Chapter 535: The world's heroic pass will start over

With this order, Li Chengqian's carriage slowly retreated into the military formation behind. At the same time, the commander beside Xue Rengui jumped on the horse's back and raised various flags to the army facing tens of thousands of troops. The sound of drums that had stopped slowly rang out again. The teams arranged yesterday saw the flags gathering under the city in an orderly manner with teams.

Changsun Chong and others on the top of the city did not hear the order given by Li Chengqian. When they saw Li Chengqian's carriage retreating, they thought that their treacherous plan had succeeded, Li Chengqian really dared not attack the city. They couldn't help but feel happy and looked down on Li Chengqian.

Niu Yanfu Niu Shunde was disappointed first, but then he was a little happy.

Niu Yanfu thought to himself: The prince dared not disobey His Majesty's order. Fortunately, he did not kill Changsun Chong just now. Otherwise, even if he welcomed the prince into the pass, he would probably have to avenge Changsun Chong in order to give His Majesty an explanation.

When my head...

Their thoughts were only in a flash, but the next moment they saw the flags raised by the flag soldiers under the city. Xue Rengui was stunned and said in surprise: Your Highness the Crown Prince really dared to attack the city!

This is the Hundred and Two Qin Pass, how can it be easily conquered?

When Changsun Chong saw that he immediately arranged his family beside him to defend the city. After Niu Yanfu's expression changed several times, he pulled out the long knife from his waist with a "sniff" sound and was about to step forward to chop Changsun Chong's generals.

"Boss Niu, wait a little longer." Zhu Shunde stopped Niu Yanfu again.

Niu Yanfu glared at Niu's eyes and said, "What are you waiting for? Should we sit down and see if His Highness the Crown Prince loses his troops?"

Zhu Shunde hurriedly said, "Boss Niu, listen to me. His Royal Highness can be surrounded by many. Now he set up a military formation to attack Hangu Pass. These are the contributions that the generals want to set up a city to break through the pass."

"A bastard, I ignore my subordinates' lives for the sake of making meritorious service?" Niu Yanfu couldn't help but curse when he heard this.

Zhu Shunde lowered his voice again and said, "Boss Niu, we are now committed to the Prince's Prince. If we steal the merits of these generals under the city, they will definitely hate us. Moreover, the Prince's Prince has not issued an order to us when he arrives at the city. We may not be able to get benefits if we kill Changsun and surrender to him."

Niu Yanfu thought it was indeed reasonable, so he asked, "What do you think you should do?"

Zhu Shunde glanced at Changsun Chong and others and said, "Why not do this? Let's watch from the side first. How can Changsun Chong be able to defend two or three rounds? At that time, the city will lose troops and defeat us and take Changsun Chong in one fell swoop. Wouldn't we show that we have the ability?" Zhu Shunde said confidently.

After hearing this, Niu Yanfu thought that this was indeed the case, so he nodded and said, "Let's take a look first."

It’s not that Niu Yanfu has no opinion. He sent a letter to Li Chengqian, but did not receive any reply from Li Chengqian. He never dared to kill the person sent by Li Shimin easily.

But he didn't know that Li Chengqian was waiting for them to show up at this time. Although Li Chengqian's car was backing, he kept looking up the city, wondering whether Niu Yanfu dared to kill Changsun Chong directly under such pressure.

Since Niu Yanfu and Zhu Shunde have to defect to him, they must dare to do something, otherwise how can they use it with confidence?

However, until the car drove to a place seventy steps away from Hangu Pass, Li Chengqian saw that there was still no movement at the head of Hangu Pass, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Although he did not know Niu Yanfu and Zhu Shunde, since these two people were born in the Royal Military and Political Academy, even if they had received favor from him, Li Chengqian, they were indeed interested in him, but at this time, even a Changsun Chong dared to move. There was only one explanation for them that they were afraid of Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian felt deeply uneasy about this. If the soldiers of Chang'an City were still the only ones who were Li Shimin, then he would have a bloody battle when he returned to Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian was always very conflicted about Niu Yanfu taking the initiative to surrender to him.

Li Chengqian did not reply to these two people, mainly because he did not want to privately promise high officials and generous salaries to these two people. He now holds a great reputation. If he privately promised these two people and a high official, then he would go to Chang'an City to ascend the throne, wouldn't he have to be nepotist?

These two people were different from the officials who were granted titles when they held the Anying Conference in Luoyang. Those who accepted his titles were all heroes in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. Because Ju Suiliang and others were treated unfairly, Li Chengqian had no psychological pressure to add the titles.

But if Niu Yanfu and Zhu Shunde received high officials and generous salaries just for Li Chengqian to ascend the throne, wouldn’t it follow in the footsteps of the Li Shimin’s Xuanwu Sect Incident? Will his sons follow in the future?

But now he wants to seize the throne from Li Shimin and cannot be without a confidant... This is a dilemma.

"Report—Report to the Crown Prince General Xue has set up a military formation and ask the Crown Prince to order the attack on the city."

Li Chengqian was thinking about Xue Rengui sending someone to report.

Li Chengqian looked up at Xiongkuo's Hangu Pass and said intimately: This siege completely violated Li Shimin's will, and it is very likely that it would leave an insurmountable crack on the Tang Dynasty.

But what else can he do at this time?

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Send the order to take off the flying eagle army!"

The Flying Eagle Army was a hot air balloon army formed by Li Chengqian using the young and strong people on the Leyouyuan. It played a role in quelling the rebellion of King Jing. After the rebellion was stolen, it was stolen by Li Shimin. For reasons such as technical confidentiality, Li Shimin did not replace it with the soldiers of this army. This is a manifestation of Li Shimin's confidence. He believes that even if these people are loyal, they will never dare to easily rebel.

Later, Li Chengqian went to Youzhou to prepare for the conquest of Goguryeo, and Li Shimin returned the army to Li Chengqian, one to help Goguryeo, and the other is because Li Chengqian is far from him and there is no need to worry that Li Chengqian suddenly attacks with the Flying Eagle Army.

In front of Hangu Pass, with Li Chengqian's order, the Flying Eagle Army hidden in the military formation immediately began to ignite the fire and then saw colorful hot air balloons rising from all over the Tang Dynasty military formation floating towards Hangu Pass.

Li Chengqian looked at hundreds of hot air balloons lined up toward Hangu Pass, and felt proud and chanted loudly: "The road to the pass is as iron as iron, and now he has taken a step back."

"These two lines of the father's poems are really bold and powerful, and they are not weak at all than the poem "The King of Qin Sweeps the Six He" written before, I would have completed it." Li Xiang praised the audience with great support.

Li Chengqian was very happy when he was picked up by his son, so he wanted to read all the lyrics. He looked at Li Xiang with a deep look and nodded and said, "Well, since this morning, I have been in a state of great excitement. But when I thought of fighting with the same family, I was not as interested in poetry. I only got a few lyrics-" But when I said this, I suddenly remembered that this song "Remembering Qin'e" was filled in late autumn. The beginning of the sentence "Frost Morning Moon" is still in summer, and it is obviously wrong. I want to change it for a while but I have no ability, so I have to give up.

He pretended to be so profound that he looked up at the city entrance of Hanguguan, just thinking that he had suddenly lost his memory.

Li Xiang looked at Li Chengqian suddenly stopped talking and thought that Li Chengqian was waiting for him to record. She hurriedly turned around and ordered someone to pick up paper and pen, but was stopped by Liu Kui.

Facing Li Xiang's puzzled look, Liu Kui had to make up, "I'm going to attack the city, is Your Highness the Crown Prince busy?"

After hearing this, Li Xiang reluctantly accepted it and turned to look at Hangu Pass.

Li Chengqian gave Liu Kui a big thumbs up in his heart, pretending to be a little move that he didn't notice them, staring at Hangu Pass.

Niu Yanfu, Zhu Shunde and others were shocked when they saw the hot air balloon floating in the air. How could they defend Hangu Pass when facing thousands of attacks?
