Outside Chang'an City, Li Jing's army camp.

Everything was ready, Li Jing ordered a full-scale attack, and the artillery entered the position, ready to shell the city of Chang'an.

Looking at the black pressure outside the city, the defenders on Chang'an City panicked.

At this time when it was in full swing, Yue Yun came to Li Jing and said:

"Otsuka Zai, the soldiers of our army caught a fine work, saying that the nobles in the city sent him to deliver a letter and can help Otsuka Zai seize the city!"

Li Jing was expressionless when he heard this, with his strength, he still needs the help of the anti-bone boy in the city?

Directly bombarding the city wall with artillery, the army drove straight in, and it was not easy to take Chang'an City.

However, it is not bad to be able to take Chang'an City without blood!

There will be no casualties among their own soldiers, no destruction of the city, and no harm to the people, which is undoubtedly a good thing!

In the future, Datang belongs to him Li Jing, and Datang's subjects are naturally also his subjects, how can he let his subjects be harmed?

"Bring someone over and I'll see what he wants to say?"

Yue Yun received the order, turned around and beckoned into the distance, and two sergeants escorted a man in sackcloth clothes over.

"This is our Otsuka Zai, and when I see Otsuka Zai, I don't hurry up to salute!"

Yue Yun scolded.

The man hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "The villain has seen Otsuka Zai!"

"Who sent you? So what's going on? ”

Li Jing asked.

"My master's surname is Cui Yuanzong, and I am here to deliver a letter to Otsuka Jae on the orders of my master!"

The servant of the Cui family took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.

The guards on the side stepped forward to take it and turned around and handed it to Li Jing.

Cui Yuanzong, this is not the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty! The current Cui Yuanzong is not the prime minister, but a small outsider.

Li Jing took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, Cui Yuanzong said in the letter that after the leadership of the five surnames and seven wangs, he had united all the nobles in the city and reached an agreement that he was willing to help Li Jing seize Chang'an.

The premise is that their interests cannot be harmed, as for what they can't bear to live and so on, it's nonsense, and protecting their interests is the most important thing, which is why they will help Li Jing.

Li Jing naturally would not object to such a request, his current enemies were Wu Zetian and the Wu clan, and there was no conflict of interest with the aristocratic group headed by the five surnames and Qiwang.

As long as they can help him capture Chang'an without bloodshed, there is no reason not to accept it.

"Go back and tell your master, I agreed to his conditions, give him three days, if they can't take Wu Cao and the Wu clan after three days, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Yes, if Otsuka Jae says, the villain will definitely bring it!"

Cui Yuanzong's servant answered, and Li Jing asked Yue Yun to send him away.

As soon as Cui Yuanzong's servant got up, the first round of bombardment officially began, which frightened Cui Yuanzong's servant to paralyze all over his body, and the whole person fell to the ground, trembling all over!

Li Jing showed a look of disdain, and asked the herald to give the order, ordering the artillery to stop shelling Chang'an City.

Now there are soldiers who can take Chang'an City without blood, there is no need to waste artillery ammunition, besides, if the city wall is blown down, it will have to pay for repairs, there is no need to waste this money.

After sending Cui Yuanzong's servants away, Li Jing ordered the whole army to retreat three miles, wait for the nobles in the city to turn back, and then send troops to take Chang'an City!

Without the roar of the cannons, the defenders at the head of the city, coming out of their bunkers, burst into joy when they found the rebels retreating, and they thanked God for his protection.

After learning that the rebels had retreated three miles, the frightened nobles in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

The nobles, led by the five surnames and Qiwang, began to be active, and they tried their best to seize control of Chang'an City within three days.

Only in this way can they smoothly open the city gate and let in the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.

Chang'an City, Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Wu Zetian summoned Wu Sansi, Lou Shide and a few others to discuss why Li Jing didn't continue to attack, but suddenly retreated three miles?

Wu Zetian felt that this matter was very strange!

"The rebels outside the city suddenly retreated, what the hell is this Li Jing doing?"

Wu Zetian said coldly.

"God Emperor, powerful all over the world, how dare the traitor Li Jing ......"

The others pondered, and Wu Youzhi was the first to speak, and his mouth was a rainbow fart.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense anymore, now I just want to hear something useful!"

Wu Zetian was furious and scolded loudly.

Although the rainbow fart sounds comfortable, but now is the time of life and death, where is Wu Zetian still in the mood to listen to others slap her rainbow fart, she only needs to defeat the rebels now.

After being reprimanded, Wu Youzhi obediently retreated.

"I guess it's very likely that there is an internal response of the rebels in the city, and the reason why the rebels retreated is probably to reach some kind of ulterior agreement with the internal response in the city."

"The rebels will help the rebels seize Chang'an at a critical moment, and the rebels retreat is likely to paralyze us and let us relax our vigilance, the purpose of which is to make the city better move!"

Lou Shide said.

"What Lou Aiqing said is not unreasonable, do you have any other opinions?"

Wu Zetian asked, not ruling out the possibility of what Lou Shide said.

"God Emperor!" The cool official Zhou Xing hurriedly said: "The minister thinks that the five surnames and seven wangs, and the other nobles may be the internal response of the traitor Li Jing." ”

Wu Zetian looked back at Zhou Xing and said, "Why did Aiqing say this?" Why do you think this has something to do with the aristocracy? ”

"The nobles of the family have always had a lot of complaints about the God Emperor's rule of the world, and this time they have eliminated their people in the army, Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang, and they have had many contacts with the anti-thief Li Zhen and his son, Li Yuanliang and his son."

"Wei Xuantong is Pei Yan's friend, he privately discussed with others, the queen mother is old, or support the heir for a longer time."

"There are not a few nobles like Wei Xuantong who collude with traitors, please investigate these nobles thoroughly!"

Zhou Xing saluted and said.

Zhou Xing, who came from a humble background, was full of hatred for the aristocracy in his bones, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would immediately retaliate, and the methods were extremely cruel.

Wei Xuantong had offended Zhou Xing, and the narrow-minded Zhou Xing naturally would not let go of this great opportunity!

Regarding Zhou Xing's analysis, Wu Zetian knew in his heart that Zhou Xing took this opportunity to frame Wei Xuantong, but what did it matter, she had long seen that these nobles were unhappy for a long time.

Although Zhou Xing has the possibility of framing others, it cannot be ruled out that what Zhou Xing said is wrong, and who dares to guarantee that these nobles are not stumbling behind their backs.

"Zhou Xing, this matter will be handed over to you to investigate thoroughly, once it is found that the nobleman has a connection with the traitor, he will be executed immediately, since Wei Xuantong is so dissatisfied with me, let him cut himself!"

Wu Zetian said.

"The minister will not disappoint the high hopes of the God Emperor!"

Zhou Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and he could make a lot of money again!
