Chapter 47: Moang Leaves, Rebels End
Mo Ang looked back at the imperial city and pondered for a moment, he beckoned, and the mana worked, and he withdrew the Kunyuan water dividing cover that was shrouded in the imperial city back into his hand.
After that, Mo Ang said to Tang Xuanzong, who was standing on the wall of the imperial city, "Emperor Tang, hello. I am the prince of the Xihai Dragon Clan, and this time the dragon came to the capital to cause trouble, all because I was not strict in discipline in the West Sea, and committed the crime of negligence. Our West Sea Dragon Clan will not let the dragon hurt the Tang Emperor in the slightest, and I hope the Tang Emperor can rest assured. ”
"Thank you Shangxian, this time to save my Datang from danger. Such kindness must be remembered by us. I don't know if that dragon will still come to invade my Tang capital", Tang Xuanzong asked calmly.
"This, please Tang Huang, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I think after this incident, the dragon should not come here easily again, but today, due to my mistake to let the dragon escape, just in case, I will give you a few life-saving things now", Mo Ang thought for a while, and a celadon jade bottle and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve and sent them into Tang Xuanzong's hands.
"Shangxian, what is this?", Tang Xuanzong asked suspiciously.
"This celadon jade bottle contains ten pills of Qi Benefiting Pills, for a mortal-level martial monk, if you take one pill of Qi Benefiting Pill when your True Qi is exhausted, the True Qi in your body will be completely restored in six snaps of your fingers. However, it is important to remember that it cannot be taken continuously in an hour, and its effects cannot be applied to the same person in an hour. And this jade slip has a trace of my divine consciousness attached to it, if the dragon comes to the capital again, you crush this jade slip, I will be able to know, and I will come quickly at that time. However, this jade slip can only be used when the dragon appears. If there is a rebellion by the human race, I hope that the Tang Emperor will forgive me, although we are immortals, and our mana reaches the sky, but there are restrictions from the heavens, and we cannot easily meddle in the affairs of the world.
"It's okay, Shangxian, you have already helped us once. My Tang Dynasty knows how to be grateful, and I will not force it. I don't know if the immortals can stay here for a while, so that I can also enjoy the friendship of the landlord", Tang Xuanzong responded very humbly.
"Emperor Tang's kindness, Xiaolong understands it. Now that the dragon has left, it is useless for me to stay here, I will take my leave, and ask Emperor Tang to take care", Mo Ang rejected Emperor Tang's kindness, and floated away with the auspicious clouds.
"Congratulations to the immortals", Tang Xuanzong shouted respectfully on the walls of the imperial city.
"Congratulations to the immortals", the ministers behind Tang Xuanzong also shouted respectfully.
After Mo Ang left from the sky, Tang Xuanzong's face changed, and his original respectful, kind and polite expression became gloomy and terrifying, and the ministers around him did not dare to speak easily.
Tang Xuanzong took the lead in breaking the deadlock and asked, "Where is General Zuo Qiu Shenji?"
"Qiu Shenji is here", General Zuo Qiu Shenji hurriedly replied.
"What is the situation of the rebels now? Why are there no more soldiers attacking the city?" asked Tang Xuanzong.
"Your Majesty, the last general also thinks it's quite strange. Since the arrival of that immortal, the momentum of the rebels' siege has become weaker and weaker, and even now the rebels can no longer be seen, could it be that the rebels have already run away with their tails between their legs when they see that something is wrong. As usual, it shouldn't be, because Shangxian didn't help us deal with the rebels at all, with the scale of the rebels' troops and the means of using the army, as well as the number of soldiers we currently have in the palace, they shouldn't give up so easily, as long as they have been frantically attacking the city and sacrificing some soldiers, we can't resist it at all", Qiu Shenji also had a confused expression, although it was okay to let him lead the troops to fight, but for analyzing problems, that was not his strong point.
"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's guess, is it the brocade guard led by the Ministry of War, who made some trouble in Luoyang City, so that the rebels could not cope with it before and after, forcing the rebels to take the lead in retreating", at this time, Zhou Yan stood up, although he and Fu Tianqiu have only been together for less than ten days, but after this series of things, Fu Tianqiu gave him the feeling that he was planning to do things and then acting, a feeling of wisdom in his hand, he knew how to use tricks, was good at covering himself, and guessed people's hearts. But also, as the fierce wolf commander of the Blue Wolf Guard of Prince Qing's Mansion, he can go undercover in the capital for so long, and he has also become the position of the secretary of the military department, one of the six departments in the imperial court, how can he just be as honest and amiable as he seems to be. Therefore, Zhou Yan suddenly thought of Fu Tianqiu's team who had quietly left the palace, thinking that it might be their credit.
"Well, it is also possible for Cheng Qingjia to say this. Jia Jingzhong, is there any news from outside the palace?, how did the military department Shangshu Tianqiu complete their task?", Tang Xuanzong pondered for a moment and asked Jia Jingzhong, the eunuch of the ceremony.
Because at this time, the commanders of the four Jinyi guards around him were not there, and only the eunuch Jia Jingzhong had always mastered the connection with the Jinyi guard, so Tang Xuanzong asked him.
"Your Majesty, as far as the slave knows. Before, the latest news from the Jinyi Guard's side said that Fu Shangshu had met with the Xuanwu Commander, and they led three hundred Jinyi Guards to sneak attack the generals and soldiers guarding the imprisoned generals in Luoyang City, rescued them, and then prepared to stir up trouble everywhere in Luoyang City. After that, there was no new news", Jia Jingzhong, the eunuch of the ceremony, hurriedly responded to Tang Xuanzong's question.
"Hahaha, okay, Fu Qing's family did a good job, it seems that the rebels are already in a mess now, otherwise, they would not have retreated in such a hurry. This time, I want to see how Li Xiao responds, since I want to raise troops to deal with me, I must have the consciousness of failure", Tang Xuanzong laughed.
"Your Majesty, now we should take advantage of the general trend and immediately pursue the victory, and don't give the rebels a chance to turn the tables", Zhou Yan saw that Tang Xuanzong had no intention of sending troops, so he said.
"Cheng Qingjia is right, but I am a little proud, now is indeed not the time for us to be truly happy. Jia Jingzhong, how many men and horses are there in the army that has arrived outside Luoyang City, and report the military situation", Tang Xuanzong asked.
"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, Mingwei General Li Zhiyong led 60,000 Shence troops from Bianzhou at dawn, and has now arrived outside the city, waiting for His Majesty to send him. Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order", Jia Jingzhong reported.
"Very good, pass on my message, order the military department Shangshu Fu Tianqiu and the generals defending the city to immediately organize soldiers to defend to prevent the rebels from destroying many houses and facilities in Luoyang City and injuring the common people in a hurry, and also ordered Li Zhiyong, the general of Mingwei outside the city, to divide these 60,000 Shence troops into three routes, and each led 20,000 Shence troops to seal the east, south, and north gates of Luoyang City, leaving only the west gate. At the same time, the right general Zhang Lu led another 100,000 Shenwei troops to Tongguan as soon as possible, facing east from the heights, and after the rebels fled to Tongguan, they ambushed and annihilated the enemy, so that the rebels did not leave a piece of armor", Tang Xuanzong ordered in an orderly manner.
"The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid will go to convey His Majesty's meaning", after the celebrant eunuch Jia Jingzhong received the order, he left leisurely, and passed the will of Tang Xuanzong through the Jinyi Guard, and carried out the blocking of Li Xiao, the king of Langya.
............
In a lifetime, the white clouds are long, time is like a lonely boat with the rapids of the river, involuntarily rushing by, in a blink of an eye, a week has passed since the day of the rebellion of Li Xiao, the king of Langya.
The ending is clear, Li Xiao, the king of Langya, took a wrong step, naturally he was defeated like a mountain, one wrong step and one wrong step, and in Tongguan, he was ambushed by the right general Zhang Lu led by 100,000 Shenwei troops.
In that war, there was only fire and smoke in the sky, and only fear and death in the battlefield. One soldier after another on both sides fell to the blood-soaked ground, their fingers clenched into fists as if they were trying to grasp the lost life...... The arms gradually drooped, and the fingers gradually relaxed.
The generals and captains of both sides, and his soldiers died on the battlefield. Finally, I can sleep and rest in peace.
It seems that the ending is like what Tang Xuanzong wrote, leaving no rebels behind. However, the only surprise is that the former young owner of the Qingxin Tea Workshop, the current rebel military division, Yuan Zhen, turned out to be a warrior of the God Realm, and in the end, under his hard fighting, he led Li Xiao, the king of Langya, and his more than 4,000 remnants of the defeated generals to flee to the Western Regions.
Although the ending was not very satisfying, Tang Xuanzong didn't care. Because, in his opinion, Li Xiao, the king of Langya, who is already a lost dog, is no threat to him at all. Even if he is let go, so what? Li Xiao, the king of Langya, who once had many elite soldiers, did not succeed in rebelling, not to mention that he now only has more than 4,000 remnants of the defeated army.
After that, he rewarded the generals and civil officials who had contributed to this battle, and Zhou Yan also received a reward, and he replaced the position of Chi Zhenjin, the secretary of the Dali Temple who had died, and became the new Dali Temple, but unfortunately, Zhou Yan didn't care about this.
Tang Xuanzong didn't want to pursue Langya King Li Xiao too much, because when he was fighting against the dragon, he used the true dragon secret method, which consumed too much of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune, although he had already taken a pill of Qi Benefiting Pill left by Mo Ang to restore his true qi, but the power of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune that he had consumed before could not be replenished. He was a little tired, no, it should be said that he was even more panicked, he could clearly perceive the gradual decline of Datang's national fortunes, he didn't know when Datang would decline, but now he knew that this was a doomed result in the future, and he didn't tell anyone about it.
After dealing with the rebellion of King Langya, Tang Xuanzong became even more intensified than before, and even did not even go to the early dynasty, he hung in the harem every day, frolicked with his favorite concubine Wu Huifei, indulged in pleasure, ignored the government affairs, and handed over the political affairs to the prime minister Li Linfu and the eunuch Jia Jingzhong. The only thing he was concerned about was to have the eunuch Jia Jingzhong report to him every day on the completion of the Tongtian Floating Massacre, which symbolized his supreme imperial power.
On this day, in a hidden courtyard in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, Zhou Yan, who had restored his original appearance, sat on a chair solemnly and had an eager conversation with Fu Tianqiu, who was sitting on the side.
"I didn't expect that so many things were involved from a small Dragon King Temple, I am really glad that I let my brother loot the Dragon King Temple first, so that Huo Yi's East Island Gang exposed his feet, and he was involved in Langya King Li Xiao along the vine, and saw through his plan, forcing him to rebel in advance. Otherwise, if his plan is realized, except for his people, all the royal relatives, nobles, high-ranking officials and ministers in Luoyang City will be controlled by Gu worms, and Li Xiao, the king of Langya, can easily take the entire Luoyang City and even the palace without blood. It's thrilling to think about, but I didn't expect that Li Xiao, the king of Langya, who had been silent for so many years, would have such great ambition and power, and even I didn't see it. It's a pity that his luck is not good, and the sky will kill him, everything is fate. But ......", Fu Tianqiu sighed with emotion, and his voice changed.
"However, if Li Xiao, the king of Langya, succeeds, it won't be without us. This can only be said that Li Xiao, the king of Langya, did not have the life of being the emperor, and now, after the rebellion of Li Xiao, the king of Langya, the vitality of the entire Luoyang City was greatly injured, and Xuanwu, one of the two major brocade guards who guarded the Tongtian Futu, has returned to the palace, and Suzaku is still seriously injured and has done nothing, this is a rare opportunity for us. ”
