Chapter 163 Obtaining Longbei, Looking at Longnan

The next day!

Everything in Fanghan City was as usual. On the empty and quiet street, Song Jian led the guards out of his palace. He looked very tired. He didn't sleep well during this time, or he couldn't sleep at all.

There are tens of thousands of troops outside the city. If there is no large-scale attack, the city may have been breached long ago.

Under such circumstances, how could he sleep soundly!
He also thought about surrendering, but he was unwilling to do so, and he always had a little luck, so he continued to resist.

Just like today, he still has to go to the top of the city to inspect, boost morale, and stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, the soldiers and defenders on the top of the city will collapse, and the city will be handed over to others.

Song Jian kept thinking in his heart:

"In this kind of cold weather, he led an army of [-] to attack. As long as there is no food and grass, the soldiers will riot, and the orphan will have a chance..."

call out!call out!call out!
At this moment, arrows were shot from both sides of the street, densely packed, making it impossible for people to dodge. In an instant, many palace guards were attacked. Some of them were shot to the vitals and died immediately, while some were not shot to the vitals, but they also lost their fighting ability.

The rest of the palace guards, with frightened and angry faces on their faces, immediately surrounded Song Jian:

"Someone is assassinating, protect the king!"

These palace guards were formerly Liangzhou Yicong, Song Jian's most loyal subordinates.

Now that the palace guards are prepared, it is difficult to kill them even with arrows, so the people who shot arrows just broke through the door or the window, killed them, and went straight to Song Jian:

"kill!"

Seeing the clothes and appearance of these people, Song Jian didn't understand why, but the officials under his command wanted to change their masters now:
"Zhang Yi, Xie Chang, Zhu Xiang... you bastards, you guys even wanted to kill Gu when I appointed you officials!"

No one responded to him, only these killer assassins responded to him. They brandished knives and swords, shouted loudly, and roared with all their might, rushed towards the palace guards and towards Song Jian.

After a while, all the people present became one. These assassins were numerous and powerful, and they took advantage of the opportunity. The palace guards they attacked kept retreating, and Song Jian was protected in the middle. He looked crazy and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, go out with Gu Chong, as long as you reach the city wall, you can gather an army to kill them all, everyone has merit and everyone has a reward!"

Song Jian's words also stabilized the morale of the palace guards. Relying on their leather armor and richer combat experience, they forced their way through the assassins.

boom! boom! boom!
Clang!Clang!Clang!
The two sides fought and fought all the way until they reached the city wall. At this time, Song Jian shouted:
"General Ali, gather the army and Gu to put down the rebellion together, and kill those rebellious officials and thieves!"

The movement of this fight soon alarmed the defenders, especially Aliyun among them.

He rushed down the city quickly, followed by hundreds of soldiers, and at the same time shouted:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, let me see how I kill them, I will kill you if you are a traitor!"

With Ali Yun, and those guarding soldiers, Song Jian and the palace guards were all overjoyed. Seeing this situation, the assassins began to show fear on their faces, and gradually stopped fighting hard.

When Aliyun arrived, those assassins retreated even more, and some even turned around and ran away.

But at this moment, Zhang Yi brought the rest of the officials and appeared at the intersection of the street.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Zhang Yi directly shouted:
"General Ali, why don't you do anything at this time?"

Hearing this, most of the people at the scene were stunned. The one who couldn't believe it was Song Jian. He turned his head to look at Aliyun, but all he saw was a flash of a knife.

Song Jian's body and head were separated, and it was unbelievable until his death. He and A Liyun had always been very close. He called the queen, and A Liyun took his tribe to defect.

Pain!

There was actually a hint of shame on Aliyun's face, but only that, and then he raised his knife and shouted loudly:

"Kill these guards, follow me to the palace, kill, kill, kill..."

Everyone became one again, and as the last palace guard, with grief and indignation on his face, he fell down aggrieved, and the battle came to an end.

Then they rushed to the palace, which was actually a house, and merged several nearby houses, and then raised and thickened the outer wall.

When Aliyun came with his troops, he went in after paying some casualties. Perhaps because he was afraid that Song Jian would be lonely, he sent his whole family away.

Near noon, the city gates open!

The left and right cavalry took the lead in entering the city. It was not until they completely controlled the situation that Li Wenhou rode into the city under the guard of Yi Congying. He was at the gate of the city and saw the original officials kneeling to greet him. At the same time, he directly sent the head of Song Jian.

A look of complexity flashed across Li Wenhou's eyes, he was not very happy, and then said indifferently:
"Who is Zhang Yi?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi immediately bowed his hands and saluted, his face was slightly excited:

"Zhang Yi met the general!"

Then Li Wenhou continued:
"Who is Aliyun?"

After finishing speaking, Ali Yun smiled and said:
"Ali Yun met the general!"

Li Wenhou nodded, and then continued:

"You are all meritorious people, but now I still have a problem, I hope you can help me solve it, originally after I broke the city, I wanted to plunder the city's wealth and reward the army..."

"It's just that you are all meritorious people now, how can I kill you, how can I rob you, then I can't reward the army, lest the soldiers will be dissatisfied..."

"Therefore, I hope that you can collect money and food to reward these [-] soldiers. I don't care much about how the money and food came from. I will definitely remember who contributed the money and food. I will never lose his share in the future!"

After saying this, the faces of everyone present changed drastically. This was a naked threat, but now that the army had entered the city, they were powerless to resist.

Since this is the case, we can only find a way to meet Li Wenhou's requirements. No matter how the money comes from or who contributes the money, it can be exchanged for prosperity and wealth, high officials and generous salary...

Zhang Yi, Ali Yun and the rest of the crowd sometimes frowned, sometimes loosened their brows, and in the end they all had a fierce look in their eyes, and they already had the answer in their hearts.

Then Li Wenhou passed them and walked to the inside of the city, when Li Yao caught up:

"Father, if Song Jian's head is handed over to the imperial court, maybe he can get some benefits..."

Hearing this, Li Wenhou suddenly turned around, looked at Li Yao and said in a deep voice:

"Ayao, don't say such things in the future. Song Jian and I are fighting for territory and ambition. The imperial court is not worthy of letting my Liangzhou man fight for it, and it is also not worthy of using my Liangzhou man's head as a meritorious service!"

Li Yao's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment before he said:
"Baby understand..."

Li Yao shook his head helplessly, being reprimanded by his father, his heart was only calculating profit, while his father still cared about his feelings, probably still hated the court for killing Duan Jiong.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the real benefits have been obtained, and now the northern part of Longxi has basically been obtained, so the southern part of Longxi is also in sight.

At this time, Li Wenhou ordered again:

"Song Jian wants to be king, so he should be buried with the rites of a prince, give him dignity, and don't insult him!"

Left and right heard the words and immediately responded:

"only!"
