The Luoshui River passes through the city, dividing the entire Luoyang city into two halves, the north and the south. The Imperial City is located to the northwest of Luoyang City, and its end gate is just facing Luoshui. There are three bridges on the Luoshui River connected to the south city, namely the Huangdao Bridge.

, Tianjin Bridge and Xingjin Bridge. At this moment, Gao Bufan was standing on the top of Duanmen, looking solemnly at the Tang army passing through Tianjin Bridge like a tide.

Since the Tang army appeared here, Wang Xuanying was obviously defeated, but Yuchi Jingde hadn't arrived yet. Could it be that the old captain really lost his temper this time?

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde rode across the Tianjin Bridge and arrived in front of Duanmen. At this time, the rising sun happened to be rising in the east, and the rising sun first shone on the tall Duanmen, dyeing half of Gao Bufan's body golden.

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde both noticed the young man standing at the gate at this time, and their expressions changed suddenly. The latter even blurted out: "Gao Changqing!"

Li Xiaogong was slightly shocked. Although he didn't know Gao Bufan, when he saw this man's demeanor, he knew that his origin was not simple. It wasn't until the eldest grandson Shunde uttered these three words in his mouth that he suddenly realized that this son was actually the famous King of Qi.

——Gao Changqing!

Changsun Shunde's expression changed. At this time, he finally understood why the internal response failed, and why Wang Xuanying suddenly withdrew his troops. He dared to use Gao Changqing's superior move and took the lead in taking control of the imperial city.

"Changsun Heng'an, you are really a good son of my eldest son's family!" Changsun Shunde stared at the eldest son Heng'an beside Gao Bufan, his expression indescribable bitterness.

The eldest grandson, Heng'an, said calmly: "I forgot to tell Uncle Shunde. King Qi had already approached Heng'an before you."

Changsun Shunde nodded and said: "So you used the trick and acted as a double agent to help Gao Changqing monitor our every move, while Gao Changqing used us to contain most of the defenders in the city and took the opportunity to control the imperial city."

The eldest son, Heng'an, said calmly: "That's true. However, Uncle Shunde also had a back-up plan. Yu Wenhu, who was guarding the Jiuzhou Gate, turned out to be one of yours. This shows that Uncle Shunde did not completely trust Heng'an."

The eldest grandson Shunde also said calmly: "Everyone has his own ambitions and his own masters, so Uncle Shunde doesn't blame you, and you don't blame Uncle Shunde either!"

Changsun Chang immediately snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Changsun Shunde, what about you kidnapping Heng'an's wife and children?"

Changsun Shunde sighed and said: "I originally thought about the safety of Heng'an's wife and children, and had no intention of causing harm. Now it seems that I did something wrong."

"Not only did you make a mistake, you made a big mistake. As you said, everyone has his own ambitions and his own masters. I don't blame you for working for Li Tang, but you should not treat your clansmen in such a despicable way.

From now on, my Changsun Chang's branch will have nothing to do with your Changsun Shunde's branch, so you can take care of yourself!" Changsun Chang said sternly.

Changsun Shunde nodded bitterly: "That's fine. From now on, you and I will completely sever all ties. From now on, life, death, honor and disgrace will have nothing to do with each other!"

After Changsun Shunde finished speaking, his eyes turned to Gao Bufan, he cupped his hands in the distance and said: "King Qi is so courageous. He actually sneaked into Luoyang with a rich body to do things. It is really admirable. If I knew that King Qi was here, I would definitely not do it.

We will find Changsun Heng'an."

Gao Bufan said calmly: "That's just because you underestimated me!"

Changsun Shunde shook his head and said: "I dared to underestimate King Qi, but I just made an omission. I didn't expect that Wang Shichong, a cunning man, would be deceived by King Qi. If my prediction is correct, King Qi stationed outside Liyangcang actually

It’s just a stand-in to hide it from others.”

Seeing that Gao Bufan did not deny it, Changsun Shunde continued: "King Qi's move to escape the golden cicada is really wonderful, but I have something unclear. Since King Qi sneaked into Luoyang City, why did he not arrange for foreign aid? Do you really think that he can do it by himself?

Can we capture Luoyang City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fire shot up into the sky in the direction of Jianchun Gate. Gao Bufan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, because this was the signal he had agreed with Yuan Chengye. As long as Yuchi Jingde led his army into the city, he would set off a fire in the direction of Jianchun Gate as a signal.

"How do you know that I have not arranged for foreign aid?" Gao Bufan smiled and pointed: "Hey, aren't the foreign aid coming now?"

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde looked back subconsciously and found that there was nothing unusual about Dingdingmen Street behind them. Just when they thought they were being tricked by Gao Bufan, the ground shook slightly.

"No, it's the cavalry!" Li Xiaogong was indeed a veteran of many battles, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats was soon faintly heard. First, countless Tang troops appeared in sight, discarding their helmets and armor. Then, a group of armored cavalry with animal patterns rushed out across the field, chasing down those Tang troops like chopping melons and vegetables.

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde were all trembling with fear. After defeating Wang Xuanying, they divided their troops into two groups and pursued them all the way east to Jianchun Gate. The other group went straight to the imperial city in the north of the city. Now they were chased and massacred by the Qi army's cavalry.

This Tang army was the one that went east to pursue Wang Xuanying.

"Withdraw!" Li Xiaogong was decisive and immediately ordered the withdrawal, bypassing the imperial city and fleeing to Hui'an Gate in the north.

This time, in order to take a boat down the river and attack Luoyang City by surprise, all the 10,000 Tang troops led by Li Xiaogong were infantry. If it were a positional battle, Li Xiaogong was still confident that he could give the cavalry a showdown, but this is not a positional battle, and

Still losing the opportunity, the opponent's cavalry drove a group of defeated troops on their side to kill them. Without the opponent's cavalry taking action, their own position would have to be disrupted by the routed troops. At that time, it would be difficult for Da Luo Shenxian to attack.

save.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong decisively led his troops to evacuate, which felt a bit like a poisonous snake stinging his hand or a strong man cutting off his wrist!

A trace of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes. This Li Xiaogong really lived up to his reputation, and his reaction was quite fast!

At this time, the defeated troops of the Tang Army scrambled to escape across the Tianjin Bridge. Yuchi Jingde also arrived with his cavalry, biting their tails and killing them with one blow. In an instant, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and there were many corpses. The Tang troops on the bridge jumped over one after another in order to escape for their lives.

Jumping onto the Luoshui River from the bridge railing is like dropping dumplings.

Yuchi Jingde ignored the Tang army that jumped into the river, led his cavalry directly across the bridge, and continued to pursue Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde in the direction of Hui'an Gate. As long as the Tang army was completely dispersed, the rest would not pose a threat.

At this time, Gao Bufan also decisively ordered the right door to be opened, and led the palace guards to rush out and beat up the drowned dog.

Gao Bufan ordered someone to fetch a war horse and chased towards the Hui'an Gate with a knife. Whether it was Li Xiaogong or Changsun Shunde, they were all rare talents. Even if they could not be captured alive, they must be eliminated!

Now Gao Qi and Li Tang are at odds with each other. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself, so every effort must be made to weaken the other side.

Let's say that Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde led nearly 3,000 Tang troops to rush out of the city from Hui'an Gate and fled all the way north. Yuchi Jingde led his cavalry in hot pursuit, killing the Tang troops, leaving behind their helmets and armor, and fleeing for their lives.

.

After chasing for more than ten miles at a stretch, Yuchi Jingde finally caught up with Li Xiaogong's flag. His spear flew and he stabbed several of Li Xiaogong's soldiers off their horses. Li Xiaogong himself lay on the horse and was about to rush into a dense forest.

Inside, there was only a crashing sound, and a sharp arrow shot through the air and hit Li Xiaogong's horse.

The horse screamed sadly, lost its front hoof, and fell violently on the edge of the woods. Li Xiaogong on the horse obviously fell badly, and struggled for a long time but could not get up.

Yuchi Jingde was overjoyed. He rode his horse forward, lifted Li Xiaogong up with his hand, and laughed loudly: "I caught a big fish!"

At this time, Gao Bufan also arrived on horseback, holding a bow in his hand. He obviously shot the arrow just now.

"Prince Qi, we have finally caught Li Xiaogong!" Yuchi Jingde grinned and came towards Gao Bufan.

Only then did Gao Bufan see the front of "Li Xiaogong" clearly. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "This person is not Li Xiaogong, we have been fooled!"

It turns out that this person is indeed not Li Xiaogong, he just changed into Li Xiaogong's clothes. No wonder he has been lying on the horse to hide his figure.

When Yuchi Jingde heard that this person was not Li Xiaogong, he couldn't help but became furious. He grabbed the person's collar and raised it above his head, and asked sternly: "Who are you and where is Li Xiaogong?"

This man was tough and said with a sneer: "I am General Manager Li's personal soldier. Now I am in your hands. I want to kill or behead you. You can do whatever you want. How can there be so much nonsense!"

Yuchi Jingde said with a cruel smile: "Okay, then I will help you!"

Yuchi Jingde was about to break this man's neck, but Gao Bufan waved his hand and said: "General Yuchi, let him go. This man is a good man and his loyalty is commendable!"

When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he threw the man off his horse and said coldly: "You are lucky, run away for your life!"

The man glanced at Gao Bufan with complicated eyes and was about to leave when Gao Bufan suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

The man stopped and sneered: "The majestic King Qi, are you going to go back on your promise?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that I regret it, I just asked you to give Li Shimin a message. Tell him that Luoyang City already belongs to me, and I am determined to win Hanoi County. Let him return to Changping County.

.”

The man frowned and said, "King Qi is very domineering. What if King Qin doesn't obey?"

"Then I will order Li Jing to take Hedong. When the time comes, he will not be able to retreat even if he wants to." Gao Bufan said calmly.
