Chapter 3464 is about to break out
Faced with Cui Dunli's doubts, Gao Kan said proudly: "It's just that others question the combat effectiveness of the Youtun Guards. Cui Shilang knows the Youtun Guards thoroughly, why is there still such a group? Soldiers are more valuable than the left. Of course people There is a lot of strength, but the army is mixed with good and bad, and it has never been trained, and has not been tempered by the war. It is just an empty show. But Wuyoutunwei is different. Since the commander-in-chief took charge of Youtunwei, he has implemented reorganization and changed the military system of the government. In order to implement the recruitment system, the tactics of the army were innovated. Daily drills were carried out without interruption, and the whole army was trained every ten days. After the whole army was equipped with firearms, they practiced diligently and rain or shine, not to mention that everyone in the army At first, I followed the big The old brother who led the army in vain and swept across Mobei... The general can put Xiang Shang's head here. If Zuo Tunwei really conspires to capture Xuanwu Gate, his entire army will be wiped out!"
< br>
These words were decisive and convincing.
Not only Gao Kan, but also the entire Youtun Guards had always been proud. Except for the Left and Right Military Guards and a few other armies that had fought in the north and south over the years, they did not take the rest of the Sixteen Guards seriously. Especially the "rabble" like Zuo Tunwei, who were mixed in quality and lacked training, were completely dismissive.
Back then, when the troops came out of Baidao and marched across Mobei, even Xue Yantuo's cavalry could be defeated in one battle. They were hunted down like rabbits all over the mountains and plains, let alone Zuotunwei?
Cui Dunli knew that Gao Kan had a calm and resolute temperament. If he had not been completely sure in his heart, he would never have been so rash, so he nodded and said: "Xuanwu Gate is the gateway to Taiji Palace, there is no room for failure! As long as Xuanwu Gate is there, Taiji Palace will be impregnable, no matter what happens again." One more The rebels who are twice as many as they are are unable to capture the city gates such as Zhuque, Hanguang, and Anshang. Therefore, once the general discovers that someone intends to attack Xuanwu Gate, he can immediately defeat the enemy without reporting or waiting for orders to ensure the safety of Xuanwu Gate."
"Here!"
Gao Kan responded in a deep voice.
In fact, this order was not in compliance with military regulations. Xuanwu Gate is the gateway to the Forbidden Palace, and it cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, the troops stationed at Xuanwu Gate are strictly prohibited from making any changes without an imperial edict. Even if the enemy is hit before their eyes, they must report it in time. After receiving the imperial edict, Only then can we fight back.
If troops are mobilized privately without reporting, even if it is later proved necessary and victory is achieved, they will still be held accountable.
But Gao Kan agreed without hesitation, which shows his trust in Cui Dunli.
Cui Dunli patted Gao Kan's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even though this is against military orders, we are in the middle of the court and have the trust of His Highness, so no one can hold us accountable."
In extraordinary times, nature does extraordinary things.
If there are rebels coming to attack Xuanwu Gate, they can organize an army to defend themselves while marching to the palace to wait for orders to be issued. But if Zuo Tunwei suddenly attacks, there will be no time to wait for orders from the palace. The two armies are adjacent, and Zuo Tunwei is even more powerful with strong troops and horses. Once Chai Zhewei is determined to attack Xuanwu Gate, he will definitely be fully prepared to strike with thunder. By the time the palace hears the news and makes a decision, I am afraid that the Youtun Guards will have been completely wiped out and the Xuanwu Gate will be lost...
Gao Kan nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Minister Cui. When the country is in turmoil, what does personal merit, crime, honor and disgrace count? Please tell me, Your Highness, the Ming Prince, as long as the last general is not dead, as long as there is only one soldier left in the Youtun Guard." , Xuanwu Gate will never be lost!”
"Okay!"
Cui Dun praised him, adjusted his clothes a little, bowed his hands to the ground, and said with emotion: "The important place of Xuanwu Gate is entrusted to the general!"
At present, the Sixth Army of the East Palace is resisting the rebels in the imperial city, and it is impossible to divide their troops to help defend Xuanwu Gate. Therefore, the right guards must not only deal with the left guards who are highly likely to rebel, but even if they win, they must continue to fight against the incoming troops. The rebels, with the strength of the garrison on the right, are really having a hard time.
It is conceivable how much pressure Youtunwei will face and what heavy losses they will suffer...
Gao Kan performed a military salute and said loudly: "The duty lies, even if I die, I will not give up!"
The two greeted each other with a feeling of sympathy, and then Cui Dunli stopped staying: "I want to rush back to the palace to report to the prince, so I will leave first. General, you must take care of yourself, and wait until the rebels are wiped out and the world is cleansed. Have a drink!”
The two said goodbye reluctantly.
Watching Cui Dunli's figure disappear in the direction of Xuanwu Gate, Gao Kan looked up at the heavy snow falling in the sky, and then strode back to the military camp with his soldiers.
"As soon as the notice is announced, all the captains and brigade commanders will immediately mobilize their troops and stand ready! At the same time, all the scouts in the general will be sent out to keep an eye on the Zuotun guards for me. If there is a slightest sign of trouble, I will know it immediately! Not only that, but within a radius of thirty miles outside the Xuanwu Gate, even if a wild dog runs past, you have to know it very well.”
"Here!"
"The armory is opened, armor, weapons, weapons and firearms are distributed, and the whole army is ready for war!"
"Here!"
……
A series of orders were issued, and the entire Youtunwei barracks suddenly woke up from the silence, and then the crowds became loud and the morale was high. Groups of soldiers ran out of the barracks to assemble on the school grounds, and then lined up in order to go to the armory to receive armor, weapons and firearms.
More than a hundred scouts, either on horseback or on foot, spread out from the military camps, such as Xuanwu Gate and Zuotunwei Camp in the near distance, Fanglin Gate, Jingyao Gate, and Danfeng Gate in the distance, reaching the Weishui River in the north, and the Weishui River in the west. To Yong'an Canal, to Longshou in the east It turns out that everything is under his surveillance. Even if the wind and snow are raging and the night is dark and cold, no clues will be missed. Even if a person suddenly appears in this area, they can be reported to Gao Kan immediately.
The 20,000 people in the entire Youtun Guards may not seem to be many, but at this moment they are running like a sophisticated war machine, more like a sleeping tiger showing its fangs, just waiting for the opportunity to move and devour someone!
At this moment, the two military camps outside the Xuanwu Gate were stringing their bows, unsheathing their swords, and their swords were at war. A war was about to break out!
*****
In the snowy sky, the magnificent and luxurious Jin Prince's Palace was extremely quiet. The guards in the palace were on duty at the beginning of the night, staring at the rebels who were pouring outside the palace like a tide. Fortunately, this mutiny was planned by the Guanlong clan. The ultimate goal was to depose the prince and force the king of Jin to take the throne, so no soldiers came to harass the king of Jin's palace.
In this case, the whole family is prepared as if they are facing a formidable enemy. If those faint-headed soldiers rush into the palace, it will be a huge event...
Jin Wang Li Zhi sat in his study, dejected and sighing.
The Princess of Jin, Wang Shi, sat beside her and asked curiously: "The purpose of these military admonitions by the Guanlong families is to help His Highness secure his position and compete for the crown prince. It is naturally a great thing. Why is Your Highness so worried and agitated? Shouldn't it be? Are you happy?”
"I'm so happy!"
Li Zhi couldn't help but uttered a curse word, patted the coffee table next to him, and roared angrily: "What's worth being happy about? Disaster is coming! It's really a woman's opinion!"
Princess Jin became more and more puzzled: "This military remonstrance is a conspiracy between Guanlong families and has nothing to do with His Highness. If it succeeds, he will naturally promote His Highness as the crown prince. Wouldn't it be wonderful if his long-cherished wish can be fulfilled in one day? Even if it fails, Those are just the crimes of the Guanlong families and have nothing to do with His Highness. Naturally, we can move forward and retreat freely, getting the best of both worlds.”
For a long time, the King of Jin had been eyeing the position of the kings, but he was always a little short of achieving his wish. It was really confusing for her to have such a good opportunity at the moment and yet look so worried.
Li Zhi, however, was not in the mood to explain to her at all. He still sat there sighing and feeling miserable.
Princess Jin was about to say anything more when she suddenly saw an internal attendant walking in quickly from outside. She paused at the door. When she saw that only Prince Jin and his wife were alone in the study, she stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao Guo See you outside the door.”
"Who?"
Princess Jin's beautiful eyes widened and she spoke in surprise.
Isn't Changsun Wuji accompanying His Majesty on the eastern expedition to Goguryeo and currently in Liaodong? Although I heard that the war in Liaodong was over and the army was returning, Liaodong was thousands of miles away from Chang'an and the return of the army was still far away. How could Duke Zhao come?
However, after asking in surprise, Princess Jin also realized that the reason why Changsun Wuji returned to Chang'an so quickly must be related to this military remonstrance. Moreover, at the critical moment of the mutiny, he came to the Prince Jin's residence to visit him. His intention was almost self-evident. ……
He immediately became excited, his beautiful cheeks turned slightly red, he grabbed Li Zhi's arm and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please summon Zhao Guogong quickly..."
That is the position of crown prince, heir to the empire!
As long as the King of Jin sits on the throne of the crown prince, he will be the princess. If the King of Jin ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, then he will be the mother of the world and achieve the highest achievement of a woman in the world... (End of this chapter)
