Kyoto, on the south gate tower, a group of Han army generals gathered here and listened to Zheng Tai's roar:

"The country is in danger, and there are no two loyal and brave people? Aren't you all quite capable on weekdays? Why are you shrinking your eggs now? ”

It turned out that this morning Zheng Tai finally couldn't bear the catapult outside the city, and decided to recruit warriors from the army to go out of the city to attack the catapult, but the result was obvious, none of these Han soldiers received this mortal mission.

And what's even more chilling is that when Zheng Tai roared here, suddenly there was a murmur in the crowd:

"The general is so loyal and brave, why don't you take a team of men and horses to attack the city?"

Zheng Tai was furious:

"Who, who said that?"

The other generals stepped out of the way, revealing a general with a scar on his face.

When Zheng Tai saw this person, he choked, it turned out that this person was Zhu Jun's clansman Zhu Guang, and he was also a fierce general.

The most legendary thing about this man is a few days ago when he and a group of elite soldiers crossed the water gate in a small boat to attack the camp of the Tarzan army outside the moat.

But I didn't expect to be discovered by the lookout of the Taishan Army as soon as I went out, and the nearby assault horses rushed in.

Helpless, everyone could only retreat, but when retreating, Zhu Guang's boat overturned all of a sudden, and the six armored soldiers, including him, all fell into the moat.

Just when everyone at the head of the city thought that Zhu Guang was going to die, he suddenly swam up from the water, and finally was pulled up by the robe from exhaustion.

So everyone in the army knew this person, and this one could escape from the ghost gate.

Under intense pressure, people instinctively believe in people and things with a mystical tinge.

But today, the Taishan army emptied the moat, and Zhu Guang at the head of the city saw the robes that had fought with him before, and they had all rotted in the mud and were covered by the Taishan army.

So, Zhu Guang couldn't stand it anymore, and finally opened his mouth to mock when he heard that Zheng Tai, a child of the family, was still barking there.

But just when everyone thought that Zheng Tai was going to clean up this Zhu Guang, they saw Zheng Tai reply lightly:

"Okay, then please Zhu Guang to see what kind of color my Zheng Tai is."

Then, without saying a word, he retreated from the city.

……

That night, Zheng Tai asked the house witch at home about the murderer, and after getting a "big murderer" word, Zheng Tai laughed, and then wore the clothes and armor handed down by his father, killed the house witch with a knife, and then cut off his head and went out of the hall door.

In the courtyard outside the hall gate, a group of seventy or eighty ironclad soldiers was standing with a sense of urgency.

Zheng Tai threw the head of the house witch into the courtyard, looked at these Zheng family's blessings, and whispered:

"This person said that I was fierce, then I will kill him, and only I can break Zheng Tai's own murderous luck."

It wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.

Subsequently, Zheng Tai led these people down the street to Yongmen.

In the dark night, there were constantly some sons of the ministers who came from the Li District with their subordinates, and they all knew that Zheng Tai was going to attack the camp tonight, so they came to follow.

They want the whole world to know that these young children are still willing to shed their blood for the Han family.

The crowd gathered more and more, and when they reached the Yongmen Gate, Zheng Tai's team had unconsciously swelled to 3,000 people, all of whom were the elite of various families in the city.

At this moment, they came to Yongmen, where the generals led by Zhu Guang were already waiting.

In the dark night, Zhu Guang looked at Zheng Tai with a complicated expression, he didn't expect that he would say a word, this Zheng Tai was really going to go out of the city and attack at night.

He walked up to Zheng Tai, suddenly gave himself a mouthful, and solemnly apologized:

"Captain, my old Zhu has served you."

After speaking, this person drew his knife and stood behind Zheng Tai.

Zheng Tai didn't speak, exhaled deeply, and then let the doorman open the door.

Looking at the slowly opening city gate, Zheng Tai asked people to chew on the horse, and then turned over on the horse.

After they rushed out of the city, thanks to the Taishan army filling in the ravine, these people were able to kill the Taishan army outside the west city with a flat river.

Between the gallops, the movement of the cavalry can no longer be hidden, but at this moment, the barrier of the Taishan army is close at hand, and there is no need to hide.

In this way, Zheng Tai roared angrily, and then poured into the enemy camp.

But in an instant, everyone's faces turned pale, because the barracks of Nuoda were empty.

At this point, they understood that the plan for the night attack had been leaked.

In the darkness, they seemed to hear the sound of countless horses' hooves approaching them, and the tide was reversed.

Zheng Tai's face changed, and he shouted:

"Breakout."

In this way, a night attack became a breakthrough in the blink of an eye.

……

As soon as Zheng Tai led the people away, several horses came running on the street behind the Yongmen, and one of them was Yu Tuo.

After learning that Zheng Taigang took people away, Yu Fu couldn't help but say:

"Yes."

Then Yu Pan ordered the doormen to close the Yongmen.

But the Yongmen officials, you look at me, I look at you, no one moves. One of them said:

"Captain Zheng is still outside the city, let's close it, it will be difficult for him to come in."

At this moment, Yu turned annoyed, took out Zhu Jun's talisman directly from his chest, and shouted:

"The handsome rune is here, and you still don't listen to the order?"

Finally, the doorkeepers carefully inspected the runes, and finally reluctantly closed the door.

Subsequently, Yu turned no longer concerned with these angry city gate officials, and quickly galloped back to the tall building to report the worst situation to Zhu Jun.

……

On the high-rise building, all sides are blocked by wooden planks to prevent wind from wind.

In the dark, Zhu Jun lay alone in the Hu bed and kept coughing.

Today, his right eyelid has been beating wildly all the time.

The long military life made him very superstitious about this, so he sent the tooth soldiers out to find out if there was anything else unusual in the city.

Sure enough, after Yu turned them out, he quickly brought news to Zhu Jun.

That is, a group of ministers led by Zheng Tai are going to attack the camp of the Taishan army tonight.

Although Zhu Jun couldn't get out of bed, he was very conscious, and he asked a key question:

"How did you find out that Zheng Tai was going to attack the city?"

Unexpectedly, Yu turned them over and laughed:

"Do you still need to ask? It is said to be known throughout the city. Many of the children of the ministers have long raised flags in their homes, writing the words 'Imperial Victory'. ”

Zhu Jun was shocked and exclaimed:

"This kind of attack on the city is so urgent, how can it be so unthoughtful, the enemy army must have a careful work in Kyoto, and those who are at both ends of the snake and mouse will inevitably betray the information to the Taishan army. And now that this matter is known to everyone, is Zheng Tai acting so carelessly? ”

But Yu Chuan said a different opinion, and he said disappretently to Zhu Jun:

"Dashuai, I don't think Zheng Tai is thinking about going out of the city to attack at night, I heard that today Bai Ri and your clansman Zhu Guang stiffened in the city, and he couldn't get off the stage before he said cruel words. The children of the ministers of their generation are self-exalted on the cliffs, and they have never been in danger, how can they go to danger in person? ”

Zhu Jun also loosened, he muttered a few words, and others couldn't hear clearly.

In the end, he was still worried, and said to Yu:

"You go to explore more, and if there is a change, report to me immediately."

After speaking, Zhu Jun felt tired, so he let Yu go down.

After that, just after nightfall, Yu Chuan came in and Jiao said:

"Dashuai, then Zheng Tai really led people to attack, he really has the courage."

Zhu Jun was in a hurry and realized that the general situation was not good, so on the one hand, he asked Yu to chase after him, and on the other hand, he asked his nephew Zhu Tao to organize the remaining troops and be sure to rescue Zheng Tai.

After the two of them got down, they turned around and went out, and Zhu Tao said to Yu:

"It's fine if you catch up, but if you don't, let the gates be closed."

Yu looked at Zhu Tao suspiciously, unable to understand what he meant.

In the dark night, the shadows were swaying, and Zhu Tao said lightly:

"The mistake has been cast, so we can't make mistakes again and again, and we can't let the whole of Kyoto be dragged down by Zheng Tai."

Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment and said to Zhu Tao:

"Although I don't look down on the children of the minister, I still admire someone like Zheng Tai, and we have to save him. And this is also the order of the marshal, otherwise how to explain. ”

Hearing Yu Tuo's innocent words, Zhu Tao laughed all of a sudden, and he shook his head:

"You, you still don't understand who those ministers are."

Yu Fu hated Zhu Tao's trickery, and said:

"Oh, who are they?"

Zhu Tao didn't care about Yu Xuan's petty temperament, but looked at the Nangong on the high place, and said leisurely:

"They, they are a group of people who can do the most unrighteous and shameless things in the world for the sake of profit, and they can still speak righteously."

As he spoke, he told Yu Translation:

"Don't you think it's all weird? Why did Zheng Tai suddenly become so angry? Why did this attack make the whole city known? Why would the ministers, who had nothing to do with themselves during the war, allow their own children to go out of the city with their elite troops? Haven't you thought about any of this? ”

Yu is not stupid, on the contrary, this person has great wisdom, he loves to study the Book of Changes, although at first he studied this only because it is the least number of words in the classics, and it does not need to be read by famous teachers.

But after really studying, he fell in love with the Book of Changes, and one of the most profound truths he learned from it is that everything is in flux, and there is no such thing as constancy, so accidents and transitions are bound to occur.

So after listening to Zhu Tao's words, he quickly understood and said:

"So they left the city trying to escape?"

Zhu Tao nodded and shook his head, he said helplessly:

"There is a possibility, and I'm more worried, this is someone else's vote?"

After hearing this, Yu turned his head and ran to the stable without saying a word, and then galloped to Yongmen.

The two didn't talk again, what exactly is it as a vote?

It could be that Zheng Tai, it could be the children of the ministers, it could be some of them, or even more likely, it was this Kyoto.

What it is, outsiders don't know, but everything is also unspoken.

……

The next day, Chendan.

The Han soldiers on the city wall were horrified to find that the Taishan army outside the city had placed hundreds of flags on the ground, and then a group of prisoners were tied up and marched.

After being escorted around Kyoto City, the pampered sons of the ministers were exhausted and finally returned to the prisoner camp in relief.

The night attack of the warriors in the city and the annihilation of the whole army were bad news for the Han army, but there was also good news, that is, the Taishan army did not attack the city today.

The Han troops at the head of the city could finally breathe.

As soon as people are idle, their minds are easy to think about the east and west, and all kinds of things before, such as the conditions of the Taishan army, their fierce offensive, their policy of dividing the fields and land, and even the news of the annihilation of the troops who left the city last night, were all connected at once.

The morale of the army at the head of the city was suddenly dissipated.

Now it is unclear whether Zheng Tai is alive or dead, so Zhu Jun can only let the tooth soldiers carry his Hu bed and take him to inspect the city wall.

Zhu Jun saw that the morale of the city was low, but he couldn't say anything with empty white teeth, so he could only let people carry him into the palace.

In the North Palace, the white-haired Zhu Jun looked at the also white-haired Liu Wei, and the two monarchs and ministers hugged each other and cried.

In the end, Zhu Jun told Liu Wei that the only way to do this was to let His Majesty climb the city tower to boost the morale of the army.

Liu Wei regained his senses and understood that the Han family was on his shoulders, so he did not retreat and retreat, but nodded in agreement.

On April 11, Liu Wei ascended the city to sacrifice the army, and in the next four days, the arrows and stones outside the city were all down, and he still took Tang Concubine to the north, west, south, and east city walls successively to comfort the officials on the head of the city.

He wore armor, his steps were heavy, and he took Concubine Tang, who was also not good at walking, and gave the cloth and food in the palace to the officials.

It was the first time that the officials of the bloody battle saw the Son of Heaven of the Han family, and they saw this very young but old Son of Heaven, and they had mixed emotions in their hearts.

It turns out that this is the Son of Heaven they guard, and it turns out that he also cares about us.

As a result, a kind of righteous heart of death for the king gradually rippled in the city.

People in this era have never been afraid of death, not because they have no fear of death, but because they will not live long in the first place.

In this life that has only been in a hurry for twenty or thirty years, what they care about is a spiritual value.

So, at this moment, everyone realized a grand mission.

They are going to die for the Han family, and if the Han family is doomed, then start with them, they are the martyrs of the Han Dynasty.

What an irony.

When those ministers who enjoyed the dividends of the Han family racked their brains and brazenly wanted to live, this group of military officials who had never been contaminated with the glory of the Han family chose to die for it.

At the head of the city, a group of military officials wept and knelt on the ground and kissed Liu Wei's boots, while Concubine Tang draped the woven military uniforms of the palace maids on them.

The officers bit their hands and wrote their names and the location of their families on these uniforms. When they write these messages, it means that they are fighting to the death, because it is about their own honor and that of their family.

Liu Wei was also crying, and he felt guilty for being moved by these people.

After waking up from his madness, Liu Wei is no longer the Liu Wei of the past, he is no longer condescending, but regards himself as an ordinary person, and therefore, he is aware of the weight of these people's inheritance.

He felt like he couldn't stand these people.

Liu Wei saw that a white-haired old soldier was also crying, so he asked:

"Old man, is it worth dying for the big man?"

The old pawn came out excitedly, he knelt and carefully kissed the soil under Liu Wei's boots, suppressed his excitement and said:

"I don't know, my grandfather died for the Han in the Western Regions, my father died for the Han in the Northern Xinjiang, and I am now dying in Kyoto for the Han, I hope my grandson can continue to die for the Han."

As he spoke, the old man trembled and kissed Liu Wei's boots again, this time the kiss was a little closer.

Listening to the old man's words, Liu Bian's heart was dripping blood, and suddenly he felt a cold on his face, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that it was a snowflake.

So, Liu Wei looked around, but saw countless snowflakes falling from the sky on the earth.

On this April day, it was snowing heavily.

Everyone froze, and then the city erupted in shouts.

And Liu Yu, the Zongzheng next to Liu Wei, also burst into tears, kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of the Taimiao:

"The sky is endless, my Han family is the country."
