Chapter 29: Attacking Chang'an
Zhou Xing was authorized by Wu Zetian and was in full swing for a while, and even walked with the wind.
Zhou Xing conducted a series of investigations into the nobles. No one who was targeted by him was spared. Zhou Xing would squeeze out all their value and kill their family.
Zhou Xing made everyone in Chang'an City feel in danger and was in chaos. Zhou Xing's behavior was simply crazy and outrageous!
Even ordinary people are scolding Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing’s ancestors for the eighteen generations.
This made all the people who were poisoned by Zhou Xing unite together, speeding up the speed of seizing power. Many generals in the army were persuaded by the nobles, tempted and threatened, and other means, allowing these generals in the army to stand on the united front with them.
Cui Yuanzong sent people out of the city again, and agreed to take action tonight, using the fire as a call. Then they would open the city gate, and Li Jing just sent a large army into the city.
Li Jing is a cautious person, and he is also worried about whether there will be fraud in it. Can the aristocrats really believe the words?
After thinking about it over and over again, Li Jing did not agree immediately, but summoned the generals to discuss the matter. After everyone's discussion and careful analysis, everyone agreed and confirmed that there was no possibility of fraud.
Li Jing immediately arranged combat deployment, and tonight the city should be raised as a call, and the four guards of Xuanjia took action first to control the city gate.
As long as you control the city gate, you can attack and retreat and defend!
Don’t worry about the other party making fraud. As long as the city gate is controlled by your own people, the army outside can enter the city at any time.
After controlling the city gate, Xu Da, Han Shizhong and others led their troops into the city.
After the assignment was completed, Li Jing asked Cui Yuanzong's servant to go back and agreed to take action tonight!
In the fourth year of Chugong, on October 13, the first year of Fude, late at night, Li Jing's army began to take action.
The city should follow the agreement and climb to the East City Gate and raise a fire as a sign!
A torch was lifted in the darkness, and a faint light of fire swayed in the darkness.
Li Jing immediately asked Mu Li to lead the Pingyi Guard to seize the East City Gate and control the city gate first.
The defenders at the East City Gate have been rebelled by the nobles. Most of these defenders hate the Wu family and hate the cruel officials even more. Many of their relatives are persecuted to death by the cruel officials.
The nobles told them that as long as they open the city gate, welcome the kingly army into the city and regain Chang'an, they will not only receive generous rewards, but also kill cruel officials to avenge their relatives!
The defenders of Dongcheng agreed without hesitation. Cui Yuanzong's servant raised the fire as a call and the defenders opened the city gate.
Mu Li led a large army to rush into the city, quickly controlled the city gate, and after confirming that everything was safe, he sent someone to notify Li Jing to enter the city.
Han Shizhong, Yue Yun, and Wang Gang led a large army to the city and went directly to Daming Palace.
Wen Sha, Zong Shu, and Zong Hu led Dingyiwei, Zhenyiwei, and Anyiwei, and cooperated with the nobles in the city to capture the Wu clan.
Looking at the city gate that was wide open in front of him, Li Jing smiled at the corner of his mouth, and rode into the city, and he finally walked into Chang'an he had always dreamed of.
Rebellion is that simple.
Chang'an is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, one of the four ancient capitals in the world, and the first of the ancient capitals of the Eastern World. It is really spectacular!
In fact, if it weren't for the rebellion of the aristocratic families and the disunited city of Chang'an, Li Jing wouldn't have been so easy to invade.
Of course, Li Jing believes that the power to support Wu Zetian should not be underestimated. The troops controlled by the Wu clan are not worth a living.
After all, Wu Zetian began to take power in the late period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Until now, after more than ten years of planning, there must be many loyal people who are willing to serve Wu Zetian.
But even so what?
He has two elite troops from ancient China. He is fighting the loyalists of the Wu clan. It is not as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Now that he is attacking Chang'an City, no one can stop him from walking.
Fifteen minutes later, he led his troops to Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace. The two men were fighting. Li Jing's army defeated and killed 70% of the Xuanwu Gate defenders.
Every time Li Tang changes, he cannot do without Xuanwu Gate. This is also the reason why Li Jing wants to enter the Daming Palace from here.
Every time Li Tang wins the positive change, he will first seize the Xuanwu Gate. Anyone who has not seized the Xuanwu Gate will end in failure!
This is Li Jing’s first time in Chang'an, but he came in in this way and led the army in!
Fight all the way!
Li Jing quickly rushed to the front of Zichen Hall. The imperial guards here did not resist, but instead put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Li Jing led a large army into Zichen Hall and saw the Empress Dowager Wu Zhao sitting upright on the dragon throne. People from the Wu clan and some ministers loyal to Wu Zetian were placed on both sides.
"Bold! I'll pay a visit to the Holy Mother Emperor!"
An official stood up and scolded Li Jing.
Li Jing showed a trace of disdain and waved it with a casual knife. The light of the knife flashed, the head fell to the ground, and blood splattered three feet!
There was a silence in the hall!
"The Empress Dowager doesn't need to panic. I will kill the treacherous and protect the Empress Dowager!"
Li Jing grinned, looking slanderous, making people want to beat him up after seeing it.
Wu Zetian's face turned pale and said, "Li Jing, don't be hypocritical. You damn thief, you would have fallen to the current level if you had known that you would have fallen to the point of your life. When you were born, I should have sent someone to strangle you to death!"
Li Jing disagreed with Wu Zetian's overwhelming hatred. Now he is sure to win. What if he is scolded by Wu Zetian?
Anyway, I won’t lose a few pieces of meat, and I can’t change the final outcome.
"Li Jing, I actually admire you very much. You are much better than other royal families. You are considered a hero. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can give you the crown prince. No matter what, I am your grandmother, wait
A hundred years later, I will pass the throne to you!"
Wu Zetian actually threw out such a big temptation, but unfortunately! She used this trick wrongly.
Li Jing rebelled and was destined to bear the reputation of a traitor. How could a person like him get angry after being said for a few words and give up the fruit of victory that is within reach!
What a bullshit grandson, Li Jing doesn't care about it. As long as he kills the power of Wu Zetian and the Wu clan, the Tang Dynasty will be his world.
He used the emperor to command the princes. After the situation stabilized, he asked Li Xian to abdicate him. He was still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Why did Wu Zetian pass the throne? Can't he just grab the throne?
Li Jing looked at Wu Zetian and sneered: "The Empress Dowager was joking. My grandmother is Xiao, Concubine Shu of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, you ordered her to be hanged. The Empress Dowager wouldn't forget it, right?"
He and Wu Zetian are mortal enemies. How could he believe Wu Zetian’s nonsense? I really think that Li Jing is a fool.
Today, he will start a massacre, and no one here, including everyone, can be spared, especially the Wu clan and the forces loyal to Wu Zetian.
Chapter completed!
