The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 137: You Can't Get Tiger Sons
In Xinchangfang and Shengdaofang near Yanxingmen, a large number of people are rushing around in a hurry. On the street one street apart, the shouts of fighting became clear. Run around the streets.

The news of Shatuo's soldiers entering Chang'an has already spread. People who knew in advance in other nearby squares and streets stayed at home worriedly, watching more and more figures fleeing below, and dared not come out.

On the tower of Yanxing Gate, Zhang Guiba stood behind the wall, his beard swelled angrily, looking at the figures of a dozen Shatuo cavalry in the chaotic tide below, he clenched the handle of his knife, looked back outside the city, The rolling dust and smoke covered the sky and the sun, and the black line drawn by the horses moved rapidly from the end of the field of vision.

On the side, the brothers Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guibian called for soldiers to assemble and were about to go down the city wall to stop them, but they were pushed away by their elder brother, "What are you going down for? Looking for death?! Crowded like that, the army formation can't be moved, it's just looking for death!"

He roared furiously, but his heart was panicked, there were many Shatuo cavalry coming outside, once they entered the city, they would not be spared.

"Leave with brother."

Looking at the dust billowing outside, Zhang Guiba turned around and dragged the two brothers who were still wanting to talk from one side to the other, and called the soldiers under his command to quickly evacuate towards the other section of the city wall. The soldiers on duty along the way followed one by one. Probably go around to the Qixia gate in the south and leave from there.

Separated by the city wall, the three brothers looked at the street below from above. More than a dozen Shatuo cavalrymen who rushed in suddenly crashed into the gun forest in front in a cone-shaped formation. Down.The fellow riding horses who followed him ran straight into the crowd without hesitation, slashing and stabbing with steel knives and spears in their hands, blood splashed wildly.

A burly man full of hostility grabbed a thrusting spear and hacked to death the Shatuo soldiers on horseback with a knife. The next moment, he was knocked into the air by the charging flame horse and flew upside down. In an instant, King Yu made a fierce sweep, hitting the opponent like a thrown stone, flying over the heads of Qi Bing in the rear.

This scene frightened many soldiers. Seeing that General Shatuo, who was riding on a red horse and wearing a beast-headed bright armor, rushed through the crowd like chopping melons and vegetables, his heart couldn't stop trembling. One of them retreated hesitantly, and then, whoever turned around and ran away first, the rest of the soldiers threw away their spears, and then ran wildly to mix with the surrounding routs.

"Follow me."

Li Cunxiao became ferocious, drove the surrounding routs forward, and raised King Yu to call the remaining thirteen Shatuo cavalry to continue the fight with him. His feet clamped the horse's belly, and the back of his head was suddenly lightened by something. After hitting it lightly, turning around, a stone fell on the horse's back, and then slid on the ground.

"The rats sneak attack, dare to come out."

He glanced around, and then he saw Geng Qing in front of a brown horse, looking over, his eyes even stared. Here, Li Cunxiao shut his mouth quickly, as Shatuo soldiers urged the horse to approach, "Fly General Tiger, shall we continue to kill?"

As soon as the words fell, the one who answered him was a slap on the leather helmet. At this time, Li Cunxiao returned to his mind rationally, glanced at his brother who was in the crowd over there, and turned his horse's head, "A dozen people still want to eat this Chang'an? Let's go, go back! To prevent the yellow thieves from finding out the way and locking us up in the city instead."

Holding a long lance, pinching the horse's belly, he yelled: "Drive!" The horse rushed to the city gate against the rushing crowd, and the Shatuo cavalry behind him shouted loudly, brandishing their whips and lashing towards the horse's buttocks, and then ran wildly.

The sun was mixed with the chaos of Yanxingmen, and the news that the Shatuo people had entered Chang'an was still spreading in all directions in the city. In the direction of the spread, shops were closed quickly, and the people who were reluctant to leave closed their doors and windows tightly. Put the bed and wooden box at home against the door.

When the ordered cavalry rushed across the street anxiously, a group of more than 300 people took advantage of the chaos in the city and divided into several groups to rush to the imperial city along the lanes that had been detected in advance.

At this time, the imperial palace was in a mess, the soldiers and horses of the imperial city had been taken away by the emperor, and no one could be seen in the main roads. Only a few eunuchs remained among the palace buildings.

Figures in black clothes sewed with splendid peonies shuttled back and forth, and Tu Shifei, Wang Feiying, and Yang Huaixiong each held iron whips, big guns, and big knives, followed behind the burly scholar named Qin Huaimian, and walked along the red walls on both sides. After passing through this long palace road, they entered this palace that they had never been before.

Upstairs in Chengtian Gate, Jiuyu, dressed in plain clothes, closed his eyes to feel the warmth of the sun on his face, and when he heard footsteps below, he slowly opened his eyes to look at the scholar and the more than 300 people below.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he nodded towards them, jumped up, stepped on the city wall and descended, and together with a few eunuchs, led everyone to the Tai Chi Palace.

"Where do you arrange for me to hide?"

Qin Huaimian looked at the surrounding high walls and buildings, feeling inexplicably excited in his heart, the young eunuch walking in front of him raised his orchid finger and put it to the corner of his mouth to chuckle.

"Mr. Qin Lang is still afraid that our family will harm you, so come with us. This imperial palace is huge. There are too many palaces, pavilions, and courtyards on the side of Taiji Palace alone."

That's right, in terms of familiarity with this place, the eunuchs who led the way grew up here, even if they have lived here for several months, they may not be aware of it.

Qin Huaimian and the others stopped talking, and silently followed the eunuch who led the way through the Liangyi Gate and the Ganlu Hall, passed the Xuanwu Gate, walked east along the side street of Xi Neiyuan, walked through the slightly narrow palace passage, and walked down the imperial city wall. Enter the right storage library.

They're going to be here for a long time.

The news of the Shatuo people's withdrawal from Chang'an has spread from the Yanxing Gate at this moment, and the cavalry who galloped to Qingleng Street, carrying the news, chased after the emperor's chariot who had passed Anyi Square and arrived at Mingde Gate.

Meeting the three generals Zhang Guiba who was coming down from the side door Qixia Gate, Huang Chao lifted the curtain when he heard the news, and the three brothers hurried over and knelt down without waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Your Majesty, there is chaos in the city. The three brothers and I are looking for His Majesty to guard his side, and finally we are here waiting for the imperial chariot."

The old man lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the three of them with a stiff expression on his face, wanting to curse a few words, but thought that he would also escape from the imperial city?

"Get up, three generals. I know you are loyal, so go out of the city with my chariot, wait for the troops to be rectified, and then fight bloody with the Shatuo people and Fengxiang army!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Guiba and the three clapped their hands together and got up.

When the friendship between the monarch and his ministers grew stronger, a cavalier in the city chased him up. Before the horse stopped, the visitor turned over vigorously, and quickly ran more than ten steps away from the imperial chariot, and told the eunuch the news he had received. After a while, the eunuch lowered his eyebrows and walked quickly, came to the curtain outside the carriage, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Shatuo people have withdrawn from the city gate."

The old man who was talking to Zhang Guiba was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the eunuch, who nodded and added.

"Just ordered the rider to send a message, but he hasn't left yet."

"Call him here!"

The messenger cautiously approached the imperial chariot, and the emperor asked him what he would answer one by one. After a long time, the emperor, who was listening quietly, suddenly slapped the wall of the chamber, startling the queen inside.

"His Majesty."

When the woman was about to ask what was going on, the husband across from him raised his face and laughed loudly, got up and lifted the curtain and walked out, waving to the crowd of civil and military officers and the soldiers who followed him.

"The thieves are single and weak, and they are simply bluffing people. They will follow me back to the palace and sit in Chang'an."

Shang Rang and Wang Bo's troops were retreating after their defeat, and Feng Xiang's military governor made Zheng Tian go unimpeded, but he only pretended to attack the west gate of Chang'an, while Li Keyong in the north, according to the exact news, should not have gone south at all, but still The suspicious strategy laid down by the Shatuo cavalry.

"But I have to ask, how did you lose the battle to the north!"

On the way back to the imperial city, the cavalrymen who appeased the people were shouting along the streets, and most of them chose to stay at home, and it would not be too late to go out after they had a thorough understanding of the situation in the city.

Soon, the emperor's chariot drove through the long streets and returned to the imperial city, and everything was as usual.

The old man sat down on the Golden Luan Hall, preparing to summon Meng Juehai and Geng Qing.

　There is only one chapter tonight as a foreshadowing, and tomorrow will be updated soon.
