Chapter 503:-for-tat (5)

Killing is not the goal, but in order to calm the chaos, the necessary killing is absolutely unavoidable, which is naturally not very uncommon for the two commanders of Yan Eighteen and Gao Heng, who have been in battle for a long time. Yan 18, who led the army to kill from the right side, was not surprised when he saw a heavily armored black man leading several cavalry to kill him, and he was not surprised but rejoiced - those who dared to launch a reverse charge in such a chaotic time were either fools or self-proclaimed braves, and it was very likely that they were one of the strongest in this group of rebels, as long as they killed this thief, the courage of the chaotic army would be broken!

Yan 18 expected to be good, the black-clothed man named Fang Qi, a native of Jinan, Shandong, his father was a general under Dou Jiande, and later died in the battle with the Tang Army, he practiced martial arts since childhood, and moved the Quartet in the name of bravery, when Zhang Liang patrolled Shandong, he heard his martial bravery, summoned to try, and was deeply happy, and accepted as the head of the fake son, as far as martial arts are concerned, it is also one of the best among the five hundred fake sons, this guy has always been arrogant, never convinced, at this time he saw a soldier come to kill, not only did not retreat, but killed and rushed forward, Intending to rely on his own courage to kill and retreat the enemy, in order to show his own majesty, he had to rush to Yan 18 close, seeing that Yan 18 seemed to be frightened by his own counter-charge, and did not shoot a strong attack, he was overjoyed and yelled: "Look at the gun." The long horse lance in his hand slammed into Yan Eighteen's throat like a dragon going out to sea.

Fang Qi's martial arts are really not bad, and he has the intention to show off, this spear will go out, the speed, strength, and angle are all bad, and it is really fierce, if he changes his opponent, he may be able to make his goal of wanting to be in the chaos of the army succeed, but it is a pity that he met a battlefield warrior like Yan Eighteen, such a relentless attack, how can there be very good fruit to eat.

Yan Eighteen is an old fighting character, in the chaos of the army has long noticed Fang Qi's rush, the reason why deliberately did not rush out of the gun first, it was just a strategy to pride the enemy, at this time, seeing that Fang Qi was really fooled, he was secretly happy in his heart, when the gun arrived, Yan Eighteen suddenly shouted: "Thief, take your life!" The sound was like thunder, and I saw Yan Eighteen suddenly turn sideways on the horse's back, flashed the tip of the spear stabbed by Fang Qi, and then took advantage of the momentum to twist his waist, and the big iron spear that was originally hanging low on his side was drawn like a whip, and with a loud whistling sound, it went straight to Fang Qi's waist and abdomen.

Not good! As soon as Fang Qi snatched the air, he suddenly knew that something was wrong, and when he found that Yan Eighteen had actually used the spear as a whip, it was too late to dodge, it was too late, it was fast, and the two horses were staggered, but after hearing a crisp sound of "bang", Fang Qi's burly body was actually pulled out of the horse's back by Yan Eighteen Shengsheng, and he turned around in the air a few times like a rag bag, and slammed on the ground. As for the knights who followed Fang Qi to launch a counter-charge, they were also assassinated by the cavalry of the Ji Wangfu and killed under the horses.

Among the chaotic army of Yan Eighteen, Gao Heng on that side was not idle - Gao Heng, who led the army into the martial arts arena from the left side, because of the far road he was taking, although he was already trying his best to hurry, he was still a line later than Yan Eighteen before rushing into the martial arts arena, and by the light of the dozens of huge torches on the sidelines, he immediately found that more than ten knights were rushing towards him, and one of the leaders was a bearded man with heavy armor whose face was like the bottom of a pot, holding a big iron rod, which looked vicious and abnormal, but Gao Heng was not afraid at all, With a slam on the horse's belly, he accelerated to meet the attack.

Kill Gao Heng to this bearded strong man named He Hu, originally Hu Er, famous for his strength, in the early years in Youzhou Zuo near the bandits, after being surrounded by the official army can not be accommodated, then mixed into the mainland, wandered to the Beijing Division, to bully the market as a business, because of its brave reputation, was favored by Zhang Liang, the net into the house, accepted as a dummy, Yu Fang Qi and the five hundred fake sons of the two heroes, before Yan Eighteen rushed into the martial arts field, He Hu originally planned to step forward to meet Yan Eighteen, just because Fang Qi took the first step, he could only retreat, Towards Gao Heng, who had killed from the west, he met him.

He Hu is powerful, the thick/big stick in his hand is actually made of fine copper, weighing more than two hundred catties, it is really terrifying, and the war horse under his crotch is also tall and extraordinary, coupled with the figure of a fierce god, it is just like a killing god from hell, as soon as he saw Gao Heng swing his army to kill, He Hu babbled in his mouth, and the cooked copper stick in his hand with a strong whistling sound, wildly smashed towards Gao Heng's head, the stick did not arrive, and the stick wind had blown his face painfully.

What a villain! Although Gao Heng is a disciple of Li Zhenzhi's descendant, his strength is not small, but he is not known for his strength, his strength is still a little worse than Chen Wu, Ashina Kanning and other strong men, at this time, seeing that He Hu is too fierce, he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he was not afraid, and shouted: "Open!" The big iron gun in his hand twisted, quickly raised, like a poisonous snake pasted on He Hu's smashed cooked copper stick, and made a move to "push the boat down the river", planning to come to a four-two thousand catties, unload He Hu's stick, and then take advantage of the situation to take He Hu's empty door, but He Hu's strength is really too big, Gao Heng dialed out the shot Although He Hu's stick has been unloaded, but he was also shocked obliquely, his wrist was numb for a while, and it was difficult to change his tricks again, because the horses of both sides were fast, caught off guard, It had already crossed, and Gao Heng had lost the opportunity to kill He Hu.

Gao Heng is missing, but Ashnakan, who followed Gao Heng, would rather be happy, this guy sneaked out of Anxi two years ago, and came to Chang'an, he has been idle for two years, even the previous battle of Fangezhuang was not mixed, at this time, he rushed over when he saw He Hu facing him, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to make contributions, and he yelled: "Where to escape!" The big iron spear in his hand turned out to be an iron rod, and he smashed it towards He Hu with his head covered in the face.

He Hu had a move with Gao Heng before, and was unstable by Gao Heng's skill, and his wrist was almost dislocated because of his empty strength, and he was in pain at this time, how could he have thought that Ashina Kanning would be so fierce, he had no choice but to endure the discomfort at his wrist, and with a strain of his arms, a "fire to the sky" was erected, hoping to break Ashina Kanning's spear, but he didn't expect Ashina Kanning's strength to be much stronger than Gao Heng, even in He Hu's heyday, It may not be able to carry a few back and forth with Ashina Kanning, not to mention that at this time, He Hu can only exert sixty percent of his strength at most due to the dark injury of his wrist, under this hard frame, he can't bear it on the spot, but he feels that his arm is weak, not only did he fail to break Ashina Kanning's iron spear, but even the cooked copper stick in his hand was smashed down on the head, and before he could understand what was going on, he heard a crisp sound of "click", and He Hu's huge head had already opened, and red and white splashed around. Poor He Hu, such a big man, died before he could even let out a miserable cry.

"Kill, kill, kill" Gao Heng was originally planning to turn around and fight He Hu again, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Ashina Kanning had already made a contribution, and his heart was stunned, but it was hard to say anything, after all, he himself did not grasp the strength before, so he would be robbed of the merit by Ashina Kanning, and at this time, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, just like that, with He Hu rushing over, the more than ten horses became Gao Heng's punching bag, but seeing Gao Heng roaring a few times, the big iron gun in his hand danced into a flower, and dozens of gun shadows flew in the air, Under the reflection of the light of the torch, the first four enemies were all circled in, and a burst of random guns were cut under the horse, and the rest were frightened, and did not dare to fight again, and turned the horse's head and fled back to the center of the field that was chaotic, so far, the courage of this group of people and horses in Zhangjiazhuang has been taken away, and there is no power to fight!

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!" As soon as Yan 18 saw that Zhang Liang's troops had no desire to fight, they all crowded into a mess, but they didn't open the killing ring again, but led the army and Gao Heng's department together to besiege all Zhang Liang's departments, and broke off loudly, and immediately, the cavalry of Ji Wangfu who came with Yan 18 also let go of their voices and shouted, under such a majesty, how could Zhang Liang's gang of fake sons dare to resist, they all dropped their blades in their hands, obediently dismounted and surrendered, in the end, There are only more than 20 diehards left who are still reunited around Zhang Liang.

"Yan Eighteen, you are so daring, you dare to lead the army to attack the mansion of this official, is this a rebellion?" Although the previous battle was fierce, it went on very quickly, Zhang Liang was terrified, and did not notice who the soldiers and horses were coming, and in the midst of the panic, he suddenly found Yan Eighteen who was riding a horse and standing in front of the formation, and he was furious, not caring that his side had been surrounded by regiments at this time, he rode out, pointed at Yan Eighteen and scolded loudly.

"Boldly anti-thief, you buy heavy armor privately, collect fake children, gather people to plot wrongdoing, this will be ordered by His Royal Highness the prince to capture Er, and then don't get off the horse and surrender, and repair the ruthlessness of the official's sword!" Yan Eighteen officials live in the position of the general of the left guard of the East Palace, and their own official rank is not much worse than Zhang Liang's military squire, which is generally considered to be at the same level, and it was not Zhang Liang's turn to speak to the commander, not to mention that at this time, Yan Eighteen came to quell the rebellion on the orders of the prince, and arrested Zhang Liang, how could he be intimidated by Zhang Liang's might, so he unceremoniously reprimanded back.

"Fart, you dare to frame this official, the old man wants to enter the palace immediately to impeach Yu Er, and he will not retreat!" As soon as Zhang Liang heard Yan Eighteen say this, his heart suddenly sank, and then he looked at the only twenty or so cavalry guards left around him, and he was even more flustered, but Zhang Liang was worthy of being a long-time eunuch in the sea, and when he heard it, he knew that Yan Eighteen did not come out of holy will, so he carried out the big signboard of the saint, trying to leave this place first, and then plan later.

"Ben will give you two choices, one is Ben will count to three, Er himself dismounts and surrenders, the other is Ben will behead Er under the knife, one, ......two, "Yan Eighteen didn't eat Zhang Liang's set at all, as soon as the voice fell, he immediately took care of his fingers, dragged the sound and calculated the number, with the sound of Yan Eighteen counting, more than a thousand soldiers and horses around all stood up with knives and guns, and Yan Eighteen gave an order to kill Zhang Liang on the spot.

Zhang Liang had all kinds of tricks, all kinds of thoughts, and when he met a strong beam like Yan Eighteen, he didn't have a place to be reasonable, seeing that Yan Eighteen's killing intent was moving, Zhang Liang finally couldn't stand it, turned over and dismounted, and threw a sword in his hand to the ground, which was considered to be down, but he still shouted unrelentingly: "The official is not convinced, Yan Eighteen, this is an unauthorized capture of the minister, and the official wants to face the saint Counselor, even if your master can't get rid of it." ”

Don't look at Yan Eighteen with a straight face, it seems to be murderous, in fact, he is also beating a drum in his heart, of course, he is not worried that Zhang Liang will impeach himself, let alone that Li Zhen will be implicated in this matter, just worried that Zhang Liang will be in a hurry to break the net, in case Zhang Liang really dies on the spot, it will be a mistake Li Zhen's big event, this responsibility Yan Eighteen really can't afford it, at this time, seeing that Zhang Liang couldn't hold on and got off the horse, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, no matter how Zhang Liang shouted, He whispered to the Salan Buqi Pegasus, who was standing beside him, to rush back to Chengfu to report the victory, and he ordered the whole army to disarm Zhang Liang and the others, and detain them separately on the martial arts field, and divided a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the various entrances and exits and strategic points of Zhangjiazhuang, waiting for further orders from Li Zhen.

There was a dead silence in the back garden of Chengfu, hundreds of people gathered here, there was not even a trace of sound, everyone waited for their faces to be different, each with their own thoughts, but all of them closed their mouths in unison, no one wanted to speak at this time, even if there was a fierce and short fighting sound in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang opposite, it was not able to break the silence in the back garden, until Salan Buqixing hurriedly ran into the back garden, and there was finally a trace of commotion in the originally silent crowd.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Yan has led his troops to capture the anti-thief Zhang Liang, beheaded twenty enemies, captured five hundred, our army did not suffer any casualties, five hundred heavy armor were captured on the spot, and a number of various weapons, the last general was ordered to come to report and ask His Highness to make the regulations clear." Salambuch didn't care what everyone was saying, strode up to the chief, bowed, and reported respectfully.

"Okay, pass on the edict of the palace, without the holy decree, no one is allowed to enter Zhangjiazhuang one step, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Li Zhen was originally worried that Zhang Liang would die in the night battle, but when she heard that Zhang Liang had been captured alive, she was immediately relieved and died calmly.

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Saranbuchi answered loudly, strode out of the back garden, and went to Zhangjiazhuang without mentioning the order.

"Brother Prince, little brother, ah, little brother......" Li Shen, the king of Ji who was sitting near Li Zhen, saw that Li Zhen did not mention the slightest intention of returning the borrowed soldiers, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, and he wanted to ask about it, but he didn't know how to open this mouth, and he stammered for a long time, but he never expressed his meaning.

Although Li Shen's words stammered, Li Zhen understood the hidden meaning of his words, and the bookstore smiled and patted Li Shen's shoulder and said: "Tenth brother, don't worry, wait for me to enter the palace to face the saint, my father will have his own arrangements, when the time comes, his own Yulin Army will go to take over, and the tenth brother will enter the palace with the palace and take a trip." ”

Li Shen is a little timid, but he is not a fool, how can he not know that the brothers and the ministers have been calculated by Li Zhen, that is, the old man is only afraid that he is also in Li Zhen's calculations, and he is really afraid of Li Zhen's iron fist and power schemes, seeing Li Zhen say this, he does not dare to disobey, so he can only reply stubbornly: "The little brother is all subject to the arrangement of the prince's brother." ”

This kid is really interesting! As soon as Li Zhen heard Li Shen's pun words, she understood that Li Shen was showing loyalty to herself, and her good impression of Li Shen in her heart was even more, but she didn't say anything more, just nodded reservedly, and then looked around at the brothers and other ministers present, and slowly spoke: "All Aiqing, since the thief has been arrested, I will wait for this to enter the palace together to face the saint, and ask my father and the emperor to decide?" ”

How is it? It's already like this, so what? Li Zhen came up at the banquet with such a hand, all the ministers present were all witnesses, no one wanted to stay out of the matter, there was nowhere to hide, to such a field, in addition to going to meet the emperor together, what else could there be, although the kings and ministers had different thoughts, but no one dared to refuse Li Zhen's proposal, so they could only respectfully accept the order, according to their respective identities lined up out of the Cheng Mansion, each got into the carriage, and the group drove towards Chang'an City in the night......

The whole thing has gone smoothly so far, everything is under control, but whether he can have the last laugh is still a mystery, at least Li Zhen does not have a certain number in his heart, just because the final decision is not in Li Zhen's hands, but depends on what Li Shimin thinks, this is the difficulty of imperial politics, although Li Zhen has already arranged the relevant backhand, but as a son of man, Li Zhen really does not want the "Xuanwumen Incident" and other father-son duel scenes to be staged again, even if there is a slight possibility, Li Zhen was reluctant to go that far, but now that the choice was in the hands of the old man, Li Zhen could only suppress the irritability in her heart and wait for the scene when the mystery of the book house was revealed.

It may not be that bad, but what if, when it comes to making a final decision, what will you do? Do you rise to the challenge, or do you resign yourself to your fate? I don't know, Li Zhen really doesn't know, he just hopes that it's best not to go that far, maybe this is the weight that a prince should bear, Li Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, closed his eyes a little tiredly in the slight shaking of the carriage, and fell into deep thought, but his heart ached for no reason, and his brows wrinkled into a big "Chuan" word.

"Your Highness, it's here." The carriage rushed quickly, and it was not long before it arrived in front of the Chengtian Gate, seeing that Li Zhenliang had not gotten off the train for a long time, Yingda, who was following the side of the car, had to stick to the curtain of the carriage and reminded him in a low voice.

Oh? It's okay to arrive, it's always coming, and it's useless to think about it! Li Zhen didn't answer Yingda's reminder, shook his head heavily, as if he wanted to throw out all the troubles in his head, and then straightened out his slightly messy clothes, lifted the curtain of the car, and under the support of a group of personal eunuchs, he steadily got out of the carriage and strode towards the ministers who had already gathered outside the Chengtian Gate......
