Changsun Wuji asked: "Do you know what they talked about?"
He Ruoliancheng replied: "At that time, Duke Qiao retreated, and only the commander of his army, Shi You Wenzhi, was present, so it is not possible to know what he was talking about. Moreover, You Wenzhi had a long history of dealings with Prince Jing's palace, so I don't know.
I have been watching him for a long time, and I still don’t know whether he is from Prince Jing’s palace.”
Changsun Wuji was silent, but actually he was a little dissatisfied.
Who in the government and the public does not know the importance of Xuanwu Gate? The left and right guards stationed outside Xuanwu Gate are like two locks in the palace. When they are locked up, they are like mountains and mountains, and no one can move even half a step; but once these two are locked,
Once the lock is opened, there will be no barrier to the Xuanwu Gate.
Such an important point, and I had been keeping an eye on You Wenzhi beforehand, but even now I have only gotten a "maybe" guess...
Perhaps it wasn't that he didn't realize that You Wenzhi was enough to bridge the gap between Prince Jing's Mansion and Zuo Tunwei, but that he simply couldn't catch him and had no choice.
This is a question of ability...
Although the two people in front of him are both rising stars in the Guanlong clan, they are even worse than Yu Wenjie. Especially when he heard that both of them were taught a lesson by Fang Jun, and Dou Dewei even had one of his legs broken.
Losing face... Well, it seems that this evaluation is too harsh. In fact, how many of the Guanlong clan's always arrogant children have not been dealt with by Fang Jun?
When Fang Jun faced the Guan Long disciples, he basically crushed them. No one could compare with him, not even Changsun Chong...
After thinking about it this way, I felt that it was Fang Jun who was too evil, rather than the incompetence of Guan Long's children, and the dissatisfaction in my heart also subsided a little.
In this world, there are always some people who are extremely qualified and gifted, but no matter how hard others try, they can't match them. Fang Jun, the evildoer, seems to be that kind of person...
However, although he was dissatisfied with these two so-called "Guanlong talents", Changsun Wuji had always been a dignified person in the city. He would never show his color unless he was extremely angry. He nodded slightly and said: "Be sure to keep an eye on Chai Zhewei and Zuo Tunwei."
But if there is any abnormality, you must report it as soon as possible, so as not to miss important events."
He Ruoliancheng hurriedly agreed, and Dou Dewei was a little confused: "It is said that you, Duke Zhao, have paid a visit in person before, and Duke Qiao also gave a positive reply, so you won't go to His Highness King Jing now, right? If so, then it's okay
It is tantamount to depriving you of Zhao Guogong's face and making you an enemy of Guan Long from now on. That would be too stupid."
Changsun Wuji glanced at him and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he still held back and said calmly: "Having a private meeting with King Jing's people does not mean that you will defect to King Jing. After all, we Guanlong and
King Jing basically has the same request for him, which is to send troops to attack Xuanwu Gate. As long as Chai Zhewei sends troops on time, how can you tell which side his heart is on? Furthermore, even if he goes to King Jing's side, it does not mean that he will be with him.
Guan Long is an enemy rather than a friend, and the current situation is changing rapidly. An enemy at one moment may become an ally at the next moment. And an ally at the moment may become an enemy in the blink of an eye."
Dou Dewei was confused when he heard this, and looked at He Ruoliancheng, who was also puzzled.
After Yuwen Jie left, they even came in, so they didn't know that there was a conflict between Yuwen Jie and Changsun Wuji. They even led the Yuwen family children to withdraw from the military remonstrance, so they were confused by Changsun Wuji's words.
In other words, I thought it was Changsun Wuji who was dissatisfied with the two of them, so he spoke out and beat them...
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little frightened and hurriedly bowed and said: "We will bear in mind the teachings of Duke Zhao. We will definitely follow Jiwei and serve the hard work of dogs and horses."
Changsun Wuji became increasingly dissatisfied. The two of them could not be said to be worlds apart from Fang Jun. Even Yu Wenjie was much better than them...
He didn't want to see it in his heart, so he lost his patience, waved his hands casually, and said: "Go on, remember to keep an eye on the Zuo Tun Guard. If there is any change, report it immediately. When the Zuo Tun Guard attacks Xuanwu Gate, we must be in the Imperial Palace."
The city will cooperate with us to contain the troops of the Sixth Army of the East Palace so that they cannot rush to the aid of Xuanwu Gate."
He knew clearly in his heart that even though the fighting was raging outside the imperial city and tens of thousands of troops were fighting fiercely, the key to determining the victory or defeat of this military remonstrance still had to be at Xuanwu Gate.
If we can capture the Xuanwu Gate, we can directly enter the Forbidden Palace, bloom inside and outside, and completely defeat the Sixth Army of the East Palace.
Otherwise, if the elite troops led by the Sixth Army of the East Palace were to defend the city, and there would be a lot of baggage and abundant supplies in the imperial city, this siege would become protracted. The reason why he dared to carry out this military remonstrance in spite of the disapproval of the world was to ensure that he was accurate.
His Majesty Li Er died, and the generals and hundreds of thousands of troops were on their way back. As long as the East Palace was deposed in Chang'an City, an established fact was achieved. When Li Ji and others returned to Chang'an, they could only hold their noses and acquiesce.
Unless they still want to fight a big war, but even if they want to fight, the Guanlong clan will hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, and they have honor and righteousness. Whoever fights is a rebel.
Be it Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, or even Yu Chigong, Zhang Jian, Cheng Mingzhen, etc., which one is not very smart and shrewd?
I will never risk my life and fortune at all costs...
All in all, Xuanwu Gate is the most important, and most of the success or failure of military remonstrances will be presented here.
"Here! We will definitely keep an eye on Zuotunwei, but if there is any trouble, we will report it immediately!"
Dou Dewei and He Ruoliancheng agreed in unison, and when they saw Changsun Wuji waving his hands with a calm expression, they quickly left.
After leaving the main hall and walking into the streets, Dou Dewei looked up at the dark night sky with falling snow, and asked, "Is it going to be dawn soon?"
He Ruoliancheng estimated the time, nodded and said, "It's probably Yin Shi now. It's snowing today. I'm afraid it will be dawn again at another hour."
The two of them were walking side by side when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves behind them. The two of them hurried to the side, but they could not avoid it. A group of soldiers came roaring from behind, without slowing down, and passed by the two of them violently. The iron cavalry was as big as a bowl.
He broke through the ice and snow on the road and headed towards Chongrenfang.
"Mother!"
Dou Dewei stumbled and almost fell into the mud. He was so angry that his hair stood on end and shouted angrily: "Whose son of a bitch is so unruly? Damn, this is your family's way!"
He Ruoliancheng was also startled, but he came to his senses and quickly stopped the furious Dou Dewei and dissuaded him: "That's all, keep your voice down! The person who just passed by was Sun Wen, the fifth eldest son of the Changsun family. You called him a bitch,
Aren’t you afraid that Duke Zhao will come to argue with you?”
Dou Dewei was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Things not worthy of the Son of Man!"
However, He Ruoliancheng looked at the direction in which Changsun Wen disappeared and pondered: "Why would Changsun Wen want to go home at this time?"
The two of them had already walked out of Yanshoufang and were standing on the street. On the north side was the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen facing the street. Changsun Wen and his party entered the east-west street in front of the war-torn imperial city along the alley.
Head east towards Chongrenfang.
Dou Dewei glanced at it and said: "Who cares? That kid has a cold temperament and is so cruel that he even framed his own brother. He is really nothing! Let's go to Fanglin Gate quickly and keep an eye on Zuotunwei.
!If we don’t notice Chai Zhewei’s movement in time and miss something important, the Changsun Yin people might really be able to kill them in front of the battle and kill us as a warning to the monkeys..."
Speaking of Changsun Wuji, He Ruoliancheng was also frightened and nodded repeatedly: "Brother is right, go quickly, go quickly!"
The two of them left Yanshoufang, gathered their respective soldiers, braved the heavy snow and rode north, heading straight for Fanglin Gate.
*****
Changsun Wen led more than ten famous soldiers out of Yanshoufang and went straight east across the entire Imperial City Street. When passing by the Zhuque Gate, he saw blazing fire under the city, rumbling sounds, and the sound of fighting stirred up the heavy snow in the sky. Countless soldiers roared.
They rushed to the Suzaku Gate, but were blown to pieces by the thunderbolts dropped from the city. They screamed miserably, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Resentment towards Fang Jun could not help but arise in his heart. If it had not been for the hammer to create this thunder, how could the Hecheng rebels be so passive, besieging the imperial city but not being able to defeat it?
"drive!"
The whip whipped the horses, and the war horses flew with hooves. In the blink of an eye, they came to the area between Anshangmen and Wubenfang. This was the area where the Changsun family's soldiers were responsible for attacking. He rode up to the Changsun family's army and ordered hundreds of soldiers to attack.
Yu Jingrui came to Chongrenfang waving flags and shouting.
The soldiers at the square gate saw Changsun Wen coming with his troops from a distance, and they all knew that the rebellion in Hecheng tonight was caused by the Guanlong family, and the Changsun family was the leader of Guanlong, so who dared to stop Changsun Wen? They could only open the door.
Open the square gate and let him in.
The servants thought that Changsun Wen was going home to do some business. Unexpectedly, these hundreds of horsemen entered the workshop with rumble of hooves, but did not return to Changsun's house. Instead, they turned a corner and went straight to the door of Liang Guogong's mansion...
