Chapter 438: The Chaos Is Settled!
The city of Chang'an was in chaos, and the news of Li Su's assassination spread quickly to various places through the communication system that had been popularized in the Tang Dynasty, and each force had to make a choice that would affect the future at this time.
Li Su was in the secret base of the shadow guard at this time, but in this short period of time, Li Rui intercepted a large amount of information, from which they analyzed the reaction of these people when they were embarrassed, and at the same time, they identified who was a loyal minister and who was a traitor.
"Let's get moving." The chaos in Chang'an has allowed Li Su to get the information he wants, and it is no longer necessary to continue the chaos, just at this time, the armies organized by various local gate lords have begun to besiege the local government offices, trying to control the regime of the Tang Dynasty, what he wants is to let these hidden forces all jump out, so that he can get rid of the hidden tumor once and for all.
After receiving Li Su's order, the clone army deployed in various places immediately took action to fight the rebels that appeared, and at the same time, Li Rui sent all the information of these rebel leaders to Li Ran, asking them to arrest all these people, and at the same time, Li Su ordered the Tang army to control the generals with different intentions and control the situation to further expand, after all, he didn't want his good country to be beaten into a mess.
In the Daming Palace, Shangguan Yi and the eldest grandson Wuji were both in the Daming Palace at this time, and other officials also gathered here in order to take refuge, and at the same time, the most important thing was that they had disagreements on the succession to the throne at this time.
"Shangguanyi, what are you doing, Li Rennai is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the eldest son of the emperor, he should inherit the unification, Li Yun is only the third prince, how can he be qualified to inherit the throne." The eldest grandson Wuji pointed at Shangguan Yi and scolded.
And Cui Yingying's face turned pale at this time, she pointed at Shangguan Yi and said: "Hmph, I asked the emperor to watch out for you back then, but the emperor didn't listen, today you really showed your wolf ambitions, and among the three princes, only Li Yun has no power behind him." As long as he becomes the emperor, you can safely control the government of the Tang Dynasty, right? ”
Shangguan Yi smiled lightly when he heard this, he knew that Cui Yingying had always been wary of him, if Li Ren was allowed to ascend the throne, he would not have a good day in the future, it was better to fight hard at this time, Liu Yanyu's son Li Yun succeeded to the throne, Liu Yanyu has always been timid and docile, and the mother and son are not at his mercy, and Cui Yingying is strong. The crown prince Li Ren was also taught to have the demeanor of Li Su, and it was indeed difficult to control, "Queen Mother, I won't tell you, now the commander of the Central Army outside the city is my nephew, fifteen years ago under the pseudonym Dong Hao commanded the artillery, this 100,000 Central Army, only he can move, in order to cut out the rebellion, get rid of the traitors." I hope the queen will think about it. As he spoke, Shangguan Yi deliberately glanced at Eldest Sun Wuji.
"You!" Cui Yingying's chest rose and fell violently, she didn't expect Shangguan Yi to have been laid out for so long, and now Cheng Huailiang's new army and the rebels are fighting fiercely. The two sides fought evenly on top and bottom, and if they wanted to stabilize the situation, the only way to stabilize the situation was the Central Army, after all, it would take several hours for the armies of Xue Rengui, Qin Huaiyu and others to arrive. Among the many armies, the combat power of the Central Army is the first, and if the 100,000 Central Army is really as Shangguan Yi said. Obey that Dong Hao's order, then it will be really troublesome.
Sitting down dejectedly, Cui Yingying felt unprecedented powerlessness at this time, and at this time she had to weigh this matter strictly.
There was a dead silence in the hall, the faces of the officials of the Chang'an faction were dark, Shangguan Yi's hole card made them lose completely, the new army could not confront the central army at all, this is something that everyone understands, just when they were discouraged, suddenly dozens of Praetorian Guards went straight into the main hall, and a captain led by him took out a roster and read: "Shangguan Yi, Du Yuren, ......, all of them will be arrested for me." ”
The officials were frightened when this batch of heavily loaded Praetorian Guards broke in, and when this roster was read out, Shangguan Yi could no longer be described as shocked, and the whole person froze, because these people were all protégés and henchmen he had cultivated over the years, and after a while, he pointed to the Praetorian Guard captain and said, "Who are you?" Here is gibberish. ”
The lieutenant glanced at Shangguan Yi and ignored him, but said to Cui Yingying: "Empress Qiyu, the emperor is well, let me bring a message to the ministers to stay in the Daming Palace for the time being, and then explain this matter to the ministers when he quells the rebellion." ”
"What? Isn't the emperor? Cui Yingying immediately stood up and asked in disbelief.
The lieutenant said: "The emperor is well, he is sitting in the central army at this time, and the generals of the major military regions have been ordered to suppress the rebellion in various states, please rest assured." ”
This time Cui Yingying listened to it really, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, at this time she found the backbone again, as long as Li Yu is still alive, and some ministers are also crying with joy, they have watched Datang get better and better day by day over the years, and they only hope that Datang can continue to go on like this for a long time, and they never want to see the chaotic Datang again, this news undoubtedly makes them excited.
And Shangguan Yi and some officials are all dead, Li Su is still alive, and every qiē they have carefully arranged will be vulnerable, because no one knows that Li Su will continue to fight after he is still alive.
"Bring them all down." Cui Yingying pointed to Shangguan Yi and said, and then said to the other ministers: "Since this is the emperor, you can stay in the Daming Palace and wait for the emperor for the time being." ”
"Yes, Queen!" A group of officials shouted loudly, and like Cui Yingying, they found the backbone again, and immediately calmed down, without the panic they had at the beginning.
As soon as he finished saying this, a fierce firefight sounded outside the Daming Palace, and the Praetorian Guards and the rebels guarding the Daming Palace had already begun to exchange fire, and judging from the sound of guns, it was obvious that the firepower on the Praetorian Guard's side was more intense, which made the officials more and more relieved.
According to the news, the number of rebels in the city is 20,000, and it does take a while to eliminate them, and this will cause great damage to Chang'an, if Li Su occupies the four city gates, the rebels will definitely resist desperately, if a gate is left, the rebels will definitely flee along the north gate, and at this time the central army ambushed outside the north gate can wipe out these rebellions.
In the barracks, Li Su gave an order to Dong Hao, Shangguan Yi was too confident, this Dong Hao had been checked by Su Moer well before, in order to plan the plan, Li Su pardoned Dong Hao's capital crime and asked him to make meritorious contributions, Dong Hao has been doing things for Li Hao all these years, and told him some things that Shangguan Yi had secretly talked with him, so over the years, Li Su would let him go so much, and even supported the Chang'an faction to restrain him, just hoping that Shangguan Yi could wake up, in short, he has been with him for so many years, he doesn't want to meet one day, But desire is terrible, and not everyone can jump out of it.
The Central Army received the order to quickly assemble to attack Chang'an, these Central Army soldiers rode in Humvee cars equipped with heavy machine guns, with grenades on their bodies, neither equipment nor combat experience was comparable to the rebels who were armed with rifles during the First World War, and in just half an hour, the soldiers of the Central Army had captured three city gates, and then they began to enter Chang'an, knowing the rest of the rebels.
The battle at the gate of Daming Palace was extremely fierce at this time, Chai Lingwu took the dead soldiers in the five thousand new army to continuously attack the Daming Palace, but the fierce firepower made his attack fail again and again, leaving only a corpse in front of the door of the Daming Palace, and the five thousand soldiers were broken in half in just half an hour.
"General, it's not good, the Central Army is coming, and the three gates of the east, west and south have all been lost, and now the Central Army is rushing here." A bloodied soldier ran over and shouted.
"What!" Chai Lingwu was stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized that their plan had all failed, and coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was just an empty word, he thought that it was very easy for the five thousand new troops to deal with the five hundred Praetorian Guards stationed in the Daming Palace in peacetime, but he didn't expect that there were many Janissaries here and two thousand people, and the Central Army fought again at this time, and a terrible idea suddenly appeared in his mind - "They fell into Li Su's trap!"
