Qingchuan History

Chapter 691
On November 23rd of the eighth year of Jinghong, [-] soldiers and horses from the southern border of Daqi went to Baiguo.

About [-]% of the Bai Kingdom’s northern garrison rushed to the capital last night to fight the rebellion due to the siege of Yunshui, and the remaining [-]% received the emperor’s order from Jidu. And the other side wants to refuse but also to welcome - the scene was once in a strange situation, the generals of both sides stared at each other with a feeling of pity and killing each other.

Qi Jun's [-] troops ended up with only [-], and they took the official road to Yunshui in four routes. When they approached the boundary markers of the capital, there were many casualties.The sound of clashing weapons fluctuated far and near, and the three main battlefields in the battle report were already very close to Yunshui after a day of bloodbath, and they were all around, and they were gradually meeting in one place.

Xiao Ben led three teams of troops to join the attack in three directions in the battle report, and led [-] troops to the city, showing the imperial edicts of the two countries, expressing his intention to help.

The guard on the city wall was very heroic, but he didn't reply, and after a while, he saw a young woman appearing beside him, and thanked him, but the city gate was still closed tightly.

Xiao Ben knew that the other party was on guard, and aid itself did not have to enter the city - defending outside the city, killing the rebels was also aid.

This woman is quite ingenious, I don't know which princess it is.He glanced at it, and the respectful voice should be, and he stared at the invisible hustle and bustle around the city, ordering the soldiers who were on their way to rest for a while.

The night is thicker, the southern country is not cold, and the sound of soldiers and horses is near.

Coming with strong hooves, very fast, it was Qi Jun scouting the horse, who jumped in front of Xiao Ben, and handed over a thin tube.

The letter was wrapped deeply in the tube, Xiao Ben's expression changed dramatically after sweeping his eyes.

As he approached the bonfire to burn, he grabbed it at the nick of time, kneaded it into a ball, turned around and stuffed it deep into his jacket.

The sound of soldiers and horses is approaching.The singing of mountain birds is particularly shrill in the countryside.

With torches shining in the sky, when the white cavalry who came through the forest road appeared, Xiao Ben could hardly distinguish friend from foe, so he ordered him to prepare for battle.But there was a yell on the wall behind him: "Kill the rebels!"

The sharp arrows rained down on the night, and the rapid long-range shots of the giant crossbow still inevitably hurt the Qi soldiers on the outskirts of the city.

"Back!" The rain of arrows is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, Xiao Ben hurriedly ordered to move towards the city gate to face the fallen horsemen and the cavalry and infantry who were rushing from all directions.

The long night was dark, and the sound outside Yunshui City was like thunder.The assembled soldiers are actually three forces, one after the other, the mixed blood flowed into the soil. The white soldiers on both sides who fought fiercely for a day and a night were a little bit jealous, and the rebels seemed to be determined to decide the winner before midnight, which was especially crazy. With a knife in hand and a spear in his hand, he swept vigorously, but he heard the shouts and shouted into pieces.

"One hundred thousand troops from the Qi State have arrived in Yunshui to help the female monarch put down the rebellion!" The woman's voice was heard again on the tower, "You will be arrested without a fight, and this Marquis will intercede with the female monarch for you!"

Duan Xirun had four sisters, two of whom were named marquises.Xiao Ben didn't know much about these specific situations. Seeing the chaotic army in the city, the situation might be reversed in an instant, he struggled with the secret letter over and over in his mind, and those few statements about the advantages and disadvantages of his family and country, raised his head and flew into flames through the rain of arrows. Trying to look at the stars and the moon in the sky.

"Divide the troops to two ends and get out of the city gate! Don't be too obvious. As long as they are soldiers from the Bai Kingdom, they can be killed no matter where they are!"

In the extreme noise, he didn't have to deliberately press down his voice, the two lieutenants beside him could hear clearly, and the nearby Qi Bing could also hear clearly.The order was quietly dispersed among the crowd, but the rebellious army who saw Yinjia's Qi soldiers coming for Kedulu finally made a move and gradually killed them to the side.

"Break open the city gate!"

I don't know who among the rebels saw the completely exposed Yunshui City Gate first, shouted suddenly, and hundreds of soldiers pushed out the huge pillars, and went straight to the city gate amidst the fighting and dragging around, and began to ram.

There was a loud noise, accompanied by people yelling, and the explosion lingered in the high altitude filled with war, which helped the rebels' momentum soar.Crossbow arrows were flying, huge boulders were falling, and the attackers between the ladders were shot and fell by the defenders on the tower, and finally someone was lucky enough to climb the tower, drawing a line of defense.

The city gate was also knocked out of the sky.

"Yes—come again—"

The rebel soldiers in the front shouted loudly, the giant pillar hit the city gate again and again and swayed, the gap became wider, allowing two people to walk side by side.

"The door is open! Rush in!"

Thousands of miles away, even the fastest flying pigeon or post-horse messenger cannot guarantee instant decision-making.The military newspaper is still going from Qinan and Yunshui to Jidu, but a new general has been added to the team of Feige or Yima - Gu Xinglang asked Ruan Xueyin for a pink bird.

Jing Tingge's one is also in Jidu, and he threw a letter to Yunshui Palace last night.Today, the two birds returned by coincidence, disappeared among the clouds and fell into the Wanlan Hall and the Princess Mansion respectively.

Ruan Xueyin accepted the letter and handed it to Gu Xinglang.

Jing Tingge received the letter and handed it to Duan Xirun.

The gate of Yunshui city was broken, but the few rebels left desperately rushed in and ran all the way to the palace.Qi Jun teamed up with the imperial guards in the city to kill thousands of rebels, but a small group of troops still broke into the palace gate and fought fiercely with the imperial guards under the Yinhuang platform.

Duan Xirun's face turned pale, but he was still calm, and immediately asked Jing Tingge "how is it now?" Forget it, the news carried by the bird occurred three or four hours ago."

She yawned continuously, and burst into tears, "At this moment, the outcome has been decided, but we don't know yet."

Duan Xirun finally started to breathe unevenly, and said after a long while: "I shouldn't come, right. Why didn't you persuade me at the beginning?"

Jing Tingge thought for a while, "It's time to come. If you don't come, the palace will not be empty. The clan will not move for a while, but it may be next month, or next year. Look at this huge momentum-you escape If you don’t drop it, it’s not like leading a snake out of its hole, killing the rebellious and establishing the king’s prestige.”

Duan Xirun smiled bleakly: "To establish a king's prestige, I must first return to Yunshui alive."

Jing Tingge looked at her for a moment: "I thought you had a lot of confidence in him. You should have more confidence after sitting in the Mingluan Palace all night. You didn't mention Mrs. Ming, your father, or something you didn't realize but or A secret piece of shit?"

"mentioned."

"Is he interested?"

"Maybe."

"Of course he has. He values ​​trust and prestige, and will not welcome the emperor into the capital of Ji in front of the world, and attack the Bai country while taking advantage of the chaos. Then he is ashamed of you, and you have affection for him. You will live to return the rhyme." water."

Duan Xirun was silent. "What about the throne?"

Jing Tingge looked at the dim light outside the window, thinking that last night's hairy moon was really accurate, it was going to rain or snow. "I'll give you an overview of the possible outcomes, the responses and countermeasures for different outcomes. When the time comes, you will enter the palace."

When the time came, Duan Xirun applied powder on her face and lips to cover her tired eyes and dark cheeks.Her dresses are always in warm colors, comforting people on the somewhat desolate rainy days of early winter.

When the new military report entered the Lantern Palace, Gu Xinglang and Ruan Xueyin were having breakfast—Ruan Xueyin went back to sleep after reading the pink bird's letter, and Gu Xinglang lay on his side with him, calculating the possible results.

Qi's army of [-] is no fool, and when the two sides of the Bai Kingdom are evenly matched to help defend the city, it is impossible for the rebels to enter the city unless there are extraordinary circumstances.According to the description in the Xinbao, it is also basically possible to rule out internal mischief.

Something wrong with Xiao Ben?So fast?

Until I read this latest report for breakfast, the probability of this guess increased from five to seven.It is still difficult for him to determine who has the courage and what method he used to plan Xiao Ben to disobey the emperor's order in the first place-for the time being, he can't see the disobedience of the emperor's order. He did not defect to help the rebels on the spot. Judging from the results in the letter, it is more likely It is to release the water, kill secretly to balance the strength of the two parties, and then use the opportunity of breaking the city to enter the palace.

Here comes the worst problem.

The letter didn't say anything.

Who killed the Queen Mother.

He continued to read the letter without making a sound, clearly only a piece of paper but did not let go for a long time.Ruan Xueyin was sure that his eyes changed drastically at a certain moment, and his expression was calm as usual, so she knew that she didn't want to say anything.

She didn't ask.

"Your Majesty." Di Yan came in, "Mr. Bai has entered the palace and is waiting for the Mingluan Palace."
