Chapter 554 ????? Changsun Wuji rebelled!
Chapter 554 Changsun Wuji rebelled!
After receiving Li Shimin's oral order, Changsun Wuji left the palace to send someone to inform Changsun Huan and ordered him to act according to the previous plan.
For a time, the nobles who were interested in Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji sent monks to attack Shengdao and Li Zheng and other Fangqu.
Changsun Huan rode on the horse, watching thousands of black generals follow him, and felt proud and thought to himself: With these thousands of tiger and wolf troops, they will be more than enough to capture Li Chengqian's mob, so why should I escape from the Tang Dynasty?"
But he didn't expect that the people of Shengdaofang would be prepared, and built fortifications in the walls of the yard, using weapons made by the steel mill in the Leyouyuan.
The young and strong guardian of Fangqu is the people living in Fangqu, and their parents, wives and families are behind them. They know that the Tang Dynasty crown prince Li Chengqian is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an City, less than a day's journey.
However, these subordinates sent by various families are not elite.
Like Changsun Wuji, the other families were incompatible with Li Chengqian. While fighting, they were also considering whether to leave Chang'an City first.
Or send elite troops from the family to protect important members of the family from Chang'an.
In short, before the turmoil in Chang'an City, no one was willing to send out the elite troops of the family and hand them over to others for command.
The people sent to Changsun Huan are cannon fodders that can be abandoned in various families at any time. These people may be able to show off their power on weekdays, but when they encounter difficult offensive and defensive battles, these people are more timid than anyone else. Not to mention Changsun Huan, Gao Shenxing commanded, even if they handed these people over to Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Li Shiji, it would be difficult to form combat effectiveness in the short term.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian arrived in Chang'an City only tomorrow, and the young and strong guarding the Fangqu were not in a hurry to rush out to welcome him.
Changsun Huan and Gao Shenxing were able to command the mobs and surround a few Fangqu, which was temporarily the upper hand.
...
Twenty miles east of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian stood in the car looking around, looked up at the huge black clouds rising from the sky, and sighed helplessly: God saw the chaos in the world, so he also came to join in the fun.
Li Shiji, who was driving, laughed and said, "Your Highness, the dark clouds in the sky are the signs of treacherous slander in the court. Although it is now covered by the sky, when it encounters strong wind, thunder and lightning, it turns into rain and scatters on the land of Guanzhong, and it is difficult to get into power."
Li Chengqian felt better after hearing this. Looking at Li Shiji's back, he thought to himself: I haven't seen Li Shiji flatter in front of Li Shimin in recent years. Now he not only drives a car for me, but also flatters from time to time. In his eyes, am I a foolish monarch? Or is Li Shimin's country injustice and does not deserve his praise?
Just as Li Chengqian was thinking, he saw a spy with a red flag behind him riding a fast horse and coming from the west, knowing that it was news from Chang'an City.
"It seems that Changsun Guojiu is really rebelling." Li Shiji glanced at the spy and said inexplicably.
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin's back and said, "Not necessarily, Changsun Wuji is an old fox."
When Li Shiji heard this, he snorted coldly: Old fox? How old is the opponent of you father and son?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, and he had to agree on the surface.
At a moment, the spy came close to report to Li Chengqian about the current situation in Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian immediately stopped the car and ordered the accompanying ministers and generals to discuss matters before coming to the car.
At a moment, all the ministers arrived and lined up under Li Chengqian's carriage, waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.
Li Chengqian stood on the carriage with a calm face and looked at the ministers and said, "News from Chang'an City are coming out. Changsun Wuji falsely passed the imperial edict, claiming that Your Majesty had the intention to abolish the crown prince. Not only did he detain the scholar Chu, but he also sent his family generals to besiege the people in the city for no reason, and wanted to murder the orphan king."
Li Shiji, who was at the top of the military general, asked with a sad expression: "I wonder what happened to Your Majesty?"
Li Chengqian also said sadly: "Your Majesty has not been out for many days, and no one knows the news about Your Majesty."
"ah!"
When the ministers heard that something might happen to Li Shimin, they were all so beautiful.
"Changsun Wuji is really a wolfish ambition."
"Your Majesty is very favored to him."
"It should be cut into pieces."
...
...
In the past, the ministers were concerned that Changsun Wuji was Li Chengqian's biological uncle. No matter what Li Chengqian called him, they called him Changsun Guoji in person. Now they heard that he had rebelled and might harm Li Shimin, so they all called him a name and scolded him directly.
After Li Chengqian finished cursing the ministers, he spread his hands and said wailingly: "The chaos in Chang'an is in chaos. It seems that no one will leave the city tomorrow. We will welcome us."
After hearing this, the ministers were all silent for a moment. Although they were mentally prepared, they knew that they would force Li Shimin to abdicate this time. However, forcing each person to force him to do so, and before entering Chang'an City, such a sudden change occurred, and the ministers could not cope with it for a while.
Li Shiji solemnly saluted Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, the rebels rebelled and Chang'an is in chaos. Your Majesty's life and death are unknown. You urgently need your Prince to lead your army back to Chang'an to determine the world. I ask Your Highness to order the army to speed up back to Chang'an City immediately."
"What do you think?"
Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but looked at the ministers first.
Du Zhenglun, who was standing at the head of the civil ministers, immediately bowed and shouted when he saw the question: "Changsun rebelled and Chang'an was in turmoil. Your Majesty was controlled by the traitors and was in danger. Your Highness should immediately lead the army back to Chang'an to quell the rebels and save Your Majesty. This is the righteousness of the son of man. I swear to follow Your Highness to the death."
As he said that, he bowed to the end, indicating that he was willing to take his life and life.
"I am willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the death."
...
The other civil officials and military generals were not slow to move. They just waited for Du Zhenglun to say that, and bowed to salute and expressed their feelings loudly.
"good!"
Seeing this, Li Chengqian knew that the matter was done, shouted loudly, and then said with a loud voice: "Transfer the Orphan King to march with all his might today. Be sure to rush to the east of the Ba River before dark."
"Abide by the order!" The messenger stepped onto the fast horse and ran towards the military formation, loudly conveying Li Chengqian's orders while running.
"Li Xiang obeyed the order." Li Chengqian shouted loudly.
"My son is here!"
Li Xiang, wearing silver armor, bowed and bowed.
Li Chengqian looked at him and saw that although Li Xiang was full of heroism, she still couldn't hide her childishness in her voice.
"I ordered you to lead a hundred guards to the Su Dingfang army to pass an order, and ordered him to lead his army to the outside of Chang'an City before noon tomorrow." Li Chengqian gave the order and took out a fish talisman.
"Abide by the order!"
Li Xiang bowed again, took the fish talisman, turned around and stepped onto the war horse, and led the guards to the road.
Li Chengqian looked at Liu Rengui again and shouted again:
"Liu Rengui obeys the order."
"I'm here." Liu Rengui bowed and clasped his fists and waited for Li Chengqian to order.
Li Chengqian looked at him and ordered loudly: "The Lord King ordered you to lead three thousand Qiang soldiers as the vanguard of the army to camp on the west bank of the Ba River."
"Abide by the order!"
Liu Rengui bowed another time and went to dispatch troops.
When the other ministers saw that the general order had been passed, they also stepped on their war horses and returned to their respective arrays, pressing the army to speed up the marching speed.
At present, the army was led by the three thousand Qiang soldiers led by Liu Rengui, followed by Li Chengqian's chariot and five thousand cavalry, forming a long military formation and heading westward.
There were many guns and halberds on the army, flags and flags were flying, and behind the war horses, dust was flying, and yellow dust rolled, and rushed straight to Chang'an City like a yellow dragon.
