The prince is very fierce

"Tiger--"

"Tiger--"

"Tiger--"

Three hundred miles away, beneath the mountains, a deafening cry echoed through the city.

The wilderness outside the mountains is littered with corpses. Ownerless horses are walking aimlessly on the muddy ground full of body parts. The black-armored sergeant holding a bow and arrow in his hand pulls out the arrow from the corpse, picks up the handle of the knife, and throws it to the ground. On the car, when he met the defeated general who was still wailing, he stabbed him with a knife.

There were piles of corpses under the majestic pass city wall, and arrows like crossbow shafts were inserted into the city wall. Some people were nailed directly to the city wall by crossbow arrows. Long ladders and siege vehicles were piled all over the ground, and many were fired upon. The oil ignited and emitted black smoke.

The Xiliang army, who had been fighting all night, searched for wine and meat in the small town behind the pass. They also caught the enemy deserters hiding everywhere, dragged them to the bottom of the pass, chopped off their heads, and killed them right in front of the pass. Jingguan'.

More than 10,000 heads were piled up in Jingguan, which was ten feet high. The Xiliang army in black armor would carry a few bloody heads from time to time, step on the countless heads, and put the heads on the top.

Under the morning light, the earth turned into a sea of ​​blood, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled more than ten miles away.

The flag above the pass was cut off and replaced with King Su's black royal flag.

The white-haired man in a python robe sat alone on the top of the city gate tower, holding a tea-green wine gourd in his hand, looking at the newly piled Beijing Tower in front of him, his eyes as calm as ever.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the capital!"

Downstairs of the city gate, Military Advisor Yue Jiulou flew up to the roof, stood next to Xu You, handed him the paper tube containing the imperial edict, and at the same time looked at the mountains behind:

"My lord, did we fight too fast? I thought it would take at least three days to break through, but I didn't expect that we broke through in one night. There don't seem to be many defenders."

"It's good that no one is good. Let Tu Qianchu continue to fight until there is someone."

Xu You put down the wine gourd, opened the paper tube that had just been rushed from eight hundred miles away, glanced at it, and nodded gently:

"The Holy Lord regards this king as a brother...the crime of regicide is not yours...cut off the two states of Qin and Wei..."

Xu You stood up and carefully looked at the imperial edict that had just been sent:

"Your calculation is really accurate. Your Majesty really wants to cut off my vassal, so it's just right to strike with no more or less. If I want to counterattack, I will be unable to speak out."

Yue Jiulou walked up to him and glanced at the imperial edict:

"The current Holy One is by no means a mediocre person. He is really ruthless in his ability to push the boat along with the flow and take advantage of the situation."

"It's a shame that I still regarded him as my brother back then, bah—"

Su Wang Xu You cursed secretly, jumped off the city gate tower, turned his head and glanced at the Jingguan outside the city, then entered the handsome tent in the city gate tower, spread out the paper on the desk, and pondered for a while:

"Lao Yue, if you write like this, will your Majesty kill your child with a knife?"

Yue Jiulou stood in front of him and thought about it carefully:

"It's just right to chop it down. The prince has a reputation as a master, and he will be able to conquer the world again."

Xu You took up the pen and thought about it for a while, then began to write down line after line on the rice paper...

-------

In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later.

From Chencang to Chang'an, the 200,000 Yue Western Army passed through three passes in three hundred miles, and almost no one could sleep a wink.

Guo Zhongxian stood on the top of Zhenhu Pass day and night, waiting for Qianyang Pass to reopen and the Xiliang cavalry to rush over like a tide.

Many scouts were also sent across Qianyang Pass to check King Su's marching movements. Unfortunately, after passing Qianyang Pass, it was basically King Su's base. The scouts never returned, and they could not detect where they went. They could only Guarding tightly day and night, waiting for the day when the Xiliang cavalry will meet the enemy.

But inside Chang'an City, there was still deathly silence.

Xu Bu Ling was taken out of the prison and placed in a house near the imperial city for treatment. Because Xu Bu Ling had taken poison that blocked Qi and blood beforehand, and the Locking Dragon Gu was still there, he was currently lying on the bed dying. Play dead.

The Royal Guards acted vigorously and ransacked the houses of the Liu and Han families, beheaded Liu Pingyang and Han Zhongyu, and purged all the military attachés in the government and the public. All those involved in the usurpation of the throne were beheaded, and their blood almost flowed into rivers.

This was originally a major event that shocked the ruling and opposition parties, but at this time, the ruling and opposition parties were so shocked that they did not dare to care about the life and death of the two general families. They all looked northwest intently, fearing that Guo Zhongxian would collapse at the first touch, and King Su's royal flag suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City.

Even Song Ji sat in the Tai Chi Hall every day waiting for King Su's reply. Although he expected that King Su would retreat and not die together, he was still a little panicked before receiving the exact news.

It was in this atmosphere where everyone was restless that something happened at the summer resort outside the city.

The Queen Mother, who was resting in the Summer Resort, learned about the fratricide between brothers Song Yu and Song Ji. She was sad and angry. She felt that she had failed to educate her children well and was ashamed of the late emperor. After leaving her last words, she committed suicide in the Summer Resort directly with a torch to escape the summer heat. The villa was burned down.

This should have been a big event, but at this critical moment, the court officials and Song Ji didn't even have time to remember it, so they just arranged for the eunuchs and people from the Xiao family to handle it.

As for the Queen Mother's sudden suicide, it actually makes sense if you think about it carefully. The killing of brothers in the imperial family is a scandal that will last forever. As the legitimate mother of the two, the Queen Mother has the responsibility to discipline them. She has suffered from loneliness in the palace for many years. For this reason, she cannot figure out that committing suicide to apologize can be regarded as a righteous act.

The Queen Mother was not very old and had no sense of presence. The impact at this time was not as big as the impact of Liu and Han's homes being confiscated. She was basically forgotten the next day. Everyone was waiting for news from the northwest. Battle report.

It's a pity that the scouts risked their lives to pass through Qianyang Pass and got news that Prince Su was marching towards Qianyang Pass at a moderate speed, cutting down trees and building siege equipment along the way, obviously preparing to attack the city.

And because Qianyang Pass, the first pass in the northwest, was in the hands of Prince Su, the court was very passive. It couldn't break through Qianyang Pass by going out of the pass to suppress the rebellion. It couldn't let Prince Su open Qianyang Pass by himself and let Guo Zhongxian lead the army to stop Prince Su.

And even if Qianyang Pass was broken, it couldn't beat the Xu family army, which was famous for its cavalry, on the plains. Going out was a death wish. They could only dig trenches, build bunkers and check for leaks in Zhenhu Pass, waiting for Prince Su to come and attack the city.

One day, two days, three days!

Finally, on the third day after the Taiji Palace coup, a flying horse passed through the palace gate directly, holding a paper tube in his hand and a yellow flag behind him, and ran directly to the Taiji Hall.

Song Ji stood up from the dragon chair with his fists clenched.

The civil and military officials who had not slept for three days and three nights suddenly became agitated and looked at the servants who came to deliver the message. Waiting for the war report that was related to Dayue's national destiny.

At this moment, there were only three possibilities for the news that could be sent back from the northwest.

One was that Su Wang Xu You accepted the punishment, withdrew his troops and ceded the land of Qin and Wei states, solving the major worry of the court for sixty years.

All officials naturally looked forward to this good news, and drove Su Wang completely to the barren land of the northwest, so that they would not have to worry about Su Wang's rebellion in the future. This was also the most likely news.

Second, Su Wang Xu You did not accept the punishment, broke through Zhenhu Pass and continued to come to Chang'an.

This was bad news. If Zhenhu Pass was broken in three days, it would inevitably collapse without a fight. The King of Shu and the King of Chu had not arrived yet, and I was afraid that they really had to prepare to defend Chang'an to the death and wait for rescue. This would only be possible if the six kings did not have an idea and watched the fire from the other side of the river.

The last possibility is that the veteran general Guo Zhongxian showed his prowess, led his troops to destroy the Xiliang army, and killed the Su Wang Xu You.

This possibility is the same as no possibility. The civil and military officials would rather believe that Guo Zhongxian surrendered than believe that Guo Zhongxian killed the Su Wang. If the Xu family was so easy to destroy, the emperor would not have to go to great lengths to plan for years to deal with it.

Tap tap tap--

Soon, the messenger who reported the news ran up the imperial road and rushed into the Taiji Palace.

The ministers hurried forward and urged:

"How is the battle going?"

"Is the Xu family rebelling or surrendering?"

"Can Zhenhu Pass be defended?"

...

The noise drowned the Taiji Palace.

The messenger held up the paper tube and rushed to the Golden Palace, kneeling on one knee. In the anxious eyes of the civil and military officials, he said loudly:

"Jingyuan is a great victory! Jingyuan is a great victory! Jingyuan is a great victory!..."

The ministers: (?_?？)

Song Ji: (?_?？)
