Chapter 0555 - Bring armor into the palace
Outside Chang'an City, on the edge of the post road, hundreds of officials stand quietly. Situ Wang Yun, who was the leader, looked at the northwest direction with a heavy face.
Taiwei Zhou Zhong held his long hair on the side and sighed: "It's been eight years, and the young man who pacified the yellow scarf that day has grown up like a shout!" ”
Hearing this, the hundred officials sighed secretly, if you look at other people, in eight years, he has gone from a cloth cloth to a hussar general. There are 200,000 soldiers under his command, and there are many good generals. Extinguish the Yellow Turban, quell the rebellion in Liaodong, open up the territory of Liaodong and the northern prairie for thousands of miles, shock the world, and all the people admire!
Someone said: "The hussar general is loyal and righteous, respects the Son of Heaven, and is comparable to the Zhou Gong of the previous dynasty, and will make my Han Zhongxing!" ”
In the eyes of many people, Li Yi's loyalty to the court and the Son of Heaven is unquestionable. These people thought that now that Li Yi led the army to King Qinwang of Chang'an, sitting in the center, he would definitely be able to deter the young people in the world. After many years, I can finally live a stable life.
Wang Yun's face became even heavier because of this, and after killing Dong Zhuo, because he made suggestions, the hundred officials were therefore looking forward. However, if Li Yi comes, things will not be good. Looking at this momentum, he is bound to be subservient to him.
Wang Yun was ambitious, thinking that he would be seized by Li Yi, his anger and blood suddenly surged, and he secretly said in his heart: "You know a fart, Li Yi's loyalty is all pretending, have you ever seen a loyal person who dares to threaten to attack the city without opening the city gate in front of everyone?!" ”
True villain, false loyalty. If you let him take the helm of the court, you people will wait to be cleaned up!
At this moment, a black line appeared on the distant horizon, and then there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the earth trembled rhythmically.
The hundred officials hurriedly sorted out the court clothes again and lined up neatly, and the same was true for Wang Yun, who was the leader, he didn't want to be tongue-stricken.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves, as if thousands of drums were ringing in unison around them, changed the color of the hundred officials. As far as the eye could see, the endless ironclad cavalry was rolling in torrents, even if they were still thousands of steps away, the hundred officials were suffocated. Fortunately, the army soon halted its advance, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop the march!"
Tai Shi Ci shouted, ordered the flag to be unfurled, and the hussar guards were well-trained, so they stopped immediately. Six thousand men reined in the reins, and the birds were silent.
Ha, there are still people to greet you!
On the post road, which can accommodate four carriages in parallel, Li Yi lightly rode forward with the white dragon horse. The breeze blew the red cloak, and in the sun, a black armor shone with an icy glow.
The people who came and went nearby stopped one after another, and the hundred officials standing quietly in front of them also bowed their heads, even if Wang Yun was disgruntled, he didn't dare to face it alone. The scene fell into absolute silence for a while, and even if an embroidery needle fell to the ground, the sound could be heard.
"Array!" Dian Wei shouted.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves broke the silence, and three hundred guards came out left and right along both sides of the road, shooting out more than 300 meters, forcing the soldiers of the imperial court away, placing hundreds of officials in it, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand was erected and the right rib was erected, making a guard of honor.
Looking at the majestic hundred battle armor soldiers, majestic war horses, and sharp long knives in front of him, the hundred officials suddenly panicked, and hurriedly bowed: "Welcome the hussar general back to the court!" ”
Li Yi threw off his cloak, turned over and dismounted, and bowed back: "Li Yi is so virtuous, how can he let the ministers greet him in person, I am really scared ......." ”
Wang Yun scolded secretly, you are scared, if you are really afraid, you kid dared to threaten me yesterday and attack the city without opening the city gate? And looking at your appearance, it is at ease.
The hundred officials suddenly overlapped Li Yi's figure with Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and when they saw him politely bowing back, they breathed a sigh of relief, and said one after another: "The hussar general has conquered the Quartet for my Han Dynasty and opened up thousands of miles of territory, and we should welcome ......."
Subsequently, Li Yi greeted Zhou Zhong and others one by one. Seeing that Li Yi was generous and had no fight, Baiguan suddenly burst into joy, and said that this time the Han family was really saved.
Wang Yun looked at Li Yi, who was holding the moon in the stars, and gritted his teeth. He didn't want Li Yi to have too many opportunities to communicate with the officials, so he ordered to drive and send Li Yi to Chang'an.
Now the Xiliang rebels are fighting against Xu Rong in Baling, and they may attack Chang'an at any time. Recalling Dong Zhuo's tyranny at the beginning, the people are panicked these days, and now that the hussar general personally led the army to King Qin, everyone no longer has to worry about the rebels attacking the city. If they dare to come, with the ability of the hussar general, these rebels will die without knowing how.
Therefore, when Li Yi rode his horse to the west gate of Chang'an, the soldiers and civilians bowed down together, lined up on both sides of the road to greet him, and shouted: "The general is benevolent and righteous, save us from fire and water!" ”
Under the majestic and tall city, people are so small, but Li Yi is only proud and ambitious.
"Lord, the defense of Chang'an is empty, and the guards on the city wall are so sparse." Yuwen Chengdu paid close attention to the march and battle.
Li Yi said with a smile: "Xu Rong is so many, and now he is blocking the Xiliang rebels in Baling, and this Chang'an City naturally has no guarding power." Otherwise, Wang Yun would not have been able to let us into the city easily. ”
Hundreds of officials surrounded Li Yi into the city. The wide street can be compared with the avenue of the later generations, at this time, the water is poured on the street and the yellow sand mat road, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the crowd is crowded. The people admired Li Yi's name and spontaneously organized to greet him, so that Chang'an, which was still prosperous, was empty!
Li Yi handed over the white dragon horse to Dian Wei to lead, and he interacted more with the people and did more pro-people actions.
Baiguan was born in a big family, although he knows the truth available to the people, but he looks down on these mud legs in his heart. Seeing that Li Yi was kind and interacting with the people, and even saluted with the people, their Qinggao would never be able to do such a thing.
The people were grateful for Li Yi's approachable behavior, and everywhere they passed for a while, the cheers rose one after another, wave after wave. It was as if the entire Chang'an City was cheering, and the hundred officials were shocked. For more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, only Emperor Wenjing and Emperor Wu have ever been so loved.
Wang Yun's eyes flashed, and he saw the opportunity that no one paid attention to, and whispered to Huang Wan: "Li Yi is different from Dong Thief, if he wants to do Wang Mang's things...... My big man is really in danger. ”
Wang Mang! Huang Wan's face turned pale suddenly, and he also whispered: "This matter should be made clear to Your Majesty, and you should plan early......
Weiyang Palace, built in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, is the highest place in Chang'an City. The total area is about 5 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of nearly 7 Forbidden City.
This is the orthodox palace of the Western Han Dynasty, and the current Son of Heaven, the later Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, also lives here. The main hall is fifteen zhang deep, thirty-five zhang high, hundreds of steps, the foundation is higher than Chang'an City, so the majestic Weiyang Palace, from the lowest step up fifty zhang tall, that is, there are forty stories as high.
When Li Yi walked here, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. The heart said that being an emperor is awesome, and building a forty-story palace is really a waste, but I like it!
The defense here is much tighter than that of Chang'an City, with flags waving on the platform of several layers of coiled palaces, and a guard holding a halberd in three steps.
Since it was not a court meeting, Li Yi was going to Xuande Hall to see the driver, so after the hundred officials were sent here, they left, leaving only Wang Yun, Huang Wan and others to accompany him.
The three hundred guards followed behind Li Yi under the leadership of Dian Wei and Yuwen Chengdu, although they had never ridden horses, they were as powerful as generals in heavy armor, much stronger than the Praetorian Guards in leather armor. Dian Wei and Yuwen Chengdu stood behind the lord together, eyeing the surroundings.
Li Su, the tiger general who originally commanded the Son of Heaven's guard Yulin Army, has now left Chang'an, and because of the unfavorable battle with the Xiliang rebels, he was beheaded by Xu Rong to show the public, so Dong Cheng, the uncle of the Son of Heaven who is now in charge of the security of the Forbidden Palace, is now in command of the Yulin Army.
Dong Cheng saw that Li Yi's personal guards had been following behind him, looking like they were about to enter the palace, so he said, "General, the personal guards stop here, come with me to see the driver." ”
Li Yi has been in ambush in the forbidden palace once in three or four years, the first time was the rebellion of eunuchs, and the ten permanent servants ambushed the general He Jin. The most recent one was to kill Dong Zhuo, which was ambushed by Wang Yun himself. This palace is so deep that a team of people may rush out of nowhere and chirp themselves. Although he is very confident in his own strength, the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and if there are many people in ambush, he is also in danger. Therefore, let him enter the palace alone, Li Yi will definitely not do it.
Of course, this cannot be said to your face. He turned his mind and said with a smile: "This is the elite of a hundred battles in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and I am about to let Your Majesty see the heroic posture of my Northern Xinjiang Army and go ......."
As soon as he took this step, the three hundred tiger guards immediately followed, and the sound of armor rubbing shocked Dong Cheng, Wang Yun and the others.
Dong Cheng was immediately displeased and said: "General, how can you bring foreign soldiers into the palace, such perverse behavior......
Wang Yun hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in his heart What you said is too straightforward, don't anger Li Yi, then everyone's lives will be difficult to protect.
He knows very well that Li Yi is polite on the surface, and he has a smiling face at everyone, but this guy is not a good stubble. This guy is a man who has been fighting for ten years, defeating countless enemies, and opening up thousands of miles of territory, and he has really killed from the pile of dead.
Li Yi pretended to be confused, and said with a smile: "Foreign soldiers? No, no, no, this is the elite of my Han Dynasty. In addition, the palace is not safe, and a group of rebels will pop out of any palace at any time. Didn't I see the general He Jin, and the Taishi Dong Zhuo died because of this? These rebels kill the great officials, especially the ...... of the great general"
After Li Yi finished speaking, he no longer bothered the two of them, and strode away at the Xuande Palace.
Dong Cheng, Wang Yun and the others were stunned for a moment, what was the killing of the general, what was the mess, they hurriedly chased after it.
Li Yi finally gave the Son of Heaven a face, and when he came to the front of the Xuande Palace, he asked the five hundred guards to stop, and only took Dian Wei and Yuwen Chengdu into the palace to see him. With himself and these two people, even if there are thousands of troops, Li Yi has the confidence to kill. What's more, there are 500 elite guards just outside the hall, and there are more than 10,000 elite iron cavalry led by Tai Shici and others outside the city. (To be continued.) )
