Chapter 659: End the Camp
Li Yuan looked back at Dugu Xue, the cold in his eyes could even freeze the air. Dugu Xue, whose face turned pale, was obviously confused. He subconsciously looked at the emperor and then slowly knelt down: "My... is dereliction of duty!"
Li Yuan stared at his face, and after at least a few minutes, he suddenly sighed long, with endless helplessness and fatigue in his voice: "Forget it... You don't know about this. I don't believe that you have the courage to let go Zhang Wancheng, and dare to take me to see an empty house."
"After I was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, I knew that only six people were locked up here. Because there were too many things in the Ministry of Justice recently, I forgot here. Your Majesty said that the place where Zhang Wancheng was detained must not be revealed, so even Gao Liansheng took over as the general of the prison guard, Chen never told him that this was all my dereliction of duty, and I was guilty... The person who left to take care of Zhang Wancheng was the minister. I think some of them were the detailed works of Yan Yun thief..."
"Hand has reached into Tai Chi Palace."
Li Yuan sighed and said dejectedly: "I really want to know who else in this palace was arranged by Li Xian. It is really great to be able to steal people and gods from the Tai Chi Palace without knowing it! There are 600 inner guards and 3,000 imperial guards in my Tai Chi Palace, and they are all regarded as native chickens and tile dogs...shamed...not only my shame, but also the Tang Dynasty's shame!"
The accompanying staff knelt down when they heard this. Gao Liansheng, the eunuch general manager, secretly glanced at Dugu Xue, which was obviously grateful. If Dugu Xue pushed Zhang Wancheng's affairs to him, he would be really unreasonable. He was led by him now. Before Dugu Xue went to the Ministry of Justice to take office, Zhang Wancheng was still there, which means that such a big missed son came from after he took office. It would be not an exaggeration to say that if the emperor blamed him, it would be a cut off his head.
But his luck is indeed good today. Although the emperor was in an extremely bad mood, he obviously still deliberately controlled himself and did not mean to vent his anger.
The yard is empty, and the few people in charge of guarding Zhang Wancheng are gone. As for where he went, no one knows, which shows that the loopholes in the Tai Chi Palace are still very large.
"His Majesty!"
A guard general came over and leaned over and said, "Four corpses were found in the next house, wearing imperial guards' uniforms, and they should be the original guard. They seemed to have been dead for at least three or four days."
"Three or four days!"
Li Yuan's eyes sterned and then sneered: "No one has discovered it for three or four days after he died. This is Tai Chi Palace, not a mountain village! Don't you report it in the imperial guards? Gao Liansheng, how did you become the imperial guard commander!"
Gao Liansheng whined in his heart, saying that what should come is still coming.
"Slave, guilty."
He lowered his head deeply and did not dare to defend anything. But he did feel that he was a little wronged. After he took office, he did send people to click Mao, and there was no sign on the list of each battalion. When the number of people was reported, no one mentioned that there were fewer. Although he led the imperial guards, he was still the chief eunuch. The imperial study room could not be spared for almost a day. Where did he have time to go to each battalion to check the number of people himself?
"Who else can I trust now!"
Li Yuan suddenly shouted loudly, then turned around and strode away. Everyone present looked at each other in a daze, and they didn't dare to show off.
After returning to the imperial study room, Li Yuan sent someone to find Zhang Gongjin. After thinking about it, he sent someone to call Wan Yulou.
When Wan Yulou hurried to the imperial study room, Duke Zhang Gongjin of Tan State had arrived for a while. Seeing that the emperor's talent was such a big fat man, Zhang Gongjin couldn't help but question it in his heart. He really couldn't figure it out, this fat man is really a master of searching for traces? How could he run?
"My memory, Wan Yulou, bow to Your Majesty."
After entering the door, Wan Yulou did not dare to look up and knelt down directly.
"I'm here!"
Li Yuan couldn't help but be amused by him when he looked at Wan Yulou who kowtowed to an empty wall. The fat man's trembling kowtow to the wall was really ridiculous. So much so that the haze in Li Yuan's heart faded, but when he thought of being rescued by someone with his eyes lowered, Zhang Wancheng's anger couldn't help but jump up.
"You stand up and talk"
"I dare not!"
Wan Yulou said with his head hanging down.
"Raise your head!"
Li Yuan said coldly.
Wan Yulou quickly looked up and didn't dare to look at the emperor and quickly lowered.
Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head, walked to Wan Yulou and looked at him and said, "It's good that people have awe. I've asked... After you arrived at the Imperial Army, you have no complaints and are cautious in your work. I am a person who knows how to advance and retreat and distinguish the truth. At that time, I wanted to kill you, but you couldn't protect the prince in Xuanwu Gate... But I heard that you jumped down from Xuanwu Gate to chase the murderer that day. Although you didn't catch Dugu Yirou, you did not slacket off and be cautious... This is very good, so I will leave your life and serve the Tang Dynasty. Are you willing?"
"I will never refuse!"
Wan Yulou lowered his head and said respectfully.
"good!"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "I don't want you to die ten thousand times, and I don't want you to die once. Your life is left by me. I want you to live and do things for me!"
...
...
When Wan Yulou returned to his station, he asked someone to close all the doors and windows of the room and then jumped on the big bed. The bed made a painful moan but didn't fall down. The fat man turned over and rolled on the bed and tossed, blocking his mouth with a quilt and laughing loudly, as he laughed as bad as he was.
"Is there such a good thing that he is fucking?"
He was crazy enough and sat up on the bed and said proudly: "I am really thirsty and some people deliver water, and some people deliver meat when I am hungry. When I miss a woman, there is a yellow-flowered girl who comes to my door!"
Thinking of Li Yuan joining him into Zhang Gongjin's army, his Xuanwu Guard was free from the control and constraints of the imperial guards. The gate in the military preparatory government office was much easier to enter and exit than the Xuanwu Gate. The feeling of darkness and brightness made people feel so exciting. After laughing enough, Wan Yulou stood up, summoned all his subordinates, and then led hundreds of people to the Xuanwu Gate. Gao Liansheng knew that the emperor asked him to thoroughly investigate the detailed work of Yan Yun's army in Chang'an City, so he immediately opened the city gate and let him go out.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of inspecting the city to do a detailed job, Wan Yulou contacted Wang Qinian and Wu Bushan and told them that he would find a way to set fire at the Xineiyuan city gate tomorrow night so that they would prepare to pick up the King of Yan into the city.
When Wan Yulou finished speaking, a man sitting not far from Wang Qinian said, "The fire I set in the imperial city last time had no effect. This time I want to light a fire in Tai Chi Palace."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Qinian, Wu Bushan and Wan Yulou's faces suddenly became exciting.
"My aunt, I finally stole you from the Tai Chi Palace. Don't think about going in again, okay?"
Wang Qinian begged in a crying voice.
Wan Yulou also said pitifully: "Auntie, just be down-to-earth. Speaking of which, you have to leave a letter on the table, and Li Yuan's face was bloated. If you implicate that person, our plan will still change. He will have a great effect. At that time, all the officials in the court will still be counted on him to stare at him."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Wancheng, dressed in men's clothing, waved his hand and said, "These are things that have been planned long ago. Since that guy dared to let me out, he would have decided that Li Yuan would not do anything to him. If it weren't for this, Fatty Wan, would you have the chance to leave the Tai Chi Palace?"
“Speaking of it…”
Wan Yulou couldn't help but sigh and said, "That guy's plan is really amazing. He actually plotted himself in. I really don't know where he came from. If Li Yuan was furious, he sent someone to kill him, if the lord knows, we will also be implicated."
"He's a ruthless man!"
Wang Qinian also nodded and said, "So we can't make any mistakes. If we work so hard to get the opportunity, we will show that our waste is coming!"
"Ming Yezi at Xuanwu Gate!"
Wan Yulou stood up and waved his fist, and said majestic: "I want to build a great achievement!"
Military Preparation Government Office
Zhang Gongjin looked at the confidant general Wei Tianchui in front of him and told him: "At midnight tonight, I will ask someone to open the south gate. You will take a thousand elite cavalry and fight out. Just rush forward and don't worry about how many people are killed or injured. As long as you break out of the siege, rush to Jingxiang as quickly as possible, and ask the county prince Li Xiaogong to return to the army to rescue Chang'an immediately."
"I will understand!"
The burly Wei Tian patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty's trust and the general's trust will last forever!"
Zhang Gongjin nodded and said, "I would rather fight to the death than retreat, do you remember?"
Xi Neiyuan City Gate
Liu Hongji took off his sword and handed it to Xu Sheng and said angrily: "Tonight's fight is extremely dangerous. If it is really difficult to rush out, come back. I will explain it to you in front of His Majesty. It seems that Yan Yun's army is loose on guard in the east city, but Li Xian has always been cautious in using troops. How can he leave opportunities for others? What seems simple and easy is that ninety percent of the trap he deliberately left behind."
"The last one..."
Xu Sheng's eyes turned red and he took the Hengdao and said, "The General cannot come back. If he can't rush out, he should die in battle. Otherwise, he will be implicated by General. How can I bear it? When my family changed dramatically, the General took me in. Today is the time for the General to repay my kindness!"
Liu Hongji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I gave you the kindness I gave you, you don't have to confuse this matter with the court... Live well and say a word that lost my head... When the King of Qin rebelled, I figured out one thing. After all, the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Li family. Who was sitting on that chair belonged to the Li family... Why bother so many people to die?"
"General!"
Xu Sheng looked at Liu Hongji in disbelief, and he really didn't expect Liu Hongji to say such words.
Liu Hongji glanced at the soldiers on duty on the city wall and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at this soldier, the elderly are only forty years old, and the young are only fourteen or five years old. I don't know how many people will die in this battle. The emperor won, and their families can receive a little bit of cold pension. People outside the city won, and they don't even have any pensions!"
He slapped the battlements of the city walls: "If you fight with foreign enemies, kill Goguryeo, kill Turks, or even kill Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian's people are nothing, but now the people from the Tang Dynasty are killing each other! I feel... unhappy!"
...

Mid-time
The Mingde Gate in the south city of Chang'an and Tonghua Gate in the east city opened at the same time. Xu Sheng frowned and led one thousand troops out of Tonghua Gate. Wei Tianchui led one thousand troops out of Mingde Gate. Without a torch, the war horses also stopped their mouths. They slowly left the city while the night was dark. When they were about to reach the Yanyun Army camp, they suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards the camp.
Niu Jinda, who led his army to block the gates of the southern city of Chang'an, was already asleep. He suddenly heard the sound of the horn in the camp and immediately turned over and got up. He had not taken off his armor in the past few days. He reached out and grabbed the long spear beside him and walked out quickly. There were already several places in front of the camp, and many people were running towards the camp gate.
"All the archers retreat, and the giant shield formation is on the top! The archers are behind, and the spearmen are next!"
Niu Jinda strode forward and ordered: "The raid at night must be a light cavalry rushing forward. The archers cannot stop it. All the cavalry will be on the horse. If the Tang army breaks out of the camp, kill them, and don't leave any one!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded and walked with big strides.
Niu Jinda sneered and thought to himself that he had been waiting for these few days, and finally waited.
Outside the East City
When Pei Xingyan heard the sound of the horn, he laughed loudly, grabbed a pair of copper hammers and rushed out of the tent, and ran and shouted: "Come and kill a few, I have been itchy in my hands these days!"
