A big battle in Xingqing Palace completely ignited the fire of war in Chang'an City, before the Shenwu Army mutiny also maintained great restraint, after the Longwu Army marched into Chang'an, the public security situation took a sharp turn for the worse, burning people's houses, rape and burning from time to time. This was not intentionally done by Li Mi, who temporarily took over the military power, but for the sake of the primary goal, these details could only be turned a blind eye. As long as Xingqing Gongbei captures the Son of Heaven and forces him to take the throne, everything can be restored after the crown prince ascends the throne.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mi has stepped up the offensive again and again, and everyone knows that with the situation of Xingqing Palace, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold the dawn.

And the Shenwu Army located in the Taiji Palace also launched a fierce debate, and the one who was deeply worried about Qin Jin's situation was Zheng Xianli, the military superintendent. Since the beginning of the war, Zheng Xianli has returned to the Shenwu Army and followed Qin Jin, but he has never led the troops again, and has been living behind the scenes to give advice.

"Once the Son of Heaven regains control of the court, how can Zhonglang deal with himself?"

His worries are not wrong, how can Li Longji, as a generation of heavenly sons, tolerate a person who once betrayed him and live a decent life?

"Zhonglang will do this, how is it different from drinking a donkey to quench his thirst?"

Qin Jin didn't answer and asked: "In Brother Zheng's opinion, what choice should Shenwu Jun and Qin make?"

Zheng Xianli sighed, Qin Jin is understandable to do this, he must always consider self-protection first, otherwise he can't even save his life, what qualifications do he have to talk about the future?

Speaking of which, this is to blame for that Pei Jing's reckless behavior, if he hadn't rushed to send troops, how could Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army end up in the current situation? But the truth of the matter seems to be more than that, because according to later facts, it was a brigade leader named Xue Si who falsely passed on Qin Jin's military orders.

And this Xue Si was coerced and controlled by Yang Guozhong, after all, the final initiator is still counted on Yang Guozhong's head.

It's a pity that the East Palace, where Yang Guozhong was imprisoned, was guarded by the Sixth Rate of the East Palace, and the prince's attack was so sudden that the Shenwu Army also lost control of Yang Guozhong.

"General Zhonglang should never suggest to the Son of Heaven that once the Shence Army enters Chang'an from Longyou, won't it cut off the back road of the Shenwu Army?"

Zheng Xianli was obviously more worried, Qin Jin had suggested to Li Longji before nightfall that the Shenwu army of Zhaozhou in Longyou should be transferred to King Qinwang of Chang'an, and Li Longji gladly agreed to Qin Jin's suggestion.

Speaking of the Shence Army in Zhaozhou, it has a deep relationship with Shangshu's left servant. In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan defeated Tubo in Longyou, but the threat of Tubo was not eliminated, and Longyou was the western gateway of Guanzhong, which was convenient for Zhaozhou to place the Shence army, and its general Cheng Ruxuan was the soldier and horse envoy of the Shence army.

After the An Lushan rebellion, the imperial court did not transfer this elite army to the east, in order to prevent the tiger-eyed Tubo from threatening the hinterland of Guanzhong.

Now in the palace, the closest army to Chang'an belongs to the Zhaozhou Shence Army. Otherwise, how could the Shenwu army, with only 3,000 men, be able to withstand the 350,000-strong Longwu army? What's more, after the crown prince gained the upper hand, he continued to integrate the other armies of the Sixteen Guards, even if they were all rabble, they were far superior in numbers to the overstretched Shenwu army.

Therefore, the only way Qin Jin could think of was to mobilize the army into Chang'an, otherwise where would he conjure up enough men to resist the Long Wu army?

Qin Jin seems to have a look of being a bamboo in his chest.

"Chang'an is more than 200 miles away from Zhaozhou, and now I am only worried that if the Shence army arrives in time, it will ruin a certain plan!"

From Qin Jin's words, Zheng Xianli heard it, and it seemed that there was still a sound outside the strings, so he asked with surprise and joy:

"Could it be that Zhonglang will have other plans?"

Qin Jin only smiled and didn't answer.

……

Du Qianyun survived in a desperate situation, and was rescued by Qin Jin's Shenwu army, and what was even more unexpected was that he was actually entrusted with a heavy task by the Son of Heaven, thinking of the power and wealth that he might get at his fingertips next, the whole person became light. He only knew that the mutiny in Chang'an was initiated by Qin Jin to persecute the crown prince Li Heng today, but the development of things was often unexpected, and Qin Jin actually sided with the Son of Heaven again.

Thinking about Qin Jin's demonic good luck, Du Qianyun felt that he would definitely not be wrong to stand on the side of this person.

"Stop, the forbidden army closes the road, and they all retreat!"

The sudden outburst of drinking pulled Du Qianyun back to reality from his contemplation, which made him startled on the horse, and his body shook and almost sat upright, and he fell.

Du Qianyun contemptuously ordered the seal letter to be handed over to the forbidden army who was blocking the way.

When the forbidden soldiers who blocked the way saw it, they bowed down and hurriedly returned the seal.

"The captain forgives his sins, and he is also acting on military orders!"

Du Qianyun laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Execute the military order, strictly investigate, what is the crime? You have done a good job, don't let the spies get involved!"

In front of it are Daning Fang and Changle Fang, and it is inevitable that the forbidden army will check it strictly. Du Qianyun said secretly, fortunately, when he escaped earlier, he had a seal letter sent by the sixth rate of the East Palace, otherwise he really didn't know how to get past in the face of such a strict investigation.

Du Qianyun pretended to praise a few more words, and then took a dozen entourages all the way to Yanzhengmen. Although the purpose of his trip was to garrison the Longwu Army, he was not to see the crown prince, but to prepare to meet the general Chen Xuanli in secret.

"Humble, meet the general!"

When Chen Xuanli saw Du Qianyun, his face was full of surprise and incredulity.

"You, you, didn't Li Mi already order...... How did you get in?" Li Mi had previously ordered to get rid of Yang Guozhong's old ministry in order to clean up the troubles. The garrison of the Longwu Army is not the east and west cities, and it is said that you can enter, but Du Ganyun was not only not killed, but even swaggered into the garrison of the Shenlong Army, which is really a strange thing.

Du Qianyun smiled proudly and did not explain the reason.

"He was so angry that he not only escaped, but also met General Qin and the sage. ”

Chen Xuanli's eyebrows jumped.

"Saint, which saint?"

"Which saint else can it be?

Chen Xuanli was completely confused.

"Isn't the saint in Xingqing Palace?"

Du Qianyun stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Let's be honest, there is only Gao Xianggong in Xingqing Palace, and the saint has already been secretly picked up by General Qin, and now he is safely in Taiji Palace!" Speaking of this, there was a little more hatred in his voice. "Li Mi's shaft is still like a fool, competing around Xingqing Palace, and it is only a matter of time before he is defeated. ”

After cursing for a while, Du Qianyun looked at Chen Xuanli, who was silent, and took out a letter from his arms.

"If the general refuses to believe it, read the edict written by the saint himself!"

Chen Xuanli took the letter from Du Qianyun's hand, and couldn't wait to unfold it, although he was a little scribbled on it, it was really the handwriting of the Son of Heaven, and the letter was also stamped with the personal seal of the Son of Heaven, which was rarely known to outsiders, and it was difficult to fake it in a hurry.

In the letter, the words of the Son of Heaven were very sincere, promising that everything would not be blamed in the past, as long as Chen Xuanli was willing to turn back, they would still know each other as ordinary monarchs and ministers in the past.

"How's that, the general believes it?"

Chen Xuanli shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The letter is indeed not false, but Chen is now empty-handed, and all the military power belongs to the prince's confidant Li Mi......"

He said a lot, but it only showed one thing, that is, he had been hollowed out, and he had no military power in his hands, even if he had the heart to do it, he was unable to do it!

Du Qianyun finally heard some ways from it, and secretly scolded Chen Xuanli for the old fox, who doesn't know that he has controlled the Longwu Army for more than ten years, even if most of the new army listens to Chen Changshi, but which of the old army generals is not single-handed? Once he says a word, isn't it still easy to do it?

It seems that if you don't make a big deal, you can't let this old fox obediently.

"The general may still know something, General Qin suggested that the Son of Heaven transfer the Shence army of Zhaozhou to aid Chang'an, and the inner supervisor Yu Chaoen has already gone in the starry night, and he can transfer the army in a few days. The general didn't remind him of ......"

……

Outside the Xingqing Palace, Li Mi successively transferred 10,000 horses and attacked Xingqing Gate and Yuelong Gate successively. After a whole night of fighting, although the losses were heavy, the guards in the Xingqing Palace were also greatly injured.

"Sir, the Forbidden Army General asks to see you. ”

Li Mi sneered, what these veterans of the Long Wu Army were thinking when they asked to see him, he couldn't be clearer.

"Bring it to me!"

Most of the people who asked to see Li Mi were the generals and colonels of the old army of the Longwu Army, and more than a dozen people surrounded Li Mi one after another, demanding to stop the offensive and rest for half a day before attacking the city.

But how could Li Mi compromise with these people? What he relied on was the new army trained by Chen Qianli, and if these new troops obeyed their orders, they would just do it, otherwise don't blame the ruthless military law.

Without warning, Li Mi ordered the capture and death of two outrageous lieutenants. As soon as the blood was seen, the old army generals, who had just been aggressive, were immediately frightened and did not dare to speak.

The effect of deterrence was immediate, and Li Mi reprimanded again: "What are you doing here? You can't take Xingqing Palace before dawn, this is a lesson from your past!"

Pointing to the two lieutenants who fell to the ground, Li Mi's voice was fierce, and the generals who came to ask for an end to the siege dispersed in a hurry.

Li Mi knew that Gao Xianzhi had now reached the end of his crossbow, and if he didn't take down Xingqing Palace in one go, it would be a big trouble if this veteran who had been fighting for a long time came up with something different from ordinary people.

Not only that, Li Mi once boasted in front of the crown prince Li Heng that he would definitely be able to take Xingqing Palace before dawn, he didn't want to break his promise because of this, and leave a reputation of boasting in front of the prince.

Seeing that the east was already faintly white, Li Mi couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and his ears were filled with the sound of war drums, fighting, and the whimpering of horns...... He secretly sighed, there is really a big gap between the combat effectiveness and execution of the Long Wu Army and the Shenwu Army, he had seen Qin Jin's army formation order when he was in the East Palace before, and it was naturally not the same as it, but it was a pity......

Li Mi couldn't help but shake his head for a while, and at this moment, Tanma's excited and excited voice came.

"Report! The Yuelong Gate has been broken, and the army has entered the forbidden area!"
