Chapter 794 What Li Xian wants to do
"Damn Li Bin, he's so presumptuous! He's forgotten who promoted him to the position of Right Guard General!"
Wu Zetian was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
The armies in Luoyang City are all defensive forces. The Left and Right Jinwu Guards and the Left and Right Jianmen Guards are usually no match for the Right Wuwei Guards. There is a huge gap in military strength between the two sides.
Not to mention that the Right Jinwu Guard General Wu Yizong and the Right Jianmen Guard General Wu Sizong were both in the Inner Guard Palace prison. They could not command the Right Jinwu Guard and the Right Jianmen Guard. These two armies were useless under the leadership of the generals.
General Qiu Shenji of the Left Jinwu Guard was inside the gate of Taichu Palace, always on guard against the Right Wu Guard attacking the palace, and he was unable to split himself into two.
The left guard at the gate hasn't come to support yet, which can only mean one thing: the left guard has also encountered an irresistible force and has been stopped.
The Left and Right Imperial Guards were indeed strong, but tonight was such a mess, and the Left and Right Imperial Guards had not yet taken any action to rescue her, the emperor. It was obvious that the Left and Right Imperial Guards were not reliable at all.
These people were only loyal to the deposed Crown Prince Li Xian.
Now, the Bad People, led by Bad Commander Xu Ji, followed the Right Guard in a rebellion. The Inner Guard House could not count on Huang Shengyan, not to mention the Thousand Oxen Guard. There was no news from Huan Bin so far, so he must have met with the same accident as Wu Youning.
"I never thought that I could be forced to this extent in my own palace, right under my own feet."
Veins bulged on Wu Zetian's forehead.
She was so angry.
Li Bing dared to do this, and Li Jiao was able to follow him. The two pairs of enemies were able to become one. There was no need to think too much about who was behind this.
"Li Xian, you are so calculating!"
"The only thing I can't imagine is that Xu Ji is actually your man!"
It can be said that without Xu Ji tonight, it would be too difficult for Li Yan to enter the city.
If they wanted to block Taichu Palace before they could react, they had to enter the city quietly, and Xu Ji gave them the opportunity to do so.
"This heartless thing!"
Wu Zetian spat.
She was the one who promoted Xu Ji, and he did a lot of dirty work for her. She also gave Xu Ji enormous power, but she didn't expect that Xu Ji would betray her at this time.
"Li Bin hasn't attacked Taichu Palace yet?"
Wu Zetian frowned and soon realized that something was wrong.
If Li Xian led his troops to force her to abdicate and drive her off the throne, Li Xun would definitely attack Taichu Palace immediately. With the elite strength of the Right Guard Army, it would only take a quarter of an hour to kill all the soldiers guarding the gate.
If Li Yan fails to occupy the Taichu Palace Gate for more than a quarter of an hour, he should be replaced as the General of the Right Guard.
"It seems that they have no intention of attacking Taichu Palace yet. I must find out what these traitors are planning to do!"
"Lu Tong!"
"You must immediately go to the Taichu Palace Gate and, together with Qiu Shenji, ask these traitors what they are planning to do."
Lu Tong had a headache, but he didn't dare to resist. After bowing, he went out with a few subordinates and hurried to Zetian Gate.
Outside Zetian Gate, Li Bin led the Right Guard Army to block the entrance to and exit from Taichu Palace, and then stood with Li Jiao and Xu Ji, looking coldly at Qiu Shenji in the distance.
Qiu Shenji, who led thousands of troops, looked at the dense crowds of soldiers on the other side and had already thought of abandoning the army.
He didn't want to die. He was still in his prime and had many good days to live. He didn't want to die under Zetian in Taichu Palace. He wanted to live.
But Li Yan didn't give him a chance. Now he had no way to escape, and there was nowhere to go.
At this moment, Lu Tong hurried over and clasped his fists towards him.
"General, His Majesty has ordered you to inquire about what they are going to do."
Qiu Shenji was so afraid of death that he looked at the dozens of corpses outside Zetian's gate and shook his head hurriedly.
"If you want to go out, then go out. This great general won't go out. Just look at how many corpses are outside the Zetian Gate?"
"These people were the ones who wanted to get out in the first place, but they were shot straight away and couldn't even run away."
Lu Tong was helpless, but he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he had to bite the bullet and go out.
As soon as he arrived at the gate tower of Zetian Gate, he saw that in the flickering firelight, the archers of the Right Guard Army had already aimed at him. If he dared to take a few more steps out, he would be shot dead immediately.
"I'm still young, and I still have a chance to replace Qiu Shenji. I absolutely cannot be killed."
Lu Tong swallowed and stopped.
From dozens of meters away, Lu Tong shouted to Li Yan with difficulty:
"I, General Lu Tong of the Left Jinwu Guard, beg the General of the Right Wuwei Guard to come out and meet me!"
Li Xing chuckled, rode his horse forward a few meters, then raised his whip and pointed at Lu Tong.
"I am Li Xun, the General of the Right Guard!"
"What do you want to see me for?"
Lu Tong clasped his fists towards Li Yan, observing all etiquette.
"General, may I ask what your intention is in bringing troops into the capital at night and surrounding the imperial palace?"
"This is definitely not what you want to ask, right? This great general has always been a man of few words when it comes to his work. If Your Majesty wants to know, then please come and ask this great general yourself!"
"General, you have already committed a serious crime by surrounding the imperial palace..."
"My ancestors, Li Bin, have raised an army before. Why should I be afraid of committing a serious crime? I am just doing what my ancestors did at the beginning!" Li Bin was extremely domineering and directly brought up those ancestors.
Lu Tong was just a general, how could he compare to this noble descendant? He didn't dare to say another word. He quickly lowered his eyes, clasped his fists, and then retreated.
Soon, Qiu Shenji arrived at Qianyang Palace and told what had happened outside.
It was only after he entered the Qianyang Palace that the feeling of being on edge disappeared.
The relationship between him and the Li clan was extremely bad. It was he who killed Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian for the first time. Unfortunately, the other party's death was faked and he did not really kill Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian.
But this still made him notorious among the Li family, and there were many people who wanted to kill him.
"Your Majesty, Li Bin's actions are most likely to delay time and wait for something to end."
The clever Shangguan Wan'er quickly guessed Li Bin's intention from the little information she had learned.
"At this time, the only person who can make Li Bin willingly commit a serious crime and still enter the city is His Highness Li Xian."
"But, what exactly does His Highness Li Xian have to do to make him willingly block the Taichu Palace?"
Shangguan Wan'er analyzed and thought about what might happen.
Soon, she suddenly looked up and looked at Wu Zetian with horror.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Highness Li Xian..."
Wu Zetian seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes gradually became dull.
"Is he trying to take back the throne?"
"No, no, if he wants to take back the throne, he won't just let Li Bin block Taichu Palace, but will directly attack it."
"So what exactly is Li Xian going to do?"
"Li Xian, you really gave me a difficult problem!"
