Li Daliang instigated a rebellion against many middle- and lower-level generals in the Right Guards, which almost shook the foundation of the Right Guards. Although Fang Jun returned to extinguish them, he was inevitably injured. Later, he fought with the Zuo Guards.
No matter how incompetent Chai Zhewei is, the tens of thousands of soldiers on the left guard are no more than sheep and calves, and it is impossible for the right guard to be unscathed.
Now the Youtun Guards have concentrated their elite troops to attack the Xuanwu Gate...
After several battles, no matter how strong the army in Youtunwei was, it could not withstand such torture. How many soldiers could it retain and how much combat strength could it maintain?
Under such circumstances, the best strategy for the Right Guards is to send troops to harass the Left Guards as they cross the river, delay the incident as much as possible to end the Xuanwumen battle, and then make every effort to deal with the Left Guards who are exhausted and in confusion during the process of crossing the river.
But now the right guard seems not to pay attention to the left guard at all, and is only waiting for all the left guards to cross the river and defeat them once and for all...
Fang Jun is a man who knows soldiers. In the past, he was invincible and invincible. His numerous achievements were not obtained out of thin air. How could such a person make a big strategic mistake? How could he not know that once the war with Zuo Houwei becomes anxious,
Will it inevitably trigger a chain reaction among all armies in Guanzhong?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
The only explanation is that Fang Jun didn't pay attention to Zuo Wei at all and was sure that it could be decided in a battle.
Now that the attack on Dou once again confirmed that the output of the Foundry Bureau could never support the Youtun Guards to equip sufficient firearms and projectiles, gunpowder, and shells, Yin Qinzhou could not help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.
You Fang Jun is indeed a famous general in the world, with great military exploits and invincibility, but is it too rude to underestimate Zuo Houwei, who has been in charge of the Liquan Yin family for many years?
You underestimated the heroes of the world.
He categorically ordered: "Since Fang Jun is so proud and entrusted, let us help him and order the forward troops not to engage in unauthorized battles with Youtun Guards, but to guard the front line. After all the main forces have crossed the river and have been reorganized, we can concentrate our efforts on fighting Youtun Guards to the death."
!If I can't defeat even half of the Youtun Guards, how can I have the face to meet the heroes of the world?"
Do you really think that my Liquan Yin family is just a loser?
Then fight an upright battle. As long as you can defeat the Youtun Guards, even if you only have half of them, it will be enough to make the Liquan Yin family famous.
But for some reason, when the words "half branch of Youtunwei" came to my mind, I felt an inexplicable fear.
After all, it was Fang Jun who split the Youtun Guards in two. Half of them followed him on an expedition to the Western Regions and marched thousands of miles in an invincible attack. The other half stayed outside the Xuanwu Gate and beat Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei to the point of losing their armor. They were defeated...
…
"Half a Youtun Guard" is not a sarcastic term, but an incomparable honor.
I just don’t know if I can get rid of the curse of “half a right guard”...
No matter what, the arrow had to be fired on the string, and Yin Qinzhou no longer had any room to retreat.
*****
Under the night, countless scouts were galloping back and forth in the mountains, forests and fields around Chang'an, delivering all kinds of latest news to all parties, and all parties were deducing the development of the situation based on the latest intelligence in order to make decisions about themselves.
Make the most favorable judgment and then decide on the action.
When Yu Chigong received the report from the scouts, he rushed outside the Chinese army's tent and knocked on Li Zhi's door to inform him of the news that Yin Qinzhou was forcibly crossing the Wei River and approaching Xuanwu Gate. The king of Jin, who always paid attention to good manners and respected the King of Jin who did not change his face despite the collapse of Mount Tai,
Your Highness, he jumped up from the bed excitedly, lit the candle with his bare feet, and read the battle report carefully several times...
Even though he endured it again and again, Li Zhi couldn't help but pat the table gum, then held the battle report tightly in his hand, raised his head and exhaled a long breath: "God help me!"
Yin Qinzhou is not from the Guanlong lineage, but he has deep entanglements with Guanlong. Now the left guard under his command is brazenly crossing the Weishui River and approaching Xuanwu Gate. They are about to attack the right guard. This will inevitably trigger a chain reaction in the entire Guanzhong, just like the ice on the river.
If the layers are broken, the next step will be turbulent waves and rapids!
There is no need for the left guard to defeat the right guard. As long as the right guard can be suppressed at Xuanwu Gate, the armies and clans from other places will definitely take advantage of the situation and raise troops to participate in the grand event!
Everyone is afraid and dare not take that step rashly. Now that there is such a "pioneer", one move can affect the whole body, and the future situation can almost be imagined...
Yuchi Gong was also very excited and laughed and said: "Although the Zuo Houwei is not a strong general, tens of thousands of people are not vegetarians. The Right Guards have suffered heavy losses one after another and now they are attacking Xuanwu Gate and are unable to defeat them. How can we defeat them?"
Yin Qinzhou? As long as Fang Jun shows a hint of defeat, the entire Guanzhong army will pounce on him like a mad dog and tear him to pieces! Without the threat of Fang Jun outside the Xuanwu Gate, the entire Taiji Palace will be open to the Guanzhong army.
If you rush into Tai Chi Palace, the overall situation can be decided!"
"Haha, who would have thought that Yin Qinzhou would be so bold?"
Li Zhi was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He returned to the bed with bare feet and squatted down. He stuck out his butt and stretched out his hand to fumble under the bed, and pulled out a wine jar...
He stood up and put the wine jar on the table, opened the mud seal, took the teacup and filled two glasses of wine. He handed one cup to Yu Chigong and said boldly: "This news is a blessing from heaven. Come, come, drink it."
!”
Yuchi Gong took the wine and didn't care about the military discipline that prohibits drinking in the army. The two of them clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ha... so happy!"
The gloom in his heart for the past few days was almost gone, making Li Zhi feel happy and excited.
Yin Qinzhou suddenly raised troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, which had a huge impact even more far-reaching than Cheng Yaojin's defection, which was enough to turn the entire occupation upside down. Next, we need to see who becomes the second one to raise troops brazenly after Yin Qinzhou
The people who attacked Chang'an.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that Yin Qinzhou has fired the first shot and become the icebreaker, the rest will naturally fall into place...
Yuchi Gong grabbed the wine jar, filled the tea cup, drank it all again, then wiped the wine stains on his beard and let out a long breath: "I was worried that Li Daozong would do whatever he wanted after he contributed to Wude Palace, but now His Highness can sit back and relax.
"
Li Zhi nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.
In the past, even if Li Daozong was able to enter the Wude Palace to control the emperor, he would most likely have made his own decision to support another prince as the emperor. At that time, Li Zhi would be extremely passive. As long as others could enter the palace, Li Daozong would not dare to do whatever he wanted to do as a restraint.
If you want to act recklessly, you can only wait for Li Zhi to enter the palace and take the throne, otherwise Li Daozong will become a loser and others will take his side.
In this way, Li Zhi can keep mercenaries under Mingde's door and wait for the good news to come, without having to take the risk of trying to create a gap under the powerful threats of Donggong Liuli, Cheng Yaojin, and the Xue, Liu, and Zheng coalition forces.
The situation is completely different.
It is true that not everyone can bear the extreme repression of fear and the ecstasy after a defeat. It is no wonder that Li Zhi lost his composure...
It is possible to reach the top in one step from now on, who can remain calm?
…
Thirty miles away from Yuanqiu, in the Zuowuwei barracks, Cheng Yaojin also received the news almost at the same time.
There were candles burning in the handsome tent. Cheng Yaojin sat behind a book and leaned close to the candlelight to read the battle report, his eyebrows furrowed tightly...
After a long while, after reading the battle report, Cheng Yaojin muttered and cursed: "Mother, did this old boy Yin Qinzhou take the wrong medicine? He risked the world's disapproval like this, and he didn't think about what would happen to the entire clan once he was finally defeated.
Sent to the execution ground, the bloodline of the Liquan Yin family will be cut off from now on? This is simply crazy!"
Why, with the Jin army approaching Chang'an, the various armies and clans in Guanzhong did not dare to act rashly and could only watch the fire from the other side? It was because once the rebellion failed, no one involved would be able to bear the cruel consequences.
Especially for the first person to raise an army to attack Chang'an and try to overthrow the emperor's rule, once he fails, even the disaster of annihilation is light, and the entire clan will be implicated, and the "three Yi tribes" are among the most serious crimes.
Felony.
But now Yin Qinzhou is doing this...
Excluding the consequences that Yin Qinzhou may bear, this move will also completely stimulate all Guanzhong armies and various sects. Since someone takes the lead, it is like someone lit the first torch in the dark night. This spark is enough to start a prairie fire.
As expected, countless armies will rise up and rush to Xuanwu Gate to besiege Fang Jun.
Of course, the premise is that even if the left guard cannot defeat the right guard, he can still maintain a stalemate with the right guard...
"Fang Er, this guy is in danger."
Niu Jinda, who took the battle report and read it, sighed worriedly.
He was defeated under the siege of multiple armies, and he could not retreat to Xuanwu Gate to escape. He would either be defeated and captured, or die in the rebel army. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he could only escape to the south of the Yangtze River and lead the navy under his command to escape.
Overseas, to be a barbarian king... a great future was lost in one fell swoop, and all the ambitions were in vain.
Cheng Yaojin agreed with this, but after thinking a few times, he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and suddenly asked: "In your opinion, would Fang Jun have foreseen this dangerous situation?"
Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "From the beginning to the end, I felt that His Majesty and Fang Er were taking risks. It didn't have to be like this. They directly ordered you, Commander-in-Chief, to lead Zuo Wuwei and Donggong Liu.
Attacking Tongguan together, plus the coalition forces of Xue, Liu, and Zheng, the probability of annihilating the King of Jin is very high. And if His Majesty really gave the order, could the commander openly disobey the order? But His Majesty stayed silent in the Taiji Palace, and
There was no movement, and the King of Jin was allowed to break out of the pass and sweep all the way to the center of the pass, reaching the city of Chang'an... If His Majesty did it deliberately, then he would definitely have considered all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and the goal was to lure the snake out of its hole and let all the unscrupulous people come out.
The forces loyal to His Majesty all jumped out and cut them off one by one. So, how can we not take those people into consideration and attack them?"
Obviously, His Majesty was well prepared for the Jin King's rebellion, and Fang Jun, as His Majesty's confidant, obeyed his advice. Many of these things were almost certainly designed by Fang Jun.
In this case, how could Fang Jun not anticipate the critical situation and be prepared?
