Chapter 690 (2/2)

But why did Su Qian'an come back with Zhao Jiajun?

”Door Lord, empress.” Ji Bai, a member of the tomb gate who was outside looking at the situation, returned to Shi's house and knelt down to the masked man and concubine Li.

”Who is leading the army?” Princess Li asked.

”General Zhao personally led the troops. There were about 200000 soldiers in the battle. They were about to reach the foot of the north gate.” Ji Bai reported back truthfully.

Rao was always calm and calm, and concubine Li was also surprised by his reply.

The people who first retreated from lingmen, although they said that the troops outside the city returned under the banner of Zhao's army, they also know now that Zhao Dingshan led 200000 troops.

Li Fei tightened the armrest of the chair she was holding tightly. After a few deep breaths, she got up quietly and hurried to the outside of the house.

Taking advantage of the gap arranged by the rebels to the city gate, Xiao mubai and his party quickly counted the remnants of the current situation.

Xiang Chengfang immediately assigned all the imperial doctors and went to check the wounded under each city gate. To the surprise of early summer, Yuan Guangyi, who had been under house arrest in the imperial hospital, mysteriously disappeared.

The wounded who guarded the city didn't want to go back for treatment. There were not many soldiers left in the palace. If Shi Fuqiu sent another team back to attack, they would be caught off guard.

Xiao Zimu went to the hall of Supreme Harmony to appease the literary ministers in the palace. Now they can finally come out and take a head. The scarlet palace wall is now more and more bright stained with blood. The blue city bricks with frost on the wall are everywhere with the traces of arrow rain.

This majestic and solemn imperial palace now looks like countless scars were scratched with a big knife.

Wu Taifu, as an old minister of the three dynasties, looked at such a scene and wanted to cry. He covered his face with his forehead and couldn't bear to look straight at it.

The state of Xiao has experienced countless battles, large and small, but there has never been such a chilling one as today.

This is the Imperial City

At the beginning of summer, while giving treatment to those seriously injured people sent by Xiang Chengfang, he asked Raven to explain in detail why old general Zhao led his troops back to Beijing.

Fortunately, Su Qian'an knew that when he saw the Raven in early summer, he would ask these questions. On the way back to Beijing, even if the Raven was impatient, he chattered and told him what to report again and again.

At the beginning of the summer, after listening to the raven, I knew that, in fact, during the last time that General Zhao returned to Beijing, he went to the palace every day and the emperor was really not chatting and chatting. They had already signed everything privately.

The Emperor gave general Zhao several orders to transfer troops to several cities, waiting for an opportunity to force imperial concubine Li to be caught with conclusive evidence.

Just like Du Hanfei, if the emperor doesn't move, she will have no place to turn over.

The real number of 200000 troops brought back by General Zhao is actually only 30000. The 30000 General Zhao did not bring back this time, but the 30000 General Zhao brought back the last time he returned to Beijing.

When he left Beijing, he didn't bring the 30000 people back to Hanyang, but led them out of several cities in a fake way and stayed in various prefectures in batches.

The remaining 180000 powerful troops, however, were just returning to Beijing along the way. Su Qian'an was asked to take the order issued by the emperor in advance, and the ravens followed him closely for protection and dispatched garrison troops from each city in turn.

This is all the way north, waving troops back to Beijing
