The formerly magnificent and spotless imperial palace now looks dilapidated and depressed. Fallen leaves everywhere, dust everywhere, dilapidated walls, everything is telling that this dynasty has come to an end, but Gongsun Zhongde's eyes have nothing The eunuchs outside the hall had already fled away, leaving only a handful of guards still guarding the last face of the royal family.
Gongsun Zhongde stood outside the main hall, his sonorous voice penetrated the gate of the main hall and entered the inner hall.
"My minister, Sun Zhongde, see you!"
Inside came the panicked voice of Emperor Gao Fu: "Gongsun Aiqing, please come in quickly!"
When Gongsun Zhongde heard the emperor's voice, he pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in. He walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground with one knee, clasped his fists in both hands, lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Mr. Gongsun Zhongde, I greet Your Majesty. , Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!"
"Gongsun Aiqing please get up quickly!" Gao Fu said quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" At this time, Gongsun Zhongde stood up and looked at his majesty, but saw Gao Fu's face was full of panic, even the dragon robe on his body was a little crooked, and he completely lost the dignity of an emperor. . Gongsun Zhongde sighed softly in his heart, but there was no slight change on his face.
"Gongsun Aiqing, tomorrow the rebels will come to capture the imperial city, what should I do?" Gao Fu asked repeatedly, his eyes full of eagerness and fear! What he was afraid of was not losing the throne, but losing his own life!
"Your Majesty don't have to worry, I have a plan to keep His Majesty safe, but" Gongsun Zhongde said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Gongsun Aiqing. If there is any way, tell me quickly!" Gao Fu was even more anxious when he heard this, as if he wished he could knock Gongsun Zhongde's mouth open.
"Hey, at ten o'clock in the evening today, I will open the gates of the city and let all the people out of the city. This is your Majesty's chance. You can disguise yourself as a commoner and go out of the city with the people. There are people outside the city. A carriage was prepared for His Majesty a long time ago, His Majesty got on the carriage and headed towards the east to break through. There are still 100,000 troops on our frontier in the east. With this 100,000 troops in hand, His Majesty can make a comeback. I will guard the imperial city and wait. His Majesty's return! It's just that you have wronged Your Majesty!" Gongsun Zhongde said clearly.
"What Aiqing is talking about is the 100,000 National Defense Army you told me about before?" Gao Fu said in surprise.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is this army. Originally, I wanted to use the 100,000 as a surprise soldier, but I didn't expect that the 100,000 would actually play a role." Gongsun Zhongde replied.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay, Aiqing really deserves to be the most important minister of the late emperor, and the imperial city will be handed over to you, Aiqing!" Gao Fu covered his mouth as if he saw his chic time in the frontier in the future Same.
"Minister obey the order!" Gongsun Zhongde hesitated, and then said.
Ten in the evening
Gongsun Zhongde looked at Gao Fu who was ready to pretend in front of him, sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty must be more careful this time, don't show your feet and be discovered by the rebels!"
Gao Fu nodded indifferently, but what Gongsun Zhongde didn't know was that Gao Fu was already fantasizing about the wonderful sound after he went to the frontier. When the time finally came, Gongsun Zhongde yelled: "Open the city!" Door!"
The four huge city gates fell in response, startling the rebel soldiers not far away. Watching the countless people running wildly, their faces showed embarrassment involuntarily. Just when everyone was in embarrassment, The messenger interspersed among the crowd and shouted: "My king is merciful. I will properly arrange all the victims who fled from the capital into one place. Don't worry, my king will definitely not harm innocent people!"
At this time, Wang Kang stood in front of the gate of the military account, looked up at Gongsun Zhongde standing on the city, and murmured with a smile: "Zhongde, you have taken my army! If you don't If I accept the citizens of the imperial city, my name of benevolence will completely disappear, and if I accept refugees, who can be sure that there are no spies of your Gongsun Zhongde among them!" Everyone stood behind Wang Kang flatteringly, with hypocrisy in their voices. Wang Kang looked at them with a smile, but he didn't have the slightest excitement. Instead, he recalled the person who stood on the court and scolded him just now. Gongsun Zhongde, why bother you kid? By the side of the Hunjun, you see, the only thing lacking in my court is you, a person who dares to die to admonish you! You and I have been brothers for more than ten years, don't you understand me? This is a loyal fool!
Standing on the city wall, Gongsun Zhongde watched all the people rush out of the city, clenched the treasured sword around his waist, and gave an order to close the four city gates, no one was allowed to go out, and the whole city was on guard, preparing for tomorrow's final battle !
At noon the next day, three cannons rang out, and the rebel army rushed towards the imperial city like a tide. Gongsun Zhongde immediately organized soldiers to defend, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. In just one hour, all four city gates fell. When Gongsun Zhongde was defeated and retreated to the palace, there were only 5,000 troops left around him. Gongsun Zhongde looked at the 5,000 brothers killed in the bloody battle in front of him, and shouted: "Brothers, today will be the happiest day in my life." Happy, the happiest day, because today, I will fight side by side with my brothers, one by one, on the bloody battlefield, and use my body to repay the country's great kindness! Yes, all of you heard it right, today will be my grandson Zhongde's final battle will also be a battle to the death. I have been fighting until my sword and armor are broken, and my bones are like a river. If any of you want to live, then put down your weapons, and I will never force you!" These five thousand Everyone's faces are so familiar to me, each of them is a soldier who followed me step by step out of the barracks, each of them is like my own brother, how can I have the heart to let them accompany me? Sending himself to die together, what he hopes at this time is that they can put down their weapons and survive!
But these five thousand people roared in unison: "I am willing to die with the general!" Everyone looked at Gongsun Zhongde, and their eyes were full of tears!
The roar spread throughout the entire battlefield, like the roar of the god of war, which shocked the rebels! Gongsun Zhongde looked at them and slowly closed his eyes to keep his tears from falling. Gongsun Zhongde sighed softly, adjusted his mood, opened his eyes suddenly, and roared: "Okay! Everyone! Brother, go out of the city with this general, let everyone see the last pride of our country's soldiers! Kill me!!!"
"kill!!!"
"kill!!!"
"kill!!!"
In front of 5,000 soldiers, the army tens of times or even hundreds of times in front of him did not flinch. In a moment, blood once again stained the imperial city red! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
