Chapter 112: Return to Chang'an
A war in which the Tang Dynasty was originally at an absolute disadvantage was completely reversed after Li Yan's shot.
The people of Toya Hun were completely defeated, and in just one hour, the battle entered the final stage of purging.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
The war entered this stage, basically the soldiers cleaned the battlefield and mended their swords, and Zhang Dazhu and others took advantage of this time to come to Li Yan's side.
"Help me tell Wei Guogong, and the rest will be handed over to you."
"The army of Xue Yantuo and Tuguhun has been wiped out, and it won't be too troublesome to come to Liangzhou to rebel."
"I'll go back to Chang'an."
Li Yan first nodded to Zhang Dazhu and the others, and then did not plan to continue to stay on the battlefield.
Now that the two biggest troubles have been solved, the remaining Liangzhou rebellion is basically the time to mix up military achievements.
Li Yan didn't want to carry too many military exploits, so as not to be worried by the emperor, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"Huh? Boss, are you leaving? ”
Zhang Dazhu and the others were a little confused, they thought that Li Yan would stay with the army until the end of this battle.
"You remember to tell Wei Guogong that I'm leaving."
Li Yan no longer said much, and he was no longer worried about the comfort of Zhang Dazhu and others.
In the rebellion of Liangzhou, Li Youliang, the king of Changle, did not control many soldiers and horses at all, and Datang had an absolute numerical advantage.
If Zhang Dazhu and the others can die on the battlefield in Liangzhou, it will really be a waste of Li Yan's cultivation!
Therefore, I saw Li Yan turn his horse's head and prepare to return to Chang'an.
Of course, before leaving, Li Yan also made a special trip to Shanzhou, and before Wei Zheng could react, he beheaded Murong Shun with a halberd.
Li Yan still did what he said after all, since Murong Shun chose to lead his troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, he must be prepared for death.
After beheading Murong Shun, Li Yan left the city and rode in the direction of Chang'an.
"Eh, Dingbei Hou, why are you suffering?"
Wei Zheng muttered on the city wall, this unauthorized killing of the enemy royal clan can be regarded as a small crime, and Li Yan has no need to do it at all.
"Well, when the old man returns to Chang'an, he will have to defend you!"
Wei Zheng, the first bar spirit of the ages, seems to have changed, and he actually wants to defend Li Yan!
Wei Zheng didn't know that it was precisely because of his decision and future behavior that his impression on Li Shimin's side was much better.
……
Outside the city, on the battlefield, Cheng Yanjin came to Zhang Dazhu and others.
"Where's your boss? Wasn't it still here just now? ”
Cheng Yanjin asked curiously.
"The boss has returned to Chang'an."
Zhang Dazhu and the others stared in the direction of Chang'an in a daze, and returned to Cheng Jin.
"This is going back?"
Cheng Yanjin was also stunned when he heard this.
Now is the time to count military merits after the war, why is Li Yan in such a hurry to leave? Is there still someone in the world who doesn't like military exploits?
Although Cheng Yanjin was puzzled, he didn't delve into it, anyway, Li Yan's credit will not be ignored by anyone, and when the time comes, it will be over when the first credit is recorded.
"Let's go, let's go, Lao Cheng will help you count the credit! When the time comes, Your Majesty will be indispensable for your reward! Well, don't thank Lao Cheng, who made Lao Cheng helpful. ”
Cheng Yanjin walked away with a muttering to himself.
It's a pity that Li Yan, who left early, didn't know Cheng Yanjin's thoughts, otherwise, Li Yan would inevitably scold in his heart, and then make an account for Cheng Yanjin! Then, all the consumption of related industries in Dingbei Houfu in the future will be doubled!
Li Yan has always wanted to stay away from military exploits, and he is not uncommon for Cheng to bite the ancient road of gold!
……
Li Yan, who left Shanzhou, controlled the speed of the war horse at about 100 kilometers per hour.
Now Li Yan doesn't need to be in a hurry, naturally the more comfortable the speed, the better.
Just when Li Yan left Shanzhou about two hundred miles and was about to step into the border of Lanzhou, Li Yan encountered a cavalry frontally.
This is the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry that set out from Chang'an earlier and took more than two days to arrive here.
Although they are not heavy cavalry, they are also fully armed, and the load of the war horses is not small, and it is already the limit to be able to travel thousands of miles in more than two days.
Li Yan didn't have any intention of communicating with them, he just took a look at the Xuanjia Iron Horseman, and quickly passed by them from the flanks.
"Who is that? How can it be so fast? ”
"It's a man in armor! He has blood on his weapon! ”
"It can't be Tsuchiya Hun people, right?"
The Xuanjia Iron Rider obviously didn't see Li Yan's specific appearance clearly, but he just saw a rough idea and guessed worriedly one by one.
It's just that compared to this group of Xuanjia iron horsemen who have never seen the world, Wei Chigong recognized Li Yan.
"Isn't that Dingbei Hou Li Yan? How could he come from the direction of Shanzhou? ”
"Could it be that the Beihou has gone out together with the army before? Shouldn't it? I saw him in Xianyunju a few days ago. ”
Wei Chigong secretly pondered, he was still very familiar with Li Yan's face, after all, he had also participated in the first banquet of Xianyunju, so he naturally paid attention to this upstart in Chang'an.
"No matter! Hurry up and go to Shanzhou! ”
Wei Chigong didn't have time to think about it, when he led his troops through Lanzhou before, he saw the traces of war and saw countless corpses.
In such an urgent situation, Wei Chigong had no time to enter Lanzhou City to inquire, he only roughly guessed that Lanzhou was the place where the army of the Patriotic Emperor fought against the Xue Yantuo people.
This battlefield could not provide Wei Chigong with much information, and he knew that the news that the imperial court had received three days ago was that Shanzhou and Li Jing's army were threatened.
Wei Chigong had not seen Li Jing so far, so he could only rush towards Shanzhou at full speed, so as not to miss the best rescue opportunity.
In this way, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry led by Yu Chigong finally arrived in Shanzhou after nearly two hours of galloping.
Obviously, the gap between Shanzhou's current appearance and Wei Chigong's imagination is really a bit big.
"Lao Cheng, what are you doing...... Finished fighting? ”
"It's over! You're there after the fight? ”
"I'm ...... I knew I was called for help and set off immediately! How did you win? ”
"It's not simple, Li Yan, this kid is here, wouldn't he have a hand to win against Xue Yantuo and Tuguhun?"
“???”
Yu Chigong fell into endless contemplation, what does it mean to have hands? When is it enough to have hands in a war?
What's more, the combined strength of the Xue Yantuo and Tuguhun people must be nearly three times that of the Tang army, right?
Is this called having hands?
Wei Chigong now just wanted to slap Cheng Yanjin's face, and then asked fiercely: "Do you say anything?" ”
……
Li Yan didn't know what happened after he left, and it took Li Yan several hours to return to Chang'an at a speed that was not too fast.
When Li Yan came to the gate of Chang'an City, the time happened to be curfew, and the city gate had just closed.
On the city wall, Shen Chao looked at Li Yan who was in the dust, and his whole person had a headache.
"Dingbei Hou is going to enter the city?"
Shen Chao was entangled for a while, but he still chose to take the initiative to speak.
"Not bad."
Seeing that the person guarding the city was still an acquaintance, Li Yan was immediately happy, he was just going to get together outside the city for a night, but now it seems that there is no need.
"Huh...... Dingbei Hou, please wait a moment, I will open the city gate for you. ”
Shen Chao sighed, after all, he still chose to operate in violation of the rules, anyway, the defenders who defended the city with him today were still the defenders who let Li Yan out of the city that day, Shen Chao had reason to believe that this person should not mess with the news.
In this way, the city gate opened slightly, and Li Yan entered the city gate.
"Master Hou, there is a reluctant request for ...... of humble duties"
When Li Yan entered the city gate, Shen Chao came up to talk to Li Yan.
"What?"
Li Yan asked, anyway, this Shen Chao is also an acquaintance, and Li Yan is willing to listen to it.
"I don't know if Master Hou still remembers ...... three days ago"
Shen Chao began to explain to Li Yan that he didn't follow the normal process when he let Li Yan out of the city, and if he was held accountable, he would have to be beaten with a military stick.
After listening to Shen Chao's words, Li Yan was a little crying and laughing, he was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to what Shen Chao said before opening the city gate.
Now it seems that Shen Chao misunderstood what he meant, and he thought of himself as someone who was ordered to support Shanzhou at that time.
"Then the Japanese Hou went out of the city before the curfew, and the Ben Hou didn't see you that day."
Li Yan didn't want to embarrass others, after all, if it wasn't for Shen Chao, who was guarding the city at the beginning, it might be a little troublesome for him to go out of the city.
And most importantly, when he arrived in Lanzhou, Zhang Dazhu and them were completely on the line of life and death.
If it had dragged on for a few minutes because of leaving the city, maybe the lives of Zhang Dazhu and the others would not have been saved.
From this point of view, Shen Chao still saved Zhang Dazhu's life.
"What Master Hou said is that you have always obeyed the curfew of Chang'an, and you have never entered and exited Chang'an City after closing the city gate!"
Shen Chao was also clever, and immediately understood what Li Yan meant, and began to talk nonsense with his eyes closed.
The young defender beside Shen Chao looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and at this moment, he seemed to have understood something......
Li Yan patted Shen Chao's shoulder with some appreciation, and then said no more, and went in the direction of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
……
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Li Yan took off his iron armor and put down the hundred-pound Fang Tian painting halberd.
After ordering someone to boil water and wash up, Li Yan returned to his house comfortably, first exchanging his few experience points for a bottle of black liquid that could make the fat house happy.
After closing his eyes and enjoying it for a minute, Li Yan entered "My World" again after three days
With a peace of mind that he had never had in this period of time, Li Yan began to squat and kill the endermen.
Maybe Li Yan didn't show up in "My World" for three days, and the ender man on this night was extremely arrogant!
Li Yan was stunned to finish out nine endermen before dawn and obtained four ender pearls, exceeding the task!
"Ender Dragon, this is the heavens that want you to die!"
Li Yan muttered as he synthesized the ender pearl into an eye of ender.
Now that the raw materials for activating the end portal are complete, Li Yan can naturally start his dragon slaying business!
Of course, before that, Li Yan chose to take a good rest, he hadn't slept for a long time.
The first day after Li Yan returned to Chang'an City, he spent it in sleep.
This night, Li Yan slept until night, and after finding that the sky was about to darken, Li Yan was not going to go to Tiangong Academy today, he went directly to "My World" and put thirteen ender eyes in the inventory, and then took out one of them.
The eye of ender is known to be a key item in Minecraft to find the location of the dungeon.
End portals will also spawn in the dungeon.
Therefore, the first thing you need to do to slay dragons in the End is to craft an eye of ender, and then use it to find the dungeon.
I saw Li Yan throw the eye of ender towards the sky, and then the eye of ender deflected in one direction, and after flying for a while, it successfully landed.
Li Yan knew that, according to the characteristics, the direction in which the eye of ender deflected and flew was the direction of the dungeon closest to him.
After identifying the target, Li Yan sorted out his equipment, got on his horse and started to hurry.
Li Yan estimated that if he was lucky enough, he might be able to reach the location of the underground palace in half a month.
If he's unlucky, he'll have to catch up for two or three months.
You must know that Li Yan's golden finger "My World" is one-to-one with the real world, which means that Li Yan is about to start his career as a liver emperor again.
……
In the constant rush and adjusting direction through the eye of ender, Li Yan spent an entire night.
The reality is not unexpected, Li Yan is not the emperor of Europe, the refresh of the underground palace in the underground of the neighboring village did not happen, Li Yan wanted to slay the dragon, so he could only hurry obediently.
Of course, Li Yan will not rush in "My World" day and night.
Li Yan has not forgotten his achievement task.
"Congratulations on the milestone: Start the Industrial Revolution today (20% progress now)"
Before he knew it, this achievement task had been completed to twenty percent, but Li Yan didn't know why the progress of this task had inexplicably increased by another five percent.
After all, Li Yan himself has not been in the Tiangong Institute for so many days, and it is impossible for the Tiangong Institute to independently develop something to promote the first industrial revolution.
"Could it be that the improvement of Datang's economic foundation is also part of the task progress?"
Li Yan thought about it for a while, and finally could only come to such a guess.
After all, the Industrial Revolution is not all changes at the industrial level, it is an all-round change from productive forces to science and technology, and even social ideology.
If we think about it from this perspective, then after the food crisis was completely eliminated, the people of Datang increased their consumption power to a certain extent, which can naturally be regarded as part of the promotion of the industrial revolution, and this sudden progress of 5% can be explained.
After thinking about it, Li Yan decided to go to Tiangong Academy to have a look.
If it is confirmed that the Tiangong Institute has not made any moths, then the progress of this five percent must come from the improvement of Datang's economy.
While thinking, Li Yan left the Dingbei Hou Mansion and went straight to the Tiangong Academy.
