Chapter 13: The Storm Rises Again

The Huya legionnaires, who were in charge of garrisoning the city, saw their army returning and opened the city gates. Li Yuxuan was the leader, flanked by Zeng Yiyang and Heng Jiu'er, followed by two teams of cavalry of the Huya Legion, behind six tanks, and four helicopters hovering overhead.

Li Yuxuan, Zeng Yiyang and Heng Jiu'er led the cavalry of the Huya Legion to lead the city, and six tanks then drove into the Crouching Tiger Mall in turn, and four helicopters also landed on the tarmac of the Crouching Tiger Mall. Li Yuxuan, accompanied by Zeng Yiyang and Heng Jiu'er, came to the city head of Crouching Tiger Mall, and looked down at the people who heard the movement and came out to watch the excitement.

Li Yuxuan shouted at the head of the city: "Greetings distinguished guests and merchants! I am Li Yuxuan of the royal family, because the three princes came to thank him for saving his life, and he was involved in the factional dispute for the throne, Crouching Tiger Mall is about to face the encirclement and suppression of other factional forces, in order to avoid everyone being injured by the war, please evacuate Crouching Tiger Mall immediately, and when everything calms down, welcome to come back, I apologize to everyone as the city lord! Li Yuxuan stood at the head of the city and bowed deeply to the people below.

Zeng Yiyang appeared on Li Yuxuan's left side, and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Zeng Yiyang, the grandson of the former barbarian marquis, and now loyal to my lord Li Yuxuan, the battle for the throne of the Tang Dynasty has begun, and now the prelude to the struggle for hegemony in the world has begun, as long as you are not a vulgar person, you will be involved in this storm, whether to worship the prime minister, or become a prisoner, everyone chooses for themselves!" ”

Heng Jiu'er jumped into the air and appeared on the right side of Li Yuxuan, and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am the son of the former Southern Xinjiang pioneer general Heng Tianba, and I am now loyal to my lord Li Yuxuan, Brother Zeng Yiyang has said it in detail just now, everyone is willing to stay and join us, welcome those who are willing to leave, we will not force us to stay, Captain Lin let go of the city gate and let the old folks go!" ”

After a noisy argument, most of the people packed their bags and went out of the city together, heading towards Qingzhou City and Youzhou City. Captain Lin, who was guarding the city gate, saw that the people had not left the city, so he prepared to close the city gate.

Li Yuxuan took Zeng Yiyang and Heng Jiu'er to land in front of the people left behind, and said with his hands clasped into his fists: "I, Li Yuxuan, thank you for your trust, all the old and the young, please return, I don't want to see your family members suffer because you join!" ”

These people who stayed behind returned the salute one after another, and many people shouted loudly that they would return with their friends and family, in the troubled times, it was the time when the Tang Dynasty boy was determined to serve the country, and he chose the right master, so that this life would not be in vain!

A purple-robed young man of the same age as Li Yuxuan came to Li Yuxuan and the three of them under the escort of six strong men, bowed his hand, and said, "Under Xu Jing, I don't know what position can be given to join your command?" ”

Heng Jiu'er stepped forward and looked the purple-robed young man up and down carefully, and asked, "I don't know who Marshal Xu Da is Xu Jing's brother?" ”

The six big men guarding Xu Jing showed nervous expressions, Xu Jing waved his hand, and said flatly: "General Heng Jiu'er, Marshal Xu Da is my ancestor, and I am the Xu Jing you think." ”

Heng Jiu'er returned and whispered in Li Yuxuan's ear: "Lord, this is one of our six sages of the Tang Dynasty, and General Xu Siyuan of the current Soldiers and Horses Division is his father. ”

Li Yuxuan smiled and nodded, "Brother Xu Jing, all I can give you is such a position as a brother, maybe you need to start as a soldier." ”

Xu Jing smiled and nodded, did not speak, with six strong men, as many people left the Crouching Tiger Mall, the city gate of the Crouching Tiger Mall was closed, nearly fifty cannons were set up on the city wall, and a soldier of the Tiger Roaring Legion at five meters and a post put the machine gun on the battlements, and the six tanks in the city were already loaded with shells and ready to attack at any time, and the crews of the four helicopters were nervously overhauling.

In the General Soldier's Mansion in Youzhou City, General Chen and Li Shiwen looked at each other with a sad eyebrow, and Li Shiwen asked, "Lord General Soldier, is there a good plan?" This Li Yuxuan is not easy to deal with, his Tiger Tooth Legion and Tiger Roar Legion are so invincible, what do we use to destroy them? Li Yuxuan's own combat power is also extremely strong, three of the ten cultivators under the account of the Great Prince were killed by him, and we have no cultivators under him, how can this battle be fought? ”

Mr. Chen frowned and thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Patriarch Li, the rebellious Li Yuxuan in your clan is the leader behind the Crouching Tiger Mall, and there is such a powerful legion under him, why don't you have any news at all?" I knew that this Li Yuxuan was the strongest trump card of the three princes, even if your knife was on my neck, I wouldn't dare to offend. Now it's good, I offended the three princes, and the eldest prince didn't buy it, we are not people inside and outside now! It is imperative to take the troops to the Crouching Tiger Mountains first, find a place to station, and avoid the limelight, lest this great prince turn his face and deny people, and kill us first to vent his anger. ”

Chen Zongbing and Li Shiwen hit it off, immediately ordered troops, took grain and grass and marching tents out of Youzhou City, and camped in the jungle of the Crouching Tiger Mountains two miles away from Youzhou City. Discharge mobile sentinels to guard the perimeter to prevent Li Yuxuan's army from attacking.

The news that the forces of the eldest prince were defeated by Li Yuxuan's Huya Legion and the Tiger Roaring Legion in Youzhou City spread in Chang'an City, and the second prince Li Shixun, the third prince Li Shimin, the eldest prince Li Shize, the fourth prince Li Shijing, and the fifth prince Li Shikui were all shocked and did not speak when they received the report from their subordinates.

Immediately, the third prince Li Shimin sent messengers to the crown prince, the second prince Li Shixun and the eldest prince Li Shize, respectively to submit a truce and withdraw from the struggle for the throne.

Li Shixun and Li Shize immediately objected, claiming that Li Yuxuan, the bandit leader of Crouching Tiger Mall, slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou City, sheltered Zeng Yiyang, the grandson of the rebellious Marquis of the Barbarian Marquis, and Heng Jiu'er, the son of the rebel Heng Tianba, gathered in the mountains and forests, robbed officials and silver, killed innocent people, and did all kinds of evil!

The ministers of Li Shixun and Li Shize's faction echoed one after another, and the third prince Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Since the eldest brother and the second brother want to destroy the Crouching Tiger Mall so much, please ask the two elder brothers to lead the troops, or which adult who spoke just now will lead the troops." ”

Li Shixun and Li Shize immediately shut up, and the ministers of the faction they belonged to also retreated and shut up. They have all learned how hard this Li Yuxuan is.

Seeing this scene, the emperor patted the dragon case and asked calmly: "You Aiqing just commented with great interest on this Crouching Tiger Mall, which has become a bandit, why did they all retreat as soon as they came to the crusade?" I remember that a few years ago, an Aiqing gave me an iron-tired bow and crossbow, which is extremely easy to use, and it was produced in this Crouching Tiger Mall. This Crouching Tiger Mall has spent three years without any crimes, what is the reason for the sudden reversal? And this Crouching Tiger Mall also has iron bumps flying in the sky and running on the ground, what is the origin, which Aiqing knows? ”

Li Shize's face became ugly, Li Shixun sneered, and said: "Back to my father, this Li Yuxuan is low-key, no one knew that he was the owner of the Crouching Tiger Mall before the incident, the eldest brother Li Shize learned that Li Yuxuan and the third brother Li Shimin had close negotiations, so he dispatched nearly half of the prince's top guards, and privately mobilized the forces of the general army of Youzhou City and the patriarch of Li Shiwen to exterminate it, but was killed by more than half of the legions under this Li Yuxuan, Li Yuxuan led people away, and the people of the Crouching Tiger Mall have been evacuated, Be prepared to stubbornly hold on. ”

Li Shize's face turned pale, and he hurriedly quibbled: "Back to my father, this is a second brother's frame, I have never participated in this matter, this matter is because Chen Zongbing and Li Shiwen have a long-cherished wish with Li Yuxuan, and they pulled my banner under the beggars of the second child and caused a monstrous disaster, this matter has nothing to do with me, please also ask my father Wang Mingjian!" ”

The emperor looked at the two sons eating dogs, slapped the dragon case angrily, and reprimanded angrily: "What I asked is what is the origin of the iron bumps that fly in the sky and run on the ground from this Crouching Tiger Mall!" What are you two sons of law doing? Are you trying to kill me and get into this position? ”

Li Shize and Li Shixun immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, begging their father to calm his anger. Li Shijing and Li Shikui came out and added fuel to the fire: "Enlighten my father, the three elder brothers have been peeping at the throne for a long time, and they have long had the intention of seeking power and usurping the throne, so please be careful with my father." Those iron lumps, according to the sergeants who have seen them, can easily break through the gates and kill the sergeants, but we have no weapons that can pierce their iron shells. ”

The emperor closed his eyes, slapped the dragon case again, and scolded angrily: "How did I give birth to you ruthless and unrighteous beasts, you are brothers, not enemies!" Xu Siyuan Aiqing, you mobilized soldiers and horses to cooperate with the five princes, and brought those iron lumps and the people who controlled them back to Chang'an for me. Whoever of you five bastards will offer more iron lumps first, and I will make him the prince! Retreat! ”

The emperor turned around and left with the support of the eunuchs beside him, Xu Siyuan and the five princes who received the order looked at each other, and Xu Siyuan led them to the military aircraft.

The minister of the Military Aircraft Department headed by Xu Siyuan and the five princes sat down separately, and Li Shixun said unscrupulously: "Third brother, I believe that your subordinate named Li Yuxuan must be very loyal, I will send someone to put a knife on your neck and directly force him to hand over those iron lumps, I believe everyone agrees!" ”

Li Shimin slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Second brother, if you dare to do this, I will immediately order my top guards to kill you with all their might, I have withdrawn from the fight for the throne, but if any brother still wants my life, I will definitely fight with my life!" ”

The eyes of the other four princes avoided under Li Shimin's aggressive gaze, Xu Siyuan coughed lightly twice, and said: "Princes, don't be impatient, may I ask if the third prince has a way to collect these war weapons without blood?" At present, the Great Yuan and Great Qin in the south and north have already deployed millions of soldiers on the border, and they may invade at any time. ”

Under the gaze of everyone, the third prince Li Shimin slowly shook his head and said: "I can only try, this Li Yuxuan brother holds the VIP token of the Taoist Sect, and there is also the guardian of the Demon Sect Immortals, and directly offending him will only force him to continue to show his hole cards, who of you are tired of living, you can attack him and try." And after the two fierce generals under him, Heng Jiu'er and Zeng Yiyang, are they, you also know, which of you has the confidence to surpass them in the use of soldiers, you can try it! ”

Everyone present gasped, and looked at the third prince Li Shimin with suspicious eyes. The third prince Li Shimin ignored everyone's gaze and left directly, and the fluttering words came: "Everyone is free to discuss, Li Yuxuan is my brother, I won't do anything to him, farewell!" ”
