Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4130 His Majesty's Will
Yu Wenshi and Yu Chigong looked at each other, both felt helpless, but they also understood that they could not win the battle of succession alone, even if they could enter the capital directly from Chunming Gate guarded by Niu Jinda and approach Taiji Palace, the "Hundred Riders" It is impossible to overcome the palace ban guarded by the Secretary and the imperial guards in one go.

As long as the crown prince can withstand the onslaught of the right Houwei for half an hour, Li Jing will lead the East Palace Six to enter Chang'an from the Golden Light Gate, and attack the right Houwei back and forth.

Why did the Guanlongmen faction, which was ten times stronger than the Eastern Palace, besiege Taiji Palace in the end?
It was precisely because the Right Tunwei entered Chang'an from Jinguangmen, defeated the defense of the Guanlong army all the way, and directly killed the rear formation, forming a pincer attack from inside and outside, which caused the morale of the Guanlong army to collapse, and they were defeated...

Therefore, when the attack on Tai Chi Palace is frustrated, one must retreat immediately to avoid being outflanked by the Six Commanders of the East Palace. In the worst case, one must withdraw from Chang'an City, because Cheng Yaojin cannot leave the back road...

Xiao Yu saw Yuwen Shi and remained silent, and the resentment caused by the aggressiveness of the other party was slightly reduced just now, and he said calmly: "Once the battle does not go well, immediately withdraw from Chang'an and go to Tongguan, while guarding the pass and blocking the way to the west of the East Palace army. , while waiting for the reinforcements from Shandong and Jiangnan dynasties, as long as they persist until the reinforcements arrive, and then calmly counterattack Chang'an, and fight steadily with ten times the strength, the East Palace will undoubtedly be defeated."

Sounds thoughtful and beyond reproach.

But Yu Chigong suddenly said: "At the beginning, Guan Long was besieged for several months with a force ten times larger than that of the Eastern Palace. In the end, the halberd fell into the sand and was defeated. No matter how unbearable Guan Long is, half of the hundreds of thousands of troops are regular Fubing, most of the hastily formed troops in Shandong and Jiangnan are farmers, tenants, and domestic slaves, and I am afraid that their combat power is still insufficient compared to the Guanlong army...how can we guarantee victory?"

In the final analysis, no matter how brave the champion of the three armies is, he cannot ignore the powerful combat power of the enemy. It is one thing to die generously, but it is another thing to be arrogant.

The Guanlongmen Faction did lack famous generals, and most of the army was improvised, but most of the soldiers were still Guanzhong Fu soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not weak. Abandon armor.

Even Yuwen's private soldiers in "Woye Town" were wiped out...

This was a prudent statement, but Xiao Yu didn't take it seriously: "The Six Rates of the East Palace and the Right Tunwei are indeed powerful, but more because of the advantages of firearms, the form of warfare has been completely changed. Today, the crushing of the situation is formed. Only They beat others, but others can't beat them. The soldiers of the powerful families of the two places practice all the year round, and most of them go overseas with their fleets for trade. The experience is by no means inferior to that of the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards. Now that the foundry bureau has been destroyed by the war and has not yet been rebuilt, and the firearms and ordnance of each army are seriously insufficient. Naturally, it is difficult for the East Palace army to take advantage of firearms, so they will return to the same state. , the side with more troops will completely gain the upper hand.”

Although he is not a general in charge of the army, he has read a lot of military books. These days, he pays attention to a general and a good man. Even if he has never led a soldier before, his theoretical knowledge is not bad at all. nod.

Since the birth of firearms, the form of warfare has indeed changed beyond recognition. Some conventional tactics are now useless. The most troublesome battle has become extremely easy when equipped with sufficient firearms. First, artillery salvos deter the enemy. If only one of the two sides in the battle is equipped with firearms, then the battle cannot be fought.

If Donggong Liurate lacks firearms and equipment, and the war still returns to the previous way, then he, Yu Chigong, and You Houwei under his command are really not afraid of Donggong Liurate, who was short of major generals due to the previous series of battles.

Even if the opponent was commanded by Li Jing, the "God of War" who was "No.

He, Li Jing, can't let the soldiers under his command have three heads and six arms...

Yu Wenshi and his attendants listened to Xiao Yu's analysis of the previous case of Guan Long's defeat, and they inevitably felt uncomfortable. Why does it sound like the Guan Long army is extremely incompetent?However, when Xiao Yu finally blamed the lack of firearms for Guan Long's defeat, he felt relieved.

"At this moment, the East Palace has probably discovered His Highness's disappearance, so we must be prepared. Let's raise our troops and make the announcement to the world, and enter Chang'an City to determine the overall situation!"

"That's right, soldiers are precious and fast, and we must strike hard before Donggong reacts, otherwise we will have to retreat to Tongguan and lose the opportunity."

"Your Highness, give the order!"

Everyone got up together, stood in front of Li Zhi and bowed to the ground, imploring Li Zhi to order the riot.

Li Zhi could only feel his heart beating violently, his blood pulsed rapidly, his lips were dry, and his throat was itchy, so he took a deep breath to stabilize his mind.

Throughout the ages, this kind of thing has never happened a few times. Now I want to create a piece of history, and I am destined to go down in history, but I don’t know whether I will win or lose in the end, whether I will live or die. For a while, my originally firm mind faltered, and I was very nervous ...

However, he is not an ordinary person, and he quickly stabilized under the eyes of several humerus ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Father was poisoned by a traitor and died young, the anger of man and god! As a prince, I should not be afraid of hardships and thorns I also seek justice for my father! Fortunately, you all understand the righteousness, loyalty and love, and you have to help the king to do justice for the heavens, to show the justice in the world, and to repay the father's long grace! Today, here, This king should make an oath with all of you, willing to live and die together, share honor and disgrace, if the matter fails, he will go forward, and death will not follow, if he is lucky enough to succeed in the court, he will share the wealth and honor, and rest with the country!"

Several people no longer maintained the posture of bowing, but knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, in the drizzle, countless soldiers of the Right Marquis Guards were fully armed and waiting for orders. When they heard such a sentence from inside the tent, they all raised their arms and shouted in unison: "I wish to die for Your Highness!"

The sound shook the sky, and the situation changed!
Banners fluttered and danced in the wind and rain, sharp swords and guns were like mountains and forests, and tens of thousands of tigers were resting on their backs, waiting for an order to charge forward, and they would die without hesitation.

With burning eyes and high spirits, Li Zhi immediately ordered the military flag to be cut, and wrote the word "Jin", and then wrote an article, complaining to the prince for "poisoning his father", "persecuting siblings", "disastering the court", "the villain is far away from the virtuous". Minister" and other crimes, the literary talent is brilliant and impassioned, and the prince is simply described as a heinous, stupid and brutal person, which makes people hate it.

After Xiao Yu and others read it, they praised the prince's literary talent again and again, and unanimously condemned the prince's ignorance.

There is no right or wrong at this time, as long as you can make your teacher famous and justifiable, even if you fabricate it out of thin air, there is nothing wrong with it: if you lose the incident, even if these things are true, you will be fabricating the facts to tarnish the reputation of the prince; If it is fake, it will be firmly buckled on the prince's head...

Still the same sentence, the winner is a prince and the loser is just a bandit.

How can there be any good or evil, right or wrong?
……

Afterwards, Li Zhi stood up, turned sideways and invited Wang Shoushi, who had been hiding in his shadow, into the front seat, and said respectfully: "Please ask the servant to bring out the imperial edict of the father and show it to the public, so that the subjects of the world will know about the emperor's sage. Yes, listen carefully to the hadith.”

All the people turned sideways together, with solemn expressions, not daring to face each other directly.

Wang Shoushi tidied up his clothes, then took off a small package on his back and put it on the table in front of him, opened one of the red sandalwood boxes carved with dragons and phoenixes, opened it again, and took out a bright yellow silk scroll from it, unfolded it , when everyone saw the cloud pattern of the dragon emblem on the back, they bent their heads closer to their ears.

Wang Shoushi unrolled the yellow silk scroll, and said in a solemn voice: "My Shao was appointed by the army, and the weather was in the right place. Since the imperial court, I have been sleepless all night. I feel pity for the distress of the subjects in the world, and I regret the chaos of the country. He has an arrogant and indulgent heart... The crown prince is cowardly and immoral, and he favors and trusts traitors. When he was in charge of the country, the country was in turmoil, the people were separated, and people and gods were abandoned. , Tired of supervisors, familiar with the affairs of the state. All the officials, officials and officials sent to the place where they lived, did not violate my will, and were registered as the crown prince. After the genus, they will be buried in seven days. The existence of the clan is indispensable. My lord, the crown prince is the emperor right in front of the coffin, according to the old system of the Zhou and Han Dynasties, military and state affairs should not be stopped, and ordinary idle affairs should be in charge..."

The voice of the old eunuch was a little thin, and he was reciting it eloquently at this moment, but it was not loud enough, and the wind and rain were blowing, and people outside the account were screaming, it would be a little grandiose...

However, everyone still bowed their heads and stood in silence, listening clearly.

"...Civil and military officials, the third rank has already passed, and they will cry at dawn on the third day, and they will come out after the fifteenth speech. He is good at crying. Fang Zhenyue Mu, who is an official, each in his office, mourned for three days. The severity of his obedience should follow the Han system, and the day changes with the moon. Liaodong will stop doing things. Taiyuan Yuan from people who see him, Each is bestowed with a rank of honorary officer. The meritorious work of all battalions should be stopped..."

The wind and rain are involved in the self-operated door, and the lights and candles in the tent are uncertain.

After Wang Shoushi finished reading, he rolled up the imperial decree and presented it to Li Zhi with both hands. Everyone knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, wait for me!"

Hearing this sound, the soldiers outside the tent were silent at first, and then understood what happened in the tent, so they got off their horses one after another under the guidance of the generals and captains, knelt in the muddy water, and shouted in unison: "We, see Your Majesty. !"

The soldiers in the distance heard it, and they also followed suit: "We, see Your Majesty!"

Shouts from near to far, finally converged into a majestic momentum, even though thunder, lightning, and wind and rain, they couldn't hide it at all.

Inside the tent, Li Zhi is tall and straight, with a reddish complexion, holding the imperial decree tightly in one hand, and pointing a halberd in the direction of Chang'an with the other: "My lords, join me in entering Chang'an, resisting the rebellious thieves, clarifying the world, and making achievements!"

"Here!"

Inside and outside the tent, the respondent gathered, and the momentum went straight to Xiaohan.
