Chapter 16: Chang'an City retreats from Li Yuan
After the news of the death of Wang Shichong, who was left behind in Luoyang, spread the next day, the government and the opposition in Luoyang City were shocked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when the people in Luoyang City were panicking, Yang Ming took Yang Xuyan into the Luoyang Palace and met Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Xiao Liu Liangdi.
After Wang Shichong's death, although Dugu Valve controlled the Luoyang Imperial Court, the only person who could succeed Wang Shichong as the new master of Luoyang City was Yang Ming, who held an army of 100,000 Xiaoguo.
Perhaps because of the advice of his mother, Liu Liangdi, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was not only respectful and polite when he saw Yang Ming, but also asked Yang Ming to stay in Luoyang City to preside over the government.
After Yang Ming rejected the kindness of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, he introduced Yang Xuyan, the descendant of the abolished prince Yang Yong, to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Liu Liangdi, and also proposed to let Yang Xuyan lead 50,000 Xiaoguo troops to guard Luoyang City.
When the abolished prince Yang Yong rebelled and was exterminated by Yang Guang when Emperor Wen Yang Jian died, it can be said that Yang Xuyan and Yang Guang's people have a life-and-death enmity that is not shared.
Hearing that Yang Ming was going to hand over Luoyang City to Yang Xuyan, Xiao Liu Liangdi was so frightened that she almost cried, and even Yang Tong, the king of Yue, looked at Yang Xuyan with fear.
However, Yang Ming has made up his mind, so naturally he will not care about the thoughts of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Xiao Liu Liangdi.
And Yang Xuyan is very ambitious, before Yang Ming really tears his face with him, I think Yang Xuyan will not be so stingy that he will embarrass Wang Yang Tong and Xiao Liu Liangdi.
After leaving Ma Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu to lead 50,000 Xiaoguo troops to guard Luoyang City and obey Yang Xuyan's orders, Yang Ming continued westward with 50,000 Xiaoguo troops and Wang Shichong's 60,000 troops to Chang'an City.
At this time, it was already November of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and after Yang Ming passed through Hangu Pass with an army of 110,000 troops, he received the news that Li Yuan's 100,000 troops surrounded Chang'an City.
After all, Chang'an City is a thousand-year-old ancient capital, and if the civil and military officials in Chang'an City can do their best to defend the city, even if Li Yuan's 100,000 troops are dead, it will be impossible to capture Chang'an City.
It's a pity that Yang Guang's actions betrayed the door valve of the world's family members, and the door valve family headed by Dugu Valve in Chang'an City not only would not resist Li Yuan. And it will also open the city gate and let Li Yuan's soldiers occupy Chang'an City bloodlessly.
For example, among today's anti-thief forces, the Li family that occupies Taiyuan is a second-rate anti-thief force like Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, and in the eyes of the world, it is not as good as Wagang Army and Hebei Dou Jiande.
But as long as the Li family occupies Chang'an City and obtains the 800 miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, they can form the atmosphere of the Qin State sweeping Liuhe during the Warring States Period.
And only if the Li family occupies Chang'an City, and Cihang Jingzhai openly supports Li Shimin, it will not be regarded as favoring the Li family.
It can be said that after the Li family rebelled. Being able to occupy Chang'an City and Qinchuan, eight hundred miles from Guanzhong, Li Tang is a dragon who is expected to dominate the world.
If it can't occupy Chang'an City and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, then the Li family is a worm entrenched in Taiyuan.
Chang'an City is of vital importance to the current Li family.
But for Yang Ming, it didn't matter at all whether the Li family could occupy Chang'an City and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong.
Not to mention that the Li family occupies Chang'an City and Guanzhong, even if the Li family gets Bashu, as long as Yang Ming breaks into the Li Tang Palace with one sword and kills Li Yuan's father and son, the Li Tang country can be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
However, although Yang Ming didn't care whether Li Tang could occupy Chang'an City and Guanzhong, he couldn't allow Li Shimin to enter Chang'an City and take Yang Ji'er for himself.
In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, when Yang Guangnan went to Jiangdu, Yang Jier stayed in Chang'an City, the western capital. Together with the crown princess Wei, he took care of Yang Yun, who was only eleven years old at the time.
If the Li family occupies Chang'an at this time, Her Royal Highness Yang Ji'er, the princess of the proud daughter of the Great Sui royal family, will definitely be accepted by Li Shimin as his own as history.
Hearing that Li Yuan's 100,000 army surrounded Chang'an City, and Chang'an City could be captured at any time, Yang Ming handed over the 110,000 army to the general Chen Botu to lead, and Yang Ming himself urged Zhenyuan to use light skills to rush towards Chang'an City.
When Yang Ming spent 20% of his strength from Hangu Pass to Chang'an City, he saw that the four gates of Chang'an City were surrounded by a large army, and the sunset was in the afterglow. Not only did Li Yuan's army not engage the army defending the city, but the north gate of Chang'an City was also open to the 30,000-strong army led by Li Yuan.
Yang Ming was a step too late after all. At present, Chang'an City has become Li Yuan's bag.
Although Yang Ming's martial arts are extremely strong and he can come and go freely among thousands of troops, this does not mean that Yang Ming can fight with tens of thousands of horses.
Even if it was Yang Ming, it was impossible to prevent Li Yuan's 100,000 army from entering Chang'an City with the strength of one person.
Seeing that Li Yuan sent 3,000 men and horses to take over the north gate of Chang'an City, and then Li Yuan began to enter Chang'an City surrounded by Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, Chai Shao and others, Yang Ming took a deep breath, and then jumped to the wall of the north gate of Chang'an City and flew over.
When Yang Ming's figure landed on the wall of the north gate of Chang'an City. The Li family soldiers who had just taken over the city wall would wave their swords and spears and rush in front of Yang Ming, and just before these Li family soldiers would swing their swords and spears at Yang Ming, Yang Ming raised the sword finger in his left hand and spit out a six-foot-long red qi sword that swept towards the bodies of these soldiers.
Whew, smmm
After the red qi sword swept over, the Li family soldiers who rushed in front of Yang Ming cut their bodies into two parts. A strong smell of blood wafted over the walls.
At this time, Li Yuan's father and son had already arrived under the city wall and were about to enter Chang'an City through the north gate.
Just as Li Yuan rode his horse into the North City Gate, Yang Ming's right hand sword pointed downward, and a red sword qi spewed out and rushed towards Li Yuan below.
Although Li Yuan is not a famous master in the rivers and lakes, he is not only an innate master, but also has profound skills, which is on par with the Jiumo Zhi of the Heavenly Dragon World.
Sensing a sword qi coming towards him from above, Li Yuan flew up and left the horse, and while the others were still in mid-air, he saw Yang Ming's sword qi piercing through the back of the BMW he was riding, and then Li Yuan's BMW fell to the ground with a hiss.
After Li Yuan landed on the ground with palpitations, he looked up at Yang Ming on the city wall.
Seeing that Yang Ming's left hand was slaughtering the Li family soldiers on the city wall with an air sword, Li Yuan said loudly with a solemn face.
"Your Excellency's martial arts are strong, but you are here to kill ordinary soldiers for fun, aren't you afraid of causing public anger in the rivers and lakes?"
Although Li Yuan had heard of Yang Ming's name, this was the first time Yang Ming and Li Yuan had met, so Li Yuan didn't know Yang Ming's identity.
Seeing that Li Yuan's righteous words below were full of majesty, Yang Ming said with a laugh.
"Li Yuan, Li Yuan, let's not say that I killed these generals just to protect myself, they rebelled against you and made trouble, they would have been damned. I killed them just to eliminate the Great Sui rebels. ”
At this time, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning had already recognized Yang Ming's identity, and after the two came to Li Yuan's side to explain, Li Yuan nodded and said.
"It turns out that you are Your Majesty's righteous son Yang Ming! His Royal Highness the Righteous King, now that the traitorous ministers are in charge of the government and deceived the emperor, I, Li Yuan, have raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch to support Yang Yu, the acting king, to become the new emperor. Your Majesty is the Emperor, do you want to stop my 100,000 army from entering Chang'an City?"
Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring expression on Li Yuan's face, Yang Ming shook his head and said teasingly.
"Even if this king has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to block the army of 100,000 alone! But the soldiers of the Li family in Chang'an City can enter, and whoever wants to enter Chang'an City, Li Yuan, father and son, will kill whoever this king wants. ”
Hearing Yang Ming's threat, Li Yuan had an irrepressible angry expression on his face.
At present, although Chang'an City has become the Li family's bag, if Li Yuan can't personally enter Chang'an City to appease the gate valve families in the city, once those gate valve families change their minds, it is especially unknown whether Chang'an City can belong to the Li family.
But let Li Yuan forcibly enter Chang'an City. Li Yuan really didn't have the guts.
It was precisely because Li Yuan was an innate master with profound skills that he understood that if Yang Ming really wanted to kill him, the thousands of troops around him would not be able to protect him at all.
Seeing that Li Yuan's face was complicated and silent, Li Shimin said aloud beside him.
"Daddy, don't worry, the child will send the Xuanjia Spirit Rider to drive Yang Ming away. ”
As Li Shimin waved his hand to give the order, five hundred heavily armed Xuanjia elite cavalry rushed into the north gate to climb the city wall, and then rushed towards Yang Ming with a steel sword.
Each of these Xuanjia Elite Riders has martial arts equivalent to second-rate masters, plus they wear iron armor to form a battle formation. Not to mention the innate masters, even ordinary grandmaster masters can't compete head-on with the five hundred Xuanjia Elite Riders.
Five hundred Xuanjia elite horsemen rushed over in clusters. Even Yang Ming showed a solemn expression, and his right hand held the hilt of Ziwei's soft sword.
Just when the Xuanjia Elite Rider was less than two feet away from Yang Ming, with a bang, Yang Ming pulled the Ziwei soft sword out of its sheath.
The purple sword light swept out, and the bodies of the dozen or so Xuanjia Elite Riders who rushed to the front were cut into two pieces with their iron armor, and then Yang Ming urged the Talisman Qi to rush into the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry.
Bang, bang, bang!
The surrounding Xuanjia elite riders continued to slash the steel knife towards Yang Ming. However, their steel knives couldn't even break Yang Ming's protective qi.
As Yang Ming wielded the Ziwei Soft Sword, every time the purple sword light flashed, there would be about ten Xuanjia Elite Riders' bodies connected to the iron armor and their bodies cut off by the sword qi.
Scream, wail, blood!
When Yang Ming stopped killing, all five hundred Xuanjia elite riders turned into corpses and blocked the city wall, and the ground around them was already stained red with blood.
When Yang Ming's figure stood on the city wall again, looking down at Li Yuan's father and son below. Li Shimin said loudly with an ugly face.
"Your Royal Highness the Righteous King, how are the five hundred Xuanjia Elite Riders I sent over?"
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up and said with a sneer.
"The Xuanjia Jingqi is worthy of being your Li family's soldiers, and they didn't escape until the last person died. ”
"How is it possible? How can you kill five hundred Xuanjia Elite Riders with the power of one person?"
Although Li Shimin's martial arts are not weak, he is not even a congenital master, and with his own vision, he doesn't even believe that the power of one person can truly match thousands of troops, and he doesn't believe that martial arts cultivation to the extreme can really break the void and become a celestial.
It's a pity that Yang Ming happens to be a peerless master with two hundred years of amazing skills, not to mention five hundred Xuanjia elite horses, even tens of thousands of Xuanjia elite horses Yang Ming can kill them all with one person and one sword.
However, the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry is an elite army cultivated by the Li family with all their financial resources, and although there are only 3,000 Xuanjia Elite Cavalry now, it can rival 100,000 ordinary troops.
Yang Ming had just killed five hundred Xuanjia Elite Riders, and at this time, Li Shimin was not only angry on his face, but also felt like he was dripping blood in his heart.
After all, although Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng is not in charge of military power, he has the support of many civil ministers and military generals under Li Yuan's command
Fight for the world's dependence on the throne of Li Tang.
Although Li Shimin is the true dragon son chosen by Fan Qinghui, the thief nun of Cihang Jingzhai, Li Yuan is still the master of the Li family at this time.
Even if Ning Daoqi gave Li Shimin the criticism of helping the world and the people, it cannot be denied that Li Jiancheng is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and even Li Jiancheng, who is a woman, is more suitable to inherit Li Yuan's throne than Li Shimin.
So until Li Shimin killed his brother in Xuanwumen, Li Yuan did not abolish Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince.
It's a pity that Li Jiancheng's woman's benevolence not only harmed him, but also harmed him and Li Yuanji's wife and children.
Yang Ming's gaze looked down at Li Yuan, and from the face of this old fox, he really couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart.
But as Emperor Taizu, who founded the country of Li and Tang, Li Yuan is actually more worthy of the four words of the First Emperor of the Ages than Li Shimin, and in his heart, Li Yuan actually hates Cihang Jingzhai on behalf of the Chosen Emperor of Heaven.
It's just that the Li family has not yet dominated the world, and if they want to achieve hegemony, the current Li family is inseparable from the support of Cihang Jingzhai.
"Li Yuan! This king's martial arts are not at all what you can imagine, I advise you not to let ordinary soldiers come to me to die! If you want to enter Chang'an City, either wait for this king to leave Chang'an City before entering the city, or you can ask Fan Qinghui, a thief nun from Cihang Jingzhai, to gather a group of old bald donkeys to kill this king. ”
The news that Ning Dodge stole the jade seal of the country has now been spread all over the world.
It is said that Ning Daoqi will hand over the heirloom jade seal to the holy lady of Cihang Jingzhai in Luoyang City, and then the princess will hand over the heirloom jade seal to a true dragon emperor.
At this time, Ning Daoqi was carrying a heavy treasure heirloom jade seal, and before handing over the heirloom jade seal to his concubine, Ning Daoqi would definitely do his best to hide his traces.
Even if Li Yuan really invited the thief nuns of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui could only summon the empty Zen master and the four holy monks and others to besiege Yang Ming at most.
In the past two years, Yang Ming has absorbed two and a half percent of the Evil Emperor's relics of the essence of martial arts to a higher level.
If he fights Ning Daoqi again, Yang Ming has full confidence that he can completely defeat Ning Daoqi.
Even if Fan Qinghui added the empty Zen master and the four holy monks to besiege him, Yang Ming still had the confidence to win the battle.
Seeing that Yang Ming opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call Fanqing Hui Thief Nun, without putting Cihang Jingzhai at the head of the world's righteous path in his eyes, Li Yuan frowned and said.
"I didn't expect Yang Ming, the righteous king, to be so arrogant...... Isn't Your Highness really afraid of being the enemy of the righteous path of the world?"
Yang Ming said with a disdainful sneer.
"The right way in the world? Li Yuan, do you think that Fan Qinghui, a thief nun, can really represent the right way in the world? This kind of thing is as ridiculous as the family of the gate valve can represent the grass people in the world!"
Of course, Li Yuan did not believe that Cihang Jingzhai could represent the righteous path of the world.
Although Ning Daoqi, the first person in the Daomen, has now become the free thug of the Buddhist lackey Cihang Jingzhai, Ning Daoqi is alone, and he can only represent himself, not anyone in the Daomen.
Now that the Daomen are declining, they can't compete with the Buddhism led by Cihang Jingzhai, but it would be a big joke to say that the Daomen would support Cihang Jingzhai.
However, the Buddhist Sect led by Cihang Jingzhai is indeed the strongest force in the righteous path now, and even the Daomen and the Demon Gate together cannot compete with each other.
Although the Demon Gate has two six sects and eight masters, only the evil king Shi Zhixuan and the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan are masters of the grandmaster realm.
Before obtaining the essence of the Evil Emperor Relic, Ning Daoqi could crush Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan alone.
Even if Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan's skills have increased greatly, the two of them can't compete with Ning Daoqi, Likong Zen Master, the Four Great Holy Monks and others.
It is precisely because Cihang Jingzhai has such a strong strength that after receiving the support of Cihang Jingzhai, Li Yuan will confidently begin to dominate the world. (To be continued.) )
