Bad people: who is not a descendant of Li Tang

Chapter 252 Return
The tall and dilapidated Iron Ye wooden city gate finally had no support and collapsed.

Thousands of kilograms of door panels collapsed on the ground, and whatever they were was crushed into powder in an instant, and thick dust and smoke rose up.Then after a long time, a horse galloped in with a spear.

Then, tens of thousands of troops swarmed in, and the tall and fluttering "Tang" flag was planted on this great pass that had supported the world for half a month.

Inside Hulao Pass, the bodies of Liang Jun who fell to the ground were everywhere. From time to time, huge black pits appeared inside. Weapon flags were scattered on the ground. The soldiers of Liang Jun who were not killed in the battle were kneeling on the ground with their bare hands, accepting the words of Tang Jun. of bondage.

Even the soldiers of the Tang Army looked solemn when they saw the tragic situation in Hulao Pass.

Before today, the Tang army had lost only a few hundred men and horses.But the consequence was that the amount of arrows and shells expended increased exponentially. The number of arrows fired at Hulao Pass alone totaled millions.

There were also Tang soldiers riding hang gliders, attacking every day. Liang Jun's morale became even more depressed under the daily bombardment.

Until today, the Tang army launched a general attack, quickly breached the city gate and occupied the city head with minimal battle losses.After less than an hour of street fighting, Liang Jun surrendered.

The tens of thousands of Liang soldiers at Hulao Pass who were able to persist to this day despite their morale being so destroyed deserve to be respected by the Tang army.

As soon as the figure wearing a python suit and silver armor, riding a black divine horse, appeared in Hulao Pass, the entire pass extended outwards, and shouts of "King Qin" rang out from everywhere.

The shouts of "Long live the King of Qin" reached their peak today.

On a high slope a few miles east of Hulao Pass, Wang Yanzhang stood on horseback with a silent expression.

Around him, there were only a hundred or so panic-stricken generals and cavalrymen of the Liang Army, and even the army flags, all of which were lost in Hulao Pass before they could get them on the way out.

The sound of the mountain shouting "Long live King Qin" can be faintly heard even here, causing everyone on this hillside to look lonely.

"Commander, Tang Junzhi Sheng... Can you still block it..."

After a long time, a man beside Wang Yanzhang who looked like a civil servant with a high rank and dressed like a civil servant trembled with a pale face and made a sound.

Once Hulao Pass was lost, there was no more heroic pass that could stop the Tang army's cavalry from invading eastward. From then on, the offensive and defensive changes were truly transformed.

No one could have imagined that in just half a year, Daliang would lose Guanzhong, and today he would lose Hulao Pass.

The entire Central Plains of Henan Province was completely exposed to the Tang Army's cavalry, and it really had the potential to "look down on the Central Plains from a majestic pass".

And how could the prosperity of the Tang army be blocked by Liang, who is now in decline and has only a handful of elite soldiers?
When Wang Yanzhang heard this, he just closed his eyes in pain, and there were blue veins in the hand holding the reins.

After a while, he opened his bloodshot eyes.

"You and I are both Liang Chen, and we just need to share the worries for His Majesty. The Tang army cannot stop it, and you and I, with our flesh and blood, have to fight to the death to stop it..."

But as soon as his words came out, if it was on a normal day, it would definitely resonate, and all the generals would respond fiercely.

But at this moment, only the desolate wind remained on the hillside. Even the civil servant who asked him just now had his lips pursed and said nothing.

Under Wang Yanzhang's glance, the generals' eyes were evasive and they did not dare to look directly at him.

At this time, Wang Yanzhang's heart truly felt cold.

But what more could he say about that?

Zhu Youzhen was mediocre and cruel, and everyone in the court was in danger. The soldiers under his command could only receive one-fifth of their salary. The prosperous land of the Central Plains had been completely destroyed by the two generations of Liang monarchs. Just a few days ago, even the people who had always been Ma Yin of Chu State, who acted according to the situation, completely broke up with Zhu Youzhen and announced that he would attack Zhu Liang to avenge the "humiliation of paying tribute" for many years.

With a bitter taste in his mouth, Wang Yanzhang could only pull the reins and turn the horse's head.

"Go back, gather the remaining troops, maybe we can still hold on for a while..."...

At the beginning of May in the ninth year of Tianyou's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin, with Liu Zhijun as the commander, conquered Hulao Pass, killed tens of thousands of enemies, captured countless baggage, and nearly [-] prisoners.

Later, in the name of "the soldiers had been away from home for many years and had never returned home to visit their elders", the King of Qin sent all the captured Liang troops back to Liang with gifts and travel expenses.

The remaining tens of thousands of Liang soldiers all voluntarily surrendered to the King of Qin and served the Tang Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that among the tens of thousands of people who were sent back, only a few hundred Liang soldiers rejoined the Liang army. Most of them were forcibly recruited into the army and later encouraged the Liang soldiers to escape from the army...

All this happened just before Li Jing turned back to cross the Yellow River.

He originally thought that he could catch up with the battle to break the Hulao Pass when he returned, but he never thought that the empress had great courage. With a wave of her hand, the three armies came out and captured the crumbling Hulao Pass.

By the way, it also gave Li Jing a good reputation and took advantage of the situation to establish a good persona of "caring for the military and civilians".

In this way, the title of Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty became more and more justified.

We don't want to fight either, but Zhu Liang was in trouble in the Central Plains. We were sent by the King of Qin to liberate you. As long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, you can immediately bring money home...

The empress must be very clever. When it comes to setting up characters, Li Jing can only be impressed from a distance...

…………

"Minister Bago, I have met King Qi."

In the candlelit hall, as soon as Bago saw the empress, he took advantage of Li Jing's unpreparedness and knelt down to the empress.

It was only today that she learned that the empress was King Qi, and that Prince Qi was the empress.

Only then did I understand why King Qi really handed over the power to Li Jing.

I just figured out who is the real boss among the women next to Li Jing...

Li Jing was a little surprised. After he returned to Luoyang, he waited until the empress had settled everything, and only now did he have time to meet the empress who had returned to her identity.

I was originally worried about introducing Bago to the empress, but Bago, a tough girl, was so cooperative that she surrendered?
At this moment, the empress had changed back to her own identity, wearing a bright red palace attire, Feng Mu just glanced at Li Jing, who looked slightly embarrassed, and smiled faintly.

"Get up, there's no need to be polite. I heard King Qin mention Yu Qian before. I don't want to talk about these etiquettes in my family."

I don't know if it was because he wanted to see the empress, but Bago had already changed into a wild outfit and was wearing a plain women's gown.But because of her hot figure and slightly enchanting face, she still looks exotic.

Hearing the empress' soft voice, she stood up politely and felt quietly relieved.

"By the way, in Luoyang City, there is only King Qin now, but there is no King Qi. Don't call me King Qi from now on. If it's convenient, you can call me a sister with Chi Meng."

Before Bago could recover, he heard the empress say this again.

Bago's narrow beautiful eyes opened wide in an instant. He first glanced at Li Jing, who was smiling lightly, and then wanted to salute the empress.

To be able to call the Empress a sister is a real compliment to her!
