As night fell quietly, the Zhou army camp outside Chang'an City lit torches, like a fire dragon around the city, which was particularly spectacular.

After the palace coup, Wang Jian was named General of the Zuo Xiaogu, commanding the three thousand new troops, and was responsible for the defense of Mingdemen and Anhuamen. His original thousand subordinates were all taken away by Li Yuanji and adapted into Xuanwu Jingwei. Except for dozens of personal soldiers, the others were newly recruited. Li Yuanji recruited at a high price, mostly unemployed vagrants and gangsters near Chang'an.

This made Wang Zheng really smile bitterly. Li Yuanji used a new army with no combat power to defend the city, but placed all the elite troops in the palace and the imperial palace. What kind of strategy is this to defend the city?

However, Wang Zheng has solved the problem of insufficient manpower. Just now, more than 100 members of the Chang'an Intelligence Agency joined his team, giving him a total of 150 subordinates.

Although Wang Zheng could open the door to welcome Zhou's army into the city at any time, considering that it would trigger fierce street fighting, Zhang Xuan still felt that it was best to attack the heart first.

In the night, dozens of large baskets were hung up by ropes at the top of the city. The basket was filled with 50,000 copies of "Letters to the Military and Civilians of Chang'an". They were handwritten by Zhang Xuan and printed in woodblocks. This was prepared a few months ago and only works today.

One hundred thousand orders have to be distributed overnight, and the task is very arduous. However, the Chang'an Intelligence Agency has had the experience of distributing prophecies. They can use the huge community of beggars and hungry people in the city to distribute them together, so things will be much easier.

"The key point is the imperial city! At least ten thousand copies must be distributed"

Wang Zheng told the soldiers nodded and ran quickly with bamboo baskets, and their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In addition to some of the orders arranged and distributed by Wang Jia, there are 50,000 orders to be directly put into the city by Zhou army's giant trenchers. In addition to the three walls outside the South City, there are three giant trenchers standing in Chang'an. The soldiers were busy preparing, one by one, the iron balls filled with leaflets would bounce open in the air in the wind, and the orders inside would fly out.

In Xi Neiyuan outside the north city, there are four giant trenchers. On the one hand, the south wind blows tonight, which will have better projection effect in the north. On the other hand, the Xuanwu Jingwei and the Shence Army are mainly deployed in the palace and imperial city in the north.

Xi Neiyuan deployed 50,000 Zhou troops, led by Xu Shiji. At this time, the general Zhao Liang asked Xu Shiji in confusion: "General, why would the emperor say that the first surrender was Xuanwu Jingwei?"

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "The emperor's letter to the military and civilians clearly states that those who actively surrender can protect their wealth and avoid their crimes; if the city is broken, they will take all their money and hold them accountable. How many evils did these Xuanwu Jingwei commit and robbed them of ill-gotten wealth? What are they most afraid of, afraid of being guilty and losing money. So with this guarantee, will Xuanwu Jingwei still not rush to surrender?"

"So that's it, but it's too cheap for them."

Xu Shiji smiled faintly, "Let them surrender first, and the emperor also said that those who are extremely guilty will never be spared!"

At this time, a captain rushed to report: "Report to the general, the catapult is ready and can be launched at any time!"

Xu Shiji looked up at the wind direction, nodded and said, "Let's launch!"

"emission!"

At the command of the commander, four giant trenchers fired at the same time. Four large iron balls flew into the sky. Tens of thousands of Xuanwu Jingwei guards who were guarding the city exclaimed. The large iron balls bounced out in the air. Countless flyers flew towards the palace like snow. Many of them fell on the top of the city. The soldiers rushed to find the literate soldiers to read them.

"Your Majesty, the city is full of such orders, which has caused serious consequences, and soldiers have escaped."

Li Yuanji was stunned and immediately asked, "Did the Xuanwu Jingwei escape?"

Cui Wenxiang sighed in his heart. When this emperor is still here, he only has Xuanwu Jingwei. He shook his head, "Your Majesty, the most serious problem now is not the soldiers' escape. When the humble official has received the exact news, Li Shenfu is ready to lead the army out of the city to join Li Shentong."

Li Yuanji was furious and said, "I have given him all Concubine Yin. He is not satisfied yet. He still wants to betray me. I must kill him."

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to get rid of Li Shenfu and take his army."

"What strategy do you think?"

"Your Majesty can pretend to hand over the Xuanwu Jingwei to unified command. In order to gain military power, he will definitely come to see Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty can kill him directly and send his confidant to take over the Shen Ce Army."

Li Yuanji nodded. This method is good. It is not a husband without poison. Li Shenfu dared to ask himself that he wanted Concubine Yin, so he should have killed him long ago.

At this moment, an eunuch stumbled and said in horror: "Your Majesty, something is not good. Master Shang opened the Xuanwu Gate and led his army to surrender to the Zhou army. General Yu Shanqing also opened the back door of the Yeting Palace and led his army to surrender."

Li Yuanji stood up with a 'Ah!'. The news shocked him, but the disaster did not go singularly. Before he could ask how many people were left, another guard rushed over and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is not good. Li Shenfu launched a mutiny, and more than 10,000 troops surrounded Chengtian Gate and asked Your Majesty to see him."

Cui Wenxiang's face turned pale. He should have thought that Li Shenfu's army could not rush out, so he could only capture Li Yuanji and surrender.
