Chapter 142: Retribution is here. This is fate.

Since Zhang Daozong did not come up with the imperial edict, the so-called emperor's edict was simply untenable, and he did not directly say who the "thief" who killed the thief was.

No one asked questions.

Compared with these big-headed soldiers, especially the Zuo Tun Guards, who basically act as mascots, they usually cannot take the opportunity to fight and can only take the dead military pay.

Five hundred stakes are equivalent to more than two million yuan in later generations. When ordinary big-headed soldiers faced such a huge sum of money, their brains were no longer in control. It was the one hundred stakes in their hands, which was equivalent to more than four hundred thousand yuan, which was also their money to buy their lives.

Zhang Daozong, who was riding on the horse, said in a hand: "Punish the thief by the emperor's will!"

The soldiers shouted together: "Punish the thief, kill the thief!"

Zhang Daozong rode his horse and rushed towards Fanglin Gate.

The movement of 1,500 soldiers was quite loud. Zhang Daozong, who was at the front of the team, became increasingly confused. They would definitely be moved by the guards. Although Yuchi Gong led the left guards to leave Chang'an City and went to Lingzhou to quell the Tielite rebellion, the Tai Chi Palace also had the right guards and left and right guards. The entire Tai Chi Palace's military strength was still no less than 20,000 soldiers. Not to mention defending the entire Tai Chi Palace, it would be enough to guard the entire Chang'an City.

Advancing along the tall and majestic palace walls towards Fanglin Gate, the closer they approached Fanglin Gate, the more uneasy Zhang Daozong was.

As a general of the rank of Zuotun Weiyi Prefecture, he was very familiar with the rules in the army and knew the combat effectiveness and vigilance of Wuhouwei, and he was already ready to fight.

The Wuhou Wei of the left and right was stationed in Fanglin Gate with a Xun Mansion. Usually, two regiments commanded more than 600 troops to guard the war. It is not impossible to kill him, but he will definitely go through a bloody battle.

However, now, not to mention human figures, even ghost shadows are invisible to the city gate five hundred steps away.

Since the Chang'an Tai Chi Palace is close to the North City, you can pass through Fanglin Gate and the Yeting Palace.

The Yeting Palace is an ancient palace building and belongs to the Tai Chi Palace. The residence of the palace maids and the places where the criminal bureaucrats and the families of women with no one's labor. It is roughly divided into three areas. The middle is the residential area of ​​the palace maids, which also includes the places where the criminal bureaucrats and women with no one's labor. The north of the Yeting Palace is Taicang, and the southwest is the location of the Escort Province. The Escort Province is an eunuch institution, the so-called "internal escort, promulgation and orders" in charge of all major and minor affairs in the palace.

Although there is no army in the Yeting Palace now, there are quite a few palace maids and eunuchs, and a few of them have tens of thousands of people. But have they slept to death together?

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Daozong did not hesitate and had to bite the bullet and move forward.

...

China is a farming society, mainly farming. Except for cities, it is surrounded by natural villages formed by clans, or manor houses. More than 70% of the land on the Guanzhong Plain is in the hands of aristocratic families. These families do not form villages based on clans as units, but are scattered in the form of manors.

As early as the night was just around Chang'an, more than 300 large and small manors scattered around Chang'an slowly moved. As the torches lit up, the managers of various manors called out as private soldiers disguised as tenants, and then directly distributed weapons and armor without saying a word.

The private soldiers had no questions or refute the orders of the manager.

After all, the private soldiers of the aristocratic clans all depend on the aristocratic clans to survive. The private soldiers of the aristocratic clans of this era were actually of the same nature as the servants of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty. First of all, their equipment was better than the regular government soldiers of the court, and their treatment was better. Although Li Jiancheng distributed seven jin and two hundred coins, the salary of the private soldiers was at least 20 jin year after year.

These private soldiers knew very well who gave their food and clothing. They naturally obeyed the orders of their families. Not to mention breaking the law, even if they rebel, they had no psychological burden. They only had a family, no court, and no country in their hearts.

As the private soldiers from the courtyards organized, they followed the organization, silently wore armor and weapons, and followed the private soldiers' generals to slowly move towards the city of Chang'an in the dark.

At midnight, the 100,000 private troops joined by the aristocratic families were approaching the Fanglin Gate in the north gate of Chang'an City.

Zheng Rentai was wearing armor and stood outside, with 100,000 people all leaning over in the darkness, and could only open the city gate inside.

Once the city gate is opened, he can enter Chang'an City along the Fanglin Gate and then quickly enter the Yeting Palace. The key is that next to the Yeting Palace Palace is Da'an Palace. This Da'an Palace was originally the Hongyi Palace. It was built in the fifth year of Wude. It is located west of Tai Chi Palace. The palace is relatively humble and small, but it has beautiful scenery in the mountains and forests. Li Yuan was originally built for the Qin King Li Shimin.

At that time, because of the rebellion of Liu Shishan in Hebei and the rebellion of the 39 prefectures of Hebei, Li Yuan accidentally learned that Li Shimin had acted in Hebei. Although he ordered Hou Junji to find out the news and Hou Junji concealed it for Li Shimin, as the emperor, Li Yuan analyzed from the perspective of interests that Hebei was in chaos at that time, and it was more in line with Li Shimin's interests. Therefore, the purpose of building this palace was to detain Li Shimin nearby.

Unfortunately, in the original historical time and space, Li Shimin succeeded, but instead locked Li Yuan in Da'an Palace to celebrate his old age. In this time and space, after Li Jiancheng defeated the Eastern Turks, he firmly settled in the world. Li Yuan voluntarily moved to Da'an Palace to free up the Tai Chi Palace for Li Jiancheng.

As long as you enter Da'an Palace and control Li Yuan in your hands, the matter will be halfway.

Seeing the agreed time getting closer, Zheng Rentai was also secretly anxious.

...

In the Xianchi Hall, separated by a wall from the Yeting Palace, Li Jiancheng was obviously a little absent-minded.

Li Jiancheng played chess with Wei Zheng. According to Wei Zheng's chess skills, Li Jiancheng was no match at all. Li Jiancheng could not win even if he let Li Jiancheng three sons. At this time, Li Jiancheng was not in a state, and he was even more unbearable.

Watching Li Jiancheng lose in a mess.

Chen Ying said with a relaxed look: "Your Majesty, I will play in a game with Duke Zheng!"

Wei Zheng suddenly turned red and said with a stern face: "No..."

Chen Ying touched his nose, looking innocent.

As the saying goes, people are like their chess. Chen Ying plays chess and sets up his marching and formation, only talking about the victory or defeat and not the process. He likes to lay mines for his opponents, and also likes to watch his opponents. When he is sure to win, he is killed and defeated.

Li Jiancheng stood up and looked northwest: "It's time!"

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Calculate the time, it's time to start!"

With Chen Ying's sentence begins.

The originally silent corridor of Fanglin Gate suddenly seemed to come alive.

With a sound that made people's teeth sore, dense Tang army soldiers appeared on the city wall, which was originally empty. A powerful crossbow had already opened, and the terrifyingly sharp arrowheads had already been embedded in the arrow groove, pointing straight at the Zuotun Weiyi Mansion under the city.

A cold and bloodthirsty aura swept across the city, which made the whole Yi Yi Mansion change his face. The most terrifying thing was that when they heard the clanging sound of their armor, the ground was slightly shaken, and thousands of heavy-armed Modao infantry rushed out of the city gate like a group of tanks, and thousands of Modao carried on their shoulders.

With just one order, it would immediately chop down without any mercy, causing the death and injury of Yi Yi Mansion to be everywhere!

Around the powerful crossbow, the armored soldiers are majestic, and the murderous aura is soaring into the sky, facing such a formation.

Zhang Daozong couldn't help but have both liver and gallbladder and almost didn't urinate.

Zhang Daozong said with a trembling voice: "General Yuchi"

Yuchi Jingde, who was standing on the city gate, sneered: "Zhang Daozong, tied up himself!"

The soldiers and soldiers were frowning.

When Zhang Daozong saw Yuchi Gong on the city wall, he knew it was over. Why did Yuchi Gong, who was clearly heading to Lingzhou to suppress the rebellion, appear on the city wall? However, he no longer has a way out.

Yuchi Gong shouted: "Zhang Daozong wants to rebel,! The soldiers remained still! Those who violated the situation were treated as followers!"

Zhang Daozong felt a sudden slap in his heart. He didn't care about anything else at the moment. He straightened his body straight and shouted angrily: "All the soldiers, follow me to kill!"

Zhang Daozong was not afraid of death. He knew that as long as he rushed with Yuchi Gong within the city wall, the private soldiers of the family outside the city would definitely find that this was a conspiracy and they could get out very early.

If it weren't for Yuchi Gong, under the instigation of Zhang Daozong, everyone might have followed him to open the city gate under the temptation of money.

But Yuchi Gong came, and he came with the soldiers of the Modao Army. What it represents is naturally self-evident.

Yuchi Gong watched Zhang Daozong rushing towards him, snatched a spear from the soldiers beside him, and threw it at Zhang Daozong like a javelin.

Yuchi Gong was extremely powerful, and the spear flew extremely fast. When Zhang Daozong had no time to avoid it, he poured it into Zhang Daozong's chest and penetrated out of his back.

Zhang Daozong was immediately extinguished and died, while the soldiers of Zuotun Weiyi Mansion were at a loss.

Yuchi Gong shouted: "You and others, led by their respective lieutenants and brigade commanders, will be strictly prohibited from taking half a step out of the barracks until the ban is lifted, and those who violate the law will be killed!"

The soldiers dared not say anything.

...

As the eunuch took a small step, he quickly ran into the Xianchi Hall and bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, General Yuchi has taken down the rebel!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a big show to come on stage, please move!"

Wei Zhengben couldn't bear it, he was afraid that many people would die.

After all, Chen Ying is back.

Chen Ying is not Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng will be kind and open-minded, but Chen Ying will definitely not.

Chen Ying looked at Wei Zheng's appearance and knew that he wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng not to kill anyone.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Prime Minister Wei, no innocent person will die today!"

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Their wife and children are so innocent!"

"Are you innocent?" Chen Ying curled his lips and said, "I have enjoyed all my wealth and glory on weekdays. Now that the retribution comes, it is their fate!"

In fact, Chen Ying really never thought of killing all these aristocratic families. After all, they are the inheritors of Chinese civilization.
