People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1112: The sight of blood on the first day is a good omen for Daqing; in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, murderous intentions are hidden

The nine-foot-long dark gold dragon-patterned heavy halberd stretched forward slightly.

The heavy halberd is tilted horizontally, and the blade is slightly cold.

Above the main hall, it points directly to Ashina Yuangui.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan from the heavy halberd. They were surprised and also a little confused, when did Li Xuan get the halberd.

Soon, everyone's eyes fell on the two round hammers in Ashina Yuangui's hands.

People who are familiar with Li Xuan immediately understood.

What Li Xuan is best known for, and what she is best at, is either the long sword or the long spear.

In front of the two five-foot-long round hammers, even the long sword has to be restrained, let alone the long sword.

Now he is wearing a nine-foot heavy halberd, just in time to avoid being restrained by the hammer.

But can Li Xuan really unleash the power of the halberd?

A hint of doubt arose in many people's minds.

……

Ashina Gudulu's face was extremely heavy.

Looking at the heavy halberd in Li Xuan's hand, he knew that the news about Ashina Yuangui had been leaked in advance.

This trip to Chang'an by the Turkic chiefs from the twenty-four states not only welcomed Ashina Nisugeng and Ashina Gana, but also assisted the Turkic people from Luoyang, Chang'an, to return to the grassland. The most important thing was to attack the Tang Dynasty and the opposition. The morale of the military was improved, and the countries in the Western Region were wooed and frightened.

Li Xuan, King of Nanchang, was a leader among the new generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty.

Defeating or even killing him would deal a heavy blow to Datang's military morale.

Especially as their plans went bankrupt one by one, attacking Li Xuan was their last chance to save their face.

They didn't even care whether they would offend the emperor to death and left them all in Chang'an.

What they want is to kill Li Xuan.

But now, it has become very difficult to kill Li Xuan.

This is especially true when the heavy halberd held by Li Xuan can almost offset the advantage of Yuan Gui's heavy hammer to a great extent.

Ashina Gudulu, it will be difficult to kill Li Xuan today.

Seeing Ashina Yuangui slowly lift the heavy hammer in his hand, Li Zhi chuckled and said, "Since you two dears are ready, let's get started."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xuan and Ashina Yuangui bowed down almost at the same time, and then straightened up at almost the same time. The next moment, they both moved at the same time.

The figures flickered, and two figures shot towards the opposite side at the same time.

At this moment, both Li Xuan and Ashina Yuangui were incredibly fast.

Ashina Yuangui, who originally looked a little clumsy, no longer pretended to be clumsy at this moment, and moved as fast as a wild leopard.

He is fast, and Li Xuan is faster.

The heavy halberd was raised in mid-air, and while it was falling, Li Xuan had already rushed towards Ashina Yuangui.

But at this moment, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and other battlefield veterans simultaneously discovered that Li Xuan's speed was three points faster than they originally expected.

At this moment, they could even see the horror on Ashina Yuangui's face.

The heavy halberd fell from the top of his head and struck directly at Ashina Yuangui's head with incomparable power.

Ashina Yuangui didn't hesitate at all. He hit the top of his head with two hammers in his hand in an instant. He was about to hit the falling heavy halberd directly and then twist it down.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's footsteps stopped, his left hand suddenly pulled out with all his strength, and the heavy halberd was immediately withdrawn.

The lightning had reached its limit, and the next moment, the heavy halberd was thrust forward fiercely like a poisonous dragon.

With a loud "boom", two heavy hammers hit the heavy halberd hard at almost the same time.

The position was slightly wrong, and the next moment, a huge twisting force appeared at the end of the heavy halberd, and then it was violently thrown to one side.

At this moment, Li Xuan took off his hands as if he had expected it, and then walked in the direction of the heavy halberd.

Just when the heavy halberd had reached its limit like lightning and was about to stop completely, Li Xuan suddenly put both hands on the heavy halberd.

Then he pushed hard in the direction of the heavy halberd. The next moment, a heavy hammer had already been released.

Before the force of collapse subsided, Li Xuan pulled the rebounded heavy halberd and pushed it back, and a head came close to him.

The sharp halberd blade sank into his throat instantly, and blood spattered.

……

Li Xuan stopped, held the tail of the halberd with one hand in her left hand, stepped forward with her left foot, and kept her right foot as steady as a mountain root.

Blood flowed rapidly from the halberd blade and spread all over the dragon pattern of the heavy halberd.

Li Xuan turned sideways and raised his head, his eyes already falling on the halberd blade.

The cold halberd blade had pierced into the soft throat, warm blood flowed down, and there was an extremely stunned face on it.

At this moment, his right hand relaxed weakly.

With a "dang" sound, the heavy hammer hit the ground hard, making a shallow pit in the ground.

Hearing this loud noise, the ministers in the palace suddenly seemed to be shocked and couldn't help but shudder.

"died?"

"Why did you die?"

"Why so fast?"

Before many civil servants could see clearly what was happening, Li Xuan's heavy halberd had already penetrated Ashina Yuangui's throat.

As fast as lightning. But the many generals on the other side and the Turks behind them all saw it clearly.

Although Li Xuan's own strength is tyrannical, Li Xuan still borrows the power of Ashina Yuangui. Ashina Yuangui's reaction speed seems to be slower...

Or to be more precise, Ashina Motoki's hammer was too heavy, so heavy that he didn't react at all.

"I'm afraid this person has never been on the battlefield. It's a pity to die like this." Li Xuan's voice sounded faintly, and the eyes of the officials fell on Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the Turks. In an instant, the face of the Turk chief of the twenty-four states became extremely ugly.

But most of all, the envoys from other countries around him could not help but nod their heads at this time.

Indeed, the Turks did not go to the battlefield very often.

The Turkic cavalry mobilized by the Tang Dynasty have always belonged to the left and right guards, and these people are far more loyal to the Tang Dynasty than others.

Moreover, the leader of these Turkic cavalry was the son of Ashina Zhong, the Duke of Xue, and Ashina Qian, the Minister of Taipu Temple.

Especially now that Ashina Xun is in charge of Shanzhou, and the one currently in Liangyi Palace is Ashina Xun's son, Ashina Sizhen.

The Turkic tribes in the grassland were able to join the left and right Xiaowei, and they were very loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

For example, among the twenty-four chiefs of the Turkic tribes, although all of them acted in unison, in fact, many of them were still loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that he is coerced by others, so there is nothing he can do about it.

The Turkic cavalry who truly opposed the Tang Dynasty did lack sufficient battlefield experience, especially in large army operations.

People's hearts fluctuated even more.

……

Li Xuan turned around, holding a heavy halberd with a dark gold dragon pattern in both hands, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Today is a banquet, but I let the banquet see blood. Please punish me."

"It doesn't matter, seeing blood on the first day is a good sign." Li Zhi nodded with great satisfaction. If it weren't for the ministers watching, Li Zhi might have been unable to help laughing out loud.

"Deliver the message." Li Zhi turned sideways, and countless officials of the Tang Dynasty in the palace stood up and bowed at the same time: "I am the king of Nanchang, the governor of Changzhou, and the governor of Changzhou Xuan. I am the general manager of the march of Luoxue Road. I will command five thousand people on the left guard and five thousand people on the right guard." , lead the army and guard with five thousand troops on the right, garrison guard on the right with five thousand, Xiao Xiao Guard on the left with five thousand, as well as Changzhou Governor's Office, Heyuan Guard, and all the state guards to attack Luozhe, please come here."

"Your Majesty, the King of Nanchang, the Governor of Changzhou, and the Governor of Changzhou, Xuan, respectfully accept the sacred decree. Long live your Majesty!" Li Xuan knelt on one knee, holding a heavy halberd in his hand, and lowered his head.

Li Zhi raised his head and looked at the ministers in the palace: "Shang Shu, Zhong Shu, the three provinces, the six ministries, the nine temples, and the five prisons are under our command. All ministries will work hard to cooperate and strive to completely eliminate Tubo within three to five years."

"I obey the decree. I wish your Majesty's military fortunes to be prosperous, and I wish the Tang Dynasty's military fortunes to be prosperous." The ministers shouted in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the hall.

All the foreign envoys in the palace were full of awe towards the Tang Dynasty at this moment.

"Shang Yuan Wu, get up."

After the emperor gave an order, countless beautiful palace envoys entered the main hall gracefully. Immediately, countless soldiers holding horizontal swords lurked under the endless prosperity.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, murderous intentions were hidden.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help lowering their eyebrows and lowering their eyes.

But some people couldn't help but look ahead. Ashina Yuangui, who was originally lying on the ground, had disappeared.

There were only two giant hammers lying there peacefully.

……

Li Xuan stood on the left side of the palace door, cupped her hands and put them into the black lacquered wooden box.

"Thank you, Brother Wang." Li Xuan bowed deeply to Li Jingjia, Prince of Peiping County.

Without Li Jingjia's help, Li Xuan really wouldn't be able to get this heavy halberd.

Li Jingjia gently pushed the black lacquered wooden box towards Li Xuan, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a destiny. If you win today, this heavy halberd will be yours."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and bowed solemnly to the emperor on the high platform: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi seemed to sense it, turned his head, glanced at Li Xuan, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xuan bowed deeply again. When Li Xuan straightened up, the emperor was already looking elsewhere.

"This dark gold dragon-patterned halberd was actually made by His Majesty after Duke Wei's golden halberd with a painted stick. It is very powerful, but it is generally difficult for ordinary people to use. It's a shame that you still remember it and can still use it. So majestic." Li Jingjia couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, it's not that I'm using it too well. It's actually those Turks whose reaction is a little worse after all. Maybe the war horses can make up for it, but on the ground, once they fight, they will only lose their lives." Li Xuan endured He kept shaking his head slightly.

The weakness of the Turks has been completely exposed today. If they want to make up for this weakness in the future, they will not be able to make up for it without the lives of 100,000 people.

"Yes!" Li Jingjia nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go and have a drink together. His Majesty gave you this heavy halberd. In addition, there is a good thing waiting for you at your home."

"A good thing?" Li Xuan's face was full of astonishment: "What a good thing?"

……

The wine is over thirty, and the food is over five flavors.

The cold winter wind came out, and Li Xuan's hot cheeks finally became cooler after leaving the palace.

At the banquet before, many people came to toast him, even the three brothers Li Xian, Li Xian and Li Dan came to toast him.

I actually drank a lot.

But fortunately, Li Xuan remembered that the emperor and Empress Wu were above, so she spoke as little as possible.

Shaking his head and putting everything out of his mind, Li Xuan took Li Zhu and a dozen other guards into Kaihuafang.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Xuan saw Liu Jinyu standing on the steps leading to the second courtyard with a cold expression.

The maid on one side held an imperial edict in her hand.

Inexplicably, Li Xuan felt that this scene was so familiar.
