Chapter 480 Advance to the Empire (Part 2)(1/2)
However, just as the city guards on the city tower were about to surrender, they discovered a strange situation.
The flags worn by the cavalry under the city were actually patterns of red background, white vines and black roses. No matter how you look at this pattern, they are all aristocratic articles, and have nothing to do with the totems that the grassland people like.
And what made them most undecided was that these cavalry equipment was very elite, even surpassing the equipment of powerful and wealthy private soldiers.
Although I can't see clearly, everyone knows that the grassland people are not so expensive to dress, otherwise the grassland people would not have used their lives to fill the soil!
"Well, sir, these people don't look like grassland people no matter how they look. Do we still want to surrender?" a confidant little officer asked the commander secretly.
The commander now regretted why he was so impulsive that he killed the powerful servant with one knife, and announced his surrender in public.
If the enemy is not the enemy but the friendly army, then I will be in trouble. But anyway, I have no way out, so I can just go all the way to the black calculation
So they shouted again: "Everyone, no matter whether the other party is a grasslander or not, at least if the other party is so powerful, if we want to resist, it will be a mantis stalking..."
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers suddenly exclaimed: "They stopped!"
After looking into the eyes, I saw that most of the cavalry were just standing still.
Then, a hundred cavalry continued to advance, reaching the distance of the bow and arrow on the city tower, and the cavalry stopped.
Then, I heard the hundred people shouting at the same time: "Listen in the city, you are restricted to surrender immediately! Otherwise, after the city is broken, all those who resist will be killed, and all the people in the city will be given one or more households to reduce the family!"
Everyone was scared when they heard about the fact that they would destroy their whole family at any time.
The commander found that this was a great opportunity and immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Don't hesitate, raise the white flag and surrender immediately!"
The commander shouted, and the soldiers who had already lost their lords had no idea how to raise the white flag and surrender.
The cavalry who wanted to shout three times as usual and then start fighting, but before the second time had been spoken, they found that a white flag was raised at the top of the city and the gate began to open slowly. They couldn't help but look at each other with extreme depression. They sighed helplessly and stepped forward a few steps to take over the city gate.
The city gate opened, and thousands of cavalrymen rushed into the city gate as if they had received some order. The sound of horse hooves sounded in the city. The powerful family, who had received the news, were panicked and wanted to escape in a carriage, immediately retreated back to their homes and summoned the guards to guard the house in fear.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, everyone in the city knew that the enemy soldiers had entered the city.
There is no high-end military force like cavalry in this city, and the cavalry in its own country is on the front line. Now there is no explanation for the cavalry that emerges except the enemy.
While cursing the uselessness of the city guards, everyone let the enemy soldiers enter the city without even resisting for an hour. While hurriedly hiding the treasures at home, then letting the beautiful family members dirty their faces. Finally, they summoned the servants and wore armor and held swords to wait for the unknown future.
Seeing that Linsen County surrendered without resistance, Cons and his men were a little stunned.
Although there were demonstrations and precedents of massacre, many of them surrendered obediently as soon as they fought, but I have never seen anyone who surrendered without even figuring out the identity of the enemy! Is this border city of the empire too cowardly?
Thinking of this, the officers born in the North immediately looked at Cons with a hot look.
If the empire's city is already so weak, then it is not impossible for the northerners to unify the empire!
Ah, the northern country, which was originally inconspicuous in the world, is finally going to become the protagonist of the world stage?
When the officers think of this moment that is famous in history and unparalleled in the world, it is very likely that the officers will experience it personally, and the blood of them is boiling.
Because Cons' surname represents the ancient royal family, Cons is considered by the officers and soldiers of the North to be the most orthodox northerner.
These people far away from the North have no idea that there are now a large number of people with the surname Lerente in Cons, waiting to see Cons.
These people told outsiders that they were a member of the royal family and asked Cons to ascend the throne immediately to rebuild the ancient royal family and enfeoff them of relatives who are both royal bloodlines.
In Linsen County, the elite inner guards and cavalry controlled the entire city defense at the first time, and then the secret guards that entered at the same time began to set up defenses. In the end, the 50,000 lord guards surrounded and stopped.
The Cons family and the maids were all left in the army. Xiang Wen brought a group of inner guards to the city and began to find a mansion that Cons lived in.
Although the county lord's family is also a luxury house, he is just the head of a civil servant in a remote county town. No matter how beautiful the mansion is, it is not much beautiful. Otherwise, when other powerful people arrive, they will definitely force their houses to be entrusted.
After a walk around this small county town, Xiangwen pointed the horse whip at the largest and most beautiful mansion in the entire county town. The Neimons immediately turned over and got off the horse and came to the front door.
The door opened automatically, and more than a dozen strong men in black were standing by the door and saluted Xiangwen.
The inner guard quickly entered the mansion and began to drive people into defense.
Of course, the guards of the mansion are inevitably rebellious, but this kind of rebellion cannot be exerted under the joint suppression of the inner guard and the secret guards.
Xiang Wen wandered around the mansion, looking at the places where the posts needed to be placed.
And at this moment, a tender and arrogant voice suddenly came out: "Do you know whose family's family's family is this? Do you dare to be so unreasonable?"
Xiangwen smiled and came to the place where the sound came out.
I saw a beautiful maid blocking a door with her thin body, staring at the fierce Neiemon without fear.
Seeing this little beauty, Xiang Wen couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Of course it's not because of the beauty of this beauty.
If she really looks better than her, Xiangwen is much more beautiful than her. What makes Xiangwen care about is that this maid is loyal to the head of the family when facing a powerful enemy.
By looking at the structure and layout of the house, you will know that this house is the main house of this luxury house.
Because of his personality, Xiangwen has a good impression of loyal people. This is why Xiangwen gradually became alienated from him, just like him, and was four of the first five confidants under Cons.
Because Xiangwen found that these four people, including the two originally very straightforward twin brothers, had selfish interests and their loyalty to Cons was not first.
If they hadn't known how to restrain themselves, know how to avoid major issues, and hadn't really betrayed Cons, I believe Xiangwen had already dealt with them, rather than being as alienated as they are now.
The beautiful maid also discovered Xiangwen's existence at this time.
Such a beautiful and evil beauty appears with a burly man, and everyone's eyes will be implemented as soon as possible.
Xiang Wen smiled.
Usually, Xiangwen is like a piece of ice when she doesn't smile, but it makes people laugh as if she suddenly blooms. She is fascinated by the eyes. She was originally going to use a strong inner guard to see Xiangwen smiling at the beautiful maid and immediately stepped down and stood there.
"Whose inner courtesy is your master?" Xiang Wen asked with a smile.
The beautiful maid saw that the beauty in front of her should be a high-ranking official and immediately climbed along the pole.
"This kind and handsome brother, my wife is the wife of the Imperial Prime Minister. She has a noble status and can't stand the fright. Can you let these rude men go out? I will persuade her to leave the mansion."
All the inner guards present rolled their eyes. Why did this girl regard Xiangwen as a brother? Is this the nature of beauties jealous of each other?
Except for a very few people in the Cons system, everyone else regards beautiful women as beautiful women.
Xiangwen's eyes trembled for a moment. This was the first time someone could see his gender at a glance. But he immediately threw this aside and his smile calmed down.
Although this woman is sincere, she has no eyesight or has been brainwashed. What noble is there for a rebellious dynasty prime minister's wife? She dares to say such things in front of her enemies?
And this woman is too cruel, right? She hid in the house and actually put such a beautiful woman outside the door to stop her. She was like putting a little lamb in front of a hungry wolf!
Xiangwen did not answer the maid's words, and waved his hand directly. The inner guard immediately kicked the door open and entered the room amid the maid's screams.
There was no trace of anyone in the house, and it was obvious that he escaped from the secret passage.
The maid who had been beating and holding her inner guard desperately was immediately stunned. She didn't expect that the house she had sacrificed her life to guard was empty.
Xiang Wen glanced at the maid who was already stupid and felt unbearable.
This little idiot actually met a master who threw her out to die at any time. It was so unlucky. But it seems that he didn't have a master who was willing to live and die with his servants these days, right?
Yes, there is an exception to my own master.
Xiangwen, who was walking out, said casually: "Let this girl be my maid."
As soon as this was said, the poet found out that something was wrong.
He followed the Lord all day long, how could he serve him if he wanted to come to serve him? Well, it would be fine to clean his residence. Xiangwen quickly disappeared these thoughts, and he didn't think about why he, who had never felt anything about women, wanted such a maid.
Everything that happened in Xiangwen was a trivial matter, but it still fell into Cons's ears.
Cons just smiled at such a thing. Although he was happy to see this happen, it was a private matter. He didn't have to pay attention to it except to investigate whether the maid's identity was true.
Let it go naturally is the best. Didn’t you also have two wives? So fate is really strange.
Cons' random actions of attacking Linsen County gave Cons a huge gain.
First of all, income from wealth.
The ninth prince ascended the throne as soon as the prince ascended the throne. It can be said that Shaanxi Province is a country, and Linsen County is the rear of this country and the safest place.
Almost all senior officials of the entire country sent their family wealth and family members here, which means that Cons this time was equivalent to sweeping away 90% of the family wealth of the ministers under the ninth prince's command.
Second, all the ministers and families of this dynasty were captured, including the officials and family members of the county lord who escaped from the earliest days, and the wife of the prime minister who hid, did not escape the pursuit of the secret guards.
Cons did not expose the news, but only detained the powerful and powerful families. As for those servants and maids, Cons allowed them to move freely.
Some were indeed a group of servants sneaked away because of loyalty, or because of future and reward, but they had no idea that the Secret Guards had followed them closely.
As these servants spread, the news that Cons' army appeared behind the ninth prince immediately spread throughout the world.
The servants may not know what the pattern of the red background and white vines and black roses represents, but those powerful people, especially the high-level powerful people, are very clear that this is a flag that has been flying over the five southeastern provinces for a long time.
The ninth prince was just a teenager. When he heard this, he looked at his uncle, the so-called imperial prime minister.
Before the prime minister could speak, a general below jumped out.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. You should not know which little bastards are pretending to be the name of Cons. Look at the fact that they only occupy a county town and stop expanding. You can understand that this is just a group of bluffing mobs. As long as you give me 10,000 troops, I will immediately destroy this group of bandits for Your Majesty and recover the territory for Your Majesty!"
Before the Ninth Prince, the emperor, had already said gloomyly: "God of General, are you planning to kill all the families of all the ministers?"
As soon as these words were spoken, more than half of the ministers in the court stared at the general with vicious eyes.
The general didn't care about these gazes at all, but shrugged and said, "Those bandits don't have the courage. As long as we fight fiercely, they may not be able to send them back to the hostages and express surrender?"
The Prime Minister snorted coldly: "Hmph! This is just your wishful thinking! What if those bandits persecuted the hostages when they discovered our army was attacking?"
"This is all I can blame the hostages for their bad luck, but our Imperial Army will definitely avenge them!" The general said deliberately gritting his teeth.
To be continued...
