Sixth, take the city

Li Qi immediately watched in front of the three armies as Zhang Luan came out of the city with a group of officials, several generals, and more than a hundred pro-troops. Zhang Pan came to him, turned over and dismounted, saluted with both hands and fists, and said: "I don't know if the prince has arrived, and he will miss the end of the year, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Li Qi quietly looked at the middle-aged man with a hooked nose in front of him, and the other party was also looking at him with eagle-like eyes.

Seeing that the other party had no fear, he was silent for a while, and Li Qi suddenly said in a difficult way: "A certain family has sent someone to report before crossing the river, and you are only out of the city to greet you now, are you really bullying me for being young and ignorant?" Come on, take it all for me! ”

Then, without warning, Li Qi began to kill without warning. Kang Tai and Shi Kang, two pro-generals, rushed up with 500 pro-army cavalry, pinned Zhang Luan to the ground, and surrounded Zhang Luan's 100 pro-army regiments, and if there was a slight resistance, they were immediately shot in place. His original intention was to control Zhang Luan, but the guy was pressed to the ground, still struggling fiercely to resist, and scolding himself loudly.

So Li Qi waved his half-raised right hand downward, and Zhang Luan's head was cut off by Shi Kang, who was standing aside.

This made a group of officials and several generals of Jingzhao Mansion stunned.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid that acting like this will provoke a mutiny......" Before Jing Zhaotong rebelled against Han Ning's words, he saw that the guards at the head of the city began to make noise.

"Whose subordinate is this?" Li Qi's gaze turned to the generals who had followed Zhang Pan out of the city. The Zhang brothers are from Haizhou, although they were appointed by Emperor Liang as the envoy of the Yongping Army and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, but the troops stationed in the Jingzhao area are not his descendants, as long as the 200 pro-troops under him are controlled, even if the situation is controlled, this is also a reason why he dares to choose to do something to Zhang Luan.

At this time, a short general in his thirties who was controlled by his own army spoke: "The last general is Zhang Zhen, my subordinates in the city!" ”

Li Qi said to the generals: "Zhang Luan intends to rebel, everyone has seen it just now, now you go back to the city to pacify your subordinates and rectify military discipline." If you can't manage your own people, don't blame someone for taking your head and sacrificing the flag! ”

These people hesitated for a moment, and then Ren Yuan shouted: "Why don't you go and do what the prince tells you to do, do you want to follow in the footsteps of this one?!" ”

Only then did these generals who stayed in Jingzhao Mansion come to their senses, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qi, clasped their hands into fists and said, "Thank you for the prince's grace not to kill, we are willing to listen to the dispatch of His Royal Highness the prince!" ”

After a small commotion, the situation in Chang'an City was controlled by the army of Li Qi and Ren Yuan.

……

Three days later, east of the city of Huazhou.

On a small dirt hill with only a few sparse fir trees, stood a group of about 300 cavalrymen, covered in yellow dust and disheveled. Dressed in armor, Li Qi rode motionless on a jujube red horse, holding the reins in one hand, quietly watching the marching army on the official road. A pair of deep eyes that give a sense of uncertainty.

Behind him, a burly, bearded man rode a tall river meandering war horse with pure black fur, and held a large red flag embroidered with a large black plum character on it in his right hand, the flag was fluttering in the wind, and the tip of the silver-white flag spear flashed with golden light under the illumination of the slanting sun.

Li Ji raised his right hand and gestured.

Shi Kang, the pro-army commander who followed him, immediately shouted: "The whole army is camped on the spot!" ”

The whining of trumpets sounded in the field, and the moving army stopped, and the soldiers began to bury pots for cooking, and set up tents on the slightly leveled grass on either side of the road. This army of Shu experienced two more rebellions on the way back to the division, and then deprived the Western Capital of the military power to stay in Zhang Luan in Jingzhao Mansion, although the rebellion was put down, but the military spirit has become very scattered. Li Qi ordered his deputy to recruit Ren Yuan to stay in Chang'an and stabilize the situation, but he led the front army to Tongguan.

Rolls of felt tents were unloaded from carts drawn by mules and horses, and soon a tent roof sprang up on the meadows on both sides of the official road.

Looking at the majestic and magnificent Shaohua Mountain in front of him, Li Qi's heart couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Compared with the Xiyue Huashan in memory, which is full of tourists, Huashan at this time is full of primitive meaning, and the steep peaks are lush with trees, and a piece of verdant and reckless. Halfway up the mountain, the clouds and mist are shrouded, which seems a little mysterious.

It's hard to imagine that in his previous life, due to the influence of "Huashan on the Sword" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Shooting the Condor", he would actually go to Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain in Huashan to climb and play five times. When I look at this mountain now, I think that maybe there are really gods living in the mountain.

Thinking of this, Li Qi shook his head lightly, expelling these strange thoughts from his mind. Now the whole situation is in great danger, and I don't know if I really have to hide in this mountain to survive.

During the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the position of the emperor seemed to be under some curse, no matter how wise and martial you were before, as long as you became the emperor, you immediately became mediocre. This is the case with Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang, and the same is true for Li Cunqiao of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Shatuo Li's own "grassland barbarian bloodline" coupled with the consistent style of advocating force made it difficult for the Li family to gain the recognition and support of the Central Plains scholar class. This is also one of the reasons why it suddenly rose up and died suddenly. It's okay to rely on martial artists to fight the world, but if you use martial artists to govern the place...... It's strange if it's not all messed up!

Taking history as a mirror, some lessons and lessons of the past can only be used for reference, not copied.

Before and after the founding of the Later Tang Dynasty, a number of famous Jin generals led by Zhou Dewei, Li Sizhao, Li Cunxian, Li Cunzhang, etc. withered one after another.

"Ascending the tower and looking at the Qin Palace, I only saw Shuangfeiyan in the vastness. Weishui is a stream, thousands of mountains and thousands of hills. Far away smoke cage green trees, Mo on pedestrians go. There are heroes in Ande, welcome back to the Great Inner School. ”

Tang Zhaozong Li Ye's "Denghuazhou City Tower" is quite suitable for Li Qi's current state of mind.

Betrayal was everywhere, and the post-Tang Empire established by Li Cunqiao fell apart after only four years, and he was faced with a chaotic situation that he could not control. Now, how many people can be trusted?!

In the troubled times of the five generations, there are only a handful of civil and military generals who can be called loyal, and they cannot survive at all......

Li Qi was trying to recall in his mind the names of some loyal people mentioned in the history books in his previous life, when a hurried and chaotic sound of horses' hooves broke the silence in the field. A group of knights in bloodied armor, surrounded by several carriages, galloped from the east......
