Ji Tang

Looking at the excited people, Ji Song was a little distracted. He didn't know how they would feel if they knew that they were just pawns in the emperor's hands, and that this rebellion was also planned by the emperor. It was just for revenge.
"Get up!"

"Thank you, General!"

Everyone stood with their hands tied, looking at the general with fiery eyes, waiting for him to issue military orders!
What happened to the many rebels? As long as the generals are here, they are just chickens and dogs!

Ji Song didn't know what they were thinking, but just said: "Send the order, the whole army marches towards Chang'an!"

"promise!"
-
In the palace, Chen Shou trotted anxiously to the Tai Chi Hall, ignoring the emperor who was discussing with everyone, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the general has broken through the Baqiao defense line, and can reach Chang'an in an hour at most."

wow~
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, looked at the important ministers in the hall and said, "Come on, come with me to see how our General Ji defeated the rebels, hahahaha~"

No wonder he was so excited. Although he knew that Ji Song would not let him down, he still felt incredible that he could resolve the siege of the academy so quickly, break through the Baqiao defense line, and almost reach Chang'an City's army!

Fast, too fast!
Just when Li Shimin took the lead to walk out of the hall, what he didn't know was that behind him, an inconspicuous-looking Captain Jinwu flashed his eyes, shook the handle of the knife in his hand, and followed closely.
Dugu Mou had no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He was also a mainstay among the Guanlong nobles, but he did not join them. Instead, he had surrendered to the emperor very early, and even the Guanlong family plotted against him. He also told the emperor everything.

He even played a role in fueling the flames, but he retired on the eve of the rebellion. I'm afraid those old guys hate him now and want to tear him into pieces, right?
However, he doesn't care about these. In the face of survival, betraying allies is not a shameful thing. What's more, have the Guanlong family ever really formed an alliance? But it’s all for self-interest!

When this alliance cannot bring them benefits or even harms them, any alliance or oath is just a piece of waste paper that can be torn up at any time!

The decline of the Guanlong family is an irrefutable fact. Want to use force to coerce the current emperor like before? It's just asking for death.

As the saying goes, dead Taoist friends are not dead, and using their bones to help the Dugu family regain their glory is their only value!

But what puzzles him is that so far, he has only seen the opponent's strength on the surface, but what about the strength in the dark? If anyone really thinks that the Guanlong military family that has stood firm for hundreds of years has this little strength, it is not clear how they will die by then.

Although he was full of doubts, he could not see any hope of the opponent's victory now. In front of the army led by Ji Song, their little strength was like throwing an egg against a stone.

I couldn't figure it out, so I just stopped thinking about it. When I came to the city wall, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, and the Pang army waiting in full formation, I suddenly felt a sense of loss.

The family background that he has been proud of since childhood is now coming to an end. Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, he said silently: Don't worry, the glory of the Guanlong family will not dissipate, and the Dugu family will inherit everything from it.

Outside the city, there is a rebel camp.

The heads of the Linghu family, Yuan family, Yu family, Li family and other Guanlong clans all gathered in the big tent. The news coming from outside made them feel like they were falling into an ice cave. The head of the Hou Mochen family, who had high hopes for them, failed and fled into the mountains with hundreds of clan soldiers, while tens of thousands of troops were wiped out.

Now, Ji Song, who was appointed as the general by Li Shimin, has arrived outside the camp with the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards. They now have two choices, either to fight to the death or to surrender.

But if they surrender, they will undoubtedly die, and the family behind them will cease to exist. Although they will not be driven out to death, it is almost the same as genocide. Accept the challenge?

But what they faced was no one else, but Ji Song, who had defeated a million-strong food coalition and destroyed dozens of countries. Can they win when their military strength is not much different?

"War, our Guanlong clan has been prosperous since the Eastern Jin Dynasty. We have been fighting for hundreds of years in troubled times, and we are what we are now. Everything we have is done by killing. There are only Guanlong clan who died in battle, and there are no cowards in the Guanlong clan. "

"It's nothing more than life and death!"

"Yes, there is no hesitation. It's just death. When have we ever been afraid? Even Ji Song would have to break his teeth and bite off a piece of his flesh."

"."

Everyone asked for a fight, which made the family heads at the top feel happy and sad at the same time. They all contributed to the establishment of the Northern Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, but no matter who sat in that position, the first thing they did was to weaken them. Yu Wentai was like this, Yang Jian and Yang Guang were like this, Li Yuan and Li Shimin were like this.

They just don't want to leave their fate to others. What's wrong with that?

If Ji Song knew that they thought so, he would probably sneer at them. What's wrong? Haha, if there is no other reason, it is just a crime to possess a jade. The affairs of the world are nothing but the law of the jungle and the survival of the strong. A force that wants to override the imperial power will not be allowed to exist by any emperor with any ambition.

Yes, the Guanlong clan made great contributions to the land of China in the Central Plains where the land was full of odor. The reunification of China is not unrelated to their existence. But so what, the world is changing, the world is unified, the people want peace, and they, who can subvert the empire at any time, are a thorn in the side of the courtiers and the emperor, and a thorn in the flesh.

There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, only making the right choice at the right time. Obviously, they are unwilling to give up the power in their hands and live in the glory of their ancestors.

But they only have the ambition of their ancestors, but they do not have the ability of their ancestors. They have great ambitions and little talent, and cannot see the general trend of the world, so they will definitely be eliminated by the general trend!

Look at the Lingnan Feng family, they keep pace with the times, even reestablishing a new foundation, sending the elites of the clan to fight in the sky and fight for their lives on the sea. From now on, there must be their Lingnan Feng family on the vast sea. a place.

This is the result of decisive change after seeing the general trend clearly. Although there are pains from time to time, this is an inevitable sacrifice under the change. Compared with the sacrifices of a mere generation, the descendants of Fuze seem to be more respectable.

Datang has never blocked their path, it's just that they don't want to change. Things change at any time. Nothing in this world remains the same. If we don’t work hard to change, our only destiny is to disappear in the long river of history.

How many surnames have there been since ancient times? But look at it now, how many surnames can stand in the Central Plains? How many have died or are in fact likely to die?
The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage. The way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is damage.

Although the way of man is cruel, it is also a fact. If you cannot adapt, you will only perish! (End of chapter)
