Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4131 Entering Chang'an

The wind and rain suddenly rushed, and the rain poured down. The sound of war drums in the guards of the right guards below the city was connected with the rain. Countless soldiers stepped on the muddy ground and braved the heavy rain.

Niu Jinda's whole body had already been drenched by rain, but the palm of his hand holding the handle of the horizontal knife was sweating. Facing the almost decisive attitude of the right guard to attack the city, he had to make a choice as the general who defended the city - fight to the death with all his strength, and fight with all his might. Keep the city gate intact.

However, now his mind is full of the content of the letters just now, and the rest is easy to say, whether it is true or false, it is not up to him as a general to worry about it, but how can he treat His Majesty's will as nothing?
Zhenguan Xunchen, it is really hard to imagine how His Majesty Li Er respects and loves outsiders. As long as His Majesty Li Er gives an order, these people are willing to follow his subordinates to fight to the death. It is a supreme honor to fight side by side with His Majesty.

So, who can endure the trampling of His Majesty's will, and His Majesty's will not be enforced?
Even if His Majesty really passed on the throne to a descendant of the clan instead of his own son, the ministers of Zhenguan will firmly support it.

Of course, the premise is that His Majesty really left a will, and the will in King Jin's hand was indeed ordered by His Majesty...

If the edict is true, if you keep the right Marquis Wei out of the city so that the prince can board the plane smoothly, you will violate your majesty's last wish and fail your majesty's trust; sinner...

But where can we judge the authenticity of this edict?

Therefore, Niu Jinda is in a dilemma and is in a dilemma. He can only wait for Cheng Yaojin to issue a military order as soon as possible. I believe that with Cheng Yaojin's wisdom, he will be able to identify the authenticity and make a choice...

Just when the first wave of arrows rained from the guards of the right marquis under the city, Cheng Yaojin's order finally came belatedly, and the soldiers were ordered to fly up to the top of the city, and shouted anxiously: "The commander-in-chief has an order, immediately Retreat from the top of the city, abandon the Chunming Gate, and retreat to the camp!"

Niu Jinda didn't have time to chew on the meaning of this order. He only knew that he didn't need to do this multiple-choice question. He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Everyone must not fight back, use wooden shields to protect themselves, cover alternately, withdraw go down!"

"Here!"

The defenders were ordered to retreat to the city immediately.They are all elite veterans who have been fighting for many years. Even though the arrows above their heads are scurrying around like locusts, they are not in the slightest. Chances are, they retreated down the top of the city in an orderly manner along the steps, then assembled at the bottom of the city, followed Niu Jinda's horse and quickly retreated into the city.

When Su Jia put on his helmet and armor and led his soldiers to the top of the city, the entire Chunming Gate tower was already empty. Su Jia raised his horizontal knife and cheered with the soldiers around him, then opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge to welcome the army into the city.

On the other side of the moat under the city, Jin Wang Li Zhi stood in the wind and rain eagerly watching the battle on the city. Seeing that You Houwei had already climbed the tower, he finally let go of his hanging heart.

Entering the city is the first and most important step in the battle to win the heir. Zuo Wuwei is brave and good at fighting, but if he defends the Chunming Gate, he will be as solid as gold, and it is difficult for the right Houwei to capture the city.Once the battle is frustrated, the blow to morale is extremely huge, and I don't know how many followers will die halfway.

Now that the army has captured the Chunming Gate like a broken bamboo, the morale of the army is high, and many onlookers will come to join them along the way, and a great event will be accomplished...

Cui Xin beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he stroked his beard with a relaxed attitude: "Lu Guogong understands the righteousness and keeps his word, and he ordered the Zuowu guards not to resist and withdraw from the city. Otherwise, there will be a bloody battle right now, with heavy casualties. They are all Datang Huben and Han Jiaerlang, if they die here like this, it is really heartbreaking."

Xiao Yu raised his eyelids, and said calmly: "The traitor is in charge, and the principles are always upside down. It's time for our blood to recommend the country. Even if the corpse is buried on the spot, it is a worthy death. The benevolence of Mrs. Cui is unnecessary."

Cui Xin's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "Shandong Erlang has been famous for his loyalty and courage since ancient times. Why is he afraid of life and death? The old man is just old and doesn't see too many life and death. These young people are our blood, the empire In the future, if those in power cannot take pity on them, the future of the empire will be in jeopardy."

Li Zhi listened to these two talking back and forth, one laughed at the benevolence of the other woman, and the other laughed at the fact that the barren land in the south of the Yangtze River has been full of smog and bandits since ancient times, so he felt a little headache...

The big thing has not been accomplished, do you need to fight for merit and suppress Pao Ze?

However, he can also understand that no matter how far the situation develops, Cheng Yaojin's "stand by and watch" is the most important link, so the Shandong family has made great contributions and has already suppressed the Jiangnan gentry.How could Xiao Yu, the leader of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, allow this kind of thing to happen?

We all know that internal fighting is a stupid act, it can make loved ones hurt and enemies happy, but what people fight in this world is profit, and there is unavoidable internal strife when there are conflicts of interest.

"Duke Lu has contributed a lot to this battle, but the East Palace will never sit still. The sixth rate of the East Palace is strong and Wei Guogong is in command. It is absolutely impossible to overcome it with one blow. A stalemate is inevitable. When the time comes, the battle will be over. The winners and losers are the family soldiers who came to support each other, and I hope that you will cooperate sincerely and plan great things together."

Li Zhi could only speak to comfort him.

According to the predicted situation in advance, it is almost impossible for You Houwei to have a showdown with the Eastern Palace in Chang'an City. In the end, it must be a close situation, and the Eastern Palace has a slight advantage.Because the Ministry of War is under the control of the East Palace, the Youhouwei will no longer have supplies of military equipment, food, fodder and supplies, so they will eventually withdraw to Tongguan to guard the dangerous area and divide the world into two.

Naturally, in Guanzhong, the Eastern Palace has the upper hand, while in Guandong, it is dominated by the elites from Shandong and Jiangnan.

Therefore, the final decisive battle must be in Tongguan.

Was it the prince who captured Tongguan in one fell swoop based on the powerful attack of Qinchuan, which had been destroyed by the war, or was it Li Zhi who occupied Tongguan and relied on the continuous supply of Shandong and Jiangnan to break through the East Palace and win the reversal...

Who will kill the deer is unknown.

It's not time for you to fight...

Sure enough, Xiao Yu and Cui Xin shut up together.

Behind him, Chu Suiliang, who had always had a very low sense of presence, suddenly said, "His Royal Highness obeyed the destiny and raised troops to revolt, but the princess and the prince are both in the city, and their safety is worrying. I wonder if the servant of the king can think of a way to get them out?"

Li Zhi looked at Wang Shoushi and raised his troops to fight for the heir, but his wife and children were trapped in Chang'an and would soon fall into the enemy's hands, saying that he was not worried about how it would be possible...

Wang Shoushi hunched over, stood in the shadow behind Li Zhi, shook his head, and said, "The only two secret passages in Prince Jin's Mansion were blocked by Changsun Wuji's people during the last Guanlong Mutiny to prevent His Highness fled... Fortunately, this time His Highness is under house arrest in the palace, if he stays in the mansion, this old servant will have no way to bring His Highness out of the city."

Li Zhi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yu comforted him and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Crown Prince has always been hypocritical, and the reason why he is supported by many people is because of his benevolence. Although His Highness raised his troops today, this is the cause of righteousness. If the Crown Prince rashly opposes Jin The concubine is not good for the son, isn't it exposing the name of benevolence that I have been operating for many years? At that time, everyone will know that he is a hypocrite, and the foundation he built will collapse, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

The implication is that if the crown prince wants face and reputation, he must not dare to do any harm to the family of the King of Jin; If the crown prince really did that, he would destroy his reputation and make King Jin even more famous.

As for the concubine and the prince... compared to the throne, what are they worth?

Didn't Han Gaozu lose his wife to Xiang Yu when he was desperate?

Didn't Liu Bei abandon his wife to his opponent when he fled in a panic?And the opponent is Cao Mengde, who is recognized as a "good woman"...

It doesn't matter, as long as you ascend to the throne, all the nine states in the world will belong to you.

Chu Suiliang endured it, but still felt that he should remind: "His Royal Highness will definitely not hurt Jin Wangfei and the eldest son, but when the time comes, there will be chaos in Chang'an City. What if the chaos breaks into the palace and hits the nobleman? You should form a team, Your Highness." People must go back to the palace first to pick up the nobleman, so that they will be safe and sound."

Xiao Yu glanced at Chu Suiliang, and said calmly: "Of course, this matter has been arranged for a long time. If you only think about it at this time, it will be too late."

Chu Suiliang drooped his eyelids and remained silent.

Obviously, some people even think that it would be better for Princess Jin to have some kind of accident, and then indiscriminately pin it on the prince's head, which makes the reason for the army to enter the city to seize the heir apparent even more reasonable, and can fully win the sympathy of others.

And among them, whether His Royal Highness King Jin acquiesced, whether he knew about it or not...is insignificant.

This made Chu Suiliang firm in his support for the King of Jin. A man does not care about trivial matters. All benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit. The winner is the king and the loser is just a bandit.

From this point of view, the heart of the king of Jin is indeed more suitable to be an emperor than the benevolent prince of a woman...

Yu Chigong ignored Chu Suiliang, he was coerced, and he didn't agree with everyone, he asked Li Zhi with a smile: "Your Highness, you want to enter the city, and go to the Chengtian Gate to scold the prince personally?"

Li Zhi smiled with a guilty conscience, shook his head and said, "No, it's stormy and full of guns and arrows, it's better not to cause trouble for the generals. This king is just outside the city, waiting for the news of Duke E's triumphant return."

Yu Chigong slapped the breastplate twice, and said in a ruthless voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, it will take some time for the Sixth Commander of the East Palace to enter the city, and we will definitely be faster. I will definitely go all out to enter the Taiji Palace to meet the overall situation and help His Highness ascend the throne." pole!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran two steps, jumped on the horse, and led his soldiers to chase the troops into the city like lightning.

For him, this is a gamble under the influence of the Guanlong Clan, and there is no retreat.Whether or not Tai Chi Palace can be conquered in one fell swoop means not only whether the mutiny can be won, but also depends on his own merits and status during this period. Gong's role is almost nothing, and he can only watch the status and power of the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan under King Jin's command soar unprecedentedly.

This is absolutely unbearable, so he regards this battle as his own decisive battle, if he fails, he will be benevolent.
