Chapter 557 Return to the East Palace

Outside the north city of Chang'an City, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the two armies lined up to confront each other along the tall city walls.

Liu Rengui rectified the three thousand Qiang soldiers and immediately leaped out of the battle with his guns and horses, and rushed straight towards the opposite army.

Liu Rengui thought he was both civil and military, but Li Chengqian always regarded him as a civil servant. He had long wanted to show his courage in front of Li Chengqian, but he had no chance before.

Today, he was able to lead troops outside Chang'an City to charge. It was the time when he bravely advanced to the flat road leading to the throne for Li Chengqian.

The horses were running down, and there was no way to care about who was opposite.

As soon as he saw a group of playboys rushed towards him, he didn't know what was called a playboy, and immediately kicked the war horses, holding up the spear in his hand and rushed forward. The Qiang soldiers behind him were like wolves, screaming and following him closely.

Zhao Gui originally thought that he was not only Li Chengqian's uncle, but his father was also Li Shimin's confidant general, and Li Chengqian would not kill him easily.

But Li Chengqian didn't know who he was, and even if he knew about this, Li Chengqian would at most remember to deal with his whole family afterwards, so as not to leave any harm.

But when Zhao Gui saw Liu Rengui leading the army out, it seemed as if the waves were surging and rushing towards them with the momentum of Jun. Just seeing the momentum of the pioneer, Zhao Gui and others were scared to the local area.

It was not until Liu Rengui rushed to him that he realized, and he hurriedly turned his head and ran back.

But once he returned, he saw that the Turkic cavalry behind him had also rushed up, and they were sandwiched in the middle.

At this time, Zhao Gui was shocked by the momentum of thousands of troops rushing into the formation and was shocked by the ability to think, and was stunned in the middle of the two armies again.

In just a moment, he was encountered by Liu Rengui. He killed him and a few personal guards who had not escaped, and then continued to rush.

The next moment, Liu Rengui collided with the Turkic cavalry opposite. When the soldiers on both sides met, they fought hard without hesitation. The spear and Park Knife cut out the incoming flesh and making a puff sound, blood splattered, screams burst out, and the battle became white-hot from the beginning.

Li Chengqian was watching the bloody scene in the carriage, with no expression on his face. He just hated Li Zhi for being too cunning and dared not charge forward. He hid behind the Turkic military formation and could not be killed immediately by Liu Rengui.

Li Shiji looked at Liu Rengui's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard with a fight with the Turkic soldiers, and ordered in a deep voice: "Cheng Mingzhen, Ren Yaxiang, you two lead a thousand cavalry to bypass the vanguard and rush from behind the enemy."

"The last one will follow the order."

Cheng Mingzhen and Ren Yaxiang, who had been watching by the carriage, heard this and bowed to accept the order.

Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Mingzhen and Ren Yaxiang who had returned to lead the army and thought to himself: This is Li Shiji. Cheng Mingzhen has been the Minister of Revenue in the court for many years, but when faced with the military orders issued by Li Shiji, he directly followed them without saying a word.

Cheng Mingzhen and Ren Yaxiang are both people who can lead the army and dismount and govern the people. Although they are not top talents, they are steady and organized, and they are both enough to stand alone.

He received the military order and immediately rectified two thousand cavalrymen, circled from the original direction of Longshou, and rushed straight to Li Zhi's back formation.

Li Zhi, who was also staring at the fight in front of him, naturally saw another cavalry on the opposite side to pick up his nest. He was also worried and couldn't help but look back, but seeing that the Xuanwu Gate in the north was still motionless, he suddenly lost confidence and didn't know what to do.

Looking ahead, most of the three thousand Turkic soldiers were carrying treasures they had just stolen from the Eastern Palace. They originally wanted to reappear their ancestors' majesty on the battlefield and defeat the Qiang guards, making Li Zhi dare not turn against them easily.

However, as soon as we started fighting, we found that the combat effectiveness of the Qiang soldiers on the opposite side was much stronger than theirs. Many tribesmen in front were cut off their war horses, and they didn't know how to live or die. Thinking that the treasure in their arms had not been sold for money, they would die first, and they couldn't help but want to retreat.

The intention of retreating for a lifetime was getting worse and more unable to support it. He could only support the retreat under the leadership of some old Turkic soldiers, and was not far from defeat.

Although Li Zhi had never fought a war, he could not help but say anxiously: "Is anyone going to report to Xuanwu's sect that Li Chengqian killed Zhao Gui."

"Someone has been sent." The guard who followed him immediately.

Li Zhi looked back at Xuanwu Gate and saw that there was still no movement in the Xuanwu Gate, he felt even more anxious, but he still didn't believe that Li Shimin would ignore his life or death.

Could it be that my father was seriously ill again at this time, or something else happened?

Changsun Wuji is the same person as Li Zhi's idea.

Changsun Wuji had just climbed to Chang'an City to take a look at the confrontation between the two armies and concluded that Li Zhi would definitely be defeated. He hurriedly went down the city tower and then went straight into Tai Chi Palace.

However, when Changsun Wuji ran to Xianchi Hall, he found that there were only two small eunuchs guarding the Xianchi Hall, and Li Shimin was nowhere to be found.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked the young eunuch Li Shimin where he was, but he said he didn't know. Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard this.

He said secretly: Could it be that Li Chengqian has sent someone to the palace to kidnap His Majesty?

When Changsun Wuji thought of this, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

While ordering people to find Li Shimin, he returned to the Secretariat and summoned ministers and troops to prepare to fight against Li Chengqian.

...

Outside the city, Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi's thousands of mobs and was attacked by Liu Rengui and Cheng Mingzhen on both sides. He was defeated in just one incense stick and soon retreated to the north of Xuande Gate.

A cool breeze blew, and the flags on the car were "splitting".

Li Chengqian looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was still dense and rainy just now, the sea of ​​clouds was already surging, and huge black clouds flew quickly to the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City to the west. It was obviously a storm and rain that was coming.

Li Chengqian ordered in a deep voice: "Get up and enter the palace."

When Li Shiji heard this, he shook the reins of the horse, and four horses raised their hooves and rose up, heading straight towards Xuande Gate.

As soon as the crown prince was about to be prepared, he quickly followed after seeing Li Chengqian's carriage start.

Li Chengqian stood upright in front of the carriage, and the cloak on his body was also blew by the wind coming towards him, hanging straight behind him, like a wave of water in the air.

Li Chengqian's straight figure was like the mainstay among the surging waves.

Li Chengqian's carriage came to Xuande Gate. Liu Shishi and Zhang Shizheng, who were in charge of the East Palace, had already opened the city gate. Liu Shi stood in the front, and behind him were a group of civil and military officials and eunuchs left in the East Palace, who were welcomed by the city gate.

Li Shiji stopped the car, and Li Chengqian hurriedly walked out of the car with a crutch and personally helped Liu Shi up. Seeing his beard and frosty temples, he said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, Liu Zhongshu."

Liu Shi looked up at Li Chengqian and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, returned from his expedition to Goguryeo and destroyed the country. It is actually the destiny of heaven. I am just following the heavens and dare not say that I have worked hard."

This is very skillful, and Li Chengqian praised him in his heart.
