapult boulder, Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and the two of them, Li and Guo Yan, hearing Jia Xu's explanation, also laughed.
Chang'an is already a sure thing, and now there is only a handful of Wang Yun's forces left in the imperial city in the city, for them, Li and Guo Yan are not thinking about whether they can defeat it, but how to eradicate it with minimal loss.
And just when the two of them were scratching their heads, Jia Xu, who went outside the city, came back, and in the face of the question in front of him, Jia Xu's answer was very simple.
Attack the heart first.
"At the moment, Wang Yun has reached the end of his journey, but I guess he must still have some unrealistic hopes, and even with this little hope, he can rekindle his fighting spirit...... But what we have to do is very simple, just snuff out his last bit of hope, and the other side will naturally fall apart. ”
After explaining to Li Wei and Guo Yan unhurriedly, Jia Xu turned his head and ordered the herald.
"Let the trebuchet continue to be lost, as long as it doesn't hit people, you can throw it however you want; In addition, let the ballista shoot arrows at the imperial city gate, the same is true, just don't shoot people. ”
Even if most of the 100,000 troops under the two of them are homeless bandits at this time, at least it is the elite of the original Xiliang Army who controls the siege equipment.
"Bang!"
Unlike crashing into the city gate, although the effect is not good, at least the sound of the crossbow arrow nailing on the city gate is much sharper and more crisp. In the sound of the explosion, Wang Yun, who had old arms and legs, was so frightened that he jumped up.
How dare they attack the city?!
Wang Yun only had this one question on his mind now, but he completely ignored the fact that those instruments didn't hit anyone at all.
"What about the Son of Heaven, what about the Son of Heaven, take me and the Son of Heaven back to the palace!"
"The master can't be!"
Seeing Wang Yun's momentary panicked look, the deputy general hurriedly dissuaded.
"At the moment, there are no casualties on our side, and the morale is acceptable, but if the Taishi and the Son of Heaven withdraw at this time, the morale will definitely collapse!"
"Do you understand military strategy or do I understand it? This is a test firing, do you understand the test firing, do you have to wait until these stones fall on my head? ”
It's not impossible.
The adjutant muttered in his heart, but he still hurriedly arranged for the soldiers and sent Wang Yun and the Son of Heaven off the city wall.
"General, what are we going to do then?"
Wang Yun left, and it was naturally this deputy general who was in charge of defending the city wall, and the deputy general of this deputy general raised questions in a timely manner.
"What to do ......"
The lieutenant suddenly wanted to laugh, and he looked around, the bright armor of the Praetorian Guard could not hide the young or old faces of the people inside.
The stewards are gone, what else is he selling?
“…… Surrender. ”
……
Inside the Royal Palace.
Wang Yun sat in the main hall that belonged to the seat of the Taishi, which was the only seat that His Majesty could sit in the court, and it was Dong Zhuo who was originally sitting here, and then he was him, as for the future......
Wang Yun shook his head, not thinking about these depressing things, he looked around the hall, although there were no civil and military ministers, but the eunuch and palace maid in charge of the honor guard were still there.
Turning his head to look back, on the three steps further up, Liu Xie, the current son of heaven, was sitting upright on the dragon chair, and his face looked a little blurred under the crown beads.
All this was arranged by him, he wanted to make this place look like a court, although the military strategy lost, but after all, he is the Taishi, with the name of the Taishi, all this has a turnaround. After all, the reason why Li Dao Guo Yan rebelled in the first place was not to ask for a pardon?
Thinking like this, he felt that the cold seat under his thighs seemed to be warmer.
The eunuch in charge of etiquette hurriedly trotted over, and the eunuch's every move was in line with the rules of the court, and it was not slightly loosened by the situation at that time, which made Wang Yun's confidence rise a little more.
"Master, they're here."
Bowing to Wang Yun and Liu Xie, the eunuch said in a low voice.
"How many?"
"Three, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Jia Xu."
"Good."
Wang Yun nodded, and laughed unconsciously, it seems that his posture is really effective, there are only three people on the other side, which means that the other party is willing to talk, since he is willing to talk, then everything is easy to say.
"Announce it."
In the shouting of the eunuchs, the three of them went to the palace, and seeing the outfits of the three people, Wang Yun was even more proud.
Jia Xu is still dressed as a scholar, and the two generals Li Wei and Guo Yan, although they are still in military uniforms, at least they have unloaded the weapons on their bodies, and they are obviously obedient.
"Li Dao, Guo Yan, Jia Xu, the three of them have made meritorious contributions, please come forward to listen to the reward!"
Wang Yun opened his mouth and said that he wanted to hide from people first, and set the tone at the beginning of the matter.
But the echo swayed in the hall, but the three of them did not move.
"You ......"
"Wang Yun, we are so respectful, we respect Your Majesty, not you."
Guo Yan interrupted Wang Yun's interrogation, and he squinted at Wang Yun, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"You ......"
Wang Yun was about to scold, but when he saw Na Jia Xu waving his hand, his words were interrupted again.
"There's no need to be polite, you can make conditions."
"I ......"
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, but still accepted the facts in the fierce eyes of Li Dao and Guo Yan.
“…… Dong Zhuo Fu Xu, your affairs are written off. ”
"You would have been fine before we started the army, but now, no."
Jia Xu waved his hand and motioned for Wang Yun to make another offer.
"That'...... You are appointed as the captain of the Governor, and the original soldiers and horses continue to lead, guarding the Sanguan Pass and Xiao Pass. ”
"It's okay if you're under Chang'an City, but now, it's not good."
"That'...... Mighty general, Fenwei general, concurrently Yongliang Prefecture pastor? ”
"It's okay if you're in the Imperial City, but now, no."
"That ......"
"Don't say it, you can't give us what we want."
Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, then faced the Son of Heaven and bowed.
"Wang Yun pretended to be the name of the Taishi, hijacked the Son of Heaven, disturbed the court, and now there is Li Dao Guo Yan, raising troops, Qing Jun side, if there is a shock, please forgive the sin!"
When the words fell, Li Dao and Guo Yan suddenly burst out, but they attacked Wang Yun from left to right!
It was only at this time that Wang Yun remembered that although Li Dao Guo Yan was just an ordinary general, it was okay to kill him without weapons.
