Perhaps because of the inertia of the body, Ji Ling's body was still moving forward, but his head had fallen from his neck.

The headless corpse continued to walk forward a few steps, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and then pounced forward. The head rolled on the ground for a few times, then stopped moving.

Ji Ling's eyes were still wide open, his eyes were calm, as if he had not expected something to happen.

Of course, it was also the end without saying a word.

At this time, there were only five or six people in the room. In addition to Yang Hong and Yuan Yao, there were several clerks responsible for organizing the documents.

This scene happened so suddenly that after Qiao Rui killed Ji Ling with a knife, they didn't react. Looking at Ji Ling's corpse and Qiao Rui with a knife, their faces were full of astonishment, as if this scene was not terrible, but strange.

Qiao Rui picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him and waved his hand and broke it. Using this as a signal, a scream suddenly sounded outside the house. Several sword-holding soldiers suddenly rushed into the house and killed the four clerks one by one.

Qiao Rui's face was very ferocious, and he quickly stepped forward and kicked Yuan Yao, who was frightened, to the ground. Before Yang Hong could react, he was pushed to the ground by two soldiers.

Yuan Yao screamed and was pressed against Qiao Rui's neck with a knife. He couldn't even say a word of fear, while Yang Hong yelled and asked Qiao Rui what he was going to do.

"Are you going to rebel? Are you going to rebel?!"

"I just want to rebel!"

Qiao Rui roared at Yang Hong, which stunned Yang Hong.

"Mr. Yang, please see the situation clearly! Shouchun cannot be defended! Chen State is destined to perish! Yuan Gonglu wants to bring me to him for burial, don't think about it! General Lu is so loyal and ends up like that. Do you think I will still be so stupid to work for him?!"

Qiao Rui said as if he was venting his anger, he kicked Yuan Yao a few times, and screamed.

"This idiot knows nothing, he just knows that he is commanding randomly, and there is only one waste, and he dares to point fingers! Is marching and fighting a war a joke?!"

"Stop! Don't do this! Stop!"

Yang Hong looked at Yuan Yao being kicked, his eyes were ripped, but he was pressed down by two soldiers and could not move.

"Qiao Rui! You are an unfaithful person! You actually betray Your Majesty! You betray the State of Chen!"

"It was him who betrayed the great man first! I am a Han general, I am not a rebel general! I am just returning to the great man! You are the traitor!"

Qiao Rui pointed outside: "We were surprised and prepared. Once you captured you, someone would immediately cooperate with me to open the city gate and welcome the Han King's Army into the city! Tonight, it will be the end of Yuan Highway! It will be the end of Chen State!"

"Qiao Rui! You...you actually..."

Yang Hong was so angry that he vomited blood and lay on the ground and fainted, unconscious.

Yuan Yao, the soft egg, shrank all over and curled up on the ground, and he knew he was crying.

Qiao Rui took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it. When he turned around, he saw Ji Ling's head that fell to the ground and his eyes that had lost his focal length.

"Don't blame me."

He murmured to himself.

Everything was as Qiao Rui said, spies appeared inside the command center.

Qiao Rui used his identity to destroy the command center in one fell swoop, and then raised the fire as a sign to let Feng Guo, who was responsible for opening the city gate, see it.

Feng Guo saw the signal and was overjoyed. With a command, the mutiny began.

The soldiers involved in the mutiny suddenly pulled out their swords and slashed at the "comrades" beside them. The soldiers beside them couldn't react and were killed in an instant. There was chaos on the city gate and at the city gate.

Soon, Feng Guo, who had already planned, seized the east gate with absolute advantage and immediately sent someone to open the city gate, lower the suspension bridge, and then raise the fire as a sign.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Guo Lie, who had already formed a formation in the camp under the cover of the night, noticed the fire at the top of the city.

This is the opportunity.

"rush!"

"action!"

Zhao Yun and Guo Lie issued an order to advance at the same time. The two of them led a cavalry to rush towards the city gate, and the violent momentum broke through the already uneasy night.

Behind Zhao Yun and Guo Lie were the infantry led by Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan, who followed Zhao Yun and Guo Lie and rushed towards the East City Gate.

The defense line of Shouchun City was broken.

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know about this. There was an imperial city across the city gate from the palace. Yuan Shu established the capital of Shouchun and sent people to increase the height and reinforce it to the imperial city based on the original inner city.

The outer wall is a section of garrison, while the inner imperial city is another section of garrison. There are several towers in the imperial city. The one guarding the imperial city is Yuan Shu's Yulin Army, with a number of about 3,000. They are all composed of veterans who followed Yuan Shu to fight south and north. Naturally, the elite level is not comparable to that of militia.

In addition, there is also the Hu Ben Army. The number of the Hu Ben Army is about 2,000 people, and the treatment is the same as that of the Yulin Army. However, because the Hu Ben Army was the emperor's personal soldiers selected from the army after Yuan Shu became emperor, the degree of closeness is not as good as that of the Yulin Army.

This 5,000-man army is Yuan Shu's last lifeblood.

When the Northern Expedition went on, five thousand elite troops followed him back three thousand.

This time, because the troops were too tight, Lu Mian drew 1,000 people out. After Lu Mian was taken down, Yuan Yao guarded the city. In order to protect his safety, Yuan Shu drew 200 Yulin Army to protect Yuan Yao.

As a result, due to the tense war, the elites of the Yulin Army and the Huben Army were pulled up to defend the city. Lu Mian and Yuan Yao did not have strong guard forces around him, which gave Qiao Rui a chance to kill with one blow.

Currently, Yuan Shu lives in the deep palace, with only 1,800 guards left by his side. Together with shifts of guards and eunuchs, there are only about 2,500 troops able to guard the imperial city.

When Zhao Yun and Guo Lie's cavalry rushed into the city and killed everyone, Yuan Shu was still taking medicine and drinking porridge with the service of two nobles.

The imperial doctor suggested that Yuan Shu use light porridge to maintain health and nourish the body slowly, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Yuan Shu also knew that the body was important and did not dare to violate the doctor's advice, so he would patiently take medicine and drink porridge.

I asked about the war outside once a day, and I spent the rest of my time lying in bed to rest. Not to mention whether I could fall asleep, at least I would be good to lie down and close my eyes and rest.

After taking the medicine and drinking the porridge, Yuan Shu was preparing to rest under the service of the noble man. As a result, he heard a vague noise. Just as he felt strange, someone hurried to give back, saying that an extremely fierce battle broke out at the gate of Dongcheng City.

Someone opened the gate of Dongcheng, and Guo Peng's army had already entered the city and began to rage!

Yuan Shu was stunned on the spot. Two noble men held a plate in their hands. After hearing this, they loosened their hands and fell to the ground, and the exquisite jade bowl broke.

"How could this happen? What happened? Why did someone open the city gate?!"
