    "Tongzhou City is lost?" Seeing Yang Rong vomiting blood, they hurriedly supported them. At this time, Scholar Yang no longer had the strength to break away from them, and murmured in despair: "How could this happen? How could this happen" Yang Rong's eyes slowed down  After slowly throwing himself onto Xu Huaiqing's body, he finally understood that it turned out that the other party deliberately refused to escape, not to show provocation, but to anger and attract himself!  Pin yourself firmly outside Tongzhou City and let all your attention be on him!  Create an opportunity for Wang Xian to make money "I am a sinner for the ages!" Scholar Yang screamed, suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword, and tried to wipe it from his neck!  They quickly grabbed his arms, preventing Yang Rong from committing suicide.  Everyone shed tears and urged: "Mr. Ge, don't do it! Let's take back Tongzhou City again!" "How to take it" said Yang Rong with tears streaming down his face.  He knew the situation of Tongzhou City very well. The city had high walls, thick walls, complete facilities, and mountains of food and grass in the city. With Wang Xian's ability, it was easy for him to hold on for a year and a half.  And the imperial court, without Tongzhou's food and grass, couldn't hold on much longer "Maybe Tongzhou hasn't been lost" At this time, Li Xian suddenly whispered.  When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Xian. Yang Rong also stared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?" "There are still 30,000 troops in the city, and the south gate, north gate, and east gate are also in our hands.  " Li Xian didn't dare to look into Yang Rong's eyes.  "What?!" Yang Rong suddenly came to life, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xian, and said angrily: "Then why did you run out?!" "I" Li Xian said timidly: "I'm here to help Mr. Ge  The one who reported the news" These words are naturally false and cannot be false anymore.  The real situation is that he was driven out of his mind by the pursuers behind him, and he actually ran to the north gate in one breath!  At this time, there were still thousands of defenders at the north gate. Seeing this, they hurried forward to take over the general.  Li Xian was completely frightened. When he saw thousands of cavalry rolling in behind Wu Wei and others, he was filled with fear. He dared not stay in the city. He actually shouted to the guard on the city: "  Open the city gate quickly!" The guard had long seen that the city was in chaos. It was meaningless to close the city gate tightly at this time. On the contrary, it would block the arrival of reinforcements. Naturally, he immediately obeyed the order and opened the closed city gate!  While waiting for the city gate to open, Li Xian pulled a cavalryman off his horse.  As soon as the city gate opened a crack, he screeched and rode out of Tongzhou How could he dare to tell Yang Rong such a real situation  Hearing that Tongzhou City had not been captured yet, Yang Rong ignored Li Xian and quickly mounted his horse and led his army to return reinforcements.  After more than ten miles, fast horses galloped and arrived in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, Yang Rong led 20,000 cavalry to the gate of Tongzhou City.  Because the west gate had been captured, Yang Rong went straight to the north and wanted to enter the city from the north gate, but he saw that the gate opened by Li Xian was already closed.  Yang Rong felt a thump in his heart, but still refused to give up and asked someone to call the door.  The one who answered him was the bed slave at the top of the city. The powerful crossbow roared over and nailed the shouting Qianhu, including their people and their horses, to the ground!  The officers and soldiers under the city were completely silent. They didn't know that the north gate had also fallen into Wang Xian's hands. Yang Rong resentfully turned his horse and gritted his teeth and said: "Go to the east gate!" The 20,000 cavalry had to continue to circle the city. After a while, they turned to the east gate again.  At the east gate, I happened to witness the scene where Wang Xianjun captured the city and threw the imperial dragon flag down the city wall.  Yang Rong's face was livid, and he continued to circle the city, leading his men to the outside of the south gate The defenders at the south gate were very enthusiastic, and they waved them to come quickly, and even pretended to move the suspension bridge.  Dropped half of it.  It's just that Yang Rong and others have been fooled too many times. How can they move forward without seeing the suspension bridge completely lowered?  Sure enough, the suspension bridge stopped descending, and the defenders at the top of the city sighed in disappointment.  "You're still lying to us? Don't even think about it!" After seeing through the enemy's trick, Yang Rong couldn't help feeling proud.  "You're so proud!" Yang Rong's face was livid, he was a dignified bachelor, and he even used curse words!  Then Zuo Zuo suddenly woke up, oh, why were all four gates of Tongzhou taken down?  What's so great about this "Mr. Ge, why don't we go to Ximen again" One of his subordinates suggested in a low voice, seeming to feel that it would be unsatisfactory not to go around the city.  Yang Rong didn't even have the strength to curse, and he fainted as soon as his vision went dark  The nine gates of Beijing are tightly closed, and it has entered a wartime state many days ago.  Not surprisingly, rumors spread all over the city, various prophecies and nursery rhymes circulated, millions of soldiers and civilians were panicked, and there was a scene of doomsday.  Naturally, the imperial court could not allow the people's morale to weaken and tried its best to change people's hearts.  ??????????????Besides those useless words, there are two major things that really played a certain role.  First, Yang Rong led tenA large army and two hundred thousand civilians went to Tongzhou to transport grain.  Second, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally took command and led an army of 50,000 people out of the city to fight Wang Xian.  In order to inspire the people, the imperial court also held a grand expedition ceremony. Seeing His Royal Highness, the prince in golden armor, leading 50,000 troops out of the city in a mighty manner, the people in the capital did feel a little at ease.  He secretly thought: 'When the Duke of Zhen kills Zhu Zhanji, will he calm down and stop fighting' To this day, no matter how the court publicizes it, the people have already concluded that it was the prince and Yang Shiqi who forced Wang Xian to rebel.  The common people seem to hate these two people more than the Duke of Zhen Guo who pacified the grassland But the first thing is indeed something that everyone likes to hear. If there is food at home, there is no panic in the heart; if there is food in the city, the soldiers and civilians are not panic.  Seeing the carts of grain and grass being transported back to the capital, and the people lined the streets to welcome them, they finally felt less panic.  However, after a while, the subsequent grain trucks entering the city disappeared. The people looked at each other, wondering what the trouble was.  After a series of bad news, everyone became extremely pessimistic.  What's even more sad is that it turned out that their pessimism was right After waiting for an hour, they finally waited for dozens of scattered grain trucks to return to the city in a hurry, and then the city gate closed with a bang.  Although the officers and soldiers kept secret about what happened outside the city, the news spread through the mouths of the people. The people finally knew that Wang Xian had sent troops to cut off the food transportation channel!  In other words, Wang Xian¡¯s army is dozens or dozens of miles outside the capital!  No wonder the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they closed the city gates and sent their troops to the city walls!  "It's over, it's over," the extremely disappointed people, no longer caring about the Dongchang spies, loudly vented their emotions: "There is no way Tongzhou's grain will be transported back to the capital!" "No way" Some people said in disbelief:  "There is an army of 100,000 people under the leadership of Yang Ge." "What the hell!" Countless voices retorted at the same time: "With two million troops in the imperial court, why didn't Duke Zhen Guo come to the capital in one fell swoop? Yang Rong's army of 100,000 people  "It's not even enough to fill the gap between his teeth!" "That's right" More people said extremely pessimistically: "Let's see, we don't have to wait until next year, the capital will have the surname Wang!" "That's not it.  The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. Why can¡¯t such a big capital survive for a month? "" Come on, hurry up and finish your calculations, and you can still have a peaceful New Year" Those who hold this view are absolutely sure.  Not a few said: "Who is the emperor or not, what does it have to do with us people?" "Yes, I heard that the people's life in Shandong is very prosperous" As he said it, the people's fear was actually eliminated a lot,  Many people are even hoping that Wang Xian will end this war quickly.  After all, they are too familiar with Wang Xian. After all, he is the hero who swept away the Tartars. After all, Shandong under Wang Xian's rule is not too far from the capital In the final analysis, this is not an alien invasion, but a civil war among the same clan, just like Zhu Di replaced Jian Jian.  Emperor Wen, the common people did not have to fight with him to the death But the ministers in the court could not be as indifferent as the common people. No matter from the standpoint of loyalty to the emperor, or from the realistic perspective of being an emperor and a minister, they could not accept Wang Xian replacing the Zhu family in the world.  All the ministers gathered in the palace, anxiously waiting for the results of the battle outside the city.  Whether it is from the direction of Daxing or Tongzhou, as long as there is good news, they can let go of their worries.  The ministers discussed the war situation sadly while looking at the empty dragon chair high up from time to time.  I heard that the emperor was very ill this time, and some rumors said that he was even terminally ill It was true that the house was leaking and it was raining, and the ship was broken and it was in trouble.  Could it be that God is really going to destroy the Zhu family?  Waiting until dark, I heard that the grain transport team had formed a formation to protect themselves, and Xu Huaiqing could not succeed in a sneak attack. I also heard that Yang Rong personally went out of the city and organized an army of 90,000 to encircle Xu Huaiqing with all his strength, and had surrounded him within a dozen miles.  The ministers relaxed a little and went home to eat and sleep, so that they would have the strength to continue working in the palace the next day.  Early the next morning, the ministers gathered in the palace again. They all yawned again and again, with dark circles under their eyes. They smiled wryly and greeted each other.  "Master Chen, you didn't sleep well either?" "Hey, I have nightmares every time I close my eyes. How can I sleep well." "Dreams are backwards. It seems that there will be good news today." "I hope so  " They didn't let them wait too long. As soon as the sun rose, a messenger rushed into the palace.  The messenger went straight to Yang Shiqi, knelt down and reported: "Chief Assistant, His Royal Highness has a military report!" Yang Shiqi took it with a heavy face, took a deep breath, and opened the military report.  All the princes and ministers held their breath. After Yang Shiqi finished reading, he hurriedly asked: "Chief Assistant, what's going on?" "?His Royal Highness has joined Daxing's army, but Wang Xian is nowhere to be seen. According to His Highness's inference, Wang Xian should have gone to Tongzhou to rescue Xu Huaiqing.  "Yang Shiqi didn't hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has led an army to go north to Tongzhou.  " After saying that, Yang Shiqi hurried to Qianqing Palace to report the latest situation to Emperor Hongxi, who was bedridden. "Haha!  "As soon as Yang Shiqi left, all the ministers laughed happily: "Now the man named Wang has fallen into a trap. An army of 200,000 surrounded him, and it is difficult for him to fly even with wings!  "
