Chapter 162: The Forbidden Army

In the early morning of the seventh day of the eighth month, Li Yuan led Xu Kuangheng to leave Linyuan City with a light horse, accompanied by only 800 personal guards cavalry to protect him. The remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses were sluggish due to the heavy load, grain, grass and equipment, so they simply handed over to Liu Jiangsheng and more than a dozen other generals and ordered them to follow behind.

As for Luo Erhu, who had not recovered from his serious injuries in Xizhou before, although he had not yet woken up at this time, he had already been out of danger after being diagnosed and treated by the medical officer for a few days, so he handed them over to Liu Jiangsheng to take care of them along the way, and Li Yuan was naturally relieved about this.

Eight hundred rode out of Linyuan City, decisively chose a wide and flat official road, the horse's hooves galloped wantonly, dusty all the way, and returned to Langzhou City smoothly two days later.

Outside the south gate of Langzhou, there are already crowds of people, as the Wuping Festival Governing Office, the civil and military officials of all sizes in the city gather here to welcome the triumph of the marshal and others. These people have been wisely aware of the weight of this far-known Li Marshal since he took office a few months ago, and not to mention his brilliant achievements and fame, the age of 21 alone is enough to make people reverie.

Youth is capital, not to mention the grace of His Majesty? Everyone is begging for a living under the hands of the youngest festival envoy in this Tang Dynasty, and naturally hopes to be able to rise with it, who can be absent from today's glorious moment to welcome the triumph of the handsome?

After a grand greeting and excitement, Xu had the previous experience of Linyuan City, although Li Yuan returned to his base camp, he was not too excited, but he maintained a steady smile throughout the whole process, and soon entered the city surrounded by all the civil and military forces.

After returning from this victory, Li Yuan rode back first, but in fact, he was just worried about the emptiness of the garrison in the city, so he returned like an arrow. There are also clever figures among the officials and the military generals who stayed behind, and before they arrived at the Jiedu Embassy, they took the initiative to report to Li Yuan on important military and political affairs along the way.

Regardless of whether it was mixed with water or not, Li Yuan had some consideration in his heart, and had already explained a number of affairs to the right-hand man Xu Kuangheng, but only told Zhu Wenwu to meet tomorrow to discuss matters, so he stopped talking, and hurried to the palace office.

Li Yuan once felt very puzzled, his itinerary had been sent back to the mansion in advance, and they should have known their return date, but looking back, it seemed normal for the female scroll not to show up at will, and his heart was gradually relieved.

On the street near the Wuping Jiedu Embassy, the situation is very unusual. When Li Yuan and his entourage galloped to the fork in the road, they found that heavily armed soldiers and horses were patrolling everywhere, which made Li Yuan immediately confused.

What's even more confusing is that the outfit of these sergeants is obviously not the flag armor of the Wuping Army, but the standard forbidden army equipment of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you must know that since Li Yuanjian's Festival, although the command is still controlling the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army of the Weisheng Army, whether it is the forbidden army or their own local subordinate army, they are all under their own command, so when the sergeants were reorganized in the past few months, they have ordered to unify the army's uniform, and all of them will be changed to Wuping banner armor, which will be called Wuping Army in the future.

Therefore, today's soldiers dressed in the armor of the forbidden army really startled Li Yuan, almost thinking that he dreamed of returning to Jinling, but he was surprised for a moment and quickly reacted that it must be someone from the imperial court. I don't know what to do and at the same time I am a little angry, there is a forbidden army in the imperial court in my own office, whether it is a blessing or a curse, such a big event, why is there no official to report it?

A hundred steps away from the Jiedu Embassy, a checkpoint was set up for Shengsheng, and dozens of soldiers of the forbidden army were shouting and drinking, arrogantly checking the people who came and went, even those in official uniforms. At this time, seeing Li Yuan leading a large group of men and horses galloping from the street, these dozens of forbidden soldiers were extremely calm, and immediately lined up in the middle of the road, raised their spears in their hands and loudly signaled to stop.

A general wearing a tiger helmet armor at the head stood with his hands in his hands and shouted arrogantly: "Stop! Cars and horses are prohibited here, so if you have any urgent matters, please take a detour, otherwise you will not be ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around Li Yuan suddenly changed color, and many civil officials consciously shrank their heads, Xu Kuangheng stepped forward and scolded angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes!" How dare you go wild here?! Where did you come from? Do you know what kind of place this is? ”

The military general on the opposite side estimated that he had not been reprimanded like this since he arrived here, and he didn't know whether he was relying on the people behind him or his own short temper, so he immediately grinned and responded: "Hey! This general is performing official duties here, and you, a scholar, dare to speak wildly? Hurry up and get out of here! Mother's ......"

Seeing that the atmosphere was inexplicably tense, and he was still angry in his own territory, Li Yuan naturally couldn't hold it back, and at this time, he shouted and jumped high, waved his hand decisively and ordered, and hundreds of guards beside him immediately swarmed up, surrounding these forbidden troops who didn't know where they came from.

The situation changed suddenly, the two sides scolded each other, Li Yuan just wanted to urge the horses to come forward to question, and another military general on the opposite side seemed to recognize Li Yuan's figure, and suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Wait! Mo not, Mo is not Li Dashuai here? ”

The arrogant general was stunned, and then a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This, this is Li Dashuai?" ”

These dozens of forbidden soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and their faces were as earthy as wilted eggplants, and even the weapons in their hands trembled a little, who was a soldier in the Southern Tang Dynasty had never heard of the prestige of Li Yuan and Li Dashuai?

Everyone's hearts have been twisted into twists at this time, and they even feel deep remorse, if it really collides with Li Dashuai's big driver, and it is in his territory, the consequences can be imagined, but they seem to have no choice, but the person behind them is also noble and extraordinary, how dare they disobey the order? This soldier is really not good, and it is a job of losing his head left and right......

But seeing Li Yuan riding out of the horse and running towards the roadcar, the two generals restrained their expressions, hurriedly took the initiative to catch up, and bowed their heads and bowed to salute without waiting to get off the horse.

The military general who had already recognized Li Yuan, although he kept his body low, he still couldn't hide his excited look, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he shouted loudly: "The last general, Zou Ping, has seen Li Dashuai!" Do you remember the last general? The last general served for the commander in the palace army before...... However, now the general has been transferred to King Zheng's mansion. General Hu, this is my Tang Dynasty general, Wuping Jie Du makes Li Dashuai! ”

The general called Hu Renxu was already pale, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to take a look when he met Li Yuan, but at this time he knelt directly on the ground and trembled: "The last general, the last general Hu Renxu has seen Li Dashuai!" I really didn't know that it was the handsome man who arrived, and I hope the handsome man will forgive his sins! The last general is on orders, and it is indeed a last resort......"

Seeing that one was very excited, the other knelt on the ground to say mercy, each with its own joys and sorrows, the scene of the two comparisons was really funny, and Li Yuan heard the word "King Zheng", his heart was already turbulent, and he didn't have the heart to reminisce or reprimand at all, so he frowned and asked urgently: "Since you are the forbidden army guard of King Zheng's mansion, why did you appear in my Langzhou City?" ”

Zou Ping immediately replied respectfully: "Great handsome, His Royal Highness King Zheng has come down!" His Royal Highness was ordered by His Majesty to come to Langzhou City Labor Army! ”

With a "boom", Li Yuan's mind instantly seemed to explode, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the gate of the government office not far away, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "When did this happen?" ”
