"Tongzhou City is lost" Seeing Yang Rong vomiting blood, he hurriedly supported him left and right, and now Master Yang no longer had the strength to break free from them, and muttered in despair: "How can this be, how can this be" Yang Rong's gaze slowly fell on Xu Huaiqing's corpse, and finally understood that the other party deliberately did not escape, not to provoke, but to provoke himself, attract himself to nail himself firmly outside Tongzhou City, and let all his attention be on him to create an opportunity for Wang Xian to earn the city "The old man is a sinner through the ages," Master Yang screamed sadly, and suddenly pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, about to wipe it off his neck Left and right hurriedly grabbed his arm, and Yang Rong did not succeed in committing suicide. otbnkotgt "How to take it," Yang Rong said in tears.
He knows too well the situation of Tongzhou City, the city has thick walls, perfect facilities, and the grain and grass in the city are like mountains.
And the imperial court, without the grain and grass in Tongzhou, will not last long at all "Tongzhou may not have been lost" At this time, Li Xian suddenly whispered.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Xian, and Yang Rong also stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"
"There are still 30,000 troops in the city, and the south, north, and east gates are also in our hands" Li Xian didn't dare to look at Yang Rong's eyes.
"What" Yang Rong came to life all of a sudden, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xian, and said angrily: "Then why did you run out?"
"I" Li Xian said timidly: "I'm here to report to the elder."
Naturally, this statement cannot be false.
The real situation is that he was distracted by the pursuers behind him, and he actually ran to the north gate in one breath At this time, there were still thousands of defenders at the north gate, and when they saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to take over the main general.
Li Xian was completely frightened, seeing that behind Wu Wei and the others, thousands of cavalry were rolling in, he was full of fear, where did he dare to stay in the city, and actually shouted to the city guards: "Open the city gate quickly" The guards had already seen that the city was in chaos, and at this time, it would be meaningless to close the city gates tightly, but would block the reinforcements from coming, so they naturally obeyed the order immediately and opened the closed city gates Waiting for the city gate to open, Li Xianyi dragged a cavalryman off his horse.
As soon as the city gate opened a crack, he staggered and rode out of Tongzhou How dare he tell Yang Rong about this real situation 。
Hearing that Tongzhou City had not yet been captured, Yang Rong didn't care about disposing of Li Xian, so he hurriedly got on his horse and led the army back to help.
More than ten miles away, the fast horse galloped and came in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Rong took 20,000 cavalry to the city of Tongzhou.
Because the west gate had been taken, Yang Rong went straight to the north and wanted to enter the city through the north gate, but saw that the city gate open for Li Xian was already closed.
Yang Rong sighed in his heart, but he still didn't give up, and let people call the door.
It was the bed at the head of the city that answered him, and the crossbow roared, nailing the thousands of households and horses that shouted to the ground The officials and soldiers under the city were silent, who didn't know that the north gate also fell into the hands of Wang Xian, Yang Rong hated the horse, gritted his teeth and said: "Go to the east gate" The 20,000 cavalry had no choice but to continue to circle the city, and after a while, they turned to the east gate, and happened to witness the scene of Wang Xian's army capturing the city and throwing the dragon banner of the imperial court off the city wall.
Yang Rong's face was pale, and he didn't stop, so he turned his horse and continued to circle the city, and took his subordinates to the south gate The defenders of the south gate were enthusiastic, beckoning them to come quickly, and lowered the drawbridge halfway in a pretend.
It's just that Yang Rong and the others have been played too many times, and they don't see the drawbridge completely put down, so they are willing to move forward Sure enough, the drawbridge no longer continued to fall, and the defenders at the head of the city sighed in disappointment.
"Still deceiving us" Seeing through the enemy's tricks, Yang Rong couldn't help but feel proud for a while.
"Smug fart" Yang Rong was pale, dignified and scholarly, and even dirty words popped out Left and right woke up suddenly, oops, how come the four gates of Tongzhou have been taken down here, how can it be so good "Ge Lao, why don't we go to the West Gate again" A subordinate suggested in a whisper, as if he felt that it was not satisfactory not to go around the city for a week.
Yang Rong didn't even have the strength to scold, and fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him 。
The nine gates of Beijing were closed, and it had entered a wartime state a few days ago.
Not surprisingly, rumors spread in the city, all kinds of proverbs and nursery rhymes circulated, and millions of soldiers and civilians were panicked, and the scene of the end was coming.
Naturally, the imperial court could not let the morale of the people be weakened, and tried its best to change people's hearts.
In addition to those useless mouthpieces, there are two major events that do play a role.
First, Yang Rong led 100,000 troops and 200,000 people to Tongzhou to transport grain.
Second, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally took command of the expedition and led 50,000 troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Wang Xian.
In order to encourage the people, the imperial court also held a grand departure ceremony, seeing His Royal Highness the Prince, who was dressed in gold armor, leading 50,000 male soldiers out of the city, the people of the capital did feel a little relieved.
Secret Dao: When the Duke of Zhenguo slaughters Zhu Zhanji, will he discourage himself and stop the army?
To this day, no matter how the imperial court publicizes, the common people have already decided that it was the prince and Yang Shiqi who forced Wang Xian to rebel.
Compared with the Zhenguo Gong who pacified the grassland, the common people seem to hate these two more But the first thing is really what everyone likes to see, there is food at home, there is no panic in the heart, there is food in the city, and the army and civilians are not panicking.
Seeing a cart of grain and grass being transported back to the capital, the people who welcomed them finally felt less panicked.
It's just that after a while, the follow-up grain trucks entered the city, and the people looked at each other, not knowing what happened again.
After a series of bad news, everyone became extremely pessimistic.
Sadly, it turns out that their pessimism is right After waiting for an hour, he finally waited for dozens of grain trucks to return to the city in a hurry, and then the city gate was slammed shut.
Although the officers and soldiers were secretive about the affairs outside the city, the news still spread through the mouths of the people, and the common people finally knew that Wang Xian had sent troops to cut off the passage for transporting grain That is to say, Wang Xian's army was dozens or more than ten miles outside the capital, no wonder the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they closed the city gate and sent the army to the city wall "It's over," the extremely disappointed people, no longer caring about any Dongchang secret agents, vented their emotions loudly: "Tongzhou's grain is something that I want to transport back to the capital."
"No," some people didn't believe it: "There is Yang Ge Lao's 100,000 army." ” "Top fart" countless voices retorted at the same time: "The two million army of the imperial court, it is not for the Zhenguo Gong to kill Yang Rong's 100,000 army in the capital in one go, and it is not enough to stuff his teeth between his teeth."
"That's it," more people said extremely pessimisticly: "Look, there is no need to wait until next year, the capital will be surnamed Wang" "No, it's less than a month before the Chinese New Year, how can such a big capital not last for a month?"
"Pull it down, hurry up and finish the count, and you can have a good life" There are definitely not a few people who hold this kind of argument: "Who is the emperor is not the emperor, what does it have to do with our people" "Also, I heard that in Shandong, the life of the common people is booming" As he spoke, the fear of the common people was actually eliminated a lot, and even many people were looking forward to Wang Xian ending the war quickly.
After all, they were too familiar with Wang Xian, after all, he was the hero who swept the Tartars, after all, Shandong under Wang Xian's rule was not too far from the capital In the final analysis, this is not an invasion of the same race, but a civil war of the same race, just like Zhu Di replaced Emperor Jianwen, and the common people did not have to live with him. 。
The ministers of the court and the central government could not be as indifferent as the common people, whether it was from the position of loyalty to the monarch or from the perspective of the reality of a son of heaven and a courtier, they could not accept Wang Xian to replace the Zhu family.
All the ministers gathered in the palace, anxiously waiting for the results of the battle outside the city.
Whether it is the direction of Daxing or the direction of Tongzhou, as long as there is good news, they can let go of their hanging hearts.
The ministers talked about the battle situation with sorrow, and from time to time they looked at the empty dragon chairs in the high places.
I heard that the emperor was very sick this time, and there was gossip that he was even terminally ill.

Could it be that the sky is really going to die, and the Zhu family can't succeed waited until dark, heard that the grain transport team had formed a formation to protect itself, Xu Huaiqing could not succeed in a sneak attack, and heard that Yang Rong personally went out of the city and organized an army of 90,000 to encircle and suppress Xu Huaiqing, and had surrounded him within a radius of more than ten miles.
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, went home to eat and sleep, and had the strength to continue to pestle in the palace in the future.
Early the next morning, the ministers really reunited in the palace, yawning one by one, their eyes were black, and they greeted each other with a wry smile.
"Lord Chen, I didn't sleep well."
"Hey, I have nightmares when I close my eyes, how can I sleep well."
"The dream is reversed, and it seems that there will be good news today."
"I hope so" They didn't have to wait long, and as soon as the sun rose, a messenger broke into the palace.
The messenger walked in front of Yang Shiqi and knelt on the ground to report: "Auxiliary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a military report" Yang Shiqi took it with a sinking face, took a deep breath, and opened the military newspaper.
All the princes and ministers held their breath, and when Yang Shiqi finished reading, he hurriedly asked, "Fu, what's the situation?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has joined Daxing's army, but there is no trace of Wang Xian, according to His Royal Highness's inference, Wang Xian should have gone to Tongzhou to rescue Xu Huaiqing."
Yang Shiqi didn't hide it, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has led the army and went north to Tongzhou." ” After speaking, Yang Shiqi hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace to report the latest situation to Emperor Hongxi, who was sick in bed.
"Haha" As soon as Yang Shiqi left, the ministers laughed happily: "Now the surname Wang has thrown himself into the net, and the 200,000 army surrounds him, and it is difficult to fly with wings":
