Chapter 125: The Change of Xuanwu Gate (Part II)

The death of the department was like a mountain suddenly cracking, instantly making everyone stunned, his eyes were red, and he pointed at Zhang Liang hoarsely and shouted, "The Queen Mother poisoned the emperor!" The Queen Mother poisoned the emperor! ”

While shouting, he stumbled out and ran out, and the dozens of guards who escorted Li were full of murderous hearts, pulled out their long knives, and rushed towards Zhang Liang with a roar, and more than a dozen guards standing beside Zhang Liang also drew their knives to meet them, desperately protecting Zhang Liang's safety, and there was a big chaos in the dormitory, and the palace maids and eunuchs ran and hid in all directions, and there were crying and shouting everywhere.

Zhang Liang stared blankly at the chaos in front of her, she still couldn't figure out why the Li family drank another cup of medicine and died, what mystery was hidden in the middle?

Suddenly, a warm liquid pounced on her face, she wiped it with her hand, and there was sticky blood in her hand, she woke up suddenly, seeing that her guards were almost unable to support it, Zhang Liang's eyes couldn't help but flash a burst of fear, and he looked around in a panic.

"Queen Mother, come here!" Yuancai was beckoning to her, she suddenly remembered that there was a side door over there, Zhang Liang didn't have time to think about it, turned around and ran towards Feng Yuancai, but she didn't notice that Feng Yuancai saw her running towards her, and there was a slight smug smile on her face.

.

After Li Chuanyun left the dormitory, he immediately rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate, and Zhang Huan told her that once he started, he would meet here, and Li Chuanyun was careful all the way, avoiding one sentry after another. At this time, it was time for the changing of the guard, and the soldiers, who had been tired all night, were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the soldiers of the West Inner Garden.

Xuanwu Gate is located between the West Inner Garden and the Taiji Palace, and the West Inner Garden from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, has been the garrison of the forbidden army, the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin is here to launch the famous Xuanwu Gate Incident in history, and then opened the curtain of Zhenguan's rule.

At this time, the Xuanwu Gate became the last focus of the struggle between the two palaces, and the Long Wu army stationed in the West Inner Garden wanted to enter the Taiji Palace, and there was only one way.

Now. The front of the Xuanwu Gate is no longer deserted, the majestic city gate is closed tightly, and Zhu Zhu has led thousands of Longwu soldiers to rush to the Xuanwu Gate.

Zhu Zhu also stayed awake all night, he has been sitting in the handsome tent, one after another news from the Taiji Palace, the Queen Mother met a ghost, the imperial doctor has arrived, has sent the third batch of people to the Daming Palace, and the last news is that the Li Department entered the Taiji Palace, he ordered the soldiers to start preparations, once Zhang Liang succeeded, he immediately led the army to kill the Daming Palace. But then he was cut off.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, he suddenly received a report from the sentry that there had been a commotion at the Xuanwu Gate. Zhu Jun immediately realized that something was wrong, in order to prevent accidents, he specially increased the defense in the Xuanwu Gate, there were 300 soldiers guarding the city gate, and there was a riot but no one rushed to report, which shows that the matter will not be small.

Things were just as he expected, the Xuanwu Gate had been attacked by the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion. At the same time that the Li Department went to the Taiji Palace, He Lou Wuji led the soldiers of the 1,000-day cavalry battalion into the Daming Palace in the name of changing guards, but they did not change their guards, but boarded the city from the Xuande Gate controlled by the Tiancai Battalion.

Xuande Gate is the boundary between the East Palace and the Daming Palace, and it is also the only way to go to the Taiji Palace, it runs parallel to the Xuanwu Gate, and the tall and strong city wall connects the two gates into one, they are about a mile apart, although there is no barrier between them. However, the two armies guarding them usually do not interfere with the river water, but today it has become a shortcut for He Lou Wuji to sneak attack Xuanwu Gate. Three hundred soldiers of the Longwu Army were besieged by a thousand soldiers of the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion who fell from the sky. became a turtle in an urn, just after a simple battle. The soldiers of the Longwu Army died or surrendered, and none of them escaped.

"General, it seems that there is a heavenly cavalry camp on the upper floor of the city!" One of Zhu Zhu's adjutant had sharp eyes and suddenly recognized the soldiers on the city tower.

Zhu Jun was taken aback, countless thoughts swirled in his heart, he thought that Zhang Liang's side had launched it in advance, and the Taiji Palace was controlled by Cui Yuan's Jin Wuwei, but he never expected it to be the army of the Tianqi Battalion.

Could it be that Zhang Liang missed? 'Zhu Shou, but the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion will not obey the orders of the Li family, what the hell is going on?

"General, what are we going to do?" Several officers asked in unison.

"What should I do?" Zhu Jun said viciously: "Tianqi rebels, smash open the city gate for me!" ”

As long as it's not Jin Wuwei, he still has a chance.

The drums of the assault were beating rapidly, and thousands of soldiers poured up, and they had no siege weapons, so they cut down the towering trees one by one, simply made them into ramming logs, shouted trumpets, and rushed towards the heavy iron gate, when the soldiers on the tower suddenly rushed to the city

From a hundred to a thousand, arrows rained down on the soldiers who crashed into the city

After only one round of arrows, the first batch of more than 300 Longwu soldiers were shot to death under the city, Zhu Zhu was furious when he saw this, and he roared loudly: "Give me arrows and suppress them!" ”

The same dense rain of arrows shot at the tower, like flying locusts, 'Whoosh! Sou! Crossing the battlements, hundreds of soldiers of the Longwu Army shouted again, carrying more than a dozen striking logs and rushing towards the city gate, "Boom! There was a loud bang, and the first log slammed against the gates, and a loud, dull sound spread throughout the palace.

The gate shook, followed by the second and third times, and hit more than ten times in a row, the gate finally couldn't withstand the violent impact, the bolt broke, and was knocked open, and the extremely excited soldiers of the Longwu Army were like a flood that broke the embankment, raised their swords, and shouted and poured into the Xuanwu Gate.

But Zhu Jun didn't move, his eyes flashed with a trace of fear, it was obvious that the Heavenly Cavalry Camp was not overwhelmed by the rain of arrows, but that they had already evacuated.

"Why? Could it be that the Jinwu Weidi army has arrived? ”

He's going to be there! Click! The earth retreated, a deep sense of fear enveloped his heart, and he finally understood a little that the sudden arrival of the Tianqi Camp was most likely that he and Zhang Liang had fallen into a trap.

He watched the Long Wu Army pour into the Taiji Palace, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, he had already been defeated, and he was far from being someone else's opponent.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing in the Taiji Palace, there were as many as 10,000 people, except for Jin Wuwei, who would no longer be anyone else, Zhu Zhu turned off his horse's head and fled desperately to the back door of the West Inner Garden with dozens of personal soldiers.

.

In Daming Palace, three thousand soldiers of the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion have gathered near the Chongxuanmen, waiting for the commander's order to leave, at this time, Zhang Huan is making a final farewell to Cui Xiaofu.

Cui Xiaofu seemed very relaxed, and was not saddened by the death of the Li family, in fact, she had been waiting for this day for many years, the Tang Emperor died, and the Queen Mother also took poison to 'commit suicide', and then her three-year-old son ascended to the throne, and she will listen to the government until her son reaches the age of twenty, she still has seventeen years, enough for her to enjoy supreme power.

She was very grateful to the young general in front of her, although she really hoped that he could stay, but she also knew that both the Longwu Army and the Tianqi Battalion had to disappear in this palace coup, and Cui Yuan and Pei Jun could not tolerate the third army force in Chang'an.

Since he has been loyal to himself, he should be loyal forever and become a force in his own hands, Cui Xiaofu smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Huan: "This time for General Zhang's protection, the mourning family is deeply grateful, the mourning family hopes that the cooperation with General Zhang can continue, I believe that General Zhang also needs a person to support you, please General Zhang think about it." ”

Zhang Huan didn't ask questions directly, he looked back at Li Chuanyun, smiled and asked her, "Are you willing to stay by Niangniang's side?" ”

Li Chuanyun understood what Zhang Huan meant, she nodded silently, agreed to his arrangement, and Zhang Huan immediately said to Cui Xiaofu: "Li Chuanyun is my own sister, she can stay by my mother's side on my behalf and become Niangniang's right-hand man, if Niangniang has anything to find me, just tell her." ”

Cui Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, whether it was appropriate for Prince Yu's eldest princess to stay by his side, but this thought disappeared in a blink of an eye, Zhang Huan really wanted to become a threat to the throne, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, there was no need to think about this matter for the time being, and he really needed a capable assistant, this Li Chuanyun was bold and careful, and he was a good candidate.

She smiled and nodded, "We'll settle it." ”

At this time, a eunuch ran over in a panic, "Niangniang, Cui Xiangguo and Pei Xiangguo are asking to see each other!" ”

"The mourning family knows, please wait!" Cui Xiaofu turned around and waved her hand to Zhang Huan with a smile, "Go!" It's time to go. ”

Zhang Huan took a deep breath, and finally said to Cui Xiaofu: "Please take good care of her and tell her that I will definitely fulfill my vow by the Qujiang Pool!" ”

After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, pointed his whip at the Xuanmen, and ordered to the three thousand children: "Go!" ”

A group of soldiers sailed out of the Chongxuanmen, and there was an endless forest outside, and Cui Xiaofu didn't say to Li Fanyun with some worry until the last soldier disappeared from her sight: "The mourning family is very worried, he will probably not be able to get out of the pass with such a person." ”

Li Chuanyun smiled faintly, "Please rest assured, my younger brother has always planned and then acted, and he has a way to get out." ”
