Chapter 245: Sending Troops to Guanzhong (6)
Li Changfu, who was outside Baoji City, was in a particularly good mood when he saw more and more of his subordinates attacking the city, and his face was full of smiles, as if he had seen the scene of his power in the world.
Suddenly, one of his subordinates suddenly came to report, "Report to the marshal, nearly 20,000 cavalry have been found ten miles away, and they are killing us." β
"What? 20,000 cavalry? Could it be the Shatuo Army? Hearing this news, Li Changfu suddenly panicked, as if remembering the previous defeat at the Shatuo Army.
Before he united with Zhu Mei, and the Shence Army was still defeated by the Shatuo Army, which left a great shadow in his heart. 20,000 cavalry, and only Li Keyong took it out.
"Shuai Huijie, it's not the Shatuo Army, it's an army that I've never seen."
"An army you haven't seen before?"
Li Changfu racked his brains and didn't think of whose army it would be, he knew that the Tiance Army had already rushed to reinforce it, but he didn't think that the Tiance Army had so many cavalry, so he naturally ignored the Tiance Army.
However, before he could figure out whose troops the offending cavalry was, Li Ye had already led more than 13,000 cavalry to kill him. The distance of ten miles is less than a quarter of an hour for a cavalry running at high speed.
At this time, a loud horn sounded on the battlefield, and 13,000 cavalry swept like a monstrous wave, and the murderous aura that shook the sky was enough to cut everything down, and in an instant, the thousands of rebel cavalry who were in a hurry to meet the battle were scattered and crushed.
Seeing that his thousands of cavalry did not hold out for even a quarter of an hour, Li Changfu knew that he had been defeated.
He had seen the power of the Shatuo cavalry, although the cavalry in front of him was not as good as the Shatuo cavalry, but after his cavalry was dispersed, the infantry who were besieging the city could not stop the charge of the cavalry in front of him.
Seeing the cavalry killed, Li Changfu looked at Baoji City behind him unwillingly, gritted his teeth and retreated north with his own soldiers.
And the rebels who were besieging the city also panicked after discovering the cavalry killed behind them.
The cavalry led by Li Ye arrived, which was a shot in the arm for the defenders in the city, and under the shouting of Liu Kui and others, everyone knew that King Shou had brought the Tiance army to reinforce.
For a time, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and under the leadership of Liu Kui and others, they began to counterattack, killing the rebels who had no intention of attacking the city and retreating, with heavy casualties.
At this time, Li Changfu took the lead in escaping, which undoubtedly put the rebels in a leaderless situation.
There were counterattacking defenders in the city in front, and murderous cavalry in the rear, and after Li Changfu ran away, these tens of thousands of rebels lost their restraint and had no one to command them. Seeing the invincible cavalry coming, the entire rebel army fell into an atmosphere of fear, and it spread to the hearts of all the rebels.
On the wide, flat plain, tens of thousands of rebels scattered and fled towards Fengxiang Mansion in the north. No one thought of rallying to fight back, and even those who had the idea of seeing the chaos gave up on the idea and joined the queue to escape.
After all, there are only a few who can escape, and more are mercilessly slaughtered by the cavalry or lay down their arms and surrender obediently.
Half an hour later, this great battle that affected the situation in Guanzhong ended not long after Zhao Xiong arrived from Fengzhou with more than 10,000 Tiance troops.
In this battle, Li Changfu's rebels lost 15,000 people and captured 20,000, and less than 5,000 rebels followed him to Fengxiang Mansion.
At the end of the battle, the defenders in the city suffered more than 9,000 casualties. The reinforcements brought by Li Ye were less than 2,000 killed and wounded.
"Xia Guan is fortunate not to be dishonored, and finally waited for His Highness."
After the battle, Li Yingxu, who was covered in blood, came to Li Ye and bowed, his eyes a little moist.
Li Ye nodded, "Li Changshi has worked hard. β
Although Li Yingxu's martial arts are good, his martial arts are not suitable for the battlefield, and there are not many opportunities for him to go to the battlefield. And the other party in front of him, a suit of armor that I don't know where he got it was already tattered, but I can imagine how far the situation in the city has become, but fortunately he came in time.
Leaving his gaze from Li Yingxu, Li Ye looked at Liu Kui next to him.
Compared with Li Yingxu, Liu Kui is even more miserable, his body is not only bloodstained, but scarred, and his armor is torn in many places, obviously cut by a sharp blade. And on his face, if it weren't for the reminder from others, Li Ye couldn't believe that the general in front of him whose face was covered with blood was his brother-in-law Liu Kui.
Li Ye patted the other party's shoulder, "You're okay!" β
"It's okay, I can't die." Liu Kui grinned and said with a smile that showed his bloodstained teeth.
"You can't die, this king doesn't want that nephew to have no father." Although Liu Kui had many injuries on his body, none of them were fatal, so Li Ye joked, and then turned around and ordered, "Come on, take Liu Kui's horse down to bandage it." β
Liu Kui is not strong, he can stand by willpower, he is not a peerless general, he has been fighting for so long, his strength has long been exhausted, and he has completely relied on one breath to hold on until now.
As soon as he finished talking to Li Ye, Liu Kui, who was standing with a weapon, suddenly fell to the side, which startled Li Ye, but fortunately, the soldier next to him supported the other party and hurriedly took the other party to treatment.
"Your Highness, your majesty will take you to see Your Majesty." After Liu Kui was helped away, Li Yingxu arched his hand, and the weapons in his hands had already been thrown to the soldiers next to him for safekeeping.
"Are you alright?" Li Ye asked.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, it's all other people's blood, and it's okay for the lower officials." Li Yingxu forced a smile and said, "But Your Highness is mentally prepared, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be happy with His Highness's reasoning." β
Li Ye looked in the direction of the city and sneered, "He will recognize the reality clearly." β
After speaking, Li Ye turned on his horse and took Li Yingxu to the city under the escort of the Jinyi Guard cavalry.
When they saw the heroic Li Ye get off the tall horse, everyone's mood was a little complicated.
Especially Li Yi, when he saw Li Ye and the cavalry behind him, his face was gloomy, as if Li Ye owed him a lot of money.
In fact, Li Ye really owes him money, after all, he promised to hand over part of the tea profits to Li Yi every year, but after Li Ye arrived at Shannan West Road, he left it behind.
Li Ye came to Li Yi, clasped his fists and bowed and said, "The courtier's brother is late to save the car, I hope the emperor's brother will forgive his sins." β
"You can come a little later." Li Yi's face was not good.
Li Ye didn't seem to hear Li Yi's words, but looked at Tian Lingzi on the side.
When Tian Lingzi found that Li Ye's eyes were on him, he realized that something bad was going to happen.
"Isn't this Grandpa Tian? The emperor's brother is in trouble, and Father-in-law Tian can be said to have contributed a lot, doesn't Father-in-law Tian want to explain? Li Ye said with a smile, directly ignoring Li Yi on the side.
"His Royal Highness King Shou laughedγγγγγ"
Before Tian Lingzi finished speaking, Li Ye ordered loudly, "Come on, take Tian Lingzi down." β

"Your Majesty..."
"Bold!"
Li Yi looked at Li Ye with a gloomy face, "King Shou, what do you want to do?" Do you still have me in your eyes? β
"Could it be that the imperial brother wants to shield this culprit who put the imperial brother in danger?" Li Ye looked at Li Yi without changing his face.
Tian Lingzi didn't know that Li Ye was going to clean him up, but at this time, Tian Lingzi wanted the army to have no army, how to fight against Li Ye, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Yi, and said with a handful of snot and tears, "Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty, and I hope that Your Majesty will think that the old slave has no merit and hard work over the years, and bypass the old slave's cheap life."
King Shou, I am willing to leave His Majesty's side to go to Xichuan to be a prisoner, and I also hope that King Shou will live around the cheap life of the old slave. β
Seeing the once powerful Tian Lingzi kneeling on the ground like a dog begging for mercy, everyone else present had mixed tastes, especially Yang Fugong. At this time, he could only hope that King Shou would not cross the river and tear down the bridge, otherwise he would have no room to resist at all.
"Do you want to go to your brother? You're like him, and you don't care about anything in order to survive. Li Ye scoffed.
"That's it!" Li Yi yelled, staring at Li Ye deadly, "King Shou, my father is also the imperial court, since he is willing to go to Xichuan to be a prisoner, let him go." β
Li Ye didn't expect Li Yi to protect Tian Lingzi, so he smiled and saluted, "Since the imperial brother has spoken, the younger brother naturally does not dare to object." β
"Your Majesty, King Xie Shou." Tian Lingzi kept kowtowing, and there were blood stains on his forehead, and he was still kowtowing there.
In front of the people present, Li Ye naturally had to give Li Yi a little face. Although he agreed, it is not certain whether Tian Lingzi will be able to reach Xichuan alive.
"What is King Shou going to do with me? Abolish my self-reliance? Li Yi said coldly.
The royal brother laughed. The royal brother is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, how dare the younger brother do such a rebellious thing. After this incident, the younger brother naturally escorted the imperial brother back to Chang'an.
King Xiang is unpopular and unpopular, and the court still needs the imperial brother to sit in charge. Li Ye smiled.
After leaving from Li Yi, Li Ye ordered Zhao Xiong to immediately lead his troops and horses north to pursue Li Changfu, and transferred 5,000 cavalry to him. Li Changfu occupies Feng Xiang to stand on his own, and now the other party's vitality is greatly damaged, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to hold Feng Xiang in his hands, it will not be so easy to take Feng Xiang later.
After arranging everything, without waiting for Li Ye to look for it, Yang Fugong took the initiative to find the door.
"I don't know what His Royal Highness King Shou will do with our family?"
"Disposition? The privy envoy laughed, to stabilize the situation, you can't rely on this king, don't be lazy. Li Ye said with a smile, "At present, Chang'an is undecided, and this king still needs the help of the privy envoy." After defeating the rebellion and recapturing Chang'an, the privy envoy actually took up an idle post and served as a lieutenant in the Zuo Shence Army at the same time.
Yang Shouliang can be the general of the Zuo Shen Ce Army, and Yang Shouxin can be the general of the Zuo Shen Ce Army, I don't know how this is? β
Yang Fugong thought for a while and shook his head, "Your Highness, our family thinks that Yang Shouliang can be the envoy of a town. β
A cold glint flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and then he promised, "Yes, after Zhu Mei is pacified, you can be the envoy of the Suining Festival." β
"Your Highness is generous, our family is here to thank Your Highness for that nephew." Yang Fugong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
That look of smugness.
