Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Bicheng, the first city in the south, is famous for its commerce, just like Mazhencheng. The difference is that Bicheng is rich in jade. In prosperous times, jade is a symbol of power and influence, but in troubled times, it is not as useful as a bag of grain.

The gates of Bicheng were opened and the city lord Yu Ziping led the people to surrender.

On the outskirts of Bicheng, several eunuchs with pale faces and no beards, who had their faces scrubbed to a very pale color, sat in a carriage and urged the soldiers to hurry on.

The soldiers were exhausted from traveling day and night, and were scolded by a group of dead eunuchs, who called them androgynous things. Have they forgotten that this is not Kyoto, much less the Imperial Palace, a place where they can act tyrannically.

In the carriage, the leading eunuch was one of the godsons of the Grand Chamberlain. He came this time to meet Ding Yi and ask him to go to Beijing to protect the emperor.

The old emperor had a good idea. Since Lord Chen was born into a peasant family, he needed the emperor, the king, to clear his name. So he reluctantly gave him a chance, named him King of Chen, and commanded all the troops in the world.

How could Jiang Suanguo have any soldiers in the world to speak of? They were all other people's private armies.

The old emperor was dreaming that the kings did not come to the capital because of his majestic power and they were afraid of his virtue and power.

As long as he is alive, they must abide by their duties as subjects.

Little did they know that the world had already been in chaos, and it was not that the kings did not want to go to the capital, but that they did not want to be the first to go.

The old emperor was dreaming in the palace, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

……

Outside Bicheng, several men drove a carriage and requested to meet Lord Chen. Blood was dripping from the carriage. When the door was opened, a strong smell of blood hit their noses.

Surrounding the men, the soldiers guarding the city hurried in to report.

"You said you were the Kyoto Imperial Guards and you came here to persuade the old emperor to surrender?"

Ding Yi was shocked. What kind of weird brain did he have? He wanted to surrender at this time. Shouldn't he just surrender?

The leader, Tang Botao, knelt down and said, "Lord Chen, it is not our intention to surrender. It is the old emperor and these eunuchs who want to surrender. We are here to seek refuge with Lord Chen. Please accept us. We will die for you to repay your kindness. Our family has some influence in Kyoto, and we can help Lord Chen to get the news of Kyoto."

If used well, gossip can be as effective as a powerful weapon.

"Okay! Chen Quan, take them down. I'll leave them to you. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible."

The key is to remember brainwashing.

Ding Yi blinked, and Chen Quan understood immediately that his third uncle was becoming more and more naughty.

He continued to march southwards and confronted the alliance of kings head-on in the city of Yanshi.

I don’t know how the alliance of kings discussed it, but they unanimously decided to eliminate the unpredictable Lord Chen first.

Ding Yi moved in a diagonal manner, killing his way through the northwest to the southeast, and then changed route to enter Beijing from the southeast.

In this area, the alliance of kings was completely defeated and could only flee separately.

Chen Wang didn't want to do it anymore. He blamed his father and mother for not having more smart children. Now he had helpers, so why did he have to stay behind and clean up after his father again and again?

Dad flies forward, and his son follows him forever.

Behind the companionship are countless bitter tears.

Most of the kings in the world were killed by Ding Yi, and the remaining half ran for their lives, fearing that they would be a step slower. Ding Yi swung out his forty-meter-long sword, and the blade cut them to the ground.

After escaping, they all found places to hide, hoping that the evil star would leave quickly and not stay.

As we all know, the former Marquis of Chen, now the King of Chen, although he was the last to be crowned king, he occupies the first echelon among all the kings, and no one can be ranked alongside him.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace, the once magnificent and magnificent palace, was visibly dim. The old emperor, already in his sixties, was still reveling every night, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, dreaming of becoming the ruler of the world.

"Come, my beauty, drink. Drink this cup, and there is another one. Tonight, my beloved concubine and I will not return until we are drunk."

……

The nearest city to Kyoto is Taicheng in Qingyun County. Fan Kaifeng, the prince of Taicheng, was originally one of the great princes, but now he has been crippled by Ding Yi. As Ding Yi approaches step by step, Fan Kaifeng gradually retreats.

"The game is over." Fan Kaifeng stood on the city wall of Taicheng, looking towards Kyoto, and made an important decision.

Summoning his subordinates and children and grandchildren, Fan Kaifeng's disheveled white hair looked lifeless under the crackling torches.

"Everyone, King Chen came with great power, and we were powerless to resist. It's not because we are incompetent, but because King Chen is too strong. Now, King Chen will definitely take over the capital, and it's not a pity for us to die, but our children are still young, and I have let everyone down."

Fan Kaifeng burst into tears, and the generals who had faced Ding Yi head-on were terrified.

Yes, it’s not a pity that they died, but what about the children?

"General!" The subordinate called out the original title, tears in his eyes, "General, should we fight to the death in the front and send the children away from the rear?"

Fan Kaifeng shook his head, looking sad. "Escape, where to escape to? All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. The new dynasty is coming soon, where can we escape to?"

The lights were on in the military tent, and cries could be heard from time to time.

The next day, the gates of Taicheng were opened, and Fan Kaifeng led a group of people and rushed towards Kyoto.

Everyone was wondering if Fan Kaifeng was crazy, and whether he thought that by entering Kyoto, he would be the ultimate winner.

Kyoto was sparsely populated, not at all like the capital of Jiang Suan. Fan Kaifeng ordered his men to close the city gates and reopen them a day later. A thousand soldiers and horses entered the city one after another, running through Suzaku Street without stopping.

The palace was right in front of them. Fan Kaifeng led everyone to stop and said, "Everyone, whether the child can survive depends on us. Kill them. Jiang is a member of the royal family. No one should be spared."

On this day, the imperial palace was stained with blood. All the royal family members who were still in Kyoto, including their babies, were killed by the butcher's knife.

Fan Kaifeng and others drew their swords and killed themselves in the palace.

It looked like there were two groups of people fighting in the palace. In the end, both sides were defeated and no one survived.

Ding Yi easily obtained Jiang Suan's last two cities, which were the two most important cities among all the cities and also the easiest to obtain.

After entering Kyoto, Ding Yi did not dare to relax at all. As the saying goes, a boat capsizes in a ditch. It is not that it is easy to capsize in a ditch, but that people often underestimate the ditch and are careless.

Unable to understand Fan Kaifeng's operation, Ding Yi did not dare to be careless. After taking over Kyoto, he led his men to open the heavy gate of the palace.

"Report, 5,617 people in the palace, none survived."

"Report, Jiang Suan, a member of the royal family, was killed, with one sword in the throat."

"Report, the bodies of Fan Kaifeng and his subordinates were found."

"Report..."

It was not until this time that Ding Yi figured out the meaning of Fan Kaifeng's series of abnormal behaviors. He used his own life and the lives of his generals to pave a way for Ding Yi. As long as all the royal family members were dead, Ding Yi would not be considered a traitor.

Fan Kaifeng's purpose of surrendering to Ding Yi was just for the sake of Taicheng's family. He hoped that Ding Yi would give them a chance to live in consideration of his actions in clearing the way for them.

Their family members can live, but they cannot.
