Chapter 128: Clean
Li Hong climbed the small hill and saw that Qin Zhan below had given the order to attack, Wei Chi Xunyan and Chen Gong stayed outside, and Qin Zhan led a hundred Lin Wei to rush into the Great Solemn Temple. |top|point|novel
Normally, Qin Zhan dared to lead people to rush into the Great Solemn Temple, he had to be punished, and he didn't have the courage, but today is different, except for the traitor of Liu Ju in the Great Solemn Temple, the person who led the army this time was the crown prince Li Hong, so Qin Zhan's courage was very fat.
He led a hundred forest guards, and as soon as he walked through the second gate of the Great Solemn Temple, the traitors inside noticed it, so they didn't want to be captured, so they also rushed out, so that the two sides met at the second gate of the Great Solemn Temple.
"Kill-" Qin Zhan gave an order, no matter what the Buddha Gate was a quiet place here, he would kill it. Liu Ju's traitors ignored it even more, and this was a quiet place for Buddhism, and one by one they rushed towards Yu Linwei viciously.
As soon as the two sides clashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the battle was quite tragic.
Qin Zhan has a hundred people, and there are only sixty traitors, he should have the upper hand, but because Yu Linwei's training time is short and his combat effectiveness is not high, he was defeated and retreated by sixty traitors, if it weren't for the two hundred people outside the temple who were ambushed, Qin Zhan would really have to fight with the other party.
The leader of the traitors is a middle-aged man who is not tall but very strong, and at first glance he is a typical Northwest man. He did not come forward to fight, but stood at the back of the team and commanded everyone to fight. When he saw that Qin Zhan's Yu Lin Wei was about to be killed, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. He was the person in charge of the stronghold of the Great Solemn Temple, and this group of black-clothed people was trained by him, and he was also very happy to see that the killing combat power he had trained was so strong. He is not stupid, he knows very well that there must be an army in ambush outside the temple, and he can't say for sure if he can get out of Chang'an City, but he knows a little bit that he can teach Li Hong a lesson and let him not underestimate his own side, he is already very satisfied.
Qin Zhan's Yu Lin Wei was able to withstand the pressure of the traitor at first, but after a long time, it didn't work, and it completely collapsed, no matter how Qin Zhan ordered, they didn't dare to rush forward again, so after the battle of half a pillar of incense, the traitor finally rushed out of the Great Solemn Temple.
Outside the Great Solemn Temple, there were already one hundred Lin Wei of Wei Chi Xun Yan and one hundred guards of Chen Gong waiting for them. As soon as the traitor rushed out of the Great Solemn Temple, Wei Chi Xunyan and Chen Gong immediately ordered, and 200 people rushed up to kill the traitor. Compared with the newly formed Yulin Guard, Chen Gong's guards were very strong in combat because they had been formed for a long time, and as soon as they entered the battle group, they put a lot of pressure on the traitors.
When the leader of the traitors saw this, he no longer commanded from behind, but stepped forward and joined the battle himself.
"Yan Zhuang, how many people do you say Yu Linwei will lose this time?" Li Hong asked Yan Zhuang on the side. Seeing Yu Linwei's battle, he knew that Yu Linwei's combat effectiveness was still very weak, and he still needed to strengthen training, and it was inevitable that he would lose a lot of people in a battle tonight.
"Thirty." Yan Zhuang guessed.
"No, at least sixty people will be lost." Li Hong said affirmatively.
"So much?" Yan Zhuang asked in surprise, the other party is only sixty people, two hundred Yu Lin Wei, one hundred guards, three hundred people against the other party's sixty people, Yu Lin Wei has to lose sixty people, the other party's strength is too strong.
"Chen Gong's guards are good at horse fighting, they are not suitable for this kind of fighting, and it is normal that their combat effectiveness cannot be brought into play, which is also where the guards around him are lacking." Li Hong said, "As for Yu Linwei, because of the short training time, they were members of the Axe Gang before, and they have not experienced any major battles, so they can show their current strength Qin Zhan has tried his best." ”
"The matter of the guards will be told to Chen Gong later." Yan Zhuang said that the combat effectiveness of the guards around the prince was flawed and had to be corrected.
Li Hong shook his head and said, "I don't need to tell him, Chen Gong knows in his heart that the last time Lone was assassinated, he discovered this shortcoming of Lone's guards, so today Lone will let them participate in the war, and at their level, many times improving combat effectiveness is no longer something that can be solved by training, only fighting, and today's battle of life and death can make them learn more things." ”
Li Hong wanted to hone his guards through bloody battles.
Because he doesn't have many enemies now, but his strength is very strong. Therefore, every time he goes out of the city, his life safety is tied to this group of guards, so it is urgent to improve the combat effectiveness of the guards around him...
"In this way, I am afraid that I will lose a lot of people." Yan Zhuang said distressedly, he could be a guard by Li Hong's side, but they were all one in a million, if he lost too much, the number of guards around the prince would decrease, and it would also threaten the prince's safety.
"There's no way around it." Li Hong said with emotion, because his guards are related to his safety, so they are very strict in the selection process, and they are not selected casually, so the number of guards around him has always remained at about eight hundred, and has never exceeded such a number.
Just as Li Hong was discussing with Yan Zhuang, the battle below was nearing its end. After all, Li Hong's side had the advantage in numbers, and the combat effectiveness of the guards was very strong, so it was not difficult to deal with the traitors with only sixty people.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer traitors on the battlefield, and only one leader and six men remained.
Seeing this scene, Li Hong said to Yan Zhuang beside him, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”
Yan Zhuang received the order, and led two hundred guards to follow closely behind Li Hong, and the group walked down the hillside to the battlefield. When Chen Gong, Yu Chi Xunyan, and Qin Zhan saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, they took the initiative to separate a road, and Li Hong, the close guardian, came to the leader of the traitors.
It was still raining lightly in the sky, Yan Zhuang held an umbrella for Li Hong, Chen Gong and Wei Chi Xunyan, and Qin Zhan tightly guarded Li Hong. Ten steps in front of Li Hong, there was the traitor wood, his clothes were soaked, his clothes were covered with blood, and the six subordinates around him were already tired and fell to the ground, gasping for breath...
"Are you from Chang'an?" Li Hong opened his mouth and asked, the leader of the traitors in front of him was a typical Guanzhong man at a glance.
"Yes." The leader of the traitors replied, his tone was quite respectful, he was not disgusted with Li Hong, and he also did not have a good impression.
"Last time I assassinated Gu, was it your order?" Li Hong asked.
"Yes, we have been lurking in Chang'an City for almost two years, just waiting for this day, I didn't expect you to escape." The leader of the anti-thieves said regretfully.
"Why do you want to follow Liu Ju to rebel?" Li Hong asked.
"Because, I don't like the Tang Dynasty, I am a remnant of the previous dynasty." The leader of the traitors replied that the former dynasty in his mouth was naturally the Great Sui.
"The previous dynasty has been dead for more than 40 years, and the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, don't you still give up?" Li Hong asked in a cold tone.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to ask Liu Ju about this." The leader of the traitors replied, "We have the final say on what we do, we just carry it out." ”
"Do you still have your comrades in the Great Solemn Temple?" Li Hong asked, even though he knew that he couldn't ask for useful information from the other party. The leader of the traitors laughed, laughing and laughing as his face distorted, and then blood flowed from his mouth, and he committed suicide by poisoning.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these people?" Wei Chi Xun pointed to the dead body on the ground and said.
"Don't make a noise, bury them!" Li Hong replied lightly, he knew what Wei Chi Xunyan meant, so this group of people was Liu Ju's subordinates, as long as he reported today's battle situation to Gaozong, Li Hong would get a lot of rewards, but Li Hong didn't want to do this, wouldn't he expose Yu Linwei's identity by doing so? Doesn't it expose your strength? He felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
"What should the monks of the Great Solemn Temple do?" Wei Chi Xunyan asked.
"Inform King Luo Bin, let the Chang'an County Ya go out and put the host in prison, and the others will be detained according to the situation, and wait for the lonely song to invite the father and emperor tomorrow, and then deal with it." Li Hong said.
Da Zhuangyan Temple is the royal temple of the previous dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty is also deeply taken care of by the Li family, Queen Dugu has often gone to the Da Zhuangyan Temple to pray for blessings, and when it comes to Gaozong, the Empress Wu is very much interested in the solemn temple, so if you want to deal with the monks of the Great Solemn Temple, Li Hong has to talk to Gaozong and the Empress Wu, of course, more importantly, he has to preside over the Buddhist leader of Chang'an City, the Great Ci'en Temple, Xuanzang's disciples can all say it.
Therefore the disposition of the presiding officer of the Great Solemn Temple, which has already touched on religious issues...
"No!" Wei Chi followed the order, so he ordered Yu Linwei to clean up the body, and ordered Qin Zhan to pull the body elsewhere to burn and bury it. He followed Li Hong back to the East Palace, because he wanted to know what kind of evaluation the crown prince would give to Yu Linwei's combat strength today.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Li Hong said lightly, "Yulin Qi's performance today is very dissatisfied. ”
"The minister knows that the minister's training is not good, and he asks His Highness to punish him." Wei Chi Xun hurriedly asked for sin.
"Lone will give you another half a year, if Yu Linwei is still like this within half a year, you can go home and stay." Li Hong said in a stern tone.
"No!" Wei Chi followed the order and bowed away. When Wei Chi Xunyan left, Yan Zhuang on the side whispered, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit harsh for Wei Chi Xunyan?" ”
"As the saying goes, jade can't be carved without carving. Yu Chi Xun is a good jade, but it is not carved. Li Hong said lightly, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to put a little pressure on him." ”
"Your Highness still thinks you have to be thoughtful." Yan Zhuang said with a smile.
"Your sycophants are also good!" Li Hong teased Yan Zhuangdao.
"This-" Yan Zhuang was embarrassed, had he ever been afraid of the prince's sycophancy? However, since the prince said so, he also admitted it, so when he saw that Li Hong began to read, he silently withdrew from the study.
After Yan Zhuang left, Li Hong read the book in the study for a while, and began to design his paper and coin model again, until late at night, when he returned to the Cheng'en Hall to rest under the urging of Yan Zhuang He.
