There is nothing good to say about people not serving themselves, and heaven and earth will destroy them. However, Yu Wenshiji kept saying that for the future of Guan Long, Linghu Defen was a little sick. He was just using Guan Long's remaining strength to fight for his own power and position.
It's just a handful, why brag so noblely?
Hypocrites are often more annoying than real villains...
However, Linghu Defen still agrees with the sentence "Guanlong is both prosperous and prosperous, and both suffer losses." Otherwise, he would not have followed Yu Wenshiji's advice and went from house to house to gather private soldiers and supplies, and finally assembled an army of more than 10,000 people.
Rush to Chang'an.
There are no eggs left under the overturned nest. Yuwen Shi and the entire Guanlong marshaled their strength to support the King of Jin in launching a mutiny. The involvement was too deep and the impact was too great. It was impossible to separate from the King of Jin. If the King of Jin won, Guanlong would naturally regain its former glory.
, and may even go further, but if the king of Jin is defeated, Guanlong will no longer have a place to stand.
Even if the Linghu family wants to stay out of the affairs, it is impossible. Even if Linghu Defen devotes himself to writing books and stating that he will not get involved in the government affairs, he cannot find a rich and quiet house...
This is what Linghu Defen is dissatisfied about. Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne will certainly cause the Guanlong clan to be suppressed in the future, but Li Chengqian has a soft personality, misses old friendships, and is not decisive enough to kill, so he will definitely leave some impression on the Guanlong clan.
There is a glimmer of hope that will not kill them all. With Guanlong's background, what's wrong with surviving Li Chengqian's dynasty? As time goes by and the times change, there may be a turn for the better in the future. Why put all your money on it and bet on life or death?
destiny?
Isn’t it because Yu Wenshi and his obsession are too much, hoping to win in a single battle and surpass Changsun Wuji in terms of power, fame and fortune to become the "No. 1 person in Guanlong"...
In the past two years, Linghu Defen has been living in the mansion quietly and writing books. He has read a lot of history books and been greatly inspired. The turbulent times described in the lines of the incomplete history books are often just a few words and a brushstroke.
, Compared with the vast history, the life and death of a mere person, the honor and disgrace of which are as high as the sky, are like a splash of water, a piece of haze, fleeting, why bother to persevere?
Let nature take its course is the law of the universe and the true meaning of life.
It's just that when the situation has developed to this point, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only be carried forward by Yu Wenshiji and cannot look back...
Yuwen Shiji didn't pay attention to Linghu Defen's complaints. In fact, now that the Guanlong clan has been hit hard one after another, only a few families such as the Yuwen family and the Linghu family are still left with some knowledge. The rest may have already been destroyed.
Fallen, or suffered too much damage to be relied upon.
Holding the wine glass, he said patiently: "Who doesn't do it for yourself? You ignore the government affairs and stay at home to write books, and let your two sons make a mess of your housework without paying attention. Isn't that what you want?
Will my name go down through the ages and shine in the annals of history? I am now in my dying years, but I am running around and exhausting my energy. Although in the name of Zhou Zhongzong, I am concerned about the interests of Long, in fact, I have no intention of giving up. This is okay. But now at this critical moment, I naturally have to do my best to support Jin.
King, otherwise the Guanlong clan will be in ruins, and you and I will both be sinners and have no excuse."
Linghu Defen remained silent.
After a long while, he said in a low voice: "The current news is that An Yuanshou was dragged to Xianyang Bridge by Cheng Yaojin. There is no news about Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman. Even if we can help An Yuanshou defeat Cheng Yaojin,
Jin, but I don’t know anything about the specific situation over there in Chang’an, so it’s too risky to go there rashly.”
It is said that this is a last-ditch effort to save the life and death of the Guanlong clan, but Linghu Defen does not have the slightest consciousness of "killing the benevolent". It would be best if he can break into the Taiji Palace in one fell swoop and support the Jin king. If not, he should ask Li Chengqian as soon as possible. Pledge allegiance and try to cut your losses.
He would never do it if he led his troops into battle and sacrificed his life. If he didn't succeed, he would be benevolent.
Yu Wenshi was full of confidence: "Regardless of where these two people go, whether they can capture Xuanwu Gate, just Wei Chigong, Li Daozong and tens of thousands of Shandong private troops are enough to capture Wude Palace. Li and Liu After arriving outside Chang'an City, Li Jing and Xue Wanche did not dare to lead their troops into the city to reinforce Taiji Palace. Even if the Youtun Guards were to fight one against ten, they would not be able to match Yuchi Gong and Li Daozong."
This is not to deceive Linghu Defen, but he does think so. The reason why Fang Jun became famous and victorious in every battle was just because in the early Tang Dynasty, all the heroes of the surrounding barbarians were cut off by Zhenguan Xunchen. This means that Fang Jun's talent and military strategy can be compared with those of Li Jing and Li Ji.
As for Yuchi Gong and Li Daozong, the reason why they were unable to attack Wude Hall for so long was only time. As long as Li Jing and Xue Wanche were dragged outside the city and unable to enter the city, it would only be a matter of time before Fang Jun's entire army was annihilated.
Perhaps by the time more than 10,000 of them arrived in Chang'an, the Wude Palace had fallen, and the King of Jin had begun to prepare to draft the edict for enthronement...
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and slowed down outside the carriage. Someone spoke outside the carriage: "For the record, my master, there is a battle report ahead."
Yu Wenshi sat upright and opened the curtain of the car. A gust of wind and rain blew in his face, making him shiver. He looked at the scout on the horse and asked: "How is the battle in Chang'an?"
The scout respectfully replied: "An Yuanshou and Cheng Yaojin are still fighting bloody battles at Xianyang Bridge. Cheng Yaojin seems to be conserving his strength and is unwilling to fight head-on, while An Yuanshou is going all out regardless of casualties, so now An Yuanshou has the upper hand." As for the news from the direction of Chang'an, they are all blocked east of Xianyang Bridge, and there is no news yet."
Yu Wenshiji frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. It stands to reason that as long as Li and Liu's armies arrive outside Xuanwu Gate and achieve results, they will definitely send people to report to all places in Guanzhong, so as to encourage those who are waiting and hesitating. The decisive army, the clans and clans strengthened their confidence, and jointly sent troops to Chang'an to support the grand event.
Even if Xianyang Bridge blocked the transmission of news due to the battle between the armies of An and Cheng, Li and Liu should organize their soldiers to cross the Wei River and spread the news westward.
Now there is no news and no trace, which is a bit unusual...
Yu Wenshiji pondered for a moment and asked Linghu Defen: "I want to rush to Xianyang Bridge to help An Yuanshou. After we defeat Cheng Yaojin together, we will rush to Chang'an together and turn around Li and Liu to capture Xuanwu Gate. What do you think?"
Linghu Defen looked sad and said: "You can make the decision."
Although Yuwenshiji was far less strategic than Changsun Wuji, and was even less good at military matters, Linghu Defen himself had only read a few military books and had never even been on the battlefield. At this moment, Yuwenshiji could only make the decision.
Yu Wenshi nodded and said loudly to the outside of the car: "Send the order, speed up the journey, and rush to Xianyang Bridge at noon to help An Yuanshou defeat Cheng Yaojin!"
"Here!"
Outside the car, a group of generals and captains received the order and immediately conveyed the order down. The team of more than 10,000 people immediately quickened their pace, braving the wind and rain, thinking of getting closer to Xianyang Bridge.
…
At the bridge head of Xianyang, there was a bloody battle. The armies of both sides were fighting endlessly around the open space south of the bridge. The Zuowu Guards were in strict formation and their morale did not drop. However, they retreated step by step. An Yuanshou had already forced him to leave the bridge head for more than ten miles, and the large area was blocked.
The position was surrendered.
Cheng Yaojin was wearing a raincoat and standing with his hands behind his back, watching the fight at the bridge from a distance, his face gloomy and his eyes twinkling.
Niu Jinda was on the sidelines impatiently: "Commander, why is this happening? Our Zuowu Guards have never been defeated in the south and north battles, how can we be defeated by the Youxiao Guards? If this is the case, the army will not be satisfied with the food, and the soldiers will die without peace of mind!"
The Right Xiaowei is certainly not weak, but after traveling hundreds of miles, they are stranded and lack horses, and their combat effectiveness is not high, while the Left Wuwei can be said to be waiting for work. The weather, location, and people have the upper hand, so it is not difficult to defeat them.
But An Yuanshou probably also knew what failure in this battle meant, so even though he was intercepted by Zuo Wuwei, he went crazy and ignored the casualties. He was like a beast trapped in a cage showing its claws and struggling desperately, as if he was going to fight with him.
The momentum of Zuo Wuwei dying together.
But how could Cheng Yaojin be willing to go crazy with him?
Although he swore allegiance to Li Chengqian and came to Xianyang Bridge to intercept the troops rushing to Chang'an from various places in Guanzhong, he was unwilling to confront You Xiaowei and cause too many casualties. Despite his scruples, You Xiaowei almost broke through the blockade many times, resulting in
Step by step retreat, all opportunities were lost, and the situation on the battlefield was once very passive...
At this moment, after hearing Niu Jinda's words, Cheng Yaojin, who was filled with anger, suddenly exploded, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "Fuck you, mother! An Yuanshou is stupid, stubborn and tyrannical. He treats his subordinates like cattle and sheep.
Just for victory, no matter what the means, even if all the troops die, how can I be like him? It's not that the soldiers under my command cannot die, but they must die worth dying. If you don't want your own life, you can go it alone.
Rush up and wait for you to die. I will take care of your mother-in-law and provide for your son. You go now!"
These words extinguished the anger in Niu Jinda's heart. Isn't it because Cheng Yaojin didn't want the brothers of the generals to die in vain in the civil war that Zuo Wuwei has come to this day? What if he had to spend all his time at Xianyang Bridge at this moment?
, wouldn’t all the previous efforts have been in vain?
However, his relationship with Cheng Yaojin was extraordinary. Although he thought Cheng Yaojin had some truth, he refused to accept it and said with a pinched neck: "This is ridiculous. Even if I want to entrust my wife and son to you, I will never entrust you to me! You!"
Is it worthy?"
"Mother!"
Cheng Yaojin raised his foot and kicked Niu Jinda hard on the crotch, and yelled: "Why am I not worthy? Your son's delicate features are nothing like yours. Maybe if you die now, your mother-in-law will remarry."
Maybe he already has a master."
The lieutenants and captains on the side looked helpless. In the face of a formidable enemy, you two are still arguing about this?
The scouts rushed in from the wind and rain, interrupting the two people's quarrel: "Commander-in-Chief, there are more than 10,000 troops composed of private armies from various Long families. They are rushing along the north bank of the Wei River, twenty miles away.
!”
Cheng Yaojin was no longer in the mood to curse. He sighed and sent an order: "The entire army is prepared to fight to the death. We must defend Xianyang Bridge at all costs!"
I had planned to use the "drag" technique before, as long as An Yuanshou's You Xiaowei could not rush to Chang'an for reinforcements. Anyway, the armies of Li and Liu had been defeated. Presumably, the rebels in the Taiji Palace would be destroyed soon.
, you don’t have to put in too much effort here.
But now there are private troops coming from the Guanlong clan. When they join forces with An Yuanshou, they can no longer hold back. They must either use all their strength to defeat them, or simply retreat to avoid their attacks.
Obviously not.
If he makes another attempt to escape and expose Chang'an to the rebels, Your Majesty will have to eat him alive...
