Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3835

The news of the annihilation of Jingzhao Wei's private army shocked the whole of Chang'an. Almost all the powerful private troops were at a loss, frightened and worried. After a whole day of hustle and bustle, they did not rest until night fell.

At night, a gust of cool wind blows over the city of Chang'an, a little bit of rain falls, and the city of Chang'an, which was noisy during the day, slowly falls silent.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing put on his helmet and armor, rode his horse into the city from Chunming Gate, crossed the Tianjie in front of the Imperial City and Taiji Palace, and arrived at Yanshoufang.

……

Changsun Wuji sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and asked, "How is the army assembled?"

The eldest grandson Jiaqing took off his pocket mask and put it aside, wiped his forehead. It was not known whether it was sweat or rain... He said worriedly: "The assembly has been completed, but it has been defeated repeatedly, and the morale of the army is extremely low. It’s not as good as the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, the Right Tunwei, and Li Jitun who are stationed in Tongguan, and if they start a war rashly... it’s not optimistic to take over.”

Not only is it not optimistic?There is no doubt that it will fail.

After attacking Taiji Palace for several months, there was no way to take the sixth rate of Donggong with several times the force, and even hit the half of the right guard under the command of Gao Kan, and it was even worse after Fang Jun returned thousands of miles away. After one fight and one defeat, even a veteran on the battlefield like Changsun Jiaqing almost lost all confidence.

Changsun Wuji looked stern, stared at Changsun Jiaqing coldly, and said coldly: "This battle is life or death, we must go all out. Go back and mobilize the whole army, and tell all the soldiers that if they fail, the whole family will die. , Let everyone embrace death and live toward death!"

The eldest grandson Jiaqing got up subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Here!"

He felt the determination in Changsun Wuji's heart to burn everything and kill everything, so he was shocked, and he didn't dare to evade the slightest.

Changsun Wuji waved him to sit down, and sighed: "I am not alarmist. First, Li Ji blocked Tongguan and allowed him to enter, but not to leave. Then, Luoyang Yang's and Jingzhao Wei's private troops were destroyed. As expected, it is not bad. The reason why Li Ji came so late after withdrawing from Liaodong was that he waited for us to call up private troops from all over the world to enter Guanzhong, and then block the retreat and catch them in one go."

This is completely different from the previous speculation about Li Ji's motives. Changsun Jiaqing said in surprise: "He, Li Ji, doesn't care about the prince's life?"

At the beginning of Guan Long's rise of troops, he had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. At that time, no one thought that Donggong could hold on. They are all hovering on the verge of destruction, and a little carelessness is the end of destruction.

Why did Li Ji dare to believe that the East Palace must be able to withstand the crazy attack of the Guanlong army?
His Majesty Li Er passed away, if the crown prince also perishes...

"What about the prince?"

Changsun Wuji didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "Li Ji must have His Majesty's edict in his hand, and everything is done in accordance with the edict. In the eyes of His Majesty, how can a mere prince be compared with a powerful family who can overthrow the empire at any time? Annihilation, cut off the foundation of the monopoly side of the family, even if all the sons die and only one is left, His Majesty will not frown."

When he said this, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the dark night outside the window, but there was no focus.He remembered the scene when he met His Majesty Li Er at the beginning of the year. At that time, his uncle Gao Shilian told him that the reason why he promised the Guanyin maidservant to Li Shimin was because of Li Shimin's rebellious and universal spirit.

Even though Li Jiancheng was Li Yuan's most valued son at that time, and his prestige was second to none, Gao Shilian was sure that Li Shimin could become a great weapon.

From that time on, Changsun Wuji has been following Li Shimin, as he fought east and west to lay down half of the Tang Dynasty, as he resisted Li Jiancheng's suppression and persecution, as he fought against Xuanwumen to determine the universe, against the odds. usurp.

In today's world, no one knows His Majesty Li Er better than Changsun Wuji, and knows more clearly what kind of ambitions His Majesty Li Er has in his heart!
But even Changsun Wuji couldn't imagine that His Majesty Li Er would still have the courage to completely cut off the foundation of the family and the country despite the chaos in the world and the flames of war everywhere after his death.

Even at the expense of a prince...

The eldest grandson Jiaqing was dumbfounded, unable to accept this possibility for a while.

If His Majesty Li Er is still alive, even if the army of the world wipes out the clans and private armies, Changsun Jiaqing will not be shocked. After all, he is well aware of His Majesty Li Er's courage and ambition. The concentration of imperial power, so that the empire will not be constrained or coerced by the powerful, no matter how great the sacrifice is, His Majesty Li Er will accept it decisively.

After all, as long as His Majesty Li Er sits in Chang'an City and Tai Chi Palace, no one dares to openly shout "Rebellion" even if the world is full of beacons and turmoil in China!
But now he is dead!
When a person is dying, he still has to leave a will to cut off the foundation of the family, regardless of whether the people of the Li people will be in dire straits, and whether the children will be backlashed, it is only for the centralization of imperial power, and only for the sake of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. the continuation of...

It's too cruel.

Changsun Wuji whirled the teacup subconsciously in the palm of his hand, his mind was a little dazed, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty left a will, foresight and foresight, who in the world can resist it? Although I have already contacted many people in Li Jijun, but As long as Li Ji is determined, we have no chance of winning."

At that time, famous generals came out in large numbers, but there were only a few famous coaches.

Li Jing counts as one, Li Ji counts as one, Li Xiaogong counts as half, and as for Fang Jun... At best, it's just scratching the surface.

The acknowledgment of Li Ji's ability made Changsun Wuji very afraid, and he didn't dare to take any chances.

The grandson Jiaqing understood the meaning of the Patriarch: "So, auxiliary machine, you want to fight to the death and survive the Jedi, if you can defeat the Eastern Palace army, destroy the Eastern Palace, and then come back to negotiate with Li Ji?"

As long as it can ensure that the hundreds of thousands of troops under Li Ji's command are scattered, even if he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, the best way is to make peace with Guan Long as soon as possible, otherwise the whole Guanzhong will fall into chaos, not only the eight hundred Li Qinchuan Destroyed by the flames of war, His Majesty's last edict to cut off the powerful and private army could not be completed.

This step seemed dangerous, but it was the only way out for Guan Long.

Seeing Changsun Wuji nodding his head, Changsun Jiaqing was in high spirits instantly, got up and picked up the bag and put it under his armpit, and said loudly: "Don't worry about the auxiliary machine, we should seek the future for the descendants of the clan, how can we let the foundation of our ancestors be destroyed by us?" ? Don't worry, you will either win or die in this battle!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

For the children of the powerful family, they have enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth under the shelter of the powerful family, and they have already made preparations to fight everything for the future of the powerful family.For the future of the children and grandchildren, for the glory of the ancestors, even if you die, what's the problem?

And this is also the reason why the family has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Looking at the back of Changsun Jiaqing leaving, Changsun Wuji sat there without moving for a while.

There are actually two ways to survive.

One is to take the initiative to disband all the Guanlong troops, abandon their weapons and surrender, and let the East Palace dispose of them, so as to maintain a chance of survival. After all, the benevolence of the prince and wife, even if Guanlong raises troops to depose her, may not be willing to bear a "" The infamy of "Slaughter Merit" killed the Guanlongmen Clan.What's more, without the private army, it is no longer possible for the Guanlongmen clan to "prosper and destroy the empire and abolish the king". Instead, it will become a sharp blade for the crown prince to balance the court and fight against the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry.

Only in this way can Guan Long survive and preserve the inheritance, in order to make a comeback in the future.

However, Changsun Wuji was unwilling to do so, thinking that he had planned for a long time, and had a far-reaching layout in every aspect, but when he took over the matter, he fell short, and there was a resentment in his heart, which inevitably gave birth to a kind of depression and resentment of "the time is not good, the time will never die"... …

What's more, it is a desperate fight like now, expecting to die and survive, the risk is great, but it is the only way Changsun Wuji can go.

What's more, Li Ji sent Xue Wanche and Chen Bing to the north bank of the Wei River to suppress the Youtunwei. How could Fang Jun dare to go all out to fight Guanlong?After all, until now Li Ji still hasn't expressed his stance, no one knows what Li Ji thinks and what he intends to do, and he will definitely not leave all his backs to Li Ji.

Of course, whether Xue Wanche can fully obey Li Ji's orders is also a huge risk, but Changsun Wuji believes that if Xue Wanche is not willing to conscientiously suppress the Right Tunwei, then a new general will come to Jingyang to deter Xuanwumen.
