Chapter 134 Mutiny at Xuanwu Gate (End) ([-] in [-])

The Changlin Army and Prince Qi's personal guards surrendered, which relieved Yu Chigong and others.After all, they were the ones who rebelled, and it would be very bad if the two sides fought for too long and attracted other forbidden troops.

Now it is best to take down the opponent without moving a single soldier.

At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were hiding in the dark also came out, but the expressions on their faces were not as optimistic as others.

Fang Xuanling asked, "Jingde, where is the king?"

"Your Majesty is in the Linhu Palace...Damn it, you actually forgot something more important." Yu Chigong slapped his head regretfully, and then, ignoring any further words, he pointed at the eight hundred guards of Prince Qin's Mansion and said, "Take out a A hundred-man cavalry team entered the palace with me to protect the saint."

After speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the Xuanwu Gate again and ran to the depths of Da Nei.

At this time, the quality of Qin Wang's personal guards was reflected. Yu Chigong's order was very vague, and he didn't say which 100 people would follow him into the palace.

But there was no confusion among the 800 people, and one of the centurions automatically turned around and followed.The other seven Centuries remained indifferent, watching Changlin Army and... Qiantun Weiyuan from the Imperial Army with vigilance.

Yes, they were on guard with Jing Junhong's Qiantunwei.

That's why they closed the city gate without waiting for Jing Junhong's troops to enter the Xuanwu Gate together.

Everyone knows that at this time, the most trustworthy are only eight hundred personal guards, and everyone else is in the second echelon.

Cheng Yaojin understood this truth, and so did Jing Junhong.

Jing Junhong will not have any other ideas because of this.He can guarantee his loyalty, but he can't guarantee that everyone in the two Qiantunwei thinks the same as him.

What if someone has a different mind?
This is rebellion, and the more cautious the better.

Seeing Yu Chigong leave, the faces of Fang Xuanling and the others became heavy again. Killing the prince and King Qi was only the first step. The most important thing was to control Li Yuan and get the soldier talisman to control the forbidden army.Such a rebellion is considered a success.

Although they forced the prince's Changlin Army to control the Xuanwu Gate, don't forget that there is not only one Xuanwu Gate in Daxing Palace, but also many gates that can lead directly to Da Nei.

Once Li Yuan got the news in advance to transfer the forbidden army into the palace from other city gates, their mutiny would still fail.

It has been a while since the mutiny happened, and Li Yuan may get news at any time.Now it can be said that every second counts, and every second that is delayed is the danger of failure.

Watching Yu Chigong leave, everyone can only pray in their hearts, hoping that the saint has not received the news yet.

At this time, Du Ruhui seemed to have thought of something, and shouted in surprise, "No, just now Xue Wanche led people to the direction of Fanglin Gate. He must have wanted to attack the palace. Only the four hundred death row prisoners in Gao Zhizhong insisted on Fanglin Gate." Before long, General Cheng Jing please bring someone to support him."

Jing Junhong's face also changed, and he said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier. Shi Heng, you are here to watch over the Changlin Army, and I will take people to rescue."

After finishing speaking, he was about to rush towards Fanglin Gate, but just turned his horse's head but stopped, and said to Cheng Yaojin: "General Cheng, borrow the heads of the crown prince and King Qi."

Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately understood his intention.With these two heads, Xue Wanche's army could be disintegrated in an instant.

"General Jing, please." Cheng Yaojin said solemnly, handing him the head.

"Please." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also said at the same time.

After taking the head, Jing Junhong didn't say a word, but gave several people a firm look.Then he shouted loudly: "Boys, follow me to put down the rebels."

The change of Xuanwumen seems to be very drastic, but for the whole city of Chang'an, it just happened between three or five fangs, and most of the fangs did not mention the impact.

There is no way, Chang'an City is too big, it will take some time for the news to spread.

And this has something to do with the structure of Chang'an City.

Various emergencies were considered at the beginning of the city's construction. For the convenience of management, Chang'an City was divided into a total of [-] connected and separate areas, that is, [-] squares.

Each square has an independent square door and square wall. Once there is a problem, just close the square door to isolate it from other squares without affecting the operation of other squares.

It can be said that this design concept is very advanced.

At this time, this design concept helped Gao Shilian a lot.

After all, he only had four or five hundred prisoners, and it was impossible to guard the huge Hongyi Palace.But now he only needs to occupy the Fanglin Gate, and closing the gate is a simple line of defense.

He also had people collect a large number of bricks, tiles, sticks and the like as throwing objects, no matter how lethal they were, but they could delay the enemy's attack and delay the time.

He was not so arrogant as to think that with these four or five hundred death row prisoners, he could defeat the invading army.

When Xue Wanche led 1000 people to Fanglin Gate, what he saw was such a wonderful scene.

A group of filthy, not rubbish, human beings in prison uniforms stood at Fanglin Gate and showed off their might to him.

As the deputy head of the Prince's Mansion, can he bear this tone?Immediately ordered his men to release arrows.

A wave of arrows rained down, at least three or forty people were shot dead, and over a hundred were injured.

"The mob dares to stop me in front of the general. They are overconfident. Charge and take down the Fanglin Gate with the fastest speed." Xue Wanche said contemptuously.

"Here." The morale of the Changlin army was high, and they lined up to charge.

Correspondingly, the morale of Gao Shilian's side has dropped a lot.Several death row inmates couldn't stand the atmosphere and were ready to escape. If the law enforcement team hadn't hacked several people in succession, everyone would probably have fled at that time.

Gao Shilian stomped his feet anxiously from behind. He knew that the death row prisoner was unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable.At the moment, he repeatedly urged the family to organize death row prisoners to avoid the rain of arrows and fight back.

Fortunately, under the threat of death, these condemned prisoners also broke out a strong ability to adapt, one by one raised the shield door panels that had been prepared long ago to resist the rain of arrows.

After surviving the arrow rain attack, these condemned prisoners cheered, and their morale improved a little bit.

When Changlin's army launched an offensive, they actually counterattacked in a decent manner. Those bricks and tiles were smashed at the vital points, and cheers would be heard every time they hit the target.

Some people will even report the results loudly:

"Look, I hit that man in the face."

"I hit him on the nose."

"I hit him in the eye."

"Oh ho... I hit his crotch."

"..."

Hearing these obscenities, Gao Shilian and his generals turned darker and darker.If this is their soldier, the parents who have already taken care of them will not know each other.But now I can only endure it.

However, these death row prisoners did not notice that the anger in the eyes of those Changlin Jun who were ridiculed by them was getting stronger and stronger.

If these death row prisoners knew what kind of evil consequences their actions would bring to them at this time, they would be as honest as they could be, and they would even sew their mouths shut.

……

The angry Changlin army broke out with strong fighting power. They ignored all kinds of throwing objects flying across the sky, and fixed their eyes on the death row prisoners.

When they came to the wall, they rushed up desperately, even if they were stabbed by knives and guns, they did not flinch.When climbing to the top of the city, they are even willing to pull the enemy down from the wall together.

These prisoners on death row had never seen such a scene before, their morale dropped to the lowest in an instant, and as a result, they were rushed to the top of the wall by the Chang Lin army.

It was Gao Shilian who saw the situation was wrong and sent the law enforcement team to withstand the first wave of offensive and stabilize people's hearts.

But as the number of deaths increased, the already low morale gradually dissipated.People start running away...

one, two, three...

The law enforcement team had already been dispatched to the top of the city, and Gao Shilian personally hacked several deserters to death with a knife.However, more and more people were escaping, so how could he stop it by himself.

Seeing that Fanglin Gate was about to fall, he showed a look of despair.

Is this old man going to die here today?Either way, it can be regarded as repaying the king for his kindness.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the top of the city: "General Jing is here, we are saved, we are saved."

"Respect General? Respect Junhong?" Gao Shilian was taken aback for a moment, and then showed an ecstatic expression.

Doesn't Jing Junhong's arrival mean that Xuanwumen has been controlled, otherwise how could he come to support him.

Seeing Jing Junhong appearing behind, Xue Wanche's face changed drastically, realizing that something was wrong.However, his quality as a general allowed him to regroup the army to guard against possible attacks from the opponent.
As for Gao Shilian's death row army... sorry, they are nothing in front of the regular army.

Seeing that they stopped fighting, Jing Junhong did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he rode his horse to the front of the battle and picked up the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with his long spears, shouting: "The crown prince and the king of Qi are at the head again, and you should surrender quickly. "

At the same time, Linhu Hall.

Yu Chigong came here with Baiqi and met Li Shimin who was waiting.

"Jingde, what's going on outside?" Li Shimin asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Changlin army has surrendered, General Cheng and General Jing have controlled the situation." Yu Chigong replied.

"Well, well, Zhijie and Junhong really didn't disappoint me." Li Shimin said happily.

Gongsun Wuda and the others also smiled, controlling the situation meant that the first step had been successful.

"My lord, this is not the time to relax. The saint is still in the palace without protection, and there is danger at any time. It is necessary to send a reliable general to protect him immediately." Changsun Wuji was not so optimistic and reminded.

"As a son of man, I should have gone to protect my father myself. But I still have to go to Xuanwu Gate to prevent the rebels from taking over the gate...Which general is willing to protect the saint on my behalf." Li Shimin said.

Right now he is not suitable to appear in front of Li Yuan.

If it was a general who went there, Li Yuan would definitely be obedient, because he couldn't guarantee that the general would chop him up with a knife.

Not only would it be embarrassing for the father and son to meet Li Shimin, but if Li Yuan got angry, it would be really troublesome if he didn't give the soldier talisman.

Moreover, Li Shimin's reputation must also be considered. It is already unfilial enough to turn against one's own father.If he personally forced his own father to hand over his military power, he would really tear off the last fig leaf.

As long as there is a way, he will not go to see Li Yuan in person at this time.

However, the generals looked at each other in blank dismay and no one dared to speak.

When it is said to protect the emperor, everyone understands what it really means, which is to control the emperor.But that's the emperor, King Qin's own father... To be honest, they were all a little apprehensive.

In case Li Yuan holds a grudge and tells Li Shimin that you killed XX, I will forgive you. Guess what Li Shimin will do?
Even in the future, if Li Shimin wants to ease the relationship with his own father, what if he pulls you out and kills you?
If Li Shimin directly ordered someone to carry out this task, no one would hesitate.But if you let everyone choose for themselves, no one is willing to be the first to stand up.

However, there are always people who are not afraid of death.

"The final general is willing to go." Yu Chigong took the initiative to stand up and said.

"Okay, Jingde really deserves to be a loyal man. I can rest assured that you will go there, and the safety of the saint will be entrusted to you." Li Shimin said happily.

Yu Chi respectfully said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the final general will protect His Majesty well."

Some things are well known.Control Li Yuan, and then force him to act.

Breaking into the palace and controlling the Xuanwu Gate is not considered a victory, the most critical step is to control the emperor.Then get the imperial edict and military talisman, and the confidants of the Qin Palace will take over the army of the guards in Gyeonggi to be considered a real success.

It is obviously not an easy task to ask for the imperial edict and military talisman from the emperor.

Everyone couldn't understand why Yu Chigong took on so many thankless tasks.First, he disobeyed Li Shimin's order and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and now he took the initiative to invite Ying to deter Li Yuan.

Is he really not afraid of settling accounts after autumn?

If Yu Chigong knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that there are gods behind the labor and management, what do you bunch of scum know.

However, if Yue Shan knew Yu Chigong's thoughts, he would definitely be ashamed. The historical captain, Yu Chigong, personally killed Li Yuanji and brought people to persecute Li Yuan.

And Li Shimin not only didn't cunning rabbit to death, but because of these friendships, he spared Yuchigong's life several times and allowed him to die well.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Yue Shan reminds Yuchi in advance to take care of these "dirty jobs".Otherwise, he wouldn't say that much.

Yuchi Gong cupped his hands and led a hundred or so soldiers directly to Daxing Hall to kill them.

After the Linhu Temple is Haichi, also called Xianchi. Li Yuan was boating in Xianchi when the Xuanwu Gate changed in history.In this life, he waited for the arrival of his three sons in Daxing Hall.

But he could never wait for the other two sons.

……

When the matter reached this point, there was no need to hide it, Yu Chigong led his troops to gallop, making the palace a mess.

In fact, there are left and right imperial guards in the palace, which are the guards with swords in front of the emperor who often appear in film and television works, which is later known as Qianniuwei.The well-known Li Yuanfang is the commander of the Qianniu Wei University.

But at this time they are not called Qianniuwei, they are called Zuofu Zuoling.

When these imperial guards saw a hundred-man cavalry rushing in aggressively, they all knew that something was wrong.

Someone went to Daxing Hall to inform Li Yuan, someone organized people to resist, and someone tried to stop him:

"Who rides a horse in the palace and doesn't dismount quickly!"

Yu Chigong didn't stay at all, and urged him to go forward and shout "Death to those who stand in the way!" He raised his horse and directly stabbed the guard's chest through.

These imperial guards are indeed loyal enough, and there are still people who come over one after another to try to stop them.However, with mental calculations and unintentional, and the cavalry charging again, those resistances could not stop Yu Chigong's footsteps at all, and they couldn't even slow down their speed.

In that room, Li Yuan and the ministers were discussing state affairs, and when they heard the movement outside, they showed displeasure on their faces.

But then the displeasure turned to consternation. He was the emperor who was coming soon, and he was all too familiar with the sound of horseshoes.He could tell just by listening to the sound that the cavalry must be charging to make such a sound.

Who dares to charge on horseback in Ouchi?Want to rebel?
As soon as this idea came up, a guard rushed in without even knocking on the door: "The sage is not good, Yu Chigong led someone to kill him."
