The Xia Tang and the Xiliang coalition forces did not give the Liang Dynasty too much preparation time. At the end of September, the 200,000 troops were fifty miles outside the city. In order to avoid the war, the people outside the capital fled and hid, and they could no longer see anyone appearing on the streets.

As Jin Chongwu's personal prisoner, Xuan Shaoning was allowed to watch the battle unfold in front of him on the day of siege. In order to show his need for Xuan Shaoning, Jin Chongwu specially ordered someone to guard him and found an excellent viewing position for him.

When Xuan Shaoning stood at a high place and looked at the capital, there was a man standing on the top of the city and looking at the army. He was Yan Keran, but they were really far apart and it was impossible for them to see each other.

What's even more different is that one is that the prisoner is powerless in the face of being surrounded by the capital, and the other is that he is responsible for defending the capital. Yan Keran's heart was difficult to calm down for a long time. Just one hour ago, all the generals attended the pre-war meeting together, which was chaired by Shen Qianji.

Chen Qianji finally convinced Emperor Liang to fight hard at the court meeting. At the same time, in order to show his determination to fight to the end of the war, he took on the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, and the premise was that Emperor Liang agreed to hand over all the troops to him to command.

Dan Tai Wengu was the first to stand up and oppose it, and the reason was very sufficient: Chen Qianji was just a scholar, how could he understand the war? Besides, he was a minister of Dali Temple and had no intersection with war at all. How could such a person lead an army of 100,000?

The military generals stood on the side of Dan Tai Wengu. At the same time, many civil officials also believed that Chen Qianji was embarrassed by the great task. At this critical moment, the first person to express his position and support Chen Qianji was actually Yan Keran.

Yan Keran walked into the hall in military uniform, and his words and deeds surprised all the ministers present, including Emperor Liang himself.

"Report to the Lord, General Shen agrees to lead the army. General Shen is willing to lead the imperial guards to participate in the battle to guard the capital, and die to protect the capital! Please allow the Lord to hand it over to the imperial guards!"

Chen Qianji seized the opportunity to persuade Emperor Liang: "Master, the defense of the entire capital is the most clearest in the Minister of War, but since Lord Cao's death, the position of Minister of War has been vacant. In recent times, Weichen has been familiar with the defense of the entire city through the Ministry of War. The total strength of the three armies in the capital is only 100,000, and there are only 50,000 combat power. The rest are some veterans and soldiers. I dare to ask you, how should you deploy defense in this situation?"

Dan Tai Wengu obviously put himself in a too prominent position. His internal struggle with Guangyuan Army led to the retreat of wars. At this time, he stood up and spoke with only the last trace of confidence in the God Killing Tuqi. After all, he was too young. Compared to his father, he was still too young. At this moment, he was actually asked by Chen Qianji.

These have long been under Shen Qianji's plan, and he talked about them

"There are nine gates in the capital, but two of them will be the main targets of the enemy's attack, namely Huayang Gate and Jinchuan Gate. They are not only the closest distance from the enemy, but also the two most spacious gates among the nine gates. Most of the enemy are cavalry and have strong mobility. They will definitely choose to attack the main force between these two gates."

"So, how do you plan to arrange troops?" This time I asked Emperor Liang.

"The other seven city gates have all arranged arrangements, including the god killing the cavalry, Guangyuan Army and Jingzhao Yin's troops, selected generals to garrison them respectively. As for the Jinchuan people, they were handed over to Commander Yan, and the Huayang Gate was handed over to Weichen!"

Most people, including Dan Tai Wengu, can only sigh that Chen Qianji intends to exchange his life for power and wealth? Since it is the city gate that the enemy mainly attacks, the risk factor is the greatest. He did not hand it over to his political enemies, but took the initiative to bear it. Even if everyone is unwilling to do so, he still has to admit this courage.

Wealth and honor are in danger. Since Chen Qianji is planning to die by himself, I will not be able to stop him. Dan Tai Wengu thought so. At the same time, he looked at Yan Keran. This person really made him unable to understand when he had sex with Shen Qianji? He was also so desperate?

Yan Keran stood up and said, "Master, Daliang has experienced a shock. In such a short period of time, we must not suffer another fatal blow. Although the General of the Mo is just a commander, the General of the Mo is willing to take on the responsibility of protecting the capital. Even if the General of the Mo is dead in battle, he will be loyal to the country!"

After saying something frankly, even Emperor Liang was unconsciously infected. Are they the loyal ministers and generals mentioned by Danyan? Yes, it must be!

Emperor Liang took over Chen Qianji's military general selection arrangement, and after carefully reading it, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Sir, I have three cliques to be explained."

"It's okay to just say it."

"First, every guard led his soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy; second, once the army leaves the city, the city gate will be closed immediately. As long as the enemy does not retreat, it cannot be opened, no matter who ordered it; third, arrange archers at the top of the city to help the army under the city fight, and on the other hand, it is also to find that there are soldiers who dare to retreat and shoot immediately."

Not to mention those opponents, even Yan Keran did not expect that Chen Qianji would do this. He did not have these three military rules when he discussed with him before. Those generals who were about to go to the battlefield expressed their opposition. Isn’t this equivalent to fighting to the death? Once they leave the city, everyone will have only one way out of death except to kill the enemy.

"The last general objection!" Yang Zhong must stand up, "Master, this will drive all the soldiers to the brink of life and death. The war should be timely adjustments according to the battlefield situation. How can we just close the city gate?"

"General Yang, are you scared?" Emperor Liang asked. His question made Yang Zhong look very embarrassed. This is definitely not allowed to deny it.

OK. "The heroic deeds of the veteran General Yang Jie are still in front of you. I believe that as a famous general, you will not disappoint me or the people of the capital."

"The Lord, the last general..."

"The last general obeys the order!" Yan Keran gritted his teeth and shouted: "The last general must lead the Imperial Guards to fight to the death outside the city. If they cannot retreat, they will support themselves!"

Emperor Liang's eyes lit up. He stared at Chen Qianji and Yan Keran excitedly, and said to all the ministers: "At this moment when the capital is alive, I will personally beat the drums for everyone on the Skylark Platform!"

A sneer appeared on Yan Keran's lips, and at the same time he had noticed that Chen Qianji had led 20,000 elite soldiers to set out towards Jinchuan Gate. This guy was playing too much. He was so sure that he would be able to retreat successfully? Of course, now he can only hope that he can retreat to the enemy and he can come back alive.

Yan Keran turned around and walked towards the city. The autumn wind began to blow on his body. The blood-colored cloak spread out and his steps were steadily, but Yan Keran could not help but look in one direction. There was a faint sound of drums in that direction, and that direction was the Skylark Tower, which was the most familiar place for the imperial city.

"Yunxuan, are you looking here on the Skylark Platform now? Do you know I'm about to go to the battlefield? If I can't come back alive, will you shed a tear? If I come back alive, you will..."

Forget it, everything is unknown, so let's order the troops first! Yan Keran made generous speeches in the face of three thousand imperial guards and the 10,000 troops added, elevating the meaning of the family and country to a new level, and also explaining the responsibility of the generals more thoroughly. Finally, he told everyone about the three military rules of Chen Qianji. As expected, someone began to stir up.

"In this battle, there will be death and no life, but once we win and come back alive, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth. I will not force you, and once you leave the city and regret it, there will be no chance. Now I will give you a chance. Those who are willing to fight will stand in place, and those who are greedy for life and fear death will take a step back!"

Several people hesitated. They wanted to retreat, but the people around them were helpless. Finally, one of them planned to make a head-on retreat. As a result, just took a step back, the tip of the knife immediately pressed against his waist. The man did not dare to look back, because the tingling sensation at the tip could not be clear.

"Very good! Since you all want to kill thieves, then go out with me! Today we are brothers who fight bloodyly, and we will advance together without retreat until we kill foreign enemies! Kill the enemy to serve the country!"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

The soldiers shouted and walked out of Jinchuan Gate, all of whom were scared.
