Outside Chang'an City, Li Jing's army camp.

Everything was ready, Li Jing ordered a full-scale attack, the artillery entered the position, ready to bombard Chang'an City.

Looking at the dark outside the city, the defenders on Chang'an City were so nervous.

Just at this intensive time, Yue Yun came to Li Jing and said:

"Otsukazuna, our soldiers caught a detailed work, saying that the nobles in the city sent him to deliver a letter, which could help Otsukazuna seize the city!"

Li Jing heard that there was no expression behind him. With his strength, he still needed the help of the anti-bone boy in the city?

It is not easy to directly bombard the city wall with cannons, and the army marched straight into it, and to capture Chang'an City.

However, it is not bad to be able to defeat Chang'an City without bloodshed!

There will be no casualties in our own soldiers, the city will not be destroyed, and the people will not be hurt. This is undoubtedly a good thing!

In the future, the Tang Dynasty belongs to him, Li Jing, and the subjects of the Tang Dynasty are naturally also his subjects. How could he let his subjects be hurt?

"Bring the person over, let me see what he wants to say?"

Yue Yun took the order and turned around and waved to the distance. Two soldiers rushed over with a man in linen clothes.

"This is our Otsukakuya. I won't be able to salute you when I see Otsukakuya!"

Yue Yun scolded.

The man hurriedly knelt down and crossed his hands and said, "The villain has seen Otsukasaku!"

"Who sent you here? Why?"

Li Jing asked.

"My master's surname is Cui Huiyuanzong. I will come to deliver a letter to Otsukazai on the order of my master!"

The servant of the Cui family took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

The personal guards on the side came forward to take it, turned around and handed it over to Li Jing.

Cui Yuanzong, isn’t this the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty! Cui Yuanzong is not the prime minister now, but a little official.

Li Jing took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. Cui Yuanzong said in the letter that after the five surnames and Qiwang, he had joined forces with all the nobles in the city to reach an agreement and was willing to help Li Jing seize Chang'an.

The prerequisite is that they cannot harm their interests. As for what they can't bear to suffer from, etc., it is nonsense. Protecting their interests is the most important thing, and this is why they will help Li Jing.

Li Jing naturally would not object to such a request. His current enemies are Wu Zetian and the Wu clan, and there is no conflict of interest with the aristocratic group headed by the five surnames and Qiwang.

As long as they can help him successfully seize Chang'an without any bloodshed, there is no reason not to accept it.

"When you go back, tell your master that I have agreed to all his conditions and give him three days. If they can't take down Wu Zhao and the Wu clan in three days, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, if Otsukasaki, the villain will definitely bring it!"

Cui Yuanzong's servant responded, and Li Jing asked Yue Yun to send him away.

Cui Yuanzong's servant just stood up, and the first round of bombardment officially unfolded. Cui Yuanzong's servant was so scared that his whole body was limp and he fell to the ground, trembling all over!

Li Jing showed a look of contempt and asked the messenger to send orders, ordering the artillery to stop the artillery bombing Chang'an City.

Now if there are soldiers without bloodshed, you can take down Chang'an City. There is no need to waste the ammunition of cannons. Besides, if the city wall is destroyed, you have to pay for repairs. There is no need to waste this money.

After seeing off Cui Yuanzong's servant, Li Jing ordered the entire army to retreat three miles, waiting for the nobles in the city to rebel, and then send troops to capture Chang'an City!

Without the roar of cannons, the defenders at the city came out of the bunker. When they found the rebels retreated, they immediately cheered and thanked God for their blessings.

After learning that the rebels were retreating three miles away, the fearful nobles in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

The nobles headed by the five surnames and seven hopes began to live, and tried their best to seize control of Chang'an City within three days.

Only in this way can they successfully open the city gate and put in more than 100,000 troops outside the city.

Chang'an City, Daming Palace, and Zichen Hall.

Wu Zetian summoned Wu Sansi, Lou Shide and others to discuss why Li Jing did not continue to attack, but suddenly retreated three miles?

Wu Zetian thought this was very strange!

"The rebels outside the city suddenly retreated. What the hell is Li Jing doing?"

Wu Zetian said coldly.

"The God Emperor is so powerful that the rebel Li Jing dares..."

The others pondered that Wu Youzhi was the first to speak, and he started to speak with a rainbow fart.

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense, now I just want to hear something useful!"

Wu Zetian was furious and shouted loudly.

Although the rainbow fart sounds comfortable, it is now a critical moment of life and death. Wu Zetian is still in the mood to listen to someone else's slap in her rainbow fart. Now she can defeat the rebels.

After being scolded, Wu Youzhi obediently retreated.

"I guess it's very likely that there are rebels' internal supporters in the city. The reason why the rebels retreated was probably because they reached some kind of unspeakable consensus with the inner supporters in the city."

"The rebels will help the rebels seize Chang'an at critical moments. The rebels retreat is likely to numb us and let us relax our guards. The purpose is to enable the rebels to act better in the city!"

Lou Shide said.

"What Lou Aiqing said is not without reason. Do you have any other opinions?"

Wu Zetian asked the truth, and the possibility that Lou Shide mentioned was not ruled out.

"Divine Emperor!" The cruel official Zhou Xing hurriedly said: "I think that the five surnames and seven hopes, and other nobles may be the inner responders of the rebel Li Jing."

Wu Zetian looked back at Zhou Xing and said, "Why did you say this? Why do you think this matter is related to the nobles?"

"The nobles of the aristocrats have always had a lot of complaints about the God Emperor's rule of the world. This time they eliminated the five surnames of Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang, and had been with the rebel Li Zhen and his son.

Li Yuangui and his son have many contacts."

"Wei Xuantong is Pei Yan's clique. He privately talks with people that the empress dowager is old, and it will be better to support Sijun for a longer time."

"There are many nobles who collude with traitors like Wei Xuantong. Please investigate these nobles thoroughly!"

Zhou Xing bowed and said.

Zhou Xing, who was humble from a background, was full of hatred for the nobles. Whenever he had the chance, he would immediately retaliate, and his methods were extremely cruel.

Wei Xuantong once offended Zhou Xing, but Zhou Xing, who was narrow-minded, naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity!

Regarding Zhou Xing's analysis, Wu Zetian knew in her heart that Zhou Xing took this opportunity to falsely accuse Wei Xuantong, but what did that matter? She had long seen that these nobles were unhappy for a long time.

Although Zhou Xing may have falsely accused others, it cannot be ruled out that what Zhou Xing said was wrong. Who can guarantee that these nobles did not stumbling behind their backs?

"Zhou Xing, I will leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly. Once it is found that the nobles have connections with the thief, they will be executed immediately. Since Wei Xuantong is so dissatisfied with me, let him slaughter himself!"

Wu Zetian said.

"I will definitely not let down the high expectations of the God Emperor!"
