Chapter 132 Purpose (Continued)

In Yenan City, there was a fire in the Taimiao area. Li Li, who came to set fire, was very satisfied to see that the Taimiao Hall had been lit.

The officials on duty in Taimiao, as well as the tablets of the "Last Emperor" and the tablets of the heroes who were granted the Taimiao, have been "packed" by his subordinates and will be sent to Jiankang next, which is enough to prove that he entered Yecheng, Qidu and burned the Taimiao.

Not only that, many demolitions and words "Qiu" were written on the outer wall of the Taimiao, indicating the reason why Li Li burned the Taimiao: Li Sanlang came to Yecheng to avenge the late emperor.

Looking at the burning Taimiao and the words "Li Li is here to visit" carved by himself on the stone carvings in front of the hall, Li Li could already imagine the expression of Emperor Gao Yang of Qi.

The Taimiao is an emperor's ancestral temple, which contains the "Last Emperor" tablet, which is equivalent to the ancestral hall and ancestral tablet of a clan.

The clan ancestral hall and the ancestral tablets were smashed, which was an insult to the entire clan. This hatred was second only to digging ancestral tombs. It was different from the fact that it was to use life to liquidate, let alone a country.

Therefore, this revenge will never stop. Even if Emperor Gao Yang of Qi was so angry that he exploded his blood vessels, he would send a large army to attack Xuzhou.

Not necessarily, if the Qi army came, they would probably bypass Xuzhou and head straight to Huainan. They would not leave without turning the two Huaihe Rivers into scorched earth.

There is no doubt that Li Li's move would lead to an unprecedented crisis in both Huaihe Rivers, but under the pretext of "aggression for the late emperor", no one inside and outside the court and the country could blame him.

Not to mention, Xiao Fan, the king of Poyang, who was assisting the government, would support him because this is the part of the ‘trading’.

The subordinates rushed over and reported to Li Li: "Encourt, the manifesto has been banned."

"Not only do you have to hang it here, but you also have to distribute the leaflets."

The subordinate smiled: "The flyers I brought have been distributed after entering the city."

Li Li nodded: "Well, hurry up and withdraw!"

The soldiers returned along the way and soon returned to the intersection guarded by Peng Jun.

Li Li looked at the messy street, the shouts sounded around him, the endless sounds of trumpets, and the majestic palace city in the distance to the west, and felt a little regretful.

It is no longer easy to break into Yecheng. With this little force, it is a delusion to break through the palace city.

And you can't stay for a long time, so you have to run away after entering the city and slap in the face.

Therefore, the primary purpose of his raid was to enter Yecheng to burn the Taimiao, which was nominally avenged the late emperor, but in fact it was a slap in the face in public, stimulating Emperor Qi Gao Yang to the greatest extent and provoking a large-scale war.

This goal is very critical and must be achieved.

Purpose 2: rob the military horses raised in the horse farms around Yecheng, as well as a large number of horses in the east city of the city.

Purpose 3: Save Zhenyang Hou Xiao Yuanming.

Purpose 4: ‘Get the prize’ and see if you can catch (kill) high-ranking officials and nobles in Qi State.

The first two items have been reached. Last night, after shelling the Qi military camp outside the East Gate and launching a night attack, the main general who led his troops to resist, Gao Huan, the King of Shangdang, was the seventh brother of Emperor Gao Yang of Qi, and he also received the prize.

"Has the person been rescued?" Li Li asked, and Peng Jun replied: "He has been rescued. He has just passed the intersection and I think he has left the city."

"Okay, prepare to withdraw!" Li Li ordered, and Peng Jun nodded: "I'll cut off the back, you go first!"

"You should be careful and see you at the city gate!"

After saying that, Li Li rode his horse and marched eastward, walked a distance, and stopped at an alley guarded by the soldiers.

Not far from the entrance of the alley, there is a shop with a pancake and a donkey on the guise.

A few soldiers carried a basket of pancakes from the shop. Li Li was quite satisfied when he saw it.

He heard Xue Yuechang mention that the "Liu Shilang donkey meat cook cake" at the entrance of "Xi Liu Lane" in the east city of Yecheng was delicious, so since "all of them are here", I bought some back and let the soldiers taste the "Famous Snacks in Yecheng".

If you buy it, you have to pay.

"Have you paid?" Li Li asked, and the soldiers were embarrassed when they heard this and hesitated: "June, we don't have money on us..."

"Is that right?" Li Li took out a small piece of silver from the interlayer of the belt and threw it to a soldier: "It's okay to have one or two taels of money, it's okay to have Qianwen."

He carried the broken silver with him, just in case, the soldiers took the broken silver and transferred it to the store.

Li Li believed that his soldiers would not embezzle the silver. He was about to march forward, but he noticed an emergency:

There was a dead man at the entrance of the alley. A man fell down to the ground with his head facing outwards. A soldier who was standing guard at the entrance of the alley just walked around and stepped on the back of the dead man's hand, so the dead man's body shook.

Li Li looked at the man who pretended to be dead carefully and saw that his clothes were obviously better than ordinary people, and there were no obvious wounds on his body (back) and no blood.

Looking at the alley again, it was not a ‘dead end road’, so I felt suspicious:

Where are you pretending to be dead? You pretend to be dead at the entrance of the alley. What are you trying to do? Can you die inside?

Then he turned around and looked at the street intersection. Looking at the light cannon that was retreating, Li Li instantly understood: Damn, you are observing the cannon!

He immediately ordered: "This guy is pretending to be dead, pick it up!"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and then they found that Junhou was talking about the 'dead' behind him. They bent down and pulled it, and they were indeed "living".

Seeing that this man was being pulled up, Li Li decided not to talk nonsense and kill him. Let’s talk about the details of the artillery, as long as possible.

Anyway, I killed countless people all the way, so it doesn’t matter if I kill one more ‘witness’.

As soon as he gave the order, the man shouted to himself.

The call was actually in Yayan (Luoyang dialect): "Is the general a subordinate of the envoy Li of Xuzhou?"

Jiankang’s official language originated from Luoyang’s Yayan, so Li Li, who was able to speak Jiankang’s official language, was surprised: those who could speak elegant language these days must be the children of officials or gentry.

Then he asked in Yayan: "Who are you?"

Zu Yi heard that the general Liang really understood elegant language and could speak, and his heart thumped: The vulgar warriors would not speak elegant language.

The strange weapons used by the Liang army just now were amazingly powerful. Recalling the thunder rumbling last night, Zu Yi realized that the "Xuzhou Li Thief"'s great military achievements were probably not simple.

Now I am pretending to be dead and being seen through, and pretending to be miserable may be able to pass the test, but if...

Or, another option would be good, because a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity might be right in front of you.

"In the lower house of Fan Yang Zuqian, he wrote an edict in the Secretariat of the Secretariat." Zuqian said loudly, indicating his identity, "I want to meet the famous Xuzhou Li Envoy."

"What do you want to do when you see him?" Li Li felt funny, and thought that the "written edict" revealed his identity was quite interesting, "Is it necessary to persuade him to surrender?"

Zu Qi decided to take a big gamble and nodded: "That's right!"

......

In the afternoon, in Taimiao, Gao Yang looked at the hall that had turned into ruins, silently stood there, his face calmly.

On the stone carving next to it, the engravings of "Li Li from Poyang is here to visit" are very dazzling.

Although Gao Yang's face was calm, as if the ruins of the Taimiao Hall and the words on the stone carvings did not exist, he felt a chill on his back, fearing that the emperor would be furious for a while and that his life would be lost.

The Li bandits attacked Yecheng, set fire to the Taimiao, and captured several officials on duty.

According to the survivors, Li Zhe came to Taimiao, revealed his identity to them, and carved these words on the stone carvings.

The tablets of Emperor Shenwu, Emperor Wenxiang, and the tablets of all the meritorious officials who were granted the Taimiao were all taken away by Li Zhe.

Although the tablet itself is nothing, the meaning of the tablet is different.

Not only that, after Li thieves entered the city, they distributed leaflets along the streets. The contents were extremely ridiculous. It was said that Emperor Liang was killed because the State of Qi sent an assassin to the State of Qi, so this time he entered Ye to avenge Emperor Liang.

Emperor Xiao Gang of Liang was assassinated on the Double Ninth Festival last year. Subsequently, the Crown Prince Xiao Daqi was attacked and was seriously injured and died soon after. The young crown prince ascended the throne and became emperor. The news spread to Yecheng at the beginning of this year.

The incident happened in Jiankang, but Li Zhe came to Yecheng to "take revenge" and was just an excuse.

On the other side, several officials were reporting the losses to Gao Yang in fear.

The night before yesterday, the Liang army attacked Yingzha outside the East Gate at night and led the army to station the Shangdang king Gao Huan outside the East Gate to be killed. His subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Because the city gate was not open, the defeated soldiers had nowhere to escape, and they should have suffered all casualties.

The Liang army captured Zhongyang Gate at the East Gate early the morning of the next day (yesterday), went up to the Chun Gate, and entered the city.

He repelled the intercepted troops who rushed over after hearing the news, robbed a large number of horses in the East City, burned Taimiao, abducted the officials of Taimiao, and evacuated the tablets of the late emperor, and evacuated the city.

In the evening, he defeated the pursuers.

This morning, the official cavalry explored the Liang army and had crossed the river and walked south, and it was a good time to escape. There was no more Liang army soldiers or soldiers on the north bank.

Many horse prisons outside the city were attacked, and most of the military horses they were raised were looted.

Since the Liang army arrived outside the outskirts of Yecheng, the official army suffered casualties, about 5,000 people, and the total number of horses, officials and civilians was more than 4,000.

The losses in Yecheng were mainly burnt Taimiao and partially damaged Dongshi.

Just now, the officials had to report that the Liang royal family of the Liang State who "living in Yecheng" was taken away by the Liang army.

How many Yecheng officials and the casualties of the people in this disaster still need time to count.

"So, when Li thief attacked, one of the purposes was to burn the Taimiao, the second was to steal the horse, and the third was to save Xiao Yuanming?"

Gao Yang suddenly spoke, his tone calm, and the officials replied tremblingly: "As Your Majesty said, it seems that this is exactly what it is..."

"So, the city defense is as good as paper!" Gao Yang asked, and the officials dared not answer.

Gao Yang looked at the ruins of the hall again and the carvings on the stone carvings, and understood that Li Li's move was to humiliate him and provoke him.

The capital of the country was easily broken, the Taimiao was burned, and the emperor's face and the court's face were gone.

Even though the Liang army only stayed for a while invaded the palace, did not burn, kill, loot, or set fire to the city, the fact that "Liang army entered the city" was enough to shock the world.

How do the people in the world think of him as the emperor?

How do you think of him as an emperor, both inside and outside the court and the country?

How do you think of the martial honors of the Jinyang Ba Mansion, the emperor?

Gao Yang was angry: So your purpose of raiding Yecheng was to humiliate me!?

Force me to attack Xuzhou, can you wait for the rabbit?

Imagine! I will use my country's army to attack Huainan directly, burn the two Huainans into white land, and guard the lonely Hanshan to make a doghouse by yourself!!
