At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Seeing the signal, Feng Guo was overjoyed, and gave an order, and the mutiny began.

The soldiers who participated in the mutiny suddenly drew out their knives and slashed at the "comrades in arms" beside them. The soldiers beside them couldn't react and were killed a lot in an instant. The city gate and the city gate were in chaos.

Soon, Feng Guo, who had premeditated it, seized the east gate with absolute advantage, immediately sent people to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and then raised fire as a sign.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Guo Lie, two cavalrymen who had already left the camp under the cover of night, noticed the fire horn at the top of the city.

This is the opportunity.

"rush!"

"action!"

Zhao Yun and Guo Lie unanimously gave the order to march, and each of them led a cavalry to gallop towards the gate of the city. The violent momentum broke through the already unsettled night.

Behind Zhao Yun and Guo Lie was the infantry led by Zhang Yun and Xia Houyuan, who followed Zhao Yun and Guo Lie and charged towards the east gate.

The defense line of Shouchun City was broken.

But at this time, Yuan Shu didn't know about this matter. There was still an imperial city separated from the city gate to the imperial palace. Yuan Shu set his capital at Shouchun, and sent people to heighten and reinforce the original inner city into an imperial city.

The outer city wall is a garrison, and the inner imperial city is another garrison. There are several towers in the imperial city. The guards of the imperial city are Yuan Shu's Habayashi Army. The number is about [-]. The veterans are the backbone, and the elite level is naturally not comparable to that of the militia.

In addition, there is the Huben Army. The number of the Huben Army is about 2000, and the treatment is the same as that of the Habayashi Army. However, because the Huben Army is the emperor's personal soldier selected from the army after Yuan Shu became emperor, the degree of intimacy is not as good as that of the Habayashi Army. military.

This 5000-man army is Yuan Shu's last lifeblood.

During the Northern Expedition, five thousand elites followed and returned with three thousand.

This time to defend the city, because the troops were too tight, Lu Mian dispatched 1000 people to go out. After Lu Mian was captured, Yuan Yao defended the city. In order to protect his safety, Yuan Shu dispatched another [-] forest troops to protect Yuan Yao. he.

As a result, due to the tense battle, the elites of the Habayashi Army and the Huben Army were pulled up to defend the city. Neither Lu Mian nor Yuan Yao had strong guards around them, which gave Qiao Rui a chance to kill with one blow.

Right now Yuan Shu is living in the deep palace, and there are only 800 permanent guards around him, plus the guards and servants on shifts, etc., a total of about 500 troops can guard the imperial city.

When Zhao Yun and Guo Lie's cavalry rushed into the city and slaughtered all directions, Yuan Shu was still taking medicine and porridge under the service of two nobles.

The imperial doctor advised Yuan Shu to use light porridge to keep in good health, to nourish the body slowly, and it could not be done overnight. Yuan Shu also knew that the body was important, so he did not dare to disobey the doctor's order, so he took medicine and drank porridge patiently.

The war outside is done once a day, and the rest of the time is spent resting in bed, not to mention whether you can fall asleep, at least lying down with your eyes closed is good.

After taking the medicine and porridge here, Yuan Shu was preparing to rest under the service of the nobleman, but he heard a vague commotion, and just felt strange, someone came to report in a hurry, saying that an extremely violent explosion erupted at the gate of the east city. fighting.

Someone opened the gate of the east city, and Guo Peng's army has entered the city and started to wreak havoc!

Yuan Shu was stunned on the spot. The two nobles held a plate in their hands. After hearing this, they loosened their hands and the plate fell to the ground, breaking the exquisite jade bowl.

"How did this happen? What happened? Why did someone open the city gate?!"

Yuan Shu didn't know where the strength came from, he threw off the quilt and got off the bed, grabbed the messenger servant's collar, his eyes widened, and his face was extremely angry and panicked.

Chapter 440 .430 Nine Follow Me to Escort

Seeing Yuan Shu's ferocious expression, the servant was terrified.

"Your Majesty, I don't know this. The city is already in chaos. It's very chaotic. There are fires everywhere in the east of the city. I don't know how many enemies have entered. Your Majesty, Shouchun City can't be defended anymore. Please make plans early and leave. Let's Shouchun!"

After hearing the servant's words, Yuan Shu's eyes widened, he was breathing rapidly, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do.

The two nobles were already trembling with fright, their faces turned ashen, and they collapsed on the ground, at a loss for what to do.

"No... Impossible! How could the city fall! How could someone betray Gu?! It is impossible for someone to open the city gate! Lu Mian was beheaded, how could there be any remaining party? Who is it! Who betrayed Gu!"

Yuan Shu roared loudly.

But this is of no use. As more and more Guo Jun soldiers entered the city, the situation in Shouchun City has collapsed.

The city gate defenders and the city defenders lost their unified command, and turned into headless chickens running around, and what's more, they directly opened other city gates to try to escape.

As a result, he was caught by Guo Jun soldiers who were ready on all sides, and killed them along the city gate, blocking all the opened city gates.

Not long after, the city gates on all sides fell completely, and all of them fell into Guo Peng's control, and the army began to compress the inner city from all sides.

Yuan Shu built the imperial city in the middle of Shouchun City to show the meaning of self-importance, which feels very bold.

But right now it is surrounded by four sides, Guo Peng ordered the army to compress into the imperial city in the center of the city, and compress all the defeated soldiers who resisted and those who did not dare to resist, and wiped out all of them.

Without a unified command, Chen Jun's soldiers couldn't even find a direction to escape, let alone resist.

A little weak resistance can't do anything at all, and they are retreating again and again, especially when they encounter the impact of cavalry. Being chased and killed is simply neat.

The cavalry of Zhao Yun and Guo Lie had already approached the imperial city. They beheaded Chen Jun's soldiers everywhere, demolished all the defenses they had set up, and opened a smooth passage for the follow-up troops. They killed the fiasco and advanced in an all-round way.

The city was chaotic and noisy, with screams, roars and horses neighing everywhere, gathering together.

For Guo and his fifth column, this is an exciting and exciting march to destroy the country.

But for Yuan Shu and his few loyal ministers, it was a miserable ditty of subjugation.

Empress Feng was still decocting medicine for Yuan Shu with her own hands in the palace, and planned to send it to Yuan Shu when the decoction was finished, but suddenly she heard noises and shouts, her heart suddenly jumped, and suddenly a bad feeling pervaded her heart, stop talking, A flustered little servant rushed over.

"Queen, something is wrong, the city is broken!"

"what?!"

Feng's face turned pale with shock, while the servants around her were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Feng Shi was also considered to have experienced strong winds and waves, so he managed to stabilize his mind and quickly asked Yuan Shu's situation.

"Your Majesty is still in the palace, Empress, what should we do?"

"Go to His Majesty immediately!"

Feng made a prompt decision: "All of you will come with me to find His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

Everyone is following Feng's closely. They need a backbone, a backbone who can lead them to act purposefully.

At the same time, in the Shangshutai, the officials of the Shangshutai who heard the news of the city's destruction were in a panic. Some cried loudly, some snickered, some ran away, and some sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Different from the Yuan family and domestic slaves in the deep palace, quite a few of these people have already participated in the previous actions to kill Lu Mian and instigate Qiao Rui.

Naturally, they would not worry about this kind of thing. They had already made preparations. They would only be happy when Guo Peng led the army into the city, but they still had to show panic on the surface.

Because Shangshu Ling Han Yin was still on duty at Shangshutai, he hadn't gone home for several days in a row. He lived and ate at Shangshutai, trying his best to maintain the operation of Shouchun City.

At this time, the city was broken, and Han Yin was powerless to recover.

Facing the chaotic Shangshutai, looking at the scattered bamboo slips everywhere, listening to the roars and screams from the city, listening to the sound of fighting, holding a pen, his heart also I don't know whether to be sad or relieved.

It's sad, it is indeed sad, the Chen Empire was established for half a year, and then it fell under Guo Peng's strangulation.

An imperial dynasty established for only half a year, a country with a lifespan of only half a year, would probably be mercilessly ridiculed by future generations?

These experiencers and participants will probably be mercilessly ridiculed by history, right?

How will the history books of later generations record their miserable losers?

Han Yin didn't know, although he still had a little bit of extravagant hope, maybe he could get a fair comment with one or two words if he tried his best?

"Lingjun! Guo Zifeng has entered the city, what should we do?"

Han Yin was silent for a while, put down his pen, and stood up.

"Do you still need to ask me what to do? Don't you have your own plans in your mind?"

Han Yin glanced around at the flustered officials, and said, "If you have plans, let's go. Shouchun City will almost settle down in the morning."

Han Yin, who should know, knows that some things can be guessed even by guessing. Faced with such a Han Yin, people with ghosts in their hearts can't stay. After a short silence, several people stood up together , Farewell to Han Yin.

"Han Lingjun cherishes it! I will take my leave!"

With the leader, everything else is easy to talk about, so some people stood up again, and people kept standing up to say goodbye to Han Yin.

"Han Lingjun cherishes it!"

"I hope Han Lingjun will protect himself."

"Han Lingjun, see you tomorrow."

"Han Lingjun, it's not because we have no integrity. We just think about our family and do it as a last resort."

One, two, three all stood up and bid farewell to Han Yin with various reasons.

But the moment they turned around, most of the people were relieved, and jogged away from the Shangshutai with secret joy.

Tomorrow morning, they will be Hanchen again.

Looking at the empty Shangshutai, looking at the only three people left, Han Yin shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Why don't you follow?"

All three of them lowered their heads and never whispered to each other.

"Deeply honored by Yuan's kindness, I don't want to leave."

"Receive the kindness of others, and you should repay it with your life."

"I am an old official of the Yuan family, how can I turn my back on it?"

The three of them answered the reasons for not leaving one after another. Han Yin took a deep look at the three of them and nodded slowly.

"The current situation has reached the end of the mountain, and only then can we see where a person's integrity lies. Chen Guo can still have officials like you, which is a blessing, a great blessing."

One of them looked up at Han Yin.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Han Yin thought for a while.

"I heard that no matter how unpopular a country is, there will be courtiers who are willing to die for it, not for anything else, but for integrity and loyalty. To die for integrity and loyalty, even the enemy cannot insult it."

Han Yin walked back to his seat, pulled out a section of the saber hanging on the shelf next to the seat, then put the saber back into its sheath, and held it in his hand: "We are already the traitors of the Han Dynasty. Can it be reversed again?"

The three immediately stood up and bowed to Han Yin: "I would like to obey your order!"

"Follow me to escort you!"

Han Yin straightened his face and walked forward holding a knife. Three followers followed Han Yin, left the Shangshutai, and stepped into the vast night and endless hustle and bustle.

Chapter 441 .440 I'm almost a human being (repair)

At this time, Yuan Shu had changed his clothes with the help of his servants, gathered a group of servants and guards, protected Yuan Shu and other big palace people, and marched towards the south of the city together.

There is really nowhere to escape, the north, east and west will fall into Guo Peng's grasp, if you want to survive, you have to go south.

Although there is Guo Peng's army in the south, at least after the breakthrough, the sea and the sky will be vast, and Lujiang County is not yet Guo Peng's sphere of influence.

Lei Bozheng, the guard of the imperial city, led the army to guard Guo Jun who was approaching the imperial city, and sent people to pass the news from time to time. Yuan Shu was frightened, and now his face was pale and his steps were staggering. Only with the support can we walk steadily.

Even so, Yuan Shu was still cursing, saying things like "Yuan Yao is incompetent", "Yang Hong is incompetent", "Ji Ling is incompetent", "Qiao Rui is incompetent", saying that these people have misunderstood himself and Chen country, missed Yuan's glory.

Coughing while cursing, coughing and cursing, Feng told Yuan Shu to stop talking while weeping, Yuan Shu still kept talking.

The team was advancing very slowly. Anyway, it was definitely not as fast as Guo Peng's march. At this time, Guo Peng had already led the army into the city. Qiao Rui and Feng Guo, as representatives of the fifth column in the city, knelt on the ground to welcome Guo Peng's entry into the city.

"Criminal General Qiao Rui (Feng Guo) pays his respects to General Guo!"

The two knelt on the ground, a gesture of humility and submission.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and Chen Gong around Guo Peng all showed contempt for these two people.

There is no way, since you want to be a traitor and traitor, you must be prepared to be ridiculed and ridiculed for the rest of your life.

No matter who betrayed their own country, betrayed their country for glory, even if they made a great contribution to the enemy country, they would still be nailed to the pillar of shame for thousands of years.

His own people look down on him, and his enemies look down on him. That is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror. He is not a human being inside and out. He has nothing but his life and money.

Of course, some people don't mind being dogs for others, and feel that eating dog food is very enjoyable, as long as they can save their lives.

Qiao Rui and Feng Guo are obviously this kind of people. They don't seem to have much awareness of betrayal, and the contemptuous eyes of Guo Jia Xizhong and Chen Gong don't seem to convey it to them.

Guo Peng was very enthusiastic, dismounted himself, and helped the two of them up with a big smile.
