In the official room, Wu Chongxun was pacing back and forth anxiously, at the end of the night watch, his father was going to launch an attack on the Taichu Palace, and he must occupy the south gate of the round wall before that, and cut off the key passage for the Yulin Army and the cavalry of the Xiyuan Thousand Cavalry Battalion to enter the palace.

Now that the time is less, the Yulin Army will change shifts at the right time, and he will also take over the south gate of the Yuanbi at that time, while the Xuanwu Gate further south is in the hands of the prison guards.

There was still half an hour, Wu Chongxun was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, at this time, his tea boy came in with a cup of hot tea, put the tea beside him, and slowly bowed his head and retreated, the tea boy's legs were shaking, but Wu Chongxun was worried and didn't notice this detail.

He took a sip of tea slowly, calmed down a little, he took a few sips of tea in a row, and let his nervous heart recover as much as possible, at this moment, the tea boy could no longer hold back the fear in his heart, screamed, turned around and ran, Wu Chongxun was stunned, and walked quickly to the door, but he only took two steps, suddenly pinched his heart, and slowly squatted down, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't, reached out to grab the sword on the wall, but finally fell to the ground, his body curled up into a ball.

The two soldiers rushed into the room, and when they saw Wu Chongxun lying to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and dying, the soldiers immediately shouted in fright, "Someone! ”

Wu Yanji and Yang Yuanyan, who were ambushed on the periphery, heard the shout, Wu Yanji jumped up, and ordered his subordinates: "Surround the official room and kill all the pro-soldiers!"

Yang Yuanyan led a thousand soldiers to separate Wu Chongxun's official room from the camp to prevent chaos in the camp, at this time Wu Yanji led 500 soldiers to kill from all directions, and instantly surrounded Wu Chongxun's official room, dozens of personal soldiers could not escape, and were killed by all the chaotic troops.

Wu Yanji rushed into the room with a knife, and when he saw Wu Chongxun lying to the ground, black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and touched Wu Chongxun's snort, and he was already out of breath.

Wu Yanji sneered, "Do you have today?"

He raised his sword and cut off Wu Chongxun's head, only to hear Yang Yuanyan shouting outside, "Listen to the three armies, Wu Sansi is trying to rebel and kill the king, and the Yulin army should defend the palace, obey the order of the saint, and do not allow riots, and those who make trouble will be beheaded!"

After all, Wu Chongxun's killing only caused a commotion in a small area, and under Yang Yuanyan's both soft and hard appeasement, he gradually calmed down.

Soon, the Longguang Gate leading to Xiyuan opened, and Li Zhen led 10,000 cavalry into Yuanbi City, and Li Xian, the king of Luling, also appeared in the team.

At this time, Wu Yanji hurriedly stepped forward to meet Li Xian, "See Your Highness Wu Yanji!"

Li Xian smiled and comforted him: "General Wu can recognize the situation and choose to support the Tang Dynasty, Gu is deeply gratified, and I hope that General Wu can persuade other Wu clan people to rein in the precipice, and Gu will give the Wu family a way out." ”

This was Li Xian's official promise, Wu Yanji was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is willing to persuade the Wu family to fully support His Highness's accession to the throne." ”

Li Xian nodded, his eyes turned to Li Zhen, tonight Li Zhen is the commander of the overall situation, Li Zhen asked again: "What is the situation in Xuanwu Gate?"

Wu Yanji hurriedly said: "General Qiyu, the Xuanwu Gate is about two hundred steps away from the south gate of the Yuanbi, and it is not as tall as the South Gate of the Yuanbi, and the defenders of the Xuanwu Gate will not find out the situation in the Yuanbi City." ”

"Please General Wu guard the south gate of the round wall, keep the city quiet, and not let our movements be discovered in the palace. ”

"Obey the order!" Wu Yanji saluted and retreated.

At this time, Li Xian smiled and asked, "General Li, what do we need to do now?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Your Highness, now we just need to wait. ”

Time gradually came to a watch, Wu Sansi father and son led three thousand warriors to arrive at the Zuoye Gate outside the imperial city, three thousand warriors are also Wu Sansi raised in the manor outside the city, with ten days to enter the city from outside the city, into Wu Sansi's Liang Wangfu.

The left gate is also the city gate controlled by Wu Yizong, at this time the city gate slowly opened, Wu Sansi was overjoyed, with a wave of his hand, three thousand warriors quickly poured into the city gate, and under the leadership of Wu Chonglie and Wu Jizhi, they rushed to the Chongguang Gate of the East Palace, at this time, Cao Wen began to worry inexplicably in his heart, and said in a low voice Wu Sansi: "Should we be more stable?"

Wu Sansi had been carried away by the ** who had ascended the throne at this time, where could he still hear any advice, he saw the fear in Cao Wen's eyes, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You can't stand it at a critical time, and you can't become a bastard of big things!"

Wu San turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of the East Palace, but Cao Wen had no choice but to urge the horse to follow.

There are two ways to enter the palace from the imperial city, one is to take the Yingtian Gate, which is the central city gate, guarded by heavy soldiers, and the second way is to take the East Palace, the East Palace Mingde Gate is connected to the palace city, this is a small gate, usually not opened, but tonight will become the key to Wu Sansi to enter the palace city.

Wu Sansi made careful arrangements, his eldest son Wu Chongxun will control the south gate of the Yuanbi, and lead the army from the north Xuanwu Gate into the Taichu Palace, and meet him in the Ming Hall, the two armies will enter the Hall of Eternal Life, kill Erzhang and control the Shengshang, and then the Shengxia will abdicate, and he Wu Sansi will ascend the throne.

As long as it is a fait accompli, then Wu Youyi, who is in charge of the Yulin Army, and Wu Yizong, who is in charge of the guards, will naturally submit to him, as for whether Li Zhen's Qiancai battalion is willing to submit or not, it depends on the outcome of their negotiations, Wu Sansi believes that as long as he gives Li Zhen conditions that he cannot refuse, Li Zhen will eventually be loyal to him.

It can be seen that Wu Yizong is very cooperative, Wu Sansi's army is surprisingly smooth, three thousand warriors entered the Chongguang Gate and entered the East Palace, Wu Sansi was extremely excited, and the battle sword pointed at the dark Mingde Gate in the distance, "Rush up!"

Three thousand warriors rushed to the Mingde Gate, but the accident happened, the Mingde Gate did not open like the Zuoye Gate and the Chongguang Gate, and they did not move at all, and the warriors who rushed to the city gate were panicked, and they all turned back to Wu Sansi.

Wu Sansi was also puzzled in his heart, what was going on, did Wu Yizong make a mistake in the plan? It should be impossible, open the Chongguang Gate, then the next step must be the Mingde Gate.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door slamming in the distance, and everyone looked back, only to see that the Chongguang Gate had been closed, and the three thousand warriors were even more hurried, and Wu Sansi's heart finally gave birth to a trace of mishap.

Suddenly, several halls of the East Palace erupted with shouts of killing, and countless black shadows came out from various buildings, rushing straight to Wu Sansi's team, and the warriors behind were caught off guard, and there was a big chaos.

"Father, we've been tricked!"

Wu Chonglie was so anxious that he shouted, Wu Sansi was flustered in his heart, turned his horse's head and ran towards Chongguangmen, Wu Chonglie and Wu Jizhi waved their arms and shouted: "Kill me with me!"

The two brothers took the lead and rushed to the front, Cao Wen was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he fled, at this time, a cold arrow came and hit his war horse, the horse sparsely neighed, and the front hooves were raised high, Cao Wen did not grasp it steadily, and was overturned off the war horse.

Before he could get up, more than a thousand warriors from behind him rushed and fled, overturning him again, Cao Wen was trampled by countless panicked warriors, screaming and wailing, and gradually lost his voice.

When the warrior fled away, leaving only a bloody corpse under the Mingde Gate, on the city gate, Wu Yizong looked coldly at Cao Wen who was trampled to death, he shook his head, if he promised Wu Sansi, I am afraid he will also end up like this.

Wu Chonglie and Wu Jizhi just ran to the Chongguang Gate, more than 1,000 soldiers ambushed on the Chongguang Gate released arrows together, the arrows were like rain, whistling and shooting, Wu Chonglie and Wu Jizhi were caught off guard, dozens of arrows were in their bodies, the two were shot like hedgehogs, even people and horses fell to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers also fell down with arrows, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and the rest of the soldiers turned around and fled in fright.

Wu Sansi could see clearly in the back, the two sons were hit by arrows and landed, he was anxious and hateful in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

There was a scuffle in the East Palace, the shouts of killing shook the sky, Wu Sansi's army became less and less the more they fought, and the rest of the warriors saw that the general trend had gone, and they knelt down and surrendered, and Wu Sansi was also caught by more than a dozen soldiers.

At this time, a group of people walked out of the main hall of the East Palace, and the person at the head was Princess Taiping, followed by Gao Jian and more than a dozen generals, Princess Taiping was so proud that she almost laughed wildly.

She got the last support of Erzhang, and led the 2,000 generals of the Taiping Mansion and the 1,000 internal guard soldiers led by Han Zhishou to ambush in the East Palace first, and Wu Yizong sent 3,000 prison guards to assist him in ambushing Wu Sansi, and finally let her successfully kill Wu Sansi.

At this time, several soldiers escorted Wu Sansi up, Wu Sansi was wounded by an arrow, his body was very weak, Princess Taiping walked up to him and smiled: "How, it finally fell into my hands." ”

"Slut!" Wu Sansi scolded.

Princess Taiping raised her hand and slapped him, and shouted: "Drag him down and hang him!"

Princess Taiping's heart is as hard as iron, and at this critical moment, she will never leave Wu Sansi to let the Zhang brothers change their minds.

Two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, strangled Wu Sansi with a rope, and then some soldiers dumped his body high on the mast and shouted at the Chongguang Gate: "Wu Sansi is dead!"

Princess Taiping looked at Chongguangmen with her hands in her hands, she believed that at this time, the Zhang brothers had no choice......

According to the plan, Wu Youyi would relieve Wu Chongxun of his military position before and after the first watch, and divide his troops into two routes, one led by Wu Yanji to enter the Taichu Palace and join Princess Taiping, and the other was led by Wu Youyi himself, guarding the Longguang Gate and the south gate of the Yuanbi to prevent Li Zhen's thousand cavalry battalions and internal guards from entering the palace.

But the army that should be led by Wu Yanji did not show up for a long time, on the Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Yizhi stared at the south gate of the round wall two hundred steps away for a long time, and he said to Zhang Changzong suspiciously: "Didn't Wu Youyi kill Wu Chongxun successfully?"

Zhang Changzong shook his head, "If it doesn't succeed, there will definitely be chaos in Yuanbi City, and there will be infighting in the Yulin Army, it is impossible to be so quiet, maybe it hasn't succeeded yet, wait a little longer!"

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "Qiqi two generals, the East Palace has ended the rebellion, Wu Sansi was killed, and Princess Taiping asked to open the door to enter the palace." ”

Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong glanced at each other, a kind of uneasiness swelled in Zhang Yi's heart, and his intuition told him that he could not let Princess Taiping enter the Taichu Palace until he solved the doubts of Yuanbi City, and he hurriedly said: "Tell Wu Yizong, let him appease Her Royal Highness the princess, and wait a little longer." ”

The soldiers galloped away, and after another moment, a soldier pointed to the south gate of the round wall and shouted: "Look, there is movement!"

I saw that the south gate of the round wall was slowly opened, and a Yulin army lined up to enter, and the general at the head seemed to be Wu Yanji, this team was not much, only more than 1,000 people, and when they arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, Wu Yanji shouted: "Change the dynasty, and the light will be reopened!"

This is tonight's secret password, only Wu Yanji knows, this is to prevent the appearance of fake Wu Yanji, Zhang Yizhi walked out of the city and asked: "General Wu, why has it been delayed until now?"

Wu Yanji didn't expect Zhang Yizhi to be at the palace gate, he hurriedly bowed down on the horse and said: "Back to General Zhang, there was a little accident, Wu Chongxun was injured and hid in the granary, and there were more than a hundred guards around him, and it took us a long time to kill him." ”

Wu Yanji ordered someone to throw Wu Chongxun's head on the city, and some soldiers presented the head to the Zhang brothers, the two looked at it, Zhang Changzong was about to order the door to be opened, but Zhang Yizhi waved his hand and asked, "What about Wu Youyi? Why didn't he come?"

"Returning to the general, General Wu is stabilizing the morale of the army, especially under Wu Chongxun's subordinates, he is worried that there will be infighting. ”

On the round wall door, Li Zhen was watching the situation of the Xuanwu Gate from a distance, and when he saw that the Xuanwu Gate had not been opened for a long time, he knew that Er Zhang must have been suspicious, and immediately beckoned to Li Zhan in the distance.

At this time, Zhang Changzong asked Zhang Yizhi in a low voice: "Does Wulang think there is a problem?"

Zhang Yizhi was silent, he didn't think it was a problem, he was a little worried that after Wu Yanji came in and took control of the palace, how would Princess Taiping deal with their brothers, did he want to leave some leeway.

Suddenly, there was a faint shouting of killing in the distance, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were startled, and hurriedly looked into the distance, it seemed to be the shouting and killing sound from the north gate of the round wall, only to see a cavalry rushing over, holding an arrow and shouting: "General Qiyu, the thousand cavalry battalion has begun to attack Longguang Gate, the general hopes that Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping will come to negotiate with Li Zhen immediately, otherwise, the thousand cavalry battalion will attack the city gate, and the situation will be uncontrollable." ”

Zhang Changzong was in a hurry and glared at Zhang Yizhi angrily: "What are you waiting for!"

He immediately shouted: "Open the palace gate!"

Zhang Yizhi wanted to stop it again, but he began to have no bottom in his heart, and finally he didn't shout, and watched the palace gate open little by little.

A strong uneasiness suddenly hit his heart, and he shouted, "Close the palace gate!"
