Faced with Wu Meiniang's questioning, Fang Jun was shocked.
This girl is really gifted and has a keen sense of all conspiracies and plans...
Fang Jun coughed dryly and looked around: "What you are saying...if even we have lost our firm will to fight against the enemy and win, how can our soldiers be willing to fight to the death? It is better to pack our bags quickly and withdraw from Guanzhong.
Hexi is shrinking. Okay, don't talk too much about state affairs, we should talk about important matters that are related to your immediate interests... Where will my husband stay tonight?"
Jin Shengman, who was squeezing his shoulders behind him, blushed, and Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes flashed, looking at the husband who changed the subject with a half-smile.
Princess Gao Yang had a look of disgust on her face, waved her fair little hands, and sneered: "As if no one cares about it, you can sleep alone tonight."
Fang Jun let out a hey, winked, and said seriously: "Although I went to Luoyang in a hurry and traveled a long distance, it was still much easier than traveling thousands of miles from the Western Regions to help. Therefore, my husband is now full of energy and vigor.
, How about tonight, several good wives take turns to fight, and everyone competes with each other to compare their strengths and weaknesses..."
"Bah, bah, bah!"
These nonsense words made even Wu Meiniang's face turn red, and she spat: "You are so shameless, who would care to discuss with you? I am an old couple who knows the basics, so hurry up and take a shower and change clothes before resting."
As soon as the words came out, even she was stunned for a moment, and she immediately realized the ambiguity in it. She raised her hands and covered her face with her sleeves, feeling uncontrollably ashamed. Her beautiful, white face was filled with clouds, like a steamed crab.
Princess Gao Yang also blushed and said angrily: "You are really crazy, how can you speak so carelessly like this stick? Bah! You have no shame."
Fang Jun laughed loudly, and was pinched on the leg by Princess Gaoyang. He urged him to get up and go to the back to take a shower and change clothes, and then went to the tent on one side to sleep peacefully.
*****
That night, the Sixth Army of the East Palace mobilized large-scale troops. Thousands of elite soldiers swarmed up to the front line of Chengtian Gate. However, to the surprise of the Guanlong army, the Sixth Army of the East Palace did not forcefully rescue Cheng Chubi who was surrounded by soldiers.
Therefore, the Guanlong army's idea of "encircling the point for reinforcements" was completely abandoned, and instead they stormed Chengtianmen at dawn.
Li Siwen's troops and Qu Tuquan's troops swarmed up from both wings, bypassing the Guanlong troops in the Jiade Gate and Taiji Gate areas, and launched a fierce attack on the Chengtian Gate line behind them. Thousands of soldiers were protected by thunderbolts and bows and crossbows.
, launched a surprise attack regardless of casualties, trying to cut off the retreat of the Guanlong army that broke into Taiji Palace.
This tactic greatly exceeded the expectations of Guanlong's army. The Sixth Commander of the East Palace actually gave up rescuing Cheng Chubi's troops and sat back and watched as they fell into the crisis of being surrounded and possibly annihilated at any time. This made the army surrounding Cheng Chubi's troops unprepared and did not know what to do.
response.
At this time, it is certainly possible to annihilate Cheng Chubi's troops who are surrounded, but once Chengtianmen falls and the escape route is cut off, he will be surrounded by the six leaders of the East Palace...
After learning about the sudden change in the war situation, Changsun Wuji got up from the bed, dragged his injured leg, and urgently formulated a plan to retreat the entire army. He ordered Sun Jiaqing, the commander of the city outside the city, to enter the city overnight and rush to the Taiji Palace. Yu Yeting entered the Taiji Palace and advanced.
The front line of Suzhangmen and Mingmen Gate was extended to the right, forcing the Sixth Army of the East Palace to shrink their front line. The rest of the army stayed frontally on the front line of Chengtianmen, Yonganmen, and Changlemen.
The army that broke into Taiji Palace and surrounded Cheng Chubi's troops dispersed the encirclement and retreated to the Chengtian Gate in the rear...
Just as Fang Jun expected, when Li Ji led his troops outside and his attitude was unclear, Changsun Wuji felt deeply afraid and did not dare to annihilate Cheng Chubi's troops. The swords and arrows in the battle formation had no eyes, and if Cheng Chubi were to
Death in the army was equivalent to pushing Cheng Yaojin to the East Palace without any room for change. The relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji was very close and they trusted each other. Once this affected Li Ji's tendency, Guan Long
You will regret it deeply.
…
Changsun Wuji was sitting in the side hall, sipping tea, listening to the noisy voices and hurried footsteps in the main hall, his heart was in a mess, and he was very depressed.
Originally, he had imagined that when His Majesty Li Er died, the generals and commanders of the Eastern Expedition Army would be frightened and would return to Chang'an to avoid damaging their own interests after the new emperor came to the throne. However, he led the Guanlong families to suddenly revolt and raise troops.
He stormed the city, defeated the deposed prince in one fell swoop, and then supported the King of Jin to ascend to the position of crown prince, thus creating an established fact.
As long as Li Ji and others don't want the entire empire to fall into civil war, they can only hold their noses and recognize the fact that the King of Jin has become the crown prince, and then provide him with tangible benefits, then the overall situation will be settled.
However, a series of changes occurred one after another, causing the situation to fall into corruption and completely out of control.
First of all, the fighting power of the Sixth Army of the East Palace was completely beyond his expectation. When the prince abandoned the East Palace and forced himself into the Taiji Palace, the Sixth Army of the East Palace relied on the imperial city to fight to the death, and the Guanlong army suffered heavy casualties but could hardly advance.
Something bad has happened.
Who would have thought that Donggong Liusu, who was just reorganized in a hurry, would be so brave and good at fighting?
After all, he still underestimated Li Jing's ability, thinking that the "Military God" had lost his original prestige and ability after relinquishing his military duties and living in hiding in the mansion for many years. Who would have expected that Li Jing had been hiding in the palace for many years, and instead became involved in the military?
Become a master of the art of war in the world, and your abilities will be even better than before...
Then, the King of Jin and the King of Wei successively refused to ascend to the position of crown prince. This was a more fatal omission than the six-speed explosion of powerful combat power in the East Palace.
As the saying goes, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right." The banner of Guanlong's army was "to bring order to the chaos and depose the East Palace." It is known to the world that His Majesty Li Er intended to depose the crown prince and establish the King of Jin. Although there was no His Majesty's will, he deposed the East Palace and the East Palace without permission.
There is no doubt that there is rebellion, but as long as the King of Jin is promoted to the position of crown prince, it can be regarded as "obeying the decree of heaven", which can be justified in legal terms.
However, the kings of Jin and Wei refused to ascend the throne without hesitation, causing Changsun Wuji to suddenly change from a loyal minister who "brought order to order" to a "rebellious minister", and had no choice but to give up his majesty's two legitimate sons and support him as a concubine.
The king of Qi, Li You, was made the crown prince, and he had no choice but to do so.
You can't break into the Tai Chi Palace and sit on the throne of the emperor yourself, right?
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he hasn't lost his reason. Although the Changsun family has great power for a while, with Guan Long as its leader, it still lacks the foundation of a king who can rule a state and be followed by thousands of people.
Just like the Yuwen family in those days, the Yuwen family entered the Sui Dynasty from Wei to Zhou Dynasty and has always been one of the top families in the world, but it has never been able to control a state or county. Therefore, even though it later hanged Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and established himself as emperor,
But he was defeated and died in an instant.
Of course, Yu Wenhuaji didn't know that he was far from the foundation and strength to ascend the throne as an emperor. The reason why he established himself as emperor and named his founding country "Xu" was because he was already at the end of his rope at that time. He lamented, "Life is about to die, isn't it the same?"
"I will become an emperor one day", and I had the addiction of being an emperor before I died.
His eldest grandson Wuji is far from that level...
All of these, one after another, were unexpected, which directly led to the current predicament.
And what was least expected by him was that Li Ji's actions were completely contrary to his character and interests, and he kept leading his troops to the outside world without saying anything. It was difficult to guess what he was thinking in his heart...
The hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops were like a sword hanging over Changsun Wuji's head. They could chop him down at any time and cut him into pieces. However, at this point, Changsun Wuji was unable to get off the tiger, so he could only fight with all his life to kill him.
After the fall of the East Palace, I looked back and thought about how to deal with Li Ji.
Generally speaking, Li Ji has been unable to reveal his tendencies and positions, which may not necessarily mean that he intends to use his own troops to seize the maximum benefit when the victory or defeat in Chang'an is about to be decided.
It is more likely that the reason why Li Ji acted so contrary to common sense was because he was coerced by the Shandong family behind him...
Changsun Wuji was confused and depressed.
To this day, he can only try his best to coerce all the people in the world to participate in this mutiny. Even if there is another suspicion in his heart that can frighten him to the extreme, he has to suppress it and pray.
My worries are unfounded...
…
In the Tai Chi Palace, war was raging.
Starting before dawn, both sides invested huge forces, fighting for every inch of territory, fearing death, and suffering heavy casualties. However, Donggong Sixth Leader took the initiative to give up rescuing Cheng Chubi's troops, sent his troops from both wings into the rebel rear formation, and stormed Chengtianmen.
As a result, the rebels were caught off guard and lost sight of the other. After having to abandon the already surrounded Cheng Chubi's troops, they fought back with the support of reinforcements, and the two armies fought against Chengtianmen.
Until noon, due to lack of troops, the Sixth Army of the East Palace could not capture the heavily guarded Chengtian Gate. Moreover, they had to take care of Changsun Jiaqing's troops who broke into the palace from Yeting, so they had to evacuate to the palace, and Cheng Chubi, who was almost completely wiped out, had to evacuate the palace.
