"The strength of Chang'an City is unparalleled in the world..."
In front of Hengmen, a group of aides were advising Li Yunze on how to break through Chang'an City.
Then everyone saw a commotion among the defenders on top of the city.
After a short while, the originally closed city gate was actually opened.
A group of defenders rushed out and shouted in the direction of Li Yunze's banner, "Welcome the general back to the city~~~"
Everyone looked at Li Yunze, and Master Fuyan said with a smile, "I am waiting here to offer advice, but I forgot that the king is destined by fate. He is the master of Chang'an City."
As soon as this statement came out, there was naturally a flood of echoes.
Even Gongsun Hong and others, who were at odds with their master, nodded repeatedly to express that what you said was absolutely right.
This is the most correct word, and it is the correct word that no one can object to.
If you object at this time...if such a person really existed, he wouldn't be here.
Except for people in the military, who can appear next to Li Yunze who is not a human spirit?
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Enter the city."
When Cheng Bushi was still at the top of the city, he could barely hold it down.
But when he took his trusted troops to rescue the palace, the defenders naturally had other ideas.
It's okay for ordinary sergeants. The sergeants during the Qin and Han Dynasties mainly followed military orders.
However, the military captains, military commanders, military lords and other officers knew very clearly that Chang'an City could not be defended at all.
Not to mention that once Chang'an City was besieged, there would be only one city left.
Just the turmoil among the princes in the city made them understand the final result.
When the people arranged by Zhou Yafu and others began to instigate, they basically reached an agreement without any objection.
Anyway, it is the old Liu family who are fighting for the throne. Those of us who eat the royal food will not eat anyone else's food.
Li Yunze, an expert in art, was bold and did not care about the possible dangers. He personally led the cavalry into the city first and went straight to Weiyang Palace along the main road in the city.
The scale of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was not as large as imagined.
Even in terms of scale, it is smaller than the Qin Xianyang Palace, which is twenty miles to the north and spans both sides of the Wei River.
As for Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was more than ten miles away in the southeast on Longshou Plain, it was only a fraction of its size.
There are not many ordinary people in the city, and even the east and west cities are extremely depressed.
Li Yunze asked casually, and a surrendered captain reported back, saying that the rebels recruited by Tian Fu had looted the East and West cities.
"Ah."
After hearing what Tian Fu had done, Li Yunze didn't say much. Anyway, this man's fate had already been decided.
The large group of cavalry swarmed through the streets on their way to Weiyang Palace. Anyone they met along the way, no matter who refused to obey, would immediately charge into and kill them with their horses without any mercy.
They have only one destination, and that is Weiyang Palace.
However, Li Yunze still stopped in the middle.
Princess Guantao was tied up like a rice dumpling because she saw an acquaintance.
Looking at the bruises on Princess Guantao's face and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth, it can be seen that she has suffered a lot.
"King!"
Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, knelt on one side and shouted to Li Yunze, "Princess Guantao colluded with Wang Rei Xing to commit misdeeds. Please punish me~~~"
Chen Wu is the father-in-law of the country, but at this time he tied up his wife and scolded his in-laws, just to survive.
The tied Princess Guantao wanted to struggle and shout to Li Yunze, 'Good nephew, I am your aunt~~~Please spare my aunt's life~~~'
Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged and he couldn't cry out for mercy.
Li Yunze silently looked at the princess of Guantao who once dominated the Han Empire, the eldest princess who once said, "You want to establish a prince, have you asked me?"
He nodded slightly and signaled to Chen Wu, "You can make your own arrangements for the eldest princess. The title of Marquis of Tangyi can be passed on to your son. As for yourself, just cultivate yourself in the mansion."
Having said that, Li Yunze didn't look at her again and rode forward again.
People always have to pay for what they have done.
Not only had she dealt with Li Yunze, Princess Guantao had benefited from too many people because of her background, and had done things for too many people.
Historically, although she fell silent after the death of Empress Dowager Dou, she still had a good death after all.
How can this make those who have been harmed by her rest in peace?!
If you sow the cause, you will get the result, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down!
Li Yunze left with a large group of cavalry, but Chen Wu was sweating profusely.
Unlike the two silly sons who were full of joy, Chen Wu understood the meaning of Li Yunze's words.
This means you have to deal with Princess Guantao yourself!
He could retain his own life and even his title of Marquis of Tangyi, but the condition was that he had to deal with Princess Guantao himself.
This is also the reason why he decided to pass on his title to his son.
It's good if you can save your life by killing the princess. Do you still want to continue to be a marquis?
For a moment, Chen Wu thought about a lot in his mind.
But in the end, a look of determination flashed through his eyes, and he stood up and told the servants to "bring the princess back and send her to the ancestral hall."
Li Yunze quickly forgot about the matter of Princess Guantao.
At this time, he could already see the majestic and magnificent palaces in front of his eyes.
Although this is not the first time I have seen it, I am still amazed by its grandeur.
When the barbarians in the West were still feeding on hair and blood, China already had such a magnificent and majestic building complex, and such a splendid and glorious civilization, which will certainly make people feel proud.
"I will definitely protect this proud civilization." Li Yunze on horseback looked at the huge palace at the end of the street and made up his mind, "I will never allow foreigners to trample on it!"
At this time, both inside and outside Weiyang Palace had become a Shura field.
Tian Fu's troops guarding the palace, Zhou Yafu and other princes' troops stormed the palace, and Cheng Bushi's troops who returned to the rescue killed many people inside and outside the palace, with rivers of blood flowing and corpses piled up like mountains.
Everyone on all sides was furious, and they fell into a state of madness when they saw someone.
The chamberlains and even the maids in the palace suffered a serious crime. The corpses of those who were killed were scattered everywhere, and the sounds of crying and wailing could not be heard.
When Li Yunze's cavalry group came over, the morale of the princes' soldiers and horses, which had been attacked from two sides, suddenly increased.
Cao Shou, who was covered in armor and covered in blood, saw a large group of cavalry rushing into Cheng Bushi's headquarters from the rear. He raised his arms and cheered happily, "Brothers, the general is here! The general... eh?!"
Cao Shou was so excited that he forgot that he was on a chaotic battlefield. A sharp arrow suddenly flew towards him and hit him accurately in the face.
Li Yunze didn't see this scene, and he wouldn't pay too much attention if he did.
No general or commander will pay attention to a single person on a tragic battlefield. Their energy will only be focused on the entire battlefield.
Quickly deploy manpower, attack the cavalry in groups or even units in turns, constantly alternate charging and covering, looking for weak spots, etc.
The cavalry at this time was not as powerful as in later generations, especially when faced with formations of infantry, a forceful attack might very well endanger oneself.
But the current environment is different, especially in the square in front of Weiyang Palace. Cheng is in a mess and has no idea where his troops are, and there is no way to organize a strong resistance.
Even many sergeants simply chose to surrender when they saw Li Yunze's banner.
Although Cheng Bushi, an outsider, managed to control the troops by means of tricks and lavish spending of wealth, his shortcomings in the foundation came to light at such a critical moment.
As for the result, it is naturally fatal.
More and more soldiers and horses surrendered, and as a result, Cheng Bushi's troops gradually fell into disintegration.
This general who was said to be immovable also knew that the situation was over, and planned to break out with a group of confidants.
However, he underestimated his own weight too much.
Everyone knows that Cheng Bushi's head is a great military achievement.
When the fight started, he, Cheng Bushi, was the key target. At this time, when he tried to run away, he was targeted by countless people.
Faced with numerous sieges, Cheng Bushi's personal guards and confidants suffered heavy losses. By the time he managed to escape to the arsenal, there were only less than a hundred people left around him.
Cheng Bushi still wanted to escape. He wanted to escape from the Xi'an Gate and flee to the Qinling Mountains.
However, many Han soldiers chased him and surrounded him, until a young boy pierced his neck with a long halberd.
"The person who doesn't know how to cut the process is me, Gongsun Ao!!"
The young general was extremely excited. He drew his sword and rushed forward, kicked off his helmet, pulled the still-dead Cheng Bushi by his hair, and raised his head high with a knife, "Gongsun Ao kills Cheng Bushi!"
Cheng Bushi, who played an extremely important role in the Chang'an Incident, finally got the end he deserved.
Cheng Shishi's death meant that the newly formed troops were completely defeated, and surrendering troops were everywhere outside the palace.
After receiving the news, Li Yunze just nodded lightly, and then told Dou Yingguanfu and others, who came panting with the infantry and soldiers, to "enter the palace."
Naturally, the palace was not suitable for cavalry fighting. Dou Ying and others led the soldiers, joined Zhou Yafu and other distinguished soldiers and horses, and stormed into the palace with great momentum.
Dou Ying, with red eyes, entered the palace with endless hatred.
He knew very clearly that Queen Mother Dou could not have died of any illness, but could only have been killed by that bitch Wang Quan!
So Dou Ying came to take revenge, taking revenge with endless anger.
At this time, the only people left guarding the palace were the men summoned by Tian Fu.
They also wanted to surrender. After all, even the regular soldiers were defeated. How could they, a mob like them, be able to withstand it?
But the problem is, Li Yunze can accept the surrender of regular soldiers, but he is absolutely unwilling to accept the begging of these scum for their lives.
Faced with the order to kill without mercy, these rabble-rousers could only resist desperately.
The ability is still there, but the result is doomed.
A ragtag group composed of rangers, libertines, careerists, and even bandits, criminals, and prisoners faced the attack of the most elite soldiers and horses in the entire Han Dynasty, and their desperate resistance only delayed some of their defeat.
Tian Fu, who was covered in blood, held a soldier in one hand and dragged his younger brother Tian Sheng with more than ten arrows in his body, and walked towards Qingliang Hall with difficulty.
Tian Fu stumbled and fell to the ground, taking a breath and turned around to look over, only to see that his younger brother who was still shouting "Brother, it hurts so much" had already made no sound.
‘Keke~~~’
With tears blurring his eyes and a strange sound coming from his throat, Tian Fu stumbled into the Qingliang Hall.
Looking at his sister hugging Liu She not far away, Tian Fu smiled sadly.
