Although Li Mi was only a scribe, and he was only a mere edict in the imperial court, he knew everything about the defense of Guanzhong, Longyou, Shuofang and other places. The Shence Army is a newly established military town after Ge Shuhan defeated Tubo last year, the soldiers and horses are like Xuan, and the deputy envoy Wei Boyu are all the old subordinates of Shangshu Zuo Servant Shoot Ge Shuhan, even if these people are coming by the edict of the Son of Heaven, as long as Ge Shuhan has an order, he must always weigh one or two.

In the final analysis, it is still the thorough mastery of the inside and outside of Chang'an that is the key to the defeat of this army.

For this reason, Li Mi decided to make a desperate bet and pulled all the guards who had just been recruited for less than three days outside the gate of the East Palace, and asked the prince to give a lecture in person to increase morale. Not only that, but in the name of the crown prince, Li Mi also opened the treasury to distribute money and goods on a large scale, supplemented by the promise of promotion, and for a time the momentum in the army was as steep as a rainbow.

Li Mi was very satisfied with this, and said that people die for money, and birds die for food, which is really true.

After the crown prince Li Heng finished what he had to do, he did not return to Yanzhengmen, but stayed in the East Palace. Instead of waiting for the result in the back with trepidation, it is better to stay here and supervise the battle yourself. He took Li Mi's hand in a serious voice, "Please leave everything to Mr."

Li Mi suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, so he nodded heavily.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will die!"

Li Heng didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Li Mi did not rush to attack overnight, but after everything was ready, he beat the drums of war in the early morning. According to his judgment, the Shenwu army was less than 3,000 people, and it was obviously overstretched to defend the Taiji Palace of Nuoda, so at the beginning of the siege, the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to feint Fengtianmen, and all the way to attack Changlemen.

No matter which palace gate the Shenwu Army puts into the main defense, it will inevitably be difficult to take care of both the end and the end.

In fact, as Li Mi expected, as soon as the battle of Fengtianmen began, the resistance of the Shenwu army was not very fierce, and it was even easy to climb the palace wall. Compared with the battle of Xingqing Palace, the intensity is even lower.

Li Mi analyzed that the Shenwu Army should have reached the point of being at the end of the crossbow, otherwise it would not be like this. But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, Qin Jin was a tricky person, if he was a little careless and fell into the trick, the gains outweighed the losses.

In the plan, there was a sequence of attacking Fengtianmen and Changlemen, with the army first attacking Fengtianmen, which was the target of the feint, and then attacking Changlemen after the Shenwu Army's deployment and mobilization of Fengtianmen was completed. The next step is to make a decision depending on how the battle develops.

If the situation allows, a feint can also become a strong attack, and a strong attack can also become a feint.

The key lies in the response methods and combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army.

But no matter what, Li Mi is ready for a vicious battle. After all, there are lessons from the past of Xingqing Palace, and I believe that the battle of Taiji Palace is also comparable.

Half an hour later, Li Mi ordered a fierce attack on Changle Gate, unexpectedly only half an hour later, there was good news, Changle Gate was actually a force down, the sergeants climbed the palace wall, in one fell swoop defeated the Shenwu army guarding the palace gate, captured Changle Gate, and opened the palace gate from the inside.

Li Mi was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect to break through the palace gate of Taiji Palace so easily, and there was a sense of loss in his heart that he punched out, but he missed it, and Qin Jin's Shenwu army was actually vulnerable.

But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and ordered all the troops to enter the Taiji Palace here, and not to fight.

……

"Report! Changle Gate has been captured by the rebels!"

Qin Jin was located inside the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, and after he learned the news, his expression did not change, but he turned his gaze to Zheng Xianli on his side.

"Brother Zheng, are you afraid?"

Zheng Xianli's expression seemed to have heard a very funny joke.

"Zheng has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has long put life and death aside, and now I hope that Zhonglang will be able to eradicate the traitors and help Sheji!"

Qin Jin sighed, at this moment, although he also thought that the "Tang Sheji" must be supported, what it contained was very different from the original intention.

Tonight's battle is the most adventurous.

"Zheng still has something unclear, with the strength of the Shenwu Army, it may not be impossible to fight, why should General Zhonglang take such a risk?"

"This is not an adventure, every life of the Shenwu Army is not worth losing here......"

After hearing this, Zheng Xianli couldn't help but be shocked, he never imagined that in Qin Jin's eyes, these one hundred and ten hundred-year-old palaces could not compare to the lives of a few forbidden soldiers!

"Go ahead, once the fish are in, don't hesitate for a moment!"

Xuanwu Gate outside belongs to the West Inner Garden, here is not a desolate appearance when the Tang Dynasty just established the country, outside the palace gate is also the palace building of the eaves and arches, here as the Taiji Palace and the Daming Palace attached to the place, occasionally become the emperor's leisure place.

To the north of the West Inner Garden is a lush mulberry forest, and further north of the mulberry forest is the soup soup Weishui flowing from west to east.

On the side of the mulberry forest, about 2,000 men and horses in armor are neatly parked here.

The person headed by the centaurs is Pei Jing, who has just been promoted to a general by the Son of Heaven, and his official character is also a five-level jump. Such a sudden leap of promotion, if it had been in peace, would have made him unable to sleep with excitement, and now instead of half joy, he was like sitting on pins and needles, anxious, and constantly raised his eyes to look at the southern sky.

Suddenly, he saw a puff of black smoke rising up, and his heart rose to his throat again. He knew that Qin Jin's plan was already being implemented.

"General Pei is worried?"

An old voice came from behind itself, it was the Son of Heaven.

Pei Jing came back to his senses and replied, "The minister is indeed worried. ”

"It's a pity, isn't it?" asked Li Longji again.

"The hundred-year-old palace was burned down in one fell swoop, doesn't the saint feel a pity?"

Pei Jing really couldn't understand that Li Longji didn't change his face when he talked about this matter, as if it was someone else's house that was burned at the moment, and it had nothing to do with him.

Li Longji smiled.

"The palace pavilions are just some earth, wood and masonry, so what's the pity?"

Pei Jing suddenly woke up, why did the Son of Heaven say such gossip to himself today? Thinking of the lesson that trouble comes from his mouth and that if he says too much, he will lose, he immediately closed his mouth and stopped saying a word of nonsense.

However, Pei Jing still didn't understand a little. Qin Jin once suggested that the Son of Heaven should go west under his escort to join the Shence army that had rushed to King Qin, but the Son of Heaven resolutely disagreed, saying that the soldiers were fighting, how could he escape alone? In the end, he only agreed to withdraw to the side of the mulberry forest north of the West Inner Garden for the time being.

……

Tens of thousands of Long Wu troops and newly recruited guards rushed into the Taiji Palace, and the fire broke out from nowhere, and by the time the vast majority of people realized the problem, it was already too late.

No matter how big the fire is, it is limited to the palace pavilion after all, the palace is wide and there are many open spaces, and the two groups of people who rushed into the palace did not feel that the palace fire was a threat to them at first, after all, the fire could not burn into the open space where there was nothing. But these people ignore another fatal aspect of the fire.

Billowing smoke then spread in all directions, and soon filled the sky above most of the Taiji Palace.

The smoke choked people and made them unable to breathe, and it filled the air and obscured their vision, making it impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. As a result, although all the gates of the Taiji Palace were not blocked, the people and horses who went deep into the palace were still spinning around like headless flies. After a long time, people kept falling unconscious.

The "misfire" that was not taken seriously finally burned into a raging trend in an hour after Changle Gate was breached. Unless there is a rain from the sky at this time, even Da Luo Jin Immortal will be difficult to extinguish.

By the time Li Mi realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

At the beginning of the storming of Taiji Palace, in order to stimulate the morale of the army, Li Mi promised that once the palace was broken, they would be allowed to loot until tonight. Therefore, after the Changle Gate was broken, in just half an hour, more than 10,000 people rushed in, or even more. At that time, even if Li Yu ordered to stop, he couldn't stop it.

At first, Li Mi only thought that this was just a war and fire, but at this moment, he looked at the fire that burned half of the sky, but suddenly realized. If nothing else, this must be Qin Jin's masterpiece.

It's just that Li Mi still has doubts, what is Qin Jin's reason for doing this, burning the Taiji Palace, who will bear this responsibility in the future?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mi suddenly changed color. Secretly sighed in his heart Qin Jin's ruthlessness and determination, is he so sure that he will definitely win?

A fire not only did not burn Li Mi's confidence, but only aroused his fighting spirit even more. As long as he is still alive, he can't let this Zhongshan wolf get his will. The Son of Heaven cooperated with him, although he had no choice but to do so, but he was seeking skin with the tiger, both public and private, and he could not let the situation get out of control.

“…… Take my general to Yanzheng Gate, transfer 10,000 new and old troops, and quickly go to Xineiyuan!"

Since Qin Jin dared to set fire to the Taiji Palace, then the people of the Shenwu Army must have withdrawn to the north of the Xuanwu Gate, and he happened to mobilize troops to exterminate them.

……

Since Du Qianyun left, Chen Xuanli was restless, wandering in his heart, not knowing how to decide. In recent days, his reputation has been ruined long ago after repeated repetitions, and if he is not completely sure at this time, he will not repeat rashly.

The ears and eyes of the cronies suddenly roared and rushed into the tent.

"General, what the Zhuzi surnamed Du said is true, the Zhaozhou Shence Army has indeed raised troops into the Guanzhong, and now it is less than twenty miles away from Chang'an!"

Chen Xuanli's brows jumped suddenly.

"Is the news true?"

"What the last general's subordinates saw with their own eyes is absolutely true!"

"Can you see the flag clearly?"

"The leader of the troops is Wei Boyu, the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses!"

Wei Boyu is the old department of Ge Shuhan, Chen Xuanli knows it, and he knows that this matter is eighty percent true.

"Retire from the idle people, follow me to see Chen Qianli!"

"Why did the general go to see that vertical man who eats inside and out?"

Chen Xuanli smiled bitterly.

"Without him, just to keep it complete!"

For some reason, despite Chen Qianli's betrayal of him, Chen Xuanli still didn't feel evil to this person.

In his opinion, Chen Qianli's betrayal of him and his betrayal of Qin Jin have "reasons", as long as the "reasons" are enough, this person will inevitably ...... again
