Chapter 461: Millions of stars illuminate my heart!
The coalition forces of the princes are lined up!
There were countless siege weapons and swords and spears standing in front of the battle formation, warriors in full armor holding large shields, rows of archers, and the sound of horse hooves constantly heard. There were tens of thousands of fully armored knights with great impact force pulling the reins in their hands, controlling the tall horses, among which thousands of horses were extremely handsome, and they were actually Dawan celestial horses!
"Rush into Chang'an! Kill the tyrant!"
The deafening roars of countless people resounded through the clouds, and the condensed evil spirit even broke through the clouds in the sky.
The princes of Jingnan shouted loudly: "The tyrant is doomed!"
The game is over!
This was the thought running through everyone's mind. Any action taken by Liu Dan was nothing but a final act of unwillingness and dying struggle.
Liu Dan led his army forward. He put on armor, rode his favorite horse, drew his strong bow, and then found that his arms were weak.
In just a few years, his addiction to alcohol and sex completely destroyed his will, and he was no longer the fierce general who could shoot three arrows in a row.
He spread his hands in confusion and began to doubt himself.
The princes of Jingnan and others were not confused. Los and his men looked at each other, their eyes full of joy that great things were about to happen, and they ordered without hesitation, "Kill, kill into Chang'an!"
Liu Dan, whose morale was completely crushed, had not yet recovered from the shock when the light cavalry of the coalition forces of the princes rushed forward. As soon as they were dispersed on the battlefield, they rained down arrows, which seemed to continuously destroy the formation of the imperial army.
The strength of the imperial army was very strong, whether in terms of the equipment of war horses or the sophistication of armor and swords, it was even better than most of the coalition forces of the princes. Moreover, most of them were battle-hardened and had participated in many wars in the south and the north over the years.
This is the army that was able to defeat the Huns and plunge them into the abyss with just one sword!
This is the army that conquered the vast territory of today's Han Dynasty!
This is the army that prevents the four barbarians from invading the Xia Dynasty!
But today is different from the past.
If an army loses its fighting spirit, can it still be called elite?
The soldiers of the Guandong coalition fought for the world and for the Han Dynasty. What about us?
To protect an emperor who is causing chaos in the world?
For the reward money?
Huge questions filled everyone's mind.
Then they heard the loud shouts. The Guandong coalition forces, who were fighting with them, shouted in unison: "King Su, kill the tyrant!"
"Those who defect live! Those who resist die!"
"Those who defect live! Those who resist die!"
The cheers of tens of thousands of people and the shouts of a hundred thousand people created an extremely shocking effect, even the sound of horse hooves and the collision of swords were completely drowned out.
The anger in these voices was so obvious that they could almost be called roars.
Instead of saying surrender, they said defection, which was naturally designed.
It is impossible to ask the court's most elite guards, especially the Yulin Army and the Huben Army, to surrender!
That would be a great shame. For the Han people, who valued face and dignity more than life, it would be better for them to die than to surrender.
But defection is different!
To raise the sword for the welfare of the world, to hold the blade for all the people of the world, this is the supreme glory taught by the Suwang Emperor.
"Rise up!"
When the first person turned the blade, it was instantly shattered into pieces. The counterattack that happened in Muye more than a thousand years ago happened again more than a thousand years later.
It's really the cycle of nature!
Liu Dan fled back to the palace early, leaving only the big banner standing there, and then was hacked down heavily by several soldiers with swords.
Seeing the emperor flee, Los and other Jingnan princes were overjoyed and gathered together immediately. "Emperor Liu Dan has fled back to Chang'an City and entered the palace. The great cause is only one step away. The country will be revived and the Han Dynasty will be back on track."
There was a fierce light flashing in the eyes of all the princes. No one said the last word, but everyone knew what others wanted to say.
Kill the emperor!
If Liu Dan still had a glimmer of hope before the coalition forces of the princes entered the pass, then now, even if he agreed to abdicate the throne, he must die.
After part of the imperial army defected, the coalition forces of the princes quickly defeated the remaining soldiers. Of course, they were only taken prisoners but not killed.
In the foreseeable future, it will be impossible for these captured soldiers to stay in Guanzhong. The only outcome is to be exiled to the frontier to open up new areas and atone for their sins.
But this is already a great blessing. It is lucky enough to be able to survive while aiding and abetting the evil.
The gates of Chang'an were wide open, and the elders in the city had already provided food and drink to the army.
"My fellow elders, the important matter has not yet been settled, so I will go first!"
Without saying a word, the princes of the Jingnan Campaign led their most elite cavalry into Chang'an and headed straight for the imperial palace. The deafening sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the city. This scene made the residents of Chang'an feel as if they were in another world.
This is the capital of the Han Dynasty. There has never been such a scene of weapons clashing and horses trampling over the capital. Hearing about it and seeing it with one's own eyes are two completely different feelings. At this moment, it seems as if something is broken.
The imperial palace was still as majestic as ever. Liu Dan had carried out many renovations on it. It was even more majestic than when Luo Yi had built it. Most of the palace maids were beautiful and graceful. They were terrified when they saw the soldiers covered in blood.
It was fortunate that the princes who participated in the Jingnan Rebellion were not rebellious soldiers, otherwise these weak women who were powerless would have certainly met with misfortune.
Along the way, the princes of the Jingnan Campaign killed those loyal soldiers of Liu Dan who were still resisting stubbornly. The corridors in the imperial palace were left with pools of bright red blood. The once prosperous palace was now covered with a layer of blood, but there was not the slightest sense of oppression, but rather endless pleasure.
The emperor who sits in Chang'an and abuses his power and wreaks havoc in Guandong, we are here to kill you!
In the main hall.
When Liu Dan heard the sounds of fighting outside, his face turned paler. He could hardly sit still even on his knees, and his body was shaking constantly.
In Liaodong in the past, he had experienced life and death on the battlefield and fought bravely without fear. Unexpectedly, the pampered life in recent years not only made him lose his ability to dominate the battlefield, but even his heroic and chivalrous spirit disappeared without a trace.
“Clatter.”
“Tatttatt.”
This was the sound made by armored soldiers walking. Liu Dan was very familiar with it. He raised his head and looked at the palace gate. The first thing he saw was a figure holding a helmet in his hands with a holy mark flashing between his eyebrows.
"Luo Shi!"
Liu Dan's anger surged up instantly, and just as he was about to question, he saw one by one the princes of the Jingnan Campaign walked in from outside the hall, wearing armor and holding swords.
Anger made him no longer afraid, and he shouted loudly: "Rebel, what are you going to do?
Is the wealth and honor I have given you not enough?
You actually mobilized the mob to betray you and caused blood to spill in the imperial palace. Are you worthy of the emperors of all dynasties who have bestowed grace upon you in the past?
Luo Shi, Luo Si, the glory of King Luo Wen will be disgraced because of you two.
The thousand-year-old Luo clan actually has..."
“That’s enough!”
Before Yinghou Luosi and Wushuanghou Luoshi could say anything, Lühou Lüchan shouted, "You tyrant and traitor, you are still so shameless as to criticize loyal people.
Open your eyes and look, look at all the marquises in this hall. Which one was not a marquisate conferred by Emperor Gaozu when the Han Dynasty was established, which one was not a marquisate that made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and which one was not a marquisate that was extremely rich and powerful!
We, the nobles who hold the highest positions in the country, risked our lives and the annihilation of our clans to rise up in Guandong. With great passion and courage, we crossed thousands of miles and fought bloody battles. Was it for the so-called wealth and glory that you, a tyrant and a traitor, talked about?
What wealth and honor do you have to give to us, the heroes and marquises!
The Luo family has been a noble family for thousands of years, and has been in charge of state affairs for four times. They were offered the throne of the emperor but refused to accept it. But in your mouth, they became rebellious.
It is true that a summer insect cannot talk about ice!
So ridiculous!
How can a sparrow like you understand our ambitions as great as swans? "
Lu Chan's voice echoed in the hall. Liu Dan's face turned red and he pointed at Lu Chan angrily, but he was completely speechless. The princes of the Jingnan Movement cheered when they heard his words. What Lu Chan wanted to say was what they thought.
They have already reached the highest position in the country, and what they need to do is to keep a low profile and quietly make contributions to maintain their wealth and status. If Liu Dan had not caused the wrath of heaven and people, they would never have come out.
This time, we are fighting for the country, not for personal gain.
“In the past, Emperor Xiaowu promoted the Wei and Huo families, so our two families were able to rise from humble beginnings to our current status. Emperor Xiaoding had no children, so you were able to become emperor. You should have promoted the kindness of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Xiaoding, but you unexpectedly became a traitor who brought chaos to the world.
Killing the tyrant today will not only benefit the world, but also vindicate the reputations of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Xiaoding!"
Luo Shi said nothing, standing among the crowd, his eyes full of disappointment. Luo Si patted his shoulder, then walked forward and said loudly: “Even if Emperor Gao is resurrected, he will draw out the Chixiao Divine Sword and kill you, an unworthy descendant, first.
Then we, the descendants of meritorious officials, will be given heavy rewards.
Emperor Gao, Empress Gao, King Luo Wen, Emperor Xiaohui, Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaowu, four generations of emperors, two generations of regents, and the remaining power of six generations, all of them were ruined in your hands.
If you don't care about the Han Dynasty, then we will fight against it and let the people of the world see it.
Thousands of stars, illuminate my heart! Yuan Cong and other meritorious officials have lived up to the Han Dynasty! "
Liu Dan's face turned red, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
————
The Li Emperor was unkind, cruel by nature, arrogant, cruel and sinister, and harbored evil intentions.
He killed great men to cut off the sage way, eliminated those who advised him to cover up his own mistakes, forced the kings and princes to violate their moral principles without knowing what crime those who were killed had committed.
Taking advantage of his great military achievements, he indulged in his insatiable desires, levied a hundred kinds of taxes, and condoned corrupt officials. People could not bear their lot, but he indulged himself in luxury.
The exhausted masses are nowhere to be seen, the construction work never stops, the construction prolongs life, but it is still like passing through Afang Palace, sucking the fat and blood of the people and exhausting the tyrant's ambitions.
By the end, all the people under heaven and around them became enemy countries, the country was in turmoil, and the country was on the verge of collapse, but they were still unaware of it and allowed brutal laws to be used and severe punishments to be imposed.
Mountains and rivers wept blood, the people were in distress, the heroes raised their arms, and the whole world followed. Thus, he died in a dark room with his soul wandering around, and the emperor's tomb was left empty, making the whole world laugh! - "Records of the Grand Historian: The Chronicle of Emperor Li"
