Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 106: I hold the bow and arrow, and the public holds the spear to follow me, even though millions of people are like me!

Of course, An Lushan was very satisfied with Yan Zhuang's proposal.But even though he was uneducated, he knew not to act too eagerly.

So after making three formal applications and three resignations, on the first day of the first lunar month of the 15th year of Tianbao's reign, he formally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang Palace. His country was named Dayan, his reign was named Shengwu, and his capital was Luoyang.

There is also a more humorous history-blind appraiser about this matter. If you hear someone bragging about the "Battle of Xiangji Temple" where both sides thought the other was a rebel, you can stretch your legs.When the war started, it had been a year and a half since An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor, and the Emperor of Dayan had changed from An Lushan to An Qingxu.Even if you are a fool among the rebels, you should know that your surname is not Tang but Yan.

As for the Tang army killing 1916 people in an eight-hour formation, just listen to this. People who don't know think that the Tang army used lightsabers and people to kill.The first unilateral battle in which [-] soldiers were killed per day with detailed evidence can be traced back to the Somme River in [-]. It was still a battle involving poison gas bombs, artillery, Maxim, and British generals' head-on-death charge. The number of casualties is supported by many aspects.

What's more, some people exaggerated this battle as a turning point in the Anshi Rebellion. This kind of historical ignorance is really enough.You said he was the turning point for Tang Jun?That's not right. The Tang army won Chang'an and Luoyang, but was defeated in Yecheng. From then on, it fell into the tragedy of unlimited conscription and corvee... You said that he was the turning point of the rebels. That's even more wrong. The rebels were also panting after defeating Yecheng.

The biggest impact of this battle was that it was won. In fact, the official name was not called the Battle of Xiangji Temple. It was clearly called the "Battle to Recover Chang'an."

If we say that [-] rebels were killed in the entire process of regaining Chang'an, it is still reasonable.

The topic turned back to the present. The news that An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang soon spread back to Chang'an.But the people of Chang'an are very considerate. This year is still celebrated with colorful lanterns and feasting, and they are even happier than they were before An Lushan's rebellion.

There are only three reasons that make them happy: first, Li Longji finally abdicated; second, Yang Guozhong and other traitors were exiled or executed, which was very satisfying; third, and most importantly, Emperor Taizong was like lightning. Return!Come!Got it!
That man, he’s hot when he comes back!
Therefore, this year is not only a celebration of the New Year, but also a celebration of His Majesty Taizong’s sanctification.

Regarding Li Longji's evaluation, people in Chang'an are now gradually letting themselves go. Various jokes about Li Longji are emerging one after another. In addition to the first "The Tang Dynasty was saved" made up by Li Qing, there are also such things as what if someone had brought him 15 years ago. If he were killed, his death would have contributed more to the Tang Dynasty than the rest of his life combined.

There is also "He raised the average age of the court, but lowered the average IQ". This was made up by Li Qing at first glance.

The sons of good families hang out in the county government offices or the imperial government offices every day. What they want is whether they can join the army. They have no other meaning - they just want to follow Emperor Taizong to quell the rebellion and wipe out the rebels.

The Yamen, who was annoyed by the harassment by the good family members, had no choice but to ask Li Shimin for his opinion.

After comprehensively considering the actual situation in Tongguan, Li Shimin issued an edict to appease the emotions of the good family members, and moved them with emotion and reason. This stopped the trend of joining the army.

After spending the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in peace, the rebels, under the personal leadership of An Lushan, claimed an army of 20 and marched all the way to Tongguan.

It was true that rumors reached An Lushan's ears, but he didn't believe in the apparition of Emperor Taizong at all, let alone that Li Longji would be easily deposed from the throne.

In his opinion, this was just a trick by Tang Ting to make him afraid and give up attacking Tongguan. He knew Li Longji too well.Although the old man is a fool, he is dormant in the Daming Palace like an old spider. No matter what happens in Chang'an, he will know it clearly.

Since Tang Ting released smoke bombs, Tongguan must be empty. If we don't attack now, how long will it take?
After learning the news that the rebels were marching towards Tongguan, Li Shimin returned to the Zhenguan Dynasty and brought Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong to Tianbao for 15 years, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the rebels and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop.

The only pity is that the passage for the army to enter other planes has not yet been opened. Otherwise, Li Shimin would definitely bring the Xuanjia Army here.

On the third day of February, An Lushan's troops arrived in Shaanzhou.

On the Xian Mountain, Li Shimin had already arranged his troops to set up an ambush.He didn't bring many people with him, but only selected five hundred elite cavalry.In terms of nature, it is a two-way game with dates and without dates. If the people in Anlushan fall into the trap, it will be an unexpected surprise; if they do not fall into the trap, there will be no loss.

"My dear brother, do you dare to go with me to the rebel camp?" Li Shimin got on his horse and invited Li Qing.

"I won't go." Li Qing rubbed the back of his head and said with a dry smile, thinking, do you still have to take me with you for such a thing?

"Oh? Brother Xian, aren't you afraid?" Li Shimin laughed heartily. It was not easy to regain his place with Brother Xian verbally.

Li Qing rolled his eyes, not caring about face, and told him clearly: "Yes, I am indeed a bit scared."

"Then I won't force you, virtuous brother." Li Shimin didn't force him either, he just turned around and left.

Li Qing quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I can't ride a horse... Just wait for me to follow you in the whole car."

"How can you ride a carriage in the battle formation?" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said, "My dear brother, I'd better wait here. I'll come back when my brother is gone."

As he spoke, Li Shimin turned his horse's head and rode away with Yuchi Gong, who was carrying a weapon that looked like an extended toilet brush.

Li Shimin had not run two steps when he heard a strange roar from behind. He turned around and saw a strange iron box that he couldn't see clearly coming towards him with billowing smoke and dust. When he took out his arrow, he opened his bow and nocked it. At that time, he also came closer.Sitting in the belly of that iron box was none other than his good brother Li Qing.

"Brother Li!"

Li Shimin watched as Li Qing took off the transparent thing on one side of the iron box, stretched out his head and poked his head out to greet him.At the same time, the strange iron box made a harsh noise.

"Brother, what is this?"

Although he didn't know what the iron box was, this thing full of masculine and domineering beauty deeply attracted Li Shimin's attention immediately.

"I am also a horse!" Li Qing said loudly.

"Horse? It doesn't look like it to me!" Li Shimin leaned over and touched it up and down like a curious baby. The horse under him also kept snoring, as if refusing to recognize his ancestors with this "same kind". .

Yuchi Gong also came up, patted him up and down, and said to Li Qing with a smile: "Prince Qin, I, Lao Hei, don't think it's the same. This horse looks like it has no mouth. He shouldn't eat grass, right?"

"Of course I won't eat it. This is the car I just talked about, named 'Hummer'!" Li Qing introduced it very solemnly.

"Hummer? You are really brave!" Li Shimin's eyes were shining as he looked at Li Qing's precious horse with envy.

Of course Li Qing knew what he meant, so he smiled and said to him: "After the war is over, this car will be given to you, but the prerequisite is that you must learn how to drive it."

"Oh my dear, dear brother, a gentleman should not take away someone's love..." Li Shimin was still giving in, but in fact he was already thinking about whether to add Zhaoling's Six Horses to Seven Horses, just engrave this "Hummer" "!
Li Qing glanced at him sideways: "You idiot, if you don't want it, forget it!"

"Hey, dear brother, I just want to be polite to you. Tell me why you are so ungrateful!" Li Shimin couldn't help but become anxious.

"Damn it, I'll give it to you." Li Qing said with a smile, "I'm not kidding you, Brother Li, I really can't ride a horse, I can drive a car... This car has a big target, don't scare the rebels away anymore. , I’ll just stand aside and watch for a while.”

"No problem!" Li Shimin reached out and gave Li Qing a high-five: "That's it, my dear brother will teach me how to drive when I get back!"

Before Li Qing could speak, Yuchi Gong came up to him with a salivating face.

"Prince Qin, look at this..."

"Steamed buns, do you want them too?" Li Qing felt a little goosebumps as he looked at this black Gundam-like man looking at him shyly.Yuchi Gong smiled naively and said: "Haha... King Qin is really powerful. He can see through what I, Old Hei, are thinking at a glance... Actually, the purpose of having such a, um, Hummer is not the purpose. The main reason is to show off in front of the old demon Cheng. "

"No problem, but this won't work. I can only give you a smaller one than this one." Li Qing reached out and patted Yu Chigong's horse head: "After all, you don't want to overstep, right?"

"That's natural, that's natural!" Yu Chigong grinned like a lotus flower, "Then thank you, King Qin!"

Chatting along the way, it didn't take long to arrive not far from the rebel camp.

"Brother Li, you go first." Li Qing thought for a moment, took out a loudspeaker from his bag, and a powerful bow modified by a pulley and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the bow and pulled it for a full moon.

"This bow doesn't work, dear brother, it's too light." Li Shimin handed the bow back.

Li Qing did not answer, but said: "Try to put an arrow up."

Li Shimin did as he was told, bowed and nocked an arrow in one go, and fired an arrow at the trees nearby.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow shot through the tree.

"Hiss...this bow..." Li Shimin looked at the bow in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down.

For a man who is good at shooting, this is as precious as a rare treasure.

"The speaker over there is a loudspeaker. You press the button above and point the narrow end towards your mouth to speak." Li Qing introduced the speaker again.

Li Shimin looked at the trumpet and strong bow in his hand with satisfaction. Without thinking, he threw the original Baodiao Bow into the car.

Oh, men are always in love with the new and dislike the old.

He rode away with Yuchi Gong and headed towards the rebel camp.

Not far from the main entrance of the camp, Li Shimin stopped his horse and said to Yu Chigong beside him: "Jingde, do you still remember what I said to you back then?"

"Of course I remember!" Even if Li Shimin didn't say it, Yuchi Gong would never forget it.

"Hahaha..." Li Shimin smiled cheerfully and said to Yu Chigong: "I hold a bow and arrow, and you follow me with a horse and horse. Even if he has an army of millions, what can he do?"

"Yeah, so what if we have an army of one million people!" Yuchi Gong smiled boldly.

"However, it would be boring if they ran away when they saw me." Li Shimin chuckled, raised his bow and nocked an arrow and said to Yu Chigong: "Jingde, guess at this distance, can I shoot the guy on the watchtower on the left? people?"

"This... must be at least nearly two hundred steps, right?" Yuchi Gong made a visual inspection, and he couldn't help but become more playful, and said to Li Shimin: "I pledge a hundred guan, and I bet that your majesty will not hit it!"

Li Shimin laughed: "Then Jingde, prepare a hundred strings and send them to the palace!"

After speaking, the arrow shot out quickly, and the man in the watchtower on the left covered his face and fell down.

"Your Majesty is still as majestic as before!" Yu Chigong said with emotion.

Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, and reached out for the loudspeaker beside him: "Listen to me! Li Shimin, the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, is here!"

After that, he fired another arrow, knocking down the soldier who was checking the injuries of his teammates.

"Tell your rebel leader An Lushan to come out and fight me to the death!"

The sound of the loudspeaker was very loud and soon reached An Lushan's ears.

"Arrogant! Arrogant!" An Lushan was furious, especially after learning from the forward communication that there were only two people on the other side, he became a desktop cleaning master.

He yelled and cursed: "Who dares to go out and fight with me to take down this thief who is pretending to be a ghost?"

He was confused, but the generals under his account were not confused. They were all muttering in their hearts about what method this man used to make his voice reach the central army's tent.

But no one dares to say that An Lushan's temper has become worse and worse since he came to the throne, and he kills people at every turn.Nowadays, even if anyone has an opinion, they don't dare to raise it face to face. They are afraid that if they are not careful, An Lushan will anger them. Even getting a beating is a trivial matter. The main reason is that they are afraid of losing their heads.

"Cui Qianyou!" An Lushan called the name of his first brave general (so-called).

"The general is here!" Cui Qianyou went out to hold his fists.

"You lead a few people and go and capture those two madmen! Life or death!"

"No!" Cui Qianyou didn't dare to neglect and took the order and left.

Cui Qianyou didn't believe the statement that there were only two people on the other side.To be on the safe side, he selected thirty armored cavalrymen who had experienced many battles, picked up their spears, mounted their horses, and headed out of the camp gate.

What he didn't expect was that there were really only two people standing there on horseback waiting for him.

"The generals are here to share their names!" Cui Qianyou pointed at Li Shimin with his spear.

Li Shimin pulled the reins and said loudly: "I am Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty! Who are you?"

"Pretend to be a ghost!" Cui Qianyou didn't believe it at all. How could he, Li Shimin, have the leisure to climb out of the grave?Besides, even if he did crawl out, how could he charge into the battle in person with his body of ten thousand gold?

He didn't believe a word of the records in the history books.In his opinion, it was nothing more than Li Shimin making it up just to promote his martial arts.

He snorted coldly: "Humph, since you don't tell the truth, I will have to let you be an unknown ghost!"

"Left and right! Up!" He pointed the spear in his hand, and the cavalry on both sides received the order and charged in the direction of Li Shimin.
