Chapter 110 Two brothers up and down the city gate
Although they do not fight, hiding during the day and sneaking at night, thousands of soldiers and horses are like pebbles, and no matter how big the lake is, there will definitely be splashing.
The water splashed, leaving ripples all the way, stirring up whirlpools. They stumbled, one after another, and the number was reduced by half, but they still arrived at Taiyuan Mansion.
The fire was sparkling, and the entire Taiyuan Mansion seemed to be on fire in the night.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?" An Qingzhong asked angrily. Surrounded by a group of soldiers, he stepped onto the city wall.
"Your Majesty," the city gate general said, "there are about three thousand people."
An Qingzhong stomped on the city bricks: "Only three thousand? Why didn't you stop it when it was only three thousand? Is Pingxi dead?"
Chengen squeezed over: "Your Majesty, I think Pingxi has chosen the eldest son."
An Qingzhong stood behind the city wall, watching the torches and flags blazing outside the city. Surrounded by layers of soldiers and horses, there was a group of people not wearing military robes...
"Pingxi is a loser." He gritted his teeth and cursed, "My father gave him a tiger head, but he is actually a cat! I should kill him!"
Because the person who came here is the eldest son, and the person who gave him the order is also a young master. If two young masters fight, he will certainly not fight for one of them. To make him fight for peace, you two brothers must first fight for the winner.
.... Cheng'en advised: "There is nothing to fear about Pingxi. The prince will take care of him in the future. The most important thing now is the eldest son."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar outside the city gate.
"An Qingzhong! An Qingzhong, come out!"
The roar was like thunder, causing the soldiers and horses lined up above the city gate to shake.
An Qingzhong couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly around him and looked through the wall. Among the men and horses not wearing military uniforms, he saw a mountain-like shadow, which looked very much like his father...
At this time, the man was sitting on the horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and the firelight and night were intertwined and pulled on him, which was ferocious and terrifying.
He hadn't seen Ande Zhong for a long time. If he thought about it every day, he couldn't remember what Ande Zhong was like, but at this moment, one glance revived his memory.
Ande Zhong still looks that fierce!
"Now that An Qingzhong has become Prince Zheng and lives in the city, has he forgotten his origins and cannot wake up at night?"
"Have you forgotten that you used to kneel in front of my master's door to serve as a doorstep?"
"Tell him to get out and open the door for me!"
Ande Zhong's curses kept coming at him, and the other soldiers who were hit by them also slowly regained their fear of the eldest son...
"Your Majesty, we can't let him curse anymore." Cheng'en whispered, holding down the knife in his waist, "Kill him."
Although he had thought about killing Andezhong many times, when this man suddenly appeared in front of him, An Qingzhong suddenly panicked. Who leaked the news? How did Andezhong get here? Across Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road and Henan Road...
...
"How to kill? Where is Mr. Xi?" He turned around and asked, "Please call Mr. Xi quickly."
Xi Yan, that bitch, Cheng En curled his lips, must have known the news a long time ago, so he pretended not to know, no matter which of your brothers takes over, he will be the prime minister, how can he stand up to support anyone at this time.
"Your Majesty! The eldest son returned without an edict. This is a serious crime of treason." He said, "He stormed the city in the middle of the night and killed without mercy!"
Ah, yes! An Qing Zhong stroked his palms, calmed his mind, and his eyes returned to fierceness. He looked at the mountain shadow in the crowd and looked down from a high position. This mountain was different from his father. It was much smaller. And even if he used the name of the eldest son to charge in,
The defense line on the east road across the river is still surrounded layer by layer by its own soldiers and horses, with more than 3,000 people...
He has 80,000 soldiers at his disposal and a tall and thick city, so Ande Zhong will surely die outside the city!
"Ande Zhong!" An Qingzhong stood on the city wall and shouted, "You came without an edict. What is your intention? Dismount immediately and surrender! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise!" Ande Zhong glanced at the fat man standing out among the soldiers on the city wall. Before he could finish speaking, he came at him like a mountain of anger, "An Qingzhong! You kid! You have no father or brother in your eyes! Do you want to kill me?"
"
An Qingzhong felt as if he had returned to his childhood, being suppressed and humiliated by his elder brother. He was angry, angry and a little scared. He pointed with his hand: "You, be brave, you have met this king..."
Cheng En hurriedly supported him and whispered instructions: "Your Majesty, don't talk to him anymore, just give the order directly! Take advantage of the fact that there are not many others, take advantage of the fact that there are not many people who know, and make a quick mess."
Yes, the news that Ande Zhong is here hasn't spread yet. The generals who are friendly with him in the army don't know yet. He doesn't have many people. It's easy to kill him when the night is getting dark. If
Waiting for the news to spread, waiting for daylight to come out, and then killing him will easily disturb the morale of the army...
An Qingzhong took a step back and Chengen stepped forward.
"Ande Zhong came without an edict, intending to rebel. The prince has an order to capture Ande Zhong. If he dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy!"
At this order, the military formations in front of the city gate responded in unison, with a sound like thunder.
Although he expected this to happen, when he actually heard it, Ande Zhong was still filled with rage: "Boy! How dare you kill your brother!" He held his sword in front of him, looked at the military formation in front of him, and roared, "I, Ande Zhong, am here.
This! Who dares to kill me!"
I don't know if it was the roar, or the name Andezhong that made the people at the front of the military formation hesitate and cause a little commotion.
Seeing this situation, An Qingzhong was annoyed and frightened. He couldn't let Ande Zhong stay! He stood behind Cheng'en, raised the prince's seal and military talisman, and ordered again: "Kill him for me!"
The military formation was stampeding, and the people around Ande Zhong roared, preparing for a confrontation, a battle, or a massacre about to break out.
But in the dark night, there was another rapid and thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance, and at the same time, some soldiers stepped up the city wall and rushed to An Qingzhong's side.
"Your Majesty," he panted, "Governor Shi Chao is here."
Shi Chao! An Qingzhong's hand trembled, and Wang Xi's military talisman almost fell to the ground. The expression on Cheng'en's side was also very surprised.
What's going on? Why is Shi Chao here?
"Your Majesty, Governor Shi brought the armor given by His Majesty and said that if His Majesty were to come in person, the guards would not dare to stop him." Xin Bing said in a low voice.
Yes, Shi Chao was a general who was more valued by Ankang Mountain than Ande Zhong. From before the uprising to after becoming emperor, he sent many good things intermittently to express his brotherly love.
An Qingzhong was pacing back and forth. What was going on? Why did Ande Zhong come and Shi Chao come too? Who leaked the news?
"There are spies!" An Qingzhong looked up and looked at the generals around him, "Who told them the news?"
The generals looked frightened and shook their heads.
"Your Majesty," Chengen said, "It shouldn't be. Not many people know the news, and it can't be delivered so quickly. Shi Chao and Ande Zhong are separated from us by the guards."
Yes, to deliver the news, you must first pass through the location of the guards. If Shi Chao and An Dezhong want to come over, they must also pass through the location of the guards. Moreover, it is controlled by the very fierce Wu Ya'er couple. This is nothing more than a fairy with wings, right?
.
Strange...how could it become like this?
The battle under the city gate had already begun. There were sounds of fighting, and the newly approaching soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer, shouting "Captain Shi is here" and "Stop the private fight."
The two sides of the battle slowly stopped in surprise. The torches illuminated the incoming men and horses, who were also wearing ordinary clothes. Only one of them was wearing golden armor...
"Captain Shi!" Ande Zhong shouted.
Shi Chao, who was under the golden armor, saw Ande Zhong and shouted: "Young Master!"
He looked at this scene again: "What's going on?"
An Qingzhong slapped him hard on the city wall.
Shi Chao looked up and said loudly: "Prince Zheng, is there any misunderstanding?"
An Qingzhong took a deep breath: "Why is Governor Shi here?"
Shi Chao said calmly: "I heard some very bad rumors, and I couldn't bear to worry, so I came to visit His Majesty."
An Qingzhong said: "Captain Shi is worried too much. It's nothing."
Ande Zhong sneered and cursed: "Son, why didn't you open the city gate if there was nothing to do? Do you have a guilty conscience? Has His Majesty been harmed by you?"
An Qingzhong was furious and retorted: "Ande Zhong, you spout lies and spread rumors to confuse the troops. You are worthy of death..."
Shi Chao raised his hand to mediate loudly: "Two young masters, don't quarrel like this. If there is a misunderstanding, can't we just sit down and talk it out?"
An Qingzhong held the city wall, what should he do now?
"If you don't open the city gate, you are guilty of being a thief!"
"My eldest son, please be patient. Your Majesty's move must be a misunderstanding!"
Outside the city gate, Ande Zhong cursed loudly, and Shi Chao tried to persuade him with kind words... But he didn't mean well. None of the people who came tonight were good people, so he might as well catch them all, Anqing
Zhong crushed a city brick: "Kill..."
This time Cheng'en stopped him: "My lord, I'm afraid it won't work. When Shi Chao comes, there will be too many of them..."
An Qingzhong said angrily: "Can we have more people and horses?"
Cheng En said hurriedly: "Of course not. You can kill them if you want, but you will definitely have to go through a lot of troubles. The most important thing is to kill two people at once... I'm afraid that if the military's morale is chaotic, more people will take advantage of it.
Making trouble..."
Killing Ande Zhong alone can also explain and appease Shi Chao, who is a veteran in the army...
His father was about to die, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to control his troops.
"Now that Shi Chao is here." Cheng'en whispered, "The prince is trying to win over him. With his help, the eldest son can't do anything even if he is here."
An Qingzhong patted the city wall and said: "Captain Shi, the eldest son led troops and horses to make a surprise attack. Your Majesty was very frightened!"
Ande Zhong scolded him for talking nonsense.
Shi Chao then said: "That's it. Please take off your armor and go into the palace to explain and apologize to Your Majesty."
Removing the armor without bringing troops? Ande Zhong glared and wanted to scold him, but he endured it and threw down the knife. Then he looked at the city gate and sneered: "I'm afraid this kid doesn't dare!"
Removing the armor without bringing troops... An Qingzhong held the bricks of the city wall and closed the city gate when the time came. It would be easier to control than letting them cause trouble outside.
"Open the city gate!"
.......
.......
Darkness enveloped Taiyuan Mansion, but no one fell asleep.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves and footsteps on the street had long since awakened the whole city. No one dared to open the door, and no one knew what to do. The whole family could only hug each other and wait for the fate.
The shops facing the street were closed tightly. The clerk lay on the crack of the door, listening with his ears for a while, and watching with his eyes for a while. He listened to the seemingly uninterrupted footsteps of horse hooves passing by, and looked at the figures in the firelight flickering through the crack of the door. He held his breath.
He took a breath, and before he fainted, the people on the street finally finished leaving, leaving only sporadic patrols.
He crawled backwards in the dark and bumped into someone.
"Oh, Mr. Wei." He whispered.
Afterwards, he pulled him up and asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
The clerk waved his hand: "It's not that we are attacking the city. It seems that a lot of people have come. They are not soldiers and horses. They are wearing ordinary clothes. There are also military flags in a trance. What, An, what, Shi..."
"Ande Zhong, Shi Chao?" Wei Zhi's voice was surprised, "Are they here?"
Oh, yes, no, there are these two big figures in the rebel army. The guy sat down on the ground again: "Oh, Ankangshan is really going to die, these two people have been called."
Wei Wei smiled and said: "That's really great."
Okay? The guy looked up. He couldn't see his unfinished expression in the darkness, but he could feel his joy. What's so good about this?
"They're here." Weizhuan chuckled softly, "We don't have to die."
What? The man frowned. These two rebel generals are here. Even if Ankang Mountain dies, Taiyuan Prefecture will not be in chaos, but will be stronger. In that way, Mrs. Chu, Wu Yaer, and the attack on Taiyuan Prefecture will be more powerful.
The hardship is even more severe, and they have even less hope of survival.
Weiwei patted his head: "So, she is the only one in the world who dares to do this."
