Chapter 428: Mission Impossible
In the secret passage under the Governor's Mansion, Xue Rengui and the others were ready for a surprise attack, and at this moment, the white tiger came to his side panting and said to him: "Xue Rengui, the prince ordered the assault to be canceled, and all the team members withdrew from the secret passage. ”
Xue Rengui was very depressed in his heart, and he didn't understand what was going on.
Zhou Qing said worriedly: "The rebels will soon find out that the construction in the Governor's Mansion is missing, and they will definitely think that this matter is related to the tunnel." This tunnel can no longer be used. Losing this opportunity, it will be difficult to attack the Governor's Mansion again. ”
Xue Rengui also felt a little regretful, but he believed that His Royal Highness King Qi must have his reasons for doing this. He instructed: "Execute the order of the prince, and all the special combat personnel withdraw from the secret passage." ”
East 14th Square.
Not only did Xue Rengui and Zhou Qing and others not understand, but even Zhang Guigui, Yin Guanghao and others didn't understand why they gave up such a good opportunity to capture Changsun Shunde and others and quickly put down the rebellion?
Zhang Guigui and others asked Li You the reason, and Li You just said: "Don't ask more, let's think of other ways." ”
Now that the tunnels can no longer be used, the people in the Governor's Mansion have become alert, and it is already very difficult to force a surprise attack.
Moreover, Luoyang City has now entered a tense state, the curfew has also been restored, and there are many patrols on the streets at night, and they can act in makeup during the day, but it is easier to expose the target at night than during the day.
Tomorrow, the meeting convened by the eldest grandson Shunde will be over, and the officials will return to various places, and the rebellion will officially begin. In other words, there is only one day left for Li You and the others.
Actually, Li You was really helpless, he received a letter from Empress Changsun, asking him to try to keep Changsun Shunde. If Li You raided the Governor's Mansion as originally planned, he would definitely cause an uproar in Luoyang City. The rebellion of the eldest grandson Shunde will be known to the whole world, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to pardon the eldest grandson Shunde.
If Li You wants to rescue the eldest grandson Shunde, the only way is to negotiate the conditions with the eldest grandson Shunde and let him give up the rebellion, which is also an almost impossible task.
There are several major problems in this, one of them, even if the eldest grandson Shunde stopped the rebellion, how to explain his corruption to the people of the world? He had already been convicted of rebellion, and even if he had stopped the rebellion, it would have been an attempted rebellion. If you don't dispose of him, you won't be able to explain it to the rest of the world.
Second, the eldest grandson Shunde has a heavy army in his hands, occupying the prosperous place of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and there are relatives and friends outside to respond, and he has the strength to fight hard. In other words, no one is willing to give up the strength in their hands and leave their fate to others to dispose of.
Third, even if you can come up with a solution that fulfills both worlds, it is difficult to negotiate with the eldest grandson Shunde and get him to agree with this solution.
Fourth, in order to protect himself, the eldest grandson Shunde agreed to the terms of the negotiation. However, the generals and officials under him who followed him, in order to protect themselves, would not agree to the betrayal of Changsun Shunde.
Moreover, the time is only a short day, and it can even be said that it is only tomorrow morning, because tomorrow afternoon, those officials will leave Luoyang City and carry out the task assigned by the eldest grandson Shunde.
The reason why Li You decided to fulfill Empress Changsun's wish was not just for Empress Changsun.
There are many ways to quell a rebellion, and Li You wants to find one that will do the least harm to the royal family, the imperial court, and society.
Even if the Governor's Mansion has just been forcibly assaulted, and the Changsun Shunde and others can be successfully captured, bloody clashes will break out, and many innocent soldiers' lives, including special combat team members, will be sacrificed. And there is no guarantee that they will be able to absolutely control the situation and completely control Changsun Shunde and others.
Even if they successfully captured the commander Sun Shunde and all the officials, they did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to fully control the situation in Luoyang City.
Once chaos is caused, some junior officers and soldiers, as well as ruffians and hooligans, take advantage of the fire to loot, and the high-ranking officials are controlled by the special combat personnel and cannot be stopped, and it is very likely that a riot will be caused in Luoyang City. At that time, the people in Luoyang City will suffer.
At this time, it was spring, the climate was dry, and the buildings of the Tang Dynasty were mainly made of wood, once the rebels set fire to and looted, if they could not organize effective firefighting operations, the prosperous Luoyang City was likely to be destroyed.
It's not that Li You thinks too much, but it's very likely to happen.
The only way to avoid all this catastrophe is to protect the majority of officials, including the eldest grandson Shunde, and make them consciously abandon their rebellion.
Li You quickly judged the situation and made up his mind.
He commanded; "Everyone get ready, at the latest tomorrow at noon, the forced assault on the Luoyang Governor's Mansion. Xue Rengui was in charge of this matter with full authority. ”
After speaking, he called Lu Xiaoqi, told him alone, and sent him to Xunfang Pavilion.
After Xue Rengui received the task, he and Zhang Guigui, Hou Cheng, Zhou Qing and others studied how to enter the Governor's Mansion, how to control the tunnels after entering, and how to block the rescue of the judgment army. The only thing they didn't study was how to evacuate the Governor's Mansion safely.
This is a battle to the death for moths to fight the fire, and there is no chance of success and no failure. The crowd was ready to sacrifice.
Seeking Fang Pavilion.
Lu Xiaoqi entered the show building, and several dancers saw a handsome little brother coming in, and they stepped forward to greet him.
"Oh, this little man is so handsome, let the slave family serve you." A dancer stepped forward and put her hand on Lu Xiaoqi's shoulder.
Lu Xiaoqi didn't have time to take care of her, so he walked straight to the old bustard Wang Siniang, took out a few Persian silver coins, and handed them over first.
Wang Siniang hadn't seen anyone yet, her eyes were staring at the Persian silver coin in Lu Xiaoqi's hand, and she suddenly smiled. She first reached out and grabbed the Persian silver coin, then turned her face to Lu Xiaoqi and asked, "This little Langjun, which girl do you like here?" ”
Lu Xiaoqi said: "Old bustard, I'll look for you." ”
The fat on Wang Siniang's smiling face trembled, and she said, "You little Langjun is so interesting." How do you want to play with my sister? ”
Lu Xiaoqi took out a money bag from his sleeve and opened a small slit, revealing the glittering Persian silver coins inside. said: "Old bustard, take a step to speak." ”
Not long after, a young man from Xunfang Pavilion led Lu Xiaoqi to the Governor's Mansion. They said they asked to see the small fish. The doorman didn't let Lu Xiaoqi in, and only let the young man in.
Soon, Fang Xiaoyu came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Fang Xiaoyu whispered in her ear for a while, Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Please go back and tell your master, Xiaoyu do your best."
