The wind blew through the burning wooden buildings, sparks floated in the night, the movement of the fighting resounded sporadically in a corner of the city, and the cries of the people gradually stopped, and they were driven by bloodstained soldiers to fight the fire in the streets.

It was the second half of the night.

Silver chain mail, with a cloak behind his back stroking slightly, Su Chen stood in front of the ancestral carriage with his hands on his back, and looked indifferently at the imperial city at the end of the Vermilion Bird Avenue in the distance.

"The first time I came to Yanjing, I didn't expect it to be such a scene, everyone, I haven't seen what the palace is like, have you seen it?"

With the words, the wind that blew through the night suddenly became violent, and the hem and cloak flew hunting. Su Chen restrained his demeanor, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and tried his best to maintain a flat and indifferent look, like a king overlooking the world, and the demeanor of Ding'an City in the past was gradually lost in him.

On the imperial city in the distance, the soldiers and armor soldiers of the imperial city holding torches walked around on it, and from time to time there was a sound of scolding, as the soldiers of the center of the Yan Kingdom, they never thought that one day, they would face the moment of defending the city.

Che Jin stood at the head of the city, looking at the flames in the city, in addition to the people who participated in the firefighting, there were rebels, some of them helped the people put out the fire, clean up the mess on the street, and more were outside the imperial city, intensively forming siege equipment.

He remembered the slap he had received earlier, and his cheeks still ached faintly.

Late night faded by.

On Suzaku Avenue, on the streets around the military formation, Su Chen looked at the city wall, and most of the generals gathered around him, such as Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Xiahou Yuan, were also silently watching all this.

In the afterglow, the first rays of morning light cut through the clouds, and Su Chen slowly raised his hand.

"....... the soldiers are tired until now, so they will take the imperial city in one go!"

The herald waiting near the cart stepped forward to wait for the order, Su Chen raised his hand and slowly clenched it into a fist: "It's just a city wall, and the herald army of Zhang Liao-"

He narrowed his eyes and pressed his fist down: "-Siege!" ”

In an instant, the herald rushed outside and blew the horn.

In the military formation on the right side of Suzaku Avenue, Zhang Liao heard the horn of the attack, and ordered the cavalry to gallop to each battalion in the army, and some of the soldiers and soldiers walked out of the queue to bring back the ladder made by the craftsmen.

The infantry shield stepped forward and set up a large shield within the range of the arrows in the city, and more than a thousand archers stood behind them, holding their bows and arrows and aiming at the city in unison.

The atmosphere of war instantly filled the city.

Behind the battlements, the imperial city armor soldiers and archers guarding the city wall looked at the soldiers and horses outside the wall in fear, and a captain in iron armor walked to watch the movements of the rebels, and shouted loudly: "Ready!" Then, he turned around and looked at the commander in front of the Imperial Tower, who was holding his sword and saying nothing.

Seeing that the order had not yet been delivered, several lieutenant generals were also anxious and rushed to the side of the city tower.

"Commander, the rebels are about to attack the city......"

Che Jin looked at the avenue outside the city and the big car under the banner, and he said softly, "Open the city gate." ”

"Hey, we're ready for war!"

Several people raised their hands and arched, and just turned around, they suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned back: "Commander, what did you just say?" ”

"Open the city gate, don't fight!"

Che Jin retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on these henchmen, "You are all my brothers, I don't want everyone to die here, what is Your Majesty like, you are more or less clear in your hearts, poison the first emperor...... Suppression of old ministers...... Arbitrary, bold but not calculating, scheming but not strategic...... With such a king, how can we take our lives to accompany us? ”

"I can't be the kind of foolish loyalty of Guo Xin, Xu You, Wang Chengwu and others...... So, open the gates. He closed his eyes, then opened them again: "I'll welcome the general into the palace!" ”

"Yes!" The generals bowed their hands.

Outside the imperial city, the final preparations for the siege have been completed, Zhang Liao is riding on horseback, talking to Guan Yu, fighting together for two days, there is only one chance.

"Liao, fighting hand in hand with Yun Chang like this, it seems that only the white horse defeated Yan Liang back then, right?" Zhang Liao stroked the mane of the war horse and said with a smile: "That time, when Cao Gong was at the time of life and death, fortunately, Yun Chang quickly stabbed the horse and slaughtered the fighter. ”

"Hehe, if there is no Wenyuan and Gongming, how can Guan be so relaxed." Talking to his friends, Guan Yu rarely showed a comfortable look, which made Zhang Fei on the other side snort, "Second brother has never laughed like this when he talks to me!" ”

He was about to stir up two sentences loudly, when the tiger's eyes suddenly glared, pulled the reins, urged him to take a few steps forward, and pointed to the imperial city: "Second brother, look at the city wall!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao followed the direction he pointed, and the banner of Yan Kingdom, which was originally standing in front of the city tower, suddenly lowered and threw it out of the wall, and someone in the city shouted: "The commander of the imperial city, Che Jin, is unwilling to fight with the heavenly soldiers, and welcomes the general into the palace!" ”

The words fell, and the closed city gate under the city tower slowly opened inward with a heavy sound at this moment.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and didn't move, "Could there be fraud?!" ”

"Order the soldiers in front to put down the ladder and immediately go to control the city gate, and order Niu Gai to carry the department, immediately enter the imperial city, guard the city tower, and let the soldiers and horses of the surrounding imperial cities put down their weapons and take off their armor, quickly!"

Zhang Liao didn't dare to be careless, but he wouldn't let go of this opportunity, when the herald galloped up, Zhang Fei left with him, he had a hot temperament, and directly jumped his horse to follow the queue in front of him and rushed to the city gate.

Warning arrows flew into the sky.

In the array behind the Bingzhou army, Su Chen raised his head to look at the sky where the alarm came, and then his eyes fell on the Bingzhou army in front, the military array was already operating nervously at this time, he immediately stepped off the cart, and did not send an order to ride over to ask, and the Bingzhou army had already rushed to the fast horse, and stopped in front of him.

Su Chen looked at him, and the surrounding generals also looked at this scout: "What's the matter!" Why did you shoot an arrow all of a sudden? ”

"Back to the general, the imperial city has opened the door and surrendered, General Zhang Pegasus went over to control the city gate, and General Niu also entered the imperial city at this moment......"

"Order, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and the wolf rider will enter the palace first, and the blockers will directly crush them!"

Su Chen turned around and returned to the car, raised his hand and waved, and his voice rang out: "Everyone prepare, follow me, enter the imperial city, enter the palace!" Let's look at the Son of Heaven—"

He opened his mouth and showed Bai Sensen's teeth: "What a frightened look!" ”

The trumpet sounded.

Soon after, 3,000 cavalry rushed into the imperial city with thunder, and groups of cavalry galloped across the palace road, followed by the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army swarming in.

"Haha, the palace, the old man is back again!" Dong Zhuo crossed the soldiers one by one, looking at the main halls and buildings within the palace walls, as if he had returned to the feeling of leading the troops into the Luoyang Palace.

"Li Dao, hurry up and go first, lead the soldiers to seal the inner courtyard and the back garden, don't let the soldiers break indiscriminately, and search the corner of the secret door, don't let the son of heaven run away, the harem concubines are also taken care of."

"Dong Gong, don't worry, you're familiar!"

Li Wei smiled evilly, the feeling of the year was back, this palace inner garden was almost the same, he led the six hundred flying bear army almost familiar through the palace.

At this time, the three thousand wolf riders swept the road between every palace and attic in the palace like a tide, and the palace maids and eunuchs were frightened by this sudden cavalry and shouted and scurried, and the guards in the palace guarded everywhere, and the two armies of Bingzhou and Xiliang who advanced over were killed together.

……

In the dormitory of the back garden, the three-foot white silk was held by the eunuch and walked behind the Jiang family, he looked at the queen who had served for many years, old tears fell, and his voice choked up: "Queen, don't complain about Your Majesty, he is a gentleman, and he is always worried." After the old slave sent the queen and the prince, he also came to serve. ”

Empress Jiang looked at the bronze mirror, her eyes were red, and she squeezed out a gentle smile.

"I don't blame him, save your majesty a worry, as a queen, what you should do, it's ...... Shu'er, I still hope that you and my master and servant will quietly hide the past, Shu'er is still young, he hasn't seen the world in this world, he hasn't seen ......",

"The old slave understands, the old slave understands!"

The old eunuch cried, tremblingly took the white silk on the tray and slowly stepped forward, putting it on the neck of the beautiful jade man.

"Don't worry, the queen will leave the ...... after you go."

Outside the dormitory, the sound of hooves was loud, and a rough shout rang out: "This is the dormitory, rush in!" ”

The old eunuch who strangled the queen turned his head, the door in his field of vision exploded open, and a war horse jumped into the dormitory, anxiously stepping on the iron hooves, and the knight above pulled out his blade and pointed this way.

"Eunuch, let go of the Empress of Yanguo!"

In a moment, the Flying Bear soldiers poured in!

……

The moment the tide of fighting spread from the front palace, outside the meditation hall on the other side of the back garden, Beigong Ye was wearing armor all over his body, and a sword with a gold-patterned scabbard on his waist, leading a team of palace guards to stride into the hall.

He slapped a scroll in his hand on the table, and sat down with a golden knife across from the old man.

"Master, the palace can't be guarded, I may be about to sit at the end of this day, you have always wanted this "General's Night Banquet Picture", I put it here, you can take it, but we have some things, it should be clear."

The old man seemed to have expected it, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, how do you know?"

Beigongye's face was haggard, his mouth was full of shallow scum, he stared at Xiao Wenbi opposite, and said one sentence at a time: "Someone told me about the news, he said...... Su Yong is not dead. ”

The old man's expression sank.
