When the world is in chaos, the most joyful and contradictory person is the general with the heavy army.

Someone is plotting rebellion, and it is overwhelming. This shows the weakness of the dynasty. Do you want to rebel? Do you want to be a loyal minister?

If the majesty of the dynasty still exists, there is no harm in being a loyal minister.

But this country is like a broken house, which can be knocked down with one kick.

Can't we build a new house by ourselves? This idea is called ambition.

This is how Shi Gongming's ambition arose.

He felt that he had a large army and that Shi Zhongtang and Li Xuan would definitely have a war that would last for many years.

In this way, he can take the opportunity to develop in a vulgar way.

The abacus was good, but what he didn't expect was that the development of the situation made him dizzy.

The emperor ran away and Shi Zhongtang occupied Guanzhong. The situation tilted towards the rebels in southern Xinjiang.

Then the Northern Xinjiang Army attacked, defeated Lizhou, and the two armies faced off. The drama began.

Shi Gongming was full of joy at that time, waiting for the two armies to start a battle, which would continue endlessly.

As a result, Li Xuan raided his army and captured Daizhou.

What was even more unexpected was that Shi Zhongtang was defeated in the first battle... What was even worse was that the Jiagu Pass was lost.

Shi Zhongtang fled south and turned from a warlord who controlled most of the world into a rebel in southern Xinjiang.

But Shi Gongming was sitting on wax.

The Northern Xinjiang army who defeated the Southern Xinjiang rebels licked his lips and looked around. He prayed every night, praying for God's blessing to allow the Northern Xinjiang army to go south and fight Shi Zhongtang.

In this way, he still has a glimmer of hope. What if Shi Zhongtang Xianyu turns over? Then the situation will be lively.

But these all turned out to be a dream.

Looking at the army below the city, Xie Zhong whispered: "Mr. Sir, the morale of the soldiers is not high."

Shi Gongming saw it.

Deguang City was destroyed in one day, which severely affected the morale of the defenders. Moreover, Shi Gongming was now a rebel!

If he can unify the world, he will be the founding monarch of the new dynasty. If he fails, he will be a rebel.

This is what a successful king and a defeated bandit look like.

"Aye, otherwise, just say that Li Xuan won't accept the surrender!" Shi Jian whispered. Shi Gongming glanced at his son and said sadly: "Can't he shout?

"Surrender or not?" The people in the city were shouting at this moment.

The sound of the shield being struck was very powerful. "Will you surrender or not?"

"Surrender or not?" The defender's face turned pale. "Heavy reward!" Shi Jian said. Shi Gongming nodded. The money was brought and piled up on the top of the city.

"The army led by King Shang is on the way. It only takes five days to defeat the Northern Xinjiang army. You can take the money yourself!"

Shi Gongming spent a lot of money, opened his private treasury, and brought in all the treasures of the Jiedushi government.

Copper coins piled up like mountains.

The wooden box was filled with gold and silver, sparkling in the autumn sun. The defender's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, money moves people's hearts."

Xie Zhong whispered: "There is still a chance." "Siege the city!"

The Northern Xinjiang Army is advancing slowly. The crossbow carts are advancing in rows. The trebuchets are in place. The crossbowmen are in place. The death camp is in place. The heaven and earth are silent. "Let go!"

The swing arm of the trebuchet swung violently. The stones flew up to the top of the city with a roar. Bang!

There is a pool of blood on the top of the city. Boom!

The stones that hit the city wall rebounded and fell, but the city head was shaken. "Fire the arrow!"

The crossbow cart was launched, and the crossbow guns flew up to the top of the city.

Xie Zhong heard the miserable howl, and when he looked back, a sergeant was pierced by a crossbow and flew backwards.

The casualties caused by the crossbow are not many, but they are breathtaking. "Fire arrows!"

The black cloud of crossbow arrows came. "Shield!"

The shouts of the generals at the top of the city were a little weak. "Attack!"

The death battalion was dispatched.

Huizhou City is a fortified city, so everyone thought it would be difficult to attack at first.

.Only Li Xuan is different.

The first wave of offensive did not go well. The defenders were very fierce and drove down the death camp.

"It's interesting." Li Xuan said lightly.

A team of scouts came to report, "Your Highness, we have found traces of the rebels in southern Xinjiang. They are all cavalry and are heading towards Huizhou."

"Shi Zhongtang really wants to rescue Shi Gongming." Jiang Cunzhong said: "Your Highness, I am willing to intercept the rebels."

"There's no rush." ​​Li Xuan looked at the city and said, "Maybe there's no need to stop it."

At noon, call for gold and withdraw the troops.

Li Xuan called Suo Yun and asked about the situation of the defenders.

"The morale is quite high." Suo Yun said: "The brothers who climbed to the top of the city even saw the money falling from the arms of the rebels who died in battle."

"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food!"

Li Xuan understood Shi Gongming's methods.

"The morale driven by profit will not last long!" Li Xuan was in a good mood and ate an extra piece of cake for lunch. After the meal, he took a walk to eat, and Yang Lue accompanied him.

"Someone recently asked me to inquire..."

"What are you asking? What is the purpose of ruling the world alone?" Li Xuan asked with a smile. "Yes!" Yang Lue said, "I don't know either."

"They know it and you don't, they are just using it to get closer to you." Li Xuan saw these methods clearly, and He Lianyan also reported them.

Although he did not need to use the Jin Yiwei to monitor the officials, the Jin Yiwei almost instinctively collected information in this regard.

The results are remarkable.

"I seem to be getting further and further away from my ministers." Li Xuan said mockingly, "Gradually, I have become a loner."

"This is the only way." Yang Lue said, "It is inappropriate for the emperor and his ministers to be too close."

"I know it alone."

Li Xuan turned around and said, "Go back."

Returning to the central army, Wang Laoer was happily talking to the old thief about the interesting story of capturing a scout. When he saw Li Xuan, he eagerly handed over a piece of dried meat, "Your Highness, this is the dried meat made by my wife.

"

Li Xuan took it and took a bite. Damn it!

I almost broke Gu's teeth.

Li Xuan saw Wang Laoer eagerly waiting for his evaluation, then slowly chewed a few times and swallowed the whole piece, "It's delicious!"

"I just said it tastes delicious! But the old thief said it's hard to chew off." Wang Laoer smiled.

Tu Chang glanced at King Qin with sympathetic eyes, and then subconsciously

- Touching his cheek, his big teeth were a little sore.

Yang Lue suddenly smiled and said to He Cong: "With Wang Lao Er here, it will be difficult for Your Highness to be alone!"

"The morale of the soldiers is high!" Shi Jian was very happy.

Shi Gongming had just finished eating and was a little full at the moment. He stood up and walked slowly, folded his hands and rubbed his abdomen, and said: "The rangers in Chang'an often kill people for money and then abscond. Those are rangers, and sergeants are better than rangers.

If you are even more ignorant, you only need to lure them with benefits, and you will naturally be brave and not afraid of death."

"Shi Zhongtang's reinforcements will not last more than five days!" Shi Gongming said firmly: "He knows the consequences of the fall of Eastern Xinjiang."

"Five days is no problem!" Shi Jian was confident. The father and son smiled at each other.

I just feel like there’s a glimmer of light in front of my eyes. It’s so rare!

From the day Daizhou was defeated, the father and son never really laughed.

"The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."

In the afternoon, the offensive of the Northern Xinjiang Army became more and more sharp. There were even monks who suddenly broke out among the death camps attacking the city. If Xie Zhong hadn't been able to arrive in time with the reserve team, this day would have been impossible.

In the subsequent offensive and defensive battles, the defenders gradually lost ground.

Shi Gongming couldn't believe that his subordinates could be so powerless. He roared and led his reserve troops around, kicking and beating the butts of his generals and threatening them.

When the setting sun shone on the top of the city, the sound of gold was heard, and the death camp retreated calmly.

There were corpses everywhere on the city wall, and the city walls were damaged in many places.
