Chapter 3904 A bolt from the blue
Yu Wenshiji lost his voice and said: "How is it possible?"
It's not that he has great confidence in Hou Mo, Chen Lin and the tens of thousands of mobs outside the city, that they will hold on to their position and even repel the powerful enemy, but that there are tens of thousands of people there anyway, and they should be able to resist for a day and a half. Bar?
By then, Jinguangmen had been resisting for two days, and Taiji Palace had already been captured. Whether the prince died or fled had no bearing on the overall situation, and Fang Jun had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
But how long has it been?
The tens of thousands of troops were completely defeated...
Yu Wenjie wiped a cold sweat and said: "It's absolutely true! Youtun's armored cavalry made a surprise attack and overwhelmed the army's position outside the city. Hou Mo and Chen Lin knew that they were defeated and had already led his troops to retreat eastward, leaving Jin Guang behind. The door is exposed to the right guard."
"Bang!"
Yu Wenshiji was so angry that he grabbed the overturned tea cup and threw it to the ground, cursing: "This coward! Tens of thousands of horses were defeated in one blow. It would have been fine if he was willing to die on the battlefield. How dare he lead his soldiers with him?" Withdraw, what a bastard!”
Yu Wenjie, who has always been gentle and gentle, was so angry. It is easy to imagine how furious Changsun Wuji was. However, this was not the time for accountability. Yu Wenjie said quickly: "The main force of the Youtun Guards is coming. Jinguangmen is afraid. It may not be possible to hold on, and we need to send more troops quickly. After all, Dou Dewei... is not of much use."
This is not the time to pay attention to favors. Although this sentence of "not useful" will definitely offend the Fufeng Dou family, how can you care so much at the critical moment? If we cannot hold on to the Jinguang Gate, once the Youtun Guards break into the city, with their well-equipped, well-trained, and high-morale troops, they may immediately attack Yanshoufang and cut off the army that is currently fighting bloody battles in the Taiji Palace. road.
By that time, the situation will be unimaginable...
After all, it was all going through the storm. Changsun Wuji and Yuwenshiji quickly calmed down. The former asked: "Who is on the front line of Chengtianmen as a backup at the moment?"
Yuwenjie said: "It's the Duke of Jianping County."
Changsun Wuji frowned slightly.
Duke Yu Suigu of Jianping County was one of the "Eight Pillar States" of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yu Jin, the Duke of Yan, the nephew of Zhan Shiyu Zhining, the minister of Zhongshu and the crown prince, married the daughter of Princess Fangling and Dou Fengjie. A rare young man among the Guanlong clan.
Yu Zhining has a close relationship with Dong Gong. The whole Yu family in Luoyang is divided into two due to the general direction of the family. One part stands with Yu Zhining to support the Prince of Dong Palace and condemns the treacherous and unethical behavior of the Guanlong clan. The other part is based on the eldest son. The eldest grandson, Yu Suigu, took the lead and closely followed the decisions of the Guanlong clan, trying to overthrow the East Palace and seize greater benefits.
But the word "Yu" cannot be written twice in one stroke. Although the uncle and nephew have differences of opinion for a while, their fundamental interests are still the same. At this time, if Yu Suigu is sent to Jinguangmen for reinforcements, will he simply give up after seeing that the situation is not good? What happened when the Golden Gate was opened to welcome Youtun Wei into the palace?
Yu Wenshiji understood Changsun Wuji's concerns and reminded him in a low voice: "The more times like these, the more we must trust everyone."
Changsun Wuji was shocked, nodded and said: "That's exactly it!"
There were already many cracks within Guanlong, and they were already on the verge of collapse. However, Changsun Wuji used a strong hand to pinch them together, and then used the factor of raising troops to cause trouble to bind the various families together. Only then did everything go smoothly. It seems It’s like we’re in the same boat.
But as long as the situation repeats, especially when it is on the verge of despair, each family will inevitably have their own thoughts. If Changsun Wuji expresses doubts about the intentions of the Yu family in Luoyang at this time, it will immediately make the other Guanlong clans feel alienated, and then feel dirty. .
Without a united Guanlong clan, how can we fight this battle?
He said to Yu Wenjie: "Immediately order Yu Suigu to lead his troops to Jinguangmen for reinforcements, and tell him that as long as he blocks the Youtun Guards, he will be the greatest contributor after this battle, and I will also toast him with a glass of wine! But if he can't be stopped, Then the situation is completely reversed, and the life and death of the Guanlong clan is at stake!”
Yuwenjie responded: "Here!"
He quickly turned around and went out, asked the soldiers to bring the horses, and rushed to Chengtianmen in person to find Yu Suigu to convey the military order.
After he left, Changsun Wuji said: "Invite all the heads of the families here. When life and death are at stake, everyone should work together in the same boat without hiding any personal interests. We should use our last bit of strength to capture Taiji Palace as soon as possible, otherwise we will wait until the house is destroyed." When Jun broke into the city, everyone drank a glass of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk, and walked together on the road to Huangquan. ”
Yu Wenshi nodded and said: "That's exactly what it should be."
When he came to the door, he called a scribe and ordered him to send people to all the families in Guanlong and invite all the heads of the families here.
Returning to his chair and sitting down, Yu Wenshiji looked at the fragments of the teacup on the ground and muttered: "The city of Chang'an is under siege. We have mobilized the private soldiers of Woye Town to enter the city. Logically speaking, Fang Jun would not know about it. Even if he did, he would not know about it." How could he dare to use all his strength to attack Jinguangmen even if he didn’t know all the inside information?”
It is impossible for Guanlong to leak internal secrets, not to mention the fact that the "Woye Town private soldiers" were transferred to Chang'an. Even the Guanlong families do not know much about it. Even if they know, it is difficult for anyone to betray their own interests and reveal the information. To Fang Jun?
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Could it be Li Ji?"
It is naturally impossible to hide the changes in the situation in Chang'an from Li Ji. At least now, I am afraid that half of the Guanlong clan have secretly contacted Li Ji.
Yu Wenshiji thought for a while and was not sure: "If Li Ji didn't want to see the East Palace fall, wouldn't it be better to return to the court as early as possible to quell the war? He could also get a good reputation as 'the white jade pillar holding up the sky and the purple golden beam bridging the sea' , a truly unparalleled achievement! Why do you want to be so secretive and send the message to the prince to death? "
Changsun Wuji frowned tightly and was speechless for a long time.
Who can understand Li Ji's thoughts? He sneaked back to Chang'an from the Eastern Expedition Army, thinking that as long as he could get rid of the Eastern Palace quickly enough and depose the prince, the overall situation would be completely under his control. Even Li Ji, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, could only surrender and surrender. Unless you dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
However, Li Ji's actions were beyond everyone's expectations. Instead of rushing back to Chang'an to settle the chaos and seize power, he leisurely walked away for half a year and ignored the continuous fierce battles in Chang'an. It was determined that the Guanlong army could not defeat the East Palace so quickly.
Facts have proved that Donggong's toughness is indeed extraordinary. Changsun Wuji's plan was shattered into pieces, and the situation slipped step by step into an unknown situation... But why did Li Ji dare to be so sure?
What is he doing for this?
If you are "loyal", you should travel thousands of miles back to Guanzhong to calm down the chaos and help the prince ascend the throne; if you are meritorious, you should either help the prince to resolve the chaos and serve as a follower of the dragon, or sit back and watch the destruction of the East Palace to wipe out Guanlong in one fell swoop and establish a new crown prince. ...However, looking at Li Ji's actions, it seems that they have nothing to do with these two items.
"Bang!"
The door was knocked open again, and the huge sound startled the two people who were meditating. When they looked up, it was Yuwen Jie again...
Yu Wenshiji frowned and said: "Didn't I ask you to send a message to Yu Suigu? His troops have gathered outside Chengtian Gate. They only need to convey the military order and they can leave immediately. They should have arrived at Jinguang Gate by now, right? You should Those who are watching from the side, after all...what's wrong with you?"
Halfway through, I wanted to reprimand Yu Wenjie, but when I saw Yu Wenjie sweating profusely and swallowing saliva, I was immediately surprised.
Changsun Wuji also stared at him.
Yu Wenjie took a few deep breaths, and then said in a shaky voice: "The Golden Light Gate is broken..."
Changsun Wuji, Yu Wenshiji and others were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Youtunwei raided the army outside the city and routed tens of thousands of troops until they reached the Jinguang Gate. How long did it take before the Jinguang Gate was broken down?
Youtunwei is indeed powerful, but he is not lightning either!
Changsun Wuji asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that the news was wrong? Dou Dewei was guarding the Golden Light Gate. Even if he was defeated, he didn't even ask for help from the beginning to the end. How could it be broken?"
Dou Dewei is indeed far less talented than Fang Jun, but after all, he is also a leading figure among the younger generation of Guanlong. He has a good family background, is smart, and has the experience of leading troops since he was a child. Even if he cannot guard the Golden Gate, what will happen? Maybe it was captured by Youtunwei so quickly?
Yu Wenjie spoke quickly, with an anxious look on his face: "I informed Yu Suigu from my humble position. Before he led his army to the West City, he saw the defenders of Jinguang Gate retreating in defeat. I went up to ask and learned that when the Youtun guards came to the city ,sinus Dewei was afraid of the enemy and had already climbed down the city wall first. As soon as the right guards attacked the city, he led his troops to escape... I heard from the soldiers that Dou Dewei abandoned the city and fled and returned to the mansion. "
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but suddenly his heart hurt and his vision went dark. He quickly reached out to cover his chest and took a deep breath.
The situation was originally going well, and the Tai Chi Palace was about to be completely captured. All the preparations were completed, but why did everything suddenly change?
