The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

After all, the action of the tens of thousands of troops was not just a few people sneaking in. Before walking in the pass for a long time, they were spotted by the secret sentries patrolling all around a hundred steps away from the gate of the general's mansion, and an alarm was issued.

"Who are you? Stop, alert soldiers, hurry up and send out the signal, ah!"

Before the patrolman could finish his words, he was shot in the throat with an arrow by the exasperated rebel general, and he fell down slowly with a scream.

"Beep beep!" With the sound of warning horns, the three hundred guards stationed in the city lord's mansion immediately responded to the sound.

Hastily came to the city wall of the City Lord's Mansion, rushed to various dangerous places, and guarded the City Lord's Mansion tightly.

At the same time, the personal guard camp stationed 500 meters away from the Lord's Mansion was also awakened by the sound of the flute. Immediately under the shouts of their respective officers, the disheveled people slowly gathered on the school field in the camp.

The commander of the personal guards is about to send someone to inquire about the news, so as to find out what happened? Why are those warning sirens sounding all of a sudden.

Suddenly, he heard a noise not far from him, from the direction of the Lord's Mansion. From time to time, it is mixed with the sound of the collision of iron armor and the shouts of people, so listen carefully.

I vaguely heard "enemy attack, enemy attack, someone has rebelled, hurry up and send an order for reinforcements to come to rescue you, and put down the rebellion!"

Although it was a bit unkind, but it was basically the meaning, and the commander of the personal guard immediately changed his face. At this juncture, someone actually betrayed, this is not a trivial matter.

If the enemy army outside the city took advantage of the chaos to attack the city, then this majestic revolving door pass, it can be said that there is no defense at all, and it will surely fall in one fell swoop.

With such anxiety on his face, his mouth also stopped at the same time, and he quickly said to the guards beside him, go and gather all the troops by yourself, gather them, and go to escort them.

At the same time, messengers were sent to gather all the troops in the city that had not participated in the rebellion. Order them to send some people to guard the city wall, so as not to be seized by the defenders outside the city and attack the city.

The other part came immediately to put down the rebellious army, but I don't know how many people this army has, if there are only a few hundred or thousands of him, then it's nothing, if there are five or six thousand of him , that would be bad.

Thinking this way in my heart, my own army was also assembled, and I rode on the horse, leading them to rescue him, the horseshoes sounded along the way, and I arrived at the city lord's mansion in a short while.

But at this time, the City Lord's Mansion was full of people, with torches lit all over the place, looking out from the city wall of the City Lord's Mansion, the entire city was lit up by dots of flames.

According to the system in the army, every ten people are equipped with a torch. Now counting it carefully, I can see that there are no less than a thousand flames, which proves that at least tens of thousands of people participated in this rebellion.

Who is it? How could they inspire so many people to join the rebellion? Aren't they afraid of the court's laws? Or the imperial court has been reduced to such a point that people's hearts are scattered and everyone wants to turn against it.

This was the first reaction in the heart of the commander of the personal guards who rushed to the city lord's mansion and saw the endless army. At the same time, he felt inexplicably sad, feeling sad for the dynasty that he had loyal to for most of his life.

Seeing these three thousand personal guards rushing to rescue him, the leader of the tens of thousands of rebels, An Guo Xiaowei Guo Cheng, didn't care. He is a member of the Guo family, a wealthy family in Yingchuan County, and he is also the person with the highest status among the nobles among all the generals in this pass.

This time, he took advantage of his family's status, and under the meticulous instigation of the imperial army outside the pass, he summoned several generals who were usually friendly and belonged to the gentry.

After a series of coercion and lures, they were very consoling, and those generals who were born in the gentry had undergone systematic training since they were young. Seeing excellence, they didn't understand that the current Han Dynasty had come to an end at dusk, and it wouldn't last long.

One of the reasons why he insists on refusing to surrender now is that he can’t get over his face. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he has been an official of the Han Dynasty for generations and eats the salary of the Han Dynasty. What about mutiny? Because the educational philosophy they have received since childhood does not match.

The second is that there is no way for them to surrender if they want to surrender. If they surrender rashly, how can they know how the Yu Kingdom treats them? So there was no immediate surrender.

But now that he knew that Guo Cheng had obtained the secret book of Yuguo, the general who had the intention of surrendering in his heart, after a little bit of shirk and reserved a few times.

Under the repeated persuasion of the school captain Guo Cheng, he finally agreed to join him in the incident tonight, using the head of the city guard Lu Zhi to go to the imperial camp in exchange for a piece of merit.

The city wall of the City Lord's Mansion is not high, only five meters high. Compared with the twenty-meter-high city wall in the morning light outside, it is like an adult and a child, and there is no comparison at all.

However, at this moment, it was this small five-meter-high city wall that gave the hundreds of defenders in the city lord's mansion a sense of security, allowing them to calm down and persevere even though they were surrounded by tens of thousands of troops. Stand guard on the wall.

It wasn't until they saw the 3,000-strong personal guards arriving within a short period of time that the hearts of those defenders were completely settled down, and they concentrated on guarding the City Lord's Mansion.

But at this moment, he was startled by the noisy voices outside, Lu Zhi stopped discussing with those generals, and instead led them to the city wall of the City Lord's Mansion, looking outside, there were all heads, The densely packed rebels.

His eyes suddenly sank, and he looked out gloomyly at the Anguo general Guo Cheng who was riding a tall horse and sitting in the center of all the troops, surrounded by countless generals in armor.

"The rebel Guo Cheng, the imperial court treats you well. You have inherited the position of the governor of Jiuqing for generations. The Guo family of Yingchuan has been favored by the emperor. Now you are rebellious. What is your intention?" asked sharply angrily.

"Today's son has no way, so the world is full of wars, the people are displaced, and the place is full of starvation. Today, there is a king from the royal family of the Ming Dynasty in the south, who is invincible. How long will it take to resist the king's division? General, why don't you turn your back and attack the injustice together, so as to return the world to a bright and peaceful world, make the people stable, and the world be unified!" Hearing Lu Zhi's question, Process didn't take it to heart, instead he talked about the tyranny of the Han Dynasty, bewitching the defenders on the city wall to turn against each other, messing up Lu Zhi's position.

"It's useless to say more now, you and I should see the real chapter on the battlefield!" Seeing the soldiers around him, some of them showed strange expressions, Lu Zhi quickly cut off their imaginations, and talked to Guo Guo outside. Cheng said.

"Since that's the case, then so be it, pass my order, attack, and the one who wins Lu Zhi's head will be the first, rewarded with a hundred gold, and promoted to three ranks!"

Guo Cheng looked left and right, and found that after a period of delay, all the troops belonging to his side in the entire city slowly gathered around him. The number of people has reached about 30,000, accounting for the entire army in the city. Seventy percent or more.

In the city, only a mere 2,000 people from him came to the rescue, and the remaining 5,000 people stayed at the original station, choosing to be neutral, and wait and see the outcome of this battle.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help whispering a few times when he looked at Lu Zhi, who was still stubborn after the general situation was over.

Don't blame me, the benefits offered by Yuguo are too great, I can't refuse that condition, a fief of a county!

And it's still a big county. If I can successfully kill Lu Zhi to open the checkpoint this time, then I will be a monarch in the future.

I can also taste the feeling of being lonely and supreme. Thinking of seeing the emperor's aloof appearance in the past, I can't help feeling a burst of fire in my heart.
