At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 681 Luoyang belongs to my king
Luoshui passes through the city and divides the entire Luoyang city into two halves, the north and the south. The imperial city is located in the northwest of Luoyang city. , Tianjin Bridge and Xingjin Bridge.At this moment, Gao Bufan was standing on the top of Duanmen, looking solemnly at Tang Jun who passed the Tianjin Bridge like a tide.

Since Tang Jun appeared here, Wang Xuanying was obviously defeated, but Yuchi Jingde hadn't arrived yet. Did the old Wei really lose the chain this time?
Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde rode across the Tianjin Bridge and came to Duanmen.At this time, the sun was just rising in the east, and the rising sun was the first to shine on the tall end gate, dyeing half of Gao Bufan's body golden.

At this time, both Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde noticed the young man standing on the Duanmen Gate, his complexion suddenly changed, and the latter even blurted out: "Gao Changqing!"

Li Xiaogong was slightly startled, although he didn't know Gao Bufan, but when he saw this person's demeanor, he knew that the background was not simple. It wasn't until Changsun Shunde uttered these three words that he suddenly realized that this son was actually the famous King of Qi— — Gao Changqing!

Changsun Shunde's complexion fluctuated, at this time he finally understood why the internal response had failed, and why Wang Xuanying suddenly withdrew his troops. Dare Gao Changqing had already taken the lead in controlling the imperial city.

"Changsun Hengan, you are really a good son of my eldest grandson's family!" Changsun Shunde stared intently at Changsun Hengan beside Gao Bufan, with an indescribably bitter expression.

The eldest grandson Heng'an said indifferently: "I forgot to tell Uncle Shunde, long before you, King Qi had already found Heng'an."

Changsun Shunde nodded and said: "So you just followed the plan and became a double agent to help Gao Changqing monitor our every move, while Gao Changqing used us to contain most of the defenders in the city and took the opportunity to control the imperial city."

The eldest grandson Heng'an said calmly: "That's true, but Uncle Shunde also left behind. The Yu Wenhu guarding the gate of Jiuzhou turned out to be one of you. It can be seen that Uncle Shunde did not fully trust Heng'an."

The eldest grandson Shunde also said frankly: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and each has his own master, so Uncle Shunde doesn't blame you, and you don't blame Uncle Shunde either!"

Changsun Chang immediately snorted coldly, and angrily said: "Changsun Shunde, what about you kidnapping Heng'an's wife and children?"

The eldest Sun Shunde sighed and said: "I was thinking about the safety of Heng'an's wife and children, and I didn't intend to do harm. Now it seems that I did something wrong."

"You are more than wrong, you are very wrong, as you said, people have their own ambitions, each has its own master, I don't blame you for doing things for Li Tang, but you should not treat your clansmen with such inferior means, From now on, my eldest Sun Chang's branch will have nothing to do with your eldest Sun Shunde's branch, so I can take care of myself!" Changsun Chang said sharply.

Changsun Shunde nodded bitterly: "That's fine, you and I will completely sever ties in the future. From now on, life and death, honor and disgrace have nothing to do with each other!"

After Changsun Shunde finished speaking, his eyes turned to Gao Bufan, he cupped his hands and said: "King Qi is really brave, he sneaked into Luoyang with a rich body to do things, it is really admirable, if I know that King Qi is here, I will definitely not I will find the elder Sun Hengan."

Gao Bufan said indifferently: "It's just that you underestimated me!"

Changsun Shunde shook his head and said: "I dare to underestimate the king of Qi, but I just missed it. I didn't expect that Wang Shichong, who is as cunning as Wang Shichong, would have been deceived by the king of Qi. If I expected it to be true, the king of Qi stationed outside the Liyang warehouse is actually It's just a cover-up."

Seeing that Gao Bufan did not deny it, Changsun Shunde continued: "King Qi's trick to escape the golden cicada is really good, but there is one thing I don't understand. Since King Qi sneaked into Luoyang City, why didn't he arrange for foreign aid? Do you really think that he can do it on his own? Can we take Luoyang City?"

As soon as the words were spoken, flames rose into the sky from the direction of Jianchun Gate, Gao Bufan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, because this was the signal he had agreed with Yuan Chengye, as long as Yuchi Jingde led the army into the city, he would set fire to the direction of Jianchun Gate.

"How do you know that the king didn't arrange foreign aid?" Gao Bufan pointed with a smile: "Hey, foreign aid is coming soon, isn't it?"

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde looked back subconsciously, and found that the Dingdingmen Street behind them was normal. Just when they thought they were being played by Gao Bufan, the ground shook slightly.

"No, it's cavalry!" Li Xiaogong, as expected of a veteran in the battlefield, immediately realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, the rapid sound of horseshoes came faintly soon. First, countless Tang soldiers who had discarded their helmets and armor appeared in sight. Then, a cavalry with animal pattern armor rushed out across the ground, chasing and killing those Tang soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.

Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde were all trembling with fear. After defeating Wang Xuanying before, they split into two groups. One route went east to pursue and kill Jianchunmen, while the other route went straight to the imperial city in the north of the city. Now they were chased and slaughtered by Qi cavalry. This Tang army was exactly the one that went east to chase and kill Wang Xuanying.

"Withdraw!" Li Xiaogong was decisive, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, bypassing the imperial city, and fled to Hui'an Gate in the north.

This time, in order to take a boat down the river and attack Luoyang City by surprise, the [-] Tang troops led by Li Xiaogong were all infantry. If it was a positional battle, Li Xiaogong still had the confidence to wrestle with the cavalry, but this is not a positional battle, and Still in the case of losing the opportunity, the opponent's cavalry drove a group of rout soldiers from their own side to kill them. There was no need for the opponent's cavalry to attack, and their own positions would be disrupted by the rout soldiers. save.

So Li Xiaogong decisively led the army to retreat, a bit like a poisonous snake stinging his hand, and a strong man cutting off his wrist!

A flash of astonishment flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, this Li Xiaogong really lived up to his reputation, the reaction was fast enough!
At this time, the defeated troops of the Tang army scrambled to escape across the Tianjin Bridge. Yuchi Jingde also led the cavalry to arrive, biting their tails and beheading them. The bridge railing jumps onto Luoshui, just like dumpling.

Yuchi Jingde ignored the Tang army who jumped into the river, led the cavalry directly across the bridge, and continued to hunt down Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde in the direction of Hui'an Gate. As long as the Tang army was completely dispersed, the rest would not be a threat.

At this time, Gao Bufan also decisively ordered to open the right door, and led the palace guards to rush out and beat the dog in the water.

Gao Bufan ordered someone to bring a war horse, and chased him towards Hui'an Gate with a knife. Whether it was Li Xiaogong or Changsun Shunde, they were all rare talents, even if they couldn't be captured alive, they had to be eliminated!

Now Gao Qi and Li Tang are already torn apart. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself, so we must do everything possible to weaken the other party.

Let's say that Li Xiaogong and Changsun Shunde led nearly [-] Tang troops out of the city from Hui'an Gate, and fled all the way to the north.

After chasing for more than ten miles in one breath, Yuchi Jingde finally caught up with Li Xiaogong's commander-in-chief, his spear flew up, stabbing several of Li Xiaogong's personal soldiers off the horse, Li Xiaogong himself lay on the horse's back, and was about to rush into a dense forest Inside, there was only a sound of collapse, and a sharp arrow pierced through the air, hitting Li Xiaogong's mount right in the middle.

The horse let out a mournful roar, the horse stumbled and fell to the edge of the woods, Li Xiaogong on the horse's back obviously fell hard, and struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.

Yuchi Jingde was overjoyed, rode his horse forward, stretched out his hand to copy, lifted Li Xiaogong up, laughed loudly and said: "Caught a big fish!"

At this time, Gao Bufan also rode his horse to arrive, holding a bow in his hand, obviously he shot the arrow just now.

"Report to King Qi, Li Xiaogong will be caught at last!" Yuchi Jingde grinned loudly, and walked up to Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan saw the front of "Li Xiaogong" clearly at this moment, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "This person is not Li Xiaogong, we have been fooled!"

It turned out that this person was indeed not Li Xiaogong, he just changed into Li Xiaogong's clothes, no wonder he kept lying on the horse's back to cover up his figure.

When Yuchi Jingde heard that this person was not Li Xiaogong, he couldn't help being furious, grabbed this person's collar and raised it over his head, and asked sharply, "Who are you, and where is Li Xiaogong?"

This person was stubborn, and said with a sneer, "I'm General Manager Li's personal soldier, and now I'm in your hands, I want to kill you or cut me to pieces, I'll do whatever I want, how can there be so much nonsense!"

Yuchi Jingde sneered and said: "Okay, then I will fulfill you!"

Yuchi Jingde was about to break this man's neck, but Gao Bufan waved his hands and said calmly: "General Yuchi, let him go, this man is a man, his loyalty is commendable!"

Yuchi Jingde heard the words and threw this person off the horse, and said coldly: "You are lucky, run for your life!"

This person gave Gao Bufan a complicated look, and was about to leave when Gao Bufan suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

The man stopped and said with a sneer, "Dignified King Qi, do you want to go back on what you say?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said with a faint smile: "It's not that this king regrets it, I just asked you to bring a message to Li Shimin, tell him that Luoyang City already belongs to this king, and this king of Hanoi County is also determined to win it, let him go back to Changping County .”

The man frowned and said, "King Qi is domineering, what if King Qin doesn't obey!"

"Then the king will order Li Jing to take Hedong, and then he will not be able to retreat even if he wants to." Gao Bufan said calmly.

The person's complexion changed slightly, he cupped his hands, turned around and strode away, and disappeared into the dense forest.
