Chapter 47: Tiger's whiskers become spots
The smell of gunpowder is really reminiscent. If a general is compared to a tiger, then a general who smells gunpowder may be extremely excited like a tiger who smells bloody smell.
The premise is that this general cannot be a coward.
The explosion sounded, as if the ground was trembling. Liang Shuxie opened his eyes and looked up, and saw a burst of black smoke rising from the neighborhood not far away.
A moment later, the horn sounded, which was the signal he agreed with his confidant. Now that this signal appears, it means that one side has solved a patrol army.
The plan went smoothly, and I don’t know how the palace was going.
Liang Shuxie thought so, turned his head to look at the side of the palace. The previous explosions at Xuanwu Gate of the Palace should have successfully forced the imperial guards to close the palace gate and unable to defend themselves to prevent anyone from attacking the palace.
He knew that this was a natural reaction. The Qi and his son must have made such arrangements in advance, so his opportunity came.
Looking at the smoke that had dissipated over the palace, Liang Shuxiu remembered the past and that day.
About eighteen years ago, King Yuwen Zhi of Wei took advantage of his brother and Emperor Yuwen Yong's patrol, and launched a coup in Chang'an, leading his followers to attack the Suzhang Gate of the Palace, trying to invade the palace, hold the crown prince Yuwen Yun hostage, and control the center.
At that time, Yuwen Yong's confidant, Yuchi Yun, happened to be in the palace. He heard the news and rushed to Suzhang Gate. Seeing that the gate guards suffered heavy casualties, he was in a hurry to go to the gate of the palace himself. His hand was cut, but he finally closed the door.
Yuwen Zhi was only one step away from attacking the palace, but was turned away and was so anxious that he set fire to the palace gate.
Seeing this, Yuchi Yun attacked the fire with fire and ordered people to pile up a large amount of flammable objects in the palace on the inside of Suzhang Gate, poured ointment oil, and then ignited it, causing the Suzhang Gate to ignite a huge fire.
The palace gate was burned in the flames, but Yuwen Zhi and his followers were blocked by the fire and still could not enter the palace.
Yuwen Zhi, who failed to hit the attack, had to retreat. He was taken by Yuchi Yun to lead his troops to pursue him. He was defeated. Yuwen Zhi fled to Jingzhou and was arrested. In the end, he lost his life with his ten sons.
At that time, the young Liang Shuxie stayed in the palace, and together with other guards, he tried hard to guard Suzhang Gate under the command of Yuchi Yun, and witnessed the use of fire to attack fire with his own eyes.
Eighteen years later, Liang Shuxie, who had already entered middle age, looked at the smoke dissipating above the palace and couldn't help but think that if there was a thunder in Wei Wang Yuwenzhi's hands, the situation would have been different.
In a coup, it is important to hit a single blow. You must kill the key figures before the opponent can react. You cannot tolerate delays. Otherwise, the opportunity will be fleeting and you will be defeated and you will die.
This is the same as fighting. If you want to kill the general's head among the troops, you must seize the opportunity and lead the elite troops into the enemy's own formation. Before their left and right wings react, kill the enemy general.
Now, Liang Shuxie is waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the time comes, he leads his elite troops to attack.
At this time, he and his brothers should be keeping a spirit for his deceased father, so no one would have thought that Liang Sanlang, who was wearing mourning clothes, would gather the elite troops of the Liang family and launch a surprise attack on the target.
The goal is of course the palace.
There are not only the emperor in the palace, but also all civil and military officials. As long as one strike is hit, the palace will be controlled and the great things will be accomplished.
Liang Shuxie, who was waiting for the opportunity at this time, finally waited for the good news brought by his troops: Xuanwu Gate, the northern gate of the imperial palace, which was attacked by a self-destructed carriage, was gathering in large numbers.
After receiving this news, Liang Shuxie rode a horse and attacked with his troops without hesitation.
It was like a tiger descending the mountain, pounced on the prey that was insane.
If the carefully planned plan is implemented smoothly, then the Tai Chi Hall will be bloody and Yuwen Liang, who was assassinated by the orphanage of the Cai family, will be almost dead.
Faced with the angry Prince Qi Yu Wenming, the emperor's party will definitely fight to the death.
Whether it is the emperor who killed Yu Wenliang, Yu Wenming and his son, or the emperor's collapse in the melee, there is only one winner, and that is him.
It would be best if the emperor is fine. If he dies, wouldn’t there be a prince?
Everything, just like the plan of Wei Wang Yuwen Zhi back then, took the prince to control the government, but Yuwen Zhi failed, and Liang Shuxie did not think he would fail because he had thunder.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Yizhou, the sky-blasting thunder that he had finally accumulated secretly was Liang Shuxie's most important reliance. With this reliance, he would not follow the footsteps of Wang Yuwen Zhi of the guard, and was defeated and died because he was unable to invade the palace.
But the enemy he faced was the father and son of King Qi who firmly controlled Chang'an and the palace. The imperial guards in the palace had far more troops than him. Even if he attacked the palace, he had no chance of winning against the imperial guards with superior forces.
So what? If you act together inside and outside, your chances of winning are already quite high.
For Liang Shuxie, if you are a tiger, you should not be a tiger with a head that looks like a sick cat, but should become the king of all beasts.
Eighteen years ago, Liang Shuxie, who was desperately guarding Suzhang Sect, has now figured out that he should be the master of his own destiny. Therefore, today eighteen years later, he would be a feint to attack Xuanwu Gate, which actually broke Suzhang Sect.
At this time, some of the imperial guards in the palace must gather in the Tai Chi Hall, and some of them must gather in the Xuanwu Gate that was attacked. The troops distributed at Suzhang Gate are naturally less.
At this time, the Tai Chi Palace should also see the news that King Qi was dead came out. How many people in the gate guarding the imperial guards were willing to do their best to resist?
With the sound of horse hooves, the Suzhang Gate was clearly visible in the sight ahead, and in the empty street, the self-destructing carriage that Liang Shuxie carefully prepared was just enough to take advantage of this to move forward quickly and rush towards Suzhang Gate.
......
The imperial palace and Tai Chi Hall were in chaos, and the imperial guards were surveillance of civil and military officials. Although they did not draw their swords at each other, it was almost the same. Many officials were silent when they saw this.
Just now, a dancing genius suddenly became angry. Before everyone could come back to their senses, the genius rushed towards King Qi, then hugged each other tightly, and the two wrapped the flames.
In the fire, the screams of King Qi were heard clearly by the people in the hall. However, even if the guards rushed up, even if they were ignited, they could not pull them away.
When the guard waved his knife to cut off the genius' arm and rescued King Qi, and put out the flames on his body, King Qi could no longer speak, only moaned in pain, and the genius had been burned black by the fire, and the hall was filled with a burning smell of flesh that made people smell nauseous.
The matter is obvious. King Qi was assassinated and the murderer was killed on the spot, and the commander behind the scenes...
Many officials couldn't help but glance at the imperial throne, and saw Mr. Liu, Yu Wenhua and others and several guards guarding the emperor. The emperor seemed to be drunk and still not awake, murmured without knowing what to say.
At this time, the atmosphere in Tai Chi Hall was very tense. When all the officials saw the prince Qi, the prince of King Qi, standing under the steps with his sword, and looked at the imperial guards surrounded by him, and couldn't help but feel sweaty.
The thunder sounds from outside the palace mean that the situation is not good. Someone is in trouble. The thunder sounds should be the sound of the thunder explosion. The officials who can feast in the Tai Chi Hall today are not fools, and they understand what this means.
The imperial guards in the hall are all confidants appointed by King Qi. The imperial guards only obey the orders of King Qi and his son. Now King Qi is assassinated, and his life and death are uncertain. The imperial doctor is rescued. What if Prince Qi is excited and does something...
The conflict between the emperor and King Qi was about to break out. The breakup between the two sides came so suddenly and bloody that many officials were surprised. They understood that they were going to witness a huge change next:
Either the emperor attacked, all the ambushed soldiers were out, and the King of Qi and his son were killed. In the past, the scene of Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong killing King of Jin Yuwen Hu was reappeared.
Either the prince of Qi attacked, and the imperial guards rushed forward and took down Liu Jushi, Yu Wenji, and others who "holded" the emperor, and "helped" the emperor to another hall to "rest". In the past, Emperor Xiaomin Yuwen Jue was imprisoned and died suddenly reappeared.
