Chapter 124: Dong Taishi burns Yanjing
Looking at the silver token in his hand, Su Chen was really a little embarrassed.
Tang Xuanzong gave a poet just forget it, why did he get his concubine over?
Sure enough, every emperor is different, this one doesn't pull Wenwu, pulls a woman, is it because Ma Weipo felt guilty back then? Let a woman carry the black cauldron, so let her live again?
However, an emperor who was deaf in his later years could do this, and Su Chen would be able to figure it out.
It's just that what is this famous Yang Guifei doing now?
It's useless in the army, it's useless in the city, fill the harem? That's Tang Xuanzong's beloved concubine, Li Shimin's great-grandson's daughter-in-law, and that must not make a fuss.
"Everyone who comes here has his own secret art...... I can't say that Yang Yuhuan also has it. It's just that it's a bit of a waste to spend merit on her now. ”
Su Chen simply hung the silver token directly on the wall of the carriage and put it together with the token that had already been used. Then he turned his gaze to the two golden tokens of 'Taibai' and 'Pei'.
Li Bai ...... When I was a child, I didn't memorize your poems. I didn't expect to see a real person today. ”
At this time, Su Chen still had 80,000 meritorious deeds in his hand, and he still had extra points to move a golden token.
The ancestral car was still noisy, Su Chen closed his eyes, and while his exploits were rapidly decreasing, a gust of wind blew through the car curtain, and before he opened his eyes, a smell of wine came to his face.
Su Chen opened his eyes, a figure swayed in front of him, white robe and green shirt, white beard, his head slammed into the wall of the carriage during the shake, the white head slowly turned around, looked at Su Chen in front of him, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Yikes! Woohoo ......"
There was a bang, and he was stuck in the car, his hands and feet twitched twice, and he made a burst of snoring. The Taoist priest outside, as well as Dian Wei Qiqi, who was driving, poked their heads in, and saw the drunkard who was sleeping soundly with the smell of alcohol, and the two looked at Su Chen suspiciously.
"Dian Wei, take him down and hand him over to the soldiers behind him to carry on a stretcher."
When the carriage stopped, Dian Wei pulled out the curtain of the drunken and sleeping Li Bai with one hand, threw it directly on his shoulders, and jumped out of the carriage and walked to the back of the cart.
Su Chen looked at another token and hurriedly hung it on the wall of the carriage, this was the most shameless time he recruited heroes from all walks of life. Fortunately, Tang Xuanzong still has two tokens, so discuss with him when the time comes, don't get a mascot...... To use something, even if it is a person with medical skills and qualifications.
"It's really a blind opportunity, in the future, those small emperors, we still won't provide for them, in case I get An Lushan and Qin Hui, how to use it?"
"I have to think about those famous fierce generals, as well as the emperor above him, Li Cunxiao...... Who was his emperor at that time? ”
At this time, the sun is slightly skewed, the speed of the army is not slow, after half a day, it has gone out of more than fifty miles, it is not very far from Yanjing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's Bingzhou army has now begun to cut down trees around to prepare for camping, as for the siege equipment, the craftsmen on the side of Longyang have dismantled the siege tower, and the captured ghost crossbows and rushing cars are being transported over.
Looking into the distance, Su Chen walked out of the curtain of the car, isolating the chatter of the ancestors and ancestors in the car, he stood on the chariot and looked at the sky in the distance, the fields, woods and sky were intertwined.
All around, scouts came and went, running in all directions. Su Chen felt the impending siege, stood on the chariot and said with a smile: "You say, how many soldiers and horses are available for that emperor in the court?" forced my Su family to rebel, but thinking that he would be in today's situation, Yanjing's side should be in a mess right now. ”
Xiahou Yuan, Gao Shun and other staff officers and generals who were recuperating from their wounds did not answer.
The carriage shook slightly, Su Chen's feet were steady, his hands were behind the cloak, and he looked into the distance and whispered.
"Big brother, look, I'm also coming to Yanjing, this time I'll bring troops to avenge you!"
Nearly 40,000 Rongzhou soldiers and horses drove straight into Yanjing. At this time, Jin Ge's anger has not yet come, the atmosphere of urgency and fear has enveloped the entire Yanjing, and there has been a shortage of manpower in the city's government transfer, and many low-level officials, or middle-level officials, have quietly left, bribed the city gate soldiers, and fled with their families.
The rebel vanguard outside the city did not move, and there was an unusual atmosphere above the court, and some ministers went to the table, asking the emperor to send an envoy to talk, delay as much time as possible, or simply let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to block the mouth of the other party's Qingjun, but the emperor found a reason to prevaricate at will, and then there was no movement.
The atmosphere of dead silence became more and more solemn.
On the day when the rebel vanguard went to the village, Beigongye became gloomy and violent, he had long distrusted the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, even Xiao Wenbi, he didn't bother to ask the other party again, now the city was already in chaos, he also turned a blind eye, after all, Yanjing Ling couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stretch out his hand to the imperial city.
He just had a strong desire that the other two soldiers and horses heard that Yanjing was besieged by the rebels, so they could rush back as much as possible, and they should fight a turnaround battle with the inside and outside to regain the prestige of the Son of Heaven.
Lin Guangyuan and Li Jinchen supervised the soldiers and horses, and they still had soldiers available in their hands, and they were the most capable of fighting at the moment.
On this morning, he sent several fast horses in succession, and took the holy decree to the two battlefields on the east road and the south road, so that the two of them had led the troops back to Yanjing Qinwang as quickly as possible.
As the afternoon passed, night began to fall.
The dormitory was brightly lit, and the palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads one by one and did not dare to make a sound. On the square couch with a tent enclosed over there, Kitamiyano glanced at his son who was playing with a eunuch not far away.
After retracting his gaze, he drank the wine he had just poured in one gulp, and Queen Jiang on the other side knew that he was in a bad mood and continued to fill it for her husband.
"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, you might as well announce the Taishi into the palace to ask questions."
"Queen...... There are some things you don't understand, I sat in this position, only to find that people's hearts are unpredictable, I originally thought that they were mentors and friends, and would accompany me, but when I turned around, I found that this is not the case, they have all kinds of ideas in their hearts......"
"Why did Your Majesty say that?"
"Hehehe......" Beigong Ye turned the jade light cup in his hand in front of him, bare the luster of the water on it, his smile became hideous, and he gritted his teeth: "The queen still remembers Su Congfang's eldest son Su Yong?" Hehe, I asked the Taishi to kill him, but a few days ago, I realized that the man was still alive, and he was alive and well in the Taishi's mansion...... Master...... He didn't consider me his disciple at all...... I always thought he had a plan, but now that I think about it, why did these strategies fail? It's all because he did it on purpose, leading me to make mistakes step by step! ”
"This old dog!" The emperor crushed the jade cup, and the child who had just turned four was startled and cried out, and the eunuch who was playing with him hurriedly picked up the prince and teased him.
Empress Jiang glanced back, did not go over to see the child, but took a handkerchief to wipe the wine stains on her husband's hands: "Then Your Majesty...... What are you going to do? ”
"I have summoned the Taishi to the palace......"
Looking at the queen who wiped his palms for him, Bei Miyano smiled, "...... He also sent Che Jin to his mansion with his troops. ”
In the night, many things began to intertwine.
The fast horse galloped out, and came to the Taishi Mansion at two street corners, Xiao Wenbi was eating, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to see him, he did not hesitate, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and strode out.
In the darkness, downstairs at the city gate on the west side, someone hung a rope, slowly descended outside, glanced at the guards at the head of the city, turned around and ran wildly, and went into the distance.
In the distance, a lurking spy saw the running figure, pulled up his bow and arrows, and the man waved his hands and hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot, your own people!" I brought a message from my general, and came to surrender! ”
Soon after, the silent military camp became restless, Dong Zhuo galloped out on horseback in military uniform, laughed loudly, and pointed to the soldier guarding the city with a letter, "Lead the way!" ”
The soldiers in armor walked out of the tent, silently arrayed, and the six hundred flying bear troops roared on.
"Sons, follow me to explore the way!" Li Wei rode his horse first, and the six hundred flying bear army followed, and one of them caught the soldier who surrendered to Cheng on horseback and led him to the city gate.
Under the city tower where everything is as usual, the city gate that stands silently opens slowly with a squeak, and as soon as a gap is opened, a figure with armor squeezes out, waving to Li Dao and other six hundred horsemen here: "This general, quickly lead the troops into the city!" ”
Even though Li Dao, who had a rich battle formation, was no stranger to the sacrifice gate, he raised his palm when he met the guards who had to be cautious after all, and looked at the guards who surrendered to Cheng and the city gate that was gradually completely opened.
"Go to the two hundred horsemen and take control of the city gates."
After a while, in the queue behind, two hundred cavalry rushed to the city gate, they were somewhat apprehensive, but there was no rain of arrows under the city gate, and there was no shadow of ambush around.
The guardsman who surrendered to Cheng was also in place, looking at Li Dao with a sneer. At this moment, a voice shouted, and a patrol of hundreds of people saw this side and rushed over.
The first general is one of the few generals who have been on the tower during the day.
"Cao Lingchi, you sacrifice your door to the thief!"
The moment the general rushed with soldiers and horses, Li Dao waved his iron spear, "Kill!" The remaining four hundred horsemen, including the two hundred horsemen guarding the city gate, suddenly stepped on the sound of hooves, and directly crushed them according to the rushing group of foot soldiers.
The guard general named Cao Lingchi also pulled out his blade and shouted: "Open the door and dedicate the city, it is better than being a headless ghost defending the city, Zhu Erlang, follow the heavenly soldiers under the command of the general, and the side of the Qing monarch!" ”
Above and below the city, hundreds of soldiers under his direct command moved one after another, some held bows in the city tower, and some pulled the horses on both sides of the city gate to arrange defenses.
At the same time that the fierce battle unfolded on a street inside the city gate, the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers led by Dong Zhuo also arrived at this moment, and without any extra orders, they rushed directly into the city gate.
Arrows flew through the night, rockets landed on houses and trees, and the night wind sent fires to the sky.
The fire spread, illuminating the surrounding streets, and in the bright light of the fire, soldiers poured into the city.
The iron hooves of the long street roared, smashing into the intercepting team.
Smoke rose to the west of the city, and countless footsteps spread under the castle tower, and the generals leading the cavalry rushed into the crowd, swinging their spears sideways.
Standing on the tower, the former Taishi and the current commander of the army, raised the butcher's knife high, cut down the high-hanging Yan flag, and fell down this simple and majestic long wall.
At this moment, the chaos of the fight finally burned in the west corner of Yanjing.
