Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4412
When the news reached Wudemen, Fang Jun did not feel too much joy because Cheng Yaojin blocked the Xianyang Bridge. Even if An Yuanshou's You Xiaowei could not reach Chang'an, Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman could still contain Li Jing , Xue Wanche's army made them dare not enter the city to suppress the rebellion, and Yuwen Shi and the old thief were stirring up troubles in Guanzhong. Who knows if there will be another army or family who will be instigated by him to send troops to Chang'an.

Even if Cheng Yaojin was able to stop You Xiaowei, he would lose his troops and generals. Can he stop another army?
Even if he could stop it, would Cheng Yaojin try his best to stop it?
Therefore, no matter how fierce the fighting is around the sky and how the battle situation changes rapidly, the task of guarding the Wude Hall needs to be completed by the right guard.

Gao Kan pushed the door and walked in, carrying a cloud of wind and rain, and the damp and cold atmosphere instantly filled the entire value room. Autumn is coming to an end, winter is coming, and the temperature is getting lower and lower every day. If it is not for heavy rain, it should be full at this time. Eye White Cream.

"Marshal, the rebels' offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and it is very difficult for us to resist."

When Yu Chigong entered Chang'an City and joined Li Daozong, he launched a fierce offensive regardless of the cost. He once defeated the Right Tunwei, and finally relied on palaces, houses and other buildings to stabilize his position. The fierce offensive could not last long, and the tragic casualties made the rebels' psychology fluctuate violently, their morale dropped rapidly, and the offensive naturally eased down.

Now the offensive strength has been raised to the limit again, and it has been exhausted again and again. It is obvious that this time it must be a general attack by the rebels. If this time still fails to capture Wude Gate, Qianhua Gate and other palace gates, one of the gates will be opened. You Tunwei's defense line, then the rebels have to figure out how to withdraw from Chang'an and go into exile...

Therefore, the offensive this time must be unreserved and extremely ferocious. It is a test on the brink of a cliff for the Youtunwei, who has suffered a severe reduction in personnel. Once a certain line of defense is broken by the rebels, the consequences are likely to be soldiers Lost like a mountain.

Of course, as long as the onslaught of the rebels can be defended, this mutiny will almost end in victory...

Life and death, victory or defeat, between the front line, this is a decisive battle.

Fang Jun drank tea calmly, waved to Gao Kan, and called to him to pour him a cup of tea: "It's not the last moment, you, as a general, have to stabilize your mentality. confidence?"

Gao Kan stepped forward and sat opposite Fang Jun, held up his teacup, shook his head and said, "Of course there is confidence. Even without firearms, our armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry are still the best in the world. Yuchi Gong The elites under Li Daozong's command suffered huge losses, and it is difficult to stop our main force... But after all, the difference between victory and defeat is huge, the consequences are too serious, and the final general is a little worried about gains and losses."

Fang Jun nodded. This kind of mentality is inevitable. No matter how confident he is in his own strength, when facing life and death or even affecting the empire, everyone will inevitably be a little bit uncertain and worry about gains and losses.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

Nothing is absolute in the world...

"Notify the chief of the palace to take out all the meat and cook it. Tonight's dinner will be added to the reserve team. This is a battle of life and death. If you lose, it will be useless to keep more food."

This mutiny has been going on for a long time, and the logistical supplies in Taiji Palace are seriously insufficient. The secret passage is reserved for emergencies. Naturally, it is impossible to rashly activate it to replenish supplies. Therefore, the supplies in Taiji Palace cannot last for a few days now. Strict control, even His Majesty, concubines, princes and princesses also cut back on their diets, and persisted for as long as possible.

But it is no longer necessary now. The decisive battle will probably be launched tonight, and it must be a tragic and protracted battle. The main force is the reserve team reserved in advance. Replenish these soldiers as much as possible, so as to have a better chance of winning.

"Here! The last general will make arrangements."

Gao Kan got up, took the order, turned around and walked out, and went to inform the head of the palace who was in charge of logistics...

Fang Jun took a sip of the tea and found that the tea was already lukewarm. He put down his teacup and got up and went to the window. It was already the time of day, but the wind and rain were dark outside, dark clouds gathered, and the pouring rain shrouded the sky and the earth hazy, shouting to kill The sound came faintly from outside the Wude Gate, listen carefully, like a child's mourning and crying.

This is a war that shouldn't have existed, let alone happened, but Fang Jun is really involved in it now. Apart from the sorrow of cannibalism, he also thinks that this may be a turning point in history.

In history, His Majesty Li Er deposed the prince Li Chengqian when he was still alive. It seemed that the situation was calm, but in fact, relying on his unparalleled prestige, he suppressed all the waves below the surface and hid all the contradictions.When Li Zhi came to power, the backlash brought by the powerful family made him toss and turn, fearful in his heart, and had to rely on the slanted method of "abolishing the king and establishing martial arts" to reshape the balance above the court.

The woman Wu Mei did not disappoint Li Zhi's value and trust, forcibly tore a gap between the Guanlongmen Clan, and finally swept the Guanlongmen Clan into the dustbin of history.

As for "stealing the Tang Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty", it was a surprise for Li Zhi, even though Li Zhi had already been buried in the loess at that time...

However, even a monarch like Li Zhi, who thinks he is talented and general, can only "treat the symptoms but not the root cause". He realized the corruption and harm of the Guanlong clan to the imperial power and the country, but he could only support the Shandong family to fight against it. Guan Longmen valve.

When the Guanlong clan dissipated and dissipated, the imperial power failed to return to the emperor as expected, but collapsed from the Guanzhong area that could be controlled to the world. A national crisis is inevitable.

Even though Wu Mei, the first female emperor through the ages, is not inferior to all the emperors in the past and present, her act of usurping the Tang Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty almost wiped out the Li Tang clan, and at the same time completely crushed the foundation of the empire.

The rise of the imperial examination system did not fundamentally change the political monopoly of the aristocrats, and students from poor families were far from being able to compete with the children of aristocratic families who farmed, studied and passed down their families and collected thousands of books.

Li Longji is considered a generation of outstanding men, but he only used his own power to rein in the carriage of the empire on the road of collapse, and did not fall directly into the abyss in the power struggle after Wu Mei's death, that's all.

The strife between clans was so cruel that they had to seek more powerful support outside the court, so the local armed forces rose rapidly and became the solid cornerstone of clans in the local area.

Those powerful and wealthy clans who are rich and powerful don't care that the power framework of the empire is out of balance. The huge empire has reached the point where its foundations are rotten and top-heavy.

Until the turbulent turbulent river flowing next to the White Horse Post engulfed representatives of aristocratic families such as the Cui family of Boling, the Pei family of Wenxi, the Lu family of Wujun, and the Wang family of Taiyuan. The last glory of the aristocratic family was completely wiped out in the waves of history...

The aristocratic family is a double-edged sword. It also played a huge role in inheriting Chinese culture and unifying the territory of Kyushu. However, its selfish nature has brought disaster to the inheritance of the empire. Whether it is Han, Tang, Song, or The Ming Dynasty that "all the land illuminated by the sun and the moon is the territory".

And this mutiny started by King Li Zhi of Jin almost engulfed all the powerful people in the world, and suffered heavy damage and damaged their foundations. In the next 50 years, they will no longer be as prosperous as before, which gave the empire great room for turning around.

There is movable type printing, improved papermaking, and an education system that runs through Beijing, prefectures, counties, and townships from top to bottom. 50 years are enough to make education achieve unprecedented progress. Students from poor families can challenge powerful families through the imperial examination system monopoly.

Of course, under the current system, once a poor student is awarded an official in the imperial examination high school, it is possible to become a new "family" within a dozen years, continuing the all-round erosion of the country's finances, education, military, etc. by the aristocratic family.

There is a long way to go, and the revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to continue to work hard.

But after all, the road destined to perish has forked. Even though the future is uncertain, it is full of light...

*****
Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman led the troops to bypass Zuowuwei's position and meet near the Zhongwei Bridge. The two armies marched hand in hand through the rain, all the way towards Xuanwumen.

It was Li Daozong who guarded the Xuanwu Gate before, and then Li Daozong raised his troops and entered the Taiji Palace, causing Xuanwu Gate to be captured by Fang Jun and the right guards. No matter how you calculate it, the guards of Xuanwumen must be empty now.

Li and Liu would never do such a thing as forcing the right guards. The lessons learned from Yin and Qinzhou are not far away. Tens of thousands of troops were blown up by artillery. Who dares to bet on whether the artillery can exert its power in rainy days?

The army is their foundation, and now they rely on the army to win over the feudal side and make contributions, and they absolutely refuse to lose the army under the Xuanwu sect.

But since Xuanwumen was empty of troops, they had no choice but to give it a try. Xuanwumen was a strategically important place for the entire Taiji Palace and even Chang'an City. As long as they occupied Xuanwumen, they would have the upper hand in this war, which was of great strategic significance.

Once they can capture the Xuanwu Gate, it will be tantamount to making King Jin invincible. Li and Liu will never give up this credit...

On the way, passing the former site of the palace of the Han Dynasty, the corpses of the left-waiting guards who were killed by the artillery bombardment were piled up among the ruins and broken tiles before they had time to bury them, which made the soldiers of the two armies tremble with fear.

Amidst the rain ahead, the towering tower of Xuanwu Gate is looming in sight.

The scout hurriedly ran to Li Huaiqin, and said anxiously: "Jun Wang, Yin Qinzhou led an army from the north of Zhongwei Bridge, and rushed straight to the rear of our army!"

Li Huaiqin was taken aback, and cursed: "Is this guy still alive? He was beaten by Fang Er and left his helmet and armor. Instead of avenging his vengeance, he went to His Majesty's side instead? It's embarrassing and incompetent! Send the order down, The rear line stopped advancing and formed an array to block Yin Qinzhou, and the main force followed the king to attack Xuanwu Gate!"
