Raiders Guide

After a few days of peace and quiet, Ji Muxian was writing an inscription in the study when Qu Zhuohua broke in through the window suddenly: "There is..."

Ji Muxian asked without raising her head, "What's the matter?"

"The lady's sleeve next to Concubine Chen was poisoned this morning. Although the people I sent treated him in time, he was still in a coma." Qu Zhuohua gritted his teeth and said, "This is probably what happened to my aunt back then. The person involved is the only insider, so they are in a hurry to silence her."

Ji Muxian put down his pen, gritted his teeth and said, "Treat her well. When she wakes up, ask her better. I want to make life worse for those who framed my mother and concubine, and make them regret what they did to my lonely mother and concubine."

Qu Zhuohua was also furious: "In the past few years, they have been cheap."

"There is always a price to pay for what you have done." Ji Muxian rapped on the table with her fingers: "When the sleeves wake up, they will pay the price."

The prince's party has been stable for too long, and life can never be so smooth.

Ji Muxian and Qu Zhuohua planned well, but people are not as good as heaven, and the plan will never keep up with the changes. Before Xiuer wakes up, the sky is already in chaos.

Emperor Zhaohe looked at the urgent report in his hand, his face was ashen, and his voice was raised in vain: "How could General Yan's life or death be uncertain? Why did the Khitan drive straight in?"

The scout who reported the letter was still breathing, and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, for some reason, the Khitan seemed to know about General Yan's defenses. After resting for a month, they attacked in. When the city was broken, General Yan led the soldiers to resist. , and was chased by the Khitan army all the way to the end, the general had no choice but to send someone to send me to break through the siege to deliver a letter, and Mr. Yan Wu went to find the general.

Now that the life and death of the two of them is uncertain, it seems to be a disaster. The general asked me to tell His Majesty that the frontier has been breached and there are spies in the army. Please make plans early. The Khitan will seize the time to break through Tongguan and enter Chang'an! "

The frontier was destroyed, the morale of the Khitan army Ding was greatly increased, they drove straight all the way, entered Chang'an, all the ministers in the palace turned pale, Yan Ziyuan lost all blood, and almost fell down.

Yan Yurong and Yan Yuteng are both his sons. After experiencing the pain of bereavement, is he going to lose his second son in a row?

Yan Yushu froze on the spot, a chill went from the soles of his feet to his heart, making him unable to move for a long time.

His face was as pale as paper, and at this moment, he didn't know how to overwhelm the river, tearing his heart and crying blood, Ji Muxian made a decisive decision, took a step forward and knelt down and said: "Father, now that the frontier is broken, there are less than [-] soldiers left in Tongguan, and they can't stand against Khitan." Dajun, please agree with the emperor immediately, move the capital to Luoyang, and guard the Zhongzhou area, so as to find a way out."

Now defending Chang'an is just waiting for the Khitan army to break through Chang'an and destroy Dasheng. Everyone in the hall knew this and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please move the capital to Luoyang as soon as possible!"

The prince stood alone in the hall, standing out among the chickens. Emperor Zhaohe looked at him and asked coldly, "Prince, what proposal do you have?"

The prince came back to his senses, blushed, knelt down and said, "Please move the capital to Luoyang!"

Yan Yushu knelt on the ground, looked at the bright red blanket in front of him, and came to his senses, his first reaction was to look at the prince's face.

The prince's face was flushed, and his face was covered with cold sweat. It was too wrong, and the whole person was in extreme panic.

This is too wrong, this is too wrong, although everyone in the hall is also panicked, but they are not sweating like him.

Emperor Zhaohe's voice was cold, with majesty without anger, "Immediately post a notice, and all the people will leave and move to the Zhongzhou area immediately. We will not sleep today. Everyone is ready to go, abandon unnecessary things, and set off for Luoyang tomorrow."

"Report!"

As soon as Emperor Zhaohe's voice fell, there was an urgent report outside the Meridian Gate, and the ministers in the palace all raised the big stone in their hearts.

The scouts crawled into the palace: "Your Majesty! The Khitan army has already attacked Tongguan!"

Tongguan, when the scouts first came to Chang'an, I don't know if Tongguan was broken.

Yu Fang took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Khitans have already attacked Tongguan. If you don't defend Chang'an, the people may not have time to move, and your Majesty will also need time to evacuate. If you let the Khitan army chase you, you may not be able to reach Luoyang. When His Majesty leaves, the people of Chang'an must be panicked."

Ji Muxian then said: "Father, my son will stay to guard Chang'an, and we will end the queen for everyone. My son is a prince, and he can stabilize the hearts of the people for my father."

The hall became quiet, leaving only the sound of clear breathing. Everyone knew that those who stayed behind would surely die a narrow escape, and there was almost no possibility of surviving to Luoyang. No one wanted to be left behind, so Ji Muxian did this , undoubtedly like a fool who wants to die.

Yan Yushu raised his eyes to look at Ji Muxian, took a deep breath, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I am the national teacher, and your majesty is not here. I should help you stabilize the people's minds for your majesty, and ensure that tens of thousands of people in Chang'an can evacuate Chang'an safely!"

"No." Yan Ziyuan stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and begged Emperor Zhaohe in tears: "Your Majesty, the life and death of Yurong Yuteng, my sons, is uncertain. I can't let Yushu be in danger again, please Your Majesty!"

"The great enemy is now, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is the most important thing. If everyone values ​​​​personal safety, who will fight in Dasheng? A man is for the country and the people. Father, you should be proud of your children."

Yan Yushu's words aroused the generals in the hall to be impassioned, and they all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, I wish to leave the queen!"

"Nonsense!" The right minister scolded in a low voice: "You all stay behind, who will protect His Majesty's safety?"

The voices of several generals stopped abruptly, and Emperor Zhaohe looked solemn: "I am so grateful for your loyalty to the emperor. However, I am a great general, and I must not leave behind all of them."

Emperor Zhaohe looked at the people kneeling in the hall, and raised his voice: "Get up..."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

Taiwei Yun said: "Your Majesty, the move of the capital is imminent, and the people must be panic-stricken. We need someone to stay to stabilize the people's hearts and organize the people to evacuate."

Yan Yushu bent over: "Your Majesty, I'm the best candidate. If I can't go back, there will be a national teacher. Your Majesty will make the decision."

"Yan Yushu!" Ji Muxian scolded him in a low voice, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know." Yan Yushu interrupted Ji Muxian sharply, and bowed to Emperor Zhaohe, "Your Majesty, my brother, has always been guarding the border for the people of Dasheng. Trampling, now his life and death are uncertain, I am willing to leave the queen and let the people evacuate, please do it..."

Emperor Zhaohe's complexion was heavy, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Yushu has a pure heart, I agree."

Ji Muxian's face was cold and hard, his eyes were red. Emperor Zhaohe agreed so quickly because of what Yan Yushu said.

If he can't go back, the position of the national teacher will be decided by him, the old man may wish that Yan Yushu just died in Chang'an and never lived in Luoyang.

The notice had already been posted, and as soon as Yan Yushu left the palace, Ji Muxian grabbed his wrist and pressed it against the palace wall: "Yan Yushu, why do you have to stay?"

Yan Yushu let him press with a calm expression: "My brother, in order to protect Dasheng, he betrayed Yun Jinse. The person he loves the most is to protect these hundreds of thousands of people. Now his life and death are uncertain. People outside Chang'an I I can't protect it, but Chang'an is the place where he grew up, and I want to guard it for him until the moment the city is broken."

Ji Muxian let go of his wrist. Yan Yushu was so smart, how could he not understand what staying meant, he knew it, but he was willing.

"Yan Yushu, I just can't understand you." Ji Muxian looked at Yan Yushu's expression: "In the past, I thought you were a more sensible person than anyone else, but this incident made me think that you are a soft-hearted person."

"In my heart, the most important thing is my elder brother and them. Now, Yuwan is gone, and the life and death of my elder brother Yuteng is uncertain. All I can do is try my best to fulfill his wish on his behalf. Now, I am going to see my second brother. sister."

Yan Yushu grabbed Ji Muxian's hand and took it away: "You go and get ready, we're going to order troops."

"Yan Yushu!"

Yan Yushu turned around: "What's the matter?"

"Be sure to follow me, I won't let you die."

It is a miracle that he calls himself me, not alone.

Yan Yushu smiled: "Okay..."

The frontier has been broken, the Khitan invaded Tongguan, Dasheng moved the capital to Luoyang, and the national teacher, King Chong, stayed behind to leave the queen for everyone. I hope everyone will move to the Zhongzhou area as soon as possible. As soon as this announcement came out, people panicked and Chang'an was in chaos.

Yan Yushu went to the Duke's Mansion, and along the way, there were panicked people, sorting out the valuables they could bring.

Yan Yuping waited for Yan Yushu early, Yan Yushu entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and when he entered, he saw Yan Yuping waiting in the hall, no one else was present.

Yan Yushu knelt down in front of her without saying a word: "Second Sister..."

Yan Yuping stepped forward and hugged him, and asked tearfully, "Yushu, is it true that the life and death of Yurong and Yuteng are uncertain?"

"Yes……"

Yan Yuping wailed and hugged him tightly: "I can't keep you."

Yan Yushu raised his arms to hug her, threw himself into her arms and choked up crying, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances of these days: "Second sister, I will arrange someone to escort you, you have to take care of yourself."

Yan Yuping, a daughter of a noble family, has always been proud. When has she ever cried so bitterly in front of people? She hugged Yan Yushu and cried while beating him, "Second sister, I don't want you to worry about it. I only want you to come back. You have to come back alive. You have to come back alive." Luoyang see me!"

Yan Yushu's voice trembled: "I'm back, don't worry, Second Sister, I will definitely come back to see you."

"Okay, you want to come back." Yan Yuping let go of his hand, helped Yan Yushu up, and looked him up and down, "You have to protect yourself, the most important thing is to live."

Yan Yushu stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Yan Yuping's eyes: "Second Sister, you know that Sister Yun is outside the city, and I want to go with His Royal Highness King Chong to dispatch troops, please send someone to pick her up and take her to Luoyang .”

"Okay, Second Sister will send someone to pick her up right away. How many people did His Majesty leave for you?"

"Five thousand."

Yan Yuping burst into tears: "It's only five thousand? How can it stop the Khitan's army?"

Yan Yushu comforted her: "It's okay, the others have to escort His Majesty and others to leave, we are just delaying time, if we can't keep it, we will evacuate immediately, I promise you, I will come back alive."

"Okay." Yan Yuping couldn't understand that Yan Yushu was lying to comfort her. Since Yan Yushu didn't want her to worry, she just said as Yan Yushu said: "Second sister believes in you, you have to remember that with second sister, your Life is more important than anyone else."

"Yushu understands, Yushu will spare his life."

When Yan Yushu arrived at the school grounds, Ji Muxian had already assembled all the imperial guards, military guards, and twelve personal guards battalion.

The field was extremely windy and tens of thousands of people looked solemn, Ji Muxian raised his voice and said: "Everyone, those who have parents, wives and children come out! The others stay behind, and those whose father and son are in the army, the father leaves the son and goes away! If all brothers are in the army, leave the brothers behind! Parents are still alive, but if the other brothers stay at home, stay!"

"Yes!"

After the army responded in unison, they stood out of the team. Ji Muxian watched Yan Yushu approaching, smiled, and asked, "Do you want to say a few words?"

"You must have said everything that should be said, so I won't say it."

"Okay." Ji Muxian stepped forward and said: "The people who stayed this time must have escaped death! If you are lucky, you may still go to Zhongzhou to meet your relatives alive! If you are unlucky, you will just die in Chang'an like this.

But, if we don't stay, our loved ones won't have enough time to evacuate!

What we have to do is to do our best to delay Khitan's footsteps and prevent Khitan from chasing our relatives. The longer we delay, the more safe our relatives will be!

General Yan has guarded the border for me for many years!I have protected my Dasheng rivers and mountains for many years. Now, I have been victimized by spies in the army, and my life and death are uncertain. I wait for Dasheng's Qi Chierlang, and I must not lose the face of General Yan!

Today, Guhe Guoshi will also advance and retreat with everyone to defend Chang'an together, and will never retreat until the day Chang'an City is broken! "

"Never retreat!" Morale was high, and the voices of soldiers responded overwhelmingly: "Never retreat!"

Yan Yushu looked at the faces and the vivid lives, and let out a long sigh.

On the day when the Khitan army arrives, how many of these lives will be able to survive.

On the third day, Emperor Zhaohe left Chang'an with his princes, courtiers, soldiers, and countless antique treasures, and headed for Luoyang in a mighty way. The people also left one after another, and the city of Chang'an suddenly became empty.

Ji Muxian and Yan Yushu stood on the city wall and looked at the people leaving. Along the way, they were all the common people who followed Emperor Zhaohe and his party, pushing clothes, food and money, and those pulled by horse-drawn carts, all struggling to get Go where you can live.

Half of Chang'an City was empty, and there were still many people who did not leave.

On the fifth day, there were very few people left in Chang'an. Yan Yushu and Ji Muxian were walking side by side on the empty street. Yan Yushu suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

Ji Muxian smiled: "What are you afraid of? Afraid of death? Since you decided to stay, you already knew the most serious consequences. It's a pity that you didn't have time to personally avenge my mother, concubine, and my grandfather's family."

"Are you going to die?"

Ji Muxian stopped and looked down at him against the setting sun: "If I don't die, I won't let you die."

The sun was just right, making Ji Muxian radiant. Yan Yushu smiled: "I hope that our preparations these days can buy everyone a few more days."

In the past few days, he and Ji Muxian have been deploying bows, arrows and rolling stones around Chang'an City. Even in the city, the empty houses and restaurants have also been equipped with traps.

He was so busy that he didn't have time to feel sad for Yan Yurong and Yan Yuteng.
