In the dark sky, the wind stopped and the trees were quiet, Yang Yue led the troops, and traveled quickly in the dark, passing through Puzhou and forcing towards Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Midnight, Chang'an.

The night was shrouded, and Chang'an City stood in the center of the empire like a giant covered in a mysterious veil.

Quietly in the city of Chang'an, everything is quiet, only on the city wall, the defenders responsible for guarding and patrolling, quietly stay in the corridor of the city wall, to ensure that Chang'an is worry-free.

Chang'an City, East Gate!

On the city wall, there are torches, patrolling and guarding the guards, walking back and forth in the walkway, and the defense is tight.

If there is any disturbance, the defenders of the city wall will immediately cheer up, and Chang'an City is a capital division, and they can't be a little careless.

Tonight, the defender Guo Nu, as usual, after changing guards with the front army, went to the city tower.

After arranging for the garrison and starting to patrol the city walls, he went to the castle tower and sat down by the fire to rest.

Since he served as the general of the city, he did not seek merit, but he sought no fault, fortunately in the past three years, there has been no accident.

Tonight, he personally patrolled the city walls, and everything was safe. However, unexpectedly, he had just sat by the fire and had not yet fallen asleep.

A guard hurriedly ran in, looking panicked, and said, "General Guo, there seems to be a voice coming from the east."

"What's the matter, could it be that there are people from the rivers and lakes who forcibly climb the city wall at night?" Guo Nu asked subconsciously.

The guard's head swayed like a rattle, and he said, "General, listen like the voice of a cavalry!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Guo Nu didn't dare to be careless, grabbed the saber leaning against the wall, hurriedly got up, rushed out of the city tower, and hurriedly walked towards the city wall.

On the city gate, all the guards looked solemn, all vigilant, pricked up their ears, and stared straight to the east, in the middle of the night, in the dark place of the east, there seemed to be a faint sound, faintly increasing.

Guo Nu came to the city, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, in the dark night, his eyes were black, and he couldn't see anything, only the sound was getting louder and louder.

Guo Nu didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly ordered the guards around him: "Pass the order, order the brothers, and strengthen the vigilance." ”

The guards heard the noise and hurried away.

Guo Nu hurriedly returned to the city tower, his expression was complicated, puzzled, outside the south gate, stationed in the South Ya Sixth Army, very close to the east gate, who dared to lead the army from the east gate.

In his mind, he couldn't help but have a terrifying thought, it could be that someone wanted to rebel and attack the city from the east gate.

However, Guo Nu quickly dispelled this bizarre idea, Chang'an City has the King of Qin in charge, the commander of the left and right Yulin Guard, the left and right Shenwu Guard, and the left and right Long Wuwei, a total of more than 200,000 elites, defending the imperial city on all sides, who dares to rebel.

However, in the dark place on the east side, the sound did not decrease, on the contrary, it became louder and louder, and when he listened less, Guo Nu's face suddenly turned pale, and he exclaimed to the deputy general next to him: "It's not good, this is tens of thousands of cavalry approaching, beating drums quickly, and transmitting signals." ”

"General, are you sure?" The adjutant general heard the sound and asked incredulously.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital, and they often patrol and must make sure that nothing goes wrong. The sudden beating of the drum tonight will wake everyone in Chang'an City, and if it is not for the cavalry, it will bring unnecessary problems if it is not for the cavalry.

Guo Nu snorted coldly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, beat the drum immediately, if something goes wrong, Ben will personally bear it." In addition, you personally go to the palace and report to the emperor. At the same time, he sent someone to the palace of the king of Qin, quickly told the prince, reported to the prince, and invited the prince to come to the town. ”

During the conversation, the sound from the east became louder and louder, and the deputy general Lin Tao heard a rumbling sound from the east, and gasped, and there were really cavalry approaching.

At this time, Lin Tao looked puzzled, at noon, King Yan led 300,000 troops to leave Chang'an, at this time, there were a large number of cavalry of unknown origin, could there really be a rebellion.

The person who came was unknown, how dare Lin Tao be careless.

Soon, at the head of the East Gate, rumbling drums sounded, breaking the silence and silence of Chang'an City, spreading all over Chang'an and beyond.

Lin Tao also hurried to the palace on horseback, and sent guards to the palace of King Qin by the way.

Guo Nu quickly descended from the city tower, came to the head of the city, and ordered the whole army to cheer up and actively prepare for war.

The invading enemy, whose identity is unknown, whose numbers are unknown, whose intentions are unknown, would be terrible if they were identified as rebels.

The defenders of the city wall pulled out the iron-tired bow, drew the horizontal knife, and held it in their hands with a serious expression.

This garrison army is from the right god military guard commanded by the king of Qin, and it is strong in battle, loyal to the emperor, and all the soldiers are brave on the battlefield.

In the east, the sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, and the defenders are ready for battle, and if the invading enemy forcibly attacks the city, they will not hesitate to return fire to ensure that the imperial city is worry-free.

After a cup of tea, the cavalry in the distance, with great momentum, rushed to a place five hundred steps below the city wall, galloped the cavalry, and gradually stopped the formation.

At the head of the city, Guo Nu didn't know how many troops there were under the city wall, but when the cavalry rushed in, there was a sound of overwhelming sounds, proving that there were a lot of enemies who came to attack.

Guo Nu didn't dare to hesitate, stood quietly in front of the city, stretched out his head, and shouted to the bottom of the city wall: "Who is coming, report the name, Chang'an is an important place in Beijing, and you have to make a second." ”

After the words fell, Guo Nu's eyes stared at the bottom of the city wall, and all the defenders also held their breath.

At this time, under Yang Yue's instructions, Yan Yuefeng rode forward, came to a place two hundred steps under the city, looked up at the city wall, and shouted: "General Guo, this general is Yan Yuefeng, a loyal general under the account of King Yan, and the person who led the army is King Yan, please ask General Guo to open the city gate, and King Yan needs to go to the palace to face the saint." ”

King Yan? Loyal general Yan Yuefeng, Guo was puzzled, at noon, King Yan led the right military guard to open Chang'an, went to the north to defend against the enemy, why suddenly appeared at the east gate of Chang'an.

Guo Nu didn't dare to be careless, secretly vigilant, gasped, and said categorically: "General Yan, General Fulao informed His Royal Highness King Yan that the city gate was closed, and without the emperor's order, the last general would not dare to open the city gate rashly." ”

"Guo Nu, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and open the city gate, King Yan has something important to report, delay the war, are you responsible?" Yan Yuefeng was angry and directly refuted Guo Nu.

When Guo Nu heard this, he was also angry, and threatened with words: "General Yan, according to the emperor's order, you should be on the way to Youzhou, you should not appear under Chang'an City, and quickly inform King Yan to leave, otherwise, Hugh will not read the feelings of the robe and order the whole army to shoot him." ”

"Eight calves." Yan Yuefeng was furious, his face was unhappy, he rode his horse back, came to Yang Yue, and said, "Lord Wang, Guo Nu refuses to open the east gate. ”

Yang Yue bowed his head, pondered for a while, and said to Yan Yuefeng: "Tell the whole army to move forward, shout in unison, and hand over the crown prince, Gao Shengyan." Remember, don't get out of range of your longbow. ”

"Yes!" Yan Yuefeng said.

The crown prince and Gao Shengyan are ready to frame him, and he will never let the two go.

Tonight's actions, even if he is regarded as a forced palace by the emperor, he will let the crown prince and Gao Shengyan be punished.

Yan Yuefeng passed Yang Yue's order, followed Yang Yue closely with Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, and Wei Jiyan, and the cavalry behind him lined up neatly, marching forward with great momentum.

"Hand over the crown prince and hand over Gao Shengyan."

"Hand over the crown prince and hand over Gao Shengyan."

"Hand over the crown prince and hand over Gao Shengyan."
