Chapter 1056 1057 [If Heaven is sentimental, Heaven will also grow old] (5)

Dawn is approaching.

Kyoto is engaged in fierce fighting on three sides, and Gu Liang is personally in charge of the east city. The situation is currently relatively stable. Nancheng faces tens of thousands of elites commanded by Luo Huanzhang himself, and the pressure increases sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye. The commander makes Mao Xiangshen take the lead in fighting desperately, and the city defense is still moving towards

A shaky development direction.

The competition for the West City Gate is the most intense.

After the dead soldiers of the Hubao Battalion captured the city gate, Xiao Jin dispatched reserve troops to block the opponent in place in time. Changxing Hou Qujiang ordered the Longshan Guards' heavy-armored infantry to occupy a corner of the city and keep advancing inward while sending more troops.

The attack on the city forced the garrison division Xicheng Guards to be unable to retreat for reinforcements.

It can be said that the two sides must fight for every inch of territory, and Longshan Guards must pay a bloody price for every step forward.

Such an intense tug-of-war is extremely rare. Wang Pingzhang and the sixth prince Liu Zhi rushed to the west to supervise the battle. The situation gradually became favorable to the rebels, and it might not take long for them to capture the West City.

In the middle of the capital, the Prince of Qi's Mansion.

The main hall is brightly lit.

The second prince Liu Yun stayed up all night, his eyes were red from sleep.

It stands to reason that Emperor Kaiping was unconscious after being assassinated. As a prince, he should fulfill his filial piety in front of the emperor. However, almost all ministers suggested that he leave the palace and return home, including those who supported him to become the crown prince. The reason may be

At the critical moment of the transfer of the throne, an adult prince staying in the palace is likely to cause many variables.

Chang Shi didn't know how to persuade her. Looking back on the past ten years or so, if Empress Chen cared about Liu Yun as much as she cared about Liu Zhi, the confused King Qi in front of him might not have fallen out of favor with his majesty.

"It is an unbreakable truth to capture the thief first, but I always have a hidden worry. Do you think Pei Yue will underestimate my grandfather?" Wang Jiuxuan asked in a deep voice.

Tan Sheng opened his mouth slightly and gradually became nervous: "What does the young master mean?"

A bloodthirsty light appeared in Liu Yun's eyes, and he said sternly: "Father is in danger, I must go!"

He didn't think that Pei Yue could change his destiny against the odds, because a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. The Zangfeng Guards who dominate the battlefield are still in the north. How could Pei Yue defeat the two elite cavalry guards with only the infantry of the Wuding Guards?

As long as Pei Yue appears in front of him, he will be absolutely sure that the opponent will be defeated.

Tan Sheng was stunned and said subconsciously: "Didn't the eldest young master say that Pei Yue did this to paralyze the Duke and you, and then lead an attack on our rear and threaten the Chinese army like he did when he defeated Xie Xiao of the Southern Zhou Dynasty last year?

The safety of the handsome tent."

Twenty miles north of Kyoto is Tingyungang.

Chang Shi thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably due to internal problems in Luan Yiwei. Otherwise, how could Concubine De know about it if she was living in seclusion in the palace?"

At this moment, Tan Sheng also noticed something was wrong, and kept urging the people below to ask the ranger scouts if they had discovered the Beiying army.

Liu Yun smiled miserably and said with difficulty: "Actually, I know that my mother prefers the sixth child, and she has been like this since childhood. Otherwise, where would he have the confidence and capital to make friends with courtiers? Although I feel very sad, I have never resented my mother, because it is her after all.

She gave birth to me. But I didn’t expect that she would tell Liu Zhi about it, and she didn’t even care that those people would blame me, haha.”

Speaking of this, Liu Yun's expression suddenly changed, and a strong fear appeared in his eyes.

More than ten thousand elite cavalry are hiding behind the gentle slope. They can rush to the official road to the east at any time to intercept the possible North Camp troops. This cavalry is the Xiying Xiaocai Guard, which has always come out on top in all the Yanping hunting meetings.

, of course, that was the glorious record before the Zangfengwei appeared.

Chang Shi was slightly startled. He originally thought that he was in such pain because he could not serve His Majesty the Emperor, but he did not expect that he was still obsessed with Concubine De's suicide. He knew what the secret Liu Yun said was Concubine De's accusation at the altar of sacrifice to heaven.

Liu Xian originally sent his henchmen to assassinate Pei Yue, but was later covered up by Emperor Kaiping.

Liu Yun suddenly stood up, strode out, and said, "Prepare your horse!"

Chang Shi was stunned and instantly realized who Liu Yun was referring to in his words.

Chang Shi did not dare to persuade him any more and could only nod his head in agreement.

"The Queen..." He hesitated, looking complicated.

Liu Yun muttered to himself: "Well, since my mother is determined to do this, what can I do as a prince? I can't go to my father to accuse her of her faults. But what I don't understand is, does my mother not know my father's skills?

Hecheng Mansion? Don’t look at the huge momentum Wang Pingzhang is making outside the city now, I’m sure he won’t survive for a few days. As for Liu Zhi, after hiding for so many years, he finally doesn’t want to hide anymore, but he also wants to hurt his father.

——”

Chang Shi immediately caught up with him and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the palace city is under martial law and the palace gate will not be opened at this time."

Prince Shi looked at Liu Yun's expression of grief and anger, and sighed in his heart. He stepped forward and said as gently as possible: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty. He has the protection of God. The plans of those villains will definitely fail. I know this."

Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, are thinking about your Majesty and Your Majesty, but the situation is too tense right now. Only by returning home can you make the people in the palace feel at ease. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."

Wang Jiuxuan frowned more and more, and said slowly: "Isn't he worried that his grandfather will see through his plan and arrange an ambush in advance to kill him by surprise, just like what we are doing now."

Wang Jiuxuan suddenly said: "General Tan, why do you think Pei Yue asked Luo Kedi to write that autograph letter?"

Tan Sheng shook his head and said: "No, Pei Yue seems domineering but is actually cautious. Even if he looks down on the people of the world, he does not dare to look down on the Duke of the country."

"Of course I understand this." Liu Yun shook his head and said coldly: "Whether it is Luan Yiwei or Taishitai Pavilion who is causing trouble in the dark, or whether Silent Cloud helps Wang Pingzhang plan, the key to the problem is not on them."

His tone was low and hoarse, like a sword being drawn across a blunt object.

Wang Jiuxuan took a deep breath: "I now suspect that this is a game within a game. Pei Yue is trying to use that letter to carry out an offensive move and move all our cavalry here."

The Cavalry Guard is still led by Commander Tan Sheng, but at the moment his attention is focused on Wang Jiuxuan next to him.

…

He raised his head and looked at Chang Shi. The dim light in his eyes frightened the middle-aged man, and he immediately said: "Father, Concubine Wu and the boss cannot tell others about this matter, and I have never said it, so who is it?"

Revealing this secret? Why would she do this?"

Even though Wang Jiuxuan did not hold any official position, Xiying generals like Tan Sheng still respected him very much. You can get a clue of this from the names they addressed Wang Jiuxuan.

At the same time, another cavalry unit, Longxiang Guard, is ambushing in the southeast. After launching an attack here, they will make a surprise attack to complete the cut and encirclement.

Liu Yun told him the truth yesterday. Last year in the Jingtai Palace, the only people who knew about the incident were Emperor Kaiping, Empress Chen, Concubine Wu and the two princes.

A moment later, the crisp sound of hoofbeats awakened the misty sky. Liu Yun threw away the palace guards behind him and galloped towards the palace like crazy.

"Young master, there is no need to worry. Pei Yue does have some military talents, but you have the Cavalry Guard and Longxiang Guard in your hands, and you are calculated mentally but not carelessly. You will definitely be able to defeat him today." Tan Sheng said calmly.

Liu Yun seemed unaware and stared straight ahead. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Tell me, why did Concubine De know that secret?"

Upon seeing this, Chang Shi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Time passed quietly, and no soldiers from the North Camp appeared in the north.

Wang Jiuxuan nodded slightly, still looking at the north in silence.

All the princes in the court are well-educated men, and they are familiar with historical allusions, so they will naturally not make such mistakes.

Tan Sheng was not an incompetent person. Hearing this, he muttered: "But this doesn't make sense. Now we are attacking the city. The cavalry only has the role of covering and assisting, and has no decisive impact on the overall situation. Even if we fell into his plan.

, Pei Yue can still fly over with two infantry guards to support Kyoto?"

"Report!"

When the two of them were hesitating, a horse came galloping towards them.

The knight had not yet dismounted and shouted loudly: "General, we have discovered the army of the North Camp on the official road!"
