"Last year, the high thief envoy built the Jinyang Palace, and used many prisoners of war from the West, so he had to supervise the work here for several months. In order to show respect for Ye Palace, the palace here is not connected with Zhucheng when it is planned, and it is self-contained......"

Luo Chao strode towards Li Tai, and said with a smile on his face: "Since the beginning of the construction of this palace, no idle people are allowed to enter and exit, so many people in the east do not know about this palace. Fortunately, Li Kaifu has strong luck, and he has to have this merit with a certain deed! ”

"General Luo doesn't have to be polite, I can go down this city because of your advice and guidance. Otherwise, I and all the soldiers will always have infinite ambition, and I don't know where to go! ”

Li Tai praised Luo Chao unhesitantly, and being able to capture this Jinyang Palace was definitely a surprise for him. Originally, he just wanted to toss outside Jinyang City, but he never thought that he would be able to break through the city defense.

Although this Jinyang Palace is not Jinyang City in the strict sense, its political significance is even greater than that of Jinyang City.

Jinyang City is nothing more than Gao Huan's overlord lair, but Jinyang Palace is the palace of the Eastern Wei Emperor, and it is thanks to the good luck of the "dog's foot" that he did not live here, otherwise the situation of this thing splitting will not end in the hands of my Li Boshan!

The scale of Jinyang Palace is not small, there are several miles of distance between the east and west, north and south, and the halls in it form an independent cross-courtyard as the center, and they are distributed in the palace garden.

Some of these homes are already in use, while others are still idle or under construction. Zhu Meng and they immediately rushed to the most central hall, and killed hundreds of guards stationed around the hall, and there were many precious utensils and materials scattered inside and outside the hall, and the houses on both sides of the hall were the warehouses for storing materials in the Jinyang Palace.

However, it is too late to take stock of the loot at the moment, as they invade the Jinyang Palace, it is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and there are suddenly noisy noises in the cities around the palace, especially in the south of the Great Prime Minister's Mansion, which is not far from the Jinyang Palace, and the sound of drums and horns continues.

Just listening to the noisy sounds around you, you can imagine that this place will be under siege in the near future. Li Tai left Li Yunxin and a team of men and horses when he ran down, in order to retain part of the combat effectiveness of guerrilla tactics, and after entering Jinyang Palace, he also left some people and horses in the northwest of the palace between the Xishan mountain road, so as not to be directly wrapped dumplings.

Liang Shiyan and others searched among the palaces, expelled all the people they found and concentrated them in the palace to the north, and there were nearly 2,000 men and women alone, and at the same time, they also determined the location of several armories, and looted and transported some of the sophisticated armor.

When these horses returned, one by one they seemed to have fallen into the rats in the rice tank, and they even wore and resisted, and some of the excellent armor that could only be worn at the level of a governor in Kansai had one or two hands, and spears and lances became the most common things.

】

Seeing that they looked like nouveau riche, Li Tai was also very happy, and hurriedly ordered the other soldiers to go to the arsenal to arm themselves while the Eastern Wei people had not yet invaded.

"Lord Lang, this city is too vast, I'm afraid it's not good to defend it completely! It is best to use this hall as a camp and abandon the palaces in the southeast. There is no shortage of armor knives and bows, even if there are thousands of thieves, they can only attack in zigzag between the walls and corridors, which is enough to hold on for a long time! ”

When Liang Shiyan searched to the south, he kept the terrain pattern in mind by the way, although he was not as endowed as Han Guo, but with his vivid memory, he quickly drew up a defensive plan, and hurriedly reported to Li Tai.

"Without further ado, let's hurry up and set up defenses!"

After hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly nodded and said, of course he didn't want to dominate Jinyang Palace and not leave, but he came here, and it would definitely be a great pity if he didn't pack up and take away the personnel harvest here.

After entering this palace, he was also quickly observing the terrain, as Liang Shiyan said, it was indeed very difficult to completely defend this palace with the more than 2,000 people he had entered here, but it was not too difficult to demarcate a palace area and hold it for a period of time.

The soldiers performed their duties, some continued to collect materials that could be used in the next battle, and some selected men and women from among the captives of the palace servants and drove them to build various defenses.

The most important of these is naturally related to the back road, there is a gap in the palace wall in the northwest corner of the palace that is not blocked, and there is a mountain road that extends to the west mountain, which is used to transport all kinds of stones mined in the west mountain, so it is also open and straight, so it can directly enter the western mountains, which is also a ready-made retreat.

Li Tai's subordinates were busy in Jinyang Palace, but according to this, the nearest Prime Minister's Mansion had already exploded.

"Jinyang Palace has fallen? Master Wei Di and how did he arrange the city defenses! ”

In the direct hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Yue also put on armor and stayed here after learning that there was an enemy trace outside the northern city, and his mood was also anxious, and when he heard that Jinyang Palace was actually attacked by the enemy, he was immediately shocked.

He used to be an auxiliary minister of the dynasty, and he was not a relatively simple martial artist like Di Gan, and he knew in his heart that Jinyang Palace was of great significance, and he had performed his duties before, so it was inconvenient to interfere with Di Gan's affairs, but he didn't expect the city defense to reveal such a big loophole.

Jinyang Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion are far apart, whether it is the meaning of the palace itself or in the actual situation, if it is occupied by the enemy, the consequences are very serious.

Although it is not known what the response has been made by the Di Gan in Luocheng in the north, Gao Yue can no longer be at ease here, so he first led the cavalry Cao to join the army and Bai Jian led the remaining men and horses to protect the inner mansion and ensure the safety of the inner government no matter what happens.

Then he led several other soldiers who stayed behind to join the army and went to the south of the city with his warrant, and visited the mansions of the powerful families in the south of the city one by one, and ordered them to quickly gather their troops, and wait until dawn to go straight to the prime minister's mansion to listen to the order.

As soon as he had made arrangements for all the things here, a burly general outside the hall walked into the hall and said to Gao Yue in the hall: "Qinghe Gong, the voices outside the palace are chaotic, and the envoy of the inner government is here to ask what happened?" ”

Gao Yuezheng felt a little anxious, and after hearing this, he said impatiently: "There are all the people in the matter outside who are guarding with their lives, and the inner government can be safe." If you don't die, then pay homage. ”

Although the rank of general is far inferior to Gao Yue, he is the origin of the cangtou family slave under King Gao, whose name is Liu Taozhi, but he did not retreat after hearing the words, and still stood in place and said: "How is the life and death of Qinghe Gong, the slave dare not ask." But the safety of the master's family is not something that can be reached, if Qinghe Gong does not tell the truth, the slave does not know what to do after returning! ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he suppressed the irritability in his heart a little, and said: "There are indeed thieves all the way into Kou Jinyang Palace, but tonight is dark, and the thief's situation is unknown. The garrison of Jinyang Palace is empty, so it is taken advantage of by thieves. But the house is fully armed, and the thief will fold when he comes, please return to the inner house to be calm and not be impatient, and the chaos will be inevitable after dawn! ”

After Liu Taozhi heard this, he said goodbye and left, but after a short time, he went and returned, with more than 100 heavily armed armor guards behind him, and bowed to Gao Yue and said: "The slave of the inner government told the Qinghe Gong that since the establishment of the king, Jinyang has not suffered such a bad thing. But there is a glimmer of possibility, please be sure to punish all the offenders here, and the slaves will also obey the orders of Qinghe Gong. ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, could he still let the enemy go?

However, he also understood that the uneasiness of the inner government that was deceived and disturbed by the enemy was a dereliction of duty on the part of those who stayed behind, and it was no wonder that the inner government complained, so he said in a deep voice: "Protecting the country and killing the enemy is within the scope of duty, but now the remaining guards are all dispatched from the Taishi Di, you are equivalent to waiting here, and all you get is to stick to the mansion." I have already informed all the families outside the city that after dawn, all the canonical departments can enter the city to obey orders, and the city defense can be supplemented, and there is no need to labor the manpower of the inner government. ”

Liu Taozhi didn't hear this, raised his hand and signaled the group of soldiers behind him to line up under the corridor of the straight hall, and he himself stood on the side of the straight hall with a knife and a cane.

When Gao Yue saw this, he didn't say anything more, but while he went to Luocheng to inquire about the latest situation, he waited for the dawn in the straight hall.
