Chapter 1960 Burning Palace

Standing at the top of the city, Dingwu looked at the raging fire burning in the Heavenly Palace. He seemed to be calm, but the gloomy look in the depths of his eyes had already revealed his helpless mood.

The soldiers standing at the top of the city looked at the raging fire in the Heavenly Palace, but their eyes were also cracked.

Although it is far away from Tiangong, the Tiangong is located on a high place, and coupled with the dark winter night, the raging fire that soars into the sky is even more dazzling.

"My lord...!" Seeing the sad look in Ding Wu's eyes, Xuanyuan Shao knew that Ding Wu must be in extreme pain, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

As the king of the empire, watching the barbarians wreak havoc under his nose, but he was helpless, the pain in Dingwu's heart can be imagined.

The guards in the city have been guarding the city to this day, but they have endured to the extreme. As long as Dingwu gives an order, even if there are ten times as many barbarian soldiers, these guards will rush to fight them to the end without hesitation.

But Dingwu could only endure.

In fact, many people know in their hearts that although the Tiangong was built magnificently, when Dingwu moved to Wuping Prefecture, all the gold and silver treasures in Tiangong were transferred to Wuping Prefecture. It is better to use it as an expense than to decorate it.

But within the Heavenly Palace, there is an extremely important thing, which is countless more than gold and silver to the Great Qin Empire, and that is the remains of the late emperor.

After Xun Yuan died, his body remained in Tiangong, and when Dingwu was transferred to Wuping Mansion, Xun Yuan's body remained in Tiangong, and Xuanzhen Daozong led a group of Taoist priests to guard him.

Changshengdao is good at the technique of pills, although it can't really make Xun Yuan immortal, but it is not difficult to preserve Xun Yuan's corpse intact.

Although Dingwu has announced the death of the late emperor to the world, he did not hold a national funeral for Dingwu. After all, it is an extraordinary time, and Hexi is a temporary shelter. After choosing the feng shui treasure place for burial, Ding Wu succeeded to the throne, and everything was like hair, but he really didn't have the energy to hold a funeral for Yun Yuan, so he could only temporarily park the body in Tiangong.

The barbarians are chaotic as they say, and Dingwu has no chance of transporting the body to Wuping Prefecture. Now that the barbarians have broken through the Tiangong, they naturally have to search everywhere in the Tiangong. Yuan's corpse should be kept well, otherwise, once Xun Yuan's corpse falls into the hands of the barbarians, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He was worried, but Xuanyuan Shao had already said in a soft voice: "My lord, the barbarians can't stop attacking Wuping Prefecture, and they are targeting the Heavenly Palace. If the Heavenly Palace is destroyed, Yao Chong is afraid...!"

With his hands behind his back, Dingwu just looked at the flames in the distance and asked, "Xuanyuan, why do you think the barbarians turned to attack Tiangong?"

Xuanyuan Shao thought for a while, then said: "My lord, could it be that the barbarians are not just here to vent their anger?"

"I hope they are just venting their anger." Ding Wu sneered and said, "But they stormed Tiangong for several days, they would not give up until they achieved their goal, and the casualties would be heavy. They knew that I was in Wuping Prefecture, but why did they storm Tiangong at any cost?" He became serious, "I'm afraid that Tushi Khan will start to understand how to attack the city."

Xuanyuan Shao is naturally also a shrewd person, when he realized it, he frowned, "My lord, could it be that the barbarians attacked Tiangong because of those in Tiangong...!" But he didn't continue.

"Many of the strong men who retreated to the Heavenly Palace are skilled craftsmen. With the ability of those craftsmen, it is not difficult to forge siege weapons." Ding Wu said slowly: "I'm afraid it won't take long, and the barbarians will use it With a large number of siege weapons in hand, at that time, the Wuping Prefecture City may not be able to defend."

Xuanyuan Shao clenched his fists tightly, but did not speak.

After a while, Ding Wu asked softly: "Xuanyuan, if Tushi Khan died suddenly, do you think the barbarians will retreat?"

Xuanyuan Shao was startled, and immediately understood Ding Wu's meaning, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you mean to send Shen Yiwei to assassinate Tu Shi Khan?"

"Although the barbarians are uneducated, they are not fools. I have observed that Tushi Khan is very careful about his own safety. There are never less than twenty guards by his side." Dingwu said softly: "Let God Yiwei secretly sneaked into their camp, Shenyiwei may be able to do it, but it is almost impossible to sweat in the camp."

Xuanyuan Shao frowned slightly, but he understood in his heart that Dingwu had obviously reached a desperate situation, otherwise he would never have thought of a way to assassinate the chieftain.

When the two armies confront each other, it is true that they can use all means to win the war, but the method of assassinating the head of the enemy is really a bad strategy.

This is of course because during the battle, the two sides will inevitably protect their leaders closely, and the possibility of assassination is very small, but also because this kind of trick is a sneaky behavior after all, which is despised by others.

Although the state of Qin is now in the fall and there is only a corner of the country, but after all, the brand of the Great Qin Empire is still hanging. The majestic Central Plains Empire fought against the reckless barbarians, and was forced to secretly assassinate the leader of the opponent. Going out will have a great impact on the reputation of Qin State and Dingwu after all.

But Xuanyuanshao also understands that for the sake of today, it is important to keep the safety of Wuping Mansion, as far as reputation is concerned, Dingwu naturally can't care about it now.

"If I go there in person, what do you think the chances are?" Ding Wu pondered for a moment, and finally asked.

Xuanyuan Shao changed color slightly.

Throughout the ages, it has been common for emperors to command wars on the front line. Whether it is an imperial conquest or an emperor who is forced into a desperate situation, history is not an exception.

But with the majesty of the emperor, it is extremely rare to personally go out to assassinate the enemy chieftain. Looking at the past and present, that is extremely rare.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not...!" Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "How can the body of the Holy One be put in danger easily? These days, the Holy Majesty also knows that although the barbarians are wild and difficult to tame, they are not decent in marching and fighting , but the enemy chieftains are very serious about their own safety. Their camps are all in the hinterland of the military camp, surrounded by heavy protection. It is almost impossible to get close to the enemy chieftain's tent... But if there is a slight negligence, That is to be surrounded by tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers, even... even the Da Luo Jinxian cannot evacuate!"

Ding Wu smiled lightly and said: "My martial arts, can't I come and go freely?"

Of course Xuanyuanshao knew that Dingwu's martial arts were elusive, and it might not be impossible to enter the enemy's camp, but he knew better that even if Xuanyuanshao's martial arts were unpredictable, as long as there was a slight negligence, once he really fell into the enemy's camp Even if he was discovered, it was impossible for him to return safely from the thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. With His Majesty's martial arts, it is not difficult to enter the enemy's camp. Even if it is to assassinate Tushi Khan, it can be easily carried out." Tushi Khan even killed all the barbarian generals around him, but it was of no avail. The barbarians suddenly rebelled before, and Tushi Khan had not yet arrived, but they still attacked the city with all their strength. This shows that even if Tushi Khan really died Now, there will be a new barbarian to replace him. The barbarians are tribal alliances, and they are not convinced by each other. The Holy One also said a few days ago that Tushi Khan was able to command the barbarian army only because the barbarians needed such a commander. They really need Tushi Khan. It doesn't matter to them who the commander-in-chief is, if one dies, another will appear."

Ding Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "You're right, Tu Shihan...is naturally different from me."

The raging fire of the Tiangong continued to burn until dawn, and it did not weaken in the slightest. The magnificent Tiangong, which cost a lot of money and manpower, was just a useless thing that could neither be eaten nor drunk nor taken away in the eyes of the barbarians.

Countless barbarians rushed into Daotian Palace. In order to attack Wuping Fucheng and Tiangong, thousands of people were killed and injured. Almost every tribe died on the battlefield. Ruthlessly slaughtered the people in the Tiangong.

In the Tiangong, apart from the tens of thousands of strong men who followed Yao Chong, there are also many court ladies and eunuchs staying here. Although the three halls occupy a large area, tens of thousands of people are in it, but it is extremely crowded, and there are shouts of killing everywhere. and screams.

Yao Chong led the people in Tiangong to fight hard for several days. The strong men in Tiangong didn't have much combat experience. Under the siege for several days, they suffered heavy casualties, and most of them didn't have any weapons in their hands. The barbarians rushed in, there was no danger to defend, and the people in the Heavenly Palace had no resistance at all, just like a pack of wolves rushing into a herd of sheep, with knives flying, spears ruthless, screaming and screaming, one after another People fell in a pool of blood.

The barbarians are obviously very good at massacres, [-] soldiers sealed the surroundings of the Tiangong, that is, they didn't let out even a fly, the barbarians who rushed into the Tiangong were actually only half of them, some were mad Slashing and killing, some are searching around, wanting to find some valuable things, some barbarian soldiers have seen the young and beautiful palace maids, put them on their shoulders, and laughed wantonly.

The entire Heavenly Palace is like a purgatory on earth.

To the disappointment of the barbarian soldiers, there was no gold, silver and treasure as they had imagined in the Tiangong, and they could not even find food. The money is worthless, and the disappointed barbarian mutiny was extremely angry. They not only slashed and killed wantonly to vent their anger, but also set fires everywhere. They were determined to burn this heavenly palace that disappointed them so much.

From the moment they entered the city, they began to massacre and set fires everywhere. At daybreak, corpses piled up in the Tiangong, and many people were forced into the houses, where they were burned to death abruptly.

This tragic massacre did not completely subside until Tushi Khan sent people to stop it.

Although before the barbarian soldiers attacked the Tiangong, Tushi Khan repeatedly ordered that after the capture of the Tiangong, although all the rebels were to be killed, as long as someone surrendered, they could not be massacred but captured, but the barbarian soldiers were furious. Thousands of people still died under the butcher's knife. If Tushi Khan didn't want to get the craftsmen in Tiangong to make siege weapons, the tens of thousands of people in Tiangong would be hard to escape from the enemy.

Nine Serenity Purgatory, there is no other place than this!
