No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 486 Counted!
Luo Junyao and Jiang Yan looked at each other, just... very embarrassed.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why would Marquis Yueyang think so?"

Jiang Guanmu said: "This girl really looks like a smart and well-behaved little girl, but... how can a young lady who really doesn't know the world appear here, and still be so calm and calm?"

Jiang Yan looked at Luo Junyao: "Princess, you have revealed your secrets."

Luo Junyao spread his hands helplessly, and sighed: "I can play the real silly Baitian, but there are still things that Yue Yanghou needs to cooperate with."

It's just that I originally planned to scare Jiang Guanmu, but it turned out that Jiang Guanmu exposed her first, which is a bit uncomfortable!

Jiang Guanmu looked at her and said, "So, who the hell is this girl?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Hou Yueyang, don't be nervous, I'm really not a spy sent by the enemy."

Jiang Guanmu was noncommittal, but looked at Jiang Yan.He believed that she was not Gao Yuren's secret work, but the origin was still unknown.

Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed. After all, Jiang Guanmu was the master of the general's mansion and the master of Jianling City. It was quite dishonest to think about keeping so many things from him.

"This is... ahem, Princess Regent." Seeing that Luo Junyao didn't care, Jiang Yan didn't hide anything anymore.

The expression on Jiang Guanmu's face also froze for a moment, and soon he got up and got out of bed, and bowed respectfully, "Chen Jiang Guanmu kowtows to the regent princess."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "You don't need to be too polite, Marquis Yueyang, you are still injured, get up quickly."

Jiang Guanmu glanced at the wound on his chest, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Princess, a little skin trauma."

The wound looked a little scary, but it was actually a skin wound that couldn't stand scrutiny. I don't know where the genius of the Zhen Guojun came from, and made the wound quite realistic. At this moment, it still looks a little scary.

"..." Jiang Yan decided not to tell him that the wound was forged by the Princess Regent herself.

"Yueyanghou, Mrs. Han may suffer some grievances, but this princess guarantees that her life will be safe, so please don't take offense." The three of them walked to the outer flower hall and sat down, Luo Jun said in a deep voice.

Jiang Guanmu was stunned when he heard Mrs. Han's three words, and then realized that she was talking about Mrs. Han.

Jiang Guanmu couldn't help but look up at the Princess Regent sitting there, always feeling that her tone of voice was a bit meaningful.But looking at her expression is calm as usual, nothing unusual.

"Wangfei is serious, it's all for Dasheng, so why bother?"

Jiang Guanmu hastily said: "Han's family background is humble, and his knowledge is shallow, so that he was deceived by Gao Yu's secret work, and even asked the princess to forgive him."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Marquis Yueyang, as long as this plan can come true, Mrs. Han will take credit for it. It's a trivial matter, and she hasn't revealed any important secrets, so it's okay."

"Thank you, Princess." Jiang Guanmu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly cupped his hands.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Yue Yanghou, go and get busy, everything can be done according to what we discussed before."

"Yes, I will retire." Jiang Guanmu bowed and resigned.

"The concubine really doesn't like Jiang Guanmu very much." Jiang Yan shook his head while looking at Luo Jun.

Luo Junyao snorted lightly and said, "Indeed."

Jiang Yan smiled, "Jiang Guanmu is actually not a bad person, his ability and integrity are passable, and he is also loyal. Only when it comes to family affairs, he is a little confused."

"Are you speaking for him?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Jiang Yan shook his head quickly and said, "No, tell the truth."

Not to mention these generals who have been stationed at the border for a long time to separate the two places from their families, that is, the dignitaries of Shangyong, how many of them are not wives and concubines?

Taking concubines will not be criticized by others. What is really criticized is the indiscriminate distinction between wives and concubines.

Those sour literati also know that "a wife of dross should not be abandoned". These generals are not at home all the year round, relying on their wives to have children and be filial to the elderly. If this is still the case, wouldn't they be inferior to those literati?

Luo Jun said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him, I can still distinguish between public and private."

Jiang Yan nodded and stopped talking. Although the princess is not very old, she still does things well.

In the dead of night, another secret letter was sent to Gao Yu's army.

Seeing the contents of the secret letter, He Ruomuti's usually calm and steady handsome face finally showed a touch of ecstasy.

General Jamuka, who was also sitting in the big tent waiting for the news, also understood a little bit when he saw him like this.

"Eldest Prince, what did the letter say?"

He Ruomuti smiled and said, "Jiang Yan really committed suicide. He killed Jiang Guanmu and blocked the news, saying that Jiang Guanmu had secretly left the city to meet the reinforcements. Huang Ying had already had someone secretly inform Jiang Guanmu's subordinates of the news. Several generals under Guanmu's command decided to send troops to besiege the general's mansion in the morning to avenge Jiang Guanmu and seek justice from Jiang Yan. In addition, Wang Shuang, one of Jiang Guanmu's subordinate generals, used to be Wu Yi's subordinate, and he was willing to join Gao Yu .”

Jamuhe also showed a smile when he heard the words, but he is a veteran after all, so he should be more cautious.

"What about other news?" Jamuka asked, "Will there be fraud?"

He Ruomu said: "Jiang Guanmu has never appeared. His concubine and two children have been placed under house arrest by Jiang Yan. And his confidantes in the mansion have all been thrown into the dungeon. Now the entire general's mansion is under house arrest. It's under Jiang Yan's grasp. Most importantly...Huang Ying said that our people have identified Jiang Guanmu's body."

No one would really kill a general of this level for a trick.

Even if he wins in the end, Jiang Yan cannot get rid of his guilt.

Jamuhe lifted his spirits and said, "What does the eldest prince mean, we can do it now?"

He Ruomu nodded and said, "That's right. Jiang Guanmu's subordinates have decided to attack at five o'clock in the morning. We will attack the city after we confirm that they will attack. At that time, Wang Shuang will open the west gate. We will enter from the west gate and quickly occupy it." The nearest north city gate opens the city gate for soldiers and horses outside the city, and enters the city in two ways."

Jamuhe nodded and said: "When the time comes, the general will lead the army into the west gate, and ask the eldest prince to lead an army to wait at the north gate."

He Ruomuti cupped his hands and said, "Then there will be General Lao."

Jamuhe hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is serious. It is an honor for Jamuka to serve the king and the eldest prince!"

He Ruomuti smiled and said: "So, General Jamuka went back to rest earlier, the Zhen Guojun is not mediocre after all, there may not be a bloody battle in the city tomorrow."

Jamu clasped his fists together, "Yes, I will retire at the end."

It is the darkest time of the day and the coolest time in this hot summer.

Gao Yu's soldiers and horses quietly lurked to a place not far from Jianling City. The tower was quiet, with only a few fires, and occasionally patrolling soldiers passed by.

In the night, He Ruomuti's eyes were shining brightly, with longing and eagerness faintly in his eyes.

Breaking into Chixia Pass is nothing. Only when Jianling City is captured, Gao Yu's army can barely gain a foothold in the pass and can truly fight against the Dasheng people.

If Jianling can be won in one fell swoop in this battle, those old-fashioned people in Gaoyu should have nothing to say, right?

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a light suddenly lit up in Jianling City.

Bright fireworks rose and bloomed from the city, especially conspicuous in the dark night.

Looking at the flame, He Ruomuti's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Prince, Ximen has started." She Sai who was standing beside He Ruomuti said in a low voice.

He Ruomuti nodded, with a smile on his face and said: "Send the order and get ready to attack the city."

"Yes!"

In the west city, the city gate was quietly opened a crack at the appointed time, and someone on the city tower held a lantern and lit it outside.After the light of the lantern was dimmed three times, a tall figure appeared on the top of the city.

In the past few days of fighting with Dasheng soldiers and horses, Zamuhe naturally recognized the man, who was the Yanzhou army general Wang Shuang who was willing to take refuge in them mentioned in Xizuo's letter.

Jamuhe was overjoyed, turned his head and said, "Siege the city!"

The soldiers and horses hidden in the darkness rushed towards the city gate immediately. In the dark night, there were no lights, no horns and drums. These Gao Yu elite soldiers were obviously well-trained, and they rushed forward silently one by one.

These Gao Yu soldiers were all elite soldiers, and those who rushed to the front reached the city gate in almost a moment.

The west city gate had already been opened, so they were naturally the first to rush into the quietly opened mouth.

At this time, Luo Junyao and Jiang Yan were standing upstairs beside the street in Xichengmen, watching Gao Yu's soldiers rushing in like tigers and wolves in the night.

Standing downstairs, Wang Shuang looked at the general Gao Yu who rushed in first with a calm expression, and asked, "Where is General Zamuhe?"

The general Gao Yu obviously didn't understand the Central Plains dialect, so he said a few words in Gao Yu's words.

Wang Shuang frowned, and said in Gao Yu's words: "Jiang Yan is still in the general's mansion at this time, and several generals led by Vice General Lu are leading troops to besiege the general's mansion. But the Zhen Guojun is at the south gate and north gate tonight. .The general had better not confront them head-on, and instead attack the east gate."

The general frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "This is different from what we said before." The entire Jianling City is separated from the east city and the west city, that is to say, they have to pass through the city.

Wang Shuang said angrily: "People from the Zhen Guojun suddenly asked to change defenses. I'm just a partial general. What can I do? Now the general's mansion is in trouble, so I don't have time to take care of this side. If you pass through the city, as long as you go fast , won’t alarm the Zhen Guojun.”

"Shall we attack the north gate directly?" The general listened carefully, and the direction of the city was indeed very noisy, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The suspicion in my heart has gone a bit, but I am still a little dissatisfied with such an arrangement.

Wang Shuang sneered and said, "There are five thousand national troops at the north gate, if the general thinks he can do it, please do it."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shuang took a step back and stood aside, acting casually.

Seeing him like this, the general gestured towards the people around him, motioning him to ask Jamuka for instructions.

"It's almost there." Jiang Yan said.

Luo Junyao felt a little regretful, "Zamuhe hasn't come in yet."

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Enough is enough. If you can't wipe out the soldiers and horses who have entered the city in one go, and let them make trouble in the city, it will not be conducive to defending the city."

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "That's the only way to go."

Luo Junyao gestured towards the shadow on the other side of the street, and the shadow nodded, and a moment later a bright firework rose into the sky.

"What's going on?! I haven't ordered yet..."

General Gao Yu, who led the way into the city, was shocked and angry, but the next moment a feathered arrow pierced his chest.

On the roofs on both sides of the street, the windows opened suddenly, and countless arrows shining with cold light were aimed at the soldiers Gao Yu on the street.

Because to attack the city, all Gao Yu soldiers entered the city on foot and did not ride horses. Tens of thousands of people crowded together on one street.Arrows rained down on both sides of the street, and they didn't even have a place to react or hide.

Not just Feather Arrows, countless drinks, kerosene, and oil poured down the street, and the street almost turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

The houses on the northern border are different from those in the south. Most of them are made of earth and stone, and they are not very afraid of fire.

"It's been tricked! Get out!" Someone yelled at the back.

But the people behind were desperate to find that a fire had also ignited inside the city gate, separating them from the city gate.

And the city gate that was originally open is slowly closing.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of war drums on the city tower pierced the night sky, and the torches on the originally dark city were lit one by one, lighting up the entire Jianling city in an instant.

Jamuka outside the city looked at the countless Dasheng soldiers who suddenly appeared on the tall tower in front of him, and then looked at the flames and thick smoke that could be seen even outside the city, his face turned ashen for a moment.

"Quick! Send the letter to the eldest prince, we have fallen for it!" Jamuhe gritted his teeth authentically, then turned his head and pointed forward and said sharply: "Siege the city! I must smash the gate of Jianling!"

The Gao Yu soldiers who did not enter the city were obviously also stimulated by this sudden change. They knew very well that those who entered the city would be in danger.They all looked at the city standing in the night with hatred, and rushed towards the city wall one by one clamoring.

Although they were invading, at this moment they still acted angrily as if they were the victims.

Today's city offensive and defensive battle started just before dawn.

He Ruomuti on the other side looked at the still closed city gate ahead and the Dasheng garrison standing on the tower, and frowned, "What's the matter? Why hasn't the city gate been opened yet?" What's happening?Changes in plans?

He Ruomuti felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Prince, Simon has already started fighting. We..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of fast horses galloping towards him in the distance.

"Report to the eldest prince, General Zamuhe ordered the younger one to report to the prince, there is a fraud! The front army of Ximen has all fallen into the city, please the eldest prince to support immediately!"

"What?!" He Ruomuti was shocked, but he didn't think much about it at the moment, and said sharply: "The order is passed on, leaving [-] Wu Yi's troops to contain the north gate, and the rest of the troops will follow me to support the west gate. !"

"Yes, Prince!"

The military order was issued, and the soldiers and horses who had been waiting outside the north gate began to move towards the west gate.

He Ruomuti raised his head and glanced at the brightly lit and fluttering city tower in front of him, his eyes were cold.

He actually fell into the trap of the Dasheng people!

I hope there won't be too much loss this time, otherwise I'm afraid there will be many people who want to trouble him.

Just like his good brother who was transferred to Pingshanbao by him.

He Ruomuti got on his horse, and instead of looking at the tower in front of him, he lifted the rein and turned the horse's head and ran towards the west city.
