Chapter 80 Loyal to the Tang Dynasty

"King Lanling, why is this?"

Xiao Quzhi looked at the saint with cold eyes and said about the crowd, looking at everyone's incredulity, full of anger, he and Li Qi looked at each other, pressed their hands, and everyone quieted down.

Xiao Quzhi glanced around at everyone, and then spoke: "Why?" Naturally, it is for the throne, naturally because of His Majesty's suspicions, naturally for His Majesty's selfishness, and naturally because of His Majesty's side, traitors are in charge! ”

Xiao Qu's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's ears, and the originally intense emotions also calmed down. For the emperor's stupidity, the traitorous ministers around the emperor are in charge, and everyone is not unaware, but since there has been no way to change it, all of them have automatically and selectively avoided it.

Now that their spiritual godfather, the most admired hero, and the leader himself spoke, all of them had to calm down and think about these questions, or listen to Xiao Quai's account of this issue.

"Your Majesty has done everything over the years, I think you all know it, you don't think about the government, you enjoy luxury, you are drunk and dreaming of death, you are important and evil, there were Li Linfu and Wang Ji in the past, and now there is Yang Guozhong, so that the government is not in the country, and the people are miserable.

Before I became king, I need no words about how many people in Gyeonggi Province and Togi Province lost their land, were displaced, and had no food or clothing, and many of you were like that.

Moreover, His Majesty favored An Lushan, the rebel Hu, and made him concurrently serve as Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu for more than ten years; Soldiers' armor, money and grain, war horses, and official positions are all given the greatest care, and Fan Yang Town has obtained war horse money and grain from the imperial court. It's more than three or four times that of other military towns.

These two years. Everyone in the world knows that An Lushan will be opposed. His Majesty still believed in his favor, and not only gave him the title of official and knight, but also rewarded him excessively; He even awarded him 500 generals, 2,000 Zhonglang generals, and agreed to replace Han generals with 32 generals.

An Lushan privately raised more than 100,000 troops and began to plunder Hebei, His Majesty still believes in and favors An Lushan, but there are those who dare to play and say that An Lushan will be opposed. His Majesty sent Fan Yang away...... It can be said that the 270,000 rebels in An Lushan and Youzhou rebelled, and His Majesty should bear the greatest responsibility.

Up to now, the rebels in Youzhou have slaughtered Hebei and Hedongdao, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, which is already the anger of people and gods; My Tiance Mansion is brave and loyal, loyal to the country, what is there that I can't live with Your Majesty, and I can't live with this Tang Dynasty? His Majesty actually lost his conscience and wanted to unite with the rebels in Youzhou. Wipe out my Tiance army! ”

After a pause, Xiao Qu's sickly gaze swept over everyone's eyes. said a shocking sentence; "Your Majesty now, it is really a rare great faint monarch throughout the ages!"

All the people fell into silence, they naturally knew that what King Lanling said was true, but in ancient times, the emperor ~ power ~ autocracy ~ system ~ society ~ society, even if the monarch was indeed stupid, but as a courtier, how could he bluntly criticize the monarch's father so bluntly?

If it were someone else, I am afraid that many people would have jumped up, but now it is their spiritual leader who is saying this, the person whom everyone admires the most, and they can only be silent.

Listen to the King of Lanling, King Lanling will not be wrong.

Xiao Quzhi continued: "Tiance Mansion is the guardian of the Tang Dynasty, for more than a hundred years, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion have fought bloodily for the Tang Dynasty, charging ahead, everyone present, including me and King Jianning, is proud to be a member of Tiance Mansion!"

How do I teach you? I tell you to be patriotic, about the responsibilities and obligations of soldiers, about the dedication and sacrifice of soldiers, about the mission of Tiance Mansion, and about the loyalty and protection of Tiance Mansion.

Now let me ask you, what is the mission of Tiance Mansion? ”

Hundreds of people didn't think about it, and replied in unison: "The mission of Tiance Mansion is to protect Datang, eliminate all enemies of Datang, and defend the homeland from violation!" ”

"What is the loyalty of the Heavenly Ce Mansion?"

"The soldiers of Tiance Mansion will always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to Sheji, and loyal to Tiance Mansion!"

"What is the Tiance Mansion protecting?"

"The Datang Dynasty guarded by Tiance Mansion is too peaceful and stable in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Xiao Quzhi asked again: "Now Your Majesty wants to exterminate our Tiance Mansion, with Your Majesty's strength, selfishness and suspicion, kill the three sons every day, imprison the prince and the prince, General Wang Zhongsi was also implicated by the prince and almost killed, you say, if we tie our hands and go to show loyalty to Your Majesty, will Your Majesty let us go?" Apparently not!

Now that Your Majesty wants to exterminate us, what are we going to do? ”

All of them were speechless. Xiao Qu stopped and signaled to Li Qi, who immediately understood and said loudly: "Perhaps, the most feared people by Your Majesty now are the two of you and me, even if the two of us are captured, Your Majesty will take over the Tiance Mansion, and the senior generals of the Tiance Mansion, General Li, General Ma, General Cao, General Qin, General Nan, as well as Li Shaoyin, Secretary Gao, Wang Changshi, and Mr. Du Zimei, will all be implicated and killed."

Tiance Mansion, the middle-level general of the Four Seas Trading Company, the management must also be exiled at the very least. And after His Majesty takes over the Tiance Mansion and the Four Seas Trading Company, what will happen, His Majesty does not think about the government, he is drunk and dreams of death, and he is full of traitors around him, and he can only hand over the Tiance Mansion and the Four Seas Trading Company to Yang Guozhong and others.

Yang Guozhong, a big straw bag, a big traitor, and a casino gangster, is this doing all this? When the time comes, the Youzhou army will resurrect and return to rebellion, can Yang Guozhong and his ilk quell the rebellion, make the world peaceful, and the people live in peace?

The Yin Jian of the 200,000 soldiers of Nanzhao and the 50,000 souls of the Hedong Army are not far away, and it is known that when the time comes, the world will be overturned, the society will be in decline, and the lives of the people will be ruined.

More importantly, we in Tiance Mansion, Master and I, are brave and loyal, and loyal to the country, what is wrong with us? Why should we be arrested, Master and I will not be killed! We are guarding the Tang Dynasty, and we are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the mission of Tiance Mansion is to protect the Tang Dynasty and defend the homeland, not the monarch and the ministers have to die! ”

Xiao Quzhi took over lightly and said: "It's like having a hundred people in a family, and one person is in charge, and in normal times, everyone has to listen to this parent." Patriarch. That's right. But if one day this person is in charge. He suddenly went crazy, he lit a fire to burn down the homes where these hundreds of people lived, he wanted to unite with foreign thieves to kill the children of the family, he wanted to make a good home become ruined, and the family was ruined. Can we just watch and let it go?

The guardian of our Tiance Mansion is the stability of the Tang Dynasty, the peace of the world, and the well-being of the people. We are loyal to the country of Datang, and now Your Majesty, he is now a complete Dusk monarch, what he did is to bury the country's luck, drag Datang into endless wars, he wants to make the whole world, hundreds of people, fall into the abyss of destruction.

He is now the king of a nation. But he is really a rebel of Datang and a sinner of Datang. The murderer who endangers the Datang Jiangshan Sheji! We want to protect Datang, he is our biggest enemy! ”

Everyone was shocked, the words of King Lanling and King Jianning had been clear enough, especially the last sentence of King Lanling, which was even more deafening and bold than ever, more than 600 officers at all levels, and instructors were stunned.

Is this going to be done against the court and the emperor? This is going to launch a coup ~ d'état? His Majesty the Emperor is our enemy, is this to kill the Emperor?

The Tiance Military Captain named Wei Chibin asked in a trembling voice: "King Lanling, what do you say we should do?" ”

The lieutenant general of the Tiance Army named Zhao Xu turned pale and said: "King Lanling, King Jianning, if you have any decisions, just say it, as long as it does not violate the government motto of Tiance Mansion, as long as it is for the good of the Tang Dynasty, we will definitely do everything." ”

The veteran of Tiance Mansion named Leng Tianfeng said anxiously: "His Majesty the Emperor is the emperor after all...... King Lanling, King Jianning, what are we going to do, we must make this Tang Dynasty less turbulent ~ chaotic, and the world will be pacified quickly! ”

Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi glanced at each other, and then looked at the sentinels in the distance, and then said: "Now, there are only two ways to go, one is that I and King Jianning will be captured, to eliminate Your Majesty's doubts, Tiance Mansion will be scattered, and then Yang Guozhong and his men will send away hundreds of thousands of troops, and sit and watch the world be in chaos, hundreds of people will die in the war, and the country's vitality will be greatly damaged; The two, we fought hard, took it by surprise, forced the palace coup ~ change, quickly pacified the movement ~ chaos, the world was peaceful, and let Datang get back on the right track and become stronger and stronger.

You say, 'Which way should we go?' ”

"Naturally, it's the second!" Xu Changhai, another Tiance veteran, asked, "King Lanling has already made a plan?" ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "In the past, when Emperor Taizong was in power, Prince Yin and King Qi wanted to murder Emperor Taizong, what did Emperor Taizong do?" Later, Empress Wei wanted to usurp the Tang Dynasty, what did His Majesty do now?

The plan of action set by me and Jianning is very simple, that is, with lightning speed, before His Majesty and Yang Guozhong can react, the divine soldiers appeared in Chang'an, killed Yang Guozhong, forced His Majesty to abdicate the crown prince, and after the prince ascended the throne, King Jianning was established as the crown prince. ”

From the very beginning, there has never been a shortage of palace coups ~ d'état in the Tang Dynasty, especially Xiao Quai's example, there is the Tang Long coup ~ d'état launched by Li Longji, which is a coup d'état to save the Tang Dynasty from peril, and Li Longji also came to power and became the crown prince.

Since there is a precedent for a coup ~ d'état, and it really saved the Tang Dynasty, all the people have suddenly become enlightened, and the following is the plan for the coup ~ d'état.

Xiao Quai's plan is indeed very simple, and whoever says it will make people feel like child's play. How could the coup d'état be so easy to launch, the tens of thousands of forbidden troops around the emperor, the more than 100,000 garrisons in Jingzhao Mansion, and the hundreds of thousands of border troops who came to encircle and suppress our Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou towns?

But these words came from Xiao Quai's mouth, and none of the more than 600 people present doubted it; Now these more than 600 people, the only thing they care about is whether this coup ~ d'état will kill many of their own people, whether it will fight a long-term civil ~ war, whether it will cause chaos in the world, and after the coup ~ is successful, what will the current emperor do?

As if seeing through their minds, after some people showed some such doubts and even expressions a little, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi answered these questions for everyone.

So, almost two hours later, these more than 600 people returned to their own ranks, and the 30,000-strong army was urgently mobilized.

The 30,000 soldiers were divided into three routes, the first way, 2,000 soldiers escorted An Lushan and more than 20,000 Youzhou prisoners of war to Dugi Road; The 18,000 soldiers on the second road, together with 2,800 Youzhou troops, led by Xu Changhai and Leng Tianfeng, immediately went north, and after relieving the siege of Taiyuan, they cooperated with the Hedong Army to go out of Jingcheng Pass and Yanmen Pass at the same time, and fought all the way to Fanyang.

The third road is that more than 700 Tiance cavalry and 6,000 horseback Tiance veterans, led by Li Qi, escorted An Lushan from now on to Chang'an; Xiao Quai's illness is once again a single three-horse and gives Li Qi an outpost.

In the food box where the three-way army of Tiance Mansion acted urgently, in the direction of the imperial court, the armies of all roads were not idle, Guo Ziyi's four thousand vanguard cavalry were moving south along the Beiluo River, and they were about to march to the boundary of Feng Yi County; Further west of Shuofang, the 10,000 vanguard cavalry of the Hexi Army and the Longyou Army had already reached Pengyuan County.

If they could know that the 40,000 Youzhou army had been wiped out and the more than 6,000 Tiance troops were rushing to Chang'an, they would immediately stop rushing to the Hedong battlefield, but turn to the direction of Chang'an City and stop the Tiance army on the road.

However, there were no telegraphs and telephones in that era, and the battlefield intelligence was also tightly sealed by the Tiance Army, so they naturally did not know all this, and they were still desperately running in the direction of Hedong.

On the other side, in Chang'an City, tens of thousands of forbidden troops and 50,000 Tianwu troops were also urgently prepared, training for training, and defending the city; In the Daming Palace, where Li Longji lives, it is even more heavily guarded, with three steps and one sentry, and five steps and one post, which can be described as impregnable.

Outside Chang'an City, the garrison of the 5,000 Heavenly Martial Army dominated, and Chang'an City was in a position of horns, and the 60,000 Jingzhao garrisons and the 15,000 local garrisons of Huayin County and Fengyi County also received orders to enter the first-level combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time.

At the same time, Li Longji sent people to pay close attention to the more than 18,000 Tiance troops that had conquered Nanzhao's Hui Division, and ordered the Jingzhao garrison to assemble and reorganize, and the follow-up troops and horses of the Hexi and Longyou armies rushed to Fufeng County to assemble, so that they could not enter Jingzhao Mansion for half a step.

After some arrangement, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong were relieved, Chang'an City was so tightly defended, and the troops of the envoys of each town were continuously gathered - as soon as the Anxi Ting Army arrived, they directly replaced Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, so what was the matter.

The combat power of the Tiance Army, both of them have also figured it out, that's it, wasn't the 30,000 Tiance Army on the Hebei battlefield easily defeated by the 10,000 Youzhou cavalry? In Yang Guozhong's view, the so-called 300,000 soldiers and peasant soldiers actually have limited combat effectiveness, and they are completely supported by the veterans of the past, and Li Longji also thinks so.

And the soldiers and horses of all towns on the side of the imperial court, plus the forbidden army of Beiya, are all elite, both in terms of number and combat effectiveness, they are all superior to the Tiance army, and the imperial court has the name of righteousness, even if it can't win a quick victory, the stalemate continues, the imperial court is also sure to win!

However, just when Yang Guozhong was full of confidence, the appearance of some rumors made his heart unsteady. So, after discussing with several confidants, Yang Guozhong immediately rushed to Daming Palace. (To be continued.) )
