Changsun Wuji was sitting in the main hall of Yanshoufang, watching the people coming and going in the hall, summarizing information, and the clerks passing orders kept coming and going. He only drank pot after pot of strong tea until dawn.
Feeling stuffy at last, I got up and went to the window and opened it. A cold wind blew in the face with snowflakes, which was refreshing. Outside the window, the morning sun under the clouds tried hard to reveal a trace of fish belly white in the wind and snow.
With the bright light, the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.
The snow hasn't stopped yet.
Outside this shop is the main street. Teams of soldiers wearing helmets and armors holding spears and swords patrol back and forth to ensure the safety of this place, leaving traces of footprints on the street.
A fast horse galloped in from the gate of the square. When it got to the gate, it turned over and dismounted and ran into the hall at full speed.
Changsun Wuji's gray eyebrows furrowed, he closed the window deeply, turned back to the desk and sat down, when he saw the man rushing towards him, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "To the master of the family, before dawn,
Duke Qiao has already led his Zuotunwei troops to raise troops outside Xuanwu Gate and took the lead in storming the Youtunwei camp."
Changsun Wuji's frowning eyebrows instantly raised, his eyes brightened, and he said with his palms: "It is indeed good news!"
Before starting the army, Changsun Wuji believed that the six rates in the East Palace were not something to be afraid of. As long as tens of thousands of troops from the Guanlong family entered the city smoothly, they would be able to break through the imperial city and determine the overall situation of the tripod. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to hide his presence, even after returning to the city.
Chang'an, however, continued to throw out Chang Sun Chong and Hou Mo Chen Qianhui in an attempt to disrupt Dong Palace's strategy. In fact, it did work. For a time, Dong Palace thought that he had complete control of the situation. As a result, he secretly planned everything and promoted the mutiny.
The sudden mutiny was completely beyond the East Palace's expectations and the effect was very good, allowing the troops of the Guanlong clan to successfully enter Chang'an and besiege the imperial city.

It seems that victory is already within reach.
However, contrary to expectations, the powerful combat power of the Sixth Army of the East Palace was far beyond his expectation. These newly formed troops were elite. They defended the imperial city in the face of an enemy several times stronger than themselves, and did not fall behind at all. Changsun Wuji quickly
The attempt to capture the imperial city and depose the East Palace completely failed.
Even when the Guanlong clans continued to send more troops to besiege the imperial city, they still defended the imperial city impregnably.
Of course, no matter how powerful the Sixth Army of the East Palace is, they are trapped in the imperial city but have lost their replenishment. As long as they slowly wear it down, defeat will be a matter of time.
However, how long will this "sooner or later" last? This is indeed something that no one can predict. And time is extremely beneficial to the East Palace. As long as the Eastern Expedition army returns to Guanzhong, Li Ji and others will definitely support the East Palace with their consistent support.
When the prince ascends the throne, when the ragtag group of Guanlong families faces the elite Eastern Expedition army, they will either resist tenaciously and be slaughtered, or they will stop fighting and try to deal with the aftermath.
There is absolutely no possibility of victory...
Therefore, the sooner the imperial city is captured, the more favorable the situation will be for the Guanlong families. On the contrary, the situation will be unfavorable and full of dangers.
At this time, the change in the battle situation was no longer in the invincible Guanlong army that besieged the imperial city, but in the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city, which tightly controlled the entrance to the Forbidden Palace. Chai Zhewei, who was in charge of the most powerful army outside the Xuanwu Gate, became the key to the battle.
.
Although he personally went to Zuotunwei Camp to express his interests and win over Chai Zhewei, Changsun Wuji also knew that King Jing Li Yuanjing had been flirting with Chai Zhewei, and he was afraid that his efforts to win over Chai Zhewei would not completely make him come over.
Fortunately, Chai Zhewei finally raised his troops. Apparently, his previous visit in person to win over the anger had an effect...
…
However, Changsun Wuji's face was full of joy, but the scout said: "...In the end, we will see an army of more than 10,000 people joining the Zuotun guards. Many of them are farmers and slaves from various royal estates."
Changsun Wuji was shocked: "Did you read that correctly?"
The scout said: "There is absolutely no mistake. Our eldest son's family usually has many contacts with various imperial estates. Some of the fiefs even live next to each other. The households and servants of each estate also have some private contacts, so we are familiar with them."
Even if Changsun Wuji was in charge of the city, he couldn't sit still at this time. He slammed the table in anger and cursed: "Chai Zhewei, shameless boy, I will never let you go!"
Originally, the troops of Zuo Tunwei were far superior to those of Right Tunwei, and even the Beiya Imperial Army stationed at Xuanwu Gate was far inferior. As long as Chai Zhewei raised his troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, there was a high probability that Xuanwu Gate would be successfully captured. Those royal troops must be
Under the command of Jing Wang Li Yuanjing, the two armies are now united. Chai Zhewei has added more than ten thousand troops, and the capture of Xuanwu Gate is even more certain.
Once Chai Zhewei captures the Xuanwu Gate and marches straight into the palace, Li Yuanjing can depose the East Palace in the name of "the longest among the princes", and then Guo can seize the power to supervise the country and order the troops from all over the world to put an end to the "rebellion" of the Guan and Long families.
The name is right.
By that time, it will be as difficult as going to heaven to expel Li Yuanjing.
The scribes and disciples in the hall were each busy with the things at hand. They had not slept all night but did not feel too sleepy. After all, they could personally participate in such a major event that would affect the future of Guanlong families for a hundred years.
, which can be regarded as a rich qualification.
But they were all startled by Changsun Wuji's scolding...
Many people turned their heads to look at the furious Changsun Wuji in astonishment, confused. Changsun Wuji has always been known for his deep city, and he always behaves in front of others in an unfazed manner, even if he does not change his face.
If you are very angry in your heart, you will only seek revenge behind your back, and you will never express your joy and anger in color.
I am so out of sorts at this moment, but I don’t know what kind of news it is...
Changsun Wuji also realized his gaffe. He is now the core of the Guanlong family, and every move involves the interests of countless people. If morale is low due to his gaffe, and even everyone has their own agenda, there will be big trouble.
Already.
He suppressed his anger and waved his hands around: "Everyone does his job, no need to worry about it!"
After everyone around him turned around and got busy, he sat down again and asked expressionlessly: "How is the battle situation?"
When he thought about it, Youtunwei was indeed a strong army. After all, there had been an army that came out of Baidao to overthrow Xue Yantuo with great military exploits. But now that Fang Jun was not in the capital, it would be difficult for Youtunwei to exert its full strength, but Fang Jun was defeated.
After taking away most of the elite soldiers and marching out to control Hexi, the remaining soldiers and horses could not be the opponent of Zuotunwei.
What's more, there are also royal troops to help. If the Youtun Guards can resist for half a day, it is beyond expectations...
The scout looked at Changsun Wuji's furious expression, which was almost out of control. Although he suppressed it at the moment, the faint thunderous anger never disappeared, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
He realized that he seemed to have finished the news in one breath...
However, there was no room for him to regret it at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Master, there is no need to worry. Although the Zuo Tuen Guards joined forces with the royal army to attack the Right Tun Guards, the Right Tun Guards were obviously prepared for it and formed their formations at the beginning of the war.
Tight and well-prepared, there was first an artillery bombardment, then a volley of musketry, and finally hundreds of armored cavalry were dispatched, killing the Zuotun guards and causing heavy losses..."
As he narrated, Changsun Wuji's anger disappeared, and instead he opened his eyes wide and marveled.
When the scout finished speaking, he said in disbelief: "So, the Zuo Tun Guards joined forces with the royal army, but they were still beaten by the Right Tun Guards and left their helmets and armor in a state of embarrassment. At this moment, outside the Xuanwu Gate, the Right Tun Guards had already rebelled.
Defending in order to attack, chasing and beating Zuo Tuen Wei's ass?"
The scout nodded and said, "That's exactly it!"
"...Mom!"
Changsun Wuji almost died of anger, what a bastard you are, how dare you breathe loudly when reporting the news? Why didn't you explain the situation clearly in one breath just now, making yourself angry and losing your temper?
However, there were so many people here that he couldn't vent his anger. He had to hold back his anger and nodded slowly: "Go and investigate the news immediately. If anything happens, report it in time!"
"Here!"
The scout also clearly felt that for a moment, Changsun Wuji seemed to be secretly searching for something handy, grabbed it and threw it on his head. At this moment, he received the order, quickly shrank his head, turned around and left quickly. He left the main hall.
, quickly jumped on his horse, and ran away without a trace.
Changsun Wuji sat behind the desk, stroking his beard with one hand, and picked up the tea prepared by the clerk with the other hand, put it to his mouth, and took a slow sip.
Huh! Chai Zhewei, a blind idiot, actually abandoned himself and took refuge with Li Yuanjing. Damn it! But it was also his retribution. He wanted to kill the Youtun Guards in a surprise attack in preparation for his full force attack on Xuanwu Gate, but he was kicked on the stone.
.
What a relief!
And in this way, Li Yuanjing was completely miserable. The princes of the clan handed over their troops to him, but they were completely destroyed by him at Xuanwu Gate. I am afraid that there will be a lot of arguing later. The most important thing is Li Yuanjing's
As soon as his ambition was revealed, he was hit hard. With his ambition and ambition, he might have completely retracted it.
Changsun Wuji let out a long breath, but in an instant, Changsun Wuji was suddenly stunned again.
