Chapter 171

The day of the ceremony!

In the west of Chang'an City, there is a high altar on which three sacrifices of pigs, cattle and sheep are placed!
At this time, there are only [-] defenders left in the city, and there are a total of [-] including the imperial palace guards!
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, according to what was said before, was held outside the city, and all officials and all people prayed sincerely to heaven together!

Due to the lack of troops, Li Er only arranged 3000 people to organize the people and maintain discipline, but did not mobilize a large army to defend. Some people with ulterior motives secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

Among the civil and military officials, many civil officials did not come back outside. Most of the veterans who followed this time, such as Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Yu Shinan, etc., the only military generals were Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong who went into battle with illness!
Bai Fan didn't participate. In his words, it was just three thousand Turkic barbarians this time, a group of generals plus soldiers, and the king of Qi as internal support. They rushed forward, and the barbarians didn't even know how they died!So the excuse was to take care of his fiancée at home, but he didn't show up!
What is the real reason?
One is that this ancient ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens is very long, and going there is simply suffering; the other is to serve as a reserve force in case any emergencies arise!
Beside Bai Fan is also an old acquaintance, Zhang Shigui, the leader of the Xuanjia Army!

"General Zhang, don't be so nervous. Our position has been carefully calculated by me. It is the fastest position to send troops from the city. It can reach the battlefield in a quarter of an hour. The Xuanjia Army is well-trained. Even if there is any emergency, go to the rescue Your Majesty will definitely make it in time!"

Zhang Shigui looked at the tea that Bai Fan made for himself, and it was really hard to swallow. He looked at Bai Fan with a look of embarrassment and said, "Lan Tianhou, the Xuanjia Army has been responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety since it became famous. This is the first time a remote protection has come from such a distance, and a certain family is a little uneasy!"

Bai Fan smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with this. As the first guard captain of His Majesty, it is commendable that you always think about His Majesty's safety, but this time we are fishing, and the bait is Your Majesty himself, so if you don't catch something If the big fish of value comes, we will really fall short!"

Zhang Shigui also understood in his heart, nodded helplessly, grabbed the teacup subconsciously and drank it, taking one sip after another, he was in no mood to feel the taste in his mouth at all.

In the west of Chang'an City, Li Yuanji and the [-] soldiers of Turkic Ashnadur are making final battle preparations!

"General Ashina, the Turkic army is still short of [-] troops. Why? Is there any secret plan? We are cooperating with each other. If you do not tell us about your private actions, it is not sincere!" Li Yuanji frowned.

After waiting for so many days, the last [-] Turkic soldiers are still not in place!
"Your Highness King Qi, don't worry, the National Teacher has no plans to spare. The five hundred warriors must have been arranged by the National Teacher to catch him by surprise. Our goal is your Emperor Tang. No matter what the National Teacher has planned, it will ultimately be for the sake of you. The goal is to act, so please rest assured, Your Highness, once we succeed, His Highness King Jin will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our two countries will be friends!"

Li Yuanji thought to himself, the traitor Zhao Deyan is really cunning, and he is still playing tricks on us?
Didn't he send Chengdao to inquire about the news?Why didn't a little wind leak out?

"Let's go, His Royal Highness King Qi, the soldiers are all ready, it will take a lot of time to rush from here to the altar, there can be no further delay!"

And where is Li Chengdao that Li Yuanji was talking about?
Back then, Li Chengdao was sent by Li Jiancheng to Yunzhou to approach Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan, an old fox, also had distrust of King Jin in his heart, so he kept Li Chengdao by his side, nominally to help and cooperate, but actually as a proton!

When the Turks invaded Yunzhou, it was Zhao Deyan who personally directed the people in the city to respond internally. When Qu Tushou didn't react, Yunzhou collapsed!
After breaking the city, he handed everything over to Zhishisili, and Zhao Deyan brought Li Chengdao and five hundred men to Chang'an!

Zhao Deyan had been keeping a close eye on Li Chengdao all along. Li Chengdao wanted to find out the secrets of his actions. It wasn't until he helped break Yunzhou City that Zhao Deyan began to reveal some secrets to him!
It turned out that the son of the head of the Wang family set up a trap in Yunzhou, specifically to buy Bai Fan's head!

And Luoyang was also set up by Zhao Deyan, just like Yunzhou, Luoyang will also encounter military disasters!
Although he knew this information, Li Chengdao had no chance to spread the news until the day of the ceremony!
Zhao Deyan changed into the clothes of ordinary people, carrying weapons, bows and crossbows, and mixed into the crowd. Li Chengdao finally knew the real plan of this insidious fat man!

It turned out that he wanted to pretend to be a commoner. When the army was in chaos, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the emperor and officials, and directly killed the emperor and officials at the altar from behind!
Five hundred Turkic elite soldiers, if they are not prepared enough, it is really possible for him to succeed!
Not to mention that my emperor's second uncle is dangerous, if this traitor is not moral, he might even shoot his father to death!
Thinking of this, Li Chengdao was in a cold sweat, feeling anxious but didn't know what to do!
At this moment, a beggar was pushed over by the crowd. Seeing this opportunity, Li Chengdao kicked the beggar to the ground and cursed, "Go away! A beggar who is not well-known also came to participate in this sacrifice." Heavenly Grand Ceremony? Aren’t you afraid of ruining the innocence of this place? Get out of here quickly, don’t let Hong Qiye see you again, hit him every time I see you!”

The beggar wanted to argue with Li Chengdao when he got up, but after hearing this call, especially the name Hong Qiye in the conversation, he knew in his heart that it was his family. The beggar was also clever, pretending to look up and look very scared after seeing Li Chengdao , obediently rolling and crawling away!
Li Chengdao believed that the other party understood. The disciples who started the beggar gang had to learn from acting. Seeing that his acting skills were already better than his own, he must have already informed the master by now!

Seeing this, Zhao Deyan was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. It's just the habits of rich kids, not surprising!

And one day ago, Elder Song of Luoyang found Qu Tushou, the guard, and explained the situation to him. Qu Tushou also broke into a cold sweat. Luckily, I didn't do anything to kill people, otherwise this would really be yellow mud falling off my crotch!

In the same night, several confidant disciples of the beggar gang were dropped from the top of the city in hanging baskets, and they went to Chang'an to report the news, while he had to wait until daytime to explain to the people, and also stopped the imperial court's reinforcements, don't kill anyone!
After the disciples of the beggar gang left the city, they immediately contacted their brothers outside the city, found a fast horse, and disappeared into the long night in a short time!
Now the beggar gang has spread all over the northern part of the country. Whether it is a big city or a small county, there are industries and organizations of the beggar gang. Mobilize with all your strength, no faster than Babailijia!

The great battle is about to start, and it is still unknown how the outcome of the grand ceremony will be...
