Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2285
Early the next morning, Wei Wang Li Tai and the others continued to attack the city with soldiers and horses.

They are indeed ready to cooperate with the outside, but they think it is better to attack the city, otherwise the soldiers and horses in the city will definitely be very cautious, and even suspect something.

If the court finds out, their situation will be bad.

Continuing to attack the city is the most helpful thing for them.

The rebel army continued to attack the city, and Qin Shubao led soldiers and horses to stop them non-stop. Both sides suffered casualties, but the casualties of the rebel army were obviously greater.

But while the city gate was sieging and fighting non-stop, in the palace, Li Chengqian was calmly processing some memorials.

These memorials were sent over before, because of the war situation, the review of these memorials was temporarily interrupted, and Li Chengqian happened to come to review them now while he was not in court.

At this time, Yuan Lou asked to see him.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly ordered someone to call Yuan Lou.

"What's the matter with Yuan Aiqing?"

Yuan Lou nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have two pieces of news. The first one is that the soldiers and horses led by the King of Xiliang are very close to Chang'an City, and they may arrive within two or three days."

Hearing this news, Li Chengqian finally showed a hint of joy.

"The king of Xiliang came very quickly, which means that Tuyuhun couldn't stop them for a long time, and as long as we can hold on for a few days, when the king of Xiliang arrives with troops, the danger of Chang'an City will be lifted. "

This is definitely good news for Li Chengqian.

"What about the second message?"

"The second news is that our people discovered that some people in Chang'an City are very suspicious. They seem to be mobilizing troops and preparing to attack our city gate."

"Someone is suspicious?" Li Chengqian frowned, and then he understood something. Those vassal kings outside the city are all old foxes. They have been operating in Chang'an City for many years. There must be some of them in Chang'an City. .

If they can't attack Chang'an City, will they send people to attack the city gate at night and cooperate with them inside and out?
And once they cooperated internally and externally, the pressure on Qin Shubao and the others would increase. It might not be impossible for the city gate to be breached by the rebels.

Li Chengqian frowned, and at this moment, Yuan Lou said, "My lord, do you want to arrest these suspicious people?"

Li Chengqian looked up at Yuan Lou, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "No hurry, arresting them now won't help much, it's better to wait until they actually do it, and we'll do it again, and leave this matter to you Jin Yiwei is here, we must smash their plan of cooperating from inside to outside."

Yuan Lou responded quickly, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is absolutely no problem with this matter."

After saying this, Yuan Lou didn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.

What they have to do now is to let those people do it, and then deal with them after they jump out. In this way, no one will think that Li Chengqian is eradicating dissidents, and he is just putting down the rebellion.
-
Time passed slowly, the battles continued outside Chang'an City, and the undercurrent surged inside Chang'an City.

Soon, the time agreed by Li Zhi and the others arrived.

The moon is very bright this night, and the wind blows with a hint of coolness, sweeping away the sweltering heat of the day.

Li Zhi and Wei Wang Li Tai waited anxiously in the barracks after dark. They had to wait until almost midnight before they could leave the barracks and go to the city gate to meet with those inside and outside.

It's still early, so they have to wait.

Many soldiers took advantage of this time to step up their rest, but whether it was Wei Wang Li Tai or Jin Wang Li Zhi, they didn't feel sleepy now.

The night wind was blowing, and the sound of insects outside the big tent rang out from time to time.

Midnight was approaching, Jin Wang Li Zhi got up suddenly and left the camp with his soldiers and horses. Bring 25 soldiers and horses first, and the remaining soldiers and horses must be divided into several groups to rush over. Otherwise, if so many soldiers and horses are sent all at once, the soldiers in the city will definitely be noticed. At that time, their chance may fail. .

And just when they were about to rush towards Chang'an City, inside the city, Changsun Wuji had already marched towards Chang'an City with [-] soldiers and horses.

These ten thousand soldiers and horses, dressed in Tang Jun's clothes, pretended to be people who came to support.

And according to their plan, with Changsun Wuji leading the way, the people at the city gate will definitely not doubt it. It can be said that it will be easy to open the city gate when the time comes.

The marching speed of soldiers and horses was very fast. When midnight came, he had already arrived at the city gate. At this time, Cheng Chumo was in charge of guarding the city gate.

Cheng Chumo was a little surprised to see that Changsun Wuji had come.

"Master Changsun, what are you doing here with your soldiers and horses so late at night?"

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhangsun Wuji's mouth, and he said, "Come to defend the city, I am afraid that the rebels will attack the city, so I came to support."

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo became a little suspicious, and said, "Even for support, you don't need Mr. Changsun to come in person. Besides, where did your soldiers and horses come from?"

The dispatch of soldiers and horses is very strict, Changsun Wuji is not qualified to mobilize soldiers and horses at all, so the soldiers and horses behind him are very suspicious.

Seeing Cheng Chumo's doubts, Changsun Wuji was already a little impatient, the soldiers and horses outside the city would be here soon, if they continue to waste like this, something bad might happen.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji smiled coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Kill me."

As soon as he gave an order, the soldiers and horses behind him rushed over. Seeing this, Cheng Chumo was shocked, and said: "Changsun Wuji, do you want to plot rebellion?"

Changsun Wuji chuckled: "Rebellion, I want to rebel, what can you do to me, kill me, kill me."

Changsun Wuji yelled angrily, and the soldiers and horses behind him charged fiercely. At the same time, the rebels outside the city immediately launched an attack on the city after hearing the movement inside.

"My lord, the rebels outside the city attacked the city at night."

"What?" Cheng Chumo was a little anxious, but he still hadn't lost his sense of proportion. He said, "Send the signal to let the reinforcements come. Also, defend the city and absolutely prevent the rebels from attacking. The remaining soldiers and horses, even if I stop them The rebels in the city, "

Cheng Chumo quickly made some adjustments, and after he made arrangements like this, the battle at the gate of Chang'an City had already begun. The people behind Changsun Wuji could be said to be desperadoes, Most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were blocking the rebels outside the city, and there were not many who could fight the rebels inside the city.

Therefore, Cheng Chumo and the others were under a lot of pressure.

"Kill, kill me." Changsun Wuji was suddenly very excited, he saw hope.
