Chapter 3571 Serious Injury
When Hou Mo Chen Lin led his army to Hanguangmen and took over Dou Dewei's command, he looked at the ruins under the flying snow and the miserable Guanlong soldiers lying scattered in the ruins. He couldn't help but take a breath. My hands and feet feel numb.
In war, life and death are normal, and he has seen miserable corpses. However, a scene like this Shura hell was shocking to him, making him feel his stomach twitching and feeling a little vomiting...
After taking a deep breath, Hou Mo and Chen Lin ordered: "Send out one unit directly to Hanguang Gate, occupy Honglu Temple and Taishe, and be careful to defend the counterattack. I will personally lead the army to attack Zhuque Gate, and attack from both sides with friendly forces. Leave five hundred people behind to clean up the mess immediately, and be sure to clear Hanguang Gate as quickly as possible for the army to march.”
I want to order the corpse of Pao Ze who died here to be collected again, otherwise in the chaos of war, it will soon become a ball of rotten flesh, blending into the bricks and mud water, making it difficult to clean up. But thinking that the current battle situation is urgent, every moment is extremely urgent, and Tai Chi Palace must be captured as quickly as possible, so they can only give up.
It is nothing to wrap their bodies in horse leather on the battlefield, but it is a pity that these robes died in the capital of the empire. In the future, no one knows whether they will be "sacrificially sacrificed to overthrow the cruel and pedantic prince", or whether they will be "treason that brings chaos to the imperial court and poisons the world"... …
Hou Mo Chen Lin's heart was filled with gloom and gloom. He immediately led his troops over the ruins of Hanguang Gate and headed towards the Suzaku Gate, the main gate of the imperial city on the right. However, he did not dare to get too close. Hanguang Gate's earth-shattering earthquake Xiang buried more than a thousand rebel soldiers. This determination to die together frightened the Guanlong rebels, but also boosted the morale of the six leaders of the East Palace.
People have very strange thoughts. When a person is going to die, it is as difficult as heaven to think about it. But once thousands of people are dominated by emotions and become excited, they can really die generously and regard death as life.
If the defenders of Zhuque Gate cannot keep watch, they will also follow the example of Hanguang Gate and attack...
What's more, if they advance towards the Tai Chi Palace along the way, and the defenders are irresistible at every point they reach, and when they retreat, they plant gunpowder to blow the entire Tai Chi Palace to the ground bit by bit, then what should we do?
The children of the aristocratic family have received the best education, and have a broad vision and an agile mind. At this time, Hou Mo and Chen Lin have already thought of the worst result - even if the military remonstrance is successful in the end, the imperial city and Taiji Palace will be destroyed in one day, so the people of the world and the history books How would you evaluate the military remonstrance initiated by Guan Long?
I am afraid that many will break the promise and only few will approve.
Public opinion in the world is all in the hands of Confucianism, and Confucianism emphasizes "having faith in clear righteousness, advocating virtue and repaying merit, and governing the world." Although it is not opposed to "the simultaneous development of civil and military forces," it is extremely resistant to killing and killing. What's more, they implemented military remonstrances, destroyed the center, and even caused the entire Chang'an city to be destroyed by war?
Don't talk about tampering with history books and covering up the truth. His Majesty Li Er is the most powerful person in the world and the most respected person in the world. To this day, there are still books recording his dark history of "killing his brothers and forcing his father to abdicate." His Majesty Li Er was furious, but what could he do?
Is it possible that he could be convicted for his words and kill all those who discussed the matter in private?
The so-called defense of the people is more important than the prevention of Sichuan. Blindly killing and toughening will not solve the problem. Even if the world was silenced for a time due to cruel suppression, such brutal policies cannot continue endlessly, right? When the people become wise and the high-pressure becomes slack, the backlash will only become more violent and will eventually sweep through everything like a prairie fire.
……
In the Yanshou Square, Changsun Wuji endured the severe pain and let the doctor finish the treatment on his leg while he was covered in cold sweat.
The doctor was also sweating profusely. After bandaging, he washed his hands in a basin and wrote down a prescription. He handed it to the servant of the eldest grandson's family and told him to act according to the instructions in the prescription. Then he said nothing to the eldest grandson. Ji said: "Zhao Guogong still needs to be careful. His legs are broken and his meridians are damaged..."
In the middle of his words, Changsun Wuji waved his hand and interrupted him. He said with a pale face: "I know my own injuries well. In short, my life is fine. As for whether I will be disabled or not, it doesn't matter. Come, send the doctor out."
He is nearly seventy years old. Although he is usually healthy, at this age, he just depends on the weather for food. If God allows you to live for one day, you have to eat one more mouthful of food. One day, when the time comes, he may send the capricious general. Escorted away with his life.
What's more, it's a critical moment for the survival of the family. As long as there is one breath left, why do you care about whether a leg is lame?
Lying on the bed, he drove out all the servants and asked Yu Wenjie: "How is the situation at Hanguang Gate?"
Yu Wenjie had obviously just returned from Hanguang Gate. Panting from the dust, he bowed and replied: "When the defenders retreated, they buried a large amount of gunpowder in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, brought it to Dou Dewei and led his troops to occupy it, and then detonated the gunpowder... …There were heavy casualties.”
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy and said in a deep voice: "Tell me in detail."
Yu Wenjie said: "The imperial city could not be captured for a long time, and the morale of the army was low. Therefore, when Hanguang Gate was captured, all the soldiers were extremely excited. They swarmed up, either climbing to the top of the city or entering from the city gate. They all gathered together. It was near the gunpowder planted by the defenders, so when it was detonated, the injured The casualties were heavy. I went to count the casualties. One thousand of them died tragically on the spot. The rest had injuries of varying severity. Those with minor injuries were fine. They had been evacuated and were treated by doctors. Those with more serious injuries were injured. There is basically no possibility of survival.”
"Hmph!"
Changsun Wuji snorted angrily and gritted his teeth: "Cheng Yaojin actually gave birth to a good son, but he actually inflicted heavy damage on our army with such violent behavior. I am really angry!"
Who would have thought that one moment they would be ecstatic about the capture of Hanguang Gate, and the next moment they would be shaken by the tragedy of the world?
Yuwenjie remained silent.
The heavy damage this time was not due to the number of casualties. Guanlong gathered more than 100,000 troops to besiege the imperial city. Every day, the number of casualties was in the thousands. Although the number of casualties under Hanguang Gate was not small, it was not Changsun Wuji was so furious.
It's just that this explosion dealt an extremely serious blow to the morale and morale of the Guanlong army. Not to mention anything else, when we attack the city gate in the future, the fearless and fearless momentum in the past will probably never appear again. After all, who is willing to risk his life to climb to the top of the city without enjoying the honor of "first to climb"? Buried in a gunpowder explosion?
Every time you attack a place, you must be careful to see if there is gunpowder buried under your feet. The impact on the morale of the army is immeasurable...
If Cheng Chubi were here right now, he would probably be eaten alive by Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji only felt that the pain in his injured leg was getting worse and worse. It must have been that the silver needle pricking the acupoints during the doctor's diagnosis and treatment temporarily relieved the severe pain. Now the effect dissipated and the severe pain came back again.
He endured the pain and trembled slightly, and said to Yuwenjie: "I will hide the fact that I was injured for the time being. I will tell the doctor after I go out, so as not to cause a turmoil in the morale of the army."
Yuwenjie quickly responded.
If it is just that the morale of the army has been frustrated, the key point is that once the news spreads that Changsun Wuji is seriously injured and may even be disabled, it will inevitably make people within the Guanlong clan panic. And when Fang Jun leads the army to return to reinforcements... The Guanlong family, which is living in disgrace and has deep discord, may be completely divided.
Seeing the expression on Yuwenjie's face, Changsun Wuji knew that he understood the power of it. He was a little relieved and said warmly: "I can't come forward at the moment, so you can temporarily handle military affairs on my behalf. If you encounter any major unresolved matters, come and report them. For ordinary things, think deeply." You can decide later.”
This is unparalleled trust.
Yu Wenjie was shocked, looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise, and quickly declined: "How can I dare to exercise such power because I have little talent and limited experience? But don't worry, Duke Zhao. I will collect war reports and military affairs outside, and come in every once in a while to ask for instructions."< br>
He knew that this was Changsun Wuji's method to win over the Yuwen family, but at this critical moment, he was able to delegate power to him and entrust him with the task of admonishing soldiers. Even though he knew that he could never make any decision, he was still excited.
This is the affirmation from the first minister of Zhenguan and the leader of Guanlong... Who can not be a little vain?
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, very satisfied with Yuwen Jiezhi's temperament of advancing and retreating. More than half of the people in the main hall outside were his close confidants. Even if Yu Wenjie was given the right to make decisions, what decision could he make?
This is coaxing and testing.
When the pain was unbearable, I saw that Yu Wenjie did not retreat, but seemed to be hesitant to speak. I couldn't help but wonder: "But there are still important things?" (End of Chapter)
