Prison Dragon

Everyone thought that Cui Jue was a playboy, at least he had no fighting power.

Lian Yangshi let out a sigh of relief when he knew that Cui Jue had taken over the city defense.

From a practical point of view, he really is.

He was born in a family of civil servants, his writing was not good, his appearance was not good, and he had no party affiliation in the court. He drank and had fun with his officers and soldiers all day long, and he was a military attache who had never even been on the battlefield.

Everyone dislikes him.

It's just that all the generals who could be used were defeated in Qishan, and only Cui Jue, who was in charge of the imperial army, did not leave the station.

Yang Ti did not have selfish motives in ordering him to join the battle. In his opinion, Li Du would not be able to resist at all. When the time came to run away by himself, he would have to have a scapegoat.

At first glance, Cui Jue is a playboy and a prodigal. He should lose the battle, shouldn't he?It has nothing to do with Yang Ti, Yang Ti was just deceived.

He obviously forgot that when appointing a person who is not worthy, the monarch also has to bear the responsibility of not knowing the person clearly.

However, after deciding on a plan to drive away tigers and wolves, they must stay in the capital, otherwise they will lose the biggest bargaining chip.

Even the capital is lost, do you still have the face to fool people with that prince?

But the appointment has already been made, and there is no way to chase him back, so Lin Mu had no choice but to confirm the city defense news with Cui Jue three times a day.

Cui Jue was really annoyed by their family, and he was afraid that if he defended the city in the front, the Lin family would make something wrong in the back, so he had to express his determination to Lin Mu over and over again patiently.

To be honest, he has no idea, Yang Shi is a fierce man, how long he can last depends on Lin Mu's reinforcements.

There are eight city gates in Lidu, and Cui Jue has tried his best to allocate them.After arranging the defensive force, there are still 3000 people left to deal with emergencies at any time.

Both sides are ready for everything, just waiting for the east wind that passes the smoke and drums.

It was not yet dawn, and there was still a cold and damp mist in the air.

A low drum beat opened the curtain of the war.

The Xuanjia army attacked Zhanghua Gate in the west, and the battle was very fierce. The Xuanjia army, with light infantry holding shields, lined up outside the moat first, and the crossbowmen attacked the tower under the cover of shields.

The Xuanjia army used a good bow to deal with the Turks. After a series of volleys/shoots/down, the defenders sacrificed many people.

By attacking in arrays of heavy armored soldiers, they climbed up the city walls to fight.

The siege log punched a three-foot hole in the outer wall. As soon as the Xuanjia army poured into the gap in the outer wall, they were immediately caught off guard by the mines buried by Cui Jue. They were surrounded by archers on the walls on both sides. , the first wave of people who invaded died.However, the Xuanjia Army was not afraid of death at all. The corpses were spread on several floors, and they were still rushing forward, trying to break through the mezzanine and reach the inner wall.

On the endless Weizhou Plain, Lidu has no danger to occupy, so it has no choice but to build itself into an impenetrable city.

There are three walls in Lidu, with a moat in between, and there are various secret passages connecting the city walls. In terms of the strength of the city walls, Lidu is definitely the number one city in Qi.

The battle lasted from morning to noon, and the corpses of the Xuanjia army kept filling the trap dug by Cui Jue in front of the city gate.

There are only so few defenders, one dies less than one, and outside the city there is a steady stream of Xuanjia troops, Cui Jue's heart aches when he sees it.

This kind of sacrifice is still in Yang Shi's expectation. The siege is like this. If there is no internal response and skillful memory, it will have to be smashed with human life.After a battle, he faintly calmed down and gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Cui Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally repelled the first attack.He immediately sent people to clean up the corpses and mend the city wall. If there was a shortage of materials, he allowed them to demolish the houses and count the number of victims, which was about 400.

With such a small number of people, Cui Jue was also sad for a long time.

When the news of the defenders spread throughout Lidu, everyone's face became a little happy, and finally they didn't have to suffer from the war.

The more Yang Xiu thought about it, the more something went wrong, "Yang Shi can't fight casually, he will definitely cut off the supply route of Lidu."

For a large city with hundreds of millions of people, the amount of rations it consumes every day is a jaw-dropping amount.

"Without foreign aid, I can't stand it." Yang Xiu strengthened his opinion even more.

It's not that Cui Jue is incompetent, even if the crown prince gave him a lump of mud, he couldn't cook any good food.

I thought Yang Ti took good care of his confidant younger brother...

"Then what should we do?" Yang Lun was at a loss.

"We have to hide." Yang Xiu made a decisive decision, "When the city is broken, Yang Shi must not find us. I will send someone to inform the people in the palace. You take the princess and immediately hide in my subordinate's house pretending to be a commoner. .I will send someone to meet you later. If the situation is not right, just run away."

Yang Lun nodded in despair.

On the night when they hid in the darkroom of the private house, while they were sleeping soundly, the Xuanjia Army's siege began again.

Yang Shi's army strength is at least three times that of theirs, and he can take turns to harass them. Cui Jue is in trouble. There are only so few people. Whenever there is a situation during the day and night, he has to fight, and the soldiers are already crying.

But this time, the Xuanjia Army used Lu Gong's chariot.

Cui Jue almost vomited blood when he heard the news. Lu Gong's chariot was a huge siege chariot. It was complicated to disassemble, but powerful and powerful.

And the defenders' bows and arrows have been consumed a lot.

That night, the Mingde Gate in the south was breached, and thousands of Xuanjia troops rushed into the city to fight the Fubing.

The government soldiers retreated all the way, and the Xuanjia army rushed to Yujie. Although every household closed their doors tightly when they heard the wind, there were still many people who were implicated and died.

"I can't hold it anymore!" Yang Ti, who has been concerned about the battle situation, shouted, "Let's go."

He had already prepared his chariot and horses, and wanted to take away the emperor and the servants in the palace.

Concubine Xian held him back, "I can't leave, if I leave, I will never come again."

"The tiger swallowed the wolf, the tiger didn't see it, but the wolf swallowed it first!" Yang Ti wished he could escape from Lidu a few days earlier, and was determined to leave.

Lin Mu also tried to persuade him not to stop, but said: "Then Cui Jue has cleaned up the remaining soldiers in the city, I believe tonight is just a small accident."

"All the rebels have rushed into the city, is it an accident?" Yang Ti pointed at Lin Mu, "Grandfather, what about the next time, will they directly enter the palace next time?"

Lin Mu also hesitated. He repeatedly misjudged the situation and caused irreparable mistakes.

Those who drive away tigers and wolves must first be stronger than tigers and wolves.

It was night, and a group of carriages covered with black cloth sneaked away from Chunming Gate.

After repelling an attack at dawn, Cui Jue reported to Lin Mu as usual, but when he reached the inner court, he found that the ministers were sparsely standing, and the number of them was small.

Everyone stared blankly at the vacated positions of prince and Zhongshuling.

Cui Jue thumped in his heart.

Liu Shangshu just got the news from the palace, stood on the steps and said: "Prince...Prince Chunshou..."

boom--

The whole world was clamoring, Cui Jue thought, it's over.

Before Yang Ti left Lidu, the people hadn't reacted yet, an official opened the gate of Lidu, prepared a seal and things, and greeted Yang Shi as if he was welcoming Yang Ti's superior position.

Yang Shi rode his horse, enjoying the attention of the whole capital, and walked proudly into the palace that only belonged to the emperor.

He gave his first order to find his two younger brothers no matter what.

"History of Qi" contains: March [-], Prince Yang Ti left Beijing for spring hunting, Guangwu King Yang Shi ascended the throne, and changed his Yuan to Longxing.

After Yang You received the secret decree, the epidemic disappeared without a trace. He detained Yang Ti's emissary, and immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses to enter the capital to serve as king.

The three armies of the Southwest directly mobilized 20 real soldiers, headed by 17 Miao soldiers, led by Liao Xiang and Yang Yuchun, and rushed to the capital at full speed.Of the remaining [-], [-] was brought by Liu Wu, and the rest was led by Yang You himself.

Haijin just named Zhong Yilang last year. For the convenience of writing in the future, Yang You wrote a letter and named him Yang Chixin. Yang You had already convinced Yang Chixin in the Southwest, leaving behind Yang Chixin and Deng Kai. One Miao and one Han, there shouldn't be any problems.

Ever since Wu Yizhi was captured, the Wu family wished to lie low in front of Yang You every day in order to preserve their safety. Yang You dared not leave Liu Wu to sit in the southwest alone, so he let Liu Hui sit in Jiannan Jiedu's mansion.Liu Wu took his youngest son Liu Heng and sent troops with him.

Liu Hui is his son, but he shares the same ambitions with Yang You, and is close to the imperial court in politics, so it is safe to keep Yang You.

After such an arrangement, he took his men and horses on the road.

"My lord, what do you think?" Liu Wu kept asking about his plans along the way.

"King Qin is the most important thing in the world." Yang You only said, "I will save the country from danger, and I will go to the father's emergency. All success and blessings will be attributed to the clan society, and death will be due to loyalty and filial piety."

This is another set of pure loyalty and filial piety, Liu Wu had already seen through the black heart behind him, and chatted with him a few thoughts about his military father.

"In my opinion," the youngest son, Liu Heng, is only in his teens now, when he was in his youthful spirit. He was pampered by his family, and he spoke straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Yang You exclaimed, "Young master has the spirit of a tiger and a wolf, and you will be feared by future generations."

What do you know?Liu Wu slapped Liu Heng lightly. If this kid can be as swaying as Yang You, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Liu Wu's original intention was to dominate one side, first obey the court's orders, and then spend several generations to slowly plan for the family business. Unexpectedly, Yang You disrupted his plan when he came, and sent his eldest son Liu Hui under the royal family. No matter how determined he is to be a long history, if his son wants to join the imperial court, he has to slow down.

What's more, this time he really caught him. He has met the one in the northwest several times, and it's hard to say.

What kind of a good person is Yang You?There is always a smile on his face, never attacking in person, only behind the back.

Yang You is more tolerant than others, able to pretend, and knows how to choose.

Maybe it really became him?

Liu Wu thought, if he wants to take him with him, he is also forcing himself to stand in line. Anyway, all the soldiers are given to Yang You, so he can't just rely on other people in the future.
