Tiantang Splendid

4359--Andrew Rebels crossing the river
Everyone in the tent was very excited, and finally saw a chance of victory.

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, there was not a day of stability, and he could not afford to cultivate his cronies. More than [-]% of the entire Taiji Palace was left by the old people left by Emperor Taizong. In this situation, the Taiji Palace is like a big sieve leaking everywhere, and it is difficult to block the news. As if ascending to the sky, at this time the rebel army approached the city, but it gave Li Chengqian a good opportunity to use the army to block the news and isolate China and foreign countries.

But also because of this, no matter how unbelievable news spread in the Taiji Palace, outsiders have no way to verify it.

Li Zhi patted the table and said: "This matter is decided here. Song Guogong will be in charge of the operation, and Chu Huangmen will assist from the side. We must build a mighty momentum so that the entire Guanzhong will be suspicious of the emperor's life and death, so that we can fish in troubled waters." , Take millet from the fire."

"...Your Highness has learned from you that the old minister is old and frail, and his energy is weak. It is difficult to handle such a major event. If something goes wrong, it will be unforgivable. It is better for the Chu Huang family to take charge and the veteran to assist."

Xiao Yu doesn't need meritorious service at all now, as long as King Jin succeeds in ascending to the position, he will be a proper follower of the dragon. In the credit book of King Jin, only Yu Chigong can keep pace with him, and the rest are insignificant.That being the case, why bother to show off the limelight?

Spreading rumors and slandering the death of the emperor, once the king of Jin is defeated, the emperor wants to forgive him and Xiao Yu fails to do so.

Li Zhi didn't know what Xiao Yu was thinking, and praised him: "Mr. Song Guo is really a seasoned strategist. Not only does he have a strategy, but he is also willing to guide and guide the younger ones. The so-called high morale is nothing more than that."

He looked at Chu Suiliang: "Then Chu Huangmen will handle this matter, maybe he is competent?"

Chu Suiliang came here completely under the coercion of Xiao Yu. He had no way out, and naturally he had no enterprising spirit. He only wanted to be a bastard with a very poor sense of existence, and tried his best to avoid being liquidated in the future without seeking "the merits of the dragon" , How could he be willing to become King Jin's "minister of the humerus"?
Hastily declined and said: "The lower official has never been in charge of one side alone, and has been responsible for the transmission of documents and drafting edicts by the late emperor, but has never performed the actual work. He lacks experience and lack of resume. How dare he take on such a big task? His Royal Highness can entrust him with important tasks. You have a broad mind, but the lower officials absolutely dare not make any mistakes at this time."

Li Zhi thought for a while, and felt that what Chu Suiliang said made sense. After all, although this person had always been favored by the late emperor, he was mostly good at literature, and his ability to deal with practical affairs had not been demonstrated. Regarding the disposal of the latter's manuscript between Wei Zheng, it can be seen that this person's character is questionable.

It is indeed not appropriate to entrust such a major matter to him rashly...

But besides these two, who else can do it?Li Zhi couldn't help but secretly sighed. This time the army was indeed rushed. Although he took the lead in "fulfilling the late emperor's last wish" and could get more people's sympathy and even support, it also led to a shallow foundation. No one can use it.

He sighed and said: "This king also knows that this matter is difficult for you, but you have seen the current situation. There is only a thin line between victory and defeat. Others may be more capable, but how can this king believe and entrust you What about the important task? Chu Huangmen don’t shirk this matter, let’s make it difficult.”

So far, what else can Chu Suiliang say?

I could only suppress my reluctance, and put on a grateful look: "Your Highness has entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, how can I not know what is good or bad? Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to complete this matter in order to repay Your Highness's understanding." kindness."

Li Zhi showed his face and said: "It should be like this! You and my monarchs and ministers support each other, and their benefits can cut through gold. What difficult things are there in the world? Take it to the future to achieve great things, and we will share the world with Qing and others!"

Chu Suiliang nodded repeatedly, but secretly complained in his heart.

After this matter is completed, he will be completely blacklisted by His Majesty. As long as King Jin fails, he will inevitably be held accountable by His Majesty.

At this point, he actually wanted to do things for King Jin sincerely, praying to God and Buddha to bless King Jin to achieve great things.

Glancing at Xiao Yu who was at the side, his teeth itch with hatred, the old thief picked it up by himself, but pushed him into the fire pit with one hand.

In addition, I forced myself to write the "confession" before, which made me have to commit myself to the King Jin's camp, completely against my will, and even implicated the entire Qiantang Chu family, which is really lacking. Daeduk...

*****
Under the Xuanwu Gate, night fell, the drums rumbled, the smoke filled the air, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Although the troops of the right guards have an absolute advantage, and they have more firearms, and their combat power is more than one notch higher than that of the defenders on the city, but because the defenders occupy an absolute advantage, and the guards of the right dare not use firearms to cause damage to the city wall, so the battle continued. Time froze.

Not far from the city, Gao Kan stood behind Fang Jun and looked at the fire on the city, worried: "The defenders are very tenacious, these are troops brought out by Li Daozong, knowing that Li Daozong is in danger at the moment, so they all played It's a bit difficult to contribute to the Xuanwu Gate if you defend the city with your life."

Sun Renshi on the side suggested: "The situation in the palace is extremely dangerous. Every moment of delay, the danger of Wude Hall will increase. It is better to use gunpowder to blow up a gap in the city wall so that we can quickly contribute to the Xuanwu Gate and fight with the guards in the palace." The army attacked back and forth and defeated Li Daozong."

Of course he understood that the reason why Fang Jun did not agree to use gunpowder blasting to blow up the city wall was to prevent another army from coming to attack Taiji Palace, but now that Xuanwu Gate has cut off the communication inside and outside Taiji Palace, no one knows what Wude Palace is currently. In the current situation, if Li Daozong invaded the Wude Palace first and controlled His Majesty, everything else would be meaningless.

Fang Jun was very steady, with his expression as usual: "Don't be impatient. Your Majesty stayed in the Wude Hall because he was worried that the morale of the army would be affected. Since he dared to stay, he naturally had a way to protect himself. The Xuanwu Gate must be kept intact, otherwise it would be considered a quick attack." Entering the Tai Chi Palace, who can guarantee that others will not chase us and beat us? At that time, the Xuanwu Gate will be in danger, and the entire Tai Chi Palace will be reduced to a battlefield, leaving only a white field in the end."

He didn't really care whether the Taiji Palace survived or not. Anyway, sooner or later, the palace would be destroyed in the chaos of war, and not even a brick or a half tile could survive in future generations.But without the barrier of Xuanwumen, the enemy can easily launch a large-scale surprise attack. How can the right guards and the palace defenders resist it?

The three of them returned to the tent, and before they had time to take a sip of tea after taking their seats, Wang Fangyi rushed in and said loudly, "Commander, something is wrong! The left guard has already built a pontoon bridge on the north bank of the Weishui River, recruited boats, and advanced troops We have crossed the Wei River!"

The three were taken aback.

Master Sun Ren was astonished and said, "Is Yin Qinzhou crazy? Now that all the garrison troops in Guanzhong stand by and watch the fire from the other side, how could he dare to risk the world's displeasure by leading his troops across the river?"

The current situation is unclear, and whoever joins in hastily may suffer a huge backlash. Once the consequences are unimaginable, he would rather miss the opportunity than take the risk. Whoever ends up at this time is a fool.

Yin Qinzhou acted like he was aware of current affairs before. Although the troops stationed in the north of the Weishui River were very safe and guarded, even the scouts sent near the Xuanwu Gate showed their whereabouts as much as possible so that the right guards could take precautions to express themselves Being open and upright made Fang Jun believe that he did it out of necessity and had to lead the army here, but he had no intention of arrogating himself.

Why did they suddenly go uncharacteristically and start leading the army across the river and approaching Chang'an?

Fang Jun thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid this is not Yin Qinzhou's original intention. Otherwise, Wang Fangyi would not have shown such restraint when he went to pass on the message. If it is not bad, it must be that the Guanlongmen Clan has re-emerged. What a moth, forcing Yin Qinzhou to send troops to Chang'an."

In the final analysis, the Yin family in Liquan was not from Guanlong's lineage, and it was entirely possible to force the Guanlong clan to send troops to Chang'an regardless of the life and death of the Yin family in Liquan at the time of life and death.

Although the Guanlong Clan is in decline, they are centipedes, dead but not stiff, and if they want to gather the power of the entire clan to force a mere Liquan Yin family, they can still do it...

Gao Kan said worriedly: "It doesn't matter whether Yin Qinzhou is really crazy or not, it is inevitable to lead the army to cross the river. Should we suspend the attack on Xuanwumen and concentrate on dealing with Yin Qinzhou's left guard?"

Although the left guard is not the first-class combat power among the sixteen, but the strength is close to 3, and its strength should not be underestimated. is trouble.

There is no fluke on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, you may lose the whole game, so you must not have the slightest chance of luck.

And once the Right Tunwei appears to be defeated, the rest of the Guanzhong garrisons who are watching from the other side may not brazenly attack under the bewilderment of the Guanlongmen Clan. This is a situation that the emperor, Fang Jun and the imperial army tried their best to avoid.

At that time, the situation will be completely out of control, and only relying on the Right Tunwei and the Sixth Commander of the East Palace can only protect the emperor to evacuate Chang'an and escape to Hexi...

Fang Jun got up and came to the map, his gaze first stayed on the north bank of the Weishui River, and then he patrolled east and west along the Weishui River, groaning for a while.

Once the Right Guards captured Xuanwu Gate, they would use Xuanwu Gate as a key point of defense, and at the same time divide their troops into Taiji Palace to surprise Li Daozong's rear army, so as to achieve a pincer attack with the defenders and relieve the danger of Wude Palace.

At that time, the vast area north of Xuanwumen will be short of troops, and the Wei River will not be able to become a natural barrier to prevent other troops from raiding Xuanwumen.

The entire city of Chang'an may be caught in the flames of war. When the time comes, armies from all sides will go to Chang'an to start a scuffle, and the situation will be completely out of control...

This is completely contrary to the original purpose of "leading the king into the trap".

"Introducing the emperor into the trap" is to jump out one by one those elites who refuse to submit to the imperial rule, instead of leading them all to Chang'an...

After being silent for a while, Fang Jun was a little helpless: "Order the artillery unit to get ready, try to defeat the left guard in one fell swoop, and then concentrate our forces to enter the Xuanwu Gate and surprise Li Daozong."

The firearms produced by the Foundry Bureau are enough to equip the entire Youtunwei army, making Youtunwei the only army equipped with all firearms at present, and its combat power is unmatched in the world.He hid these firearms for a long time. Even though he was threatened by Zuotun Wei Chai Zhewei at the beginning of Li Daliang's rebellion, Gao Kan obeyed his order and did not take out the firearms to kill the Quartet. Hiding it is to hide their strength, so that those who have a heart of disobedience among the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong will jump out and eradicate them one by one.

But now that Yin Qinzhou suddenly led his army across the Wei River, the situation seemed to be getting out of control, and Fang Jun didn't dare to continue taking risks.

It can only be a thunderous blow, shocking the crowd.

But almost all those who should jump out have jumped out. Occasionally, one or two people who are too deep in the city hide too well, and there is nothing they can do for a while, so let them continue to hide. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it sooner or later...
