Seventy miles outside the imperial city.
The three giants were finally reunited. Zhuge Liang, Chen Zhibao, Guan Yu, Li Siye, Qi Jiguang and others knelt down to pay their respects.
Lin Chengtian raised his hand as a courtesy: “What have you seen along the way?”
Chen Zhibao strode forward and responded calmly: “Thanks to you for arranging the troops to be divided into three groups, the Zhongzhou army was unable to escape in large numbers by water and land. We drove them back as soon as they showed up. Now the rest are gathered near the imperial city. ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard easily and spoke in a calmer voice than before: “Now that these armies know how powerful they are, they know they can’t fight head-on, so they turn into cowards!”
Hearing this, all the soldiers laughed loudly unconsciously.
The atmosphere in the army suddenly became heated.
Lin Chengtian glanced at everyone and said calmly: “It’s time for us to discuss the attack on the city. Zhuge, do you have any ideas?”
Every siege was Zhuge Liang’s area of expertise.
After saying that, Zhuge Liang returned to his normal expression and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Zhuge thought thoughtfully: “Liang thought that the imperial city was extraordinary and very different from ordinary cities. Most of them were princes, nobles and descendants of the Tian family.
But no matter how noble your status is, you are still a human being.
If you are a human being, you have humanity.
And people…” Zhuge Liang paused, and his voice became a bit colder, “They can be frightened and afraid, and they can easily do stupid things when they are desperate. ”
This is true. If you seize this weakness, you can do something good.
“Besiege the city.” Lin Chengtian suddenly had an idea.
As soon as it popped out of your mouth, it was unanimously recognized.
Guan Yu paused for a moment and did not forget to suggest: “It is possible to besiege the city, but be careful of the army escaping and try to cooperate inside and outside.”
Lin Chengtian smiled after hearing this, which made Guan Yu confused: “Don’t worry, based on my experience of living in the capital for eighteen years…”
“Except for the army, those who want to leave can’t leave, and those who don’t want to leave may be driven out.” “Give me the order to station on land and water. Watch carefully and don’t let a fly fly out.”
“Yes!” Everyone dispersed, leaving Lin Chengtian with twinkling eyes.
…
In the imperial city.
Before the siege started, news of Lin Chengtian’s troops approaching the city had already reached the city.
For a time, the capital was abuzz, and there were constant debates in the market.
Some said that Lin Chengtian wanted to kill, rob and rape indiscriminately.
Some say that Lin Chengtian wanted to use both water and fire attacks to replicate Zhuge Liang’s ability to control wind and rain.
The sounds of armored vehicles and galloping horses can be heard from one statue to another. Through the stone wall, they inquire into people’s hearts.
The streets were full of people, looking around, trying to find any scrap of information.
“Listen! It seems they are all dead soldiers fighting in the front line! They are getting closer.”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding pupils subconsciously shrank violently.
The woman looked horrified and hurriedly covered the child’s ears, but that was just to cover up, and voices of suspicion and discussion followed one after another.
“No, it could be Zhuge Liannu, who is about to attack the city!”
“A million-strong army that has never been defeated will definitely shed a river of blood…”
In an instant, everyone was like frightened birds, fleeing in all directions.
Regardless of whether it is a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart outside the city, it will always be regarded as the King of Zhennan.
After this, the atmosphere inside and outside the imperial city was highly tense, and everyone was in danger.
At first, the people did not move.
People in the capital, who were burdened with heavy taxes, didn’t always leave just when they wanted. Their families and roots were in the capital, and they felt that when the two armies met, the city would not be burned.
But when the Lin family’s battle flag appeared on the outskirts of the city, something quietly changed.
On this day, the captain of Jingzhao Prefecture came forward and gave a speech at Caishikou.
“Your Majesty ordered the rebels to be strangled, and he also mobilized all Dayu’s troops to the capital. Please be at ease.”
“Live a normal life, don’t panic, the traitor Lin Chengtian, what he wants most is to see the imperial city fall apart and destroy itself without attack!”
“Do you think we can make the traitor get his wish?”
Okay, there were sparse shouts from below.
Although it can’t be called Qi Xin, the official face and official uniform are still somewhat intimidating.
The captain glanced at the crowd, and the faces of all kinds were full of hope.
On the eve of the fall of the city, the captain’s job is not easy to do.
At least everyone in the city must believe that Master Wang can win.
“That’s right, no matter how powerful Lin Chengtian is, he won’t be able to get in for a while.”
“No matter how powerful the King of Zhennan is, it is impossible to capture the capital which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Besides, if you can’t even defend here, where else can you go?”
“Yes, yes. Only by believing in Your Majesty can you have a chance of survival.”
“…”
Seeing that he couldn’t make any waves, the captain smiled slightly.
Again, selfish people enjoy the world first.
After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the carriage. Taking advantage of the darkness, he led his family members to take a detour out of the city.
The same panic also occurred among princes, nobles and wealthy merchants.
Whenever there is a way, take the first stepRan away.
Immediately, the main roads in the capital were blocked and the chaos was so chaotic that people felt numb.
One stone sets off a thousand waves.
No matter how numb the people are, it is obvious to all.
“Fuck, are you leaving us here to die?”
“Get out of the city, you must get out of the city.”
A keen pioneer sensed something was wrong first and asked around for the route out of the city.
At this time, everything in the southeast and northwest was blocked.
Unless you are a high-ranking official, you may be lucky enough to spend money to buy it.
But in just two days, even Yeluzi was sold at a high price of three hundred taels per person.
But at this time, money is no longer money, and three hundred taels is nothing!
No matter how expensive it is, you have to escape.
What is silk and satin? Sell them all and exchange them for gold.
Many people are getting more and more panicked, knowing that if they stay for one more day, they will be in greater danger.
run! Must run!
Now I just regret that I didn’t leave earlier and believed the court’s lies.
For a time, the escape routes became more popular, allowing the smugglers to make a lot of money.
Not only the people were panicking, but also the court!
The remaining officials were very anxious and took the initiative to ask for advice on the exit route, but they were forced by their official positions; but most of them were unwilling to let all civil and military officials coexist with the imperial court.
The fig leaf of peace was about to be torn to pieces. Above the court, Empress Qinghe walked out leisurely.
The eyes that look down at the world make people shudder.
The extraordinary tranquility made all the officials look at each other.
“On the day when you received my salary from Yu the Great, you recited the letter of inauguration and vowed to live and die with the imperial court. Do you still remember?”
Prime Minister Hu Yong broke out in a cold sweat, “I will never forget this in my life…”
“I remember it vividly…”
“…”
Empress Qinghe looked at the old face under the official hat and smiled.
“You are all so pious. If so, I feel at ease.”
“Where is the Commander of the Imperial Guard?”
In full view of everyone, the commander of the imperial army walked into the court, followed by a group of people.
“Your Majesty, are you trying to arrest me?” Hu Yong looked livid and almost couldn’t hold back his curse.
Empress Qinghe acted as if nothing happened and said in front of the dark crowd, “Of course not.”
Suppressed purely by force? It’s a waste.
Just as people were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the commander of the Forbidden Army handing over hundreds of tokens!
