Chapter 404 Wind sweeping the remaining clouds (IV)

People often pay attention to fate. Some people are together every day but you don’t like it no matter how you see it. Some people can never forget it after just seeing it once. This kind of fate is something that no one can tell. Wu and Lin are both wise men, but wise men are also human beings. Although they are more rational, they are still ordinary people after all, so there is always someone’s feelings. They know Yinzuo’s sons, Wu and Lin. Although they have never talked about these princes, they have never publicly expressed their support for any prince, but they are very clear between each other-Wu Sidao likes Hongli more, while Lin Xuanyi values ​​promotion more. This is a matter of fate, and something that cannot be explained clearly.

But feelings are feelings. As the top wise man today, Wu and Lin will never do it when making decisions, and they dare not take into account their own feelings. After all, what kind of person Yinzuo is Wu, Lin both know that they are decisive in killing and have broad minds, but their methods are very savvy. In addition, they are smart enough, such a monarch is the worst person to serve. Without Yinzuo's permission, they will participate in the dispute between the Tian family. There will definitely be no good result.

"Hongli, since you know that this military newspaper is fraud, what do you plan to do?" Wu Sidao was silent for a long time. Seeing that the people in the room were not speaking, he sighed in his heart and asked.

Hongli smiled harmlessly and said, "When you say Mr. Wu, your nephew will do nothing unless it is Uncle Thirteen or the two gentlemen have otherwise explained it."

Hongli's words sound simple, but they are very rich in content: first of all, we need to tell everyone that he already knows that this is a trap, a trap against Prince Lian Yunsi; secondly, it means that he will never interfere in this matter; thirdly, it means that if he is necessary to cooperate, he will definitely play with all his strength. Everyone present is meticulous. Although Hongli's words are beautiful, they can't hide them from everyone. No one dares to make decisions whether Hongli should come out to act. As soon as Hongli said this, the study room immediately became quiet, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"Well, Hongli, you don't have to worry about the matter outside the palace. Rumors will arise in the capital tomorrow. It is inevitable that those who are interested will pass the words into the palace. It doesn't matter if the other people are. In short, you can't bother the empress dowager. You can make your own decisions." Yunxiang is the head of the matter. Seeing that everyone is not talking and just stalemate is not a solution, so he had to find something to let Hongli do it. It can be said that there is an explanation.

"Yes, my nephew understands that it's getting late, so I'm leaving. Uncle Thirteen, two gentlemen, stay." Hongli smiled lightly, bowed and gave a greeting, turned around and left the study room, accompanied by Yunxiang out of the palace, and returned to the palace by himself.

"Two gentlemen, I'm not right about the matter of the eldest prince?" After Yunxiang sent Hongli, he returned to the study to see Wu. Both the two advisers of Lin sat without saying a word, and asked a little guiltyly.

Wu and Lin had no contact to talk about this. After looking at each other, Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Prince, the plan should start. There will be chaos tomorrow. What should be prepared for you should do early."

When Yunxiang saw Wu and Lin, they knew that these two great strategists would never show interest in the prince in front of others. They felt a little guilty in their hearts, but they couldn't continue asking, so they had to shake their heads, smiled bitterly, and took a seat on their own, put forward the whole plan again, and the four of them discussed in detail...

Rumors are demons with wings, and the spread is always amazingly fast. The military report arrived at three o'clock. The Ministry of War had already ordered the blockade of the news, but the content of the military newspaper had already spread all over the streets. It was less than three o'clock. The restaurants and the gangs of Zixian in the streets and alleys had already been discussed, and dozens of versions were released. They all appeared vividly, with noses and eyes, as if everyone had witnessed the war with their own eyes, and there were all kinds of rumors. There were even news that the emperor was arrested and beheaded, so the word "chaotic".

In the past, there were always traffic and the guests were everywhere. Today, there was no anger in Prince Lian's mansion. All the court officials who came to visit received a message that Prince Lian was sick and would not be guests. This seemed to be a coincidence. After all, Yunsi had a big banquet for guests yesterday, and he was dealing with all kinds of people like a pearl. Why did he get sick one day? However, it is common for people to have three diseases and six disasters, and no one has any bad ideas. The court officials who came to visit or came to fight for Qiufeng had to take advantage of the opportunity to come and leave.

At this moment, Yunsi, who was "ill" with a sick blush on his face, was walking back and forth in the secret room of his royal palace excitedly, waiting anxiously for the arrival of military advisor Wen Ruihe. Yunsi did not want to fail, and he could not afford to lose. After the defeat, he could only be at the mercy of others, so he could only be careful. In order to keep it a secret, his action plan did not even tell those "confident subordinates". Only the real participants knew some of the details. As for the overall plan, only he and Wen Ruihe could know. Whether it could be successful in the end depends on whether Wen Ruihe's actions tonight was smooth. Therefore, Yunsi was anxious but could not do anything. He could only wait for the judgment of fate.

"Prince." Wen Ruihe's cry interrupted Yunsi's random thoughts.

"Oh, sir is back. I'm tired. I'll sit down first, have a tea, and take a break before talking." Yunsi was anxious, but he still calmed down and expressed his concern for Wen Ruihe.

"Thank you for your concern." Wen Ruihe fell down and smiled, "Wen's trip is considered a mission. They agreed not to interfere with the prince's actions, but they would not come forward to help. The condition is that the prince must take the Eight Banners first and do not move the Eight Banners business without any action. In addition, the firearm must be controlled by the Eight Banners alone. Well, I hope that some of the shares in the Eight Banners business that originally belonged to Sixth Master can be taken out to allocate them to everyone." Wen Ruihe shook the fan lightly and said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Yunsi murmured: "As long as they don't move around, I will have 80% chance of winning in the capital. If I succeed, Mr. Wen will be my number one hero."

"Your Majesty, don't be careless. The Thirteenth Master and the eldest prince are not so easy to fool. The Fourth Master is also watching from the side. All of this will be decided until tomorrow." Wen Ruihe hurriedly reminded Yunsi when he saw that he was a little disobedient.

"Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. Wen said is extremely true. Now is not the time to relax. I know this in my mind." Yunsi calmed down and said calmly: "Will there be a problem on the other end of the Nine Gate Admiral's Office?"

"Well, the three gates of Chongwen Gate, Xizhi Gate, and Desheng Gate have now completely fallen into our hands; Anding Gate and Zhengyang Gate also have nearly half of the generals of the generals, and the people sent by the Qiancheng Gate can be considered to be barely controlled; Xuanwu Gate, Fucheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, and Chaoyang Gate also have princes. Although they cannot control the situation, they can still make some troubles. As long as these four gates do not move, we will attack the palace with all the strength of the three gates. It will not be too difficult to take down the Shanpu Camp. As long as the imperial city is controlled, the major matter will be decided. Among them, Chongwen Gate is the key. Although Liangcheng has agreed to cooperate with the prince, Pu Heng is still a little uncertain about this person. Well, it will be better to get rid of this person first depending on the opportunity tomorrow, so as to save too many dreams." Wen Ruihe pulled his finger and calculating.

"Okay, tomorrow morning is the day of collegial discussion. As the minister of the Shangshu, I will go to collegial discussion. Now that rumors have arisen, the Nine Gate curfew is imperative. Then I will be ordered to kill Liangcheng first." Yunsi said gritting his teeth.

"Well, I think it's possible." Wen Ruihe took out a map of the capital from the chair beside him, and pointed at the action plan on the map and whispered to Yunsi...

At noon on April 12, Yuanzhuo, a strange war scene appeared on the prairie in the west reincarnation - the Russian military formation continued to advance with its guns, and the Qing cavalry kept retreating. Whenever the Russian army approached to the point of attack, the Qing cavalry would retreat for a distance, but they refused to retreat, nor did they launch a desperate charge. The two sides seemed to be performing a pantomime tacitly, and they just moved forward and retreated. At about three o'clock, the Russian army marching rapidly rushed to the vicinity of the meadow. At this time, the Qing cavalry seemed to stop unbearable. They no longer used a loose retreat formation, but arranged a triangular array of vanguards that were about to take the attack, as if they were going to fight to the death.

"Well, are you going to seek death? That's great, I will do it for you." Major General Bukrusky looked at the Qing cavalry formation arranged in the distance, looked at the map in his hand, shrugged, and cursed with a smile, turned to the messenger and said, "Go, inform Colonel Chuliusky to prepare for attack, and rushed forward immediately when the cannon sounded, and drove away the annoying flies."

"Yes, general." The messenger who received the order saluted the military and rode his horse and rushed towards the Cossack cavalry cluster on the flank of the Russian army.

The Russian military formation stopped 150 feet away in front of the Qing cavalry array. The artillery regiment busy dragging more than a dozen cannons out of the middle of the queue and placed them in front of the Russian military formation. After a long time of busyness, an artillery major waved his command knife and ordered loudly: "Fire the cannon!" In an instant, more than ten artillery shells roared towards the direction of the Qing cavalry array, but did not hit the Qing army array lined up in dense queues. Only one of the missing bombs exploded several meters in front of the Qing army formation. The flying soil and gravel and the roar of explosion shocked the war horses under the Qing army seats to move in a mess. The originally neat queue was in chaos for a while.

"Cossack attack!" Colonel Chuliusky saw that the Qing army was in chaos. Seeing that the time had come, he waved his saber in his hand and issued a loud attack order. He rushed towards the Qing cavalry first. More than 500 Cossack cavalry also shouted "Ula" and rushed up. At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, the acting leader of the First Guards Regiment, rode on the horse and issued an attack order at the same time. The Russian First Regiment lined up in an order of three square formations to move forward. The artillery continued to fire and used artillery fire to give favorable support to its attacking troops.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the Qing cavalry could no longer maintain its formation and became a mess. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ada raised the saber in his hand and shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" The Qing army, who was in a mess, left more than a dozen bodies, followed Ada in a mess and fled to Kalamari Mountain in a desperate situation. Behind were the Cossack cavalry who were chasing him and the Russian army brigades that followed him.

Here comes, finally! Yinzuo stood on the hillside with a monocular telescope to observe the people rolling in the distance. The strings that were always tense in his heart finally relaxed a little. After estimating the time, he called out: "Wang Changtai."

"I'm here!" Wang Changtai, who was standing behind Yinzuo, hurriedly walked up, beat a thousand and said loudly.

"Order the troops to enter a combat state. This battle cannot be missed. If the Russians break out, I will take your head to sacrifice to the flag." Yinzuo ordered calmly.

"Zhe!" Wang Changtai responded loudly, got up and ran to the group of generals, and quickly issued a series of combat orders. After receiving the orders, the heads of each department rushed down the hillside and returned to the army to work hard to prepare for the battle.

"Master, it's dangerous here. Master should come first and avoid it. I'll leave it to me. I'll swear that I won't let the old men rush up this mountain." Wang Changtai saw Yinzuo standing tall on the top of the mountain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and advised him.

"I won't go anywhere, right here. I want to watch my soldiers kill the enemy. If the Russians can rush up this mountain, hey, there is no need to fight this battle." Yinzuo laughed and waved his hands and said, "I believe that my warriors will not let the enemy break through the blockade line to attack this place, so don't worry."

"This..." Wang Changtai followed Yinzuo for many years, and naturally understood Yinzuo's personality. He knew that once Yinzuo decided, he would never change it, and he did not dare to persuade him. He had to secretly find more than a dozen internal guards, whispered to him before running back to his own position to command the battle...
