Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3910 The monarch and minister join forces
Under the Xuanwu Gate, the messenger loudly reported the news that the Right Guards had broken through the Jinguang Gate and entered Chang'an City. Everyone in the city was silent for a while, only the patter of rainwater falling on the bluestone slabs could be clearly heard.

Then, the officials of the East Palace, the servants of the imperial concubines, and all the imperial guards burst into earth-shattering cheers!

I thought it was a doomed situation, so I could only follow the prince to flee in exile in exile, but now he suddenly survived, and the huge contrast made Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and other important officials who had always been calm couldn't help but feel emotional Surging!

Zhang Shigui was even more fortunate, if he still refused to let go of the Xuanwu Gate and let the prince leave the city, what would happen?
He blocked the Xuanwu Gate, the prince attacked and tried to leave the city, Guanlong's army attacked the sixth rate of the East Palace, and the right guards entered Chang'an City to rob and kill the Guanlong army's back road... Most importantly, if he blocked the prince himself, the prince would die At the hands of Guan Long, and then the Right Tunwei defeated Guan Long, so what is Zhang Shigui?
Wiping the rainwater off his face, Zhang Shigui remonstrated: "Your Highness, since You Tunwei has already entered Chang'an, please leave the city quickly, let the old officials guard the Xuanwu Gate, and together with the Six Rates of the East Palace and You Tunwei, attack from front to back. , Resist the rebellion!"

The officials of the East Palace also hurriedly echoed: "Guo Guogong's words are correct, please leave the city quickly, Your Highness!"

In any case, the Neizhong Gate is in danger at this moment. If the Guanlong army completely defeats the Six Rates of the East Palace before the Right Tunwei arrives at the Taiji Palace, wouldn't it be a failure?
Seeing Li Chengqian's hesitation, Ma Zhou said: "If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, His Highness is the prince of the country. He belongs to the Zhengshuo of the empire and the succession of the throne, so he must not be in danger. You should rush to the Youtunwei camp to take command at this moment. If we can stabilize the morale of the army, maybe we can defeat the rebels with the cooperation of the right guards, and maybe we will be defeated."

At this time, it cannot be said that the crown prince "withdrew" from Xuanwu Gate, but that the crown prince was required to rush to the Youtunwei camp to "sit in command".

Sure enough, when Li Chengqian heard it, he immediately said: "That's great!"

He is not a person who likes face, but the face of the country has to be taken into account. The reason why he is unwilling to withdraw from the inner heavy gate and wants to fight the Taiji Palace to the death also has this concern.

But now the situation is completely different. At this time, it is foolish to fight to the death. Moreover, rushing to the "Youtunwei camp to command" is not the same as fleeing from the Taiji Palace in embarrassment...

Immediately, Zhang Shigui ordered the "Bei Ya Imperial Army" to let go of the blockade of the city gate, and respectfully sent Li Chengqian out of the palace. The guards of the Eastern Palace, subordinate officials, concubines, and the prince's family members came out from the Xuanwu Gate with great momentum. .

The prince rode his horse in front, and just walked out of the large and dark city gate of Xuanwu Gate, he saw a cavalry galloping from far to near, the horseshoes trampled on the muddy water on the ground, and rushed towards them, and among the flags fluttering, they saw a big "" When the word "room" was used, the prince's heart warmed, and he reined in his horse and stood still.

In a moment, this cavalry galloped to the front. The leader was wearing a helmet and armor, and his figure was strong. Before the horse stopped, he flew off the horse. The inertia made him rush forward a few steps after landing to stabilize his figure, and then strode forward. In front of the crown prince's horse, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "My minister comes to pick him up!"

However, Li Chengqian did not wait for him to salute, he had already rolled over from his horse, staggered two steps, and before Fang Jun knelt down on one knee, he supported his shoulders with all his strength, and said in a trembling voice: "This place is the front of the army. The leader of the army, why do you need such a big gift? Hurry up, please hurry up!"

Fang Jun wanted to finish the ceremony, but Li Chengqian used great force, knowing that he wanted to give him a courtesy in front of everyone, so he stood up and raised his head to meet Li Chengqian's eyes.

Li Chengqian's eye circles were a little red, and he tried his best to suppress the agitation in his heart.

He is an emotional person, and there is not much difference between emperor and minister. In his opinion, Fang Jun is not only his stable minister, but also his life and death confidant.

If Fang Jun hadn't been ordered to lead half of the right guards out of the town of Hexi when he was in danger, and defeated tens of thousands of cavalry from Tuyuhun, Chang'an City had already been approached by barbarian soldiers and the country was in turmoil; In the Western Regions, the soldiers headed straight to Yumen Pass; if Fang Jun hadn’t rushed thousands of miles to help Chang’an, the rebel army would have already conquered the Taiji Palace, and the East Palace was destroyed. He, the crown prince, ended up with hatred, and all the family members of the East Palace were slaughtered...

In Yuguo, Fang Junnan conquered the West and made great achievements in the world.

For himself, Fang Jun gave his full support, regardless of life or death.

Especially when he was waiting for the verdict of fate under the Xuanwu Gate, and suddenly heard that the Right Guards had defeated the tens of thousands of rebels at the Jinguangmen, captured the Jinguangmen, and entered Chang'an City. The mind is agitated, as if reborn!
At this time, the four eyes met, Li Chengqian didn't say much, just nodded heavily, and patted Fang Jun on the shoulder several times, not saying thanks for the great kindness, let alone such kindness to the Great Tang Sheji and the regeneration of the East Palace , How could it be possible to express the excitement in my heart with just a few words?
Everything just goes without saying.

Fang Jun smiled, turned his eyes around behind Li Chengqian, and nodded to Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou, Zhang Shigui and others one by one, and then said to Li Chengqian: "I implore Your Highness to sit in the right guard Daying, command us to counterattack Chang'an City, stop the rebels, and clean up the imperial court!"

Behind Fang Jun, all the thousands of soldiers on horseback shouted in unison: "Your Highness, please lead us to counterattack Chang'an City, stop the rebels, and clean up the imperial court!"

The momentum is huge, the sound shakes the whole field, and the morale is high!

Li Chengqian swept away his slump, high-spirited, clenched his right hand and raised it high: "I swear here today, please follow me to stop the rebels and clean up the court, and when the success is achieved, all meritorious service will be doubled. Those who die in battle, their merits will be passed on to their sons! The empire is upright and the power of heaven is shining, and it will cleanse the world and stand proudly in the world!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and they all shouted: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

This time of Guanlong rebellion, the East Palace is in danger, the country is precarious, and the country is in turmoil. It can be described as the biggest crisis since the founding of the country.Being able to follow the prince from defeat to victory, and counterattack in a desperate place, once the rebellion is finally cut off and the victory is won, the merits of everyone cannot be ignored.

But now the crown prince has promised to double his promotion on this basis. After the war, at least he will be promoted to three ranks, and his title will not only be promoted by one rank, especially "his merits will be extended to his sons", so that all soldiers will no longer be afraid of war. If you want to die, you will naturally fight hard.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Shigui and said: "Xuanwu Gate still needs Duke Guo to guard it. Duke Wang puts Jiangshan Sheji and Li Tang Guozuo as the most important things."

Zhang Shigui knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister must guard the Xuanwu Gate to the death, and will never let the rebels break out from here on!"

Before, he blocked the Xuanwu Gate and cut off the retreat route to the East Palace. The Guanlong army attacked from the front. Wei Ze broke into the city of Chang'an and attacked from behind, but Guanlong's army became the turtle in the urn instead...

As long as he sticks to the Xuanwu Gate, he can wipe out the Guanlong army in the first battle and completely wipe out the rebellion.

Of course, if the rebels are allowed to rush out of the Xuanwu Gate, or attack the Youtunwei camp, or collapse and flee in all directions, the battle will continue to be delayed. I'm afraid there will be another accident.

After all, there is still Li Ji leading the army stationed in Tongguan, with unknown inclinations and positions, and no one knows what he intends to do...

……

West Market.

Right Tunwei broke through the Golden Light Gate and entered the city. Gao Kan led the army to occupy the city, completely emptied the Guanlong army in this area, and then took command of the city gate. Wang Fangyi led the heavy infantry, musketeers, and crossbowmen to break in In the city, chasing after the buttocks of the defeated army.

The defeated army had already lost its courage and its morale collapsed. Occasionally, some generals tried to organize soldiers to resist, but they were quickly defeated by the heavily armored right guards, and the whole army collapsed and vented.

Wang Fangyi led his army to hide and kill all the way, until he was blocked by Yu Suigu's troops who rushed to help him until he was outside the West Market, and the offensive momentum slowed down slightly.

Yu Suigu was ordered to come to intercept him, thinking that more than [-] men and horses under his command guarded the long street, and even if he took human lives to fill it, he would definitely be able to drag the Youtun guards here to death, so that they could be rushed and beaten by the Taiji Palace. The Guanlong army bought enough time to annihilate Donggong Liurate.

However, as soon as the two armies joined forces in the chaos, Yu Suigu regretted it.

The soldiers at the front of the right guard were heavy infantry. Although these soldiers were not advancing fast, they were almost armed to the teeth. When attacking, the formation was complete and orderly. The wall was slowly advancing, and all the troops trying to stop it were like water waves hitting the rocks. Except for the blood splashing all over the sky, they couldn't stop it at all.

Yu Suigu was dumbfounded, how to fight this battle?
