Chapter 3903: What are you afraid of?
It has been rainy in Guanzhong this year. After the continuous heavy rain in the first two days, it changed to continuous rain. This humid and cold weather is a great torture for people who are weak and have depleted their roots. Changsun Wuji relied on his perseverance to go into battle and supervise the battle for a day. , it was really difficult to persist, so he had to return to Yanshoufang to take command from the center.
At this time, the front line of Chengtian Gate and the entire East Palace had been captured. All six troops in the East Palace retreated into the Taiji Palace, and they were fighting every step of the way. Every palace and every courtyard was fought with blood. However, after losing the advantage of city defense, the Guanlong army relied on its superiority in military strength. Generally, it is constantly impacting the entire Tai Chi Palace, the advantage is expanding step by step, and victory is already in sight.
Changsun Wuji was finally able to take a break...
After brewing a pot of hot tea, Changsun Wuji and Yu Wenshi sat on either side of the desk in front of the window, and said with concern: "You can't stand it. You have to rest when it's time. Now in the whole Guanlong, everyone His thoughts are unpredictable. It’s okay if the battle goes well, but if things go wrong, one of us must be able to withstand it, and we can’t fall together.”
In the past, Yuwen Shiji, whom he was most afraid of and guarded against within Guanlong Xungui, was because only the Yuwen family could surpass the Changsun family and become the new leader of Guanlong.
But now the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" have suffered heavy losses outside the city, and the remaining troops have been transferred into the city to charge on the front line of the Tai Chi Palace. This has caused immeasurable damage to the foundation of the Yuwen family. Today's Yuwen family can only rely on the Changsun family and try their best to promote the success of this mutiny. Otherwise, once the Changsun family falls, the Yuwen family will never rise again.
In short, the two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe and losing each other...
Yu Wenshiji took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, my body is of course known to me. These years of pampering and pampering have depleted my roots, and I don't even realize it. Only when I'm consuming so much energy do I realize that I'm about to be depleted." Empty... After a day of rest, I have improved a lot. If I want to return to my previous physical strength, I have to cultivate myself for three to five years."
How dare he leave the whole battle to Changsun Wuji at this time?
Everyone has selfish motives, and they seem to be on the same page with the Yuwen family at the moment, but if the time comes when sacrifice is necessary and he is no longer there, Changsun Wuji is likely to throw away the last bit of the Yuwen family's wealth...
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "As long as you know it well, I won't go on too much. The battle situation is going well now. It's just a matter of time to capture the Taiji Palace. It's impossible for the Six-rate East Palace to turn defeat into victory. The only thing that can be worried about is Zhang Shigui's tendency. What if he is determined to carry out your Majesty's orders? The following edict is to seal the Xuanwu Gate tightly, so that the prince will be unable to fly. We are done. If he falls to the side of the prince, opens the Xuanwu Gate and lets the prince leave the city, then the prince can escape under the protection of Youtun Guards, and there will be trouble in the future. There are many more.”
Once the prince withdrew from Xuanwu Gate and retreated to Hexi under the protection of Youtun Guards, it would be absolutely impossible for the Guanlong army to take advantage of the victory and pursue them to achieve their full success. The Youtun Guards were so powerful that just thinking about it made him tremble.
"That's not necessarily the case. If the prince retreats to Hexi to command the world in the name of the crown prince and prepares to counterattack Chang'an, he can just contain Guanzhong. Li Ji also throws a trap and has to rely on us. Our losses may be minimized and we can gain some additional gains. .”
Yu Wenshiji's point of view is just the opposite. The most important thing now is not to overthrow the East Palace, but to use the overthrow of the East Palace to help the Guanlong clan to occupy a dominant position and gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations with Li Ji. With the prince in Hexi to restrain him, how could Li Ji be willing to overthrow Guanlong and support the new king himself and then fight with the prince to death?
The Guanlong family can be used as the "sword" in his hand. Instead of killing Guanlong, he will try his best to open up a few areas to help Guanlong regain his strength and fight against the prince and Youtunwei... …
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, nodded in approval, let out a long breath, and said with a wry smile: "I have always been arrogant and thought that the general situation of the world was under control. Instead, I raised my troops this time and faced many setbacks in the process. Realizing that not only was he physically inadequate, but also that it was even more difficult to see God's will, he single-handedly pushed the Guanlong clan to the brink of life and death. Everything was lost and everything was overturned at every turn. Fang Jun's fire outside the Jinguang Gate almost burned my life... But fortunately, the clouds finally cleared and the moonlight regained control of the situation. As long as we fight steadily, victory is within reach. It’s time to plan how to negotiate with Li Ji.”
Yu Wenshi was convinced.
The grain stored outside Jinguang Gate was burned down by Fang Jun, a divine general. This directly caused the Guanlong clan to completely abandon the private armies of clan clans from all over the country who had entered Guanzhong. Even their own army fell into a food shortage, and everyone was wailing. , morale is at its lowest.
At that time, even the most optimistic Guan Longxungui could not imagine how an army lacking food could win the final victory...
However, after going around and around, the situation suddenly became clear, especially Changsun Wuji's magical move of deploying the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" into the city, which directly captured the impregnable Taiji Palace defense line, completely reversing the situation of the battle, and victory seemed to be within easy reach.
After passing this hurdle, Guanlong's confidence doubled, and he began to think about how to negotiate with Li Ji, trying to preserve his own strength amidst the oppression of hundreds of thousands of troops under his command...
However, as the two Guanlong bosses imagined the step-by-step process, not only to turn defeat into victory in a desperate situation, but also to preserve as much strength as possible in the negotiation with Li Ji, and even to seize benefits, the door was "bang" " Pushing away with a sound, Yu Wenjie rushed into the hall in two steps, his pale face full of panic and disbelief.
The two bosses turned to look at each other at the same time. Yu Wenshiji frowned and was about to yell something like "Be calm when encountering big things", but Changsun Wuji couldn't say more and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
Then I heard that Yu Wenjie had already taken the lead and said: "The news has just been sent. Fang Jun has used the main force of the right garrison to attack with armored cavalry. The heavy-armed infantry then covered them up. The camp outside Kaiyuanmen has fallen. The Youtun Guards are rushing outside the Jinguang Gate. Hou Mo and Chen Lin are organizing their troops to form a formation. The two sides have already engaged in battle!"
"Poof!"
The sip of tea that Changsun Wuji had just taken into his mouth spat out, choking him and coughing repeatedly. His face turned red. He finally managed to catch his breath, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Yuwenshi opened his mouth for a moment, but finally swallowed the words that reached his lips.
Changsun Wuji seemed very proud of the step of letting the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" enter the city, and the effect was indeed very good. However, at this moment, Fang Jun actually caught the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" and entered the city. The combat power of the Jinguangmen Camp was empty, and it was outrageous. Raising troops to attack would be very troublesome.
Once Hou Mo and Chen Lin are unable to stop the Youtun Guard's surprise attack, Jinguangmen will be completely exposed to the Youtun Guard's attack.
And once the Jinguang Gate falls...
After all, the two bosses have experienced countless ups and downs. Even when faced with such drastic changes, they only panicked for a moment and soon calmed down.
Changsun Wuji calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on the battle at Jinguangmen, investigate again and report again!"
The war in Taiji Palace is currently in full swing. The Guanlong army relied on their superior strength to suppress Donggong Liuli. If troops are rushed to Jinguangmen for reinforcements at this time, the war in Taiji Palace will turn around. This is absolutely unacceptable. of.
Moreover, although Hou Mo and Chen Lin are still young in qualifications, he can be regarded as a rising star in the Guanlong clan. He has always been calm and capable. He can control the tens of thousands of Guanlong troops outside the Jinguang Gate. Even if they cannot defeat the invading powerful enemy, they can still hold on to the camp. ?
To take a step back, even if the army outside the city is overwhelmed by armored cavalry, there is still a Golden Light Gate. Dou Dewei is also considered a leader among the younger generation of Guanlong, how can he hold the Golden Light Gate for a day or two, right?
After all, siege is no better than a field battle. Without huge casualties and long-term consumption, it is difficult to conquer it in one go...
Yu Wenjie nodded and said: "I'll leave my humble position right now."
He turned around and went out. The two people in the hall were silent for a while. Yuwen Shiji was thinking about how to speak. After all, it was Changsun Wuji's idea to mobilize the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" into the city. It was originally a desperate move, hoping that this defensive loophole would not disappear. After Fang Jun found out, unexpectedly, the fate did not come true. The more you feared, the more likely it would happen. If he spoke inappropriately, he would probably cause embarrassment and dissatisfaction to Changsun Wuji...
Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say. The deployment of the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" into the city had indeed fulfilled his strategic intention. The Chengtianmen defense line was knocked down with one blow, and victory was in sight. It was clear that Chang'an City was besieged on all sides, and the news would never reach Fang Jun. The loopholes left by the defense outside the city might not be caught, but it happened.
This was a stroke of genius that sealed the victory, but in the blink of an eye, it might have been a foolish move to dig up Guanlong's grave... How could this make Changsun Wuji feel so embarrassed?
There was silence for a long time, and just when Yuwen Shiji opened his mouth to speak, there were footsteps outside the door again. Yuwen Jie almost rushed into the hall, with a face full of panic: "The army outside the city has been defeated. They fled in all directions and were defeated. Youtunwei is storming Jinguang Gate!”
"Bang Dang" Yu Wenshiji accidentally knocked over the tea cup and said in a voiceless voice: "How is it possible?" (End of this chapter)
