Although Changsun Wuji is known for his power and scheming, he himself is knowledgeable, good at both civil and military affairs, and he also has a deep understanding of formation, marching and fighting. However, His Majesty Li Er is accompanied by Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin. , famous generals and marshals such as Yuchi Gong generally did not need him to lead troops on expeditions, so their military talents were never shown.
At this moment, he was sitting in Yanshoufang and commanding the rebels to attack the imperial city, but he was doing it in an orderly manner and with proper tactics. All the families in Guanlong under his command were impressed.
It's just that the six troops in the East Palace are all elite, and they have a good location to defend the imperial city. They also have sufficient ordnance and equipment, so it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough for a while.
However, war has always been like this. Where can there be so many devastation and fierce advances? Most of the time, it is so stalemate and anxious. Both sides are blindly fighting to consume, consume soldiers, and consume baggage. Then at a certain moment, one of the parties or a command error is destroyed. When the other side seizes a loophole or consumes too much energy to sustain itself, the war suddenly reaches a turning point.
In this regard, Changsun Wuji was very patient.
The hundreds of thousands of troops who went on an expedition to Liaodong trekked a long way back to Guanzhong. The horses, vehicles, food and baggage were extremely heavy, and the marching speed was seriously slow. In any case, it would take nearly a month.
He did not believe that the Sixth Army of the East Palace could hold on to the imperial city for a month under the fierce attack of the Guanlong clan. Moreover, as long as the Zuotun guards were launched and the Xuanwu Gate was in danger, the war situation would surely change.
What worried him was Chai Zhewei's attitude. He went to visit him in person, and the man did give a clear answer. However, as soon as he left, King Jing Li Yuanjing sent someone to go again, but he didn't know whether Chai Zhewei had surrendered to King Jing or where he stood in the end. On which side.
However, no matter what Chai Zhewei's position is, his target is bound to be Xuanwu Gate. As long as Xuanwu Gate is breached, the reserve team he has already prepared will go straight to Prince Jing's Mansion, capture the thieves first and capture the king first, and wipe out all Prince Jing's party.
King Li Yuanjing of Jing is nothing to worry about.
Just as he was preparing for the future, considering all possible situations and dealing with them one by one, he suddenly saw the servant who had been sent to Fang's house running in in a panic. When he got close and was about to speak, Changsun Wuji raised his hand to stop him. .
Only then did the servant react, and he quickly took two steps forward, came to Changsun Wuji, and whispered in his ear: "Wu Lang was captured by the Fang family!"
Changsun Wuji was startled, but his face remained calm as usual, and he just said calmly: "Keep your voice down and tell us in detail."
"Here."
The servant then whispered what happened.
Changsun Wuji's face was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened, but there was a wave of waves in his heart, and he felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, which made him feel dizzy.
Mother!
What kind of bad luck have you had in recent years?
The eldest son committed a serious crime of rebellion and was forced to go into exile. He will never be able to enter the official career of the Tang Dynasty in this life. His talents are useless. This son died in front of the palace, the third son died in the Western Region, and the fourth son is sinister and vicious and now he has taken refuge in the East Palace. Under house arrest, the sixth son was killed by a traitor early on. The murderer has not been found yet, and now the fifth son is in the hands of the Fang family...
What is particularly abominable is that Sun Wen, the eldest son of the fifth son, not only fell into the hands of the Fang family, but was also shot with an arrow by Fang Jun's wife, and then captured alive by Fang Jun's concubine...
This is simply a great shame!
I originally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, not only to avenge the humiliation suffered by Fang Jun in the past, but also to intimidate the ministers and generals of the government and the public, so I humiliated the old, weak, women and children of the Fang family without regard for face, but in the end, my son fell into the hands of the Fang family!
How did this make the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty view themselves?
What a big joke!
And more importantly, since Changsun Wen fell into the hands of the Fang family and was captured alive, should we continue to kill chickens to scare monkeys? If we continue, we will still attack the Fang family, and bet that the Fang family will not dare to kill their Changsun.
temperature, or change to another "chicken"?
Changsun Wuji felt dizzy for a while. If Changsun Wen were in front of him at this moment, he would wish to kill this wine bag and rice bag with one knife!
It’s just that he can’t do such a small thing well, and it pushes the situation to the most unfavorable situation...
He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he saw someone approaching and reporting: "To the head of the family, Duke Ying is asking for an audience."
Changsun Wuji was stunned, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment, then said: "Please come in quickly."
"Here!"
The man went out to invite the Duke of Ying and the scribes to come to him. Changsun Wuji ordered his servant: "Let this go for a while. Don't be impatient. I will make arrangements later."
"Here."
When the servant heard this, he quickly left.
After a while, Dugu Lan, who was dressed in regular clothes and slightly fat, walked in. Changsun Wuji did not dare to be disrespectful, stood up and went to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted: "The Duke of Ying is here, but I couldn't welcome him from far away. I apologize for my sin."
Yu Wenshiji was already very old, his body was so thin that a gust of wind could blow it away, and he walked tremblingly, but he was in good spirits. He smiled and returned the greeting, saying: "In such a critical time, why do you need such red tape? On the contrary, the old man came to disturb you.
I'm worried about your business."
Changsun Wuji seemed not to understand these words of gun and stick, and his round face was full of smiles: "Come, come, Duke Ying, please take a seat."
In terms of seniority, Yu Wenshiji is a generation older than Changsun Wuji, and in terms of age, he is much older. Although the power held by both parties is not the same, Changsun Wuji still needs to hold the ceremony of son-nephew in front of Yuwenshiji.
, I dare not make any exaggeration.
Of course, superficial respect and etiquette are one thing, but true power status is another...
The two of them sat down, and Changsun Wuji did not exchange polite greetings. He asked bluntly: "The Duke of Ying has been recuperating in the mansion for many days. What is it that makes you come out of the mansion in the wind and snow?"
Yu Wenshiji is old, and his body and bones have long been exhausted. He has been critically ill several times before, but he has recovered, but his energy is not as good as before. Otherwise, given his seniority and qualifications, he would be even more powerful than Hou Mo and Chen Qian.
Suitable to be the leader of Guanlong Gate Valve.
Yu Wenshiji gasped twice and said with a wry smile: "As we get older, the debts of our grandchildren are still unpaid... Just now, that bastard Yu Wenjie came back to the house and talked about what happened here. He was scolded by the old man angrily and ordered
He shuts himself up and thinks about his mistakes. Although our Guanlong families are not heirs of poetry and etiquette, they are the most important ones in terms of seniority and rules. How can he, a mere junior, refute the face of you, the leader of Guanlong? The old man is sitting at home uneasily.
Therefore, I personally made this trip to apologize to you, my auxiliary machine, so that the world would not say that my Yuwen family has no heirs and that our descendants are arrogant and rebellious."
Changsun Wuji clicked his tongue, chewing on the meaning of Yuwenshi's words. Although he was not sure whether this was a reminder to him that Changsun Wuji should also "respect the elders", but regarding Yuwenjie leading the Yuwen family's children to quit in anger,
But it is obviously a positive attitude.
Otherwise, Yuwenshi and one person should not come here now and say some useless words, but should bring Yuwenjie and the children of the Yuwen family together...
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and he slowly said: "The Duke of Ying's words are serious. I don't dare to take his words of 'Guanlong leader' seriously. They are just a joke among others. And I am not angry about Yu Wenjie. Young people, there are The ability is naturally sharp and sharp, and it is not a good thing to follow what others say and follow every step. However, in front of so many Guanlong disciples before, now is the time when everyone needs to work together. Internal strife must not occur and lead to major events. The success is in vain, so my attitude is too harsh, I hope Duke Ying will not blame you."
Yuwen Shiji then laughed.
He has lived his whole life without any notable achievements and has never held any power. However, he has a smart mind and is best at figuring out other people's thoughts. Otherwise, why would he be called "the number one sycophant of the Zhenguan Dynasty" by Wei Zheng? Even His Majesty Li Er worked hard to govern. , the wise king who is diligent in government affairs can't help but be happy when faced with his flattery...
How could you not understand what Changsun Wuji said?
In a word, Yuwenjie "showed his sharpness", which caused "internal strife" among the Guanlong families. If it "failed" in the end, it would be all the Yuwen family's fault...
Yuwen Shiji laughed twice, then his expression calmed down, and he said calmly: "Yu Wenjie is certainly rude and shouldn't be so reckless, but his true intention is correct. At the moment, our Guanlong families are suggesting Although the purpose of the military admonishment was to care for the common people in the world, so that the throne could fall into the hands of a talented and strategic prince, rather than being as benevolent as a prince and favoring a traitor... Even if his heart was upright and selfless, he would inevitably be criticized by the government and the public. "
Changsun Wuji said: "How can things in this world be taken for granted and be fair and just? As long as we are planning big things, as long as we have a clear conscience, we will naturally not be afraid of rumors. Moreover, as long as the government in the future is strong and prosperous, the world will naturally understand that we are today. That’s what you’re waiting for.”
