How horrified I was when I first heard that Fang Jun defeated Zuotunwei and the royal army in half a day, and now I am so surprised to hear the news that the imperial city has been captured! The huge gap between the sky, the earth, and the abyss makes
Changsun Wuji, who had always been a serious man in the city, was also happy. He felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and ecstasy rushed through his body, as if he was about to faint...
I held my chest hard and took a few deep breaths, then the twitching and throbbing feeling in my heart slowly disappeared.
Great sorrow and great joy are most harmful to the body.
After finally calming down, Changsun Wuji looked around at the arrangements on the left and right and couldn't help but feel happy. The tribesmen did not say anything to stop them. They looked at Yu Wenshiji and said in a deep voice: "Although the imperial city has been destroyed, the Sixth Army of the East Palace will never move quickly.
Defeat must rely on the strong opposition in the imperial city. It is difficult to establish a victory in a moment. If the prince sees that the situation is unfavorable, he will flee from the Xuanwu Gate for no reason. Once he is allowed to escape, if he returns to the mountain, we will never be able to defeat him.
There is no day of peace! We also ask the Duke of Ying to personally take command and lead troops to gather outside Xuanwu Gate. On the one hand, he will prevent the East Palace from escaping, and on the other hand, he will block Fang Jun on the north bank of the Wei River and try to buy time to wipe out the imperial city."
Yu Wenshiji looked hesitant and a little reluctant, but after pondering for a long time, he finally sighed and nodded: "It is as the Duke of Zhao wishes."
At present, Guan Long is already infinitely close to victory. It is conceivable that as long as the East Palace is deposed, the power of the government will be controlled by the Changsun family in the next few decades. Even for the sake of the children of the clan, Yuwen Shiji cannot refuse the Changsun Wu at this moment.
avoid.
Everyone knows that Changsun Wuji has a kind face, but in fact he will retaliate with anger, and his methods are even more insidious. If he refuses face to face and is resented by him, the Yuwen family may no longer have a place among the Guanlong clan...
Changsun Wuji didn't care whether he was willing or not. At present, there were many cracks in Guanlong. He had to use all means to knead the various families together again, and Yuwen Shiji was a signal he sent to the other Guanlong families.
Together in one place, everyone shares weal and woe and merits are shared.
Everyone is doing their own thing, so don't blame Changsun Wuji for rejecting dissenters and being ruthless!
Glancing at Dugu Lan who was silent on the side, Changsun Wuji snorted in his heart. The Dugu family is the one with the most clear-cut stance in Guanlong and will not interfere with this military remonstrance. However, he does not know that victory is in sight and Guanlong will last for decades.
With so much glory at his fingertips, is this treacherous and selfish old guy filled with regret?
However, no matter how superior the Dugu family is and has a decisive influence within Guanlong, they still need to be punished. Otherwise, if they are only rewarded but not punished, how can they deter other families?
Deliberately ignoring Dugu Lan, he looked around at the disciples and military attachés behind him and said in a deep voice: "Follow me to the imperial city and take command personally!"
"Here!"
Dozens of people agreed in unison, with great momentum and excitement.
A moment ago, I thought that as Fang Jun sent his troops back to support, this military remonstrance would end in failure, and the Guanlong families were about to suffer a counterattack. However, in the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly reversed, and victory was already within easy reach. Who could be calm about such a huge gap?
treat?
The price of failure in military remonstrance is naturally unbearable, but the fruit of victory is extremely sweet and juicy. Even if you just think about it, you can't help but salivate and your heart is in awe...
When Changsun Wuji, surrounded by military attachés and generals, went to the imperial city to take command, Yu Wenshiji withdrew his gaze, looked at the gloomy-looking Dugu Lan next to him, sighed softly, and said with relief: "Assistant machine, he is the most narrow-minded.
, I was previously annoyed that the Dugu family refused to participate in this military remonstrance, and even refused to allow the army to enter the city through the gate guarded by your family. I must be very angry in my heart. However, there is no need to worry too much. Although he is a little chicken-hearted, he is good at judging the situation and can be the most forbearing.
As long as I give you some persuasion afterwards, I think it won't happen."
How could he not understand the meaning behind Changsun Wuji's attitude? However, he is on good terms with Dugu Lan and knows the importance of Guanlong unity. He will definitely speak out for the Dugu family so that he will not be in danger in the moment of victory.
Guanlong was divided internally.
The expression on Dugu Lan's old face was extremely ugly. Although he knew that Yu Wenshi had good intentions, he still shook his head and said: "We have different paths and we don't want to conspire against each other. Although you and I have been close personal friends for decades, we are one and the same. From now on, we will
Separate the home and Guanlong as much as possible without getting involved. You must also be careful not to be taken advantage of by Changsun Wuji and then kicked away. Say this and say goodbye."
Immediately, he pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and walked away surrounded by his clan members.
Yu Wenshiji stretched out his hand to stop him and tried to persuade him again, but he finally put down his hand. With a long sigh, he summoned his clansmen to go outside the city, order troops and horses, and rush to the north of the city.
*****
Li Jing stood on the white marble steps in front of the Taiji Palace with his helmet pierced, and despite the drifting wind and snow, the Guanlong rebels poured into the imperial city like a tide, but they did not move.
He looked around, feeling endless emotions in his heart.
This most majestic city in the world, which was first built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and was first named "Daxing City", has gone through the war and is bound to be in dilapidated condition. It may take more than ten years to restore it to its pre-war glory.
And behind him, the magnificent and sacred Tai Chi Palace, Bei Quezhu Palace, with its green tiles and red tiles, embroidered curtains, painted beams and carved pillars, is extremely solemn and luxurious and is unparalleled in the world. I am afraid that it will be destroyed by war, and it will never be able to see its past glory again.
Heyday...
However, the emotion only lasted for a moment. As a soldier, his responsibility was to maintain the integrity of the empire and defeat the rebels who conspired to rebel. As for whether Chang'an City was in ruins and whether Taiji Palace was destroyed, he did not consider it.
If necessary, even if he burned down the Tai Chi Palace with fire, he would not hesitate at all...
"Gong Wei, the rebels have broken through the city wall defenses. They have poured into the Imperial City from Hanguang Gate and Shunyi Gate. The defender of Zhuque Gate is unable to support himself. He sent someone to ask if they can withdraw to Chengtian Gate?"
Li Siwen, dressed in military uniform and covered in gunpowder smoke, came quickly, came to Li Jing, saluted, and then asked.
Looking at the capable subordinate in front of him whose eyes were all red, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, took two steps forward, reached out and patted Li Siwen on the shoulder, and praised: "Well done! Since the strategy has been decided, there is no need to be constrained.
When there is a temporary gain or loss, let the generals of Zhuque Gate fight and retreat, and then retreat to the outside of Chengtian Gate to form a defensive formation."
"Here!"
Li Siwen accepted the order, turned around and left in a hurry.
Li Jing was a little sad.
Once upon a time, he still remembered the saying of the people in Guanzhong: "Civil and military heroes are the four pests of Chang'an." He was once despised and scolded endlessly. However, to this day, these arrogant and domineering dudes have different situations.
.
Fang Jun, who ranked third in the ranking, is now a military giant. Although his fame is not as good as his, the military power under his command far exceeds that of the so-called "Military God".
It can control the situation of the government, and it can even hold the world together!
Even a child from a family like Li Siwen, who spends all his time fooling around, can bravely shoulder important responsibilities at critical moments and fight to the death in the face of critical situations.
But in the past, those good children who were well-behaved, smart, well-educated and courteous either joined the rebel camp and committed rebellion regardless of justice, or they were cautious and cautious in protecting themselves. They really lacked responsibility.
…
He led his troops from the Taiji Palace to the Jiade Gate. There was only an urn city away from the Chengtian Gate, and ordered people to call Qu Tuquan.
Qu Tuquan came quickly from Chengtian Gate, arrived in front of Li Jing and asked, "What are your orders, Commander-in-Chief?"
Li Jing looked at the towering Chengtian Gate, which is the gateway to the palace city. Once it is lost, the rebels can enter the palace city. The Sixth Army of the East Palace can only fight with the enemy in a melee, and there is no wall space to defend. However, the imperial city occupies an area
There are too many city gates everywhere. With the troops led by Dong Gong Liu, who are outnumbered and seriously injured, it is impossible to defend it firmly. Sooner or later, the rebels will break through a little, and then the whole line will collapse. It is better to abandon the front line of the city wall, retreat to the palace city, and use all the strength
Gather together and fight the enemy to the death.
He said solemnly: "Has the gunpowder been prepared?"
Qu Tukan said: "Respecting the commander-in-chief's command, all the gunpowder has been gathered and is now outside the Jiade Gate, but..."
He hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously: "But why do you do this? Although the six brothers have suffered heavy losses, those who can walk can use swords and guns, and those who can't walk can also use crossbows and firearms. Everyone survives and the enemy is destroyed."
Remember, as long as there is still one person left, the rebels will never be allowed to get close to the palace! If it is convenient to plant gunpowder in various palaces at this time, it will be..."
The Taiji Palace is not only a forbidden area in the imperial city, but also the center of the world. Now it has just gone through wars and fires, and gunpowder has to be planted to annihilate the enemy. How can a man with an orthodox heart and a strong spirit accept it?
The six leaders of the East Palace are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood to protect the palace city and the prince, and they will fight to the death! But they are not willing to suffer such a humiliating method to annihilate the enemy...
