Tiantang Splendid

The wind and rain at the Xianyang bridgehead were dark, Zuo Wuwei kept his strength and did not want to do his best, so he retreated again and again, while You Xiaowei, under the leadership of An Yuanshou who looked like a mad tiger, rushed forward crazily without regard to casualties, forcing almost the entire bridgehead Give up the position.

Cheng Yaojin was wondering whether to go all out to block You Xiaowei's advance, when news came that Yuwen Shi and the private army led by the Guanlongmen Faction had arrived...

There was no way to retreat, so in desperation he could only order the whole army to advance, and must hold the Xianyang Bridge to cut off the road from Guanzhong to Chang'an, expressing loyalty to Li Chengqian.

Otherwise, once the rebels break into Chang'an, no matter who wins in the end, Cheng Yaojin cannot bear the consequences...

Niu Jinda went into battle and led his army to directly attack An Yuanshou's main force.

Zuo Wuwei is the most powerful existence among the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty. These years of fighting in the south and north and fighting in the east and west have never failed. You Xiaowei retreated step by step, he already felt dissatisfied, if Cheng Yaojin's prestige was not enough to suppress the whole army, there would have been complaints and a decline in morale.

At this moment, under Cheng Yaojin's order to defend the Xianyang Bridge at all costs, the whole army immediately launched a countercharge with red eyes and yelled, and killed the right guard, thinking that the left guard would be vulnerable Such a right Xiaowei was beaten in a daze, and suddenly fell into chaos. He was hit head-on by Niu Jinda's army, and he retreated more than tens of feet.

Yuwen Shiji finally led his army to the north of Xianyang Bridge, without making any adjustments, he directly ordered the army to cross the river along the previously laid pontoon bridge. After crossing the river, he detoured from the right wing of the battlefield, avoided the center of the battlefield, and went straight to the rear of the left guard.

Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, the morale of You Xiaowei was greatly boosted. Under the leadership of An Yuanshou, he was able to withstand Zuo Wuwei's counterattack and fought fiercely again.

Cheng Yaojin released the ready-to-go reserve team to withstand Yuwen Shiji's private army. He was full of confidence in his army, and even if Yuwen Shiji came to reinforce him, he could defeat it, but he was worried and sighed about the inevitable increase in casualties.

He is unwilling to fight the rebels here no matter in terms of preserving strength or pity for soldiers, but the situation has come to this point, and he has no room for maneuver. In Chang'an, no matter how generous Li Chengqian is, it is impossible for him to let the past go, and if King Jin wins in the end, his fate will be even worse...

Niu Jinda led the army to charge for a while to stabilize the situation, suppressed the rebels near the bridgehead and then retreated back. He also knew the truth of a cornered beast, he could not push the rebels too hard, otherwise the rebound would be violent, and Zuo Wuwei could not bear such a loss.

Watching Niu Jinda take off his pocket and wipe the rain and sweat off his face with a handkerchief, Cheng Yaojin sighed, turned around and asked the captain behind him: "How is the situation in Chang'an?"

The captain replied: "Li Huaiqin was defeated by the prince's left guard. When retreating, Li Huaiqin was captured by the left guard Yin Yuan. Liu Keman stormed the Xuanwu gate and was blocked by the prince's left guard. The whole army abandoned their weapons. Surrender...Wei Gong is still sitting outside Chunming Gate, Xue Wanche is also sitting still at Mingde Gate, as for the battle situation in Taiji Palace, we don't know for now..."

Hearing that Li Huaiqin was defeated and captured, and Liu Keman disarmed and surrendered, Cheng Yaojin snorted and cursed: "These two idiots!"

Turning to Niu Jinda, he clicked his lips and exclaimed: "It seems that His Majesty has been prepared for a long time, and he is not afraid that the rebels will be able to capture the Hall of Wude. Not to mention what his preparations are, it is just that the rebels are still in the same position when they come to the city. The immovable spirit of a mountain is a bit of the spirit of Emperor Taizong."

Niu Jinda was a little rejoicing: "Fortunately, we swear allegiance to His Majesty, otherwise, after His Majesty suppressed the rebels, cracked down on the elites, and stabilized the imperial power, wouldn't we have to be skinned?"

Cheng Yaojin was also a little afraid: "Who knew that your majesty was cautious and lacking in courage when he was the crown prince, but he was so eager for quick success and full of courage after he took the throne? He actually let the king of Jin pull people and horses to unite with the powerful from all over the world. He sat firmly in the military seat. In the Hall of Virtue, I invite you to join me...Fang Er has become popular."

Looking back now, I realize that the king of Jin was able to raise troops, garrison Tongguan, wait for the support of elites in Shandong, Jiangnan and other places, and even successfully entered Chang'an City, which may not have been the result of His Majesty's intentional connivance.

The process is indeed very dangerous. After all, it may happen at any time when the rebel army is approaching the city, but as long as the danger is overcome and the rebel army is wiped out, then what awaits Li Chengqian will be a peaceful and completely controlled court for at least 20 years. The risk is high, the return is high, and it is indeed worth fighting for.

Among them, Fang Jun's role can be described as "the greatest contribution". It is conceivable that when Li Chengqian is firmly on the throne, Fang Jun will be simple in the emperor's heart and give power to the government...

As Fang Jun is a staunch "anti-family faction", the future government will inevitably be turbulent, and the good days of the powerful family are almost coming to an end.

The new emperor ascended the throne, a turbulent era...

Looking at the fierce battle at the head of Xianyang Bridge, Cheng Yaojin suddenly lost his interest. The victory or defeat here has nothing to do with the overall situation. With the two armies of Li Jing and Xue Wanche stationed around Chang'an, the destruction of the rebels will be a matter of time, even if Guanzhong No matter how many troops rush to Chang'an, the defeat will not be reversed, and all of this is under the manipulation of Li Chengqian, Fang Jun and even Li Zhi. The times have changed. The big waves swept and drowned in the waves.

Either go ashore completely and live up to the old age, or the ship capsizes and dies.

The center of the court is no longer the era when these meritorious and veteran officials can control it at will...

……

On the south bank of the Weishui River, Yuwen Shi and Linghu Defen saw An Yuanshou, who was wearing several wounds and had to take off for medical treatment. Holding the half-cut arrow shaft, counting the knife edge bleeding profusely, sitting in a temporary canopy to receive treatment from the army doctor, his face was gloomy and silent, only the tightly frowned eyebrows could show the alcohol The pangs of cleansing wounds.

Yu Wenshi went up to check it, and saw that although there were many wounds, it was not fatal, so he comforted him: "The general is the champion of the three armies, and it is best to rest for a while. When the enemy's spirit is gone, we will work together to defeat it. , rushed to Chang'an to stabilize the overall situation, and will surely be able to make a contribution from the dragon, shine in the history, be famous for future generations, and be admired by all people in the world."

An Yuanshou had an unruly temperament, even in the face of Yuwen Shi and such Guanlong leaders, he was not very polite, so he snorted coldly, pursed his lips tightly and kept silent.

Over the years, he was used to running rampant in Liangzhou and other places, beating the local barbarians into obedience, which fueled his pride, and he didn't take the heroes of the world seriously.For example, Fang Jun, if he hadn’t been so lucky, if An Yuanshou’s soldiers went out of the Bai Dao, he would still be able to destroy Xue Yantuo, still be able to wipe out the Dashi army, and still be able to assist Li Chengqian in defeating the Guanlong Mutiny; I will definitely be able to follow His Majesty Li Er to sweep the world and make great contributions to the country.

The reason why he failed to achieve great honors was simply because he was trapped in the land of Xiliang, never caught up with the turmoil in Chang'an, let alone participated in it...

So when he heard that the King of Jin had already entered the Taiji Palace, he immediately assembled all his troops and horses, vowing to shine in this war of redistribution of power in the center of the empire, and thereby win the reward of feudalism and statehood.

The An family in Liangzhou was born in Anxi in ancient times, and took the country as their family. After the fall of Anxi, they fled thousands of miles to the land of the Han people.

However, as a descendant of the An family, how can we not think about the origin of the blood?

It's just that the motherland has been dead for too long...

Now that King Jin promised to reward meritorious ministers and feudal officials after ascending the throne, An Yuanshou decided to go east to Chang'an no matter what, so as to lay a solid foundation for the descendants of An's family in Liangzhou.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at Xianyang Bridge, he was hit head-on by Zuo Wuwei, only to realize that the army he used to be so proud of had little chance of winning in front of Zuo Wuwei, if the opponent hadn't retreated step by step and refused to do his best If Yuwen Shi hadn't come to support in time, I am afraid that You Xiaowei would have been defeated at this moment.

Zuo Wuwei, who was pushed to Xianyang Bridge to block the road, is so brave and good at fighting. It is conceivable that the Six Rates of the East Palace in Chang'an, Xue Wanche's Right Wuwei, and even the Youtunwei who fought fiercely with several times the enemy What a tyrannical combat power.

Even if he breaks through the Xianyang Bridge and reaches Chang'an City, can he win favor with those troops?
At the most important moment, he was blocked at the Xianyang Bridge, and the situation in Chang'an was changing rapidly. At this time, there was still no news from Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman.

An Yuanshou thought about it, and regretted it in his heart. If he knew this, he would never go east to Chang'an because of the temptation to covet Jianguo, and ended up in a dilemma...

Jin is definitely not able to enter, not to mention that even if the two armies join forces to break through Zuo Wuwei's defensive position, they have to peel off a layer of skin. Even if they break through Zuo Wuwei and arrive at Chang'an City, maybe Jin The king has been pacified and wiped out, even if he still has his breath left, can he really support Jin Wang to change his life and ascend the throne under the encirclement and suppression of the Six Rates of the East Palace, You Wuwei, and You Tunwei?

You can't retreat, and behind you is the Weishui River, which is emptied by rolling waves and turbid waves. Once you retreat, your morale will be weakened and your army's morale will collapse.

But it's not impossible to use other methods...

An Yuanshou allowed the military doctor to heal his wounds, and said in a deep voice: "My An family has received the favor of the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way to repay it. We can only swear allegiance to the death. The last wish of Emperor Taizong is that Jin King He came to the throne, and the king of Jin also has the edict of Emperor Taizong's succession to the throne, which is the object of our allegiance. Even if Li Chengqian steals the throne and Fang Jun and others help the emperor to abuse him, why should we be afraid? To be buried on the banks of the Weishui River, at the head of the Xianyang Bridge, you have to fight to prevent you from reaching Chang'an, and to support the king of Jin to ascend to the throne!"

Yuwen Shiji nodded again and again: "It should be so!"

An Yuanshou was full of aura, and did not weaken his aura due to wearing several wounds. He said loudly: "Let's join forces. Later, please ask Duke Ying to lead the troops to continue to attack the enemy's rear. I will attack from the front. There is no need to attack." Completely annihilate Zuo Wuwei, just to break a road and go straight to Chang'an."
