Renshou Palace in the Forbidden City

The Empress Dowager Sun on the phoenix collapse has been suffering from insomnia since Zhu Qizhen was arrested, and she will still toss and turn in bed and cannot sleep. Suddenly, she heard a chaotic shouting in her ears, and she was already upset, and she couldn't suppress her anger anymore.

"Li Yongchang! Take care of your people! The noisy mourning family is too big, and they will be driven out of the palace if they don't know the system! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Yongchang also shouted outside the door: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" The emperor, the emperor he, he, he, he's back! ”

Empress Dowager Sun was taken aback and asked in disbelief: "Is the Emperor Warafang back?" What conditions are not there? ”

Li Yongchang hurriedly said: "The emperor came back by himself, this will already enter the Forbidden City, the Queen Mother, you can go and take a look." ”

Empress Dowager Sun didn't hesitate anymore, and called the palace maid to come in and serve, and the quiet deep palace was busy.

Juyongguan

Sun Bin, the commander of the town guard Juyongguan, stood at the head of the city, and first followed Xiao Weizhen, who was wearing a dragon robe, under the city, Sun Bin shouted: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being disrespectful, and the military order cannot go out of the city, please be safe!" ”

also said first: "General Sun, I am here to escort the emperor back to Beijing." Since you don't believe it, then you can take someone to take the emperor away, and I can be regarded as doing my duty as a courtier. Otherwise, after I leave, if the emperor makes a mistake, it will be your sin! ”

As soon as Sun Bin heard this, the other party would rather not enter the city than ask the emperor to return to the court, and he had no reason not to greet him, but he was cunning first, and the order he received was to stick to Juyong Pass, in case something happened, then ......

When he was hesitating, Sun Bin saw that the emperor seemed to whisper a few words to Yexian, and he shouted at himself first: "General Sun, the emperor asked me: Do you still recognize this emperor?" ”

Sun Bin suddenly explained in his heart: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister does not dare to deny the emperor, and he will not deny the emperor!" It's really the queen mother's life, and she wants the ministers to stick to the mediocre pass, and the ministers and ministers don't dare to disobey the emperor! The Ming Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, please be considerate of the courtiers! ”

also snorted first, this Sun Bin took the queen mother to press the emperor, do you think I can't help it?

"General Sun, since you don't believe me, then I can't help it. I'll stay here for the emperor, and I don't care about the rest, ah, your majesty, you say! As he was talking, he put his head on Xiao Weizhen's mouth again, Xiao Weizhen struggled violently, but Sun Bin thought it was the emperor's anger.

"General Sun! The emperor said: The queen mother asked you to guard the pass, but she didn't want you to stop me from returning to Beijing! If you don't let the door open again, when I return to the palace, I will severely punish you for the crime of separation! ”

Sun Bin turned his head and asked, "How is the situation?" The adjutant general next to him replied: "General, I am sure that there are only a few hundred enemy troops at the gate of the city." ”

With the thoughts in his mind racing, Sun Bin finally made up his mind and said to the deputy general: "I'll pick up the emperor, you sit in the city, closely monitor the movements of Warat, and close the city gate as soon as Warat makes a move." ”

"Then general, what should you do with the emperor?" The adjutant asked.

"It is my duty to be loyal to my country." Sun Bin said lightly. Then he leaned on the city wall and shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen will pick you up immediately!" Please bear with me a little longer! Then he disappeared into the castle.

also showed a satisfied smile first, Xiao Weizhen beside him glared angrily, his mouth was sealed by a hideous needle and thread, and blood kept coming out under the force.

"What do you see? Isn't that what you want to do, how about it feel to open the city gate instead of the emperor? Why don't I explain to you what you mean at this point? "Ask first, too.

When Xiao Weizhen heard this, he really stopped struggling, and the hatred in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

didn't care about him anymore, staring at the direction of the city gate, not long after Sun Bin went downstairs, he heard the creaking sound caused by the friction of the city gate, and then the drawbridge was slowly lowered, gradually revealing Sun Bin behind him, and the Ming army who was waiting around him.

He also smiled more and more strongly, turned his head to Yuan Si beside him and said, "Yuan Si, your people are in place, right?" ”

"Yes, Master."

"Haha, good! Pass my military order, and all the troops are ready to attack! ”

Yuan Si took the order to leave, Xiao Weizhen's body beside him was shocked, but his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was sewn up, what could he do at this moment?

The slowly falling suspension bridge is like an inverted hourglass, a little bit of countdown to the time when Juyong is broken, Xiao Weizhen is getting more and more anxious, and the wound is constantly torn in a hurry, and his face looks hideous and terrifying.

The drawbridge finally fell completely, and Sun Bin's expected Wara ambush did not appear, and he didn't make a move first, so he stood there quietly, as if he was really just to send the emperor back, but even if he sent the emperor back to Beijing, he should come over, right? Wrong......

I'm also waiting for the time to kill with one hit.

Sun Bin came to the end of the suspension bridge, the emperor's figure in the night was a little illusory, it was indeed the appearance in his memory, but the light was too dark to see clearly.

"First, I have come down to greet the emperor, so I ask you to fulfill your promise and send the emperor over. But only you can come in person! Sun Bin said.

He also sneered disdainfully and said, "I'm going alone, can I come back?" As a courtier, you didn't come to greet the emperor, but let the emperor rush to see you, what a courtier's duty! You're right! Emperor? ”

One sentence choked Sun Bin to death, but Sun Bin didn't dare to rush forward, in case he also broke out first, his own death was a small matter, and Juyongguan's safety was a big matter.

He was not in a hurry first, and waited quietly for Sun Bin to speak.

Sun Bin thought for a long time before saying: "The minister can only offend, and can only send someone to invite the emperor to enter the customs!" ”

The two of them took the order forward, and they also moved their eyes to the pass without a trace, at this time the city was still in a posture of being in a tight position, knowing that the time had not come, they hurriedly tried to find a way to delay the time.

"Wait!" also shouted in a low voice: "The emperor promised to reward me with 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 horses of silk, and please give it here with a royal pen, and General Sun will borrow the four treasures of the study!"

Sun Bin said in his heart: It's really not that easy. Then there was some disdain: a tartar is a tartar, and some yellow and white things can be discarded.

"Go get a set of study rooms, be quick!" Just now, I was out to pick up Zhu Qizhen's two personal guards. Then he turned around and ran into the city.

Sun Bin was eagerly waiting for the two of them to come back, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he found that he was also waiting for something anxiously, was he really just waiting for those belongings?

"Not good! The enemy has entered the city! Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him, Sun Bin's heart sank to the bottom, and when he looked back, the Warat people didn't know where to enter the city, and they had already fought with the defenders at this moment.

"Oops! It's that door! Sun Bin was shocked and understood how the Warat people entered the city. It must be that after gathering all the people by himself, he took advantage of the weakness to enter the small gate, but the passage was very small, and the gate could only allow one person to pass through.

"Don't go, General Sun, look!" I shouted happily first.

Sun Bin looked back and saw that he also raised the knife first, one of the emperor's arms fell, and the emperor fell to the ground, and before he could make a move, he was also stepped on in the face first, and his body was also held down.

"General Sun, if you don't surrender, the emperor will die!"

"Let go of the emperor!" Sun Bin's eyes were blood-red, and his anger rushed straight to Tianlinggai, but he was dragged and couldn't retreat, and he knelt anxiously to the emperor's position.

Behind him was the gradually increasing number of Warat soldiers, and under the sudden sneak attack, the Ming army camp was torn open a huge opening, and the Ming army led by the main general was lost, allowing Warat to gain a firm foothold.

Just when Sun Bin was in a dilemma, Xiao Weizhen finally broke open the cotton thread on his mouth, and his lips swept out a blood-red color on the ground like a broom, Xiao Weizhen roared: "General Sun! I'm Xiao Weizhen! The emperor has returned to Beijing! Go back and defend the city! ”

"You Ming pig, since you are looking for your own death, I will send you on your way!" I didn't pay attention for a while, Xiao Weizhen could really hold back this pain and speak, his heart was already furious, and he cut off Xiao Weizhen's head with a knife.

"Not the emperor? Not the emperor! Quick, climb the drawbridge, and follow me to the city's aid! Sun Bin woke up like a dream, took a deep look at Xiao Weizhen's corpse, and turned around to return to the city.

But how could he let him go back so easily, seeing that the plan was revealed, countless arrows shot from the darkness after an order, and the Ming army outside the city fell to the ground one after another, and the drawbridge that had just risen also fell heavily.

However, after all, the secret passage was too small, and the Warat troops did not sneak in fast enough, and they did not delay enough time at first, and at this moment, Sun Bin, who knew that the emperor was no longer in the hands of Warat, had already begun to command the troops in the city to close the door.

Sun Bin hid behind the bunker and ordered: "Close the city gate quickly!" "Preparing to abandon the drawbridge, Warat has always been dominated by cavalry raids, and there are no siege equipment. Even if you give up the drawbridge and close the city gate, there is nothing the other party can do.

"Quick! Get into town now. Seeing the movement of the Ming army, he also gave up the arrow array first and took the lead in rushing up.

When he stepped on the suspension bridge, half of the city gate was closed, and Sun Bin was able to re-enter the city because the arrow rain stopped, but the other half of the gate was guarded by the Wara people in the city, because the space was limited, and the attack speed was very slow.

Sun Bin saw that he had already led people to attack the drawbridge, so he could only lead people to fight first, leaving the deputy to continue to deal with the enemy troops in the city gate, and the Warat army in the city was gradually divided at the secret passage and the city gate.

Also opposite Sun Bin first, the cavalry charge lost its effect under the cover of the moat, and the two sides could only compete with the military quality of their subordinate armies.

The Warat people wore Mongolian scimitars, and before they came close, they shot the arrows on their bodies first, and the team of hundreds of people, almost all of them were marksmen, and they aimed at the angles that the Ming army had no protection, and under the fierce shooting in turns, Sun Bin's generals still lay down on the ground even if they had a shield to protect their bodies.

After approaching, it is the scimitar in the hand to solve, and the horse comes to the city gate first, Sun Bin's advantage is revealed, the Vara cavalry is good at mobility, so there are not many long weapons such as spears and spears, Sun Bin and other Ming troops will hold the spears and spears in their hands in front of them, under the mystery of an inch long and an inch strong, Vara can only drive horses to melee combat after the inertia of the charge is exhausted, and the cold weapon battlefield is like a blood-colored grinding disc, harvesting the lives of soldiers.

But the city gate could no longer be controlled, and although the entrance to the sneak attack was blocked, the Varat army in front blocked the city gate and slowly advanced inward.

"General! Juyong Pass has fallen! ”

A white-robed general was silent for a moment, and then ordered: "Order the whole army, immediately follow me to defend Beijing!" ”
