Xue Wanche killed the last palace maid in Qingning Palace and did not ask about Li Zhi's whereabouts, Chai Lingwu looked at Xue Wanche with a fierce face and did not dare to speak.

At this time, a small colonel ran in from outside and reported: "General, Lord Fang has sent a message and found traces of His Majesty and the Empress near the imperial study. ”

Xue Wanche just felt that Li Zhi was running so fast, but Chai Lingwu was all dead when he heard it.

He hurriedly shouted: "Chase quickly, we must not let Li Zhi run out of the imperial city, otherwise we will die immediately without a place to be buried!" ”

Xue Wanche looked at Chai Lingwu suspiciously, and asked, "What?" ”

Chai Lingwu shouted at him: "Li Zhi must go to the imperial study to get the seal letter, if he gets the seal letter, he can issue an order to quell the rebellion without leaving the city!" ”

Xue Wanche laughed when he heard this: "Really? I hope so. ”

Chai Lingwu asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

Xue Wanche replied coldly: "No, this kid has offended too many people!" ”

After saying that, Xue Wanche didn't care about Chai Lingwu, to be honest, he didn't like Chai Lingwu very much. I feel that this person is the same as his old son Chai Shao, he has some talent, but he doesn't have a little responsibility.

Xue Wanche said to the junior colonel who came: "The herald orders to immediately block the Anhua Gate, the Mingde Gate, the Qixia Gate, and the Yanping Gate. ”

Chai Lingwu thought for a while and asked, "Aren't we arresting Li Zhi in the palace?" ”

Xue Wanche glared at him, and really felt that this firewood horse was really lacking in his brain. Of course, it is best to catch Li Zhi in the palace, and when he runs out of the palace to arrest him, he can only pray to God, this kind of unintentional thing Xue Wanche will never want to do.

The blockade of the city gates of Chang'an is just for the sake of insurance, and even if Li Zhi runs out of Chang'an from other directions, it may not be until tomorrow night to find the army in Lingnan.

A burst of flame swept into the air with an earth-shattering continuous explosion, illuminating the southwest corner of the palace for a burst of light.

The sudden explosion surprised Xue Wanche, who was in the battle formation, and after a while, someone hurriedly came to report: "Report to the general, there is water near Xingren Gate." ”

After a while, a soldier came to report: "General Qiyu, Lord Fang has sent a message: Shenyue and Ziri's two fathers-in-law were killed in battle, and the scout team left in the Taiji Hall was attacked by firearms near Xingren Gate, and there were heavy casualties and only six people were left to move." ”

Hearing this news, Xue Wanche was really a little anxious, the two fathers-in-law of Shenyue and Ziri were the personal guards of Tang Taizong back then, and their martial arts were extremely high, and there were few opponents in the rivers and lakes. They know even more about the imperial study than the previous emperor, this time Li Ke spent a lot of money to buy the two of them, and the two of them guarded the imperial study Everyone thought that they were foolproof, but they didn't expect to be killed.

His scout team is a mobile force arranged near the Taiji Palace, these people are veterans of many battles, and they are good at searching, reconnaissance, and tracking. They were arranged near the Taiji Hall to prevent Li Zhi from escaping south, and now that they were attacked here, it showed that Li Zhi really planned to go out from this side.

Xue Wanche immediately led his subordinates to hurry to Xingrenmen, passing by a pond, Xue Wanche was in a daze at the pond water. He suddenly shouted: "Come on, hurry to Anhuamen immediately, and inform them to immediately rush to the water gate of the Qingming Canal to set up defenses." ”

When Xue Wanche called someone to rush to Anhuamen, Li Zhi and Zhang Wenyi had already driven a narrow boat through Dunyifang, this kind of boat is a bit like a car boat, which needs to be pedaled with feet, but unlike the car and boat, the two paddle wheels on the left and right cannot be seen.

Li Zhi didn't know that this kind of small boat was propelled by propellers, he just felt that the boat was moving fast. Since the waterway runs through the streets, they have not encountered any soldiers patrolling the night until now.

Li Zhi was very tired now, he glanced at Zhang Wenyi, who was sweating profusely and was still struggling to pedal, gritted his teeth and continued to pedal. Passing through Da'anfang, you can already see the lights on the side of Anhua Gate, and many soldiers are gathered.

The sound of stomping was very clear in the night, but it was not very loud, so the soldiers over there did not hear the sound from this side.

The boat passed through the water gate and came out of the city. After continuing to drive for nearly three miles, he saw Fang Qiong and four war horses on the shore.

Zhang Wenyi first served Li Zhi ashore, and then pulled the plug from the bottom of the boat, and the water quickly poured into the cabin, and the boat gradually sank. Zhang Wenyi abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and the three of them got on their horses separately.

Fang Qiong didn't see Lu Yan, so she didn't need to ask if she was definitely there. Fang Qiong's eyes darkened, and Zhang Wenyi just said when she saw it: "Let's go." ”

When Li Zhi arrived at the barracks, Bai Sanniang and others, who had arrived in advance, had already made contact with General Lin Ende, who was leading the army, and the army was assembling.

Li Zhi didn't expect Lingnan's army to assemble so quickly, and it was less than a cup of tea for him to enter the barracks to rest, and the troops had already been fully armed.

Li Zhi hurriedly wrote an edict with a sealed letter and handed it to Lin Ende, asking him to mobilize the army to quell the rebellion.

Lin Ender led the army to take Anhua Gate. The scout detachment of the Lingnan Army climbed up a secluded section of the city wall and used a sneak attack to eliminate the defenders on the city tower. Destroyed the mechanism of the suspension door so that the suspension door could not be lowered, and cut the suspension bridge rope to lower the suspension bridge.

Another scout detachment outside the city blew up the city gate with explosives, leading the army to storm the Anhua gate.

There were about 100 soldiers belonging to Xue Wanche's department in Anhuamen, and their resistance was really insignificant in front of a large number of Lingnan troops.

After occupying Anhuamen, Lin Ende immediately personally led people to the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, and sent another general Zhang Shuo to capture Jingzhao Mansion

Since the explosion of the bomb set up by Zhang Wenyi last night had attracted the attention of hundreds of civil and military officials, Sun Wuji, the eldest Sun Wuji, who was in charge of the command of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya, had already mobilized the troops and horses in the city to assemble, strengthened the patrol in the city, and issued orders to all gates of Chang'an City to strengthen the defense.

The Anhuamen defenders were controlled by Xue Wanche's generals, so they did not use the original defenders to strengthen the city defenses as promised. This also gave the Lingnan Army an opportunity to occupy Anhuamen.

Because Lin Ende was holding the holy decree, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately imposed martial law on Chang'an City after receiving the holy decree, and at the same time sent troops to surround Taiji Palace and sent people to pick up Li Zhi outside the city.

Xue Wanche and the others had not been able to fully control the Taiji Palace so far, and there were still a large number of Imperial Forest troops belonging to Jin Wuwei in the palace who confronted Xue Wanche's troops without receiving the emperor's order.

At this time, the benefits of Li Zhi taking away the jade seal and seal letter in time were revealed. Since Xue Wanche did not have a jade seal in his hand, his fake order to use other seals was refused to be executed.

Because there are the queen mother, the queen mother, and the concubines of each palace in the Taiji Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji also throws a mouse taboo, so he can only temporarily surround the Taiji Palace and dare not attack.

Xue Wanche and the others were busy all night, but the emperor and empress did not catch them, and they also lost a few good hands. I was about to escape from Chang'an City at dawn, but I didn't expect that the outside had been surrounded.

The eldest grandson Wuji sent people to read the holy decree outside the Taiji Palace, and several palace doors that were not taken by Xue Wanche were opened. The eldest grandson Wuji only sent troops to occupy the palace gate and did not continue to attack inward.

Some of Xue Wanche's subordinates also laid down their weapons and surrendered after reading the holy decree outside the palace gate, surrendering the occupied palace gate. The eldest grandson Wuji just sent troops to take over the palace gate and take those soldiers who surrendered outside the city to be guarded.

It was almost noon when most of Xue Wanche's subordinates gave up resistance, and in the end, only a few hundred people still gathered around Xue Wanche and the others. Xue Wanche and others, who had always thought that as long as they raised their arms, they would respond to everyone, only then did they realize that it had backfired.

The officers and soldiers outside the palace did not attack for a long time, and this kind of pressure was nothing to Xue Wanche, but the two second ancestors of Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu had already collapsed. They rushed out of the palace with their families, but were shot back by a flurry of arrows from the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate. Fortunately, these guards did not mean to hurt anyone, the arrows were all broken, and the feathered arrows were only a pain on the body.

Xue Wanche saw this kind of scene, and the order of the bachelor gathered around him, tied himself up with Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, and then surrendered to the Imperial Forest Army at the palace gate.

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu were very puzzled, and scolded Xue Wanche, Xue Wanche explained to them: "What are you arguing about, Lord Changsun is not afraid that there will be death in the palace if he doesn't come in, he can't wait for our dog to jump over the wall and kill innocents in the palace." As long as we do it, he has an excuse to immediately kill and cut down the roots, and if we don't have their connivance, we can get in? Do you have brains! Damn, we can't afford to be cheap anymore. ”

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu stopped talking now, and the person who instigated their mutiny once said that as long as they caught Li Zhi, they could turn the situation around. But they never thought that the mutiny would be so complicated, which was different from their imagination that as long as they brought troops into the palace, Li Zhi would have it at his fingertips.

Li Zhi not only ran away, but also abducted Yuxi and Yin Shun and ran smoothly, and they almost never caught Li Zhi's specific whereabouts during the whole process.

Things have developed to this point, everything is out of the predetermined assumption, the eldest grandson Wuji did not come out as the person said in the first time to announce his support for them to establish a new emperor, and he also quickly blocked the palace to cut off the connection between the palace and the outside world.

Xue Wanche doesn't understand politics, but he understands military affairs and can fight. Now in this situation, he could no longer think of the possibility of turning defeat into victory, and yesterday's military parade completely shook the morale of the army at the previous moment.

The people who are still there are all guards who have followed Xue Wanche to kill and sacrifice their lives, and most of the other soldiers have already surrendered.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was outside, said to Lin Ende: "The general can now lead the troops into the palace to sweep away the remnants, which is a great achievement." ”

Lin Ende smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Eldest Sun for your kindness, before Lin left, His Majesty repeatedly explained that as long as the holy decree is handed over to the adult, the Lingnan Army is not allowed to enter the palace, and Lin does not dare to disobey the holy order." ”
