Chapter 366: Who Tricked You?
At the moment when the Xuanwu Gate opened, Li Shimin and his entourage also quietly came to the south tower of the Xuanwu Gate Urn City.
Jing King Li Yuanjing immediately looked at the dim urn city at the door of Xuanwu Gate, like a monster with a big mouth open, and his heart was weak for a while.
Looking back at the son of the world, Li Zedao: "For my father, I led five hundred elites into the palace, and you took the remaining five thousand soldiers to wait here." ”
Hearing this, Li Ze hurriedly said: "The son is willing to enter the palace with his father." ”
Seeing this, King Jing smiled with relief: "If God helps my father and son, five hundred elites are enough to fight for a prince of the East Palace for you." If Heaven does not help your father, you have 5,000 elites, and you can unite the Chang'an Shi clan to fight against Li Chengqian again. ”
"Li Chengqian has gone against the grain, and his father will definitely get what he wants."
It was only at this time that Li Ze felt that rebellion was not so easy.
When King Jing heard this, he stopped Li Ze and said, "Okay! Without further ado, I went to the palace for my father! ”
After that, he walked into the Xuanwu Gate with five hundred elites.
At this time, there was not a single soldier in the urn city, and only a few torches were lit on the surrounding city walls, and the entire urn city was very dark.
King Jing thought that these were all prepared by Dou Fengjie for his convenience in and out, so he didn't care.
Li Shimin and the others stood on the south gate tower of the urn city, watching King Jing slowly walk into the urn city with the people and horses, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Zhang Shigui and Li Chengqian, who were next to him, just quietly watched King Dijing and his soldiers and horses enter Weng City.
"Why are you just so small?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask strangely as he watched King Jing walk through the center of the urn city, and there were only a few hundred people behind the center of the urn city.
The old ghost who had just run back from the Xuanwu Gate hurriedly reported to Li Chengqian that King Jing had left the prince and his team outside the city.
King Jing walked to the south of the urn city with his soldiers, and when he saw that the gate leading to the harem of Taiji Palace had not yet been opened, his heart couldn't help but tighten, but he said in a dissatisfied tone: "Why hasn't this king opened the door when he arrives?"
As soon as King Jing finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wheel turning behind him, and turned around in surprise to see that the suspension bridge had been re-hoisted.
King Jing said that his heart was not good, so he heard Zhang Shigui on the city tower ask lightly: "Who led the troops into the palace late at night?"
King Jing couldn't hear Zhang Shigui's voice outside for many years, so he replied with the words of Dou Fengjie: "This king secretly enters the palace at the behest of His Majesty to discuss important matters, and quickly open the door to this king!" ”
Li Shimin scolded "idiot" in a low voice, and then asked lightly: "Why don't I remember that I gave you a will?"
"Ahh Your Majesty! ”
As soon as King Jing heard Li Shimin's voice, he almost fell off his horse.
Li Yuanjing couldn't hear other people's voices, but Li Shimin's voice was already imprinted in his bones.
Seeing that he scared King Jing so much that he couldn't even say a word, Li Shimin was very satisfied, and said with a faint pride on his face: "It's I waiting for you here!" ”
"Your Majesty"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Zhang Shigui hurriedly said loudly.
As he spoke, he took the lead in kneeling down on one knee and saluting Li Shimin.
When the soldiers around the city heard this, they seemed to have received a signal, and they lit torches one after another, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will see Your Majesty!" ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin raised his hands and said, "The soldiers are flat!" ”
Seeing this, King Jing only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he stayed on the spot.
Seeing this, the adjutant general next to him hurriedly said loudly: "It's a plan, retreat!" ”
Then the rebels turned around and were about to go back.
"Back off?"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Wang Fangyi's explosives were prepared for the last use, although the rebels who followed King Jing were traitors, they could also be sent to the frontier to open up wasteland, sent to be coolies or even go to sea with Li Ke, and it was not economical to use gunpowder directly.
A rain of arrows shot down dozens of people, and the rebels in the urn city no longer dared to act rashly.
And Li Ze, the prince of King Jing outside the city, also found out that something was wrong in the city, and hurriedly ordered: "Attack the city!" ”
But they only carried some simple weapons, and they didn't have siege equipment at all, and they couldn't help such a majestic pass as Xuanwumen for a while.
Li Chengqian looked at the stunned King Jing on the south gate of the urn city, and asked lightly: "Uncle King Jing, don't you see Your Majesty and don't you give a great courtesy?"
This sentence is not sarcastic, but it is a real irony in Jing Wang's ears.
Before entering the door, he was still thinking about how he would treat Li Shimin's father and son as emperors, but now he was forced to perform the great courtesy of the monarch and ministers.
After a while, I only heard King Jing laugh loudly.
"Hahaha......"
All the sergeants above and below the city looked at him in bewilderment.
I saw that King Jing smiled and pointed at the city tower with a horsewhip, so he said calmly: "Li Chengqian, you imprisoned Your Majesty, and now you are actually looking for someone to pretend to be Your Majesty, your crime is unforgivable." ”
The people on the city tower couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, and they couldn't believe that King Jing had lost his mind and was crazy enough to slander Li Chengqian and imprison him in front of Li Shimin.
"Presumptuous!" Li Daozong couldn't help but shout.
King Jing also ignored the people in the city, and continued to reverse black and white: "Listen to the soldiers in the city, this king is Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, the brother of His Majesty today. This king came to rescue His Majesty by His Majesty's secret order, and now Li Chengqian is looking for someone to pretend to be His Majesty, if anyone can capture Li Chengqian and be knighted as the founding duke. ”
The soldiers in the city had just been led by the main general to pay homage, and Li Shimin naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense.
The soldiers under the city know that they are dying, and it doesn't matter if they believe it or not.
Seeing that no one responded to him, King Jing couldn't help but laugh wildly again.
laughed to the end and said with tears in his eyes: "Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, you are so vicious!" Let people trick this king into Chang'an, and watch this king plot to rebel, just wait for today to destroy this king's lineage, right?"
As soon as King Jing said this, several people on the city tower couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian.
Even Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not Zheng Zhuanggong!" ”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhuang allowed his younger brother Duan to seize the throne, and finally drove his younger brother out of Zheng State. The gentleman accused him of hypocrisy by not educating his younger brother Duan in advance.
Li Shimin said this to show that he did not know about it.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, looked at King Jing under the city and said, "You yourself hooked up with the Chang'an Shi clan, plotted to rebel, and actually bit back?"
You are now dead and the annihilation is just around the corner, you shouldn't think about it, who else can persuade you except your ambition?
Don't say that you lost, even if you win and ascend to the throne tomorrow, you are just a puppet in the hands of the scholars, will you be the opponent of those scholars?
A fool like you who is inferior to a pig and a dog is of no use except to harm the world, is the Lone King using you to calculate?"
"Cheng Qian!"
Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian scolding his uncle so bitterly, and couldn't help but shout.
"Li Chengqian, you insulted me too much, this king will fight with you today!"
As he spoke, he took the lead in beating his horse forward, and rushed towards the city gate like crazy, and dozens of diehards behind him also followed him to beat his horse forward.
Li Chengqian ordered without hesitation: "Release the arrow!" Life or death! ”
That's a nirvana.
Li Shimin's eyes widened in shock when he heard this, and he was about to speak when he saw Wang Fangyi holding a big bow and an arrow hitting King Jing's face, and King Jing's arrow fell off his horse in response.
Immediately after the sound of bowstrings, dozens of rebels who rushed forward with King Jing also fell.
There were still more than 300 rebels left in the urn city, and they stood in the middle at a loss.
"Are you going to die with King Jing, or are you going to lay down your weapons and wait for King Lone's fate?" Li Chengqian looked at them and said lightly.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, and said to the rebels below: "I Nian'er and the others are also coerced by King Jing, and there is still remorse at the last moment, if you surrender now, you can be exempted from the death penalty." ”
"Your Majesty has spared you from capital crimes, are you still going to resist to death?"
Zhang Shigui was afraid that someone would make an unwise move without understanding and causing Li Chengqian to start a killing spree, so he hurriedly added.
When the soldiers below heard the "suddenly" sound, they all put down their weapons and fell to the ground.
"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty for not killing"
……
……
Li Chengqian looked at these people kneeling down and nodded lightly, knowing that King Jing's rebellion against him this time was a victory.
"Your Majesty, Li Ze led his troops to attack the palace gate outside!" Dou Zuojie walked over quickly and saluted Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's senses for him are very complicated now, and he turned his head to ignore him, and Dou Fengjie was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
When Li Chengqian saw it, he ordered: "Wang Fangyi assists General Dou to guard the palace gate. ”
"Obey."
The gunpowder prepared by Wang Fangyi today was not used because Li Shimin personally appeared in the city, so it happened to be used this time.
Wen Ling hurriedly instructed the soldiers to push all the trebuchets close to the Xuanwu Gate to the city wall on the side of the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Chengqian looked back and saw Li Shimin's tired and indifferent face, so he said to him: "The culprit is dead, my father should go back to the Ganlu Hall to rest!" ”
"Humph!" Li Shimin twisted his head to the side.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with his direct order to shoot King Jing, so he kept silent and just watched the battle ahead.
"Boom ......"
As soon as Wang Fangyi's catapult was set up, he immediately threw explosives bags at the rebels under the city, and dozens of bags of explosives were thrown in a row, and Li Ze hurriedly led the rebels to flee.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Ze led the defection and fled, please lead the army out of the palace to chase." Wang Fangyi came to report.
Li Shimin was about to agree, but he heard Li Chengqian say directly: "No, the Lone King has already laid a net, and they can't jump out." ”
Li Shimin and the generals didn't understand and were about to ask, but they saw Li Chengqian pointing to a few big orange stars floating in the southern sky and said, "Father, please look, the Flying Eagle Army of the Lone King has arrived."
"That's?"
Li Shimin's eyes were frightened, and he watched with his mouth half-open as the hot air balloons in the sky converged in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.
