Chapter two hundred and ninety-one: a fight to the death
Li Dan did not hesitate, and he immediately went to Ziwei Palace.
Of course, if such a big thing happens, we must report it to the emperor.
Several eunuchs rushed to Ziwei Palace with lanterns, and someone had already informed them first.
The lights of Ziwei Palace gradually lit up, and lanterns lit up. Finally, there was a light in the bedroom. An eunuch came over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Li Dan cheered up and hurried into the hall. When he saw Wu Zetian's hair was sleepy and was about to talk to Li Dan, he coughed desperately. The palace maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward and took the spittoon. Wu Zetian waved his hand and signaled them to walk away. He said, "Is there something big of a deal to ask for a meeting at night?"
Li Dan had been brewing for a long time and cried, "My Queen, Qin Shaoyou has rebelled. At this time, he has raised his troops and rushed straight to Luoyang Palace. Under the banner of killing traitors, he actually wanted to respect his brother as the emperor and do the usurpation of the matter. The thief is very powerful now, and the Queen's health is not good. The son is worried and helpless."
After hearing this, Wu Zetian was shocked.
She couldn't help but say, "Qin Shaoyou is backward? How is this possible?"
Li Dan said: "It's true that the riots will be killed in Luoyang immediately."
Wu Zetian was furious and said, "Is this Qin Shaoyou crazy?"
Li Dan just knelt down but didn't dare to speak!
Wu Zetian sneered, "But you don't have to worry. Luoyang has 100,000 imperial guards, and the city is even more solid. Even if Luoyang is broken and Luoyang Palace is even more dangerous. I marry my daughter to Qin Shaoyou, because I value his loyalty. Who would have expected that he would dare to do this? Then don't blame me for being rude. The sky cannot fall. Since you have mastered the imperial guards, such a thing has happened. Why do you have to tell me? It's time for you to dispatch people to quell the rebellion. I'm waiting for your news in Ziwei Palace."
Li Dan got the "oral order". He was neither happy nor sad, nor good nor bad, and he did not understand Wu Zetian's attitude for a while, but now the power is indeed in his own hands, and he doesn't care about anything at this moment. He responds to it and goes quickly.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Seeing Li Dan leaving, Wu Zetian's face became deeper. She had already relieved her sleepiness, but instead sat in front of the mirror and ordered someone to comb her hair.
Because of the third update, the palace was a little chaotic, but Wu Zetian was calm and relaxed. After a while, Shangguan Wan'er had already arrived. Wan'er quietly walked behind Wu Zetian and whispered to the palace maid: "Let me do it, you go and take a break."
So the palace maid stepped back. Shangguan Wan'er took a silver comb and cleaned Wu Zetian's messy hair, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Chen Yin, the guardian of Chongwenmen, has said hello."
Wu Zetian smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Oh, very good."
Chongwen Gate is a crucial city gate, one of the sixteen gates of Luoyang City. Because it is important, it has been guarded by the general of the leading guard. Just last month, Li Dan immediately replaced the general of the leading guard. The reason was that the original general was old and the person who replaced it was Chen Yin.
Since Li Dan chose to change to Chen Yin, it was naturally because Chen Yin was Li Dan's confidant, but... I'm afraid Li Dan would never know. Chen Yin is actually not only his "confidant", but also a secret spy sent by Wu Zetian to monitor Li Dan. This person is Wu Zetian's person.
After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The breakthrough point is the Chongwen Sect. After taking down the Chongwen Sect, you can meet with Chen Yin's leading guards and go straight to the city gate of Luoyang Palace.
All of this... was discussed before.
Next, the monarch and minister only need to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Of course, Li Dan didn't expect that there was a huge breakthrough in all his deployments, and this breakthrough was enough to be fatal.
However, he personally summoned military officers from various yamen in the north and south, but did not focus on the leadership guards of Chongwen Sect. In his opinion, the leadership guards were his people, as solid as a god. The closest to Mengjin was the Jianchun Gate in Luoyang. The other party launched a rebellion at night, and while the time was rushed, it had a great advantage, that is, it could launch a surprise attack and create chaos at the fastest time.
Therefore, Jianchun Gate, closest to Mengjin, is obviously the most suitable target. Otherwise, detours will waste time and will give Luoyang City more preparations. Once this happens, how could a mere five thousand days of rebels be an opponent of the imperial guards who are waiting for their hard work?
Li Dan's eyes were only placed in Jianchun Gate, which was the best place to fight!
All the powers that can be drawn are gathered here. Li Dan's thinking is simple and effective. Of course, the premise is that the destination of the rebels is chosen here.
Like all the door-grabbing, the rebels obviously don't have much time, and they only have one night.
In one night, guarding a city gate and mobilizing ten times the opponent's strength is enough to ensure that there is no accident.
When Li Dan pointed his fingers hard at Jianchun Gate on the map, he couldn't help but notice that his fingers were trembling. Qin Shaoyou and the others were gambleing, why don't he bet...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the darkness, the brigade of men passed through the galloping path, and countless people surged in the darkness.
Qin Shaoyou rode a horse, and it seemed inconspicuous among the crowd.
But the Wu brothers from the same place followed were all over the place. Soon, Wu Sansi discovered something was wrong. He rushed forward and said, "Captain Qin, is he going to Jianchun Gate?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Jianchun Gate is closest to Mengjin. Since you want to attack Luoyang in surprise, you will naturally take Jianchun Gate first and then take the big event."
Wu Sansi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Captain Qin, didn't I say it just now? The guard of Chongwen Sect has been bribed by me. He detoured the Chongwen Sect and ignited it as a sign. Of course, someone opened the city gate for us. This Jianchun Sect...is afraid of..."
Qin Shaoyou said, "How can you trust such a big thing easily? We are doing big things and there is no shortcut to take. Only by taking Jianchun Gate."
Wu Sansi suddenly became scared and sweated.
Originally everything was being arranged, Qin Shaoyou had discussed with the people of their Wu family at the beginning. Tonight, he broke the Chongwen Sect and took the Luoyang Palace. But now, Qin Shaoyou has changed his mind.
This is nothing to change his mind. After all, such things are about adapting to the situation. But the problem is that if you don’t go to the Chongwen Sect, you will attack Jianchun Sect. Now the army is heading towards Luoyang. Could it be that Li Dan will not notice that Jianchun Sect is closest to Mengjin. No matter how stupid Li Dan is, he will focus all his attention there. He will not go to the good road, but he will take this worst road. This is not an attack camp, this is a siege. The gate of Luoyang City is as solid as a soup. Once it cannot be captured in a short period of time, wouldn’t it be a steal to lose rice?
Wu Sansi was anxious. The Wu family had already made all the bets. Who would like to accompany you, Qin Shaoyou, and he hurriedly said: "That's better, divide a group of troops and I'll go and get Chongwen Sect."
Qin Shaoyou said decisively: "Our army has few soldiers, and we should have clenched a fist to defeat the enemy. How can we divide the troops? Your Highness, King Liang, don't worry, I have my own opinions."
Wu Sansi was even more stunned. He never expected that all this was different from what he expected. Seeing that Qin Shaoyou was determined, and the Tiance army was all Qin Shaoyou's soldiers. No matter what he persuaded him now, he was busy slowing down his horse speed. When his clan brother Wu Chengsi stepped forward, Wu Chengsi said, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Wu Sansi couldn't help but lower his voice: "Things have changed, I'm afraid...hey..."
He told the story, and Wu Chengsi was also very depressed. He was tied up with a chariot by Qin Shaoyou in a confused manner. He thought he would win, but who knew that Qin Shaoyou was rebellious and completely separated from the original plan. However, at present, the two brothers had no choice but to stare at them.

Build the Spring Gate.
From all over the city, teams of military horses began to appear.
In the dark night, the imperial guards from all walks of life climbed up to the city wall.
On the city wall, warriors like forest gathered in the moonlight to form a forest like steel. The pairs of armor, spears, long swords, and Tang imperial guards were always elite. Even if the guards coordinated their operations, they were still orderly and without any confusion.
Compound horn bows have already poked out of the female wall, and sharp arrows have tightened the bowstring.
Several generals pushed the crowd away on the congested city walls, and under the leadership of the guards, they gathered directly at the city tower to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy.
But... When I saw this impregnable defense, some veterans began to become less convinced.
Now that the night attack is ready, there are many heavy troops here. Will Tian Ce army really come?
