The Right Guards were removed and five thousand elites were left to guard the camp and guard the prisoners. The rest rushed out of the camp and captured or expelled the Left Guards who were all over the mountains and plains, leaving the vast area from Xuanwu Gate to the Weishui River.

Under control, no matter who wants to send troops to approach Xuanwu Gate, they will not be able to escape the front of Youtun Guard.

In this way, Fang Jun dared to turn around and attack Xuanwu Gate...

There was no room for dispatching troops or strategizing in the offensive. Tens of thousands of guards arrived at Youtun and crowded towards Xuanwu Gate. All kinds of siege equipment were moved out of the warehouse and quickly arrived under the city wall.

, the soldiers braved the missed arrows of the defenders above their heads, rolled the wood, and began to attack the city.

The two sides did not test at all. The defenders knew that the commander was leading his troops to attack Wude Palace at this moment. At the most critical moment, once the Xuanwu Gate was captured by the Youtun Guards and entered the palace, the commander's retreat would be cut off.

In a flanking attack, coach Li Daozong will undoubtedly be defeated; and the Youtun Guards also understand their responsibilities. Only by quickly capturing Xuanwu Gate can they enter the palace for reinforcements. If they are delayed and the rebels succeed first, the consequences will be disastrous.

Once the siege broke out, both sides had no room left and it was extremely brutal.

*****

On the north bank of the Wei River, Zuo Houwei's camp is located.

Yin Qinzhou sat in the tent, helplessly looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, and sighed: "You are not here to take care of your old age, so why are you running around like this? Nowadays, the general situation in the world is turbulent, and people of your age are no longer able to control it.

Not only is it useless, but it only increases worries, so why bother?"

In front of him, an old man with white eyebrows and white eyebrows sat tremblingly. The skin on his face covered with age spots had already wrinkled like dry tree bark, his eyelids were droopy, and his eye bags were swollen. His tall body was now skinny and skinny, and his clothes were baggy.

, the crest of his back is also stooped, and the whole person exudes an aura of decay. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell just by looking at it that it has run out of fuel and its end is approaching.

The old man was confused, as if his sluggish mind was still thinking about Yin Qinzhou's words, but the two middle-aged men accompanying him were already a little dissatisfied. One of them frowned and said: "My ancestor is able to come here, which is enough for the commander-in-chief."

To save face, otherwise it only takes a letter to arrive, and the commander-in-chief can still disobey. Don't be ignorant of good and evil."

Yin Qinzhou didn't say anything, but Yin Yuan behind him got angry and shouted: "You are so brave. You dare to be disrespectful to the commander in the army. Could it be that you treat military law as a decoration?"

The man sneered: "You damn commander! Back then, didn't even your father wave the flag and shout under my Dou family, calling himself a lackey?"

Yin Yuan was furious: "You..."

Just as he was about to curse, Yin Qinzhou raised his hand to stop him.

The old man still had his eyelids drooped, as if he didn't have enough energy to pay attention to what was happening in front of him, and he also seemed to deliberately allow the people behind him to frustrate the Yin family's spirit...

Yin Qinzhou looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

The man said proudly: "I am Dou Xiaoqian."

Yin Qinzhou thought for a while, looked puzzled, and asked again: "Who is your father?"

The man paused for a moment, then held back his anger and said, "My father doesn't use Cong."

Yin Qinzhou suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the former chief administrator of Jinzhou. Alas, I thought that my father had made great achievements in pursuing Prince Yin to pacify Shandong, but it was a pity that he passed away due to illness. It is a pity that a hero has no successor. I guess you are afraid that the world will mention your father.

At that time, he said, "Tiger father and dog son", so you want to follow your father's ambition during his lifetime, cut off the bloodline of Emperor Taizong, and return the throne to the lineage of Prince Yin? From this point of view, he is ambitious, but according to me

We know that the lineage of Prince Yin has long been cut off, so how can you pass on the throne to his descendants?"

Dou Xiaoqian was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Prince Yin has been dead for decades, and with no descendants or descendants left, who is willing to work hard for him?

When he was about to speak, the old man who had always been confused raised his head slightly, opened a slit in his drooped eyelids, looked at Yin Qinzhou with his yellow eyes, and said feebly: "You are also the commander of the first army now, why do you have to argue with a junior? You have the courage to speak.

It’s too narrow.”

Yin Qinzhou was speechless and said helplessly: "Your boss probably has a bad memory. My father and your brother were officials in the same court, and we had a good relationship, so this man and I are actually the same generation."

The old man's name is Dou Xi. He is the grandson of Dou Chi, the former Sui Taifu and Deng Guogong. He is now the oldest member of the Dou family. His eldest brother Dou Gui was the first Guanlong clan to join Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan. He followed Emperor Gaozu to pacify the world and made great contributions.

He was so illustrious that he was given the title of Duke of Feng and was given the posthumous title of Governor of Bingzhou.

They all have a clan sister, Queen Taimu Dou...

Yin Qinzhou's father, Yin Sengshou, was originally an official in Nanchen. After the fall of Nanchen, he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. He served as Secretary Lang and was an official in the same dynasty as Dou Xizhi's second brother Dou Cong. Dou Cong was Dou Xiaoqian's son.

father……

The Guanlongmen Vale has been entrenched in Guanzhong for many years. From the time of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to the Sui Dynasty, and then to the Tang Dynasty, the grievances and hatreds between each other were intertwined and mixed. If you go up two generations, you can probably have a relationship.

It suddenly dawned on Dou Xi, but he was too energetic, so he would not dwell on such a trivial matter. Instead, he said with a smile: "I have only been alive for a few days. The reason why I didn't wait for death at home but came to visit you is really.

I have to come."

Yin Qinzhou understood the purpose of Dou's attack here, so he was a little puzzled: "In any case, the Dou family is the current descendant family, starting from the ancestor, to the time of Taizong, and even from now on, it is a first-class family.

, you are noble and distinguished, and you live with your country, why should you be involved in the current mutiny?"

Dou Xi sighed, coughed twice, and pursed his toothless mouth: "Aren't all these children and grandchildren incompetent? There is no way to escape death once you live. At my age, I have already seen it through. However, although death is not terrible,

What’s even more frightening is that while you’re still alive, you see the miserable fate of your descendants and families after your death. It’s hard to swallow, and even if you swallow, you won’t die in peace.”

Yin Qinzhou frowned and said nothing.

The Dou family has gradually drifted away from the Guanlong clan over the years. Whether Emperor Taizong was a little angry because he did not receive the support of the Dou family when he came to power, or the Dou family's own talent has withered, in short, it is an indisputable fact that the power and status have plummeted. Thinking back to the time of Hedou Mausoleum

The clan was so prominent in the Northern Dynasties. It was the most powerful family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the former Sui Dynasty, and even after entering the Tang Dynasty. However, when the Zhenguan Dynasty declined, it was inevitable that they would feel inferior. How could they compete with Changsun Wuji, who was becoming increasingly prosperous and powerful.

To a place?

Disagreement is inevitable.

But no matter what, the Dou family is always of the same lineage as Guanlong, and the interests of Guanlong are intertwined and inseparable.

There was a mutiny in Guanlong before, and now Guanlong is relying on the King of Jin to rebel. The two are superimposed. It can be imagined that once His Majesty gets rid of the current crisis and secures the throne, the first one will be to attack the Guanlong clan. Regardless of whether the Dou family is involved or not, everyone will

It is difficult to disentangle the relationship.

Not to mention that the descendants of the Dou family have quite a lot of trouble with Fang Jun. There is no guarantee that Fang Jun will not add insult to injury...

But this is the Dou family’s business, what does it have to do with me?

Yin Qinzhou said slowly: "The Dou family is a prominent family, and the emperor is a relative. Even if there is a temporary hardship, it will come back sooner or later. Besides, I can't help this matter. I really don't know why you are here in person. I am scared."

Dou Xi narrowed his dim eyes. At his age, he had neither the energy nor the need to make detours with Yin Qinzhou. He said straightforwardly: "Now the king of Jiangxia County has raised an army to destroy the false emperor. By flattering the late emperor's last wish, victory is within easy reach. It's just that Fang Jun defeated Zuo Tun."

Wei, is about to capture the Xuanwu Gate, which will inevitably pose a threat to the king of Jiangxia. Once the success is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous... So those old guys in Guanlong and some people from the clan went to find me and asked me to come in person to sell this old face.

I implore the commander-in-chief to send troops to attack Xuanwumen to relieve the danger of Jiangxia County Prince. I wonder if this old face is of any use to the commander-in-chief?"

After saying so many words in one breath, he was panting heavily and coughing for a while, staring at Yin Qinzhou with a pair of cloudy eyes.

Yin Yuan glared at Dou Xi, wasn't this a clear threat?

Yin Qinzhou's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Dou Xi for a moment and asked, "What will happen if I don't agree?"

Dou Xi sighed and said, "If you don't agree, then you won't agree. How can anyone do this kind of thing? But since the Liquan Yin family and Guanlong clan are all separated from each other, there is no need to continue to stay in Guanzhong.

If something unexpected happens at Shishu's family, if Guan Long and the clan are suspected, it's better to move the whole family as soon as possible."

Dou Xiaoqian behind him added: "But even if the whole family is migrating, there may not be peace on the road. If we encounter bandits or bandits, it is not impossible that something unexpected happens to the whole family..."

Dou Xi scolded: "Shut up! Do you have room to speak in front of me?"

He turned to Yin Qinzhou and said, "Don't worry, this coward talks without any sense and talks nonsense. Even if there is any accident, it will definitely have nothing to do with Guan Long and the clan."

Yin Qinzhou remained silent, but his fists placed under the table were clenched tightly.

This is the threat Guan Long and his clan made bright and clear: If you don’t send troops to attack Xuanwu Gate as I say, I will kill your entire clan!

Don't underestimate every word spoken by the Guanlongmen clan who have been entrenched in Guanzhong for hundreds of years. Even though the Guanlongmen clan has long lost its former glory, the power hidden under the water is still enough to support them to complete such a threat.

What's more, some members of the clan are involved...

It can be said that if the Guanlong clan and clan wanted to wipe out the Liquan Yin family, even the emperor would not be able to save it.

Yin Qinzhou was silent for a long time, and then said slowly and dryly: "This is a big matter, I'll allow you to think about it..."

"Hey, what's there to think about?"

Dou Xi said decisively: "As the commander of an army, I should be decisive in killing. Whether it succeeds or fails is just a matter of one sentence. Don't delay. I am really too weak to delay. If you don't give me an accurate answer,
Chapter completed!
