Chapter 118: Support
At this time, the sun gradually sets, and the cold wind gradually hits with the darkness.
The Xuanjia Iron Rider is a cyborg created by the system, and the physical strength is set according to the upper limit of the human body.
Even though they wore more than 100 catties of iron armor and fought hard for several hours, they still had the strength to spare.
But the state of the Mo Sword Army is not optimistic.
Most of them couldn't lift the one-foot-long Mo Knife, and each slash became limp and weak, and they were easily dodged by the Xuanjia Iron Horse.
"Brothers, work hard, the enemy can't hold on, we work together, we will definitely be able to break through the enemy formation and survive!"
Lu Bu did not forget to turn back to boost morale in the gap between the fights.
Inspired by this, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry immediately became more energetic, and once again rushed towards the enemy formation.
"Brothers, kill!"
"For Your Majesty!"
"For Datang!"
The earth-shattering shout rang out again.
Wang Zhongsi looked at the Xuanjia Iron Rider who was alive and vibrant, and there was no trace of anxiety in his heart.
He knew it was the end of the crossbow.
Even if the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was able to break through the Modao Formation in the end, half of the Hexi Army behind would be able to stop it.
"Even if these three thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry are all iron-beaten people, they will be cut into iron filings under the Modao team of our Shuofang Longyou Alliance."
Wang Zhongsi picked up the waist knife with a relaxed expression, and waited for the Mo knife array to be penetrated, and then led his own soldiers to guide the Hexi army to block the enemy as soon as possible.
"Time is on our side, our army is several times larger than the enemy, and even if it is consumed, the enemy can be consumed to death."
Huangfu Weiming stroked his gray beard, and his expression was also relaxed.
Standing in their positions, the battlefield situation of nearly 300,000 people can be seen.
The 10,000 Modao army delayed the attack of 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry.
The 120,000 Shuofang Longyou coalition army is contending with the 70,000 soldiers and horses of the 16th Guard of the Southern Ya, and the battle line has been pushing forward. After a maximum of one hour, it can completely surround the three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.
The 30,000 light cavalry of the Hexi Army led by Xiao Jiong was also stopped by the infantry of the Hexi Army who surrendered.
If no other forces joined the battlefield, then LΓΌ Bu's defeat was only a matter of time.
β¦β¦
Tongguan.
Li Mao spent the day leisurely again.
Since the siege on the second day of the second month of February, Li Longji has never sent a large army to attack the city, but only sent hundreds of people to harass him every day.
"Your Majesty, did you say that the puppet emperor has given up attacking Tongguan?"
Master Zhao walked up to the city with the edict from Chang'an.
Li Mao casually took off his helmet and looked up at Fenglingdu, only to see a quiet scene there, without the slightest atmosphere of a big war.
"Li Longji's old thing should have given up attacking Tongguan, but we can't take it lightly, what if he comes to attack at night?"
"With Your Majesty here, even if he gives the puppet emperor ten dares, he won't dare to send troops to sneak attack."
Zhao Gao touted as he took out a book and handed it over.
Li Mao opened it and took a look.
This was originally a recital submitted by the monk of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
"Humph! These monks still want to add food? I only eat one meal a day, and my hungry chest is close to my back, and they still want to eat two meals? β
Li Mao glanced at ten lines, and only halfway through it threw the fold on the ground.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, those bald donkeys in the Great Ci'en Temple must be stupid in chanting Buddhist scriptures, and the old slave will ask the celebrant to send someone to strictly check whether they have obeyed the holy decree issued by His Majesty."
Zhao Gao hurriedly motioned to the little eunuch behind him to pick it up with his eyes.
Li Mao glanced at Zhao Gao deeply, and said expressionlessly: "The celebrant doesn't need to send someone, just take care of your own affairs, and let the Yushitai send someone to check it." The monks didn't have much food in stock, and even if they wanted to eat two meals, they couldn't find it. β
When the Great Mercy Grace Temple was raided before, Li Mao ordered Dongchang to empty the entire temple.
Not only was the gold dust scraped off the Buddha statue, but even the rice that had been ground in the kitchen was not spared.
It is estimated that the household department will not give them food, and those monks may have to eat grass roots and gnaw tree bark.
Zhao Gao's idea was also hidden.
Of the three great eunuchs in the celebrant eunuch, he was the only one with the least power.
Zhang Youfu is the eunuch of the palm seal, and he can be regarded as the leader of the celebrant eunuch.
And he, a eunuch with a pen, can only be regarded as the second-in-command, and everything is subject to Zhang Youfu.
Originally, there was also a Wei Zhongxian, who was in a lower position.
But Wei Zhongxian controls the most powerful institution in Datang, Dongchang.
The prestige of Dongchang is well known in the Guanzhong area, and even the children who herd cattle on the side of the road will tremble with fear after hearing the word Dongchang.
Yesterday, Zhao Gao wanted to shoot Li Mao's dragon fart and went to Huayin County to find a woman from a good family.
As a result, he met the woodcutter in the mountains halfway, and they all regarded him as a member of the East Factory.
How could Zhao Gao not be envious, jealous, and hateful?
"The old slave obeyed the order, and after waiting, he immediately arranged for someone to notify the cabinet and strictly investigate the monks of the Great Ci'en Temple."
Zhao Gao understood that the temptation had been seen through by the emperor, and his heart was raised to his throat.
After seeing that Li Mao had no intention of blaming, he hurriedly handed over the second letter, wanting to divert his attention.
"Huh!"
As soon as Li Mao opened the fold, he let out a sneer.
"I don't know what's going on in Chang'an City, it's all so troublesome."
When Zhao Gao heard this, he wanted to stretch his neck to peek at the content of the fold, but he just happened to meet Li Maosen's cold gaze.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
He immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty.
Li Mao directly threw the fold into Zhao Gao's arms, and scolded angrily: "Li Linfu's dog thing really doesn't make me worry at all. Now that the enemy's army is pressing, he still has the heart to engage in infighting. β
Since Li Linfu's comeback, he has been at odds with his second assistant Xiao Song.
Zhao Gao thought that the content on the song was the content of Li Linfu's attack on Xiao Song.
But when he opened it, his jaw dropped when he was shocked by what was written inside.
"Li Linfu, the first assistant of the minister's cabinet, Xiao Song, the second assistant of the minister's cabinet, Yang Shenjin, the secretary of the minister's Ministry of Rites, Wei Jian, the secretary of the minister's household department, and Zhou Ziliang, the minister's imperial doctor..... Concerted performance. β
Zhao Gao only saw a large list of names on his head, and his scalp was tingling.
Immediately understood that what was written later was definitely not a trivial matter.
Sure enough, as his gaze moved, the content that followed confirmed his conjecture.
The ministers in Chang'an City jointly wrote to the emperor, and they actually wanted Yang Yuhuai to come to Tongguan with the concubines of the harem at this time.
According to these people's arguments, that is, the emperor did not give birth to a son, and their ministers who followed the rebellion were uneasy.
I'm afraid that in the end, I will be busy with work, but I will end up empty.
"Are these people too deceitful?"
Li Mao's voice carried a deep chill.
Zhao Gao couldn't help but fight a cold war, pretending to be stupid and said, "The old slave doesn't understand what His Majesty means, they are all thinking about His Majesty!" The harem ladies give birth to the prince as soon as possible, and it can indeed calm the hearts of the subjects of the world. β
