Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3523 A false alarm

Changsun Wuji's eyes were red and he looked haggard.

Falling to the ground is not forgiving, and this time I rushed all the way back from Liaodong, and I was about to fall apart.After returning to Chang'an, I started to make a series of arrangements and take care of everything. During this period, the continuous changes were extremely labor-intensive. So far, I have been a little bit unbearable.

Hearing Hou Mo Chenlin's words at this moment, he raised his head, frowned tightly, looked at Hou Mo Chenlin who didn't dare to lift his head, took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his face, tried his best to speak calmly, and asked lightly Said: "How is the battle going, let me tell you in detail."

"Here!"

Hou Mo and Chen Lin knew that they couldn't escape this test, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense to shirk responsibility, and explained the matter in detail.However, he was well aware of Changsun Wuji's temperament of protecting his weaknesses. Even if the main responsibility for this defeat was indeed with Changsun Wen, he didn't push it away completely, but took the responsibility on himself.

"It was all the negligence of the last general. I didn't expect that the artillery of Youtunwei was so fierce that it caused heavy losses to the cavalry. Before they reached the camp of Youtunwei, their morale was exhausted. When they encountered the counterattack of the Modao formation, their morale collapsed and the army's morale collapsed. The cavalry was routed so quickly that the infantry had no time to deal with it, so they could only retreat, but were chased and killed by the right guards, and suffered heavy losses."

Changsun Wuji put his hand on his forehead and remained silent.

This time when he sent troops to attack You Tunwei, he was determined to win. Although You Tunwei is strong, he has already divided his troops to pursue Zuo Tunwei to Zhongwei Bridge. The camp is bound to be empty, even 1 people No, [-] soldiers and horses will come rushing in, and they will be defeated like a broken bamboo.

As long as Youtunwei is defeated, Xuanwu Gate will be in the hands of Guanlong's army. No matter how elite the Beiya Forbidden Army on the city is, they will suffer from the shame of being too small in number. Guanlong's army will attack regardless of losses. It conquered, and then occupied the entire Taiji Palace, broke the defensive position of the Six Rates of the East Palace, and determined the universe.

However, the [-] soldiers and horses were killed before they even entered the camp, and returned in a complete defeat. They lost their soldiers and generals, and lost the initiative on the battlefield in vain.

Although the Guanlong army is currently besieging the imperial city, the situation is extremely powerful, but due to the fact that the forces of various Guanlong families in the army have been suppressed and repelled by His Majesty Li Er in recent years, the military power is very small, and most of the troops that can be gathered are mobs. The arrogance is monstrous, but there are not many soldiers who can fight.

The loss of [-] soldiers and horses did make him deeply saddened, but what was more frustrating than this was the loss of control over the situation.

From now on, the Guanlong army not only has no spare power to break through the imperial city suddenly, but also has no power to defeat the right guard and capture the Xuanwu gate...

If we lose the initiative of the situation, we can only grind it down little by little. I hope that the morale of the Sixth Army of the East Palace can be worn down as soon as possible. They are rushing back to Guanzhong day and night.

If it is not possible to capture the imperial city and depose the East Palace before the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns, and make everything an established fact, then Guan Long's remonstrance this time is doomed to end in failure.

And the end of the failure of the remonstrance, I dare not think about it...

Hou Mo and Chen Lin knelt down, feeling uneasy, the more dull and speechless Changsun Wuji was, the more frightened he was, lest this was the moment of calm before the storm, followed by a meal he would never be able to Accept the squalls.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. He couldn't help raising his head slightly, and saw Changsun Wuji sitting there frowning, tapping slowly on the desk with one hand, and quickly lowered his head again.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji asked in a shy voice: "Where is Changsun Wen? Let that rebellious son come to see me!"

The so-called knowing a son is like a father, how can he not know the virtues of his own son?Although Hou Mo Chen Lin didn't express much complaint and resentment in his words, but only from one or two details, it can be known that the eldest grandson Wen must have done something, otherwise Hou Mo Chen Lin is the chief general, how can he let his eldest grandson go Wen led the cavalry to attack Youtunwei one step ahead, causing the infantry and cavalry to separate. Is this the cause of the defeat?

What's more, Hou Mo and Chen Lin are the only ones who came to return to his life at the moment, but his son didn't even see him. It's nothing more than a guilty conscience.

snort!If you can escape the first day of junior high school, can you still escape the fifteenth day?
What a fool!

Hou Mo Chen Lin lowered his head even more, and said in a low voice, "This... the last general is guilty of death. After joining the army and withdrawing, the last general has been counted in the army, but there is no sign of Goro..."

With a sound of "clang", the paperweight on the desk was swept down to the ground by Changsun Wuji, and it bounced on the ground, which happened to land on the back of Hou Mo Chen Lin's hand, causing him to bark his teeth in pain.

Changsun Wuji's face was pale, he stared at Hou Mo and Chen Lin, and said word by word: "What do you mean?"

He thought that Changsun Wen had already met an accident and died in the chaos, and Hou Mo and Chen Lin's words were just to appease him, and he was in unbearable pain.No matter how incompetent he is, he is also the son of his eldest grandson Wuji, and he is still the first son.Over the years, his sons have died tragically one after another, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man again and again, which has already made his heart miserable. Hearing this news now, how can he feel better?

Hou Mo and Chen Lin hurriedly said: "For the time being, there is no bad news. The last general has ordered people to investigate several times, but there is no trace of Wulang. It can be seen that the cavalry must have thrown him off when they fled. It may not be an accident. .”

In fact, he was just saying this to appease Changsun Wuji. He said the matter was not so serious, and gave Changsun Wuji a buffer. When he was mentally prepared, even if he learned the news of Changsun Wen's death later, he might not be unacceptable.

In this way, the punishment he suffers will be lighter...

But Changsun Wuji is not a fool. He has experience in battles when he was young, and he knows that in the midst of such a large army, once someone disappears among the thousands of troops, he will almost certainly die. There is almost no chance of survival .

However, he was not as angry as Hou Mo and Chen Lin were worried. Instead, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I will investigate this matter in detail. It should be your responsibility. Don't try to escape. It's not your responsibility, old man." I definitely won't wrong you. But no matter what, as the chief general, there is no excuse for your defeat. If it weren't for the occasion of employing people, the old man will definitely push you out of the door, and show you the head of the people, so as to make an example of you! "

Hou Mo and Chen Lin's heart relaxed, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao Guo is wise and discerns every detail. He will eventually know that he is guilty and dare not argue."

In front of "yin people" like Changsun Wuji, sophistry will only make him more disgusted, and he can't hide his wisdom at all. The only way to show his sincerity is to take the blame for your son. attitude, it is possible to get away with it.

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said: "Let's make a note of this matter for now, and we will discuss it after the military remonstrance is successful. You go back and collect the defeated soldiers, rectify the troops, and strictly investigate the whereabouts of Changsun Wen. Don't slack off."

"Here!"

Hou Mo and Chen Lin hurriedly took orders, and saw that Changsun Wuji had no more orders, so he got up and left.Coming outside the hall, looking at the snow falling all over the sky, the whole Chang'an city was shrouded in snow and majesty, and then let out a long breath.

Inside the hall, Changsun Wuji had a gloomy face.

Hou Mo and Chen Lin's thoughts are naturally clear, but he thinks deeper.At present, although all the families in Guanlong are raising troops to respond to his military remonstrance, the rift between them has long been irreparable. suspicion.

Although he wished to kill Hou Mo Chen Lin, the culprit who caused his son's death in the army, he had to endure it, otherwise, once he severely punished Hou Mo Chen Lin, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Hou Mo Chen Lin's family .He had previously thrown Hou Mo Chenqian out to attract the firepower of the East Palace in order to deceive the world. Even if Hou Mo Chen's family realized it later, there must be a lot of complaints at this moment. If it adds fuel to the fire, it may not be impossible to part ways.

The current situation is unpredictable. If Guanlong's internal affairs cannot be united, this remonstrance may be more or less ominous...

In terms of "forbearance", no one in this world can compare to his eldest grandson Wuji, as long as it can lead to this remonstrance, he can endure anything.

I forced myself to suppress the grief of losing my son, and I was thinking about how to break the current situation. Suddenly I saw a school lieutenant striding forward from outside, and when he came to the front, he saluted: "Patriarch, You Tunwei sent people Send a letter, saying that Wulang is in their hands now, his life is safe, please don't worry about it, Patriarch."

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then relaxed, it turned out to be a false alarm...

Before that, he had even thought of simply setting the army on fire to Duke Liang's mansion to vent his hatred for the loss of his son. At this moment, he immediately understood that the reason why You Tunwei sent the news of the capture of the grandson Wen in such a timely manner was because he was worried about him. Under the raging anger, he ignored it and destroyed Liang Guogong's mansion.

After all, it is not only a huge family property, but also a face symbol of the Fang family father and son, which cannot be desecrated.
