At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
"Cao Aiqing."
Li Xiu put down the book in her hand, and her eyes fell on the person who came, "It's so late, what do you want me to do?"
Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I just discovered that an assassin who sneaked into the palace has been captured by this old slave."
"Oh?"
Li Xiu raised her eyebrows, "It seems that she is not an ordinary character who can avoid the search of the forbidden army and sneak into the palace without a sound."
"Have you found out where he came from?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it has been found out."
Cao Zhengchun presented a dossier.
Li Xiu has adapted to Cao Zhengchun's efficiency. He took the file, and after looking at it, a coldness appeared in his eyes, "I never thought that Sima Chong would collude with the forces of Jianghu."
"Chunqiu Sect, I have read the name of this Jianghu sect in books. This Chunqiu Sect should have perished a hundred years ago. How did it survive until now?"
A hundred years ago, during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, most of the sects in the world were banned by the court!
Undoubtedly, heresies like the Chunqiu Gate must be banned. Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, they would revive and hook up with the local Jiedushi.
This situation is probably by no means an exception.
"Sima Chong wants to change positions and take control of the capital, so we will use our tricks and let them throw themselves into the trap."
The corner of Li Xiu's mouth curled up.
Seeing the smile on Li Xiu's face, Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up, and he understood His Majesty's intentions.
Your Majesty, this is to invite you into the urn!
"The old slave will go down and make arrangements."
Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands towards Li Xiu, then turned around and exited the hall.
After Cao Zhengchun retreated, Li Xiu picked up a map of the Tang Dynasty and spread it out on the table.
This map is a royal map drawn by the court painter according to his request.
On the map, except for Gyeonggi, which is red, other places are all black!
These patches of black areas are all the feudal towns in the Great Tang Dynasty!
Occupied seven or eight out of ten of the entire land of the Tang Dynasty!
The decline of the Tang Dynasty, one is in the court, and the other is in the feudal town!
The feudal town was originally set up to resist alien races!
But now, the Jiedu envoys of the feudal towns all hold heavy troops and dominate one side. They never put the imperial court in their eyes.
The imperial decree basically cannot leave the capital!
It is imperative to abolish the feudal towns and regain military power!
"Let's take the Huainan Jiedu envoy first."
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Li Xiu's eyes, and then he swiped a big pen and made a big cross on the land of Huainan.
……
Huainan Road, Yangzhou City.
In a magnificent mansion.
"it is good!"
After reading the letter that Xu Jingzong sent back, Sima Chong clapped his hands and applauded on the spot, his face full of excitement.
"Mr. Xu's plan is very smooth, he has successfully replaced the post, got rid of the little emperor, and sat on the throne!"
"The entire capital is under Mr. Xu's control! Just wait for our army to go, and he will welcome me into the city!"
"Jiedushi, is there any fraud in this?"
A ministry general questioned.
"This letter was sent through Chunqiumen's channel, and it is indeed Mr. Xu's personal letter. There can be no fraud!"
Sima Chong waved his hands with a smile, already carried away with complacency.
Based on his understanding of Xu Jingzong, even if he fails, with the opponent's strength, he will definitely be able to retreat unscathed. Now that he has sent his disciples to report the success, it cannot be false!
"Pass my order and send troops immediately. The three armies march as fast as possible. Be sure to arrive in the capital within five days!"
Sima Chong said proudly.
"Yes!"
All the Huainan generals bowed down and cupped their fists, and responded in unison.
Sima Chong nodded in satisfaction. Under his arrangement, they were already preparing to march when Xu Jingzong set off.
Up to now, the army is basically ready, and it only needs an order, and it can be seamlessly connected immediately, sending troops northward, and directly taking the capital!
This Great Tang Dynasty will soon be his, Sima Chong's final decision!
Chapter 9 Daxue Dragon Knight, Fengtian Begs for Thieves
The 20 Huainan army marched as fast as they could, and arrived at the capital city in less than five days!
No resistance is like entering no man's land!
Looking at the majestic city like an empty city in front of him, Sima Chong's face was already full of smiles.
"Mr. Xu is indeed a peerless expert. He is thoughtful in handling things. It seems that he has cleared the obstacles for this general, and he is waiting for this general to lead the army to receive the fruits of victory!"
On the huge city wall of the capital, there are very few soldiers defending the city. This must have been arranged by Xu Jingzong in advance, in order to allow him to enter the city smoothly!
"Congratulations to Jiedushi, you will be emperor soon!"
Behind Sima Chong, a dog-headed military adviser said flatteringly.
"Haha, when I become the emperor, all of you here will be great heroes who have made great contributions to the dragon!"
Sima Chong said in high spirits.
hum!
At this moment, with a loud bang, the city gate of the capital was opened, and the suspension bridge over the moat was lowered directly, as if welcoming Sima Chong's army into the city!
"Mr. Xu, I really prepared a generous gift for this general!"
Sima Chong expressed emotion, "After the matter is completed, this general will make Mr. Xu a national teacher and share the country with him!"
Immediately, he waved his horsewhip, "Enter the city!"
As soon as the words fell, Sima Chong gave orders abruptly, taking the lead, and charged into the city with a group of generals!
however!
Just as Sima Chong and dozens of generals rushed into the city gate, suddenly, above the city wall, ambushes suddenly rose, and densely packed archers appeared, directly attacking the Huainan army below the city head-on!
Arrows fell like rain, and the Huainan army was caught off guard, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant!
The 20 Huainan army was cut off immediately, and the gate of this city was also closed at this time!
Sima Chong and dozens of generals were directly locked in the city!
"No, it's a hit!"
Sima Chong's complexion changed drastically. At this moment, even a fool would know that there was an ambush among them!
"Don't panic, fight a bloody way with me!"
Sima Chong gritted his teeth, looked in the direction of the city, and wanted to struggle to his death.
But at this moment-
da da da da...
The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes came, and Sima Chong and others felt the ground shaking under their feet, as if every stone brick on the city was humming and trembling.
The war horse under him kept neighing, showing extreme panic and anxiety!
Sima Chong raised his head abruptly.
In the line of sight, an army of iron cavalry like a silver dragon, like a tide, with a monstrous vigor, came to kill them from the front!
Every iron cavalry is like a Shura!
It exudes the breath of terror, iron blood, and killing!
Sima Chong spent half his life as a soldier, but he had never seen such a terrifying cavalry!
"Daxue Dragon Knight, Fengtian seeks thieves!"
The voice full of murderous intent soared into the sky, shaking the sky!
Big snow dragon ride?
Sima Chong's face was ashamed!
When did such a terrifying iron cavalry appear in the Tang Dynasty?
But Sima Chong was also a Jiedu envoy after all, how could a hero who had experienced many battles be willing to be captured like this?
"Kill! We would rather die than surrender..."
Sima Chong drew out his sword from his waist, and wanted to lead the dozens of generals behind him to charge and kill.
Unexpectedly, the general behind him shot suddenly and knocked Sima Chong off his horse with a single shot.
Sima Chong hurriedly got up, looked at the group of generals behind him whose expressions gradually became unfamiliar, and said in disbelief: "You..."
"Jiedushi, I'm sorry..."
"Sacrifice one of you, save thousands of families."
"Brothers can only wrong you in order to survive..."
After speaking, the general made another move and slapped Sima Chong on the back of the head.
"You two...five...children..."
Sima Chong's eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness immediately.
……
The imperial palace, on the Golden Luan Hall.
Li Xiu and the civil and military officials are still holding a normal court meeting.
Suddenly, the admiral of the nine gates who was in charge of the defense of the capital ran into the hall in a panic.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
The nine admirals rolled and crawled, looking extremely panicked.
"Admiral Zhao, what's the fuss about, what's the proper way?"
The Minister of Rites scolded.
"The big thing is not good. I just got the news that Sima Chong, the governor of Huainan, led 20 Huainan troops, and appeared near the capital!"
The admiral of the nine doors said with a pale face.
"What did you say?!"
The Minister of Rites was taken aback and fell limp on the ground.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all eclipsed!
"It's over, it must be because His Majesty killed Sima Taishi and angered Sima Chong!"
"It's more than that, His Majesty even asked Sima Chong to go to Beijing to confess the crime. It's good, this Sima Chong brought his own army directly!"
"At the beginning, I thought that His Majesty's actions would force Sima Chong to go to extremes, but I didn't expect that the words of my minister would be true!"
However, Li Xiu, seated on the throne of the dragon chair, looked calm, "I just used an imperial decree to uncover a traitor who had been plotting for a long time, a traitor general."
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Sima Chong brought troops into Beijing privately, what crime should he be punished for?"
