Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3671 Huge hidden danger
At ten minutes in the evening, the battle came to an end, and the "rumble" of the thunderbolts gradually ceased.Donggong Liulu was not reckless and aggressive, and repelled the enemy troops that broke into the front line of Jiademen. After regaining Chengtianmen, he built a defense line on the spot, rescued the wounded, and collected the bodies of dead soldiers. At the same time, they assembled the army to attack the eldest Sun Jiaqing of Taiji Palace from the Tuck Court. Ministry repelled.

This fierce battle lasted for a day, and the two sides lost their soldiers. When the night came, they tacitly stopped the attack and licked the wounds silently.

But overall, the East Palace has achieved quite a lot.

The plan of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" not only rescued all the thousands of soldiers who had been surrounded by Cheng Chubi, but also took the opportunity to recapture the fallen Jiademen and Chengtianmen, and pushed the front line to Chengtianmen again, which greatly inspired the East Palace. Military morale up and down.

However, Guanlong's army was disgraced. Originally, they wanted to use Cheng Chubi's department as a restraint to capture the Taiji Palace in one fell swoop, and even broke into the vicinity of the Liangyi Palace to capture all the most strategically advantageous areas in the Taiji Palace. big loss...

Changsun Wuji was extremely depressed.

It wasn't that he had a mistake in arranging troops and tactics, but it was because Cheng Chubi's life and death involved a great deal, and he didn't dare to take risks easily, and as a result, he lost the whole game.

And this is a direct manifestation of Li Ji's introduction of troops and threats to Guanzhong. Everyone is very afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are tied...

The war just stopped, and the two sides gathered their troops and treated the wounded. Fortunately, although you did not give in to each other during the battle, everyone was a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. After the battle, they would not take advantage of the other party's treatment of the wounded. , and even occasionally find that the seriously wounded of the other side are gathered, and they will be properly treated.

Yuwen Shiyi and Linghu Defen, two old Guanlongsu elders, came to Yanshoufang together to meet the eldest grandson Wuji.

With a gloomy face, Changsun Wuji asked the two of them to sit down and let the servants watch the tea, and then said with a nonchalant expression, "It's not early, the two of you came together, but what's the matter?"

As soon as the war came to an end, two old foxes came one after another, obviously forcing the palace to come...

Sure enough, Linghu Defen knitted his snow-white eyebrows tightly, and said in a heavy tone: "Today's battle, Guan Long suffered too many casualties, and the grievances of each family are soaring, even the heads of the family are quite critical, and the two of us had to come overnight. , discuss countermeasures with the auxiliary engine. If things go on like this for a long time, I am afraid that Guan Long's morale will collapse, which will lead to extremely serious consequences."

The so-called "extremely serious consequences", of course, Changsun Wuji understands what it means...

He also frowned, put his palm on the table and pressed the table, staring at Linghu Defen with gloomy eyes, and said slowly: "In war, victory or defeat is an ordinary matter. What's more, today's battle is already extremely difficult. It consumes a lot of troops of the East Palace, and its casualties are not under Guanlong. For the East Palace, which is already short of troops, it is worse than the situation, and it is more and more difficult to arrange troops in the back. I don't know why each family is so concerned about this. What are the criticisms? It seems that we still need to investigate the various families to see if anyone is telling right and wrong, bewitching people, and intending to cause the Guanlong families to fall into infighting."

"Hey!"

Linghu Defen angered his face, unhappy, and said angrily: "You don't need to be angry with me, this military remonstrance has hit so far, and each family has suffered heavy losses and there are many complaints. You don't know. But even if you are If you insist on going your own way, you should also understand that once each family is caught in civil strife, the split will be close at hand. After all, people always focus on the immediate interests. No matter how well you promise, no matter how big the cake is, everyone can’t see or believe it. When Guanlong splits up and fights each other, not only will the eldest grandson's family be doomed, but none of us will be able to get better!"

At the time of the uprising, the eldest grandson Wuji promised everyone that he would defeat the East Palace and depose the prince within two months at most, and then support the King of Jin to ascend the throne. .

As a result, the war has been fought so far, and each family has invested almost all of their family assets, with heavy casualties, but the victory is still a long way off. Who can still sit still?

After all, after a victory, the huge benefits will be shared by everyone, but if you fail, the serious consequences are absolutely unbearable...

The eldest grandson Wuji Chengfu was deep, not angry, but said lightly: "My plan is not only for the sake of one family, but for the interests of Guanlong. If everyone does not agree with this, you can withdraw temporarily... But Even if everyone quits, the eldest grandson family is not alone in fighting. Now all the clans in the world are invited to raise troops and horses to rush to Guanzhong. As soon as their army arrives, it will only be a matter of turning over the East Palace. At that time, everyone will regret it. It's useless."

Yuwen Shiji put down the teacup, and said worriedly: "This is exactly what I am worried about! The auxiliary machine is good to think about it, if Li Ji suddenly fell to the East Palace, all the gatekeepers who entered the Guanzhong at this moment will not escape bad luck! Of course, they will not be held accountable afterwards. After all, Donggong can't afford the price of that kind of chaos in the world, but as long as you annihilate the sectarian army that enters the customs, it is equivalent to digging out the foundations of the sectarians in the world!"

In any era, only with soldiers in hand can one side be deterred, one can stand against the court and dominate one side.Once the private armies controlled by the clans are all buried in Guanzhong, what else can be used to consolidate their local rule?

The private military heritage of the clan that survived in the turbulent times was destroyed once, and it is impossible to rise again. The imperial court dreams of cutting off these private armed forces that are not allowed to appear in the imperial army. How can it be allowed to appear again?At that time, all the military power in the world will return to the center, no matter how high prestige the clan has in the locality, under the imperial power, an imperial decree will immediately deprive them all.

The life and death of the gatekeepers are all in the hands of the center. Even if someone dares to rebel, they are bound to be wiped out by the imperial army in an instant...

The heritage accumulated by the world's gatekeepers for hundreds of years will be lost in one fell swoop, and the consequences are simply too terrifying.

This is a huge hidden danger that may exist in theory.

And this, Zhangsun Wuji was already alert in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided that this scene would definitely not happen.

"Donggong absolutely dare not do this, the prince will not be recognized by the world, and with this military remonstrance, his prestige has dropped to an unprecedented level, who in the world will be convinced? Buried in Guanzhong, he bewitched his own servants and villagers to fight back, and it was enough to cause riots in various places, and the world was full of flames."

His eyes were bright, and he was full of disdain for Li Chengqian: "If you want to deter the world's gatekeepers from daring to embark on the road of rebellion, the prince can't do it, and Li Ji can't do it, maybe only His Majesty can do it... and His Majesty is absolutely impossible to sit in the Taiji Hall and give orders. There are heroes in the world, you know this and I know it, as well as the East Palace. Therefore, your worries are completely unnecessary."

Even if Li Ji were to take refuge in the East Palace, as long as he dared to annihilate the troops of the gatekeepers who entered the customs, he would inevitably suffer the consequences of the rebellion of the people from all over the world.At that time, it is not impossible that the Tang Empire will be completely overthrown...

East Palace is not a bunch of idiots, how can you not see this?
Yuwen Shiji was speechless by these words, as if he was really thinking too much...

But he still asked: "Your Majesty's situation...Auxiliary engine, can you be sure? I always feel that Li Ji's posture is too strange and unreasonable, lest there be some deeper scheme behind it, we will now Today's plan may fall into a huge conspiracy."

As Changsun Wuji said, if you want to deter the world's clans from daring to have the slightest rebellious heart, the prince is not qualified, and Li Ji is even less qualified. Only His Majesty Li Er can do that.Since Jinyang raised its army, it ran rampant and conquered half of the Tang Dynasty. Later, the "Xuanwu Gate Revolution" reversed and seized and became the emperor. Since Zhenguan, it has been striving to govern and sleep at night, relying on super powerful political means to push this huge empire. On the road of glory in the prosperous world, the prestige of His Majesty Li Er is enough to shock the world.

As long as His Majesty Li Er is still alive, no one dares to rebel.

In fact, since His Majesty Li Er was gone, Guan Long only dared to claim to "dethrone the East Palace and set things right", deposed the prince and established the rest of the princes as emperors, instead of revolting in a grand manner, seeking Li Tang Jiangshan to sit on the throne of emperor.

So the crux of the question is, can you be sure that His Majesty Li Er has passed away, and that everything in the current Eastern Expedition Army is not a mystery and another conspiracy?
Zhangsun Wuji was shocked, his face changed, and he insisted: "This matter is absolutely true! If there is any uncertainty, do you think I will sneak back to Chang'an and order Guanlong to suddenly rise up?"
