The main camp of the Longwu Army is located in the West Neiyuan. In the largest Chinese military tent, Li Ye, Dugu Jinyang, and Dugu Raoyang are discussing actions.
Li Ye said to the two of them in a deep voice: "I have just received news from my second uncle that the 10,000-strong army of Bashang has arranged a banquet of food and wine today, and they are not allowed to ask for leave, nor are they allowed to train, and all the small vendors doing business outside the military camp have been driven away."
Let’s go, all signs indicate that they are very likely to launch a mutiny tonight.”
Dugu Jinyang pondered for a moment and said: "Bashang is only twenty miles away from us. We can set up an ambush on the road to ambush this army."
Li Ye shook his head, "If we set an ambush on the road, there is no way to prove that they are going to launch a mutiny. I guess they are going to go around to the north of Daming Palace and attack Chongxuanmen and Xuanwumen. When they start to attack, we will not be too late to take action."
.”
Dugu Raoyang smiled and said: "Brother, Aye is right. If we don't show our skills in times of crisis, how can we show our effectiveness in countering rebellion?"
Dugu Jinyang was convinced, nodded and said: "Then how do we divide the work?"
Li Ye already had an idea, and he immediately said: "Brother is responsible for attacking the main force of the enemy army, Rao Yang is responsible for capturing Rong Wang Li Wan, and I will deal with Feilong. I will go and see the terrain for details on how to do it."
Dugu Jinyang thought for a moment and smiled: "That's it!"
Dugu Raoyang frowned and asked, "Ah Ye, how do I know where King Rong Li Wan is?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "To deal with his father, he will never dare to rush to the front. He will definitely hide at the end and wait until the dust falls to the ground before he shows up."
Dugu Raoyang suddenly smiled and said: "Then I know how to find him!"
At night, the gate of a military camp in Bashang slowly opened, and groups of soldiers in armor ran out, heading towards the Daming Palace. King Rong Li Wan, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, came out of the military camp under the protection of dozens of guards.
.
Li Wan's eyes were very nervous. Although he was the biological brother of King Qing Li Cong, he did not have the courage to do big things like Li Cong. On the contrary, he was timid and a little cowardly.
However, Li Wan's ambition was no less than that of his brother Li Cong. Becoming an emperor was also his lifelong dream. It was for this reason that although he was timid and timid, he was still driven by ambition and cooperated with Fei Long to launch a mutiny.
Feilong also told him clearly that he was not interested in the throne and only wanted the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan. Although Li Wan also coveted the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan, between the imperial concubine and the throne, he still chose the throne.
Thinking that he would sit on the throne tonight, Li Wan felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
The team marched quickly in the dark night, heading towards the north of Daming Palace.
The plan was not as good as the change. In every aspect of Li Ye's deployment, an unexpected change occurred.
General Chen Xuanli, who originally went to Qizhou to review new recruits, suddenly came back.
Chen Xuanli was very cunning. He told everyone that he had gone to Qizhou, but in fact he was hiding in Xianyang and closely observing the situation in the court. He also heard about the emperor's order to warn the prince this afternoon, but he did not remove himself.
Chen Xuanli suddenly realized that the emperor did not intend to break through from him, but directly deposed the prince. In this case, there was no need for him to escape.
Moreover, Chen Xuanli also knew that Feilong was waiting for an opportunity. If Feilong launched a coup during his absence, he would be guilty of a great crime.
Chen Xuanli immediately rushed back to the Longwu Army camp from Xianyang.
After all, Chen Xuanli was a seventy-year-old veteran. Even Dugu Lie was a junior in front of him, let alone Dugu Jinyang. Dugu Jinyang had no choice but to bring Li Ye to see Chen Xuanli.
Chen Xuanli was really shocked. He never thought that Li Ye would be hiding in his Longwu Army, but he immediately understood that this was arranged by the Lonely Family.
Li Ye stepped forward and saluted, "Junior, meet the old general!"
According to the title, Li Ye is higher than Chen Xuanli, and according to the official rank, both of them are first-class hussar generals, but Chen Xuanli's qualifications are much higher, so Li Ye can only be regarded as a junior in front of him.
Chen Xuanli narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Lu to be hiding in my Longwu Army. I'm sorry!"
"The situation is urgent and we can only obey the authority. Please forgive me, veteran general!"
Chen Xuanli nodded, "I also thought Feilong was going to launch a coup, so I hurried back. What's the situation now?"
"Feilong's 10,000 men have already set off from Bashang and will soon arrive outside the Chongxuan Gate of Daming Palace."
"Who is responsible for protecting the emperor?"
"I put my uncle Pei Min in charge of protecting the emperor's safety, I am in charge of dealing with Feilong, Rao Yang is in charge of capturing Li Wan, and my eldest brother Jin Yang is in charge of the main force of the rebels."
Chen Xuanli thought for a while and smiled: "This plan is very good, let's implement it like this! I will be responsible for the overall coordination."
With the last understatement, he took away the total credit. Chen Xuanli also felt that it was a bit excessive, so he smiled and said to Dugu Jinyang: "Your six thousand troops are a little weak against the ten thousand rebels. I
I will also hand over my first army to you, and you can command 12,000 troops to put down the rebellion, that’s almost it.”
Dugu Jinyang bowed and said: "Thank you for the arrangement, General!"
The time gradually came to the first watch, and Feilong stood with his hands behind his hands on the Wangxian Tower. Wangxian Tower is the Guantian Pavilion of the Daming Palace and is the highest point in the entire Daming Palace.
Feilong was followed by twenty young eunuch warriors. These eunuch warriors had been orphans since childhood. Feilong selected twenty qualified people and trained them in martial arts since childhood. All of them were highly skilled in martial arts and became his trusted guards.
Feilong looked at the Xianju Hall in the northwest with complicated eyes, which was Concubine Yang's bedroom in the Daming Palace. Feilong got the news. At this time, Emperor Li Longji was playing chess with Concubine Yang in the Xianju Hall.
Feilong had a vicious mind. He longed for Concubine Yang but couldn't get her, and hated Li Longji for having Concubine Yang all to himself. So he tampered with the emperor's tonic, causing Li Longji to gradually lose his male function. The imperial doctors still thought that the emperor was young.
Excessive sexual intercourse can lead to yang deficiency.
Although Feilong himself has long since lost that ability, it does not prevent him from possessing Concubine Yang.
Feilong's eyes were full of expectation. Tonight, he would realize his dream of more than ten years.
"What time is it now?" Feilong turned around and asked.
"Reporting to the real person, I will correct it immediately."
Feilong nodded, "Let's go!"
He left the Wangxian Tower with twenty eunuchs and warriors, and walked quickly towards the Immortal Residence Hall.
An army of 10,000 flying dragons has arrived outside the Chongxuan Gate, which is the back gate of the Daming Palace. There are tall gates on both sides, and there is an air corridor above the gate. Guards are patrolling back and forth on the corridor.
Chongxuanmen has two city gates, the inner city gate and the outer city gate. In the middle of them is an urn city. There are walls on both sides of the urn city, but the iron gates along the way have been closed at this time.
There is also a small gate on both sides of Chongxuan Gate, called Qingxiao Gate and Yinhan Gate respectively.
It is useless to attack Qingxiao Gate and Yinhan Gate. Open these two small gates, and there is a double passage inside. The iron gate from the double passage into the Chongxuanmen Wengcheng is closed, so we still need to attack the Chongxuanmen, directly enter the Wengcheng, and then attack the inner city.
Through the gate, you enter the square outside the palace. It is a large square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. But to enter the palace city where the emperor and his concubines live, you have to attack the Xuanwu Gate, which is a stronger city gate.
It is also protected by tall city walls.
But Feilong's rebels didn't have much time. They had to fight their way into the palace before Longwu's army arrived.
When the time came, the rebel leader shouted, "Charge forward and hit the city!"
Hundreds of soldiers rushed towards Chongxuanmen holding a huge and heavy battering ram.
