Chapter 3554 Hijacking

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Wei Chen raided thousands of miles before, just to hide his whereabouts and return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, so as to catch those rebellious officials and traitors off guard. But now the news that Wei Chen has arrived at Xiaoguan has probably spread to Guanzhong, and the rebels must have made preparations in advance. , the effectiveness of the surprise troops is greatly reduced, and the victory or defeat is also unknown.”

Li Lingkui's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Fang Jun suspected that he had tipped off the Chang'an authorities, but looking at Fang Jun's face, he seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter, so he felt relieved.

If this stick suddenly attacks him and takes him down on the spot for "collaborating with the enemy and reporting information", that would be bad...

He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Erlang's men are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. How can the Guanlong rebels be able to resist them? As long as they approach Chang'an City, the rebels will be invincible and will collapse without a fight!"

Then he changed the subject, pretending to be regretful, and said with a sigh: "Erlang's bravery and loyalty are certainly commendable. This sudden attack of thousands of miles to rescue Chang'an is also to protect the country and protect the sky. It is really the pillar of the empire. It's a pity that the fish and the bear You can't have both. Erlang made great contributions to the East Palace, but he had to Let the cannibals wreak havoc in the Western Regions. Alas, the situation is like this. Erlang should not blame himself. He only blames those old guys in Guanlong who have no kings and fathers and are daring to single-handedly retreat the empire into such a chaotic situation. Thousands of years later, What is right and wrong will be judged by future generations. ”

"Huh..."

Fang Jun sneered. His Royal Highness Prince Lu seemed to be respectful and obedient, but in fact he still had a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints in his heart. He even wanted to use such methods to stir up public opinion to slander him and praise him for being "loyal to the East Palace", but he "Lost to the Empire".

The former is a loyal minister of the East Palace, but the latter is a sinner of the empire.

Fang Jun looked at Li Lingkui with a smile but not a smile, and said leisurely: "Your Highness means that because Wei ministers led troops back to Chang'an to resist the rebels, they harmed the country, the people, and the law, so the Western Region fell into the hands of Da Shi. Even, Wei ministers I just want to turn the tide in this military revolt, make the greatest contribution, and seize the greatest benefits, but abandon the empire’s territory?”

Li Lingkui's heart suddenly trembled when he was glanced at by Fang Jun's sharp eyes, and he almost wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Even though he was still angry, why did he provoke this stick in front of his face? What if this guy gets angry from shame...

He quickly tried to save himself and said: "How could I, the king, have such thoughts? I was just angry at those old immortals in Guanlong who had no regard for family and country. They actually implemented military admonishment at such a critical moment, just for their own selfish desires and abandoning the interests of the empire. Regardless, he really deserves to be killed!”

Fang Jun nodded with a smile, stood up and said: "It's getting late, so Guanlong will arrange things calmly, so I'd better rush to Chang'an City as soon as possible."

Li Lingkui also stood up with a solemn look on his face: "Erlang is concerned about the country and the people. It is actually the main city of the country. I have no place to admire him! I will not try to stay today. When the day comes when Erlang is done, he will come to visit you and have a few drinks."

He just wanted to send the mallet away quickly, otherwise he might say the wrong thing and offend this guy, which would lead to bad luck.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jun looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Since the prince is interested, how can we go to Chang'an with Wei Chen? When Wei Chen defeats the rebels, we will gather in the East Palace. You will not return until you are drunk.”

"Ah this..."

Li Lingkui's eyes widened and his face turned pale.

Mother!

You know that this stick is not easy to deal with. Are you planning to kidnap me?

This is simply unreasonable! After all, I am also a nobleman from Tianhuang, and my status is extremely noble. I can just nod my head and be careful in front of you, but you actually want to hold me hostage in the army?

With a serious look on his face, he said decisively: "How dare I disobey Erlang's kindness?"

He was really annoyed, but he knew very well that Fang Jun was a stick man. If he dared to refuse at this moment, Fang Jun would definitely dare to tie him up and throw him on the back of a horse. Rather than suffer that crime, it would be better to simply follow him to Chang'an, at least not to be mistreated.

People are under the eaves, just be timid...

Fang Jun said with a smile: "His Highness is well-informed and knowledgeable. He is indeed a wonderful person. In the past, our monarchs and ministers rarely got along with each other, which is a pity. As His Highness said, we are real relatives. We must keep in touch with each other more in the future and forge a deep relationship." Friendship is good.”

In order to rush for time, he led more than 10,000 cavalry to go ahead and rush all the way to Xiaoguan. Most of the cavalry behind him had not yet arrived. If Li Lingkui is allowed to stay here in Xiaoguan, there is a risk of his head and tail being cut off. This hidden danger must be eliminated.

Even though Li Lingkui was submissive in front of him at the moment, he had a deep connection with Guan Long. It would be bad if he was seduced by Guan Long and cut off his way out...

Li Lingkui smiled brightly and said with emotion: "Erlang said it well, it's time to get closer to him."

But in my heart I cursed: Kiss your mother so close! You are such a treacherous person, why should I get close to you? Hurry up and stay away from me...

Li Lingkui's subordinates looked at each other in astonishment as they watched the two of them walking out of the barracks hand in hand, riding side by side toward Chang'an surrounded by the Youtun Guard cavalry.

Our prince...is this considered being held hostage?

*****

The howling north wind gradually weakened, but the snowflakes became larger and larger, densely packed and fluttering, and there was a vast expanse between heaven and earth.

The two riders crossed the Wei River from the West Wei Bridge and arrived at the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an. At this moment, several city gates in Chang'an have already been occupied by the Guanlong rebels, and the city gates are tightly closed to prevent anyone except the military from entering or exiting. The rebels defending the city saw someone arriving and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept them.

The two horses galloped to the bottom of the city like a whirlwind. When they saw the city defenders approaching to intercept them, they slowed down their horses and finally approached loudly: "We are the defenders of Xiaoguan. On the order of my prince, we entered the city to see Duke Zhao. We have urgent military affairs." Tong Bing! ”

The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported to the captain, who then opened the city gate and let two cavalry into the city. The soldiers sent a team of cavalry to escort the two Xiaoguan defenders to Yanshoufang.

In the wind and snow, a group of cavalry galloped to Yanshoufang to meet with Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Sun Wuji.

……

Changsun Wuji was sitting behind the desk. Dozens of civil servants and generals from Guanlong were busy around him, receiving all kinds of information, processing all kinds of official documents, raising food and ammunition, and collecting ordnance. The military remonstrance had been going on for more than two months, and the Sixth Army of the East Palace was besieged in the imperial city. There were no reinforcements outside or supplies inside, but they fought more and more bravely. Although they were exhausted, they caused extremely serious losses to the Guanlong army.

Changsun Wuji had not expected that Bingjian would reach the current situation.

I didn't expect that the hastily prepared Donggong Liuli would show such amazing combat effectiveness, and its bravery and fighting resilience were even more jaw-dropping.

Although he had never fought side by side with Li Jing, he knew very well about his abilities. However, he never expected that just one Li Jing would change the six rates of the East Palace...

The situation is quite difficult.

One more day to escape means more risks. Although the Liaodong army moves slowly and it will take half a month to reach Guanzhong, rumors are already spreading among the Guanlong army and their morale is shaken. If they can no longer capture the imperial city, something will happen.

Therefore, he decided to put all his efforts into a desperate attack, regardless of casualties, to capture the imperial city in one fell swoop.

Beside him was the anxious King Li You of Qi.

His Highness was personally recruited by Changsun Wuji and promised to be the crown prince. He was immediately overjoyed, fully accepted Changsun Wuji's arrangements, and tried his best to cooperate. However, as the unfavorable war situation dragged on for longer and longer, this joy not only gradually extinguished, but also replaced it with fear.

He knew what he was like and how much his father hated him. If it takes a long time to capture the imperial city and depose the East Palace, and he becomes the crown prince, then of course Changsun Wuji will not die well when his father returns to Chang'an, but his biological son will also have to be peeled off and chopped into pieces. Feed the dog...

Changsun Wuji saw that Li You was distracted, frowned, and stood up and said: "Your Highness must be tired and sleepy, right? Why don't you go to the side hall to take a rest, and I will drink a cup of tea with you."

"Oh... so good."

Li You obeyed any advice from Changsun Wuji and stood up immediately, and the two of them went to the side hall together.

The clerk served him tea and closed the door when he left.

Changsun Wuji took a sip of hot tea and felt a little more relaxed. He asked, "Your Highness is restless, but what's on your mind?"

Li You thought: Not only do I have something on my mind, but don't you? It's just that you, an old thief, have always been gloomy and the city is too deep to show it. I don't believe that the war is so stalemate right now. Your heart is not burning...

He sighed softly, hesitating and tangled on his face for a long time, and then whispered: "How does Duke Zhao intend to deal with the King of Wei and the King of Jin?" (End of Chapter)
