For Jin Wang Li Zhi, Cheng Yaojin's inaction was not only a sign of obvious distrust of himself, but also made Li Zhi feel a huge threat.
You agreed to depend on me. I have broken through the bottom line and given you almost impossible conditions regardless of the opposition of others. But now I use you to charge into battle, but you are hesitant and self-respecting. Are you kidding me?
Moreover, you are stationing troops behind me now. What if the emperor reaches an agreement with you again and asks you to come up behind me to take advantage of me?
Who dares to put a tiger behind him?
So this is also Niu Jinda's biggest worry. If Cheng Yaojin refuses to accept King Jin's military order, the consequences will be very serious...
However, Cheng Yaojin looked indifferent: "What can I do if I offend you? Don't think of King Jin as being so narrow-minded and petty-minded. He is definitely a man of great intelligence and magnanimity. I really thought that your Majesty had this in mind at the beginning." Is it easy to be a prince just because the King of Jin is so attractive? The qualifications of the King of Jin can be said to be the best among the princes. He is quick in thinking, filial and cheerful, tough and tolerant...Compared to His Majesty today, the King of Jin is the most suitable to be the emperor. That one. Once such a person sits on the throne, he will no longer have any scruples in his heart, and his ideological realm will naturally be vast, so why should he remember the hatred of an old bastard like me?"
Niu Jinda stared at Cheng Yaojin's face closely, not missing the slightest fluctuation in his expression. When Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he shook his head and said firmly: "No, what you said may not be a lie. This is indeed how it is treated. King Jin, you must have a plan in mind."
The two have fought side by side for half their lives, and have given each other's back more than once or twice. They are almost more familiar with each other than each other's wives. Cheng Yaojin has his tail raised, and Niu Jinda can know what the other is holding back...
Cheng Yaojin was helpless. Men who are too familiar with each other will be a little embarrassed. He said angrily: "Since you are an old cow, you don't have a good brain, so don't think too much. Just be honest and obedient. You won't worry about me." Did I sell you to you?"
Niu Jinda followed his advice and said, "That's right. You make plans and I charge into battle. We have fought side by side for many years and slept together not once or twice. Even if you sell me out, I will admit it."
Cheng Yaojin: "..."
This sounds like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, is it really a good thing?
Even if they are good words, they don’t sound good...
*****
Fengqiyuan.
The tall circular hills stood in the night, and with the rain pouring down, they became even more majestic in the blurred vision.
In a sense, the circle mound is a symbol of imperial power. "Under the sky, the world is supreme" is by no means an empty phrase. Whoever can stand on the highest platform of the circle mound to represent the common people to sacrifice to the gods is the one. The supreme being in the world.
So Li Zhi had just led his army to Fengqiyuan to join forces with Yuchi Gong. He couldn't wait to climb up the circular hill one step at a time surrounded by his subordinates. He stood under the light rain, looking down at the sky above his head and the earth. The enthusiasm and ambition of the stock market are stronger than ever.
Standing on the circular hill, looking north with hands behind hands, the city of Chang'an under the drizzle at night is like a wild beast dormant on the land of Guanzhong. Due to the tense situation, lights and candles are lit on the city walls and gates due to day and night vigilance. As well as the key passes in the city, they outline the outline of the entire city.
The position of supreme being and emperor in the world is right at your feet, within easy reach.
Yuchi Gong held the cloak outside his armor with one hand and held the sword at his waist with the other. He looked at the Chang'an City in the distance with stern eyes and said solemnly: "Liu Yanjing's defeat actually did not damage the foundation of Donggong Liuli. After all, it was all Various forces are embedded in it. Maybe it is Li Jing's treacherous plan to uproot these forces that are not completely loyal to the emperor. But in any case, the violent reaction caused by it has made everyone in the imperial court panic and have their own agenda. It is His Highness It's a great opportunity to direct our troops and bring order to the chaos. I invite you to serve as a vanguard and storm the Mingde Gate to enter Chang'an City, kill the false emperor, help the country, and protect His Highness from enthroning the throne!"
After saying that, he lifted his cloak and knelt down on one knee.
When everyone on the side saw this, they all secretly expressed their regret. How could such a "success in persuading people to enter" actually be achieved by a brave warrior?
He quickly bowed, knelt down, and said loudly: "We will help protect His Highness and ascend the throne!"
Li Zhi held the jade belt around his waist with both hands, and felt a rush of hot blood rushing from his chest and abdomen to his mind, making him feel drunk for a moment. His whole body was trembling, his hands and feet were numb, and he took a deep breath. , trying to calm down his emotions so that his voice would not tremble: "What I did was not for supreme power or imperial hegemony. These things are not worth mentioning compared with brotherhood and brotherhood. However, the reason why I raised troops to Beijing to reverse the situation, All because of the order of the late emperor. The late emperor wanted to pass the throne to me several times because the prince was cowardly and not like a human king, but he still cared about the prince, so he was unable to make a decision. Even though the late emperor was wise and mighty, and the emperor of the ages, he The deep love between licking calves is rare in ancient and modern times. Who would have expected that the prince was rebellious and feared that the throne would be lost? He actually colluded with Fang Jun, Li Jing and others to poison the late emperor. His love and sin will be unforgivable even if he is killed! Come and help me sweep away the traitors and clean up the world, he On the day of success, I will not let you down!"
True or false, right or wrong is not important at all, as long as the teacher has a reputation, the winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, who can tell who is true and who is false, who is right and who is wrong?
My father was able to tamper with history books to cover up his own "Xuanwu Gate Rebellion" to usurp the throne, why couldn't I?
As long as you can win in the end, then you are just and correct, and every word you say is the truth of heaven and earth.
Who dares to question?
Who can question it?
Everyone stood up, gathered behind King Jin, and looked at the city of Chang'an in the rainy night. Each of them felt an uncontrollable anger and pride in their hearts. Even though many of them had followed His Majesty Li Er to seize the throne and seize the throne, but now they are back. Once you come here, you will still feel the transcendent superiority of being in the clouds and overlooking all living beings.
Cui Xin's old face flushed with excitement, and he pointed at the city of Chang'an in the north: "At dawn tomorrow, His Highness can send his army northward, march to the city, conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop, and ascend to the throne!"
The Shandong aristocratic family has been suppressed for too long. Even though it was once close to the center of power during the transition of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was eventually excluded due to various reasons. Since the Jin Dynasty moved south, the Shandong aristocratic family has never been truly Controlled state power...
But now, the fate of the Shandong family is about to be turned upside down in his hands. How can the glory in it not make his heart sway and be inexplicably excited?
It seems that waiting for even a moment is a kind of torture. I wish I could rush into Chang'an City now...
However, Li Zhi poured a ladle of cold water on him.
Suppressing his excitement, Li Zhi shook his head and said solemnly: "The best time has not come yet, we have to wait a little longer."
Cui Xin was stunned: "Still waiting?"
The soldiers are so fast that they have already reached the gates of Chang'an City. If they don't take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an's city defense to break into the city, do they have to wait until Li Jing dispatches his troops to complete the defense arrangement and then face off head-on?
Yu Chigong on the side explained: "Cui Gong is not familiar with military affairs, so he inevitably misunderstood the current situation. Although we drove all the way to the Chang'an City, the imperial court was not completely powerless to fight back. On the contrary, Li Jing had the opportunity to dispatch The army is chasing us, and we have to walk through mountains of corpses and seas of blood every time we take a step forward... Everything goes too smoothly. The only explanation is that the imperial court has already prepared a countermeasure. The reason why we arrived here so smoothly is because of the imperial court's laissez-faire. .”
Cui Xin still didn't understand: "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to attack Chang'an quickly? Why do we have to wait for the imperial court to complete its deployment?"
"What we are waiting for is not Li Jing, but variables. At the moment, people in Guanzhong are still flustered and public opinion is fierce, and there is no real chaos. The best time will be when someone comes forward to respond to us."
Yuchi Gong said calmly.
Isn't he in a hurry? He is more anxious than anyone else, but he knows better that the trend seems to be going smoothly for me at the moment, but as long as I raise my troops to attack Chang'an now, I will inevitably fall into Li Jing's trap and die without a burial place.
The title of "Military God" was not gained by bragging, but by actual fighting in classic battles one after another. His military strategies are unpredictable. Anyone who dares to think that he will win in front of him will be defeated. Not far from death...
Li Zhi nodded and said: "When we were trapped in Tongguan, we were only on the edge of defeat. We have survived the difficulties. Now that we are approaching the city and we are sure of victory, why rush? The more victory is in sight, the more we must be calm. , Be patient, consider everything to ensure nothing goes wrong, and never be blinded by the easy victory. Throughout the ages, there are countless examples of people who were one step away from victory but fell short in the end. We must not repeat the same mistake."
Not to mention that the Sixth Army of the East Palace now has a complete organization and strong troops. Even if Li Chengqian's army is down to the last man, as long as Li Jing, Li Ji, and Fang Jun are there, no one in the world will dare to claim victory.
A school lieutenant climbed up the stone steps from under the circular hill in one breath. He panted behind Li Zhi and bowed: "Your Highness, the last general Wei Zhenzai was ordered to go to Lu Guogong's office to convey His Highness's military orders. However, Lu Guogong's words were unclear. , couldn't agree on one thing, so I stayed around his camp for a while and found that although the whole army was gathering, the progress was slow and false, and it was obvious that they did not respect His Highness's military order to come to join forces."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "This old bastard!"
It wasn't that his city was not deep enough that he was rude in front of everyone. It was Cheng Yaojin's behavior of disobeying military orders that was too bad. This was not just as simple as adding 40,000 brave and capable Zuowuwei under his command to increase the chance of breaking the city. , but Cheng Yaojin's bold disobedience to military orders means that he has not devoted himself to him wholeheartedly until now.
Now his army of 100,000 has gathered in Fengqiyuan, facing Chang'an City, the battle is about to break out. However, Cheng Yaojin's 40,000 elite troops are stationed south of Fanchuan, watching covetously behind his back... Who can guarantee that his entire army will attack the blood station in succession? Now, wouldn't Cheng Yaojin stab him in the back?
What was originally a great situation with troops approaching the city and a sure chance of victory suddenly turned into a dilemma with a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door, with the entire army in danger of being destroyed at every turn...
Especially when Cheng Yaojin vacillated towards Qin Muchu, his position changed again and again, and he was promised many harsh conditions but still could not get his loyalty, which really made him furious.
How can a human being be so slick and untrustworthy?
