Pink Conspiracy

Vol 5 Chapter 168: One more

Xu Yunchu knocked on the leader's decree and quickly left the Jinluang Temple in accordance with the emperor's order. After a short time, he lit the beacon tower.

The beacon towers lit up one after another, and within half an hour, like a long dragon, circling in all directions, sending out emergency signals from the capital.

After Xu Yunchu left, Ye Chang ordered people to take out the defense plan of the capital, and in the Golden Palace, discussed with Su Che and the courtiers about the defense of the capital.

The capital only has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and all the mansions of each government are counted, which is only twenty-five thousand. For such a small number of soldiers and horses to resist eighty-nine thousand soldiers and horses, it is also three or four times less. If the eldest prince succeeds and seizes the soldiers and horses of the Beijing-based soldiers and horses, then nearly two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, also It is nearly ten times less.

With such a huge gap, how difficult is it to hold the capital?

The civil and military officials only hope that Liu Wen and Su Fengnuan can successfully seize the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldier and Horse Camp and undermine the plan of the prince. Then, the capital will be less distressed.

Ye Chang ordered Zheng Zhongwei to enter the palace.

Zheng Zhongwei took dozens of his staff to check the entire capital, but did not find the traces of the eighty to ninety thousand soldiers and horses. He was very shocked. When he did not know what to do, he heard that Ye Chang announced him to enter the palace. He immediately hurried. Into the palace.

The former eldest son of Prince Rong’an, today’s new emperor is the nine-fifth supreme.

The change of identity made Ye Chang's body faded from publicity and carelessness, and the whole person was full of the weight of the high mountains from the inside to the outside.

After Zheng Zhongwei went to the Golden Palace, he saw Ye Chang sitting on the dragon chair. He was taken aback for a while before he woke up, and immediately knelt down and bowed, "Long live the emperor!"

Ye Chang asked in a deep voice, "Zheng Zhongwei, can you check it? How many soldiers and horses are available in Beijing Central?"

Zheng Zhongwei hurriedly replied, "Back to the emperor, there are five thousand soldiers left in the Imperial Guard, five thousand soldiers and horses in the Five Cities, eight thousand in the Imperial Forest Army, and one thousand soldiers and horses in the palace."

Ye Chang nodded and said to Su Che, "Father-in-law, these nine thousand soldiers, I will use them for you. According to the countermeasures we discussed just now, within half an hour, deploy and deploy the four cities."

Su Che immediately bowed his hand, "The minister leads the order."

Ye Chang instructed Zheng Zhongwei, "Zheng Zhongwei cooperates with General Su, without error."

Zheng Zhongwei said immediately, "The minister takes the order."

Ye Chang waved his hand.

The two quickly left the Golden Palace.

After the two left, Ye Chang said to everyone, "You have worked so hard to return to the mansion as soon as possible, and call out the mansion guards. I will wait half an hour for you to gather at the gate of the palace for deployment and dispatch."

Everyone knows that the capital is now in a very critical time. Today, only half of the people who went to the Golden Palace after listening to the bells and drums were civil and military officials. The other half must have surrendered to the camp of the prince and the prime minister. This half of them surrendered to the new emperor. If the eldest prince led his troops to attack and return to the capital, then they would account for the lives of all those loyal to the imperial power in the golden palace. Therefore, in any case, the prince cannot be allowed to break through the capital.

As a result, everyone knocked their heads together and quickly left the Jinluang Temple.

After everyone left, there were only the Queen Mother, Queen, State Chief, Ye Patriarch, Wang Bachelor, and Ye Rui left in the Jinluan Temple.

Ye Chang said to Ye Rui, "You are responsible for guarding the palace, and I will give you the lives of several elders, and we must ensure their safety."

Ye Rui said, "The emperor can rest assured."

After making arrangements, Ye Chang walked outside the Golden Palace.

The queen mother quickly asked, "The emperor, where are you going?"

Ye Chang stopped and said, "Go to the gate of the palace and wait for the guards to gather, and I will dispatch myself."

The Queen Mother knew that the capital was in danger, so Ye Chang would naturally not stay in the palace waiting for the prince to attack the city. He was going to the city gate. Nodded, and said, "The emperor, you are a member of the people, be careful, don't worry about the Aijia and others."

Ye Chang nodded, "Don't worry about the Queen Mother."

In the residences of the ministers, the guards ranged from two to three hundred to four to five hundred, one after another came to the gate of the palace.

Xu Yunchu lit the beacon tower and entered the palace for resumption. When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw the guards dressed in different costumes from the court houses and Ye Shang standing in front of the palace gate.

Ye Chang stood at the gate of the palace, watching the people coming by Lu Lu, his complexion reflected by the torch, showing the chill of coldness.

Xu Yunchu stepped forward and bowed his hand to Ye Chang. He was not as casual and respectful as before, "The emperor."

Ye Chang looked at Xu Yunchu, "Are all the beacon towers lit?"

Xu Yunchu shook his head, "The beacon towers in the west, north, and south directions are all lit, but the beacon tower to the east is not lit. The minister is afraid that if the king of Xiangjun in the east gets the news, he will take advantage of the fire."

Ye Chang nodded, "Okay."

Xu Yunchu said, "Just now the government guard got news that there was movement ten miles to the east, and it seemed that a large number of soldiers and horses were coming to attack."

Ye Chang narrowed his eyes, "As expected, the eldest prince took the capital in turn."

Xu Yunchu said, "Since there are soldiers and horses to attack, does it mean that Liu Wen and the concubine did not get the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Army Camp?"

Ye Chang said, "Maybe."

Xu Yunchu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Ye Chang's eyebrows are deep, "Even if I don't get it, Nuan'er will be fine." The words fell, and said, "If I were the eldest prince, from the perspective of his plan to quickly seize the capital, he should be the main attacker of Xicheng. The movement came from the direction of the East City, presumably he used the tactic of slamming the West City. He wanted us to get the movement of the West City and immediately deployed heavy troops to the West City. As everyone knows, once the heavy troops are deployed, he will attack the city from the East City."

Xu Yun thought about it for the first time. As far as the defense of the four cities in the south, east, north and west is concerned, the terrain of the East City is not dominant, and it is considered the weakest. If the prince wants to quickly seize the city, the first choice is East City. But now, the movement is coming from the direction of East City. Although it is inferred from common sense and reasonable, but he is not sure that he is really relying on soldiers and horses, doing the opposite, forcibly taking the hardest defense of West City.

He said, "The emperor, I invite you to go to Xicheng."

Ye Chang said, "Don't be in a hurry. After all the soldiers are gathered, I will go to Xicheng with you."

Xu Yunchu nodded. He knew that even though the capital was in dire straits, Ye Chang would not hide in the palace waiting for someone to protect him even as the emperor.

Not long after, the guards and guards of the various palaces were gathered together. The guards and guards of dozens of mansions in the Rong'an Palace, Guozhang's Palace, Wang's Palace, Su's Palace, Li's Palace, etc., all gathered at the gate of the palace. After the count, there were more than 6,000. people.

Ye Chang turned on his horse, personally led the troops, and went to Xicheng with Xu Yunchu.

Su Che guarded the East City, holding the observation mirror, looking far away, ten miles away, the smoke was billowing, and the fire blazed into the sky. He couldn't help frowning. After looking for a moment, he said to Lieutenant Zheng on the side, "Lieutenant Zheng, you can find Chu Han quickly. Call him."

Lieutenant Zheng only saw the famous prince of Beiqiu today. From when he entered Beijing to be a proton, to leave the capital and return to Beiqiu, he never showed up in front of others. Today, he took the Royal Guard of Rong'an Palace and the Emperor's Qing Wuwei, and cooperated with Xu Yunchu's actions, and he could only be seen.

Today, Chu Han is patrolling the city.

Lieutenant Zheng should be, and quickly went to find Chuhan.

Not long after, Chu Han came to Xicheng and bowed to Su Che, "General Su."

Su Che handed the observation mirror to Chu Han, "Second prince, come and have a look. How do I feel that this is like a suspicious formation, not like a soldier and horse siege?"

Chu Han took the observation mirror, looked at it for a while, and said with certainty, "What the general said is true. If it is not unexpected, this is a tactic. Their purpose is to let us hear the movement and draw heavy troops to the east city. In fact, it is. We must attack Xicheng with heavy troops."

Su Che said, "You stay here, I will go to Xicheng."

Chu Han shook his head and stopped Su Che, "General, let me go!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and hurriedly rode towards Xicheng with people.

Su Che saw that Chu Han left without saying a word, he could only guard in the East City.

Not long after, the soldiers and horses in the direction of Dongcheng came to the front, and Su Che took a look through the looking glass. There were about 20,000 soldiers and horses, all with brooms tied to their tails. The billowing smoke and dust caused by this.

Even 20,000 soldiers and horses are not a small number for the meager soldiers and horses in the capital of Southern Qi today.

Su Che did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered people to be fortified.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses came to the city, and someone shouted "Siege", climbing wall ladders, climbing ropes, rolling chariots...not long before they shouted and killed.

Su Che commanded people to release arrows and smashed down the city wall with a rolling thunder stone.

There were four thousand soldiers and horses in the East City, but the number of 20,000 soldiers was still several times different. However, Su Che has gone through countless battles with less than more, dealing with such a disparate force, no more.

Not long after the East City attacked the city, there was a large number of soldiers and horses coming from the West City. The black and heavy soldiers and horses were real soldiers coming down the city.

Standing on the tower, Ye Chang and Xu Yunchu could feel the city wall trembling slightly with the sound of horse hooves coming from a large number of soldiers and horses.

Xu Yunchu said, "No less than 100,000 soldiers and horses."

Ye Chang nodded, "Yes."

Earlier, Su Che had deployed 10,000 soldiers and horses in the West City. Considering the total number of 19,000 remaining in the inner city, Xicheng had already deployed the largest number of soldiers and horses. Ye Chang brought more than 6,000 guards from each mansion. In this way, Xicheng had 16,000 soldiers and horses.

However, compared with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, there is still a disparity of several times.

The prince personally led the troops. After a large number of soldiers and horses came to the city, he saw Ye Chang standing on the wall. He held the reins of the horse and shouted, "Ye Chang, surrender!"

Ye Chang ignored him and stretched out his hand to the side, "Come with a bow and arrow!"

Someone quickly handed him the bow and arrow.

Ye Chang drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the prince.
