My wife is Invincible East

Zhu Moye didn't need to explain this to them. Should he say that he had been preparing for this moment long ago? For this opportunity, Zhu Moye had waited for a full six months, and these plans had already begun.

Of course, there was no need to tell these words to the people in front of him. If it were any other time, Zhu Moye would probably have been willing to explain a few things to them.

But at this point, Zhu Moye was too lazy to say more. It was naturally great that these people were willing to surrender, and for those who were unwilling to surrender, Zhu Moye did not say much. He just kept sending his men to lobby. If Li Shimin knew about such a huge scandal that could confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, he would probably be furious.

Moreover, Zhu Moye was holding a lot of secret reports at the time, and these ministers, with guilty consciences, had no choice but to submit and follow Zhu Moye. Although Zhu Moye's uprising was based on the slogan of "clearing the court of corrupt officials", in reality, few people in high positions knew what he was thinking.

It’s just that no one has said it out loud. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Everything will be revealed by the final result.

What no one expected was that Zhu Moye's performance really surprised many people. Not only was he able to integrate from scratch enough military forces to make Li Shimin pay attention and even feel a major threat, but he also had the energy to obtain so much food and grass. With such a strong army, Zhu Moye had a chance of victory.

This is what everyone thinks. In fact, it is precisely because of Zhu Moye's powerful strength that more and more ministers have surrendered to him in recent days.

Zhu Moye knew what these people were thinking, but he turned a blind eye. At this time, if he had one more person, Li Shimin would have one less person.

Under such circumstances, even if some people came to surrender at this time, Zhu Moye accepted them all. Anyway, at this time, he had more people on his side, and if Li Shimin found out, he would just go crazy.

Zhu Moye's military force was so powerful that even Li Shimin had to feel a tremendous amount of pressure under such circumstances.

Until this point, Li Shimin still held the idea that he would not believe that his dynasty would be overthrown. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the emperor who was going to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty. How could he fail here?

But unfortunately, in comparison, Zhu Moye is more cunning and more experienced than him.

Many times, even Li Shimin was deeply moved by the methods Zhu Moye displayed. In the past, Li Shimin had wondered if he was too suspicious of Zhu Moye, after all, Zhu Moye was too young. Sometimes, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering if he was getting timid, and even such a young boy was afraid of him.

But it is obvious that only when Li Shimin really faced Zhu Moye could he understand how powerful Zhu Moye was, like at this moment.

As Li Shimin fought against Zhu Moye step by step, he was defeated and retreated until he had no place to retreat.

Banners fluttered beneath the walls of Chang'an. This was the Tang Dynasty's capital, a prosperous trading hub yearned for by countless Tang citizens. In this era, it represented the world's most advanced economy. Li Shimin, the master of this city and this nation, sat high atop the Dragon Throne. He didn't finally ascend the city walls until Zhu Moye had already approached Chang'an.

Looking at the man on the city wall who was protected by many guards, Zhu Moye's face was indifferent. He did not feel much apology towards Li Shimin.

It's important to note that in Zhu Moye's memory, after arriving in this dynasty, he had been very law-abiding. At the very least, he hadn't caused any trouble in many places. Well, although the disturbance in the underworld seemed to be a big deal, it had nothing to do with the world of the living.

Li Shimin appointed him as a general, and Zhu Moye also conquered many people, but even so, he never thought of becoming an emperor. After all, being an emperor is still a tiring thing, and changing dynasties under such circumstances is a headache just thinking about it.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye still maintained a somewhat lazy mindset, but based on his cautious instinct, he made friends with more court officials, and then, according to his habit, collected some fatal handles on the officials.

It was later proved that it was these little habits that brought Zhu Moye little by little advantages in the future, and it was these little by little advantages that came together and finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Shimin still maintained some of the spirit of a heroic leader. Although his army had been defeated repeatedly, it seemed to him that it didn't matter at all. This magnanimity alone was enough to make people feel impressed. Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen this young man before.

The scene of Li Shimin and Zhu Moye dining together in the palace that day seemed still vivid in his mind, but the change of positions between the two was a little too fast.

Chapter 570: The Army Under Chang'an City

What Li Shimin didn't expect was that the enemy's use of troops in battle was simply as if assisted by God, so that he, who originally had the advantage in military strength, was gradually suppressed to the point of being at a disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin really felt helpless at this time. In other words, if it were in such a situation, it is hard to say what Li Shimin would feel at this time.

After all, not everyone can accept the situation where their former courtiers now rise up on their own and attack.

Being able to see Zhu Moye fight to the foot of Chang'an City is truly a rare sight that others rarely see: "Traitor."

Traitor and traitor were the words Li Shimin most wanted to call Zhu Moye, but when Zhu Moye heard it, he just gave him a cold smile.

Zhu Moye had never expected Li Shimin to surrender, so when he saw him, he had already prepared himself mentally. However, when he really saw him, Zhu Moye was still a little dazed. Apart from anything else, at the beginning, the emperor still admired and trusted him very much, but there was no way, serving the emperor was like serving a tiger.

As Zhu Moye's achievements grew and his reputation among the people became higher and higher, it was only to be expected that he would attract the emperor's attention.

It was precisely this situation that made Zhu Moye understand very clearly that no matter what, Li Shimin would not tolerate him for too long. Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye was not someone who would sit and wait for death, so naturally he had to rise up in resistance.

However, after hearing what Li Shimin said on the city wall, Zhu Moye's smile became even more disdainful: "Do you know that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit?"

"..." Li Shimin and his ministers had been thinking about these words for a long time. They had never imagined that Zhu Moye's fighting ability would be so strong. The several lines of troops originally deployed could not stop Zhu Moye. However, under such circumstances, Zhu Moye won victory after victory as if assisted by God, and even reached Chang'an City in one go.

Under such circumstances, even Li Shimin and others had to panic. Although Zhangsun Wuji was still alive at this time, he was not particularly outstanding in this regard. He could only let Li Shimin put a big hat on Zhu Moye based on the slogans Zhu Moye had been shouting before.

The four words "traitor" and "rebel" are not easy to deal with, but when they came into Zhu Moye's mouth, they became a phrase "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit", which immediately made Li Shimin speechless.

Obviously, Zhu Moye's attitude at this time couldn't be more clear. An emperor like Li Shimin must be a smart man, how could he not understand? Zhu Moye's meaning was very clear, that is, to let him come down and fight to the death. The winner will be the king and the loser will naturally have no complaints.

But for Li Shimin, this was too unworthy. In his eyes, he was the emperor.

Zhu Moye was a court official. Is it appropriate for the emperor and his court officials to fight on the battlefield in person?

It was precisely for this reason that when Zhu Moye's frank and natural words about the victors being kings and the losers being bandits came out, Li Shimin on the city wall was unable to respond immediately, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Zhu Moye also noticed the hesitation in Li Shimin's heart at this time, and couldn't help but smile a little more. After so many years, Li Shimin was no longer the Li Erlang of the past. In other words, even the Li Shimin who had just ascended the throne was no longer the same.

Otherwise, he would not tolerate Zhu Moye.

"Those who can't even win and lose are not qualified to talk to me." Zhu Moye said coldly, turned his horse around, returned to the front of the army, and waved his hand one last time: "Attack the city."

During this period of time, Zhu Moye had more and more soldiers under his command. With sufficient manpower, he no longer needed to worry about these losses. Speaking of which, Zhu Moye was more concerned about the extent of the war he had started this time, but now it seemed that it was not as big as he had imagined.

As long as we finish the battle here quickly, then the rest of the things will be easier.

While attacking the city, Zhu Moye was still filtering through his mind what to do next.

"General, it's raining. I'm afraid we have to suspend the siege today." Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, a man hurried over and said.

"Raining?" Zhu Moye was finally brought back to his senses after hearing his subordinates' words. He then remembered that he still had to take the weather into consideration. So he waved his hand in boredom and said, "Give the order to stop the siege. Let's have a good rest today."

"Yes." The person who originally told the news was immediately overjoyed and left after receiving the order. On such a day, even the bravest soldiers did not want to attack the city. After all, rain meant that the siege would become more and more difficult.

Under such circumstances, no one would think of seeking death. Under such circumstances, it is really the best that Zhu Moye is willing to retreat.

"It's raining." Only Zhu Moye raised his hand and touched his cheek after the other party left. The cold feeling in his palm immediately brought Zhu Moye back to reality.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Zhu Moye couldn't help but frown. Compared with the siege here, the crisis above his head was something he was about to solve.

Zhu Moye has never forgotten the misfortunes he encountered when he first arrived in this world of Journey to the West.

In order to protect himself and vent his anger, Zhu Moye made a big fuss in the underworld and did things that were even more daring than the Monkey King back then.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye knew very well that after he left, the King of Hell in the underworld would definitely go to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint.

The Monkey King had once attracted 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Zhu Moye thought that the number of heavenly soldiers and generals he attracted would definitely not be less than that. In comparison, the battle between these humans in front of him was nothing.

Chapter 571 Siege

"Li Shimin." Zhu Moye whispered the name again, just like before, but this time, his face looked even more expressionless.

According to common sense, under normal circumstances, even when attacking a city, people would be given some time to rest. However, for Zhu Moye at this time, this was not the case at all.

There was even a bit of recklessness in his air. When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped the next day, Zhu Moye immediately sent people to prepare for the siege.

Poor soldiers in Chang'an City, in order to protect the emperor, they had to get up and fight after only a few hours of rest. In fact, what was even more tragic was that they didn't even have the chance to sleep for these few hours.

"Zhu Moye's offensive is too powerful. We are running out of food in the city." At this moment, most of the court officials in the palace were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye did not have many concerns at this time. He knew very well that his biggest enemy now was the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court. In comparison, he could not waste any more time on Li Shimin.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Moye launched the offensive regardless of everything. Zhu Moye even thought that if the trenches were not enough, he would fill them with human lives.

Such a ruthless act, after being spread, caused a round of gasps from people, and people finally got a taste of Zhu Moye's methods. This seemingly young boy in front of him was able to win every battle, and it seemed that he was not completely without any skills.

If other people were here, they wouldn't know what to think at this moment, but in this situation, they also knew very well that Zhu Moye wanted this victory, and naturally there were countless soldiers fighting for him. Under Zhu Moye's brainwashing these days, most people have accepted those words, and the royal power must be respected.

But the person sitting on the throne does not necessarily have to be Li Shimin.

At least, according to Zhu Moye's description, the only thing left for people towards Li Shimin was disgust. It was really miserable for an emperor to be in such a state.

The evil Li Shimin was not willing to accept the letter of surrender handed to him by Zhu Moye. He had only one idea in his mind, that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It was impossible for Zhu Moye to make him surrender.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Moye said nothing after learning the news. He just nodded lightly: "I understand, you can go down."

This siege lasted only a few days. At this time, Zhu Moye knew very well that if the siege continued at this pace, apart from anything else, the Chang'an City in front of him could be said to be the largest city of that era.

If this pace continues, it might be possible to drag it out for another month or so, but Zhu Moye can't think about that at this moment. Zhu Moye has to take into account the post-war comfort work and the time for recuperation.

But at this point, if Li Shimin continued to drag things out at this pace, it was unclear when he would be able to capture Chang'an City.

Now Li Shimin was waiting for reinforcements, but Zhu Moye knew that time could not be delayed any longer, so he finally sounded the clarion call for a general attack.

Under such circumstances, what could Li Shimin do? There was indeed an indelible gap between his military strength and Zhu Moye's. If Li Shimin had regarded Zhu Moye as his opponent at the beginning and personally fought against Zhu Moye, it would have been fine.

But at that time, Li Shimin did not take Zhu Moye seriously. Perhaps it was because of this situation that Zhu Moye was given the opportunity to take advantage of him.

As the saying goes, even a single spark can start a prairie fire, let alone Zhu Moye. When Li Shimin looked down on him, Zhu Moye seized the opportunity to develop his own power, and at the same time he kept trying to promote his confidants to further expand his power.

Li Shimin didn't take it to heart at that time. After all, as a general, it was normal to place a few of his confidants in his army.

It was impossible for Li Shimin to take such a small matter to heart. In fact, it was only at this moment when Li Shimin recalled it that he realized it with horror.

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhu Moye was probably weaving an invisible spider web, and now it was time for Zhu Moye to close the web step by step. After Zhu Moye launched the general attack, the pressure on Chang'an City doubled, and they were already at the end of their strength.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Shimin had governed the city fairly well over the years, perhaps the people and soldiers in Chang'an would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, in the face of absolute strength, these so-called persistences are still things that can collapse easily.

Especially in such a situation, everyone could only hold on, but Zhu Moye was determined to deploy troops. Since he had decided to break the city today, he must find a way to break Chang'an City today.

Fortunately, the weather today has been very kind to Zhu Moye, with beautiful weather and gentle breezes. In such weather, the soldiers in front of him, under Zhu Moye's generous reward, were even more selfless.

In such an era, a human life still has a price, and being able to secure a good background for one's descendants can drive countless people crazy.

Seeing these people's fearless and fearless behavior, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel scared. At this time, he couldn't sit still in the palace anymore, especially when he knew that the war situation was already very tense.

Regardless of what was said, Li Shimin was still the most respected emperor of this era. When he reached the top of the city wall, he still brought some support to the crowd...

Chapter 572: Siege of Chang'an

It was under such circumstances that everyone seemed to be full of energy, so much so that even Zhu Moye's soldiers could not move forward at this time.

But it was obvious that after seeing this scene, Zhu Moye immediately came up with the idea of ​​a bounty. Well, it wasn't the so-called gold or silver, but the protected status of his descendants. Such a thing was enough to drive anyone crazy. Who wouldn't worry about how their descendants and family would live after their death? Zhu Moye's words gave them the greatest guarantee.

It was precisely because of these people's fearlessness that the sturdy walls of Chang'an City finally began to crumble and collapsed under the gaze of Li Shimin that afternoon.

Even though Li Shimin wanted to make a great promise, unfortunately, this thing had already been used by others, and when it came to him, it became useless.

Seeing the walls of Chang'an City collapse, Zhu Moye's expression did not relax at all. He knew very well that at this time, Li Shimin must be captured, otherwise the battle would not be considered a victory.

After all, he was not in a legitimate position. Although his slogan was to purge the court, under such circumstances, Zhu Moye had to capture Li Shimin, otherwise the battle would be in vain.

"Whoever captures Li Shimin will be promoted three levels and rewarded with 10,000 gold coins. Civilians can also be granted official positions." Looking at the scene ahead, Zhu Moye offered a gamble that was enough to make everyone jealous. At this point, everyone was at loggerheads.

After hearing Zhu Moye's price, many people naturally rushed forward one after another, trying to catch Li Shimin in front of them.

Li Shimin was accompanied by many guards, and with their protection, he managed to escape into the palace.

"Surround this palace and don't let even a bird out." Zhu Moye gave an order, and the palace was immediately surrounded.

Even Li Shimin, the great and powerful emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to fall silent in the face of such a predicament. The interior of the imperial palace was already in ruins. The eunuchs and palace maids had already been in a state of panic during the siege of Chang'an. When the city fell, they had already packed up their belongings and fled. The vast and magnificent imperial palace now looked so desolate. No wonder Li Shimin felt a sense of desolation.

Chang'an City was under siege, and now it was the turn of the imperial palace to be besieged. The true dragon emperor who had always been able to soar above the nine heavens was now trapped here.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of unwillingness. After all, he was still the Li Erlang of the past. Even in such a desperate situation, he still found a way to organize a force and wanted to rush out.

At this point, Li Shimin thought it through. Since he was already in this situation, as long as he could survive, he would be able to make a comeback.

It has to be said that Li Shimin thought very clearly, and even at such a desperate moment, Li Shimin could still cheer up and make such an analysis for himself, which is really admirable.

However, it is a pity that even if this is the case, if Zhu Moye knew it at this moment, he would not be able to help but sigh.

If Li Shimin could have put on this desperate attitude from the beginning, it would not have been so easy for him to win. At this time, Li Shimin only thought of burning his boats, but it was too late.

"Your Majesty." Just when Li Shimin was about to make a final desperate effort, a figure suddenly walked in from outside.

The slender figure, handsome face, and calm and elegant demeanor were all very familiar to Li Shimin. This was the Zhu Moye who had made him grit his teeth and unable to sleep in the past few days.

"How dare you show up here? Do you really think there is no one left in my Tang Dynasty?" Seeing Zhu Moye in front of him, Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking about at this time, and said with gritted teeth.

"Are you talking about these guards?" Zhu Moye turned slightly to the side, and Li Shimin looked closely. A loud thunder struck in the sky at some point. The rumbling thunder, along with a lightning dragon, cut through the dark night and illuminated the road behind Zhu Moye.

After taking a closer look, Li Shimin realized that the crooked figures behind Zhu Moye were none other than the guards he had prepared earlier.

Unexpectedly, the last remaining forces in the palace were all defeated here. Zhu Moye clearly had no sword in his hand, so how could he kill these guards silently? Li Shimin clearly remembered that these people had not even uttered a scream before, and had died here silently.

Looking at Zhu Moye walking towards him step by step, Li Shimin suddenly felt a bit of fear in his heart: "Who are you?!"

"Who am I? I am the traitor you mentioned." Zhu Moye had a natural smile on his face. Even though the person in front of him was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in Zhu Moye's eyes, he was no different from an ordinary person. Even when he was talking to Li Shimin, Zhu Moye's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.

Li Shimin's mood suddenly calmed down. At this point, the last bit of strength in his hands was also slaughtered by Zhu Moye without hesitation. The man in front of him was decisive and ruthless, even more so than himself in the past. In this regard, even Li Shimin had to recognize the gap between the two.

At this moment, looking at the smile on Zhu Moye's face, Li Shimin remembered why he had always felt deeply uneasy about Zhu Moye.

Perhaps it was because of the smile on Zhu Moye's face that Li Shimin always felt that he did not respect him as a monarch, and Zhu Moye's words just now further confirmed Li Shimin's seemingly unrealistic guess: "Who are you?"
