Chapter 98 Swordsman slaughtering dragons

"Tiger--"

"Tiger--"

"Tiger--"

Under the mountains three hundred miles away, the sound of the deafening call resounded across the city.

The wilderness outside the mountains were full of corpses, and the ownerless horses were walking aimlessly on the muddy ground full of limbs. The black-armored sergeant holding a bow and arrow in his hand pulled out the feather arrow from the corpse and picked up the hilt, threw it into the cart. When he met the defeated general who was still wailing, he made up for it.

The majestic pass city wall was filled with corpses, and the city wall was filled with arrows like crossbows and guns. Some people were even nailed directly to the city wall by crossbows. The long ladders and siege cars were piled up all over the ground, and many were lit by fierce tinder oil and emitting black smoke.

The Xiliang Army, who had been fighting all night, searched for wine, meat and food in the town behind the pass, and caught the enemy deserters hiding everywhere, dragged them to the bottom of the pass and chopped off their heads, and directly in front of the pass and pointed them at the "Beijingguan".

Jingguan, which had more than 10,000 heads, was ten feet tall. Xiliang Army, wearing black armor, occasionally carried a few bloody heads, stepped on countless heads, and placed their heads at the top.

Under the dawn, the earth became a sea of ​​blood, and the pungent smell of blood can be smelled more than ten miles away.

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

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

"Prince, I'm sending a letter from the capital!"

Under the city gate, military advisor Yue Jiulou flew over the roof, stood beside Xu You, handed him the paper tube containing the imperial edict, and looked at the mountains behind him in a blink of an eye:

"Prince, are we fighting too fast? I thought we would have to break the barrier at least three days, but I didn't expect it to break in one night, and there seemed to be not many defenders."

"No one is not good, let Tu Qianchu continue to fight until someone is there."

Xu You put down the wine gourd, opened the paper tube that had just been delivered in a hurry, opened it and glanced, and nodded gently:

"The emperor regards my brothers and sisters as my king... the crime of regicide is not Ling'er... the two states of Qin and Wei..."

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

"Ling'er's calculations are really accurate. The emperor really wants to cut off my vassal. It's just right that the sword is not much or too much. I want to rebel against the capital and Wuming, and I can't speak."

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

"The current emperor is definitely not a mediocre person. This move is indeed cruel and ruthless."

"I'm so lucky that I still regarded him as a brother back then, oh—"

King Su Xu You cursed inwardly, jumped off the city gate tower, turned his head and looked at Jingguan outside the city, then entered the handsome tent inside the city gate tower, spread out the paper on the desk, and brewed a little:

"Old Yue, if you write this, will the emperor cut Ling'er with one knife?"

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

"It's just right that the prince's master is famous, and it will be legitimate to conquer the world."

After Xu You picked up the pen and thought about it for a while, he began to write lines of handwriting on the rice paper...

--------

It was already three days later.

From Chen Cang to Chang'an, there were 200,000 Dayue Western Army from three hundred miles to three passes, almost no one could close their eyes.

Guo Zhongxian stood on the head of Zhenhu Pass day and night, waiting for Qianyang Pass to reopen, and the scene where the Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushed over like a tide.

Many scouts have also been sent to cross Qianyang Pass to check King Su's march. Unfortunately, after passing Qianyang Pass, it is basically the chassis of King Su. The scouts have gone but never returned, and they cannot detect wherever they go. They can only guard against each other day and night, waiting for the day when they meet the enemy with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

And there was still a dead silence in Chang'an City.

Xu Buling was taken out of the prison and placed in a house near the imperial city for treatment. Because Xu Buling had taken the poison that blocked qi and blood in advance, and the Dragon Lock Gu was still there, he was lying on the sickbed and pretending to be dead.

The Imperial Guards acted decisively and directly confiscated the Liu and Han families, cut off Liu Pingyang and Han Zhongyu's heads, and cleaned all the military officers from the court and the country. All those who participated in the usurpation of the throne were beheaded, almost killing blood flowed into a river.

This was originally a major event that shocked the government and the people, but at this time the government and the people were already shocked and did not dare to care about the lives and death of the two general families. They all looked at the northwest in a blind eye, fearing that Guo Zhongxian would collapse at the 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 not die together with him, he was still a little nervous before receiving the exact news.

It was in this kind of restless atmosphere where everyone was in a state of anxiety that something happened to the summer resort outside the city.

After learning about Song Yu and Song Ji brothers' slaughter, the empress dowager, was sad and indignant, feeling that she had not educated her children well and was ashamed of the late emperor. After leaving a last note, she committed suicide in the Summer Villa and burned the Summer Villa with a torch.

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

As for the Empress Dowager's sudden suicide, it is actually reasonable to think about it carefully. The Emperor's brothers were killed by each other for thousands of years. As the legitimate mother of the two, the Empress Dowager had the responsibility of being incompetent in discipline and suffered from loneliness in the palace for many years. For this reason, she could not figure out that committing suicide was considered chaste.

The empress dowager was not old and had no sense of existence. The impact brought by this time was not as great as Liu. Han's house was searched. He was basically forgotten the next day. Everyone was waiting for the war report sent back from the northwest.

Unfortunately, the scout risked his life to pass through Qianyang Pass and received news that King Su was marching towards Qianyang Pass, with neither fast nor slow speed. He cut down trees along the way to build siege equipment, obviously preparing to siege the city.

Because Qianyang Pass, the largest passive pass in the northwest, was in the hands of King Su, the court was very passive. He went out of the pass and directly suppressed the rebellion and did not break through Qianyang Pass. He could not let King Su open Qianyang Pass himself and let Guo Zhongxian lead his army to block King Su.

Even if Qianyang Pass was captured, the Xu family army, which was famous for its cavalry, could not be defeated on the plains. They went out to commit suicide and could only dig trenches and build bunkers in Zhenhu Pass to detect leaks, waiting for King Su to come to attack the city.

One day, two days, three days!

Finally, after the third day of the Tai Chi Palace coup, a Pegasus passed through the palace gate, holding a paper tube in his hand and a yellow flag behind him, and ran directly to the Tai Chi Palace.

Song Ji stood up from the dragon chaise and clenched his fists.

The civil and military officials who had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights suddenly became restless and looked at the commander who ran over to send a message. Waiting for the war report that was related to the fate of Dayue.

At this moment, there are only three possibilities for news to be transmitted back from the northwest.

First, King Su Xu You accepted the punishment and withdrew his troops to cede the Qin and Wei prefectures, which solved the great troubles of the court for the past 60 years.

All officials naturally looked forward to this good news and drove King Su to the barren land in the northwest. In the future, there was no need to worry about King Su's rebellion. This is also the most likely news.

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

This is bad news. If you break through Zhenhu Pass in three days, you will definitely be defeated without fighting. The King of Shu and King of Chu have not arrived yet, so I am afraid that you will really have to prepare to defend Chang'an and wait for rescue. This is because the Six Kings do not make any sense to watch the fire across the river to defend.

The last possibility is that the veteran Guo Zhong showed his power, led his troops to destroy the Xiliang army, and killed King Su Xu You on the horse.

This may be the same as none. The civil and military officials would rather believe that Guo Zhongxian surrendered than that, Guo Zhongxian cut off King Su. If the Xu family was so easy to destroy, the emperor would not have to spend much effort to deal with it for many years.

Step on the pedal-

Soon, the postman who reported the news ran onto the imperial road and rushed into the Tai Chi Palace.

The ministers rushed forward and urged:

"How is the battle?"

"Did the Xu family surrender?"

"Can Zhenhu Pass be guarded?"

...

The noise was filled with the Tai Chi Palace.

The postman held up the paper tube and rushed to the Golden Hall to kneel on one knee. In the anxious eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, he said aloud:

"Jingyuan Victory! Jingyuan Victory! Jingyuan Victory!..."

Ministers:(?_??)

Song Ji:(?_??)
