And after Li Yuan made a decision on the spot, he sent troops from Taiyuan and approached Chang'an.

The Li family has been operating in Taiyuan for many years, and it is not obvious in peace, but at this moment this soldier is revealed, and the Taiyuan guard of his Li family is nearly 50,000 horses, plus the soldiers hidden in the people, in his Taiyuan is able to send out these hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, which shows that the Li family's disobedience is afraid that it has already existed!

At this time, Li Yuan had the same plan as Yang Jian at the beginning, to enter the king of Jingqin, taking advantage of the emptiness of the imperial city now, as long as the emperor was controlled and forced to abdicate, then with the huge network of the Li family, he would be able to ascend to the throne in one fell swoop!

And the more troublesome thing about him compared with Li Yuan is that the Li family is a feudal official, although it is easy for foreign ministers to accumulate strength, but it is not as easy as Yang Jian's close ministers to control the emperor, if it is not so, I am afraid that he Li Yuan and Yang Jian are the first to be uncertain!

And with that holy will, Li Yuan's army almost passed through the various Xiongguan from Taiyuan to Chang'an, which is also thanks to Li Yuan's years of operation, although the guards of each pass are a little confused, but under Li Yuan's words, they all let him pass the pass in confusion, and the road is unimpeded!

And although Yang Jian knew Li Yuan's plan, he didn't prevent the grass from startling the snake, but he didn't give an order!

It is Li Yuan who is so light until the last level on the side of Chang'an, the eternal Xiongguan, known as the Tongguan that has never been broken from the front!

Looking at the majestic Tongguan in front of him, Li Yuan was still a little worried in his heart, and he settled down, and only after calming down his mood did he step forward with a smile.

"Who is coming? Why is such an army coming to the side of Chang'an?" Before Li Yuan could get closer, he heard someone shouting loudly at the gate.

But he saw Li Yuan stepped forward with his empty hands, and said to the gate, "General Qiu is here, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong of Taiyuan Mansion, is ordered to enter Beijing, and I also ask General Qiu to let him go!"

As Li Yuan shouted, he saw a powerful general on the pass, holding a silver spear and wearing silver armor, looking at Li Yuan at this pass and saying, "Your Majesty's order, can there be a holy decree?"

Li hurriedly took out the holy decree, put his hands above his head, and shouted respectfully, "There is a holy decree here, please read it to the king of Changping!"

Li Yuan's words were respectful, and this Tongguan was so important, its guard Yang Jian would not send a simple person, but said that this Qiu Rui was one of the nine elders of Kai Sui in later generations, that Qin Qiong's uncle, the teacher of the four treasure generals and apprentices!

It's just that this life should be the reason for Lin Sen, this founding general has not yet made contributions, Yang Jian has already won the world, but even so, it has not hindered Yang Jian's attention to it, not only was Yang Jian named the king of Changping, but also handed over the Chang'an gateway to this Tongguan to his protection!

It is not only a recognition of its strength, but also a recognition of its surname!

And such a character will naturally not be easily fooled by Li Yuan as before!

I saw that after Qiu Rui saw the holy decree, he did not let him go like the guards of the previous checkpoints, but after studying it carefully, he said with a slight suspicion on his face, "Tang Guogong must not blame, but I don't know when this holy decree will be delivered, why did I, the guard of Tongguan, not get any news!"

Even if he knew Qiu Rui, how could Li Yuan not think about how to deal with it, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment and said directly, "The holy decree is from Taiyuan in the third place, but I just asked me to lead the troops into Beijing, but I don't know exactly when" Then he said to Qiu Rui with a look of embarrassment, "King Changping, he is on the side of the king, compared to the news he has already received, I don't know what the matter is, mention Yuan, so that Yuan can prepare early!"

Seeing Li Yuan's somewhat worried face, Qiu Rui was really difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it really be that there was a holy decree coming out, why didn't he receive any news at all, although he was a military general, but he was a minister, how could he pay attention to the surrounding situation from time to time!

Although Li Yuan's face didn't seem to be fake, Qiu Rui finally shouted, "Please also ask Tang Guogong to be stationed and take me to the palace to confirm that if the holy decree is correct, Qiu Rui will make amends to Tang Guogong regularly and personally open the door!"

"This" Li Yuan's face couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed, and then shouted, "It's just that the date above the holy decree is approaching, I'm afraid that Yuan won't be able to catch up, and he will miss the time!"

But when he heard that, Qiu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Tang Guogong's marching speed is not slow, he can rush to my Tongguan in three days, don't worry, wait for me to send fast horses, it won't take much time to go back and forth, with the speed of Guogong's march, I will definitely be able to catch up within that time limit!"

Qiu Rui's smile like this, a slight flash of brilliance in those eyes, but Li Yuan didn't dare to continue to entangle on this issue, and if he continued to entangle, he was afraid that this general would become suspicious!

At that moment, he had to smile bitterly and said, "General Qiu is so cautious, then Li Yuan is also waiting! I came this starry night, I only expect that when I arrive, I will not be too late, let Your Majesty blame!" Then he said with a wry smile: "General Qiu, I am traveling in the starry night, originally I planned to arrive in Chang'an today, because I did not prepare much grain and grass, but at this time I am stationed outside this pass, but it is really a little inconvenient, I don't know if the king of Changping can let me lead the sergeants into the customs to rest!"

Qiu Rui heard Li Yuan's words, and immediately thought for a moment, but did not answer, but looked up at the sergeant behind Li Yuan, the area before Tongguan was not very vast, because the Li family and horses were not completely exposed under his gaze, this glance was full of sergeants, but he didn't see many axles, Qiu Rui smiled and said, "Tang Guogong has a good way of governing the army! But I didn't expect that the Taiyuan Mansion family would be able to make up so many sergeants!"

Being praised like this, Li Yuan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "The King of Changping has won the award, these 50,000 soldiers, but I have taken out the old bottom of my family in Taiyuan for several generations!"

Qiu Rui also nodded slightly, the vassal kings of various places, even if they accumulate private soldiers, that is, about 50,000 elites, I really don't know why His Majesty summoned this Tang Guogong into Beijing for no reason, is it to start from this Li Yuan to cut down the major clans!?

Qiu Rui thought like this, but nodded slightly, what Li Yuan said was also the truth, everyone is a Great Sui sergeant, if they let him starve in front of the pass, it can't be said, besides, he is an official of the same dynasty, he has already refused to let him go, if he is rejecting the reason for his stationing, he is afraid that things will not be easy to see in the future, so he first agreed to Li Yuan's request to be stationed!

After seeing Qiu Rui nodding, the deputy general beside him shouted loudly, "Open the door"

With the squeak of the gears in the gate of the checkpoint, the iron-clad gate slowly opened, and with the same sound, a smile quietly flashed in the depths of Li Yuan's eyes, and then thanked Qiu Rui gratefully, "Thank you King Changping for your understanding, the whole army has entered the pass!!" and then waved his hand, and the sergeant behind him who was waiting in strict order began to walk towards Natong Pass with neat steps!

With the entry of the army, Qiu Rui, as the general of Tongguan, but also to symbolize the surname of the down, to welcome the arrival of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, when he was about to go down from the gate of the city gate, Qiu Rui casually glanced at the Taiyuan army, and with the advance of the front army, the long queue behind it also began to squirm!

Just a casual glance, Qiu Rui walked down after reading it, but before he walked down the city tower, his eyes suddenly revealed a frightened look, anxiously turned around and strode to the top of the city tower, his eyes looked into the distance, this time he found that the Li family's army was wrong, as a general, the estimate of the number of sergeants is basic, just the Li family queue was blocked by this group of mountains, because Qiu Rui did not see how many people there were, but he believed it when he heard Li Yuan, after all, this is a stable and prosperous world, even if Qiu Rui is a tiger general of the world, he will not think about such a thing as rebellion for a while！

But at that glance, the doubts in his heart were suddenly startled, and he ran back in such a hurry to look into the distance, and in the neat queue between them, there were not only 50,000 horses, how could there be 100,000 people, and since Li Yuan was lying on such an issue, Qiu Rui immediately had only two words in his heart, fraud!!

Immediately, he shouted loudly, "Close the city gate, prepare to meet the enemy", this sudden change made the deputy general beside him stunned immediately, and then he also shouted urgently, but at this time, since the army has begun to enter the city, how can it be too late to close the city gate now!

Li Yuan, who only listened, sneered and waved his hand at that pass: "The whole army charges, take down this Tongguan that is said to have never been broken head-on!"

Under this order, the generals behind him were already impatient, and immediately rushed towards the pass with their respective teams of men and horses.

This situation took a turn for the worse, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were ready to receive them before, but at this time, they suddenly found that the original guests had become enemies, and some of them didn't even hold the blade in their hands for a while.

"It's over!!" Qiu Rui is a general of a hundred battles, and at this time he naturally understands that the other party is prepared, and the sergeant in his pass is completely unprepared, he is not superior in numbers, and he is not an opponent at all at this time, and even a decent resistance suddenly cannot be organized!

This Tongguan is destined to be undefended, but fortunately, it is also resolute, and at that moment it is ordered, "Order the whole army, abandon the pass and retreat!!" As soon as he said this, the deputy general beside him hurriedly stopped and said, "Lord, don't! Abandoning the city and fleeing is a big crime to cut off the head!"

Qiu Rui, who only listened, gritted his teeth fiercely, and then said, "I know it, but if I don't abandon the pass now, all the 30,000 sergeants in this pass will be lost here!" )
