Chapter 1150: The Change in Chang'an (Part 2)
Although this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of war, Liu Xie was still so nervous that Wang Yue said twice behind him, but he turned a deaf ear. The third time, Wang Yue had to take a few steps closer. Liu Xie was once again reminded that the rebels had begun to come.
This time Liu Xie woke up from the shock, quickly calmed down, and sent an order to a guard beside him: "Send an order to General Zhao and order the Yulin Army to prepare for battle!"
Liu Xie knew that Wang Yue, on the surface, was reminding the Yulin army to get ready, but in fact, he was reminding him that he had to start getting ready, and success or failure depended on this.
After taking a few deep breaths and following the calming techniques taught by Wang Yue, Liu Xie finally calmed down a little after trying several times. After calming down, Liu Xie began to look far into the distance. He saw more and more soldiers and horses starting to fight at the gate of the inner city a few miles away. On both sides of the city gate, there was a steady stream of troops. Soldiers and horses continued to pour into the city and were rushing towards the place where the battle would take place.
At this time, the sky has begun to turn slightly white, and the two sides have been fighting for nearly three hours since the beginning of the war. At this time, both ordinary soldiers and generals at all levels have begun to lose energy. However, no matter which side is now Dare to cease fighting and retreat easily, because once there are signs of retreat, the opponent will most likely seize the opportunity to counterattack. At that time, the retreat will turn into a rout, and you will be completely defeated.
When the morning sun rose above the eastern sky, nearly 100,000 troops from both sides had already entered the square in front of the imperial city. By this time, Guo and Li were left with only more than a thousand of their most elite relatives. The guards and other soldiers and horses have been sent out one after another.
Looking at the nearly 100,000 troops in front of him, the darkness was overwhelming. Liu Xie took a deep breath, held up the Imperial Seal with his left hand, pulled out the Emperor's Sword beside him with his right hand, walked down the tower, and walked towards the top of the city gate. After walking to the top of the city gate, Liu Xie murmured words that others could not hear. He slowly raised the jade seal in his left hand. As the jade seal was slowly raised, the red sun in the eastern sky appeared. Among them, there seemed to be a trace of red flames tumbling and jumping.
As Liu Xie muttered to himself, the red flame beat more and more fiercely. Suddenly, Liu Xie suddenly shouted: "In the whole world, is it the king's soil? Is it the guest of the emperor who is the king's minister?" ! Jun...come...to the sky...under..."
As he shouted, he pointed the Emperor's Sword in his hand toward the sky, and then pointed it toward the square in front of him. Then, a red streak flew out from the red sun in the eastern sky. The dragon, following the direction guided by the Emperor's Sword, flew over the square.
In a moment, a huge fire dragon flew over the square, and then, a ball of red firelight fell from the sky, covering the entire square and the three people on the tower. After a few breaths, the red light slowly disappeared.
Following the news of the red light, thousands of soldiers under Guo and Li were trembling as if they had been shocked by electricity. Then they quickly stopped the attack and withdrew from the area where the two sides were fighting. They came towards the gate of the imperial city and arrived at Behind the imperial city moat, these thousands of soldiers suddenly knelt down to Liu Xie on the imperial city gate and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
As they withdrew, more and more soldiers under the command of Guo and Li soon gave up fighting and came outside the moat of the imperial city to bow down and bow to Liu Xiexing.
In the horrified eyes of Li Jue and Guo Si, more than 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers from both sides were attracted by the little emperor. However, the little emperor just stood on the top of the city and shouted twice. Now there are a large number of rebels. The military surrender has passed.
At this time, Li Jue and Guo Qin each had no more than 20,000 soldiers left to guard them, and almost all the other soldiers went to the little emperor. At this point, the two of them still didn't understand that they had fallen into the little emperor's trap. But at this point, even if they knew the reason, what could they do about it? Now the number of soldiers and horses combined by the two of them is no more than the number in front of the emperor.
The two families have already started to fight, and it is impossible to unite to deal with the emperor.
Both of them were veterans on the battlefield. When they saw that the situation was not going well, they prepared to lead their troops to escape. Who knows, before they could leave, Guo Si's army suddenly shot a sharp arrow straight at Li Jue's face. At this time, Li Jue was focusing on the defecting soldiers. Little did he know that a cold arrow was flying towards him from the opposite side. Unexpectedly, Li Jue was hit by a cold arrow in front of him. He fell directly under his horse and died. I don’t know.
For a moment, Li Jue's army was in chaos. All the generals under Li Jue looked at their leader. When a group of personal guards helped Li Jue up, he was already pale, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. An arrow hit him in the face. . The generals of the Li family sent people to carry Li Jue back and evacuate, and at the same time arranged thousands of soldiers to rush directly in the direction of Guo Si. In their view, Guo Si was the person who assassinated their lord, so thousands of soldiers were there. The general led a desperate attack in the direction of Guo Si, and the soldiers of both sides soon fought together again.
The two armies of Guo and Li fought again, but everyone in Liu Xie at the top of the city was very happy. They did not expect that after the emperor obtained the jade seal, he would unleash such a powerful move. Now tens of thousands of rebels have turned against the emperor. Those who are now loyal to the emperor The number of soldiers and horses has reached more than 60,000, which is fully able to meet the conditions originally negotiated.
When the ministers looked at the emperor's position again, they found that the emperor was now as pale as paper, and he quickly retreated towards the city tower under the protection of Wang Yue.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that the emperor had been assassinated, so they all turned pale with fright and rushed towards the emperor. After they had finished, they even shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are injured!"
Liu Xie smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Abbot, I'm just losing my strength."
Having said this, Liu Xie, with the help of Wang Yue, managed to sit up and said: "I have passed on my decree and ordered that Zhao Rui, the commander of Yulin Zhongling, should be promoted to the rank of fifth-rank Pinglu general, and Yulin Left School Lieutenant Ma Jin should be the subordinate. Sun Ping, the fifth-rank general against the rebels and the right captain of Yulin, was the fifth-rank general against the invaders. He led three men and based on the two thousand Yulin army, he selected 18,000 soldiers from under the city and reorganized them into an army of 20,000 civilian soldiers to pursue the fleeing rebels. The remnants of the Guo and Li tribes!”
"No!" A eunuch immediately took the pen and ink and wrote the imperial edict, then handed it to the emperor to use his seal, and then immediately sent someone out to deliver the order.
After resting for a while, Liu Xie stood up and ordered: "Mr. Zhong Ai, I appoint you as the Yulin General. Based on the 1,000 Yulin guards, I will select 9,000 soldiers to form a 10,000 Yulin army to defend the emperor." The city is safe.”
"The last general has received the order!" Zhong Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.
"Prince of the State, I appoint you as the auxiliary general of the country and the commander of Jinwu. Based on one thousand Yulin soldiers, I will select 19,000 soldiers to form an army of 20,000 Jinwu to defend the safety of Chang'an City."
"Old minister, take your orders!"
"Dong Aiqing, I appoint you as the cavalry general. Based on the remaining 1,000 Yulin army, plus the remaining 10,000 soldiers, follow closely behind the Pinglu army, try to annihilate the two remaining armies, and gather the remaining troops. use."
"Old minister, I obey!"
"The rest of the generals are all rewarded. Everyone, pacifying the two thieves is the first step to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. There are more things to come that require your full efforts. When the Guangwu Zhongxing comes again, I will not forget you. For those who have made great achievements, they have been granted the title of marquis and minister, and have been the duke for many generations, no matter what!"
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty and bring peace to the world, even after death!" Everyone bowed in unison;
