At the beginning, I awakened the Taobao system

At the same time, more than a dozen remnants of a hundred soldiers rushed to the general's mansion where Erli was imprisoned, and to the mansions of Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other former officials of the Qin Palace.

A few soldiers marched bravely, and killed anyone they met.

Gradually, the squares in the northeast of Chang'an were full of flames and killing sounds, and more and more watchmen and patrol soldiers died unexpectedly.

The remnant soldiers and refugees revolted, and the city of Chang'an was in an uproar.

The people who woke up from their sleep closed their doors and windows to keep vigilant, and dared not move around.

It was Chen Xiaozu, the guard of the north gate, who first learned of the changes in the city.

This person came to the fore during the Northern Expedition, learned of the situation in Chang'an, led the army to suppress it, and sent his own soldiers to Hou Junji's mansion to report the situation.

The Mansion of General Youwei.

into the night.

Hou Junji specially deployed Chang'an City Defense. In the dead of night, Hou Junji was still at his desk planning, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing from a distance, he slightly raised his head and rubbed his temples, thinking that he was suffering from auditory hallucinations due to fatigue.

bang bang... bang bang...

Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door outside the study, and then the soldiers reported: "General, there are killing sounds in the northeast of Chang'an, and the fire is as bright as day."

Chang'an, northeast?
Hearing the news, Hou Junji stood up abruptly.

In recent days, refugees have entered the city, and most of them gather in two relatively poor places in the northeast and northwest of Chang'an.

The Northeast City raised troops tonight, could it be...

Hou Junji looked shocked, grabbed his sword and rushed out of the study.

"what happened?"

The soldier looked depressed and shook his head diffusely: "I don't know, but I have sent someone to investigate."

Hearing the sound, Hou Junji couldn't help feeling bad.

There are many exiles in and out of Chang'an. It is not known how many Turkic remnants were among them, how many remnants of soldiers entered Chang'an, and it is not known whether refugees participated or whether there were black hands behind the scenes.

As the general of the right guard, he stepped down from the post of the general of the left guard Chai Shao. However, Chai Shao was promoted to the general of the right guard and led the troops to Hebei Road. There was a vacancy for the general of the left guard.

Most of the right guards under his command were distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty, and a small number of right guard guards were also taken away by Zhang Liang, and the remaining soldiers were bravely stationed in the south of the city barracks.In Chang'an City, there are only left and right guards guarding the gates of various palaces, and there are only hundreds of Qianniu guards in the palace to protect the emperor.

Chang'an's defense is empty.

When Hou Junji was wearing the armor, he shouted an order: "Send people out of the city quickly, and order the right guard army to enter the city to serve the king."

When the soldiers turned away and left, Hou Junji grabbed the opponent's armor suddenly: "Inform Duke Xu that he is outside the city and is in charge of the Shenwu Army. Inform Duke Xu of the situation in the city and suggest that he lead the army closer to Chang'an in case of accidents."

Enter the palace.

Protect the emperor.

Hou Junji conveyed the military order, and when he raised his sword and mounted his horse, a sharp arrow flew over and directly shot and killed the soldiers nearby. Dozens of refugees dressed up as remnants of soldiers and held swords, approaching them.

"General, it's a remnant Turkic soldier." Seeing this, the general next to him shouted.

Turkic remnants?

After all, it was because of tiger breeding that they sneaked into Chang'an from Guannei Road.

Hou Junji's face was ashen, and he gave an order with a long sword: "Slay the remnant soldiers, go to the palace quickly, and protect the emperor."

A group of more than a hundred soldiers went forward to fight with hundreds of guards.

When Hou Junji rode his horse to the imperial palace, the messenger from the north gate arrived, panting and took him before his horse, stammering: "General, the remnants of the army sneaked into the city and rushed to Zhuque Street, heading straight for the imperial palace. Scatter the remnants everywhere Enter the palace and the mansion of important ministers with a purpose.

At the same time, many unsuspecting refugees took the opportunity to set fire and rob, and it was difficult to distinguish the enemy from ourselves in the city. "

"hateful……"

Hou Junji scolded angrily.

uprising?

Is this an uprising? This is a purposeful and targeted mutiny.

Hou Junji didn't care too much, and sternly shouted: "Pass my military order, the right guards enter the city bravely, and immediately send some soldiers to protect the princes."

At midnight, Du Ruhui's Mansion, Fang Xuanling's Mansion, Li Shentong's Mansion, Cheng Yaojin's Mansion, etc., all the old generals' mansions in the Qin Dynasty's mansion and the mansions of the generals in charge of military power in Chang'an were all attacked by small-scale remnants. Delay them from going to the palace and dispatching troops.

The starry sky shrouded Chang'an City into a sea of ​​flames.

Royal Palace.

Li Shimin had just fallen asleep, not even sound asleep yet.

The earth-shattering killing sound resounded through the earth, and he sat up abruptly, awakening the sleeping Empress Changsun.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Empress Changsun asked in a sleepy, puzzled manner.The next moment, her face turned pale, and there was a killing sound, there was a killing sound...

Li Shimin Longyan was furious, and rushed out of the bedroom in a dragon robe, and asked the guards of the imperial guards: "What's going on, where did the mutiny happen?"

"Your Majesty, the general will not know."

The forbidden army's expression was sudden, the voice came from outside the palace, and no one in the palace knew what was going on.

"Check, quickly check!" Li Shimin shouted.

Changes have taken place in Chang'an, and all officials are silent.

Li Shimin faintly felt that something was wrong, and was afraid that it might be as simple as a mutiny.

In anxiety, Li Junxian hurriedly approached the soldiers in armor, clasped his fists and reported, "Your Majesty, in Chang'an, there is an army attacking the palace."

This……

Li Shimin remained calm on the surface, but was extremely surprised in his heart.

The army rushed to the palace.

Could it be that someone planned to stage the Xuanwu Gate mutiny during the Zhenguan period.

At present, the defenders in Chang'an, including Yuan Cong's forbidden army stationed at Xuanwu Gate, are at least superficially loyal to him. The Qianniu guards who protect the palace, the gate guards guarding the gates of various palaces, and the left and right guards guarding the city are all his. cronies.

mutiny?

Where did the mutiny come from.

Li Shimin was at a loss like never before.

Remnants.

Could it be that the remnant soldiers who sneaked into the city broke out.

Hastily shouted: "Pass down my will, mobilize Yuan to enter the palace quickly from the forbidden army."

At present, the 3 yuan Congjun army stationed at Xuanwumen is the closest to the palace. Yuan Congjun troops are all veterans of the Taiyuan Uprising, protecting the palace in times of crisis.

"Here!"

The forbidden army led the way.

Li Shimin paused, took out the seal he was wearing and handed it to the eunuch beside him, and ordered: "Lead a team of forbidden troops out of the city, and quickly order Hou Junji to call the left and right guards into the city to serve the king."

Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who dares to cause trouble in Chang'an, he will personally kill the other party.

Li Shimin turned back to the bedroom, quickly changed his clothes, and put on the armor once in a while.

When walking out of the palace, several concubines and princesses rushed over in panic.

Li Shimin didn't have time to talk, and shouted: "Li Junxian, take the imperial army and I to the south gate?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is unknown, and you absolutely cannot risk yourself." Li Junxian was horrified. The situation in the city was unknown, and the enemy army was coming fiercely. The emperor went there rashly. If there was a mistake, he was afraid...

"What are you afraid of? The Xuanjia soldiers of Suzakumen are not vegetarians." Li Shimin grabbed his longbow.

Seeing this, Empress Changsun urgently persuaded: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you must not take any risks."

"Your Majesty, the situation is unknown, and we will make a decision after the officials enter the palace to report." Wei Guifei persuaded.

Hearing the sound, Li Shimin scolded: "A woman's opinion."

Bing Yong's mischief is only a superficial phenomenon. If the refugees in the city mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous. He must appear in a place where Bing Yong can see.

Besides, he had to be wary of his father.

Empress Changsun, Concubine Wei Gui, Concubine Yan De and others were silent.

The situation in the city is complicated and confusing, the emperor cannot back down, not to mention the emperor has experienced many battles, even if Chang'an is unstable, I believe he is capable of dealing with it.

Li Shimin held a longbow and a long knife and climbed to the top of Suzaku Gate, many remnants of Turkic soldiers had already poured in outside, like sea water attacking the palace gate one after another.

Fortunately, the gate of the palace is strong, the walls are high and thick, and the remnant soldiers and refugees do not have powerful siege equipment, so it is difficult to break through the gate in a short period of time by manpower alone.

Turkic remnants?

Finally seeing clearly the identity of the perpetrator, Li Shimin's face showed a thick expression of sternness.

He wins over the Quartet.In order to demonstrate the benevolence of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he did not hesitate to refute the suggestions of the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, and arranged the captured and remnant soldiers in the Guannei Road.

Raging rage spread, Li Shimin drew his sword and pointed it outside, and ordered to the Xuanjia soldiers of Suzakumen and the forbidden army: "Shoot, shoot quickly, no one will be left alive."

The palace defense battle started, however, the situation in the palace is still not good.

On Suzaku Street, there was a constant stream of remnant soldiers and refugees, like surging waves, planning to flood the palace overnight.
