Soon, Shang Xijie couldn't laugh, and the military reports came back one after another, although the small forces of the Shenwu army would not pose a fatal threat to Chang'an City, but they successively burned down several grain and grass warehouses set up by the Tubo army outside the city.

After Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie entered Chang'an, he summed up the losses that Sun Xiaozhe had suffered, and paid special attention to the problem of grain and grass, he did not even dare to hoard all the grain and grass in one place, but broke it into pieces and stored them in various places in Gyeonggi, even if one of them was burned, the other place was still intact.

However, the small group of people and horses of the Shenwu Army who attacked and harassed were able to touch the warehouse where the grain and grass were stored so accurately and burned several places in a row, which had to be a headache.

"Look at it, this is the Shenwu Army that you deeply despise, if you can't get rid of these potential threats as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will bring endless trouble. ”

In the face of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's warning, Shang Xijie patted his chest and promised.

"Please rest assured, isn't it just a small army of thousands of Shenwu Army? I will personally lead an army early tomorrow morning and kill them cleanly. ”

Ma Xiang Chung Bajie warned him again:

"Don't underestimate the Shenwu Army, when I was an envoy in Chang'an, I also saw their military might, which is very different from the ordinary Tang Dynasty border army, and the head of the Shenwu Army, Qin Jin, often acts unexpectedly. ”

Resigned from Xingqing Palace, Shang Xijie personally rushed to the camp outside the city, and personally ordered 5,000 horse troops, which are the most elite iron cavalry in Tubo, and they are often invincible on the battlefield, and there are few opponents. He is very confident that as long as he makes a move tomorrow, he will definitely be able to catch him.

Before dawn, the five thousand Tibetan iron horsemen followed the tracks found by the horses, and when they arrived near Xinfeng, they really caught up with a Shenwu army with a size of at least a thousand. This Shenwu army is actually swaggering to attack Xinfeng County.

The counterattack from the county was very weak, and the sporadic arrows almost did no decent damage to the Shenwu Army, no wonder the other party was so arrogant. Shang was furious when he learned of the retribution, and ordered the whole army to advance at full speed to eliminate this rampant Shenwu army under Xinfeng County as soon as possible.

However, after only half an hour's effort, when Shang Xijie chased to Xinfeng City, the Shenwu Army had already fled.

The Xinfeng County Commander, appointed by the Yongtai Imperial Court, stood tremblingly in front of Shang Xijie's horse, and he did not know how the Fan Hu general in front of him would punish him. Unexpectedly, Shang Xijie actually praised him a few words.

"You have done a good job, keep Xinfeng County, a great achievement!"

The Xinfeng county order breathed a sigh of relief, but Shang Xijie suddenly changed his face, pulled out the saber on his waist, and slashed it diagonally, only to hear a miserable scream, and the county order that was originally good had been split into two obliquely.

"Let go of the Shenwu Army, it must be the two ends of the first rat, intentionally conforming to the Shenwu Army, such villains deserve death!"

After that, Shang Xijie raised the bloody saber and pointed at the county magistrate who was already frightened behind him.

"You, temporarily in charge of the county command!"

After a small episode, Shang Xijie continued to pursue south, and after the Shenwu army left Xinfeng, they made a detour to Lishan. It seems that he intends to go to Lantian. Lantian is the key point to hold the southern part of Chang'an, Lantian Pass leads directly to the east of Shannan, if there are Tang Dynasty reinforcements from here into Guanzhong, even if it is difficult to have a large scale because of the rugged mountain road, it is also a big trouble for them.

Lantian Qingniyi, Shang Xijie was ambushed, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, and he lost hundreds of elite iron horsemen in the blink of an eye. However, although he was angry, he understood that as long as the Shenwu Army was willing to stop and engage in the battle, it would be their destruction.

It's a pity that Shang Xijie's plan fell through once again, and the Shenwu Army only carried out a round of ambushes, and then hurriedly fled south. This time, he didn't care about the horsepower, and ordered a wild chase, and when he saw that he was about to catch up, he suddenly felt the earth tremble. Loud noises came and went, and thick clouds of smoke rose up, quickly obscuring the view. In addition, the sorrow of the war horses and the miserable howls of injuries pushed Shang Xijie's anger to a new peak.

However, there is another point that makes Shang Xijie furious from the bottom of his heart: What kind of method did the Shenwu Army use to make such a big move? Many of the generals accompanying him discussed in private, saying that this was because the Shenwu Army had invited the power of ghosts and gods.

As soon as the words of ghosts and gods came out, the morale of the whole army, which was originally full, gradually dispersed. Shang Xijie was shocked and angry, but found that the opponent he faced had been difficult to see. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, in order to avoid being secretly ambushed by the Shenwu Army again, he immediately decided to enter Lantian Pass, relying on Guancheng to explore in detail the details of this Shenwu army that was attacking everywhere.

After a simple count, the number of dead and wounded was not large, and there were only two or three hundred people who were hit by arrows, and most of them were slightly wounded. What was more troublesome to him than the minor injuries was the bad impact on the morale of the army after the spread of the theory of ghosts and gods was irreversible in three or two days.

In the day when Shang Xijie was dealing with the Shenwu Army, Chang'an City was also quietly changing. Li Guangbi single-handedly broke into Jingzhao Mansion and snatched the real power of Jingzhao Mansion from Yu Chaoen.

And the reason why Yu Chaoen obediently handed over the power of Jingzhao Mansion in his hand was not because Li Guangbi had Li Chenghong's edict in his hands, but because of the real ruler in Chang'an City, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie.

Li Guangbi pulled the banner of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie to make a tiger skin, Yu Chaoen was skeptical, but he didn't dare to turn his face easily, because he knew that although he controlled the Shence Army and could be powerful in front of the ministers and clans of the Tang Dynasty, he was not a fart in front of the Tubo minister who covered the sky with one hand.

Moreover, Li Guangbi's attitude is calm and calm, if it is not for someone behind his back, how can this person be so bold and reckless?

It is based on the above considerations that Yu Chaoen decided to settle the matter, and if he compromised to show his tame to Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, this would not be a retreat. However, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, even if he willingly bows his head to the Tubo minister, he will never take Li Chenghong, the emperor of the fox and the tiger, in his eyes.

In other words, Yu Chaoen must test how much this matter has to do with Li Chenghong, and what if Li Chenghong deliberately did it behind Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's back?

That night, Yu Chaoen appeared in Li Chenghong's "palace room" in the Ten Princes' Mansion. This frightened Li Chenghong, even if he was a fool, he understood that this was Yu Chaoen asking him to ask for guilt.

"No, I don't see, just say I'm asleep, let him come back tomorrow!"

Du Qianyun, who had never left or right, immediately spoke out to stop him.

"Your Majesty, if you avoid it, it will make him feel that Your Majesty is weak!"

Li Chenghong habitually spread his hands and sighed again and again:

"What should I do then? Could it be that the gentleman watched him come to Xingshi to ask for his guilt, and let me see that he was not humiliating himself?"

Du Qianyun Road:

"Your Majesty only needs to mention Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie in everything, and Yu Chaoen will inevitably throw a mouse bogey!"

This metaphor is very inappropriate, comparing the Son of Heaven to a mouse is really a big rebellion, but at this juncture, Li Chenghong has long been panicked, where can he still care about these verbal faux pas?

"If the eunuch wants to use force, how can I protect myself?"

Li Chenghong was still not at ease, and stammered and asked.

"That's also simple, there are villains' personal retinue outside the hall, they are all warriors who can fight one against ten, let them serve in the palace, and they will be able to keep Your Majesty safe!"

Lee Seung-hong was overjoyed:

"Please, two warriors!"

Soon, the two middle-sized men were led into the palace by the eunuchs, and Li Chenghong couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw this, which was still a big gap with the warriors he imagined. Being tall and burly is a necessity, and the two people in front of them are too ordinary, and if they are placed in the crowd, they will hardly be conspicuous.

Li Chenghong pointed at them and looked at Du Qianyun suspiciously.

"Just, just them?"

Du Qianyun nodded happily, indicating that they were the warriors who could protect their safety. Li Chenghong immediately regretted it again and said:

"I, I still don't see the eunuch, let her come back tomorrow......"

"Your Majesty is so timid, looking forward and looking backwards, do you still want to achieve great things......?

Seeing that Du Gan was about to leave, Li Chenghong finally agreed ruthlessly.

"Okay, I'll take a gamble, and I'll listen to Mr. Arrange!"

Sure enough, Yu Chaoen entered the hall angrily, and made insulting remarks on the spot, and Xingshi asked for guilt.

If Your Majesty does not give a reasonable explanation today, I am afraid that Yu will be convinced, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shence Army may not agree!"

is so aggressive, if Du Qianyun is not on the side, Li Chenghong is afraid that he will be frightened on the spot. He secretly glanced at Du Qianyun, and saw that he was drooping his eyes indifferently, as if he was thinking about something, so his heart settled down a little.

"Why did Yu Qing say this? If it weren't for the Prime Minister's strong order, I, I would have been eager to add an official to Yu Qing!"

Yu Chaoen looked arrogant, laughed three times and scolded:

"Fart! If Your Majesty really thinks about Yu, how can you have the act of falling into the well today?"

"This, this, please don't be impatient, listen to me slowly, explain to you slowly......"

Yu Chaoen didn't take Li Chenghong, the so-called son of heaven, in his eyes at all, and said angrily:

"If Your Majesty takes back the edict, then it's enough, otherwise it will ......."

Saying that, Yu Chaoen stepped forward with a gesture, and actually scared Li Chenghong so much that he involuntarily retreated, and he fell on his back without asking, and he was extremely embarrassed. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Du Qianyun roared sharply:

"Yu Chaoen intends to stab the samurai, left and right the samurai, and does not escort the thief!"

Before the words fell, the two seemingly inconspicuous entourages suddenly burst out and pounced on Yu Chaoen, one hugging his waist, the other locking his throat, only the lightning and the fire, and he heard Yu Chaoen's strange howl, and the whole person was like a broken cotton wool withered to the ground.

When Li Chenghong got up, he was shocked, and when he saw Yu Chaoen standing on the ground in a strange posture, he subconsciously went to probe his snort, and then sat down on the ground in despair, muttering in his mouth:

"Why did you die? Why did you die? But how do you explain to the prime minister......
