Ninety-one, the counterattack of Ganquan Palace

Ganquan Palace is more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, located in the mountainous area of Guanzhong, and was rebuilt by Liu Che from the Lin Guang Palace in the Qin Dynasty. There is a gallop road leading directly to Chang'an, with a beautiful environment, warm in winter and cool in summer, Liu Che likes to recuperate here. This is his second only to Chang'an Weiyang Palace important activity place, it is not only as a summer resort, but also many major political activities are arranged here, Liu Che reigned for 54 years, he came here more than 70 times.

However, this summer vacation in the second year of Zhenghe is unforgettable for Liu Che.

It is estimated that he took an overdose of the Immortal Pill, first he had a headache and fever, and then he often had nightmares, dreaming that someone was going to kill him, so he suspected that someone was cursing him, so he ordered Jiang Chong to investigate and deal with it, and he came to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer.

After Jiang Chong found the witch Gu in the Tai Palace, their Gu arrest team immediately discussed, so they decided to strike first, and sent Chang Rong, the inner servant of the team members, out of the city to report to Liu Che in Ganquan Palace overnight.

Chang Rong hurried up, ran wildly all night, and arrived at Ganquan Palace in the afternoon of the next day, and immediately ran to find Su Wen. With a little pride, Su Wen told Liu Che about Jiang Chong's digging of witch Gu in the Tai Palace, Liu Che was silent after hearing this, and just asked Su Wen if he still had the elixir of immortality, it seemed that Liu Che was addicted.

When Su Wen said that the Immortal Pill had been used up, Liu Che immediately got angry and scolded him, I don't know if Liu Che was venting, I guess he didn't expect the prince to curse him, or thought that Jiang Chong was slandering the prince, anyway, he was in a bad mood.

Su Wen was sprayed with ash, and he wanted to invite credit but was used as a punching bag, and he was very unhappy. However, when he saw Liu Che's expression, with so many years of experience in waiting for him closely, it was estimated that this time he would go back enough for the prince to drink a pot.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the embarrassed Yushi Zhang Gan ran to Su Wen in a hurry, saying that he wanted to see the emperor. It turned out that after Zhang Gan learned the news that Jiang Chong and Han Shuo had been killed, he hurriedly traveled more than 100 miles to Ganquan Palace to report the news, and Su Wen did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Zhang Gan to see Liu Che.

Liu Che had already woken up, and now he got up early in the morning, a group of close-fitting palace maids were helping to sort out the clothes, Su Wen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Yushi Zhanggan just rushed over in Chang'an, saying that there is something important to play." ”

When Liu Che heard that it was Zhang Gan, he thought that something big had happened, didn't he tell Jiang Chong and Han to check the witch Gu in the palace? Why did he come here overnight, so he ordered: "Announce him quickly." ”

As soon as Zhang Gan came in, he knelt on the ground, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the prince is the opposite." ”

Liu Che was stunned when he heard this, the prince was reversed? Did he hear it wrong, so he said loudly: "What, you say it again." ”

"Your Majesty, the prince is the opposite, he sent a doorman to pretend to be a messenger of His Majesty, and falsely passed on your will to take down Jiang Chong and immediately beheaded him, according to the Daohou insight into the holy decree, he did not dare to accept the decree and was killed by the prince's doorman Zhang Guang, I escaped by luck, and rushed over to report to you overnight."

Liu Che still couldn't believe his ears, as the saying goes, knowing a son is not as good as a father, the prince's behavior as a father Liu Che knows it well, he didn't even dare to fight with the doorman who was captured by Jiang Chong, but asked someone to give an embroidered clothes to intercede, how can he have such a big courage to rebel now, and said after calming down: "I guess you are in too much of a hurry, I heard that you dug up Gu things in the palace?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have found a lot of Gu Xiaotong trees in the Imperial Palace."

"Then I must be scared, and I hate you, so I want to kill you, and then send an envoy to Chang'an, and summon him to Ganquan Palace to see me at my will."

At this time, Su Wen next to him hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yu Shi Xiaoren is here, can you send him there?" ”

"Tell him to go and come back quickly, and be sure to bring the prince to me." Love to nibble on books

"Yes..."

So the imperial history Xiao Ren took Liu Che's talisman and immediately returned to Chang'an to summon the prince, this Xiao Ren is indeed the pronunciation of the person's name, and he is a villain, but his actions this time changed the course of history.

As the emperor's envoy, Xiao Ren rode his horse and galloped on the gallop road, and soon came to the Wei River at the foot of Chang'an. At this time, seeing two guard-looking people sneakily hiding behind a big poplar tree on the side of the road, Xiao Ren thought that they were deserters who had escaped from Chang'an City, so he ordered the guards to go over and take them down.

When I asked, I found out that they were originally guarding the Yongmen, and Liu Ju had replaced the defenders of the gates of Chang'an City with his own soldiers, and the two of them secretly escaped by taking advantage of the chaos.

After hearing the two guards tell about the situation in Chang'an City, Xiao Ren's first reaction was that the prince was really reversed, and he didn't want to go into Chang'an to see the prince, probably because he was afraid of being detained by the prince, so he turned the carriage and immediately rushed back to Ganquan Palace to report the news.

After Liu Che received Xiao Ren's report, he was immediately furious, and he couldn't imagine that the prince would dare to rebel. At this time, it happened that Prime Minister Liu Quyu's long history also went to Ganquan Palace to see Liu Che, Liu Che hurriedly summoned the prime minister's long history, and when the long history saw Liu Che, he also said with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Majesty, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, and the prince rebelled." ”

Liu Che hurriedly asked, "Where are the prime ministers going now?" Why did you come to report? ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as the prime minister heard that the prince was against him this morning, he immediately blocked the news, and he didn't dare to send troops, he was so anxious that he didn't even take the prime minister's seal, and ran out after leaving the family; I escaped from Chang'an with the prime minister, and he ordered me to take the fast horse of the post station to report to you first, and he is still behind and is rushing to see you. ”

Liu Che shook his head and sighed: "Things have developed to this point, what news is still blocked, and immediately sending troops to resist is the top priority, the prime minister really does not have the demeanor of Duke Zhou, can Duke Zhou not kill Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai?" Hurry up and send someone to pick up the prime minister on the road, and tell him to come and see me early. ”

In fact, at this time, Liu Quyu had already arrived near Ganquan Palace, but the old fox was still waiting to see what was happening, and he didn't go to Liu Che first, but first let his long history go to find out the truth, and it was estimated that he was also afraid that if Liu Che was held hostage or killed by a traitor as the prince said, then he would also have room for maneuver.

In fact, Liu Che also knew it, but at this time he also needed this old fox to work for him, so he made a holy decree and ordered officials below 2,000 stone to be under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, so as to attack the rebels in Chang'an, and requisition the county troops of the counties near Guanzhong Sanfu for his unified command. Finally, he also said that if I hunt down the rebels, I will reward and punish them clearly; You can use ox carts as cover, try not to engage with the rebels in close combat, so as not to cause too many casualties, and surround Chang'an City, and never let the rebels rush out.

To cut off the prince's rebel attack on Ganquan Palace, the most important thing is to mobilize Captain Changshui to intercept it, at this time Captain Changshui became the object of both sides, so Liu Che immediately ordered Lang Ma Tong to go to Captain Changshui with Fujie to transfer cavalry in order to block the rebels.

After everything was arranged, Liu Che immediately drove back to Chang'an. Liu Che is indeed old and spicy, and seeing that his arrangements are all in place, he wants Captain Changshui to cut off the rebels' offensive route and besiege Chang'an City with the troops of the three auxiliaries.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out, and both warring sides want to fight for the captain of Changshui in the middle, and the current situation, which side of the captain of Changshui falls, the odds of victory are high.

The crown prince Liu Yi also sent a doorman He Ruhou to take the Fu Festival to the captain of Changshui to transfer the cavalry, originally the prince's plan was very good, and the cavalry of the captain of Changshui was also right, but his mistake was that he did not have his father to react quickly. For such an important troop transfer operation, a right-hand man should be sent to transfer troops, but Liu Ju sent a doorman who was still a prisoner himself to transfer troops.

The balance of history is tilted in favor of Liu Che, whether it is a coincidence or a destiny of God. When He Ruhou went to Changshui Lieutenant to transfer troops with the prince's Fu Jie, he just arrived at the gate of the barracks and happened to meet Liu Che's envoy Ma Tong, who was also going to transfer troops. In terms of martial arts, Ma Tong was a cut above He Tong, and in this way, Ma Tong solved He Ruhou, and Chen Long, the captain of Changshui, also accepted Liu Che's transfer of troops and joined the team to attack Chang'an, under the command of Prime Minister Liu Quyu.

In this way, Liu Quyu took Sanfu and the county troops of nearby counties, plus the cavalry of Captain Changshui, and marched towards Chang'an City, and a bloody battle finally began.
