【Chapter 270】 Will attack Chang'an, the palace is beautiful
(PS: The first 5,000-word chapter, ask for a monthly pass!) )
A day flies by in the blink of an eye.
The next afternoon, on the top of the mountain east of Gejiapo.
Li Li took Dian Wufang, Li Zhi and Tietuo and others to look at it from a high distance, and watched the 50,000 Wuwei army march, and after walking out of the deep mountains, they were divided into two and marched.
"Husband, the big war is coming, you really don't plan to personally lead the troops to attack Chang'an?" Dian Wufang stood beside Li Li and asked softly.
Li Li calmly watched the soldiers under his command gradually move away, and said softly: "This war is very important to our army, and I naturally still have to participate in the war." However, the commander of the army this time is not me, but Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, I am just a leading general. Just now, Wenhe has sent someone to inform me that when Chang'an City is on fire, I will lead the army to attack and capture Yiwu. ”
Dian Wuflaw smiled and said softly: "The husband knows people well, Wenhe is indeed extraordinary, skilled in military affairs, and the generals are very convinced. However, the concubine guessed that the reason why the husband asked Wen He's military advisor to send troops and horses this time should be because he didn't want to meet his uncle, right? ”
"You're a ghost elf, and I can't hide anything from you!" The corners of Li Li's mouth smiled and said thoughtfully: "Uncle has 120,000 troops to attack Chang'an, and with Wang Yun and a group of weak officials who can only dance and write, they can't hold the city, and it is inevitable to break the city.
After the city is broken, Uncle and Xiliang will definitely not let Wang Yun go. What should I do if I'm also there? Wang Yun has all kinds of mistakes, but after all, he is Hongchang's father-in-law and uncle, can I see death and not save him. But my uncle and all the Xiliang generals hated to break him into pieces, if I came forward to stop him, wouldn't I be trapped in the eyes of the public and oppose many Xiliang troops? Therefore、、、、、、 I won't go to the muddy water of Chang'an City. It's better to stay out of the way and let things develop, Wang Yun's life and death have nothing to do with me! ”
"What the husband said is very true." Dian Wufang could understand Li Li's difficulties, and said softly: "Hongchang has been talking about Wang Yun for the past few days, and he also specifically told Dong Wan's sister Daoqian about Dong Xiangguo being killed by Wang Yun's design. It's a pity that Wanmei has been in a low mood recently, and she didn't say anything to Hongchang's daoqian, noncommittal, and it seems that she still has a knot in her heart and is depressed. ”
Li Li sighed when he heard this: "Wan'er, this is complaining that I didn't take back Dong Xiangguo's body. It's not just a gap in Hongchang's heart. In addition to Wan'er, my father-in-law, Cai Yong, has come to talk about this matter whenever he is free these days, and asked me to collect Xiangguo's body. They think that collecting Dong Xiangguo's body is just a gesture for me, and it can be done easily. And that's exactly what happened. If I want to collect the body for Xiangguo, it's really simple. But they think about it too superficially. It's so easy! This time. Whoever collects Xiangguo's body means that he is a sworn friend with Xiangguo, a remnant of a national thief, and stands on the opposite side of the world. The people of Xiangguo are all dead, and someone will do the matter of collecting the corpse sooner or later, so why should I join in the fun?
And now, after my uncle and they broke through Chang'an City. The first thing is to build a mausoleum for Xiangguo and bury him in a beautiful way. In this way, the law does not blame the public, even if the people of the world are dissatisfied with the Xiliang generals. But it won't be directed at any one person.
If you want to win the world, you can't lose the hearts of the people, and you can't leave an indelible reputation. Otherwise, even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it will be difficult to make the people of the world submit. If the people's hearts are unstable, there will be no peace in the world. Therefore, there are some things that I cannot do, at least not personally, or else I will be given authority and will be told the truth, and the legacy will be endless. ”
"The husband actually has the ambition to compete in the world?" Dian Flawless eyes clinged to Li Li with a glow, and asked in a low voice of surprise.
Li Li's expression changed slightly, his eyes looked at the horizon, and he said softly: "It's not that I, Li Li, want to take over the world, but if I don't seize the world and eliminate the heroes, sooner or later we will be killed by other princes." In troubled times, either I kill people, or people kill me. We have no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it, we can only face the difficulties and compete with the princes of the world. ”
Having said this, Li Li suddenly changed his words, and said with a gloomy face: "Wang Yun is so hateful!" This old fellow once promised me that he would not be my enemy, and he also made a poisonous oath with me, and whoever broke the oath would die a good death and be torn into pieces. Unexpectedly, he had just taken charge of the world's power, and in the blink of an eye, he turned his face and instigated the little emperor to issue a wanted and murdered edict, and actually listed me Li Li at the top of the list, before my uncle Li Dao and Guo Yan. His hand didn't seem to be tight on the surface, but it actually hurt me miserably. It seems that he regarded me as the chief general of the Xiliang Army after the death of Xiangguo, and pushed me to the forefront of the storm, and also provoked the relationship between me and my uncle's uncle and nephew by the way. Uncle is suspicious by nature and has no time to take care of him for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be cranky in the future. Once my uncle takes full control of Chang'an, I'm afraid that our uncle and nephew will have to fight each other. Hey, Wang Yun is not shallow in this fight! ”
"Husband, do we really want to meet my uncle?" Dian Wufang asked nervously.
Li Li muttered with a gloomy expression: "It can't be avoided. Our Xiliang people are martial arts and have always respected the strong. Between me and my uncle, who is the master and who is the subordinate, there must be a real battle, the winner is the master, and the loser is the subordinate. Moreover, the sooner this battle comes, the better, if it is delayed for a long time, the gap between them will become wider and wider, and the gap between them will become deeper and deeper, and eventually it will be difficult to reconcile and become incompatible. On the contrary, if the battle is resolved quickly, it will be clearly identified at the beginning of the estrangement, and then the two sides will decide the winner as soon as possible based on their strength. In this way, the estrangement between them can be eliminated as soon as possible, and then the two sides can sit down calmly and discuss important matters.
After all, my uncle and I are uncles and nephews, and there are estrangements and contradictions between the two sides, so we don't have to hide them in our hearts and slowly ferment and brew, let alone linger on them, so we simply start a jiashi war. Afterwards, if both sides know their own strength and position, they will not speculate and be suspicious of each other, and the contradictions and estrangements can be resolved. My uncle's character and temperament determined that it was impossible for him and I to resolve our estrangement and suspicion peacefully through consultation, but only to adopt this most helpless and extreme solution, but it was also the most direct and effective method. ”
After listening to Li Li's words, Dian Wufang's eyebrows pondered for a long time, then sighed softly, and said faintly: "Uncle and nephew are fighting against each other, and two or three hundred thousand troops are fighting on the battlefield, why bother? You men are really hard to understand. The same family, but they also have to fight each other and fight to the death! This matter is done by the husband himself, the concubine does not want to participate in the war, I will live here with Xin'er and them these days, and after you have the results, I will return to the army to serve the husband. ”
Li Li bowed his head slightly, and then saw that the beacon smoke had been lit in the direction of Chang'an City, and said softly: "Let's go, it's almost time." It's time for me to go. ”

Night falls.
In the evening, the weather suddenly changed, the stars and the moon were hidden, and the sky was as black as ink.
"The soldiers killed me, captured Chang'an City, and killed Wang Yun. Avenge Dong Xiangguo! Kill ———"
At the east gate of Chang'an City, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others led an army of 120,000 to storm the city. The generals shouted loudly for the soldiers to attack the city. And Li Dao and Guo Yan are even more pioneers. While shouting loudly to siege the city, he personally led his foot soldiers to slam the city gates.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom, boom!"
"Ah———h
Suddenly, thousands of soldiers defending the city at the head of the city set up their bows and wound them one after another, and the arrows rained down like rain. And hundreds of catapults in the Xiliang army under the city continuously threw fireballs, smashing the city full of smoke. Fires everywhere. Tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers carried ladders to climb the city, pushed well railings, and climbed the city without fear of death against arrows, rolling logs, and stinky water from oil pots. As the armor soldiers continued to scream loudly and fell to the city. Many Xiliang soldiers went to the city one after another to force the city, and soon there were warriors who climbed to the top of the city, and then were stabbed to death by the defenders and fell to the bottom of the city.
The siege war was at a fever pitch from the start. More than 100,000 Xiliang troops rushed up regardless of priority, and the moat was filled in instantly, and then the city wall that was only several miles long was surrounded by water, and there were Xiliang soldiers who attacked the city everywhere. The defenders at the head of the city are only a few thousand, seeing the dense under the city, the more than 100,000 Xiliang troops that cannot be seen at a glance, many of the defenders are timid before fighting, and their hearts are cold, shrinking their hands and feet, and they dare not let go. In addition, there were no capable generals in the defenders to defend the city, and only more than a dozen captains and junior colonels were in command of the battle, which made the defenders' orders inconsistent and extremely chaotic.
Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the Xiliang army became more and more brave and fierce. A quarter of an hour after the siege began, there were brave Xiliang soldiers on the top of the city, and after that, it was out of control, and more and more Xiliang troops climbed to the head of the city, making it more and more difficult to defend the city. Within half an hour of attacking the city, although the soldiers of the Xiliang Army suffered many casualties, the defenders also suffered many casualties, and the situation was precarious.
The Taishi Mansion was brightly lit, and many servants and maidservants were panicked and panicked.
In the study, Chen Gong hurriedly pushed the door in, and ran to Wang Yun without reporting.
"Taishi, why do you still have the heart to read! Li Dao and Guo Yan led an army of 120,000 to attack the city overnight, and now the eastern city is already in danger and may be broken at any time. Outside the West City and the North City, tens of thousands of Wuwei troops attacked the city, and they captured the West City Gate in only half an hour, and now the Wuwei army has entered the city! ”
"What, the Wuwei army has entered the city?" Wang Yun suddenly got up, grabbed Chen Gong's chest and robbed, and exclaimed in a panicked voice.
Chen Gong said hurriedly: "Yes." The Wuwei army entered the city from the tunnel that had already dug haode, and then broke through the west gate, and now they were rushing to the palace. The situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay, please make a decision quickly! ”
"Hey, I regret not listening to what the virtuous brother said, and I will lose all the games if I make a mistake!" Wang Yun sighed in annoyance, and then said urgently: "Quick, you go to the rescue of Yi Wu's order, the old man immediately went to the palace to protect Bixia and the Queen Mother, close the palace gate, and wait for help!" ”
"Taishi, at this time, the Wuwei army has entered the city, and Chang'an City cannot be defended. The Taishi is trapped in the inner city of the palace, but it is difficult to protect Bixia and everything. It is better for Taishi and Weichen to escort Bixia and the Queen Mother to Yiwu to avoid the edge for the time being. Yi Wu is extremely strong, compared to Chang'an City, not to mention that there is enough grain and grass, and there is a Wenhou army garrisoned, which will be able to protect Bixia and the Queen Mother! Chen Gong said eagerly.
"No, never!" Wang Yun shook his head without thinking about it, vetoed Chen Gong's words, and said with a stubborn expression: "Gongtai's words are wrong. The Xiliang army was brave and good at fighting, once Bixia and the Queen Mother escaped from the city and entered the wilderness, they could not escape the pursuit of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. If you are not careful, Bixia and the Queen Mother will die under the arrows of the chaotic army, then we will be guilty of great sins, and we will become sinners through the ages. No, never! Gongtai Xiu wants to say more, hurry up and go out of the city to order Lu Bu to lead the army to escort, you go quickly! ”
"This 、、、、、、 Weichen commanded!" Seeing that Wang Yun was persuaded not to move, Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, bowed down, and then left the study quickly.
Chen Gong went out with his front foot, and Wang Yun followed closely with a long sword around his waist. Beckoning the housekeeper Lao Cai to gather all the servants and soldiers in the mansion, and hurried to the palace.
——————————————
The lobby of the Li Mansion of Long Xiang.
"Yu Jun Division, just now the sentry cavalry came to report, there is a group of more than ten people riding fast horses out of the city from the south gate, bypassing the Xiliang Army under the command of General Li Wei, and going straight to Yiwu."
In the lobby, Jia Xu sat on the main seat, and under the hall sat generals such as Huan Fei, Pang De, Tatar and Yinyu. Outside the lobby, the originally empty Longxiang Li Mansion was already overcrowded at this time. Tens of thousands of Wuwei soldiers gathered.
Hearing Tie Yu's return, Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Immediately, he stroked his beard lightly and smiled indifferently: "Okay, it seems that Wang Yun knows that Chang'an City can't be defended." Send someone to Yi Wu to ask Lu Bu to lead the army to help. Walking from the south gate, it seems that I said to General Li Dao earlier that the method of encircling three ques and one is to encircle three ques. And it worked. Commander of Huan Fei. Later, you will lead the Tiger Roar Battalion to attack from the south gate of the palace and capture the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother! ”
"Okay, Huan Mou has been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately led the army into the palace!" Huan Fei was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, got up and said loudly.
"No, Commander Huan Fei is restless. Sit down for now. Jia Xu hurriedly persuaded the impatient Huan Fei, and then turned his head to Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, how long will it take for Li Dao and Guo Yan's army to capture the East Gate?" ”
"At present, the battle at the East Gate is fierce, and the Xiliang Army has already ascended to the top of the city. In another half an hour, the Xiliang army will enter the city. Ma Chao continued.
"Half an hour?" Jia Xu groaned, then frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No, half an hour is not enough." At that time, before Lu Bu sent troops, the battle of Chang'an City would be over, and then the lord would lead the army to attack Yiwu. Meng Qi, you immediately lead hundreds of soldiers to change into the armor of Lu Bujun, go to the east city to take a turn, and send people to the gates of the mansions of the rich and powerful to summon them to the east gate to guard the city. made more rumors and made strong statements, making them think that after the Xiliang army broke the city, they would destroy their families, so they would definitely do their best to defend the city. But after you complete the mission, don't stay, quickly return here, and use it again! ”
"No, the last general will take the order." Ma Chao immediately responded, and then walked out of the lobby quickly.
"Strategist, you asked Meng Qi to persuade the powerful gentry to send Hu to defend the city, wouldn't this create trouble for General Li Dao and them? Is this also a matter of the Lord's consent? Huan Fei watched Ma Chao leave, and asked Jia Xu with a suspicious expression.
As soon as these words came out, the generals under the hall Pang De, Yin Yu and other generals looked at Jia Xu one after another, waiting for his reasonable explanation. After all, all the generals knew that their lord Li Li had always been respectful to his uncle Li Dao, but Jia Xu deliberately blocked Li Dao's army this time, and deliberately delayed the time for the Xiliang army to break the city. If this matter is agreed by the lord Li Li, then it will be enough; If Jia Xu made his own opinion, the generals in the hall would not agree.
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and glanced at the expressions of the generals without a trace, and then said with a smile: "Before the battle, the lord has granted me the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, so you generals don't have to worry. If the lord asks for the guilt afterwards, it will all be borne by me, Jia Xu, and I will never shirk the responsibility, let alone implicate the generals! What do you think of the generals? ”
"We have no objection, everything is up to the orders of the military generals!" Huan Fei, Pang De and the others glanced at each other, and then responded in unison.
"Good!" Jia Xu applauded in response, then stood up, and ordered with a solemn expression: "Huan Fei listened to the order, immediately led the army to set off, lurked at the south gate of the palace, and attacked the palace after half an hour to capture the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and then withdraw the army immediately without hesitation!" The other generals immediately occupy the west and north cities, take control of the city gates, and collect the defenders! The captured soldiers were all escorted to the West Gate, and the battalions must hold the West City and the North City, and without the order of the Lord General, they must not hand over the garrison to the Xiliang Army without permission! ”
"No, I'll take the order!" The generals in the hall agreed in unison.
Immediately, all the generals strode away, only Huan Fei stayed in Zuihou and did not leave immediately.
"Is there anything else Commander Huan Fei doesn't understand?" Jia Xu asked softly in surprise.
Huan Fei turned his head to see that all the generals had left, strode in front of Jia Xu, and said in a low voice: "The military advisor is really as wise as a torch, and he can guess it." I want to come to the military advisor and know that Huan was born in the Western Regions, and when I was a child, I heard that the beauties in the palace were like clouds, and I admired them for a long time. This time, Huan finally had the opportunity to enter the palace, except for the little emperor and the queen mother, naturally he couldn't go home empty-handed. Hey, hey, hey! ”
Although Huan Fei didn't directly say what he meant, how could Jia Xu not know what he was thinking.
"Hehehe!" For a moment, Jia Xu said with a smile: "It turns out that Commander Huan Fei wants a few concubines to be his wife and concubine. As far as I know, you have not yet married a wife, nor have you had a concubine, and I have heard that you are not a woman, so why did you suddenly mention this matter? ”
"Military advisor, Huan is really not a woman, but after all, he still has to marry a wife and have children. Besides, I still have a few brothers who are still singles, and this time the opportunity to enter the palace is rare, so Huan wanted to bring them back a few beautiful concubines by the way, which is not in vain for brothers. This woman, the women in the palace will naturally not be wrong, they must be all beautiful. Strategist, don't you say? Huan Fei was also bright, he didn't hide it, and directly said what he thought in his heart.
After Jia Xu heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "This matter is not a big deal, but I really can't be the master, so I don't dare to say anything." In this way, if Commander Huan Fei sees a woman who is pleasing to the eye, he can take her out of the palace, but you must ask the lord afterwards, and after getting the lord's permission, those women will naturally belong to you. Remember, although the royal family is now in decline, this matter must not be publicized, let alone ask the lord for instructions. Without the permission of the lord, you must not hide the palace maids and concubines privately, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. ”
"Okay, thank you for the guidance of the military advisor, Huan knows what to do. Farewell, and I'll set out with my army. Huan Fei grinned, bowed, and strode away immediately.
Jia Xu watched Huan Fei leave, and said to himself: "There are indeed many beauties in the palace, and Huan Fei is very tasteful. It's just that those beauties are not available to everyone, I hope you can get the approval of the lord, otherwise I'm afraid it's just empty joy. (To be continued) (To be continued......
