    The garrison inside the palace mainly relies on the left and right guards.  At this time, the left and right preparations were not an independent organization and were subordinate to the left and right leaders and left and right mansions. However, the generals who commanded the left and right preparations had appeared.

    The current prepared generals are Cui Peng and Li Cao, Yang Jian's trusted generals.  Cui Peng was Yang Jian's confidant. He had been in the province for more than 20 years. Whenever he was in battle or sitting in danger all day long, he never showed signs of laziness.  Li Cao was the son of Li Wei, the general manager of Shuozhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the younger brother of Li An, the grandson of Li Hu, and the uncle of Li Xiaogong, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty (the youngest son of Li An).  Brothers Li An and Li Cao had been Yang Jian's confidants since the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When Yang Jian was murdered by King Zhao of Zhou Dynasty, the two brothers killed their relatives and served the country.  Later, the two brothers were in charge of the same army, which was also very rare in history.  Li An's son Qiong and Li Cao's son Wei were raised in the palace from infancy until they were eight or nine years old when they were ordered to return home.

    Logically speaking, it is actually more appropriate for Queen Dugu to come to Cui Peng and Li Cao first, because these two people are loyal to Yang Jian and closest to the rebellion.

    But now people¡¯s hearts are unpredictable, who knows whether the two of them can be trusted.  Moreover, Li Cao had a good relationship with Yang Yong, but his relationship with Yang Guang was extremely estranged, so Queen Dugu would rather waste time and go to Dugu Kaijun first, just in case.

    Cui Peng and Li Cao were both surprised when Dugu Kai's army entered the prepared army.  Although their identities no longer required them to be on duty in front of Yang Jian, it happened that both of them were in the army and did not go home tonight.

    After tonight's incident, the two of them were not idle, and immediately prepared to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion. However, like Dugu Kai, the two of them were hesitant because they didn't know who to fight.  Although there is an order from Queen Dugu now, Queen Dugu arrives very suddenly, and Dugu Kai's army presses the territory, which is very strange.

    Cui and Li actually don't dare to send troops. After all, the situation is unclear. Who can guarantee that it is not the Dugu family who has channeled the crown prince or the King of Jin who rebelled. What if they are self-defeating.

    Seeing that the two of them had doubts, Dugu Kai was about to forcefully take over the Preparation Mansion.  Cui and Li are the leaders of an army, so they will not be captured without restraint. The conflict between the two sides is about to break out.

    At this time, Queen Dugu told herself not to panic, in order to avoid internal strife and save time to quickly enter the palace to quell the rebellion.  Queen Dugu waved her dress and knelt down in front of Cui Peng and Li Cao.

    Cui Peng and Li Cao were both shocked when they saw Queen Dugu kneeling down suddenly.  Regardless of whether they believed Queen Dugu's words or not, they did not dare to let Queen Dugu kneel to them. After all, the two people who were fighting to death in the palace were both her sons, and whoever won her would be the empress dowager.

    Cui Peng and Li Cao knelt down and kept saying "Don't dare"!

    Queen Dugu pulled one person and said: "General Cui, General Li, the saint was besieged by the rebellion of the East Palace in Daxing Hall, and is in danger. The only ones who can save the saint now are the two generals. I am the wife of the saint, and I have  Five sons have only one husband, a saint, how can they put the saint in danger for the sake of their sons?"

    Cui Peng and Li Cao were also shocked.  Queen Dugu has always been known as a wise woman and has deep prestige in the government and the public.  If we are able to break things like this today, I am afraid that what happened today is really a mutiny by the prince and has nothing to do with King Jin.

    Cui Peng made up his mind that no matter who the messenger was, he would first rescue the saint.  Although Li Cao was reluctant to send troops, Cui Peng and Dugu Kai insisted that he could not do it alone, so he had to obey orders.

    Seeing that both Cui Peng and Li Cao agreed to send troops, Queen Dugu breathed a sigh of relief after her worries were relieved.  Although Dugu Kai's military strength is not inferior to Cui and Li, time waits for no one, and the current Sui Dynasty can no longer withstand any trouble.

    Dugu Kai, Cui Peng, and Li Cao each ordered their troops to put down the rebellion and set out for Daxing Hall.  This vigorous rebellion is about to reach its climax.

    Dugu Kai's advance was very fast, but Hu Yun, who had already moved to the Zhonghua Gate, was originally keeping an eye on the Forbidden Army in the north and immediately discovered the movements of Dugu Kai and others.

    Hu Yun, including Bao Chong's subordinate, barely had 300 men, and they were unable to defend the Zhonghua Gate. They had no ability to stop Dugu Kai's counter-rebellion army. Therefore, Hu Yun immediately passed on the news of the police in the north.  Yuan Ying.

    Hu Yun and Bao Chong can be regarded as die-hard loyalists to Yuan Ying. Although things cannot be violated, the power gap between the two sides is too great.  However, in order to buy time for Yuan Ying, they still moved a large amount of cloth and furniture from the Chinese Palace to block the door. They were prepared to set fire to the door and isolate the inside and outside if they could not hold on.

    And Yuan Ying, who was in a stalemate with Yang Guang at Guangyang Gate, was shocked when he heard the news. How did the Beiyuan Imperial Army come so fast?  How could the prince's left guard alone lead a mere two thousand men withstand the attack of the right guard?

    Now Long Feng has been unable to attack Daxing Palace for a long time, and Yuan Ying has no prepared strength.  Yuan Ying was as anxious as fire.Why haven't the reinforcements from His Highness the Crown Prince arrived yet?

    The prince¡¯s reinforcements did not know when they would arrive, but the imperial army finally arrived at the Zhonghua Gate.

    The Zhonghua Gate is the throat that separates the inside and outside of the city, and it is very dangerous. Hu Yun also used wood to block the two stairs going up inside the city gate.

    More than 300 people from Hu Yun's command were stationed above, and they were all lined up, each holding a bow and arrow and aiming at the forbidden army in the distance.  The Prince Zuowei who captured Zuozangku was not short of preparations. Yuan Ying had sent them a batch of strong bows and crossbows before.

    Standing on the tower and looking to the north, the Forbidden Army seemed to be as numerous as locusts in the night.  All the rebels on the city became nervous.

    Before the Forbidden Army could approach, sparse bows and arrows were shot down from the top of the city.  Anyway, it could not be covered up, so Hu Yun ordered the defenders on the top of the city to pour bows, arrows and wood at the forbidden troops below without mercy.

    Although Dugu Kai's troops had sufficient troops, the Zhonghua Gate was tall and they were not fully prepared to attack the city. They were blocked by Hu Yun's 300 men and could not pass through.

    Seeing that both sides were racing at the same time, Queen Dugu finally came up with a plan to dismantle the supporting pillars of the Chinese Hall to make bumpers. Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

    Queen Dugu angrily scolded: "It's already this time, why do you still care about things outside yourself?"

    Dugukai immediately led people to remove the supporting pillars of the main hall, and then ordered the soldiers to rush towards the city gate with them.  Inside and outside the city gate, arrows were flying like locusts, and countless imperial troops fell on the charging road.

    After the continuous suicidal attacks by the Forbidden Army, the gate was overwhelmed and collapsed.  The Forbidden Army finally opened the door of the Chinese Palace and opened the way to rescue Yang Jian.

    Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached, Hu Yun ordered everyone to set fire to a large amount of cloth, firewood, furniture and other things piled south of the city gate.  These are flammable items that will burn instantly when exposed to fire.

    The soaring flames isolated the inside and outside of the gate, and also blocked the way for the Imperial Army to enter the Daxing Hall southwards.  Dugukai and others exclaimed and lamented, but they really couldn't pass until the fire was extinguished.

    Hu Yun on the top of the city was holding a horizontal sword in his hand, looking at the Imperial Guards who were constantly charging towards the top of the city, with a ferocious smile, mixed with the flashes of monstrous fire, it was very ghostly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
