"No need! I have made up my mind. You will charge into the mountains right now. If you encounter any resistance, kill them all."
When Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin saw that the emperor had his own way, they both came out of the tent with heavy hearts and ordered the Chinese army to beat drums and prepare for the attack.
At the foot of the mountain, a large army could be seen, and the sound of drums and shrill horns that shook people's hearts resounded throughout the mountains and fields.
Zhou Cangwen heard the sound of drums and horns for the Tang army to charge. He was so furious that he had no scruples, so he ordered the entire army to wait for the enemy to rush up the mountain road before launching a counterattack.
The dark soldiers rushed into the mountain road, shouting and attacking the Qin family's personal guards on the mountain.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The first round of mortar shells covered the mountain road with dozens of shells. Amidst the "rumbling" explosions and the light of fire, the soldiers of the Tang Army who rushed up the mountain road screamed loudly, crying for their fathers and mothers. The earth trembled, and their broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere along with the mud and rocks.
Scattered.
Many officers and soldiers who followed closely hated the young master's legs and fled in all directions to the foot of the mountain. The gunshots that rang out everywhere in the forest were like the call of death. None of the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty who climbed up the mountain road survived.
Li Shimin finally saw the power of the Qin family's firearms, and with a livid face and red eyes, he wanted to lead the army to attack again. He was so frightened that Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the Ouchi masters who were guarding the emperor were waiting to stop the desperate emperor.
They were forcibly carried into the military tent.
In the military tent, everyone waited for the emperor to sit down, their expressions solemn and they did not dare to speak lightly. After a while, Li Shimin finally calmed down, and said tiredly with a flushed face, unwilling to accept.
"It's my fault! I didn't know for a long time that the Qin family had such a murderous weapon."
Seeing that several powerful generals in the army had nothing to say, Li Shimin felt powerless and had nothing to do.
"That's it, that's all!"
The old emperor seemed to have aged suddenly, his tall body showing some rickety weakness. After uttering these unwilling words against his will, he stood up and left sadly alone with many masters and imperial guards.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin felt heavy in their hearts when they saw the emperor like this. After so many years of hard times together, no matter how big the crisis they encountered, they had never seen the emperor look so depressed as he does today. Several of them suddenly felt that the hero had come to an end.
of sadness.
With heavy hearts, the three of them cleaned up the mess here, and still ordered the soldiers under their command to guard the road down the mountain. They strictly ordered the soldiers not to have any more conflicts with the Qin family's guards, and then Cheng Yaojin went to the mountain to see Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang turned to Cheng Yaojin with an angry look on his face, scolding the old man for his useless words.
Cheng Yaojin broke his trust, and out of embarrassment, his words were very different from his usual demeanor, and he laughed and talked to Zhou Cang.
"What the young general said makes sense. I, Old Cheng, will ensure that the officers and soldiers will not be harassed again. I hope the young general can restrain the soldiers under his command and not kill again. We will wait until Xu Tian comes back."
There was nothing he could do to face this old guy Zhou Cang. After all, this guy had a close relationship with his young marshal, and the eldest son had fought side by side with the Qin family's guards in western Liaoning, so he had some kind of kindness.
"Old General, it doesn't matter whether I guarantee it or not. My young marshal once said, I won't attack anyone unless they attack me! As long as the officers and soldiers no longer press hard against each other, then everything will be fine. In this way, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court can rely on their large numbers to achieve their goals.
If we surrender, Zhou Cang will definitely defend the mountain road and fight to the last soldier, even if he is killed, he will not be afraid, and the young commander will naturally avenge us."
Zhou Cang's words immediately resonated with the guards captains in the house, and they all agreed and vowed to advance and retreat together with the young marshal, with high fighting spirit.
Cheng Yaojin saw how heroic the Qin family's hundreds of personal guards were, so he could imagine how powerful the Qin family's army was. The young man Qin Wenyuan's ability to lead an army was comparable to that of Wu Qu Xingjun, who could make his subordinates ignore the imperial power and remain loyal.
Not everyone in a certain family can do it. Fortunately, the Qin family has no ambition to covet the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the world may really fall into the hands of Qin Wenyuan.
Even after Cheng Yaojin and Zhou Cang reached a mutual non-aggression agreement, Zhou Cang still refused to hand over Wei Ting and several other young masters. Two days later, he had fully taken charge of the leadership of the "Tianxuan Sect" in Lishan.
Qin Wenyuan led his accompanying personal guards and several masters from the teachings, leaving his master Zhiren and his uncle waiting for him in the teachings to deal with the good and bad disciples appointed by his senior brother Lou Yan before embarking on the return journey to "Qin Village".
As soon as they entered the foot of Lishan Mountain, they saw Chen Laosan anxiously waiting with several others. However, this man knew what was happening in the military camps around "Qin Village" and was unable to find the secret location of "Tianxuan Sect" and could not tell the news.
After delivering the message to the master, I thought about going back to the military camp to find the personal guards who had been to Lishan Mountain with the master to lead the way. I found that the imperial officers and soldiers had surrounded the general camp layer by layer, so I had no choice but to wait for the master on the only road at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
Qin Wenyuan received a report from Chen Laosan and was worried about the safety of hundreds of his personal guards and everyone in the Qin Mansion. He ordered his followers to gallop to "Qin Village" and arrived at "Qin Village" to see him again and "explore the spring." Many masters gathered around the princess to hide.
Meanwhile, the villagers of "Qin Village" were already equipped with bows and crossbows. If the princess had not revealed her relationship with Qin Wenyuan to stop these villagers, they would have been killed by the officers and soldiers surrounding the military camp not far from the village.
Chen Laosan was ordered to restrain the villagers from making unnecessary sacrifices and resume their previous work. In the house, Qin Wenyuan discussed with the princess how to deal with the current situation. Without knowing the specific situation in the mountains, it is better to go straight to the army tent to take a look.
What did the imperial court want? If the officers and soldiers wanted to surrender due to the large number of people, then they would send a signal to the guards in the mountains to launch the most brutal attack on the officers and soldiers and force a breakout. At worst, they would completely fall out with Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty.
The two of them made a good plan, and after Chen Laosan, the princess and his guards were still in "Qin Village" to observe the situation in the mountains, Qin Wenyuan led his personal guards and several masters from the religion to the official army tent...
The patrolling sergeants saw dozens of sergeants appearing here on horseback, and all gathered around with weapons in hand to ask questions.
Qin Wenyuan stood on his horse and said loudly to the patrolling soldiers of the Tang Army.
"Lead the way, Qin will meet your general!"
The soldier who had witnessed Qin Wenyuan massacre the master of the sword hall in Chang'an City's "Pingkangfang" immediately saluted.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "General Qin, please follow me to the Central Army to meet you all. This is the imperial guard camp, led by three generals: Li, Cheng, and Qin.
Stay here."
Hearing that the leading generals here were Qin Qiong, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, Qin Wenyuan said nothing more and led his horses and soldiers to the Chinese army's tent and entered the barracks. Many guardsmen had already known this guy.
The soldiers and generals looked at each other solemnly, showing fear and respect for this evil star.
In the military tent, three generals, Qin Qiong, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, were drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Qin Wenyuan entering the tent, Cheng Yaojin stood up and started to drink loudly.
"Your kid finally came back, causing me to wait here for many days. Now the situation has become out of control. Please tell me how to deal with it."
"Uncle, please be polite. I have something to deal with in the church. I don't know what happened here. How to deal with it depends on whose family holds the truth. You can't rely on someone else's strength as a reason. I can't do it."
It’s not something to be scared of.”
Qin Qiong, Li Jing saw that Qin Wenyuan's face was calm and he was not worried at all about the current situation. He spoke so lightly of this boy's strong tone. He didn't know whether this boy was big-hearted or disdainful of the nearly 10,000 imperial elites stationed here.
Li Jing dismissed Cheng Yaojin and briefly explained the conflict between the Qin family's personal guards and the imperial army. Then the three generals took turns advising Qin Wenyuan to release the captured people so as not to form an inextricable knot with the emperor.
Hearing that Princess Xiangcheng had returned to the palace, Qin Wenyuan understood that this silly girl must have made such an unwilling decision under pressure, and regretfully said to the three of them.
"I have no intention of being an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor thinks that I am easy to bully, then you are totally wrong. To put it bluntly, if I care about the country and the country, then even though the Tang Dynasty has thousands of troops, in my eyes, they are nothing more than ants."
, I can release him if I want, but it depends on how the emperor deals with the thieves who are plotting against my family."
Qin Qiong was finally angered by Qin Wenyuan's disrespectful words, and reprimanded loudly with anger on his face.
"Qin Wenyuan, don't think that a certain family doesn't dare to do anything to you? With your rebellious words, a certain family can deal with you. Don't make a mistake. If you hand over the person today, everything will be over. Otherwise, don't blame me.
I won’t give you the Xu family face.”
The atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became solemn. Qin Wenyuan was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter and said disdainfully.
"You seem to be a fool like you who deserves to teach me a lesson. Calling you uncle and me is a great honor for you. If you piss me off, today I ordered all the people you captured to be beheaded. Who can do anything?"
Seeing this kid's temper, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin hurriedly persuaded them to stop. Qin Qiong's face turned red, her eyes were filled with flames, and she wanted to severely punish this kid who dared to challenge the imperial power, didn't know his size, and spoke so rudely.
Lesson learned, but this bastard is so powerful that no one can underestimate him. If he is forced into a hurry, the lives of those imprisoned on the mountain may not be saved.
It was Qin Qiong who took advantage of his identity to speak out against Qin Wenyuan when he was heartbroken about returning to the palace in Xiangcheng. How could he not make this kid speak rudely in anger?
The two men were persuaded to leave, and the conversation in the military tent was no longer congenial. Qin Wenyuan still insisted on seeing how the emperor would deal with Changsun Wuji before discussing his release. At the same time, he advised the guards to withdraw from this place, leaving these people behind.
After speaking, he immediately led his entourage to join the bodyguards in the mountain.
After Qin Wenyuan left, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin appeased Qin Qiong's still angry mood and asked Qin Qiong to return to the palace to report Qin Wenyuan's intentions to the emperor.
…
In the military camp, Qin Wenyuan finally roughly guessed the truth about the princess being exploited and exposed from what Zhou Cang said, and he read the letter left to him by the princess with a swollen mood.
In the letter, the princess asked Qin Wenyuan not to think about her, and to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible to find a place to live, and not to do such treacherous things as rebelling against the Tang Dynasty and put the Qin family into a situation of no return. Speaking of the relationship between the two,
Such a pitiful God, seeing that there is still a chance to return the favor, and if it is true that we are not destined to be together, from now on I will accompany the lonely lamp to pray for my husband. The emotional hurt in his words makes people cry.
After reading the letter, Qin Wenyuan felt sad and could not help but roar loudly. The clear roar broke through the mountains and fields, containing boundless evil energy. It scared the birds and made the wild animals tremble and tremble.
The Tang Army's military camp at the foot of the mountain also faintly heard the sound of gold and iron. Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin were surprised by the boy's deep inner strength, and knew that the hatred in his heart was even deeper. They were all worried about what this boy would do in such a state.
Do something treacherous and unethical.
Qin Wenyuan felt the pain of being forced to separate from the person in his heart for the first time, and he wished he could send his army into the palace to take back his beloved.
Thinking that Xiangcheng was the daughter of the royal family after all, she didn't want him to have too deep grudges with the royal family when she left. Although she had considerations for him, she also wanted to safeguard the dignity of the imperial power. The conflict between her parents and him
It is extremely difficult to make a choice for this princess who has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.
After sighing deeply, Qin Wenyuan certainly knew that he could not abandon the safety of many members of the Qin family just to deal with Xiangcheng. He suppressed the slight sadness and a little loss in his heart and summoned Zhou Cang and other captains of the personal guards to gather together.
In front of him, he pointed at the hand-drawn map of the terrain here and issued military orders.
"You and others will strengthen the defenses according to the map on the only mountain road leading out of the mountain, so that the firepower points of all the bunkers are cross-matched to form an effective attack on the invading enemy and ensure the safety of everyone in the mountain."
Seeing that Zhou Cang and others understood his intention, Qin Wenyuan spoke to everyone again.
"I want to go to Kunlun with my army in the near future. When the Tang army surrounded by the mountains is loosened, everyone will leave here and Zhou Cang will lead his personal guards to escort them to the east capital Luoyang and go straight to Jizhou. At that time, I will send a message to Qizhou's father.
The commander's army responded here and arrived in Qizhou. Our family members were handed over to the Xu family army to be taken to "Licheng" for resettlement. Zhou Cang led his personal guards to continue to send our military orders to the Dengzhou Navy, so that the Navy would send a ship to take you and others there.
Pingzhou, and will stay in Longcheng to assist Sima in governing western Liaoning until my return. If there are court officials and troops in western Liaoning who are forced to hand over military and political power, tell Sima Yuntian to counterattack and drive them all away."
Zhou Cang told the plan as if he was talking to himself. Hearing this, Zhou Cang immediately felt that he had a heavy responsibility. He only agreed to the matter and vowed to ensure that the people here would reach Qizhou safely.
Just when Qin Wenyuan was carefully arranging the future affairs, Qin Qiong met the emperor when he returned to the palace, and truthfully conveyed to the emperor the meaning of what Qin Wenyuan said when he returned to the mountains.
Li Shimin found out that Qin Wenyuan wanted to release him, so he had to make the court deal with Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong and others in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. He secretly thought that this kid was really a stubborn donkey and was not willing to destroy his own future.
Give up and make the big thing smaller.
As an emperor, he really couldn't understand why Qin Wenyuan would go to war just because a concubine was kidnapped. He would rather leave the enviable official and nobility without compromising. With this kid's status, how many women he wants is just a matter of words, isn't it?
This little bastard from the Qin family is really a monster!
In fact, it's not that Li Shimin doesn't know the truth of "dragons have reverse scales, and they will die if they touch them!" It's just that as an emperor, how could he compare his feelings with his own? He never thought about what would happen if something like this happened to him. I'm afraid
It is even worse than Xu Tian's revenge on his enemies.
As the saying goes: It doesn't matter to him, so he doesn't know how to feel about it. For people like Xu Tian who have time-traveled and valued their loved ones as big as the sky, how could Li Shimin understand this kid's obsession with justice and equality in his previous life?
