"Where is my lord bringing us?”
"Are they really going to invade the Imperial City and occupy Chang 'an?”
Huo Qubing was puzzled.
Didn't they agree to go to the border of the Tang Empire? Why did they change their direction and go to the inner city and imperial city of Chang 'an?
However, he did not ask too many questions. After all, as a battle general under Cao Jing, he needed to take his place.
Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do.
With this principle in mind, he followed them all the way. An hour later, in front of the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City, Cao Jing, the Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang, arrived with his subordinate, Marquis Champion Huo Qubing. Looking at the towering walls of the Imperial City, Huo Qubing asked Cao Jing,"My lord, can we begin the siege?”
"What is it? Attack the city?"
Hearing this, Cao Jing was stunned. However, when he saw Huo Qubing and the eight hundred champions behind him preparing to attack, he immediately laughed out loud. It seemed that Huo Qubing and the eight hundred champions thought that he had come to the Imperial City to attack Li Er's Taiji Palace.
In fact, it was not the case. He was only here to ask Li Er for a piece of military information about the border.
Otherwise, when they arrived at the border, wouldn't they become blind and deaf? They would run around like headless flies, wasting both time and energy.
However, judging from Huo Qubing's expression, he must have had this question along the way, but he never asked. Instead, he followed behind him loyally, thinking that he was going to attack the Great Tang Imperial City. He did not hesitate to ask for battle, which made him very satisfied with Huo Qubing's performance.
"Qubing, we're not here to attack the Imperial City.”
Cao Jing explained with a bitter smile.
"Not attacking the city?"
Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment. He waved his hand to let the eight hundred champion riders behind him relax. He scratched his head awkwardly and said,"Then why didn't my lord leave the Vermilion Bird City gate and come to the Tang Empire's Imperial City?”
"We need a detailed map of the Great Tang's various tribes, including the distribution and sphere of influence of the barbarian tribes in the four directions.”
After Cao Jing finished speaking, Huo Qubing nodded his head. He finally understood that he had been too inconsiderate.
.........
Taiji Palace, Imperial City of Tang Empire
He had just heard his son Cheng Chumo report that the Blood Red Cloak Heavenly General Cao Jing had brought thousands of soldiers and horses toward the Imperial City in an aggressive manner, showing signs of rebellion.
The Golden Guard General Cheng Yaojin, who was responsible for guarding the Imperial City, kicked Cheng Chumo, who came to report, to the ground. He said that he was talking nonsense.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jing, the 'Bloody Heavenly General' appeared outside the Imperial City with the eighteen riders of Yanyun. Cheng Yaojin, the Great General of the Golden Guards, immediately withdrew his second kick on his son. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and ran toward the inner hall of Taiji Palace.
"You devil, why are you so flustered?"
In the inner hall of Taiji Palace, Li Er, the Emperor of Tang, was diligently handling government affairs. He was reading all kinds of military reports from the border of Tang. When he saw Cheng Yaojin walking over in a panic, he couldn't help but be interested.
If he remembered correctly, ever since he met this devil king Cheng Yaojin, he had never been so panicked, right?
"Your Majesty, the blood-red-clothed Heavenly General Cao Jing is here."
"What is it? Why is he here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up. Thinking back to when he was of low status, he bent down to invite Cao Jing into the palace to listen to the appointment, but he didn't even come. Now, he didn't send anyone to invite him, but he actually took the initiative to come? Could it be that he had figured it out?
Thinking of this, Li Er was extremely excited and a smile appeared on his face.
However, Cheng Yaojin shouted in panic,""He's here with eighteen cavalrymen of Yanyun. Behind him is a general and more than eight hundred cavalrymen. They are holding strong bows and crossbows.”
"You dare! What was his intention? Was he trying to rebel?”
The smile on Li Er's face completely froze. He could not help but slam the table in anger.
"Your Majesty, the Golden Guards of the Imperial City are ready. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, we can counterattack!”
Cheng Yaojin bowed.
Li Er's face turned green and white. He fell silent. The atmosphere in the inner hall of Taiji Palace was strange.
A moment later, he slowly raised his right hand. Just as he was about to give the order, a Tang lieutenant dressed in Mingguang armor came quickly. Cheng Yaojin looked at him and saw that it was his son, Cheng Chumo.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't give the order, don't give the order!”
"The Blood-robed Heavenly General is not here to attack the Xuanwu Sect. He only wants a map of the barbarian tribes and tribes on the border of the Great Tang."
"They have no intention of rebelling and attacking the Imperial City!”
Cheng Chumo's fat body trembled with his steps. He rushed into the inner hall of Taiji Palace and shouted in panic.
