The news that the 150,000 troops of the imperial court had collapsed like a mountain, that the rebels had crossed the Yushan Plain, and that the troops were approaching the city had spread throughout the city in less than half a day.

Now that the four gates are closed, the people of the city are almost going crazy.

Compared with the common people, the soldiers on the city wall also have a lot of pressure, they are not subordinate to the few flag-bearing armies in Gyeonggi, just ordinary soldiers, and now the pressure has fallen on them, everyone is patrolling and on duty at the moment, and they feel a little weak.

After all, Yanjing's elite was exhausted, and all of them were disabled, could they, ordinary soldiers, be stronger than the elite?

"Look...... Which army is this outside the city? ”

On the western city wall, as far as the eyes of the soldiers on duty, the dust and smoke drifting obliquely in the air could only appear in the shape of the smoke and dust splashed by the soldiers and horses.

The patrol soldiers who heard his words leaned against the wall, and when they looked up, their faces changed slightly, and someone hurriedly shouted: "Rebels! ”

Then he rushed to the city tower at the head of the city, and at a distance of two miles, he shouted dozens of times, and the guard who was sleeping there was awakened, and he hurriedly got up and went over to check.

Then, "Alas! The general asked the soldiers to ring the bronze bell of the message, "Ring the bell, the message, the rebels are coming!" ”

Boom!

Knock knock!

The bell of the alarm rang the city tower, and the people in the city who were already panicked were even more frightened at this time, running chaotically on the streets, Yanjing ordered Xu You to send officials to the streets to maintain order, and he also shouted loudly in the crowd, telling the people not to panic, and to go home quickly.

Half an hour had passed, and in the sight of everyone, miles away, dense horse teams rose and fell one after another in the smoke and dust, like a mighty tide.

"There are so many cavalry......"

The sound of hooves trampling on the earth can be heard clearly from miles apart, and a chill rises in the heart of the soldiers at the head of the city, however, soon, a long dragon of foot soldiers seems to have to come slowly from the side of the official road, and it is also a few miles away, and it has set down the horns, and at a glance, the black pressure is a piece, roughly sweeping, and there are tens of thousands of people.

Without waiting for everyone to discuss how the main force of the rebels would attack the city, several cavalry rushed from that side, stopped dozens of feet away from the city tower, and shouted to the city head: "The soldiers on the city tower will listen, we are the vanguard of the general's Xiliang army, General Dong asked me to wait for the word, you will stick to the duty of the city wall, after the city is broken, you will not be embarrassed!" ”

The other rider also shouted: "But the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and you are not a battle-hardened soldier, and on the day of the siege, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!" ”

There was a general on the city tower, and he was about to shoot a few horses with his bow, but he was stopped by his comrades on the side: "What are you doing?!" ”

"Kill these rebels!"

"What's the use of killing them? Really wait until the city is broken and the head is cut off?! The general who blocked him roared: "You and I can do our duty, why bother with the pawns!" ”

"Hahaha!" At this time, the horsemen under the city tower laughed, and one of them shouted to the top: "My brothers are used to seeing the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and they have long been out of the way of life and death, so why be afraid of the bow and arrow in your hand!" They feel that they can defend the city wall, but don't forget, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the front, and 150,000 in the back, all of them are defeated in our hands, Yanjing is already a lonely city, how many days can it be defended? The heads of your two commanders have been cut off, how can you compare yourself to them? ”

Finally, he shouted again: "The words of my general have been brought, I hope you will think about it!" Only then did the horsemen turn and gallop back to the distant army.

Soon, tens of thousands of horses and horses were encamped at a distance of five miles in the countless sights of the city, completely ignoring the soldiers and horses in the city as if they were nothing.

"Too much deception!"

A general slapped on the wall with hatred, wanting to take advantage of the other party's camp, go down to the city and lead the troops to rush to kill once, and turned to look at the rest of the generals halfway: "Why don't you stop me?!" ”

"You're going out to beg for death, what are we stopping you from doing?!"

Among the generals over there, one of them spoke: "There are only 20,000 available soldiers in the city, and their combat power is far inferior to that of Hu Ben and Long Xiang, they have all been defeated in such a tragic state, what is it that you take thousands of people out of the city, aren't you sending them to death?" ”

The guards of the West City Tower came over to play a round game, which resolved the embarrassment. As for how to defend the city, they still need to discuss, send these generals away, the sneer on the face of the city tower guard gradually subsided, and snorted at the back of their city wall.

Back at the wall, he looked at the rebels who were building a camp outside, and couldn't help but shudder.

……

The light of day crossed the city, and the figures were carrying timber to build a camp, erecting fences and gates, and where they passed, there were many figures standing still, and when they got closer, they were all straw men with sticks.

In the horse team returning from afar, Li Wei's voice sounded: "You run back and forth two more times to scare the soldiers and horses in the city." ”

As soon as the words fell, he separated from the horse team, rode his horse into the camp, and before he could stop, he jumped off his horse, walked straight to the tent that had just been erected, and strode in with the curtain lifted.

"Dong Gong, didn't you see that there are many soldiers and generals in the city gathered at the head of the city, and it is estimated that they are very frightened."

"Hehe, it's nature."

Dong Zhuo sat on the big chair with a big belly, holding a handkerchief and wiping the ring knife in his hand, "When the old man entered Luoyang, he already knew it, how can this be an exception now?" The 150,000-strong army was defeated, how could they not be frightened birds? ”

"Dong Gong is wise." Li Wei sat down on the side, poured a bowl of water into his belly, put the bowl aside with a rather gangster, and slapped his knees, "Then when will the city be attacked?" Taking advantage of the fact that those people behind did not come, we simply took the city gate, and this work is ours. Wait a minute, I'll do a divination and see which time is best! ”

"No witches, no witches, no more divination?"

Dong Zhuo threw it directly and inserted it between Li Dao's legs, and the ground shook slightly, so frightened that the latter almost jumped up.

Here, Dong Zhuo continued.

"We don't attack the city, the old man's indiscriminate trick should scare a lot of people."

"Dong Gong, I think your description is a bit inappropriate."

"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes.

Li Dao on the opposite side hurriedly closed his mouth and carefully put the ring head knife back on the desk, Dong Zhuo turned his gaze away: "The Xiliang army is full again, and there are only 10,000 people, it is really unwise to attack this Yanjing, my plan is a fool, and the soldiers in the city will be afraid, and someone will open the door tonight to surrender!" ”

Over there, Li Dao didn't go to correct Dong Zhuo's words, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Dong Gong is high!" ”

Listening to the flattering words, the old man nodded slightly and continued to wipe his weapon.

……

On May 23, the Xiliang army was accustomed to quickly regrouping, and then running long distances, and was ordered by Su Chen to advance quickly first, and by the way, the defeated troops found along the way were collected or killed.

The main force was still on the way out of Yushan Plain, about a hundred miles away from Yanjing, and some of the soldiers were left behind to take care of the wounded soldiers and prisoners.

During this period, some of the captives of Tiger Ben, Long Xiang, and Shibuya also joined in, after all, at this time, most people saw what the general trend was.

Most of these surrendered troops were added by Su Chen to the two armies of Bingzhou and Xiliang, while some Yanshan cavalry prisoners were incorporated into Lu Bu's command, and the captured war horses were enough to form a huge cavalry of 3,000 people.

And all the vacated war horses were handed over to Dong Zhuo to help carry weapons and armor to ensure that the speed of the march was accelerated.

At present, the main force is nearly 30,000, divided into battalions and advancing all over the mountains, and on the cart on the official road, Su Chen is signing some of the dead lists with his name.

"The ashes of the fallen must be preserved, the names must not be omitted, and after the capture of Yanjing, the bereavement of the family members will be directly deducted from the treasury of the palace."

"By the way, I want to erect a monument to mourn the heroic souls, engrave their names, and choose the best location for feng shui outside the city, and I want them to be worshiped by incense forever!"

“…… Don't let people forget. ”

Wu Zixun held several rosters with a solemn face, two of which were the names of the fallen soldiers, and there were more than 4,000 people.

"Go down, and do as I just said."

Su Chen put down his pen and ink, and asked Wu Zixun to return to the rear team with the casualty roster to keep, and then read the news since recently, especially about the soldiers and horses of the other two roads.

"It's slow...... Then I won't wait for you. ”

Whispering, he glanced at Dian Wei, who was walking on the side, who consciously walked to the front and asked the soldiers who were driving the car to go down, he stood up and took over the driving vehicle, but the speed of the car had obviously dropped a lot, and the tongues of the horses pulling the cart were about to spit out.

In the car, the Taoist priest lit a stick of incense with an expressionless face, handed it to Su Chen, walked outside with interest, and sat next to Dian Wei, Dian Wei turned his head to look at him, the Taoist still nodded expressionlessly, and then looked ahead.

In the carriage, long incense is inserted into the incense burner.

Su Chen counted the merits of the two big battles, and put aside the 20,000 of Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun, the remaining 40,000 directly became 140,000, which was enough for him to squander at will.

After all, in addition to attracting those unwilling generals, meritorious deeds can only unlock the emperor.

On the stepped offering table, with the light of the long incense, a venerable spirit seat woke up, probably knowing Su Chen's thoughts, and leaned forward one by one to tilt the spirit cards.

"Guys roll the dice!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed excitedly.

Han Gaozu's spiritual position also had an excited voice coming out: "This time I have a great credit, it's Ji's turn, right?" ”

"Your Han Wu Emperor Liu Che also has a lot of credit, do you want to give it to him?" Li Shimin did not give in to these predecessors who were emperors, "No one will regret the good dice roll, the old Zhu family is the most fierce and has the most no chance!" ”

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Xie watched with a smile on their faces.

"Fellow Ancestors, I'm about to start!"

Su Chen was a little excited in his heart just like playing card drawing in his previous life, he closed his eyes, but there was no voice from the three alternate emperors as in the past.

Rather, three clouds of mist were in front of him.

"Anyway, it's all a random one, great, I still have extra points, draw again." ’

Su Chen took a deep breath, and then his consciousness focused on the gray mist on his right.

The next moment.

The other two clouds of mist dimmed and disappeared, and he selected the mist to gradually drift away to reveal a spiritual position, and when he saw the handwriting engraved on it, it was revealed little by little, and when the word 'Tang' appeared, Su Chen's face was smiling.

Tang Taizong is stable!

However, the second one that is exposed is the word 'Xuan'.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

Su Chen opened his eyes suddenly, a seven-foot-3-inch shirt, dressed in a red and yellow robe, folded a headscarf, a nine-ring belt around his waist, and six-fold boots on his feet, his appearance was rich and upright, but he had a sincere and frightened expression, and before Su Chen could speak, he first bowed down to the spiritual seat on the offering table.

"The Emperor's great-grandfather...... I...... I don't know why......"

There was a clicking sound from Li Shimin's spiritual position, and Su Chen thought he was going to go crazy, but it took a long time before Li Shimin's faint voice sounded: "Forget it, since it's a dice roll, I am not a person who can't afford to lose, how can I blame you, and besides, you are also a member of the Li family, it is better than letting other emperors take it." ”

"Yes! Be! ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji bowed his hand again and again, and then looked at Su Chen, it seemed that Li Shimin was there, he couldn't take out the emperor's shelf, so he hurriedly took out three tokens and handed them to Su Chen.

"You take it first, and the next two Rong Zhen think about it."

After speaking, he arched his hand towards Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Xie, turned into a puff of smoke, and sank into the spirit card.

"Hehe, Brother Shimin, how can this son of heaven in your family be so afraid!" Zhu Yuanzhang probably read what Li Shimin said just now, and deliberately mocked.

Here, how could Su Chen have the heart to care about these two bickering.

Spread out the token in his hand, three tokens, two gold and one silver, the two gold were written "Taibai" and "Pei", and the silver token was written with a "jade ring"

"What is this for me?"

Too white?

Su Chen remembers it well, it should be Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, what can I do if I send a poet, I am rebelling and fighting!!

Who is 'Pei'?

Su Chen didn't have much of an impression, and both of them were still golden......

As for the last one, it should be Yang Yuhuan. Sure enough, it was the artist emperor who directly sent a concubine who could sing and dance.

Looking at the three tokens in his hand, Su Chen suddenly hesitated to summon them to take a look.
