Volume 56 Chang'an Rebellion
Chang'an, which was originally lively and prosperous, now screams sounded everywhere, and the flames continued to burn the dragon qi accumulated by Datang in the past few years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the city wall, a person looked at the flames below, constantly laughing, he looked at the Huasheng Temple in the distance, as if he found something, he immediately came to the West Gate duty room, pulled out the treasure knife, and said: "Now that the city is in chaos, we should go down to help." ”
The rest of the soldiers in the duty room looked at Xinding who came in, was stunned, and said, "What did you say, little boy?" Do you want to leave your job without permission, no one dares to go down without the order of the commander now. ”
When the new man heard the old soldier's words, he exclaimed angrily, 'Do you see what is happening down there?' That's someone maliciously setting fires, and we still don't go down to save people? So what do you want our army to do? ’
The soldiers also saw the red flames, and there were many screams from inside.
"Xinding, it's useless for us to go down, we don't have firefighting tools." Another soldier said.
Xinding pointed to the armory room and said, "Who said we don't have it, isn't there an oil drum in it?" We'll be able to put out the fire by taking it out. ”
The soldier looked at the armory room, "Little boy, you mean... ”
"No, if our superiors know that we are abusing this, we will be whipped." A soldier shook his head.
"You don't say it, I don't say it, who knows? Do you dare or not, it will only take about half an hour for us to go down to save people, and it will be good to come up immediately after saving people. The captain pointed down and said, "Moreover, we don't need all the people to go down, just leave one or two people, even if someone comes at that time, the people who stay will say that we will go on patrol." Who knows? ”
He pointed to the oil drum again and said, "This lard is not a time of war, who will check it?" It's going to be replaced soon, and we'll just take it on top when it's time to change it. ”
After a period of analysis, Xinding found that some people were moved, and he immediately said passionately: "Moreover, what are we doing when we are soldiers? Defend the country and the country, and now the people below need our protection, and you are standing here watching them burn to death? ”
"Yes, we should go down, our task is first to protect our family and defend the country, we can't even protect our home, so why are we soldiers" A soldier brother stood up and responded.
"Yes, we are soldiers to defend our families and country, not to watch people burn to death here." Someone else slapped the table in agreement.
"Yes, yes,"
At this time, a small voice came, "But, I think someone is setting fire to it below, maybe the target is us." ”
Xinding heard the man's words, and before he could say anything, the veteran said, "You are stupid, why are they beating us here?" It's not a time of war, even if they successfully transfer us away, it's useless to grab the city gate, do you want to be strangled by the army outside Chang'an City? ”
"Also right" the last person was also convinced. They immediately poured out all the lard that had been used to make boiling oil, picked up the wooden barrels, and ran towards the scene of the fire.
Xinding, who took the lead, saw that except for the people who stayed behind, the rest of the people followed, and smiled slightly in his heart, and the plan was successful.
The same thing happened in the rest of Chang'an City, where the city guards were constantly encouraged to put out the fire.
At this time, in the base camp of the city guards, Li Jing kept walking around, and he looked at the pieces of information and frowned and thought about something.
Suddenly, he stopped, as if he had made up his mind, and immediately came to the Chang'an City Defense Map, and said, "Someone." ”
The tent in the base camp was pushed open, and his adjutant entered the base camp and said, "My lord, the micro job is here." ”
Li Jing pointed to the fire points and said: "Half of the city guards immediately divided half of them to participate in extinguishing the fire, and the rest continued to stick to their posts. ”
When the adjutant heard that Li Jing was going to participate in the firefighting, he immediately persuaded him: "Don't, my lord, now the clues have shown that someone is going to make trouble at this moment, if we send someone down, then we will definitely be succeeded by the thieves." ”
Although Li Jing knew that the adjutant's words were right, he still shook his head and said: "There are some things that we know are wrong and must be done, if we don't send people to put out the fire and save people, then what will the people of Chang'an think of us?" ”
"But..."
"Don't say so much" Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, you have experienced the wind and waves, and you are still afraid of these small nights?" ”
After the adjutant stepped back, after a while, suddenly another soldier ran in.
"Report, Urgent Intelligence,"
Li Jing looked at the clothes of the soldiers who came in, and found that it was not the city guards, but the forbidden army, and was startled and asked, "What happened?" ”
The soldier said in fear: "There has been an invasion of the Imperial Palace, and a group of men and horses have attacked the Imperial Palace again, and now the situation is critical, and the city guards are needed to assist in defense." ”
"How is it possible" Li Jing said in surprise: "Could it be that the group of people is back again?" ”
At this time, Li Jing hurriedly called the adjutant in and asked, "Can the soldiers who were just sent out be called back?" ”
When the adjutant heard Li Jing's words, he was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, no, most of the soldiers have already started to put out the fire, and if you call people back now, something will happen." ”
Li Jing nodded solemnly, and he began to walk back and forth again.
The adjutant saw his movements and asked cautiously, "My lord, what happened again?" ”
Li Jing said to the soldier who was passing the message: "You tell him." ”
The soldier hurriedly repeated the cry for help, and after hearing this, the adjutant immediately shouted, "My lord, this is a trap." ”
Li Jing glared at him and said, "Don't I know, and I also know that we have to jump into this trap." ”
The adjutant saw that Li Jing was angry and hurriedly shut down.
After a while, the messenger soldier asked in fear! "My lord, what now? The palace is still waiting for you to save it. ”
When Li Jing heard the soldier's words, he suddenly said to himself, "I'll jump, I want to see what you thieves want to do." ”
He turned to the adjutant and said, "Immediately gather all the soldiers except for the firefighting, including all the soldiers on the city wall, and immediately go to the palace to rescue." ”
When the adjutant heard Li Jing's words, he said in surprise: "My lord, there will be a problem if you do this, there can't be a shortage of people on the city wall." ”
"Hmph, if someone really comes to attack Chang'an, who do you think can defend it?" Li Jing shouted: "Since I can't hold it, then why do I have to guard somewhere?" I want to see if they have the courage to attack Chang'an. ”
The adjutant thought about it, and yes, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in the four acropolis near Chang'an, and there are these people, so if there is an army of thieves to kill them, at least pass their pass first, then they can resist for at least a few days, and the existence of soldiers is of little significance.
Soon, the adjutant and the talking soldiers retreated, and when they went out, Li Jing picked up a brush and began to write something constantly.
