Chapter 1563: Mu Xuxuan
The speed of the enemy's retreat made Ye Li and the others feel like they were in a tiger's tail, and in his opinion, Li Rulin should choose to fight to the death.
Because the other party chose to rebel, if it failed, it would mean that there was no place for him in the entire Tang Kingdom.
Now the purpose of following his army is to get more benefits, not to send them to death.
If Li Rulin can't seize the throne, how can he afford to raise such a huge army on his own, the number of 100,000 soldiers, without the strength of a country, it is difficult to feed them.
Now that Li Rulin chooses to retreat, it means that he has basically given up the struggle for the throne, so the army under his command will directly choose to surrender in most cases.
After all, most of the soldiers are innocent, and they will only act according to the arrangements of the generals, and if they choose to surrender at this time, they will basically not be punished.
But the current situation is that all the legions so willingly choose to follow Li Rulin, which makes everyone have a trace of doubt in their hearts.
"They just withdrew their troops, so where are the troops going to withdraw, does Li Rulin plan to leave the Tang Kingdom with so many tens of thousands of people, so what will they eat and rely on along the way.
There is also how to allocate the cultivation resources of these people, and it is impossible for the soldiers to be willing to live with the wind and food and sleep in the open like this. ”
Huo Xing looked at the retreating enemy troops from a distance and said.
The enemy troops who fought with the Zhenzhong Army also left the battlefield at the first time, turned around and chose to evacuate, the whole process was somewhat calm in Ye Li's opinion, as if they had been prepared.
Li Rushan stood on the city tower, seeing the troops surrounding him withdrawing, his face suddenly showed joy.
But then he frowned again and said, "Their retreat is so easy and natural, can it be said that they still have a base to go back, and then continue to rebel!"
Why does everyone look like they are in order, it's really abnormal!"
Looking at the enemy's retreat to the northwest, Li Rulin was a little confused.
The same is true for the Tiankui Fu Saint next to him, they are all well versed in the way of the battlefield, and the performance of the soldiers can basically reflect a lot of situations, such as the current situation, which has already shown that this matter is not over at all.
They can't get back those rebellious troops at all, whether they are soldiers or officers, they will follow Li Rulin and evacuate.
The loss of nearly 100,000 troops at once is also a heavy burden for the Tang State, and the national strength does not know how much it will decay.
Now that the enemy forces have gathered and moved closer together, with the number of 100,000 troops, they can completely suppress Bian Yingying and Ye Li's side.
Therefore, Ye Li and Bian Yingying did not dare to pursue, so they could only watch each other leave.
After Li Rulin's army completely walked out of everyone's sight, Bian Yingying hurriedly rushed to the bottom of the city tower with people.
"The minister's rescue is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"
Bian Yingying bowed down towards Li Rushan.
Li Rushan looked at Bian Yingying and other reinforcements from all walks of life on the city tower, and said: "Hero, you came at the right time, why are you late, this time it is really thanks to your rescue, otherwise I Tang Jingcheng would not have lasted long." ”
As he spoke, Ye Li also walked over with his two legions.
He didn't say anything to Li Rushan, just said hello with his eyes.
Li Rushan stood on the city tower and showed him a grateful smile, and then said, "Open the city gate and let the hero and Ye Li come in."
All the troops are temporarily stationed outside the city, and tonight I will have a special dinner for all the soldiers.
After that, a reward will come down to reward all. ”
After Bian Yingying and Ye Li each arranged their troops, they followed into Tang Jingcheng, and Huo Xing also followed him.
Originally, Ye Li wanted to ask the second grandmother of the sun and the moon to enter the city together, but after the second grandmother of the sun and the moon was troublesome and knew that Ye Li could not be in danger, she chose to stay on the side of the legion and did not follow into the city.
Soon, Ye Li and the others came to the palace hall with Li Rushan, and at this time, the ministers of Tang Jingcheng had already gathered here, and their faces showed a look of joy.
However, Li Rushan's face was not good-looking at this time, and after he swept around the ministers coldly, he immediately stared at an official with an unnatural expression, and said: "Mu Xuxuan, you are a member of the Mengshan Society, the reason why I have not touched you is not because I don't know your identity, but because I want to secretly observe you and see if I can get any information."
It is definitely impossible for you not to know about this incident, so you can talk about the whole process of Li Rulin's rebellion.
Also, he just chose to retreat instead of fleeing, which means that he has follow-up preparations, you come and tell me what his actions are and what your plan is!?"
As soon as Li Rushan's words fell, several guards next to him instantly walked in front of Mu Xuxuan, grabbed his arm, and forcibly held him down and knelt on the ground.
Mu Xuxuan's face was already pale, and the luck in his eyes just now had completely disappeared.
Previously, Li Rushan had cleaned up a large number of Mengshan Society people in the imperial court, and many of his companions around him had been cleaned up.
Mu Xuxuan, who had never been cleaned up, thought that his identity had not been exposed, so he stayed in the court with peace of mind, and wanted to continue to serve the Mengshan Society.
However, the reason why Li Rushan didn't send someone to move him was just to leave a thread, so he didn't find out directly until now.
Mu Xuxuan, who was pressed to the ground, looked at Li Rushan, who had an extremely stern expression, and was a little speechless for a while.
He thought that he would not be exposed, who knew that the crisis in Tang Jingcheng had just been lifted, and he had already been dragged out.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... The minister is wronged.
Wechen doesn't know anything, Wechen is not a member of the Mengshan Society!"
Mu Xuxuan also wanted to make a final denial and refused to admit his identity.
Li Rushan glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you think it's okay if you don't admit it, but I know very well that you, Mu Xuxuan, are the deputy hall master of the Red Flower Hall of the Mengshan Society, and he is responsible for contacting the Mengshan Society."
Since you are the gateway for intelligence to enter and exit, it is natural that you know a lot of information, and if you don't say it today, I think I will have many ways to get you to confess. ”
As he spoke, a cold light was released in Li Rushan's eyes, staring at Mu Xuxuan, making the other party shudder.
Mu Xuxuan knew that he was in a catastrophe this time, and he originally thought that Li Rulin would be able to successfully take the Tang capital this time and ascend the throne as emperor.
A high-level member of the Mengshan Society like him will naturally follow Zhongfei Huang Tengda and climb to a higher position.
However, it backfired, and Li Rulin's defeat made his expectations come to naught.
