Then outside Lintong City in ruins. Surrounded by the three eight-armed Niutou Tianwang Banner (Honored by the Ministry of Zhu Xie), the Sirius Banner (from the Department of Sager) and the Golden Bull Banner (from the Department of Anqing), Zhu Xieyi, who was once known as Li Keyong in Tang Dynasty (has been pursued) Saint, held an emergency provisional military meeting.
Among the dozens of military generals present, a small half were Jianrui men of various races brought back by Saint Zhu Xieyi from outside the Great Wall, and a small number were the old Zhu Xie tribe who had returned to the tent, and the rest were Those from the Anqing and Sager tribes who were conquered from the conquest were led by the monks.
This is also the way that Saint Zhu Xieyi returned to the north of (Yin) Mountain and was able to quickly regain control of the situation of the Zhu Xie tribe in the northern territory of the four scattered dynasties, and reinvigorate the situation; even by this, he overwhelmed the tribes and mastered the Shatuo clan The real dominance.
Therefore, since they are able to gather under the command of Saint Zhu Xieyi, the Fanluo cavalry they have raised are almost representative of the nineteen tribes of the three major clans in Beishatuo, and the great power of their vassal (miscellaneous) forces. Part of the essence lies.
Therefore, in theory, as long as these tribe cavalry are still there, even after the subordinate tribes, cattle, sheep, and servants are all lost, they can easily come back again and rebuild a brand new place by relying on the looted land and herd accounts. The pattern of power comes.
Therefore, there were many disputes and disagreements among them as to whether to rescue the Shatuo, Tuihun and Tatar tribes led by Zhuxie Shougong/Li Kerang under Chang'an City.
For example, Li Youguan and others from the Yuzhou regiment, formerly owned by Yuzhou governor Li Youjin, used those generals related to Tatar and Pushing, and about a dozen people successively invited themselves as the first step, and sent troops to the south of the city to break the thieves.
However, there is also the tall and loud-sounding general of the Shatuo tribe, An Jingsi, who clearly opposes directly rescuing the city of Chang'an; while shrinking his forces on the spot, avoiding the enemy's direction and taking the initiative to find another fighter.
In this case, another envoy from Fengcheng Army Li Kexiu proposed a compromise method, suggesting that if the enemy's situation is unknown, he should move closer to the east of Chang'an City, and get in touch with the recruiting camp in the city to make plans before reaching the corner.
The chief of the Anqing clan, Shi Jingsi, the younger brother of Shi Jingcun, the governor of the Nine Houses, simply proposed to go south directly to support the Anqing headquarters in Lantian County, and work together to defeat the thieves.
As for some people who have not expressed their views at all, it is mainly the athletes from outside the Great Wall brought by Saint Zhu Xieyi from the north of Yinshan Mountain; they are obviously used to not saying a word, only the head of Saint Zhu Xieyi is to see and order. .
And these attitudes basically represent the composition of the various forces and the location of the big and small hills in the Shatuo's main formation headed by Zhu Xieyisheng; therefore, after he listened in silence, he couldn't help but speak:
"In that case, I have decided..."
"But listen to the instructions..."
The crowd stood in awe when they heard and knew, and whether they were willing or unwilling, they all made a gesture of listening and following one after another. And Zhu Xieyi Sheng was also very satisfied with the faint authority he had established in a series of wars and continued to speak:
"Since our army entered the Pass, it has fought no more than tens of thousands of thieves, and it has not been able to fight north. It depends on only one word of loyalty and one courage, and it depends on everyone's concerted efforts;
"Therefore, what Qilang (Li Kerang) asks for will be saved, and the Governor of the History will also respond. However, everything is slow and slow, Chongyuan!"
Immediately he clicked on the words of Li Kexiu, the envoy of Fengcheng Army:
"You are picking up a Qingqi and speeding to the southern suburbs of Shangjing to find out the situation. If there is something to be done, you can deal with it and fight for one or two. If it cannot be done, you will try your best to take Qilang and the others out..."
"Then I led my army to the south and merged with the governor of the Anqing Department of History. After the thieves were defeated, I would go west into the territory of Wugong and stay with Tuoba (Sigong) to join forces and fight again..."
After the military dissipated, Zhu Xieyi Sheng called the Black Crow Army as his own guard, Zuo Lie Miao Jilie, and secretly gave another special explanation and arrangement.
—I am secretly laying out the dividing line —
In Wengcheng, one of the three gates in the south of Chang'an City, many people and dependents who have had to retreat here to take refuge are also waiting for the arrival of the last moment in fear as the sky is getting closer and screaming.
The roar of firearms on the city’s head and the huge noise of countless people’s attacks and killings directly caused countless years to infiltrate and become mottled with green moss. In these panicked crowds.
However, at this moment, the women also stopped crying and sobbing meaninglessly, and the older people no longer sighed and complained. The children who had been crying and crying seemed to feel some kind of inexplicability, and became gradually Quieted down.
And in a lonely dark room above Wengcheng, Empress Cao, who sent all the attendants out and locked the door, also looked bitterly at a bottle of medicinal liquor brought out of the palace, it seemed that it was finally her turn. Things come in handy right away.
Because she really didn't have enough courage to survive, and accept the humiliation and torture of the officers and soldiers as the captured Queen of Qi. Perhaps because of her own value and symbolic significance, she will not die immediately, but she may not be able to escape the fate of life worse than death.
When she made up her mind, she picked up this bottle, claiming to get rid of some patients who were paralyzed by a stroke, and on the Mafeisan recipe found in the fragments of Huatuo’s sacculus technique, she concocted it to be able to paralyze in sleep The medicinal liquor that ultimately kills the whole body; pull the cork.
But unexpectedly, someone outside clapped the door, and she was shocked that her hands shook and sprinkled a hint of wine with medicinal aroma, and then she listened to the voice of Cao's guard urn outside the door:
"Niang, you have already invited over..."
Later, I saw Xiao Liu who was equally worried, together with the nurse holding the baby in her arms, and another young child who was holding in her hands, all being taken to this place, which was closed without doors and windows. In the inner room.
"I have seen the middle palace, but I don't know the middle palace..."
Suran's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red and swollen. It seemed that Liu, who had been crying with a headache, seemed to be holding on to him. He languished and asked for peace. Then he quickly understood it, but he was silent and wanted to quit.
However, he found that the portal behind him had been blocked by two palace men with big waists round, full of solemn and resolute faces. I couldn't help but threw inexplicably in horror, knelt down on the ground and cried out:
"Zhonggong, it's so pitiful, why is it so..."
"It's not that I want to deliberately embarrass you... Once things go wrong, the two children may still have a way to survive..."
Empress Cao sighed helplessly.
"But you and I are both kings, so how lucky is it? At least before everything goes wrong, or you can get a full and decent face, if it is unfortunately lost because of indecision, it is not said that it is a separation of flesh and blood. It's hard to beg to die..."
"Central Palace"
"The Great Hall"
"Niang Niang"
"Sister Cao"
The Liu family changed several names in succession, and then dropped the baby and crawled forward a few steps and hugged Queen Cao's legs and feet, and pleaded more and more sternly.
"The slave and maid really can't bear these two children..."
And as if receiving some kind of induction, whether it was the infant in the baby or the young child in the hands of the nursing mother, they all cried loudly. Under such an atmosphere of life and death, Empress Cao could not help but feel soft; Amidst the increasingly mournful cry, he became determined again:
"I have a bottle of medicinal wine that can make people die without pain. Just one sip and one sip is enough to get relief... Don't worry, I will go with you; they will destroy you and mine when they are over. The face will never be given to the king..."
Then, I saw the crying heartbreaking Liu suddenly jumped up, and used the tip of an unplugged hairpin to press against Empress Cao’s neck, while the shaved head exuded a shrill voice that resembled a ghost and shouted:
"Let them let go and go out with me, I don't want to go with your old godly woman... Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking about, or that if you collude with the Taiping army, you can do it recklessly..."
"Let me tell you, it's a big deal. It's a big deal. Let the people of Weihe Mansion and the Arch Guards escort my mother and son to break through the encirclement. Why is there a pretentious setting to force me to death?..."
"Do you really think so..."
However, in the face of inexplicable horror on the left and right, Cao sighed and suddenly grasped the hairpin she was against her neck, and immediately pierced her neck with a splash of blood;
Then this one was turned back together with Liu's fingers, and she screamed on the spot, and then she was forced to the ground by the two palace men who came forward. Then Empress Cao felt the red color that kept secreting from her neck and sighed:
"Next time you want to fight hard to coerce others, remember not to use this kind of gold and silver objects that are not strong enough... I wanted to give you some time to be alone and say goodbye. It doesn't seem to be necessary anymore... Let the child go for a while. Right!"
Then, regardless of how Liu struggled and moved on the ground, the two palace men tore the dust smeared on the exquisite tunic, and the white and moving texture scratched out countless bloodstains; in the end, they pinched their mouths and noses. She opened her mouth and pressed her chopsticks against her teeth.
It was just as worthy of a small half of the mouth to go in, and the grunting like a spring could not spit out, but slowly choked in; at this time, there was another rush of footsteps and more intense noises from the outside. Bursts.
Empress Cao couldn't help feeling sad, could it be that she couldn't wait for such a moment. Then someone broke in outside the door and shouted out of breath:
"Manny..."
"Central Palace..."
"The enemy outside the city.",
Empress Cao glanced intently, but it was Cao Hong, the blood-stained guard of the Cao family, and said in a calm voice:
"Please also fight for me a moment..."
"Niang Niang...The enemy outside the city...has been defeated...Ah!!!"
After hearing the sound, Cao Hong stuttered more and more eagerly.
"The brigade came to help...have been from...Guanghua Gate...and...Qixia Gate, they have entered the city one after another..."
"what.."
At this moment, Empress Cao seemed to be waking up from a dream, and suddenly she sat on the ground with a sense of disbelief and ecstasy.
"Manny..."
At this time, the palace man in charge of administering medicine could not help letting go amid the painful cry of being bitten, causing Liu to crawl freely. He swayed and tried to grab the door, but was given him again. Anti-advanced.
After seeing this scene, Empress Cao became more determined and said:
"You continue to..." (End of this chapter)
