However, judging from the current situation, these four main generals have not shown any anomalies. Just when Ji Xuan wanted to continue to ask, Ah Niu hurriedly came with Qi Wu to report that something had happened in Beiying.

When everyone in the room heard the news, they jumped up from their chairs in surprise almost at the same time.

Pang Hong saw Qi Wu behind Ah Niu, and without waiting for Ji Xuan to speak first, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Qi Wu rushed to the East Palace, and ran all the way with Ah Niu to see Ji Xuan and the others, he was already out of breath, and after he calmed down a little, he told everyone what happened at the North Gate in the most concise and clear words.

Pang Hong scolded hatefully after hearing this, then turned to Ji Xuan and knelt down to bow deeply, and said: "The last general will use people to neglect, the crime deserves death, please Your Highness to punish the crime!"

Ji Xuan stepped forward to help Pang Hong and said, "How can this be blamed on the general? The most important thing now is to prevent Sun He from joining forces with the rebels, and open the north gate to let the rebels enter the city." ”

Pang Hong said: "As long as the last general returns to Beiying, he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation and let their tricks fail." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Okay, without further ado, General Pang will return to Beiying now, and the palace is waiting for your good news." Ah Niu," Ji Xuan looked at Ah Niu and said, "You take the token of the main palace to go to the north camp with General Pang, assist General Pang to quell the chaos together, and then guard the north gate steadily." ”

Ah Niu responded yes.

After Pang Hong saluted, they left the East Palace together and hurried to the north gate.

The north gate has been in turmoil, indicating that the rebels are near, and the first to attack will be the north gate, so in order to cooperate with the rebels, the city may also be uneasy, so now it is necessary to immediately control the capital according to Pang Hong's proposal.

The crisis was imminent, and Ji Xuan didn't care about continuing to screen, he asked the other three generals to leave the East Palace immediately and return to the camp, acting according to the plan discussed before. However, just like letting Ah Niu follow Pang Hong, when the three of them left, he asked the people from the East Palace to leave together.

Lin Yuan also left with these people, his current burden is also very heavy, he needs to immediately gather the two thousand soldiers drawn from the east and west battalions, and then lay a net in the capital to prevent changes.

Waiting for the cabinet ministers to be left in the room, Ji Xuan asked Zheng Tai to go out of Beijing with a military talisman, and his task was to observe the situation in the capital and find out, and then decide whether to mobilize the guards of the nearby state capital into Beijing.

"Master Fan, I wonder if you can tell if these people are abnormal?"

Ji Xuan and all the other people who needed to leave left, and all the things that needed to be explained were explained, and asked Fan Changyun, who was still in the East Palace, "What King Cheng did, there must be his comrades in the forbidden army, and some of the four battalion masters should be attached to him." ”

Fan Changyun thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness's analysis makes sense, but judging from the performance of the four of them just now, it is difficult to determine who has attached themselves to King Cheng. ”

Ji Xuan nodded, "This palace asked them to come here, firstly, to discuss countermeasures, and secondly, to analyze everyone's position through their words and deeds. But now it seems that they are more difficult to deal with than Hongu thought. ”

Fan Changyun said: "If it is a fox, its tail will be exposed, and they will immediately reveal their original form." ”

Ji Xuan nodded......

......

Shen Yue and Sun He's combat power is almost equal, plus the two have worked together for many years, they know each other very well, and they still have a draw after fighting for a long time.

Although it was a draw, the mood of the two was very different.

Shen Yue is very satisfied with the current situation, even if he can't capture Sun He, but Sun He can't help him, as long as this stalemate continues, when Qi Wu sends the news to the East Palace, Pang Hong will rush back with reinforcements, and then Sun He's plan will fall through.

On the contrary, Sun He was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation, and his heart was also very anxious, he needed to take control of the city gate before Qi Wu rushed back with reinforcements, and then open the city gate to let Xiang Cheng's army into the city when they arrived. Even if Xiang Chengjun did not arrive at that time, he would have set fire to the city gates. However, at the moment, it seems that this plan will be difficult to achieve.

In addition to being anxious, Sun He was more angry in his heart. In his plan, it was easy for him, who happened to be on duty tonight, to open the city gate and let Cheng Jun enter the city, and he was ready. But he suddenly received an order to kill the spies sent by the East Palace. Originally, it didn't matter if he wanted to kill these two spies, but now that the main general Pang Hong is not there, he is the general on duty, and he can give orders at will.

However, what he didn't expect was that Shen Yue was so careful that he would come to check on his intentions in mobilizing archers, so his plan was disrupted. In fact, it doesn't matter if the plan is disrupted, as long as Shen Yue and his subordinates can be killed, the city gate can still be easily opened. But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't take Shen Yue for a while, and his subordinates also didn't take down Shen Yue's subordinates, their number was twice as many as the other party!

"You waste, so many people can't help them!"

Sun He scolded angrily, he wanted to inspire his subordinates to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths through angry scolding.

Sun He's subordinates couldn't help Shen Yue's subordinates not only because they were afraid of death, but also because of the venue, so they couldn't give full play to their numerical advantages, plus there were more than a dozen archers, and now that the two sides were entangled together, they were useless at all.

With Sun He's scolding, his subordinates obviously stepped up their offensive, forcing Shen Yue's subordinates to retreat down the stairs. It was this retreat that exposed several people behind Shen Yue's subordinate team to Sun He's archers' shooting range, and the archers led by them were quick to shoot arrows with bows.

The men had just retreated, and their footing was unsteady, and they were not prepared for this sudden attack, and they were all struck by the arrows, or killed or wounded.

This sudden change suddenly made Shen Yue's subordinates confused, Sun He's subordinates took the opportunity to attack, coupled with their condescending, forcing Shen Yue's subordinates to occupy and retreat, and retreated step by step along the stairs to the city tower.

According to the normal subordinates, there were twenty soldiers guarding the city gate at night, but ten of the people on duty tonight were Sun He's men, and now these ten people were fighting with Shen Yue's people. The remaining ten people ran out to check the situation in the early days of the battle between the two sides, and were ordered by Shen Yue to go back to guard the city gate.

After Shen Yue's subordinates were forced to retreat to the city tower, they did not retreat again, but stood at the entrance of the staircase, desperately blocking Sun He's subordinates on the stairs, but in this way they were completely exposed to the attacks of the archers.

Shen Yue was fighting with Sun He while paying attention to the situation of his subordinates, and now seeing that they were in critical condition, he immediately shouted: "You all go to the city gate and guard the city gate with those ten people." ”

When these people heard this, they fought and retreated, covering each other and retreating to the gate of the city. But just as they were about to approach the gates, the ten men guarding the gates immediately raised their spears and pointed them at them.

"If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame us for not remembering brotherhood. ”

Shen Yue let the order of the ten people to guard the city gate know to everyone, but he asked his subordinates to retreat to the city gate, but the ten people guarding the city gate did not hear it, so when they saw someone approaching the city gate, they immediately became vigilant.

One of Shen Yue's subordinates said, "It was General Shen who asked us to retreat to help you guard the city gate. ”

"We didn't hear this order from General Shen, so you can't approach the city gate. ”

"You ......"

As the two sides were talking, Sun He's dozen archers fired a dense wave of arrows at them.

Although Shen Yue's subordinates tried their best to resist, someone was still shot. The worst were the ten men guarding the gates, all of whom had spears in their hands, and with the lack of defense, six or seven of them were shot.

After the arrow, Sun He's subordinates slammed into the city gate, suppressing Shen Yue's subordinates at once.
