Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

To the east of Chang'an City is Yanxing Gate.

The city gate was closed and still as quiet as usual. Rows of soldiers stood in the arrow stacks at the head of the city, holding torches and staring at the darkness outside the city. The heavy rain had soaked the armor of the soldiers. The icy chill of late autumn penetrated their bones like invisible steel needles.

The general on duty tonight at Yanxing Gate is Chang Kuan, the captain of Xuanwu Gate.

Chang Kuan was supposed to be guarding the Tai Chi Palace tonight, but he changed shifts with his colleagues.

The mobilization of the Forbidden Army is fluid, and it is also to prevent a certain general from taking root in one place and winning people's hearts.

At three o'clock in the morning, amid the rumbling thunderstorm, a rustling noise suddenly came from outside Yanxing Gate. The soldiers holding torches high at the top of the city looked stern and unconsciously clenched the spears and halberds in their hands. Just as they were about to raise their voices to ask questions, a steady sound of footsteps came from behind. The soldiers turned around and found that it was Chang Kuan, the top general guarding the city gate tonight. Behind him were a group of generals and personal guards, about dozens of people, so the soldiers hurriedly greetings

"Captain Chang, there are strange noises two miles outside the city. Should you lower the hanging basket and send two robes out of the city to investigate?"A fire chief held his fist and said.

Chang Kuan is the son of General Chang He of the Qianniu Guard. He is in his thirties and has an ordinary face. He has a smooth lower jaw, a black beard on his lips, small and narrow eyes, and his gaze is wandering.

When his father Chang He opened the Xuanwu Gate, he opened the door of hope for the Chang family.

Tonight, Chang Kuan will also open the city gate to continue the glory of the Chang family.

After hearing about the report, Chang Kuan calmly waved his hand:"There is no need to inquire. I have received the order from the Ministry of War before nightfall. There are troops and horses mobilized at Zuotun Guard tonight, led by Zhonglang General Li Anyan. We only need to defend the city, no need to ask any more questions."

The general looked at him suspiciously after hearing this. There was a big loophole in this statement. The mobilization of troops is a common thing. To make the Tang Dynasty an invincible army, the guards of the Tang Dynasty did not train their soldiers on the school field. A few blows of a spear and a few shouts of"kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill" are enough. Generals who know how to train troops often also train their soldiers to fight at night, attack camps, fight on horseback, etc. These are not surprising.

However, no matter what the training method is, , there is absolutely no reason to be so close to the city gate, and the Ministry of War's announcement cannot only inform the captain. Even if such a large army is passing outside the city for training, it should at least march with torches, or send people to the city. The soldiers from Toufu informed.

There are rules for everything, especially for the army. The rules are strict. Army drills also have strict rules. They cannot cross the thunder pool. Tonight, the army outside the city is less than two miles away from the city. If How much trouble will the leading general cause if he orders an attack on the city? No leading general would dare to do such a move unless... he really intends to rebel. The fire chief at the top of the city felt his heart sinking and hurriedly said:"Captain Chang , General Zuo Tunwei Li's move is against the rules. We must send people out of the city to investigate and report the matter to General Zuo Wuwei immediately.……"

Chang Kuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:"Why are you panicking? This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Who can't dare to rebel? Zuo Tunwei is just passing by the city. Are you still afraid of them attacking the city?"

The fire chief is obviously a very serious person. Hearing the words, the man said seriously:"Captain Chang, you can't say that. I believe they definitely don't have the courage to rebel, but they broke the rules. This matter must be reported to General Zuowuwei, otherwise everyone will If you follow suit, maybe one day someone will dare to rebel and attack the city.……"

A sharp look flashed across Chang Kuan's eyes, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

As Chang Kuan smiled, the generals and guards behind him also made moves. Everyone pretended to observe the movement outside the city and spread out, gradually approaching the arrow stack. Unknowingly, everyone was standing on their own. Beside the soldiers guarding the city in the arrow stack

"The fire chief insisted on reporting the matter to the general, did he feel that the general could not bear the matter? Chang Kuan said with a sneer.

"The last general will not dare to do so. It is just that his duty and the safety of the capital are at stake. The last general will not dare to show favoritism.……"

Just in the middle of speaking, the fire chief suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ribs. He lowered his head suddenly and found a dagger stuck in his abdomen. The dagger was inserted so deep that the blade surface could no longer be seen, and only the handle was exposed. , vibrating with his own breathing.

The fire chief raised his head and looked at Chang Kuan in disbelief. He opened his lips and was about to use up his last strength to shout, but Chang Kuan covered his mouth. At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city in front and behind the fire chief also began to shout. With a muffled groan, one by one fell to the ground weakly. After a while, all those still standing on the top of the city were Chang Kuan's confidants.

Looking at the corpses and blood on the ground at the top of the city, Chang Kuan had no expression on his face, looking towards the dark outside the city, and waved to the general.

"He waved the torch to tell General Li that Yanxing Gate had been captured, and opened the city gate for him after an hour of burning incense."

At midnight, at Yanxing Gate, the city guard Chang Kuan purged his subordinates. Those who did not want to be attached were killed on the spot. In less than a stick of incense, all the soldiers on top of Yanxing Gate were replaced by Chang Kuan's soldiers. There were many close friends, but the horse road at the head of the city was full of corpses.

In the pouring night, Li Anyan led more than 6,000 elite Zuotun guards into the city quietly. The air under the city gate was filled with a faint smell of blood, and Li Anyan was riding a horse. Unaware, Li Anyan looked up at the raindrops falling suddenly in the sky, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Six thousand elite soldiers entered the city, and tonight's unexpected surprise attack will definitely create a legend of being outnumbered, no less than that of the past. Xuanwumen.

After supporting Prince Li Chengqian on the throne, what kind of wealth and splendor will he be like in the future? Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji...these high-ranking and famous generals in the world had to lower their noble heads in front of him.

Conglong's merits, It was no worse than opening up new territories, and even gained the trust and favor of the emperor. There was more than one way to climb to the top. Li Anyan chose a faster and easier way. Once he succeeded, he became a highly respected minister.

"After entering the city, they lined up and waited for a fire to start in the camp of the guards led by the prince Zuo in the city, and then launched an attack on the left and right military guards."Li Anyan issued the military order coldly.
