Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded, then walked to his jade case, picked up a command arrow, and said to Pei Ji: "Pei Aiqing, immediately send someone to hold my command arrow, and rushed to Tongguan immediately, and strictly ordered Li Daozong to leave Tongguan as quickly as possible.

Race to Chang'an! If you dare to delay, you will be punished as disobeying the imperial edict!" Pei Ji held his fists and responded, stepped forward and bowed to take the order arrow, and walked out quickly.

Li Yuan thought for a while, walked to the back of the Yu Case and sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a letter sign, and then handed it to the old eunuch Zhao Yong, and ordered: "Immediately send a letter to Shimin with a flying pigeon!" Zhao Yong

He bowed and took the letter sign, agreed and left in a hurry.

Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, if nothing happens, it will be all..." However, before his words were finished, there were waves of fierce fighting sounds coming from afar. Everyone present could not help but look at them.

Change, Li Yuan said anxiously: "Did the Liao army attack again?" He said that, and quickly got up and left the hall. The civil and military officials followed closely behind. Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound of killing, but at night

There was only the sound of soldiers and swords in the middle, but there was no scene of fighting. Everyone was shocked and suspicious. Liu Wenjing suddenly said: "Then is outside the North City Gate, and it is Luo Yi who launched another attack!"

Everyone didn't know the situation of the battle at the north gate, and couldn't help but feel worried. Li Yuan quickly sent an imperial guard officer to the north gate to find out the situation of the battle. Time slowly passed by everyone's worries, and the sound of fierce fighting in the distance continued.

Suddenly, an officer rode his horse outside the palace gate and was blocked by the Imperial Guard who was holding the door. The officer held a flag and shouted loudly: "Urgent military information!" Seeing this, the Imperial Guard immediately

The officer rushed into the palace until he rode his horse under the jade steps in front of the hall, turned over, rushed to Li Yuan, and knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, General Chai Shao just sent troops out of the city to try to open the quilt

The landfill moat of the Liao army, but unexpectedly, was attacked by the Liao army ambushed in the dark, and suffered heavy losses!…”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed. Liu Wenjing asked anxiously: "What is the battle situation now? The Liao army did not enter the city, right?" The officer said: "Because our army raised the suspension bridge in time, the Liao army failed to invade.

In the city! The battle has stopped now!"

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then listened with all their ears, and sure enough, they heard the sound of the fierce battle in the distance gradually returning to silence.

Li Yuan asked the officer, "Is Chai Shao's troops a big loss?" "Report to Your Majesty, according to General Chai, he lost about 3,000 people!..." Li Yuan only felt a headache and couldn't help but murmur:

"Another three thousand lost!..." Liu Wenjing hurriedly clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, please order the generals of each army to strictly order them not to leave the city without authorization! The Liao army is not an ordinary opponent, and rashly leaving the city will only lose more than the loss of the general as it is now!"

Everyone agreed. Li Yuan nodded, and then ordered the officers in front of him to order the generals of the army to fight without his consent, and those who violated the order were punished as a resolute person. The officer took the order and hurried away.

Zhang Lang stood in front of the big tent and looked at the north gate in the distance. Yelu Qingping, dressed in military uniform, stood behind him. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the camp gate, and a scout came on his horse.

The lieutenant guarding the gate saw that it was his scout, and immediately ordered the camp gate to open. The scout rushed straight into the camp gate until Zhang Lang before he suddenly stopped the horse, jumped off the horse, and bowed, "King,

Just now, Chai Shao sent people out of the city to try to dig open the moat that our army was filled with, but was raided by the cavalry ambushed in General Luo Yi's sight. Thousands of casualties and the remaining soldiers had fled into heavy losses! The battle was over at this moment."

Zhang Lang smiled slightly. Yelu Qingping couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Is this Chai Shao smart or stupid? We have suffered so many defeats in our hands, why can't we learn to be good!" Zhang Lang smiled and said, "

Chai Shao can be regarded as a talented general. If Luo Yi had not been in charge in the north, Chai Shao would have succeeded at this moment! He would have been careless against Chai Shao!"

Yelu Qingping suddenly smiled. Seeing this, Zhang Lang asked in confusion: "Qingping, what are you doing?" Yelu Qingping glanced at Zhang Lang and said: "I'm laughing at Chai Shao, that's also true.

It's so unlucky! He's obviously a character, but because the opponent he's facing is the eldest brother, he always suffers losses and cannot turn over! It's quite pitiful!" Zhang Lang laughed and said, "This is a badass."

It makes me feel so comfortable!" Yelu Qingping gave Zhang Lang an angry look.

At this moment, a flying cat, which looked particularly tall and energetic in white clothes, rushed over and presented a flying pigeon letter to Zhang Lang, saying, "King, the letter from the poster I just received!"

Zhang Lang took the letter, opened it and read it, smiled slightly, turned his head to Yelu Qingping and said, "Qingping, we have something to do!"

Speaking of which, the messenger sent by Pei Ji arrived at Tongguan overnight. Li Daozong was shocked when he heard that His Majesty's envoy was coming, so he quickly put on his clothes and armor and said, "I don't know that the imperial envoy is here, and I will give up my crimes and forgive me!"

He immediately said, "General, don't be too polite!" Then he handed the arrow in his hand to Li Daozong. Li Daozong quickly took it with both hands, confirming that it was Your Majesty's personal order and the arrow was correct, and he quickly bowed and asked, "I wonder what kind of sages your Majesty has?"

"The imperial envoy said: "Your Majesty ordered the general to mobilize 50,000 troops to help Chang'an as fast as possible! The 10,000 troops who were originally guarding Tongguan continued to guard Tongguan! This is Your Majesty's strict order. The general should not delay, otherwise he would be afraid of it.

The sin of eating the order!”

Li Daozong felt a stern in his heart and quickly said, "The General of the Imperial College understands! The General of the Imperial College immediately summoned the army and came out of the pass to help Chang'an as soon as it dawn!" The imperial envoy said, "This is the best!" Then he clasped his fists and said, "I have to hurry back down."

Reply. Goodbye." "I will send the imperial envoy!" Li Daozong kept sending the imperial envoy out of the gate of the capital. After seeing him leave, he led his subordinates back to the hall.

Li Daozong frowned as he looked at the imperial edict in his hand. A general next to him couldn't help but say, "I was ordered to lead a hundred thousand troops to help the King of Qi, but I was ambushed halfway and almost wiped out all the troops! If I go to Chang'an, I'm afraid I will

Repeat the same mistake!"

A young general with a majestic physique and awesomeness said angrily: "Why are you so afraid of the Liao army? I don't believe they can block my silver hammer!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look unhappy.

A general with gray hair but still full of heroic face shouted at the young general with anger: "Yuanqing, don't talk wildly!" It turned out that this extraordinary young general was Pei Yuanqing! And the one who scolded Pei Yuanqing was not someone else
