Cui Geng said this, of course, he has his own reasons.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, and in such a thing as a war, you still have to rely on strength to speak. Now, on his side, there are 60,000 Yulin troops, all of whom are children of good families, fully trained, fully equipped, and strong and strong.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the combat power of 10,000 cavalry is about equivalent to 10,000 Yulin troops. The combat power of 60,000 soldiers of the Southern Yafu is not strong, even if the bonus of Guo Yuanzhen is added, it can only be equivalent to about 40,000 Yulin troops. Coupled with the 10,000 Anxi Army, the two sides can only be called evenly matched.

Chop off your own head? Why?

If Guo Yuanzhen was really confident, he should have quietly sneak attacked, instead of such a verbal cannon.

There is no doubt that he made such a big show to shake his military morale. As long as you are not fooled, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

Of course, under the fortified city, there are suspicious soldiers outside, and this strategic situation is indeed not very good.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng turned his horse's head and laughed loudly at the soldiers of the Yulin Army: "Sixty thousand rabble, plus 10,000 Anxi troops, are you afraid?" ”

Originally, after hearing the shouting and killing, Yu Linjun was also a little uneasy. But seeing Cui Geng's attitude so calm, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood.

"I'm afraid of a bird, Nanya's gang of waste, our Yulin Army can fight ten!"

"A bunch of hillbillies in the Anxi Army dare to come to the capital to spread wild?"

"Cui Xiang, you just give an order, let's destroy those wastes first, and then attack Daming Palace!"

……

The Northern Yajun originally looked down on the Southern Yajun, not to mention the border soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate. was encouraged by Cui Geng like this, and his morale increased by one percent out of thin air.

Cui Geng saw that the army's heart was available, pressed down with both hands, and said: "Although the soldiers of the Nanyafu are nothing, everyone must not take it lightly. To put it bluntly, don't say it's 60,000 people, even 60,000 pigs are not easy to catch, right? Everyone has been busy for half the night today, so it is better to have a good rest before killing them. Soldiers! ”

"In!"

"Listen to the official's order and settle in the Taiji Palace!"

"Whoa!"

Chang'an actually has two palaces, one is Taiji Palace and the other is Daming Palace.

When the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were established, the emperor and his concubines lived in the Taiji Palace. Later, His Majesty Li Er thought that the Taiji Palace was too low-lying and damp, so he thought that in the name of the Emperor Taishang to repair the summer palace, he built a Daming Palace.

As a result, the Daming Palace was not built, and Li Yuan was in control.

Since then, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty have lived in the Daming Palace, and Li Dan is no exception. Cui Geng and the others attacked today in Daming Palace.

In fact, from a military point of view, the Taiji Palace, whether it is defensive or offensive, is not under the Daming Palace, but it is only slightly low-lying and wet.

In addition, Taiji Palace has a significant advantage over Daming Palace, that is, the imperial city is in front of it.

The yamen of the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court, and even the important warehouses are all in the imperial city. If you control here, you will control the administrative body of Datang.

Of course, the actual situation cannot be that Cui Geng gave an order, and the Yulin army marched towards the Taiji Palace in a chaotic manner, dividing the order, some opening the way, some protecting the two wings, and some breaking the back.

The Yulin Army was well-trained, and the officers at all levels were competent, and Guo Ke, the Marquis of Fuyuan, was even more veteran, and the whole operation was orderly.

At the same time, Guo Ke divided 20,000 soldiers and horses to control strategic points in the city.

Li Dan has two famous generals, Zhang Renyuan and Guo Yuanzhen, of course, they are not idle.

At dawn, Cui Geng's army controlled the six city gates of Chunmingmen, Yanxingmen, Tonghuamen, Qixiamen, Jingyaomen, and Mingdemen, as well as the military points in Chang'an's West City, Imperial City, and Xicheng.

Li Dan's army controlled Anhuamen, Yanpingmen, Jinguangmen, Kaiyuanmen, Fanglimun, Guanghuamen, Chang'an Dongshi, Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and military points in Dongcheng.

In general, Cui Geng occupied the west city and Li Dan occupied the east city, and the two sides confronted each other.

As for the civil and military officials? The situation is unclear and everyone stays at home.

This has already happened once.

During the Tang Long coup, Li Longji killed too much, and no one dared to go to court the next day.

It wasn't until he invited Li Dan out and issued a decree in the name of the young emperor Li Chongmao, saying that the first evil had been punished and the past was not to blame, that the ministers went to the court. Unexpectedly, at the moment of the last dynasty, Li Dan announced that he would ascend the throne as the emperor. The handle of the knife was held in the hands of others, and the ministers could only admit it.

Now that the two sides are evenly matched, the ministers are even more afraid to go to court.

……

……

A good coup d'état was made into a pot of raw rice, and Cui Geng didn't have any way to break the situation, sitting in the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, sullen.

At this moment, someone came to report that Li Dan sent a messenger to meet him.

"Bring him in."

"Yes!"

The kung fu is not big, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a purple robe, handsome, and personable, appeared in front of Cui Geng.

"Is that you?"

"Yes, it's the foolish brother. Erlang, I haven't seen you for many days, but you still have the same style. ”

Cui Geng said coldly: "I am still in style, but you used the blood of innocent people to dye this dress red!" I just don't know, when you put on this dress, pay attention to the countless souls behind you! ”

That's right, the person in front of Cui Geng is his brother Cui Riyong.

At the beginning, when Cui Geng was the commander of Jiangdu County in Yangzhou, he presided over the construction of Yangzhou Luocheng. Cui, Zheng, and Cui Riyong came to Yangzhou and wanted to divide part of the project into a part. At that time, Cui Riyong relied on himself to be the head of the Boling Cui clan, and he was more arrogant, not very friendly to Cui Geng, and even showed a strong "interest" in Lu Ruolan.

It's just that later, the contact between the two sides deepened, and they didn't know each other, so they turned hostility into friendship.

Over the years, Cui Ri has used the ups and downs of the sea to rely on his extraordinary talents...... Well, the main thing is to go through the door of Zong Chuke, and gradually achieve the position of the squire of the military department.

Speaking of which, he can also be regarded as a party of Empress Wei.

Later, when Empress Wei was in full swing to become emperor, Cui Riyong felt that Empress Wei's ship was too dangerous, so he secretly took refuge in Li Longji through Monk Purun.

Supposedly, this is nothing, even from Cui Geng's point of view, it is difficult to say that he is not. After all, what Empress Wei did was too unscrupulous. Cui Geng can endure Empress Wei, that's because she is Cui Geng's mother-in-law, and there is no need for Cui Riyong to get used to Empress Wei.

However, another thing that Cui Riyong did was really angry.

On the same day, it was Cui Riyong who led the troops to attack Duqu and killed Webster's door, not even letting go of the baby in swaddling clothes.

Moreover, at that time, the army was in chaos, and the rebel army wiped out the Du family, the neighbor of the Wei family. This is because the Du family is a famous family, and the official can't hide it, so he has to admit it.

As for the ordinary people who died in Duqu, there are even more countless.

Cui Geng saw this clan brother, can he get the tone in his heart?

He secretly pondered, now it's not a fight between two countries, there is no rule of "two countries fight, don't kill it", should I kill this, it looks like Svenwen's killer demon king?
