The Bad Guys: Don’t call me Little Emperor Taizong

Page 158

Especially when they knew that Li Siyuan was still keeping his troops stationed and no one knew when the war would end, the people of Luoyang could only feel deep despair.

They don’t know what Chang’an looks like.

I just heard that taxes and levies there were light, and land was evenly distributed.

If one person in a family can join the army, the whole family will have no worries about food and clothing.

Originally, he couldn’t leave because of his family’s land and houses, but now he has lost his land and Chang’an is also going to be lost…

As people lose interest, they start to disperse.

But at this moment.

A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the restaurant.

Finally it fell on the shoulders of the restaurant owner.

When people saw the letter on the pigeon’s leg, they all looked expectant.

And under these gazes, the shopkeeper slowly opened the letter.

With just a quick glance, the smiling face froze instantly.

Then I read it over and over again with some disbelief.

He turned to the crowd again and opened his mouth but did not speak.

“Heh… why aren’t you talking? Has Mobei already entered the city? Or has Song Wentong agreed to let the Regent enter the city?”

The shopkeeper shook his head.

“Could it be that the Khitans have captured Chang’an?”

“It shouldn’t be this fast, right? Even if Prince Qi is a loser, it should still take quite some time to get from Fengxiang to Chang’an.”

The shopkeeper shook his head again, his eyes already gray.

“What’s going on? Tell me quickly!”

After asking several times and getting no answer, the scholar became a little anxious.

“Uh……”

This time the shopkeeper wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth only a hoarse sound came out.

Only at this moment did I realize that my throat felt as if it was stabbed by a knife. I forced myself to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and only then did I feel a little better.

“plum……”

He casually said the word “Li”, then immediately realized that it was wrong, and quickly changed his words:

“Your Highness has defeated 100,000 Mobei cavalrymen in Fengxiang. He also beheaded the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and the head of the Liao ruler. You will return to the court on a certain day!”

Chapter 149: Flying Jet

“how is this possible?”

At this time, the Luoyang Tavern was completely silent.

The restaurant owner had a flying pigeon on his shoulder and a freshly opened letter in his hand.

But like everyone else present, his face was full of disbelief.

“How could a hundred thousand elite soldiers lose? Could it be fake? Boss, you are lying to us, right?”

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes becoming serious.

But the shopkeeper threw the envelope in his hand in annoyance:

“See for yourself! If you don’t believe me, I know that many of you here have great powers. Go home later and you will get the news from the front.”

“This……”

Someone’s inner strength surged, and he sucked the letter on the ground into his palm, and then slowly read it word by word:

“Three thousand defeated a hundred thousand, and single-handedly killed the King of Liao. Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, Qixiang of the Shili tribe of Liao, Feng of the Daha tribe, and the brother of the chief of Yaoyan tribe, all died in the battle! The sky was stained with blood that day, and fifteen miles away, one could still hear the cheers of “Long live the Liao king…”

The more I read, the weirder the expression on my face becomes. The more I read, the more relaxed I feel.

Only after he finished reading did he sneer:

“Haha… I think you, the shopkeeper, don’t need to keep your Piaoxianglou going. How dare you fool us with such false information? Three thousand broke one hundred thousand. You’re so smart… Haha.”

But as I said this, I felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, a few pigeons flew in from the door again.

The person who received the carrier pigeon turned pale instantly.

He immediately stood up and said goodbye: “Everyone, I have something important to do at home, so I won’t keep you company this time…”

After saying this, he walked out of the restaurant and disappeared without paying attention to others’ attempts to persuade him to stay.

These are the family members of high-ranking officials in the court. How dare they stay any longer?

I have a vague feeling that the sky is about to change.

After taking control of Mobei, Li Changping was victorious.

There is almost no need to think about it, his next target can only be the rebellious Li Siyuan.

Only one person in history could defeat one hundred thousand with three thousand.

Li Changping did it, so he is the reincarnation of Ziwei.

He is the sun rising in the sky, and he is the only one between heaven and earth.

No matter how much public opinion Li Siyuan created or how many people he killed, he could not suppress the destiny that was supported by the people.

No one would doubt that man’s dominance!

It is about to happen that if you recruit one thousand people you can get ten thousand, and if you recruit ten thousand people you can get one hundred thousand.

What Li Siyuan should consider now is not whether he can win, but how to prevent his 300,000 troops from mutiny.

As a family of ours, we certainly cannot go down the same path as this loser.

If Zhu Liang is gone, there is Li Cunxu; if Li Cunxu is gone, there is Li Keyong; if Li Keyong is gone, there is Li Siyuan.

In short, Li Siyuan is about to be finished.

It’s time to sit back and watch the fight between the two, waiting for the next emperor to take office…

Several people left without being noticed.

At this time, no one wanted to pay attention to them.

The Confucian scholars who had just spoken all had dazed and pale faces, as if all their energy had been drained away in an instant.

But there were also some people sitting in corners who were completely happy.

He had been clenching his fists and not daring to speak, but now he stood up and said with a smile:

“Haha, Your Highness was born young, and from a commoner he expanded his territory by thousands of miles, destroyed Zhu Liang, and pacified the King of Shu. He was victorious in every attack and every battle! Zhu Youwen, Li Cunxu… How many opponents were defeated by Your Highness during this period, not to mention that barbarian from Mobei?”

“How ridiculous! Those people actually thought that Your Highness would die.”

“Could it really be God’s mercy? He actually sent such a person to the world. With such a heroic leader, why should we worry that our Tang Dynasty will not be invincible in the world…”

One goes down and the other goes down.

The words now completely disregarded other people in the restaurant.

But no one dared to refute. Even if the words were about to come out, they had to swallow them.

He also knew that even calling the police would be of no avail at this point.

Because no one can predict…

The one who came back this time was Li Changping or Li Siyuan…

at the same time.

Above the restaurant, there were two figures standing, one black and one white.

Both of them looked stunned and pale.

After a long while, the black figure sighed and said, “So… Your Majesty really won.”

“It is because of your foresight that we brothers and sisters have achieved the glory we have today.”

In response to Hei Wuchang’s sigh, Chang Xuanling chuckled.

Her soft and boneless body leaned against him, and she couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe to lick his face.

“Your Majesty has defeated an army of 100,000. The backbone of Mobei has been broken. Looking back, what is there to fear from a mere Li Siyuan? Now we need to withdraw our plans…”

“Retreat? You can’t retreat!”

Seeing that Chang Xuanling seemed somewhat relaxed and lazy, Hei Wuchang immediately straightened her up and said seriously:

“This battle is not yet completely decided. I originally wanted to stir up trouble in Li Siyuan’s rear to help His Majesty, but now that His Majesty has won, it would be a waste not to take the credit. Let the Xuanming Sect prepare for battle and get ready to welcome His Majesty into the city!”

“How to welcome?”

“We originally wanted to make it chaotic, but now we need to make it stable. Let Luoyang be safely and securely handed over to your majesty…”

Speaking of this, Chang Haoling pondered for a moment and came up with an idea:

“Order the disciples to take off their Xuanming clothing, transform into civilians, and wait for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty’s heavenly soldiers. Then stir up the people’s hearts and force the commander of this place to surrender the city!”

“Hehehe…Brother, since we practiced the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Technique, we haven’t practiced together for a long time, right?”

Looking at Hei Wuchang’s serious profile, Bai Wuchang gradually became confused.

—-

Xingyuan.

The Tang army and the allied forces faced each other across the Han River for many days, and both sides tacitly agreed to keep their troops in place.

This was originally an insignificant war.

Both sides knew that the victory of this battle would not be decided here, but in Fengxiang and Tongguan.

If Fengxiang can be defended, Tongguan will not be lost.

If Fengxiang is lost, Tongguan will also be lost.

Looking at the Han River flowing in front of him, Wang Yanzhang was filled with annoyance and was even a little absent-minded during his daily patrols.

But at this time.

A loud cry came from the sky, and a Saker Falcon flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.

Wang Yanzhang was unmoved. He habitually stroked the bird’s head with his hand. He glanced at it unintentionally and was slightly stunned.

I saw the Saker Falcon caught a pigeon from somewhere, had eaten half of it, and was holding the other half in its mouth, handing it to me as if to please me.

“Ok?”

Seeing that there was a letter tied to the pigeon’s leg, Wang Yanzhang took it casually. The Saker Falcon thought that its owner had accepted his charity and flew away proudly.

When Wang Yanzhang spread out the letter, two lines of small words immediately caught his eye.

“In the Battle of Fengxiang, Li Changping defeated 100,000 with only 3,000 men. We were defeated in Mobei, the King of Liao is dead, this battle is unwinnable, please ask the King of Shu to withdraw his troops quickly! Stabilize the people’s hearts! Thousands and thousands!”

The rough characters were a little blurry, but the “千千” written on them indicated that the letter was extremely urgent.

Just when I realized it was the enemy’s plan, I saw a commotion on the other side of the river.

Wang Yanzhang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days: “Hahahahahahaha… I should have known earlier that Your Majesty would not fail if he took action. Mobei has been settled, now it’s time to collect the debt from these traitors!”

Senhan’s eyes fell on the Shu-shaped flag on the other side of the Han River. Wang Yanzhang raised his spear high:

“Pass on my order, the army will break camp and board the ships!”

Chapter 150 Reactions from all parties

“strike camp?”

After hearing Wang Yanzhang’s decisive order, the Tang army was stunned: “General Wang, we have been stationed for many days, why are we moving camp today?”

“Your Majesty, three thousand defeated one hundred thousand, and Yelu Abaoji was beheaded. Today is the day for us to make achievements. If you don’t go, I would like to experience how heroic it is for one person to defeat one hundred thousand.”
