Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The cold wind howls and the setting sun looks like blood.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Imperial City of Northern Zhou was littered with corpses and rivers of blood. However, both sides of the battle still didn't relax at all, and instead became even more crazy.  The majestic imperial city is now mottled with traces of war erosion, and it is faintly sad and desolate. It no longer has the majestic nobility of the past.

    Yu Wenkang stood on the temporary high platform with his sword in hand, his back as straight as a green pine or cypress. However, his face was now covered with clouds, with a layer of blood on his face as he stared at the imperial city in front of him.  The chapped lips were pursed tightly.

    It has been two days. I originally thought that I could attack Huanglong in one go and oust the so-called prince. However, I did not expect that Yuwen Xiaobo, Yuwen Shenju, and Yuchi Yun were so difficult to deal with. They could stop them with only 30,000 people.  He was attacked by his own army of 100,000 men.  Judging by the time, the princes from all over the country should have received the message from the imperial capital. The reinforcements are already on the way. The reinforcements will arrive by sunset tomorrow at the latest. If the imperial city cannot be pacified, everything will stop.

    "Send the order and step up the attack on the city. We must break into the city before midnight tonight!" Yu Wenkang licked his cold lips and said seriously, exhaling white air from his mouth.

    The severe winter season is not suitable for fighting, but in the eyes of those in power, only victory and immediate interests are the first priority, and the lives and pain of ordinary soldiers are not in their consideration.

    Like Yu Wenkang, Qi Duke Yu Wenliang was also in a very heavy mood at this time.  The inner imperial city was still under pressure, and the pressure in his heart became increasing.  Although the outer city of Chang'an was in his hands, he became increasingly uneasy.

    It is true that Yuwen Yong was a wise king, but there were also many people in the Yuwen family who were dissatisfied with him.  You know, if Yuwen Huzhu had not killed the emperors before him, how could Yuwen Yong inherit the throne? In the eyes of others, he was just lucky.

    In this era of chaos, impetuousness and turmoil, careerists abound. "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have their own kind" has been vividly explained.  His younger brother Yu Wenzhi dared to rebel when Yu Wenyong was alive. What's more, now that Yu Wenyong has died of illness, how can the demons and monsters not take advantage of the opportunity?

    "Yu Wenkang, what are you doing? Can't you capture even a mere imperial city?" The irritability in his heart made Yu Wenliang complain about Yu Wenkang.  Although the Inner Imperial City was tall, it was just a small city and lacked troops. In Yu Wenliang's opinion, how could it take so much time to break the city in one fierce attack.

    "Could it be that Yu Wenkang has other plans and wants to monopolize" Yu Wenliang shook his head quickly and dismissed the thoughts in his mind. Now that the two of them are in alliance, how can they win if they can't trust each other.

    "My lord, look, someone seems to be coming!" Just when Yu Wenliang was in confusion, a general next to him suddenly exclaimed.

    Yu Wenliang suddenly raised his hand and looked in the direction pointed by General Pi. Suddenly there was a cloud of dust in the distance, and the sound of rumbling footsteps could be faintly heard in the wind.  Yu Wenliang's expression suddenly changed, his heart sank, and he shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert, prepare to meet the enemy!"

    Following his order, the rebels at the top of the city immediately took action. The archers drew their bows and set arrows, the trebuchet springs creaked, and the solemn and chilling atmosphere made everyone's breathing become heavy.

    ¡­¡­

    "Cheer up and speed up!" Yu Wensheng took the lead, staring at the majestic Chang'an City under the sunset, which looked like a prehistoric beast. Although he was dusty and tired, his eyes were still very bright.  .

    After Dingyang withdrew from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wensheng discussed with Yang Jian. He was afraid that the news of Yu Wenyong's death would cause turmoil, so he only took a short rest in Xunzhou and added 20,000 troops. A total of 50,000 people headed westward without stopping.  The ground came galloping.

    However, even so, Yu Wenkang and Yu Wenliang still rebelled with their cavalry. Fortunately, the imperial city has not been lost, and Prince Yu Wenyun has not yet fallen into the hands of thieves, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

    "General Yuwen¡ª¡ª" At this moment, a rider suddenly caught up from behind. Yuwensheng looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than Yang Jian.  He had suffered serious injuries and had been sleeping in the open for several days, traveling day and night. At this time, his face was very pale and his expression was a little tired, but his expression was still calm.

    Yang Jian¡¯s martial arts and strategies were extraordinary, and he risked his life several times to save the savior. Therefore, Yu Wensheng admired him very much and often discussed with him when encountering difficulties along the way.  Seeing Yang Jian calling at this time, Yu Wensheng couldn't help but stop and said with some concern: "Mr. Yang Guo, you are injured and can't see the wind!"

    "With the national crisis facing us, why should a mere injury be of any concern?" Yang Jian shook his head, and then looked at the Chang'an City Road from a distance: "General Yuwen, we have come a long way, and we have been traveling so fast. The soldiers are already exhausted. If we attack by force, we may not have much chance of victory.  ah!"

    Yu Wensheng frowned and said: "What the Duke said is reasonable, but the imperial city is in danger, and we don't know how long it can last. We can reduce their pressure if we arrive a moment earlier!"

      "What General Yuwen said is true." Yang Jian nodded and said: "I think we must plan this matter carefully to contain the rebels in the city as much as possible. It is best to enter the city and cooperate with the prince inside and outside to defeat the enemy and win!  "

    Looking at Yang Jian's determined eyes, Yu Wensheng raised his eyebrows and whispered: "What's the plan?"

    ¡­¡­

    "Who is coming? Tell me your name!" When Yang Jian and others arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, Yu Wenliang held the arrow stack in his hand, looked down at the 50,000-strong army that was covered with dust, and shouted in a deep voice.

    ¡°It turns out it¡¯s Duke Qi, Yang Jian is so polite!¡± Yang Jian stepped out from the crowd with a warm smile on his face. He didn¡¯t have any murderous intent, but was very respectful.

    He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Although Yu Wenliang was very wary of Yang Jian, his serious expression softened a little. He bowed slightly and said: "It turns out to be the Duke of Sui, disrespect, disrespect. I don't know why Duke Yang came here in such a hurry. If it's me,  If you can help me, you might as well say so!"

    Yang Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Yang really needs your help for something when he comes here this time!"

    "Oh?" Yu Wenliang raised his eyebrows, and he was even more wary, but his face didn't show any trace of authenticity: "Please tell me, Mr. Yang."

    Yang Jian's face became solemn, and he looked at Yu Wenliang with stern eyes and said: "My lord, Yang is coming from Dingyang. One of them is escorting the emperor's body back to the capital, and the other is escorting the emperor's edict."

    After hearing this, Yu Wenliang straightened up even more and stared at Yang Jian with burning eyes. He only heard Yang Jian continue: "The prince was framed by a villain, and he collaborated with Yu Yixing to assassinate the emperor, and even committed a heinous crime. It is really heartbreaking.  . Duke Qi understands the righteousness well and raises his sword high to 'clear the emperor's side and punish the traitors'. This is exactly what the emperor wishes. Yang is not willing to do his best."

    "Nowadays in the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Ji Yuwenkang is the most virtuous and respected. As soon as the emperor takes care of the funeral, he should be the one to preside over the reading of the edict." As he said that, Yang Jian took out a bright yellow scroll from the cherished place in his arms.  The dragon patterns are densely covered, which is exactly the imperial decree.

    Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict, Yu Wenliang's eyes suddenly became hot, and even his breathing became slightly quickened.  Judging from Yang Jian's words, Yuwen Yong is obviously not satisfied with the actions of the prince Yuwen Yun. If it is clear in the edict that a new army will be established, the actions of Yu Wenliang and Yu Wenkang are just acts of justice rather than rebellion.  .

    Yang Jian could see the change in Yu Wenliang's expression. He said sincerely: "My lord, please open the city gate and welcome the emperor's body into the city!"

    Yu Wenliang woke up, frowned a few times, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Yang, it is against the rules for the garrison troops to enter the city. Furthermore, the city is too small, so there may be some changes!"

    Yang Jian sneered in his heart, how could he not know that Yu Wenliang didn't trust him, but he had a look of approval on his face and nodded: "What the Duke said is reasonable, but if we disrespectfully send the emperor's body into the city, wouldn't we be guilty of a great crime.  Without waiting for Yu Wenliang to say anything, Yang Jian added: "If this is not the case, Yang will lead a thousand personal guards to escort the emperor's body into the city, and the others will be stationed outside the city, but the Duke will need to allocate some supplies."

    "Okay, just follow what Yang Guogong said." Seeing that Yang Jian was so sincere, Yu Wenliang let go of his worries a lot, so he waved his hand and said, "Come on, open the city gate and send the emperor off to the city."

    Yang Jian thanked him, casually ordered a thousand soldiers, and escorted the carriage containing Yu Wenyong's body slowly toward the city. Everyone looked sad and tired, and the formation was loose, and they didn't seem to be on guard at all.

    Seeing Yang Jian walking into the city without any movement, Yu Wenliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, his elbows and armpits became raw, and Yang Jian, who saw a smile on his face, suddenly stared and shouted: "Yu Wenliang committed treason and committed a heinous crime.  If someone finds it, kill him, brothers, kill him!" As he said that, Yang Jian pulled out his sword and rushed toward the city head like a mad tiger.

    "Kill the rebels, kill!" Yu Wensheng outside the city had been concentrating on preparations. Hearing Yang Jian's shout, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, riding his horse towards the unclosed city gate.

    "kill!!!"

    Fifty thousand Zhou troops suddenly broke out with earth-shattering shouts of killing, and rushed towards the city like wolves and tigers.

    "Close the city gate, shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!" Yu Wenliang's shrill shout rang out from the top of the city, with a look of shock and anger on his face, "Yang Jian, I'm going to kill you!"

    Although the arrows at the top of the city were like locusts, under the leadership of Yu Wensheng, the 50,000 Zhou army was not afraid of death and rushed into the city despite the dense rain of arrows.  In just half a quarter of an hour, when the city gate was about to close, Yu Wensheng finally led the crowd and rushed into the city with thunderous momentum.

    "Prince, don't worry, the reinforcements have arrived. The rebels will be killed. Kill them!" As soon as he entered the city, Yu Wensheng roared loudly, and the sound spread far and wide.

    "Hahahaha! The reinforcements have arrived, and it's time to turn defeat into victory." Yuwen Shenju heard the shouts of killing in the outer city, his solemn expression suddenly became happy, and he shouted loudly:??: "Yu Wenkang, today is your day of death! Go out of the city and kill the enemy!"

    "Yu Wenliang ruined my good deeds, ruined my good deeds!" Yu Wenkang's face was extremely ugly, and he sighed sadly, with a flash of ferocity in his eyes, and said bitterly: "Withdraw the troops, break out!" With that, Yu Wenkang got on his horse, and did not  Heading towards the east gate of Chang'an City without any hesitation.

    When Yu Wensheng led his army into the city, the outcome was certain. Even if Yu Wenkang resisted again, it would be in vain. He might as well break out of the encirclement and maybe escape with his life.
