Chapter Forty-Nine: Rushing to the Heavens
Chen Cang.
The Son of Heaven who is on the go, walking on the road of displacement, is not much better than ordinary people. However, Li Yan's mood was sunny at this time, because he was going back to Chang'an, and the Beijing division was in Li Ye's hands. King An's twists and turns showed that the other party was ready to welcome him back to the court, not only the palace was cleaned up, but also there were 100,000 Pinglu troops on his side to ensure his safety.
Li Yan got up very early today because he didn't sleep well at all last night. From Chengdu to Chencang, the tiring journey was washed away by the joy of returning to Chang'an, and Li Yan didn't sleep all night with excitement. Fengxiang Mansion is adjacent to Chang'an Mansion, and when you arrive at Fengxiang Mansion, will Chang'an be far away?
There is no doubt that it is not far at all, what is the difference between Fengxiang and Chang'an?
The red sun rose on the eaves, Li Yan held the wine glass in his hand, looked at the red sun at the door of the main hall, and also looked at the place where he was about to return, unconsciously showing a smile, the smile was as bright as the morning glow, and once it appeared, it lingered.
"Brother Ye recaptures Chang'an...... I knew that Brother Ye would definitely recapture Chang'an, when did Brother Ye disappoint me? Defeat the rebellious army, kill Huang Chao, and restore the Beijing Division, such a feat, apart from Brother Ye, who else in the whole world can do it? What Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong, compared with Brother Ye, are like local chickens and dogs!"
Li Yan drank all the wine in the cup, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly bowed forward and filled it for him, and when the other party poured the wine, Li Yan couldn't help but share his joy with the other party and the joy of the Tang Dynasty.
"Come, you have a drink with me!" Li Yan waved his hand, called for another wine glass, and said to the eunuch who poured the wine with a smile on his face.
"The villain doesn't dare. "The eunuch was honestly afraid.
Li Yan laughed and stuffed the wine glass into the eunuch's hand, "How dare you not accept my reward?"
The eunuch trembled, clenched the wine glass with both hands, and saw that Li Yan had been cleaned, so he hurriedly raised his head and drank it.
"Okay! You are all my good courtiers, and when I return to Beijing, I will definitely reward you generously, and I will never treat you badly!" Li Yan was in a good mood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" the heavens sent blessings, and the eunuch hurriedly bowed.
Li Yan looked at the red sun on the eaves, bathed in the morning sun, but his eyebrows suddenly had a trace of melancholy: "It's been more than three years." Brother Ye, you and my brother, I haven't seen each other for almost four years, and time flies really fast. I think back then, you and I were playing in Chang'an, lingering in the Qinglou, drinking and having fun with the Qing Oiran, singing poems and harmony, how high-spirited it was. Now, it hasn't been seen in years. Sometimes, I really want to go back to those days, relaxed, without the worries of state affairs, happy and happy, even immortals can't compare, right?"
Li Yan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if he had seen the scenes of drinking and singing in the past, the corners of his mouth gradually curled, and the arc was warm.
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came and reported to Li Yan urgently: "Your Majesty, General Chengcheng, the official of the Pinglu Army, asks to see you." ”
"Shangguan Allure?" Li Yan was stunned, and then showed a sudden look, "Brother Ye's mansion is the commander of the personal guard." Why did she come to Chencang, did Brother Ye send her to pick me up? Or Brother Ye was thoughtful, announce it quickly!"
Xu Yu, a general in silver armor and white robes, followed a eunuch into the gate and soon came to Li Yan.
"Minister, the Pinglu Army Shangguan Chengcheng, see Your Majesty!" Shangguan Chengcheng leaned over and clenched his fists.
"General Shangguan doesn't have to be polite, tell me quickly, why did you get here, where is King An?" Li Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
King An then arrived, and the special ministers came to greet him first. Your Majesty, in the territory of Fengxiang, a large number of monks from the King Kong Realm of Shimen appeared, their intentions are unknown, the movement of Fengxiang's army is different, and the ministers have come to protect Your Majesty!"
Li Yan was stunned, his eyes were full of doubts and confusion, he took the fold, and was about to open it to read, at this time, Tian Lingzi came in a hurry, looking anxious, and as soon as he arrived in front of Li Yan, he hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Fengxiang army made a big move and blocked the front and rear roads!"
"Feng Xiangjun?" Li Yan glanced up at Tian Lingzi in confusion, "What is Li Changyan doing here?"
"I'm just afraid...... There is the intention of holding the Son of Heaven hostage!"
"What?" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Li Changyan how dare he?!"
Tian Lingzi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, yes or no, Your Majesty only needs to announce Li Changyan to come to the audience, and you can know." If he dares to come to the audience, then Feng Xiangjun is not holding the Son of Heaven hostage, if he doesn't dare to come, it means that he already has a second heart!"
Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan!"
Tian Lingzi promised: "Yes." Xuan, Fengxiang Festival envoy Li Changyan, audience!"
After the eunuch who ordered the order went down, Li Yan was silent for a while, his face was not very good-looking, and when his eyes flashed over Shangguan Allure, he suddenly remembered Li Ye's twists and turns, and hurriedly opened it to see.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that Li Ye was in the fold, and it was also written very clearly, that is, he suspected that Li Changyan was in collusion with Shimen and had bad intentions, and suggested that Li Yan let the wolf teeth guard the side after Shangguan Chengcheng arrived, and stopped hurrying, waiting for him to come in to answer.
If Li Changyan launches an attack on the Shence army, let Li Yan not panic, and do not retreat into Shuzhong, he must wait until he arrives. In the recital, Li Ye also told Li Yan that Liu Dazheng had led the elite of the 30,000 Ping Lu army and was on the way to come.
Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng dispatched one after another, but the march of the 30,000-foot cavalry army was a little slower, and it couldn't catch up with the speed of the 3,000 wolf teeth, but it wouldn't be delayed for too long, so that Li Yan would definitely stabilize.
Li Yan read Li Ye's letter, his heart was already turbulent, and his face was even whiter. Although Li Yan is not a Ming Jun, he is not stupid, he just doesn't want to take care of the country, he likes to enjoy and have fun, what kind of character Li Ye is, Li Yan knows it clearly.
Since Li Ye has said this part, then the matter of Li Changyan's rebellion will not be separated from ten, and then combined with the report of Tian Lingzi, it can be imagined what the current situation is.
As expected, after the eunuch who gave the order came back, he reported to Li Yan, "Li Changyan said that he occasionally felt cold and was bedridden, so he could not come to see His Majesty. He also said......"
Li Yan was short of breath: "What else did he say?!"
The eunuch trembled: "Li Changyan also said that His Majesty returned from Chengdu and had a long journey, so please move to Fengxiang Mansion for a while, and he will serve Your Majesty with all his heart." ”
At this point, the situation has been cleared, and Li Yan is trembling with anger: "What if I don't go?"
The eunuch was uneasy: "Li Changyan said that the Fengxiang army will escort His Majesty." ”
Li Yan was so angry that he kicked on the eunuch and roared angrily: "Li Changyan he dares?! He dares to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and rebel like that dog thief in Huangchao?! How dare he?! He is not afraid that King An will lead the army to kill him, destroy his Feng Xiang, and destroy his nine clans?!"
Li Yan was furious, roared in place for a while, and overturned all the wine glasses and jugs held by the eunuch behind him, and then he barely suppressed his anger.
Huang Chao attacked Guanzhong, unexpectedly, Li Yan was forced to go west to Chengdu, all the way to worry, tired of travel, finally arrived in Chengdu, day by day looking forward to the fall of Huang Chao, he returned to Beijing.
Now, Huangchao has finally been pacified, and Chang'an has also been restored by Li Ye, and Li Ye's joy can be imagined. This time, I returned all the way with joy, ready to go back to Chang'an to enjoy life, but I didn't expect Fengxiang to run into Li Changyan.
Li Yan is not stupid, he can't know that the world is in chaos. It's just that the front foot was driven away by the Huangchao rebel army, and the back foot was held hostage by the Jiedu envoy, Li Yan even if he was a mud bodhisattva, he had three points of anger, where could he still bear it now, and immediately ordered Tian Lingzi: "Li Changyan dares to be a rebel and thief, I can let him be wiped out, and give the order to the Shence army to attack the Fengxiang rebels!"
Tian Lingzi's face changed greatly, how did this make it, although the Shence Army had 100,000 soldiers, the Fengxiang Army was not less than the Shence Army, and it was the elite of the Great War, all of them were wolves and tigers.
Except for about 10,000 soldiers in his Shence army, who have a little combat strength, the rest are new soldiers. Not to mention going to the battlefield, if they haven't even practiced well, how can they be the opponents of the Fengxiang Army? Let them attack the Fengxiang Army is like sending them to death.
Tian Lingzi hurriedly persuaded Li Yan to calm his anger, so that he could talk badly, and finally let Li Yan stop.
In the end, Li Yan passed down an edict to let all the soldiers and horses come to Fengxiang, exterminate Li Changyan, and accept him to return to the court.
The people who passed the edict acted quickly, but under the blockade of the Fengxiang Army, it is unknown whether those who passed the edict could get out of Chen Cang.
Li Changyan is naturally not bedridden, he is in the Fengxiang Army at this moment, followed by Li Maozhen, Wang Jian and others.
After a while, a horse galloped over and replied to Li Changyan: "Marshal, the officers and men of all departments are in place and can act at any time." ”
The action that the cavalry said was naturally to kidnap Li Yan to Fengxiang. No matter how much Li Yan has 100,000 divine troops around him, it is impossible to obediently obey just because of Li Changyan's words, so this battle is inevitable.
Li Changyan was on the back of the horse, his eyes were wide, and he nodded when he heard the words, what he should say had already been said to the soldiers, and there was no need to mobilize at this time, he directly ordered: "Welcome the Son of Heaven to Fengxiang!"
The generals received the order, and each of them dispersed, and hurried to the direction where his troops were. Li Maozhen and Wang Jian glanced at each other and left at the same time. The two of them are very close to each other, so the two are walking together.
Halfway through the journey, Li Maozhen said to Wang Jian in a cold voice: "Today, do you really want to be a chaotic minister and thief?"
Wang Jian remained silent: "The general trend is the trend, what can I do?"
Li Maozhen stopped talking.
Wang Jian laughed: "The wolf teeth have already come, it depends on when King An will arrive." ”
Li Maozhen's eyes lit up, and then her eyes flickered several times, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then separated from Wang Jian and went to her place.
About half an hour later, the Fengxiang army launched a siege on the Shence army.
