Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 143

"Li Yuanji!" As soon as Luo Cheng drove his horse to the battlefield, he saw Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang fighting around Li Yuanji, one left and one right, and Li Yuanji had no intention of dodging at all. It's the same as Liu Wuzhou desperately.

At this moment, Li Yuanji couldn't hear Jin Luocheng's words, he just kept fighting to his death.

Luo Cheng saw that Li Yuanji would not listen to him, and saw that the generals of the Tang army who accompanied Li Yuanji were standing there stupidly. He was angry in his heart, pulled one of the generals and asked, "Why don't you go to help the king of Qi? Didn't you see?" Is he one against two?"

Seeing Luo Cheng arrived, he seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly said: "General Luo, you are finally here. Liu Wuzhou has arrested the family members of Prince Qi's mansion. His Royal Highness heard that the nanny Chen was killed by hitting the wall, so he ignored it. , I have to go to the field in person, and I want Liu Wuzhou to pay for his life. No, Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and Song Jingang also came to the field to help. A thief is guilty."

The generals said with a downcast face: "General Luo, don't you know King Qi's temper? How dare we step forward."

At this time, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in the field were also shocked by Li Yuanji's force value.

Li Yuanji himself was not bad in force, and there was a sense of ruthlessness in the fight.Imagine if he was inferior, Li Yuan would not have admired him when he was 14 years old, and since then he has been entrusted with important use, and he has many sons, but not many of them are useful. , Li Yuanji is one of them.

Furthermore, Li Yuanji is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. Even if Li Yuanji's martial arts were good back then, he was not that outstanding.But don't look at who he has gotten close to in the past year.

In the past year, Li Yuanji's opponent on the field was Luo Cheng, but now it's Liu Wuzhou, it's really not enough!Even if Song Jingang was added, the two of them would still be beaten up.

Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang originally thought that Li Yuanji would be easy to capture, and after they were captured, they forced Luo Cheng to abandon his weapons and surrender. Li Yuanji had the same scruples, but he never expected that a little Li Yuanji would be so difficult to deal with.

When the two were beaten to the point of distress by Li Yuanji's desperate fighting style, Liu Wuzhou raised his weapon with both hands to block Li Yuanji's attack, and shouted at him helplessly: "Li Yuanji, don't fight anymore, if you fight again , I’ll have someone kill all the family members in your mansion!”

Song Jingang was kicked by Li Yuanji and fell to the side. Hearing what Liu Wuzhou said, he also covered his chest and echoed: "Yes, Li Yuanji, you put down your weapon quickly, or I will order my subordinates to kill you right now. Family members in the house."

"Put down the weapon? I'll let your mother's ass go..." Li Yuanji drew back the iron spear while cursing, and stabbed Liu Wuzhou.

"Everyone is driven to death by you, and you still want me to be captured without a fight? The rest of you, you can kill as you like. If you kill all the people in my house, you will give me an excuse to kill all the rebels and their families. At that time, don't think that surrendering the equipment will save your life." Li Yuanji was furious and snorted coldly.

"You..." Liu Wuzhou only felt his temples throbbing violently, his head hurting badly, and he felt as if he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot... Why did you provoke him?

For someone like him who doesn't recognize his relatives, he still expects to threaten him with hostages... It's impossible to say if he gets angry and massacres the city afterwards.

Liu Song's army also saw signs of it coming. It seems that the second king of Liu Song was defeated by Li Yuanji. The Turkic side was sniped by the Luo family army two days ago. Not to mention support.The generals of the Liu and Song armies couldn't hold back anymore, and they all came with sharp weapons and drove their horses.

One, two, three... In an instant, there were seven or eight people fighting around Li Yuanji, and the latter found it difficult to fight back.

One inattentively left his back to the enemy general, and when he saw the sword fell, the sharp spear head struck out in time, just blocking the sword of the general Liu Song's army in mid-air.

Li Yuanji turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Luo Cheng facing him sideways, holding a long spear to hold the enemy's weapon, so that he was not injured.

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

While fighting back the enemy general, Luo Cheng moved to Li Yuanji's side, and the two said back to back: "If I don't come, do you want to watch you die?"

Li Yuanji sneered twice and said, "What does it matter if I die or not? Do you care? Besides Yuwen Chengdu, is there anyone else in your eyes? I am nothing."

"Li Yuanji, stop making trouble."

"I'll say it again, whether I live or die is my own business. Luo Cheng, don't think that you can meddle in my affairs because I have you in my heart. Get out of here. I want to avenge my nanny and kill her with my own hands. Killed Liu and Song!"

Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang saw that the hostages could not threaten Li Yuanji at all, and also saw that Luo Cheng was very brave later on. More than a dozen generals were no match for him, so they were already timid. People want to take the opportunity to escape back to the city.

"Liu Wuzhou, stop!" Li Yuanji, who had been following Liu and Song closely, saw that they were about to escape, so he left behind a group of enemy generals and chased after them closely.

When Luo Cheng turned his head and saw Li Yuanji chasing Liu Song, he was startled, who knows if Liu and Song set up an ambush around the city, even if there was no ambush, going deep into the enemy's den and being outnumbered is a big taboo for military strategists.

Luo Cheng was no longer interested in fighting, and did not delay for a moment. He followed Li Yuanji closely, and the generals of the Tang Army behind him had already stepped forward to fight regardless of His Highness King Qi's orders. The generals are all on board, so what are you afraid of?Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Qi's threats never apply to General Luo.

The two armies of Tang and Liu fought together, the scene was chaotic, and each had casualties.

When Liu and Song turned their heads, damn it, why is this evil star still chasing after him!Is it over yet? !

Liu Wuzhou thought to himself that this would not work, Li Yuanji was chasing him so closely, the city gate would not be able to open, Liu Wuzhou made up his mind secretly, his decision was made.

Luo Cheng saw that the speed of the two had slowed down significantly, something must be wrong, but now that Li Yuanji was dazzled by hatred and impulse, how could he notice this, and he still pursued him relentlessly.

When Li Yuanji was about to make a move when the distance between them was half a foot, he saw Liu Wuzhou, who was only thinking about running away, suddenly turned around, using himself as the axis, brandished a big knife and slashed at Li Yuanji behind him in one fell swoop.

It's a good trick to drag the knife, and the left and right will either die or be injured.

Li Yuanji was terrified, and before he had time to react, he was dragged off his horse and rolled on the ground two or three times before he settled down.

Li Yuanji took a closer look, if he didn't get off his horse, he might have been plotted by Liu Wuzhou at this moment, and who else pulled him off his horse besides Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng jumped down together with Li Yuanji, and now he was on one knee, and as soon as he stood still, he grabbed Li Yuanji, fearing that he would make a mistake again: "Can you avenge your nanny Chen by being so reckless? In order not to drag you down, she chose to hit the wall and die, and now you are so desperately disregarding your own safety, what's the point of her death?"

"You let me just forget about it? Although she is not my own mother, she is closer than my own mother! If it weren't for her, I would have died on my own when I was still a baby more than [-] years ago." Li Yuanji said to him. Shouted, the bottom of his eyes were moist, and he couldn't hide the fragility in his heart while resentful.

Luo Cheng had never seen Li Yuanji like this before, so he froze in place for a moment.He hadn't heard him mention these things. In fact, when he was with Li Yuanji, he was mostly asking about him, what he liked and disliked, and rarely mentioned his own affairs. The reason why he knew something was because I also heard a little bit from Li An, Li Erge or other people.

Luo Cheng didn't hold back Li Yuanji for a moment, so he let him swing his weapon and broke the leg of the horse Liu Wuzhou was riding on. Liu Wuzhou was panicked, and he didn't know where to throw the weapon.

Liu Wuzhou, who had been knocked off his horse, didn't dare to be brave anymore, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his hands, and said to Luo Cheng, "General Luo, I would like to surrender my troops and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. I would like to go back to Chang'an City with you. Wait for the emperor's order."

Just as Luo Cheng was about to speak, he saw that Li Yuanji's iron spear had already been handed out.

"Li Yuanji—" Luo Cheng wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Li Yuanji turned his head, glanced at Luo Cheng, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and there was a moment of joy in his eyes, he looked at Liu Wuzhou and said: "Where is it, it's too late to surrender now?"

Liu Wuzhou looked down at the weapon piercing his chest in amazement, looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief, and fell to the ground.

Li Yuanji withdrew his weapon, looked down at Liu Wuzhou's body, and said coldly, "I really don't have a long memory. How did I let you live until now? I told you that even if you surrendered, I would still kill you." you."

And Song Jingang had already fled in a panic when Liu Wuzhou was kicked off his horse. Since he couldn't enter the city, he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he escaped.

Looking at the current situation, even if he was allowed to escape into the city, it might not be a good thing.The Tang army is strong, and it will be a matter of time before Bingzhou City is captured.Once Bingzhou City is captured, it's hard to say whether Li Yuanji will let him go.

Song Jingang was thinking about it, when Liu Wuzhou tested his idea - Li Yuanji hated the two of them to the bone, even if they surrendered, so what?It's not like a dead end.

Liu Wuzhou's death was still in front of him, Song Jingang shuddered all over, he didn't dare to delay any longer, hurry up, we don't want people, we don't want the city, he drove his horse and ran away in a panic.

When Li Yuanji finished killing Liu Wuzhou and wanted to chase Song Jingang again, the latter had already fled into the grove, and he was out of sight.

Liu Wuzhou died, and Song Jingang fled with a few scattered cronies. It was no longer a matter of course, and the state city was taken back.At that time, there was news that the Turkic Khan had asked the Emperor Tang for peace and was willing to bow down and become a minister. The Turks guarding the west all withdrew from Fenzhou City.

So far, the crisis in Chang'an City has basically been resolved.

Li Yuanji returned to Bingzhou City, and looked up at the city wall with a lonely expression. Now things are different, and the only concern in Bingzhou City is gone.

"My lord, my lord...the concubine is still alive, it's a great honor to see you." Liu Xiangyun was rescued by Tang Jun, and happily ran to Li Yuanji, holding his arm, and said gratefully.

As soon as Li Yuanji let go, Liu Xiangyun was thrown aside, looked at the former with confused eyes, and said in a low voice, "My lord..."

"I will arrange a funeral for the nanny, and let her be buried in a splendid manner. You go and observe filial piety for her. When the filial piety is over, I will find you a reliable person to marry."

When Liu Xiangyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and watched Li Yuanji leave, and then he realized what he said, and immediately screamed, wishing to rush forward and hug Li Yuanji's thigh: "My lord, this concubine is yours!" The person who died is your ghost, and the concubine is not going anywhere..."

"You don't have to marry if you don't want to. As long as I can remember, I often hear my nanny say that her hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. I will arrange a quiet house for you, and I will support you for a lifetime without worrying about food and drink. , until the end of your life."

If you are not in Bingzhou and Chang'an City, how can you see King Qi, how can you become Princess Qi if you can't see King Qi?

Only now did Liu Xiangyun realize that his backer was gone all this time, and cried out: "Mother, my mother... After you die, I will be alone and helpless, and now the king of Qi also despises me, don't want me It's..."

Li Yuanji had a dull expression on his face, and strode forward without stopping.

Liu Xiangyun is well aware of Li Yuanji's nature. Once he makes a decision, ten horses will not be able to pull him back. Thinking of this, he cried even harder, his whole body trembling: "My lord... I love you... "

Seeing that Li Yuanji was unmoved and was still in a hurry, Liu Xiangyun said in a hurry: "My lord, my mother is watching from the sky. She just died, so you drive me out of the house, and she will die with regret..."

Mentioning the Chen family, Li Yuanji's hasty footsteps did stop. Seeing this, Liu Xiangyun shrank back and murmured: "My lord..."

Li Yuanji clasped his hands behind his back, turned around and said, "If I continue to keep you in the house, the nanny will die with regret. You and I both know in our hearts that we are not husband and wife, and I don't have you at all in my heart."

"My lord, were you not drunk that night?" After Liu Xiangyun finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Li Yuanji in horror.

Li Yuanji sneered: "The reason why I put you in the backyard is that firstly, I thought you were doing these things on behalf of the nanny, and secondly, to me, it doesn't make any difference whether there are more women in the house or fewer women. But after I put you in the backyard, the nanny came to me in person. She didn't want you to come into the house. Everything was your own initiative. She had advised you many times not to pester me anymore, but you ignored it. Drunk me, saying that it was the fact that I was married, so she had to agree. The nanny was kind-hearted, raised me up, and never thought of anything in return. She knew that it would be difficult to change my temperament. I can't control me, I'm afraid that after she dies, you will suffer in the mansion, she asked me for a merciless request - I hope I can find a chance to find you a safe man, a down-to-earth man who can live a life , and marry you off in a good manner, if not, I will arrange you well and stay away from disputes, and she will have no wish."

Liu Xiangyun fell to the ground, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "Impossible...impossible."

"Mother, you are my own mother! How could you harm me like this? I am the hostess of Prince Qi's mansion, and I am Princess Qi! I won't go, I won't go anywhere!" Liu Xiangyun cried and laughed at the sky road.

Li Yuanji snorted lightly: "Procrastinate on, take good care of Miss Liu."

The soldiers looked at each other and replied, "Yes."

It took several days for the Tang army to return to Bingzhou City, clean up the battlefield, and resettle the prisoners.

The Bingzhou city was properly arranged here, so Li Yuanji thought about going to Beijing to plead guilty to Li Yuan first. At this moment, he was arranged in Xia County, and Li An, who had stabilized the situation with Yan Lang and Luo Yong, also came back. Li Shimin had basically controlled the situation in Luoyang.

Seeing Li Yuanji's calm expression, Li An felt a little embarrassed, so he might as well get angry at him and beat him up to discourage him.He only found out after he came back that the Chen family was dead, Madam Liu was sent back to the south of the Yangtze River by the lord, General Luo found Yuwen Chengdu, and now the two are tired of being together all day long... Can the lord bear this series of blows?Now that he is so peaceful, he is worried, and he can't help complaining to Luo Cheng in a low voice: "The prince also moved his troops away from Bingzhou City to save talents, and now he is going to the capital to plead guilty in front of the emperor, but that person is good, he doesn't react at all. No."

Li Yuanji lowered his head and glanced at Li An who was changing his clothes, and said calmly: "He didn't ask me to save him, it was my wishful thinking. Besides, I will take responsibility for what I did myself. I dispatched troops to leave Bingzhou without authorization. I was also the one who put Chang'an in crisis, so what the father wants to do is up to him."

"My lord, even if you want to plead guilty, don't go at this time! The emperor must have not calmed down yet. At least let the matter calm down before going. Besides, hasn't Wang Shichong already surrendered the city? His Royal Highness Qin Wang In a few days, the troops will return to the imperial court, the siege of Chang'an City will be lifted, our army will wipe out Liu Wuzhou's army, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin will return to the imperial court triumphantly...Three joys come to the door, the emperor will definitely be very happy, so why would he be willing to punish you."

Li Yuanji glared, and Li An's heart trembled in fright: "You can go whenever you want, can you control it? Go prepare the horse immediately, and I will go to Chang'an City to plead guilty to the emperor." .”

"My lord... my lord, wait..." Li An looked at the back of Li Yuanji leaving, and stomped heavily, "It's nothing, you are looking for abuse by yourself! You and General Luo are fighting and venting your anger on yourself what?"

He didn't dare to stop Li Yuanji's guitar, but someone dared, Li An rolled his eyes, walked out of the room, and walked towards Li Yuanji's opposite direction - Luo Cheng's room.
