Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4359 Desperate

Plans always fail to keep up with the rapid changes. Smart and wise men can calculate astronomy and geography but cannot fathom people's hearts. Often a slight change in a person's heart will cause things to deviate from the planned route and go astray. ,exactly……

Li Chengqian and Fang Jun's original plan was to lure the King of Jin to the vicinity of Chang'an to eliminate it, to minimize the possible poisoning of more than [-] rebels on Hedong, the Central Plains, and even Shandong, Jiangnan and other places, and then use this to make the Those rebellious people with ulterior motives and evil intentions jumped out one by one, cleaned up the court with the smallest cost, and then implemented the New Deal, reformed various malpractices, and focused on reforming the taxation, education, technology, etc. of the empire... …

The risks are great, but the rewards are too great. As long as it can be done, Li Chengqian's throne will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no civil strife in the empire for 30 years. This is a great opportunity to consolidate internal affairs and forge ahead.

But now that Yin Qinzhou suddenly raised troops to cross the Wei River, it might disrupt all the plans.

If concentrated firearms are used to deal a strong blow to Yin Qinzhou and cause the entire army to be defeated, it will make those waiting troops and clans feel jealous and throw their weapons at the mouse, and they will probably die from this, and have to hide their ambition and rebellion in their hearts and wait for opportunities; Responding with strength may delay the fighting opportunity, causing Li Daozong to be invincible in the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Chengqian naturally has a way to protect himself. He can either go out of the palace and rush out of the Chunming Gate to join the Six Rates of the East Palace, or escape from Chang'an City through the secret road, and retreat to Hexi under the protection of Fang Jun and Li Jing. Plan to counterattack Chang'an.

But in this way, the empire is bound to fall into civil strife, and all plans will be destroyed. Even if it can counterattack Chang'an in the future, the foundation of the empire will be destroyed. It will take at least 20 years to restore the vitality of the Zhenguan period...

Li Chengqian and Fang Jun don't have 20 years to waste, 1 years is too long, they just fight for the day and night.

So Fang Jun decisively ordered the artillery to be assembled and displayed in the camp of the Right Guards. As long as Yin Qinzhou dared to lead his Left Guards to come, he would definitely be attacked by heaven and earth.

……

Under the night, three pontoon bridges were supposed to be built on the Wei River. Hundreds of boats and boats were cruising on the water to ensure the safety of the pontoon bridges. Countless soldiers marched from the pontoon bridges to the south bank to build a temporary position, and the scouts came out together. Investigate the movements of Youtunwei.

In the temporary camp on the north bank of the river, Yin Qinzhou drank tea, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

After taking a nap, Dou Xi regained some energy. He sat opposite Yin Qinzhou in a robe, sipped a sip of tea from a teacup, looked at Yin Qinzhou's face, sighed softly, and said softly, "Don't resent me, old man." It is also a last resort. Since the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Guanlong Clan has rarely controlled the army. This is the result of the decline of talents, but it is also a choice made after the game with Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong acquiesced to Guan Long The clans control the government, but as a restraint to the Guanlongmen clan, they can only give up part of their military power..."

Yin Qinzhou said indifferently: "You don't have an army in your hands, so you put your ideas on others and force them to charge for you and die for you?"

"Hey, at the highest level of political interests, how can you be so emotional? Never use your emotions to influence your behavior."

Dou Xi shook his head, and continued: "Whether Emperor Taizong suppressed the Guanlongmen clan before, or Guanlong launched a mutiny to dethrone the prince during Emperor Taizong's expedition to Liaodong, although the consequences are serious, they can indeed have serious consequences for the Guanlongmen clan. The damage that may not recover for 100 years, but the Guanlong clan can still bear it. After all, life and death are more important than honor and disgrace. But now it is different. They are all imperial parties, with the words of the constitution and the law, and they are very likely to follow the trend to implement the New Deal... I don’t know what the New Deal is, but it is certain to suppress the powerful family, and Guan Long, as the most prominent family in the past, is known all over the world, but now he is The most frail, it is simply not suitable to be the chicken that warns the monkey."

Yin Qinzhou was silent.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he always has to do something different from the past to demonstrate his authority and establish his prestige. Those mediocre and incompetent emperors are distinguished.

Emperor Taizong was very talented, and almost all the children he gave birth to were outstanding people. Although Li Chengqian was not favored by Emperor Taizong, he was raised by Empress Wende since he was a child. He was taught by famous teachers all over the world. Besides, the qualifications are definitely not bad.

Such an emperor was once distrusted by Emperor Taizong. I don’t know how many civil and military ministers questioned him. After he is firmly on the throne, how can everything go on as usual and follow the rules?He must do something to demonstrate his political views, and declare to the world that he is a qualified emperor with absolute achievements.

Therefore, it is almost inevitable to implement the "New Deal".

And no matter what the specific content of the "New Deal" is, the clans all over the world will be the biggest stumbling block, and the Guanlong clan will bear the brunt...

With old and new grudges piled up in one place, how can it be related to the retreat of the Longmen Clan?
In this way, it can be understood that Yuwen Shi and his outrageous rebellion defected to King Jin, and ran around for him...

The tea was a little cold, Yin Qinzhou poured out the tea in the cup, made another cup, and said slowly: "Even if you force me to cross the Wei River and approach the Xuanwu Gate, the result is very likely to fail in the end."

Dou Xi disagrees: "Fang Jun is indeed the most outstanding figure in the government and the opposition in the past ten years. In the field, how much combat power can we still retain? Right now we have to attack the Xuanwu Sect and guard against Li Daozong in the palace, so we have no skills at all, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will definitely lose."

"When defeating Zuo Tunwei, Fang Jun used firearms."

Yin Qinzhou reminded.

Today, the power of firearms has long been known throughout the world. The Tang army equipped with firearms is rampant in the world and is invincible in the world. The firearms were all equipped by Youtunwei at first, which also made Youtunwei leap from a disbanded and reorganized army to a Among the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, the existence with the highest combat power.

You Tunwei equipped with firearms, who in the world dares to say that he will win?

Dou Xi waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, Guan Long has already investigated the Foundry Bureau in depth before, and its production has not yet recovered to [-]% of the original level, and it can only produce some thunder and gunpowder. Production will take time, so right now even if the right guards have muskets, they still lack pellets and gunpowder. How is it different from burning fire sticks? Besides, you don’t have to completely defeat the right guards when you cross the river this time. There will be drastic changes, and someone will come to reinforce it when the time comes."

Yin Qinzhou thought for a while and understood what Dou Xi meant.

Attacking Youtunwei and approaching Xuanwumen is just a posture, and it may not necessarily require Zuohouwei to defeat Youtunwei head-on.Before, everyone was against directly raising troops to participate in the war, because they had to bear too much risk, and no one could bear the consequences of failure.

Of course this is only one reason.

Another reason is that the garrisons and clans in various parts of Guanzhong don't trust each other now. Once someone is the first to go up, it is brave, but the rest may not follow, and may even stand on His Majesty's side and attack this "warrior"...

Now Dou Xi wants Yin Qinzhou to be the "warrior", the first to attack the Xuanwu Gate and His Majesty.

Moreover, Dou Xi was convinced that the rest of the garrisons and clans in Guanzhong would respond in groups, and swarmed in after them.

By that time, what's the point of being a mere right guard?
One mouthful of saliva is enough to obliterate it...

So the question now is whether Yin Qinzhou can persist under the counterattack of Youtunwei until the troops from all over the country come to reinforce?
But in any case, it seems that there is indeed a little more chance of winning.

Dou Xi saw that his expression softened slightly, and his mind relaxed a bit. He was really afraid that Yin Qinzhou would fear the enemy and fight cowardly, and would rather break up with Guan Long than lead his army across the river. Could it be that Guan Long would really start a war with Yin Qinzhou at that time?
Exhausting Guan Long's power can indeed crush the Liquan Yin family to pieces, but at the same time being suppressed and targeted by His Majesty, Guan Long will also exhaust the last trace of vitality, and it is impossible to leave a blood heir.

Therefore, what he did this time can be described as desperate and desperate.

"The turmoil and fights in this world are all for the word 'profit'. Guanlong is a whole without distinction, and interests are deeply entangled and inseparable. Your Liquan Yin family has also You have been entangled with Guan Long for a long time, and no one can be alone. In the face of danger, you can only work together and advance and retreat together. Go ahead and do it. If you can defeat Fang Jun head-on, you will replace Fang Jun and achieve your career as a world-renowned general. Since There is no way out, so let’s go all out.”

After expressing such emotions, Dou Xi's eyelids drooped again, and he felt drowsy.

Yin Qinzhou drank his tea and remained silent.

Being forced to this point, what else is there to say?

A captain came in from outside the tent, glanced at Dou Xi who was dozing off with his eyes closed, he hesitated to speak.

Yin Qinzhou put down his teacup and said, "What's the matter?"

The captain then said: "The Right Guards are attacking Xuanwu Gate with all their strength. The defenders of Xuanwu Gate are very tenacious, and it seems that they will not fall for a while. Our forward troops have already crossed the river. More than a thousand people came out in full force, forming a defense line on the south bank of Zhongwei Bridge."

Yin Qinzhou got up and came to the map to look carefully, and asked, "Did You Tunwei try to prevent us from crossing the river?"

The lieutenant shook his head: "Nothing unusual, You Tun Wei seems to be planning to wait for us to cross the river, and then fight head-to-head."

Yin Qinzhou frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
