Chapter 1748 Prepare for Battle! (Two)

Chapter 1748 [Chapter Three]

Hou Junji glanced at Huang Tianzhao, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, just such a tiny expression made Huang Tianzhao's face turn red, but he couldn't think of where he said something wrong.

"Commander Huang has underestimated our foreign king too much. The reason why he scattered his soldiers and horses everywhere and kept hidden is to wait for us to move and reveal his flaws. Only when we move can he justify his name and summon the army. Intrude into the palace openly. Besides, don't forget, our purpose was never to kill the foreign king!"

Hearing the sarcasm in the ghost's voice, Huang Tianzhao was startled and immediately reacted. The reason why everyone gathered here was definitely not to eliminate a single Wang Chong, the real target was the one in Tai Chi Palace. As long as the matter can be successfully raised, the eldest prince can successfully sit on the throne and become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even Wang Chong will bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal.

Whether he was willing or not, he had no choice at that time.

It is only a last resort to mobilize a large army and attack foreign palaces, not to mention that there are so many people in the capital watching, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Eldest Prince's future rule. Even if the army besieged, it might not be able to trap Wang Chong.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Huang Tianzhao blushed, and quickly shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.

"Jin Youshi, closely monitor the palace of the foreign prince, and follow my orders!"

The king of ghosts.

"yes!"

Jin Youshi quickly bowed and said.

"Report!"

While they were talking, suddenly a guard of the Eastern Palace hurried in.

"Your Highness, the second and third princes are here!"

"What?!"

Hearing these words, the eldest prince's eyes lit up, his spirits lifted, and everyone in the East Palace was also overjoyed.

The second prince, Li Yao, and the third prince, Li Ju, are both of royal blood and distinguished status. Each of them can lead an army of 1,000 soldiers. According to the order of the first prince, the two of them have been actively planning outside a long time ago to recruit an army. .

With the help of two people, the hope of this operation is even greater!

"Hahaha,

Brother Huang, my third brother and I are here to help you! "

Before the people from afar appeared, a burst of public laughter came out through the door and reached everyone's ears. In just a moment, the First Prince and the Second Prince were dressed in golden armor and led a group of generals in solid armor. Zhi Rui, amidst the sound of clashing nails, filed in and entered the hall.

"Second brother, third brother, you are finally here!"

The eldest prince was filled with joy, he opened his arms, and walked towards the two first. The three brothers hugged each other tightly.

...

At the same time, the foreign land palace was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was equally tense.

"Warning! On the last day of the True Dragon Project, the host must come up with a solution to this crisis as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wiped out!"

In his mind, the voice of the Stone of Destiny was extremely ear-piercing. In the last few days, Wang Chong had heard it three times. Chong has received news that Zhang Zheng's army will arrive tonight. In memory, the tragic Three Kings Rebellion must be today.

"How are our men?"

Wang Chong stared at the chessboard in front of him without turning his head.

"My lord, everything is in place, and everything is waiting for my lord's order."

Cheng Sanyuan said respectfully.

Wang Chong just nodded slightly, and didn't say much. He looked at the chessboard, the black pieces on it were criss-crossed, and they had turned into a big net to strangle them.

"Crazy!"

In the night, bursts of high-pitched screams of hawks came from deep above the palace, which was particularly eye-catching in this night.

During this period of time, the hawks of the East Palace came back and forth, and reached their peak. Nearly ten thousand hawks covered the sky, circling in the sky, and the sky above the entire foreign palace was almost completely blocked.

But at this moment, Wang Chong has no time to worry about these things.

"Where's Zhang Que?"

Wang Chong suddenly said.

"Zhang Que is leading the eagle and vulture team to fight back with all their strength."

Xu Keyi on the side said. Saying these words, everyone in the hall felt heavy in their hearts.

In a war, eyes, ears, and intelligence represent almost everything, and what everyone is facing tonight is far more influential than a war. Without convenient contact and communication methods, it is difficult for everyone to imagine what will happen next How difficult this "battle" will be.

Without the aid of the hawks, the entire foreign palace can only convey news through manpower. This method is extremely primitive and inefficient. What's more, all the spies, eyes and ears of the Eastern Palace are attacking the people in the foreign palace with all their strength, even reaching To the point of being aboveboard and unabashed. Under the current curfew, almost every message is written with human life.

"In addition, Zhang Que just received news that the second and third princes have entered the palace."

As soon as Xu Keyi's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more oppressive, and everyone's hearts became heavier.

Although the Eastern Palace is still in a state of reticence until now, everyone can smell a dangerous breath, and the storm is getting closer.

"In addition, Duke Guo, Duke Wei, and the family members of Censor Cao and Censor Duan came here just now, and they said that this morning, the eldest prince sent them and almost all the civil and military officials in Beijing to discuss state affairs and it was extremely urgent. Called into the palace. A group of ministers entered the palace early, but now the palace gate has been closed, and they have not returned yet."

Cheng Sanyuan said. Hearing these words, Wang Chong's heart sank.

Throughout the dynasties, all those who have evil intentions and plot rebellion must do one thing to control the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and stifle all opposing voices.

It was precisely these civil and military officials who suffered the most from the Rebellion of the Three Kings.

After the curfew, Wang Chong had actually reminded the civil and military officials in Beijing that they would not go to the early court due to various reasons such as physical illness, but Guo Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Cao Lao Yushi all put state affairs first Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for civil and military officials not to go to court and refuse.

This is the pedantry of these court loyalists, but it is also their respectability.

"You tell them to rest assured, I will definitely try my best to rescue them!"

Wang Chong said.

"yes!"

Cheng Sanyuan said respectfully.

After explaining this, Wang Chong's eyes focused on the chessboard again. In Wang Chong's eyes, those sunspots had already turned into countless soldiers and horses. "The arrow is on the string and has to be fired", this is the current situation of the First Prince. No one understands better than Wang Chong that the First Prince will definitely not delay until tomorrow, but so far, the entire capital is full of fog, and there is a problem in the fog , is what Wang Chong has to solve.

That is when the East Palace will start to act!

One hundred thousand forbidden troops plus tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the time is undoubtedly on the side of the East Palace, and the initiative is also in their hands, but so far, although they have controlled the inner and outer city gates and various main roads, the East Palace has not been controlled until now. No mutiny had been staged so far, no doubt they must have been biding their time.

Before that, even if Wang Chong had soldiers and horses in his hands, he must not act rashly in the slightest. Acting rashly is a crime of treason, and it will give Donggong a handle instead.

This will be the opportunity that Donggong has been waiting for for a long time.

But if Wang Chong's reaction was a little slower, when the conspiracy in the palace was completed and the overall situation was settled, Wang Chong would be powerless to recover even if he had a heavy army in his hand and prepared for a long time.

As long as there is the slightest mistake in the timing of sending troops, it will be a world of difference and different results. The fate of the entire empire depends entirely on his own thoughts. At this moment, Wang Chong dare not be careless at all.

"Hou Junji, what are you waiting for? When is the right time for you to send troops?"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Zhang Zheng's Beiting Imperial Guards are on their way to the capital, but Wang Chong has a feeling that with Hou Junji's character, he probably won't wait for the Beiting Imperial Guards to arrive before taking action. After all, he has a hundred thousand Imperial Guards in his hand. , Launching a rebellion is already more than a mistake.

Time passed slowly, the hall was quiet, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

...

"call!"

The wind blew, and another place, in the Song Palace far away from the foreign palace, was the old butler in a gray robe, standing at the door of the main hall, behind him was the guard commander Luo Tong, who was in heavy armor and half hidden in the darkness. And further back, there are rows of guards, all lined up in a square formation, waiting in full force.

Most of the lights in the entire Prince Song Mansion have been extinguished, leaving only a few lights on the courtyard wall and the entrance of the main hall. The light is dim, but in the darkness, the strength of the Prince Song Mansion has increased several times. The bowstring is stretched, the sword is unsheathed, and everyone is ready to deal with the attack that may arrive at any time.

"What's going on in the foreign palace?"

The old butler looked in the direction of the foreign palace, the breeze was blowing, and his gray robes were dancing with it. The wind and rain were coming. Looking from the direction of the two of them, most of the capital was dark, and the air was full of aura. A suffocating breath.

"The empire is about to change. Now the entire capital, even the dullest people can feel it. There are only a thousand people in the palace of the foreign prince. So far, there has been no change?"

Luo Tong's humming sound came from the armor.

"He's waiting!"

The old housekeeper nodded silently. When the wind and rain come suddenly, there is no surprise, and Mount Tai will collapse without chaos. This is the most outstanding quality of Wang Chong.

From a playboy back then to the current general of the empire, the old butler almost watched him step by step to this position, and even become the pillar of the entire empire. This will be the proudest thing in his life.

"There is nothing we can do about this turmoil, and now the entire empire can only rely on him. I hope he can succeed!"

The old housekeeper murmured.

Behind him, Luo Tong remained silent, and the two looked at the direction of the foreign palace at the same time, with a kind of hope in their eyes.

Time passed slowly, bit by bit, and the entire capital became more and more silent and desolate. The originally sparse lights were reduced by more than half, and it became darker and darker.

However, despite this, the murderous aura pervading the streets and alleys continued unabated, and even the usual barking of dogs became much less common.
