Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 64 Rebel Together
At this time, the sun in the sky has traveled a quarter of the way around the sky. In more than an hour, it will be the hottest time, and at that time, the people who support Hangu Pass will arrive.

And the next battle will be even more tragic. Ma Chao is prepared for this, but he doesn't know how many people will die here if the enemy wants to capture here.

The door of Han Valley closed slowly.

However, the city did not stop. The city gates were lost too quickly. Although it was a military pass, there were not many people living here, and the number of soldiers hiding in the people's homes was certainly not a small number.

Therefore, the cleaning of the city is also non-stop.

When Ma Chao rode back to the west gate, the 300 people left behind were already carefully mastering the tools for defending the city. The more skilled they are, the more likely they are to survive.

"General, thanks to our quick hands this time, the crossbows and various equipment in this city were not damaged at all.

Moreover, these people who are afraid of death didn't even destroy the city gate, and completely handed over such a pass into our hands. We really have to thank them very much. "

"Xiao Wu, why are you like His Highness, always saying weird things? We fought hard to defeat this pass.
Those people didn't give it to us willingly. If you say so, can it erase our achievements?

"General Ma Chao, don't say that. Your Highness needs to know about this. My Xiao Wu will be scolded. I just want to learn from Your Highness. There are so many guards in this city, but they are under our attack. , collapsed in an instant."

Xiao Wu waved his hands again and again, and the words in his mouth softened a little.

"Okay, don't waste time, let the brothers have a good grasp of all kinds of equipment is the truth, and at the same time, go to mobilize the civilians and let them move all the defense equipment in the city to Ximen. Otherwise, after a while, the enemy will attack, but we are not ready, then it will be really bad luck."

"If the pass is not well guarded, then we, when the city is broken, may all have to be buried with the pass, and His Highness's plan will be out of the question." Ma Chao looked serious. .

And the civilian husbands who were assembled were also announced by the people in the army in front of them at this time.

"We are troops under the command of Li Chengdao, Prince of Anlu County in the Tang Dynasty. The reason why we captured this pass is to eliminate His Majesty the Emperor's rebellious Li Shimin. He led his troops to kill the previous crown prince and forced His Majesty the Emperor to give him the crown prince position. This is against justice,
Therefore, as the son of Prince Li Jiancheng, we, Prince Anlu, naturally want to seek justice for our father, and at the same time, we must support the Tang Dynasty. "

"Everyone, earnestly work according to the order, and when the work is finished, wages will naturally be paid, each person is [-] Wen copper coins per day or equivalent in grain.

As long as you work hard and don't cause trouble, then nothing will happen, but if someone dares to disturb the order, then our knives are also very sharp.Mark my words, no one is allowed to make trouble. "

So, while everyone was busy at Hangu Pass, the entire pass slowly turned their attention here.

The first ones to come were the more than 3000 cavalry from Hangu Pass who were lured out, and the Tongguan troops who originally wanted to chase Li Chengdao also received orders to support Hangu Pass.

But on the way, they already knew the news of the fall of Hangu Pass.

Even though they didn't believe it at all, when they arrived at the city, the crossbow arrows fired at them proved this to them.

The news of the fall of Hangu Pass was passed on.

At this time, outside Hangu Pass, there were already [-] cavalry and [-] infantry for a total of [-] troops, but because there was no order, they surrounded Ximen tightly.

Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an, was a little annoyed.

Because he received the military report from the land of Longxi, he, a crown prince, was actually removed from the family tree.

When I first heard the news, I felt a little ridiculous for a moment.

Is it really so important for the Li clan to remove themselves?
Nephew Chengdao, you are thinking wrong. The Li family relies on the royal family, not the royal family depends on the clan. Otherwise, why is it stipulated that every emperor is the head of the Li family?

But, is your purpose for doing this really that simple?If you don't run far away quickly and contact some people who are rebellious, why are you still staying in this place in the middle of the pass?
Could it be that you are planning to attack me in the name of righteousness? However, people with strength will naturally spend a lot of money on the so-called righteousness in the world and only obey those who meet their own requirements. Those who do not meet their own interests will naturally Thinking a little and changing the statement is the way to solve the problem.

However, Li Chengdao's news is not limited to this one.

"Report to His Royal Highness, there is a military report from the Tongguan area. It is said that Li Chengdao, the rebel, tried to pass through Tongguan in vain, but was discovered by the soldiers. The Tongguan guard has already sent soldiers to arrest them."

"Huh? Why, does my nephew have the ability to separate himself, one in Longxi and one in Tongguan?"

"Tongguan? No, according to his behavior, it is definitely an easy task to sneak through Tongguan. How could he be easily discovered by soldiers? Do you have any detailed information?
"Your Highness, not yet. I just said that Li Chengdao was found. The Tongguan guard is working together with the surrounding officers and soldiers to catch him."

"No, no, his appearance in Longxi was confirmed by many people, but his presence in Tongguan was only discovered by the soldiers. He must not be in Tongguan, so he wanted to attract the attention of Tongguan and its surrounding passes, and then achieve his goals The goal."

"What does he want to do? If I were him, I would show up at Tongguan and call out soldiers from the pass. Could it be that he wants to attack Tongguan?

No, it's impossible. He doesn't have that many soldiers in his hands. If he wants to capture Tongguan, he will need at least tens of thousands of troops. No matter how brave his subordinates are, they will still need at least 5000 people.

Could it be that the defender of Tongguan rebelled with him? "

Li Shimin's heart was a little confused for a while, thinking wildly.

"Go, send me an order to ask everyone to carefully investigate the movement of Tongguan and its surrounding passes to see if there is any unusual behavior."

"Also, let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui enter the palace, and discuss something with them alone."

Could it be that you can really get the Tongguan guard to rebel with you?

Li Shimin felt that there was a fog in front of him for a moment, and he had already stabilized the position of the prince.

However, if Tongguan is lost, then the troops supporting him from inside the pass will be blocked from the outside and can only take a detour into the pass. By that time, I am afraid that both myself and Li Chengdao will have no chance of victory or defeat.

Now, whether this Tongguan is still in his hands is the key to the problem.
