Chapter 10 Father in the porch and son in the rain
This time, Li Jiancheng aimed directly at the throne. For this reason, he did not hesitate to expose the two generals of the Wei family he had won. In his conception, the situation should be like this. The Youwei General Sheng Yanshi unexpectedly killed Shi Wanbao and took over
The left Weiwei and the right Jinwuwei general Dou Cong controlled Li Daozong and the left and right Jinwuwei.
In this way, he had four guards and horses at hand.
At the same time, he used the help of the King of Qi to get rid of the King of Chu, allowing the King of Qi's army and the King of Chu's left and right guards to consume each other. Finally, he directly led his troops to force the palace to force his father to abdicate. Then, he used the four guards to destroy Li Yuanji.
Perfect!
But in reality, the situation is quite different.
Master Sheng Yan succeeded, but Dou Cong failed to find Li Daozong.
Moreover, the most critical step is to kill the King of Chu.
Failed!
"Your Highness, the King of Chu has seen through us and has gathered the left and right guards to fight with our army. Unfortunately, General Qiao was killed by the King of Chu. Moreover, they took advantage of the heavy rain and sent people to inform the saint." A man under King Qi's command.
Soldiers, covered with wounds, came to report to the prince.
Li Jiancheng's eyes widened and he asked: "How could the King of Chu see through you?"
"When we arrived, unfortunately we were noticed by the King of Chu's Guards...cough cough cough." The soldier spat out a large mouthful of blood and smeared mud on his face, looking very embarrassed.
"Damn it!" Li Jiancheng stamped his feet.
In his budget, he should kill the King of Chu before the left and right guards could react, but now that the King of Chu was prepared, he didn't know how long the fight would last.
Wei Ting said: "Your Highness, we can't delay. We must take advantage of the opportunity when the King of Qi is entangled with the King of Chu to directly raise troops. Otherwise, once the King of Chu defeats the King of Qi, we will fail. Zuo Jinwu Guard has not yet fully controlled
, the palace cannot be controlled, and once the people of the King of Chu inform the saint of the matter, we will definitely be defeated."
Zheng Shanguo looked at the soldier and suddenly questioned: "I think His Highness needs to confirm the situation with King Qi?"
"What do you mean?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Zheng Shanguo whispered: "What if the situation is not as bad as we expected? Now Dou Cong is searching for Li Daozong's whereabouts and rashly mobilized troops. With Zuo Jinwu Guards guarding the palace, we may not be able to defeat him in a short time."
"What if we have the Three Guards Army at our disposal?" Wei Ting asked rhetorically.
Zheng Shanguo said: "It's not that it's impossible, it's that it can't be won in a short time. If the King of Chu is really prepared, then with the 20,000 King of Qi's army, he may not be the opponent of the left and right guards."
In fact, he wanted to say that King Qi is not necessarily the opponent of King Chu. If they are held back by Zuo Jinwu Guards led by Li Daozong in the palace, it is still a question of whether they can win with one blow in the end. The most terrifying situation is that King Chu kills
If you lose the King of Qi and go straight to the King of Qin, you will be in trouble.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder fell, a bright light flashed, and Li Jiancheng's uncertain face looked very ugly.
He hates things like this happening out of his control.
Especially, now!
"Yang Wenqian!"
"exist!"
"Go check the situation immediately."
"yes!"
On a rainy night, raindrops hit my face, making it itchy and painful. Horse hooves trampled on the depressions, muddy water splashed everywhere, wet willow leaves, and the strong wind continued.
A group of people quickly rushed to the outskirts of the palace within the time of burning an incense stick.
"Kill!"
Under the dark rainy night, shouts of killing were everywhere, and the sound of gold and silver swords resounded in my ears.
"It's really exposed." Yang Wenqian was riding on his horse, looking at the dark battlefield. From his perspective, he couldn't see the specific situation of the battlefield clearly. Firstly, it was because it was dark, and secondly, it was raining too hard.
Can't open my eyes.
He didn't stop for long, threw off his raincoat and went to find King Qi.
When he met King Qi, Yang Wenqian asked directly: "How could he be exposed?"
"Are you questioning this king?" Li Yuanji said with a dark face.
"Uh..." Yang Wenqian pursed his lips, clasped his fists and lowered his head, "Your Highness, please forgive me. The Crown Prince asked the general to tell His Highness that he has succeeded, so I will wait for Your Highness."
"Then why don't you go back and tell Big Brother and ask him to send someone to help me? He doesn't believe me anyway." Li Yuanji said angrily.
Yang Wengqian smiled dryly and said: "How can I make the decision for Your Highness? I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince of the news right now, and please bear with His Highness the King of Qi first."
Li Yuanji said: "Tell brother, I can hold off King Chu now, but the rain is too heavy, and some fish that slipped through the net may sneak into the palace. You let him make plans in advance."
"yes."
Yang Wenqian bowed and retreated.
After Yang Wenqian left, Li Yuanji smiled.
Yu Wenying said: "Successful."
Li Sixing shook his head, "Not yet. We will know only after the prince's next move."
Li Yuanji nodded. He was getting a little impatient with the waiting. He wished that the prince would attack the palace now.
Yang Wenqian returned to the prince's camp and explained the situation to Li Yuanji.
Wei Ting said directly: "Your Highness, we can't delay. There is still King Qi holding King Chu back. If we wait any longer, people from King Chu's side will sneak into the palace during the heavy rain and inform the saint of the matter. The situation will become even more dangerous."
.
Now let's let King Qi hold off King Chu and take action directly. Although King Rencheng has not controlled it, we have the three-guard army in hand, so we are still sure of taking over the palace."
Li Jiancheng looked at Zheng Shanguo, "What do you think?"
Zheng Shanguo pursed his lips and said, "If King Chu is really on guard, then that's all we can do."
In fact, the reason is very clear. If they kill the King of Chu first, it will take a long time, and during this time, the saints in the palace may notice it.
In this case, they will fall into passivity. Even the saint will send people back to Chang'an to summon an army.
Even if the King of Chu is destroyed by then, they still won't get what they want.
In other words, the King of Chu is the key figure, but the sage is the most critical one.
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath, drew his sword and gave the order.
"Send the order to attack the palace!"
"yes!"
While giving the order, Li Jiancheng did not forget to send someone to tell Li Yuanji and ask him to hold off the King of Chu.
When Li Yuanji learned the news, he immediately sent someone to tell the King of Chu.
As a result, the shouts of killing in the rainy night gradually disappeared, and only sporadic sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.
In fact, the two sides did not fight at all, they just let their soldiers mix and practice together on the spot.
Yang Wenqian couldn't tell, mainly because it was dark and raining heavily. Under such circumstances, how could he dare to set foot on the battlefield easily.
The most important thing is that none of them expected that King Qi and King Chu would actually join forces to perform a show.
Therefore, no one suspected that King Qi was deceiving them.
Soon after, the ambushed Qi King's army received orders and all followed Li Yuanji to the palace. At the same time, Li Yuanji also asked Li Zhiyun to lead the left and right guards to help him.
Li Zhiyun did not refuse, and immediately asked several generals to lead troops and horses to follow Yu Wenbao to King Qin.
Inside the camp.
Li Zhiyun patted Xue Deyin on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Between you and me, let's talk about old times in the future. I will keep your contribution in mind and I will never treat you badly in the future."
Xue Deyin's undercover career came to an end.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xue Deyin handed over his hand.
He knew that he no longer had to live in fear.
Tonight, everything will end.
As Xue Deyin left, Li Zhiyun raised his head and looked at the heavy rain outside the camp.
Dark night, moonless, heavy rain, suitable for killing!
"Your Highness, when will we take action?" Yu Chigong couldn't help but ask.
Li Zhiyun said: "Don't worry. Over at the palace, King Rencheng has sent word that he can hold it. Coupled with King Qi's troops, the prince is already a fish in a jar."
"But the prince has an army of three guards." Qin Qiong said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was also a little emotional. Dou Cong was the prince's man, and he was not surprised. After all, Dou Kang had shown kindness to the prince. But he never expected that Master Sheng Yan would be the prince's man.
A secret was laid in the Sixteenth Guards, and the ship almost capsized.
"It doesn't matter, let King Qi fight with the prince first, and we will take action last."
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, the opportunity to fight is fleeting. Since King Qi has already taken action, there is no reason for us to wait. We need to prepare early."
"I know." Li Zhiyun said confidently: "After a stick of incense, we set off."
"yes!"
Everyone's eyes were shining with light, they had already accumulated their strength and were just waiting for the final blow!
