Li Xuan felt that his feelings towards the world were a bit strange.
At the beginning, he felt that the world was the world, and he was just a worker working hard for the world.
At that time, he was not keen on the so-called revolt at all, but was forced to start business due to this responsibility.
From Taiping to Northern Xinjiang, and then out of Northern Xinjiang, I don’t know when, Li Xuan had a feeling: these are my people.
I can scold and clean up my people, but others cannot.
Anyone who bullies me is my mortal enemy.
Occasionally, he would have the idea that everyone in the world is his younger brother.
Little brother, of course you have to cover yourself up.
On the other hand, Li Xuan never had a good attitude towards foreigners.
He engaged in intrigues with the three major tribes, colluded with the emperor's uncle, no, stabbed each other in the back... Except for a few of his confidants, he had never trusted a foreign race.
But even so, he never thought about massacre of the city.
Therefore, when he heard that the rebels were massacring cities in the south, he was furious.
But it's just anger.
He is beyond his reach.
Moreover, there is always a feeling that it is still far away.
When the people of Guanzhou panicked and worried about the rebels heading north, the distance was suddenly shortened.
The feeling of being bullied and trampled upon came back to him, which made him want to lead an army to break through and intercept all the way, slaughter the beast army and build a palace.
With anger, Li Xuan turned his attention to Zhangzhou.
After capturing Zhangzhou, he took control of the gate of Xiongzhou.
And Xiongzhou is the gateway to the north of Guanzhong.
Therefore, this battle is of great importance.
On the top of the city, Li Xuan looked up at the cliff. Han Ji smiled and said: "When the world is at peace, this place will definitely become a beautiful scenery."
In essence, people who are looking for scenery everywhere are bored and empty.
Li Xuan's mind was filled with the battle, and his analysis of the rebels and Chang'an kept burning his brain every day.
"Your Highness."
Lin Feibao brought news from Chang'an.
"Huahua found some information there."
"Say." Li Xuan patted the cliff, feeling a little cold.
"There were originally twenty-three brothers in Chang Sheng's generation. After that night, only Chang Sheng and three others remained."
There was murderous intent in Li Xuan's eyes, "For outsiders, they don't want to cultivate themselves or understand the great path, but they are seeking death by climbing on the pole!"
Jianyun Temple!
Jiang He'er knew that if His Highness ascended the throne, the destruction of Jianyun Temple would be doomed.
Many years ago, Jianyun Temple was successful and its success was unprecedented. Many years later, retribution is coming.
"Huahua investigated the changes in the emperor's and empress's attitudes towards His Majesty back then and discovered one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"His Majesty once proposed to suppress the annexation of land by aristocratic families."
"Isn't it just a suggestion?" Li Xuan knew about this. At that time, the filial emperor was in view that the carnivores headed by aristocratic families began to annex the land, but the local officials failed to restrain them, or even turned a blind eye, so they banned restrictions.
However, the matter was not followed up, and it was regarded as a major matter of filial piety to the emperor and failure to do his best.
"Huahua followed a descendant of the Yang family and heard him mention this matter. At first, His Majesty investigated the Yang family's annexation of land."
"God!"
Li Xuan covered his forehead.
That old man, he quietly went to check on the Yang family.
wrong!
Li Xuan squinted his eyes, "Inspecting a family like the Yang family must have the approval of the emperor and empress, otherwise if something happens, it will affect the court situation."
Filial piety is not a fool, so naturally he would not do it behind the back of the emperor and empress.
In other words, the emperor and empress knew about it, and even ordered him to investigate the Yang family.
That's a hornet's nest!
My biological father!
…
Yang Xi is a steward of the Yang family who is responsible for inquiring about information.
Before Shi Zhongtang's rebellion, he was responsible for inquiring about information in the south, and he was blamed for it.
According to Yang's internal statement, you were inquiring about information in the south. What did you find out?
Isn't there any trace of Shi Zhongtang's rebellion?
An elder pointed at his nose and sprayed saliva in his face, saying that he had neglected his duties and should be dismissed.
If he hadn't known that the elder's grandson was seeking a position within the family, Yang Xi would have almost believed that he was dedicated to serving the public good.
After a punishment, Yang Xi was sent out to redeem his crime.
Early in the morning, he walked out of the Yang family gate and looked back at the brand new gate and wall. Yang Xi said to his companion Yang Deng: "Back then, Yang Ni once jumped on the horse of the Yang family, and the father-in-law chose to be patient. Now it seems that he should not be patient."
.”
Yang Deng, who had been with him for many years, folded his arms and shook his head and said: "At that time, the abbot did not want to take advantage of Your Majesty, so he avoided the conflict with Yang Ni. If we say he regrets it, His Majesty probably regrets it the most!"
"If Yang Ni had been left behind..." Yang Xi said with a smile; "If Yang Ni had been left behind, northern Xinjiang would have been in chaos. At this moment, Shi Ni's army is pressing down on the border, and Chang'an has no reinforcements."
"Fifth brother, do you really believe that Yang Ni raised his troops to go south to suppress the rebellion?" Yang Deng said with a smile.
"I was just thinking, if I have a horizontal sword in my hand and the enemy only has a short sword in his hand, do you think I need to make an excuse?"
"Your Majesty is Zhengshuo!"
"Zhengshuo?" Yang Xi sneered: "There are a lot of discussions in Chang'an City. Many people say that Your Majesty is stupid. For many years, he only knew how to fight with the abbot and others, treating the world as a chess piece. Now that retribution has come, His Majesty is still hiding in
Enjoying in the pear garden. To be honest, I agree with this. Look at the history books for yourself, what kind of emperor still enjoys himself in the crisis of national subjugation? "
"The king of the country's subjugation." Yang Deng suddenly broke out the golden words.
"That's right, the king of subjugation." Yang Xi said: "The country is about to be subjugated, but he is still singing and dancing in the pear garden to bring peace, alas!"
"But Guanzhong is dangerous and Dou Zhong leads his army back. No matter what, it won't be a problem to hold on!"
The two gradually moved away.
A person came out of the alley not far away, but it was Huahua.
She said to the man beside her: "Go back and tell Mr. Han that I followed Yang's people out of Chang'an."
"yes."
The man looked up and saw that Huahua had disappeared from sight.
After leaving Chang'an City, Yang Xi and Yang Deng headed for Jianzhou.
When we could see Jianzhou City, we also saw a steady stream of troops and civilians rushing forward.
"Why is this?"
Yang Xi grabbed a civilian husband and asked, and gave two cents without leaving any trace in his hand.
The civilian husband said hastily: "The rebels are coming."
"So fast?"
Yang Xi's expression changed.
Jianzhou, this is the last barrier in Guanzhong.
Once Jianzhou is lost, Guanzhong will face an enemy for the first time in hundreds of years.
This meaning could almost shake the Tang Dynasty's rule.
Puff puff puff!
The sound of neat footsteps shook the earth, and the rebels appeared like a torrent at the end of the sky.
Spears stood soaring into the sky, with arrogance and greed written all over their faces.
This is an army that has emerged from the slaughter.
Alien army.
At the foot of Jianzhou City, the general raised his sword and shouted, "Stop."
puff!
The world seemed to be trembling.
Then there was silence.
At the top of the city, guard Chunyu Gu put his hands on the top of the city and said to deputy general Jiao Ye: "The rebels are coming fiercely. We should give them a head-on blow."
"I'm willing to go," Jiao Ye said, handing over his hand.
"Okay, leave quickly and come back quickly. Don't stay in a fight."
"There are a lot of them."
The rebels keep coming.
Wei Ming's central army had not arrived yet. On the way, he heard that when the vanguard arrived at the gate of Jianzhou City, he ordered: "Let the warriors show off their strength."
As soon as the fast horse arrived at the vanguard, the city gate opened wide.
Thousands of cavalrymen rushed out under the leadership of Jiao Ye.
At the top of the city, Chunyu Gu said: "Everyone thought that I would choose to block the city gate, so the enemy's vanguard was slack. This is a surprise."
Jiao Ye led thousands of cavalry and charged in. The rebels were a little panicked at first, but then they launched a counterattack under the command of the general.
"The enemy is outflanking." The situation at the top of the city for both the enemy and ourselves is clear at a glance.
"Ming Jin!" Chunyu Gu waved his hand.
Clang clang clang!
Unwilling to do so, Jiao Ye led his troops to retreat, but the rebels outflanked him and cut off hundreds of his cavalry.
What a risk!
Jiao Ye rushed into the city gate with his troops and shouted: "Seal the city gate."
Carloads of sand and gravel were brought in and dumped behind the city gate.
Jiao Ye went to the top of the city. "The rebels are swift and are a formidable enemy."
Chunyu Gu nodded, "No wonder you were able to sweep across the south. However, you just damaged the morale of the rebels, which is good."
Jiao Ye said, "Should we go to Chang'an to ask for help?"
Chunyu Gu shook his head. "Once we ask for help, some people will criticize me for being incompetent and then attack the Chunyu family."
Many times, war is just a tool for political struggle.
Chunyu Gu smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to defend Jianzhou, but I was chased away. If Jianzhou City is lost, I will be guilty of a big crime, and Chunyu's family will be wronged. By the way, that person can give Chunyu a slap in the face."
"How can your Majesty still remember this after how long has it been?" Jiao Ye felt incredible.
"You look down on him. In his mind, he only has himself and nothing else." Chunyu Gu sneered; "The rebels were so quick to attack the city, but a while ago he had the Chunyu family impeached. Old dog,
Eat well. If I am ruthless enough, I can just let the rebels go, and I will watch them enjoy themselves again when the rebels approach the pass."
Jiao Ye was a little stunned, "You..."
"Thinking too much." Chunyu Gu shook his head, "If I surrender to the enemy, it will bring shame to the Chunyu family. A member of a noble family would rather die than bring down the family."
"The enemy army is coming."
The Chinese military flag is moving forward.
Since the army was raised, General Wei Ming, who led the army to conquer without success, arrived at the city.
"Can we persuade him to surrender?" someone asked.
"It's Chunyu's general flag. There is no need to consider this matter."
Wei Ming said: "The noble family has such a bad habit that they would rather die in battle or kill themselves than surrender."
He raised his hand, "Siege the city!"
The siege began after Huahua arrived.
The shouts penetrated from the top of the city to the inside of the city.
The city is under martial law, but it can't help people like Yang Xi and Huahua.
One after another, they easily avoided the patrolling sergeants and arrived at a certain wine shop in the city.
Yang Xi knocked on the door.
"who?"
"It's Fifth Brother." Yang Deng said.
Squeak!
The door opened, and a man saw Yang Xi and stepped aside to let them in. After they entered, the man poked his head out and looked around.
Before his gaze swept over, Huahua just avoided it.
Squeak!
The door is closed.
The flowers floated to the side.
Just listen to the talking inside.
"The fight has started, why is Fifth Brother here?"
"My family ordered me to come and investigate the situation of the war, and by the way, find out who is rebelling."
"Attached to the contrary?"
"Those families."
"That's quite a lot. I know of at least a dozen families. But Fifth Brother, I can't blame them for such things. If they don't surrender to the rebels, their families will be confiscated and exterminated. How many families can bear it?"
"You can't bear it?"
"Yes, the head of the family held his head high and refused to surrender. His wife was ravaged by the rebels in public and refused to surrender. His son was killed in public and refused to surrender. When his grandson was lifted up and ready to be thrown to death, he surrendered."
"Poor parents."
"But the rebels knew that the feud was serious and that this man could not be trusted, so they casually killed his entire family."
"Ruthless enough."
"Fifth brother, most of the fights between the aristocratic families are in secret. When it comes to bloodthirsty, it's still those alien races!"
"Damn it! Back then Yang Ni once said that people who are not from my race will have different hearts. It's true!"
"Yang Ni himself is plotting rebellion. By the way, fifth brother, Yang Ni said he is a filial son, but is he really?"
"most."
At this time, cheers came from outside the city, which was deafening.
Huahua couldn't help but raise her eyes, wanting to see the situation outside the city.
Ta-ta-ta!
The intensive sound of horse hooves caused both the attacking and defending sides to pause for a moment and look at each other.
A crowd of cavalry surrounded one person.
The rebel formation cracked a channel.
More than a hundred cavalry surrounded the man and moved forward. When passing by the Chinese army, Wei Ming led his men to salute, but the man ignored him and went straight to the city.
"The Duke is mighty!"
The armies are cheering,
The person who came was Shi Zhongtang.
He rode his horse to the city, drew his sword, looked up to the sky and shouted:
