This afternoon, many people in the Luyang Palace were anxiously waiting for the news that Liu Gon had brought back.

Back Garden

The queen knelt in the meditation room, looking at the Buddha statue with kind eyebrows and eyes above, her hands folded and prayed silently, some of her husband's plans, she knew it, and hoped that the reinforcements from various states could resist as soon as possible, and also hoped that the fierce soldiers and horses of Yan State would try not to rush to attack the city, and at the same time, she also thought that Liu Gon, who was in the military camp of Yan State, could bring back some good news.

However, soon, the envoy team had returned to Luyang, and the emperor, who was the first to learn the news, listened to the conditions put forward by Yan Jun, and he directly overturned the desk weighing more than 70 catties.

How can this be...... This shaft! It's too much of a deception—"

The loud shouting and scolding made Liu Gon dare not raise his head, and listened to the emperor's anger over there in horror, and the deputy envoys who came together, as well as several Shangshu and Yushi who were listening on the side, their eyelids were jumping.

They were indignant when they heard the conditions proposed by the Xia King, and the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and walked back and forth like an angry giant bear, his voice roaring in the study.

"Ceding the land of the three states?! I promised, my ancestors and ancestors would not agree, and neither would the civil and military forces of the entire hall! ”

"They're scared!"

The emperor ran in a rage, waving his hands and words full of killing intent that he had never seen before, and his beard was angry and his cheeks and eyes were flushed.

The fine flower porcelain shattered in his hand with a clatter.

"But it's a delay, the land of three states, hehe...... Even if it is broken, I will not give it up! ”

Bang!

Another flower porcelain was smashed and shattered.

"Let me recognize a little emperor who has not dried up as an uncle! Shame! Yan Guo'er, the insult is too great...... Ahem! ”

In a hurry, Zhao Chuanting roared hysterically, broke a lot of things, roared a few times, suddenly felt dizzy, coughed, stumbled a few steps back, and leaned on the shelf where the books were placed before stopping.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!"

Yuan Feng, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Your Majesty, why should you be angry with the other party!" ”

"That didn't embarrass you!"

"Your Majesty, it's not necessarily a good thing." At this time, Zhao Xusheng, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the ranks and said: "According to what Liu said, in the military camp of the Yan Kingdom, the horses and sheep were being slaughtered at this time, thinking that the big victory was in hand, since they are willing to talk, then continue to talk, after all, Your Majesty is just delaying time, and the other party is so cooperative, why is Your Majesty still angry?" ”

These words suddenly made Zhao Chuanting stunned for a moment, and the anger that had originally accumulated in his chest gradually dissipated, and he laughed out loud, "Yes, I am so confused, I almost fell for the treacherous trick of the Yan country child, causing the recurrence of the old disease, or Zhao Shangshu woke up, so it will be delayed, early tomorrow morning, Liu Qing will send Yan Jun again, take these two to argue with the other party, bargain, and try to drag it out for a few days!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Gon showed a trace of sorrow and promised it.

The army of Yan Kingdom is stationed outside the city, and it is not known when it will attack the city, and there is already a panic inside and outside the imperial city, in a small inconspicuous courtyard, Pei Min came back from outside and looked at a few of his subordinates waiting in the courtyard.

"I got in touch with An Lushan."

He said.

The night was like water, and the cicadas chirped one after another monotonously hissed on the old trees, and in the inner garden of the palace, the emperor who had already fallen asleep "Ah, don't!" With a loud scream, he woke up from the dragon bed and sat up.

The queen beside her also woke up, knowing that he was having a nightmare, and reached out to caress her husband's back.

"Your Majesty, it's all right...... Just a dream. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Chuanting nodded in a cold sweat, and when he came back to his senses, he got out of bed and stepped on his shoes to the table and poured cold water on it, and the queen took a single coat on the bedside shelf and put it on for him.

"Recently, things inside and outside the city have been complicated, and Your Majesty has too many things in his heart......"

Zhao Chuanting patted the hand she put on her shoulder, looked at a certain place in the room, and smiled reluctantly: "I pride myself on being proficient in military and politics, but now that I think about it, I am just a mediocre monarch who has not experienced strong winds and waves. ”

He paused, looked at the candle on the table, and his eyes were confused: "But I don't regret it!" ”

"Your Majesty......" The queen froze there, she didn't know why her husband said this.

"The courtiers outside are all called the king of the bear and the tiger, and I am a rare Ming monarch in the Great Wei Dynasty in a hundred years, hehe...... I have always listened to the words of flattery, but where is the bears and tigers, my hundreds of thousands of troops are all gone! Now there is only one Luyang left, and the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom are coming to the city, and I can't fake others anymore! ”

The Emperor clenched his fists, and the shaky table shook the candle flame.

"The city, I have to defend it!"

His words were convincing, word by word: "I personally protect the people in the city!" ”

……

The light of day passed with time, and the next morning, before the sky was bright, Liu Gon, who had left Luyang with the emperor's order, went to the Yanguo military camp again.

The carriage swayed, and he was thinking about the excuse of delaying the conditions in the carriage, and it would definitely not work to mess around, and he didn't want to use his neck to test the sharpness of the Xia King's sword.

'Can only be tactful, or...... Quoting the Scriptures...... No ......

At this moment, the soldier who was driving the car outside suddenly spoke, and his voice was panicked: "Envoy Liu, come out quickly!" ”

A group of soldiers guarding the carriage were also walking in a panic at this time, Liu Gon and the deputy envoy in the carriage glanced at each other, hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out, and there were a lot of running things that caught his eye.

"Ring ...... Alert! The leading junior shouted outside.

Surrounded by trampling ...... The sound of horses' hooves, a group of scouts from the north was coming from the north, there were hundreds of horsemen, but they didn't look at their convoy, and went straight over, running in the direction of Luyang.

"Envoy...... This...... What's going on? ”

Liu Gon pursed his lips and did not answer, he walked out of the carriage and looked north, and then, he felt a piercing chill climb up the back of his neck from his back, and his scalp was tense and numb in an instant.

In his field of vision, there were strange spires and wooden planks erected high, slowly appearing at the end of the junction of heaven and earth, gradually revealing a hideous silhouette under his eyes, which were two huge towers of nearly ten feet, and countless strong barbarians shirtless or wearing leather jackets were struggling to pass.

Passing them, countless banners also appeared in sight, and there was a faint sound of war drums.

"Go back...... Go back ......."

Liu Gon turned around and got into the car, and the moment he sat down, he yelled at the coachman who was still in a daze: "Let's go! Go back to Luyang! ”

The startled coachman waved his whip and drove the horses to turn around, and then, dragging the carriage all the way back to Luyang City, the scouts running around him did not embarrass him, but just observed the terrain, or ran farther away, recording the nearby terrain and whether there were any soldiers.

When the carriage rushed back to Luyang, it was already two o'clock.

In the palace, the emperor was in high spirits today, sitting on the throne and discussing all matters such as defense and security in the city with a group of civil and military generals.

"Liu Qing, are you back so soon?"

Not only Zhao Chuanting was surprised, but even Yuan Feng, Long Qiao and a group of civil and military officers were surprised that the other party was so fast, but without waiting for everyone to ask, Liu Gon held the door frame of the hall door, took a few breaths, and pointed outside.

"Your Majesty...... The Yan army is attacking the city! ”

The words fell, and the entire court was silent, the emperor, Yuan Feng, Long Qiao, Zhao Xusheng, etc...... A group of civil and military officers opened their mouths and were speechless for a long time.

……

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The rhythmic drum beat shook the heavens and the earth, and the dense figures stepped on the rhythm of the drum, forming dozens of arrays, across the entire field, like a black tide sweeping over.

The towering word 'Xia' is under the big Xu.

Su Chen stood on the ancestral carriage, accompanied by the voices of the emperors behind him, and he saw the capital of the hinterland of the Central Plains for the first time: Luyang.

"Pass the order!"

He slowly raised his hand, "Assemble the siege equipment and break the city in half a day!" ”

The words fell like no uncertain thing.
