The young eunuch was a little apprehensive: "General, my name is Gao Liang."
Fang Zhiyi nodded, then looked at Cao Ji: "Eunuch Cao, I'm sorry to have to trouble you these few days. Please stay on this city wall with me."
Cao Ji was confused and said, "General? I don't understand."
Fang Zhiyi glared grimly at the troops stationed not far from the city walls. "You're the commander of the Xuan Jing Division, aren't you? Before the enemy troops retreat, I want everyone in the Xuan Jing Division on standby. Anyone found collaborating with the enemy will be killed on the spot. Anyone attempting to surrender will be killed on the spot. Anyone attempting to flee will be killed on the spot."
Cao Ji gasped, gazing at the general who had been drinking and listening to music with him just a few days ago. Was he so ruthless? Since its establishment, the Xuanjing Division had only collected dirt on some court officials and arrested some rebels, but it had never done anything this large.
Fang Zhiyi turned around, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Eunuch Cao, did you hear it?" This Cao Ji, after he had originally surrendered, he found out that it was Cao Ji who was an insider for the rebel army, and it was also he who forced Emperor Shunying to commit suicide.
"Hey, hey." Cao Ji turned around and told Gao Liang, "Are you not going yet?"
Gao Liang nodded and jogged along.
This Xuan Jing Si is similar to Fang Zhiyi's original Dongchang in world history, but it is a bit more useless.
The rebel army did not attack, but rested on the spot, and did not seem to be in a hurry. That night, a letter was delivered to Cao Ji through the Xuan Jing Division, and Cao Ji gave it to Fang Zhiyi with a smile.
Fang Zhiyi did not avoid him and opened it in front of him.
It turned out to be the letter of persuasion.
Xiao Hei didn't know the plot, but Fang Zhiyi filled it in himself. Cao Ji had already colluded with the rebel army through the spies of Xuan Jingsi outside.
In the court, the officials did not go home, but continued to persuade the emperor to move south.
"Your Majesty, no matter how brave the general is, we can't fight against so many rebels!"
"Your Majesty, Fang Zhiyi has wicked ambitions!" A court official rushed in from outside. "My family wanted to flee the city, but they were stopped by the Xuanjingsi and killed!"
"What!" The ministers in the court were all shocked.
"The leader said that this was the general's intention. I beg Your Majesty to support me!" The old minister prostrated himself on the ground and cried bitterly.
Someone else immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Zhiyi might have already colluded with the rebel army. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"Yes, if he opens the city and surrenders, won't we be lambs to be slaughtered?" someone reacted.
Emperor Shunying just sat there and watched them silently.
A eunuch stumbled in and shouted, "Your Majesty! This is bad! The general has opened the city gates, and the enemy troops are coming in!"
Emperor Shunying's expression changed: "What did you say?"
There was wailing in the court. Some people began to think about how to surrender to save their lives, while others simply turned around and ran away.
Seeing the vanguard of the rebel army pouring into the city gate, Cao Ji felt relieved and smiled: "General Fang knows the current situation. Even if it is the new dynasty, we can still live happily together."
Fang Zhiyi also laughed: "Yeah, how can we turn the tide when the wind is against us?"
But in the next second, he drew his sword and chopped off Cao Ji's head. Cao Ji still kept a smile on his face, and the head rolled down from the city wall.
"Close the gate! Shoot!" The outer gate of the city wall was closed, and the soldiers who had originally opened the gate suddenly drew their swords and slashed at the bandits behind them. Many archers appeared on the city walls on both sides, and arrows poured down like they were free.
The rebels below were all dumbfounded. Didn't they say Fang Zhiyi surrendered? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Xiao Hei watched this scene, then looked at Fang Zhiyi: "Su Yu, you won't surrender?"
"Have you ever heard of this poem?" Fang Zhiyi asked as he looked at the rebels falling one after another below.
"I will repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace and die for you, supporting the Jade Dragon!"
