Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

On April [-]th of the second year of Jiaxi, Emperor Jiaxi proclaimed an imperial edict in Guangde Hall, stating that Tang Cheng, the general of the Fuguo State, had ordered his order, and sincerely asked Lou Yu, the king of Dong'an, to inherit the great order and protect the country and society of Lou's family.

Tang Cheng draws his sword angrily, and holds Emperor Jiaxi hostage on top of the main hall, causing chaos and lawlessness.

The imperial guards were wary of rats and dared not move rashly.

Under the protection of the Tang party, the later traitor Tang Cheng quickly escaped from the palace gate and sealed off the inside and outside of the capital.

After escaping from Miyagi, Tang Cheng immediately summoned his men to search for post envoys who might be carrying the imperial edict to prevent news from spreading.

But it's too late.

When the officials were still in Guangde Hall, someone read the imperial edict on the tower of the imperial city.

Inside and outside the capital, what should be known is already known.

It's impossible for Tang Cheng to kill all the people in the city, right?

The news flew out as if it had grown wings, as if sparks fell into an oil pan and suddenly boiled and burned.

Tang Cheng is about to rebel!

Your Majesty asks Dong'an Wang Kuang to help the country and inherit the great rule!

The capital has fallen into the hands of thieves!

King Dong'an, come quickly!

The news reached Lou Yu's ears, and Lou Yu had led troops to display in Laizhou.

Ever since he asked Lou Bing to implement this plan, he had already anticipated this day.

Stimulated by the imperial edict, and under the determination of Lou Bingyu to die, Tang Cheng's only escape route is to force the palace!

But the edict has been issued, even if he forces the palace, he will not take it for granted, and the world is bound to crusade against him like they crusade against Shi Ming.

But Tang Cheng is slightly different from Shi Ming.

For more than a year, Tang Cheng used the power of the General Fuguo to replace many state guards with his own people.

From Laizhou to the capital, there are still several states lying in between, and Lou Yu has to fight across.

Now the Qing army has grown to 6 people, and with 6 people attacking a city, the possibility of successfully capturing it is not small, but it will definitely cause many casualties.

If they push them all the way, they will probably only have less than half of their soldiers and horses left in the capital.

How did the small half soldiers break through the gates of the capital?

Lou Yu could not help but sigh.

If Lou Bing really died, and the imperial guards shot Tang Cheng to death in the palace, everything would be solved easily.

Huo Yan knew why he sighed.

"The imperial city is still guarded by the imperial guards. Perhaps, he just has a glimmer of hope."

Who doesn't want to live a few more days?

Lou Bing cherishes his life, if he spared his life, he would have died with his wife and young son in the first place.

Is it wrong to be afraid of death?

correct.

It's just that if he doesn't have the ability to keep the imperial city, Lou Bing will die eventually, and more people will die.

On the first day of May in the second year of Jiaxi, the supplement of "Gyeongju Xunbao" was issued.

The important news is about Tang Cheng's attempt to steal the country.

The rest of the forums are all articles condemning Tang Cheng.

Every word weeps blood, every sentence punishes the heart.

The whole world was shocked, and one after another responded to the call to support King Dong'an in eradicating the traitors and purging the court!

soup house.

Tang Cheng was furious, and asked fiercely, "It's been a few days, why didn't I find it! Didn't Lou Bing say that the imperial edict was distributed everywhere!"

The subordinates were trembling: "Forgive me, the general. The villain has already turned the capital upside down, and notified the rest of the state capitals. It is true that no post envoy carrying the edict was found."

Now in Dasheng, except for the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of King Dong'an, the Yue prefecture where King Yue is located, the south which has been fighting for independence, and the northern frontier which does not care about court disputes, the rest of the prefectures are under the control of Tomson.

This is where he is stronger than Shi Ming.

If there is really a post envoy to distribute the edict, it is impossible for these state capitals to fail to find the trace.

The military adviser thought carefully, and suddenly said: "Perhaps, the imperial edict does not exist."

Perhaps Lou Bing just wanted to waste their time by saying this, thereby delaying the progress of attacking the imperial city.

After all, it is quite difficult to write a single edict without the knowledge of the palace, and writing so many copies is tantamount to an even more difficult task.

Tang Cheng said: "In any case, most of the imperial guards are his people."

With the cover of the Praetorian Guards, the transmission and copying of the imperial edict is not impossible.

It's not that the capital is not loyal to the royal family, and the Xie family is a typical example.

Tang Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.

Thank you!

He quickly summoned his subordinates: "Quickly go to Ning Enhou's Mansion to investigate the situation!"

The Xie family members were either disabled or useless before, and Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to them at all.

Even if Xie Ce recovered, Tang Cheng just sneered.

Xie Ce doesn't have much ability, Xie Xin is already paralyzed, Tong's family is just a woman, and the remaining one, Xie Mao, probably still smells like milk.

But, is it true that Lou Bingren used Xie Ce just to exchange blood for the Imperial Guard?

Xie's family is a family of generals after all, when the late emperor was still there, Marquis Ning En was considered powerful, perhaps Xie Xin still has cronies to follow behind him.

All the aristocratic families will more or less raise secret guards in private.

These hidden guards have never been shown before, and their concealment skills are top-notch, which is indeed a great help for Lou Bing.

The more Tang Cheng thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

The military adviser saw his thoughts, and comforted him: "When Shi Ming entered Beijing, Xie's family fell into disrepair for a period of time, and I am afraid that they are no longer able to support the so-called hidden guards. Although the honor has been restored now, compared to the beginning, it is far behind."

"That's what you said, but the Xie family had to get rid of it!" Tang Cheng was full of anger.

"Wait a minute, general." The military adviser suggested, "Now Xie Ce is in charge of the imperial guards. Xie Ce is inside the palace, but Xie's family is still outside the palace. Why don't you threaten the lives of Xie's family first?"

Tang Cheng nodded: "It makes sense."

If he could threaten Xie Ce to open the palace gate with the lives of Xie's family, he would not have to storm the imperial city, which would save a lot of trouble.

However, when the subordinates came back from the investigation, they said: "Go back to the general, there is only Marquis Ningen left in the Xie residence."

Tang Cheng was a little confused: "Where are Tong Shi and Xie Mao!"

"Subordinates don't know."

"Then hurry up and find it!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, his subordinates returned to report: "Return to the general, I heard that yesterday someone saw the carriage of Ning Enhou's mansion going to Ziyun temple."

Purple Cloud View!

Tang Cheng and the military division looked at each other.

That's right, Ziyun Temple!

The master of Laoshizi deliberately helped Lou Bing to cheat him, there must be tricks in it!

For a long time, Ziyun Temple has always been detached, regardless of the world, Tang Cheng didn't take it too seriously.

Therefore, even if Guanzhu Qinghe helped with the show, Tang Cheng only felt that Lou Bing was just dying.

But maybe, those before were just a gimmick.

The military adviser was shocked: "Your Majesty can secretly send the edict out of the palace, and it is also possible to send the jade seal out of the palace."

Needless to say, the importance of jade seals.

Without Yuxi, Tang Cheng could not change the will.

As long as he has the jade seal in his hand, he can use the edict to send Lou's clan members away.

No one wants to fight, and neither does Tang Cheng.

Of course, even if the imperial edict doesn't work for Lou Yu, it doesn't matter whether you can find the jade seal or not, but Tang Cheng doesn't want the jade seal to fall into Lou Yu's hands, adding chips to the opponent.

He frowned fiercely: "It must have been taken to Ziyun Temple by Mrs. Tong and Xie Mao! Come here, and immediately lead troops to surround Ziyun Temple and force..."

"Wait, General!"

The military division hurriedly stopped, "Ziyun Temple is a holy place of Taoism, and there are countless believers in the world. If you attack Ziyun Temple rashly, it may arouse people's rebellious intentions."

They may not care so much about changing the emperor, but destroying their place of belief will cause public outrage.

Tang Cheng didn't believe in it, and didn't think there was anything special about Taoist temples.

"Those who believe in Taoism are just a group of foolish people, I don't care what they think!"

The military adviser wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Tang Cheng's indifferent expression, he held back.

It was impossible for Tang Cheng to personally lead soldiers to surround the Taoist temple, so he only ordered two thousand soldiers and told them that they must turn the Taoist temple upside down.

The men led the troops.

Tang Cheng smiled coldly, and said to the military adviser, "Lou Bing has been allowed to live for so long, it's time to send him down to meet his ancestors."

"The general plans to attack the imperial city now?"

Tang Cheng drew out his sword, the ambition in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"Take the letter of thanks and go attack the imperial city!"

The imperial guards in the imperial city are now led by Xie Ce, many of them are senior generals who used to be part of the Xie family, and most of them obey Xie Ce's orders.

Tang Cheng dragged the letter of thanks to the palace gate, met Xie Ce's deep gaze, and said fiercely: "Open the palace gate! Otherwise, you will see how your father died with your own eyes!"

Xie Xin's legs were crippled, and he was thrown on the ground by Tang Cheng, in a state of embarrassment.

He picked at the gap between the bluestone slabs, looked at this familiar palace door, and thought of the scene he had walked through countless times, his eyes became more determined.

The Xie family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and this belief is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Xie family.

He looked up at Xie Ce on the tower.

Xie Ce's eyes were full of regret and intolerance.

This is what they had planned in advance.

This is the Xie family's loyalty to the royal family, and also their surrender to the future new emperor.

As Xie Mao said, the only one in this world who can compete with Tang Cheng is Dongan Wang Louyu.

Xie Xin has analyzed that even though Tang Cheng has a large army in his hands and the advantage of the capital, his chances of winning are not great.

If there hadn't been the "Xiandi entrusting a dream", perhaps Tang Cheng's chances of winning would have been higher, but now, Tang Cheng has already committed public outrage.

How can the people's hearts be deviated from the world?

As long as the King of Dong'an raises his arms and shouts, all the heroes in the world will respond. Tang Cheng is just a rebellious minister and thief who steals the country, and there is no way he will end well.

As for the letter of thanks, after he lost his legs, he already had the will to die.

The reason why he has survived so far is because the world is not stable, and he is worried about the Xie family.

Before Xie Mao mentioned Lou Yu, Xie Xin read everything about Lou Yu.

He has seen countless people, but he missed his eyes back then, which shows how deep Lou Yu's thoughts are.

Besides, Lou Yu is still so young.

Xie Xin firmly believes that if Lou Yu is in charge of the world, he will definitely create an unprecedented prosperity and prosperity.

However, Xie Xin tried to assassinate Lou Yu.

He never thought that a person like Lou Yu would really let his enemy go.

The Hulugu incident was planned by him alone, and has nothing to do with the rest of the Xie family.

Xie Xin only hoped that after his death, Lou Yu could give the Xie family a face for the sake of the Xie family's loyalty to the Lou family.

Even if he died, he had to die well.

Tang Cheng grabbed Xie Xin's hair and said viciously: "Ask your son to open the door for you, or I will cut your flesh with one knife at a time. I know you are not afraid of death, so are you afraid of Ling Chi? Can your son do it?" Watching you being tortured?"

Xie Xin asked back: "Even if you invade the imperial city, what can you do? The Lou family blood in the world can really allow you to steal the country? Tang Cheng, why don't you listen to what people outside say about you? This world will never be yours!" From the Tang family!"

Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, "Then I'll let you open your eyes wide to see how I changed Jiang Shan's surname to Tang!"

"Tang's traitor! Anyone who sees him will be punished!" Xie Xin suddenly yelled.

With disheveled hair and a crazy appearance, he shouted to Tang Cheng's subordinates: "You are going against the sky! There will be no good results!"

Xie Ce mourned so much that he stood on the top of the city tower, held up his long sword, and sobbed, "Tang's traitor! Anyone who sees this will be punished!"

The rest of the loyal Janissaries immediately followed suit.

"The traitor should be punished!"

"The traitor should be punished!"

"The traitor should be punished!"

Tang Cheng's soldiers couldn't help hearing this shout, and even the common people in the capital heard it.

Although they can't control the big shots fighting for power and profit, it doesn't prevent them from yelling and swearing in private, talking about each other through the square wall.

"Traitor Tang Cheng! It's hard for us to live a stable life, and he insists on making so many troubles!"

"The soup thief is indeed to be punished!"

"Hey, what can we do? Thieves Tang won't let us leave the city, and people from outside the city won't be able to enter. It seems that we are really going against the sky."

"Have you heard? Thief Tang is going to send troops to attack Ziyun Temple!"

"What! Is he crazy!"

"Why did he fight Ziyun Temple! Oh my god, what if he angered Shangxian!"

Ziyun Temple is the spiritual sustenance of many ordinary people. When they heard the news, they immediately exploded.

The people in the city were very anxious, but they couldn't get out.

The common people outside the city are not like that.

They don't need to fight the imperial city to grab the throne, but they absolutely can't destroy the Taoist holy land!

Seeing that Tang Jun was about to run wild in the Taoist sect, the common people were impulsive and ran to the foot of Ziyun Mountain together, carrying hoes and kitchen knives one by one, and blocked their way full of righteous indignation.

Leading general: "..."

Although he wants to rebel, he doesn't want to kill ordinary people indiscriminately.

Once started, things are not easy to clean up.

He tried to look gentle and polite.

"Folks, don't worry. We entered the temple just to find some things. Don't block the way. We will go down the mountain as soon as we find something. We will definitely not hurt the priests in the temple."

The common people looked suspicious.

"Why are you looking for something to bring so many people?"

The general said: "I don't know where it is, I need more people to find it, so it's quick."

"Look for something, what are you doing with so many weapons, and bows and arrows!"

"...We are soldiers, of course we carry weapons with us."

"Where is Purple Cloud Temple? That's the land of the Immortals! You go up with so many weapons, what if you bump into the Immortals!"

"Yes, yes, you don't want to pollute the holy land of the fairy family!"

Everyone in Tang Jun: "..."

The generals say whatever they want, but the people don't listen.

He suddenly changed his face, and said viciously: "If you don't get out of the way, if you delay the matter of the general, I will not be polite!"

"Let's see, why are you so rude!"

The general drew his sword straight out, slashing at the people in their prime.

He really just wanted to scare the other party, but suddenly a cold arrow shot from the side, and the knife in his hand missed!

"Ahhhhh! Killing! Killing!"

"As expected of the traitors of the Tang Party, even innocent people will not be spared!"

Someone in the crowd roared angrily.

The common people were frightened by the thrill just now, and when they heard this, their hearts were instantly ignited with anger.

A young Taoist priest stood on the steps with a bow and arrow in his hand, and said calmly, "Don't hurt innocent people in a battle between strategists."

The Taoist priests in Ziyun Temple don't just study Taoism and alchemy. Of course, they also learn other skills. Otherwise, how can they open the altar for others?

Archery is their basic quality, and what they practice is their eyesight and accuracy.

Many Taoist priests appeared behind him, all holding wooden bows and arrows in their hands.

Immortal demeanor, with a sense of righteousness.

With them taking the lead, the people became even more excited and resentful.

A group of Tang troops are in a dilemma.

Not only them, but the morale of the Tang army in front of the imperial city was also low.

To be honest, not everyone wants to be a villain.

Tang Cheng's high-ranking generals are okay, anyway, as long as Tang Cheng wins the country, they will definitely be rewarded for their merits.

But the soldiers below don't think so.

At best, they are here to heap human lives.

When they were in the northwest, they could still fight to defend their home and country, but now, what the hell is going on?

Seeing that a loyal minister and general like Xie Xin suffered such humiliation, many people couldn't stand it.

Ning Enhou Xie Xin, he also made great contributions back then.

The chants of "rebels should be punished" on the city tower hit the hearts of everyone, making them even more depressed.

So, why rebel?

It's not that life can't go on.

Who the hell is happy to buy someone's ambition with their lives.

When they were Huo's army before, they had never been so aggrieved!

Their long knives should have been aimed at the northern barbarians, not the Dasheng emperor and compatriots.

Xie Xin noticed the low morale of Tang Jun, so when Tang Cheng was furious, he suddenly propped up his body and stretched out his hand to draw Tang Cheng's saber.

But before touching the hilt of the sword, he was kicked away by Tang Cheng!

This kick used [-]% strength.

Xie Xin's internal organs seemed to be displaced, and the place where he was kicked was in unbearable pain.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xie Ce held the sword tightly with his right hand, biting his lip with blood.

Seeing his father being treated like this with his own eyes is nothing less than heart-wrenching pain.

He stared at Tang Cheng with hatred in his eyes.

Tang Cheng sneered coldly: "Xie Ce, are you going to watch your father seek death like this? If you obey and open the palace gate, I will let Xie's family live, how about it?"

Xie Ce gritted his teeth.

Tang Cheng continued: "Did your mother and your brother hide in the Taoist temple? Don't worry, your family will be reunited soon."

Xie Ce's chest kept rising and falling.

Xie Xin clutched his chest and said in a hoarse voice: "Tang Cheng, do you know why Ziyun Temple is so popular?"

"I am impatient to listen to your nonsense."

Xie Xin continued on his own: "Because it is the hope of the people. Now, you want to smash their hope with your own hands, what do you think will happen to them?"

"It's just a bunch of unarmed fools!"

Tang Cheng was not afraid at all.

The soldiers in Tang's army became more and more upset when they heard the words.

So in the eyes of the general, are the people just fools?

Their relatives are also the people of Dasheng. Could it be that they are worthless in the eyes of the general?

The kick just now broke Xie Xin's internal organs.

He knew he was dying.

He strutted his arms stiffly, little by little, in front of everyone, and struggled to climb towards the closed palace door.

This door can't stop Tang Cheng's ambition at all.

But the human heart can stop it.

Blood gushed out of his mouth and spread under him.

He dragged his broken body, leaving a bright red and indelible mark on the bluestone slab that he had walked countless times.

Winding, dazzling.

Everyone watched silently, even Tang Cheng didn't stop him.

Everyone knew that Xie Xin was going to die.

Xie Xin held his last breath and leaned against the palace gate.

Dirty blood smeared against the vermilion palace gate, and for a moment it was hard to tell which was more red.

With his last breath he roared:

"Thief Tang, if you want to enter the palace gate, just step over Lao Tzu's corpse!"

After saying that, he died out of breath.

A pair of gray eyes were still staring at Tang Cheng.

The wind in May is slightly hot, but it makes people feel cold all over.

What Xie Xin said and did ignited a fire that could start a prairie fire in the hearts of the soldiers stationed in the imperial city, and at the same time deeply shook the morale of the soldiers outside the palace.

Xie Ce burst into tears, and shouted with all his strength: "Defend the imperial city to the death!"

Everyone shouted loudly.

"Defend the imperial city to the death!"

"Defend the imperial city to the death!"

"Defend the imperial city to the death!"

When the nearby people heard about it, they felt sad and burst into tears.

Their hearts were also ignited with blood.

Tang Cheng's generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

How is this fight going?

At the time of the stalemate in the capital, Lou Yu convened a meeting of the generals in the Laizhou camp.

"To the west of Laizhou is Kunzhou. According to the previous information, Tang Cheng specially arranged a lot of confidants in Kunzhou to guard against us, and also added a lot of garrisons."

Huo Yan nodded: "There are 1 troops stationed in Kunzhou, including thousands of Northwest Army, and the rest he cobbled together from other state capitals. He wanted to use Kunzhou as the first line of defense, but ignored the rest of the states. The fragility of the government."

"But Commander," Li Shu scratched his head and said, "It's not appropriate for us to fight other state capitals, after all, they are far away."

Lou Yu laughed and said, "Commander Huo means that as long as we break through Kunzhou, the rest of the state capital will be nothing to worry about."

"Yes!"

In fact, there is not only one Kunzhou within the west of eight states, Gyeongju seems to be able to detour from other state capitals and attack the remaining state capitals with weak troops first.

But if the Qing army broke through the rest of the state capitals and then went to the capital, but left the rear area with [-] soldiers in Kunzhou, wouldn't it be an enemy?

[-] soldiers and horses are enough to break through the eight states and intercept the Qing army's logistics.

Therefore, there must be a battle between the Qing army and the Kun army.

Only by capturing Kunzhou can the Qing army fully advance to the capital.

The terrain of Kunzhou is not complicated, and the state capital is flat and extremely open.

But because it was not complicated, the Qing army could only attack the city head-on.

There is no such thing as a sneak attack.

Attack it five times, encircle it ten times.

The Qing army has [-] soldiers and horses, which is five times that, and they can fight.

But since ancient times, frontal siege battles have been extremely fierce. If you want to capture a city, you can basically only use human lives to pile it up.

Lou Yu confessed: "For this siege, weapons such as bed crossbows and thunderbolts are indispensable."

The bed crossbow can shoot extremely thick arrows, which are quite lethal. Not only that, if the arrows are inserted on the city wall, it will help soldiers climb the city wall.

The ladder is easy to be overturned, but what about the arrow?

After the research and improvement of Zhentianlei, although it can't smash the solid city wall, it is still possible to bomb the city gate.

He hopes to use these weapons to end the war as soon as possible and reduce casualties as much as possible.

The guard of Kunzhou is called Cai Ren, who is the confidant of Tang Cheng personally cultivated, and he is loyal to Tang Cheng.

As for the magistrate, he has no right to speak at all about the war.

He was huddling in a chair, and asked Cai Ren anxiously: "Listen, I heard that the Qing army has reached the border between the two states, and they will call soon."

Cai Ren glanced at him: "Are you scared?"

Prefect: "..."

Cai Rendao: "As far as I know, the Qing army has never fought a few battles. Unlike us, who have spent so many years drinking wind and sand in the northwest, and fought so many times with the barbarians, do we need to be afraid of them?"

The magistrate couldn't help saying: "But King Dong'an's general is Huo Yan, and that's the Huo family."

Cai Ren squinted his eyes: "We have sufficient food and grass, strong city walls, bows and arrows, rolling logs, and hot oil. With 1 people, are we afraid that we won't be able to stop the Qing army?"

He snorted lightly.

"Siege, how can it be so easy?"
