Great Qi Dynasty 08

When night fell, everyone had breakfast on the hillside and began to rest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xie Tong summoned a few people over and held a small meeting.

He asked, "Princess Jianing, can you tell us about the situation in Chang'an!"

Shi Jianing told the story of Chang'an, Li Zheng, the king of Wu, was framed and closed in prison by Tang Xizong, the situation is unknown, but it is certain that Li Zheng's more than 100,000 horses have all been taken under the command of Sima Xuan and have been brought to Tongguan, and it is an indisputable fact that Chang'an City is now empty.

Huo Zixin said, "From this point of view, it is very likely that our 20,000 horses will attack Chang'an, if we are lucky, we will capture Tang Xizong, force him to abdicate and make way for Xian, and let King Wu ascend the throne."

Shi Jianing immediately clapped his hands, obviously very interested in this matter.

On the other hand, Xie Tong frowned slightly, this matter was so big that he didn't dare to imagine it, this was no different from killing the king and usurping the throne.

Everyone fell silent, and Lao Lai suddenly said" Xie boy, this matter is considered space, just imagine, now Tang Xizong is mediocre, which leads to Sima Xuan's great power, can call the wind and rain, can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, if this battle wins, he will be arrogant, invincible in the world, if defeated, then Huang Chao into Chang'an, change the dynasty, there is nothing for us, and no matter what the success or failure, it is not the result we want, what we want is to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, if you want to do this, you must be in power, therefore, it is the best choice to promote King Wu to inherit the great cause, as long as he becomes the emperor, he can completely remove Sima Xuan and some other people from official positions, let us go into battle and beat the enemyto make our dreams come true. ”

Xie Tong listened and was silent.

Hong Shan said faintly, "Husband, Brother Lai's words are not unreasonable, the so-called success or failure is in this move." ”

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "This is tantamount to killing the king and usurping the throne, once it is not good, the world will be disrupted, besides, is Sima Xuan willing to obediently hand over his rights? What if he refuses to obey orders? After all, he is the one who holds the power, and if we return to Chang'an, we will be helpless."

Lao Lai said, "No, now Sima Xiangru is still outside the gate, he is overwhelmed, and it is not right to fight back to Chang'an, he does not have the courage to do so, at that time his situation is the same as that of Yuwen Yishuo now, sandwiched between the two armies, dilemma, at that time, we can complete the great cause in one fell swoop." ”

Seeing Xie Tong's hesitation, Hong Shan continued, "Brother Tong, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can not only realize our dreams, but also avenge many dead brothers, including my father and Big Brother Yi!"

Xie Tong smiled bitterly, "It's not that Xie doesn't want to do this, but it's too difficult, such a thing is difficult to control, once it fails, there is no way out." ”

Hong Shan clenched his hand and said, "Manly man, if we don't break it, we don't stand up, we are for the people of the world, not for our own selfish desires, as long as we are worthy of our hearts, why not!"

Xie Tong was impassioned by Hong Shan's words, and finally said, "Okay, that's it, but let's not hurt the saint, pass on my order, the whole army will set off tomorrow morning and head for Chang'an, remember, although Chang'an is empty, the royal guards are still there, and they are still superior to us in numbers, so don't despise the enemy."

The crowd cheered, and they finally saw the hope of success.

After a few days of driving, everyone marched towards Chang'an, and finally before dusk on the fourth day, resisted ten miles outside Chang'an City, Xie Tong did not dare to enter the city blatantly, and because Chang'an was empty, the city guard was also very cautious, and the night was imposed early, and the city gate was closed at ten o'clock at dusk.

Xie Tong was busy discussing countermeasures with everyone, and after careful analysis, he decided to disguise himself and enter the city in batches, the number of people entering the city was about 1,000 people, and the rest were outside the city, not that Xie Tong did not want the army to enter the city, but if so many people entered the city, they would have no fixed place to live, and secondly, it would be easy to arouse the suspicion of the defenders.

Lao Lai entered the city first, and had already found out that Li Zheng, the king of Wu, was nominally imprisoned, but in fact he was under house arrest, he was under house arrest in the palace in the west of the city, and it was difficult to move an inch, and the person who guarded him was the Holy Praetorian Guard.

What they have to do is two things, rescue Li Zheng, the king of Wu, and at the same time enter the palace, capture Tang Xizong alive, force him to abdicate and make way for Xian, and tell the world that these two things must be carried out at the same time, otherwise Tang Xizong's interrogation must be strictly guarded, Xie Tong and these people will not have a chance.

It's a big headache.

Everyone entered the city for several days, but they didn't figure out how to do it, firstly, Tang Xizong guarded Li Zheng very tightly, and secondly, the palace city was fortified, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if there was no response, it was difficult to find a breakthrough. There is also a problem with time, Sima Xuan and Huangchao are about to fight, there is no news ahead, with Sima Xuan's character, although he is politically sophisticated, but after all, he does not understand military affairs, he needs to fight quickly, because Chang'an is too dangerous, he can't take the risk of leaving Chang'an in an empty state for a long time, Xie Tong must hurry up, before the war, everything will be dealt with, and once the war comes to fruition, it will be meaningless to do anything, Sima Xuan returned with a big victory, naturally he will not put them in his eyes, and will bewitch the people of the world, and Huangchao's big victory, he will go straight to Huanglong, the Tang Empire no longer exists, this time is what he must master, and after these brothers entered the city, they did not have an idle place to live, and they have been living on the streets.

Seven days after Xie Tong entered the city, he had no clue, he walked four or five laps outside the palace walls alone, and found that the imperial city guards were not ordinarily strict, and with his strength, it was difficult to cross this barrier.

On the other hand, Lao Lai's side has already explored the place where King Wu was imprisoned in the west of the city, and the guards are not much, only more than 200 people, with their current strength, they can completely forcibly attack the palace.

On the evening of the seventh day, Xie Tong, Lao Lai, Huo Zixin and other seven people gathered again in a private house in the south of the city to discuss.

This private house is the original residence of Huo Zixin in Luoyang, which has been uninhabited for a long time and has been dilapidated, fortunately, they can sit back and discuss here without fear of being disturbed.

After Xie Tong analyzed the current situation, he said, "Time waits for no one, we must make a decision, after dusk tomorrow, Brother Lai will lead three hundred men and horses to storm the palace, Huo Xiaozi will return to the outside of the city, and command the army to storm the east city gate, and we should join forces inside and outside, Wu Zhiting, Nightingale, Cai Wei and Shan'er will lead five hundred men and horses with me to take the east city gate in one fell swoop, after the army enters the city, do not make the slightest stay, directly attack the city, after dawn, you go out of the city to deploy."

Everyone listened to it and was well prepared.

After Xie Tong and the others were deployed, he left the residence alone, planning to go down the imperial city again, and finally explore the terrain and make final preparations.

Xie Tong walked through the lively streets, as well as the scenic Tianjin Bridge, the streets on both sides are still brightly lit, there is no trace of any calm before the wind and rain, giving people a sign of peace and prosperity, singing and dancing, it is difficult for him to associate everything in front of him with the war in the Central Plains, maybe it is too comfortable! The people of Chang'an are used to living a comfortable life, and they no longer know what the people of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River are living, and those high-ranking officials and nobles, what are they doing!

Except for enjoying life, he doesn't care about everything outside the city.

Xie Tong walked for a long time, sighed in his heart, and unconsciously came to the outside of the imperial city, the city wall was still towering, he couldn't help sighing, tomorrow, I don't know how many brothers will spill blood here, but for the advent of the new century, he doesn't think this is a selfish thing, for the people of the world, for the birth of a new order, all this is worth it.

It's just that this city wall is too tall, and his 20,000 horses really don't have a high chance of winning.

Just thinking about it, there was a creak, and the gate of the imperial city suddenly opened, and five or six beautiful carriages, accompanied by more than ten soldiers, drove out of the imperial city.

Xie Tong saw it really, these five or six carriages, all of which were ridden by women, it seemed that it should be a certain dance troupe, in the capital, the dance troupe entered the city to perform, it is a common thing, the royal relatives, the prince and the princess, the princess, etc., all like to watch singing and dancing, watching acrobatics, but Xie Tong did not expect that such a national disaster is extreme, I don't know which person is so big-hearted, and has the heart to watch the performance, it is simply nonsense.

He cursed a few words in his heart, and suddenly an extremely bold idea came to his mind, the acrobatic troupe, he can completely blend into the acrobatic troupe, so the trick is repeated, the inside and the outside should be combined to open the door of the palace, let the brothers rush in, in this way, great things can be done.

It is especially important to blend in with this acrobatic troupe.

Xie Tong watched the vehicles of the acrobatic troupe leave, and then followed from a distance, and after a while, the vehicles drove into the bustling streets, and several cars parked side by side in front of the Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion.

Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion Xie Tong is very familiar, and the nightingale is where he got acquainted.

Although this is an official brothel, it is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

It seems that the people from the painting pavilion went to the palace to perform.

Xie Tong hid his body and slowly observed the carriage, a plan was formed in his mind, since he knew that it was the person who painted the incense, the nightingale must have a way to break into the interior.

Suddenly, the door of the first carriage opened, and a graceful beauty walked out of the door, Xie Tong only saw her face, and his mind boomed, this person is too familiar, and the familiar ones are about to forget, isn't this Shen Lian, the wife of the owner of Xitong Ancient Village?

Thinking of the past in Xitong Ancient Village, it has been a few years, she just claimed that she would go to Chang'an, but she didn't expect to appear here, but I don't know if her temperament has changed greatly, if it hasn't changed, Xie Tong is kind to her, I think it will be a thankful retribution!

I saw Shen Lian Shi Ran walking into the Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion, followed by a group of men and women, very majestic, it seems that this Shen Lian is also very good in the Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion.

After everyone left, Xie Tong sorted out his chaotic mood and swaggered into the painting pavilion.

Several subordinates immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on their faces, "This master is invited, but there is a favorite girl!"

Xie Tong originally wanted to ask Shen Lian to accompany him, but suddenly thought that he didn't know Shen Lian's stage name, this has a rule in brothels, whether it is an official prostitute or a private prostitute, they use a stage name, and no one will know your real name.

Seeing Xie Tong's hesitation, the next person said, "The girls in this store are all in place, and they are not selling their bodies, this master should know this! Whether it is blowing, playing and singing, or poetry and singing, the girls in this store are all available, no matter who you order to accompany you, you will not be disappointed." ”

Xie Tong thought that since Shen Lian was able to enter the palace for the first time, he thought that the prestige of this Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion should not be low, and said with a smile, "Which girl here is the most famous!"

The subordinate who received him said, "This master can ask the right person, the most famous girl in this store should be Fengwu girl, she can be said to be proficient in everything, but she has been performing for a big family these days, and she is very busy, I am afraid that I will not have time to drink and chat with the guests." ”

Xie Tong's eyes lit up, although this person did not tell the truth, but the information revealed was already very clear, this Feng Wu should be Shen Lian Undoubtedly, thinking of this, Xie Tong took out a pile of silver from his arms, which was five taels, threw it away from the hands of his subordinates, and said, "This silver is for you, take me to Feng Wu Girl's room!"

The subordinate is accustomed to seeing the dignitaries and nobles, but no one has ever seen the girl before, he is so generous, he took the silver very happy, but still raised the corners of his eyebrows, and said, "More of this lord's reward, but the villain is just a subordinate, there is no right, can only take you to the room of the Fengwu girl, as for whether she is willing to accompany you, the small one can not be the master, everything depends on your creation." ”

Xie Tong turned his face and said, "Don't be verbose, do you care about those few taels of silver, what rewards you is what you reward, don't lead the way ahead!"

This person happily walked in front, went up the stairs all the way, went straight to the second floor, Xie Tong's hometown revisited, of course, touching the scene, this Feng Wu's room happened to be next door to the nightingale, only to see the next person knock on Feng Wu's room, and said in a low voice, "Miss, there is a guest who wants to see you! Do you have time?"

Feng Wu's tired voice came from inside the house, and said, "This girl is tired and refuses to see guests!

With a helpless look on his face, he glanced at Xie Tong in a panic, and unconsciously touched the five taels of silver with his right hand.

Xie Tong took a long breath and said with a smile, "I write a poem and give it to the girl, if the girl likes it, I will open the door and see it, if I don't like it, I will leave."

He paused, didn't wait for the answer in the house, and said, "There is a village on the east side of the Xijiang River, the copper gate wooden tile shines on the Qinglin, and the ancient color can't be kept. ”

This poem is not good, there is no literature and art at all, the subordinates of this painting pavilion laughed out loud, what kind of dignitaries and scholars he has never seen, but he is the first person to write such a bad poem, but this person is still very arrogant, and he wants to impress the Fengwu girl with such a poem without a level, it is really a big laugh off people's big teeth, he can't bear to see the scene of this generous person refusing to do so.
