The emperor's edict was also transmitted to Lingwu in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles, and after receiving the emperor's edict, Kong Sheng immediately led the army to set off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to prevent emergencies and ensure the safety of the whole escort of Mo Yansi and others into Beijing to avoid accidents, Kong Sheng deliberately divided his troops into two routes, one was Nan Yong led 3,000 forbidden troops, and the princess's guard of honor marched to Chang'an through Yongzhou; And he himself personally led 2,000 forbidden troops to quietly leave Yuanzhou.
As for whether Mo Yansi and the others are on the road of Kong Sheng or Nanyong, no one knows, these two roads are one bright and one dark, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out the truth and reality.
Sure enough, as Kong Sheng expected, Nan Yong led the forbidden army to guard the princess's honor guard, and soon after leaving Lingwu, he was attacked by a team of thousands of bandits and horses. How such a powerful bandit emerged in the Tang Dynasty, probably everyone knows it, this is nothing more than the henchmen of Gu Lulu and others in the Hui country, disguised as bandits to carry out the rescue.
Nan Yong had already taken precautions, according to Kong Sheng's arrangement, he did not fight to the death with the invading enemy, but fought and retreated, leaving the princess's honor guard and some of the grain and grass baggage to these disguised Hui horse thieves, and when the other party found out that he had been deceived, Nan Yong had led the army to gallop out of more than 100 miles.
Mo Yansi and other dozens of powerful people are all in Kong Sheng's army, including Princess Ningguo, who was renamed Princess Xiaoguo. Kong Sheng detoured Yuanzhou, turned to Jingzhou, spared a large circle before turning back to Chang'an, and finally arrived at the periphery of Chang'an after 15 days, which was basically safe.
The emperor sent the crown prince Li Yu to lead the civil and military ministers to meet him at the Mingde Gate. Of course, it was not to welcome Kong Sheng and Princess Xiao Guo, but to give the former Khan Mo Yansi a certain political treatment in terms of face.
On both sides of the official road, the people and businessmen of Chang'an who came to see the excitement were crowded, shoulder to shoulder, if it weren't for Nan Jiyun leading the forbidden army to guard along the way, I am afraid that the scene would have been chaotic.
Kong Sheng rode on top of chasing the wind, and he was still the white-clothed Liangjia Heavenly Halberd familiar to the people of Chang'an, walking at the forefront of the entire army. In the midst of the display of the military flag, Mo Yansi and the others rode horses with complicated expressions and marched passively and numbly in the cheers of the people. As for Princess Xiao Guo, she had already entered the city from Yanxing Gate in advance and returned to her home to settle down.
"Look, that's Chang'an Hou!"
"Tsk, the white-clothed Liang A Heavenly Halberd, the young hero is invincible!"
"Princess Ningguo is really lucky, she met Chang'an, she left Chang'an for such a while, and returned to Chang'an safely, she is really lucky!"
"That's the Hui Khan grinding and sipping, right? Look at the dejected posture, it looks a little unwilling. Tell me that he will live in Chang'an for a long time in the future? ”
"Nonsense! Without these people as hostages in Chang'an, can the Hui people in Mobei honestly surrender to our Tang Dynasty? Can you bow down to Your Majesty? Don't even think about it! ”
"I heard that this time the Su people made Chang'an Hou completely afraid, so he bowed his head and surrendered - that is a hundred thousand troops, Chang'an Hou only has five thousand forbidden troops, and the enemy is outnumbered, it can be seen that Chang'an Hou's spirit is absolutely invincible in the world!!"
On both sides of the official road into the city, the voices of the people chattering were actually not low-pitched, and they reached everyone's ears one by one. Kong Sheng's expression was calm, while Mo Yan Sip these people were full of mixed feelings when they heard it. It's just that they have come to this point, and they can't help but take half a step back, if nothing else, they will have to live a rich man's leisure life in Chang'an for the rest of their lives.
In terms of material conditions, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not treat them badly. But that's all, they just stay in Chang'an honestly, if they are ready to move or have an attempt, then what awaits them will be an extremely tragic end.
At this moment, the sound of dense horses' hooves suddenly came from the northwest direction, Nan Jiyun and the others immediately changed their faces, they were soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the number of people who could be roughly judged from the sound of horses' hooves, this was obviously the movement of a horse team of more than five hundred people rushing over according to a certain order and rhythm.
Nan Jiyun turned on his horse and shouted: "Stand by, evacuate the people, and protect the prince and all the adults!" ”
The melodious and desolate horn trumpet sounded suddenly, and the people of Chang'an were taken aback, and fled to the city in panic under the evacuation of the forbidden army, and thousands of forbidden troops firmly guarded Li Yu and others on the left side of the city gate.
The scene became a mess. Kong Sheng frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for the team to speed up. But he didn't pay too much attention to it, this is the land of Gyeonggi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the inland of the Tang Dynasty, and a large-scale Hui military horse cannot appear here anyway.
The forbidden army quickly escorted Mo Yansi and others into the city, but the matter was urgent and abrupt, and the originally prepared welcome ceremony had to be abandoned.
The smoke and dust were billowing and the horse's hooves were galloping like thunder.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Kong Sheng looked around and saw a team of hundreds of women, all dressed in Hui Jin suits, waving horsewhips and shouting, galloping in the direction of Mingde Gate. Although their speed is fast, their movements are uniform and the formation is orderly.
The woman in the lead turned out to be the righteous woman Gu Yun who was grinding and sipping!
How could this woman lead hundreds of female soldiers into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and drive straight to Chang'an? Kong Sheng's face immediately became a little ugly. He didn't know that Gu Yun was holding the warrant of Ye Hu Khan, and entered the border fortress in the name of entering Beijing to make a pilgrimage to the Tang Emperor, and they did not enter the city along the way, they went out day and night, camping in the wilderness, and did not alarm the state capitals and counties.
The forbidden army protecting the crown prince Li Yu and the important ministers of civil and military affairs was like a great enemy, and a group of Hui female cavalry suddenly came outside Chang'an, which made Nan Jiyun not nervous? Although such hundreds of cavalry would not make any waves in Chang'an, in case of chaos and injury to the crown prince and the courtiers, he, as the general on duty for the defense of Angyeonggi, would definitely be unable to escape the blame when Kong Sheng, the general, had not yet returned to his position and reinstated.
Li Yu's face changed, and he shouted to Nan Jiyun and the generals of the forbidden army categorically: "Nan Jiyun, what's the matter?" Good manner, outside Chang'an City, a group of Hui women who are fighting with open flames have emerged, what do they want? Rapid ...... Quickly ask for the truth and report to the palace! ”
Li Yu originally wanted to say that he would take it down quickly, but he suddenly remembered that now the Hui and Datang had just concluded an alliance, and this group of Hui female soldiers came inexplicably, and it was actually inappropriate to start doing it without asking.
Nan Jiyun bowed down on the horse: "The last general respects his life!" ”
Nan Jiyun urged the horse out and rushed to the way Kong Sheng and his party entered the city. Kong Sheng stared at Nan Jiyun with a calm expression. Nan Jiyun bowed down on his horse and saluted: "The last general, Nanba, meet the general and welcome the general back!" ”
Kong Sheng nodded slowly: "Nanba, don't be impatient, and go and ask these Hui people about their intentions, don't act rashly." ”
Nan Jiyun nodded yes, but Nan Jiyun didn't have time to ask what was going on, not far away in the neat formation of Hui female soldiers, the heroic Gu Yun urged the horse to gallop out, and shouted loudly on the horse: "Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng, quickly return my father Khan and the leaders of the tribes, otherwise, I will fight with you endlessly!" ”
Gu Yun said his name and surname, shouted loudly, his voice was crisp, and everyone present, including Li Yu and others, heard it clearly. This woman turned out to be the daughter of Hui Khan Mo Yansi? This woman brought people to Chang'an, was it actually to rescue Mo Yansi and his party? Listening to this woman's tone, it is obvious that there must be a lot of work behind Mo Yansi's abdication and coming to Chang'an to worship the Tang Emperor.
Actually, it's all some nonsense. If there is no "article", if you don't want to do it well, how can you abdicate and take the initiative to come to Chang'an as a hostage?
Li Mi and Du Hong were about to come forward, but they were stopped by Li Yu: "Li Xiang, Du Xiang, don't be impatient, since Princess Su is here to find Kong Sheng this time, then, let Kong Sheng come forward to deal with it&...... From this point of view, there must be a hidden secret behind this abdication, which is not as simple as we imagined. ”
Li Yu glanced at Li Yu, and said in his heart, aren't you pretending to be confused? Mo Yansi's abdication must have been forced to do so, even a child in Chang'an can understand the truth, as the prince of a country, he deliberately picked it on the table, it was nothing more than to target Kong Sheng.
Li Mi was slightly disappointed. He knew that Li Yu and Kong Sheng had always been at odds, but the fundamental contradiction between the two was that Kong Sheng stood on the side of the emperor and was not co-opted by the crown prince, and there was no personal grudge. But in any case, a once-in-a-century talent like Kong Sheng, who is of great value to the Tang Dynasty, should be stopped as soon as possible for the sake of the overall interests of the country.
But Li Yu did not let go of any place that framed, suppressed and attacked Kong Sheng. This made Li Yu, the ministers of the clear stream, a little disappointed in Li Yu's demeanor and bearing.
Kong Sheng sighed lightly, had to turn his horse's head, and galloped towards the camp of the Hui female soldiers. He never expected that this righteous daughter of Mo Yansi was so bold and reckless to do things, and she would chase her confidants all the way to Chang'an, and she was still outside Chang'an City, saying with great fanfare that she wanted to rescue Mo Yansi and others, which was really incredible.
Moreover, what makes Kong Sheng even more strange is that with Gu Yun's fiery temper and straightforward character, if she wants to rescue Mo Yansi, she should have taken action outside of Lingwu or Helan Castle, why is she still holding on to this day, and she has been chasing Kong Sheng's team to Chang'an to ask for her guilt in public?
Gu Yun and his entourage seem to have come by chance, but in fact, they should have done it deliberately, deliberately in front of Li Yu and the ministers, and broke up the ceremony of the Tang Dynasty to welcome the former Khan of Hui Hui.
Kong Sheng was suspicious in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly on the horse: "It turned out to be Princess Guyun." Does the princess know that you have committed an unforgivable felony by leading the army into the territory of the Tang Dynasty with open fire, and making noise outside Chang'an City? ”
Gu Yun raised his whip and came closer, and his pretty face was full of frost anger: "Kong Sheng, you don't want to bluff, I am the princess of Hui, how can I be bound by your Tang Dynasty law?" If you want to know each other, quickly return my father Khan to the Emperor, and I will spare you from death! ”
Kong Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "Princess Guyun, it is already a capital crime for the Hui people to trespass on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who you are, as long as you break the law in my Datang, you will inevitably be severely punished by the law, you don't even understand this, I think you really need to come to Chang'an to live for a few days, read some books, and learn some rules.
