Treacherous ministers have deep routines

It was a little rain at night, and the weather was much cooler.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, the army had already set off from the small city, ready to march towards Xuanyang.

They were unimpeded all the way, and they came under the various city gates without any resistance.

The horseshoes "tapped" on the slightly slippery ground, the army had already reached the gate of Xuanyang City, and the army lined up neatly facing the south gate of the Imperial City Nangong.

The South City Gate crosses the Xuanyang River inside and out. Logically speaking, it is not easy for the army to enter the palace from here.

But Wei Man also had his reasons for choosing to enter through the south gate.

Naturally, it was because of the newly appointed Lieutenant Xuan Yang.

The newly appointed Lieutenant Xuanyang was very scared when he heard about Wei Man. Although he was not Tong Gao's minion, he was promoted to Lieutenant Xuanyang by Tong Gao, fearing that he would be involved.

Therefore, Lieutenant Xuan Yang secretly contacted Wei Man, preparing to surrender to Wei Man.

The two of them agreed in advance to open the south city gate and ask the rebels to drive straight in, without spending any troops to break into Xuanyang.

Lieutenant Xuanyang saw Wei Man's army approaching, he was very afraid, he hurriedly stepped on the pattering spray, went up to meet him, and said respectfully: "The humble general respects the general who enters the city!"

He said, and hurriedly said to the cronies behind him: "What are you waiting for?! Open the city gate and welcome the Hussar General!"

"Boom--!!!"

The towering and heavy city gate slowly opened. This city gate is not like the gate of a small city, which can be breached by siege vehicles. If you want to break through the south gate that leads directly to the Nangong, you will lose your troops.

Now Lieutenant Xuan Yang opened the door for them, which is really great.

Wei Man looked at the city gate wide open, couldn't help smiling, narrowed his eyes, and said, "March!!"

With Wei Man's order, the large army of the rebel army marched out loudly, stepping on the wet and slippery Nancheng road, rushing in unimpeded all the way.

The vanguard had already entered, so Wei Man took Lin Rang and drove away to the palace.

At this time, there was chaos in the Huang Palace. Although the soldiers were holding on to their weapons, they had no momentum at all. Seeing the large group of people rushing in, they were so scared that they backed up repeatedly, and they dared not make a sound.

Sitting on the horse, Wei Man pretended to be serious and cold, and said loudly: "Surrender and don't kill! Those who help the evildoers will be killed!"

When the imperial guards heard this, they looked left and right. At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of "da da da" running, and a soldier with the appearance of a herald rushed out from the back road deep in the Nangong, shouting: "It's not good! No! alright!"

"Ying Zhi escaped!"

"Ying Zhi escaped!"

Ying Zhi rescued Tong Gao in Juyang City a few days ago, thinking that he could turn the tide, but after returning to Xuanyang, his morale was greatly reduced, and along the way he received many news that the city had defected to Wei Man.

The armaments in the palace were not ready yet, Wei Man had already led his troops to kill, Ying Zhi knew that something was wrong, so he took his money and ran for his life.

Ying Zhi in the movie, after Tong Gao was killed, also prepared to flee for his life, but at that time Ying Zhi had a counselor named "Duan Su".

Duan Su advised him, telling Ying Zhi that there is only one way to escape, and that it is better to fight to the end.

In this way, Yingzhi hijacked the emperor and controlled the government for four full years. He was the local emperor for four years, and he could be said to be Tong Gao's second.

But it's a pity that Ying Zhi doesn't have Duan Su by his side.

At this moment, Mr. Duan Su has followed Wei Man and has become Wei Man's counselor.

Ying Zhi, who had nothing to offer advice, chose to run away after all.

Ying Zhi left behind the soldiers who were born and died, and ran away again.

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock. They felt that if they resisted to the end, there would be no room for change.

Then I heard the sound of "crack!", "crack!".

The soldiers of the Forbidden Court threw their weapons on the ground one after another, and the weapons fell on the ground, causing small splashes on the wet ground.

When Wei Man saw it, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Take all the surrendered troops and count them."

"Yes!"

Xia Yuanyun immediately stepped forward to sort out the surrendered soldiers.

Wei Man said to the herald just now: "Where is Tong thief?!"

The herald turned pale with fright, and said, "No... I don't know, it seems... It seems that I also escaped. The villain just saw that Tong thief seems... seems to be heading for Dichuan Garden..."

Dichuan Garden!

When Wei Man fled Xuanyang with Lin Rang and Xiao Baozi, he first hid in the Dichuan Garden.

Dichuan Garden is a royal garden in the imperial palace, with rockery waterfalls and countless garden pools. The terrain is very complicated, so it is very suitable for hiding.

There is also a west gate near Dichuan Garden, from which you can leave Xuanyang directly.

Wei Man narrowed his eyes, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Yuan Yun, close Xuanyang City, and not even one of the twelve city gates can be opened! Watch out for it, and arrest Tong Thief!"

"Yes!"

As Wei Man said, he immediately got on his horse, "嗤—" he drew his sword out of its sheath, and said to Lin Rang who was behind him, "Lin Rang, you stay in Nangong, don't wander around, I'm going to chase Tong thief, hurry up!" Back!"

Lin Rang nodded. He knew that he was not good at riding horses or martial arts. Following Wei Man at this time would be like holding back, so he didn't follow him.

Wei Man got on his horse and said to Lin Rang, "Wait for me!"

As he spoke, he immediately drank his horse and rushed towards the Fudao of the Nangong, preparing to enter the Beigong from the Fudao and then turn to Dichuan Garden.

They entered the South Palace from the South City Gate and crossed the complex road to the North Palace. Dichuan Garden is located to the west of the North Palace. The door ran away.

Lin Rang looked at the back of Wei Man galloping away on Jueying, and couldn't help murmuring softly, "My lord, be careful."

Wei Man's voice quickly disappeared into the back road, as if it had entered the mouth of a wild beast, and disappeared...

Lin Rang urged the horse to turn his head, preparing to stay in Nangong to rest for a while, but just as he turned his head, he heard a sound of "啪哔!", and looked down, it turned out that his bone flute suddenly fell from his waist for some reason go down.

The bone flute was given to Lin Rang by Lu Jinyu. It looks like a flute, but it is actually a hidden weapon. When the bone flute is opened, there is a dagger inside, which is just for self-defense.

Therefore, Lin Rang always carried it with him. Although Wei Man always felt that Lin Rang was very unhappy with the obstinacy sent by his love rival, he had to say that this bone flute was very convenient and even saved his life.

So although Wei Man was not reconciled, he still let Lin Rang take self-defense.

Lin Rang's bone flute fell to the ground suddenly. He was riding on the horse, and the bone flute fell to the ground.

When Lin Rang saw it, he quickly got off his horse and went to pick up his bone flute.

He picked up the bone flute and stroked the shattered crack twice.

After such a caress, I suddenly felt something was wrong...

Because the bone flute is wet, but it's not rain, but... a slippery touch.

Lin Rang put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, a crack finally appeared on his usually calm and indifferent face, and said, "Oil."

It rained lightly last night, but it stopped soon. Wei Man and Lin asked a group of people to come to Xuanyang and found that the ground was wet. They thought that there was more rain in Xuanyang City, so the ground was so wet .

They stepped into Xuanyang and entered the south city gate with "rainwater", but they didn't expect...

This is not some kind of rain, the rain in Xuanyang City is not so heavy, it has dried up last night, and what is sprayed on the ground is not rain at all, but oil!

Lin Rang said "嗡——!" in his mind.

Oil!

He couldn't help but think of Zhong Tonggao's actions.

In order to move the capital to Xin'an, Tong Gao not only dug up the imperial tombs, destroyed the temples, looted the rich and the common people, but also...

The entire Xuanyang was burned down.

Those who entered Xuanyang later could get nothing but a once prosperous ruin.

Lin Rang made a "噗——" in his mind, and said to himself, "It's a trap..."

Tong Gao wants to burn the entire Xuanyang City, and wants this ancient capital to be buried with him!

Thinking of this, Lin Rang couldn't calm down anymore. If Tong Gao really set fire to it, there would be so much oil on the ground, and the palace was made of wood, it would be difficult to extinguish the fire.

Not only that, Lin Rang also discovered that all the water tanks used for firefighting in the palace were empty.

Tong Gao is clearly prepared for everything, he wants to die with Wei Man, the rebel army, and even the people in Xuanyang City!

Lin Rang turned pale for a moment, and immediately got on his horse, commanding loudly in a cold voice: "There is oil on the ground, and Tong Gao wants to set fire to Xuanyang."

"what?!"

"Oil!"

"Tong Gao is going to set fire to the city!"

"What should we do? What should we do?! Tong Gao is so cruel that he asked us to be buried with him?!"

Lin Rang was the calmest one. Not only did he have a calm face, so as not to make waves, but he also commanded the soldiers calmly, saying: "Don't panic, go find water to wash! A team of people evacuated the people of Xuanyang City, and let the people go to the Cross the Xuanyang River in the south, and the rest of the people will disperse with me, looking for Tong Gao! Don't let him set fire!"
