The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 472 Reinforcement arrives

As for the other person, he had met him when he was discussing whether to send troops to suppress the country. Although he had never spoken to him, he had met him once. This person was guarding the north gate, because the imperial army was in the north. There are basically no rebels in the north, so he is the easiest among the four gates.

Changsun Ji bowed his hands to the prince and then nodded to the two of them.

The prince smiled lightly and waved his hands, signaling to his eldest grandson to avoid courtesy.Then he said: "Wencheng, you are here. If the guard at the gate of the palace didn't have an elm head, it wouldn't have delayed you for so long. If you are not relieved, you can kill that man after you leave." Make you more comfortable."

Changsun Ji raised his head and glanced at the prince, and saw that he had a sincere face, and there was no other meaning mixed in it at all.

Changsun Ji smiled, cupped his hands and said, "In the end, I can't blame him for this matter. He is just dedicated to his duty. After all, at this time, nothing is more important than His Highness's safety."

"Hehe, Wen Cheng can understand best." The prince said with a chuckle.

"I just received the news that the army is expected to reach the capital around tomorrow night. But this group of rebels just broke through the capital, and their morale is high. If the opponent wants to attack the palace with all their might, then we have an important battle ahead To fight." The prince said softly.

Changsun Ji frowned and did not speak. The reinforcements arrived sooner than he expected. This is a good thing, which means that their pressure will be reduced a lot. However, Changsun Ji understands that the distance will remain the same. If the prince told him before If the hiding place of the army is correct, then the crown prince had sent the news to the army before the anti-king gathered.

From this alone, we can see the prince's talent and boldness.You must know that if the prediction is slightly inaccurate, then all the preparations made before will be invalidated.

"Your Highness, it's not that I think highly of them, it's just the group of rebels, not to mention anything else, now that it's hard to break into the capital, it still cares about the palace, I guess I've been dazzled by the success long ago, I don't know what's going on Where to gather together." Shidi said to the prince, clasping his hands.

The prince nodded: "Although there is such a possibility, we have to guard against them not taking advantage of the victory to pursue."

After a slight pause, the prince looked at Changsun Ji again and said, "Wen Cheng, what do you think?"

"I agree with what His Highness said, the more successful we are, the more careful we should be, there is always no big mistake in being careful." Changsun Ji cupped his hands.

The prince looked at another person again, and saw that person nodded.Only then did he retract his gaze.

Afterwards, several people talked about how to defend the palace, and the meeting was completely over.

Changsun Ji left the study room. His task was not very heavy. He just turned the former city gate into a palace gate, and guarded the north gate. There were no rebels at the north gate, because the north was too remote. , even the rebels who originally attacked from the north also went around to other palace gates.

It's not that the north gate is a taboo, but because of the terrain in the north of the palace, it's basically impossible for anyone to come from the north.This is also the reason why he guards the north gate.

In this regard, Changsun Ji has nothing to complain about. He is not the kind of general who feels uncomfortable without a war. Without a war, he just happens to be at ease.

Although it was easy, Changsun Ji did not simply rest. He also sent people to inquire about the situation of the gates in the palace.

The result was as expected by Shi Diji, the group of rebels just surrounded the palace, thinking that the prince was already a turtle in the urn, and began to act unscrupulously in the capital.

Not only is it oppressing the people, but the rebels are also not stable with each other. The soldiers under the rebels from all walks of life rubbed against each other, and many conflicts occurred. If it weren't for the suppression of someone above, it would have developed into a large-scale battle.

The anti-kings from all walks of life felt that it was over for Dayan to attack the capital, and they led the army to attack a few times in the morning, but the soldiers under them were in a hurry to hang out, and there was no morale at all, and it had no effect at all.

In the afternoon, the rebels outside the palace cast a letter into the palace. It was a surrender letter, and it was written to the generals, asking them to catch the prince and open the palace gate. What crime, and will be promoted.The actions of the rebels made Changsun Ji feel a little ridiculous.

How could people like them who already knew the inside story think highly of this group of rebels who had died soon?

So after the letter was delivered to the palace, it arrived at the prince's desk in the first instant. After the prince saw it, he asked someone to send the letter to the group of rebels, asking them to give them some time to prepare.

Just like this without fighting, the group of rebels were dragged outside the palace by the prince for another day.

Today is the day when the reinforcements that the prince said will arrive, so from early in the morning, the people in the palace began to prepare for the counterattack, and they should attack the rebels from inside and outside.

Don't think that they don't have many soldiers in the palace, so it's good to be able to protect themselves, let alone attack the rebels.

However, as long as there are reinforcements surrounding this group of rebels, the morale of the rebels will plummet, and everyone will try to escape for their lives. Negative emotions will be magnified without limit.Originally two rebels could deal with a soldier, but by then dozens or hundreds of them may not be able to deal with a soldier.

The reinforcements had indeed arrived, and even Changsun Ji could hear the noise outside the palace if he stayed at the north gate.The subordinate wanted to go out to see the situation, but was reprimanded by Changsun Ji. Now it is time to close the net. If his negligence caused the rebels to rush into the palace, then his crime would be serious.

The prince is not the only important person in the palace, the concubines of Emperor Yan's harem, as well as the royal family's ancestral hall, etc., are all important places that cannot be mistaken. Once these people or things fall into the hands of the rebels , the prince and others must be a little bit wary, after all, there are not only military generals but also literati in the court.

The group of idle and boring literati will always be a group of people who like to buckle a little bit of faux pas and magnify it again and again, which makes people feel bored.

Needless to say, the suspense of victory in the battle is not much to say. When the army arrives in the capital, the rebels from all walks of life will directly become birds in the cage.

And because this group of rebels thought that there was no force in the country of Yan to fight against them, they didn't even close the city gates.

In the end, the delay in ending the war was longer than Chang Sun Ji had imagined. There were many rebels from all walks of life, and there were more people under their command. With so many people, it was naturally impossible to kill them all.
