Chapter 671 Sun and Moon Two Gates
The smoke of the beacon tower cannot be seen at night, and all that can be seen is the light of the fire.
The first thing that will be alarmed is the Imperial City Guards, that is, the left and right reserve mansions.
On duty in the imperial city tonight, Zhang Jin, the general of the Left Reserve Mansion, and the two generals Xiao Ling and Shi Wei are all there.
Xiao Jue is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, and Shi Wei is the younger brother of Shi Xiang.
It can be said that all three of them are royalists.
Jing Yuanheng, the general of the Right Reserve Mansion, is not in the Imperial City, but in Luoyang City, the two generals Pei Qiantong and Wei Kuangbo are on duty in Ziwei City tonight.
Among them, Wei Kuangbo holds three positions, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the Right Reserve Mansion, and the Long History of King Qin, and he lives in the Ministry of Officials tonight.
As the smoke rose, as long as everyone was in Ziwei City, all of them got up, Zhang Jin urgently dispatched the army, and first sent Shi Wei to lead 3,000 people to the Huiyou Hall to escort them to find out what was going on.
Then he sent someone to leave the imperial city and informed Jing Yuanheng, who was outside, to immediately reorganize his troops and horses to support the imperial city at any time.
There are a total of 72,000 people in the left and right reserve mansions, half of them are in the palace, and half of them are in the guard outside the palace, Zhang Jin knows what will happen tonight, so he ordered the army in the palace to be on standby, and at this moment he is constantly sending out arrow signals, and summoning the guards guarding the palaces in each hall to immediately converge on the Huiyou Hall where the emperor is located.
He didn't think that anything would happen to the emperor, after all, there were hussars from the sect, and there was smoke from the Xuanwu Gate, and at least five or six thousand people would rush to the emperor's place at the first time, so Yang Guang's safety would definitely not be a problem.
Until he bumped into Yang Zhiji.
Entering the Huiyou Hall from the south, there are two city gates, these two city gates are set up at the east and west ends of the corridor outside the hall, and they are also the only two entrances of the Huiyou Palace.
One is called the day gate, the month gate.
On the upper floor of the city gate of the day gate, it is Yang Zhiji, and on the upper floor of the city gate of the moon gate, it is a lonely machine.
Why didn't these two men open the gates for him? There is Yang Guang's edict in his hand, of course, Fang Xuanling wrote it, so it can't be easily shown to others, because all the edicts against the military government have small skills, and the number one general can distinguish the serious from the fake at a glance.
Therefore, Yang Daoxuan's people are now going to arrest Yu Shinan, and only this old boy knows the code of the edicts of various military governments.
"Teng Guogong, please open the city gate quickly, and let me lead the army to escort you," Shi Wei didn't go in at all.
Duguji stood on the city gate, holding the edict in his hand and said: "Your Majesty is fine, where did you get the escort?" I am here to be, you don't have to worry, there is a big battle outside the Xuanwu Gate, I don't know the situation for the time being, you quickly send someone to investigate clearly, so as to report to Your Majesty. ”
Will Shi Wei listen to him? If I can't see the emperor, I won't listen to anyone.
"Teng Guogong, what do you want to do?" Shi Wei said: "I have the responsibility to escort, you dare to stop me?" ”
Dugu Su reprimanded angrily: "Leading the army into the palace, are you escorting or rebelling?" Whoever dares to stir up trouble will be condemned as rebellion. ”
The generals behind Shi Wei suddenly hesitated, indeed, there are clan hussars in the Huiyou Palace, and there is an edict in the hands of the Duke of Tengguo, so they don't dare to enter.
Isn't it also an escort to stay here?
On the other hand, Zhang Jin wouldn't talk nonsense with Yang Zhiji, because he knew what would happen tonight, and he didn't believe that Yang Zhiji would have an edict in his hands at all, but Shi Wei didn't know.
When he saw Yang Zhiji standing on the city gate, he knew that something was wrong tonight, so he urgently sent someone to the treasury of Weiwei Temple to allocate siege equipment, and he wanted to storm the Sun Gate.
"King Cai, you can be accommodating, let me see Your Majesty," Zhang Jin was trying to find a way to stabilize Yang Zhiji.
Yang Zhiji, he is already iron-hearted, he is going to do a big ticket tonight, if Yang Ming succeeds, he won't say anything, if Yang Ming is defeated, he will immediately send troops to kill Yang Guang and Yang Ming, as for Zhang Jin, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Zhang Jin is a lonely minister, he was promoted by Yang Guang all the way, and he was also one of the seven nobles of Cao in history, but this person does not have a strong family as a backer.
In the Great Sui, the strength of the gate valve is very terrifying, take these Janissaries behind Zhang Jin as an example, the leaders inside are ninety percent better than his background, and most of them are the children of the gate valve in Guanzhong and the gate valve in Hedong.
These people already have their own positions, and usually, they still listen to Zhang Jin's words, but once they encounter a major event, Zhang Jin may not be able to control them.
The first person to be puzzled was Xue Shixiong's second son Xue Wanshu, only to see him frowning and saying: "Since King Cai is here and holds the edict in his hand, then Your Majesty will definitely be fine, and we will attack it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”
The eighth son who came to Hu'er also said: "Does the general have any doubts, you can make it clear to the brothers." ”
Other generals chimed in.
Can this be said? I didn't dare to say it, Zhang Jin also sensed that something was wrong with the army's heart, and hurriedly said:
"I am at the behest of Your Majesty, garrisoning the palace city, on the occasion of this incident, you must see Your Majesty's holy face to be at ease, you don't have to worry, if Your Majesty is to blame, I will bear it alone, we are the escort, Your Majesty will not blame."
Yang Zhiji's influence is here, he is the last checkpoint to nominally protect Yang Guang, the leader of the Hussars of the Sect.
This army can't be managed by the left and right reserve governments, they are at the same level.
However, the clan hussars represent the position of the clan, and everyone will not believe that the clan will target the emperor, so everyone does not dare to attack the city.
The siege equipment was also sent over, and Zhang Jin ordered to hit the door and climb the wall, but there were not many real hands.
Some of them really don't dare, and some of them have already been instructed by Yang Zhiji.
In the final analysis, although Zuo Beishenfu has been replaced, the basic plate is still Yang Zhiji's person, to be precise, Yang Jian's person.
Some of those who climbed the wall were shot as soon as they got to the top of the wall, and across the wall someone shouted:
"Whoever dares to come over again, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and the sword of the Zongtuan Mansion will not recognize people."
Zhang Jin panicked suddenly, he had already realized that the emperor was very likely to be controlled, otherwise the Zongtuan Mansion would not let him see the emperor.
So he hurriedly said: "Yang Zhiji pretended to pass on the will, and the sons and daughters followed me to escort King Qin." ”
His words are still very effective, but in the narrow corridor, it is already crowded, and those who are willing to attack the city and those who are unwilling to attack the city are crowded together, and it is a mess.
Immediately, dozens of people picked up the giant tree and began to pound the city gate.
On the city gate, Yang Zhiji said loudly: "Zhang Jin rebelled, there was an incident in the palace, everyone was punished, and those who attacked the city and climbed the wall will be killed!" ”
The feathered arrows began to shoot at the siege guards, and those who stood still were not their targets.
Yang Zhiji didn't dare to shoot indiscriminately, otherwise he would provoke the people below, and he wouldn't be able to bear it.
At the same time, Jing Yuanheng, who received the news outside the imperial city, hurriedly sent flag officials to send messages to various guards, and the Praetorian Guards guarding outside rushed in the direction of Wufeng Tower.
As for Su Lie, he sent people to keep an eye on Jing Yuanheng early, and Jing Yuanheng, who had just left the Wei Mansion, was suddenly rained with arrows by hundreds of guards who were ambushed in the dark part of the street.
A generation of generals died in such an unknown way.
As soon as Su Lie discovered the beacon fire, he rushed to Wufeng Tower with the three thousand martial guards of the Hussar General's Mansion, and shouted to Yang Qing, the general of the city gate:
"There is a change in the city, I will receive news that someone is going to storm the imperial city, the rebels are ghosts in the military palace, I will guard the outside of the city, King Wen must not open the city gate!"
When King Wen Yang Qing heard this, he panicked instantly, why is there an accident in the palace, and something outside the palace?
One inside and one outside, which bastard lit the fire?
I saw him hurriedly shouting: "There is Lao Dai Guogong, and this king will provide you with support on the city wall." ”
In Luoyang City, all seven parts of the soldiers and horses moved.
Shi Shen and Guo Rong, who had been prepared, were about to arrive at the pontoon bridge, and after crossing the bridge, they could support the north of the city, and Li Jing and Yang Yuanqing followed, although the two of them were also prepared, but they didn't know that it would be tonight, so they reacted a little slower, but they would go over, because they were taking Pei Xingfang's east bridge.
As for the Netherworld, there is no need to cross the bridge, because he is just to the north.
Before Shi Shen and Guo Rong's army arrived at Tianjin Bridge, they saw the flames burning more and more intensely, so they didn't have time to trouble those guards, leaving some of them to extinguish the fire, and the rest hurried to the middle and east bridges.
"General Yu, the middle bridge is also on fire, and now only the east bridge can walk, and the Longxi County Duke is crossing the bridge from there."
There are reports from the guards.
"Not good!" Shi Shen was anxious: "I can't let Li Jing pass, Li Jing intends to rebel, and the sons and daughters will follow me to kill the enemy and defend the country." ”
In this way, the two armies quickly approached in the direction of the East Bridge.
How many people can cross a bridge? I can't get by.
Yang Yuanqing knew that if Li Jing couldn't pass, Su Lie would be finished, so he took his soldiers and the children of the Hongnong Yang family who rushed from home to support, and guarded the main roads of Zhong'an Fang, Huici Fang, Hehui Fang, and Litong Fang to block the incoming army and provide Li Jing with an opportunity to cross the river.
The earth-shattering battle resounded through Luoyang, and the first rays of dawn in the morning were slowly appearing on the eastern horizon.
Downstairs in Wufeng, the leaderless army of the Right Reserve Mansion has gathered.
The two generals Pei Qiantong and Wei Kuangbo are in the imperial city, and the general Jing Yuanheng is hanging up again, and the current person in charge is Shi Wei Yongli, the head of the reserve mansion.
"Dai Guogong, what the hell is going on?" Wei Yongli said anxiously: "Before the general was killed by the thieves, he ordered us to quickly enter the palace to escort King Qin, what happened to Your Majesty?" ”
Su Lie explained: "I don't know, but I received information that someone wants to storm the imperial city, so I will stay here and not allow anyone to enter, and you should not go in." ”
"That's not going to work!" Wei Yongli said: "The Reserve Mansion has the responsibility of escorting, the Prison Gate Mansion must not stop it, and the Hussar Mansion can't control us, so it's better for you to get out of the way, so as not to make a move, and we will hurt the peace." ”
Su Lie raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you be the master?" Where are General Pei and General Wei? ”
"They're in the Imperial City," Wei Yong said.
Su Lie pretended to be silent for a moment, and said: "The stakes are very high, I don't dare to let you in easily, but you can ask the two generals to come over and inquire about what the situation in the palace is, and I will make a decision." ”
"Then you should hurry up," Wei Yongli said urgently.
So Su Lie shouted to Yang Qing on the city gate, hoping to invite Pei Qiantong and Wei Kuangbo to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
Although Pei Qiantong was picked up by Yang Guang and belonged to Yang Guang's absolute confidant, this person was one of the main planners of the Jiangdu Palace Revolution in history.
Yu Wenhua, Sima Dejiao, and Pei Qiantong are the three musketeers who killed the king, and Sima Dejiao was an eagle general when he went north, and he was already hanging.
As for Wei Kuangbo and Wei Yongli, they are both from Xunguo Mansion and are cousins, Wei Kuangbo is Wei Xiaokuan's grandson, and Wei Yongli is Wei Xiaogu's grandson.
Whether the Right Reserve Mansion will fight with Su Lie outside the city gate depends on the attitude of Pei and Wei.
