Chapter 383: The Change of Xuanwu Gate

It's even more wrong, he's right!

After Ke Qing retreated, Zhang Chao couldn't sleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

got up and went to take a bath, lying in the bath of the bathroom at home, Zhang Chao began to plan the change of Xuanwu Gate. In Zhang Chao's view, Li Shimin wants to leave Chang'an and raise the flag in other places, which is purely the most inferior plan.

Leaving Chang'an means that they will become rebels, and it also means that a civil war in the Tang Dynasty is inevitable.

If this battle continues, it is unknown whether it can be won. And even if you can win, you don't know how long it will be, and if you win in the end, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and it will definitely be more troublesome to clean up a game of endgame. Maybe once the civil war of the Li family starts, there will be Turks moving south, or chaos will arise in various places, and it is not necessary to repeat the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Even if Li Shimin wants to take this road, Zhang Chao will resolutely oppose it, he believes that none of Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others want to fight such a civil war.

The affairs of Chang'an will be solved in Chang'an.

This gathering is an opportunity.

The governors and assassins of various places will all enter the Beijing court, and at that time, Li Shimin, who was originally transferred to the old departments sent to various places, will be sent to the Beijing court. At that time, it was also the time when Li Shimin's strength was the strongest, and he had to plan things, and this time had the best opportunity.

Zhang Chao thought about it, but he still felt that Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change in history was very good, although this plan was also full of dangers and almost missed. And the final result is also a bit regrettable, the crown prince and the king of Qi were killed.

From the historical information grasped by Zhang Chao and the comparison of today's situation, it can be known that Li Shimin has also made great efforts in Chang'an in recent years, winning over and buying many people.

Among them, the twelve guards, the Yongzhou Yamen, the left and right prison guards, the left and right Qianniu Wei four mansions, and the five mansions and three guards of Qin Xunyi, all of which have Li Shimin's people in these yamen.

It's just more scattered.

At least Zhang Chao knew that at the time of the Xuanwumen Revolution in history, the several armies stationed in Xuanwumen, especially the generals Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng of the 2,000 camps at that time, were already Li Shimin's people. And Chang He, the Zhonglang general of the Xuanwu Gate's prison guard, and the person named the prince is actually Li Shimin's person.

Relying on these relationships, Li Shimin was able to take the nine generals of the Xuanwu Gate to ambush in the Xuanwu Gate in advance.

Zhang Chao thought about it, so he simply got up, put on his clothes, took his pen, and began to draw a map.

The Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by the Outer Dynasty in the south and the Inner Dynasty in the north. The Outer Dynasty leaned on the Imperial City, where there were many important offices of the Yamen, such as Zhongshu and Menxia Introspection.

To the north is the emperor's palace and other inner courts, and the north is not surrounded by the outer imperial city.

When you go out to the north of Taiji Palace, it is already outside Chang'an City. There, there is only the Emperor's West Inner Garden, which is relatively the closest to the Emperor's location and the most convenient route.

In the north of Taiji Palace, there are two gates of Xuanwu and Anli.

Opposite the Xuanwu Gate is the West Inner Garden, the left and right guards are stationed in the Tunying Garden, among the twelve guards, the left and right guards are also called Yulin Guards, and their task is to take turns to send soldiers from outside the government to guard the Xuanwu Gate.

And the south of the Taiji Palace has three gates, Chengtian Gate, Yong'an Gate and Changle Gate, and there are other guards stationed in the south of the three gates, which are also rotated to transfer foreign soldiers to the top of the palace, and the palace is forbidden to guard and the safety of the imperial city.

In addition, the left and right Hou Wei are in charge of the palace and the capital patrol police.

The left and right prison guards are in charge of the door guards.

The left and right thousand cow guards are in charge of the guards.

And the east of the Taiji Palace has the Tongxun Gate, the Phoenix Gate, the partition wall is the East Palace, and the south outside the East Palace Gate is the Prince Zhu Mansion, in which the Prince left and right lead the Mansion, the Si Yu Mansion is in charge of the military tent and the honor guard; Left and right Qingdao led the government to patrol day and night; The left and right prison gates lead the government to take charge of the guards; The left and right are in charge of the guards. There are Jiayou Gate and Tongming Gate in the west of the palace city, and the west palace wall is adjacent to the Yeting Palace.

Outside the Changlin Gate in the south of the East Palace built by Li, there are still 2,000 Changlin soldiers.

The whole of Chang'an, if it is not a war, can have 60,000 troops. It is important to belong to the various systems.

If Zhang Chao wants to replicate Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change and succeed, there are several key points.

The first is the control of the Yulin Army, that is, the 2,000 soldiers who are stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate must be won by the left and right guards. Although the Yulin Army often sent troops to be stationed here, the 2,000 people were divided into the left and right guards, and the guards were transferred by the military department in turn, and the soldiers were drawn from the military offices under the jurisdiction of the left and right tun prefectures.

It's basically a change every month.

If you want to launch the Xuanwumen Change, you have to choose when Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng are on duty. The soldiers in the cantonment camp can't buy everything, but with the military discipline of the Tang Army, if there is an order from a general, the soldiers below will definitely obey the order if they don't know the truth. Therefore, the key is that it is the turn of these two people to be on duty.

Zhang Chao took a pen and wrote down the first difficulty on paper, so that Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng could be on duty at the end of the year at the end of the year, which was the premise of the launch.

There are two people here, and there are two thousand Xuanwu Gate Yulin Army here, which is the key key.

Second, Chang He had to be on duty at the same time as them to guard the Xuanwu Gate.

Historically, when Li Shimin first entered the Xuanwu Gate to ambush, there were very few people, and he only brought nine people, known as the nine generals of Xuanwu. After all, although he bought Jing Junhong, Chang He and others, it was impossible for him to swagger into the palace with thousands of his people.

In Chang'an City, there are eyes everywhere, and there are eyeliner everywhere. If Li Shimin went out with a large group of guards, Li Jiancheng would definitely know, and maybe Li Yuan would also know.

Therefore, Li Shimin only brought nine generals at that time, and several of them were his personal generals. He took these people out of the house, and it wasn't too conspicuous. And he brought nine people into the palace, which was also the limit of what he could pass at that time, and it would be too abnormal to bring more people, and it would be impossible for them to single-handedly win the sky.

At that time, it was not until Chang He locked Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji brothers in the Xuanwu Gate, and not long after the battle began, Wei Chi Jingde entered the palace again with more than 70 soldiers.

After that, the East Palace and the Qi Wangfu got the news that more than 2,000 people were killed at the Xuanwu Gate.

Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng led the Yulin Army to fight with them, but both of them were killed, and at the critical moment, Zhang Gongjin desperately closed the Xuanwu Gate to prevent the palace soldiers from entering the palace.

Then Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan and other generals of the Qin Palace, also brought the remaining 700 guards from Li Shimin's Mansion to fight. Li Shimin's wife, Changsun's uncle, Gao Shilian of Yongzhou Zhizhong, also opened the Yongzhou prison and armed a group of prisoners to join the battle, but was stopped by the Praetorian Guards on the way, and did not rush to Xuanwumen in the end.

At that time, the situation in Xuanwumen was very dangerous, and the Qin Wangfu and the Yulin army could not defeat the palace army, and this was still the case that Li Jiancheng's two thousand Changlin troops had not received orders and did not come.

At the time of danger, Wei Chi Jingde brought the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to the head of Xuanwu Gate, which made the palace army collapse in despair.

Zhang Chao couldn't help but marvel at Li Shimin's boldness, this is a big gamble, no matter how dangerous it is in advance, the success rate is less than half.

But in the end, Li Shimin really succeeded.

What Zhang Chao needs to do now is to try to meet the conditions of Li Shimin's launch in history.

Then do some insurance to increase the success rate.

Xuanwu nine generals entered the palace gate, and Wei Chi Jingde led seventy-two soldiers to control the Tang Emperor, a good means.

Zhang Chao now has to find a way to make Jing Junhong, Lu Shiheng, and Chang He all be on duty at the Xuanwu Gate in the same period.

It's hard, but it's the most critical.

There has to be a way to get there.

Once this level is achieved, the success rate is half the time.

There are also a lot of troubles left, such as Li Shimin's soldiers are too few. There were only more than 800 people in the Qin Palace, and they didn't dare to pull it out directly at that time, but they first brought nine generals into the palace, and then seventy or eighty soldiers arrived, and after the final launch, the remaining more than 700 guards also poured out.

The Qin Wangfu had no defensive strength at all, and even the Changsun clan picked up a knife to protect himself and a few children.

Zhang Chao brought 800 Taozhou soldiers into Beijing, and he must have been stationed outside the city. However, Zhang Chao can bring a small team of people into Beijing, and this should be no problem.

Qin Qiong and other former generals of the Qin Palace, this time they will also enter the Beijing Dynasty, and each person will have a team of guards, which adds up to a large force.

As long as it is arranged well and assembled at the right time, it will definitely be more reliable than the group of prisoners armed by Gao Shilian. If you organize the servants in the generals' mansions or something, it is certainly not a problem for a family to gather twenty or thirty people, theoretically speaking, they can gather thousands of people that day.

Zhang Chao also thought of Qingluan and the Eighteen National Missions.

There are also many guards in the missions of these eighteen countries, such as the large ones in Tubo and Dongnu countries, each with two or three hundred guards, and the small ones in Fanguo also have nearly 100 guards.

Zhang Chao's Taozhou Ya soldiers had to be stationed outside the city, but some tributary Fanguo missions had a great chance of being placed in the city. If you plan it well, this army may be a helper.

Writing and drawing, Zhang Chao's plan in his heart is becoming more and more complete.

Put down the pen and think about it for a long time.

Finally, Zhang Chao lit the paper close to the oil lamp, and it will be a cloud of ashes.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chao's court-gathering team and tributary team converged together, with more than 2,000 people.

"Sun Lushi, Taozhou will be handed over to you." Zhang Chao said to Sun Fujia and his entourage, who led a group of officials to the gate of the city.

"Please rest assured, a certain must be optimistic about the home!"

Zhang Chao was very relieved, although many high-ranking officials left Taozhou at once, but the 10,000 soldiers in Taozhou were still there, and Tuyuhun or the party members did not dare to stir up trouble.

To provoke trouble is to seek death.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Chao stood by the Tanshui River and wanted to recite a poem.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and never returns. (To be continued.) )
