Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3503 The Future Is Uncertain

Changsun Wuji sat in the main hall of Yanshoufang, watching the clerks coming and going to collect information and deliver orders, and only rely on pots of strong tea until dawn.

Feeling stuffy at the end, I got up and went to the window and pushed it open. A gust of cold wind wrapped in snowflakes hit me head-on, refreshing my spirits.Outside the window, the morning sun under the cloudy sky tried its best to reveal a fish-belly light in the wind and snow, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clear.

The snow still hasn't stopped.

Outside this shop is the main street. Teams of soldiers in full armor with spears and spears and horizontal knives patrolled back and forth to ensure the safety of the place, leaving footprints on the street.

A fast horse galloped in from the gate of the square, got off the horse in front of the gate, and galloped into the hall.

Changsun Wuji frowned with gray eyebrows, closed the window deeply, turned back to the desk and sat down, and saw that person rushing to the front, bowed to salute, and said respectfully: "Patriarch, before dawn, Qiao Guogong has already led the Zuo Tunwei under his command to set up troops outside the Xuanwu Gate, and took the lead in attacking the right camp of the Tunwei."

Changsun Wuji's frowning eyebrows instantly raised, his eyes sparkled, and he clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, it's good news!"

Before raising troops, Changsun Wuji believed that the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace were nothing to fear, as long as the tens of thousands of troops from various families in Guanlong successfully entered the city, they would surely be able to break through the imperial city and determine the overall situation.For this reason, he even did not hesitate to hide himself. Even though he had returned to Chang'an, he still threw out Changsun Chong and Hou Mo Chen Qianhui in an attempt to disrupt the East Palace's strategy.In fact, it did work. At one point, Dong Gong felt that he had completely controlled the situation. As a result, he secretly planned everything and promoted the mutiny.

The sudden mutiny was completely beyond Donggong's expectations, and the effect was very good, allowing the troops of various families in Guanlong to enter Chang'an smoothly and besiege the imperial city.

It seemed that victory was within reach.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. The strength of Donggong Liuzhao was far beyond his expectations. These newly formed troops were called elites. Facing an enemy several times stronger than his own, they defended the imperial city and did not lose at all. This made Changsun Wuji quickly The attempt to capture the imperial city and dethrone the East Palace failed completely.

Even when the various families in Guanlong continued to send more troops to besiege the imperial city, they still defended the imperial city as if it were solid.

Of course, no matter how powerful the East Palace Six Rates were, they were trapped in the imperial city and lost their supplementary power. As long as they were worn down slowly, they would be defeated sooner or later.

But how long is this "sooner or later"?This is indeed no one expected.And time is extremely beneficial to the Eastern Palace. As long as the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns to Guanzhong, with the consistent support of Li Ji and others for the Eastern Palace, they will definitely support the crown prince to ascend the throne. Either resist tenaciously and be slaughtered, or die down and try to deal with the aftermath.

There is no chance of victory...

Therefore, the sooner the imperial city is captured, the better the situation will be for the Guanlong families. Otherwise, the situation will be bad and there will be many dangers.

At this time, the change in the battle situation is not in the Guanlong army that is besieging the imperial city, which is impossible to attack, but in the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city, which tightly controls the gate of the Forbidden Palace. Chai Zhewei, who is in charge of the most powerful army outside the Xuanwu Gate, has become the key to the battle situation. .

Although he had personally rushed to Zuo Tunwei Daying to know his interests and win him over, Changsun Wuji also knew that King Jing Li Yuanjing had been flirting with Chai Zhewei.

Fortunately, Chai Zhewei finally raised his troops. Obviously, he went to win Qi in person before and it worked...

……

However, Changsun Wuji was full of joy, but the scout said: "...At the end of the day, we will see an army of more than [-] people joining forces with the Zuo Tunwei, and most of them are householders and servants from various royal estates."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback: "You read that right?"

The scout said: "There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Normally, our eldest grandson's family has a lot of contact with various Huangzhuangs. Some fiefs even live next to each other. The households and servants of each family also have some contacts in private, so they are familiar with each other."

Even Changsun Wuji's city mansion couldn't sit still at this moment, he slapped the table angrily, and cursed angrily: "Shameless Chai Zhewei, my old man will definitely not give up with you!"

Originally, the troops of the Zuo Tunwei were far superior to the Right Tunwei. Even the Beiya Guards stationed at Xuanwu Gate were far inferior. As long as Chai Zhewei raised troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, there would be a high probability that they would successfully capture Xuanwu Gate.Those royal troops must be under the command of King Jing Li Yuanjing. Now that the two armies are in one place, Chai Zhewei has added more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the capture of Xuanwumen is even more certain.

Once Chai Zhewei captured the Xuanwu Gate and drove straight into the palace, Li Yuanjing could depose the East Palace in the name of "the longest among the princes", and then seized the power of supervising the country, ordering the soldiers and horses of the world to suppress the "rebellion" of various families in Guanlong. The name is right.

At that time, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to drive Li Yuanjing away.

The scribes and disciples in the hall were busy with the tasks at hand. They didn't feel too sleepy after a night of sleepless nights. After all, they were able to personally participate in such a major event that would affect the future of each family in Guanlong for the next hundred years. , can be regarded as a rich qualifications.

But Qiqi was taken aback by Changsun Wuji's scolding...

Many people turned their heads to look at the furious Changsun Wuji in astonishment, in bewilderment.For a long time, Changsun Wuji has been known for being deep in the city, and what he shows in front of others is a kind of demeanor that is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and does not change his face. color.

Such a loss of composure at this moment, but I don't know what kind of news it is...

Changsun Wuji is also aware of his gaffe. He is now the core of all Guanlong families, and his every move involves the interests of countless people. If his gaffe leads to low morale, or even has his own scheming, then he will be in great trouble. up.

He was angry with the ninja, and waved his hands at the surroundings: "Everyone has their own duties, don't worry about it!"

After all the people around turned their heads and got busy, they sat down again, and said with a blank expression: "How is the battle going?"

When he thought about it, Youtunwei was indeed a strong army, after all, he had made great achievements in military affairs and defeated Xue Yantuo.But now that Fang Jun is not in Beijing, it is bound to be difficult for the Right Tunwei to exert its full strength, but Fang Jun took most of the elite out of the town of Hexi, and the remaining soldiers and horses cannot be the opponents of the Zuo Tunwei.

What's more, with the help of the royal army, it would be unexpected if the Youtunwei could resist for a long time...

The scout looked at Changsun Wuji's furious demeanor, which was almost out of control. Although he suppressed everything at the moment, the faint thunderous anger never disappeared, and he felt uneasy at the bottom of his heart.

He realized that he should have finished the news in one breath just now...

But at this moment, he can't allow him to regret, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Patriarch, there is no need to worry. Although the Zuo Tunwei joined forces with the royal army and raided the Right Tunwei, the right Tunwei was obviously prepared for it, and the formation was formed at the beginning of the war. Strict and well-prepared, first the artillery bombardment, then the musket salvo, and finally even dispatched hundreds of armored cavalry, killing the left guards and causing heavy losses..."

Following his narration, Changsun Wuji's anger disappeared, and instead he opened his eyes wide in amazement.

When the scout finished speaking, he dared not say anything: "So, the Zuo Tunwei united with the royal army, but he was still beaten by the right Tunwei to the point of dismay. Turn defense into offense, chasing after Zuo Tunwei's butt?"

The scout nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"... Mother!"

Changsun Wuji almost died of anger, what kind of bastard are you, how dare you pant when you report the news?Why didn't he explain the situation clearly just now, so that he became angry and lost his composure?
However, there are too many people here, and he couldn't vent his anger, so he could only hold back his anger, and nodded slowly: "Go and investigate the news immediately, if there is any change, report it in time!"

"Here!"

The scout also obviously felt that for a moment just now, Changsun Wuji seemed to be secretly searching for something convenient to grab and throw it on his head. Now that he got the order, he shrank his head quickly, turned around and left quickly.When he got out of the main hall, he quickly got on his horse and ran away without a trace.

Changsun Wuji sat behind the desk, stroked his beard with one hand, picked up the tea made by the clerk with the other, put it to his mouth, and took a sip slowly.

snort!Chai Zhewei, a blind idiot, actually abandons himself and joins Li Yuanjing, damn it!But it was his retribution. He wanted to strike out You Tunwei to prepare for his all-out attack on Xuanwu Gate, but he kicked it on a rock.

What a relief!

And if this happened, Li Yuanjing was completely saddened. Those clan princes handed over their soldiers and horses to him, but he broke them up at the Xuanwu Gate. I'm afraid there would be a lot of nonsense afterwards.The most important thing is that Li Yuanjing's ambition had just been revealed, and he was hit in the head. With his boldness, maybe he would shrink back completely.

He let out a long breath, but in an instant, Changsun Wuji froze again.
