    Countless torches merged into flames, which seemed to paint the night sky in Bianliang with blood. In front of Xuande Gate, thousands of soldiers were like a violent sea tide!  Countless people were running and shouting, and people wearing civil robes were also giving commands like crazy. Countless arrows flew towards Xuande Tower, and the defenders of the city wall also erected the shields they had prepared long ago to protect them.  , the densely packed arrow shafts are like hedgehogs!  There were even more desperate rebels who erected dozens of large sideboards to protect another group of rebels who were carrying iron heads and banging against wood, and crashed into the tightly closed Xuandemen!  In front of Xuande Gate, which was as frantic as the tide, Geng Nanzhong tightly guarded Zhao Huan, standing on the cart, like a rock protruding from the tide, looked up to by all the troops.  Geng Nanzhong may not have such a glorious and majestic image in this life!  This old Master Geng has always shown himself to be a strict and upright person.  However, he was a man who was extremely enthusiastic about his official career. He had only entered the official career not long ago. It turned out that he was the attendant of Zhao Kai, the three great kings, and his master-disciple status was established.  However, after Zhao Huan became popular, he worked hard to work for the prince and became the prince's division from then on.  When he turned around, he treated the original student with contempt in every possible way.  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, Zhao Ji was the successor to the Zen position and Zhao Huan.  Zhao Ji originally had a certain degree of influence. The veteran generals could not be controlled by Zhao Huanchu when he took over. Zhao Ji still needed to exert his influence to make these veteran generals obey the central dispatch.  At least it serves as a sign.  ¡°But Geng Nanzhong actively launched a coup at the time of the national crisis and imprisoned Zhao Ji in Longde Palace.  The Jurchens suppressed the country and destroyed Hebei and Hedong. The father and son in the palace still fought with each other. How many people's hearts were chilled?  The authority of the central government has plummeted since then.  Geng Nanzhong assisted Zhao Huan.  Weifu is self-proclaimed.  This center not only destroyed many soldiers and horses.  After the failed counterattack on Taiyuan, Geng Nanzhong also took the initiative to dismiss the rebels by signing a letter to the Privy Council, hoping to cede more land to the people in exchange for another peace negotiation with the Jurchens.  Such a center, such a king.  During the second siege of Bianliang, not many of King Qin's troops came to help.  Of course, the reason for this was that the army that could fight was basically exhausted, but also because the patriots in Hebei and Beijing were disheartened and did not want to gather more righteous troops to become the emperor.  This central authority is working hard!  In the end, Bianliang City had to rely on Guo Jing's Six Ding Liujia magic soldiers to defend it.  Although Guo Jing was ridiculous, he was still a man. When the Six Ding Liujia magic soldiers dispersed, Guo Jing still fought hard and died.  But after Geng Nazhong ruined Zhao Huan, whom he had been assisting, he still looked down upon Zhang Bangchang's fake Chu and asked for an official position!  Such a person could not stay in the puppet Chu capital, so he fled back to the Zhao Gou court in the south of the Yangtze River, and then he was denounced all the way.  Such a criminal official of the country, although he was depressed in the end.  But it ended well.  The Great Song Dynasty treated scholar-bureaucrats favorably, which was true for hundreds of years in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties.  The favor goes to the dog!  ¡°Under his sanctimonious appearance, this person really does not care about anything for the sake of power.  Xiao Yan's second palace change in February ousted Geng Nazhong from power and spared his life.  But for Geng Nanzhong, this is countless times more than the hatred of killing his father and taking away his wife!  Finally waiting for this opportunity tonight, what else does Geng Nanzhong care about?  It's nothing more than fighting to the end with Xiao Thief with red eyes!  Geng Nanzhong held the sword in one hand and grabbed Zhao Huan's arm with the other hand, firmly holding him under the glorious image of the prince before.  He only saw the rebels at Xuandemen, so he naturally didn't notice that it was Zhao Huan who was holding Geng Nazhong's arm tightly and begging repeatedly: "Master Geng, Master Geng! I have to escape from the catastrophe. Now I finally have a chance, I just want to leave."  Forget it! Otherwise, Xiao Thief has planned this situation so hard that he will kill us all! Master Geng, I have always entrusted you with everything. At this time, Rong Gu only has one way to survive!" Geng Nanzhong looked back and stared with wide eyes.  Zhao Huan's eyes were bloodshot, and Zhao Huan's legs were so frightened that they became weak again.  "Today, I will help the crown prince enter the prison, depose the false lord, welcome the crown prince, and make the crown prince the new king! At this moment, the Xiao thieves have retreated. It is when people's hearts are burning, how can we  Are you retreating at this moment? There are only hundreds of Xiao thieves, but there are more than thousands of righteous teachers in front of Xuande Tower. Please don¡¯t say this again, and watch me accomplish great things for the prince!¡± Geng Nanzhong¡¯s vicious words stopped Zhao.  Huan couldn't say anything anymore.  He was still clutching Geng Nanzhong's arm, and suddenly, two lines of tears rolled down his face, and he murmured to himself: "I will only follow you, only follow you, and I just ask that I don't harm you!" Sad appearance, but there are loyal ministers and righteous men.  Here, it can make people cry.  However, in the so-called history, Zhao Huan, who took the blame for his father, is also a sinner on the pillar of shame in history.  After the first rescue of Bianliang, Zhao Huan still had a chance to reorganize the country.  But it was this prince who, before taking over the throne, had endured simplicity and gained publicity, as if he was the hope of the world.  After he succeeded to the throne, he imprisoned his father and Longde Palace and drove his brothers to die in the Jurchen camp.  As a result, the Song Dynasty became disengaged and randomly directed the counterattack on Taiyuan, ruining its elite soldiers and generals.  After the failure, they became timid and dispersed the rebels, preparing to cede more land and seek peace with the Jurchens.  Facing such a useless opponent, the Jurchens were too lazy to wait for them to give away little by little, so they simply killed them again and took it for themselves.  Zhao ?He was captured and sent to Five Kingdoms City for the Jurchens. His wife, daughter and sisters were also tortured and abused by the Jurchens, but he persisted longer than his father, living for more than twenty years!  On both sides of the Huaihe River, it borders Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang.  Countless Han men risked their lives to defend the remains of Han civilization in the south of the Yangtze River, used their lives to wash away the shame of Jingkang, and shouted the slogan of going straight to Huanglong to welcome back the Second Saint.  Zhao Huan, one of the two saints, was regarded as the enemy of the Bohai County Duke. However, when there was a Jurchen gathering, he was included in the class and was played by the Jurchen nobles!  More than a hundred years later, the Southern Song Dynasty finally fell.  When Wen Tianxiang made his final resistance and was captured and sent to Dadu, the last emperor of the Zhao family came to persuade Wen Tianxiang to surrender to Mongolia!  How can the world fail to the Zhao family?  Only the Zhao family can take down the world!  When Geng Nanzhong insisted on going his own way and Zhao Huan could only cry weakly, the frantic rebel army broke through the arrow rain of the defenders on the city wall, hit the wood with iron heads, and finally hit Xuande Gate.  There was a loud noise, the two palace doors trembled, and dust fell.  But thousands of rebel soldiers just shouted in unison!  It seems that in the next moment, they will rush into the Xuande Gate, capture Xiao Yan, and help the prince to be in his rightful place. From then on, people like them will have great wealth!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And on the city wall  Above, Zhang Xian braved the rain of arrows and looked down.  Turn around.  Standing quietly facing Xuande downstairs.  He looked coldly and bowed to Xiao Yan, who was in a frenzy of rebellion under the city.  "King Yan, these birds and horses are of little use. They use side cards to cover both sides, but the top of their head is in the middle of nowhere. They don't have the strength to hit wood with them. As long as a team of archers are pressed above their heads, they can scatter these gangs.  You bastards, at this time, they didn¡¯t even think of setting fire to them. It¡¯s really a disgrace to our old Shenwu Changsheng Army!¡± Zhang Xian was so dissatisfied.  The defenders on the city wall only felt that the boss was impatient.  Although the frequency of firing arrows is slightly faster than before, it is still far from the level of a fierce battle.  Every time I poke out the arrow from the side card, I still have time to be intimate with each other slowly.  These old soldiers looked in the direction of Xiao Yan from time to time, feeling that the boss was not satisfied. When will King Yan give the order for us to fight happily?  Xiao Yan smiled before he could say anything when he saw dots of firelight suddenly shoot into the night sky from below, and then swoop towards the front of Xuande Tower.  Zhang Xian seemed to have a bit of a crow's mouth tonight, so he said that the rebels didn't know how to set fire.  I don't know which team among the rebels suddenly had a flash of inspiration.  After finding the rockets, they started firing at Xuande Tower towering into the night sky!  The rockets in the army during the Song Dynasty had their own shape.  It is a bit like the pear flower gun that later became famous in Hebei Li Quanhong's coat army.  It's just a fire tube that looks like a firework tied to the arrow shaft, lit and shot towards the target.  After landing, sparks splashed randomly, mixed with saltpetre and sulfur, and the fire started very quickly.  At this time, hundreds of rockets soared into the sky, the fire tubes on the arrow shafts sprayed out wildly, and the trees and silver flowers were flying all over the sky. It was quite a spectacular sight.  The weight of the rocket was not very balanced. It was rare for anyone not to be a veteran in the military to shoot far. A lot of wine fell on the way and fell on the rebels who were desperately banging on the door. Sparks flew everywhere and burned them.  Yelling, there was a moment of confusion.  However, many of them fell on Xuande Tower, causing sparks to fly, and the fire tube burned until it was pure nitrate and sulfur, bursting out into flames one after another.  The Xuande Tower was not originally a watchtower built purely for war like those in the imperial city along the border. It was painted magnificently, and it caught fire in more than ten places at once. The flames spread and the flames spewed out, causing the troops below the city to riot again.  Huge cheers and shouts!  Such a scene made Zhang Xian, who had looked down on the rebels just now, feel that his face was greatly damaged. In the blazing fire, Zhang Xian just hugged Xiao Yan and said, "Straight mother-in-law, let these rebels bully us!  King Yan, please go out and fight for a while, let them know how powerful we are!" The fire started to light up a wider area.  In addition to the one or two hundred defenders on the city wall where Xiao Yan was standing, there were soldiers on duty everywhere on the entire imperial city wall. There was one at thirty or fifty steps, silently monitoring the imperial city.  Movements everywhere.  If the rebel army mobilizes troops to attack other places, a warning response can be issued immediately.  In addition to them, inside Xuande Gate, which was severely hit, there was a group of nearly two hundred soldiers, wearing Qingtang armor and iron masks, like an iron tower.  The horses are also covered in armor, like steel beasts.  There were shouts and shouts outside, and Xuandemen could not help but tremble after being hit. However, this heavy cavalry did not even make a sound, just waiting silently.  If Zhang Xian led this group of troops to charge out, he would be able to push back the rebels hundreds of steps and drive them into chaos all over the city!  But Xiao Yan wants more than that.  We cannot allow these rebel armies and these gathered civil and military officials to disperse to various places outside Bianliang, using various banners of King Qin, and destroy this empire.Teared to pieces.  He can only be trapped in Bianliang Hedong and other places. While fighting against the Jurchens, he also has to deal with their attacks one after another.  They must be captured in one fell swoop, they must be frightened to the point where they have no thought of resistance, and they must be subdued from all angles!  With two emperors in hand, the more violent their attacks on the ban, the better.  In this way, my righteous status becomes more and more secure!  And every time he dragged them firmly in front of the imperial city, his thousands of troops would get closer to Bianliang City!  Xiao Yan waved his hand gently and rejected Zhang Xian's proposal.  Jin Zhangxian could only accompany Xiao Yan with his head downcast, watching everything around him vigilantly.  Xuande Tower was already burning fiercely, with flames spewing out in all directions, making crackling noises everywhere, and the flames even reached the Bianliang Imperial City.  Illuminate brightly.  And Xiao Yan just pressed his sword and walked around for a few steps in front of the burning Xuande Building.  The firelight only made his figure stand taller and taller.  My army.  Is it time to come?     at this time.  I hope there won't be any smart people who praise Zhao Huan and leave. If he slips through the net, this will be the biggest flaw in his plan to shake up the situation in the Song Dynasty!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~ When the Xuande Tower was ablaze, the rebels below the city were excited to the most fanatical level.  Cai Jing's team of carriages and horses finally arrived in a hurry.  In front of Xuande Tower, there was already a scene of extreme chaos.  The crowd gathered together and bumped around, everyone was shouting and shouting, their voices were hoarse and they had no idea what they were shouting.  How many scholars are there?  At this time, they were also very excited, dancing and dancing wildly with swords and long knives, as if these thousands of rebel troops were driving them.  Even the civil servants who had been swarmed and cowering to watch couldn't help but jump out at this time, or rushed to the side of Geng Nanzhong and Zhao Huan, drew their swords and held them as if they were loyal protectors, or grabbed a group of random soldiers.  The military company shouted and shouted, trying to catch some soldiers and horses and get their own share of this great achievement.  All kinds of promises were made to the rebels for a while.  I don¡¯t know how many people shouted out.  These noisy crowds blocked the roads everywhere.  Let Cai Jing and others arrive late.  The passage became more and more difficult.  Zhang Qi led his men in front, kicking, beating, cursing and shouting. They tried their best and managed to squeeze to the west edge of the huge square in front of Xuande Gate.  Looking from a distance, there are surging heads and undulating jungles of weapons. Going further, I don¡¯t know how difficult it will be.  When Zhang Qi was at a loss what to do, He Li suddenly squeezed in from behind and said loudly: "I call you husband in unison!" Zhang Qi was stunned and then realized what he could do. He tried his best to open a way all the way over. He was so dizzy. How could this happen?  Have you forgotten that there is such a great god behind you?  Suddenly, Zhang Qi took the lead, and all the soldiers opened their throats. So many servants of the Cai family, so many heroes from the market, and those who joined the team on the way, all shouted loudly.  "Husband is here!" Hundreds of men, shouting at the top of their lungs, finally overcame the chaos of the whole place, and countless people looked here.  Cai Jing stood on top of the cart, and a butter torch was lit beside the cart, illuminating his figure clearly.  Thousands of hedgehogs gathered in front of Xuande Gate, and the chaotic crowd broke out into a huge cheer.  "My husband is here, and everything is settled!" Cai Jing's reputation is unparalleled by Geng Nanzhong.  Whether it was the rebel army or the many civil servants who were pushed out tonight, Cai Jing never showed up and always felt a little uneasy.  At this moment, Cai Jing finally arrived, as if tonight's chaos was complete!  ??Cai Jing has been ups and downs in the court, and has been ups and downs for decades.  People just believe that this husband will always make the right choice!  His coming forward means that this mess will be won!  The crowds of people moved out of the way to let Cai Jing, who was closely guarded by Zhang Qi and others, pass.  Along the way, civil servants bowed to each other and the rebels bowed down.  Cai Jing did not even look at Xuande Tower, which was now burning like a torch. He just urged the carriages and horses to go in the direction of Geng Nanzhong and Zhao Huan.  In a short while, Cai Jing was already approaching.  Geng Nanzhong still blocked Zhao Huan behind him, looked at Cai Jing with a livid face, and said coldly: "Xiang Cai, are you here to pay homage to the new king? Why is it too late? The war here is about to be decided, so Xiang Cai rushed there anyway.  Kaifeng Mansion is personally in charge, and with the prestige of Prime Minister Cai, he can win over the hearts of Bianliang people after the chaos. The new monarch has high hopes for Prime Minister Cai I am still in charge of the war, so I can't ask Prime Minister Cai for advice. In urgent matters, please obey the authority.  After Cai Xiangwu pays homage to the new king, go quickly!" The rebel generals and officials surrounding Geng Nanzhong and Zhao Huan's carriage fell silent for a moment.  Is Geng Nanzhong going to fight for power now?    Now, the rebel army was at his disposal for a while, and Geng Nanzhong even took charge of the overall situation at the most critical moment to support the crown prince.  He is also qualified enough to compete with Cai Jing.  Where should everyone place their bets now?  Cai Jing glanced at Geng Nazhong with a sneer, suddenly pointed his halberd at Geng Nazhong, and shouted: "I am dead before my eyes, and I don't even know it yet! I am here to serve the new king and grab the last way to live! Geng Nazhong!"  Nan Zhong, you and I get out of the way!¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ When there was chaos in front of Xuande Gate, in the darkness in the north of Bianliang City, the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded again.  The people of Bianliang living scattered outside the city just complained in their hearts.  The city is already in chaos, who else is coming now?  Doesn't Zhemo want to plunge the entire Bianliang into a sea of ??fire?  The sound of horse hooves is getting louder and louder, like thunder rolling, and the whole earth is shaking slightly!  In the darkness, endless knights surged out, and both men and horses were sweating profusely.  Not far away in front of them was the sky above Bianliang City that was already lit by fire.  Under the blood-colored night sky, Bianliang City is so majestic and vast. Even if the incoming soldiers are still more than ten miles away, Bianliang City has already occupied the entire sight!  The man who looked like a general just took a breath of cold air: "Zhi Niang, this capital city is so big! We have always heard about it in Yandi, and now we see it, it's not in vain!" Then he yelled  He shouted an order: "We are commanding to go around the city and block the south gate! No one can escape in Bianliang City! The Zhi Niang thief has to hurry up. If Wangshan is a dead horse, there is still a long way to go.  Hurry!¡± The soldiers behind him responded loudly: ¡°I will obey my orders!¡± Under the firelight, the shape of the army and horses became more and more clear, and they turned out to be boundless, like a rushing steel tide, and in the darkness behind,  I don¡¯t know how many people there are!  It¡¯s like thousands of horses galloping!  (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
