Compared with the city defenders who were constantly replenishing their troops, Luan Ning's team gradually decreased.

There were more and more deserters. Although Luan Ning had issued strict orders and specially set up patrol teams, he still couldn't contain the storm of deserters.Seeing the sharp decrease in the number of soldiers, and the difficulty of attacking the city as the siege artifacts rushed into the car, Luan Ning planned to call back the soldiers who were chasing the emperor, after all, they were the direct descendants.

However, the direct line troops lost contact.

Luan Ning convened counselors to discuss the next battle strategy.

Some counselors pointed out that the capital should be captured quickly; some counselors pointed out that they should withdraw to the base camp first, stabilize the morale of the army, and intend to start again.

The two sides argued endlessly, and Luan Ning finally looked at Zhang Xu who had been silent all along.

Zhang Xu said frankly that he had no good ideas.

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Xu did not leave, but waited for everyone to leave before speaking to Luan Ning: "My lord, I have a plan."

Luan Ning was overjoyed, then frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it at the meeting?"

"This is a divisive plan. It needs to be concealed, and the wind must not be leaked." Luan Ning said calmly. "Please tell me quickly." Luan Ning replied.

"I have a long history with these generals guarding the city gate..." Zhang Xu and Luan Ning explained their plan.

"Tomorrow you will enter the capital with the spies." Luan Ning arranged.

"No, I'll go tonight." Zhang Xu said.

Ziqi was looking at the blueprint when someone came in to report.

"Prince, the enemy is attacking the city."

After a little thought, Ziqi pointed out.

The enemy's thousands of private soldiers are at Zhengyang Gate, beating gongs to the sky.At this time, taking advantage of the dim night, several men escaped the guards of the soldiers from another path and entered the capital.

The enemy army was powerful and menacing, and some generals shouted, "Your emperor has been captured by us."

When the army's morale was slackened, Luo Ning shot at someone with an arrow, and the enemy general fell off his horse in response.

But after a while, the enemy retreated.

The next day, news that the emperor had been captured spread throughout the capital.

The general guarding the city gate also saw Zhang Xu and his followers.

Someone reported the situation in the capital to Ziqi, and Ziqi pondered for a moment, asking people to ignore it.

Ziqi opened the three letters on the table, it turned out that when Ziqi defended the city at the beginning of the year, he sent several letters to the three people to arrange affairs for them.If something happens, get in touch.

Wang Ang's letter is that now Wang Luo does not work hard and has encroached on Luan Ning's territory. Now only after Luan Ning is killed, Wang Luo can deal with it later.

Xu Zhang's letter mainly introduces the affairs of southern Xinjiang. The so-called enemy invasion is just the invasion by some frontier tribes in the name of the enemy country.

Xiao Bozhong's letter is the main decision of the general and the reserve whether to help the emperor or the sixth prince.

All three are waiting for further instructions from Ziqi.

Ziqi wrote back one by one, and the reply to Wang Ang was to ask Wang Ang to persuade Wang Luo to continue to confuse Luan Ning's direct line troops, and then wait for Luan Ning's death, kill Wang Luo, and put Wang Che, the son of Wang Luo, on the throne.

Ziqi attached the letter to establish Wang Che as a general.

Ziqi first personally wrote several letters to the tribe, advocating the court's favor, and asked the tribe to request to be included, and then replied to Xu Zhang, using the tribe to balance the power of Ma Wu, the tribe, and the enemy. .

Finally, send back the autographed letter together with the letter to Xu Zhang.

The reply to Xiao Bozhong was to ask Xiao Bozhong to persuade the governor to welcome the emperor, so as to fight against Luan Ning's troops.

After dealing with these matters and without any worries, Ziqi concentrated on studying how to take Luan Ning down quickly and effectively.

At this time, the military tent was opened, and Zhang Xu walked in.

Ziqi and Zhang Xu met each other's eyes.

"Back?" Ziqi asked. "Yes." Zhang Xu answered simply.

"Alone?" Ziqi asked. "There are four more tails." Zhang Xu replied with a smile.

"Follow the plan." Zhang Xu stood on the blueprint and said with gestures.

"Yes." Ziqi replied.

Zhang Xu and Ziqi talked about the various processes along the way and the current situation of Luan Ning's team.

The two made a plan.

Ziqi intentionally staged an enmity scene with the defender of Zhengyangmen, and then quietly let the four tails go.

On that day, Luan Ning personally put on his clothes and went into battle.

He ordered soldiers to surround Zhengyangmen on all sides and opened a corner.He shouted: "I only want the capital, and I don't want the lives of the soldiers. I have left a trap for you. From now on, I will give you three hours. If you want to survive, you can pass through this trap."

Luan Ning made the loud soldiers shout again.

But the soldiers guarding the city did not respond.

Just as Luan Ning continued to urge people to shout, "What you said is true? Can we guarantee our lives?" The general of Zhengyang Gate suddenly asked.

Luan Ning was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

When the two armies were confronting each other, the general of Zhengyangmen led a group of people out of the city gate, and left the city gate under the watchful eyes of the two armies.

On the tower, only Ziqi and Luo Ning were sitting in charge.

After the Zhengyangmen generals escaped, Ziqi ordered his men to beat the drums continuously, trying to fight out of the city, but he only feigned a shot, making Luanning miss every time.

After tossing until midnight, Luan Ning's team was already exhausted, and some of them were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.Luan Ning was about to order everyone to set up camp, at this moment, someone reported to Luan Ning that there was a fire in the rear.

It turned out that the leader of Zhengyang Gate led the team to burn Luan Ning's food and grass under the banner of Luan Ning according to Zhang Xu's instructions, and then fled.

The red flames soaring into the sky were so intense that everyone inside and outside the tower could see them.

Luan Ning was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and was about to return to the camp to defend.

Just at this time, a cannon rang out in the capital, and suddenly, Luo Ning led the guards to rush out, and Luan Ning immediately sent orders to attack the city.

Many people have just woken up from a dream, panicked and confused.

But the people Luo Ning led were full of energy and extraordinary momentum.

Wherever the cavalry passed, it caused chaos among the enemy.

Wave after wave of soldiers attacked, no less than the soldiers on his side.

It turned out that Ziqi transferred all the soldiers to Zhengyangmen and increased his troops to complete his battle.

And the burning of the enemy camp by the generals of Zhengyang Gate

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luan Ning escaped under the cover of his direct descendants and went along the river.

Luo Ning shouted, "Luan Ning is dead."

Luan Ning's subordinates saw that the general was nowhere to be seen, and there was no one commanding them. They were even more confused, and they only cared about running for their lives in a hurry.

And when Luan Ning and his men were rejoicing to escape from Shengtian, Du Liangshi calmly stood in front of him.

It turned out that Du Liang had been waiting here for a long time.

Luan Ning died unwillingly in Du Liang's hands.

Until his death, he had never fought against the prince.

At dawn, the battle is over.

Du Liang was holding Luan Ning's head, the leader of Zhengyang Gate, and Luo Ning who was galloping on horseback. The three of them looked at each other with excited expressions, and together with Zhang Xu and He Qian, they gathered in the army tent.

"We won." Luo Ning said with a smile, his tone full of countless contents.

Looking at the crown prince, Luo Ning felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

After several narrow escapes, the East Palace was in trouble, and finally the crown prince guarded the cloud mountain to see the moonlight.

Ziqi smiled and looked at everyone one by one.

"Announce to the world that the traitor Luan Ning is dead."

Inside and outside the barracks, inside and outside the capital, the crowd was excited.

As Ziqi's edict spread throughout the world, many courtiers began to return to the capital.

Ziqi offered rewards for meritorious service, but the leader of Xizhimen protested, "We are all soldiers, and they are all common people. How can we get the same reward?" Ziqi said: "There is no distinction between arrows and stones; , what is the difference?"

The leader of Xizhimen was stunned speechless.

According to Ziqi's words, he will be rewarded and exempted from the capital's tax for one year.

The people in the capital rejoiced and supported the prince even more.

First, some courtiers who were separated from the emperor returned to the capital, thinking that the capital after the war was in chaos, and they all planned to show one or two things in front of the prince, so that they could be selected by high officials.

Unexpectedly, the capital city is orderly and more prosperous than before the war.

However, it is not easy to restore their original positions, because they have to pass the examination and inspection first.

I almost want to die.

The official threshold set by Ziqi caused some courtiers to complain, but they were outnumbered. If they hadn't been turned into official obsessives, they would have nowhere to go.

It is incompatible with the whole vibrant capital.

In order to continue to be an official, he can only continue the exam according to the instructions of the prince.Looking helplessly at the crown prince's team, there are still half of the vacancies.

Following Ziqi's edict, Wang Ang, Xu Zhang, and Xiao Bozhong acted according to plan, and the border areas have been stabilized.

When the former courtiers had passed the exam and entered the official again, they found that the head of the six departments had already been occupied.

Du Liang from the Ministry of Industry, Bozhong Xiao from the Ministry of Officials, He Qian from the Ministry of Households, Wang Ang from the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Xu from the Ministry of Rites, Xu Zhang from the Ministry of War, everyone has meritorious service and cannot be offended.

I can only blame myself for running away early.

These courtiers thought that they could not make meritorious service in the past, but now they have to make meritorious deeds quickly and become the prince, so they began to make the best strategy frequently.

Unexpectedly, Ziqi said: "If you don't know civil affairs, it's easier to offer advice; once it is implemented, a piece of paper will come out, and Zhao's surname will be harmed."

These courtiers finally rested their minds and settled down to do practical things.

At the beginning of the political stability, Ziqi asked people to invite the demoted right minister out of the mountain, planning to reform the system.

At this time, someone persuaded the prince to become emperor, but someone unexpectedly retorted, "The emperor who is away should be welcomed back."

Ziqi promised to let the emperor be found.

In secret, someone privately persuaded Ziqi to assassinate the emperor. Ziqi agreed, and at the same time sent people to take the emperor back with false ones in three groups.

When Ziqi picked up the emperor's troops and returned, there were rumors that the emperor was assassinated by the prince.

At this time, the subordinates of the sixth prince persuaded the sixth prince to take the opportunity to rebel and win the world.
