Chapter 667: Manna Change



Tian Qian judged from this that this palace rebellion would be dominated by Pei Renyong's Suining army, and these dead soldiers would play an important role. Suining is in the north of Chang'an, hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, the garrison is not allowed to enter Beijing unless it is called, and there is no major event in Beijing, what reason does the emperor have to summon the garrison of the feudal town into Beijing? How will Bae Renyong use this force?

This question was quickly answered. At the beginning of December of the second year of Yamato, the great eunuch Li Zhongyan during the Zhenyuan, Yongzhen, and Yuanhe periods died of illness after winter, this eunuch was not only Li Han's grandfather Xianzong Emperor Li Chun's early nursery master, but also his father Muzong Emperor Li Heng's nursery master, one body nursed two generations of emperors, and the merits were brilliant. In order to show his filial piety, Li Han issued an edict to bury Li Zhongyan, built his mausoleum in the north of Weishui near Huilongchuan in the territory of Suining, and ordered the eunuchs in the palace to go to worship regardless of their position.

Huilongchuan is very close to the border of Suining, the light cavalry can be reached in half a day, the southwest of this place is the important town of Fengtian, the town guard general Liu Fengshan is the confidant of Li Xianyi, the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, Li Xianyi is loyal to the royal family, Liu Fengshan is his sworn brother, and naturally he is not a person who is a good enemy.

On the whole, Li Han's intentions are already obvious, using Li Zhongyan's funeral to lure the eunuchs in Beijing out of Chang'an, and stew them in a pot in Huilongchuan, forever.

If this plan can be successful, the chronic disease that plagued Datang will be completely wiped out, and Daiwa Zhongxing is hopeful.

But Tian Qian concluded that this plan could not succeed, Qiu Shiliang was different from Wang Shoucheng, his ears and eyes were very clear, and Lin Ying, who was in charge of the "Eyes of Watching the Heavens", was loyal to him. "The plot succeeds in secrecy and fails in leaking, so the affairs of the three armies are more important than secrecy." This is Li Mao's famous saying, although Tian Qian has always doubted its true origin, but this statement is undoubtedly reasonable.

The emperor and his advisers planned such a large-scale plan, how could they ensure that not a single word was leaked, and even she, an outsider, had a clue, how could they hide it from Qiu Shiliang and Lin Ying's eyes? Once a secret is leaked, how can it succeed?

Sure enough, in mid-December, Xiazhou reported to Tubo Koubian, and Qiu Shiliang immediately went out of Beijing to inspect the garrison, threatening to annihilate the invading enemy under the city of Xiazhou. The military situation is greater than the mountain, so naturally he can't take care of Li Zhongyan's funeral.

This plan was leaked before it was successful, but Tian Qian expected that Li Han and his advisers had other plans, and they would use them immediately, because there was no turning back when the bow was opened, and this fierce battle could only be ended by dividing the winner and defeat.

"The last place where Han Jiangchun appeared was called Longyankou, a ferry port on a tributary of Weishui, and he left a secret sign to report safety, and then suddenly lost his news. If Longchuan's design to kill the eunuchs fails, will they be wiped out? ”

Because of Han Jiangchun's sudden disappearance, Hu Sijin was very flustered, and he was a little incoherent when he met Tian Xuan. Tian Qian just smiled faintly: "They are just a group of dead soldiers, how can they know the whole plan." What to do in Longchuan, they may not know, why do they want to kill people? They may have come to Chang'an. ”

Tian Yuan's judgment Hu Sijin did not dare to agree, what can he do when he enters Beijing at this time, Qiu Shiliang lives in a simple place, his whereabouts are uncertain, and there are as many as 100 people with him, all of whom are hard hands in 10,000 miles, and what kind of climate can a hundred dead soldiers become.

But if you don't believe it or not, Hu Sijin still hopes that Tian Yuan's judgment is accurate, so he doesn't have to be so worried and live like a year, and when the court of the Tang Dynasty fights in a mess, King Yan Youzhou raises troops and goes south to King Qin, he can say goodbye to Chang'an and return to Youzhou from Long.

Pei Zan's 100 dead soldiers went to Huilongchuan to do something, others didn't know, but Han Jiangchun knew in his heart, he lived in a village near Huilongchuan for more than ten days, and he didn't do anything, and suddenly he received an order to go south, and 100 people were divided into ten teams, pretending to be traveling and merchants to enter Chang'an City in batches. Hide in four secret strongholds in the city first, and wait for the right time before you start.

The day Han Jiangchun entered the city was a rainy day, the winter rain was misty, and the cold hated people. He sat in the cloth cart and staggered into the familiar Chang'an City, the streets of the city are wide and neat, but there are few pedestrians, the market is far from prosperous, and in the drizzle, the whole city is more like a majestic barracks.

Han Jiangchun settled in a shop where many traders gathered, most of these traders came from Persia, Tianzhu, and even further to the West, speaking half-baked Chinese, because the customs were very different from those in China, the government felt that dealing with these people was very laborious, except for taxation, so they ignored it, such an environment was obviously conducive to Han Jiangchun and others to hide.

Meals are brought every day, pedestrians outside the courtyard walls are noisy, but inside the courtyard walls are deserted, these tall houses have been uninhabited for a long time, the pillars are mottled with paint, and the cracks in the tiles are covered with grass, shivering in the cold wind.

After staying for about ten days, one day, a carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and a strong man in a blue shirt jumped out of the car and instructed several young men in Tsing Yi to carry cloth down, a total of thirteen horses. This strong man's name is Zhu Gui, who is Pei Zan's close confidant and the leader of a hundred dead soldiers. He gave the money, sent the Tsing Yi servant, closed the door, and opened the cloth in front of Han Jiangchun and others, it turned out that there was a high-quality knife rolled in each cloth.

Everyone has been confined in this isolated place for ten days, in order to prevent accidents, there is no inch around them, these people who are used to feeling knives and guns, without weapons in their hands, feel unaccustomed, and their hearts are itchy. At this moment, the good knife is in hand, and I can't help but pull it out one after another to watch, and the cold light is shining for a while, and the cold air is pressing.

Zhu Gui's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered everyone to put away the knife, but no one understood, and Zhu Gui had no choice but to ask Han Jiangchun for help. Because Han Jiangchun is strong and strong, and has a hard kung fu, plus people will come to things, he is the leader of everyone wherever he goes, and his words are more effective than Zhu Gui in this team.

Han Jiangchun just lost his eyes, and everyone obediently returned the knife to the sheath. Zhu Gui beckoned Han Jiangchun and said, "Someone will come here tomorrow morning with a black bamboo plaque and call your name, you go with him and listen to his military orders." If you succeed, you will be a hero, and your children and grandchildren will be prosperous and rich for generations, and they will enjoy it inexhaustibly. ”

Han Jiangchun promised to restrain his subordinates to rest early that night. But he was restless in his heart, with his memory, the place he was now should be in the southern city of Chang'an, half a city away from the Youzhou Jinjuan Academy, how could he reveal the information? He thought about it all night and couldn't come up with anything good.

Early in the morning of the second day, a thin black man knocked on the courtyard door, Han Jiangchun let him in, and the man took out a black bamboo card and shouted, "Han Jiangchun come with me." He led the crowd out of the door.

It was a cold winter day, and there was no one on the street. Everyone rode north in two black oilcloth carriages, and before getting into the carriage, they strictly ordered that no one should snoop outside, and those who violated the order would be killed. Strict military discipline is one of the important contents of the training of dead soldiers, and the effect to be achieved is that there is a fire pit in front of you, and if you want to jump, you must jump into it without hesitation.

Therefore he ordered that no one dare to peep out, lest his companions carry out the law of martial law, and take his own head to receive the reward. Han Jiangchun didn't dare to disobey, as the leader, all eyes were on him. But with the change of sunlight on the black cloth, he concluded that he was heading north, and the target was Daming Palace!

About half an hour later, the two carriages stopped in front of a tall and magnificent city gate, the street was deserted, not a single pedestrian was seen, but there were ironclad guards at the base of the wall, just holding spears and looking at everyone, but they did not have the slightest intention of coming to inquire, obviously receiving an order from the upper peak, and did not interfere with this.

Not long afterward, seven or eight more black oilcloth carriages came, and thirty or forty people came down one after another, all of them dead soldiers who had been trained together, but they were divided into five places, and they only waved to each other, and could not come close to talk.

Han Jiangchun chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it seems that today is to make you live or die, and you will never give up if you don't distinguish between victory and defeat.

Zhu Gui was dressed in a strong suit, rode a military horse and ran over, ordered the five executors to gather, and said: "Don't talk, don't look around, just follow me." Today's success is inexhaustible, glory and wealth are enjoyed, and no one can survive if they fail. You can hear it. The crowd shouted in unison. Zhu Gui asked Han Jiangchun to come out of the ranks, and personally appointed: "He is now my team vice-president, and when I die, everyone will listen to him." He also called out a person named Qian Qian, appointed him as Han Jiangchun's deputy, and stipulated that if Han Jiangchun died in battle, everyone would obey Qian Qian's orders.

After confirming that everyone had understood, Zhu Gui led the fifty people out of the city gate, facing a tall and thick city wall, the wall was full of five-colored flags, and between the two walls was an unusually wide street, the street was in an east-west direction, but on the northwest side, three tall and magnificent city towers were lined up in turn. An extremely gorgeous and magnificent city gate tower has two gilded characters, and the word "Danfeng" is clearly written. There is a city outside the city, the city is so tall and magnificent, the city gate is called "Danfeng", what else is there in Chang'an City except Daming Palace?
