Chapter 2101 Arranging clothes and entering the palace
Yu Wenzhao did not watch Yu Wenxuan leave, but quietly watched the battle ahead.
The fighting in the streets isn't quite over yet.
The Northern Zhou Jia cavalry should be the only resistance force that has been supporting for a period of time. Unfortunately, their numbers are not large, and their horses are not fast. A few Han cavalry can deal with each one, and they can still relatively easily put this once like a nightmare to rest.
The same difficult opponents were dealt with.
However, there were still too many Northern Zhou cavalry to hold them back. The Han army had just occupied the main street. It is not known how many broken troops were fleeing in the surrounding streets and alleys.
The ground behind him was trembling more and more, as the armored knights of Yulin Cavalry entered the city.
Secretary Hou waved to Cheng Feng who was leading the team.
Cheng Feng laughed and held his hands, then led his armored cavalry past the light cavalry teams on both sides of the road and continued to advance.
Compared with the armored cavalry, the light cavalry did not have an advantage on the road leading directly to the east gate.
Once the enemy pushes in obstacles such as door jambs and carts, the advancement of the light cavalry will be suddenly blocked, and they may also be taken care of by the ambushed archers and crossbowmen on the houses on both sides. Even if the Han soldiers draw out their blunderbuss,
It may be inevitable that two punches are no match for four hands. Therefore, it is the best choice to let the armored cavalry rush in front and push directly through with overwhelming force.
The infantry arriving one after another from behind had already begun to approach the city, and Hou Mi waved his horse: "Let's go!"
The light cavalry agreed with a loud voice and followed closely the figure of the armored cavalry.
Soon, Yu Wenzhao, who was sitting on the walkway to the city, saw the Han general leading the infantry to the city gate.
Li Kuan raised his hand to Yu Wenzhao and said: "Shi Li Kuan, the marching commander of the Han Dynasty's general in the east, was ordered to take over the gate of Wangqin in Yecheng and met King Zhao."
Yu Wenzhao glanced at him, and he still had an impression of this descendant of the Li family in Longxi. He stood up immediately and smiled slightly: "From today on, there is no such thing as King Zhao. He is just Yu Wenzhao, the guilty man. There is no need to be polite.
"
Li Kuan couldn't help laughing: "You're welcome, but although brother Yuwen is not King Zhao, he is still a hero of the Han Dynasty. Of course, you can't neglect it, please!"
Yu Wenzhao also made a sideways invitation gesture: "Brother Li, please!"
The two of them climbed up to the city gate together. From here, they could see the brightly lit palace to the north.
I don’t know what’s going on over there? Yu Wenzhao really wants to know what ending his brother will choose in the end.

"Who is here?!" outside the Yecheng Palace, several guards shouted nervously.
The lone carriage in front of them on the empty street made people tremble. Especially when coupled with the blood and fire in the city, these guards almost subconsciously clenched their weapons.
The city wall of Yecheng is similar to that of most capital cities. It has an outer wall on the outside and an inner city inside. However, the inner city is very small. It mainly contains the residences of princes and nobles. The inner city is the palace city. The actual scope of the palace city is
It just means that the generals and the surrounding palaces are included in it.
After all, when it was first built, Yecheng was only a political center for Cao Wei. There were also competing branches such as Xuchang and Luoyang, so the palace could not be very large. After many years of war, many were destroyed, until the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
, Yecheng ushered in a relatively long period of peace for the first time, and the palace had just expanded to its current size.
In history, the unlucky city of Ye had not experienced a long period of stability before it was burned down by Yang Jian, who put down Yuchijiong's rebellion, in the name of fearing more separatist regimes.
.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage. He straightened his clothes and went straight forward: "The envoy of the Han Dynasty, Xu Shanxin, wishes to see you."
Several guards looked at each other.
Of course, the name of Xu Shanxin and Xu Jun was not unfamiliar to them.
There are many legends about him among the government and the public in Yecheng.
And just now, they saw fire rising into the sky in the inner city. Many soldiers went over to put out the fire in panic. Looking in the direction...it seemed to be the residence of this Jun Xu.
This guy burned down his own house and then came over to see His Majesty...
Are you sure this isn't a lunatic?
"The war has started and the chaos is overwhelming. It's better for Xu Jun to find a place to stay." The leader of the team said loudly.
"But please convey that your Majesty is willing to meet with me." Xu Shanxin said calmly.
The guards immediately didn't know what to do, so they could only open the door and go in to summon the message.
But Xu Shanxin was calm and stood waiting outside the palace gate. He remained unmoved despite the hostile looks cast by the guards around him.
Not long after, the guard who went in to report came out with an expression of disbelief, glanced at Xu Shanxin with a complicated expression, and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Shanxin smiled, waved his hand, indicating that the coachman behind him did not need to follow, and walked forward through the half-opened palace gate.
The palace door then closed behind him.
Xu Shanxin didn't look back and walked straight forward.
The high steps in front of the main hall were already piled with sandbags, and there were scattered deer villages and propped up shields. Many soldiers were staring at the front with vigilance. These elites of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were almost like dead soldiers. Of course they
He will not be shaken by any changes in the external front. He only knows that he is the last line of defense to protect Yu Wenxian, and those who want to harm His Majesty must step over them.
Yu Wenzhi, who was fully clothed, stood in the middle of the steps holding a sword, staring at Xu Shanxin.
Xu Shanxin climbed up the steps step by step, and none of the soldiers stopped him.
When he walked up to Yu Wenzhi, he cupped his hands.
Yu Wenzhi did not return the gift, but simply said: "Xu Jun is so brave!"
Xu Shanxin said with regret, "I'm just doing what I can. After all, the king of your country treats me well. At the last moment, if I can persuade you, that's all I can do."
Yu Wenzhi sighed: "Although I know that Xu Jun is not entirely kind-hearted, my father wants to see you, and I cannot stop you. Please go ahead."
Xu Shanxin smiled: "I think what I did was not a bad thing."
Yu Wenzhi was silent for a moment and said lightly: "I hope so."
Xu Shanxin said nothing and walked straight to the main hall.
The palace door had been opened, and the guards were all staring at him, but did not stop him.
Although this guy had a wide robe and long sleeves, he swayed when he walked, and his sleeves swung in the wind with great force. If he had really brought any weapons, they would have fallen out with a "sili bang".
Xu Shanxin straightened his clothes at the door before entering.
Yu Wenxian stood alone next to the dragon chair at the front of the hall, wiping his sword and dressed in armor, obviously ready to go into battle at any time.
Although Dugu Xiong, a civil servant, was not wearing armor, he was still holding a knife and stood under the Danqi, staring directly at Xu Shanxin.
"The envoy of the Han Dynasty, Xu Shanxin, is here to see your Majesty."
"Xu Jun has reached this stage, why don't you call him Your Majesty?" Yu Wenxian turned around and said calmly.
