Leading troops without an order is a great crime in any dynasty that is enough to destroy the family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Military power" is too sensitive, the emperor loves and fears it, and it can be used to level the world, but if you are not careful, it will backfire and harm yourself, which can be described as a double-edged sword, so since the change of the Xuanwu Gate in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin took himself as a negative teaching material, and was very sensitive to the serious loopholes in the military system of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

Therefore, since the first year of Zhenguan, the military system of the Tang Dynasty has carried out major reforms again and again, and the reform is mainly aimed at the generals who lead the army, especially the senior generals who are quite prestigious in the army, and respond to all the calls, the twelve guards of the north of Chang'an City, and the general of each guard has since become a virtual title, when there is no war in the world, what the general has to do is to train the troops in the battalion, deal with the internal affairs of the army, and ...... Dozing off at the court meeting, if any general took the wrong medicine and wanted to take the soldiers out of the camp for a picnic or spring outing, what was waiting for him would be the head of the land, without discussion. If you want to mobilize soldiers and horses to join the war, you must first have the emperor's will, and secondly, you must have the order of Shangshu Province, and you must also have the fish charm of the military department.

In front of the main gate of the East Palace tonight, the newly appointed Zuo Leader and Right Lang General Chang Yingwang led more than 2,000 soldiers to appear in front of the East Palace without warning, but the soldiers on duty in the East Palace did not hear any news of the transfer of troops and horses in advance.

That's weird.

Huo Chang's eyes narrowed, even if the other party was a general countless levels higher than him, Huo Chang stood in front of Chang Yingwang fearlessly, looking directly at him, pressing his right hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist without a trace, and staring at Chang Yingwang's face with wary eyes.

"General Chang led thousands of soldiers and horses to appear in front of the East Palace gate late at night for no reason, and the last general dared to ask, I don't know if the general has a fish talisman or His Majesty's will?"

Chang Yingwang's knife-like stiff cheeks pulled slightly, and he didn't look at him with his eyes, and said coldly: "Are you doubting the general?" ”

"The last general is in his position, so he has to ask." The fire chief did not back down.

Chang Yingwang said: "This general has just received His Majesty's order, and there are thieves in the city tonight, so I will be ordered to transfer troops and send additional troops to the East Palace to protect His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The fire chief hung his head and said, "The general forgives the sin, the last general still wants to see the will, or the military department to send an order." ”

Chang Yingwang pulled out a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, reached out into his arms, but said: "Of course there is a will, dare to transfer troops without an edict, do you think this general has a few heads?" The lights are too dim here, so come over here and take a closer look. ”

After all, Huo Chang is still inexperienced, he doesn't know the sinister way of the world, and he probably didn't expect that someone would dare to rebel, and when he heard that Chang Yingwang had an order, most of the doubts in his heart were put down, and he involuntarily leaned over.

Chang Yingwang didn't disappoint him, and sure enough, he took out something from his arms, but it was not a holy decree or an order, but a dagger half a foot long, and between the lightning and flint, the dagger stabbed into Huo Chang's chest silently, and then quickly pulled it out, a cold light flashed in the night, and the snowy blade slashed through Huo Chang's neck again......

Huo Chang's eyes widened, he looked at Chang Yingwang in disbelief, covering his neck with both hands, as if he wanted to let the blood spurt out flow more slowly, so that his life could be saved a little more, his mouth was wide open, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout, he could only hear the strange sound of Titicaca in his throat, like a ghost in the middle of the night, which was extremely terrifying.

"I don't know if I am still satisfied with this will?" Chang Yingwang smiled and whispered in his ear.

The fire chief was speechless, all the strength in his body had been spurted with the blood from the neck wound, all of which had been gone, and when his body fell to the ground softly, he often looked at two generals who rushed out like lightning behind him, one left and one right, and put Huo Chang's arms on the other.

Chang Yingwang no longer looked at the angry fire chief, turned to the soldiers in front of the East Palace and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city, and I will lead the troops into the East Palace to protect His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

In front of the gate of the East Palace, the soldiers who were patrolling the night looked at each other blankly, and looked blankly at the fire chief who was standing in a strange posture, but they could only see his back, and when they hesitated, they often looked at the more than 2,000 soldiers who led the guards behind them.

When passing by with the soldiers on duty in the East Palace, the left guard suddenly burst into trouble, a few breaths, more than 100 soldiers on duty have been slaughtered, the rest of the soldiers were stunned, they couldn't help but be shocked, they drew their knives and rushed forward, but tonight with a mental calculation or not, one side was caught off guard, the other side was prepared, and the number of people was very different, even a few warning shouts were covered by the pouring rain, less than a stick of incense, all the soldiers on duty were all killed in battle, none of them survived.

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, Chang Yingwang's expression was cold and hard, and he said lightly: "Clean it up immediately, there is not a trace of blood on the ground, replace it with our own people to guard the gate, send someone to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, the East Palace is already under control." ”

*************************************************************************

Late at night, Taiping Village.

In accordance with Li Chengqian's instructions, Li Anyan sent 100 soldiers of Zuotunwei to Taiping Village.

Everyone knows that this is a very immature move, and at a crucial moment, the prince is still thinking about his past personal vendettas, and choosing this time to take bloody revenge, and this revenge will not be of any political or military help to the coming great changes, it is purely to vent the hatred that the prince has suppressed for a long time.

They all felt that it was out of place, but no one dared to object, because it was the prince's order.

Whether you are wise or stupid, you must follow the boss with tears in your eyes, and your orders must be carried out to the letter.

Li Anyan was very face-saving, not only sent a team of 100 people to help the prince avenge him, but also led the troops by a school captain.

Galloping nearly 100 miles from the Zuotunwei camp late at night, he finally arrived at Taiping Village.

The villagers had already fallen asleep, and before they entered the village, they dismounted, slowed down their pace, and ran towards Li Su's house without a sound.

The heavy rain poured down, the rapid raindrops hit people can't open their eyes, everyone stepped on the muddy country road, one foot high and one foot low walked to the door of Li Su's house with difficulty, but saw that the gate was closed, the lights were extinguished, the captain who led the troops showed his eyes, waved his hand fiercely, and the team of 100 people behind him kicked open the gate of Li's house, pouring in like locusts.

Soon, the lieutenant got the bad news.

Not only is there no one in the front and back yards of the Li family, not even a dog guarding the door can be seen, every room is pitch black, standing in the middle of the yard, there is not even a trace of human smell in the surrounding area, living like a murderous house that has been haunted for many years.

A hint of panic flashed in the captain's eyes.

actually pounced, obviously not a good sign, Li Su must have transferred his family in advance, otherwise it is impossible to not even see a person at home, if you think about it deeply, does Li Su's early transfer of family members mean...... He already knew about the prince's plan of rebellion? At this time, the prince in Chang'an City is afraid that he is ready to send an arrow, and he has to send it, but he has not moved and lost the secret, if the news of the prince's rebellion has leaked out, is there a big net waiting for the prince in Chang'an City? That's a big deal!

The captain's face changed several times, and he didn't want to think about it, so he grabbed a government soldier and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, hurry up and go to Yanxingmen, tell General Li that the matter has been leaked, and you can't do anything, go quickly!" ”

The government soldiers staggered away.

The generals were also anxious, and they all came to the captain's side and said, "What should we do?" Are you still rushing to Chang'an City? ”

The captain hesitated for a while and said, "Do you remember what the military order we received was?" ”

"Slaughter all Li Sumanmen."

The captain said coldly: "The military order is not completed, who dares to go back to Chang'an City to eat General Li's military law?" What's more, the big thing has been leaked, and the hope of His Royal Highness the Prince's success is getting slimmer and slimmer, I'm afraid that we will end up in defeat after all, let's rush back to Chang'an to participate in this matter, we will inevitably be cut off as a rebel, don't you all want to live? ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "We can't advance or retreat, what should we do?" ”

The lieutenant pondered for a moment, and sneered: "Let's continue to complete the military order, first find Li Su's family, and then kill them all, if the prince fails, at least we have not personally participated in the chaos in Chang'an City, even if we are guilty, we will not lose our heads, at most it will be the result of exile, if the prince succeeds, we will offer the heads of Li Su's family to ask for credit, so, wouldn't it be both?" ”

Everyone thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was wonderful, so they all agreed.

"But...... Li Su's family has been transferred, who knows where they are hiding? ”

"A group of people, old and young, masters and servants, family belongings and softness, how far can they run? Traveling all the way, it is impossible for no one to see their whereabouts, let's find a few villagers in four directions to come out for interrogation, I don't believe that no one has seen their traces! ”

…………

In the same late night, in the east of Chang'an City, Wang Zhi's residence.

The guests have dispersed, and the banquet has been held for ten days, and Wang Zhi's small courtyard is already a mess, and it is obvious that the quality of the guests who come to the door is not very high, not to mention eating and drinking in vain, making the master's courtyard as if a group of thieves have just arrived.

Wang Zhi doesn't mind, the nickname of "Xiao Mengwei" mixed up in recent years is not called in vain, since Li Su asked him to develop Chang'an forces, Wang Zhi has lived this kind of life every day calling friends to eat and drink, for him, revolution is to invite guests to dinner.

There is also a small gazebo behind the courtyard.

Li Su sat in the pavilion, while enjoying the rain outside the pavilion beating the plantains, while pouring and drinking alone, quite elegant.

After a long time, Wang Zhi finished taking care of the things in the front yard, walked into the pavilion unhurriedly, poured himself a full glass of wine, and then drank it all.

"Will the prince really launch tonight?" Wang Zhi asked with some uneasiness.

Li Su's face was calm, and he took a sip of the cup: "If nothing else, the prince should have already launched, didn't you find that today is an auspicious day for the zodiac?" Particularly suitable for rebellion...... and burial. (To be continued.) )
