Chapter 144 Yin Ziqi's bold vision
Because they already knew about the assassination of An Lushan tonight, Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi had already ordered their generals to be on strict guard. As soon as the news came, they took action immediately, preparing to rush to the palace according to An Qingxu's order. , surrounded the imperial palace, disarmed the troops guarding Anlu Mountain, or annihilated them on the spot. After taking control of Luoyang Palace and Shangyang Palace, he then issued orders to all military generals and the main officers with the order of the newly enthroned emperor An Qingxu. Ministers came into the palace to discuss matters. If anyone was unwilling to obey An Qingxu, he would be arrested or eliminated immediately.
Because the current situation is not good, the Tang army's troops are pressing forward and will soon arrive at Luoyang City. If the incident is not calmed down with the power of thunder, there will be chaos in the city, and there will be no way to withstand the Tang army's attack.
Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi had been waiting for the news from An Qingxu. After receiving a report from the sergeant that hundreds of cavalry were coming here quickly, Tian Qianzhen, who was guarding Dexian Gate, knew that the situation was not good and assassinated him. The operation must have failed, so we rushed out.
Seeing An Qingxu running over at the top, followed by his bodyguards, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang and others, Tian Qianzhen's heart sank to the bottom of the water. They failed, and the situation he least wanted to see became a reality. I really regret siding with An Qingxu.
As expected, this prince was not a man who could achieve great things. His careful plan did not bring about the desired results.
God-like opponents are scary, but what's even more terrifying is meeting teammates who are like pigs.
But now it has become a situation of riding a tiger, and there is only one way to go dark.
"General Tian, the assassination of Li Zhu'er failed!" After seeing Tian Qianzhen, An Qingxu wailed with a mournful face: "Father probably still doesn't know who instigated it. He didn't ask anyone to search the East Palace. Gu and Yan Shilang, Gao Shilang took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and went to General Tian to discuss countermeasures with General Tian and General Yin."
"His Royal Highness, hurry to the tent. The general will immediately send a message to General Yin to discuss matters. Your Highness, don't worry too much. Your Majesty's troops can't do anything to us for the time being!" Tian Qianzhen comforted An Qingxudao, and immediately sent An Qing to When they reached Yanzhuang, Gao Shang and others brought him into his tent and asked people to quickly tell Yin Ziqi to come over to discuss matters.
Rushing to Tian Qianzhen's territory, An Qingxu felt refreshed. He had been frightened just now. However, he was still in shock. As soon as he entered Tian Qianzhen's tent, he immediately asked the people around him: "Shilang Yan, Shilang Gao, General Tian , the assassination operation failed, what are our next plans?"
Tian Qianzhen looked at An Qingxu, and then at Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang, who were out of breath after riding a horse. He was panting with his mouth wide open. He did not express his opinion immediately, but asked An Qingxu: "The general doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince has What are your plans? Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to establish himself as king, defect to another place, or surrender to the Tang army?"
Although the countermeasures after the failure were discussed in advance, there seemed to be no final decision. In addition, An Qingxu asked so, so of course he did not dare to answer on his own initiative. Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang were also discouraged and had no confidence to answer.
Now they are almost like phoenixes in distress. They are not as effective as Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi, who are leading generals with heavy troops. The only ones who can make decisions are An Qingxu, Tian Qianzhen, and Yin Ziqi. The general is leading the army.
"I don't know. That's why I asked everyone!" An Qingxu looked frustrated.
At this moment, Yin Ziqi came over quickly.
Of course, he was fully aware of the changes in the situation and was considering the next countermeasures along the way.
Yin Ziqi has always been known for his decisiveness in killing and acting resolutely. As he walked along, he quickly thought of countermeasures. As soon as he entered Tian Qianzhen's tent, he saw An Qingxu sitting at the top. There was a look of frustration on his face. The expressions of solemnity and nobleness were similar, but Tian Qianzhen didn't have much difference. He also knew what was going on. However, he still saluted An Qingxu first and asked about the relevant matters. Condition.
An Qingxu also briefly explained the situation, and immediately asked Yin Ziqi: "General Yin, I just want to ask you, what should we do next?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. The Tang army is about to attack the city. Your Majesty's troops dare not use all their strength to deal with us!" Yin Ziqi was not as panicked as the others.
Although Tian Qianzhen didn't fully understand what Yin Ziqi meant, he nodded in agreement with what Yin Ziqi said, "Your Highness, I agree with what General Yin said, so please don't panic!"
But Yan Zhuang did not have the same confidence as Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi. He immediately advised An Qingxu: "Your Highness, according to what I have seen, your Majesty will soon find out who instigated this assassination. Li Zhuer is sure I can't keep my mouth shut, and maybe I've confessed now. Your Majesty is mobilizing troops to arrest His Highness and us, and search our brothers. I also ask Your Highness to decide on the next arrangements as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. According to what I see, we are now The only way out is to surrender to the Tang Army. Only by relying on the Tang Army will we not be destroyed by His Majesty. As long as we lead our troops to surrender, the Emperor of Tang will definitely not treat us badly."
They still have the capital to bargain with the Tang army. If there is no army around, then the bargaining capital will be completely lost. Although Yan Zhuang does not lead the army, he also knows this principle. According to his guess, after Li Zhuer failed, They will be confessed immediately who is the instigator, and An Lushan will take action soon. If they don't take countermeasures now and let An Lushan's arresting army arrive at the north gate, they may not be able to escape, even if they can escape. , there will be very few troops left under his command, he will lose the qualification to bargain with the Tang court, and it is not certain that he will eventually become a prisoner of the Tang army or An Lushan.
However, just when Yan Zhuang finished speaking and An Qingxu had not yet responded, Yin Ziqi expressed a different meaning: "Your Royal Highness, the general thinks that we can leave without abandoning Luoyang City. According to the general's knowledge, the Tang Army's Yang Xibu and Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi's troops came to Luoyang really quickly. Their purpose must be to capture Luoyang. If we continue to defend Luoyang's north gate and let them in directly when the Tang army attacks the city, and let them deal with His Majesty's men, then we will Isn’t it possible to reap the benefits of the fishermen? When the Tang army and His Majesty’s men fight to the death and both sides suffer, wouldn’t that be our opportunity?”
"Ah?!" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Yin Ziqi would still have such thoughts, but immediately someone understood what Yin Ziqi meant.
When the Tang army and An Lushan's troops were fighting to the death, if they took the opportunity to take action, their chances of winning would be very high. They would probably be able to annihilate the remnants of the fierce battle between the two sides and regain control of the situation in Luoyang City.
By collecting the remnants of the Tang Army and An Lushan troops, you can completely strengthen your own strength and continue to separate one side.
