Boy Yuan and Zhang Sun Chong respectfully accepted the order and then exited the study together.
Outside the study, heavy snow fell from the eaves, covering the entire courtyard with a white layer of snow. Everywhere you looked, the majestic and majestic roof of the main hall seemed to be blank and unclear.
Just like Yeon Gaesumun’s intentions...
The two of them ignored each other and saw the doubts and worries in each other's eyes. However, this was not the place for detailed discussions. They quickly left the Damoli Branch Mansion, led the soldiers back to the Seven Star Gate, and ordered their generals to go to the garrison at the city tower to submit a report.
Combine orders and exchange defense.
Heavy snow fell on the cloaks one after another. The two of them stood on horseback with solemn expressions on their faces. Neither of them had any intention of causing trouble with the royal guard who had previously made things difficult for their eldest grandson when he rushed into the city.
After a long time, Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "Tell me... why did your father so suddenly appoint me to defend the Seven Star Gate?"
The key to all his and Yuan's plans lies in the Seven Star Gate. If he cannot control the Seven Star Gate, he will naturally not be able to welcome the Tang army into the city, and naturally he will not be able to obtain the extravagant feats he hoped for.
However, the good opportunity he had been longing for suddenly fell from the sky, which inevitably made him feel a little wrong - he was not a fool who never got up early. He knew that good things take a long time, and happiness often comes too suddenly, and it is accompanied by poison...
Mr. Yuan was also puzzled: "Perhaps... my father already knows about our plan, but also knows that this battle will be defeated, so he is willing to spare us and help us, and also leave a way for the Yuan family to survive?"
"Oh,"
Changsun Chong sneered: "Do you think my father is the kind of person who is so affectionate that he is willing to die but smiles while watching others live happily?"
Boy Yuan was at a loss for words. The words didn't sound very nice, but he couldn't refute them.
In his impression, his father was a violent, cruel, and cold-blooded man. The emotions and desires of ordinary people rarely appeared in his father. He was like a wild beast, only seeing the laws he recognized. Once someone violated it, he would
Sent to death.
My father was the kind of surly person who would drag everyone with him to be buried with him even if he was going to die...
Let him die under the siege of the Tang army, but he is happy to see his tribe surrender to the Tang people under the leadership of his son and continue to be prosperous and wealthy?
Absolutely impossible...
Mr. Yuan was still puzzled: "But if my father knew our plan, why did he still place us in the Seven Star Gate?"
Based on his understanding of his father, if he knew what the two men were planning, all they would have waiting for them would be a steel knife placed on their necks, their bodies cut into pieces by five horses, and their heads would be cut off without hesitation and hung on the Seven Star Gate to serve as a warning to others.
Tell those who have different ambitions: Whoever dares to betray me will suffer this, even if he is his own son!
How could they still be allowed to successfully defend the Seven Star Gate?
Therefore, no matter what, father should not let them defend the Seven Star Gate...
On top of the city tower, noises could be heard.
Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and glanced up. He dismounted his horse together with Mr. Yuan, and led their respective soldiers up the stone steps to the city tower. Once inside the city tower, he saw the school captain sent to take over the defense standing there with a red face.
, a clean slap mark on his face.
On the other side, the royal general looked arrogant and pointed at Changsun Chong who walked in. Boy Yuan cursed: "You are a bully who relies on human power. This Goguryeo is still the King's Goguryeo. All city defense appointments come from the palace. You want to take over this place?"
At the gate of Pingrang City, let’s wait until your great Molizhi ascends the throne!”
Mr. Yuan shouted angrily: "Fart! The king has entrusted all the important military and political affairs of the country to Da Molizhi. The orders issued by Damolizhi's government represent the king's will. Do you think you want to disobey orders so blatantly?"
Want to rebel?"
There are many people in Pingrang City who want their father and son to have their heads separated, but this is the first time that they dare to openly disobey the orders of the Great Moli Branch Mansion.
This made him furious.
Changsun Chong was not that angry. He just looked at the royal general and felt a little puzzled: It was just a city gate defense. It had not been a year or two since the royal family pretended to be a grandson to protect themselves under the despotic power of Yuan Gaisuwen.
Okay, why do you want to refute Yeon Gaeso-moon's order forcefully at this time?
Did the royal family think that Yeon Gaesomun was at the end of his rope and could no longer dominate Goguryeo like he had in the past?
The Seven Star Gate is of extremely important significance to the royal family...
The royal general snorted coldly, glared at Mr. Yuan, and said: "I am a general of Goguryeo, and I only obey the king's orders. If you want to change defenses, you can get the king's order, otherwise I will not be allowed to leave here today!"
The soldiers behind him swarmed up and stood behind him, glaring angrily.
"Hooray!" Changsun Chong and the soldiers around Mr. Yuan also stepped forward one after another. The two sides faced each other on the spot in the city gate building, with their swords at war.
Boy Yuan was about to go crazy. He was about to speak, but Chang Sun Chong reached out to stop him.
Changsun Chong nodded slightly and said to Mr. Yuan: "Since he wants the king's order, let's go to the palace and ask for an order from the king. At this moment, the enemy is facing us. The enemy army can reach the city at any time. If we are
What's happening is really inappropriate."
Boy Yuan said: "But..."
Changsun Chong dragged him out and stopped him from talking.
The royal general was so proud that he sneered: "How dare you show off your power in front of me even if you don't even have two hairs? Damn you!"
"Ha ha!"
The soldiers on the left and right laughed loudly and ridiculed him.
Boy Yuan was pulled out by Changsun Chong. He stamped his feet angrily and said angrily: "How can Dalang be so cowardly? They are just a bunch of dead bones in the grave. Why should you be afraid..."
Changsun Chong ignored him and stood outside the city tower in the wind and snow, saying to one of his own soldiers: "Go down and pass the order. If any of the soldiers guarding the city make any move, they will be regarded as treason and will not be killed."
"Here!"
The soldier didn't ask any questions, and rushed down from the city tower to deliver orders to the troops below the city.
Changsun Chong ignored the stunned Yuan Boy, waved his hands to his and Yuan Boy's soldiers behind him, and said: "Come in and kill them all."
"Here!"
The dozens of soldiers he brought from Changsun's family responded, drew their swords out of their sheaths, divided into several small teams, and broke in through the broken windows on all sides of the tower.
"boom"
The windows were broken, and these soldiers rushed into the tower like wolves and tigers. They screamed, screamed, and cursed, and the tower instantly became a mess.
Boy Yuan thought to himself that this guy is even more violent than me. He just yelled and scolded, but he directly started killing people. When he saw his own soldiers still standing there, he said angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Fight in!"
"
The Seven Star Gate is where his life gate lies. The life, death, honor and disgrace of the rest of his life are all tied to this gate. If he cannot control it in his hands, everything will be over.
After hearing this, his soldiers finally reacted and rushed in from the main gate of the tower in a chaotic manner.
The defenders under the city heard something unusual in the tower and just wanted to come up to check, when they were intercepted by the troops brought by Changsun Chong and Yuan Nanshi. These defenders were not the royal generals. Facing the army of Damolizhi Mansion, even if
My heart was burning, but I didn't dare to move.
After a cup of tea, the city tower became quiet.
A soldier from Changsun's family strode out, covered in blood, and came to Changsun Chong: "Report to Dalang, the rebels have been killed!"
"very good!"
Changsun Chong praised him and said to Mr. Yuan: "Send someone to send the heads of the rebels to Damolizhi Mansion and tell them the real situation. They say that there are people in the royal family who want to collude with the Tang army and secretly open the city gate to welcome the Tang army."
When they entered the city, they were detected by us and killed. Please ask people from the Da Moli tribe to come and take over the defending troops and make other arrangements."
Boy Yuan quickly called for a confidant and told him according to Chang Sun Chong's words. The confidant entered the tower and came out immediately, holding a bloody head in his hand. He quickly walked down the tower, mounted his horse and headed towards Da Molizhi.
The government rushed there.
Inside the city gate tower, a thick smell of blood permeated the air, and you could clearly feel it even standing outside the gate.
Boy Yuan glanced inside, turned around and came to Changsun Chong, and said in surprise: "Could what you said be true?"
Changsun Chong said: "I would rather believe that there is something there than not believe that there is nothing. If the royal family really has such an idea, if they get ahead of us, what achievements will we have to say? Anyway, at this time, no matter whether it is true or false,
Even Da Molizhi will not punish us, we must secure the Seven Star Gate first."
Boy Yuan nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced.
He had been planning for so long, hoping that when the Tang army attacked the city, he could open the city to welcome the "Wang Shi" into the city, and together with Chang Sun Chong occupy the "special honors" of this battle, and then please the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and receive generous rewards.
There is hope to revive the Yuan clan, and it is logical to become the administrator of Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo.
