Chapter 4360 The situation is critical
Li Daliang instigated a rebellion against many middle- and lower-level generals in Youtunwei, which almost shook the foundation of Youtunwei. Although Fang Jun returned to put them out, injuries to his muscles and bones were inevitable. Afterwards, there was a battle with Zuo Tunwei. Even if Chai Zhewei was incompetent, Zuo Tunwei's tens of thousands of soldiers were not sheep and calves, and it was impossible for Right Tunwei to be unscathed.
Now the Youtun Guards have concentrated their elite troops to attack the Xuanwu Gate...
After several battles, the Youtun Guards, no matter how strong the army is, cannot withstand such torture. How many soldiers can be retained and how much combat power can be maintained?
Under such circumstances, the best strategy for the Right Guards is to send troops to harass the Left Guards as they cross the river, delay the incident as much as possible to end the battle at Xuanwumen, and then make every effort to deal with the Left Guards who are exhausted and in confusion during the process of crossing the river.
But now the right guard doesn't seem to pay attention to the left guard at all. They are just waiting for all the left guards to cross the river and defeat them once and for all...
Fang Jun is a man who knows the military. In the past, he was invincible and invincible. His numerous achievements were not obtained out of thin air. How could such a person make a big strategic mistake? How could we not know that once the war with Zuohouwei becomes anxious, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction of all the armies in Guanzhong?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
The only explanation is that Fang Jun doesn't pay attention to Zuo Wei at all and is sure that it can be decided in a battle.
Now that Dou Xi once again confirmed that the output of the Foundry Bureau could never support Youtun Guards' equipment with sufficient firearms and sufficient projectiles, gunpowder, and artillery shells, Yin Qinzhou could not help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.
You, Fang Jun, are indeed a famous general in the world, with great military exploits and invincibility, but is it too rude to underestimate Zuo Houwei, who has been in charge of the Liquan Yin family for many years?
You underestimated the heroes of the world.
He categorically ordered: "Since Fang Jun is so proud and entrusted, let us help him and order the forward troops not to engage in unauthorized battles with Youtun Guards, but to guard the front line. After all the main forces have crossed the river and have been reorganized, we can concentrate our efforts on fighting Youtun Guards to the death." ! If I can’t defeat even half of the Youtun Guards, how can I face the heroes of the world?”
Do you really think that my Liquan Yin family is just a loser?
Then fight openly and openly. As long as you can defeat the Youtun Guards, even if you only have half of them, it will be enough to make the Liquan Yin family famous.
But for some reason, when the words "half branch of the Youtun Guard" came to my mind, I felt an inexplicable fear.
After all, it was Fang Jun who split the Youtun Guards in two. Half of them followed him on an expedition to the Western Regions and marched thousands of miles to conquer all enemies. The other half stayed outside the Xuanwu Gate and defeated Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei until they lost all their armor... …
"Half a Youtun Guard" is not a sarcastic term, but an incomparable honor.
I just don’t know if I can get rid of the curse of being a “half-armed Youtun Guard”...
No matter what, the arrow had to be fired, and Yin Qinzhou no longer had any room to retreat.
*****
Under the cover of night, countless scouts were running back and forth in the mountains, forests and fields around Chang'an, delivering all kinds of latest news to all parties, and all parties were deducing the development of the situation based on the latest intelligence in order to make decisions about themselves. The most favorable judgment and then decide the action.
When Yu Chigong received the report from the scouts, he rushed outside the Chinese army's tent and knocked on Li Zhi's door to inform him of the news that Yin Qinzhou was forcibly crossing the Wei River and approaching Xuanwu Gate. Your Highness, he jumped up from the bed excitedly, lit the candle with his bare feet, and read the battle report carefully several times...
Even though he endured it again and again, Li Zhi couldn't help but slapped the desk, then held the battle report tightly in his hand, raised his head and exhaled a long breath: "God help me!"
Yin Qinzhou is not from the Guanlong lineage, but has deep entanglements with Guanlong. Now his left guard is brazenly crossing the Weishui River and approaching Xuanwu Gate. They are about to attack the right guard. This will inevitably trigger a chain reaction throughout Guanzhong, just like the ice on the river is being blown away. If it is broken, there will be rough waves and rapids!
There is no need for the left guard to defeat the right guard. As long as the right guard can be suppressed at Xuanwu Gate, the armies and clans from other places will definitely take advantage of the situation and raise troops to participate in the grand event!
Everyone is afraid and dare not take that step rashly. Now that there is such a "pioneer", one move can affect the whole body, and the future situation can almost be imagined...
Yuchi Gong was also very excited and laughed and said: "Although the Zuo Houwei is not a strong general, tens of thousands of troops are not ordinary. The Right Guards have suffered heavy losses successively and now they are attacking Xuanwu Gate and are unable to defeat them. How can we defeat them?" Yin Qinzhou only needs Fang Jun to show a trace of defeat? Like, the entire Guanzhong army will pounce on him like mad dogs and tear him to pieces! Without the threat of Fang Jun outside the Xuanwu Gate, the entire Tai Chi Palace will be open to the Guanzhong Army. When the time comes, they will all rush into the Tai Chi Palace, and the overall situation will be determined! ”
"Haha, who would have thought that Yin Qinzhou would be so bold?"
Li Zhi was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He returned to the bed with bare feet and squatted down. He stuck out his butt and stretched out his hand to fumble under the bed, and pulled out a wine jar...
He stood up and put the wine jar on the table, opened the clay seal, took the teacup and filled two glasses of wine. He handed one cup to Yu Chigong and said boldly: "This news is a blessing from God. Come, come, drink it." ! ”
Yuchi Gong took the wine, and he didn't care about the military discipline that prohibits drinking in the army. The two clinked their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.
"Ha... so happy!"
The gloom in his heart for the past few days was almost gone, making Li Zhi feel happy and excited.
Yin Qinzhou suddenly raised troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, which had a huge impact even more far-reaching than Cheng Yaojin's defection, which was enough to turn the entire occupation upside down. Next, we need to see who becomes the second person to raise troops brazenly after Yin Qinzhou The people who attacked Chang'an.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that Yin Qinzhou has fired the first shot and become the icebreaker, the rest will naturally fall into place...
Yuchi Gong grabbed the wine jar, filled the tea cup, drank it all again, then wiped the wine stains on his beard, and let out a long breath: "I was worried that Li Daozong would do whatever he wanted after he contributed to Wude Palace, but now His Highness can sit back and relax. ”
Li Zhi nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.
In the past, even if Li Daozong could break into the Wude Palace to control the emperor, he would most likely support another prince as emperor on his own initiative. At that time, Li Zhi would be extremely passive. As long as others can enter the palace, Li Daozong will not dare to act arbitrarily as a restraint. He can only wait for Li Zhi to enter the palace and take the throne, otherwise Li Daozong will become the target of public criticism and others will take his side.
In this way, Li Zhi can just keep mercenaries under Mingde's door and wait for the good news to come, without having to take the risk of creating a gap under the powerful threats of Donggong Liuli, Cheng Yaojin, and the Xue, Liu, and Zheng coalition forces.
The situation is completely different.
It is true that not everyone can bear the ecstasy after the ultimate suppression of fear and fear. It is no wonder that Li Zhi lost his composure...
It is possible to reach the top in one step from now on, who can remain calm?
……
Thirty miles away from Yuanqiu, in the Zuowuwei barracks, Cheng Yaojin also received the news almost at the same time.
There were candles burning in the handsome tent. Cheng Yaojin sat behind the desk and read the battle report close to the candle, his eyebrows furrowed tightly...
After a long while, Cheng Yaojin muttered and cursed after reading the battle report: "Mother, did this old boy Yin Qinzhou take the wrong medicine? He risked the world's disapproval like this. I don't want to think that once the battle is finally defeated, the whole family will be sent to death." Going to the execution ground, the blood of the Liquan Yin family has been cut off? It’s crazy!”
Why, as the Jin army approaches Chang'an, why do the various armies and clans in Guanzhong make people dare not act rashly and can only watch the fire from the other side? It is because once the mutiny fails, no one involved can bear the cruel consequences.
Especially for the first person who raised an army to attack Chang'an and tried to overthrow the emperor's rule, if he failed, even the disaster of annihilation would be light, and the entire clan would be implicated, and the "three Yi clans" were among the most serious crimes. Felony.
But now Yin Qinzhou is doing this...
Excluding the consequences that Yin Qinzhou may bear, this move will also completely stimulate all the Guanzhong troops and various local officials. Since someone takes the lead, it is like someone lit the first torch in the dark night. This spark is enough to start a prairie fire.
As expected, countless armies will rise up and rush to Xuanwu Gate to besiege Fang Jun.
Of course, the premise is that even if the left guard cannot defeat the right guard, he can still maintain a stalemate with the right guard...
"Fang Er is in danger."
Niu Jinda, who took the battle report and read it, sighed worriedly.
He was defeated under the siege of multiple armies, and could not retreat to Xuanwu Gate to escape. He would either be defeated and captured, or die in the rebel army. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he could only escape to the south of the Yangtze River and lead the navy under his command to escape. Overseas, to be a barbarian king... a great future was lost in one fell swoop, and all the ambitions were in vain.
Cheng Yaojin agreed with this, but after thinking a few times, he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and suddenly asked: "In your opinion, would Fang Jun have foreseen this dangerous situation?"
Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "From the beginning to the end, I felt that His Majesty and Fang Er were taking risks. It didn't have to be like this. They directly ordered you, Commander-in-Chief, to lead Zuo Wuwei and Dong Palace. With the six troops attacking Tongguan together, and the combined forces of Xue, Liu, and Zheng, the probability of annihilating the King of Jin is extremely high. And if His Majesty really gave the order, could the commander-in-chief still openly disobey the order? But His Majesty stayed in the Tai Chi Palace all the time? Without saying a word or seeing any movement, he allowed the King of Jin to break through the pass and sweep through the pass all the way to the city of Chang'an... If His Majesty did it deliberately, then he would definitely have considered all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and the goal was to Lead the snake out of the hole, let all the forces that are not loyal to His Majesty jump out, and cut them off one by one. How can we not take those people into account and attack them?"
Obviously, His Majesty was well prepared for the Jin King's rebellion, and Fang Jun, as His Majesty's confidant, obeyed his words. Many of these things were almost certainly planned by Fang Jun. In this case, how could Fang Jun not anticipate the critical situation and be prepared?
