Speeding towards Beijing from the west, we walked along the mountains, which is the famous Taihang Mountains.
When the Taihang Mountains reach the end of its remaining branches, there is a mountain named Xishan. After passing the Xishan Mountains, the open land in front is the capital city. Xishan actually means the mountain west of the capital.
It was already late at night when Yeletu led his troops to Xishan, and the capital was still hard to see in the snowy night.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the team: “The closer we get to the target, the less we can relax… The tactics of the Middle-earth are very different from ours, so be careful about ambush. Go to the two teams and explore the mountains on the left and right in front.”
Soon, two teams dismounted and started their Qinggong exercises to penetrate into the forest ahead.
The cavalry reined in their horses and looked around. The mountains and forests were dark in the night, and they looked a bit mysterious and scary for no reason.
There are many differences between fighting in the snow and the routine. For example, in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to judge whether there are people by the presence of startling birds, because there are not many birds in the first place.
But everyone still felt that the protector was too concerned. How could Xia Jing arrange an ambush here if he was in good condition? They didn’t have any soldiers.
Not long after, the scout reported: “There is no ambush.”
Yelatu breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems that they are really undefended, speeding up and sending out signals!”
“Whoosh!” A firework shot straight into the sky, and Qingqi headed straight for the capital.
Lu Jianzhang stayed up all night, looking at the moon on the roof of his house. When he saw the fireworks in the distance, he finally breathed out: “Get ready.”
Originally, Lu Jianzhang had no intention of rebelling. He followed Xia Longyuan and Xia Chichi.
Earlier, Xia Longyuan let a fake govern. As the prime minister, he could gain more benefits and power, but in fact, he was still vain. He was afraid that the best king in the world would suddenly become more serious, and he was frightened day and night. It is said that fakes have made many stupid moves, and everyone places the first responsibility on Xia Longyuan himself. If it were not Xia Longyuan’s indulgence, what could fakes do? But what about secondary blame? No one said.
The second culprit is of course his being the Prime Minister. To be honest, it is okay to say that he is the first culprit. If Xia Longyuan wanted to govern, he would have been the first to behead him.
Now Xia Chichi will not settle these old scores for the sake of the stability of the new dynasty. He, Lu Jianzhang, originally thought that it would be better to hang out with the new dynasty than before. He didn’t have as much power as before. It didn’t matter. The victory was stability. At the beginning of the founding of the new dynasty, Lu Jianzhang actually put forward many useful suggestions for revitalizing the economy.
But absolutely no, the new emperor shouldn’t really continue the previous emperor’s idea of suppressing aristocratic families. Although Xia Chichi didn’t show it for the time being, everyone understood the contents of the Cui family’s demotion.
Even the Cui family abandoned their martial arts in order to continue, what else would other families want to end up with?
You have just established a new dynasty and are withering everywhere. You don’t seek stability, and you actually start to use such a knife that hurts your muscles and bones. Putting aside his own interests, Lu Jianzhang also felt that this new dynasty had no future when talking about the prospects of the empire.
What’s even more funny is that within two days, the only army that could fight was transferred away to fight against the Wang family… Do you really think that the capital is as stable as Mount Tai?
Lu Jianzhang strode downstairs and led everyone out of the house.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly at the west gate of the capital, and Yeletu led the crowd to the city gate. Their internal response was more direct than Guichen’s at the Wang family, and the city gate guard opened the door directly.
Yelatu led his army straight in, stepped onto the main street without any hindrance, and went straight to the palace.
It’s easier than imagined… Previously, the bureaucracy in the capital was unorganized, and the Four Symbols cultists easily controlled the capital. But this time, the Four Symbols cultists were unprepared. Now I am afraid that most of them are sleeping and there are only a few outside the palace gate. The imperial guards, who were lazy and sleepy, were dumbfounded when they saw the barbarian army sweeping in.
“Whoa!” Yeletu chopped off a forbidden soldier with one knife, flew up, and slashed straight into the middle of the palace door.
The chaos inside the gate can already be heard, and the Four Elephants cultists are shouting: “The enemy is attacking! Guard the city gate quickly!”
For a strong man like Yeletu, the city gate’s protective power is really not great. Within two or three swords, the palace door opened, Yeletu turned back on his horse, and Qingqi swept in.
But the team was only halfway through the door when Yeletu’s movements froze and he reined in his horse in shock.
A neat military formation of spears stood in the square in front. The cold light on the spear points shone brightly in the snow. High-level protector.
It turned out that the emperor had been standing here for a long time, and the Four Symbol Cults were waiting in full formation. The chaos inside the palace was completely staged. They were waiting for them to break into the palace and were stuck in a position where they could not form their formation, unable to advance or retreat.
Yelatu suddenly looked back. Outside the palace gate, countless Four Elephants cultists appeared indistinctly on the left and right streets, blocking the main roads everywhere.
This is a complete trap!
The new emperor actually knew that they would come for a sneak attack, and when he knew about it, he didn’t set up an ambush outside, and forcefully led them to the palace gate for a decisive battle?
Xia Chichi looked at Yeletu up and down and sighed: “It’s not interesting. I thought it would be the Vulture tribe. The Vulture Hunters injured Changhe back then, and they can help him avenge him. Who is this? , I don’t know.”
Yelatu’s expression was extremely solemn. The new emperor was standing there, with no flaws visible in her body. With such magnanimity and martial arts, she was definitely not the middle-ranking person that people recognized. She was most likely a second-level secret treasure. , the power of the Earth Ranking!
It’s all wrong!
Yelatu took a deep breath: “Where is Lu Jianzhang?”
Xia Chichi smiled slightly: “Do you think he will lead the crowd to support? The so-called ‘people’ can’t even get out of their alley.”
She yawned and waved: “Fire the arrow!”
In the spear formation, arrows rained down like rain.
Yelatu shouted loudly, swung the sword in his hand and blocked the rain of arrows for his subordinates. At the same time, he shouted: “Where is the God!”
Xia Chichi sighed: “My venerable man is watching and we will fight well. What’s the use of asking this person and that person?”
Yelatu felt extremely aggrieved. He always felt that the other party was using a house-playing mentality, but was playing like a dog in a war that everyone took extremely seriously.
He couldn’t help but asked one more question: “Now it seems that your army and horses must not have gone to Langya. Where are they?”
Xia Chichi sighed and said: “We are ambushing the Li family’s follow-up troops in Taihang. You guys are too busy on the road, so you won’t go into the forest to explore all the way. At most, you will explore in the western mountains at the end? But we didn’t ambush in the western mountains. …By the way, since you have already passed the mountain and sent out the signal, the Li family behind saw it and thought that you had already explored it, so they probably wouldn’t have sent out sentries all the way. So you did me a small favor?”
Yaletu: “…”
“Whoosh whoosh!” The second round of arrows rained down like locusts, Xia Chichi moved lightly, and the snowflakes in the sky became even colder.
When Yeletu entered the city, at the other end of the capital, there was Wuyi Lane, where the residences of many senior officials and dignitaries of the capital were gathered. Countless servants from the residences of many high-ranking officials, headed by Lu Jianzhang, gathered out of the alley, trying to follow Yeletu. The rear rushed into the palace city.
Lu Jianzhang even planned to divide his troops: “Shou Yi, when it rains, you will lead the crowd to the Tang family and entangle the Tang leader. Do you have the confidence?”
Lu Shouyi and Pei Yushi are the leaders of the Lu and Pei families. Both of them are just lists of people, but when Zhao Changhe met Lu Shouyi in Bashu, he suspected that Lu Shouyi was close to the edge of the second level secret treasure. In fact, he has made a breakthrough these days, and Pei Yushi is almost the same. In addition, there are many powerful people in the ninth level of Xuan Guan who are close to the rankings of the major aristocratic families. Once the terrifying background of the aristocratic families is combined, it will be enough power to overthrow the capital.
If the Suppressing Demon Division was unprepared, it would not be difficult to defeat the Suppressing Demon Division, but it would be even better if it was just to entangle Tang Wanzhuang.
Lu Shouyi was quite cautious: “It’s hard to say, but it should be okay just to entangle the Tang leader… Qin Dingjiang had committed a serious crime and was imprisoned. Now the Suppression Division lacks other prestigious and capable generals. If the Tang leader is lost, Host, the Demon Suppressor has nothing to fear.”
A long sigh came from the air: “It would be great if your wisdom and planning could be used by foreigners… How can you be so calculated and heartless just to collaborate with the enemy and betray your master, and be infamy for thousands of years?”
Everyone in the alley immediately changed their expressions. When they looked up, Tang Wanzhuang was standing on the wall, watching them quietly. Next to him were the elite generals of the Demon Suppression Department, all of them with their bows and arrows aimed at the alley.
The snowy night is extremely cold, but the late Tang Dynasty makeup no longer has the thick mink fur as before. She is dressed in moon-white light clothes, as beautiful as a picture.
She was no longer afraid of the cold… but everyone present felt cold in their hearts.
