Chapter 0287: Dragon and Phoenix Fight
The team of 10,000 people set off almost in single clothes, because Tang Xiao withdrew all of Tang Yuan's equipment, Tang Yuan didn't say a word about it, he felt that what should be returned to the Shence Army was completely paid off through this operation.
In fact, when Tang Yuan first took over this army, it was Tang Qi's recruit division, and most of these equipment were grabbed by Tang Yuan with the team, and some of them did cost Tang Yuan a lot of effort, such as dozens of high-strength crossbows, a hundred catapult assembly frames, a large number of private pine oil, more than 5,000 war horses, and in the end, Tang Yuan was left with less than twenty horses, which naturally included the lightning white dragon horse that Cao Wushu gave to Tang Yuan.
If this horse is also asked by Tang Xiao, then don't meet in the future.
High-level battles are mostly psychological battles, and on the surface they have to get by no matter what.
Walking all the way to the east, he saw the white eyes of some people from the Tang Clan, Tang Yuan just didn't see it, when he left Chang'an City, everything with the Shence Army turned into a thing of the past and ceased to exist.
The troops walked very slowly, and the food they brought was also very small, and they accompanied the commander of the garrison Liang Guanzhen to give Tang Yuan a ride, and on the way he said earnestly: "Back then, we were trapped in the street pavilion, and the 150,000 troops of King Sangla and the new foreign king trapped us, and a few of us old guys rushed out of the city with the execution.
The fifth prince said, within a day, the old handsome Tang Zhen will definitely send someone over, we will fight and wait, and finally wait for the reinforcements, and that person is you.
Your 10,000 people are really capable of fighting, although you didn't take the team to save me, but you saved Wang Caotian and the pawn, and when they were rescued, the enemy army began to withdraw. And I was indirectly rescued by you. So in my heart, I have always been very grateful to you, and I also attach great importance to this affection of the Divine Army.
I heard that you were going to leave this time, I couldn't bear it, I wanted to take Wang Caotian with me to persuade you, but the old Wang Tou was too stubborn, and he said that he didn't want to see you again in the future. You must know that at the banquet of our elder brothers just three days ago, Wang Caotian praised you for a while, saying that you are a genius of the Great Liang Dynasty once in a century. At that time, some people said that it was possible for you to break away from the Shence Army and the Tang clan, Wang Caotian swore to the sky, saying that you definitely can't, and you were born with the surname Tang, why should you give your life to the surname Zhao? ”
Hearing Zhen Badao's words, Tang Yuan couldn't hide the guilt in his heart, sighed and said, "I also want to start from the beginning, but the situation doesn't allow it." And I didn't mean to leave this time. Why, if General Zhen can figure it out, that's fine, if he can't figure it out, I can't tell you casually. ”
Zhen Badao nodded and said: "Our elder brother has been fighting for half his life, and the military and political circles have seen too many ups and downs, everyone was surprised when you left this time, and I expected that there must be a reason for it." Since you don't want to say it, of course I don't have to force you to say it, I'm just a guess, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Tang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't guess, old general, I won't admit if I guess right, and I won't say it's wrong if I guess wrong." Otherwise, it's no different from telling the old general directly. From now on, we will go half of the road to the sky, and my Tang Yuan's move may not be right, so my end may not be good, but this does not prevent me from continuing to walk. ”
Zhen Badao smiled bitterly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't say more." That's it for you, take care all the way. ”
"General Zhen will meet again!" Tang Yuan whipped his horse and walked away.
Within a day, the team came to Zhao Guangli's conservative Tongguan, and at this time, Zhao Guangli had already received a secret order from the Queen Mother, so there was no need to check the Tongguan documents such as Tang Yuan's troops, so he directly opened the city gate and let Tang Yuan pass by.
Zhao Guangli was arrogant and didn't show up, an adjutant counted the number of people in a businesslike manner, and then let Tang Yuan and them go, without even saying a word to stay.
Now Tang Yuan's troops are a rootless grass, his father doesn't love his mother, and he is not a human being inside and out.
The Shence Army is already a semi-enemy, and the Xuanjia Army is also an outsider, Tang Yuan only hopes that Tang Qi will give an order as soon as possible, so that he can leave this place, whether it is to go to Mozhou or Jingzhou, it is better than staying here.
However, until he stationed his team thirty miles south of Luoyang City, he did not receive a message from the palace, Tang Yuan sent Feng Feima into the city to ask the military department, and the military department had no right to govern this army at all, so he did a perfunctory matter, and only said to ask the military department Shangshu, but in fact, he didn't ask at all.
After Feng Feima came back, Tang Yuan wrote a letter urging the military department to send food quickly, the troops had already begun to go hungry, Feng Feima ran into the city again, but no one responded. This time, Tang Yuan was angry, and regardless of the military order, he personally entered the city to see His Majesty the Emperor.
Seeing that Tang Yuan was already waiting outside the palace gate, the emperor was also very embarrassed, sighed and said: "The Empress Dowager just wants to sharpen his temperament to see if he dares to enter the city without Xuan, and he really came in." That's not a good thing. ”
Zhao Ce smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since he has already come in, let him go to the apse and wait, and tell the military department, don't be slow, hurry up and distribute military rations." ”
Tang Qi came over when he heard the news, raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, the current Emperor Zhide didn't look as complacent as he was a few years ago, "Is Your Majesty going to see Tang Yuan at this time?" ”
"I don't see it, do you still want the Queen Mother to see it?" Zhao Ce snorted lightly and said, "I'll just say that you are in a hurry, what's the use of transferring Tang Yuan in now?" Should he still lead a group of outcasts to attack the city? ”
"What, his troops were disarmed?" Tang Qi was surprised.
"Your seventh brother did a good thing, but he didn't show mercy at all." The emperor said in a sarcastic tone: "Now, it is only to increase the troubles, how to settle these 10,000 people in the future is another problem, I think the imperial mother will not let them stay in Luoyang, rather than let the imperial mother scold, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible, send some military food to Tang Yuan, and let him leave quickly." ”
Tang Qi was silent in thought.
The emperor suddenly remembered something, and said: "Also, when you do this, have you already announced that you have torn your face with Prime Minister Tang Zhen?" As the mother of the country, you actually did something against the will of your father-in-law, how the whole world will look at you, I think you should have a count. It's not that I don't protect you, it's just that I'm in front of the Queen Mother, and it's useless to speak, and if she wants to abolish you, I can't do anything. When the time comes, you'll have to do it for yourself. ”
Hearing this, Tang Qi frowned, and his face was angry: "Your Majesty's words are too ruthless, why do I want to transfer Tang Yuan back to Beijing at this time, don't you know it in your heart?" Tang Yuan's troops have always been the most capable troops, and he came back to support you, not to meet my needs. I'm just a mother now, I can't get out of this palace, that's all I can help you. Do you still expect me to beg Tang Zhen to help you as a righteous daughter? ”
