Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth IX beauty grace
Imperial Palace Qinzheng Hall.
"Report, your majesty, the north gate of the capital has been bombarded by King Bingjian's artillery fire and was torn to pieces. The city gate has been lost. Now King Bingjian has led all the soldiers and horses to attack the city and attack on the city wall!"
Li Ye stood up suddenly and stared blankly at the Imperial Army soldiers with ragged armor and scrawled faces.
"The city is broken! It's only been seven days, and the city has been broken?"
All the officials looked at the soldiers in the middle in an uproar, and they all panicked.
The brothers King Qing, King Yun, and King Jing looked at each other in fear.
My brother-in-law is still as powerful as ever, and the power of his Li family is probably about to change hands.
It's a pity that several of my brothers have completely lost their titles and power many years ago, so they can't help at all.
The brothers also fell silent and looked at Baiguan and Li Ye, wanting to see how they planned to continue to deal with this matter.
However, the brothers are destined to be disappointed. How can Baiguan's mood improve now?
There were 100,000 imperial troops in the capital and 30,000 armed guards, Wuwu cavalry under Duke Yong'an, 50,000 infantry under Gan Lianghou, and the King of Zhao defected in the face of the battle, adding another 100,000 troops.
With a total of 330,000 soldiers and horses, and the capital city to defend the city, facing the King of Pingjian with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, they held out for less than seven days and were killed in the city?
This...is this too unacceptable?
I didn’t know that An Gouer had already led 50,000 naval troops to join the hundreds of officials under his eldest brother Liu Mingzhi, and thought that Liu Mingzhi still only had more than 200,000 cavalry who had retreated from the Turkic battlefield.
I thought that with such a large number of troops, even if it could not last for two months, it would not be a problem for about a month.
At that time, there was no telling that Marshal Yun would be able to take the opportunity to mobilize troops back to the capital to rescue King Qin. Baiguan always held on to the hope that the Sixth Guards Army of Northern Xinjiang would be able to rush to the capital in due time.
Now that they heard that the city gate had been breached, everyone's minds suddenly fell into a trance.
"Your Majesty, please move immediately and rush to Yunzhou in northern Xinjiang to meet up with Marshal Yun. As long as you see Marshal Yun, Your Majesty can lead the army back to the capital and put down King Bingjian's rebellion!"
"The old minister seconded the proposal, please put the country first, and immediately move to Yunzhou to join King Zhongwu. Although Yunzhou is within the northern border, King Bingjian rebelled, and his throne as King Bingjian has ceased to exist in name only.
Now only Commander Yun, Commander Zhang and the hundreds of thousands of elites stationed in northern Xinjiang can still fight against the rebels under King Bingjian and help His Majesty revive the country!"
"I second the proposal, keep the green hills here, and don't worry about running out of firewood. Since Mr. Yun is unable to rush to the capital to rescue him, I am willing to escort your majesty all the way to Yunzhou to meet up with Mr. Yun."
"Old minister seconded the proposal!"
"I second the proposal, please Your Majesty to move to Yunzhou immediately!"
Li Ye came back to his senses and silently watched the officials come out one by one to advise him to move to Yunzhou, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
After about three years, is he going to be reduced to a lost dog again?
The scene that often appears in my nightmares has finally become a reality!
First, several Wang uncles, and then his own uncle.
This world is really...
Tong Xiang looked at the stunned Li Ye with anxious eyes: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the rebellion and the imperial army to fight, without further delay, please move your Majesty immediately."
"I second my opinion, your majesty, please move immediately!"
"Your Majesty, please move to Yunzhou!"
Li Ye slowly sat on the dragon chair, looking around at the anxious officials under the dragon platform, his eyes a little dazed.
Moving to Yunzhou?
My uncle will not give himself a chance to make a comeback.
Half an hour ago, he received a blood letter from his uncle Nangong Ye urging him to evacuate the capital, and a letter from the film owner.
The officials didn't know, but Li Ye knew it in his heart.
In addition to the open battlefield in the capital where the armies faced each other, there were also secret fights between the spy and his uncle's masters.
According to the report from the senior film host, all the main roads leading to various state capitals are now ambushed by masters and have been blocked.
No matter whether I want to leave or not, I can't leave! I really can't leave anymore!
"Your Majesty! Please move as soon as possible!"
"I ask your Majesty to move to Yunzhou immediately!"
When the officials were admonishing him again, Nangong Meng hurriedly walked out from the back of the palace with the support of his personal chamberlain Qian Lu.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family also agrees that you will listen to the advice of the minister and move to Yunzhou to join Mr. Yunyang. Now that the outer city has been destroyed, the inner city and the palace cannot resist for much longer.
Moving to Yunzhou is your only chance to revive the country..."
"Report! Your Majesty, King Pingjian has led his troops to capture the four city walls and completely occupied the capital. Now half of the rebels are taking over the city walls. King Pingjian has led about 100,000 elites to surround the inner city and move towards the palace.
Got it!"
"What?"
"You captured 100,000 imperial troops so quickly?"
"How can this be..."
Li Ye and Baiguan were hit hard on the head again, making them dizzy.
How long had it been since we received the report that the city gate had been forced to breach? King Bingjian had already captured the city wall?
Even if one hundred thousand soldiers and horses stand still, they have to kill for a while, right?
Could it be.........
Some old foxes reacted and speculated on the possibility of the Forbidden Army laying down their weapons and surrendering.
Nangong Meng also looked towards the palace gate outside the palace with elegance, and then turned to look at Li Ye who was stunned.
"Ye... Your Majesty, please move immediately. Under the cover of Ouchi's guards, there is still a chance to rush out and join Mr. Yun Aiqing!"
Li Ye looked at Nangong Meng with dull eyes, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, shaking his head sadly.
"Grandma, there is no chance. My uncle has cut off all escape routes for my grandson!"
Nangong Meng took the note and looked through it. When she saw the contents of the spy report clearly, her eyes darkened, and the plump and delicate body standing on the dragon platform was crumbling and was about to faint.
Qian Lu hurriedly held Nangong Meng's arm and looked at Nangong Meng who turned pale with worry.
"Empress, take care of your body!"
Naturally, all the officials heard clearly what Li Ye said to Nangong Meng.
Seeing Li Ye's helpless expression, they all fell silent as if they were mourning for a concubine.
You can't fight, you can't retreat.
Is it really possible to just watch King Bingjian lead his troops into the palace, then plot to usurp the throne, sit on that chair and change the dynasty?
On Qinglong Main Street in the inner city of the capital.
Liu Mingzhi was surrounded by a group of generals and personal guards, scanning the civilian alleys on both sides with sharp eyes in case there were hidden arrows.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, all the lone Imperial Guards and Military Guards on Qinglong Street have been cleared away!"
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, White Tiger, Suzaku, and the remnants of the garrison on Xuanwu Third Street have been killed or captured and sent to the school grounds for custody."
"Report to the commander, the streets and alleys of the inner city have been cleared, and the inner city can be surrounded at any time!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the scouts who came to report one after another and nodded silently.
"Invite the generals from all ministries to lead troops to surround the inner city. No one in the city can enter or leave without the commander's orders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be detained on the spot. Anyone who resists rushing to the camp will be shot!"
"Got the order!"
"The rest of the troops will follow me into the inner city and go straight to the palace!"
"We have the order!"
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, two women in the inner city who claimed to be Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi forced their way into the camp. They said they were your old friends and they must see you immediately. They have been detained by the brothers. How to deal with them?
?”
Liu Mingzhi paused and looked at the scout in front of him with a somewhat surprised look.
"Just the two of them? Or did a large number of people rush out?"
"Reporting back to the commander-in-chief, there are only two of them, and the people in the capital have already closed their doors and dare not go out."
"Where are they now?"
"Just inside the inner city gate!"
"Cheng Kai, take five thousand soldiers and horses and follow me to have a look. The rest of the troops will attack the inner city according to the original plan, eliminate the danger and surround the palace!"
"We have the order!"
After burning the incense, Liu Mingzhi waved his hand with complicated eyes, signaling the two soldiers to release the captured Xue Bizhu sisters.
"There is chaos everywhere in the city. You two are not staying in the restaurant. Why are you running out at this time?"
"Liu...Brother Liu, are you really still alive? Were you not assassinated?"
"Really alive, with shadow, shadow!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed helplessly as he watched the two women ignore his questions, staring at him with eyes full of tenderness and worry.
"When I finish my work, I will go to the restaurant to find you. Now you go back to the restaurant and stay there. Don't go out until the city stabilizes for a day."
Xue Bizhu came back to her senses and looked at Liu Mingzhi at a loss: "No... no... Brother Liu, my little sister is looking for you for something else!"
"Something else? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"No! No! Brother Liu, can you go to a restaurant with my little sister? Don't worry, I won't delay you for too long. It's business!"
"Yes, yes, brother Liu, just go to the restaurant with Lingyi. We are on your way to the palace. I won't delay you for long. It's really business."
Feeling the narrow looks between Cheng Kai and the surrounding soldiers, Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, looked around the surroundings and nodded slightly.
"Okay, since it's business, I'll drop by!"
The two sisters nodded excitedly: "That's great, please come quickly, brother!"
A quarter of an hour later, in the warehouse in the backyard of Penglai Restaurant, Liu Mingzhi looked at the sacks piled up in the warehouse with some doubts in his eyes.
"Bizhu, Lingyi, what do these sacks contain?"
Huang Lingyi, who has a lively personality, took off the hairpin from his hair, held it in his hand, and scratched the sack hard, and the white rice immediately flowed out.
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at the rice flowing out, and then looked at Xue Bizhu, a wise and rational person with a gentle personality.
"Bizhu, what is this?"
"There are a total of 10,000 shi of grain here! In Tongyuan County outside the capital, where you were first knighted, in a private house there, the younger sisters also secretly used all their savings to save 200,000 shi of grain.
!”
"Why do you save so much food?"
"We...we heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to raise troops to seek justice for you, eldest brother. Everyone knows that they hurriedly retreated from the Turks.
The younger sisters are worried that if there is not enough food and grass after he leads the troops to the capital, just... I just hope that I can contribute to your revenge!
We sisters have no children, and we don’t have much money to spend in the rest of our lives. I was thinking...I was thinking...I didn’t expect that Brother Liu is actually still alive!"
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Xue Bizhu who didn't dare to look at him. He glanced at the warehouse full of food in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while.
Cheng Kai squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of rice, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"Commander, these are all high-quality new rice. Apart from the official registration of grain merchants, hoarding grain and grass for no reason is regarded as rebellion. It is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman!"
Liu Mingzhi exhaled slowly.
"Just stay in the restaurant and wait for me to come back and take you home!"
"Wha...what...go home?"
"Well, if you don't mind!"
After Liu Ming finished speaking, he gave the two women a firm look and walked straight out of the restaurant.
"Cheng Kai, order the three armies to clear out all the remaining soldiers who continue to resist in the city before dark, and they must rush into the palace today or tomorrow morning!"
