Chapter 103 I hold the bow and arrow, and the public holds the lance with me, although millions of people are like me!
For Yan Zhuang's proposal, An Lushan was of course very satisfied. But even if he has no culture, he knows that he shouldn't be too eager.
So after he asked for three resignations in a formulaic way, on the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, he officially ascended the throne in Luoyang Palace on the spot, with the country name Dayan, the year name Shengwu, and the capital Luoyang.
And there is a more funny historical blind identification device about this matter, but if you hear anyone boast that both sides of the "Battle of Xiangji Temple" think that the other party is a rebel, you can stretch your feet. When the fight began, it had been a year and a half since An Lushan became emperor, and Emperor Dayan had changed from An Lushan to An Qingxu. Even if you are a fool among the rebels, you should know that you don't have the surname Tang to change your surname to Yan.
As for saying that the Tang army killed 60,000 in eight hours, this kind of thing is just a matter of listening, and those who don't know think that the Tang army is holding a lightsaber and a letter to cut it. The first one-sided battle of 60,000 troops a day can be traced back to the Somme River in 1916, and it was still the casualty figures of poison gas bombs, artillery, Maxim, and the head charge of the British generals.
What's more, this battle was blown as a turning point in the Anshi Rebellion, and this kind of historical blindness is really enough. You say he was a turning point for the Tang Army? No, the Tang army won Chang'an and Luoyang, but it was defeated and lost in Yecheng, and since then it has fallen into the tragedy of unlimited conscription and conscription among the three officials and three farewells...... You say that he is the turning point of the rebels, which is even more wrong, the rebels are also gasping for breath after fighting Yecheng.
The biggest impact of this battle is that the battle was won, and in fact, the official name is not called the Battle of Xiangji Temple, but the "Battle of Recovering Chang'an".
If it is said that 60,000 rebels were killed in the entire process of recovering Chang'an, it is still reasonable.
The topic turned back to the present, and the news of An Lushan's proclamation as emperor in Luoyang soon spread back to Chang'an. But the hearts of the people of Chang'an are very big, and this year is still a year of lanterns, red wine, and green land, and it is even happier than before An Lushan's rebellion.
There are three reasons why they are happy: first, Li Longji finally abdicated; second, Yang Guozhong and other traitors were exiled or executed, which was very happy; The third and most important point is that Emperor Taizong returned like lightning! Come! Finish!
That man, he's back spicy!
Therefore, this year is not only to celebrate the New Year, but also to celebrate the manifestation of His Majesty Taizong.
For Li Longji's evaluation, Chang'an people are now gradually letting go of themselves, and all kinds of jokes about Li Longji are endless, in addition to the earliest Li Qing made up the "Datang is saved", there are also things such as if someone killed him fifteen years ago, then his death contributed more to Datang than the rest of his life combined.
What else is "he raised the average age of the court, but lowered the average IQ", this is made up by Li Qing as soon as he hears it.
The sons of the good family are entrenched in the county government every day, or the yamen of the forbidden army, all they want is whether they can join the army, and they have no other meaning - they just want to follow Emperor Taizong to quell a rebellion and sweep away the ministers.
The yamen, who was annoyed by the harassment of the good families, had no choice but to ask Li Shimin's opinion.
After comprehensively considering the actual situation in Tongguan, Li Shimin issued an order to appease the emotions of the sons of good families, and moved them with affection and reason, which stopped the trend of joining the army.
After spending the fifteenth day of the first lunar month peacefully, the rebels, under the personal leadership of An Lushan, claimed to be 200,000 troops, marched all the way to Tongguan.
It's not that rumors have reached An Lushan's ears, but he doesn't believe in Emperor Taizong's apparition at all, let alone that Li Longji will be easily deposed from the throne.
In his opinion, this was just Tang Ting's suspicious strategy, and if he wanted to make him jealous and give up attacking Tongguan, he knew Li Longji too well. Although the old man is a foolish old fool, he is like an old spider lurking in Daming Palace, no matter what troubles there are in Chang'an, he will be clear about it.
Since Tang Ting released smoke bombs, it must be the emptiness of Tongguan, when will it be better not to attack at this time?
After learning the news that the rebels were marching towards Tongguan, Li Shimin returned to the Zhenguan Dynasty and brought Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong to Tianbao for 15 years, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and quell the rebellion.
The only pity is that the passage for the army to enter other planes has not yet been opened, otherwise Li Shimin would definitely bring the Xuanjia Army here.
On the third day of February, An Lushan's headquarters arrived in Shaanzhou.
On the top of Da Xian Mountain, Li Shimin had already arranged for people and horses to set up an ambush. He didn't have many people with him, but he picked five hundred elite horsemen. In terms of nature, it belongs to the two poles with dates and no dates, if An Lushan's people are on the set, it is an unexpected surprise; If you don't put it on, you don't have much to lose.
"Brother Xian, do you dare to go with me to the rebels?" Li Shimin turned over and sent an invitation to Li Qing.
"I'm not going." Li Qing fussed the back of his head, and said with a dry smile, thinking that this kind of thing has to be brought with me?
"Oh? Isn't Brother Xian afraid? Li Shimin laughed heartily, it was not easy to find a place in the virtuous brother verbally.
Li Qing rolled his eyes, he didn't care about any face, and told him very clearly: "Yes, I am indeed a little afraid." ”
"Then I won't force a good brother." Li Shimin didn't force it, he turned around and left.
Li Qing hurriedly shouted to him: "You wait, I won't ride a horse...... You wait for me to go with you in the whole car. ”
"In the midst of the battle, how can you take the carriage?" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Xian is still waiting here, and he will come when he goes." ”
As he spoke, Li Shimin turned the horse's head and rode away with Wei Chigong, who was carrying a weapon that looked like an extended version of a toilet brush.
Li Shimin had not run two steps before he heard a strange roar from behind, and he turned his head to see that a strange iron box that he could not see clearly was driving towards him with billowing smoke and dust; When he drew his arrows and stretched out his bow and arrows, he also came closer. The person sitting in the belly of the iron box was none other than his good brother Li Qing.
"Brother Li!"
Li Shimin watched Li Qing get the transparent thing off the side of the iron box, and stretched out his head to greet him. At the same time, the strange iron box made a screeching noise.
"Brother Xian, what is this?"
Although I didn't know what this iron box was, this thing full of masculine and domineering beauty still deeply attracted Li Shimin's attention at the first time.
"I'm a horse too!" Li Qing said loudly.
"Horses? I don't think so! Li Shimin leaned over and touched up and down like a curious baby, and the horse under his seat kept snorting, as if he was refusing to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors with this "same kind".
Yu Chigong also came up, patted him up, patted him down, and said to Li Qing with a smile: "King Qin, I don't think it's like it, this horse doesn't have a mouth when he looks at it, he shouldn't eat forage, right?" ”
"Of course not, this is the car I just mentioned, called 'Hummer'!" Li Qing introduced very solemnly.
"Hummer? Truly brave! Li Shimin's eyes were shining, and he looked at Li Qing's treasure horse with envy.
Of course, Li Qing knew what he meant, so he smiled and said to him: "When the battle is over, this car will be delivered to you, but the premise is that you have to learn how to drive." ”
"Oh, virtuous brother, there is a way that a gentleman does not win the love of others...... Li Shimin is still humble, in fact, he is already thinking about whether to add Zhaoling Six Horses to Seven Horses, just engrave this "Hummer"!
Li Qing glanced at him: "Empty head, if you don't want it, forget it!" ”
"Hey, brother Xian, I'm just polite to you, tell me about you, why are you so unfunny!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be anxious.
"Harm, send you, send you." Li Qing said with a smile, "I'm not joking with you, Brother Li, I really don't know how to ride a horse, so I can drive...... The target of this car is a bit big, don't scare the rebels away, I'll just stand on the side and watch for a while. ”
"No problem!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and high-fived Li Qing: "It's so decided, after I go back, Brother Xian will teach me to drive!" ”
Before Li Qing could speak, Wei Chi Gong came up with a salivating face.
"King Qin, look at this ......"
"Steamed buns, do you want them too?" Li Qing looked at this black gundam-like man with a shy look on his face, and he had goosebumps a little.
Wei Chi smiled and said, "Haha...... King Qin is really powerful, and he can see through what Lao Hei is thinking at a glance...... In fact, to be like this, well, Hummer, is not the purpose, the main thing is to show off in front of Cheng Lao Goblin. ”
"No problem, but this can't work, I can only give you a smaller one than this." Li Qing stretched out his hand and patted Wei Chigong's horse's head: "After all, you don't want to trespass, right?" ”
"That's nature, that's nature!" Wei Chigong's mouth was grinning like a lotus, "Then thank you King Qin!" ”
chatting along the way, it didn't take long to reach a short distance from the rebel camp.
"Brother Li, you go first." Li Qing thought for a moment, took out a megaphone from his bag, and handed a strong bow that had been transformed by a pulley to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took the bow and pulled a full moon with a slight pull.
"This bow is not good, brother Xian, it is light." Li Shimin handed the bow back.
Li Qing didn't answer, but said, "You try to put an arrow up." ”
Li Shimin did as he was told, and opened his bow and arrows in one go, and pointed an arrow at the trees on the side.
With a buzz, the arrow shot through the tree.
"Shhh...... This bow ......" Li Shimin looked at the bow in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't put it down.
This is as precious as a rare treasure for a man who is good at shooting.
"There's a megaphone over there, you press the button on the top and aim the narrow end of it to your mouth and you can speak." Li Qing introduced the horn again.
Li Shimin looked at the horn and strong bow in his hand with satisfaction, and he almost didn't think about it, so he threw the original treasure carving bow into the car.
Oh, man, you always like the new and hate the old.
He rode his horse and left with Wei Chigong, and rode away at the rebel camp.
Not far from the main gate of the camp, Li Shimin stopped his horse and said to Wei Chigong beside him: "Jingde, do you remember what I said to you back then?" ”
"Of course I do!" Even if Li Shimin doesn't say it, Wei Chigong will never forget it.
"Hahaha......" Li Shimin smiled happily and said to Wei Chigong: "I am holding a bow and arrow, and you are holding a horse lance to follow me, even if he is a million army, what can he do?" ”
"yes, even if it's a million troops, what's going on!" Wei Chigong smiled heartily.
"But if they see me and run away, it's not interesting." Li Shimin smiled, stretched his bow and arrows and said to Wei Chigong: "Jingde, guess this distance, can I shoot the person on the watchtower on the left?" ”
"This ...... It must be nearly 200 steps, right? Wei Chigong made a slight visual inspection, couldn't help but play with it, and said to Li Shimin: "The minister bets a hundred times, and bets that His Majesty will not be able to shoot!" ”
Li Shimin laughed: "Then Jingde, you will prepare a hundred pieces and send them to the palace!" ”
As he spoke, the arrow shot out, and the man in the watchtower on the left fell down with his face covered.
"Your Majesty's majesty, not less than the year!" Wei Chigong said with emotion.
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, and reached out to touch the horn next to him: "You listen to me!" Tang thief marshal Li Shimin is here! ”
After that, another arrow shot the soldier who was checking on his teammate's injuries with one arrow.
"Tell your traitor leader, An Lushan, and let him come out and fight me to the death!"
The sound of the loudspeaker was very loud, and it soon reached An Lushan's ears.
"Arrogance! Arrogant! An Lushan was like thunder, especially after learning that there were only two people on the other side after passing from the front, he became a master of desktop cleaning.
He shouted and scolded: "Who dares to go to war and take down this thief who pretends to be a ghost with me!" ”
He was confused, but the generals under his account were not confused, and they were all muttering in their hearts what method this person used to let the voice reach the big tent of the Chinese army.
But no one dares to say that the current An Lushan's temper has become worse and worse since he ascended the throne, and he will cut people at every turn. Now even if anyone has an opinion, they don't dare to raise it in person, they are afraid that they will be angry with An Lushan if they are not careful, and it is a trivial matter to be beaten, mainly for fear of losing their heads.
"Cui Qianyou!" An Lushan named the name of the first brave general (so-called) under the tent.
"The last general!" Cui Qianyou came out of class and hugged his fists.
"You lead a few people to take down those two fanatics for me! Life or death! ”
"No!" Cui Qianyou didn't dare to slack off and took the order.
Regarding the statement that there are only two people on the other side, Cui Qianyou does not believe it. To be on the safe side, he chose thirty battle-hardened horsemen, took their spears and turned over on their horses, and headed out of the gate.
What he didn't expect was that there were really only two people standing there waiting for him on horseback.
"Come and get your name!" Cui Qianyou carried a spear and pointed at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin tugged on the reins and said loudly: "I am Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!" Who is you? ”
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Cui Qianyou didn't believe it at all, could he, Li Shimin, have the leisure to crawl out of the grave? Besides, even if he really crawled out, with his golden body, how could he personally rush into battle?
He didn't believe a word of the records in the history books. In his opinion, it was nothing more than Li Shimin making it up blindly by himself, in order to promote his martial arts.
He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, since you don't tell the truth, then I will have to let you be a nameless ghost!" ”
"Left and right! Above! With a spear in his hand, the cavalry on both sides of him got the order and rode their horses to charge in the direction of Li Shimin.
