Tiantang Splendid

Li Daozong was frowning, staring at the map and thinking about how to break the door, while Yu Chigong was furious, but because Yu Wenshiji was on the side, he couldn't get angry, his black face shone and his eyebrows stood erect.

Scholar Yuwen knew he was wrong, and his energy was low, so he just sat aside and closed his eyes, sleepy...

For a while, the atmosphere was very dignified.

After a long while, Li Daozong let out a sigh, and sighed: "This old thief Li Jing is really powerful. He has occupied Chunming Gate with all his strength, and he will not move his nest at all. He will keep all coveted Chang'an out of the city gate."

Yu Chigong's anger subsided a little, and he said helplessly: "Who said it was not? Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were displayed outside the Chunming Gate, suppressing the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the entire Guanzhong, and no one dared to act rashly... and Fang Er, that guy, They actually sneaked back to You Tunwei single-handedly and put an end to Li Daliang's instigation, and even defeated Zuo Tunwei and Zuo Houwei consecutively, Chai Zhewei and Yin Qinzhou are really useless!"

Li Jing's strategic vision is unparalleled in the world. He would rather sit back and watch the Taiji Palace almost become a white ground and still stand still, watching the troops stationed in Guanzhong all over the place. Whoever dares to lead the army to Chang'an to support the King of Jin will suffer a head-on blow from Li Jing.

Although Li Jing has not led the army for many years, his reputation in the past has not diminished by half. Who in the world would dare to confront Li Jing face to face?
Fortunately, the Guanlongmen faction joined forces to force Yin Qinzhou to death, forcing Yin Qinzhou to cross the Wei River and attack Xuanwumen.

It stands to reason that this move can be called a stroke of genius, and it will completely break the stalemate at once. If someone takes the lead, the rest will naturally follow and send troops to Chang'an.It is not necessary for Yin Qinzhou to capture Xuanwumen or defeat Youtunwei. This posture is enough to trigger earth-shaking changes in the entire Guanzhong.

However, what I didn't expect was that the Youtunwei had hidden a lot of artillery, and the artillery fire that was enough to destroy the world killed the left guard under Yin Qinzhou's command, and was defeated. Before the king could move, the battle was over...

Those people were frightened by the powerful firepower of the Youtunwei, so naturally they died down.

The wave of attacking Chang'an that had not yet arisen was severely strangled to death...

Li Daozong shook his head: "Heroes come out of youth, look at what Fang Er has done in the past few years, we Zhenguan Xunchen are too old to be disobedient."

There is nothing more depressing than watching the younger generation rise up to be equal to yourself or even worse...

Yu Chigong couldn't help sighing, now that he was helpless in the face of Fang Jun, he naturally felt "the hero's twilight" in his heart.

But it's clear that he can still lift a knife...

Li Daozong paused, and said in a deep voice: "Although the right guard is fierce and good at fighting, but first he was instigated by Li Daliang, then fought against the left guard, and then fought with the left guard. The loss of troops was at least [-]% , the existing combatable soldiers are only more than [-], and some of them will stay behind to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and guard against the remnant soldiers of the left guard north of the Weishui River... Therefore, Fang Jun's troops in the palace now have a maximum of [-]. Left and right, we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength."

Yu Chigong had fought for half his life, and immediately understood: "The king's intention is to risk your life?"

"The fact that Youtunwei is equipped with firearms is beyond everyone's expectations. Fang Jun's blockade of the foundry bureau is really powerful, but the foundry bureau has been rebuilt on a piece of white land, how much can the output recover? In my opinion, even if the output is higher than ours It is expected to be more, but it is not much, and the projectile gunpowder is better, and the production of shells and thunderbolts is difficult and the process is cumbersome, so there may not be much stock.”

Li Daozong briefly expounded his guess on the stock of firearms in Youtunwei, and Yuchi Gong nodded in agreement.

Although the Ministry of War repeatedly emphasized the lack of money, food and materials when the Foundry Bureau was rebuilt and resumed work, which led to the continuous delay of the date of resumption of work, in fact, what the Foundry Bureau lacked the most was not these, but craftsmen.

Money and food can be allocated from internal funds, and materials can be dispatched from all over the world, but skilled craftsmen cannot be created out of thin air overnight, and only after strict training and long-term operation can they produce qualified firearms.

Even if Fang Jun manages the foundry bureau up and down as a monolith, outsiders will have no way of discovering its secrets, but the production of firearms cannot be conjured out of thin air...

The complex terrain around Wude Hall increased the consumption of firearms even more. When the firearms were exhausted, how would the Right Guards face the onslaught of several times the enemy?

Yu Chigong's cheek twitched violently. Once Li Daozong's strategy is adopted, it means that the soldiers under his command will have to risk the sharp firearms of the right guards to launch a decisive charge. It is all his wealth that Yu Chigong has accumulated for half his life...

However, the war has reached the current stage, where is there any room for him to choose?
Once King Jin's mutiny fails, he will inevitably die. As the number one "Hawk Dog" under King Jin's account, he, Yu Chigong, cannot die well...

There is only one way to live after death.

Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth: "Just do it!"

Li Daozong nodded, comfortingly said: "It may not be necessary to fight until the last soldier. One of the right guards has limited firearms. When the firearms are exhausted, the battle will be reversed. Then we only need to storm the Wude Palace. Li Jing is outside the city." It may not be possible to sit still, as long as Li Jing leads the army into the city to rescue the Taiji Palace, the troops stationed in Guanzhong will take advantage of the situation and rush to Chang'an."

The siege of Chang'an, which was strangled to death by Fang Jun's artillery before it even started, may be able to continue.

After finishing speaking, Li Daozong looked at Yuwen Shiji who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead: "It is still necessary for you, Duke Ying, to go to His Highness and discuss with His Highness how to get out of the city to contact the clans and troops in Guanzhong. King Jin's side, send troops to besiege Chang'an."

Yuwen Shiji rested for a while, regained some energy, heard that it was not good to procrastinate, got up and said: "The old man will go to His Highness's place now, if it is impossible, he will leave this old bone and run around again."

He understood what Li Daozong meant, and hoped that he could persevere and continue to lobby all parties. After all, he was the one who was in charge of contacting the clans and the army in Guanzhong before.

But after all, he is old and frail, and Li Daozong is too embarrassed to say so, so he can only wait for him to propose...

Sure enough, Li Daozong nodded when he heard the words: "Duke Ying has done a lot of hard work, fortunately."

Yuwen Shiji didn't say much, walked out of the temple, stood on the stone steps in front of the temple, looked up at the dark night sky, felt the chill of the cool wind blowing on his body, shook his head and sighed, followed by Going down the stone steps, under the retinue of his own servants and soldiers, he rode to Chengtianmen.

Behind him, more than a dozen school lieutenants rushed out from the hall, carrying orders to the troops everywhere. After Yuwen Shi arrived at Chengtian Gate, he followed the horse path and came to the bottom of the tower. Looking back, he saw In the dark night, countless torches gathered towards Wude Hall like moths, and then muskets rang together, sometimes mixed with thunderous roars, the right guard under Yu Chigong's command and Li Daozong's army began to launch a tidal wave towards Wude Hall Onslaught, even in the face of the sharp firearms of Youtunwei, still not retreating half a step, no matter the cost.

Rows of imperial guards and retinues were waiting in strict formation on the city, with swords and guns like forests, and armor lined up, full of murderous aura.

The lights in the city tower are brilliant and bright as day.

When Yu Wenshi entered the tower, he saw that Li Zhi was sitting behind the desk discussing matters with Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang and others, so he hurried forward to greet him.

Li Zhi got up from the writing case and came to Yu Wenshi and his body. He put his hands on his shoulders to help him up. Seeing Yu Wenshi's face haggard and lack of energy, he asked with concern: "Mr. Ying is not feeling well?"

Yuwen Shiji sighed and said, "I'm old and decrepit. I'm really ashamed that I can't be encouraged by Your Highness."

"Where do you start with this? The reason why this king is able to stand here is all thanks to the gift of Duke Ying. If you hadn't cooperated in the vertical and horizontal communication, I am afraid that I have already encountered the poisonous hands of the false emperor and lost the army to the pawns of the false emperor." Under the persecution, you have worked hard and made great achievements, and this king will remember it in his heart."

Although the Guanlongmen faction suffered heavy losses one after another, and its power was less than one-twelfth of its heyday, it was still a land tiger that had been entrenched in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, and the interests of all parties were intertwined, so it must not be ignored.

For example, this time, Yuwen Shiji worked tirelessly in all directions. Although it seemed that there was no significant effect on the bright side, the entire clan and army in Guanzhong basically said that once the situation reversed, they would completely stand by him, the King of Jin. .

The most important thing is to instigate rebellion against Li Daozong and Li Daliang. The former directly entered the Taiji Palace from Xuanwumen, completely overthrowing Li Chengqian's previous strategy, and was only a short distance away from the victory of the mutiny. Otherwise, the full-staffed Right Tunwei is equipped with firearms, and under the command of Fang Jun, the entire Taiji Palace may have been pacified already.

Compared with Yuwen Shiji, Xiao Yu, who first encouraged him to raise the flag and launch a mutiny, seems to be ineffective...

Li Zhi helped the Yuwen scholar and sat down, and called Xiao Yu and others to sit down, and then asked: "This king heard that the attack on the side of the Wude Hall has suddenly intensified. Duke Ying came from the side of the Wude Hall. What is the specific situation?"

Yuwen Shiji explained the current situation clearly, and then explained Li Daozong and Yu Chigong's strategy of "fighting with their lives at all costs", and finally said: "The current situation is difficult, there is a thin line between victory and defeat, and there are soldiers at every turn. Concerned about defeat, King Jiangxia and Lord E have given up everything just to assist His Royal Highness in defeating the false emperor and assuming the throne of God... Once the Hall of Wude can't withstand our mad attack, Li Jing will surely lead the army into the city to serve the king and defend the city of Chang'an. Emptiness, then will be the best opportunity for all the armies in Guanzhong to go to Chang'an... Although the old man is exhausted and weak, but for the great cause of His Highness, he is willing to travel around and connect in the middle, and the entire Guanlong Gate will be surrounded by His Highness. Do your best and die!"

To this day, the Guanlongmen Clan has no way to retreat, and can only be tied to King Jin.

Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have taken risks, turned dangers into disasters, and finally achieved great achievements. Thinking about the fact that the entire Guanlong Clan under the leadership of Changsun Wuji abandoned Li Jiancheng to support His Majesty Li Er, isn't it the same as the current situation?
As long as the final outcome is victorious, then he Yuwen Shiji is comparable to the existence of Changsun Wuji, and is worthy of the honor and status of the leader of the Guanlongmen clan...
