Chapter 40 Attack on the Wolf's Mansion
Halfway through the journey, Prince Fuhu suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, we didn't bury the bodies of those people. Isn't this exposed?"
When Li Gesang heard this, he laughed loudly: "Liang'er, you should think about the problem carefully in your mind. Don't ask such simple questions in the future. Think about it, even if others find out, we will still be there as soon as we came."
Behind us?"
Li Bai and others looked at each other and smiled. At this time, they had arrived at the edge of Dali City. They each abandoned their mounts and entered through the side gate.
It turns out that although Dali is the capital of Nanzhao, its productivity is backward and its construction is not good. Unlike famous capitals such as Chang'an and Chengdu, which are protected on all sides like iron barrels, Dali only opens a gap for the water of the Lancang River and leads it into the outer city, which is barely considered a city.
With a moat and nine gates on all sides of the palace, Dali was still in an uncivilized state. Because Li Gesang knew the terrain well, he entered the palace effortlessly.
Li Gesang knew that although Lang Zhengxuan had imprisoned the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and openly rebelled, he still dared not attack the palace. It must be because of Tie Ning. Tie Ning was the general manager of the imperial army under Li Gesang. He controlled the imperial army and relied on the palace.
It is strong and tightly defended. Lang Zhengxuan has been captured because of Li Gesang. The palace is in a small area. If it is attacked, it will leave an eternal infamy. It is better to leave it temporarily to confuse the eyes and ears of the court. Tie Ning is worried that the palace will not be preserved, and it is even worse all the time.
Paying attention to Lang Zhengxuan's movements, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace and is calling at the Zhengyang Gate!"
I ran out overjoyed and looked down. Who is it if it's not His Majesty?
Immediately, he opened the city gate and led the crowd to greet him. When he was still ten steps away, he rolled off his saddle and dismounted, fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, I really want to harm you!"
Li Gesang helped him up and comforted him in his heart: "I think my brother Zhengxuan betrayed me, but I thought General Tie would not betray me, so he risked his life and returned to the palace. Thank you very much!"
These few words are truly sincere. You must know that under this situation, even the current prince came out to plot rebellion. He, the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, had nothing to offer, and it was very possible for him to be bribed by Lang Zhengxuan.
Therefore, when he called the door just now, he had already made up his mind. If Tie Ning came to greet him happily, it meant that he had no objections. Lang Zhengxuan had not captured the palace yet. If he closed the door and refused to accept it, he would retreat immediately. I hope Tie Ning would come.
His former confidants would still have some kind of affection, and would not fall out immediately, and then consider other plans, or join forces with the military generals to explain the truth, but that would be particularly risky. After all, it is not as good as the imperial army that he personally commanded at all times.
It's convenient.
Now seeing that Tie Ning did not surrender, he was overjoyed, hugged Tie Ning, looked up to the sky and shouted three times: "God help me, God help me, God help me!"
All the Imperial Guards were overjoyed to see His Majesty return safe and sound, and many even cried with joy, which shows that Li Gesang usually treats his subordinates kindly.
Everyone was full of ambition and entered the palace. They gathered all the forbidden soldiers, but only 1,500 people were left. They were suddenly a little chilled. This Lang Zhengxuan was so cruel that he actually lured many of the forbidden soldiers away. Tie Ning cried and said
"Your Majesty, Lang Zhengxuan sends people to the palace every day to lobby. A few days ago, everyone still didn't believe that Your Majesty was really restrained. But after a few days, more people believed it, and people's hearts began to wander.
If I hadn’t personally killed a few people who instigated rumors, there wouldn’t have been so many people left, so Tie Ning is guilty!”
As he spoke, he knelt down with a sigh.
Li Gesang quickly pulled him up, "What are you talking about, General Tie? I remember when I was fighting, I had only three hundred men. Later, I was able to unify Nanzhao. Now I have five times the strength of that time, and I have the reputation of the king."
The shock in Nanzhao is even more unparalleled than in the past. There is hope for suppressing the rebellion. One thousand five hundred people are enough!"
Tie Ning was overjoyed and moved to see Li Gesang regaining his ambition to conquer the world.
When all the forbidden soldiers heard Li Gesang's words, hope arose in their hearts.
Just listen to Li Gesang say: "Everyone, I went to the Yi tribe for sightseeing. I didn't expect that Nalong was so bold that he actually used a gun on me and was captured. But fortunately, my son-in-law Tang Chao was resourceful and brave and saved me and others.
Rescued from the Cave of Life and Death, everyone can rest assured. If all the courtiers know that the king has returned safely, they will definitely surrender to the king. At least they will act as if they are helpless. What Lang Zhengxuan can mobilize is not the 100,000 elite soldiers under his command.
, but it is only the three thousand troops of his Taiwei Mansion. I have selected all of them from the tribe. They are all the best warriors. No one can not equal ten to one. Moreover, Lang Zhengxuan has the reputation of being rebellious. I regard them as dignified.
The division's crusade will be victorious. Those who can stay behind are all loyal and brave men. You must work hard to move forward. After the victory is over, Nanzhao will be shared with you!"
These words, now that they have analyzed the situation, are full of temptation. When many soldiers heard this, they were all filled with enthusiasm and were willing to serve Li Gesang!
Seeing everyone's emotions, Li Gesang knew that the goal of boosting morale had been achieved, and suddenly said loudly: "What I just said is just that I am discussing the matter, but I have another great news to tell everyone, that is, I have
You have a sure chance of winning. You have followed me for many years and you should know that I never lie. Now, I ask you to immediately change your clothes and hairstyle, dress up as a Yi tribe, and assemble at the school martial arts field in a quarter of an hour!"
All the soldiers immediately accepted the order. They all knew that although this matter was incomprehensible, they always believed in Li Gesang's words. If they did this, they would have a sure chance of victory, so they all left happily.
Li Bai and others knew that the matter was urgent and had to set off immediately. They did not bother to work hard all night, so they each had a good meal and closed their eyes to rest.
Over there, Li Gesang gathered the troops to enforce military discipline again, and then with a wave of his sword, he issued an order to have a good meal and get ready for war.
Sheva, who had his acupuncture points tapped, saw all of this in his heart, and felt extremely regretful: He had obviously used anesthetics, poison, shackles, and four layers of iron cages on Li Gesang, but he never expected that he would be
In the Tang Dynasty, a young man with no power to restrain a chicken was rescued. It was nothing more than a rescue. What made me even more frustrated was that this kid seemed to have medical skills and could remove all the poisons and anesthetics from these people. If not
I thought that even if these people escaped, they had been injured by drugs for a long time. Even if they were strong in martial arts, they would definitely be vulnerable. I would not be in danger myself, but in the end I would be captured by others!
At this time, Tang Chao saw his own body lifted up, placed on horseback, and marching towards Lang Zhengxuan's mansion with 300 forbidden troops dressed as Yi soldiers. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly everything became clear to him.
: Li Gesang is so cunning. He actually wanted to use me and the Tang Dynasty as bait to convince Lang Zhengxuan so that he could carry out a sneak attack.
But there was nothing he could do. The acupuncture points all over his body were tapped, so it was absolutely impossible to say a word or move a step. It was impossible to report the news to Lang Zhengxuan.
Tang Chao controlled the saddle with one hand and supported Sheva with the other. It seemed that they were riding together, but in fact they were escorting Sheva. He was wearing a soft protective armor specially given to him by Li Gesang at this time, and he was holding a
A sharp dagger and a broadsword hanging from the waist. Li Bai is on the left, and is supported by the disguised Prince Fuhu Li Liang. He walks in front of three hundred cavalry. They are all full of joy when they look around, and they are quite a bit like a general.
The taste of majesty.
Li Gesang led a large group of troops and followed closely behind, only two or three miles away. According to the agreement, rockets were set off as a signal. Once the Tang Dynasty succeeded, the inside and outside should be coordinated.
But this was a matter of losing his head after all, and sweat still oozed from his palms. He thought to himself, when we fight together later, if my martial arts is so bad, should I hide under the horse's belly or retreat?
While he was hesitating, a voice shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
It turned out that at this time, the outer cordon of Lang Mansion had been reached, and the sentry asked.
Tang Chao immediately stopped the march of the team and said anxiously: "Go and report to the commander, this is General Sheva of the Yi tribe. He came to meet with Commander Lang. He encountered trouble on the way and General Sheva was seriously injured!"
