Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Xue Rengui turned around and got on his horse, too lazy to talk to Ye Tianchen.

"You're scared!"

"Your people have come, I'm afraid you will lose face if you lose."

"I won't lose!"

"Can you bear the responsibility for delaying the military situation?"

"Hmph! I'll clean you up later, come with me!"

Ye Tianchen finally put away his strong fighting spirit, turned around and mounted his horse, and walked forward.

At this time, Ye Tianchen's subordinates also chased after the outside of the forest.

When they saw countless cavalrymen wearing ghost masks coming out of the forest, they drew out their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"It's my own, put them away." Ye Tianchen showed up and shouted loudly.

It was only then that the people on both sides suddenly realized, and looked at each other curiously.

"Is this the army newly trained by His Highness in Qiongzhou? Not bad!"

As soon as Xue Rengui saw Ye Tianchen's subordinates, he gave a sincere admiration.

Xue Rengui, who has been running on the battlefield for the past few years, can tell at a glance that Ye Tianchen's subordinates are the best of the best.

These words were very useful to Ye Tianchen's ears. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he continued: "What is this? I have tens of thousands of people under my command, all of whom are good at what they do."

"Let's go, stop the ink."

Xue Rengui was too lazy to listen to him, so he rode his horse and galloped forward.

Ye Tianchen chased after him and shouted: "When you finish your military affairs, you and I will fight again!"

……

After a while, the two came to Li Xiao together.

"Xue Rengui, Miss Wang, long time no see."

Li Xiao smiled slightly.

Ye Tianchen at the side didn't wait for Xue Rengui to speak, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I did not disgrace my mission and captured Jieli Khan alive, but..."

As he said that, he cast a glance at Xue Rengui, and continued: "This guy suddenly appeared, robbed his subordinates, and refused to return them."

"You two..." Li Xiao looked suspicious, "What's the matter? The room smells of gunpowder."

"A certain person wanted to subdue Rengui, but he didn't fight him, so he was a little unconvinced!" Wang Qingxue covered her mouth and laughed.

Hearing this, Ye Tianchen became even more annoyed: "Who can't beat him? It didn't count just now! If he uses the Thunder Sword Technique, I can beat him with one move. What kind of strength is this?"

"If it's a life-and-death battlefield, there's no chance to start over. If you lose, you lose. Where are there so many excuses?" Wang Qingxue retorted.

"You...sophistry!"

Ye Tianchen was anxious and speechless.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Ye Tianchen, you are the best in the world!" Li Xiao said helplessly, "Let's talk about business."

"Your Highness!"

Xue Rengui clasped his fists solemnly and said, "This subordinate has confidential and important matters to report."

After speaking, he cast a glance at Ye Tianchen.

The meaning is self-evident - idlers retreat at the same speed.

Li Xiao's face became serious, and he said, "Tell me, there are no outsiders here."

Xue Rengui looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise, and then knelt on the ground: "The last general is incompetent and failed to find the trace of Li Changge, please punish him, Your Highness!"

"What's going on?" Li Xiao frowned slightly, "Is she alive or dead?"

"Definitely still alive!"

Xue Rengui immediately said: "Although she was not found, there are some clues."

"When Qizhou was just breached, the subordinates brought people in and killed them. Li Changge's weapons were found at the top of Dongying who defended the city. According to the interrogation statement, Li Changge was captured after the city was broken. Before the subordinates came down, He was transferred out of Qizhou City."

"Afterwards, the subordinates led people to sneak into the six counties and thirteen counties of Qizhou in disguise. They searched every city, but they still couldn't find the place where Dongying detained Li Changge."

"No?" Li Xiao frowned, "How could it not be? Are you sure you've searched everything?"

"Subordinate to confirm."

Xue Rengui said: "As long as there are more cities in Dongying, the subordinates have searched for them, unless the Emperor Dongying brought her with him, or sent only a few guards to imprison Li Changge in a mountain jungle."

Li Xiao fell into deep thought immediately, and then asked, "What are the clues you just mentioned?"

"Your Highness, I don't know if this news is accurate."

Xue Rengui continued: "After searching all over Qizhou, my subordinates suspected that Emperor Dongying would be by Li Changge's side, so my subordinates lurked for several days, and finally got a piece of news from Emperor Dongying."

"The Emperor Dongying mentioned a deal inadvertently. It seems that Li Changge has been handed over to another force in exchange for something."

"After that, my subordinates asked people from Dongying everywhere, but they didn't have any clues. My subordinates guessed that it was very likely that they were high-level officials from the neighboring country Goguryeo."

"I heard that the royal family of Goguryeo paid great attention to the inheritance of high-quality blood. If their princes want to have offspring, they will look for the best women in the world."

"Of course, this is just a subordinate's guess."

After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Xiao's complexion became more and more ugly.

"East! Goguryeo!"

"Women who dare to touch me, I will definitely make you regret coming to this world!"

Chapter 437: Driving Back to the Palace

With the arrest of Jieli Khan, the Turkic army officially declared defeat.

After the war, Chang'an City was devastated.

The shops on both sides of the street have been smashed into disrepair.

Corpses can be seen lying on the ground everywhere, with relatives crying bitterly beside them.

The whole city was plunged into a desolate atmosphere.

At the corner of the street, a little boy pushed the adult body on the ground hard: "Father, what's wrong with you, don't scare Hu'er! Wake up quickly, didn't you say you want to take Hu'er to find your mother?"

Beside, an old man passing by saw this, and immediately couldn't bear it: "Son, your father is tired, he just wants to take a rest, you hide with me quickly, or those bad guys will come again."

On the street, many people heard this, but almost all of them were ashamed.

Chang'an was captured by the Turks, and enemy troops were everywhere.

Where can they hide?

It can be hidden for a while, but it will eventually be discovered.

What's more, they who have lost their loved ones have already lost their belief in living.

The whole person is like a walking corpse, guarding beside the dead body of a relative in a daze, waiting for relief to come.

At this time, the gate of Chang'an City suddenly opened wide.

A group of soldiers slowly entered the city with neat and orderly steps.

Behind them, a large flag fluttered in the wind.

A vigorous and powerful "Yue" character is written on the banner.

"That is……"

"Look! That's our Great Tang army!"

More and more people noticed the situation here, with excited expressions on their faces.

"My Great Tang army entered the city, could it be that..."

"It must be right! We won! Our Tang army won!"

"Yue Ziqi? Which army of my Tang Dynasty is this?"

"Yue? Could it be... King Yue?"

"What? The King of Yue who was dispatched to Qiongzhou?"

"Who else but him?"

"Heaven has eyes! My Tang Dynasty has finally produced a hero who can deal with the Turks!"

When the people saw that the troops entering the city were all Han Chinese, they burst into tears.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiao followed into the city with all the civil and military officials.

By this time, the people were finally convinced that the scene in front of them was not an illusion.

The gazes of all the people couldn't help looking at Li Xiao, who stood out from the crowd like a chicken.

"Seeing that the general situation is over, I never thought that King Yue would turn the tide and save Datang from the fire and water by himself. He is Datang's benefactor, and even more so, our benefactor!"

"That's right. In the past three years, facing the Turkic army's invasion, the imperial court has repeatedly suffered setbacks. Even Chang'an has fallen. Unexpectedly, the King of Yue stood up in the end."

"Three years ago, all civil and military officials colluded and abandoned the King of Yue. Three years later, the King of Yue rescued them. I wonder how they will feel when they see the current situation?"

On the street, common people lined both sides of the road and knelt down to salute Li Xiao one after another.

There was gratitude and awe in their eyes, but more excitement.

They seemed to see a future star rising slowly...

Li Xiao escorted the civil and military officials all the way to the outside of the palace, and the carriage stopped.

The eldest grandson Wugou opened the curtain and said expressionlessly: "The king of Yue must have been physically and mentally exhausted after many battles, and the Ai family is also a little tired, so the king of Yue can just send it here."

Li Ke disappeared.

Now it belongs to her with the greatest right.

The imperial palace is a symbol of imperial power, and she will never allow Li Xiao's army to enter.

Otherwise, once Li Xiao took the opportunity to control the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Xiao looked at his eldest grandson Wugou thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager's decree, I should obey it, it's just..."

After a pause, he continued: "Although the Turkic army has been defeated, there is no guarantee that there will be remnants of evil hidden in the city. I have sent people to the city of Chang'an to clean up the evil, but this palace..."

Hearing this, Changsun Wugou immediately became worried, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Then King Laoyue will have to work harder."

"The empress dowager made atonement, the minister is indeed a little tired, how about this..."

Li Xiao thought for a while, and said: "I have recruited more than a thousand masters, and handed them over to Brother Nine. The defense of the palace, I have to worry about Brother Nine."

what?

Everyone looked at Li Xiao in surprise.

Today, the imperial court has very few troops in Chang'an.

But Li Xiao has tens of thousands of troops here.

However, as long as Li Xiao thinks about it, the imperial power will basically disappear.

And if you want to control the imperial power, the first step should be to control the palace.

But now, Li Xiao actually took the initiative to give up this opportunity.

This made all civil and military officials look at Li Xiao with admiration.

Li Zhi also looked surprised.

He also thought that Li Xiao would take some action to firmly control the power in his hands.

But he has no objection, this is what Li Xiao deserves.

In terms of talent, force, and military ability, no matter what, all the princes are much worse than Li Xiao.

He even felt that the next king of Tang Dynasty must be Li Xiao!

"Since Brother Xiao can trust Brother Nine, Brother Nine will not disappoint Brother Xiao." Li Zhi looked at Li Xiao seriously and said.

"Since that's the case, let's do it this way, Ai's family agrees!" Changsun Wugou took a deep look at Li Xiao and said hastily.
