Chapter 297: Soldiers are coming to the city

"Woo, woo, woo!" The long horn faintly came outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an, Li Yuan led Li Tang Junchen stared into the distance on the city tower, only to see a long black line emerging on the line of heaven and earth, embroidered with the word 'Sui' red Daxu, like the emperor in the world, followed by Daxu is a large endless forest of halberds, that piece of cold forest and cold blade, almost want to reflect the cold dark and dull sky.

Hundreds of thousands of Sui troops gathered into an endless wave, and under the guidance of the red da, rolling forward, its forward sharps were about to enter the range of the Tang army's bed crossbows, but the rear army was still rising endlessly from behind.

Ten troops suddenly changed formations, neatly gathered outside the Mingde Gate, the change was sudden, the military appearance was neat, the 100,000 army did not make an abnormal sound, there was no noise, rigorous formation, one by one, is a straight straight line.

The prosperous military appearance and high morale shocked Li Tangjunchen and the soldiers defending the city on the city tower.

Behind the word 'Sui' is a spacious passage, at this time, a burst of rapid horses' hooves sounded, only to see 5,000 knights wearing bright light armor, appeared at the end of the passage, stretching for at least a few miles, as if with a cold to the extreme Huang Huang momentum, full of a hundred battles and a hundred victories of extraordinary arrogance. They are like a sea of blood, with a strong killing aura from far and near, shocking people's hearts.

The first person, riding a snow-white peerless horse, holding a horse lance, the ancient well Bubo Junlang's face exudes a calm temperament, even if he rides on the war horse, the waist is still straight, like a sheathed war knife, straight into the sky.

"Yang Tong is here."

Li Jiancheng licked his chapped lips, and a strange bitterness appeared in his heart.

The rapid sound of war drums suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the 100,000 Sui troops suddenly spoke in unison: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Great Sui is a thousand years old!" ”

100,000 soldiers roared in unison without warning, shaking the heavens and the earth, mighty and majestic, full of killing aura, only its might made people have a domineering momentum that could not compete with it.

"You have two choices! 1. Fight to the death, the city will be destroyed; Second, get out of Daxing Palace, get out of Chang'an, get out of Guanzhong, I have a few requirements for the second option. ”

Yang Tong stared at the crowd at the head of the city, and said coldly: "I only say it once, but no matter which one is violated, there are no exceptions, and there is no next time, and there will be no mercy." ”

"From now on, until noon tomorrow, it is the time for you to get out of Chang'an, during this period, someone damages Daxing Palace, Chang'an, every grass and tree, and civil and military officials above the fifth grade will be punished by the nine clans."

"Those who harass and plunder the people, civil and military officials above the fifth grade, punish the nine clans!"

……

"The gold, silver, treasures, money, and grain in the Daxing Palace, Taicang, Zuozang, Guancang, Official Residence, and the Puppet Tang Dynasty Officials' Mansion are all owned by the Great Sui, and no one is allowed to take them away. Remember, it's anyone, violators, behead! ”

"Within the specified time, the pseudo-Tang Wupin officials dare to stay and not leave, behead!"

"Heavenly soldiers enter the city, those who dare to resist, behead!"

"Provoke the Heavenly Soldiers, slash!"

"Whoever disobeys the order, slash!"

“…… Chop! ”

“… Chop! ”

"Slash!"

……

A series of nine clans, a series of slashes, after the retelling of the five thousand Xuanjia army, the 100,000 army should be peaceful, and the murderous atmosphere is so fierce that the whole city can be heard!

Yang Tong himself also became murderous with these words!

Every man in the city was taken away from him, lost in fear and horror.

The timid person was even more frightened, took a few steps back, collided with the person behind him, and fell to the ground.

In front of Mingde Gate, Yang Tong's words kept coming.

"The terms and conditions are now in effect! Of course, if you have the courage to fight with my Great Sui, you don't have to obey it. Anyway, my Great Sui soldiers are still not happy to kill! Yang Dong said solemnly.

"Nonsense! I won't promise you! ”

Li Yuan was so angry that he wanted to 'transfer strategy', but he wanted to quietly take the family, Li Tang Wenwu, and leave with the treasures of Daxing Palace, but now he was yelled at by the 100,000 generals of the Sui army, and if he really left, it would really hurt the dignity of Emperor Li Tang.

He pointed at Yang Tong and shouted, "Give me an arrow and shoot this bastard thing." ”

"Hum~"

The city was full of arrows, a rain of arrows fell, and the Sui army retreated one after another, without any chaos.

Yang Tong took off the thunder bow, pulled out a big arrow, and aimed at Li Yuan with the bow, the guards at the head of the city were so frightened that they used shields to protect Li Yuan, Yang Tong's bow and arrow were raised upward, the sharp arrow came out of the string, nailed to the flagpole, the sharp arrow of the rope was broken, and Li Tang's Turkic-style white flag fell from the city to the outside of the city in an exclamation.

"Let's go!"

Yang Tong turned his horse's head and walked slowly south.

Luo Shixin waved his hand, and a Xuanjia soldier put a special arrow with a rope at the white flag, and the other end of the rope was tied to the saddle, and the arrow pierced the white flag.

More than 100,000 Sui troops came and left in this way, in full view of Li Tangjun's ministers.

Li Xiaogong, who took over the task of defending the city, did not receive Li Yuan's order to attack, and did not dare to act rashly, many defenders at the head of the city watched the Sui army go away, and countless people's eyes glanced at the national flag that was dragged to the ground, and then looked at Li Yuan!

The prestige of the Sui army has been deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone like a brand. And Yang Tong's domineering declaration and the last arrow have left a heavy shadow and fear in everyone's hearts.

Li Tang's civil and military officials had palpitations, and they all secretly thought again: The Sui Dynasty aims to establish its authority today, and it is so terrifying just a passing scene, wouldn't it be even more terrifying to be killed with a real knife? 150,000 miscellaneous soldiers, isn't it the opponent of such a tiger and wolf army?

Li Yuan was indignant in his heart, he roared, grabbed the crown on his head and fell to the ground.

With a 'snap', the crown beam was broken into three pieces, and the pearls and jade on the crown splashed everywhere, which frightened many civil and military officers into silence, and they didn't dare to move like statues.

Li Yuan was so hateful that his heart was dripping blood, and he smashed his fist into the battlements, his hands were dripping with blood, and everyone was so frightened that they persuaded each other. Li Yuan gritted his teeth at everyone and said, "Today's great shame, when will it snow?" ”

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that he should send someone to talk to Yang Tong and try to gain a little time." Liu Wenjing sighed, said and gave Li Jiancheng a look.

Li Jiancheng got Liu Wenjing's eyes, and asked for help knowingly: "Father, son, please negotiate with Yang Tong on behalf of the Tang Dynasty." ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, Chen Shuda objected: "It's not proper, Your Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you can't risk yourself, and Weichen is willing to do it." ”

"Thank you Chen Xiangguo for your concern." Li Jiancheng smiled gratefully and said: "It's just that the national disaster is at hand, and I should take on the responsibility of the prince, and I am really not willing to wait for news in Chang'an." According to the principle of reciprocity, you should also talk to me and Yang Tong. As for the danger, there is no need to worry, Yang Tong is the dignified King of Qin, and he will not do anything to harm the envoy. ”

Li Yuan had gradually calmed down at this time, he knew that it was of course possible to fight to the death, but that was based on the premise of equal strength, or there were huge benefits. At this time, if you stick to Chang'an, this is not your life or death, but a stupid move of an egg hitting a stone.

It's just that he also feels quite strange.

Today's situation is quite obvious, the Li Tang Dynasty will definitely not be able to defeat Yang Tong, and Chang'an will naturally not be able to hold it, if he Li Yuan and Yang Dong change places, they will definitely take advantage of his illness to kill him, but Yang Tong is in a situation where he must win, and he just gave them a way to live, which is really a strange thing.

Could there be some conspiracy here?

Could it be that they were coaxed out of Chang'an and robbed the road halfway? So as to obtain a complete Chang'an City?

If he went out of the city stupidly, the demoralized Tang army was not enough for the powerful Sui army to charge, and Li Yuan really didn't dare to go out of Chang'an City until he couldn't figure out Yang Dong's attitude.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was reasonable, he was also a little inclined to let the prince negotiate, and finally showed a smile on his face, and nodded, "Okay, good!" The prince not only has the style of an elder, but also full of courage. On behalf of Datang, I went to Sui Ying. ”

"The retainers obey!" Li Jiancheng replied in a deep voice.

Li Yuan immediately made a decision, with the crown prince Li Jiancheng as the main envoy, Xiao Yu as the deputy envoy, and Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun County, led a thousand yuan from the forbidden army to escort them to negotiate with Yang Tong.

Take advantage of the gap between soldiers!

Li Jiancheng found Liu Wenjing and couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Liu Gong, you let me take over this position, I don't know what your intentions are?" My father was deeply shocked, and he looked like he was in a state of collapse, and at this critical time, I was really not suitable to leave Chang'an. I think Chen Xiangguo and Xiao Xiangguo are the best candidates. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't underestimate this mission!" Liu Wenjing said cautiously: "Your Highness doesn't want the position of the prince to be threatened, and if you want to ascend to the throne safely, you must get the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, and only in this way can you prevent the dispute between the two sons in my Tang Dynasty again." ”

"Gong Liu, what do you mean by this?" Li Jiancheng frowned.

"King Jin is a generation of heroes, capable and ambitious, the reason why he has repeatedly failed is because the saint did not let go of the rope in his hand, which made his military talent not be brought into play, and he was tied up in war! To some extent, King Jin was not defeated by the enemy, but by the hands of the saints! ”

After Liu Wenjing said a word, he said solemnly: "And my Datang suffered this fiasco, and it is very likely that the Holy Lord will reflect on his mistakes because of this." With the importance he attaches to King Jin, King Jin will definitely be able to regain military power, and once he can let go of his hands and feet to fight, Xiao Mo and his ilk will not be his opponent at all. When the time comes, he will surely shine brightly. ”

"Nowadays, the Manchu Dynasty has nothing to do with the civil and military, and the people are panicking, as the prince, His Royal Highness, should show the responsibility that the prince should have. With the foil of the fiasco of King Jin, even if His Royal Highness wins three days, one day, and half a day, it will be a great success, which is good for consolidating the position of the crown prince. ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized and said gratefully: "What Liu Gong said is extremely true, if it weren't for Liu Gong's reminder, I would have almost missed the opportunity......"

"This is what Wechen should do."

"Gong Liu!" Li Jiancheng paused for a moment, and said a little discouragedly: "Yang Tong is very smart, do you think my Datang will make a comeback one day?" ”

Liu Wenjing shook his head and said seriously: "Does Your Highness think Yang Tong is smart?" ”

"After the Jiangdu Rebellion, I feel that the Sui Dynasty has died, because although Yang Tong is the grandson of Emperor Wu of Sui, he has not inherited even a single thing from the old Sui. If he hadn't continued to follow the name of the Sui Dynasty, he would be no different from the princes of the world. He is not like my Tang Dynasty, the support of the Long nobles, he has created today's great foundation with his own strength, isn't such a person smart? ”

"Your Highness is wrong!" Liu Wenjing sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, Yang Tong is not smart at all, he can't govern the country and can't be handsome...... What's even more deadly is that he is like a stunned young man, and he is actually an enemy of the world's big families. The only thing that is commendable is the literary talent and the bravery that dominates the world, however, neither the literary nor the brave is the standard for measuring a king. ”

"Isn't that weird?" Li Jiancheng is very curious, if according to Liu Wenjing, Yang Tong is simply a good-for-nothing person, however, such a person is unstoppable.

"He can't govern the country, and there are Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Liu Zhenghui to help him govern the country; Wu can't be handsome, there are Wei Yunqi, Pei Renji, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong, Duan Decao, these famous generals paid silently, just take the battle of Guanzhong in front of him, the biggest credit is Li Jing, who contained the hundreds of thousands of troops of the King of Jin, with Li Jing, Yang Tong can show off his power in Guanzhong. However, how many people in the world understand Li Jing's silent dedication? All they see is the glamorous Yang Dong. He is not talented enough, but he has the bachelor of Lingyan Pavilion by his side! He is not smart, but he has a pair of vicious eyes, all the people he fancies, are not the most outstanding talents in the world, you see his martial arts, before meeting him, who is famous in the world? ”

"That's true." Li Jiancheng thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

In addition, Yang Tong is the first person in the generation to use people's courage and mind. Gao Hanzu Liu Bang, isn't he just a kind of person? ”

"Gao Hanzu Liu Bang?" Li Jiancheng's pupils shrank

"Han Gaozu is not as good as Han Xin in arranging troops and attacking cities; In terms of strategizing and winning a thousand miles, he is not as good as Zhang Liang, and in terms of pacifying the people and governing the country, he is not as good as Xiao He, he himself does not have any amazing achievements, but he has created a 400-year-old man. However, he is a little stronger than Han Gaozu, he is the son of the emperor, noble and unparalleled, and his background also makes him far-sighted, so he will not do the thing that the bird is good to hide the bow. Speaking of this, Liu Wenjing sighed slightly, "It's a pity that many people in my Datang Dynasty regard him as the once-brilliant Chu Overlord, and this will be a loss." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly, and said firmly: "Yang Tong is a high ancestor, but I, Li Jiancheng, am not an overlord, I want to be the king of Yue Goujian, who endures humiliation and burdens!" ”

Liu Wenjing smiled and was noncommittal.

Gou Jian is the king, and Li Jiancheng is just a prince who does a lot of mistakes, does not do and is mediocre; Li Yuan suppressed it, and Li Shimin forced each other aggressively.

Can this be compared?

Unless......

Liu Wenjing had a very crazy idea in his heart!

There is a person under His Royal Highness the Prince, a bit like Chen Ping of the Qin and Han dynasties and Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms, who is the kind of character who is vicious to the bones. Perhaps, this person can do something that he is unwilling, cannot, and does not want to do in place of the merciful Highness!

Somewhere in the East Palace!

"Is winter coming? Why did it suddenly get cold? The eldest grandson Wuji shrank back, looked at the sky, shook his head and muttered to himself.
