Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3587 Gate Valve
He Lanyan commanded tens of thousands of troops to form an army south of Wutingchuan, trying to stop Fang Jun from attacking Chang'an. As a result, within half a day of the fierce battle, he disarmed and surrendered and the entire army was destroyed.The news was quickly transmitted back to Chang'an, causing the various clans who were originally ambitious to board the big ship Guanlong to grab the benefits of victory suffered a blow in the head and were beaten a little bit dumbfounded.

Everyone knows that Fang Jun's army is powerful. After all, he was able to defeat the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry all the way, annihilate the Turkic cannibal coalition forces, and gain an advantage in fierce battles with 20 cannibal troops in the Western Regions. Wei can do it.

What's more, the half of the Youtun Guards left by Fang Jun have successively defeated the full-staffed Zuotun Guards, the royal army, and the Guanlong army. It can be seen that the entire Youtun Guards are the first in combat, if not unparalleled in the world. Waiting for the strong army.

However, these gatekeepers who were trying to speculate still could not have imagined that the tens of thousands of troops led by He Lanyan would be defeated in one blow like a Trojan horse and a dog, and they surrendered their weapons and surrendered, and the entire army was exhausted...

Such news naturally shocked the rebels in Chang'an City with fear and surprise.The most terrible thing is, how to resist Fang Jun's attack on Chang'an when Dong Gongliu is desperately resisting and the rebel army's advance is extremely slow?

The army was flustered.

Those Hedong and Heximen who just got on the bus are all regretful. If they had known this earlier, it would have been better to wait and see, but now they are riding a tiger, and there is no way to retreat...

Zhangsun Wuji was lying on the bed and was silent for a while after hearing the news of Helanyan's defeat, and then sent someone to invite the people of the various clans in Chang'an City to Yanshoufang again, and asked them to continue to send more troops. If you have the heart to retain your strength, you must keep Fang Jun in the north of the Wei River, and at the same time capture the Taiji Palace as soon as possible.

Everyone in each family was silent. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to the family, informing the situation in Chang'an and the request of the eldest grandson Wuji in detail.

In fact, these clans have no way to go back now. If they continue to watch the fire from the other side as before, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it is impossible to cut off all the clans in Hedong and Hexi.However, if he has already stood on Guan Long's side and sent troops to fight, that is to be an enemy of the East Palace. Once the East Palace wins, even if His Royal Highness the Prince is benevolent, there is no reason for forgiveness.

Therefore, when Changsun Wuji asked each clan to send more troops, almost all the clans in Hexi and Hedong gritted their teeth and pulled out all their family assets, and they were transferred to Chang'an, striving to win this battle.

……

Outside the right Yanming Gate, the Sheren Yuan is on duty.

Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen sat opposite each other. The red clay stove was burning hot on the coffee table, and a silver pot was placed on it. The mouth of the pot was gurgling with white air. Cool.

Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves, reached out and took off the silver pot, tilted it slightly, and a stream of pale yellow wine poured out from the spout, filling the white porcelain wine bowl in front of the two of them.This kind of high-quality rice wine has to be drunk in such a half-sized wine bowl. If it is an ordinary delicate wine glass, it will not taste the thick and sweet wine.

"Brother Jing, please."

Xiao Yu raised his hand and asked.

Cen Wenwen nodded, but picked up a bamboo clip on the coffee table, opened the lid, took a few pieces of ginger and longan, and put them on a plate next to them, and used chopsticks to put the ginger in his mouth. The spicy taste filled his mouth, he took a big sip from the wine bowl, let out a long sigh, put down the wine bowl, and tasted the sweetness in his mouth.

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the sky is cold and the ground is freezing, this drink mixed with ginger shreds and swallowed into the abdomen, a hot air rises, and the limbs and bones are all warm and very useful.

Xiao Yu was not used to eating it like this, so he just took a sip from the wine bowl, clicked his tongue, and praised: "Good wine."

In winter, when it is snowing and freezing, drinking a pot of warm rice wine, accompanied by ginger shreds to drive away the cold and longan to enhance the flavor, is the most comfortable enjoyment.

Even though the sound of Jin Ge's killing was faintly heard in their ears, the two of them were still leisurely wandering, and they didn't care about it at all.

When the two of them have such qualifications and status, they have already surpassed the limitations of the faction. Even if the rebels have captured the Taiji Palace at this moment, they will never dare to kill them.The rebels knew very well from top to bottom that the target of this remonstrance was the Crown Prince of the East Palace.

Especially Xiao Yu, Cen Wen and other court dignitaries, the interests involved behind them are innumerable, and even Xiao Yu is the leader of the Jiangnan nobility.At this moment, Xiao Yu supports Donggong, but it does not mean that the Jiangnan gentry will live and die together with Donggong. Once they suffer any damage during the mutiny, it can easily cause the situation in the world to change drastically.

No matter how conceited Guan Long is, he doesn't dare to push the Jiangnan gentry to his opposite at this time...

In the same way, even if Donggong Liu led a turn from defeat to victory and defeated Guanlong's army, who would dare to kill the eldest grandson Wuji?
That would drive the entire Guanlong gate into a frenzy, involving the world into a protracted violent shock, and the victory at hand would most likely turn into a huge civil war...

Xiao Yu listened to the sound of Jin Ge's killing outside, sighed softly, and said, "The decisive battle is imminent, I just don't know who wins and who loses in the end, and who belongs to the country."

Cen Wenwen was sick and old, sipping yellow wine, and muttered for a long time: "If Your Majesty is here, no one will be able to turn the waves, but if His Majesty is not there... Guanlong or Donggong, none of them have the ability to convince the public. , the world will be turbulent. Jiangnan, the leader of the Duke of Song, should also put the welfare of the people first, and don't let the fire of war in Jiangnan cause the good situation to be ruined."

Jiangnan is nowhere near as prosperous and prosperous as in Guanzhong, but it has been a barren land since ancient times. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, after hundreds of years of development and cultivation by countless people, it was truly under the rule of the empire. In the end, Jiangnan was separated from the empire again, and all the princes in the present court can be called the sinners of China.

Although Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen did not have much in common with each other, they belonged to a gentleman's friendship, and their political views were quite compatible.

Hearing that, he nodded and smiled, "Brother Jing, please relax your mind. For the public and private, there will be no chaos in Jiangnan."

In private, Jiangnan is the foundation of the Xiao clan in Lanling. If Jiangnan is stable, then Xiao Yu's position in the court is stable. Anyone who seizes power must be drawn and appeased.If Jiangnan is in chaos and the foundation is unstable, Xiao Yu's influence will naturally plummet, and its weight will plummet.

Yu Gong, after hundreds of years of continuous migration of the Han people in the wild land in the south of the Yangtze River, the stability and prosperity of today's cultivation and education have been achieved.If I want to appease and stabilize it and incorporate it into the Chinese territory, I don’t know how much effort it will take and how many soldiers will be sacrificed.

Immediately, Xiao Yu said with great concern: "At present, all the clans in Hexi, Hedong and other places have sent troops to help Guanlong, which has made the rebels more and more powerful, and the Donggong six leads are struggling to support it. What he is drawing is self-evident. Thinking like this, even if Fang Jun rushes back to help, he will end up being the enemy of the world."

Cen Wen frowned.

This involves the most basic conflict of interests - the prince has revealed more than once that he will continue the national policy of His Majesty Li Er after he succeeds to the throne in the future, maintain political stability, and reduce internal friction caused by line differences.

This was originally a good thing, but the key problem is that His Majesty Li Er has been pursuing the strategy of weakening and suppressing the clan over the years. Looking at the purpose of his governance, it is obvious that he wants to enhance the power of the poor clan to counteract the powerful background of clan clan, and finally achieve the purpose of eliminating clan clan. .

This is intolerable to the noble clan, otherwise they would not allow Guan Long to carry out a mutiny in the Chang'an uprising, but all the clans in the world stand by and watch, and even send troops to help at a critical moment.

Those who gain the way help more, those who lose the way help few.

For the clans in the world, their own interests are "Dao", whoever is more beneficial to their "Dao", they support whoever, and vice versa, whoever opposes.

This is the fundamental reason why Donggong is facing the current desperate situation...

His Majesty Li Er has great talent, great wealth, and great wealth in civil governance and martial arts. Even if he is dissatisfied with his strategy of weakening and suppressing clansmen, the clansmen in the world do not dare to openly resist. while preserving strength.

But once His Majesty Li Er is not there, will the Crown Prince continue to weaken and suppress the clansmen's national policy, and can these clansmen still reluctantly cut their flesh and make compromises?

Naturally it cannot.

Therefore, there is a situation in which the clans in Hexi and Hedong have successively sent troops to assist Guanlong in besieging the Taiji Palace.Even in the near future, it is very likely that the gates from all over the world will respond and fully support the Guanlong gates.

Under such circumstances, even if Donggong won the mutiny after Fang Jun returned to aid, how would he face the opposition of the world's clans?
