Shiqing does not regret

In August, the two armies of Li Maozhen and Li Chong will meet in Bianzhou. Bianzhou is located to the east of the Eastern Capital. According to the marching speed, they will surely reach the Eastern Capital Luoyang within three days.

At this time, the army of defeating Zhu has been planning for three months, and has been hiding in the border of Shandong and standing still, in order to wait for the empty city of Luoyang to gain the chance of winning.Zhu Wen fought south and north for months, with great ambitions, expanding the boundaries around Henan wider and wider, which also aroused dissatisfaction among the surrounding princes.

Prior to this, frequent riots occurred on the border of Henan and Shanxi, and the war between Zhu Wen and Li Keyong was provoked for a while. The war was imminent. Zhu Wen led an army of 20 all the way west in early August, intending to conquer Li Keyong.

Li Chong and Li Maozhen were overjoyed when they heard the news. They had planned to use Li Keyong as a bait to provoke a war with Zhu Wen. They took advantage of Zhu Wen's expedition to the west and had no time to take care of Luoyang's situation to send troops to welcome the saint.Now, with Zhu Wen's troops out and the east wind coming, it's a good time to force the city.

On August 20th, 20 troops lined up under the city of Luoyang in a mighty manner, defying the scorching heat and the scorching sun.Prior to this, the Eastern Capital had been completely conquered in the eastern area, and the [-] Zhu army was as powerful as a bamboo, and within two days it was approaching the city of Luoyang.

Where did the garrison gate see this battle, the sudden black and silver soldiers and iron armor rushed out of Bianzhou, and washed dozens of cities in Henan along the way, and they were all stunned.

Master Zhu is not here?What can I do?

"Don't you hurry up and find the third son?" The Luoyang guard hurriedly shouted, the person who is oppressing the city must be a bad person, and at this time, Luoyang city has been negligent in guarding against it, I am afraid...

In a short time, Zhu Youwen reined in his horse and hurried upstairs, leaned down to look at the hundreds of thousands of troops lined up outside the city tower, and couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat. He turned his head down and yelled: "Who is coming, trespassing on my Tang Dongdu , is there any royal law?"

Li Maozhen looked up at Zhu Youwen who yelled sternly on the high wall, the boy dared to be so arrogant when he was not at home, he couldn't help feeling angry, and wanted to fight back, but Li Chong raised his hand calmly to stop him.

What's the use of talking to him?We are welcoming the Holy One back.The meaning in the eyes was conveyed to Li Maozhen, so he sent the young generals around him to be intercommunication messengers into the city to convey the meaning.His spies have fully grasped the whereabouts of Zhu Wen's army, and believe that Zhu Wen is on his way to Puzhou at this time, and now is a good opportunity to sneak in.

After a while, the envoy entered Luoyang City and presented a document to the hostile Zhu Youwen.Zhu Youwen raised his eyes, took it angrily, read half of the content, and felt a chill in his heart.

It's over, it turned out that it was none other than Li Chong and Li Maozhen who came here, the letter stated very clearly that the purpose of coming this time was to welcome the Holy One back to the capital, not to start a war with Master Zhu.

Welcome back to the Holy Majesty?Zhu Youwen probed his head and looked at the thousands of gold and iron armors under the city, his face was not very good-looking, most of the arrogance and arrogance disappeared for a while, and the remaining surly expression was just a forced face.Now that my father is no longer in Luoyang, the strongest troops have been dispatched to conquer the west, how can they resist so many soldiers?He didn't want to fight, and he brought so many soldiers and horses. It sounds nice to say that Zhu Youwen is not a fool. How could he not understand the soft and hard ways in this letter?

"Bastard, if you still don't open the city gate to welcome us, don't blame the general for being ruthless. Is this how you treat guests in Luoyang?" Out of his quick temper, he spit loudly.The scorching sun was too hot, and his body was already sweating, so he became a little irritable.

This loud shout scared Zhu Youwen's soul out of his five orifices, his legs were a little unsteady, and his face was quite ugly.Doesn't he know what's going on in the city?If he defended the city with all his might, he might be hitting a stone with an egg. Looking at the situation below the city, he had to break through Luoyang. Not only would he not be able to defend the city of Luoyang, but he would also be unable to save his own life.

"Third son, what should I do?" The guard of Luoyang next to him looked embarrassed, and tentatively asked Zhu Youwen, who looked terrified in front of him. When Master Zhu left, he handed over Luoyang's affairs to Zhu Sangong. deal with it, so he needs to ask him for instructions on everything.

Glancing at the orderly armored army under the city, he panicked, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you open the city gate?" The soldiers are approaching the city, if he doesn't do what Li Chong said , I am afraid that he, the "rebel", will die first when he breaks into the city.Although father's "world" is important, doing so will make all their plans go to waste, but in such a critical moment, the most important thing is to save one's own life.

"But..." The guard didn't expect Zhu Youwen to order the gate to be opened so easily, and hesitated for a while.

"What are you still doing in a daze, go!" Zhu Youwen hurriedly recovered his perverse expression, and scolded, then turned to face Li Chong and Li Maozhen who were in the city below, and suddenly changed his smile, saying flatteringly, "You two princes, don't worry, I'm sorry. Just open the city gate."

There are scattered soldiers and horses inside the city, but there are plenty of troops outside the city, and the forces of the enemy and ourselves are in stark contrast.

However, at the moment when the city gate was slowly opening, the sound of horns from the western city gate resounded through the sky, and within a short time, the sound of iron cavalry trampling past, as if tens of thousands of horses were galloping, towards the east city gate. roaring...

When the cavalry got closer and closer, all the people in the city were proud to see the big banner embroidered with the word "Zhu" clearly, and they were overjoyed, it turned out that the lord has returned.

"Your Excellency is back." The soldiers in the city looked at each other happily, they didn't expect Master Zhu to come back at such a critical moment.

Zhu Youwen, who wanted to welcome Li Chong's army into the city, saw that it was indeed his father's soldiers and horses returning, so he hurriedly sent someone to pull up the suspension bridge and close the door again.

When Zhu Wen arrived with thousands of cavalry, in an instant, two silver and black armored teams stood facing each other outside the city, fighting each other without giving in.

"Why did the two princes bring so many soldiers to my territory in Dongdu?" Zhu Wen sat on the horse with the reins hanging, glaring at Li Chong and Li Maozhen, who were only a dozen meters away from him, because the two faces were angry. With his beard curled up, he looked quite arrogant.He wanted to lead his troops to fight Li Maozhen in Puzhou, and was ashamed of being swept up and bullied by the Jin people on the frontier, but on the way, someone tipped off a letter saying that Luoyang, the eastern capital, was in danger, which put him in a dilemma for a while. It was definitely not a lie, it was held by his cronies, so he decided to send troops back to Luoyang. When he arrived in Luoyang, he saw the scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with anger, but he seemed to understand something.

No wonder, he felt something was wrong, now that he saw Li Chong and Li Maozhen approaching Luoyang City, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden, it turned out that they were playing a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

This Li Keyong must be with them!

Where did Li Chong and Li Maozhen think that Zhu Wen would suddenly lead his troops back, according to their spies' report of Zhu Wen's whereabouts, Zhu Wen should have just passed through Henan Mansion at this time?For a while, they looked at each other, their faces not very good-looking.But Li Chong was still Li Chong after all, the surprise on his face was fleeting, and at this juncture, it was too late for him to think about anything else. , facing the angry Zhu Wen with a smile on his face, he said slowly: "Lord Zhu, we are here to welcome the Holy Lord to the capital. What about it? Master Zhu, please make it easier for me." At this point, even if he wants to fight, he can't back down, because this is the last chance to get close to the Holy One, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, Li Chong thought viciously in his heart , Of course, the first move is to force.

Of course Zhu Wen knew what Li Chong had in mind, thinking that Li Chong was the one who strongly opposed the change of capital at the time, and now it seems that his desire to welcome back the Holy One has not disappeared.Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "Then what if the officer disagrees?" After finishing speaking, he raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly, "The two princes actually disrespected the law of etiquette and disrespected the military law in the place under my jurisdiction. Dare to disobey the proposal of changing the capital, and the two princes have violated the holy will, so it is a capital offense?"

"You..." Li Maozhen was furious when he heard the words. This Zhu Wen was so angry that he dared to confuse black and white again, talk nonsense, and confuse the army. Don't get rid of you, a bastard, to shake the power of my Great Tang."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and yelled at the cavalry below him, raised his sword and gave the order "Chong", and roared: "You and I will deal with this chaotic minister and traitor with this king, so as to ensure the safety of the Tang Dynasty!" Luoyang.

For a time, the two armies met with each other in battle, with swords shining and sword shadows, setting off a bloody storm...
