Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 804 Decisive Battle at Luoyang Palace (2)

"Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened, something big happened!"

All the arrangements had been completed long before Zishi, but Empress Wu did not dare to sleep peacefully, and stayed in the main hall of Lishuixuan all the time, passing the impatient time by reviewing papers. It was very low, and after midnight, only five insignificant papers were approved in total. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn and the main drama was about to begin, Empress Wu had no intention of wasting time on such trivial matters. When he was thinking of calling someone to come in to wait for him to clean up, he saw Wu Sansi in armor, sweating profusely, barging in from outside the hall, bluffing anxiously while running.

"Ok?"

Seeing Wu Sansi so flustered, Empress Wu's heart sank involuntarily, but the city was deep, so she didn't show any panic, she just pulled her face down and snorted coldly.

"I want to report to your empress, the crown prince led all his officials in sackcloth and filial piety, and they have already arrived at the square outside the palace. The matter has been leaked, and please ask your empress to make a final decision!"

Wu Sansi was out of control at this moment, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, so he started yelling anxiously, with a look of frustration on his face.

"What? Erke can see clearly?"

No matter how calm Empress Wu was, at this moment, she couldn't sit still any longer, she got up suddenly, stared at her phoenix eyes, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Going back to your mother, my nephew has seen it clearly in the Guancheng, and I can't be wrong. I hate that Pei Xingjian and other villains have followed the prince to make a fuss. The morale of the army is not stable. Your mother, you have to make up your mind. stop."

According to the scheduled plan, Wu Sansi was responsible for assisting Cheng Wuting in guarding the Xuanwu gate. He thought that the matter was confidential and would be a great achievement, but he never expected that Li Xian would mobilize a group of officials to force the palace together. The act of attacking the palace ban, but the defenders on the pass city were already talking about it. Before the war started, the morale of the army was already in chaos. The son was also flustered when he saw Empress Wu, and his heart sank immediately.

"Damn it! Come on, tell me that General Ge Gong will come to see Ben Gong immediately!"

Empress Wu was not good at military affairs, and faced with such a big event of forcing the palace, she couldn't help being a little bit blind. Fortunately, she was still clear-headed, so she hurriedly ordered the eunuch who was waiting by her side to summon Gar Yingong to come to discuss .

"promise!"

Now that Empress Wu had spoken, an eunuch who was waiting on her side hurriedly agreed, and hurried out of the hall without hesitation, and accompanied Gar Yingong, who had heard the news, Turned back.

"At the end of the day, I will see the Queen of Heaven!"

Although Gar Yingong was not in charge of the defense of Guancheng, he would not fail to hear the noise in the square outside the palace, and this was the reason why he rushed to meet Empress Wu without waiting The reason is that he was not frightened by the huge momentum outside, even when he saw Empress Wu, he was not in a hurry to speak, but did a military salute in a calm and calm manner.

"Aiqing came at the right time, and the matter has come to this, what should we do?"

Seeing that Gar Yingong was so calm and confident, Empress Wu's flustered heart suddenly calmed down a little, but the worry was still palpable.

"Your Majesty, it's just a barking dog outside, so there's no need to worry."

Gar Yingong smiled confidently, and gave a conclusion with ease.

"Oh, how do you see it?"

Hearing what Gar Yingong said, Empress Wu's spirit immediately lifted, and she hurriedly continued to ask questions.

"Qi Madam, although Pei Xingjian and others are bewitched by the crown prince, they will definitely not follow the crown prince to attack the palace ban, but will try their best to prevent it. Therefore, as long as the palace ban is not broken, the general situation is still with me. In the end, there will be three strategies for the empress to choose."

Gar Yingong had already planned the overall situation before coming to the audience, and now he answered Empress Wu's question with confidence.

"Aiqing, let me talk about it with Ben Gong."

What Empress Wu was afraid of was that there was no way to do it. Hearing that Gar Yingong actually had three strategies, the tense heartstrings relaxed a lot, and she nodded in relief, signaling to Gar Yingong to continue talking in detail.

"No, I think that when the situation is chaotic, if the empress kisses the city wall, it will surely disturb the morale of the bandits' army. Once the imperial decree is announced, the enemy will surely be defeated, and then the army will take advantage of the chaos to attack. A great victory can be expected. It is the best strategy; order General Li to go out of the Tongxun Gate, first break through the East Palace, and end the prince's lair, in order to disturb the morale of the army, and then attack with an army, and the enemy can be defeated. This is the middle strategy; When everything is changing, it is the worst policy to announce to the world, to depose the crown prince, to install another crown prince, and to delay the change; with these three policies, it is easy to destroy the thief!"

The fundamental purpose of Gar Yingong infiltrating the Tang Dynasty was to get rid of Li Xian, the enemy who killed his father and destroyed the country. As for how much turmoil the Tang Dynasty would experience after this catastrophe, it was not in his consideration. Speaking of the solution, it is as bloody as it can be. Of course, until now, there is no possibility of compromise between the two opposing parties. If one party falls, the matter will not be over. In this sense Speaking of it, although Gar Yingong's three strategies are vicious, they are also necessary.

"Okay, Ben Gong will go to the city and go to the city, come and drive Xuanwumen!"

Empress Wu is a courageous person. Hearing that Gar Yingong's analysis is so thorough, she will not hesitate at all, and hastily issued an order, intending to take the best policy. As for the people who gathered in the square The lives of many courtiers, but Empress Wu didn't bother to care about so many.

"promise!"

Now that Empress Wu had made up her mind, the eunuchs who heard the news did not dare to be negligent, and after agreeing to the promise in unison, they arranged soft chariots and other ceremonial guards chaotically. He rushed over to the Xuanwu Gate not far away.

"Stop, stop!"

Lishui Xuan is not too far away from Xuanwu Gate, only more than [-] zhang away, and there is only a small square in the middle. Empress Wu and his party walked very fast, and within a short time, they had already reached the center of the square. Kankan was about to reach the Guancheng, the victory seemed to be within easy reach, Empress Wu's tense face showed a hint of relief, but Gar Yingong, who was walking on the side of the soft chariot, suddenly stopped He waved his hand with a wild expression, and roared loudly.

"What's the meaning of this, Aiqing!"

When Gar Yingong yelled, the whole team suddenly went into chaos, and Empress Wu couldn't help being furious, but she didn't break out because of this. Instead, Gar Yingong asked displeasedly. .

"Niang Niang, something is wrong, Cheng Wuting is an internal response, hurry up, return to Lishui Xuan!"

In desperation, Gar Yingong didn't care about the formalities, and immediately wanted to give orders for Empress Wu.

"What? This, this..."

Hearing what Gar Yingong said, Empress Wu panicked immediately, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly. Cheng Wuting's deployment of the traitor's troops is more important than the front and the rear is heavy. It is clearly to defend the inside but not the outside. This is to trap the empress in the city. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The deployment of troops around the city wall is strange, others can't see it, but Gar Yingong is a general, so he can see what's wrong at a glance. He doesn't want to fall into the trap for nothing. Empress Wu was still dumbfounded, her eyes turned red immediately, she wished she could grab Empress Wu and turn around and run back, but rationality told him that he must not mess up at this time, otherwise, he would not wait for Li Xian's subordinates. After entering the palace, the ambushes arranged around were afraid that they would start immediately, so he had no choice but to lower his voice and explain briefly.

"Go back to Lishuixuan, think twice, and send troops to help immediately, hurry up!"

After what Gar Yingong said, Empress Wu finally came to her senses, and she dared not go to Guancheng again. When she ordered to return to the chariot, she did not forget to ask Wu Sansi to call Yuan Yu who was loyal to her As for the officers and soldiers of the Lin army, as for whether those veteran soldiers can do anything, Empress Wu has already given up so much.

"General, look quickly, Empress Tianhou has suddenly transferred back to Lishuixuan."

On the gate tower, Cheng Wuting, who had just secretly controlled several generals of the Yulin Army under Wu Sansi, was busy preparing to completely change the deployment, but was interrupted by a guard who rushed into the gate tower.

"Ok?"

Although Cheng Wuting was not a member of "Mingdi", he had secretly joined Li Xian's family under the persuasion of Li Boyao, the governor of Youzhou, during his tenure in Youzhou. Leading the bow also acted according to Li Xian's secret order. This time, he reported all the arrangements of Empress Wu to Li Xian early. The order he received was not only to open the palace ban, but also to capture Empress Wu and others alive. He was about to get ready, but when he heard that Empress Wu turned around and ran away, he became anxious immediately, and ran out of the city gate tower in a few strides, ran to the corridor to have a look, and saw that Empress Wu and his party had fled back to Lishuixuan frantically.

"Open the palace gate!"

Seeing that the planned plan was no longer possible to be realized, the anger in Cheng Wuting's heart suddenly surged, and he really wanted to send his troops to chase after him immediately, but in this way, the entire court was bound to fall into a melee, which obviously had nothing to do with Li Xian The purpose of the peaceful transition he explained was inconsistent, even if he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey the order. After a little hesitation, he still gritted his teeth, forcefully suppressed the urge to chase and kill, and angrily passed through the gap between his teeth. Squeezed out an order.

"Squeaky..."

Every key point in the city is under Cheng Wuting's command, so naturally no one would doubt Cheng Wuting's orders. As for the [-] soldiers of the original Habayashi Army under Wu Sansi's command, they were all located far away from the city gate. The generals leading the army have all been taken down now, and since there is no leader among the dragons, no one dares to ask Cheng Wuting what the intention of this move is, so they can only watch the heavy palace gate completely open in a daze .

"Look, look, the palace gate is open!"

As soon as the palace gate opened, the courtiers who had been waiting quietly in the small square in front of the palace suddenly became commotion for a while. Most of the courtiers didn't understand what happened, and all cast their suspicious eyes on Li Xian's body.
