Xiruoxuan saw Sun Lenzhi, who was holding on to the tower and looking down. Xiruoxuan urged his horse forward, followed closely by Su Shaokai. Xi Ruoxuan shouted loudly: "Is that Master Sun standing on the tower, Sun Aiqing?"
Sun Lengzhi saw Xiruoxuan and said loudly: "Who is your Sun Aiqing? I am a minister of the late emperor, not a minion of your usurper."
Xiruo Chu, if you don’t believe it, you can come down and have a look.”
"Bah, who wants to see these forgeries of yours? Brothers, this woman is the thief who usurped Dayan Jiangshan. Shoot her to death!" Following Sun Lengzhi's shout, dozens of crossbowmen immediately faced Xiruoxuan was like a flurry of arrows.
Xi Ruoxuan's expression remained unchanged, and he danced with his sword and played with the eagle feathers. Su Shaokai quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense to this beast, let's attack the city!"
Xi Ruoxuan nodded, and she moved her horse back into the formation. Su Shaokai raised the sword in his hand: "Brothers, the person standing on the tower is the traitor Sun Lengzhi. If you catch him, he will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
Following Su Shaokai's order, the soldiers began to attack the city, and thousands of arrows were fired from the towers. When it comes to the siege of the city, the party on the tower does have an advantage. They are condescending and waiting for work. Under the city tower, there are ladders and shields, which is very passive.
Sun Lengzhi commanded the crossbowmen to fire for a while, and then he ordered the city gate to be opened. In an instant, countless fresh troops rushed out of the city, waving their swords and guns and charging towards them like tigers. The soldiers on Xi Ruoxuan's side may have traveled a long distance and were a little weak. They resisted for a while and were finally defeated. Although Su Shaokai fought desperately, he was unable to stand alone and finally retreated with everyone. They were fighting and running, and they retreated for twenty miles to establish their positions.
Xi Ruoxuan counted the number of people and found that he had lost five thousand soldiers and horses in this battle. Of course, not all of the five thousand soldiers and horses died in the battle. Many of them surrendered after listening to the rumors or deserted.
Xi Ruoxuan set up camp and called several lieutenants and Su Shaokai over to discuss the next strategy. Several lieutenants all pleaded guilty and asked the emperor to punish him. Xi Ruoxuan waved his hand: "Uh! This failure is my fault. How can I blame you? Think about how you can capture Gu Yan and capture Sun Lengzhi alive."
The generals expressed their opinions. Some suggested killing him back to catch him off guard; some suggested going to the capital to mobilize reinforcements. Xi Ruoxuan has his own plans. She planned to wait a little longer for news about Master Murong. According to the calculation of time, he should also arrive.
In fact, Master Murong has already arrived, but he didn't arrive at the right time. When he and Liu Chenglong rushed to Guyandong City, Sun Lengzhi was leading his army to cover up the killing. Liu Chenglong called the city gate for a long time, but no one at the city gate paid attention to him. Since the battlefield was fought in the North City, it was still quiet here in the East City. Except for the soldiers guarding the city, everything was as usual on the city tower.
Liu Chenglong called the city gate for a while and became anxious: "You bastards, I am the reinforcements invited by your Lord Sun. How dare you not let me in? If you miss the important thing, Lord Sun will chop your heads off!"
The soldiers were also a little scared, and they hurriedly reported it to the deputy general guarding the city. The deputy general immediately climbed up the tower: "Hey! Are you really invited by Master Sun?"
Liu Chenglong said angrily: "I am Liu Chenglong, the leader of the Tietou Gang. Didn't you Master Sun ask us to help in the battle? If you don't open the city gate, I will leave!"
The deputy general had received an order from Sun Lengzhi, saying that the leader of the Tietou Gang would bring thousands of people to help, and the city gates would be opened to welcome them. However, whether the person under the tower is actually Liu Chenglong, it would be terrible if he is fake.
When Liu Chenglong saw that the deputy general still had no intention of opening the door, he said to Murong Xiaotian, "How about we leave on a false pretense and see his reaction."
Murong Xiaotian thought it was a good idea and nodded: "Okay! Let's go!"
Liu Chenglong shouted to the tower: "You bastard, I walked on the mountain road for two days, and you didn't open the door. Then I left. If Lord Sun asks me about it later, I will say that you won't let me in, so I left." , Brothers, let’s go back to the mountains to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.”
After Liu Chenglong finished speaking, he led the team to withdraw. The deputy general at the gate tower was a little timid. If the people under the gate tower were really from the Tietou Gang, how could I explain it to Lord Sun
"Hey! Slow down a little. How about you open the door after I report to Mr. Sun?"
Liu Chenglong said angrily: "Then you have to hurry up. I'm covered in sweat when I leave, my mouth is thirsty, and my stomach is hungry. I don't have time to wait here!"
The lieutenant general was a little embarrassed: "Master Sun is fighting in Beicheng. I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer. How about we give you some water and wine or something?"
Murong Xiaotian nodded: "Brother, that's good, we are just in time, give him a good beating."
Liu Chenglong shouted: "Hey! Why don't you hurry up? The brothers are all very hungry. Give me chicken, duck, fish, meat, and good wine."
The lieutenant general cursed in his heart, this guy shouldn't be a cheating man! Although the lieutenant general muttered in his heart, in order to prevent Liu Chenglong from leaving, he had no choice but to order the soldiers to carry out the good wine and food and put them in baskets and lower the tower. Liu Chenglong was overjoyed and immediately gathered his minions around to enjoy the delicious food.
By the time the deputy general found Sun Lenzhi, an hour had passed. Sun Lengzhi hurried to Dongcheng and saw that it was Liu Chenglong. He was overjoyed and held Liu Chenglong's hand and refused to let go: "Brother! If you come here, big things will come true!"
Murong Xiaotian hid away as soon as he saw Sun Lenzhi coming. He remembered that he had met Sun Lenzhi once. He was not sure whether the old guy remembered it, so he had better stay away to avoid missing important events.
Sun Lengzhi took Liu Chenglong's hand and walked into Guyan City. Along the way, he kept bragging about his abilities, saying that he could beat the shit out of Xi Ruoxuan in one battle. If he attacks again tomorrow, he will surely capture Xi Ruoxuan alive. Weak Xuan. Liu Chenglong secretly smiled in his heart, you are still daydreaming here when you are about to die, tonight I will ask you to move your head, and then let the emperor enter the city. Although Liu Chenglong thought so in his heart, he said: "Then I will rely on my eldest brother's blessing. When my eldest brother becomes the emperor, I will become a general."
Sun Lengzhi waved his hand: "You are not a general, it is not too much for me to make you a marshal. Just follow me and enjoy the blessings! However, don't make this matter public now. Brother, I still want to set up the flag of Xiao Wen." Get up, otherwise my appeal will not be enough, and the people in the world will not be convinced!"
"Big brother is really wise. Follow him and the younger brother is right." Liu Chenglong flattered him vigorously.
"Don't try to flatter me all the time. When fighting, you still need to rely on brave generals like me!"
Liu Chenglong cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, big brother, everything will be taken care of by the little brother."
When Sun Lengzhi returned to the county government, he held a banquet to welcome Liu Chenglong and celebrate his soldiers' achievements. It's okay to celebrate, but you should drink less. Sun Lengzhi was so drunk that no one knew what was going on. Liu Chenglong helped him into the back hall, and Sun Lengzhi lay down to sleep. When Liu Chenglong saw the opportunity came, he also pretended to be drunk and slept in the county government office. Sun Lengzhi's cronies couldn't drive Liu Chenglong out. After all, he was really Lord Sun's old friend, so Liu Chenglong's trick succeeded.
In the middle of the night, Liu Chenglong tapped Sun Lenzhi's acupuncture points, then covered his head and slipped out of the window quietly. Although the county government office was heavily guarded, Liu Chenglong was still unguarded.
When several soldiers saw Liu Chenglong carrying a man out, they came over and asked, "Sir, who is this person in your body?"
Liu Chenglong chuckled: "This person tried to assassinate Mr. Sun while he was drunk, but I killed him."
Several soldiers looked at Liu Chenglong blankly, not knowing what to say. Before they could react, Liu Chenglong carried Sun Lenzhi out of the north gate. Murong Xiaotian had already notified Xiruoxuan at this time, and Xiruoxuan quietly approached Guyan City with his army. As soon as Liu Chenglong opened the door, Xi Ruoxuan asked Su Shaokai to lead his troops into the city.
There was a sudden chaos in the city. The soldiers looked for the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief looked for the deputy general, and the deputy general looked for Sun Lengzhi. However, Sun Lengzhi had already been captured by Xi Ruoxuan. Some experienced lieutenants immediately organized soldiers to fight back, and a life-and-death battle officially began. Su Shaokai came well prepared this time. He fought hard to avenge his past humiliation. Seeing how brave the commander was, the soldiers also used all their strength. The soldiers in the city couldn't stand it any longer, and they began to flee one after another. Su Shaokai quickly occupied the county government office.
It was already dawn at this time, and Xiruoxuan walked into Guyan City. The first thing she did was to behead Sun Lengzhi in public, and then announced his crime. Some citizens who were deceived threw away their weapons and went home.
Xi Ruoxuan immediately issued an order that all citizens who participated in the rebellion would be exempted from crime as long as they admitted their mistakes and promised not to oppose the court again. The land policy of Guyan City has also been appropriately adjusted to allow some homeless citizens to own some land.
As soon as the policy came out, the people in ancient Yancheng rushed to tell each other and praised the new emperor for his kindness. The storm had finally subsided. At this moment, a special person knocked on the door of Xi Ruoxuan.
When Xi Ruoxuan heard about this person, his heart moved because this person had a special status. He was Xiao Tielong's distant cousin Xiao Wen. Although he was still a child, he was still a relative of the emperor. Xi Ruoxuan did not treat him badly and kept him in the palace. Su Shaokai advised Xi Ruoxuan that this person is a scourge and should not stay in the palace even if he is not eliminated. Xi Ruoxuan did not listen to him, and still kept Xiao Wen in the palace, asking him to read and write, and preparing to use him in the future.
After pacifying Gu Yan, Xi Ruoxuan held a civil and military banquet. She first appointed Su Shaokai as Hussar General, Liu Chenglong as Dingyuan General, Murong Xiaotian as Chariot General, and Yang Xibiao as Huwei General, leading the capital of Yan and Yao as the left. Prime Minister. Each minister received a reward, and the entire Yunyan Kingdom was immersed in joy.
