Man Tanghong

Chapter 521 Xuanwu Gate ([-])
Li Xiaogong stared and didn't want to speak.

Li Yuanji's face darkened, and he said, "Then I ordered to give up resistance?"

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Fuck you!"

Li Yuanji grinned and said, "That's right!"

To your bitch!
Li Xiaogong cursed in his heart.

Li Yuanji patted Li Xiaogong's shoulder again and said: "Cousin, help me is to help you. My second brother can do it to my brothers, and my elder brother is also going to do it to my brothers. Only I have never thought about this." thing.

So no matter if it's my eldest brother or my second brother, you won't have a good life.

So you can only help yourself to have a good life by helping me. "

Ha ha!

Li Xiaogong sneered in his heart, and cursed secretly in his heart, 'You are not a good person either'.

"Yuanji, don't slander me, I never thought of hurting any of you."

Li Jiancheng felt very uncomfortable hearing Li Yuanji speak ill of him in front of him, so he defended himself without hesitation.

Li Yuanji ignored Li Jiancheng, and Li Xiaogong ignored him.

They all knew what Li Jiancheng had done and what he was going to do, so how could they believe Li Jiancheng's nonsense.

To put it bluntly, if the current situation of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were switched, Li Jiancheng might be even more vicious than Li Shimin.

"Cousin, remember, after you take the Anli Gate, you must guard the Anli Gate firmly, and you can't let my second brother and the others leave, otherwise there will be a catastrophe in Great Tang."

Li Yuanji stared at Li Xiaogong with a solemn reminder.

This matter is the most important thing in this palace turmoil, and nothing can go wrong, otherwise, everyone who participated in this palace turmoil will become eternal sinners.

Seeing Li Yuanji's unprecedented seriousness, Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Okay, I've already made it clear what needs to be explained. Hurry up and go to Ganlu Gate and wait for the soldiers and horses from Zuojianmen Mansion to gather."

When the soldiers from Shenlongmen and Anrenmen arrived in front of Ganlu Hall, Li Yuanji signaled Li Xiaogong to leave.

The total number of soldiers from Ganlumen, Shenlongmen, and Anrenmen is 500, plus the 4000 Changlin soldiers under Li Jiancheng, plus the more than [-] episodes led by Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche brothers, there are almost [-] people. , if the Ganlu Palace is used as a barrier, it should be able to resist Li Shimin for a period of time.

The remaining soldiers and horses don't need to gather in Ganlu Hall anymore, just let Li Xiaogong lead them to Anli Gate.

After Li Xiaogong glared at Li Yuanji viciously, he left in a hurry.

After Li Xiaogong left, Li Yuanji told all the soldiers and horses in front of the Ganlu Hall, "Everyone enter the Ganlu Hall, rely on the Ganlu Hall, and fight against the rebels!"

Xue Wanshu and others, as well as the officers and soldiers of Ganlumen, Shenlongmen, and Anrenmen, rushed to Ganlu Hall without any hesitation.

Li Jiancheng still hesitated, and his people stood still.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng coldly and said, "If you don't want to die, hand over your people to me."

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Why should I trust you? What if you trick me into Ganlu Palace and want to do something wrong?"

Li Yuanji sneered, "It's up to you!"

After saying this, he entered the Ganlu Hall with a big knife in his hand.

Li Jiancheng stood where he was, his expression changed rapidly, he was struggling and hesitating.

Zhao Chengyong hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, His Highness King Qin is about to bring someone to kill him, and now is not the time to hesitate."

Li Jiancheng glared at Zhao Chengyong and said, "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Chengyong gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you just listen to His Royal Highness King Qi..."

Li Jiancheng looked at Zhao Chengyong with a look of looking at a traitor.

Zhao Chengyong raised his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the only one who can save you right now is His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Although His Royal Highness Qi made the defenders of Yiqiumen turn against each other before, which almost killed you forever, but His Royal Highness Qi He didn't mean to hurt you from the beginning to the end, on the contrary, he saved you at least twice.

So I think His Royal Highness King Qi should not hurt you. "

Li Jiancheng thought suspiciously about what happened after meeting Li Yuanji and Li Yuanji's people.

It's just that Li Shimin's men killed him before he considered some details he needed.

A crossbow spear with a strong wind rubbed against his shoulder and nailed to his back, scraping a large piece of flesh from his shoulder.

He felt the burning pain from his shoulder, and also felt a chill rushing from the tail bone to the Tianling Gai.

Without any hesitation, he said to Zhao Chengyong: "I'll just trust you once, if you harm me, I will hold you back even if I die."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Chengyong to react, he hurriedly led people to the Ganlu Hall.

Looking at Li Jiancheng's slightly embarrassed figure, Zhao Chengyong smiled wryly, and beckoned his brothers to follow.

When the group entered the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuanji had already ordered Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche to arrange the defenses in the Ganlu Hall.

Using Ganlu Hall as a barrier to resist Li Shimin's attack is far less advantageous than using a mountain or a canyon as a barrier.

But there are no hills and canyons in the palace that can be used as barriers, so they can only retreat to the next best thing.

Besides, behind the Ganlu Hall is the Ganlu Gate, where the main palace complex of Taiji Palace is located.

If the Ganlu Hall cannot be defended, you can also retreat to the Ganlu Gate, Liangyi Gate, Zhu Ming Gate, and Taiji Gate.

Consuming one door after another will definitely consume seven to eighty eight of the physical strength of the soldiers of Youtunwei, and they will be able to last until Li Yuan leads the army to come.

That's why Li Yuanji chose to fight Li Shimin in Ganlu Hall.

This time he entered the palace to participate in Li Shimin's coup, not to kill the enemy, nor to be an oriole, so there is no need to decide the outcome with Li Shimin, and there is no need to fight Li Shimin to the end.

He just wanted to lay down both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin as "gods", make them both surrogates, and then force them to accept his proposal.

As long as Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin become surrogates, they are not qualified to make conditions with Li Yuan, and there are only two options left for them to choose.

One is to agree to his proposal; the other is to be dismissed by Li Yuan, stripped of his authority, and demoted to a commoner.

After all, one of them was killing his brother, and the other was going to kill his brother. No matter how optimistic Li Yuan was about them, no matter how much he loved them, it was impossible for them to continue to stay in the positions of prince and king of Qin.

Li Yuan cared about Li's family business and the orderly inheritance of the Tang throne, but he also cared about the lives of his sons.

If the sons kill me and I kill you endlessly, if the direct line is extinct, then what's the use of him caring about Li's family business and the orderly inheritance of the Tang throne?

"Zhao Chengyong, you lead 1000 people to guard the gate of Ganlu Hall, and the remaining 500 people will be handed over to Xue Wanche!"

After Li Jiancheng and Zhao Chengyong brought people into the palace, Li Yuanji handed over the most difficult task to Zhao Chengyong without hesitation.

Zhao Chengyong smiled wryly and did not speak.

Li Jiancheng said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you let my people handle the door? Why don't you let your people go?"

Handling the door means facing the frontal impact of Li Shimin and his group, the pressure will be great, and the casualties will be heavy.

Li Jiancheng is such a small man, he has already lost half of his losses in Anlimen and Hongwendian. If he loses any more, he will become a poor commander. Of course he doesn't want to.

Li Yuanji showed the big knife in his hand without hesitation, stared at Li Jiancheng coldly and said, "Is it mine or yours?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth unwillingly, and finally succumbed to Li Yuanji's threat.

He had to give in. Li Yuanji showed his big knife not to scare him, Li Yuanji really dared to do it.

"Remember, you must tell me when you can't stand it, and don't be brave."

Li Yuanji saw that Li Jiancheng had succumbed, so he ignored Li Jiancheng, but looked at Zhao Chengyong for instructions.

Zhao Chengyong clasped his fists and saluted, "I know the importance!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"kill!"

"..."

When Zhao Chengyong led his men to form a battle formation at the gate of Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin had already reached the front of Ganlu Hall.

The former army led by Cheng Yaojin, Yuwen Shi and the vanguard generals rushed to the front of Ganlu Hall, a round of arrows rained first, and then led the soldiers and horses to kill up the stone steps without the slightest hesitation.

"Array!"

After Cheng Yaojin rushed up the stone steps first, Zhao Chengyong let out a low shout with a solemn expression.

The Changlin soldiers beside him quickly formed a battle formation, blocking the gate of Ganlu Hall to death.

In fact, they are not good at foot combat, let alone fighting people in this way.

But Li Jiancheng insisted on using them as infantry, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

But fortunately, they have been in the army for a long time, and they have already developed extremely high combat literacy. Some of them have been infantry before, so they have the thinking to deal with any battlefield, and the determination to fight to the death.

So even in the face of a force that was several times their size, they did not have the slightest fear.

Li Yuanji glanced out through the hole made by the crossbow gun, and after instructing Xue Wanshu and others to see the opportunity to shoot arrows, he picked up a crossbow gun and threw it out at the silk-pasted window of Ganlu Hall.

With a swish of the crossbow gun, a hole was pierced in the window of Ganlu Hall, and it arrived in front of Li Shimin and others in a flash.

When Li Shimin and others reacted, the crossbow spear had already pierced Zhang Gongjin's chest, piercing Zhang Gongjin's eyes.

Fang Xuanling and the others suppressed the horror in their hearts, and quickly gathered in front of Li Shimin, staring at the window of the Ganlu Palace with wide eyes, guarding against the next crossbow spear.

"One shot pierces the armor, and the remaining strength is still there. Only Yuanji has such ability!"

Li Shimin watched Zhang Gongjin fall straight on his horse, and said with a heavy face.

Although the crossbow can also achieve this effect, but Li Yuanji and his party did not have a crossbow in their hands, so it must be Li Yuanji who pierced through Zhang Gongjin's family Baojia and pierced Zhang Gongjin's body.

"An order to everyone, beware of dark guns!"
