Volume 7 Chapter 237 Total Reversal
After Linghu was injured and died at the hands of Xie Yunliu, the sky wolf, the earth wolf, and the thunder wolf also gave their heads one after another, and the red-clothed saint Invite Yue was seriously injured under Cao Xueyang's spear, and the red-clothed sect members blocked each other with their lives, escaped, and the wolf tooth army dispersed.
The Tiance army won a complete victory, and the tail chased and killed for twenty miles before collecting the troops and returning to the camp, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses of the wolf's tooth army were lost nearly half, and the mountain wolf couldn't help but be shocked when he received the information brought back by the scouts, and he didn't dare to move forward again, so he immediately ordered the army to turn around and retreat to the tiger prison pass.
However, he did not have any panic, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, as long as he collected the remaining nearly 50,000 defeated soldiers, he would have an army of 100,000 under his command, which was enough to gain a firm foothold in this troubled era and establish himself as a king, and no longer need to be held hostage by An Lushan.
As long as he does not take the initiative to send troops to provoke the Tiance Army and the Tiandihui, he will not be afraid of losing the battle, and then he can completely retreat to Hebei Province and develop with the north as the foundation.
I have to say that the mountain wolf's abacus is really good, but unfortunately he doesn't understand that when there is more Luo Changfeng in this world and there is a Heaven and Earth Society, the situation in this world is no longer under anyone's control.
......
In the battle of Tiance Mansion, the Tiance army defeated the wolf's teeth, and the eastern gateway of the Tang Dynasty was completely stabilized, but this did not bring Li Longji a sense of security, because An Lushan's main force was less than 100 miles away from Chang'an, which can be described as the dawn and the evening.
Li Longji finally couldn't sit still, he secretly ordered Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, to reorganize the six armies and prepare to flee, but he issued a letter saying that he would personally conquer, but naturally no one believed it, and all the officials hid at home, just waiting for An Lushan to arrive, he immediately changed his course and waited for the new emperor.
Of course, Li Longji just wanted to find an excuse to run for his life, and he didn't care whether others believed him or not.
After Chen Xuanli completed the reorganization of the Sixth Army, Li Longji took Yang Guifei, all the princes, imperial grandchildren, princesses, concubines, Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Chen Xuanli, Gao Lishi and other henchmen to flee from Yanqiumen at dawn the next day, and ran out of more than 100 miles in one breath to Dema Weiyi.
It is worth mentioning that Li Longji still has a little bit of the emperor's last conscience, and when he passed through the treasury, he saw that he couldn't take away so much wealth, and Yang Guozhong wanted to destroy it and prevent the rebels from getting it.
Li Longji stopped him, because he thought that the rebels would loot the people if they could not get the treasures, so it was better to leave them to the rebels, so that maybe they could leave a way for the people of Chang'an to live.
However, the day after he fled to Ma Weiyi, the already empty palace ushered in its new owner, and the wealth in the treasury naturally did not fall into the hands of the rebels.
Li Qi took his 40,000 guards and returned to Chang'an halfway, reoccupied the palace, welcomed Li Chongmao into the palace, and ascended the throne as emperor.
As soon as Li Chongmao ascended the throne, he immediately announced to the world, listed Li Longji's 30 crimes, and wrote down his identity and origin in the edict.
Li Chongmao angrily denounced Li Longji in the edict for not taking the throne properly, but after sitting on the throne, he did not exert himself to govern the country, only knew how to indulge in lust and appointed traitors, resulting in chaos in the world and misery for the people.
Now that the rebels are coming to the city, he does not want to stabilize the morale of the army, quell the rebellion, and restore peace to the people, but instead leaves the people behind, takes care of himself and flees, and becomes the son of heaven in vain.
In the end, he said that after he ascended the throne, he would sit in Chang'an and personally command the army to quell the rebellion, so that "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies".
In short, this long edict was dispersed, and Li Longji's reputation was completely stinky, and the people did not know about the royal affairs, and the change of imperial power was not something they could access.
However, in this long edict, Li Chongmao told Li Longji about the coup d'état and the usurpation of the throne, and first put himself on the moral high ground and beat Li Longji as a rebellious minister and thief.
The people are forgetful, and after decades, they have long forgotten the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and only remember the days when the world was full of thieves and the people were not able to make a living.
And Li Chongmao's biggest advantage is the sentence "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies", the people are ignorant, and because of this, it is the simplest and best to fool.
When you Li Longji left the people and fled when the crisis came, what qualifications did you have to sit on that supreme throne and be honored by all the people?
Li Chongmao is willing to use his life to protect the country and live and die with the country.
With the support of public opinion, Li Chongmao's throne can be regarded as half of the throne, and the rest is the army from all over the country, as long as they are dealt with again, the throne will be completely stable.
This edict was not issued by Li Chongmao through the imperial court, because the An Lushan rebels were approaching, and the hundred officials were still hiding at home, no one came out to see the new emperor, and the operation of the imperial court had long been completely paralyzed.
It was the Yin Yuan Society that distributed this long edict, and at this time, the Yin Yuan Society completely replaced the function of the imperial court, and only they had the ability to distribute it to all parts of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time.
And on the second day after this long edict was issued, Ma Weiyi, who was only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, naturally received it.
Chen Xuanli immediately launched a mutiny, beheaded Li Longji's family and all his henchmen, and immediately reorganized the army and rushed back to Chang'an to support Li Chongmao.
At the same time, the main forces of the Tiandihui and the various factions in the rivers and lakes, which had been stationed eighty miles north of Chang'an City, under the leadership of Li Fu, Wang Yifeng, and Tao Hanting, brazenly launched a counteroffensive against the Wolf Tooth Army.
They also did not fight head-on, but waited until night fell, and the Wolf Tooth Army camped and carried out a night attack.
Everything was as Luo Changfeng expected, on the frontal battlefield, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society could not deal with the neatly arrayed army, but in the night melee, the Wolf Tooth Army became the target of slaughter.
The army led by An Lushan and Shi Siming is naturally a large number of masters, and the top masters are the red-clothed sect leader Assasin and the moon worship elder Blacktooth Yuanyu.
The top masters include Star Picking Elder Su Mansha, Assasin Male Pet Peony, Nayun, Tanxue, An Yu, Fufeng, Wind Wolf Gar Dongzan, Water Wolf Yin Suyan, Fire Wolf Ainur, Zewolf Yelu Yan, etc.
There are seven or eight hundred first-class masters, more than 2,000 second-rate masters, and even more third-rate martial artists, but martial artists below the second-rate level are not much stronger than ordinary people when facing the core disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they are still killed with one sword, so no matter how many third-rate martial artists there are, it is useless.
This kind of strength is really not weak, if it is just the Heaven and Earth Society, they may not be able to eat, but they are not fighting alone.
The main forces of Chunyang Palace and Qixiufang are in Luoyang to support Tiance Mansion, and the Wanhua Valley is only a disciple of the Medicine King who goes to Luoyang, mainly as a military doctor, while only some of the beggars, Changgemen, Tibetan Sword Villa and other sects go to Luoyang, but the main force is in Chang'an.
