Tongshu with Mei

Jing Huaiyu's arm was hurt by Yang Ye's pincers, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She tilted her head and looked at her words, and said, "Master Hou, your hand is injured, do you need to bandage it?"

Yang Ye's face was pale, and he just stared at him in a daze. After a while, he slowly let go of his hand, and his voice was like flying gossamer, and he couldn't get it right: "Dead? It's so easy to die alone?"

Jing Huaiyu staggered in a hurry and got a little far away from him, but he suddenly saw the corners of his lips curled up, and smiled sullenly: "Yang Tao is a liar, this nonsense liar. Ben Hou lied That's all, this guy is the king of a country anyway, how can he deceive people? They both look dirty, if Ling Shu is really dead, can he still sit peacefully in the palace? I'm afraid it won't be too late Just jump! I will go to Dali Temple to search, if I am not in Dali Temple, I must be in the palace, hidden by this dog emperor!"

While muttering, he stood up and wanted to go out of the room, but Jing Huaiyu boldly grabbed his sleeves: "Master Hou, there is already a curfew outside, and the investigation is extremely strict! Master Hou, don't miss it because of this." It's a big deal. It's not appropriate to go to Dali Temple or enter the palace at this time, Lord Hou, please suppress your temper!"

Yang Ye knew the pros and cons of it, but just now he was frightened and angry, and was about to rush out to find someone. At this time, after he said it, he suddenly calmed down, forced a breath, his face became serious, but his hands couldn't stop shaking slightly .He suppressed his mind and wrapped his injured right hand with the handkerchief Jing Huaiyu handed over.Jing Huaiyu peeped at his expression, but slandered in her heart: "It's not your usual temperament to pretend to be so affectionate. Could it be that you plan to come for real this time?" He tentatively asked: "Then when is the Lord Hou going to launch the attack?" Soldiers and horses attacking the city?"

Yang Ye glanced at him, smiled and said, "I don't need to worry about Jing Shilang. Jing Shilang is as gentle and refined as a god, so it's better not to get involved in this fight. Just stay in your mansion with peace of mind. Special personnel will be sent to protect your safety."

He sat down slowly again, his heart was full of uneasiness, and it took a long time to calm down.Thinking about Ling Shu's real death, or Yang Tao's scaremongering, even if he went out to look for it, it would be useless, so before taking Luoyang, he must not act rashly.

On the second day, the troops from Luoyang North and the Central Imperial Guard led by Wei Mengduo faced off again. Although Bei Chenqing was still injured, his prestige remained undiminished. He retreated step by step, held on for three or four days, finally couldn't hold on, and retreated to Luoyang City.

After he entered the palace to report to the emperor, he took his soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense on the city wall, intending to hold out until the reinforcements arrived no matter what.The reinforcements waited and waited but did not come, but news finally came from King Liang's side. It turned out that King Liang suddenly fell ill on the road and delayed his trip, so he couldn't get to the capital for a long time.Hearing this news, Wei Mengduo secretly gritted his teeth and scolded his mother, but there was nothing he could do.

This time, the people in the capital panicked, and when they remembered the ballad that had been sung for several days, private discussions gradually increased. It still spread to Yang Tao's ears, and he was so angry that he dropped another teacup.In addition to being angry, he was worried about causing chaos in the capital, so he had to issue a notice to calm the people.

But in such a stormy situation, everyone is in danger, and it is unreasonable not to be chaotic.Therefore, there was a lot of turmoil among the people. Even if a war would hurt their wives and children, they planned to send their family members out of the city to avoid disaster. Because the rebel army was in the north, there was a lot of noise at the south gate every day. Ordinary people chatted and quarreled endlessly.

When the news reached Yang Tao, Yang Tao ordered to close the gate of the city. No one was allowed to leave the city without his own order. At the same time, he strengthened the defense of the capital. Teams of soldiers patrolled day and night. The idlers waited, and they were thrown into the sky prison directly.

It wasn't until Yang Xi's army encircled them that the people in the city gave up and resigned themselves to their fate.

On this day, Yang Xi's soldiers and horses began to attack the city under the command of Bei Chenqing. From early morning to night, there were constant screams of killing and screams above and below the city. The Hao Bridge was smashed a lot, and the corpses were piled on the ground. Bei Chenqing ignored the serious damage to the soldiers and horses, but continued to attack the city, sitting on a tall watchtower car, commanding the battle while paying attention to the situation in the city.

After three days of tossing like this, countless soldiers from both sides were killed and injured, and the rest were a little tired.Just on the night of the first day of October, the sound of the war drums finally slowed down, and a general's order was knocked out. Finally, all the big drums were beaten three times at the same time under Bei Chenqing's command, shaking the ground and shaking the city. He could hear clearly inside and outside the city, and then he ordered to withdraw the troops and return to the camp.

After these three days of siege, Wei Mengduo's soldiers were exhausted.When the soldiers and horses outside the city were withdrawn, Wei Mengduo also ordered the soldiers to take the opportunity to catch their breath.It was quiet outside the city, and there was no sound of people, only corpses all over the ground, broken battle flags, and flocks of jackdaws flying over the sky from time to time looking for food.

Yang Ye has been curled up in Jing Huaiyu's mansion for the past few days, already impatient, but the interrogation outside is extremely strict, he is afraid that something will be missed, so he dare not let people go out easily.Hearing the news, I thought, "It's time!"

Just as Jing Huaiyu was sitting opposite him drinking tea, Yang Ye tapped on the table and asked inadvertently, "The battle outside the city is very urgent these days, what was the emperor's reaction when you went to court?"

Jing Huaiyu said: "Your Majesty, I have not been in court for the past few days. The reason is that your Majesty occasionally feels the wind and cold, and the dragon body is unwell. You don't know that Hou Ye only gets up every day after three poles. Only this morning, Your Majesty asked some of our officials to go In the study room, tell us a few words through the curtain to assist General Wei in defending the city well. The voice is thick, it’s not the same as before, I think the cold is still not healed.”

Yang Ye was stunned, and doubts arose in his heart: "Cold? Are you pretending? This dog emperor is so delicate, so he won't go to court if he gets hurt?"

Jing Huaiyu was not good at answering, so he had to smile apologetically.But Yang Ye turned to Jing Huaiyu and said solemnly: "Jing Shilang, tonight is the first day of October, there will be no moon. After the time passes, no one dares to go out again, only ghosts are rampant. But we are holding our heads up to rebel But I have no time to believe in ghosts and gods. Bei Chenqing's last three drums were urging me to act, so I plan to act tonight."

Jing Huaiyu said: "Your Majesty needs to be dismissed to do anything, just tell me."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "This is the end of the matter, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Although you agreed to surrender to the King of Zhao, I am small-bellied and suspicious by nature, so I am still worried about you. I am afraid that if your conscience finds out again, I will go with you." The dog emperor tipped off the news. I have endured these many days in your kennel, and I don’t even care about the life and death of my sweetheart. I must not fall short! So tonight, I want two guards Looking at you, no matter what happens, as long as you stay out of your mansion and don't talk nonsense, by tomorrow, you will be an upright and good minister in the hands of His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, and there will be no turning back. Your day is waiting for you not far ahead. What do you think?"

Jing Huaiyu got up and bowed to salute, with a handsome figure, sincere words and gentle eyes: "It's my good fortune for Lord Hou to have someone take care of me. In the future, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, please cultivate more!"

Yang Ye stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's really exquisite, you don't need to be too polite! That's the deal."

Immediately, he called the three guards around him, and said: "Nianwei and Zhongli stay here, Xiaobai and I change night clothes, the first step is the arsenal of the capital!"

There were already no pedestrians on the road, and even the patrolling soldiers became much rarer.Burnt paper ash is everywhere along the way, swirling and flying in the cold wind.

The two of them sneaked out of the arsenal of the capital on paper ashes. Bai Tingbi flicked a black pipe into the sky and made a shrill whistle, and then a black pipe shot up into the sky not far away. The Po Luo Army lurking in Luoyang City reacted.Then one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the dark night was like paint, people in night clothes gathered at the arsenal one after another, it was really like a hundred ghosts walking in the night.

Yang Ye had made an agreement with Yan Feng to put the map and key of the capital's arsenal on the mulberry tree in the backyard of the Great Buddha Temple in the south of the city. On the map, even where there are guards and where the hidden cards are set are clearly marked.

Because Luoyang fell from Tongguan, it began to check the passers-by at the city gate, and the Poluo army had nearly a thousand people. In order to enter the city smoothly, none of them carried weapons, and they pretended to be ordinary merchants and people mixed in.Entering the arsenal at this time, it is like a dragon entering the sea. Under Yang Ye's command, they carry out sneak attacks, first grab the weapon and then kill.Although the arsenal is heavily equipped, it cannot resist Yang Ye having the key.What's more, most of the guards were taken away to defend the city. There were not many people left, and they were attacked by surprise. In a short time, the clear and hidden cards were completely eliminated.

Afterwards, Yang Ye gave an order: "Each took a strong crossbow and rocket, and set fire to all over the city, trying to avoid fighting with others, and quickly rectify the Fa on the spot if there are obstacles. Half an hour later, the Yongsheng Gate will gather!" He looked back. Looking at the arsenal, he said: "Burn this arsenal too, so as not to prevent the enemy from fleeing here. If they stay here, it will become a disaster."

Wei Linxian said in a low voice: "It's a pity."

Yang Ye said: "Yang Tao likes literature and dislikes martial arts. In recent years, he has spent very little money on it, and there are not many decent weapons in the arsenal. Lord Cen's family has a big business, so we don't care about these rags."

A group of unarmed and good citizens instantly became well-armed soldiers, and scattered in all directions of the capital according to Yang Ye's instructions.

The arsenal of the capital burst into flames, and then the four corners of the city burst into flames one after another, causing waves of commotion, which became bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it didn't take long to spread to the whole city.

When Wei Mengduo heard the news in the middle of the night, his heart skipped a beat, he knew something was wrong, he hurried to the gate of the city, and went up the tower in three steps at a time, but he saw that in the city of Luoyang, flames shot up to the sky everywhere, and the smoke and dust billowed in a scene of swords fighting. The sound of beating and hissing, as well as the civilians mixed in to fight the fire, was already in chaos.He pondered for a while, and ordered the lieutenants beside him: "Strengthen the protection of the palace, and don't disturb the holy car. Also quickly report this matter to the emperor, saying that we will use the Henglu camp and Yizhen guards in the palace to quell the civil strife!"

The lieutenant general hurriedly ordered people to leave, and at this time, another shout of killing shook the sky outside the north gate. It turned out that Bei Chenqing came back with soldiers and horses. This time he used bed crossbows, giant logs, trebuchets, catapults and other large-scale siege vehicles. The equipment is several times more powerful than in the daytime.

Wei Mengduo looked around while listening to the report from the soldiers, there were fireworks flying everywhere above and below the city, inside and outside the city, and people shouted and neighed.The enemy army in the city is approaching here at this moment, although the number of them seems to be small, they are all nimble and moving like the wind, obviously they are not ordinary soldiers.

But the worst thing is not this. The deputy general followed up and reported: "General, His Majesty the Emperor refuses to see the last general, nor does he agree to lend Henglu Camp and Yi Zhenwei. The last general took the opportunity to look inside and outside the imperial city." , only the Central Imperial Guard guards the palace, and there is no sign of Henglu Battalion or Yi Zhenwei at all!"

With a sound of "pa", Wei Mengduo slapped a heavy palm on the wall of the city wall, breaking a piece of green brick, and then let out a long sigh, his mood was unclear.

The Yi Zhen guards did not borrow, Yang Ye brought the guards here, fought all the way in the shadow of swords and swords, and grabbed the tower.In the light of the hunting flames, the eyebrows were bright and the smile was rampant: "General Wei, the Marquis has been lingering in the city for a long time, why don't you entertain me?"

Before Wei Mengduo could answer, Yang Ye had already shouted: "Come here! Let's gang up on him! Those who can kill Wei Mengduo will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver!" With a spear in his hand, he took the lead in attacking.
