Tongzhou is a tough nut to crack. The last time the Qing army was able to break through Tongzhou overnight, it was thanks to the infiltration of special forces and Zhang Xian's incompetence.

A situation like this can no longer be replicated.

Moreover, this time Tongzhou has a total of 2 defenders, and the defender is also Tang Cheng's favorite general named Wei Xing.

Wei Xingding has made plans to defend Tongzhou to the death.

If they want to take Tongzhou, the Qing army must win by surprise.

Li Shu asked, "What's so surprising?"

Huo Yan replied: "Tongzhou is close to the capital. If the capital rushes to help after getting the news, it will be bad for us. Therefore, we must cut off the connection between the capital and Tongzhou in advance."

The Qing Army had already captured Kunzhou, and there was still some time before the news reached the capital. They could take the opportunity to quickly conquer the weakly defended state capital and head straight to Tongzhou.

When they arrived in Tongzhou, perhaps the capital had already received the news.

Facing the approach of the Qing Army, how could Tang Cheng not be worried?

He will definitely send additional reinforcements to Tongzhou.

Li Shudao: "There are about [-] troops in the capital. What if Tang Cheng brings these [-] troops to face us when we attack Tongzhou?"

"No," Zhou Man explained, "We still have the help of King Yue."

Lou Yu smiled, "Tang Cheng stole the country, of course the King of Yue would not sit still. Tang Cheng deployed heavy troops in Kunzhou and Tongzhou to stop our Qing army, but he did not set up obstacles for the King of Yue."

"Presumably the King of Yue has raised his troops to serve the King. Once Tang Cheng captures the imperial city, he will definitely stop the King of Yue first." Huo Yan continued.

So, they will now face two situations.

One is that before they captured Tongzhou, Tang Cheng had already broken through the imperial city and captured Yuezhou, and then mobilized the main force to fight to the death with them in Tongzhou.

Second, when the Qing army arrived in Tongzhou, Tang Cheng had not yet captured Yuezhou, so he could only send troops to support Tongzhou. It can turn Tongzhou into an isolated city.

Zhou Man asked: "Then, what kind of strange soldiers should we use?"

Lou Yu and Huo Yan looked at each other, and they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

"The country is in trouble, how can the frontier army sit idly by?" Lou Yu said with a smile, "Before attacking Kunzhou, I wrote to Cheng Da to prepare for the battle. He must be ready to go."

The Jizhou frontier army originally had more than 5 people, but after several years of development, it has reached [-] people.

At present, the northern barbarians, like Dasheng, are in constant civil strife, and they have no time to go south to invade, so the northern border of Dasheng is still considered stable.

The deployment of [-] frontier troops has no effect on the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Huo Yan spread out the map, swiped his fingers across the northern state capital of Dasheng, and said:

"While we are marching westward, Cheng Dake led [-] cavalry to detour from the state capitals in northern Xinjiang and rush to the vicinity of Tongzhou to stand by."

The frontier army has many cavalry and is good at marching in the field, and with the support of Jizhou processing factory, they don't need to carry a lot of luggage at all, and their marching speed must be much faster than that of the Qing army.

The Qing army will also attack the state capital along the way, rest the army, and be dragged down by large engineering equipment. When they arrive in Tongzhou, Cheng Da and the others may have already arrived.

"I'll send the order to Cheng Da," Lou Yu said.

The Qing army captured Kunzhou in only one day, and after a night's rest, they set off and continued westward.

But at this time in the capital, Tang Cheng hadn't captured the imperial city yet.

The imperial guards were bloody aroused by Xie Xin's death, and defended the city desperately one by one, but the Tang army was sluggish, and it was difficult to raise their fighting spirit.

Moreover, even if Tang Cheng had a large number of troops in the Duofang courtyard and market near the imperial city, it would be difficult for him to display them on a large scale.

The corpses downstairs in the imperial city have piled up like a mountain.

The blood completely stained the inside and outside of the imperial city, and when one stepped on it, the blackened blood mixed with minced meat creaked on the sole of the shoe.

Even Tang Jun, who had experienced many wars, couldn't help but be horrified.

This is not the flesh and blood of the northern barbarian invaders, but their compatriots.

The sky is dark and the world is purgatory.

The strong smell of blood permeated inside and outside the imperial city, and the common people hid in their homes in horror. There was no one else on the street except Tang Jun who kept running.

soup house.

Tang Cheng wiped the remaining blood on the sword, and his eyes were full of hostility and madness: "The imperial guards are only a few thousand people, and most of them are probably dead, right?"

Seeing that the capital is like this, the military division inevitably felt sad.

He bowed his head and said in a low voice: "The imperial guards are indeed powerless to resist, and the food in the imperial city should be exhausted."

Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow and I will be able to break into the imperial city."

The military division remained silent.

Tang Cheng asked again: "Is there any news from Kunzhou?"

"General, Kunzhou is far away from the capital. Besides, the Qing army will not capture Kunzhou so easily, so we should stop moving forward."

Tang Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, Cai Ren is good at defending the city."

"When I occupy the capital and subdue Yuezhou, Lou Yu may still be fighting fiercely in Kunzhou."

On the eighth day of May, under the strong attack of the Tang army, the imperial city fell.

Most of the imperial guards were killed in battle, but Xie Ce and dozens of others were still fighting bloody battles.

Tang Cheng led his troops to kill dozens of people, except Xie Ce.

"Kill me if you have one!"

Xie Ce's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

Tang Cheng patted his face with his sword, and said with a smile: "It will be of great use for me to keep you."

"Zhen?" Xie Ce laughed wildly, "You really think of yourself as the emperor? Do you think you are the emperor when you invade the imperial city? Tang thief, how ridiculous you are!"

Tang Cheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He slapped Xie Ce fiercely several times, handed him over to his subordinates, and said: "Look carefully, don't let anyone die."

"Yes!"

After Xie Ce was dragged down, Tang Cheng led people straight to Guangde Hall.

In Guangde Hall, Lou Bing sat on the dragon chair with a calm expression.

He had expected such a day to come.

The palace gate could not stop Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng was covered in blood, and the tip of the sword made a harsh and sharp sound on the ground.

Blood rolled down from the sword, leaving a long series of marks on the white jade steps.

Ugly and twisted.

Tang Cheng stepped into the hall, looked up at Lou Bing on the steps, his face was hideous for a moment.

"Lou Bing, do you know what I hate the most over the past year?"

He showed his fierce face, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of malice.

"What I hate the most is your aloof appearance. You are so useless, why can you sit there!"

Lou Bing's face was like gold paper, but his tone was still steady: "You mean, I'm incompetent, so I'm not worthy to be the emperor?"

"Is not it?"

Lou Bing couldn't help laughing: "According to what you said, the throne should belong to the King of Dong'an, so why are you grabbing it? Compared to him, you are even more incompetent!"

"Him?" Tang Chengmi laughed, "You're still counting on him to save you? I'm afraid he's still trapped in Kunzhou, right? I'll kill him after I clean up the buildings!"

Lou Bing's eyes were firm: "I believe him."

Tang Cheng was so furious that he strode forward and stabbed Lou Bing with his sword!

When the tip of the sword pierced Lou Bing's body, Tang Cheng suddenly felt a surge of joy.

The so-called emperor is nothing more than that!

Suddenly, there was a chill on his neck, and he subconsciously leaned back to avoid it.

Lou Bing held a bloody long sword in his left hand, but a dagger in his right hand.

The dagger was hidden in his sleeve before, but because of a missed hit, it stabbed Tang Cheng's chest again.

However, Tang Cheng was wearing armor, Lou Bing lacked strength, the dagger only pierced a little bit of flesh, so he couldn't move forward.

Tang Cheng was furious, and suddenly drew out his long sword, then swung the dagger, and stabbed Lou Bing's waist again.

Blood gushed out, winding on the steps of the main hall.

Lou Bing stared at him "hoho", but was unable to say another word.

The sun shone in from outside the hall, igniting a ray of light in his eyes.

As Tang Cheng drew his sword again, the light quickly faded away.

On the eighth day of May in the second year of Jiaxi, Emperor Jiaxi was murdered by the traitor Tang Cheng and died in Guangde Hall.

Tang Cheng ordered people to search the entire imperial city, but they didn't even find a trace of Yuxi.

Even if Yuxi is not needed to re-establish a new dynasty, he doesn't want Yuxi to fall into the hands of others.

Especially Lou Yu.

He personally tortured Xie Ce Yuxi's whereabouts, but Xie Ce remained silent.

Tang Cheng was furious, grabbed Xie Ce's filthy hair, and said viciously: "I know that Yuxi must be in the hands of your mother and your brother. They are hiding, right?"

Xie Ce spat out a mouthful of blood foam and sprayed Tang Cheng all over his face.

There was not a single inch of good flesh on his body, and his whole body was like a puddle of mud, waiting to rot and stink in a dark prison cell.

His father had already exchanged his life for the future of the Xie family, even if he died, he would not let his father down in Jiuquan.

He is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, so he should fight for the glory of the Hou Mansion.

Tang Cheng wiped his face and said with a smile: "Since you are not afraid of death, then I will see if your mother and your brother can bear it."

As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates: "Hang Xie Ce outside the gate of Tianshu, and let Mrs. Tong and Xie Mao take a good look."

Subordinate: "..."

Tang Cheng frowned, "What?"

The subordinates obeyed immediately.

Xie Ce was dragged out of the cell like a broken sack.

Outside the cell, the military division stood alone.

He looked at Xie Ce who was in a state of embarrassment, with a bit of pity in his eyes, and advised: "Your Xie family hides the jade seal, do you want to hand it over to the King of Dong'an?"

Xie Ce lowered his head and remained silent.

The military adviser sighed: "If I remember correctly, the Xie family and the King of Dong'an are neither enemies nor friends, why should you please him?"

Xie Ce slowly raised his head, his face was dirty, and his only eyes were black and white.

"I'm not flattering him, I'm just loyal to the Xie family's beliefs. Tang Cheng perverted and endangered the country. As long as my Xie family has a little strength, I will fight to the end!"

military adviser:"……"

He regretted: "Then I can't help you."

Xie Ce said: "With your ability, why do you need to obey Tang Cheng? It's a shame."

The military division stopped talking and turned sideways to make way.

At this time, Xie Mao took the imperial edict and jade seal, disguised himself as a beggar, and ran hard on the way to Qingzhou.

He couldn't ride through the state capital openly, so he could only choose some remote paths and walk as much as possible.

Even after Shi Ming entered the city, he never experienced such suffering.

The shoes were worn out, and the soles of his feet were blistered. He was in so much pain that he almost shed tears.

After walking for several days, he arrived in Qizhou.

Because the things on his body were too important, he didn't dare to stay in a hotel anywhere, and could only sit on the ground in the wild every day, his body was so dirty that he couldn't see it, he looked like a standard beggar.

Therefore, it is meaningless for Tang Cheng to send people to investigate post envoys in various state capitals.

Qizhou has been plagued by disasters in recent years.

There was another flood, and it was once occupied by the Tiansheng Sect, and the prefect of Qizhou was incompetent, so Qizhou was very depressed.

After Emperor Jiaxi ascended the throne, the world has been stable for more than a year, and the prefectures near Gyeonggi have restored order. There are few bandits and refugees. Therefore, Xie Mao is relatively safe all the way.

But Qizhou is different.

The common people were not able to live a good life, so a small number of them turned into bandits and robbed the property of passers-by.

Although Xie Mao was dressed in rags, the gangster had sharp eyesight, he saw that his arms were slightly bulging, and he was sneaking around, his eyes were vigilant, so he guessed that there might be some valuable treasure hidden on his body.

Such a fat sheep who is alone, who else will be robbed?

The bandits rushed forward and surrounded Xie Mao.

The leader said viciously: "Hand over the treasure on your body!"

The rest of the bandits agreed.

"Hand over it!"

"Hand over it!"

Xie Mao was terrified, and said with a pale face: "All strong men, I am just a beggar, how can I have any treasure on me?"

"Hehe," the leader's eyes fell on his chest, "Such a big baby, think we are blind!"

Xie Mao quickly said: "This is my broken bowl for begging for food, it's really not a treasure!"

"Hey!" The leader said with a sneer, "Your accent, you are from the capital, right? You are a beggar, and you are not begging in the capital, what are you doing in our small place? Stop talking nonsense, hand it over! Otherwise, my brother You are welcome!"

Xie Mao had a bitter face: "Don't the strong men know? The capital is in chaos! I'm a beggar, and I was worried about being killed by mistake, so I had to come out to avoid the limelight."

The capital is in chaos, and the gangsters have somewhat heard about it.

They looked at Xie Mao dubiously.

The leader said: "Then you take out the broken bowl and show us."

Xie Mao: "..."

He slowly stretched out his hand to the hem of his clothes, grabbed more than a dozen copper coins from the clothes, and then he stretched out his hand, and the copper coins smashed towards the bandits and fell to the ground.

It is a fool not to pick up money!

The bandits immediately bent down to pick up the copper coins.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Mao turned around and ran away.

The leader felt that he had been fooled, so he was so angry that he knocked on the heads of the gangsters, "Pick up a fart! Hurry up and chase!"

Xie Mao ran ahead alone, while a group of bandits chased after him.

After all, he was born in a family of military generals, Xie Mao didn't care about it before, but he still has a solid foundation.

In normal times, he might have left them far away, but now he is exhausted, with blisters on his feet, and it hurts so much to run.

My mind says I need to run faster, but my feet don't listen at all.

It's so fucking painful!

Hearing the approaching footsteps behind him, Xie Mao couldn't help but burst into tears.

You can't lose the jade seal and imperial edict!

At this moment, a group of people appeared in front of them.

He quickly waved his hands and shouted: "Help! Help!"

The team was approaching, surrounded by a group of tall and mighty men guarding the carriage, wearing uniform clothes.

Xie Mao could tell at a glance that this was the nursing home of a wealthy family.

When the owner of the carriage heard the cry for help, he lifted the curtain to look.

A group of gangster-like people were chasing a beggar-like person.

The beggar couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell that he was young, so he was a poor man.

So he ordered his left and right: "Save that boy."

The nurse stepped forward immediately.

A group of gangsters stopped and dared not move forward when they saw the mighty guard.

Xie Mao hid behind the nurses, covering his beating heart.

Almost, just a little bit.

He almost became a sinner of the Xie family and a sinner of the whole world.

The gangsters knew the current affairs and didn't dare to confront the nursing home, so they had to run away in all directions.

Xie Mao immediately nodded and bowed his thanks to the owner of the carriage.

He didn't dare to use standard etiquette, for fear of being spotted by others.

The owner of the carriage responded politely, and then ordered the nursing home to move on.

Xie Mao was originally worried that he would not be able to get through the road ahead, but when he saw that this group of people was going the same way as him, he brazenly followed behind the group.

The nurse reported this matter to the master, and the master generously said: "Let him follow."

As the team headed east, Xie Mao felt more and more strange as he followed.

This is clearly going the same way as him!

He found it strange, and so did the group of nurses.

The nursing home reported to the master: "Master, that little beggar actually has money to buy food."

The owner of the carriage said, "Then it might not be a beggar."

The guard asked vigilantly: "Then do you want the villain to drive him away?"

"No need." The owner of the carriage said, "King Dong'an has captured Fengzhou and will arrive in Qizhou in a few days. Maybe that little beggar is the same as us."

The nursing home couldn't help but said: "Master, do you really want to dedicate your family wealth to King Dong'an?"

The owner of the carriage sighed: "The Tang thief steals the country, and only the king of Dong'an can help the country. I read every issue of "Gyeongju Xun Bao" literally, and I am impressed by the mind and ambition of the king of Dong'an. After Fengzhou It is Qizhou, the Qizhou garrison is under Tang Cheng's orders, and there will be a battle at that time."

Instead of waiting for the Qing army to attack the city, it is better to surrender first.

Toyosu camp.

Lou Yu leaned on the couch with his eyes closed, while Huo Yan massaged his head.

Since the breakthrough of Kunzhou, the Qing army has been in full swing, attacking two cities one after another, and stopped to rest in Fengzhou.

The morale of the army is high and the spirit is high.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Lou Yu was naturally infected by this emotion. The adrenaline kept soaring, the blood in his chest was boiling, and he urgently needed to vent.

He suddenly grabbed Huo Yan's hand, pulled him to the edge of the couch and sat down.

The simple wooden bed bears the weight of two people at once, and it squeaks in dissatisfaction.

Huo Yan was dressed in thin armor, his hair was tied up neatly, and his crown was plain and unadorned.

He has been crowned after the year.

He is heroic and heroic.

Lou Yu reached out to caress his sharp and handsome eyebrows, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Kiss me."

With deep eyes, Huo Yan bowed his head and kissed his lips.

The fierce battle made both of them excited.

Huo Yan supported the back of Lou Yu's head, and his arms were bulging with veins. In the constant competition, the two of them exerted themselves more and more.

As if to swallow each other into the stomach.

Lou Yu knew that he was too excited, but he didn't want to stop, he was immersed in this emotion and couldn't extricate himself.

Thrilling and captivating.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside the tent.

Huo Yan had to let go, and stared fiercely at Lou Yu.

The person who came was Li Shu.

After he entered the account, seeing Huo Yan's brows furrowed, he couldn't help asking worriedly: "My lord, is something wrong?"

Lou Yu took a deep breath and said in a steady tone, "No, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh, that's right, another person came outside and asked to see the prince."

Since the Qing army captured Kunzhou, people from all states have come to surrender.

Some came here sincerely with all their belongings;

It is the aspiration of the people that the king of Dong'an inherit the great rule, and many people bet their fortunes on Lou Yu.

The icing on the cake is far less than the timely charcoal.

The King of Dong'an has an army of [-] and so many war horses, how could it be possible that he doesn't need money?

As a result, rich people from all over the world responded to the call of "Qin Wang" and brought money and goods to show their support.

Lou Yu was originally very rich, but because of road construction, his private treasury was almost exhausted.

The property of these people can indeed help him.

However, the property can be accepted, the name can be recorded, and it is almost impossible to meet in person.

Unless the other party brought a peerless treasure.

Lou Yu lazily said: "Follow the old rules."

But Li Shu said: "My lord, someone said that there is something very important to hand over to you."

"who?"

"A beggar, if you ask him what his name is, he won't say it."

Lou Yu: "..."

He said: "What?"

Li Shu shook his head: "He said he can only take it out after seeing you."

Usually they would send away such people, but this beggar came with a member outside, and for the sake of the member's generosity, Li Shu did not send the beggar away.

He told Lou Yu about the situation.

Lou Yu pondered and said, "A Yuanwai and a beggar, this combination is very interesting. You said that Yuanwai is from Qizhou, what's his name?"

"His name is Wang Xun."

Lou Yu's eyes widened slightly, the name sounded so familiar, he must have heard it somewhere!

Qizhou, Wang Xun.

Isn't that the member who cultivated cotton?

Lou Yu became interested and said, "Go and bring Wang Xun and that beggar here."

"Yes!"

After Li Shu retreated, Lou Yu straightened his hair and skirt, and sat behind the table.

Huo Yan stood aside, acting as a guard.

After a while, Li Shu led the two of them to the tent.

Before seeing the king of Dong'an, he must be searched.

Wang Xun asked people to search him very gracefully, but when it was Xie Mao's turn, he refused.

Xie Mao crossed his arms and begged to look at Li Shu.

Li Shu frowned: "What are you doing!"

"Things can only be given to the King of Dong'an!"

He recognized Li Shu.

When Lou Yu was still the king of Dong'an in the capital, Xie Mao met him and knew that he was Lou Yu's confidant, so he dared to tell him that he had something important to give to Lou Yu.

But no matter what, before meeting Lou Yu, he can't reveal his identity, and he can't take out things casually!

Li Shu had a good temper, but Xie Mao made him impatient.

"You must search your body before entering the account. You are hiding it like this, do you have a ghost in your heart!"

Xie Mao shook his head quickly: "I, I know King Dong'an, I really gave him something!"

Inside the camp, both Lou Yu and Huo Yan heard the quarrel outside, but Huo Yan's hearing was stronger, and he recognized Xie Mao's voice.

Then he said to Lou Yu, "It's Xie Mao."

Lou Yu raised his eyebrows, "Unbelievable."

Xie Mao came from the capital and said that there was something important for him, and Lou Yu could think of it with his toes.

It's just that I didn't expect that Lou Bing would entrust this kind of task to Xie Mao.

But think about it, the organization cultivated by the royal family is only good at collecting intelligence and delivering news, and may not be qualified for this task.

Moreover, compared to those organizations, Xie Mao was indeed easier for him to believe.

On the point of being loyal to the royal family, the Xie family was beyond doubt.

The fact that Lou Bing sent out the imperial edict and the jade seal was not in the plan taught by Lou Yu, it was Lou Bing's own plan, so Lou Yu's dark part didn't come in handy.

He looked at Huo Yan, "Let them in."

Huo Yan walked outside the tent, his eyes fell on Xie Mao's face.

Xie Mao was pleasantly surprised, and quickly pulled his messy hair, revealing a jet-black face: "Commander Huo! It's me!"

Huo Yan: "Come in."

Wang Xun on the side: "..."

This little beggar actually knew the commander of the Qing army!

Who doesn't know that there is only one Commander Huo under Dong'an King's command?

Wang Xun's heart was galloping, and he lowered his head in shock and entered the tent.

However, Commander Huo seems a little familiar.

After entering the account, Wang Xun first knelt down and saluted.

"Villain Wang Xun, pay homage to King Dong'an."

But I heard a familiar voice from above, as bright as jade.

"Mr. Hongzhai, we meet again after a long absence, are you safe?"
