Chapter 142: Retribution is coming, this is fate

Zhang Daozong did not come up with a holy decree, the so-called edict of the son of heaven is not tenable at all, and he did not directly say who the "thief" of the thief is.

But no one asked.

Compared with these big-headed soldiers, especially Zuo Tunwei, who basically acts as a mascot, they usually have no chance to fight, and can only take those dead soldiers' salaries.

500 guan, equivalent to more than 2 million yuan in later generations. In the face of such a huge sum of money, the brains of ordinary big-headed soldiers have long since stopped obeying the call, that is, one hundred guan in their hands, which is equivalent to more than 400,000, which is also their life money.

Zhang Daozong, who was riding on a horse, raised his hand and said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven will punish the thief!" ”

All the soldiers shouted together: "Punish the thief, punish the thief!" ”

Zhang Daozong rode his horse and rushed in the direction of Hong Lim Gate.

The movement of 1,500 people and horses was not small, and Zhang Daozong, who was walking at the front of the team, became more and more puzzled, it is said that they will definitely be tempted by the guards. Although Wei Chigong led the left guard army to leave Chang'an City and went to Lingzhou to quell the rebellion of the Tiele people, but Taiji Palace still has the right guard, as well as the left and right prison guards, and the strength of the entire Taiji Palace is still not less than 20,000 horses, not to mention defending the entire Taiji Palace, even if it is enough to guard the entire Chang'an City.

Along the tall and majestic palace wall towards the Hong Lim Gate, the closer to the Hong Lim Gate, the more uneasy Zhang Daozong became.

As a general who became a lieutenant general of Zuotun Wei Yi from a small name, he is very familiar with the rules of the army, and he also knows the combat effectiveness and vigilance of the left and right Wuhou Wei, so it can be said that he has long been ready to fight.

The left and right Wuhou Wei stationed a Xun Mansion in Fanglin Gate, and there are usually two regiments of more than 600 men and horses responsible for guarding, relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands, it is not impossible to kill the past, but it will definitely go through a bloody battle.

However, now the city gate five hundred paces away is not to mention the human figure, not even the ghost shadow can be seen.

Due to the proximity of Chang'an Taiji Palace to the northern city, you can reach the palace as long as you pass through the Hong Lim Gate.

Yeting Palace is an ancient palace building, which is a part of the Taiji Palace, where the palace maids live and the families of criminal bureaucrats and women are assigned to work in the palace. It is roughly divided into three areas, the central part is the residence area of the palace maids, which also includes the places where the families of criminal bureaucrats and women are assigned to work in the palace. The north of the palace is Taicang, and the southwest is the seat of the province of internal servants. The Ministry of Internal Service is a eunuch institution, the so-called "internal service, proclamation order", in charge of all major and minor affairs in the palace.

Although there is no army in the palace now, there are quite a few palace ladies and eunuchs, and a few have tens of thousands. But did they sleep and die en masse?

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Daozong did not hesitate, so he had to move forward.

……

China is an agrarian society, with agriculture as the mainstay. In addition to the city, it is surrounded by natural villages formed by clans, or mainly villages. More than seventy percent of the land on the Guanzhong Plain is in the hands of the Shi clan gate lords, who are not like the Shu people, who form villages in clan units, but are scattered in the form of manors.

As early as nightfall, more than 300 large and small courtyards scattered around Chang'an slowly moved. As the torches were lit, the stewards of the various villages called out the private soldiers disguised as tenants, and then without saying a word, they directly issued blades and armor.

The private soldiers did not question or refute the steward's order.

After all, the private soldiers of the clan gate lords are all dependent on the gate valves to survive, and the private soldiers of the clan gate lords of this era are actually of the same nature as the family soldiers of the generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, their equipment is better than the regular soldiers of the imperial court, and the treatment is better.

These private soldiers know very well who gives them food and clothing, and they naturally obey the orders of their families, not to mention breaking the law, even if they rebel, they do not have any psychological burden. They only have a family in their hearts, no court, and no country.

As the private soldiers of the villages were organized, they silently wore armor and held blades according to the establishment, and followed the generals of the private soldiers, slowly advancing towards Chang'an City.

In the middle of the night, the 100,000 private troops united by the clan gate lords had approached the Fanglin Gate in the north gate of Chang'an City.

Zheng Rentai was dressed in armor, standing outside, 100,000 horses, all of them bent down in the dark, and could only open the city gate inside.

Once the city gate is opened, he can enter Chang'an City along the Fanglin Gate, and then quickly enter the Yeting Palace, the key is next door to the Yeting Palace, that is, Da'an Palace, this Da'an Palace was originally Hongyi Palace, was built in Wude five years, located in the west outside the Taiji Palace, the palace room is relatively small, but there are beautiful scenery of mountains and forests. Li Yuan was originally built for Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

At that time, because of Liu Shishan's rebellion in Hebei and the erosion of 39 prefectures in Hebei, Li Yuan unexpectedly learned that Li Shimin had disgraceful behavior in Hebei, although he ordered Hou Junji to inquire about the news, Hou Junji concealed it for Li Shimin, but, as the Son of Heaven, Li Yuan analyzed from the perspective of interests, Hebei was in turmoil at that time, and he was more in line with Li Shimin's interests. Therefore, the purpose of building this palace was to detain Li Shimin nearby.

It's a pity that in the original historical time and space, Li Shimin succeeded, but instead locked Li Yuan in Da'an Palace and lived for the rest of his life. In this time and space, after Li Jiancheng defeated the Eastern Turks, he sat firmly in the world, and Li Yuan voluntarily moved to Da'an Palace to vacate Taiji Palace for Li Jiancheng.

As long as you enter the Da'an Palace and control Li Yuan in your hands, the matter will be half done.

Seeing that the agreed time was getting closer and closer, Zheng Rentai was also secretly anxious in his heart.

……

In the Xianchi Palace, which is separated from the Yeting Palace by a wall, Li Jiancheng is obviously a little absent-minded.

Li Jiancheng played against Wei Zheng, and according to Wei Zheng's chess strength, Li Jiancheng was not an opponent at all. Usually let Li Jiancheng have three sons, and Li Jiancheng can't win. At this time, Li Jiancheng was not in a state, and he was even more unbearable.

watched Li Jiancheng lose embarrassed.

Chen Ying said with a relaxed face: "Your Majesty, the minister and Zheng Guogong will play a game!" ”

Wei Zheng's face suddenly turned red, and he said with a straight face: "No......"

Chen Ying touched his nose and looked innocent.

As the saying goes, people are like their own chess, Chen Ying plays chess and sets up a mold with him on the march, only talking about victory and defeat regardless of the process. He likes to bury mines for his opponents, and he also likes to watch his opponents, and when he has a chance to win, he is killed and defeated.

Li Jiancheng got up and looked in the northwest direction: "It's time!" ”

Chen Ying smiled: "Calculate the time, it's time to start!" ”

With Chen Ying's sentence begins.

The originally silent Hong Lin Gate suddenly seemed to come to life.

With a sound that made people's teeth sour, a dense crowd of Tang Army soldiers appeared on the originally empty city wall in an instant. A powerful crossbow had already been opened, and the frighteningly sharp arrow had already been embedded in the arrow slot, pointing straight at the Zuotun Weiyi Mansion under the city.

A cold bloodthirsty aura swept through the city, shocking the entire Yi Mansion and the entire mansion changed their faces. The most terrifying thing was that they heard the sonorous sound of armor, the ground shook slightly, and thousands of heavily armed Modao Army infantry rushed out of the city gate like a group of tanks, carrying thousands of Modao knives on their shoulders.

With just one order, it will be cut down mercilessly, leaving Yi Yifu dead and injured everywhere!

Strong crossbows are around, and the armor is magnificent, murderous, facing such battles.

Zhang Daozong couldn't help but have his liver and gallbladder split, and he almost didn't pee.

Zhang Daozong's voice trembled slightly: "General Wei Chi"

Wei Chi Jingde, who was standing at the city gate, sneered: "Zhang Daozong, I tied myself up!" ”

The soldiers frowned.

Seeing Wei Chigong on the city wall, Zhang Daozong knew that it was over. Wei Chigong, who obviously went to Lingzhou to quell the rebellion, why did he appear on the city wall? However, there is no way back for him now.

Wei Chigong yelled: "Zhang Daozong wants to rebel,!" All the soldiers stood still! Violators will be punished as thieves! ”

Zhang Daozong sighed in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, so he straightened up directly and shouted angrily: "All the soldiers, kill with me!" ”

Zhang Daozong was not afraid of death, he knew that as long as he fought with Wei Chi Gong inside the city wall, the family private soldiers outside the city would definitely find out that this was a conspiracy, and they could withdraw as soon as possible.

If it weren't for Wei Chigong, under the encouragement of Zhang Daozong, the big guy might really follow him to open the city gate under the temptation of money.

But Wei Chigong came, and he came with the soldiers of the Modao Army, and what it represents is naturally self-evident.

Wei Chigong watched Zhang Daozong rush towards him, snatched a spear from the soldier next to him, and threw it at Zhang Daozong like a javelin.

Yu Chigong's strength was extremely strong, and the flight speed of this spear was extremely fast, and when Zhang Daozong didn't have time to avoid it, it was poured into Zhang Daozong's chest and pierced out of his back.

Zhang Daozong died of anger when he arrived, and the soldiers of Zuotun Weiyi Mansion were at a loss.

Wei Chigong shouted: "You and others will go back to the barracks under the leadership of their respective captains and brigade commanders, and until the ban is lifted, it is strictly forbidden to step out of the barracks for half a step, and the violators will be beheaded!" ”

The soldiers did not dare to say anything.

……

On the one hand, the eunuch took small steps, quickly ran into the Xianchi Palace, bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, General Wei Chi has taken down the traitor!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a big drama on the stage, please move!" ”

Wei Zhengben couldn't bear it in his heart, he was afraid that many people would die.

After all, Chen Ying is back.

Chen Ying is not Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng will be benevolent and open the net, but Chen Ying will definitely not.

Chen Ying looked at Wei Zheng's appearance and knew that he wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng not to kill.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Wei Xiangguo, not a single innocent person will die today!" ”

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "How innocent their wives and children are! ”

"Innocent?" Chen Ying pursed his lips and said: "On weekdays, they have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and now the retribution is coming, and it is also their fate!" ”

In fact, Chen Ying really didn't think about exterminating these clan gates, after all, they were the inheritors of Chinese civilization.

However, necessary punishment is indispensable. It is necessary to make them understand that the imperial court is not something they can fight against arbitrarily.
