Outside Ziyang City, the capital of the State of Wei, smoke billowed, and flags blotted out the sun.One hundred thousand troops from the Northern Yuan Dynasty surrounded the entire imperial capital, and the black army descended to the ground like dark clouds all over the sky. The terrifying murderous and bloody aura almost froze the air.

The emperor hesitated for a long time in the palace, and finally plucked up the courage to walk up the city wall. Just as he was about to wait and see, an arrow pierced through the air and passed by him. The military commander helped him in time, allowing him to barely maintain a little face.

But at this time, the others were not in the mood to secretly laugh at the emperor.The performance of more than a dozen courtiers who were with the emperor was also not much better.Those who were a little calmer still had pale faces, and those with worse psychological quality were already shaking their bodies in shock at this moment.Even the minister of the Ministry of War, who claimed to be in charge of the imperial court's military and horse mobilization, took a few steps back with his big belly, almost knocking down the guards following him with his fat body.

A burst of cheerful laughter erupted from the Northern Yuan army in the distance, and the naked ridicule made the emperor's face flush.But looking at the tent stretching for dozens of miles, and the cold blade reflecting the cold light under the sun, his anger was immediately extinguished like snow.

He chose to leave from the bottom of his heart.

And the sound of long trumpets has already sounded under the city wall.The army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was completely mobilized.

"I didn't expect the Northern Yuan army to come so fast!" Back in the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor's face was still extremely ugly, "In three days, they went down eleven cities in a row and came straight to Ziyang. Victory over those trash!"

Compared with the unparalleled offensive of the Northern Yuan army, the astonishing record of the rebel army's attacking seven cities in January was nothing.

Of course, there is a reason for the huge difference in marching speed between the two.

The style of the rebel army is much gentler. Every time they go to a city, they want to appease the local people and provide relief to the victims, and they don't want to kill too many people.

The Northern Yuan army didn't care about the life and death of the Wei people. After breaking through Wei's defense line in a quick attack, all the cities they encountered along the way were looted by the Northern Yuan army, and countless men, women and children were plundered as slaves.So it's no wonder that the Northern Yuan army marched at an astonishing speed.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, when will the Beiyan Army return to the capital?" After a long time, a minister of His Highness suddenly stood up and asked.

His question woke up all the ministers.These ministers seemed to have finally found their life, and they couldn't care less about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers for a while, so they asked questions in a hurry.

The emperor issued an imperial decree not long ago, summoning the Northern Flame Army to return to the capital to defend, preparing to go south to avoid disaster.It's just that they didn't expect the Beiyuan army to be so fast, and they were forced to the Ziyang city in three days, so they were blocked in the Ziyang city.But if the Beiyan Army can arrive in time, maybe they still have a chance to escape!

With such a fluke mentality, the ministers began to question each other.

The emperor sat paralyzed behind the imperial case, with a deep wry smile on his face.

——He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

It has been seven days since he sent the letter to Beiyan Army eight hundred miles urgently, but he has not received any news.The messenger never returned.The emperor really didn't know if there was something wrong with the Beiyan Army, or if the barbarians outside Ziyang City were playing tricks.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Manchu civil and military also understood something.They also stopped asking about the Beiyan Army, but each found an excuse to leave.As for returning home, whether to quickly pack up things and prepare to escape, or turn out pen and ink to write an article full of flowers and flowers, and prepare to surrender as soon as the city is broken, that is unknown.

The palace was also in chaos, and the servants in the palace were all anxious, and the people who were always clever and clever made frequent mistakes today.But the concubines didn't have the mood to show their prestige in front of the servants anymore, they almost blocked the road at the point where the emperor was going to court, and wanted to ask the emperor something so that they could feel at ease.Although the final result made them panic even more.

Boom, boom, drums sound outside Ziyang City, and the mighty Northern Yuan army, like mountains and seas, is rushing towards this capital city that has been around for more than 200 years.One hundred thousand troops lined up on the plain, almost endless.

Guarding Ziyang City is the Zhen'an Army, one of Wei's three powerful armies, and it was also an elite army in its early years.It's a pity that with the decline of national power over the years, incidents such as greed for military salaries and substandard military equipment have emerged in an endless stream, and this army has been pampered in Ziyang City all year round, and its combat effectiveness has long since declined a lot.

If it weren't for relying on the difficulty of attacking and defending the city wall of Ziyang, and the support of arrows provided by the emperor at any cost, it would be difficult to stalemate with the Northern Yuan army like it is now.

What's more, the entire Beiyuan was originally integrated by many foreign races in Mobei, and the barbaric habits have not faded away, and even many customs on the grassland have been retained.

For example, during a battle, the slaves lead the way, and the real soldiers charge behind, regardless of whether the slaves are dead or alive, just slashing with a knife is a slash.In order to survive, the slaves could only rush forward even harder.This ferocious aura deterred a group of Wei troops who had lived in Ziyang for a long time and had never seen blood.

Seeing the Beiyuan army rushing forward fiercely, the large group of slave soldiers leading the front were naked and skinny, but they were willing to charge arrows down the city wall one by one. Inexplicable fear arose, and the hands holding the bow and arrow trembled slightly.

Not long after, there was an uproar from the city wall on the west side. Some Beiyuan troops broke through the defense line and came under the city wall, and several towering ladders were erected.

The densely packed slave army surged upwards like an ant swarm, and the Wei army guarding the city was finally aroused by the fear of death, and one by one roared and threw their knives at the enemy.At the same time, hot golden juice was poured down on the head, and huge rocks fell from the sky like meteorites. Amidst the screams, the Northern Yuan army who had just climbed up to the top of the city fell down like dumplings.

Two days and one night passed quickly, and the dead bodies were spread all over the walls and corners.The Zhen'an army guarding the top of the city obviously began to lose their physical strength, so they could only support themselves.

But the strength of the Zhen'an army is only [-] after all, and the ordnance in the city is also limited. If there is no reinforcements, two more days of persistence may be the limit.

So the emperor issued an order, and all the young and strong in the city were confiscated on the city wall, and the originally prosperous Ziyang City was bleak overnight.

·late at night.

The emperor in the deep palace woke up from a nightmare, his pajamas were soaked in cold sweat, he was panting sharply, and his violent heartbeat had not yet calmed down, when there was a sudden noise outside the palace.

"What's the noise!"

The emperor's little eunuch waited on him impatiently and got out of bed, pushed the door and went out.Just as he was about to reprimand sharply, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

A group of fierce flames lit up in the distance, followed by the sound of fierce fighting, and a little eunuch ran over panting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It's not good, the enemy army attacked at night, and the south gate is about to lose its hold! "

"What?!" The emperor was dizzy for a moment, almost thinking that he was still in a dream, but soon he forced himself to calm down, and repeatedly ordered the servants beside him: "Quick! Find the commander of the imperial army, Lu Ping, quickly!"

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the other servants: "Go and find the prince and imperial concubine!"

But it was too late.Not long after he gave his order, there was a sound of shouting and killing in Ziyang City.The Northern Yuan army rushed in!

The emperor immediately ordered the palace gates to be sealed.Many ministers who came overnight gathered in the Qianyuan Palace. The emperor brought the crown prince and imperial concubine who came late, and the second prince who took the initiative to follow the bad situation was also among them.

Lu Ping, the commander of the forbidden army, led the only five hundred forbidden troops in the palace, and stood firmly at the gate of the palace, making the final resistance.

The atmosphere in Qianyuan Hall was extremely gloomy.

The shouts of killing pervading the imperial city continued to reach everyone's ears.Both the emperor and the prince were disheveled and embarrassed.The imperial concubine next to her was only wearing pajamas, showing her exquisite curves, but at this moment, no one cared about her compelling beauty, everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor, with various expressions.

The emperor let out a long sigh.

Recalling the past scenery, looking at the current predicament, and recalling the last emperor who died in countless history books, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Especially when he thought of the emperors who had been humiliated by barbarians after being captured, he couldn't help but shiver.He would rather take the initiative to give himself a decent ending than falling into the hands of the barbarians to survive and die.

Thinking of this, the emperor clenched the porcelain bottle in his trembling hands.That was the poison he had prepared for himself to seal his throat.

Looking around at the civil and military officials, the imperial concubine and the prince next to him, the emperor was very moved and forced himself to comfort himself: At this point, there are still these loyal ministers who came to rescue him, and the concubine and the prince are willing to be with him To die, I really should be satisfied.

Looking down at the messy group of officials below, he took a deep breath, and before he died, he wanted to brew his feelings: "Dear dears, I..."

"Your Majesty!" The gray-haired old prime minister under the steps directly interrupted him, "Now that our Great Wei Guozuo is in danger, I hope that Your Majesty will act in a hurry and do not act impulsively."

"Prime Minister, you!" The emperor vaguely guessed the meaning of the other party, he looked at the other party in disbelief, surprised and angry.

The prime minister was unmoved, and continued: "Your Majesty, the barbarians of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not understand benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. Now the lives of the people in the city depend on your majesty's thoughts. I hope that your majesty will put the overall situation first and take the initiative to leave the palace and surrender. It will save the lives of the people and His Majesty."

As he spoke, he knelt directly on the ground.

When the other courtiers heard the words, they followed the prime minister and knelt down without hesitation, and said in unison: "I hope that your majesty will put the overall situation first and surrender voluntarily."

emperor:"……"

He looked at everyone in disbelief.

These ministers responded to his gaze calmly one by one, only a very small number of them bowed their heads in shame.

The prime minister pressed even harder: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

The reason why the ministers entered the palace late at night was not purely for the purpose, at least it had nothing to do with the rescue that the emperor had in mind.

——Nowadays, the city is full of chaos and soldiers. They are relying on the powerful defense of Miyagi to save their lives, and they also want to see if the emperor has any hidden ways to escape, so they can leave together logically.

But now it seems that the current emperor is indeed a complete waste, and there is no way to reverse the situation.That being the case, don't blame them for choosing to protect themselves.

If he can successfully persuade the emperor to submit to Bei Yuan, it must be a great achievement, not to mention protecting himself, it is more than enough to make a further step in the new dynasty.Even if the persuasion fails, the emperor's head is considered a precious life-saving talisman.

Thinking of this, the panic in the hearts of these courtiers dissipated a lot unconsciously, and a strange greed and passion flashed in their eyes.

Under the coercion of his officials, the emperor didn't know what to do for a while.No matter how frightened and angry he was, scolding and accusing, all the officials remained indifferent, and all wanted to use it as a stepping stone to save their lives and advance to the next level.

Several Kongwu powerful military officers even stepped forward, making a gesture to set up the emperor.

"Okay! You are really my good servants!"

The emperor smiled miserably and did not resist.

He inexplicably remembered the war ten years ago.Thinking of the countless officials of the main combat faction who were ransacked and executed by him after the fiasco, leaving only a room full of seemingly obedient responders.

Is the current situation not the cycle of karma?

Looking at such a scene, Jiang Chen, the arrogant and arrogant prince in the past, inexplicably felt a chill in his heart, and the blood in his whole body was running cold.

He subconsciously looked at his mother and concubine.The other party has always been quite cunning, and he can reach the sky every step of the way in the man-eating harem. No matter what problems arise, his mother and concubine can solve them for him. Jiang Chen has always relied on him in his heart.

But at this moment, he saw his mother and concubine, who had always boasted that her strategy was not inferior to that of a man, fell to the ground at some point, her beautiful face was pale, as if her gorgeous makeup had faded, revealing her inner bleakness.

……

The shouting and killing outside unknowingly weakened, and the sound of orderly footsteps in the middle of the night was especially clear.

The officials, including the prime minister, subconsciously straightened their robes, faced the direction of the visitor, and showed just the right submissive smile, but the smile suddenly froze on their faces.

Outside the gate of Qianyuan Hall, bunches of flames suddenly lit up, and then more than a dozen black-armored knights rushed in, with fresh blood on their armor.

This is clearly the Beiyan Army's outfit!

A figure walked out from among the guards of many knights, the dark robe seemed to blend into the night.Under the familiar wooden mask, the boy's playful eyes swept across the hall, as if he could see through what happened here at a glance.A low laugh escaped his throat.

"Fifth, fifth brother?" The prince's unbelievable voice broke the strange calm in the hall.

Sitting on the ground with a slumped face, the emperor also raised his head in astonishment, looking at his son in disbelief.Familiar attire and familiar appearance, but his aura is particularly unfamiliar.

Chu Si's gaze flitted across everyone, and he naturally caught the sudden burst of ecstasy in the emperor's eyes, the prince's bewildered expression, and the frost condensed in the eyes of the imperial concubine.There are also awkward and weird expressions on the courtiers.

He finally looked at Xue Hai, who had been closely following him, and made an invitation gesture.

"I'll leave it to you here, if you want revenge, just do it." Chu Si chuckled, "As for me, I'll get rid of those who are in the way outside first."

·The young man turned around and walked out of the hall, his thin figure passed through the silent palace city.Wherever he went, the palace lanterns were lit up one by one, and the palace people holding the palace lanterns stood respectfully by the side of the road. It seemed that the whole palace was revived because of his arrival.

A group of knights guarded outside the palace gate with their horses. Chu Si got on his horse and headed out first.

At this time, the sound of fighting swords and soldiers in Ziyang City gradually subsided, and the Beiyuan army that had been making trouble in the city was chopped down by groups of black armor knights who suddenly appeared. In less than half an hour, the entire emperor was restored. There was silence.

"Da da" horseshoes sounded on the quiet street, and the boy in black wearing a wooden mask rode his horse past, followed by dozens of black armored knights.

The sound of the horse's hooves seemed to be a sudden signal, and countless black-armored knights appeared on the streets of Ziyang City.

Countless knights gathered towards the youth from all directions, trampling over the corpses of the Northern Yuan Army on the street with iron hooves, but their focused and sincere eyes followed closely the figure bathed in the moonlight.

Outside Ziyang City, the originally aggressive Bei Yuan army was held back by a sudden army. The endless new weapons in the opponent's hands caught them off guard, and dense crossbow arrows shot out like locusts all over the sky, covering the sky and covering the ground.

In the darkness, someone quietly lit a fuse.

boom!

It was as if thunder had exploded in the nine heavens, and bright and blazing flames exploded in the Beiyuan army.Everyone's eyes were white, their ears were buzzing, and their stumps and broken arms were flying around. This kind of "miracle" like the might of God completely overwhelmed all the Beiyuan soldiers present, and many of them even started to recite silently. Recite the name of Changshengtian.

The original awe-inspiring army suddenly became fragmented, and the fear of the unknown made the entire Beiyuan army barracks panic.

At this moment, a cavalry skillfully cut into the battlefield and cut the Northern Yuan army in half.They galloped like the wind, their black armor blended into the night, like ghosts who came and went without a trace on the battlefield.

The young leader at the head is wearing a weird wooden mask, and the lights of knives are falling like waterfalls all over his body, almost turning killing into an art.

"Woo—" In the night, the horn sounded.

The Northern Yuan army left in a hurry, leaving only corpses scattered all over the mountains outside Ziyang City.

Chu Si jumped off the horse, straightened the wrinkled hem of his clothes lightly, his movements were graceful and calm, like a nobleman living in a golden hall with a soft pen in his hand, without any murderous intent.

He looked at the young knight who came towards him after finishing the battlefield with a smile, and nodded earnestly: "Well done! If you hadn't successfully contained the enemy army, this night attack would not have been so smooth!"

The young knight took off his pocket, with a slight shyness on his face. He grinned and showed his white teeth, his eyes were bright and fiery: "Without Mr. Xiao's help, we would not have the strength we have today."

Along the way, the amount of money spent to accommodate refugees, relieve disaster victims, and even feed the army is absolutely astronomical.What's more, there are new weapons improved by the other party... Lin Wuwei's eyes became extremely fanatical when he thought of the power of the first test just now.

The two discussed the plan for the future, and the former Zhenbei Army led by Lin Wuwei and the current rebel army slowly left from the other direction.

〖Floating in a trance, I seem to have discovered the amazing truth...〗〖No no no no!Don't say it!I honestly don't believe it!How could my male god Emperor Zhaoyuan be... QAQ I don't accept it! 〗〖Why do I have the same idea?Wake me up!The facts clearly written in history, I must have not woken up hahaha...〗〖History is not credible in the first place, how many times have the history textbooks been revised during this period?Admit it!Our Highness is the man who asked the whole network to revise textbooks [funny.jpg]〗〖Hahahahaha what a weird title?The man who made the whole network revise textbooks?I lost my head laughing! 〗Looking inadvertently across the screen of the transparent live broadcast room, Chu Si's face was slightly stiff. If it was in a comic, there must have been a black line on his forehead.

Ignoring all kinds of happy remarks from the sand sculpture audience, he continued to clean up the battlefield.

The sky is bright.

On the blood-stained plain, Chu Si recalled the remaining soldiers of the Northern Flame Army and returned to Ziyang City.

At the gate of the city, the deputy commander of the Zhen'an Army guarded here specially, respectfully saluted His Highness, and received a flat compliment from the other side: "Good job."

He immediately put on a happy look, and retreated respectfully.

Chu Si left without paying attention to the other party's trickery.

The deputy commander had long been in the hands of Chu Si, and with a little temptation, he became a member of the net long before.It was he who personally opened the city gate to let the Beiyan Army enter the city that night.

·Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.

As soon as Chu Si stepped into the palace, his gaze met a pair of eyes that were wide open, and in those dilated pupils, there was still extreme unwillingness and fear.

The owner of these eyes was dressed in the clothes of a prince, and fell face up at the gate of Qianyuan Hall, as if he was stabbed through by someone before he could escape in time.

And behind him, corpses were strewn all over the grand hall, more than ten corpses, large and small, fell in the hall.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Chu Si's eyes.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind him, he turned around, and saw the servant Zhang Jingzhong running over in a panic.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good!" He panted heavily, his face contorted with fear, "They're all dead! Last night, the entire Wei clan was killed!"

"...What's going on?" Chu Si had a faint guess in his heart.

"It's...it's General Xu Yongxu! He killed the entire clan by himself!"

"Xu Yong..." Or, "Xue Hai—" Chu Si murmured thoughtfully.

"What do you want to do..."

According to Zhang Jingzhong, after Chu Si left the palace, Xue Hai falsely delivered an imperial decree, proclaiming all the royal family members to the palace and killing them all.The rest of the people who did not obey the order were also beheaded by him in the mansion.

Such a move was really beyond Chu's expectations, and he had to admit that he seemed to have not figured out something.

——Sure enough, people's hearts are not 100% accurate.Human emotions are also difficult to judge rationally.

He wasn't angry at all, but he was quite curious about Xue Hai's behavior, and he was immediately interested in it.

"Where is Xu Yong now?" After thinking for a while, Chu Si asked directly, "Where are the emperor and other courtiers?"

"They were all locked up by General Xu in the garden to the west, and General Xu is also there."
