"Will!"

"Will!"

"Knock knock knock ......"

Outside the city of Hezhou, thousands of horses galloped, and the battle flag was like a burning black flame, hunting in the northwest crosswind.

"......"

Nearly 1,000 huge elephants trampled on the ground, their trunks raised high and they made a cry.

This is the elephant soldier of the barbarians.

At that time, when the Zhenxi army captured the barbarian king's tent, they captured a group of elephant soldiers.

In the rear of the elephant soldiers, the 100,000 Zhenxi army grew countless black pillboxes on the loess land, stretching to the end of the sky.

The drums were thunderous, and the army was awe-inspiring.

Among the 100,000 Zhenxi army, there are 30,000 light cavalry, 20,000 heavy cavalry, archers, infantry, shield soldiers... A total of 50,000.

This is the elite of the Zhenxi Army.

The people in the city heard the deafening sound of drums and military might, as if they had seen the heavenly soldiers descend to earth.

The general Xu Lie stood on Du Qingtian's left side with a dark gold double hammer, and Wu Shixian, the commander of the pro-army, stood on the right with a spear.

Gu Jing, the military advisor, held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand to shield the white-haired old man in a python robe in front of him from the sun.

After inspecting the military appearance, Du Qingtian pulled out the sword from his waist that had accompanied him in battle for decades.

Choke!

The long sword choked out of its sheath, and the sword pointed at the blue sky and white sun.

"All the troops are attacking!"

"Pull out!"

Xu Lie and Wu Shixian on the left and right also drank heavily.

"No." When the military order spread, the whole army should drink, and the sound shook the sky in unison.

"Knock knock—"

The drums of war resounded outside the city of Hezhou.

Zhenxiguan.

on the city walls.

Since the end of the military exercise in Zhenxihou in the Xuanyuan Plain, the soldiers in Zhenxi Pass finally don't have to worry all day long, and they don't dare to close their eyes when they sleep, and they can feel at ease.

Around noon.

There is still a quarter of an hour left before the shift change.

The two defenders leaned against the city wall, nibbling on the bun that could break their teeth with the water bladder in their hands.

The taller soldier swept left and right, and seeing that the commander was not there, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I haven't been paid for three months, and there is no oil and water in this ghost place, if this continues, when will Lao Tzu be able to save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law."

"You're okay, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, my family of five, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy to me a year ago, the family is already poor, and now there is no food, I don't know if they can survive......" Another soldier also complained.

Alas, the two sighed at the same time, and the tall soldier continued, "Have you heard that there is a rebellion in the Northland, and even the prefect has been killed by traitors, and I don't know if the rebellion has been quelled now?"

"Hey, I haven't heard of it, when did it happen?"

"Just last month, there was a drought in the Northland, and there was no rain in several states, and there was no harvest."

Knock knock knock......

There was a time when the two of them didn't have a word of small talk.

The tall soldier felt a jolt under him, and wondered, "What's going on? The earth moved?"

"It seems to be...... The sound of horses' hooves ......"

The two stood up and looked out of the city, and in an instant, their eyes widened, and they saw the skyline in the distance, and a black shadow quickly approached Zhenxi Pass.

"Oh my God!"

The two of them were suddenly creepy.

The shadow of that black oppression is the dust raised by I don't know how many people and horses.

"Dangdangdang......

"Enemy Attack, Enemy Attack......

Soon, many defenders on the city wall also discovered this scene and immediately rang the gong.

Taishi Pang Tong, who had just finished going to the thatched house, rushed to the city wall while tying his belt, and when he arrived at the city wall, the scene in front of him made his legs a little weak.

"Will!"

"Will!"

"Will!"

The earth-shattering shouts came from afar, more and more, until the whole world

Only this one voice remained.

The sand and rocks on the earth were shaking.

The 100,000-strong army swept through the dust and smoke raised by the large belt to obscure the sky and the sun, and the black battle flags hunted in the wind, like a reminder.

Pang Tong's face turned pale: "Elephant soldiers, heavy cavalry...... There are also siege equipment, this is not a military exercise, it's over. Someone came, and quickly notified the Jingshi, saying that the army of Zhenxi Hou knocked on the pass, which was suspected to be ...... ...... be opposed."

September 22nd.

Chu Jinnan was in the early dynasty, discussing with the ministers who to send to the north to quell the rebellion.

At this moment, outside the main hall, a cheer sounded.

The eunuch standing at the bottom left of the dragon chair was about to shout, "Who is making a noise?"

A soldier ran into the Golden Palace: "Your Majesty, the Western Boundary is urgent, Dening County is mainly married to the traitor Chen Mo. The Zhenxi army knocked on the pass, carrying siege equipment, suspected ...... ...... be opposed."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court instantly fell silent, and the falling needles could be heard.

"Impossible..."

"I knew that Zhenxi Hou would rebel sooner or later, and it was so..."

"Zhenxihou, is this crazy?"

"Why did Zhenxihou rebel ......at this time?"

After a short silence, there was an uproar in the hall, some courtiers were angry and scolded Zhenxi Hou, some people's faces changed greatly, and some people said that they were suspected of reversing, this is the opposite......

Chu Jinnan on the dragon chair was also shocked fiercely, frowning, and seemed to be stunned.

As for the truth of the matter, Chu Jinnan did not doubt it.

Above the Golden Palace, such a solemn place, no one dares to die, nonsense.

Just when Chu Jinnan was about to discuss with the ministers what to do.

A eunuch hurriedly ran in from the side of the Golden Palace, came to the side of the celebrant eunuch at the bottom left of the dragon chair, and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, the whole person's face changed, and his pupils instantly dilated a lot, and he was much more shocked than when he heard the rebellion of Zhenxi Hou, and hurriedly trotted to Chu Jinnan's side, wanting to whisper to him.

However, Chu Jinnan didn't think that anything could be bigger than the rebellion of Zhenxi Hou, so he asked the celebrant and eunuch to say it in front of all the ministers, so that they could discuss it together.

The celebrant eunuch's face changed, and he hesitated.

"If I tell you to say it, you will say it boldly." Chu Jinnan was already on fire in his stomach because of the affairs of Beidi and Zhenxihou, and when he saw that the eunuch who was still waiting, he couldn't help but scold.

Since Wang Ying's incident, the status of the eunuchs in the palace has taken a sharp turn for the worse, even if they are the eunuchs with the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, they have no power in their hands, they can't interfere in politics, and their status is not as good as before.

As soon as Chu Jinnan drank it, the celebrant and eunuch immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty... Oh no, there are rumors in the market that ... Say goodbye! The assassination of Empress Qingguan ......"

"Shut up." Chu Jinnan felt that something was wrong when he heard this, so he hurriedly scolded and told the celebrant and eunuch to shut up.

After urgently retreating, Luo Yuansheng was summoned.

Longxi, Qiao's family.

The "rebellion" of the Marquis of Zhenxi and the imminent marriage of Chen Mo with the lord of Dening County, the Qiao family knew before the imperial court.

Qiao Yiyang hurriedly summoned the descendants of the clan to come to the discussion.

"The rebellion in the north, Zhenxi Hou knew that Chen Mo was a traitor, and married the county lord of Dening to him, and also suppressed Zhenxi Hou, the rebellion is undoubted, there is a tiger eyeing the Southern Zhou outside, and the old man smells a trace of the mansion about to collapse..."
