The Hanzhou Army suddenly appeared to the west of Chang'an City. All the imperial scouts they met along the way were captured. No news was leaked and there was no sign. The guards at Jinguang Gate and Yanping Gate in the West City were frightened as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They quickly warned and were on guard.
Send people to attack and report and seek support.
The Qinwang troops from various states who were originally stationed in the west of the city avoided and made way for them.
Many people went to the city wall to check and inquire about each other's situation. After learning that the King of Han was leading the army, they were no longer nervous for a moment, but looked forward to it. Who among the people in Chang'an City didn't know that they could make money and live a good life by following the King of Han? Who didn't know that King Han
Treat the people sincerely and don't have the airs of a superior official?
People don't care who sits in the imperial court, as long as it's good for themselves.
Soon, everyone saw one person and one horse approaching.
The horse is white all over, tall and mighty, and has extraordinary momentum.
The man was wearing bright silver chain mail and a white mink scarf around his neck, which was given by Yuzhang when he went to Goguryeo. He was riding a horse without any weapons, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic air. He was Qin Huaidao.
Soon, some people recognized him and shouted loudly: "The King of Han, he is really the King of Han!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
The shouts grew louder and louder, resounding through the city walls.
The soldiers guarding the city gate had mixed feelings when they saw this scene. They came with troops, which was like a rebellion, but they were cheered and welcomed by the people. What is this? Once the city is attacked, will they fight or not?
In front of the Hanzhou army, Wei Zheng and others were very emotional when they saw this scene. Liu Hongji even said bluntly: "The troops came with no etiquette, which is tantamount to treason, but they were favored by the people. I admire the high popularity of the people of the Han Dynasty."
, this situation can be regarded as creating history."
"It is true. From a certain perspective, even though he is an enemy, he is welcomed by the people. No one in the past dynasties has done this. I also underestimated the status of the King of Han in the hearts of the people." Wei Zheng said with emotion.
Fang Yiai said anxiously: "Master Wei, Master Liu, and I just want to attack immediately and rush in to rescue my father. I wonder if you two adults can get the king of Han to order the attack?"
"Reckless man, do you understand when you go to attack with an army?" Liu Hongji scolded him and said nothing.
Wei Zheng looked at Fang Yiai and said with a smile: "Just wait, the King of Han must have a way. Don't forget that yesterday the court suddenly took action against Qinjiazhuang, arrested many people, and raided the industrial city. Even Jia Guanjia was not immune.
To the King of Han, Steward Jia is like an elder, otherwise he would not have rushed to send troops."
"Look, we're at the city gate." Liu Hongji reminded.
Everyone looked up and pricked up their ears, wondering what Qin Huaidao would do next.
To fight or not to fight, it all depends on Qin Huaidao's thoughts.
A stone's throw away from the city, Qin Huaidao reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the majestic city in front of him. His mood was a little complicated. Do you want to break the city gate and rush in?
But if we don't fight in, how can we rescue everyone in Qinjiazhuang?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Huaidao raised his hand to signal, and after the people calmed down, he said loudly: "Everyone in Chang'an City, Qin Huaidao, your old friend is back."
He did not mention the King of Han, lowered his status, but suddenly tightened his status.
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"Welcome back the King of Han!"
The common people shouted one after another that their thoughts were simple, simple, and pure. They should be kind to whoever treats them well, and they should be conscientious.
The news that Qinjiazhuang was raided spread yesterday. All the people working in Qinjiazhuang lost their jobs today. People were panicked. They were worried about what to do in the future, but they did not expect that the King of Han would appear outside the city today. The news was like a hurricane sweeping across the whole country.
In Chang'an City, more and more people came to watch.
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop it for fear of causing public outrage.
After a while, Qin Huaidao calmed everyone down again and shouted loudly: "Everyone, Changsun Wuji arrested me from Qinjiazhuang and confiscated my Qinjiazhuang property, leaving everyone without work. The crime deserves death, but it is even worse.
His crimes were to use food to feed the enemy, bribe Tibetans and Turks to bring in foreign aid, and put the emperor and the emperor under house arrest in an attempt to seek power and usurp the throne."
Anyway, the people don’t know the truth, it’s fiction, truth, lies, truth and lies, let’s stir up public opinion before talking about it.
"What? Mr. Changsun is an enemy and wants to seek power and usurp the throne?"
"Lord Changsun puts the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty under house arrest?"
"impossible?"
"What's impossible? Can the King of Han still deceive us?"
"That's right, who has ever seen the King of Han lie to others?"
"The King of Han is true to his word, he will do what he says, and he will never lie."
The people had different opinions and talked about it, but their opinions gradually became one-sided and they began to panic.
At this time, Qin Huaidao's voice sounded again: "Everyone, I kindly ask you to go home immediately, close the doors and windows, watch your family, and don't go out to avoid accidental injury. The attack will start in an hour and disturb everyone!"
"What, the King of Han wants to attack?"
"Nonsense, how can we save those people in Qinjiazhuang without attacking?
"How can we start work if we don't attack Qinjiazhuang? What will we eat in the future?"
"Yes, yes, go quickly, go quickly."
"But attacking Chang'an is tantamount to conspiracy and a traitor." Someone questioned.
But he was soon drowned out by a louder voice: "What? Rebellion?"
"What does it have to do with us?"
"Who is the emperor? We ordinary people still work, farm, pay taxes, perform corvee services, and who cares? The King of Han is the most considerate of the people. It would be better for the King of Han to be the emperor. Go, go, go..."
"Definitely!"
A huge cavalry roared in with an indifferent expression, swords in hand, murderous intent, and the leading general shouted: "Anyone who dares to climb the city wall, behead them all, come down, hurry up."
The voice is cold and domineering.
Someone recognized the identity of the general and whispered to an acquaintance: "Isn't that a member of the Changsun family?"
"That's right, it's him. I think his name is Changsun Huan. Move quickly, don't get chopped down."
"He is arrogant, domineering and arrogant. How could he be so kind to us, the King of Han?"
Everyone cursed in low voices and ran down the city wall quickly to go home.
Changsun Huan hurriedly climbed up the city wall, looked at Qin Huaidao in front of him and shouted: "King of Han, you have brought troops here without the Holy Spirit's will. Do you want to rebel? Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Qin Huaidao glanced at the other party, ignored him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers on the wall, listen up. The attack will begin in an hour. Anyone who wants to work hard for the Changsun family and gain a future will be punished for rebellion, and his or her family will be confiscated and exterminated. Anyone who doesn't will be punished."
Stay, if you don’t want to sacrifice your life, it’s unrealistic for you to go home, and your superiors won’t agree to it. If a fight breaks out soon, all you have to do is put down your weapons, squat down with your head in your hands, surrender without killing, and there will be no further investigation afterwards.”
After saying that, he reined in his horse and drove away.
Changsun Huan's face changed greatly when he heard these words, and he yelled: "That's nonsense. You are marching to Chang'an. You are a great traitor. You deserve to die. Everyone will be punished. Everyone obeys my order."
The soldiers guarding the city looked over one after another with complicated expressions.
Changsun Huan continued to roar: "The Holy One has decreed that whoever kills an enemy will be rewarded with a silver coin; whoever kills an enemy captain will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins; for each level higher, the reward will be doubled; and whoever kills the king of Han will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
It is said that there must be brave men under the heavy reward.
However, the soldiers guarding the city remained silent and had different thoughts.
Whether the Changsun family is an enemy or not, everyone is not clear about the house arrest of the Holy Lord, but one thing is clear. The Qin family village was raided inexplicably, and all supplies were brought into the Changsun family instead of the national treasury. Several princes left Chang'an, and Liang Guogong was surrounded by heavy troops.
, various signs indicate that there is something wrong with the eldest grandson’s family.
No one is a fool. Fight for the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty and die a worthy death.
But if you fight for the eldest grandson's family, you will have to be accused of being a traitor if you die. Future generations will not be able to hold their heads high, and no one is willing.
The truth is unclear, so the best way is to stay out of the matter. Everyone looks at the guard one after another.
The guard general felt that morale was low, and his expression did not change. He motioned to the eldest son Huan to step aside, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the soldiers have no intention of fighting. I'm afraid something will happen. It's best to mobilize the imperial army."
"Why, you want to get away too? Don't forget to take advantage of my eldest grandson's family. Without my eldest grandson's family, you wouldn't be in your current position. If my eldest grandson's family is over, you can't escape either."
"That's not what I meant. The general is worried about a mutiny." The general quickly explained.
"Mutiny? What's the use of the knife in your hand? You don't know how to suppress it? I have brought five thousand Yulin Guards. Anyone who dares to rebel and surrender to the King of Han will be shot without mercy." Changsun Huan said coldly.
"Definitely!"
At this time, a carriage came slowly, and the people guarding the carriage were the Forbidden Army.
Changsun Huan recognized the carriage and hurried forward to greet him. He said respectfully: "My child has seen your father!"
The carriage stopped and a person stepped out, it was Changsun Wuji, followed by another person, Fang Xuanling.
Changsun Wuji asked indifferently: "How is the situation?"
"Return to my lord father, the King of Han has promised to attack the city in an hour."
"Chang'an City is high and strong. No one can break in. Don't worry." Changsun Wuji comforted him and looked at Fang Xuanling, his eyes sparkling, not knowing what he was planning.
