Chapter 1148: The Battle of Square Inches

Yang Fan climbed the city wall as lightly as a spirit ape, and saw two smiling faces at a glance.

A smiling face is graceful, and the smile is so sweet. The other one is from Ma Qiao, and he laughs so silly.

Yang Fan's gaze just swept quickly over their faces, now was not the time to reminisce about the old lyrical, and then he saw Li Xian and Empress Wei, as well as Princess An Le.

Li Xian was also grinning, although there was only one person coming up, but psychologically he gave him more security. Empress Wei and An Le's clothes are as embarrassed as Li Xian, their hair is simply tied back at the moment, but they are just smiling very happily, even if An Le, who has had too many entanglements with Yang Fan, at the moment of life and death, many things will become very simple.

Li Xian grabbed Yang Fan and said excitedly: "General Yang, you are finally here, what about Wan Qi?" Are all the horsemen out there? ”

Yang Fan said: "Bixia, don't panic, the Xuanwu Gate is indestructible, and they can't come up for a while." The minister still doesn't know who rebelled, but I know that one of my ten thousand cavalry also stole the minister's talisman and led away the division of the two brigades. The minister was afraid that if he rashly transferred troops into the city, it would be even more chaotic under the distinction between the enemy and me, so the minister asked the army to wait in the military camp in armor, and first led a team of men and horses to Xuanwumen to inquire about the situation. Now that Bixia is here, the ministers and horses have issued an order and ordered Wanqi to immediately go to the aid of Xuanwumen. ”

Li Xian nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Okay, good, good." General Yang, my safety will be handed over to you. ”

Yang Fan turned to Maqiao and asked, "What is the situation under the city?" ”

Ma Qiao said: "Many soldiers and horses have come one after another, all of them are rebels, but their leader has not shown up until now. I don't know who it is. In addition, General Liu Jingren of Youyulin led a detachment of divisions to arrive, and now he is confronting the enemy under the two troop transport routes. ”

Yang Fan hurried to the city wall to visit, and saw that the torches seemed to be full of stars. The rebels are massing into battle. Yang Fan frowned and thought, there are only more than 100 people on the Xuanwu Gate, and Liu Jingren's troops and horses under him don't know how long they can resist, the Xuanwu Gate is strong, but how can there be a fortress that can't be attacked in this world, but don't let the rebels attack the city before the army of 10,000 horsemen arrives, it will be miserable.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, then turned to Li Xian and said, "Bixia, as soon as the minister's soldiers and horses arrive." It will be able to protect Bixia thoroughly. ”

Li Xian nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said continuously: "Okay, good." ”

Yang Fan's words changed and said: "However, there are not many defenders in the city, if the rebels forcibly attack the city." Of course, the soldiers will swear to the death, but Bixia, the queen and the princess are ten thousand gold. There is no room for mistakes. In order to be in order, the minister thought that he should find a way to delay their siege of the city, and try to delay it until the ten thousand horsemen arrived. ”

Li Xian hurriedly said: "General Yang will come out?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Li Chongjun rushed to the city and heard that his father, mother, and An Le had fled to the Xuanwu Gate, and couldn't help but hesitate.

According to his original plan, he was to launch a rebellion to break into the inner palace. After killing Wei and An Le, he "pleaded guilty" to his father, only saying that he was killing the traitor, and it didn't matter how he pleaded guilty at that time, just like his grandfather Li Shimin pleaded guilty to Li Yuan after launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion. Even if Li Yuan wants to punish the crime, does he still have the ability to punish the crime?

As a result, things were a little unexpected, and the time from the main gate to the palace was really delayed, and he actually let his father escape to the Xuanwu Gate, and there were soldiers and horses around him, at this time Li Xian was not in his grasp, so he blatantly ordered the siege of the city, and he really lacked courage.

Li Chongjun brought Li Duozuo, Li Qianli, Sha Zha Zhongyi, Li Sichong, Li Siqing, Dugu Zhizhi and others together to discuss countermeasures, Li Duozuo even killed his son-in-law in order to help the prince rebel, so he naturally advocated attacking the city. Li Qianli felt that he could intimidate the Son of Heaven to hand over Empress Wei and An Le, and there was no need to tear off a fig leaf between father and son, which was conducive to Li Chongjun's seizure of power after he ascended the throne.

As for Sha Zha Zhongyi and Dugu Zhizhi, they are a little ambiguous, thinking that they can do anything, as long as they can help Li Chongjun ascend the throne, they will be able to raise their eyebrows and become ten million people from now on.

Li Chengquan and Li Sichong also suggested attacking the city immediately, and Li Chengquan saw that he was one step away from victory, and he really longed for it, and only hoped that he would be able to achieve immortal achievements immediately, so he was naturally anxious.

The soldiers are fast, but the argument between the two sides took a lot of time, and what is more important is not time, but also morale. If they kill the city and immediately attack the city, those soldiers are full of murderous intentions, morale is like a rainbow, and this Xuanwu Gate may not be able to defend it, but after such a stagnation, the soldiers stand there and have nothing to do, and it is inevitable that they will ponder indiscriminately, and their morale will be somewhat dispersed.

The two factions were at odds with each other, and Zuihou finally came up with a compromise solution, that is, everyone put pressure on the former emperor to hand over Empress Wei and An Le, and they swore an oath to heaven to ensure the emperor's safety. If the emperor refuses to listen, he will launch a large army to attack the city.

So the generals surrounded Li Chongjun and came to the city and shouted loudly to the city, and Li Xian knew that it was his son who mutinied. Li Xian is the emperor, no matter how embarrassed he is, he must try his best to maintain the majesty of the emperor, so it is naturally not good to lie on the head of the city and shout nonsense, so he asked Ma Qiao to pass the word for him.

Ma Qiao poked his head out of the dish wall and said loudly: "Bixia said, Li Chongjun, you are the crown prince, why did you commit a rebellion, do you think you can hide the scandal of killing your father and usurping the throne from the eyes and ears of the world?" Bixia said, Li Duozuo, Li Qianli, I treat you well, why do you help the prince to rebel? ”

Li Chongjun hugged his fists to the city and said, "Father, the son has no objection. It's just that the Hou Party is arrogant and usurped our country's weapons, how can my son sit back and watch as the prince, and today I entered the palace with all the Zhongliang to admonish my father, and only asked my father to hand over Empress Wei and Anle, and my son was willing to ask for guilt in front of his father. ”

Li Duozuo also said loudly: "Wu Sansi fornicated with the palace, and the ministers were ordered by the prince to correct Wu Sansi's father and son. The prince and the ministers had no objection, they only asked Bixia to clear the palace, as long as Bixia could do it, the ministers immediately withdrew and asked Bixia for guilt. ”

Li Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Wu Sansi's father and son were executed, Empress Wei and Wan'er were also shocked, what they were afraid of was not the death of Wu Sansi's father and son, but they didn't know whether the military power controlled by the Wu clan had also fallen into the hands of the prince, if the prince had mastered the Beiya Forbidden Army, I am afraid that it would be difficult to resist with only ten thousand horses.

The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that there seemed to be no Nan Ya involved in this mutiny, and King Xiang and Taiping did not rebel together, otherwise, the consequences would be even more uncontrollable.

Yang Fan had already asked Gao Chu to break out of the encirclement and report the news, but the team couldn't arrive for a while, and now he could delay for a while to have more hope, so he immediately said in Li Xian's ear: "Bixia, please follow the minister's plan and delay the time." ”

Li Xian nodded and said nervously: "I understand, it's all up to the general's plan." ”

Seeing this, Ma Qiao shouted to the city: "Wait for the truth, all be quiet, Bixia will speak to you in person." ”

As soon as these words were shouted, the drum noise under the city immediately stopped.

It is certainly difficult to succeed in a rebellion with the participation of Xiucai, but it is also difficult to achieve a rebellion in a pure military formation without Xiucai. These soldiers did not immediately attack the city after they came to the city, which was already a big taboo, and at this time they actually calmed down and listened to the emperor's lecture, and they inevitably made another fatal mistake.

Li Xian lay at the mouth of the city wall, tried to adjust his breathing, and shouted loudly to the city: "Soldiers, you are all my cronies and guards, your future and fortune are all given to you by me, you Weishenme want to rebel with the prince?" ”

When Li Chengquan heard that it was not good, he immediately shouted: "Prince, don't wait, give the order to attack the city!" ”

Li Chongjun held his sword and hesitantly turned his head to look at the three veterans Li Qianli, Li Duozuo and Sha Zha Zhongyi, at this time, Li Xian tore his throat and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, as long as you do it right away and kill the thief, I promise that I will not be guilty of the past, and I will reward you for your merits and deeds, so as to ensure that you are prosperous and rich." ”

Li Xian had almost never spoken so loudly, and after saying something, he couldn't help coughing, Yang Fan raised a torch and flew up the city wall, standing up and shouting: "Emperor Chrysostom said that if he is not to blame for the past, he will definitely keep his promise!" What the prince can give you, the emperor can give it to you, don't make a decision early, and when my army of ten thousand horsemen arrives, it's too late to regret it! ”

Yang Fan slowly approached the torch to his face, illuminated his appearance to the rebels under the city, stared coldly at the black and oppressive battle formation under the city, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and shouted loudly: "Duguzhi, you steal my talisman, and call my soldiers to work for you, are you guilty?" The soldiers under the 10,000-horse battalion, Yang Fan is here, you can't wait quickly, when will you wait? ”

Yang Fan believed that this would not only delay the rebels' attack, but also cause chaos for them, as Dugu had stolen his talisman. If the divisions of the two brigades taken away by Dugu Zhizhi were Dugu Zhizhi's henchmen and obeyed Dugu Zhizhi's orders, Dugu Zhizhi would not need to take the trouble to steal his talismans.

Therefore, Yang Fan concluded that many of the rebels must have been coerced and bewitched, and now that the emperor has promised not to investigate their crimes, and promised high-ranking officials to be generous, he will come forward again to intimidate with an army of 10,000 horsemen, and expose Dugu's false military orders, which is expected to cause chaos among the rebels.

Sure enough, after Yang Fan's words, although the rebel camp under the city was silent, the originally strict camp was loosened in an instant, and countless people were looking left and right, some wanted to see who else around them had been deceived, and some were wary of wanting to know who wanted to do it anyway.

Yang Fan stood on the city wall, and when he saw that the military heart was available, he immediately shouted: "Son of Heaven, the army is coming, it's not anyway, when will it be?" ”

Ma Qiao led more than 100 forbidden troops on the Xuanwu Gate to chant in unison: "Son of Heaven Hongen, the army is coming, it's not anyway, when will it be?" When, when, when, when, when......"

Zuihou's words were repeated over and over again by them neatly and majestically, like the never-ending tide of the Buddha, hitting the hearts of the rebels under the city over and over again, crushing their soldiers, their confidence, and their courage. The heart of Fang Cun is where the soul of man is, and the soul is intimidated, who still has the heart to fight.

Captain Cai Gufu and Cui Lang glanced at each other, suddenly pulled out their sabers, and shouted, "Brothers, anyway! ”

P: Zuihou is one day at the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued......)
