Chapter 11 After the prince has finished showing off the king of Qi, he will show again
Palace.
The heavy rain hit the armor and washed away the blood on the soldiers. However, it could not wash away their murderous intention for each other.
Under Li Jiancheng's order, Sheng Yanshi and Dou Cong led their troops to attack the palace where the saint was staying.
This time the saint traveled, the Six Guards Army was not full strength, but maintained at 5,000 men per guard. Therefore, there were only 30,000 guards around the saint.
Thirty thousand people were more than enough to protect the saints in the Guanzhong area. This was the core of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no need for hundreds of thousands of troops to protect the saints.
If Guanzhong is not safe, then there is no safe place in Datang. Therefore, no one would have thought that the saint would encounter a mutiny.
But Li Yuan would never have imagined that one day all three of his sons would want to rebel.
At present, Li Jiancheng has three guards and horses, totaling 15,000 men. However, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng who guards the palace, does not even have 5,000 men.
This is an offensive and defensive battle with a huge disparity in military strength.
Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Years Palace is not on the mountain, but an imperial mansion. It has only been slightly repaired and looks like a palace.
Therefore, there is no danger to defend.
The reason why Li Jiancheng was so confident was because he knew that as long as he captured the army of the Four Guards and then used the King of Qi to get rid of the King of Chu, he would definitely succeed.
But he would not have thought that his two good brothers both have their own agendas.
"King Rencheng, you have joined forces with the King of Qi and the King of Chu to rebel. His Highness the Crown Prince has already understood it. Now you have to surrender. His Highness will not kill you because you are a member of the clan, and you will not surrender yet!"
Master Sheng Yan stabbed the soldier to death and shouted to Li Daozong who was killing him in the crowd.
"Fart!" Li Daozong roared angrily, "Master Sheng Yan, Dou Cong, rebellious ministers and traitors, you will not die well!"
The two sides fought in the rain, killing their former comrades. Many soldiers did not even know why they were killing. They were just numbly following the orders of their superiors. When they killed the comrades they knew in the Guards Army, they seemed
Very confused.
Inside the palace.
The noisy sound had already alarmed Li Yuan.
"What happened outside?" Li Yuan endured the wind and headache and asked Chai Shao.
Chai Shao looked at the emperor, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the King of Qi and the King of Chu are rebelling and preparing to force the palace. He will lead troops to protect them."
"What?!" Li Yuan got excited, and the wind broke out violently. He gritted his teeth in pain, "Let the prince come to see me, and let the king of Qi and the king of Chu come to see me!"
Chai Shaowei: "Previously, King Rencheng asked the prince to produce evidence, but the prince bluntly said that King Rencheng had colluded with the king of Qi and the king of Chu to rebel. He had already ordered General Sheng Yanshi of Youweiwei and General Dou Cong of Youjinwuwei to lead the army to attack
In the palace, King Rencheng is resisting desperately."
"What does he want to do, to rebel?" Li Yuan was furious.
As soon as he finished drinking, severe pain came from his skull, making him miserable.
Li Xiuning, who was waiting at the side, asked: "What's going on?"
Chai Shao said bitterly: "I don't know either. It's just that the prince suddenly got into trouble, and now there's chaos outside."
In fact, he was also very confused, because Master Sheng Yan and Dou Cong's sudden attack came without any warning, and he didn't even know what was happening.
Li Yuan sat up and said, "Help me go and have a look."
"Your Majesty, you can't." Chai Shao said quickly: "There are rebels everywhere outside now. It will be in danger for you to go out like this."
"I am the saint of the Tang Dynasty! Who dares to be rude to me!"
Under Li Yuan's strong request, Chai Shao and Li Xiuning could not persuade him. They could only follow the emperor's instructions and help him go out to check the situation.
Corridor.
Heavy rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, and the shouts of death included screams. The sound fell on Li Yuan's ears, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall down. Fortunately, Li Xiuning held him in time.
"How is the situation outside?" Li Yuan asked the guard.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has surrounded the palace and is attacking. King Rencheng is about to lose his strength."
"You traitor!" Li Yuan's lips trembled with anger. He had just forgiven the prince, but he never expected that the prince would rebel.
call out!
A sharp arrow landed at Li Yuan's feet. The arrow's feathers were white and cold under the thunder light.
Li Yuan's face began to turn pale at this moment.
"Where's Shi Wanbao? Where is he?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't see General Shi, but the guards on the left and right are here. General Shi is probably dead."
Li Yuan closed his eyes. If he still doesn't know what happened, then his work as an emperor has been in vain.
To put it simply, the prince rebelled.
He was too naive and underestimated the prince. He should have been on guard against the prince. When King Qin died, he should have been on guard against the prince!
Bang!
Not far away, the gate was slammed open, and King Ren of the City retreated with his troops and horses. The people outside wanted to rush in, but Li Daozong immediately ordered his soldiers to hold on tightly.
Li Yuan looked at the faint shadow of swords and swords in the thunder and subconsciously took half a step back.
Li Daozong came to the emperor and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the prince has too many troops and horses, and the general can hardly hold them anymore."
"Tell me, did King Qi and King Chu really rebel?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Daozong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the general doesn't know. It's just that the prince said that the king of Qi and the king of Chu had rebelled, and he wanted to lead troops to protect them. The general wanted to ask your majesty first, but the prince suddenly asked someone to take action, so the general could only fight back.
"
"The traitor! The traitor! The traitor!"
Three angry shouts made Li Yuan so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke.
At this moment, the door was violently opened again, and a large number of soldiers and horses poured in, led by Master Sheng Yan and Dou Cong.
Judging from the strategic terrain of the palace, it could not withstand the siege of soldiers and horses.
Li Daozong immediately led the remaining soldiers to stand in front of Li Yuan.
"Master Sheng Yan, Dou Cong, Your Majesty is here, do you want to rebel?"
Master Sheng Yan clasped his fists in the rain and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, the King of Qi and King Chu are planning to rebel. We are here to protect him on the orders of His Royal Highness. Your Majesty, there is no need to panic."
Li Yuan took a step forward and sneered: "Guard? With your posture, why do I think you are here to force me into the palace?"
"Of course not. How dare you be so rebellious and unethical when you are devouring your emperor's wealth?" Master Sheng Yan said loudly: "This general is here to protect you."
"Okay, in that case, let the prince come to see me!"
Hearing this, Master Sheng Yan looked at General Feng Li of the East Palace.
"General Feng, what should we do?"
Feng Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll report it to the prince."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Feng Li turned around and went down.
Li Yuan saw it clearly, so he was even more certain that Master Sheng Yan and Dou Cong had taken refuge with the prince. He wanted to cut these two bastards into pieces, but he couldn't do it at this moment.
"Dou Cong!"
Li Yuan shouted, Dou Cong stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "See your Majesty."
"Are you my subject or the prince's subject?"
"Reporting to your majesty, the last general is a minister of the emperor." Dou Cong said in a slide show.
Li Yuan sneered, "Who is the emperor and whose minister are you, right?"
Dou Cong stopped talking. What's the use of talking nonsense at this time? They have already started a rebellion anyway.
Li Xiuning shouted and asked: "Master Sheng Yan, where is General Shi Wanbao?"
Master Sheng Yan replied: "Princess Qi, General Shi joined forces with the King of Qi to rebel and has been executed."
"Presumptuous!" Li Xiuning's eyes widened and she was furious.
When she raised troops in the pass to respond to her father, Shi Wanbao followed her and took the lead, and the two had a friendship.
Master Sheng Yan curled his lips and was too lazy to talk to Li Xiuning.
If it weren't for the prince's order, he would have controlled the emperor now.
Just killing Shi Wanbao, in the face of rebellion, is not considered arrogant.
Not long after, the prince came to the palace wearing armor and sword, escorted by Feng Li.
Li Yuan stood on the porch, and Li Jiancheng stood in the rain.
Although the father and son were not far apart from each other by more than ten steps, their hearts were far apart. Beside them stood soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers.
