Chapter 738 The Liang army withdrew

In the Chang'an Palace, the atmosphere is extremely depressing, since a few months ago, Li Shimin led the army to Huayin City to return to the court, Li Shimin has been staying in the palace, and has never left his dormitory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot only that, those palace maids and chamberlains in the palace are not allowed to approach Li Shimin's bedroom at all, and there are all Tiance Mansion soldiers inside and outside Li Shimin's bedroom! Even the chamberlains sent by Emperor Li Yuan to inquire were ruthlessly blocked back by these soldiers.

Li Shimin's doing this also led to rumors in the entire palace and even in the entire Chang'an City, and many rumors said that Li Shimin was seriously injured outside Huayin City, and he has not improved until now, and he is almost dying! There are even rumors that Li Shimin has died of his injuries! For a time, people in Chang'an City were panicked, and many people began to move away from Chang'an, making the originally prosperous Chang'an a lot deserted.

Another year has passed, and it stands to reason that this year is the first year that Li Shimin became the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin should ascend the throne as emperor according to the great ceremony. However, Li Shimin was still hiding in the dormitory, and only sent someone to issue a notice to amnesty the world and change the name of the year to Zhenguan. In this way, it made the people of Chang'an more worried and discussed.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chang'an City is still as deserted as ever, on this day, a fast horse suddenly galloped from the east gate of Chang'an City. Fortunately, there are not many pedestrians in the city, otherwise, they would have to crash into people's backs. And some of the few people on the street looked at the galloping war horses and the armored sergeants on the war horses, and secretly guessed in their hearts, this fast horse came from the east, could it be that the army stationed in Huayin began to rush in the direction of Chang'an?

Not to mention what those people thought, the knight ran all the way and rushed directly to the gate of the palace. Before he rushed to the palace gate, he opened his hand and waved, and a black shadow flew quickly to the palace gate, which was actually a bronze plaque, with three big characters written on it, "Tiance Mansion", as soon as he saw this bronze medal, the palace gate guards who originally wanted to block the knight immediately made a way, so that the knight ran directly through the palace gate! Being able to ride a horse and gallop in the palace is not something that ordinary people can have, and what gives this knight this power is this bronze medal, which represents the power that is more useful than the holy decree!

Soon, the knight had already passed through the palace from the palace gate, and it didn't take long to come to Li Shimin's dormitory. But before he could run a few steps, he heard several swishing sounds, and several figures jumped out of the bushes and rockeries next to him, and pointed at the knight with their swords, and shouted: "Stop! ”

Stopped by these secret sentinels, the knight did not panic at all, but took out of his arms again, this time out of a small jade plate, which was shown to those dark sentinels, and shouted: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to transmit emergency military information, and no one can stop me!" This is a token! ”

In fact, when they saw the jade plaque, those dark sentinels had already put away their swords, and after listening to the knight's words, those dark sentinels immediately made a way for the knight, and then returned to their own sentry posts in the blink of an eye. As for the knight, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after putting away the jade card, he ran in the direction of the dormitory again.

Facts have proved that in the current palace, it is not very easy to see Li Shimin, at least this knight has already experienced the inquiry of five bright posts and secret sentinels, and he also relied on the jade plate, this knight also passed the test naturally, and finally came to the outside of the palace. Just knocked on the door of the palace, only to hear a squeak, after the door of the palace opened, the head of an attendant slowly poked out, but it was the attendant who served Li Shimin closely. I saw a pair of inverted triangular eyes of the chamberlain glance at the knight, and asked in a sharp voice, "Who are you?" ”

The knight also knew that this chamberlain could not be offended, and although he was in a hurry to meet Li Shimin, he still respectfully saluted the chamberlain and said, "This father-in-law! Below is the scout of the old general Yin of Weicheng, there is an urgent military situation, and he wants to meet His Majesty to report! Please pass it on to your father-in-law! ”

The chamberlain seemed to have been informed a long time ago, so after listening to the knight's words, the chamberlain immediately opened the door of the palace and let the knight into the dormitory, while at the same time chattering: "Why are you here now?" Your Majesty has been waiting for you for this news for a long time! ”

Hearing the complaint of the waiter, the knight also smiled bitterly, after he received this task, he was fast and fast, day and night, and even the horse ran to death, where is it slow? But now this is the palace, even if he is dissatisfied, the knight does not dare to say anything, can only salute again and again, nod yes, and under the leadership of the chamberlain, hurried towards the depths of the palace.

After passing through the eight curtains, the knight finally came to the room where Li Shimin lived, and the door opened at this moment, and in the door, Li Shentong, Tang Jian, Liu Hongji and other important ministers of the court were all standing in the room, and in front of these important ministers of the court was a gauze curtain, but inside was a big dragon bed, on which a person was lying faintly.

Although he couldn't see the appearance of the person clearly, the knight knew very well that the person lying there was Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty. The knight didn't dare to delay, and immediately knelt down at the dragon bed, and shouted: "Long live the villain to see my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Ahem!" A cough came from inside the curtain, and immediately afterwards, the chamberlain immediately motioned for the knight to take out the battle report. After the knight handed over the battle report to the chamberlain, he let the chamberlain hold the war horse in both hands, walked quickly into the door, passed through the gauze curtain, and finally handed it to Li Shimin on the dragon bed to watch. After flipping through a few pages, there was a sudden snap, and the battle report fell directly to the ground. Seeing this, Li Shentong and the others outside the gauze curtain were all startled, thinking that Li Shimin's injuries were much worse, and they all immediately took a step forward, looked behind the gauze curtain with a nervous face, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty! ”

"It's okay!" After a while, Li Shimin's slightly hoarse voice came from behind the curtain, although Li Shimin's voice was not small, but from the words there was an unprecedented sense of weakness, I knew that I was afraid that it was rumored that Li Shimin's injuries were serious, and it was not groundless! And immediately afterwards, Li Shimin said lightly: "Don't be surprised, what is written in this battle report is good news!" You'll see it at a glance! ”

After Li Shimin finished saying this, he coughed lightly, and then Li Shimin's personal attendant took the war report out of the gauze curtain and handed it to Li Shentong first. After Li Shentong took a closer look, his face immediately showed joy, and he passed on the battle report. Just passed it one by one, and soon this battle report was spread among the people in the room, and after everyone saw this battle report, their faces showed joy, Li Shentong immediately turned his head and asked the knight who sent the battle report: "Liang Jun has really withdrawn from Tongguan?" ”

"Return to the county king!" Since the knight was able to be selected by Yin Kaishan as a messenger, he naturally knew a lot of important ministers in the court, so he immediately replied to Li Shentong: "The Liang army has withdrawn from Huayin City half a month ago, and afterwards the old general Yin personally led the troops to track down all the way, it can be determined that the Liang army has retreated to the Hongnong land boundary and is marching in the direction of Luoyang!" After General Yin confirmed this matter, he sent a villain to Chang'an to inform His Majesty of the good news! ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, everyone in the room showed joyful expressions! In the past few months, the 150,000 Liang troops in Huayin City have been like a huge stone, always pressing on the hearts of the generals of the Tang Army! These 150,000 troops may attack Chang'an at any time, and with the current situation in Chang'an, it can be said that it is very difficult to block the onslaught of the 150,000 Liang army. But they never expected that after waiting for most of the day, they did not wait for the news of Li Jing's army attacking Chang'an, but waited for the good news of the retreat of the Liang army!

The old minister Tang Jian shouted with a happy face: "This is really the heaven that will not destroy my Tang Dynasty!" Your Majesty! The withdrawal of the Liang army is excellent news for Datang! Although he didn't know why the Liang army retreated, the minister suggested that His Majesty should announce the news in time, and His Majesty could also appear in the outside world appropriately, so as to calm down the rumors in the market and boost the morale of the army and the people! ”

"Lord Tang! In fact, this matter has long been expected by His Majesty! Hearing Tang Jian's words, Liu Hongji, who was next to him, said to Tang Jian with a smile: "In fact, long before the Liang army invaded, His Majesty had already contacted the Turks outside the Guan, and joined forces with Luo Yi in Youzhou to prepare to besiege Luoyang!" Unexpectedly, Wan He actually sent troops first, which disrupted His Majesty's plan. Now it seems that the sudden retreat of the Liang army should mean that His Majesty's plan has succeeded, and the Turks and Luo Yi have sent troops! Otherwise, there is no other reason that can explain why Li Jing suddenly withdrew his troops! ”

Hearing Liu Hongji's words, Tang Jian also showed a look of consternation, he really hadn't heard of this matter! However, I remembered that before Li Yuan raised troops to raise an incident, he had contact with the Turks, and now it is not an accident that Li Shi is contacting those Turks. And at this time, there was a coughing sound from behind the curtain, and it didn't take long for the curtain to be lifted directly, Li Shimin strode out of the curtain with a pale face, with a gloomy face, and hummed in a deep voice: "After waiting for so long, it's time for me to go out and show up!" ”
