One Step to The End: 1297 days of misunderstanding
Luoyang City is a huge plain city with more than 2 million inhabitants, but it is only over 10,000 when the defenders are full, but the people in the whole city know that something big has happened. The emperor was kidnapped by monsters outside the city. Yoko is also the illegitimate son of rebel Yang Pingchuan.
"Open the door! I'll come with the emperor's decree, and if I don't comply with the decree, I'll be slaughtered all over the door..."
Sunset!
A cavalry general held up the imperial decree high. Hundreds of heavy cavalry stood behind him. Behind him, there was a large army of Wuyangyang approaching. The villagers outside the city were frightened to close their doors. Longwu Army was the best equipped. The luxurious army is the backbone of defending the capital of the gods.
"Hmph~ bold rebel! We also have the emperor's secret edict..."
Chen Guangda sent a decree and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "I am the general of the hussars, Wei Dafu, the head of the inner palace, the emperor has been kidnapped by cultists and monsters, if the Longwu Army joins forces, Assassinate the emperor and kill the car, your family members in the city will be beheaded and displayed to the public as an example!"
"Holding? How is this possible..."
A group of cavalry suddenly looked at each other, but a large number of officials appeared at the head of the city, and the prince in a dragon robe also stood up, took the loudspeaker and shouted: "The soldiers of the Longwu Army listen to the order, and let General Huang come quickly. See you, this palace is the crown prince of the East Palace, the heir of the supervising state!"
"Here!"
The bewildered cavalrymen kicked their horses and left, and the little soldiers naturally didn't know the danger. At this time, it was getting dark. Not only were the braziers lit on the high city walls, but the yellow wolf smoke was also lit. Everyone knows this is a distress signal.
"The kerosene and beating stones are all ready, and the whole city will reduce the rations to prevent my food supply from being cut off..."
The new crown prince issued orders very calmly, a large number of people were carrying military supplies, and the major families also sent servants spontaneously. Zhao Guanren sealed hundreds of officials in one breath. Almost every major family has a share, and no one wants to The fat you just got is gone.
"Prince Prince! The lower officials are here to help, even if they are sent..."
A large number of sons and brothers also went into battle, and tens of thousands of guards and soldiers were transferred in one breath. The prince hurriedly took the opportunity to win over everyone. Not only did he promise a lot of benefits, he also ordered people to open the armory and give them to each other. Private soldiers of large families distribute armors.
"Prince! What happened..."
A team of cavalrymen ran to the city with torches, and a lieutenant shouted: "I am a lieutenant under General Huang. I was fortunate enough to meet the prince once. I was ordered to come and change the defense. If you are the emperor, why are you kidnapping me?"
"Hmph~ Then why don't you see the emperor's chariot, and a false edict sent to the city, do you want to live..."
The prince slapped the battlements and shouted angrily. He knew that this guy had mistaken the person and regarded himself as the prince. After all, the city wall was more than 20 meters high. It was very difficult to shout, let alone hold a torch. See people.
"Prince Prince! I don't know about the fake edict..."
The lieutenant said loudly: "The day before yesterday, a monster stabbed the king to kill him. Fortunately, Lord Tianyangzi escorted him, but he still injured his muscles and bones. He is recuperating in the camp. , then send me to wait to switch defenses first!"
"Yeah!"
The prince said loudly: "Since it is a defense change, then remove the armor, separate the men and horses, and enter the city empty-handed. If what is said is true, this palace will hand over the defense of the city of God to you, and then hang the armor again and regain it. It's not too late for weapons!"
"This..."
The lieutenant's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and the crown prince shouted again: "If you wait for your heart to be open and honest, what are you afraid of when you disarm your armor and enter the city, this palace can still kill his own soldiers, if you do not obey the order, then It is an intention to rebel, and every family in the city shows their heads to the public!"
"This matter can't be controlled by the humble post, please wait for a while, the humble post will go back and ask for instructions..."
The lieutenant had to lead people back and ran back, but someone immediately said angrily: "These rebels really want to go against it, one hundred thousand people
When the army protects the emperor, is Tianyangzi escorted in his turn? This kind of nonsense can also be made up. When the army of King Qin arrives, they will kill their whole family! "
"It's not necessarily a fabrication, Tian Yangzi is very slick..."
Chen Guang shook his head and said: "Tian Yangzi colluded with the monsters, and then co-starred in a rescue scene, holding the emperor and deceiving the soldiers below. These people will definitely not dare to disarm and enter the city. Well, King Qin's army will take half a month at the earliest!"
"Come here! Put on armor for this palace, and this palace will personally supervise the battle..."
The prince shouted in high spirits, put on bright silver armor with several princes, and even brought dinner to the city to eat, but Chen Guangda rolled his eyes and called two guards to whisper. , the two immediately ran down the city quickly.
"Bang bang bang..."
More than a dozen flares hit the sky, not only illuminating the pitch-dark wilderness, but also the soldiers who were waiting for the Longwu Army to get up one after another. In the distance, they saw a team of Yulin Army cavalry, escorting two eunuchs. , shouting loudly: "Empress Dowager Yi's decree, let General Lu come out to receive the decree!"
"Here it is! Wei Chen accepts the order..."
Lieutenant General Lu and the others were discussing countermeasures. Hearing the sound, they ran to the front of the battle and knelt down. A **** dismounted and handed over two decrees, saying, "General Lu! You are also an old minister, and this was sent to you last time. Keep the imperial decree, and compare it with what you have in your hands!”
"Huh?"
Lieutenant General Lu got up in surprise, and hurriedly asked people to fetch the imperial decree for the change of defense, let them compare the left and right with the lantern, and immediately exclaimed: "Pseudo-edict! Xiaojiao, but the imperial decree was conveyed by General Huang himself!"
"Hmph~ you know who Tian Yangzi is, he is the illegitimate son of the rebel Yang Pingchuan, a wild breed who is incoherent with Princess Gaoyang..."
The **** opened another letter and said loudly: "You can see for yourself, this is a letter for help sent by the emperor's dead soldiers, and it has been sent to all parts of the country. Have you ever seen the emperor with your own eyes, is the emperor okay?"
"I kowtowed before the accident, and I never saw you again after the accident..."
Lieutenant General Lu wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "The emperor was ambushed by a monster on the way, and his left abdomen and left leg were both injured. But the monster sneaked into the camp and tried to stab him, so I blocked the road and searched everywhere!"
"Where is the Yujiang King?"
The **** looked at him with bright eyes, and Vice-General Lu whispered: "The emperor couldn't trust King Yujiang, and he was not allowed to enter the palace at first, but Tianyangzi said good things for him, and immediately made the prince the crown prince. I've already entered the palace and waited in front of me!"
"Hmph~ Yujiang King is probably skinned and replaced by a monster..."
The **** handed him another case slip and said, "This is the order issued by the empress and the crown prince in the three provinces and six departments, ordering you to immediately disarm and enter the city in batches, Master Lu! Hurry up and kowtow to the empress when you enter the city. Please be safe, you won't recognize the false edict if you bite it to death, otherwise it will be the death penalty of punishing the Nine Clan!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Tian, for the suggestion, and the lower official is grateful..."
Lieutenant General Lu hurriedly took out the silver note and handed it over. He walked back to the camp and read the edict carefully. He also took out the documents of the Ministry of War for comparison, and his cronies said: "General! Everyone knows the seal of the Ministry of War. It's definitely not fake, but it's really weird!"
"It's weird! My whole family is staying in the city. If I don't enter the city, I will wait to kill the door. I only recognize the warrant and not the person. I disarm and enter the city..."
Lieutenant General Lu scolded angrily, and the 20,000 soldiers immediately unloaded their armors. All the soldiers and armors were mounted on the logistics carriages. Under the successive illumination of the flares, they divided into three groups and entered the city. All to the strong escort.
"General Lu! Fortunately, I will go to the palace tomorrow morning to meet the Empress..."
Chen Guangda and Mr. Zhang
As soon as he came to greet him in person, Vice-General Lu naturally recognized Director Zhang, and his old father was also invited. He happily told him the whole story. Obviously, the Crown Prince had promised a lot of benefits, and Vice-General Lu returned to him. home.
"A late-night snack is given to the brothers in the forward camp, and the generals will come to receive the reward..."
Chen Guangda quickly dispersed 20,000 people. The officers not only received the money, but also all of them were reorganized into other teams. Those with a little prestige were all promoted. When everyone saw that the three provinces and six departments were dispatched, they all accepted it with great joy. adaptation.
"Haha~ With 20,000 troops in hand, our gods are impregnable..."
The prince stood on the top of the city and laughed, but Chen Guangda said again: "Prince! Don't be too happy, there are 300,000 troops around us, and the emperor's tiger talisman is not in our hands. If We have all taken the false edict to attack the city, and we are still alive and well!"
"General Wei! You have a good plan..."
The Crown Prince quickly asked for advice humbly, Chen Guangda immediately whispered to him, only to see the Prince's complexion suddenly change, and said in a low voice: "In case the Emperor is just kidnapped and forced into the palace, if we are so aggressive, the rebels will return. Not a single knife...that's it!"
"Prince Prince! Kindness does not lead the army, benevolence does not rule..."
Chen Guang squinted his eyes and said, "You are not the Queen's own son, if King Yujiang comes back alive, as long as he is not a monster, your head will definitely hang on the head of this city. Do it, the lower official is just for your sake!"
"I..."
…
Noon!
The sun was shining in the warm winter. The old emperor lay in the palace and basked in the sun. He didn't see any pain at all, and his face was rosy and shiny. He held a tea bowl and asked indifferently: "Old eight! What is the purpose of returning to the palace?"
"Father! I dare to guess..."
The King of Yujiang knelt down and said: "There are too many people with ulterior motives in the city. You deliberately claim that you will not return, and you will let these people jump out and fight. At that time, it will be clear who is loyal and who is traitor. 100,000, no one can turn the palm of your hand!"
"Ignorance! Yin Zhiping knew that the cultists had entered the city, but he downplayed the memorial, deliberately letting the Yulin army neglect his precautions, and also led the murder to the Cui family..."
The old emperor said sternly: "That kid mobilized 5,000 troops in an instant, but he didn't take action until the imperial city was destroyed. He killed the cultist without leaving any armor, and he didn't damage anyone. All the people inside and outside are replaced by him, if I go back to the palace, I will definitely die!"
“…”
King Yujiang's complexion suddenly changed, and he said in shock, "Your Majesty! You mean that Yin Zhiping wants to... rebel?"
"Think about it, if Yang Pingchuan had the will to rebel, how could he just get some rabble, his Yang family's army will definitely go to Luoyang City, but the Yang family's troops have not moved, Yang Pingchuan himself is dead..."
The old emperor said solemnly: "I have a hidden stake beside Yang Pingchuan. He said that Yang Pingchuan had no intention of rebelling. , once he returns to the palace, he will either die or be placed under house arrest, this thief...it's terrible!"
"Then you let the boy be the prince and cooperate with Tianyangzi to return to the palace, just to deal with him..."
The king of Yujiang was also in a cold sweat, but the old emperor nodded and said, "As long as the vanguard camp enters the city and takes over the city defense, it will be fine. You bring Tianyangzi back to the palace to celebrate him, and find an opportunity during the banquet to kill him. Secretly get rid of it, don't show your tricks, that kid is better than a thief!"
"If the boy knows, he will be smashed to pieces..."
King Yujiang nodded viciously, but Tian Yangzi ran in before he finished speaking and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty! Did your golden seal get the wrong one, or was it dropped or damaged? It was said by the imperial decree. The golden seal is... fake!"
"Fart! How could..."
