Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4336
The canopy fell into silence again, and the two of them drank water silently with their cups in their hands, and did not speak for a long time.

Xiao Yu understands that Cheng Yaojin is already open and honest, and it is impossible to persuade him to surrender to King Jin with all his heart, but he still doesn't understand...Why Cheng Yaojin is so confident in team Fangjun?

Just because Emperor Taizong had a good eye for people, did he think that Fang Jun would be able to withstand the Tai Chi Palace under such a bad situation?
It's unbelievable...

After a long time, Xiao Yu put down the water glass and said, "Is there anything else you want me to convey to His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, then shook his head: "The arrow is on the string, how can we not shoot it? If you go one step further, you will be the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and if you take a step back, you will have nothing to live in. No one will give up. Talking more is useless."

At this point, King Jin will not retreat, nor can he retreat.

Even if you know that there is an abyss in front of you, you still have to walk forward with pride. Maybe there will be a single-plank bridge in the mountain stream...

Xiao Yu sighed, got up and put on the coir raincoat, nodded to Cheng Yaojin, got on his horse and was escorted by soldiers and returned to Yuanqiu overnight to report to Li Zhi.

Walking on the way, looking up at the dark sky against the wisps of rain, I suddenly felt that it might not be useless to force Chu Suiliang to write that "confession"...

*****
The entire Youtunwei camp has fallen into melee.

Many middle- and lower-level officers who were instigated by Li Daliang were reluctant to meet with Paoze at first. They were either Li Daliang’s old department or Guanlong’s origin, or they were inextricably related to the two, because their interests had to stand on the sidelines. Li Daliang's side, but this is just a matter of standpoint, who is willing to turn against Pao Ze, who once fought side by side?

But under Li Daliang's persecution, he had to move closer to the camp of the Chinese army.

Gao Kan gathered about [-]% of the soldiers of the Right Guards to guard near the camp of the Central Army. When the opponent kept approaching, the conflict inevitably broke out.

When tens of thousands of people gather together, what they fear most is a sudden outbreak of conflict. The tense nerves of both sides are disconnected in an instant, and a scuffle ignites.

They were all elites who followed Fang Jun in the South and North Wars. Although there was a gap in the number of the two sides, they were unprepared for the sudden start of the war. There were countless casualties but they fell into a stalemate. No one could do anything about it.

Gao Kan saw that the scuffle was inevitable, and his heart burned.

The task that Fang Jun entrusted to him was to manage the army well, but he was forced to win him over knowing that someone was secretly instigating and buying him, and he was prepared, causing the right guards to split. How could he be worthy of Fang Jun? ?

What's more, when the scouts reported that the Zuo Tunwei's entire army had assembled and was eyeing one side, they could rush over to assist Li Daliang in completely annihilating the Right Tunwei, so they became more anxious.

Immediately charged forward, leading the soldiers under his command to try to wipe out the rebels as soon as possible.

Flying horizontal knives, invincible in front of him, Gao Kan slashed at the enemies in front of him who were still in robes during the day, his heart throbbed violently, his eyes were red, but he mercilessly rushed towards Li Daliang.

At no time should a traitor be forgiven.

But more and more rebels rushed forward to fight bravely, and slowly blocked his charge, watching Li Daliang standing not far away under the guard of a group of generals, but desperately fighting. No matter how hard you try, you can't get through.

Although the troops on his side had an overwhelming advantage, the battlefield was limited to the camp, and there were tents and supplies everywhere, so they couldn't use it at all, and the battle situation fell into a melee.

On the other side, the Zuo Tunwei had assembled and all left the camp. Tens of thousands of people lined up in the rain. Although Li Daliang had sent people to urge him several times, Chai Zhewei still stood still.

Chai Lingwu stood behind his elder brother on horseback, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did elder brother refuse to send troops for so long? It's better to deal with the right guards as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later."

Chai Zhewei held the reins in both hands, looked at the You Tun Wei who was fighting in the sky not far away, agreed, and said disapprovingly: "What's the rush? We hate the whole world with You Tun Wei. Wouldn't it be better to watch them kill each other? You We must remember that fame, power, prosperity, and wealth all need our own strength to support us, and for us, the troops under our command are the foundation to support everything, and the preservation of strength should be the first priority at all times."

Chai Lingwu was silent, thinking that since you understand so well, why did you rely on Li Yuanjing to attack Xuanwumen before, and was defeated by Fang Jun and almost wiped out the entire army?

Of course, I would never dare to say this...

Chai Zhewei said indifferently: "Wait a little longer and let them kill each other. Anyway, we can't follow Li Daozong into the Taiji Palace. Wait until Youtunwei is almost dead, and then we will make a move to decide the world."

Chai Lingwu could only obey orders.

……

Cheng Wuting led [-] soldiers under his command to enter the palace from Xuande Gate, and then galloped westward. There were already shouts and killings at the inner heavy gate in front of him, and the flames were soaring into the sky.Cheng Wuting was very anxious, and kept urging his subordinates to speed up, but before he reached the inner heavy gate to participate in the defense, he heard a burst of cheers, and the defenders of the inner heavy gate retreated like a tide.

After catching a pawn who was in a panic, he learned that the inner heavy gate was indeed lost under Li Daozong's onslaught.

Without saying a word, Cheng Wuting retreated towards Ganlu Hall with his soldiers.The northern part of the Taiji Palace has a vast area, few buildings, and an open terrain. A mere 5000 people could not intercept all the rebels, so they had to retreat to the area of ​​Ganlu Hall to block the rebels by relying on the buildings.

About to arrive at Ganlu Hall, Cheng Wuting suddenly remembered something, called his own soldiers, and ordered: "Separate 500 people, and immediately rush to Shujing Hall to inform His Highness Changle that the rebels have entered the palace. Wait for you to escort His Highness to Wude Hall. There is a loss!"

"Here!"

The soldiers got the order, quickly gathered the troops, and rushed towards Shujing Palace.

To this day, the rumors about the meeting between Fang Jun and Princess Changle have long been known in the streets and alleys, and everyone knows the ambiguous relationship between the two.As Fang Jun's army, how could Princess Changle suffer the slightest bit of danger?

Cheng Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If Princess Changle didn't have time to retreat and was caught by the rebels, it would be troublesome.

Don't say that this is just a mutiny, and the leader of the rebel army is the idiot that King Jin will not wantonly destroy the Taiji Palace, let alone kill. A war is a war. It is easy to do extreme things. Once a certain palace is occupied by the rebels, they can rob, burn, rape... anything.

All the way to Ganlu Hall, there are already forbidden troops guarding here, and they gather up the defenders of the inner heavy gate who are constantly fleeing, and Cheng Wuting who arrives, the number reaches 8000 people, and they are waiting in line.

However, although there are quite a few people, they still have to guard the defense line that is hundreds of feet long. It is difficult to prevent the rebels from attacking and breaking through where the troops are weak. Behind them is the Dragon Palace, and going south is the Wude Palace...

In the dark night, countless torches swarmed from the north and crashed into the defense line of the defenders.

Cheng Wuting waved the horizontal knife and shouted: "Array! Fight to the death!"

boom!The tide of rebels poured in like a flood, and the two sides fought in one place without any buffer.

Li Daozong and Yuwenshi followed slowly behind, and there were constant scouts reporting back the battle situation ahead.

Hearing that Cheng Wuting had led [-] troops outside the Xuande Gate into the palace to defend on the front line of Ganlu Hall, Yuwen Shiji was a little worried: "This son is a mighty general, and his subordinates are even more elite right guards, with fierce fighting power. If blocked by them, the situation may change."

Bing is very fast, if you can't capture Li Chengqian quickly, there will be too many variables when the Liu rate of the East Palace outside the city reacts and massively reinforces it.

Li Daozong turned a deaf ear to this, and squinted his eyes slightly to look at the Ganlu Palace under the night, and asked the scouts about the battle situation and situation ahead, and then issued a series of military orders.

Soon, thousands of "Beiya Forbidden Army" gathered to form a huge "Front Arrow Array" and rushed towards the defensive line on the left side of Ganlu Hall.

Because the defenders had to guard the hundreds of feet long line of defense, their forces were inevitably divided. When they were violently charged by a huge number of rebels, they suffered heavy casualties.

Cheng Wuting hurriedly led the troops to reinforce, with the horizontal knife in his palm flying up and down, slashing and stabbing as if entering no one's land, and after a while, his whole body was sprayed red with blood.

However, when he was able to block the rebels to make up the line of defense, the enemy formed a huge "front arrow formation", this time rushing towards the line of defense on the right side of the Ganlu Hall...

Between offense and defense, it is natural that the offensive side has a greater initiative. Such a continuous gathering of superior forces launches a fierce attack on the weak point of the defense line, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west. Although they are all blocked by the defenders, it also makes the defenders The army was exhausted, and the entire line of defense gradually loosened.

……

Inside the Hall of Martial Virtue, the lights were brightly lit.

Li Chengqian sat in the main seat, dressed in black robes, with a flat headband on his head, his white and fat face was indifferent, and his eyes were calm. It seemed that the chaotic situation in the Taiji Palace did not affect him at all, and soon There is some meaning of "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face"...

In front of him, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Liu Ji, Ma Zhou and other civil and military officials stood together.

Li Xiaogong looked remorseful, and said with regret: "How can Cheng Fan be so confused? Your Majesty treats him with grace and trust, yet he relies on the rebels to do such treasonous things, it's unbelievable! A humble minister belongs to precaution. Being able to detect his treasonous intentions in advance, causing His Majesty to encounter danger, is a death sentence!"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Li Daozong, and he had hinted it to Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously.Now that Li Daozong conspired to lead his troops into Xuanwu Gate, he couldn't say that this is His Majesty, you can take the blame if you don't listen to others, right?
The fault can only be borne by his minister...

Li Chengqian said softly: "Why is Uncle Wang doing this? Please get up quickly! People's hearts are separated, and Li Daozong's intentions are wrong and rebellious. How can you let Uncle Wang know beforehand? Don't blame yourself. In such a crisis, you still need the king." Uncle assists me to turn the tide and stabilize the country!"

A servant at the side stepped forward, helped Li Xiaogong up, and retreated to the side.

Li Ji came out and saluted: "The rebel army is powerful, and suddenly violent, the court was unable to react in time. I request an order to go out of the palace to contact the old department, contact the garrison, and enter the king of Beijing!"

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered, and he shook his head and said: "Young Duke is the pillar of the country, so he should be by my side at this time to support military affairs and make suggestions. As for the rebels who seem to be aggressive, in fact, I have already prepared for it."

Li Ji secretly sighed, His Majesty is deeply afraid of him...
