The "Wang Zhuang Army" lurked in the deep ravine forest behind the Anhe Palace, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Tang Army's central tent, trying to inflict heavy losses on the Tang Army. Such behavior itself was the same as "suicide". Regardless of whether it was successful or not, within dozens of
Under siege by the main battle force of the Wan Tang Army, it was impossible to fly, and the only way was to fall.
However, if the battle is defeated at this time, if Pingrang City cannot be defended, what does it matter whether "Wang Zhuangjun" lives or dies?
All he wanted was to inflict heavy damage on the Tang army, and then he would die a worthy death.
But if you are lucky enough to be able to take advantage of the Tang army's unpreparedness and rush into the Chinese army's tent, severely injuring the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and leaving hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers panicked and leaderless, then you will have created an unprecedented miracle and strive to maintain peace.
Keeping Rangcheng intact is not just a luxury hope.
Naturally, it is not easy to break out of Anhe Palace and seize the Chinese army's tent in the heart of the Tang army.
Rather than saying it is a blessing from heaven, it is better to say it is a lucky break...
Yuan Nanjian naturally knew this, so the scouts came to report that a "big man" had arrived at Anhe Palace, escorting hundreds of guards and servants of the captain. He made a prompt decision and immediately led his troops out of the deep ravine and dense forest.
The chance of breaking into the Chinese army's tent and severely injuring the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so small that it can be ignored. It is already rare to be able to attack and kill a "big man" who even Cheng Yaojin has to be respectful to.
Fan, beheaded the Tang army and stormed the camp, causing the entire system of the Tang army to be in chaos. His mission was considered completed.
At this moment, when he saw the "big man" surrounded by many guards, he immediately led his troops to rush over at all costs.
…
Li Ji and the others helped His Majesty Li Er onto the horse. He pulled the reins of the horse and said loudly: "We will escort His Majesty back to the Chinese army's tent. Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche are behind, and we must not let the enemy troops rush."
After leaving Anhe Palace, annihilate them right here! If the enemy troops come after you, you two will be the only ones to take care of them!"
The "Wang Zhuang Army" has a good reputation and is the most powerful army in Goguryeo. The terrain here is narrow, and it can be restrained. Once it is allowed to rush out, the sky and the sea will be vast, and it will cause harm to the Tang army.
What a loss!
Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche quickly responded: "Here!"
Turn around to gather the troops and attack "Wang Zhuang's Army" head-on. The reason why such a situation was caused here is due to Xue Wanche's negligence. Cheng Yaojin, as the general of one party, failed to assume the responsibility of supervision. If "Wang Zhuang's Army" was
A wanton charge resulted in too much damage, and even His Majesty Li Er made a mistake because he fell off his horse just now. The two of them were shouldering the blame and were unforgivable. Therefore, they were the two most desperate at this time.
Li Ji, together with Changsun Wuji and others, escorted His Majesty Li Er to evacuate from Anhe Palace and return to the Chinese army's tent.
Outside Anhe Palace, there was a chaos of people and horses.
The "Wang Zhuang Army" suddenly appeared in Anhe Palace and charged fiercely with the intention of fighting out of the palace. This made the nearby Tang Army camps panic and gather their troops in panic, either forming their own formations to prepare for resistance, or waiting to be dispatched.
When facing the enemy, they are not under each other's control. Their respective generals report to the superiors and want to get orders, but they have not been able to get the instructions from the central military account. The various ministries do not know why they are doing well, and it is a mess.
Li Ji couldn't care about this at all at the moment. His Majesty Li Er, who was on horseback, had become a little strange since he fell. His face was extremely ugly, and his whole person was speechless, which made people feel heartbroken...
He commanded the "Hundred Cavalry" to rush out of the chaos and return to the Chinese army's tent. While helping His Majesty Li Er off his horse and sending him into the tent, he quickly sent someone to find the imperial physician who was accompanying the army.
When His Majesty Li Er entered the tent, he let out a long breath, and his extremely embarrassed expression turned slightly, which made Li Ji feel relieved. When the imperial doctor arrived, he drove all the other generals out, and only he and
Changsun Wuji stayed and served at his side.
His Majesty Li Er was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and his breathing was somewhat difficult.
The imperial doctor's face was solemn, and he bent to one side to feel his pulse. After a long time, he checked his eyelids, pupils, and tongue coating, then he stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty has a strong heart and meridians, but what nourishing medicines have you taken before?
"
When he said this, both Li Ji and Changsun Wuji looked strange.
No wonder His Majesty is in a high mood today. It turns out that he took the pill before...
His Majesty Li Er was lying on the bed, not knowing whether he was awake or not. Li Ji was anxious and asked: "Don't talk about useless things. Is your Majesty in serious health?"
The imperial doctor sighed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "I am incompetent. Your Majesty's internal organs are weak, your vitality is exhausted, your meridians are disordered, and your soul and spirit are damaged. I don't know why I am in this situation. I am most afraid that Your Majesty has served Dan."
Mercury is a substance that accumulates toxins over the years and penetrates deep into the internal organs, fearing that the medicinal stone will be ineffective..."
Li Ji and Changsun Wuji were frightened to death when they saw the imperial doctor like this.
Changsun Wuji said sternly: "How dare you make such disobedient remarks? Your Majesty was just frightened when he fell from his horse. Why is it that medicine and stone are ineffective?"
When he said this, he looked serious, but in fact his lips were trembling slightly.
If something unspeakable happens, Chang'an will definitely be held accountable. The source of the matter seems to be Xue Wanche's negligence, which caused "Wang Zhuangjun" to hide in the mountains and forests without being discovered, but in fact it was Changsun Chong who mistakenly sent intelligence
So far.
If Chang Sun Chong had not sworn that "Wang Zhuang's Army" was at Peony Peak in Pingrang City and was ready to protect Yuan Gaisuwen and abandon the city and escape, how could Xue Wanche have made such a mistake?
At present, the prince and Fang Junhang are colluding and are very hostile to the Guanlong clan. Once His Majesty dies, this crime will definitely be imposed on the Guanlong clan. Strong suppression is light. If he is more ruthless, he may not be able to punish the Guanlong clan.
Uprooted.
The current Guanlong clan is no longer the Guanlong clan in the early days of Zhenguan. At that time, the Guanlong nobles lost their military and political power, and all the prominent positions in the court were from Guanlong. It is said that one move can affect the whole body, even if it is
His Majesty Li Er was determined to suppress the situation, but he also had to proceed step by step and not dare to act too hastily, so as not to cause resistance from Guanlong.
Nowadays, the power of the Guanlong clan has long been lost. Although it is deeply rooted, it has absolutely no power to fight back in the face of the new emperor's alliance with Shandong and the forces in the south of the Yangtze River to jointly encircle and suppress.
Is it possible that the Guanlong family has been prominent for hundreds of years, but now each family is about to fall one by one due to Chang Sun Chong's mistakes...
If this is true, the world is so vast, how can there be any place for the Changsun family to establish itself?
Although the descendants of the Changsun family have escaped, they will continue to be suppressed in the next life, and it is rare for them to die well...
…
Li Ji's face turned pale, he stared at the imperial doctor and asked, "Do you think the real medicine and stone are ineffective?"
The imperial doctor grimaced and sighed: "Wei Chen is not good at studying and there is really nothing we can do... However, Your Majesty's symptoms are all due to the strong deficiency fire in the body and the disorder of the organs. If you can survive for three to five days, you can use decoction to remove it."
Fire poison, its own meridians and organs have their own regulating functions, so there may be a chance..."
Li Ji glanced at him, quite understanding of his frustration and timidity.
At this time, he, the imperial physician, was more scared than anyone else.
The king was lying on his bed, seriously ill, and the imperial doctors were under unparalleled pressure. This pressure was not only about whether they could effectively treat the king's patients, but also about the thoughts of the people around the king. Not to mention the kindness of father and filial piety, loyalty to the king and patriotism, and greed for profit.
What do these count for when?
If an imperial doctor is not careful, he will be involved in the turmoil of the inheritance of power, and he will die without a burial place.
Especially now that His Majesty is on an expedition, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that he, the imperial physician, will become the key to the struggle between all parties. Everyone needs to use the imperial physician's mouth to say something beneficial to themselves, but no matter what, this imperial physician's
The outcome is already determined...
However, at this time, he had no intention of comforting the imperial doctor, and warned: "I will try my best to save your majesty. No matter what, I will ensure that you have no worries. But please remember that only the three of us know the situation here, and you must not tell anyone about it."
Reveal it, otherwise, your whole family will be in danger!"
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Ignorant ministers, please spare it!"
Li Ji then said to Changsun Wuji: "This matter is of great importance. There must not be any news. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be shaken, morale will collapse, and the plan of the Eastern Expedition will fail! We will report to Chang'an and ask Chang'an to send more people quickly."
The imperial doctor came over and while calming the soldiers' morale, he declared that His Majesty was frightened and bedridden for a while, so he continued to attack Pingrang City and had already defeated the enemy!"
Changsun Wuji felt heavy and nodded in agreement.
Naturally, the news cannot be leaked at this moment, otherwise the morale of the army will be weakened, the Eastern Expedition will be completely ruined, and a more intense power struggle will occur. And his eldest grandson Wuji will become the target of public criticism, and even if he is destroyed, it will be difficult to quell public anger.
At the same time, I couldn't believe it in my heart: It was just a fall from grace, how could it have reached such a state?
