According to Qi Jiguang's instructions, the school lieutenant followed suit and beheaded all the soldiers of the Tang army.
For a time, corpses were scattered all over the woods outside the city, piled up like a mountain.
To get rid of these annoying guys, Qi Jiguang ordered people to escort Li Yuan's empress, more than a dozen concubines, more than a thousand court ladies, and some young sons and daughters into the car.In addition, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin's family members, including Li Shimin's one-year-old eldest son Li Chengqian, were all put on the carriage, and the brigade galloped towards the sea.
As for the food that could not be taken away, all the food was opened and left to the people.
With this move, Jiankang people's hearts are all won.
On the return journey of the army, Gan Ning personally led [-] elite soldiers to intercept the Tang army's pursuit.
The Qi army traveled hundreds of miles from Lou County to Jiankang, and now they are returning day and night, which can be described as extremely difficult.But because of this big victory, everyone will have a lot of rewards when they go back, and maybe even a daughter-in-law.
The morale of the whole army was high, and there were laughter and laughter along the way.
When Li Shimin chased him to the beach, he could only watch helplessly as the navy of the Qi army escorted all his family members away.
The capital of the country was looted, and all the emperor's courtiers and concubines were looted and left. Everyone was exhausted, but there was only despair in their hearts.
Chapter 909
In Yuzhang City, after dinner, Li Jiancheng planned to go to bed directly.Li Mi is also considered sensible, and specially presented two beauties to him. Li Jiancheng, who was already lonely, was burning with desire, wishing to go to bed early.
At this moment, the soldiers suddenly came to report, and a scout sent an urgent report from Jiankang eight hundred miles away.
"Meet Your Royal Highness!"
The scout's face was covered with frost and dust, and his legs were trembling non-stop. It was obvious that he had changed horses along the way and rushed here, and his physical strength had reached its limit.
Li Yuanji asked angrily: "You came here in such a hurry, could it be that Jiankang has changed? Father wants me to go back?"
"His Royal Highness, something big, something bad..." The scout knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, "Three days ago, the Qi army suddenly attacked Jiankang, broke through the city in one fell swoop, and will... your majesty, concubine, and princess, And the little prince is all taken prisoner!"
"what?"
This bad news exploded in Li Jiancheng's heart like a bolt from the blue.
The emperor's father was taken into captivity, the capital of the country fell, and even his wife and son were taken away by the Qi army.
Li Jiancheng's face was full of panic and sadness.
"How is it possible? Jiankang is the capital of my great Qi country. How could it be so easy to lose. Qi army, did the Qi army fly over? How did they arrive at Jiankang? What is going on?"
Li Jiancheng's face was full of panic and sadness at the moment.
"Qi Army, whether the Qi Army came from here or not, directly occupied Lou County, all the way to the east, and the soldiers in Jiankang City were basically transferred to Yuzhang by His Majesty, which gave the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. "
"Could it be that the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are trash?" Li Jiancheng scolded bitterly with his hands behind his back.
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Qin heard the news and immediately led troops to rescue them. Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. The Qi army had already boarded the boat and disappeared into the sea."
The candlelight shone on Li Jiancheng's face, a little gloomy.
"Come here, I will reward you heavily..." Li Jiancheng waved his hand.
The scouts galloped hundreds of miles away, approaching Li Jiancheng flattered: "What's your Highness..."
Suddenly a cold light flashed, Li Jiancheng had a dagger in his hand at some point, and cut the scout's throat in an instant.Immediately, the blood flowed profusely, and the scout clutched his neck in pain and struggled a few times before falling to the ground.
Li Jiancheng just quietly watched the scout die in front of him, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Li Yuan was captured, and the throne of the Tang Dynasty was suspended. As the prince, he, Li Jiancheng, was naturally the best candidate to inherit the throne.
It's just that he is not the only one who is suitable for the throne of Datang.
Not to mention others, what would Li Shimin, the King of Qin who holds a heavy army and stationed in Jingkou, think?
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng didn't care what time it was, and immediately sent someone to invite Li Mi and Li Xiaogong over.
Inside the library.
"How is it possible, Jiankang has been captured, how is this possible!" After hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Li Xiaogong's expression was full of shock and he couldn't believe it.
"That's right, how could Jiankang not be breached? Our army clearly held Yuzhang so that the Qi army could not move. How could the Qi army attack Jiankang? How could Jiankang be breached?" Li Mi stood beside him abruptly. Get up and lose your voice.
"Do you still remember Qi Jiguang?" Li Jiancheng tapped on the table.
"Qi Jiguang, is it Qi Jiguang, the deputy governor of the Qi army's navy?" Li Xiaogong, who was familiar with the Qi army, asked rhetorically at this time.
"It's this Qi Jiguang."
"But even if it's Qi Jiguang, we have nearly 30 troops guarding Yuzhang, even if they have wings, they can't fly over!"
Li Jiancheng sighed: "Do you know that there is an island on the opposite side of the sea?"
"His Royal Highness is talking about the legendary Yizhou?"
Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "This Yizhou fell into the hands of Cao Anmin a few years ago. Qi State continued to develop on this island, and all their navy remained there. Just as our army all When they gathered in Yuzhang, they stabbed decisively in the back and broke through the capital directly. Sad, sad!"
Li Mi suddenly thought of something in his mind, glanced at Li Xiaogong next to him, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said: "Now that your majesty is covered in dust and captured alive by the Qi army, my Tang Dynasty will not be without a king for a day, and I dare you to ask your highness to come early." Ascend to the throne and calm people's minds."
Only then did Li Xiaogong react.
Now that Li Yuan was kidnapped by the Qi army, if the news got out, it would definitely cause an uproar in Jiangdong.
If Li Jiancheng announced his ascension to the throne at this time, it would surely stabilize the hearts of the people and make the hearts of Tang troops from all over the country unite.
"Impossible, my father is deeply trapped in the enemy's country, the most urgent thing is to rescue my father." Li Jiancheng hastily declined.
Li Mi went on to say: "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. As the crown prince, it is reasonable for His Highness to inherit the throne. Now that His Majesty has been captured, if the Qi State takes His Majesty as a hostage and threatens us to surrender, the consequences will be disastrous. I affirm that Your Highness, enter the throne early to reassure people's hearts."
Li Jiancheng looked impatient on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.
"Cousin Xiaogong, do you think so too?"
Li Xiaogong can be said to be riding a tiger.
Right now, everyone knows that the most suitable successor to the throne is Qin Wang Li Shimin.
But from the perspective of the patriarchal system, Li Jiancheng is both the eldest son and the prince.Li Yuan did not issue an edict to abolish the crown prince. If the King of Qin were to inherit the throne, it would be a usurpation of the throne.
Looking at Li Jiancheng in front of him, Li Xiaogong sighed in his heart and knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general will see Your Majesty!"
Li Jiancheng saw that the two of them all obeyed him as emperor, and the stone in his heart was finally let go.
"Please get up quickly, both of you, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
