Reverse Junhou

The sarong under the eaves swayed gently with the wind, and the night wind blew across the corridor, the proud plums in the courtyard, and the snow in front of the courtyard, making a rustling sound.

Wen Xue frowned slightly, turned over in a dream, and slept restlessly.

He grabbed the quilt on the couch with both hands and wrapped himself tightly.The cold wind howled outside the window, rushing into the room along the cracks in the lattice, the candlelight on the table reflected dimly, swayed a few times with the wind, and went out.

In the darkness, Wen Xuechao opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the couch.He raised his sleeve and wiped his temples, only to find that cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.

The scene in the dream was truly terrifying, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.In the desolation, Zhao Fengci vaguely appeared, with his back to the river, drifting away from himself.

Wen Xuechao got up from the couch and called out in a low voice, "Lan Lang?"

No one answered outside.

He frowned, got up in his outer clothes, and walked out of the inner court lightly, carrying a paper lantern.

As soon as he reached the gate of Yunrong Pavilion, he bumped into Wen Lan who was rushing back.

Wen Lan was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to bed yesterday. He held on to the pillar for a long time to pant before he said, "Master, a commander named Bai from the Yulin Army came to the mansion to look for you, saying that there is an urgent military report."

Wen Xue paused slightly towards her footsteps.Wen Lan looked up at the young master, and found that the young master's expression was gloomy and scary.

Wen Xuechao strode into the main hall, and found that the mansion was already full of Habayashi guards.

Seeing Xue Chao coming, Bai Wan rushed forward: "Master Wen, tens of thousands of refugees from Beizhili mutinied yesterday and destroyed the Xinglong Mansion, and the Xinglong prefect died in the city. Come to Guangyang."

Wen Xuechao took over the military report: "How can the governor conclude that the people who broke Xinglong City are refugees?"

Bai Wan was stunned: "My lord means..."

"Does this group of people have weapons in their hands, and is the marching team uniform?"

Bai Wan suddenly understood what Wen Xuechao meant: "Master Wen is worried, is there something strange about the identities of these refugees?"

Wen Xuechao was silent.A few days ago when he returned to Beijing from Xinglong Mansion, he felt a little suspicious.But the prefect of Xinglong insisted that the refugees in the mountains were infected with the plague, and the matter could not be delayed, so he could only return to Beijing first.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.Candles were lit in the courtyards of Wenfu, and people opened their windows to look towards the sky.

The heavy snow had just stopped, and several dazzling golden fireworks rose from the direction of the North City Gate, exploding one after another in the midair of Guangyang Capital.Mars pierced the sky, reflecting the entire capital like daytime.From the clock tower of the imperial city came the deep and distant sound of a tripod, and the sound of horseshoes gradually rose in the neighborhood alleys.

Golden flames cover the city, and foreign enemies attack.

Bai Wan and Wen Xuechao looked at each other, only to hear Xuechao say: "Bai Dudu, how many troops are left in the capital?"

Bai Wan looked solemn: "Most of the Yulin Army went to Yandang Pass, there are still more than [-] Yulin Guards in the central capital, and there are [-] reserve troops in the Northern Camp in the western suburbs."

He stretched out his hand to hold the saber at his waist: "Master Wen, I will return to the imperial city immediately and swear to protect His Majesty's safety to the death."

But how can a mere [-] soldiers and horses defend the huge imperial city?For a moment, he only felt that his heart was freezing, like falling into an ice cave.

"You lead the guards of the feather forest to the imperial palace to protect the emperor, and then let the Beidaying go to the south of the city to open the way. If your majesty asks, just say it's my intention." Wen Xuechao said, "If Guangyang can't hold it, let the Beidaying escort it." The royal family must keep His Majesty safe when they leave the city from the south."

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the gentleman dies in the country.What a shame it would be for the emperor to abandon the city and flee.

But Wen Xuechao knew in his heart that the time left for the court was running out.

"Your official understands." Bai Wan said, "Master Wen, the people in the city..."

In Guangyang City, apart from the royal family members and famous families, there are still 10,000+ ordinary people.If Habayashi guards retreated to the palace and allowed the enemy to attack the city, it would cut off the livelihood of the people in the city.

The child who didn't know where was awakened by the noise outside the city, and the sound of childish cries came from the city.

Wen Xuechao was silent for a moment: "Open the east and west gates. If there are ordinary people in the city who want to leave Beijing, let them go."

When he arrived at the palace, the palace was already in chaos.Emperor Jingyang has been in poor health recently, when he learned of the enemy's attack on the imperial capital in the middle of the night, he became anxious and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Habayashi guards surrounded the imperial city layer by layer, and the empresses of the palaces had never seen such a stern posture, and the pear blossoms were so frightened that they cried together with the rain.Only the queen still stood gracefully in front of the hall.

Empress Wen stared at her nephew: "Wen Ji, let Bei Daying guard the city gate. I will die if I wait. Miao'er is in the south, and there will be a day to come."

"Lead the feather forest guards to escort Your Majesty and Empress to leave." Wen Xue turned around and ordered Bai Wan.

Yubayashi Wei had just escorted the palace chariots and horses to the south of the city. From a distance, he saw flames rising from the gate of the south city, and thick smoke billowing from the city tower.

Bai Wan said inwardly, "The barbarian is making a fuss!"

The enemy army expected that the people in the city would flee to the south, so they took the lead in feigning to attack the north gate of the city. After leaving the city, the chariots and horses went south, and then split the road to attack the city from the south, trying to catch a turtle in an urn.

The sound of fighting came from outside the city.The Beidaying troops who had gone out of the city to open the way had already met the Hu people hand-to-hand.

Ashen was sitting in the car with Zhao Fenghui, when he heard the shouts of killing outside the city gate, he hurriedly covered His Highness Ninth Prince's ears.

"Where is fifth brother, I want to see fifth brother..." Zhao Fenghui cried out in fright, and went straight into Ah Shen's arms.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, Mr. Wen is still ahead, we'll be fine." Ah Shen patted Zhao Fenghui's back slowly.He hugged His Highness the Ninth Prince, and stretched his head to look at the South City Gate not far away.

The enemy army outside the city began to attack the city with bed crossbows, and the flint carrying arrows hit the gate flag on the tower, and the flames wrapped the flag body and burned blazingly.The archers of the North Camp couldn't withstand such a fierce attack, so they could only close the city gate and retreat into the city temporarily.

There was a lot of noise coming from the foot of the tower, and the barbarians' army began to boo.The leader raised his voice and sneered: "Look at the cowardice of the Dafu Emperor. He let the soldiers die for nothing, but he hides in the palace and acts like a coward. It's the same with all the Zhao family. They are all such cowardly cowards." Bag?"

Soon after Emperor Jingyang left the palace, he coughed up blood and passed out, and he was already unconscious by this time.When the royal family members in the motorcade heard this, their faces turned green and pale.This group of pampered nobles have been aloof since they were born, and they have never suffered such humiliation.

Only to hear the man say again: "How about this, let your emperor go out of the city at this moment, and kowtow to our King Guli to apologize, and we will withdraw the troops with gold and let you live, how about it?"

A person next to the caller let out a low laugh, as if he was interested in the proposal.

"It's boring to wait for a long time. Who knows if His Majesty the Emperor is thinking about how to escape? The north city gate is also my king's people. If you are in such a mess, where can you go?" King Guli said in a deep and deep voice, " There is no need for Emperor Dafu to visit, Yanqu is not here to fight, but to talk about peace."

Bai Wan's heart was shocked, he planned to escort the carriages and horses in the palace back to the north city gate, but was stopped by the barbarians first.While hesitating, he saw that Xue Chao had got off his horse and walked straight to the city gate.

"Master Wen, there is danger ahead!" Bai Wan hurriedly said.

"Master Bai, protect the emperor and empress's car and drive back to the city." Wen Xue said without turning her head.

He already understood in his heart the intention of the Hu people to attack the city this time.

Seeing the figure appearing on the tower, a surprised look flashed in Yuchi's eyes, he waved his hand to let the people behind him put down their bows and arrows.

The person who came was dressed in a purple official robe, and his whole body was spotless. He was a bit out of place among the scarred crowd.Yu Chijing laughed loudly: "What is the emperor doing, trying to deceive him with a beauty?"

Wen Xue said coldly: "Zhongshu Youcheng Wenji, is he qualified to negotiate terms with King Guli?"

Looking down at the city, he saw tens of thousands of refugees coming towards the gate of Guangyang Capital at the foot of Yashan Mountain.If you look closely, you will find many clues.Although this group of refugees was ragged and unkempt, they all had straight noses, strong builds, and a bloodthirsty light in their eyes.Thousands of people held hatchets and gathered under the city, like a black cloud pressing down on the city.

"Yichishuo made a surprise attack on Yandang Pass, and wanted to take this opportunity to lure the Yulin army northward so that you could attack Guangyang. King Guli led the army to pretend to be refugees and marched southward in a large scale. They will not bring large baggage and firearms. The Yanqu tribe's attack on the city is not aimed at occupying Guangyang Capital, but is probably trying to use the imperial city as a threat to put pressure on the Zhenbei Army that returns to aid."

Yu Chijing's eyes gradually deepened: "Father is right, there are indeed people of great wisdom in Guangyang Capital."

"What does Yanqu Department want?" Wen Xuechao asked.

Yu Chijing licked the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Zhenbei Army has retreated eight hundred miles from Yandang Pass, and Yanqu and Dafu are divided into sixteen prefectures in the north, how about it?"

"Father asked me to bring a royal heir back to Yanqu Department as a pledge," Yu Chijing laughed softly, and his eyes fell on Wen Xuechao, "But if the emperor is really reluctant, it's not a bad idea to take You Cheng for a trip. No."

Wen Xuechao frowned, and said slowly, "If I can't wait, what can King Guli do?"

Yu Chijing laughed loudly: "It's easy. When I lead the army into the city, I will bring all the Zhao family to the tower and tie them in a row. If Zhao Fengci dares to kill me, Yanqu, I will kill Yanqu in front of him. The heads of the Zhao family were cut off one by one, and hung on the city wall for fun."

Speaking of this, Yu Chijing seemed to think of something interesting.He asked his subordinates to present a blood-stained bundle, and untied it in front of everyone.

Wen Xuechao's pupils constricted instantly.What was contained in that bundle was the head of Xinglong prefect.

"This man is a tough guy." Yu Chijing was a little disappointed, "When this king broke Xinglong City, he led the garrison to fight on the city wall. It's not a good feeling to be pierced by thousands of arrows."

Wen Xuechao remembered the appearance of Xinglong prefect kneeling in front of him.This person has been the official of Xinglong's parents for more than ten years, in order to protect the people in the city from the epidemic, he risked the crime of deceiving the emperor and drove the refugees up the mountain.In the end, he failed to save the people in the city from fire and water, but ended up like this instead.

Under Pu Tian, ​​there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are those who are loyal and unyielding.

There was a sergeant from Xinglong on the city tower, seeing Yu Chijing casually throwing the head of Xinglong prefect on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot: "Master Wen, we will swear to defend the city to the death, and don't fall into the trap of the Hu thief!"

"Master Wen, the northern border is inalienable!"

There was a sound of commotion from the city tower, and the arrows in the hands of the Hu people went straight to the eyebrows, nailing the two mournful sergeants to the city wall.

Wen Xuechao looked at the blood splattered on the high platform, and remembered what His Highness the Fifth Highness had written.Waiting for your reunion.

Waiting to bring the jade dragon back to reunite with the king.But now staying together in the long room is like a dream, and sharing life and death is just a joke.

He survived the scorching poison, the hardships of the pirates, and the assassination in the east, but he was forced to retreat now.

A lonely city is difficult to defend, and the country is destroyed, and the king suffers, but all of a sudden.

He can't wait for him.
