He Lanyan commanded tens of thousands of troops and lined up south of Wutingchuan in an attempt to stop Fang Jun from attacking Chang'an. However, within half a day of fierce fighting, he surrendered and the entire army was destroyed. The news quickly spread back to Chang'an, which made the original ambitious plan to capture Guanlong
The various clans that were seizing the benefits of victory on this big ship received a blow in the face and were beaten into confusion.
Everyone knows that Fang Jun's army is powerful. After all, it was able to defeat the Tuyuhun cavalry all the way, annihilate the Turkic cannibal coalition, and gain the upper hand in a fierce battle with 200,000 cannibal troops in the Western Regions. This is not just a random army of ten
Six Guards can do it.
What's more, the half of the Right Guards left behind by Fang Jun had successively defeated the fully-staffed Zuen Guards, the royal army, and the Guanlong Army. This shows that the combat power of the entire Right Guards is, if not unparalleled, the best in the world.
Wait for the strong army.
However, these wealthy people who were trying to speculate still could not imagine that the tens of thousands of troops led by He Lanyan were defeated in one strike like a Trojan horse and a dog. They surrendered and the entire army was wiped out...
Such news naturally shocked the rebels in Chang'an City and caught them off guard. The most terrible thing was that when the Sixth Army of the East Palace resisted desperately and the rebels advanced extremely slowly, how could they resist Fang Jun's attack on Chang'an?
The soldiers were panicked.
Those families in Hedong and Hexi who had just boarded the train all regretted it. If they had known this earlier, they would have waited and watched, but now it is like riding a tiger with no way to retreat...
Changsun Wuji was lying on the bed. After hearing the news of He Lanyan's defeat, he was silent for a long time. Then he sent people to invite the people who had spoken to each family in Chang'an City to Yanshou Fang again, and asked them face to face to continue to send more troops and not to save troops.
If you want to preserve your strength, you must block Fang Jun to the north of the Weishui River and capture Taiji Palace as soon as possible.
Everyone in the family was silent about what was going on. After thinking about it for a while, they nodded and agreed, and then sent someone to send a letter home, informing them in detail about the situation in Chang'an and Changsun Wuji's request.
In fact, these clans have no way to retreat now. If they continue to watch the fire from the other side as before, no matter who wins in the end, they cannot cut off all the clans in Hedong and Hexi. But now they have sent troops to Guanlong's side.
To participate in the war is to become an enemy of the East Palace. Once the East Palace wins, no matter how kind-hearted His Highness the Crown Prince is, there is no reason to forgive him.
Therefore, when Changsun Wuji asked each family to send more soldiers, almost all the nobles in Hexi and Hedong gritted their teeth and took out all their family wealth and transferred them to Chang'an in an effort to win this battle.
…
Outside Yanming Gate on the right, there is a guard room in Sherenyuan.
Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen sat across from each other. On the coffee table, a small red clay stove had a charcoal fire going on. A silver pot was placed on it. White steam was coming out of the spout. Waves of light aroma of wine filled the air, making the sniff feel refreshing.
Cool.
Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves, reached out and took off the silver pot, tilted it slightly, and a stream of light yellow wine poured out from the spout, filling the white porcelain wine bowls in front of them. Such fine rice wine must be used
This kind of half-sized wine bowl is the best way to drink. If it is an ordinary and exquisite small wine glass, you will not be able to taste the richness and mellowness in it.
"Brother Jingren, please."
Xiao Yu raised his hand to greet him.
Cen Wenwen nodded, then picked up a bamboo clip on the coffee table, opened the lid of the pot, and clipped a few pieces of shredded ginger. He put the longan on a plate next to him, picked up the shredded ginger with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The aroma of sweet wine mixed with it.
The spicy taste filled my mouth, I picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, let out a long breath, put down the wine bowl, and savored the sweetness in my mouth.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, I swallow this drink mixed with shredded ginger into my stomach, a wave of heat rises up, and my limbs and bones are warmed, which is very beneficial.
Xiao Yu was not used to eating it like this, so he just picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, clicked his tongue, and praised: "Good wine."
In winter, when the sky is full of wind and snow and the ground is freezing, drinking a pot of warm rice wine with shredded ginger to ward off the cold and longan to add flavor is the most pleasant enjoyment.
Even though the sound of fighting could be heard faintly in their ears, the two of them were still enjoying themselves and didn't take it to heart at all.
With their seniority and status, they have already transcended the limitations of the faction. Even if the rebels capture Taiji Palace now, they would never dare to kill them. Everyone in the rebel army knows clearly that the target of this military remonstrance is
The Prince of the East Palace, even if he is a subordinate of the East Palace, cannot kill blindly.
Especially Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and other court bosses have countless interests behind them. Xiao Yu is even the leader of the Jiangnan gentry. At this moment, Xiao Yu supports the East Palace, but it does not mean that the Jiangnan gentry will live with the East Palace.
If they suffer any damage during the mutiny, the situation in the world can easily change drastically.
No matter how conceited Guan Long was, he would not dare to push the Jiangnan nobles against him at this time...
In the same way, even if Donggong Liu led the army to turn defeat into victory and defeat the Guanlong army, who would dare to kill Changsun Wuji with one sword?
That will drive the entire Guanlong clan into madness and plunge the world into a protracted violent shock. The victory will most likely turn into a huge civil war...
Xiao Yu listened intently to the sound of fighting outside, and sighed softly, saying: "The decisive battle is coming, but I don't know who will win and who will lose in the end, and who will belong to the country."
Cen Wenwen was sick and old. He sipped rice wine for a long time and then murmured: "If His Majesty is here, no one can make trouble, but if His Majesty is not here...neither Guanlong nor East Palace can convince the public.
, I am afraid that turmoil in the world is unavoidable. Song Guogong, who leads Jiangnan, should also put the welfare of the people first at that time, and prevent Jiangnan from igniting war and ruining the good situation."
The south of the Yangtze River is not as prosperous as other places, and naturally not as prosperous as Guanzhong, but it has been a barbaric land since ancient times. Starting from the Qin and Han Dynasties, it took hundreds of years of cultivation and cultivation by countless people to establish religious culture before it was truly brought under the rule of the empire.
In the end, Jiangnan was once again separated from the empire. Today, all the princes in the court can be called the sinners of China.
Although Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen didn't have much contact with each other, they were gentlemen and their political views were quite consistent. They occasionally cooperated and were very congenial.
Hearing this, he nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Jing Ren, please relax your mind and do business with public rather than private affairs. There will definitely be no chaos in Jiangnan."
Privately, Jiangnan is the foundation of the Lanling Xiao family. If Jiangnan is stable, Xiao Yu's position in the court will be stable. Whoever seizes power must be coaxed and appeased. If Jiangnan is in chaos and the foundation is unstable, Xiao Yu's influence will be
The force naturally drops in a straight line and the weight decreases sharply.
Yu Gong, the barbaric land south of the Yangtze River has gone through hundreds of years of continuous migration, colonization, and education by Han people to achieve the stability and prosperity it has today. Once it falls into turmoil and chaos, resulting in the flames of war, it can easily fall apart. If you want to stabilize the country and incorporate it into the Chinese territory, you don't know what to do.
How much effort was expended and how many soldiers were sacrificed.
Immediately, Xiao Yu said worriedly: "At present, all the noble families in Hexi, Hedong and other places have sent troops to help Guanlong, which has made the rebels stronger and stronger, and the six leaders of the East Palace are struggling to support them. What they want is self-evident, and I am afraid that all the nobles in the world are afraid of it.
Thinking this way, even if Fang Jun rushes to rescue him, he will eventually become the enemy of everyone in the world."
Cen Wenwen frowned.
This involves the most basic struggle of interests - the prince has expressed more than once that after he succeeds to the throne, he will continue His Majesty Li Er's national policies, maintain political stability, and reduce internal friction caused by differences in routes.
This is originally a good thing, but the key problem is that His Majesty Li Er has been pursuing the strategy of weakening and suppressing the powerful families in recent years. Judging from his purpose of governing, it is obvious that he wants to enhance the power of the poor families to compete with the strong foundation of the powerful families, and ultimately achieve the goal of eliminating the powerful families.
.
This is something that the aristocratic families cannot tolerate, otherwise they would not have allowed Guan Long to stage a rebellion in Chang'an, but all the noble families in the world would just stand by and watch, and even send troops to help at critical moments.
Those who have attained the right will receive much help, while those who have lost the right will receive little help.
For the world's elites, their own interests are the "Tao". Whoever is more beneficial to their "Tao" will be supported by them, and whoever is not, they will oppose.
This is the fundamental reason why the East Palace is facing the current desperate situation...
His Majesty Li Er has great talents and strategies, is a great emperor, and is extremely powerful in both civil and military affairs. Even if they are dissatisfied with his strategy of weakening and suppressing the nobles, the nobles in the world do not dare to openly resist. Instead, they work hard to return to the world and try every means to support His Majesty Li Er.
At the same time, preserve your strength.
But once His Majesty Li Er is away, and the prince continues to weaken and suppress the family's national policy, can these families still be forced to endure the pain and endure hardships?
Of course it's impossible.
Therefore, there is a situation where the clans from all over Hexi and Hedong are sending troops to help Guanlong in besieging the Taiji Palace. Soon after, clans from all over the world are very likely to respond and give full support to the Guanlong clan.
Under such circumstances, even if the East Palace wins the mutiny after Fang Jun returns to aid, how will it face the opposition of the world's elites?
