I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

The guard in charge of guarding Changle Gate on the southernmost side of Chang'an also participated in Emperor Qingping's banquet that day.

These few senior generals of Qinmenguan are Xu Zonglun's confidantes.Military commanders are different from civil servants. They must defend against the enemy together and completely obey their superiors. Over time, the relationship between superiors and subordinates can easily become unbreakable.

What's more, Xu Zonglun has always been an extremely qualified leader.

Qinmen Pass is different from Border Pass and prefectures.The guards at the frontier are far away from the emperor, and they will be much freer; the defenses in the states and counties do not have too many heavy military affairs, and their daily life is much more nourishing.

It just so happens that they have such a difficult pass, and life is the most difficult.

Before Xu Zonglun came, they lived a poor life on weekdays, needless to say.

However, after Xu Zonglun became a guard at Qinmen Pass, the situation changed.

He looks like a gentle and good-natured man, educated, and treats his subordinates well.More importantly, he was able to fool the officials who came to inspect from Beijing, and he always turned a blind eye to the generals like them who were greedy for money and paid for nothing.

In the beginning, it was just a few generals trying to get a point or two. Gradually, everyone knew that as long as they did not go too far, General Xu would not stop them from improving their lives.

The guards at Qinmenguan were more or less grateful to General Xu. Gradually, some of them were picked out by Xu Zonglun and became his henchmen.

So this time, before His Majesty summoned them, General Xu gathered these people together and told them his plan.All the generals responded immediately, and none of them were unwilling.

Before, they just followed the general to fish for oil and water at Qinmen Pass. When the general's major event is completed, they have a lot of opportunities to increase their ranks and become nobles. Do they still spend a few days at that pass that is not going up or down?

The generals are more or less eager to try.

And what happened these days has also well verified their conjectures.

They are stationed outside Chang'an City, they only need to guard the eight city gates, and they don't have to worry about other things.Seeing their huge army, the people in the city did not dare to take any action easily. There were also officials and rich businessmen who were afraid of a fight, planned for their own future, tried every means to curry favor with them, and stuffed money into their pockets.

But after a few days, they tasted a lot of sweetness.

At the same time, General Xu also expressed something to them.

Chang'an was already extremely prosperous, and it has been peaceful for more than ten years, without any major battles, and the treasury is extremely full.In the past few days, General Xu has repeatedly sent food and grass rewards to them outside the city. After distributing them, even the last-ranking soldiers can receive some money in rewards, not to mention the fact that the army can smell meat when they fire every day. .

This kind of day can't even catch up with Qinmenguan's New Year's Eve.

You don't need to do anything, you will get a lot of rewards, even the guards will relax a lot after a few days.

This is the case outside Changle Gate today.

When the guard got up, it was already high in the sun.He rectified briefly, inspected the defenders outside the city gate, and went up the tower leisurely.

Except for the soldiers on duty, all the other soldiers were waiting in the camp for their duty.But there are tens of thousands of troops outside their city gate, and no matter how big the city gate is, it will not be that many. To this day, the entire battalion has never been on duty.

This will make it almost noon, and the soldiers who have nothing to do have already set up a pot outside the camp and started to light a fire to cook.

The guard sat down on the tower.

The deputy general standing on the tower saw him sitting down, so he came forward to chat with him.

"General, is there any news from the palace that when will His Highness the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne?" He asked.

The guard gave him a slow look.

"What's the rush?" he said.

The lieutenant general smiled.

"What's the rush?" he said. "These few days have been so leisurely, my subordinates are not in a hurry, I just wish I could live like this for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, the chief general laughed a few times.

"That's not okay," he said. "Stay here every day, where can I get promoted?"

When the lieutenant heard this, his eyes lit up.

"That's true," he said. "However, my subordinates don't want to be promoted and go back to Qin Gate to guard."

The master general glanced at him and sneered.

"Qin Gate Pass?" he said. "How big is Qinmen Pass? How big a general can it hold?"

The lieutenant immediately understood what he meant.

"The general said..."

Seeing him asking this question, the Lord General nodded.

"General Xu promised long ago." He said. "Of course we won't let us just go back to Qinmen Pass after the matter is completed."

There was nothing left and right, the deputy general heard this, and then asked with interest: "Then general Xu said, where should we go?"

The chief general paused and did not speak.

This kind of guaranteed ticket was naturally laid down by General Xu when he informed them of the plan in private and asked them to cooperate and help.At that time, General Xu said that after the matter is completed, the Holy Majesty will definitely dispose of the entire Yongning Duke's mansion. At that time, Yongning's wife's family will not be able to stay.

The elder brother of Yongning Gong's wife is the guard of Yumen Pass.

Yumen Pass is a border pass that leads directly to the Western Regions. Not only is it peaceful all year round, but it also has several prosperous commercial routes.

General Xu said at the time that after dealing with the Shen family, he handed over the vacated Yumen Pass to them.

They all know this well, but they also know that before the matter is completed, it is absolutely forbidden to spread it to the outside world.

The Lord General hesitated.

When the deputy general saw his situation, he knew that he knew it well, but he couldn't say it out loud.

The deputy general smiled and said: "What is the general afraid of? The subordinates have always been strict. Besides, the enthronement of His Royal Highness is a certainty. What else should we be afraid of?"

The Lord General knows this truth.

The deputy general continued: "What's more, we are guarding here now. Not even a fly can fly in Chang'an City, so there will be no changes. Just tell your subordinates, and your subordinates will know what to do, and don't tell the third party." personal."

The Lord was shaken.

"Then you can do what you say," he said.

The lieutenant nodded repeatedly.

"General Xu said, when things are done..."

His words stopped abruptly.

The lieutenant widened his eyes.

He saw a sharp arrow flying through the air, and when no one could react, it suddenly tore apart the tranquility in front of him.

The arrow suddenly pierced the general's throat and nailed him heavily to the stone wall of the tower.

Before he even had time to close his eyes, he lost his breath.

As if at the same moment, the sound of swords piercing flesh, hurried footsteps, and the sound of fighting and screaming came from under the city tower.

The lieutenant stared blankly at the city gate.

I saw a troop wearing Xuanjia, the number was not very large, and there was no sound of killing.As they marched, they could only hear the sound of armor colliding, like ghost soldiers pouring out of the underworld, quiet and fast, and killing people like hemp.

And not far away, the soldiers' camp actually caught fire.The flames were blazing, and some soldiers fled from the camp in a panic.Some soldiers tried to fight with the Xuanjia army, but before they could drop their swords, they died under the blade.

In just a short time, most of the soldiers in the camp were captured, and the contest between the two armies seemed to be over before it really started.

The lieutenant stared blankly into the distance.

Then I saw a man and a horse standing quietly more than ten feet away.

The man was sitting on a black horse, dressed in a black brocade robe, tall and straight.

He carried a bow on his back, and he could tell at a glance that it was he who killed the general with an arrow just now.

Only then did the lieutenant come back to his senses, and hurried down the tower.

Under the city tower, there was still the sound of fighting.Before taking two steps, he ran into a wounded soldier on the stairs who was about to report.

"General!" the soldier hurriedly said. "There are so many of them, we can't stop them!"

The deputy general hurriedly asked: "What about the other city gates? Our camp is at the southernmost point, so we must be the first to bear the brunt. You immediately find a few people, break out of the encirclement, and report to the other city gates!"

The soldier shook his head vigorously.

"General, someone has already arrived at the west gate of the city!" he said. "The remaining seven city gates... have been quietly controlled by them half an hour ago, and they didn't even have time to send out the signal!"

The lieutenant was stunned.

"Who is leading the soldiers?" He asked in a daze.

The soldier wiped his face.

"Say it is... King Guangling, the Yanyun iron cavalry he brought!" He said. "Now the other seven city gates have been guarded to death by them. The person who heard the news said that King Guangling must be entering the city through Changle Gate... to enter the imperial city!"

-

In just an hour, all eight gates of Chang'an were broken.

The soldiers at Qinmenguan hadn't fought for many years, and they were much more relaxed in the past few days. When Yanyun's iron cavalry attacked today, they even started cooking in advance.Yanyun cavalry attacked from the northernmost city gate, first captured the city gate, locked the city gate, and then controlled the Qinmenguan army outside the city, catching turtles in the urn.After capturing a city gate, Yanyun's cavalry divided into two groups, attacked the gates on both sides, and finally gathered outside Changle Gate, killed the guards, and took Changle Gate with ease.

The battle report was sent to the imperial case of the fourth prince immediately.

His hands couldn't help shaking.

"...Master Xu." A moment later, he raised his head, looked at Xu Xiang who was standing in the imperial study, and said. "They came to report that Xue Yan has hit the Changle Gate."

Xue Yan did not enter the other seven city gates. Xue Yunhong knew that it was not those gates that blocked Xue Yan, but Xue Yan sealed those gates to trap them in Chang'an City.

Xu Xiang didn't speak for a while.

Xue Yunhong suddenly stood up.

"How could Xue Yan know the news, and how could he have soldiers!" He said angrily. "Master Xu, you have promised me that there will be no omissions!"

Xu Xiang silently endured Xue Yunhong's anger.

What happened today was beyond his expectation.He didn't intend to ask them to do anything about the soldiers at Qinmenguan, it was just a deterrent.

...But now, deterrence has not been effective, but it has attracted real wolves.

Xu Xiang knew clearly that no one could save them now.

They took a dangerous move, and Xue Yan was the end of life and death.Now that Xue Yan has broken the game, they are the ones who will die.

And this, Xue Yunhong also knows.

He panted heavily, and after a while, he opened his mouth again.

His voice was hoarse.

"Master Xu, I can't die." He said. "I can't die in Xue Yan's hands."

Xu Xiang naturally knew.

The one in front of him was left by his daughter, and it was also the only common blood of their Xu family and the royal family.

If he was born, the Xu family would still have a chance, if he died, the Xu family would be at the end of their rope.

"...I will make arrangements immediately," he said. "Make sure His Highness leaves Chang'an safely."

Xue Yunhong nodded, but immediately after, he shook his head again.

"Not enough," he said.

"Now it's the last moment. Not only do I want to live, but I also want Xue Yan's relatives, Rang Jun's family, and Rang Jiang's family to all die."
