Yang Fugong's actions can be concealed from the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but not Li Rupei, although the army is temporarily stationed in Tongguan, but countless scouts have long been lurking in the capital, before the capital is under full martial law, and the dark line in the capital has been contacted, the focus of these scouts is the movement of the Shence army, Li Rupei has long said that it is impossible to track Yang Fugong, but as long as you keep an eye on the Shence army, you can know what Yang Fugong has moved.

The information on the abnormal movement of the Shence Army barracks on the outskirts of Beijing reached Li Rupei's hands as quickly as possible.

Looking at the information in his hand, a smile appeared on Li Rupei's face, his goal was basically achieved.

In fact, Li Rupei has already made an analysis, Yang Fugong is unwilling to give up power, then there is only resistance, with the strength of the Shence Army, it is not enough to compete with the iron-blooded army, Yang Fugong must think of other ways, Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong in history, both of them have done one thing, that is, to kidnap the emperor to leave the capital, Tian Lingzi is to kidnap the emperor to Xichuan, Yang Fugong is to hold the emperor to Fengxiang, the two are not the same objects, one is Tang Xizong, the other is Tang Zhaozong.

Because of Li Rupei's crossing, Tian Lingzi has no chance to hold Tang Xizong hostage, and now I'm afraid it will be Yang Fugong's turn.

Yang Fugong once contacted the northern feudal towns and entered the king of Beijing Qin, which shows that Yang Fugong and the northern feudal towns are inextricably linked, not to mention that the king of Qinqin in Beijing this time, many feudal towns have benefited, so this time, the desperate Yang Fugong must have taken the emperor hostage to leave the capital and go to the northern feudal towns to hide, so as to achieve the purpose of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven.

The northern feudal towns will not miss this opportunity, the emperor is by his side, and while getting the benefits, he can also make demands on other feudal towns, who is not willing to do such a good thing, not to mention that this is the best opportunity to enhance his strength.

Yang Fugong may have thought. By holding the emperor hostage, he can unite to the feudal towns in the north and contend with the iron-blooded army, so it is difficult to say what the outcome will be in the future, and no one can say what the situation is.

It's a pity that Li Rupei has been prepared for this for a long time.

If the advantage of the Iron Blood Army is brought into play, Yang Fugong will not have a chance to make a move at all, maybe the Iron Blood Army will enter Chang'an City and control everything, and Yang Fugong may be kept in the dark. At least Yang Fugong didn't have any chance to act.

How could Li Rupei not have imagined this.

After the iron-blooded army occupied Henan Mansion, the eastern capital Luoyang and Tongguan without blood, Li Rupei's thinking changed fundamentally, and he found that the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang were not places worth worrying about at all.

Li Rupei's target has turned to the feudal towns in the north.

The location of the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang is actually very awkward, with Guannei Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road in the north. All of them were occupied by feudal towns, which did not obey the orders of the imperial court, and even posed a faint threat to Chang'an, followed by the Turks. Although the Turkic power was greatly weakened, the threat was always present, and Henan Province to the east was also occupied by feudal towns. They are also capable of threatening the capital of Chang'an and the eastern capital of Luoyang.

Once Li Rupei captured the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, he would directly face the feudal towns and Turks in the north.

When he ordered the Iron and Blood Army to recover Longyou Dao, it was equivalent to planting a nail in the north. This nail threatens the Turks and feudal towns at all times, and at the same time, it also ensures that the Iron Blood Army can successfully take the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang.

Li Rupei will definitely make a move on the feudal town, the Tang Dynasty does not allow the existence of the feudal town, this tumor that appeared during the Anshi Rebellion must be uprooted, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will never get peace, but Li Rupei also has to prevent an unexpected situation, that is, after the iron-blooded army occupied the capital Chang'an, all the large and small feudal towns in the north expressed their support and submission, which made him lack a reason to do it, after all, the feudal town has an army, and it is also a decision made by the imperial court.

Li Rupei must find an opportunity to do it, and I am afraid that Yang Fugong will create this opportunity for him.

Once Yang Fugong kidnaps the emperor into the feudal town, Li Rupei will seize the opportunity, not give Yang Fugong any respite, and order the iron-blooded army to pursue as quickly as possible, and exterminate Yang Fugong and the associated feudal towns at the same time, even at this time, it is worth the cost, at this time, Li Rupei can justifiably start cleaning up the northern feudal towns.

There aren't so many strategies to clean up the feudal towns, as long as the strength is strong enough, everything is easy to say.

Before the news of the Shence army arrived, Li Rupei suddenly issued an order that 50,000 soldiers of the iron-blooded army, day and night, must arrive in the capital Chang'an within one day.

Tongguan is three hundred miles away from the capital Chang'an, although it is said that all of them are troops, but to arrive in one day and one night, this task is unclear, but the order is an order, and it must not be violated.

Li Rupei personally led the army and ordered Cui Yanchong to lead 10,000 iron-blooded soldiers to garrison Tongguan, and the rest of Gao Chibang and others all followed him straight to the capital Chang'an.

The soldiers of the iron-blooded army, who had been prepared for a long time, were like a rolling torrent, heading in the direction of Chang'an.

Zhu Wen, Yang Mu and Yang Xingmi, three generals, led an army of 30,000 to pursue the 40,000 Shence army that had evacuated the suburbs of Beijing at the fastest speed, and Li Rupei and Gao Chibang led 20,000 iron-blooded soldiers and soldiers to enter the capital directly.

Shortly after holding the emperor hostage and leading 40,000 Shence army sergeants to set off, Yang Fugong received news that the iron-blooded army had marched towards the capital, and the vanguard army was less than a hundred miles away from the capital.

Yang Fugong, who was panicked, didn't have time to think of anything else, and immediately ordered 20,000 Shence army sergeants to stay and build fortifications to resist the attack of the iron-blooded army, and the remaining 20,000 sergeants followed him day and night to Fengxiang.

The speed of the march of the iron-blooded army was still beyond Yang Fugong's expectations, and it is no wonder that Yang Fugong never knew the real combat effectiveness of the iron-blooded army, that is, he heard a lot of rumors, he even thought that the iron-blooded army was weaker than the army of the northern feudal towns, Yang Fugong thought that the really powerful army was still the crow army under the command of Li Keyong, Yang Fugong made the confidence to hold the emperor hostage to Fengxiang, and also thought that the northern feudal towns could easily defeat the iron-blooded army when they united.

Yang Fugong's carelessness and self-confidence made an irreparable mistake this time.

The 20,000 soldiers of the Shence Army left behind have not had time to build effective fortifications, and the torrent of 30,000 iron-blooded troops has arrived, and the battle unfolds in an instant, and the rout also appears in an instant.

The iron-blooded army with momentum like a rainbow is not at all something that the Shence army can resist, Zhu Wen, who has experienced countless battles, charged at the front, and the iron-blooded army rushed towards the Shence army with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The officers of the Shence Army who commanded the battle were originally resentful, and they thought that they could follow them to Fengxiang, who knew that they had received an order temporarily, and they had to stay to defend against the Iron Army, if they entered the capital to defend against the Iron Army, they could also rely on the stable city to hold on for a period of time, and they could surrender at the worst, but now there was no chance of surrendering, and seeing the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army rushing over, the first to flee were those officers.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the murderous Zhu Wen would never be polite, he ordered the soldiers to be killed, and not to let go of the fleeing Shence Army sergeants, and the battlefield was full of bloody smell for a while......

Only the sergeants of the Shence Army who dismounted and knelt down and surrendered could save their lives, and they had to pray that the horse's hooves would not step on the body, and the sergeants who fled out of instinct had almost no chance of survival, and the officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army had an advantage in numbers, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the two armies was obviously different, so victory was also a matter of course.

Zhu Wen, Qian Mu and Yang Xingmi and others, held back for a long time, starting from Xiangyang, all the way to Tongguan, did not encounter a battle, the army continued to advance, and constantly occupied many places, which does not conform to the psychology of Zhu Wen and others, since it is an iron-blooded army, it is to fight, so as to be able to show the real role of the iron-blooded army, and finally encounter a real fight, without a complete victory, Zhu Wen and others will not withdraw their troops.

The fighting lasted for more than an hour, and the official road was full of corpses, and in some places it was even blocked......

Li Rupei, who was about to arrive in the capital, received a report from the heralds, saying that the army led by Zhu Wen, Qian Mu and Yang Xingmi had won the victory and was currently cleaning up the battlefield.

The careful Gao Chibang found that in the herald's report, there was no mention of how to deal with the surrendered sergeant.

After the herald left, Gao Chibang asked.

Li Rupei smiled and spoke.

"Many soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army, holding back for such a long time, finally have a real fight, how can they let it go, besides, these sergeants of the Shence Army, if they let them escape, think about where they will go, they are not following behind Yang Fugong, so Yang Fugong's strength is not stronger, the intelligence is already very clear, Yang Fugong hijacked the emperor and went to the direction of Fengxiang, Li Maozhen of Fengxiang, the development of Fengxiang over the years is good, and the strength is relatively strong, If Yang Fugong brought too many sergeants to Fengxiang, and the two armies united together, the next battle of the Iron and Blood Army would be extremely tragic, this time Zhu Wen and others completely destroyed the arrogance of those Shence Army sergeants, and let a small number of sergeants flee to Fengxiang, which can also shake the military hearts of Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen, which is the most beneficial for the Iron and Blood Army. ”

After saying this, Li Rupei gave another order to the heralds beside him.

"Order Xie Yuxin, who is stationed in Longyou Road, to lead 10,000 iron-blooded soldiers to advance in the direction of Guannei Road, and hand over the livelihood matters related to Longyou Road to Xie Guoxi, the deputy envoy of Longyou." (To be continued......)
