Chapter 244: Sending Troops to Guanzhong (5) (3rd Update)
"Damn, just hateful!"
After Yang Fugong, Li Yingxu and others left, Li Yi woke up leisurely under the busy treatment of the imperial doctors.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Li Yi would not have woken up so quickly, but he pretended to be dizzy, so he woke up quickly. Although the imperial doctors are not the best in medical skills, they are the most secretive, and naturally they can see that Li Yi is pretending to be dizzy, but they have not exposed it, and they have cooperated with the other party to rescue them.
Li Yi, who woke up, was suddenly furious, and the eunuchs and imperial doctors in the room were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. They are not like Li Yingxu and others who can ignore the attitude of Li Yi, the emperor, if Li Yi is angry and kills them, no one will avenge them.
Li Yi was angry, really angry. He didn't expect that Li Yingxu was just a prince who would dare to draw a sword in front of him, and these soldiers who protected him didn't listen to his command at all.
What made him even more hateful was that Yang Fugong was actually on King Shou's side.
"Your Majesty is angry." Wei Zhaodu hurriedly persuaded.
"Get out, get out of here, get out of here, the farther you go, the better."
Seeing that Li Yi was so angry, the eunuchs and ministers in the room all retreated, and they also knew that it was unwise to disturb Li Yu at this time.
After the eunuchs and ministers retreated, Li Yi came to the window and looked at the soldiers outside the window, and his heart was very irritable.
He now understands what it means to be alone, and he doesn't know who else to trust. Shou Wang? This royal brother is already a stranger to him, and it is estimated that the other party has begun to stare at him.
This is also normal, not to mention King Ji, King Shou and King Mu, I'm afraid the other princes are also staring at the throne. No, Li Xuan, the heir of Xiang, can't wait.
He had always thought that King Ji was the biggest threat among the remaining brothers, but now it seems that he didn't expect it to be King Shou.
How did Shouwang get up?
Before Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, King Shou was just a little-known person among his brothers, and it was only because they played polo together that they usually had a good relationship, so they left Chang'an with each other.
The first time King Shou came into his sight should have been the rebellion of the forbidden army around him at that time, when the other party saved his life. After arriving in Chengdu, the rebels of the Yellow Head Army saved themselves again.
That's why I agreed to form the Tiance Army and master the army.
At that time, King Shou was asked to form the Tiance Army, just to curb Tian Lingzi's power and thank King Shou for saving his life.
Later, the relationship between King Shou and Tian Lingzi became more and more stiff, and he drove him out of the court and sent him to Shannan West Road.
Maybe he made a mistake in this appointment, if the other party went to Jingnan, there would not be the current situation.
But it's useless to talk about it now.
Just when Li Yi was in a daze, there was a sound from the door next to him, and a crisp footstep sounded.
"It's not like you said get out..." After Li Yi turned his head and saw the comer, he swallowed back his words stiffly.
Because the person who came was his eldest daughter, Princess Tang Xing, when she heard Li Yi's angry voice, she was startled, and said weakly, "Father." β
Just when Li Yi was stunned, Zhang Junning trotted in and saluted Li Yi, "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who is optimistic, please condemn Your Majesty." β
Although she didn't know why Li Yi was angry, so many people were driven out just now, and she was afraid that her daughter would provoke the other party, so she hurriedly chased in.
"It's okay, take her back to rest." Li Yi was rare to be gentle for once, and said in a low voice.
Zhang Junning hurriedly asked the palace maid to take her daughter out, and then saw Li Yi frowning, and said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, do you want the concubine to give you a massage?" β
Li Yi glanced at Zhang Junning lightly, blinked his eyelids, and said lightly, "No need, you go down, don't bother me." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Junning was a little disappointed, but not long after she left, Li Yi called a recently favored concubine into the room.

As the sun rises, the clouds and mist in the mountains disperse, revealing lush mountains, babbling streams and birds singing in the sky, making it clear that the north and south sides of the mountains are clearly surprising.
On the mountain post road of the Bao Slope Road, an army of 40,000 people is advancing rapidly, waving flags, mighty and endless, like a long dragon.
This is the main force of the Zuo Tiance Army, the Jinyi Guard and the Shenji Battalion that set off from Xingyuan Mansion.
The army had already set off a few days earlier, but it had not marched at a high speed until yesterday when it received the news that Li Changfu's rebels were attacking Baoji.
However, the road is not easy to walk, even if it is fast, it is difficult to reach Baoji as soon as possible. Out of the Bao Slope Road, Yixian is still hundreds of miles away from Baoji, and for the infantry, it will take at least a day.
When their whole army arrived, it was estimated that the daylilies were cold. Baoji only has 10,000 demoralized Shence troops, how can they resist 40,000 rebels?
Thinking of this, Li Ye called Li Hong and the others, "Li Hong, now the situation in Baoji is critical, this king will take all the cavalry to reinforce first, and you are responsible for leading the main force of Zuo Tiance's army and the Shenji battalion to follow." β
"Yes, Your Highness." Li Hong hugged his fists
He also knew that with the current speed of the march, it was basically impossible to reach Baoji at noon. But at the speed of cavalry, it was possible, so Li Hong had no objection.
He was not worried about Li Ye's safety, after all, there were 13,000 cavalry, that is, 10,000 cavalry and two cavalry of Zuo Tiance's army. In this level, there is no cavalry that can be defeated.
Even if Zhu Mei now occupies Chang'an, there are only 5,000 cavalry under his command, and Li Changfu has about the same in his hands. Li Ke's Shatuo army had a lot of cavalry, but they were all in the river.
Although these thirteen thousand cavalry are far inferior to the Shatuo army, they can crush the cavalry of other armies in terms of numbers, not to mention that the equipment is still very good.
"Go full speed, and you must reach Baoji City before you arrive."
Thirteen,000 cavalry, under the personal leadership of Li Ye, quickly broke away from the large army and accelerated the march. It's impossible to run or anything, it's a mountain path, but it can't make so many cavalry run. As long as you cross the slope valley, the speed can be faster.

The battle in Baoji City lasted from morning to noon, and hundreds of ladders leaned against the city wall.
The city wall of Baoji is not long or high, but at this time, you can see dense rebel soldiers climbing up the city tower by means of more than 100 ladders, and the scene is spectacular.
What big war in Western movies in the future can catch up with this scale? This is just an average scale battle, but later Chinese films cannot replicate the war scenes of the ancient cold weapon era.
After a morning of fierce fighting, corpses were scattered all over the city tower and under the city walls, and the wails were heard one after another, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
With 30,000 troops pressing, the rebels occupied an absolute advantage, and from the previous sporadic breakthroughs, to a comprehensive breakthrough, firmly gaining the upper hand. More than 4,000 rebels rushed to the tower, and for a time there were more rebels than the defenders, and the situation was very unfavorable for the defenders.
"General Qiyu, I can't hold on at the city gate." A soldier rushed to report.
"You take two teams of soldiers to take care of Your Majesty's safety, and the others come with me."
In fact, there were no soldiers to send, only the soldiers who protected Li Yu's safety had not yet participated in the battle. The city gate must be guarded, otherwise the betrayed army will attack the city, and everything will be too late, so the guards around Li Yi can only be transferred.
Liu Kui quickly rushed to the city gate with eight hundred living forces, and near the city wall, there were many busy. Due to the lack of manpower, Li Yingxu suggested that the people in the city should be gathered to be responsible for logistics to relieve the pressure of manpower.

However, where did these people see this tragic scene, although it played some role, but they could not take up arms to help the defenders fight back. For them, it doesn't matter to them whether the city is broken or not, is it possible that the rebels can still slaughter the city?
In fact, these people were still under the management of Li Changfu before, so they would not do their best to help the defenders in the city.
Coming to the city gate, Liu Kuigang transferred 400 of them to the city tower for reinforcements, and the overburdened city gate finally collapsed under the impact of the battering ram, and dense rebels poured in from the city gate.
Liu Kui was suddenly in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted, "Come with me!" β
Liu Kui roared and led the four hundred people around him to rush towards the influx of rebels, he brandished a horizontal knife, extremely brave, and several rebel soldiers in front of him were in different places.
The morale of the four hundred soldiers behind him and the soldiers around him soared, and Liu Kui fought fiercely with the influx of rebels. Although the number of rebels was large, the area at the city gate was narrow, and the numerical superiority of the rebels was not fully demonstrated.
However, there are definitely benefits to the superiority of numbers. Although the defenders at the city gate were high-spirited under the leadership of Liu Kui, these soldiers were not iron after all, and with the influx of more and more rebels, their physical strength gradually became unknown, and a negligence was killed by the rebels, and their bodies were killed on the spot.
Just when Liu Kui and the remaining thousands of remnants of the army were desperately resisting, the news that the city gate had been breached reached the gathering place of Li Yi and a group of ministers and clans in the city.
"What now?"
At this time, many people began to panic, but Li Yi and the ministers and princes looked at each other coldly, and it was Tian Lingzi, Yang Fugong and others who were panicked.
Li Changfu said that he would kill Tian Lingzi, while Yang Fugong stood on Liu Kui's side to resist the attack of Li Changfu's rebels, and there would definitely be no good end after breaking the city.
Due to the tense situation, everyone was gathered, and Zhang Junning was among them, but unlike the others, she had a dagger hidden on her body. If the city is really broken, no one dares to guarantee what those rebels will do, and for her, she would rather die than be humiliated by the rebels.
Contrary to Zhang Junning, Li Yi was not only not afraid, but faintly happy. If what Li Changfu said is true, then it is possible for him to live, or to be his emperor, it is better than King Shou leading his army to come.
"Woo... Woo... Woo"
While everyone was anxiously waiting, a dull trumpet suddenly sounded, and although it was far away, it was clearly audible to everyone inside and outside the city, and the earth was trembling at the same time.
