Chapter 308: Night in Troubled Times (3)
"There is a movement three miles outside the city?"
For an ordinary city, this matter is enough to attract the attention of the generals, and this is the case for an ordinary city, let alone Chang'an City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the country of the Tang Dynasty, every move around Chang'an City is always being noticed by people.
When the news of the change outside the city came back, the soldiers also hurriedly conveyed the matter to the general who was inspecting the West City Gate today, Guan Kang, the commander of the Right Military Guard.
Guan Kang is thirty-two years old, with a swarthy and resolute face, and he looks very mature.
The straight spine seemed to mean that he would not bow his head easily, Guan Kang as a whole gave people a trustworthy appearance, but now his melancholy face seemed to tell them that he was hiding other things in his heart at the moment.
After the soldier quickly found Guan Kang, he also quickly relayed the matter to him.
But Guan Kang didn't take this matter to heart at the moment, which made the soldier feel a little surprised.
Now there is a group of people outside Chang'an City who don't know what purpose they have, Guan Kang is not only not anxious about this, but at this moment he is looking at himself with a confident face, which is indeed abnormal.
"Captain Guan, do you need to report this matter to the authorities?" After seeing that Guan Kang did not answer at this moment, the soldier also asked.
"There is no need to report to the top, before nightfall, I received an order from the Ministry of War, there is a transfer of guards and horses outside the city, we just need to defend the city, don't pay attention to it."
Guan Kang's response at this moment made the soldier understand why he was so calm just now.
The mobilization of soldiers and horses is a common thing in Datang, and the reason why Datang's soldiers are invincible is also due to their daily and nightly training.
What's more, Guan Kang has been notified by the Ministry of War at this moment, so there is indeed nothing worth doubting about this matter.
"You will continue to wait at the city gate, and I will go on patrol in a few moments, and if I am found to be lazy, I will not spare it!" Guan Kang's reprimand at this moment also made the soldier's heart tighten.
Quickly surrendered, the soldier also responded seriously
"Yes!"
After hearing the soldier's response, Guan Kang also took the generals and guards behind him and left here quickly, and then the soldier also turned around and returned to the West City Gate to tell everyone about the matter.
After learning that there was a movement of troops and horses tonight, everyone also expressed their understanding of the movement outside the city, but then the next situation made them feel a little strange.
Sneak attack, night attack...... The use of these tactics has been seen by the soldiers more than once, and even on several occasions, the soldiers have personally opened the city gates for them.
Guan Kang's response just now was convincing and reasonable, but when the soldier calmed down and thought about it carefully, he still felt a lot of weirdness.
Although it was a common thing to mobilize troops and horses to practice, when the soldiers learned that the right guard outside the city was getting closer and closer to the city gate, he was also inexplicably worried.
If what Guan Kang said is true, the Ministry of War has already issued an order, but why was Guan Kang only notified of this matter? What if Guan Kang didn't come and hurriedly told them about it, which caused a misunderstanding between the two parties?
What just made the soldier suspicious was that the soldiers and horses drills he had seen before all started from Chang'an City, but this was the first time he had entered Chang'an City.
And when he learned that the right guard outside the city was less than two miles away from Chang'an City, the soldiers felt that they were not practicing at the moment, as if they were really going to attack Chang'an City.
There was no one above, he had greeted himself and others in advance, and no one outside the city came to explain his intentions, and the situation at the moment was becoming more and more incomprehensible to him.
"What's wrong?" After seeing his poor face, the companion on the side asked with concern
"For some reason, I can't calm down now, and I always feel like something big is going to happen tonight."
The soldier's worried face made his companion sneer
"Don't forget, this is Chang'an City! You can still feel uneasy when you stay in Chang'an City, and you are the first one. ”
The companion's opening made a joke, which made the other officers and soldiers guarding here also laugh, looking at the "you are too worried" look on their faces, the soldiers also laughed at themselves
"That's right, this is Chang'an City, how could an accident happen in Chang'an City?"
………
East Gate of Taiji Palace.
After nightfall, all the gates that enter and exit the Taiji Palace are now closed. At this moment, in the place where the people live half a mile outside the Taiji Palace, there is a brightly lit house, and many people gather here.
The housekeeper in the palace of the king of Thailand was smart, and he sat among the people without saying a word and looked at the twenty people in front of him.
These twenty people are all dead soldiers in the palace of the Thai king, and no one can question their loyalty, and even they know what the value of their existence is.
Tonight is a make-or-die night, and if the King of Thailand's coup succeeds, then their future is bright.
But if it fails...... This is also too bad, to be able to participate in a lifetime of something that can shake the world, this kind of inner pride is enough for them to face everything with their chests held high, even if they go to hell.
"Brothers, I won't say too much, in short, I will toast you with tea and wine! One day he will be able to sit on glory and wealth and become a man of men! ”
Gao Ming's encouragement at this moment was brief, but it was very effective.
For the average person, they pursue two things all their lives
Rights and interests
Power refers to power, and profit is also interest or wealth, although the pursuit is very vulgar, but it is undeniable that everyone no matter in that era, these two things are the goal they strive for.
As the dead soldiers of the King of Thailand, the King of Thailand has the grace of knowing them, and in order to repay the favor, they can give up everything, including their own lives, for which everyone feels that this is right.
And if the King of Thailand can successfully ascend to the throne tonight, and he does not die, even if he is seriously injured, but as long as he survives, then what awaits him is a lifetime of glory and wealth!
And for helping their masters to rebel, this is a hundred benefits for them! And Gao Ming's words directly poking at the center at this moment also made everyone excited!
Because they were afraid of raising their voices to attract the attention of the people on both sides, they didn't open their mouths to echo Gao Ming at this moment, but now a pair of bloodshot eyes are telling Gao Ming that they will not disappoint Gao Ming, and they will not disappoint the King of Thailand!
Although there was no opening to echo, at this moment Gao Ming seemed to be aware of what they said, and after nodding to everyone, Gao Ming raised his arms and exhaled, and everyone immediately took steps that they thought would change their lives.
The sound of footsteps in the courtyard was sparse, and the people who had fallen asleep on both sides of it also complained a few words when they heard it
"I don't sleep at night, what are you doing in the yard!"
Although they complained like this, they didn't get up to check, and they also knew the temperature of the late autumn night, and they continued to enjoy the warmth brought to them by the quilt when their bodies changed positions.
And unconsciously, when the time came, Guan Kang looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, he breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly walked towards the west city gate. (To be continued.) )
