A petty official rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, the troops from Northern Xinjiang are approaching the city."

Sun Jue smiled bitterly, "As I expected, we are defeated! Where is the envoy? Invite him."

The clerk said: "The envoy said that it was all caused by the envoy. He will go back to Chang'an to report to Your Majesty."

"Bitch slave!" A military general couldn't help but cursed: "It's obviously his persecution!"

"Again, who will your Majesty believe?" Sun Jue said calmly.

Everyone just felt a sense of suffocation piling up in their chests, getting more and more swollen.

"Go and have a look."

Sun Jue stood up calmly and said, "Let's go."

He led everyone to the top of the city and saw thousands of Northern Xinjiang Army cavalry arrayed in order.

"It's not easy to attack."

The old thief pointed to the mountain wall, "There is a natural helper there, allowing the defenders to concentrate their forces on defense."

"Go and report to His Highness that there are thousands of defenders at the top of the city."

After Li Xuan learned the news, he said: "It's almost done."

"Attack."

The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army gathered after resting for a while.

…

"Yang Ni is coming."

The defenders at the top of the city were very nervous.

"I don't know what it is like for a young son who respects the emperor."

Puff puff puff!

The vibration came from far away.

A group of infantry walked out of the mist created by the drizzle, walking slowly and neatly.

They didn't even look at the garrison scouts ahead.

Puff puff puff!

It's getting closer step by step.

Someone among the scouts shouted: "Give them an arrow."

The brigade commander in front of the array suddenly raised his eyes and pointed at him.

"Kill him!"

Behind him, dozens of crossbows were raised.

Within a short distance, the dozen or so riders had nowhere to escape.

The mean-mouthed sergeant turned pale, "No!"

The brigade commander waved firmly.

"Fire the arrow!"

A wave of arrows passed by, and more than ten riders fell off their horses.

The array walked among the corpses.

No one took a second look at them.

This wave of indifferent killings chilled the bones of the defenders at the top of the city.

Behind him, an endless array of infantry followed.

The footsteps shook the ground, so much so that the hanging clouds shrank back like a frightened girl.

The city head gradually became clearer.

The infantry array approached the city.

Then a passage opened.

Ta-ta-ta!

Under a big flag, Li Xuan rode his horse down the passage.

When he arrived at the city, Han Ji beside him said: "Your Highness, I would like to go to the city to persuade you to surrender."

"You are too venomous, I am worried about being hanged. Your Highness, I would like to persuade you to surrender." The old thief wants to make new achievements.

Han Ji retorted, "You look too cunning and will only cause misunderstandings."

The old thief chuckled and said, "I know how to be angry."

Li Xuan shook his head, "Now that Gu is here, the defenders must either open the city gate now or attack immediately."

This is to be upright... everyone's heart is awe-inspiring.

Pei Jian raised his hand: "Shout!"

The infantrymen slapped their shields with the backs of their swords and shouted to the rhythm:

"Will you surrender or not?"

"Will you surrender or not?"

"Will you surrender or not?"

Amid the shouts, the defenders turned pale.

"It was very difficult for me to pass the imperial examination. I remember...it was the imperial examination presided over by Emperor Wu himself. After passing the test, I became an official in the northwest. I saw a lot of wind and sand, a lot of cattle and sheep, and a lot of unruly people.

I have served as an official in many places, but after all, Your Majesty asked me to return to Guanzhong."

Sun Jue smiled and said: "At that time, I swore to be loyal to Your Majesty and to add fuel to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. But not long after, I angered Your Majesty because of my advice and kindness to the prince, and was driven to Guanzhou."

"I know that the East Palace is taboo for the emperor, but I have a clear conscience. I can be said to be conscientious in Guanzhou, but I found that the power of the Tang Dynasty was declining. I wrote the memorial, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply."

"I have nothing to do, so I wonder why the Tang Dynasty has reached this stage."

"I think it's the administration of officials, but why is the administration of officials corrupt? It's all because the emperor regards official positions as a tool of checks and balances."

"I feel that the number of refugees is increasing day by day, but why is this happening? It's all because the emperor let go of land annexation, and the world's carnivores are like wolves and tigers, and the small people are suffering unspeakably."

"I feel that the government soldiers are incompetent, why are they incompetent? The fields have been annexed and no longer distributed. How can we cultivate and fight with the invincible tigers and beni?"

"In the final analysis, the emperor is stupid!"

Everyone in the city looked at Sun Jue in astonishment.

What are you doing?

Sun Jue looked at the big flag under the city and looked at Li Xuan.

"Can the Tang Dynasty be saved like this? I think it can!"

Sun Jue turned around and saluted in the direction of Chang'an, "This salute is to say goodbye to the emperor and his ministers."

He turned around and saluted Li Xuan under the banner, "This salute is for the Tang Dynasty." m

After Sun Jue saluted, he said: "Open the city gate and welcome His Highness into the city!"

The city gate slowly opened.

Sun Jue led the civil and military officials out of the city.

"Meet Your Highness."

Li Xuan dismounted and was surrounded by people walking over.

"stand up."

Sun Jue stood up.

"Why surrender?"

Li Xuan asked.

Bao Dong is preparing to record from behind.

Sun Jue said: "The Tang Dynasty is currently facing many crises. I believe that only His Highness, with his graceful appearance and martial arts, can rebuild the Tang Dynasty."

This flattery is pretty good.

Bao Dong felt that the wording was a bit mediocre.

The man behind Sun Jue raised his head and smiled at Li Xuan.

Isn't this the man who went to the camp to report the news?

Sun Jue said: "That is my entourage."

This person actually had the intention of surrendering.
To be continued...
