Chapter 965: The Prince's Rebellion (Part II)
On Chang'an Street, after Hou Junji came out of the East Palace, he rode on his horse and hurriedly ran to the military camp in the west of the city, where his heart and abdomen were there, and he was ready to obey his call.
The crown prince has already acted, he has no turning back, and now there are only two paths in front of him - either death, or the rebellion is successful, and glory and wealth are rich!
After experiencing the Xuanwumen Incident, Hou Junji knows better than anyone that the rebellion must be acted quickly, so fast that His Majesty does not react to quickly capture the palace, otherwise they will have no chance. So he must now go and gather his troops right away.
To tell the truth, Hou Junji is still unwilling to work with the prince in his heart, this person is too rigid and self-serving, he uses thunderbolts privately, and he doesn't even say a word to himself about such a major matter as raising troops to force the palace, so he acts without permission, what if something goes wrong? It's the life of his family that he lost!
"Idiot! The shaft does not conspire! Hou Junji scolded a few words in his heart, raised the whip in his hand and slapped the horse's butt a few times: "Drive!" Drive! ”
"Who? Dismount! Seeing that there were still two streets away from the military camp in the west of the city, a group of soldiers with weapons suddenly came out and stopped Hou Junji.
"Are you blind? Keep your eyes open and see clearly! I don't even know this general? ”
A soldier glanced at Hou Junji carefully, and then said with a cold face: "Lord Hou, I'm sorry, the military camp in front has been requisitioned by General Li, you can't go over!" ”
Hou Junji was shocked in his heart, but he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, raised the whip in his hand and gave it to the few soldiers who were blocking the road, and roared angrily: "Bastard! Lao Tzu wants to go over, you rabbit cubs can't stop me! Release! ”
Several soldiers are also tough guys, and they were whipped by Hou Junji and did not change their faces, and they could not back down at all, gritted their teeth and said: "Lord Hou, I'm sorry, you can't go to the front, General Li has an order, and all the city defense will be taken over by him, and you must not participate!" ”
"Fart! Lao Tzu is the secretary of the military department! The military camp in front is a garrison under the jurisdiction of Lao Tzu! Li Jing is already old, why don't you let Lao Tzu in? I don't care about you! Hou Junji saw that it was not good, so he simply felt ruthless, and whipped it down, and at the same time urged the horse under his crotch, intending to rush over.
When the soldiers saw that Hou Junji was about to break in, their eyes immediately turned red, and they were about to step forward to stop him, when they suddenly heard a muffled sound in the distance.
The sound was somewhat unusual, and these veterans who had been on the battlefield were stunned when they heard the sound. A few months ago, the countries of the Western Regions that they had killed by thunderbolts were terrified, and they were very familiar with the sound of thunderbolts, and they could determine that it was from thunderbolts almost as soon as the sound sounded.
Chang'an City, how could there be a thunderbolt explosion? Several soldiers were stunned.
Hou Junji knew that Zhao Jie's side had already begun to act the moment he heard the thunderbolt. He took advantage of the moment when a few soldiers were stunned, and whipped the horsewhip fiercely, the horse was in pain, neighed wildly, and rushed away from several soldiers and galloped towards the barracks, and the soldiers could not stop it at all.
At the same time, everyone in the palace also heard the sound of a thunderbolt explosion outside, and the faces of those who recognized this sound suddenly changed.
"Thunderbolt? Who's using thunderbolts? Chen Fei was the first to shout. This thing was invented by him, and it was almost like his own son, and when he heard it, he knew that it was the sound of a thunderbolt explosion, and it was not far away, it seemed to be at the palace gate outside.
Li Shimin's face changed first, and then the ministers in the hall suddenly exploded. The thunderbolt exploded outside the palace gate, and everyone knows that things are definitely not simple, maybe someone really rebelled!
"Who hasn't arrived?" Li Shimin asked Wanfu on the side.
Wan Fu glanced at the ministers below, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, it seems to be... The military department is still the book of the Hou Junji. ”
"Hou Junji?" Li Shimin immediately thought that Hou Junji took the initiative to ask Ying to quell the rebellion two months ago, and also asked him to ask for Thunderbolt, but he didn't expect it to be ......
"No wonder he deliberately begged for a thunderbolt, Hou Junji, Hou Junji, you are confused!" Li Shimin said it with a pity, but there was no sympathy in his tone, and there was even indescribable coldness!
Anyone who betrays him will end up with only one end - death! The Founding Heroes are no exception!
"Someone! Send someone to inform Li Jing to reinforce the palace gate, and in addition, let the generals stationed in the palace resist the rebels, be sure to stop them! Li Shimin coldly gave the order.
Wanfu was so anxious on the side, he persuaded Li Shimin to leave here first, but unfortunately Li Shimin refused to move a step and stomped his feet in a hurry.
The generals in the hall are also very calm, they are used to seeing life and death, not to mention that the thunderbolt fire explodes at the palace gate, even if the thunderbolt fire explodes in the Liangyi Palace, they will not panic.
Chen Fei felt very speechless when he saw that the monarchs and ministers in the hall first made a fuss, and then regained their composure. I thought to myself, you guys should find a way to come out, it's better than standing here stupidly, right?
It didn't take long for the sound of a thunderbolt explosion to come from a direction, the prince rebelled, and it was not with blood, even if Hou Junji did not arrive, he had enough manpower and weapons to break through the palace gate.
Li Yuanchang also participated in this rebellion, and it was his palace that attacked the east palace gate, and Li Chengqian gave him five thunderbolts to break through the east gate.
Don't look at Li Yuanchang's usual laziness, eating, drinking, and having fun, and playing rebellion, he does have a set, and within a stick of incense, he won the East Palace Gate with a thunderbolt.
After several rounds of thunderbolts, the soldiers stationed at the palace gate were also defeated, and it seemed that they could not stop the attack of the rebels.
In fact, for the sake of insurance, Li Shimin did not equip the Praetorian Guards of the palace with thunderbolts. What if there is a traitor in the forbidden army and a thunderbolt kills himself?
But now, there is no one in the Praetorian Guard who has thunderbolts, and it is undoubtedly a lot more difficult to face the rebels with thunderbolts, although the opponent only threw out three thunderbolts, but the soldiers saw that the other party was still holding a thunderbolt in their hands and were afraid to step forward, which made the rebels morale high, and they were almost about to take the Xuanwu Gate.
Once the Xuanwu Gate is lost, the palace behind will be in no danger to defend! Naked in front of the rebels!
To make matters worse, in the military camp west of Chang'an City, Hou Junji broke into the camp and met with several of his henchmen.
As soon as Hou Junji came, he immediately raised the anti-flag, slashed and killed a few disobedient subordinates, and followed Hou Junji all the way to the palace with soldiers.
What's worse is that Li Jing was stationed on the city wall before, and he didn't expect that someone would rebel now, when he heard that someone outside the palace was rebelling, Hou Junji and his soldiers were already almost at Xuanwu Gate!
