Volume 3: Once you enter the capital, it is as deep as the sea Chapter 86: The Battle of Sui and Tang Dynasties (16)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Night fell over Chang'an. In the darkness, more than two hundred men in black lined up and approached the Golden Gate. The city gate was closed at this time. The leading man in black drew his bow and arrow and shot a dynamite at the top of the city, alerting the defenders on the city.  .

    "Who is he?" the defenders on the city shouted sharply.

    "Let General Yang Xiao answer!"

    Yang Xiao is the captain guard of Jinguangmen and a member of King Li Yuanji of Qi. The soldiers guarding the city rushed to report. Not long after, Yang Xiao hurried over. He looked over and whispered to the soldiers: "  Open the door a crack and let them into the city."

    The law of the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited opening the city at night, except for emergency military situations. Even the princes and nobles did not have the privilege of leaving the city at night. It can be said that this was the most severe prohibition in the Tang Dynasty, but the guard tonight actually ordered the city to be opened and people allowed to enter.  , this is a capital crime.

    Although the soldiers had some resistance in their hearts, they still did not dare to resist the general's order. They had to slowly lower the suspension bridge and opened the city gate a crack. Two hundred men in black quickly lined up and entered the city. Yang Xiao watched the men in black enter.  He couldn't help but shook his head. He used to dress up as civilians and enter the city during the day, but now he enters the city openly at night. It seems that King Qi is about to take action.

    The man in black entered the city and quickly disappeared into the night. Yang Xiao ordered the soldiers to close the city gate and go back to his room to continue sleeping. When several soldiers on duty saw him walking away, they let out a loud "Bah!"  .

    "Who dares to open the city gate without permission?"

    Although several soldiers despised Yang Xiao, everyone felt very uneasy. They sat down against the wall and started chatting in low voices.

    "Have you seen that these men in black are all brave men from King Qi's private fund? I heard that he has raised thousands of people privately. It seems that King Qi is ready to take action."

    "Of course he has ambitions. The Holy Emperor is critically ill and the military power is in the hands of the King of Qi. I think he is going to mutiny."

    "There's no chance of a mutiny! Is King Qin's main force still outside?"

    "The main force of the fart must have been defeated long ago."

    At this time, a veteran sighed, "The Sui Dynasty has unified most of the country. Hundreds of thousands of Sui troops are pressing down on the country. I heard that Tongguan and Tongguandao have been lost. The brothers are still fighting for power. It's really their own fault."  , Can¡¯t live, everyone, we have to think about ourselves, saving lives is the most important thing.¡±

    "Brother Ma is right. What does the internal fighting among their brothers have to do with us? I think the Sui Dynasty was good and willing to give us land. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, they promised to share the land as soon as they entered Guanzhong, but there has been no movement so far. It is obvious  It just fools us, the Tang Dynasty is unjust, why should we sacrifice our lives for it?"

    While the soldiers were discussing in secret, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the city, getting closer and closer. Several soldiers stood up and looked outside the city. They could faintly see a black figure on horseback heading towards the city gate.  Come quickly.

    "Urgent military situation, open the city gate quickly!" Under the city was a messenger cavalry.

    Several soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurried to report the guard Yang Xiao. After a while, Yang Xiao hurried over and asked, "Where is the messenger?"

    "I am sent by His Highness the King of Qin to make an urgent report to the Crown Prince."

    Yang Xiao was startled and asked quickly: "What's going on with King Qin?"

    "The King of Qin was defeated in Qianshuiyuan, King Zhao was killed in battle, and the King of Qin has led the remaining army to retreat to Xinping County. The situation is very critical."

    Everyone in the city was shocked. Yang Xiao did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered the city to be opened. The cavalry who reported the news rushed into the city and rushed towards the East Palace. The defenders at the top of the city were panicked. King Qin was defeated. Li Xuanba was actually killed.  Don is really finished.

    Yang Xiao ordered the city to be closed. At this time, he couldn't calm down anymore. He found an excuse to get out of the city and rushed to Prince Qi's Mansion

    The room was brightly lit, and Li Yuanji was discussing the final plan with his four confidants, including Wang Shubao, Duan Da, Zhu Jie, and Li Deren. Their plan was implemented smoothly. Li Yuan was critically ill. The imperial court had sent someone to inform King Qin, hoping that King Qin could return immediately.  Beijing, according to the information they had, Pei Ji also sent people to report the situation to King Qin, and it is estimated that Tang Feng also sent people to rush there.

    Once the King of Qin returns to Chang'an and enters the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, it's time for them to take action.

    Li Yuanji seemed very excited. Now all the nets have been laid, waiting for King Qin to fall into the trap.

    At this moment, a guard outside the door reported: "Your Highness, Jinguang Gate guard Yang Xiao has something important to report."

    Li Yuanji nodded, "Order him to come in!"

    After a while, the guards brought Yang Xiao into the room. Yang Xiao stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to report, "Your Highness, King Qin just sent someone to deliver urgent military information. I heard that the Tang army was defeated and King Zhao was killed in battle."

    This news made everyone look at each other in shock. Li Yuanji asked anxiously: "Where is King Qin now?"

    "It seems that in Xinping County, he sent people to?Ask for help.  "

    At this time, Wang Shubao asked: "Who is the person reporting to?"

    "I heard someone said that he was reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince."

    Wang Shubao frowned and thought for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Li Yuanji: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the prince will take action."

    £ªbai£ªdegree£ªsearch£ªsearch£ªeight£ªone£ª£ª.  .  .

    In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng had not yet fallen asleep. He was discussing the next step in the study with Wang Gui and Chai Shao. He also knew about the murder of Warrior Yi, but King Qi did not launch a palace coup, which surprised him.  However, his father's condition suddenly worsened and his life was in danger. Li Jiancheng seemed to understand something.

    Chai Shao sided with Prince Li Jiancheng in this brotherly dispute. His Prince Consort had three hundred servants with high martial arts skills who could help Li Jiancheng to eradicate Qi King Li Yuanji.

    Chai Shao said worriedly: "Your Highness, it is obvious that the emperor's condition has suddenly worsened to the point of critical illness. This can only be done by the King of Qi. He used the emperor's critical illness to recall the King of Qin to Chang'an. It was then that he took action.  Opportunity, Your Highness, we cannot wait any longer.¡±

    Speaking of this, Chai Shao asked Wang Gui again, "How is Tang Feng doing? Is Zhang Gongjin willing to cooperate with us?"

    Wang Gui shook his head, "I looked for him again last night, and he still said the same thing. He has no right to make a decision. He must get the order from King Qin."

    "well!"

    There was a sigh from the side, and Chai Shao and Wang Gui looked at Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, staring at the night outside the window. He did not look back, but said lightly: "Even if Tang Feng cooperates with us, our strength  It¡¯s still not enough, Prince Qi¡¯s Mansion has gathered three thousand warriors, if it weren¡¯t for Prince Qin, he would have taken action long ago.¡±

    Li Jiancheng turned around and looked at Chai Shao and Wang Gui, "We only have two chances. One is that King Qin is willing to cooperate with me and send his army into the city, or Changsun Shunde and Duan Decao completely obey my orders."

    Chai Shao frowned and said: "But isn't Duan Decao one of His Highness? How could he be where he is today if His Highness hadn't promoted him? Why didn't he obey His Highness's orders? I think Your Highness can talk to him again.  "

    Li Jiancheng shook his head, "I just talked to him this morning, and he also said that he would obey the Lord's arrangements. As long as the Lord gives me the command, he will be loyal to me. The implication is that he is only loyal to my father."

    "Humph! The Holy One is almost dying, is he still so pedantic?" Chai Shao said bitterly.

    Li Jiancheng sat down slowly and said solemnly: "Actually, he has another deeper meaning. If my father is gone, he may be loyal to me, and the same goes for his eldest grandson Shunde."

    When Li Jiancheng said these words, the room suddenly became quiet.

    At this moment, a guard outside the door hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, the King of Qin sent someone to report that there is an urgent military situation!"

    Li Jiancheng was taken aback and said quickly: "Bring him here quickly."

    Not long after, several guards led the messenger into the study. The messenger knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

    "How is the intelligence from King Qin?"

    Li Jiancheng asked anxiously. He had always been concerned about the war on the front line. At this time, Chai Shao and Wang Gui's expressions also became solemn. The messengers were not happy at all, which made them feel a little bit bad.

    "Reporting to Your Highness, the King of Qin was defeated by the Sui army in Qianshuiyuan and was defeated in both battles. He has now retreated to Xinping County and begged Your Highness for assistance."

    Li Jiancheng didn't speak for a long time, his expression was extremely gloomy. Although he knew in his heart that the possibility of the Tang army defeating the Sui army was very small, when the news of the failure really came, his heart was still full of bitterness.  "

    The messenger said again: "His Royal Highness King Zhao was also unfortunately killed when he attacked the Sui army's camp."

    Li Jiancheng let out a long sigh. Now that things have happened, all misfortunes are about to become a reality. After a while, Li Jiancheng asked again: "How does King Qin want me to help him?"

    The messenger took out Li Shimin's autographed letter and presented it to Li Jiancheng with both hands, "This is a letter from King Qin. Please read it before His Highness the Crown Prince."

    Li Jiancheng took the letter and read it. In the letter, Li Shimin stated that there were still nearly 20,000 troops. If the 40,000 troops in the capital could come to help, then he could still fight the Sui army and have a chance to win. He hoped that he could convince his father.  Send troops to help him.

    This letter made Li Jiancheng slightly startled. Didn¡¯t King Qin receive the news that his father was critically ill?  He handed the letter to Chai Shao and ordered the guards, "Take the messenger down and reward him with fifty coins."

    "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

    When the messenger went down, Li Jiancheng asked Chai Shao: "Didn't King Qin receive the news that his father is critically ill?"

    Chai Shao also looked sad, XuanThe death of Ba and the defeat of Qianshuiyuan really made him feel extremely uncomfortable. After a while, he sighed and said: "Given how impatient King Qi is, how could he not tell the people? The people should have noticed it.  The King of Qi¡¯s intention may be that the situation is urgent and he does not bother to return to the capital. Your Highness, it seems that the King of Qin is not willing to give in and wants to fight again.¡±

    At this time, Wang Gui next to him said excitedly: "Your Highness, maybe this is a great opportunity to seize the military power of King Qi."

    Li Jiancheng was startled, "Are you saying that I will personally lead the troops to assist the King of Qin?"

    Wang Gui nodded, "Exactly like this, His Highness can ask the Holy One for orders to lead the army to assist the King of Qin. Even if the Holy One only gives His Highness half of the army, we will have a chance to overthrow the King of Qi. When we use thunderbolt means to solve the problem of Qi,  After the Wang Rebellion, the people of Chang'an were then mobilized to support the Tang army, and perhaps tens of thousands of troops could be mobilized at that time."

    Li Jiancheng walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then looked at Chai Shao. Chai Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, as things stand now, only extraordinary methods can be used to do extraordinary things."

    Li Jiancheng finally nodded, "Okay! I'll go find my father right now."
