Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1642 Chaos
The old man stared at the flickering candles with cloudy eyes, and it seemed that the tragic war in Dulongling 40 years ago appeared in front of his eyes. under the sword.

It was a brutal killing. Even after 40 years passed, the picture of that scene was still clearly engraved in his mind. The withered mountains were stained red with blood, and the corpses of Paoze were all over the mountains...

Don't dare or forget for a moment.

40 years are fleeting, the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty wiped out everything for a while, watching the chaos in the Central Plains, the great cause he had planned before the time was ripe, the Sui Dynasty collapsed, and then he was buried in the scorched earth and ruins. , a more powerful Tang Dynasty suddenly stood up...

Life is seventy years old, and he is 78 years old this year. If he misses the present, will he still have a chance to fight for the great cause of restoration in the rest of his dying years?

Whether he succeeds or loses, if he can't stand up to fight against the heavens and die, how can he have the face to meet those brothers Paoze, and how can he have the face to meet that indomitable father?

In the worst case, let the only remaining blood of Wanchun Kingdom be buried with him...

But even if it is death, he will fight for the last one!
After decades of planning, this land is full of his confidantes, is it still unbearable to fight? !

The white-faced and beardless middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the words. He didn't know that the old man had already made a decisive decision in his heart, and said anxiously: "Sir, absolutely not! How can the great cause of restoration be sheltered by luck? We will take advantage of the Tang army's unpreparedness, Raiding the city is naturally easy, but once the Tang army sends troops to help, how can it stand it? We can't bet that the Tang people will give up the land of Annan on their own initiative!"

Just kidding!
As long as the Tang army continues to come from Panyu, where is the chance of winning?

Even if you have been preparing for the restoration for many years, tens of thousands of people will be pulled out with a wave of arms. However, these mobs lacking weapons and training, facing the elite Tang army who is well equipped and sweeping the princes from all walks of life, I am afraid that they will be defeated in one charge. ...

Isn't this just playing with human life?
Before the old man could speak, the middle-aged man with a long and narrow face said in disdain: "You bastard! Since ancient times, whoever has achieved great things has not escaped death and risked his life to achieve hegemony? There is no such thing as perfection, and opportunities will always accompany you." Given the existence of risks, how can we complete the great cause of restoration if we dare not take risks?"

The white-faced and needless middle-aged man was unwilling to give up, and sighed: "But even if it is a risk, the risk is too great! The majesty of the Tang Dynasty is majestic, coveting the land of Goguryeo and wanting to include it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Now But we want to pull a tooth out of his jaws and split Annan apart..."

"It is precisely because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to point his sword at Goguryeo. This is a golden opportunity for us. If it were normal, maybe the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would send troops to exterminate us even for the sake of face, but now the entire Tang Dynasty is fighting hard. Sharpening his sword and preparing for the Eastern Expedition, at this juncture, as long as we don't announce the restoration for the time being, and submit to surrender in time, he will not be distracted to deal with us...How can Annan, who is just like the conquering Central Plains Dynasty, never win? Compared with the great achievements of Goguryeo in the future?"

"..."

The white-faced and beardless middle-aged man opened his mouth and found himself speechless.

These words really make a little sense...

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with a long and narrow face in satisfaction, and said gently: "In this case, let's start preparations immediately. As soon as the time comes, we will use our weapons and weapons to capture Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion first, then occupy the entire Songping County, and then sweep the Annan, restore the Wanchun Kingdom!"

"Here!"

The two confidantes got up and promised, and bowed to the ground.

The old man raised his head slightly, his gaze passed through the open window, and he stared at the vast and dark night sky, his cloudy eyeballs ignited a fiery flame!
If the great cause in my heart has not been accomplished in a day, how can I enjoy life, and why should I fear death?
*****
The night was dark.

Shrouded in the thick night, Singapura City looked exceptionally quiet.

"Da da da"

A sound of orderly footsteps resounded on the silent long street, and figures of people entered through the open west city gate and headed straight for the palace.

In front of the gate of the palace, the soldiers guarding the gate were alarmed by the sound of dull footsteps. They lay down on the gate tower and looked down. However, the night was as black as night without stars and moon, and everything they saw was chaotic, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

"what happened?!"

Someone asked in surprise.

During this period of time, the entire city of Sanghapra was in a state of turmoil. The robbery and murder of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty in Da Nang caused a lot of noise. Almost all the troops of the Tang Dynasty came out to arrest suspects everywhere. They were arrested, and it is unknown how many of them were missing and how many were killed...

It is said that the hills to the south of Da Nang have long been stained red with the blood of Linyi people, and headless corpses are everywhere...

This time, Datang completely retaliated like crazy, and the dignified nobles were killed. What kind of humiliation is this?The proud Tang people couldn't bear it, and it was inevitable that large-scale involvement would be affected.

Everyone was worried, wondering if Datang would go crazy to the end, march the army into Sangapura City, and wipe out all the nobles of Linyi...

"Who knows? Could it be Tang Jun who came in?"

"Probably not. Even if the soldiers guarding the city gate can't stop the Tang army, they should make a little noise, right?"

"That's not certain. The Tang army is powerful. Whoever stands in the front is not looking for death? Maybe those guarding the city gate will open the city and surrender as soon as the Tang army arrives..."

"Gudong..."

Someone swallowed a mouthful of spit and asked nervously, "Well... if it's really Tang Jun, shall we fight to the death, or... that..."

After all, this is where the gate guarding the palace is located, and it is a bit too much to talk about the word "surrender" openly.

But even if these two words are not spoken, how can anyone not understand the meaning?
For a moment, the soldiers on the gate tower fell into silence, each with their own thoughts, and kept silent...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the dull sound gradually resounded throughout the area, like a burst of thunder, overwhelming the soldiers on the gate tower, staring ahead with their eyes wide open.

A leader looked nervously at the darkness in front of him, and ordered: "Quickly go to the people, report in the palace, and say that something unknown has happened, and if you find something later, report it later!"

"Here!"

A soldier responded and said, "Young one, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the steps to the gate, but he did not go to the palace, but turned a corner, taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers at the gate were not paying attention, he ducked into the dark city gate...

In the darkness, figures suddenly appeared, like ghosts appearing in the hell, with terrifying coercion!

The leader of the soldiers on the gate tower swallowed and asked loudly, "Who is here?"

The dull footsteps still did not stop, and the figures were approaching the gatehouse like a tide.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, the leader of the soldiers shouted in a sharp voice: "Hurry up and stop! This is the forbidden area of ​​the royal palace, and idlers are not allowed to approach, otherwise, there will be no mercy!"

It seemed that the "kill without mercy" had an effect, the sound of footsteps stopped immediately, and a black figure stepped out from the crowd, striding towards the gatehouse.

After a while, the black shadow stood within a stone's throw of the gatehouse, and said loudly: "This is the great general Jiadu!"

This person's voice was strong and heavy, and it could be heard far away in the stillness of the night.

The whole heart of the soldier leader was trembling, and he asked conscientiously: "Dare to ask the general what happened, why did you lead the army to the palace late at night?"

That's the way to ask, but my heart is already scared to death...

Reminiscent of the recent rumors in Linyi that "the king has no virtue, he will change his position", he knows in his heart that this general Jiadu, who commands the country's troops and horses, is probably going to rebel, right?

Jia Du stood in front of the gate tower, Linyi's rare majestic figure was like Yuan Ting Yuezhi, and said loudly: "The Tang army has assembled in Da Nang, intending to attack the king's city by force and harm the king. A certain has gathered all the troops in the king's city to come to the palace to serve the king. Escort, please open the city gate as quickly as possible, someone wants to enter the palace to discuss with the king how to retreat the enemy, if you delay the military situation, you will be killed!"

Where does the leader of the gatekeepers not understand?
This General Jiadu really rebelled...

How to do?
Can the city gate be opened?

No, how can a few people like myself resist the strong attack led by Lin Yiguo's number one warrior?
Open, how can I be worthy of the trust of the king...

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and was about to open his mouth when he heard a "squeak" sound, which was extremely clear and piercing in the middle of the night.

The leader of the soldiers was taken aback, and then his face turned pale. He saw Jia Du holding his arms high above the city, and behind him, thousands of soldiers poured into the palace like a tide, shouting loudly!
The city gate was actually opened from the inside...
