Chapter 104: The Imperial City Fights

Wang Shichong, together with Kou Zhong and a group of generals and famous masters, flew on horseback, passed through the imperial city under the escort of nearly a thousand guards, and galloped towards the palace city in the north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Along the way, there were soldiers with distinct armor, showing that the control of the imperial city had all fallen into the hands of Wang Shichong's army. The imperial city is surrounded by nine miles, and there are palace gates on all sides. Then the gate of heaven is located in the middle of the south wall, the south is opposite to the end gate, the north is facing the Xuanwu gate, and the main gate of the central hall runs through a central axis.

Under the roar of hooves, the entire imperial city seemed to shake. Kou Zhongce rode to the left of Wang Shichong, and on the other side was Ouyang Xiyi, and in front of him was led by Lang Feng with thirty horsemen to open the way, and the momentum was immense.

Then the gate of heaven has been clearly visible at this time, the door is divided into two layers, up to 20 steps deep, the left and right are connected, the city wall of about 18 steps wide is connected, the city pass is as high as 12 zhang, the weather is solemn and solemn, it is daunting.

At this time, the middle door of the gate of heaven was wide open, but even the shadow of half of the doorman could not be seen.

Wang Shichong's demeanor was calm, and while riding, he said to Kou Zhong: "Then there is still Yongtai Gate in Tianmen, and then there is the main hall Qianyang Palace, which is specially designed for holding ceremonies and receiving foreign envoys. Yang Tong, that guy usually never goes there. Kou Zhongqi said: "Why aren't any of the guards in Miyagi missing?"

I don't know who said later: "I was scared away." But no one laughed at it.

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "The Praetorian Guards under Dugu Feng are divided into Yi Guard, Cavalry Guard, Martial Guard, Tun Guard, Imperial Guard, Hou Guard, etc., a total of 12 guards, each guard is about 500 people, and the total strength is more than 5,000, and the strength cannot be taken lightly. There is a strong city to defend, with the character of Dugufeng, we will never retreat without a fight, we must be careful. Everyone responded with a bang, and the sound shook the imperial city.

In an instant, the vanguard had arrived in front of the gate of heaven, and when they were about to drive straight forward, one of them stepped out of the door with a hand, and laughed: "Lord Shangshu is so attacking the imperial city, I don't know what is going on. ā€

Kou Zhong looked at it, and couldn't help but secretly think that his son must have his father. This person looks at least seven points similar to Dugu Ce, and his age looks like he is only a few years old, so he is still extremely handsome, but looking at his grandeur, anyone can deduce that he is Dugu Feng, the lord of the Dugu Valve.

He was a man who could tell at a glance that he was extremely ambitious, and that he would not tolerate anything when it came to destroying others.

Although he was smiling, he always had a murderous look, medium build, but he had an air that showed extraordinary ability.

At this time, his pair of sharp eyes, which were in stark contrast to the eagle's hooked nose and the resolute corners of his mouth, moved from Wang Shichong to Kou Zhong, Kou Zhongli felt a heat on his face, and he knew that Dugu Feng was worthy of the master of the Duhu Valve, and his skill was by no means below the masters of Du Fuwei and Li Mi.

Everyone stopped their horses, and the pioneers in front scattered them to both sides, so that the master could talk to each other without barriers.

Wang Shichong laughed and said: "Dugu is serious, recently there has been a lot of rumors, I heard that there are many people who want to take the head of my Wang Shichong, and I Wang Shichong has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, so I have to be protected by the central people when I go in and out, so I will bring a few more people; Brother Wan Wangfeng should not block the palace gate, let me enter the palace to meet the emperor and the lord of the army, otherwise it may make Wang suspect that Brother Feng has instigated a mutiny, coerced the lord of the emperor, and forced me to wave the army to attack the city, which will not be of any benefit to everyone at that time! Only then did Kou Zhong know that Wang Shichong was powerful, and his words were even eliminated, and it was difficult for anyone to parry.

However, Dugufeng is not a good man and a woman, just look at him blocking the palace gate alone, posing in an unpredictable pattern, you can see it.

Sure enough, Dugu Feng took a step forward, and said with a good smile: "Brother Shichong's desire to add sin is really powerful, how can Dugu Feng afford it." The funniest thing is that I Dugufeng was sincere, and I saw that Lord Shangshu suddenly returned to the court, so I came to greet you, how do you know that you misunderstood Zheng Guogong. In his words, he changed three names from "Brother Shichong", "Lord Shangshu" to "Zheng Guogong", of course, there is no sincerity at all, and there is a kind of mentality that makes people elusive, and sneering, not looking at Wang Shichong in his eyes.

Kou Zhong smiled dumbly and said: "Since you are here to greet you, why didn't the Dugu Governor say that Lord Shangshu returned to the dynasty earlier, but said that the soldiers were forcing Miyagi, but now he has come to change his words?" Dugu Feng glanced at Kou Zhong with contempt, and said with a sympathetic smile: "This young brother has a very good face, I don't know when he became the spokesman of Lord Shangshu?" Wang Shichong was also powerful, and said indifferently: " Mr. Kou Zhong, who has not yet introduced me to the chief manager, who has been hired back with a lot of money, when my Wang Shichong is not there, the affairs of Luoyang will be handed over to him, and you will be more affectionate in the future!" This time, even Wang Shichong's Lang Feng and others were shaken, and they didn't expect Wang Shichong to value Kou Zhong so much.

Dugu Feng was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Although Lord Shangshu has the right to select and appoint talents, but such an important position, you should..." Wang Shichong cut him off and said: "This is one of the reasons why this official wants to see the emperor, does Dugu still want to block the palace gate?" Dugu Feng laughed and said: "How could it be! How could it be! Lord Shangshu please!" He retreated to the door and made an exaggerated gesture of respectfully inviting inward.

Wang Shichong and Kou Zhong looked at each other in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.

The deep gates of the city are like bottomless pits that can swallow anyone who breaks in.

Ouyang Xiyi smiled, patted his horse and said: "Let the old man be a pawn!" Kou Zhong hurriedly leaned over to Wang Shichong and said, "Breaking through is the next strategy!"

Wang Shichong couldn't make up his mind, and when he heard this, he hurriedly delayed the time with a burst of laughter, and when everyone's attention returned to him from Ouyang Xiyi, he pretended to be ready and said: "It seems that the time is still early, the emperor should not have left his dragon bed yet, and the official will come back later!"

Wang Shichong rode slowly towards his official office, and asked Kou Zhong with a frown: "If he is setting up an empty city plan, wouldn't it make the world laugh if we retreat without a fight." Ouyang Xiyi on the other side, Lang Feng and Song Mengqiu in the back all showed expressions of agreement.

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "If we really attack Miyagi with our army, there are only two possibilities, one is to break through the city, and the other is to suffer heavy casualties and can't hold on. And whatever possibility is not good for us. Because we are not here, as long as we can defeat Li Mi, we are afraid that Yang Tong and Dugu Feng will not give in obediently. Just now, as long as you see Dugufeng's fearless posture, you can know that he has Li Mi behind him, and he is not afraid of our strong attack at all. Ouyang Xiyi was puzzled: "If we can control the palace city and get rid of the Dugu party, what harm will it do to us?" Kou Zhong replied respectfully: "The senior asked a good question, regardless of the difficulty of breaking the city, if Luoyang returns to stability, how can Li Mi still be willing to wave his army to the west." We will adopt a wait-and-see attitude and wait for another favorable situation before attacking. At that time, victory or defeat was unpredictable, so what time could it be compared to the current favorable situation?" Several people around, including Wang Shichong, were greatly convinced.

You must know that Wang Shichong and Li Mi have never won half a battle in the past. And the reason why Wang Shichong can still stand so stable is because of the twelve gates on all sides of Luoyang, the gates are all passes, the inside is fortified layer by layer, the outside is surrounded by long moats, and there are natural barriers.

Therefore, once Li Mi knew that something was going on in Luoyang, he would not miss the opportunity, so they would have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

On the other hand, Shi Fan and others also discussed with Liu Heimin and others and left the silk shop. (To be continued.) )
