Chapter 893: The Danger Disturbs People's Hearts
"The Tibetans are besieging the city, the Tibetans are besieging the city!"
The bell of the enemy attack soon plunged Daming Palace into chaos, but the first reaction of the three Zhang sisters and brothers was that some restless people in the city were doing things again.
Empress Zhang also convened her two younger brothers for emergency deliberations at this time, and when Zhang An saw her sister, she comforted her with a relaxed look:
"Sister, don't worry, I have already arranged for Yu Chaoen to take the Shence army to martial law Chang'an City, and anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed!"
However, the sound of the alarm bell rang heartbreakingly, and it continued for a long time, which still made Queen Zhang uneasy.
"It's an eventful time now, don't blame my sister for being eventful, my right eyelid is always jumping all the time today, do you have to confirm it here?"
Zhang Qing comforted him in a timely manner:
"Zi is silent, strange and confused, these statements of chasing wind and shadows are not true. My sister's top priority is to stabilize our position, and after understanding the specific situation, we will make corresponding measures. At present, the second brother's practice of sending Yu Chaoen to martial law in Chang'an City is very appropriate!"
Zhang Qing rarely praises people, and today he really praised this second brother, Zhang An immediately felt a little fluttering, and at the same time thought that his prestige in the army was far more important than he had imagined.
"However, my retinue reported at the first time that there were indeed unknown soldiers and horses outside the city, and the exact number was ominous. I'm afraid...... The people of Qin Jin were unwilling to be deposed by the crown prince, and intended to fight back......"
This statement almost made Zhang An jump in shock.
"Is he crazy? If he openly rebels against the imperial court, isn't he afraid of the world's attacks?"
As he spoke, he looked at Empress Zhang again:
"Sister, Huainan Jiedu envoy Gao Shi has always had a lot of complaints about Qin Jin, why don't you let him be the jiedu envoy of Jiangnan West Road and Huaixi Dao, and wait for the opportunity to bite the Shenwu Army hard, see how arrogant and arrogant he is when he cares about one or the other?"
Using Gao Shi's chess piece to restrict Qin Jin was something that the three of them had discussed early on, but now they couldn't turn their faces with Qin Jin immediately, so in order not to stimulate him too much, they didn't make a big deal about Gao Shi's official promotion and expansion of the territory.
At this time, Zhang An brought it up in anger, and he just wanted to get rid of Qin Jin, a thief with a big tail, as soon as possible.
"Second brother must not be reckless, the situation is not clear at this time, how can we make a decision easily? Besides, Gao Shi's chess piece is a dark game laid by the Son of Heaven early, but it is a double-edged sword for our sisters and brothers, which can not only hurt others, but also hurt ourselves, and we must not move lightly until the last resort. ”
"Okay, don't fight, wait for the army to report, and then make plans!"
After waiting for about an hour, the military report was late, and Zhang An was angry at the inefficiency of the transmission of information in the army, and immediately beheaded the military official who gave the order.
And the military officials are also full of grievances:
"Lang Zhong ordered Rongyu, the villain was also caught in the middle of the two ends of the anger, the armies only saw the shirk of responsibility, and refused to clearly issue a military report, the villain has no way, this is to receive the military report from the private sector in the North Forbidden Garden, so he can rush over, otherwise ......"
Zhang An was furious, and without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, he kicked him in the chest, and the officer was caught off guard and immediately flew out on his back, hit the pillar, and held his breath.
"The second brother is reckless, the army shirks responsibility, what's the matter with your subordinates, don't you read the military report first?"
After being reprimanded by Empress Zhang, Zhang An woke up like a dream, and quickly slapped open the sealing mud on the seal on the military newspaper, and pulled out a piece of parchment from it, with little handwriting on it, but it shocked him and made his heart beat.
"Tibet, Tibet, 200,000 troops ......"
Before he finished speaking, the parchment in his hand was unsteady and slipped to the ground.
Zhang Qing was also puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the parchment that fell on the ground, looked at it carefully, and gasped when he boarded. The Tubo people actually led an army of 200,000 to the foot of Chang'an City, and they, the high-ranking officials and generals sitting in Chang'an, didn't know it!
"It's bad, sister, it's a foreign enemy, a Tibetan person, 200,000!"
A few words popped out of Zhang Qing's mouth, which scared Queen Zhang to the point of discoloration, she is still a woman after all, when the palace struggles, she can be ruthless and ruthless, but once it comes to foreign enemies, she can't help but expose her timid nature.
Of course, this is not entirely the reason for Empress Zhang's timidity, because there have been thieves who broke through Tongguan, and the example of poisoning the pass is in front, and now the Tubo people have passed through Longyou and reached the city of Chang'an, which inevitably reminds people of the catastrophe two years ago.
At that time, even Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army exhausted their strength to eat, and they were clumsy, and they almost couldn't protect Chang'an City. And are they capable of retreating from the enemy? If they can't defeat the Tibetans, what should they do?
"Where's the king, bring the king!"
After smelling the danger, Empress Zhang's first reaction was to take her beloved son with her. Zhang Qing was an extremely sharp-minded person, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Does my sister want to emulate the Emperor Taishang back then, Xizhen?"
At this time, Empress Zhang was already out of order, and nodded busily.
"The 200,000 Tubo people are powerful, and Chang'an has no danger to defend, I must not take the lives of the Son of Heaven and King Ding as child's play!"
Zhang Qing agreed with his sister's idea.
"Since this is the case, we must be prepared with both hands, and on the other hand, we must mobilize troops and organize resistance. On the one hand, secretly and actively arrange the affairs of the West Hunt, no, the West Hunt is afraid that it will not be done, the Tubo people come from the west, no one knows what the situation of the counties along the way is, for the sake of today, we can only go to Tongguan. ”
Empress Zhang and Zhang Qing's discussion caused Zhang An's dissatisfaction. He believed that this military newspaper was probably concocted by the private people of the North Forbidden Garden, in order to disrupt their military morale.
Speaking of the private sector in the North Forbidden Garden, it is still a remnant of the Chang'an Guard War, and after two years of Zhide, due to the gradual restoration of order in Guanzhong, a large number of private enterprises formed during the war were also abolished and reincorporated into the household registration of the local government. In Chang'an City, there was a large group of 10,000 people who had field experience in fighting against the thieves and rebels, and these people were not disbanded, but have been stationed in the wasteland south of the city. Until the mutiny a few days ago, the crown prince was deposed, and these private militiamen, who were inextricably linked to the Shenwu Army, were moved to the North Forbidden Garden outside the city.
It is precisely because of this that the private sector of the Northern Forbidden Garden also has the opportunity to directly contact the Tubo army.
However, when Zhang An expressed all his doubts and speculations, the Zhang brothers and sisters hesitated again, what if it was really a matter of private ownership? Otherwise, why didn't the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei send an exact military report?
At this time, Zhang Qingcai suggested:
"Sister, it's better to quickly recruit Yu Chaoen and Li Fuguo to the palace for questioning! Otherwise, wouldn't all speculation and planning be empty talk?"
Empress Zhang, who had no idea, agreed with her brother's suggestion and ordered someone to urgently order Yu Chaoen and Li Fuguo to return to Daming Palace.
It's just that they don't know that Yu Chaoen at this time has no time to care about the order to return to Daming Palace, because he is in the city, and he is full of black and oppressive Tubo soldiers in the distance, roaring and rumbling horses' hooves.
And Yu Chaoen is not an ordinary person, he immediately made his judgment, only with the Shence Army and the Zuowu Guard Army in Chang'an City, it is absolutely difficult to hold Chang'an City, and their only hope is probably only the Shenwu Army. However, will the Shenwu Army come to save them? He stood on the city in a daze, made no less than a dozen assumptions, and came to the same answer, Qin Jin would never come!
"General be careful!"
With a loud roar, Yu Chaoen only felt a huge force push him down, and then a sharp sound of breaking the sky crossed his head. Years of experience in battle formations had taught him that this was the sound of a crossbow firing at a rapid pace. When this thought flashed, he was already drenched in cold sweat, knowing that he had picked up a life.
"Tubo dog, shoot back to Lao Tzu!"
Although Yu Chaoen is a person who has no bottom, he is still a little bloody, and the crossbowmen on the city have three rounds of sparse salvos.
The training level of the Shence Army made Yu Chaoen feel a little blushing, he had seen the Shenwu Army's military exercises and actual combat, and he was like an arm for the generals, and the thousands of people in the army formation were still fresh in his memory. But when it came time to see the true chapter, neither the Shence Army nor Zuo Wuwei had the ability to take the position of the Shenwu Army.
"General, General, Her Royal Highness the Empress, please return to the palace quickly!"
The eunuch came to the city to give an order, and happened to see the scene of crossbow arrows shooting each other above and below the city, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he could hardly even speak.
Yu Chaoen glanced outside the city and said to the eunuch:
"The Tubo army is about to attack the city, and I really can't leave, please return to His Royal Highness, the danger is a little over, and I will return to Daming Palace to report the military situation in detail!"
In Yu Chaoen's opinion, it may be good for the three sisters and brothers of the Zhang family to play tricks, but none of them are soldiers, if they are allowed to make random arrangements, it is better to deal with them in a temporary emergency, and then think about it in the long run.
The eunuch's task has not been completed, how dare he go back to his life easily, Queen Zhang replied to the eunuch palace people have always been known for being strict, if you go back empty-handed, I am afraid that I will be whipped.
"Okay, general, if the minion goes back like this, His Highness must discount the minion's legs ......"
Yu Chaoen's defection to Zhang An was originally a self-preservation strategy, otherwise he would inevitably be liquidated as an old minister of the emperor. The confluence of the Shence Army and the Zhang sisters and brothers made up for the lack of military power in the hands of the Zhang sisters and brothers. As a result, it really has the strength to compete with the princeling party.
If everything goes smoothly, Yu Chaoen will definitely become the most effective cadre of the Zhang sisters and brothers, however, people are not as good as heaven, and the Tubo people are here......
