Yang Zhi shouted the order, and Yang waved the flag in response. The choking sound of 10,000 re-unsheaths behind him was loud, and the bowstring of the crossbow machine squeaked. As long as Yang Zhi adds two more words after "preparation", he will rush forward with a thunderous momentum! The battle between the two armies is imminent!

Whether it is the prince or the escort soldiers, they have seen the bold, but they have never seen someone as fierce as Yang Zhi. I've seen people who turn their faces and don't recognize people, but I've never seen someone who has played so hard like Yang Zhi. The 20,000 escort soldiers never dreamed that Tongguan, which walked to the door of their homes, would face a life-and-death struggle. The prince's side suddenly changed dramatically, and most of the people were dumbfounded, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, not knowing what to do. It's just that relying on his usual well-trained skills, he instinctively drew his sword and made a circle to protect the prince in the middle.

The prince's original intention was to incite the discontent of the 20,000 escort soldiers to pressure Yang Zhi to make concessions on the article that he led his troops into the pass. never expected that a one-handed counterattack would provoke such a violent response, Yang Zhi said that he would turn his face, and he was not allowed to have the slightest room for bargaining. The prince suddenly stirred up, and Yang Zhiming pretended to be a good set early, as if he was waiting for the opportunity to find fault and turn his face! Walking a hundred miles and a half ninety, if you lose your life in a daze at this time, it will be too worthless! The prince was extremely frustrated, his eyes were green and his face was colorless, and he hated Wei Su together: What are you doing in Chang'an? Why did you let such a mad dog surnamed Yang come out?

Judging from the strength of the two sides in front of him, it is the escort soldiers and horses who have a two-to-one advantage. But as long as anyone with a little bit of brains can see it very clearly, Guan has already been firmly controlled by Yang Zhi. The 50,000 defenders of Tongguan plus 20,000 soldiers and horses were 70,000. Not to mention that Yang Zhi still has 60,000 elite soldiers to support his waist and back according to Xiongguan, 20,000 escort soldiers are half on foot, tired from traveling far and unprepared, and dragged down by Emperor Luan's drive and grain and grass baggage, he has to fight against the 10,000 heavy cavalry that Huo Huo is waiting for, which is tantamount to sending meat to the chopping board. But you can't just wait to be slaughtered, if the other party does it first, then you have to fight hard!

Not only did the 20,000 escort soldiers sweat coldly, but Ye Chuang at the head of the city and the 10,000 heavy cavalry armed to the teeth didn't even dare to come out, staring at Yang Zhi's gesture with round eyes, and muttering in his heart: The news that the emperor is seriously ill has been circulating for a long time, and the throne of the future emperor will be the crown prince's sooner or later, can he use his father to rebel? Yang Zhi is young and famous, and he is extremely rich and promising, as if he doesn't have to fight with the prince? is full of strength to fight with his own family, isn't this a blind toss that is full of food? But that Uncle Yang doesn't look like he's joking!

It is said that playing is jumping, and the fire between dare or not is a compulsory course for strongmen in troubled times. Among the tens of thousands of soldiers who were tense, only Yang Zhi knew that the possibility of the two sides fighting for their lives was very small. I beat barefoot, you wear shoes, you lose a lot of places to go, you lose but you die, there is no place to bury! Trick with Lao Tzu? Who's afraid of whom?

Shen Zhong had seen with his own eyes the bravery of Yang Zhitu's army, and knew that once the situation got out of control, the prince's side would never be an opponent. In a hurry, he stepped out of the crowd, walked towards Yang Zhigao and shouted, "Brother-in-law! Don't be impatient, you have something to say! ”

Shen Zhong hadn't walked yet, at least more than 3,000 strong bows and crossbows were aimed at him, but he still didn't change his face, and he didn't stop walking. Yang Zhi sighed in his heart, this dead-eyed brother-in-law is really stupid. He waved his hand behind him and said, "Don't move him lightly." ”

Shen walked in front of Yang Zhi and pounced: kneeling down, but his waist was still straight: "Does my brother-in-law know that as soon as the battle starts, there will be a river of blood?" The two armies both belong to the elite of Great Xia, so why bother killing each other? The emperor's dragon body is sick, I see it with my own eyes, it is true, why did the prince kill his father and plot rebellion? As far as I know, you have no grudges with the crown prince himself, and you have nothing to do with the princes.

You are invincible and resourceful, if you can push the beauty of the boat along the water, the prince will not be disappointed! If you become a virtuous lord of the Great Xia generation, you will also become a famous minister through the ages! ”

A few knocks. hissed: "Brother-in-law." I beg you! ”

Yang Zhi was unmoved. Sneered: "Just a moment after I was talking to the prince. Twice your hands pressed on the hilt of your sword. It's hard for you to remember that I'm your brother-in-law again! Now as long as the prince is happy. You can also call me brother-in-law. But so what? I just wanted to find someone to sacrifice the sword. If it weren't for the fact that it was on the ground of Yu'er. You're a ghost in the underworld now! It's not that you don't know my means. Doesn't that scare you, does it? ”

"You also know that I have nothing to do with the princes. If the prince has no intention of killing his father and plotting rebellion. Why do you have to bring troops into Beijing? I, Yang Zhi, have not yet privately dispatched tens of thousands of forbidden troops to meet the ground. What is the prince afraid of? As long as the emperor still has a breath of air. Great Xia is still the emperor's land Great Xia! You and your 20,000 soldiers have made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty. The escort is meritorious. For the prince to refute rumors and avoid suspicion, he was temporarily stationed outside Tongguan City. Another success! No matter how the situation changes in the future. No one will bury your credit. ”

Yang Zhi just couldn't say anything. There is no direct reprimand, and others are afraid to avoid it. But you insist on lifting your head inside

Shen said something in his heart. The prince didn't seem to be telling him the truth. It is very likely that you will not even know how you died in the future.

Shen heard the words. Unconsciously looked back at the prince. Yang Zhi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't say that I won't give the prince a chance." I gave him a stick of incense time to think about it. The two armies are fighting or peace. Decide with his word! ”

Shen Chong's face showed hesitation: "Brother-in-law, you have no two hearts for Great Xia, aren't you afraid of the two armies killing each other...... Accidentally injured the emperor? That's a heinous crime of the Nine Clans! ”

Yang Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed: "If I am not loyal to the emperor, why bother to be a wicked person? The cannibalism of the two armies is not in me, but in the prince. I ordered the war to save the driver, to rebel on behalf of the heavens! Hehe, if the emperor is missing a head, it is enough to prove to the world that the prince is indeed murdering his father and plotting rebellion! The prince is not afraid, what am I afraid of? It's hard for me to explain to you a fool like you. Less, get out! ”

The prince instigated the escort soldiers to try to divert the conflict, but Yang Zhi immediately returned it as it was, and piled up the responsibility of leading the two armies to war on the prince's head. It doesn't matter if Shen Chong can open his mind or not, he deliberately said it to the prince and many escort soldiers.

In the interval between Yang Zhi and Chong's words, countless thoughts had already turned in the prince's mind. I can't afford to fight, but I can't afford to lose. The so-called lesser of two evils, after thinking about it nervously and repeatedly, he actually agreed with Yang Zhi's words: He really has nothing to do with the princes, and treating me like this today must not be much better for the two younger brothers of King Ning and King Kang. The emperor's father has become a speechless walking corpse, and the greatest threat to the abolition of the reserve is gone. Even if I don't bring troops into Beijing, what am I afraid of? …… It's just that this guy is also bold, I only left Beijing for a few months with the car, when did he hook up with the fourth sister?

Gathered his mind, forced himself to calmly walk in front of the two armies, and laughed loudly: "When did I say that I didn't want to leave the escort soldiers and horses in Tongguan?" I am grateful for the hard work of the 20,000 escort soldiers, but I am just worried that they will be wronged, and I don't want to make the Flying Tiger Marquis misunderstand this! If this leads to the cannibalization of the two armies, then the prince will really die without redemption. Flying Tiger Marquis, as long as you promise to treat the escort soldiers well and ensure that they do not suffer from freezing and starvation, what does it matter if I enter the customs with you empty-handed? ”

The crown prince was already handsome and elegant, and he had been governing as a prince for many years, so he naturally developed a majestic demeanor. At this time, the tension between the two armies was all due to sympathy for the soldiers under his subordinates, and he said it in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, which was quite benevolent. The 20,000 escort soldiers were all moved, and even the 10,000 heavy riders on Yang Zhi's side were moved by many people. On the way back to Chang'an from Tongguan, if Yang Zhi easily moved the prince's finger again, he would inevitably be suspected of moving closer to the "chaotic ministers and thieves".

Yang Zhi praised again: Tai's channel switching is fast, and the steps are also very round. The hearts of the 20,000 escort soldiers had been slightly shaken, and they were all taken back by him in a few words. The prince is really not a stupid person, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time!

Tai's channel switch quickly, and Yang Zhi is not slow to change his face. Yao Yao, who got off the horse, bowed down and said: "It is a matter of the rise and fall of Great Xia, so Weichen does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest." There are many offenses, but it is completely out of public intentions, and the prince of Wan begs forgives his sins. ”

The prince generously took the initiative to approach, and made a false gesture with both hands: "The Flying Tiger Marquis is loyal to the country, what is the crime?" I've said that everyone just has a small misunderstanding, and the Flying Tiger Hou doesn't need to be polite! ”

"Oh? Yes, yes, wrong, misunderstanding! Yang Zhi's smiling eyes touched the prince's resentful eyes, and they held their hands together and laughed. The two almost unanimously scolded in their hearts: misunderstanding? Bah!

Just now, it was still thunder and lightning, and it was murderous, but in an instant, it was sunny and shook hands. Although the officers and men of the two armies did not understand which one the two were singing, they knew that it was unlikely that they would fight for their lives, and they were greatly relieved.

Yang Zhi knew that it did not mean that the resentment in the hearts of the escort soldiers would dissipate, so he left the prince and went straight to the escort soldiers' array, holding high the imperial gold medal and said loudly: "Brothers! It's not that I, Yang Zhi, deliberately want to embarrass you, but I have the royal gold medal in my hand, and I have the responsibility to act on behalf of the sky! Wherever the gold medal goes, it's like I'm there! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! I frightened my brothers just now, and now I announce: The food and salary of the escort soldiers will remain the same during the temporary stay in Tongguan, and the reward and mercy will be doubled after returning to Chang'an! ”

Anyway, I don't have to take a piece out of my pocket, why did a good person let the prince do it alone? The 20,000 escort soldiers suddenly thundered with joy and shouted long live, and bowed to the legendary royal gold medal together.

The prince bowed as if he had been slapped on the knee suddenly. Then he smiled stiffly: "Flying Tiger Marquis, when did your father give you a gold medal?" I've heard about it, but I've never seen it in person, but today I've finally opened my eyes. You and I have been delayed for a long time due to misunderstanding, and you can now go to see your father! ”
