Li Daozong listened to Cheng Yaojin's words and thought to himself,'The tiger is thin and ambitious!' Don't think that I've already lost my official position. Your father is still a prince or duke, so you have to be afraid of me. I'm the emperor's uncle! You're afraid that I'll make a comeback and take revenge on you. Thinking back to the last time he was beaten up, he gritted his teeth in hatred. He looked at these children. They were all very familiar. He recognized Qin Meng at a glance. Today, let's make things clear. Who hit who?”He recounted what had happened that day. Qin Meng crawled half a step forward." Grand Emperor, you're right. I was the one who led the attack on you because I'm the marshal."”"What is it? What are you?" "I'm a marshal." "Who is the Vanguard?" "The vanguard is him." Qin Meng pointed at Luo Zhang. "Forget it. You guys are so young, yet you want to rebel. In order to attack me, even the marshal and vanguard have been mobilized. Qin Meng, since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep today, how can I not beat you up!”As Prince Cheng spoke, he raised his fist and was about to hit him, but Old Cheng quickly stopped him."Your Highness, please wait." "Why are you stopping me?" "Your Highness, listen to me. This Qin Meng's mother is a princess. Would he be happy if you beat up his son? If Qin Meng told the Princess and the Princess told the Empress, would His Highness not listen to his mother? What good is this for you! Why do you have to hit the nail on the head!" "Yes, that's true. Qin Meng, this king won't hit you for the sake of Lu. Retreat to the side." "Thank you, Grand Emperor." Qin Meng stood up and retreated to Li Daozong's left.
Li Daozong called out to Luo Zhang,"You, the vanguard, are also the culprit."”As he was about to fight, Old Cheng stopped him again."Your Highness, he can't be beaten either." "Why can't I fight?" "Think about it, who is Luo Zhang? He is the son of King Saobei, Luo Tong. Luo Tong didn't join the army to help the Crown Prince manage the country. If you were to pick him up until he was covered in injuries, he would go back and tell the North Sweeping King Luo Tong. You don't know the people of the old Luo family. With a glare, they would not recognize their relatives. He is still a prince now, but you are not. If you want to find fault with you, wouldn't it be easy? Wangye, why are you looking for trouble?”When Li Daozong heard this, he couldn't even fight." Retreat to the side."”"Yes." Luo Zhang stood up and stood to the right of Prince Cheng. Li Daozong looked at the children and saw a small blue head with a face like a flower club. "Come here, you little kid.”This was Cheng Yaojin's grandson, Cheng Qianzong. "I'll remember it. This child is the worst. He was the one who pulled my beard. I'll definitely beat you to death."
Cheng Yaojin looked at him and said,"Hey, wait." Your Highness, this child is even more unbeatable.”"What? Why can't I?" "Do you know who he is?" "Who is he?" "He's my grandson, Cheng Qianzong. Your highness, you have to look at the owner to beat a dog. I, Old Cheng, have led these children to apologize to you. Can you beat my grandson? Qian Zong, hurry up and apologize to His Highness.”Cheng Qianzong kowtowed and crawled forward." Your Highness, we've all admitted our mistakes. Just forget it!"”As he spoke, he hugged Li Daozong's legs. Cheng Yaojin saw that the time was right and shouted,""Children, come over and admit your mistakes.”This was the signal. The ten children surrounded him. Cheng Qianzong pulled Li Daozong to the ground. Qin Meng on the left and Luo Zhang on the right grabbed his arms. The thirteen children lifted Li Daozong up. When the servants of the prince's residence who were lying in ambush on both sides saw this, they brandished their weapons to snatch Li Daozong away. Cheng Yaojin shouted,"What are you doing! I'm here on the Marshal's orders to capture a major criminal of the country. Li Daozong has already been executed. If he was brought to the camp, he could be released after interrogation. If you dare to come forward, I'll beat him to death right now!”The servants could only watch as their prince was carried out of the manor.
Xue Rengui was impatient in the tent when he suddenly saw Cheng Yaojin come in. "Old Duke, did you bring Li Daozong's head?”"Rengui, don't be anxious. I've brought Li Daozong for you.”"Where are you now?" "Outside the tent." "Bring him in!" A voice from outside the tent agreed. Li Daozong was lifted up and thrown to the ground. The machetemen came over and held him down. Xue Rengui was filled with anger."Li Daozong, do you know me?”When Li Daozong saw that the person in front of him was a marshal who held the power of life and death, he knew that he couldn't keep his life."Marshal Xue, on account of our past relationship, please spare me.”，"Pah, what kind of relationship did we have in the past! Let me tell you, I'm not taking revenge for myself. I'm taking revenge for the dead Old Marshal Yuchi Gong. Left and right, push him out and kill him! Use his head as a sacrifice to the flag!"
Everyone hated Li Daozong. The machetemen reached out and grabbed him, dragging him out like a dead dog. Li Daozong shouted desperately,"Save them, save them!"”Who could save him in this place? However, his shout was really effective. The marshal's tent was not far from the emperor's Golden Summit Yellow Tent, and Li Shi Min had been waiting impatiently. He asked Official Si Chen, the time for the army to rise has passed, why hasn't the marshal risen? Li Shimin was anxious, but he couldn't wait any longer and decided to personally go to the commander's tent to ask. As soon as he walked out of the Golden Top Yellow Net Tent, he heard someone calling for help. The voice sounded very familiar. He listened carefully." Ah, isn't this my Imperial Uncle, Li Daozong? Ouch." In his heart, he said," Imperial Uncle, oh Imperial Uncle, why are you so insensible when you're old? I've repeatedly warned you not to leave the house and specially sent someone to send you a letter. Why are you here?”How could Li Shimin not care about this? He jogged to the commander's tent and shouted,""Don't kill me, don't attack first, wait for me to see the marshal.”
When someone saw the emperor, he quickly went inside to report to the marshal. Xue Rengui stood up and led the entire camp to welcome the Emperor. After the monarch and his subjects sat down, Li Shimin's face was not very natural."Hehe, marshal, what's going on? Was it Li Daozong calling for help just now?”"Long live, that's right. I want to sacrifice his head to the flag."
Xue Rengui wanted to kill Li Daozong, which frightened the Tang King Li Shimin. He couldn't watch his uncle lose his head, so he could only be thick-skinned and say to Xue Rengui,"Marshal, for my sake, spare his life. He was already in his twilight years. How many more days could he live? Besides, I have already dismissed him from office and demoted his family to civilians. The matter is already over, so why must he take his life?”Xue Rengui was very unhappy, so he didn't say anything. The Emperor said,"Marshal, if you don't speak, I will kneel down for you."”As he spoke, he propped up his dragon robe and was about to kneel, which made Marshal Xue feel bad. How would he dare to make the emperor kneel! "Your Majesty, you can't kill me," she said, quickly holding his hand."I won't pursue this matter anymore." However, Your Majesty, my abilities are limited and I can't take on this responsibility. Please take back the commander's seal and find someone else.”This made the Emperor freeze.
Cheng Yaojin came out to smooth things over."Rengui, it's not wrong for Wansui to plead for Li Daozong. He's already so old, so let him off. He should still be a marshal. How can he be angry for a person!”As he spoke, he shook his head and waved at Xue Li, then pointed at the tip of his nose. Xue Li understood in his heart and took advantage of the situation to end the matter. He released Li Daozong and returned to his marshal position. Li Shi Min was delighted.
Li Daozong didn't expect to survive a second time. Ignoring his weak body, he ran out of the tent. As soon as he left the camp, he heard someone shouting from behind,"Your Highness, please wait." Li Daozong was shocked. He turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin again. "What is it?" Old Cheng walked over and looked around."Wangye, where are you going?" "Back to the residence." "I'm just sending you this message. You must not return to the residence. Didn't you see the Marshal and the generals 'expressions? They let you go openly, but they have already set up an ambush in your residence. Can you still live if you go back?”"Aiya, what should I do?" "Your Highness, don't be anxious. I, Old Cheng, may speak ruthlessly, but my heart is softer than anyone else's. Let's do it this way. Let's go for a walk together and find a safe place for you to hide for a few days. It won't be too late for you to return to the residence after the marshal has left.”At this moment, Li Daozong was panicking. He treated Old Cheng as his savior and followed him into the alley. However, how could he know what Old Cheng was thinking? They took a few turns and arrived at the Fire Dragon Palace at the east gate. This was a big temple. Old Cheng looked inside and saw a big bell under the pavilion beside the door. He led Li Daozong into the temple and closed the door.
Li Daozong looked left and right.”"This is the Fire Dragon Palace. I don't usually come out, so you can stay here.”"What if someone comes?" "Isn't there a big clock here? If you go there first, no one will see you.”"That would suffocate me." "It's okay. I'll put some bricks on it so that we can breathe. Let me tell you, if you don't get under the clock, I won't care.”"Alright, alright, do me a favor." Old Cheng found a wooden bar and pried open the clock. He used bricks to cushion it one by one until people could climb in. He shouted,"Hurry up and go in. There's someone outside." At this moment, Li Daozong was afraid that someone would see him. In order to save his life, he crawled under the bell. Old Cheng pulled out the stick and pounded the brick again. The big bell was locked tightly together. This time, Li Daozong panicked."State Duke Lu, why did you knock the brick over? It's too dark here." "Don't worry, I'll come over after I do something.”
Old Cheng walked around the courtyard and found a pile of dry wood. He brought a bundle to the left and a bundle to the right and piled it around the clock. After the bell was closed, he found a kindling and lit the firewood. In a short while, the flames soared into the sky, roasting the big bell until it turned red. Li Daozong's shouts were heard first, but the firewood was half-burnt before it fell silent. Old Cheng waited for the firewood to finish burning and pried open the big bell to take a look. Li Daozong was curled up in a ball and had long been roasted dry. Old Cheng hired a car to bring Li Daozong's body back to the military camp.
Old Cheng came to the tent and explained what had happened to Xue Rengui. Then, he placed Li Daozong's body under the tent. Marshal Xue nodded after hearing this, and then continued to speak to Li Daozong's corpse. At this time, the Emperor also came. He wanted to ask why the army had not been dispatched yet. He entered the tent and saw what was on the ground."Aiya, isn't this my Imperial Uncle? Minister Cheng, what's going on?" "Long live, don't mention it. Don't you think that this Prince Cheng is old and muddle-headed? If he leaves the main camp, he can just go home and stay. But he doesn't. He said that the residence isn't safe and insisted that I find a safe place for him. Where can I find one for him? We had no choice but to stroll on the streets. We strolled to the Fire Dragon Palace. He saw that this place was big, so he went in. There was a big bell in the temple. Prince Cheng saw that it was safe and had to go in. I had no choice but to help him pry open the bell and he climbed in. Just as he entered, a fireball suddenly flew from the sky and landed beside the big clock. This big bell was next to a pile of firewood. When the firewood caught fire, the bell was roasted red. When I put out the fire and opened the bell to take a look, it became like this.”Li Shimin understood what he meant. He thought to himself," Stop lying. Even a child wouldn't believe your words." You really know how to talk nonsense. But on second thought, he couldn't punish Cheng Yaojin because of this. If he wanted to punish him, Xue Rengui wouldn't be happy either. This was a chain reaction. Since Prince Cheng was dead, there was nothing he could do. The Emperor wiped away his tears and ordered people to carry the corpse out. Satisfied, Xue Rengui ordered the army to set off. After three cannon shots, the 300,000 armored soldiers left the capital in a mighty manner. The vanguard was led by Qin Huaiyu, the son-in-law of the official vanguard. He led the deputy vanguards, Jiang Xinben, Jiang Xinba, Li Qingxian, Li Qinghong, Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, and Xue Xiantu. They led 30,000 troops to clear roads and bridge rivers. The rear troops were Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixian, Yin Kaishan, and Liu Hongji, who were in charge of transporting grain and grass. Tang Wanren and Tang Wanyi of the left army, Cheng Tieniu and Cheng Wanniu of the right army, and Tang Wanniu of the right army. Marshal Xue and Military Advisor Xu led the central army, and the emperor followed the central army.
The Tang army, with their banners and banners fluttering in the wind, was marching on the main road of Shaanxi Province to attack the Xiping barbarians. This was not like sweeping the north, so he personally led the army. The large group of people walked through the areas of Ningxia and Gansu, out of the Jade Gate Pass, and across the Hanhai. The road was mostly desert land, and they arrived at Jiepai Pass. Five hundred miles away from Jiepai Pass was the Western Liang Kingdom. It was sparsely populated. There was a river and a border here. If a Tang army came, they would have to pass through Ningxia and pass through the Jade Gate Pass. Then, the Tang army, which had been investigated by Western Liang soldiers the day before, would send troops to attack Western Liang and report to Su Baotong. The generals guarding the passes had been on guard day and night, sending small barbarians to scout the horses and inquire from afar.
Jiepai Pass had a garrison commander surnamed Hei named Liandu. He was ten feet tall, had a head as big as a bucket, broad shoulders and waist, a cinnabar face, short face, wide cheeks, eyes like copper bells, a red beard under his chin, and two arms with the strength of a thousand pounds. He went into battle with a nine-chain saber that weighed 120 pounds. He was very powerful. He was in the private yamen, talking to the deputy generals about the country uncle and the Tang army meeting when a small report came in, saying,"Not good! Qiping Zhang Ye, I heard that the Southern Sacred Lord personally led an army of 300,000. There was Xue Rengui, the King of Liao, as the Grand Marshal. Qin Huaiyu, the vanguard's son-in-law, led the way on the left and right. There were several generals and a joint commander below to attack Jiepai Pass.”Hei Liandu laughed when he heard this." We were just talking about how the country's uncle sent troops to conquer the Central Plains. Who knew that they would come to die!" Did you find out?" "I found out about it at Jade Gate Pass," said Xiao Fan.”How far was the exit? They said that the vanguard was about to leave Jade Gate. I have to go and inquire about it quickly. "Grand Master," the generals asked hurriedly,"why are you laughing so loudly when the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty arrive?"”"Oh! Generals, my uncle wants to take over the Central Plains, so he sent a letter of challenge to the Emperor of Tang the day before yesterday. He killed the envoy instead. My uncle was furious and reported to Lord Wolf. Lord Wolf was furious and ordered my uncle to raise an army. Unexpectedly, he had sent his troops here. Lord Wulf was blessed to the heavens, and the Great Tang should be extinct! Xue Rengui was the commander-in-chief, and he was a Cooks 'Army. What ability did he have? It was easy for him to conquer the east, but it seemed that it was difficult to conquer the west. Our country's marshal was powerful, so the universe would definitely belong to our Lord Wulf.”"How can you say that?" asked the generals. "The current Tang Dynasty relies on Xue Rengui's ability. He only thinks that the West doesn't have any capable people, so he personally led the army. However, he did not know that the Wolf Lord of the West was filled with heroes, so why would he be afraid of Xue Rengui and Qin Huaiyu? When the Tang soldiers arrive, they will definitely attack Jiepai Pass. When the town goes out and catches the Tang generals alive to present to the country's uncle, wouldn't it be the credit of the town?”"Lord Pingzhang," the generals shouted,"we're all depending on you at this juncture. The generals will go back to the yamen to train their troops. Sooner or later, there will be a battle."”But this flower Zhi Lu Da does not spend and so on farewell to return to the yamen, naturally carefully to take care of. Hei Liandu ordered General Manager Du to close the door and add more cannon fodder bottles and stones. He also ordered him to use a strong bow and arrow. If the Tang soldiers arrived, he would report to him immediately. It was important to guard the critical moment. As for the Great Tang's vanguard, Qin Huaiyu, he had led ten thousand men from Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu out of Yuyimen Pass. A soldier reported,"Prince Consort, the Jiepai Pass is in front."”He asked how far they were. He said he was ten miles away from the pass. He ordered the firecrackers to set up camp. The soldiers came over and asked about the arrival of the soldiers. Everyone received the order and went forward.
The Emperor of the Great Tang led a large group of people through the Jade Gate and came all the way west. Qin Huaiyu, the Emperor's son-in-law, greeted him,""This junior is here to receive Hou Longjia and Marshal. The Jiepai Pass was right ahead. I dare not disobey the marshal's orders and camp here.”Xue Rengui said,"The Prince Consort has listened to my orders. He will succeed immediately and the West Liao will be pacified."”He ordered the three armies to set up camp and enter the imperial camp. The Emperor asked,"Have the eight commanders that Brother Xiao Wang has summoned arrived?"”"I was summoned by His Majesty to leave Shansi," Xue Rengui reported."I will arrive sooner or later."”Before he could finish his words, a report came in from outside saying,"Zhou Qing and the other eight commanders are here to see you."”The emperor was very happy and ordered him to come in. Zhou Qing and the others knelt down and reported,"Zhou Qing and his seven brothers have come to see you.”"The eight commanders are here to protect you," the emperor said.”He thanked him for his kindness and stood beside him. He ordered the army to break camp and attack the enemy. After three shots, all the battalions advanced together.
"Lord Pingzhang, the Tang soldiers have arrived."”Hei Liandu said,"The sound of the cannon outside the pass just now must be the Tang soldiers arriving at the camp." If there is a Tang general who wants to fight, come and report to me.”Fan 'er received the order and watched from the gate. Then, the Marshal of the Tang Camp gave the order,"Which general will go out to seek battle?"I'm going out to ask for a fight." The marshal was overjoyed." The Tartars of the West are very powerful. We need to win against them at the beginning of the first round to be considered a brave general of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Prince Consort has gone out, he will definitely succeed."”He ordered Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing to be the left and right wings. If the son-in-law defeated the generals, the two brothers would take advantage of the situation to seize the pass. Qin Huaiyu rode on the Thunder Leopard, holding a spear, a sword, and a whip. He wore a helmet and armor, and with the sound of a cannon, the camp gate was opened. The Yuchi brothers finished their preparations and followed Qin Huaiyu. The golden drum beat loudly, and they rushed to the pass. When the small soldiers saw what a Tang general was, they shot arrows at him. The emperor personally led the army and told him to surrender as soon as possible.”Qin Huaiyu shouted at the gate, and a small report came in,""Lord Qiping Zhang, the barbarians of the Southern Dynasty are seeking war outside the pass.”Hei Liandu heard the report and ordered the generals and the three armies to go out of the pass together with the town and kill the Tang soldiers without returning. Hei Liandu took off his robe, put on his helmet, put on his armor, and mounted his horse with a knife. Out of the General Office Yamen, came to the pass, looked down, oh! What a barbarian. He wore a silver dragon helmet and golden armor. His face was like a silver basin, and his long beard fluttered behind his head. He hung a bow in his left hand and inserted an arrow in his right. He sat on the Thunder Leopard and looked very impressive. There were two evil figures in the distance, Tang Jiang. Hei Liandu ordered Batu to fire the cannon. With a loud sound, the gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. Hei Liandu exited the gate and all the generals came out together. Behind him, there were three hundred archers who shot at the enemy's formation. Qin Huaiyu looked up and saw a tartar charging down the suspension bridge. He had a golden helmet with phoenix wings on his head, a large red tassel, a lion's mouth, a big nose, a cinnabar face, a pair of strange eyes, a short face, and a beard. He was wearing a red robe dyed with gorilla blood, and a dragon scale red copper armor. He hung a bow on his left hand and inserted an arrow in his right hand. He held a nine-chain saber and sat on a black horse. He rushed to the front of the formation and raised his saber. Qin Huaiyu held his spear and said,""Then leave your name." "Hmm, do you want to know the name of this town? I'm under the emperor of Xiliang, under the command of the red-robed broadsword country's uncle, Grand Marshal Su. I'm appointed to guard Jiepai Pass and am the commander of the army, General Hei Liandu. Do you know how powerful our machete skills are?”Qin Huaiyu said,"I don't know who you are. Today, the soldiers have arrived and will kill all the ants in your country. Where are you, a barbarian and a child, to occupy Jiepai Pass and block the path of the soldiers? Those who obey me will live, and those who block my way will die. Hurry up and offer the pass to avoid death. If he didn't agree, it would be too late for regrets if he died on Master Qin's spearhead!”Hei Liandu was furious and shouted," You dog barbarian, how capable are you? Are you so exaggerated?" I don't kill nameless generals. I'll kill you by name.”"Do you want to know my name?" asked Qin Xianfeng. I'm the Prince Consort of the Great Tang, a subordinate of Marshal Xue. I'm also the Great General of the Country, and I'm the vanguard of the vanguard. My surname is Qin and my name is Huaiyu. Have you not heard of the Prince Consort of Qin?”Hei Liandu laughed loudly and said," So you're Qin Qiong's son. I also know that you have a name in the Central Plains. It's nothing special in Xiliang." The Lord of the Tang Dynasty still wants to be captured alive. Why should I wish you a barbarian dog?”Qin Huaiyu said,"Don't talk too much. Just use Master Qin's spear!"”So he took out his spear and stabbed Black Liandu in the face.
