"I gave birth to a bunch of stupid sons, but the only smart one wants to kill me the most. What else can I do? Don't you want the throne? I'll give it to you right now!"
Yelu Shuai came to his senses at this time. Su Changsheng's army was forcing the palace, and no one or any army of the Liao Dynasty could defend it.
Anyone who wants to be the emperor at this time would be tired of living and would like to hang himself. Fortunately, the edict of succession was not issued.
He patted his chest in fear, smiled and waved his hand: "Then I don't want it, how about you give it to my second brother?"
This city is definitely not defensible. We must escape before Su Changsheng’s army arrives!
But now there is a problem. My second brother’s 100,000 city defense troops have surrounded the imperial city. Where can we escape?
"How about you call your second brother in? Let's stop fighting and resist Su Changsheng together?"
…
…
Tang Qianjun also stood on the treetop and looked at the city through a telescope.
He couldn't understand it either. Such a big capital city should have garrison troops stationed outside, but they didn't meet any when they ran here. Could it be that the garrison troops ran in to attack the inner city?
"The Liao Dynasty is really amazing. How come they started fighting before we even started?" He Sandao just couldn't figure it out.
"How about...we take advantage of their internal strife and attack them?"
"Of course we have to fight our way in. Go and organize the troops. Remember, we only have 20 rounds of ammunition each. If the resistance isn't strong, use your swords whenever possible. After we capture Dading Prefecture, I'm afraid reinforcements will arrive. Damn, I don't know where Feng Xiwei Wubing and the others are now. We're alone, so we'll probably have to hold out for ten days or half a month."
"good!"
Tang Qianjun flew down and the Marines began to assemble in brigades.
He Sandao was still on the treetop, holding a telescope and watching carefully. The battle inside seemed to have reached a fever pitch.
There was no gunfire, but the shouts of killing were deafening. This was a good thing, as it showed that the enemy's combat effectiveness was very low.
He also flew down and stood in front of the army, shouting, "Everyone, follow me and charge in! Remember, those who surrender will not be killed!"
The Liao Dynasty's second prince, Yelu Shu, was standing over a hundred feet outside the inner city walls. With a smile on his face, he said to his old military advisor, "I didn't expect the fifth prince to be so loyal to the emperor. His resistance is fierce. Given the current situation, Mr. Yueming, how long do you think it will take us to enter the inner city?"
He is Cui Yueming!
He stroked his long beard and smiled faintly, "Another hour at most!"
He bowed to Yelu Shu and said, "This old minister congratulates the emperor. In one hour, this vast Liao Dynasty will be in the hands of the emperor!"
Yelu Shu laughed heartily. "This is your plan, sir. After I ascend the throne, you will be my prime minister... Sir, do you think Yelu Hua will be able to return with his troops?"
"What can he do if he comes back? Your Majesty's 200,000 Sufang troops will arrive tomorrow morning. Besides, Yelu Hua is facing the army of Daxia. He is probably fighting with the Daxia army at Maoshan Pass."
"If he loses, will the Great Xia army come to attack me?"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Emperor of Daxia is only in his twenties. When Your Majesty ascends the throne, it would not be shameful to submit to the Emperor of Daxia and pay homage to him. Aren't the nine countries surrounding Daxia all vassal states of Daxia?"
"Besides, our Liao Dynasty is so far away. At most, we can offer a generous tribute to Daxia during the New Year. This Liao Dynasty is still your Majesty's Liao Dynasty!"
Yelu Shu thought about it and felt that what the old man said made sense!
That’s what we’ll do!
"The battle here is already decided. I, this old minister, will inspect the four city gates. We cannot let the old emperor escape. After all, Your Majesty will need his personally written edict to ascend the throne. Only with this can it be legitimate and win the support of the people!"
"Sir, your concerns are very true. Take this token from me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cui Yueming took the second prince's token to the city wall of Dading Prefecture. He did not inspect any city gates, but gathered the 20,000 troops who occupied the city wall.
"Listen carefully, Second Highness orders that from this moment on, all of you will be under my control!"
These generals defending the city were all close confidants of the Second Prince. They knew that Mr. Yueming was the person the Second Prince trusted the most, and with the token given to him by the Second Prince, no one doubted it.
But at this moment, a group of black people suddenly flew in from the sky!
The soldiers looked up in surprise and saw these people flying straight in... "Where are these people from?"
"Don't panic, friendly forces!"
These soldiers were puzzled. Where did the second prince get such powerful allies?
Besides, this incident happened so suddenly today, and the attire of these people doesn’t look like the Liao Dynasty army... Could it be that the second prince borrowed troops from Western Xia?
This is even more wrong. Xixia was almost crippled by the Liao Dynasty. How could anyone still lend it to him?
At this moment, Cui Yueming took out a small magic sword eagle flag and waved it towards the sky.
He Sandao was flying at the front of the team. When he saw the flag in Cui Yueming's hand, he was delighted. Your Majesty is amazing. It turns out that he had already calculated that I would arrive in Dading Prefecture today. It turns out that he had already arranged an insider support. Your Majesty has planned everything out. I am qualified to be a landlord.
"Tang Qianjun, lead your team directly into the inner city. I'll be there later! Remember, don't let the emperor run away!"
When the soldiers on the ground heard this, they were all delighted, thinking, "Oh, it turned out to be friendly troops."
He Sandao landed in front of Cui Yueming, "He Sandao!"
"Tianji Pavilion, Cui Yueming!"
"Great job! Now what do we do?"
Cui Yueming turned around and ordered the 20,000 soldiers, "Hurry and maintain order in Dading Prefecture. There's a curfew. No one is allowed to leave the house, no matter what happens! Go! I'm going to take my allies to capture the old emperor!"
"I obey your command!"
A large group of people ran away in a chaotic manner.
"I don't have time to explain it to you right now. Come with me. We need to talk to the Second Prince!"
He Sandao was stunned. "Aren't we here to arrest the old emperor? What are you talking about with the Second Prince?"
"This Dading Prefecture is in chaos. I've instigated the Second Prince to lead 100,000 city guards to attack the inner city, but the inner city also has the Fifth Prince's 50,000 guards. You've arrived at the perfect time. Your Marines will capture the inner city, and if we can control the Second Prince, we'll also control the 100,000 city guards."
"I'm afraid you haven't received the news yet. Su Ping'an's 450,000-strong army is heading towards Dading Prefecture. I'm afraid they will arrive tomorrow night. We must control the 150,000-strong army of the Second and Fifth Princes and use them to resist Su Ping'an's attack!"
It was not until this time that He Sandao realized the seriousness of the situation.
But he changed his mind and thought, this might also be the plan of His Majesty. I will defend Dading Prefecture with my life, and as soon as Wei Wubing and the others arrive... I will make a killing out of Su Ping'an!
