Chapter 27: The Battle of Peace (2)

Early in the morning of the 27th, Chen Zhiyuan led the 5,000-colored army to set off from the camp, and after the team broke away from the main army, it quickly arrived at Chenjialing. After a short rest, 5,000 people turned right and galloped in the direction of Lin'an.

On the evening of the 27th, 5,000 people arrived at Zhangzi'ao, and a team of 5,000 people waited here for half a day, and at last, the two teams met. That night, all 10,000 people changed their clothes, changed their dark red military uniforms into gray and white plain uniforms, and tied white scarves on their foreheads. Chen Zhiyuan announced Jiang Yu'er's identity to everyone, told the truth ten years ago, complained about the grievances of the first emperor and the crown prince, and also made the final mobilization for the upcoming revenge war.

In the night, under the leadership of Wang Fuyang and Chen Zhiyuan, 10,000 people knelt in front of Jiang Yu'er, silent and solemn, at this moment, Jiang Yu'er had tears in his eyes, he looked up at the sky, from now on, there is no more Jiang Yu'er, his name is Liu Chi, the royal family Liu Chi.

At dawn on the 28th, before dawn, the contingent of 10,000 people was ready to go.

Liu Chi also changed into a gray and white plain clothes, he tied a white scarf to his right arm, removed the scarf on his head, pulled up his hair, and after a night, he had become another person.

Wang Fuyang is the only one among all who has not changed into plain clothes, dressed in a black robe, the old man has his hair spread out, and a short sword is stuck in his waist, which was given to him by his female disciple, after leaving the rivers and lakes that year, she gave him this short sword, saying that it was to commemorate the years of the rivers and lakes, at that time, she was still very naughty. The old man's eyes were blazing, it has been ten years, today is the time when he feels the most powerful, and the "Jade Fan Jiaolong" of the year may not have thought that decades later, he will be required to participate in fighting and killing.

Chen Zhiyuan was holding a spear, the armor of the whole body was on top of the plain clothes, the white scarf on his forehead swayed in the wind, he looked in the direction of Lin'an, today, the prince's kindness will be avenged, and the prince's revenge will also be avenged.

Behind the three of them, Zheng Tianming, Chen Xiuxiu, Donglai, Chen Lian, Wei Chenggong, Wu Debao, Xu Nian, Fang Aniu, and several people were also dressed in white scarves and waited solemnly.

"Get on the horse, go", with an order, the first eleven people and two thousand vanguard cavalry mounted at the same time, and with the next eight thousand people, they marched towards Lin'an.

Liu Chi's destination, Lin'an, Kyoto.

The ministers have entered the palace one after another to prepare for the early dynasty, the news of the defeat of Liangzhou has spread, the whole city of Kyoto has been restless since last night, there has been no war for so many years, and such a big defeat has been fought all at once, many people have not reacted, no one in the court has come out to speak, all kinds of suspicions, legends, all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto overnight.

Liu Jinglong sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers below with sharp eyes, he had received news from Rongcheng since yesterday evening, and he also knew the details of the north bank of the Yellow River. The angry emperor scolded Han Jin for his incompetence in Tianlu Pavilion, scolded Wang Ping for being reckless, and scolded Cao Rong for being a pig with developed limbs, and almost scolded all the generals who led the troops this time.

On the quiet hall, the emperor did not speak, and the ministers were all silent, at this stall, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun and being used by the person above to vent the fire.

"Hehe, don't speak, it seems that you know everything", Liu Jinglong finally spoke with a cold face, "In this case, Prime Minister, you can tell everyone, so as not to guess and guess."

Li Juan also had a cold face, and quietly told everyone about the battle that took place in Liangzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River two days ago, and after speaking, he quietly returned to his place and stood.

The hall suddenly became noisy, and the ministers were discussing what Li Juan had just said, reprimanding, sighing, and even invective, all of them were filled with righteous indignation.

For a long time, Liu Jinglong looked at it like that, like looking at a group of monkeys, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the coldness in his heart spread to the corners of his mouth. And below, there was another person standing there quietly with his eyes closed and motionless, Li Juan, like Liu Jinglong, began to know everything there yesterday evening, but unlike Liu Jinglong, he didn't have time to be angry, only to feel a chill invade, making his whole body tremble, he felt the crisis, for his own crisis.

Finally, the hall was quiet again, different from the confusion in the eyes of many people at the beginning, this time there was a fierce look in the eyes of some people.

"After the discussion, then, let's talk about it", Liu Jinglong still had a cold face.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say", Imperial Doctor Quan Ji Chang walked out of the court, bowed, and said.

"Oh, Dr. Quan, say it."

"The minister wanted to join the general Wang Ping, precisely because his outpost did not clearly investigate the enemy situation in the two cities of Hutu and Xuanwei, and was lured by the enemy of Hugh Tu City and attacked recklessly, resulting in our army's strongest Gongwei army is now besieged."

Li Juan, who was standing in front of Quan Jichang's right, heard this, and his hands that were alternately placed on his abdomen trembled slightly, but his face was still faint.

"If it weren't for General Wang's greedy merit, the 20,000 Gong Guards returned to Cangsong City, together with the 40,000 men of Cao Rong and Jiang He'an, it would have been enough to break the enemy's treacherous schemes, and the current situation would not have occurred, and Han Shihu's 30,000 new troops would not have died in vain," Quan Ji Changlang recounted, and the shocking words echoed in the main hall.

The more Liu Jinglong listened, the narrower his eyes became, and the more his brows wrinkled. Hearing the end, he held back his glance at Li Juan, who was standing there with his eyes closed, and there was anger burning in his heart.

"Doctor Quan, I know, does anyone else want to speak"? Liu Jinglong forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say", Li Zhengshu, the secretary of the ministry, went out of the court, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to join the general Han Jin, and he is not a lady in employing people and is in improper command"!

"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to say, the minister also wants to join the general Wang Ping, the reason why this battle was lost so quickly, General Wang can't escape the blame"!

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to join General Wang Ping"!

"Your Majesty..."!

"Your Majesty..."!

After speaking, the ministers who came out of the column knelt down one after another, and a large number of people knelt down on the top of the main hall, and when the main hall was quiet again, only a few people were still standing, and these people all glanced at the person standing in front intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Juan finally opened his eyes, but still stood up straight, without any expression.

Liu Jinglong waited for a while, saw that no one spoke, glanced at Li Juan again, and said in a deep voice: "Get up, of course the responsibility for the defeat must be investigated, but the most important thing at the moment is how to solve the difficulties of the front line, get up!"

Everyone stood up.

"General Lin Xie, the sergeant who is now besieged, can he break through"? Quan Jichang stood up and came out again, and asked Lin Xie, the prison soldier who returned to Lin'an last night.

"Lord Quan, more than half of the 60,000 people who were besieged drank poisonous water and have fallen ill, and if the remaining army forces forcibly break through the siege, if they do not succeed, they may even harm those who are sick", Lin Xie glanced at Li Xuan and said with some nervousness, "So, now they can only defend the city and wait for help."

"Cangsong and Xiu Tu have 60,000 people trapped in our army, do you want to find a way to relieve the medicinal properties on their bodies, there is no combat power, how can you talk about breaking through the siege", Liu Jinglong also said.

"Find a way to get the medical officer over," someone shouted.

"It's all surrounded, so you can't send it in."

"So what should I do, I can't just wait, right?"

"What about the army on the south bank, they just look at it, the enemy is only 50,000 men"!

"I heard that most of these 50,000 people are from the Western Regions."

The hall was lively again, and the ministers seriously discussed the art of war, Lin Xie looked at this scene and looked at Prime Minister Li Juan, who shook his head slightly imperceptibly, Lin Xie sighed in his heart and stood still.

Liu Jinglong looked at the lively scene below, the corners of his mouth trembled with anger, he advocated the rule of inaction, after delegating power, there had never been such a moment, he didn't expect that now that Wenchen is governing the country, military affairs are like child's play.

"Enough"! Liu Jinglong finally couldn't help but shout, "Do you treat my hall as the entrance of the vegetable market?"

There was an instant silence below. Liu Jinglong glared at everyone, and then stared at Li Xuan.

"Li Juan, shouldn't you speak"!

Hearing this, Li Juan slowly took a step forward, bent down and saluted, "Your Majesty...".

As soon as Li Juan said two words, suddenly there was a quarrel outside the hall. Li Juan could only stop for the time being, everyone turned their heads to look behind, and the emperor frowned and looked outside the hall.

A eunuch hurriedly ran in and said that the deputy commander of the forbidden army was asking to see him outside the palace and had something important to report.

Liu Jinglong's heart sank, and he glanced at Li Juan, "Call in."

Zhou Chongxi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, hurriedly ran into the main hall and knelt down, "Your Majesty, according to the report, there is an army in the north thirty miles that is rapidly rushing towards Lin'an, and there seems to be movement in the southwest direction, and two armies are fighting fiercely at a position of more than forty miles according to this"!

Liu Jinglong stood up suddenly when he heard this: "What, you say it again"?

There was a bang on the top of the main hall, and everyone exploded, looking around in a panic.

"The commander is transferring troops to the city gates on both sides, and he asked me to come over and tell Your Majesty, please make arrangements as soon as possible!"

"Who, who"? Liu Jinglong roared angrily.

"I don't know, I just know that there are foreigners among the people from the north."

"Rubbish, you bunch of shit"! Liu Jinglong was dressed in rough clothes and yelled!

Li Juan rushed to Zhou Chongxi at this time, grabbed his collar and asked, "Why did they find out so closely, You Sentinel?"

Zhou Chongxi looked at Li Juan and only said three words: "Gong Weijun...".

Li Juan understood, and the whole person staggered back a few steps, repeating in his mouth: "Gong Guard, Gong Guard...".

"Li Juan, you did a good thing"! Liu Jinglong also understood that the Gong Guards, who were responsible for the defense of Kyoto, were now trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the whole of Kyoto was now like a sheepfold without fences.

"What about the Tiger Camp, why hasn't the Tiger Camp arrived yet"? Li Juan thought of the summons he sent out yesterday.

"Prime Minister, are the two teams fighting in the southwest..."?

Li Juan collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, Liu Jinglong was so frightened that he fell on the dragon chair, and the ministers rioted...
