On the day of the festival!

In the west of Chang'an City, a high altar is placed on which pigs, cows, sheep and three livestock sacrifices are placed!

At this time, there were only 10,000 defenders left in the city, and there were 10,000 in total including the forbidden army of the palace!

The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, according to what was said before, was placed outside the city, and the hundred officials and all the people sincerely prayed to the heavens!

Due to the lack of troops, Li Er only arranged 3,000 people to organize the people and maintain discipline, and did not mobilize a large army to defend.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, many of them did not come back outside, and most of the old ministers who came this time were like Xiao Yu Pei Lian, Yu Shinan, etc., and the only generals were Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, who went into battle with illness!

Bai Fan didn't participate, in his words, that is, this time it was just three thousand Turkic barbarians, a group of generals plus soldiers, and the king of Qi as the internal response, and they rushed up, and the barbarians didn't know how to die! So the excuse is that he is taking care of his unwed wife at home and does not show up!

What is the real reason?

One is that this ancient ritual of worshiping the heavens is very long, and it is simply a crime to go; The two are used as a reserve force in case there are any unexpected events!

By Bai Fan's side, he was also an old acquaintance, Zhang Shigui, the leader of the Xuanjia Army!

"General Zhang, don't be so nervous, our position has been carefully calculated by me, it is the fastest position to send troops from the city, you can reach the battlefield in a quarter of an hour, the Xuanjia Army is well-trained, even if there is any emergency, it will definitely be too late to rescue Your Majesty!"

Zhang Shigui looked at the tea that Bai Fan had brewed for himself, it was really hard to swallow, and he looked at Bai Fan with an embarrassed face and said, "Lantian Hou, since the Xuanjia Army became famous, it has always been responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety, and this is the first time that a certain family has come to protect it from such a distance, and a certain family is a little uneasy!" ”

Bai Fan said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with this, as the captain of His Majesty's first guard, you can always think that Your Majesty's safety is commendable, but this time we are fishing, and this bait is Your Majesty himself, so if we don't catch a valuable big fish, we will really fall short!" ”

Zhang Shigui also understood in his heart, nodded helplessly, subconsciously grabbed the teacup and drank it, one bite after another, and he was not in the mood to feel the taste in his mouth at all.

And to the west of Chang'an City, the two thousand five hundred soldiers of Li Yuanji and the Turkic Ashinadur are making final preparations for battle!

"General Ashina, the Turks are still short of 500 troops, why is this? Is there any secret plan that can't be realized? We cooperate with each other, and you don't tell us if you have private actions, but it's not sincere enough! Li Yuanji frowned.

After waiting for so many days, the last five hundred soldiers sent by the Turks are still not in place!

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, don't worry, the national teacher has no last resort, those five hundred warriors must have been taken by surprise by the national teacher, our target is your Tang Emperor, no matter what the national teacher has planned, he will ultimately act for the goal, so please rest assured, once we succeed, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our two countries will be friends!"

Li Yuanji thought in his heart, the traitor Zhao Deyan is really cunning, and he is still playing scheming with us?

Didn't you send Chengdao to inquire about the news? Why is there no wind leaking out at all?

"Let's go, His Royal Highness King Qi, the soldiers are ready, it will take a lot of time to rush from here to the altar, and we can't delay any longer!"

And where is Lee Seung-do that Lee Won-gil is talking about?

At the beginning, Li Chengdao was sent by Li Jiancheng to Yunzhou to contact Zhao Deyan, Zhao Deyan, an old fox, also had distrust of King Jin in his heart, so he detained Li Chengdao by his side, nominally to help cooperate, but in fact as a proton!

When the Turks invaded Yunzhou, it was Zhao Deyan who personally commanded the people in the city to make an internal response, and when Qu Tushou did not react, Yunzhou was broken!

After breaking the city, he gave everything to Zhifu Sili, and Zhao Deyan took Li Chengdao and five hundred subordinates to Chang'an!

Zhao Deyan has always been very closely monitoring Li Chengdao, and Li Chengdao wanted to ask for the secret of the operation, until he helped break Yunzhou City, Zhao Deyan began to reveal some secrets to him!

It turned out to be the bureau set up by the head of the Wang family in Yunzhou, specifically to buy Bai Fan's head!

And Luoyang was also laid down by Zhao Deyan, like Yunzhou, Luoyang will also suffer from military disasters!

Although he knew this information, Li Chengdao had no chance to spread the news to the outside world until the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony!

Zhao Deyan changed into the clothes of the people, carried a sword bow and crossbow, and mixed in the crowd, Li Chengdao finally knew the true plan of this sinister fat man!

It turned out that he wanted to pretend to be the people, and when the army was fighting and chaotic, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the emperor and hundreds of officials to kill the emperor and officials directly from behind on the altar!

Five hundred Turkic elite soldiers, if the defense is insufficient, it is really possible for him to succeed!

Not to mention that his second uncle of the emperor is dangerous, if this traitor does not pay attention to morality, it is possible to shoot his father to death!

Thinking of this, Li Chengdao was in a cold sweat, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't know what to do!

At this moment, a beggar was squeezed over in the crowd, and Li Chengdao saw this opportunity, kicked the beggar down, and cursed, "Get out!" An unpopular person called Hanako also came to participate in such a festival to the heavens? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing the innocence here? Get out of the way quickly, don't let Hong Qiye see you again, see you once, fight once! ”

The beggar wanted to get up and reason with Li Chengdao, but when he heard this call, especially the name Hong Qiye in the words, he knew in his heart that it was his own family, and this beggar was also clever, pretending to look up and seeing Li Chengdao very scared, so he crawled away with a rolling belt!

Li Chengdao believes that the other party understands, the disciples of the beggar gang have to learn from acting, and their acting skills are already better than themselves, so they must have already informed the master at this time!

Seeing this, Zhao Deyan was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, the habits of rich children are just not surprising!

And a day ago, Elder Song of Luoyang found the guard Qu Tushou and explained the situation to him, Qu Tushou was also scared into a cold sweat, he didn't know that he was calculated, and now there are refugees outside the city who are looking for their own debts, fortunately they didn't kill people, otherwise this is really yellow mud and falling off the crotch!

Overnight, he helped several henchmen and disciples to fall down from the city with hanging baskets and went to Chang'an to report the news, and he had to wait until daytime to explain to the people, and he also had to stop the army of the imperial court to help, don't kill people!

After the beggar gang disciples left the city, they immediately contacted their brothers outside the city, found a fast horse, and disappeared into the long night in a short time!

Now the beggar gang has spread all over the north of the country, whether it is a big city, or a small county, there are beggar gang industries and organizations, if you talk about the speed of news transmission, the eight hundred miles of the North and Central Government may be the first, but the beggar gang is fully mobilized, no slower than the eight hundred miles of the rapid start!

The war is about to start, and it is not yet known what the victory or defeat will be on the ceremony......
