The sound of shouting suddenly exploded, and from time to time there was the sound of blades intersecting. The soldiers at the city gate stepped on their feet and looked out, and from time to time they were amazed.
"Anyway, outside the city... don't mind your own business." Qin Liulang, the captain guarding the city gate, whispered: "They are all barbarians from Youzhou, so don't mess with them."
The soldiers next to them nodded. Yesterday, the East Palace sent an order, and the prince would send his subordinates to greet him... Unexpectedly, they had a conflict with someone outside the city gate. Naturally, these little pawns didn't want to take care of this kind of thing, and they didn't dare to take care of it.
of.
But if someone dies, he might have to bear the responsibility... Qin Liulang slowly walked up to him and looked at it from an angle. More than twenty big men were besieging five or six people. One person was already lying on the ground, and there were faint traces of blood.
.
"Brother Shi Mo, this man is quite brave." A middle-aged man sat on a horse and smiled and nodded at one of the people in the melee. The man was not tall, but he roared and charged fiercely. It took three or four people to work together.
block.
Xu Shimo, who was out to greet the prince today, frowned slightly, "Brother Yanchao has entered Chang'an for the first time..."
"When the prince calls you, do you want me to be obedient?" The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly, "Brother Shi Mo is the prince and sacrifices his family. Since he doesn't know him, he is certainly not a person."
This middle-aged man was Li Yi, the general manager of Youzhou who was given the surname Li, belonged to the clan, and was conferred the title of King of Yan County.
Xu Shimo sighed. Inside the East Palace, he was not in favor of summoning Li Yi to the capital. This man had a arrogant character and had occupied Youzhou for many years. He could be the aid of the prince, but he was not suitable to enter the capital.
It is a pity that Prince Li Jiancheng failed to defeat Liu Heitao in this life. He was in panic all day long. He persuaded the saint Li Yuan to summon Li Yi to the capital to worship General Zuo Yiwei and become one of the Twelve Generals... After all, Youzhou is very special.
Not listening to Xuan's taste, Li Yuan summoned Liu Heita to the capital with the intention of capturing and killing him, but Li Yi did not have the courage to resist.
Before they officially entered Chang'an City, they caused a fight at the city gate... Xu Shimo could see clearly that he was ordered to go out to welcome him this time, and the etiquette had been completed. When entering the city, Li Yi's soldiers forcibly cleared the way, causing conflicts with passers-by.
It was obviously done deliberately.
Xu Shimo took a few glances and saw that almost all of the group of people had collapsed, leaving only the stout man struggling to hold on. These people had ordinary clothes, dark skin, and no one knew their origins.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and everyone turned their heads to see dozens of horsemen galloping from a short distance away.
Luo Yi waved his hand without thinking, and the two bodyguards came out on horseback, shouting in agreement, and the cavalry on the opposite side slowed down their horses.
Luo Yi stopped paying attention and saw that the strong man was finally kicked down. He ordered his guards to clear the way. He was about to enter the city with Xu Shimo when he heard noisy shouts and curses coming from behind him.
Xu Shimo looked back and saw a knight gesticulating. Luo Yi's bodyguard actually whipped him down... Xu Shimo was shocked. There were dozens of cavalrymen... This was by no means a small family inside and outside Chang'an.
In this era, horses were equivalent to cars in later generations, and dozens of riders could be gathered together, so they were definitely not ordinary people... This was also the reason why Xu Shimo ignored the beaten passers-by before, and they were all on foot.
Before Xu Shimo had time to speak, a horse from the opposite side suddenly galloped over. He picked up speed again under almost impossible circumstances, and used a long stick in his hand like a horse stick to knock the two guards off their horses.
Suddenly the guards made a noise, Luo Yi's face turned as dark as water, he turned his horse's head and galloped away, scolding: "What a rat..."
In the middle of his words, Luo Yi stopped talking. He knew the person in front of him. Xu Shimo came on horseback and saw a young man among dozens of riders, calm and composed, pointing in this direction and saying something.
"Huairen, Huairen." Xu Shimo urged his horse forward and waved: "Are you going to enter the city?"
"Brother Shi Mo, you are asking this question knowingly." Li Shan once saw the prince's sacrifice at Wei Zheng's home and said with a smile: "What a big man wants to block the gate of Chang'an!?"
"Even if Brother Daoxuan returns to Beijing that day, he will only be greeted by Baqiao, and the city gate will not be sealed."
Just then Luo Yi's bodyguard refused to allow Li Shan and his entourage to enter the city, saying that the nobles should go first, which made Zhu Ba very angry, and then a quarrel broke out.
Li Shan looked at the whip marks on Zhu Ba's body, and then at the two big men who were knocked off their horses by Su Dingfang, thinking that it was even.
"Huairen is joking." Xu Shimo introduced with a wry smile: "This is the general manager of Youzhou, the Prince of Yan County."
"This is the top scholar in this subject, Li Huairen, the Duke of Guantao County."
Li Shan looked at Luo Yi with a smile, cupped his hands, "I've heard about his name for a long time."
Well, after Liu Heitai was captured and executed, Shuang Shiluo, the general manager of Dingzhou, wrote a letter to Tian Liuan, scolding Luo Yi for being shameless!
It was indeed a bit shameless. Liu Heitai attacked Dingzhou for more than a month. Luo Yi, who was standing by, ignored him. In the end, the Shuangshiluo soldiers were defeated and went to fight guerrillas. As soon as Liu Heitai died, Luo Yi immediately sent troops to regain several states.
...In name, Dingzhou was recaptured by Luo Yi, and both soldiers were furious.
Luo Yi still had a gloomy face and only nodded slightly. He had also admired this young man's name for a long time... Ever since he sent out troops to recapture several states, his ears have been filled with all kinds of strange stories about this man.
After a moment of greetings, Li Shan calculated in his mind that the prince left his family to greet him. The Prince of Yan County was obviously attached to the East Palace and awarded the title of General Zuo Yiwei... which meant that Li Jiancheng's hand had reached into the Twelve Guards.
Although Li Shimin nominally commands the Twelve Guards, in fact these twelve generals have strong autonomy. For example, Chai Shao, the general of Zuowuwei who is likely to go on an expedition, is an example. Li Shimin relied on his own military exploits
And his prestige in the military made the Twelve Guards System his sphere of influence.
The prince did not have any manpower among them... After all, those who could climb to this position had military merit, and those with such military merit were basically under Li Shimin's command.
And now, Luo Yi has entered Beijing.
Li Shan didn't know if this happened to him in his previous life, but it was obvious that although Li Jiancheng did not achieve the feat of defeating Liu Heita in this life, he still did not give up his attempt to take root in the army.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but they are none of my business... Li Shan casually exchanged pleasantries and politely let Luo Yi and Xu Shimo go first.
Urging his horse into the city, Luo Yi looked back and saw that the young man had dismounted and seemed to be checking the wounded on the ground.
Seeing that Luo Yi's face looked a little ugly, Xu Shimo whispered: "This boy is good at medical skills and has a benevolent heart. There is no need to worry about him."
After a pause, Xu Shimo added: "The prince is very tolerant of Li Huairen. The left guard of the East Palace leads him, the prince Zhongyun, and the prince Xima are friendly to him."
Li Shancai was too lazy to care about Luo Yi, as long as he didn't get into trouble, and the key now was... there were a large number of wounded on the ground, six or seven of whom were bleeding.
In the past few days, Zhu Ba and Zhu Shitou had recruited thirty or forty young people from surrounding villages to serve as the first batch of medical students. Li Shan clicked his tongue, thinking that he was so sleepy that he could teach on the spot.
