Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Li Shimin, who was always paying attention to the trends on the battlefield, immediately saw Zhou Xiaohai's rebellion.

With scarlet eyes, he glared at Zhou Xiaohai who took out the long knife from Liu Shili's body, and roared with eyes splitting:

"Zhou Xiaohai, I swear to kill all nine of your tribes!!!"

Hearing Li Shimin's roar, Zhou Xiaohai calmly kicked Liu Shili to the ground before he died.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Li Shimin from a distance, with a hint of contempt on his lips. Then, he imitated Chu Mo and gave him a middle finger.

In an instant, Li Shimin felt his blood surge and he wanted to cut Zhou Xiaohai into pieces.

However, with Zhou Xiaohai's betrayal and Liu Shili's death, more than half of his soldiers were lost in this sneak attack.

And now that the two armies are still at war, Cui Yingying, who is facing the front, seizes this opportunity and directly orders a fierce attack.

The two sides were now engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the firecrackers had completely lost their effect.

Therefore, under the coordinated attack with Zhou Xiaohai, the army without Liu Shili, the commander-in-chief, instantly became a mess, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

As for Li Shimin, he could only watch helplessly as Zhou Xiaohai and Cui Yingying joined forces to attack and engulf all of Liu Shili's subordinates.

Although he was angry, the current situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable to him.

Moreover, Li Shimin also discovered that the battle had been going on for such a long time, and none of the palaces had sent a single soldier to support them.

Even the Chengtian Gate defenders who were very close did not move at all.

Faced with such a strange situation, as a king, he naturally knew what it meant.

After looking at Cui Yingying and Zhou Xiaohai, who were about to end the battle, and at Zhang Changlin and Duan Zhixuan, who were still unable to decide the winner, Li Shimin felt miserable in his heart, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Taking the reins handed over by a close attendant, Li Shimin jumped onto his horse, and then rushed towards Duan Zhixuan's troops with hundreds of personal guards.

"Zhixuan, the situation is not good, what should we do now?"

Li Shimin rushed to Duan Zhixuan without directly stating that he wanted to escape.

Instead, he hopes to say the word "evacuate" through Duan Zhixuan's mouth.

After all, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he took the initiative to offer to escape, there was no telling how he would be arranged by the historians in the future.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Duan Zhixuan looked around the battlefield and knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to his side, and he also knew the meaning of Li Shimin's words.

He looked at the stalemate battlefield in front of him, and then looked at Cui Yingying's troops from behind who had begun to slowly move this way.

Duan Zhixuan's eyes flashed with determination, nostalgia and regret.

Finally, he saluted Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, the rebel army is so powerful that you must not stay here for a long time. I also hope that Your Majesty will move to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and mobilize all the troops outside the city to kill the rebels."

"If you are willing to stay for Your Majesty's sake, I would like to ask Your Majesty to leave as soon as possible."

"Zhixuan, as the king of a country, how can I abandon all the soldiers? I am willing to stay and advance and retreat with you."

Li Shimin did not directly agree to Duan Zhixuan's request, but wanted to pretend to be polite.

Duan Zhixuan sighed in his heart, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he knelt down directly:

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country and you must not take any risks."

"Please forgive me for waiting for nothing."

After speaking, he stood up and shouted to the guards beside him:

"Send Your Majesty away."

Upon hearing Duan Zhixuan's order, the guards immediately stepped forward, took Li Shimin's reins, and quickly withdrew towards the Tai Chi Palace.

The Qianniu Guards and Imperial Palace Guards in the team also immediately protected Li Shimin and quickly left the battlefield.

Li Shimin resisted a few words at first, and howled twice in the direction of Duan Zhixuan.

But when he saw Cui Yingying behind him galloping toward him with a large group of people, he immediately grabbed the reins, waved his whip, and quickly ran away towards Xuanwu Gate.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to escape, Cui Yingying and Zhou Xiaohai left some soldiers to clean up the mess, and took the remaining troops to pursue the other party in the direction of escape.

Although Li Shimin was riding a horse, because he was surrounded by palaces and the palace walls were high, and the palace was not suitable for horse racing, the speed could not be increased at all.

But if he is asked to dismount, he can use his legs to escape like an ordinary soldier.

With his current body alone, it would definitely be too much for him.

Seeing Cui Yingying and Zhou Xiaohai chasing each other closer and closer, I will probably have to explain my time here today.

Suddenly, I saw a group of people approaching quickly in the distance, led by Li Chengqian and Queen Changsun.

It turned out that since Li Chengqian was deposed, he was directly taken by Empress Changsun, saying that she had failed to teach him well in the past, which caused the prince to lose his virtue and make a big mistake.

In order to make up for the mistakes she made, Queen Changsun decided to take her with her and discipline her well.

Originally, it was Li Shimin's conspiracy to depose Li Chengqian, so Queen Changsun's request was not obstructed by many people.

Today, they were notified early and knew that His Majesty the Emperor was taking advantage of the battle between several masters to lay out a plan in the palace to lure those rebellious officials and traitors who secretly coveted Li Tang's kingdom, hoping to catch them all.

I thought I had already taken precautions and this matter should be foolproof.

Therefore, before the war started, Li Shimin only sent a few hundred guards to gather all the concubines, princes, and princesses in the harem in the Li Zheng Hall to prevent any dispersed rebels from getting lost and rushing into the harem to kill them.

But he never thought that it was this move that saved his life.

Seeing the reinforcements approaching quickly, even though there were only a few hundred people, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, I am late to save you, please forgive me."

Looking at the embarrassed Li Shimin, Li Chengqian resisted the urge to ridicule, lowered his head and saluted.

Li Shimin ignored this good-for-nothing son, but looked at the anxious Empress Changsun and said:

"Guanyin maid, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to guard the Li Zheng Hall? Why are you running around?"

After saying that, he said to Li Chengqian who was bowing and saluting:

"The rebels are strong and the palace is about to fall. It is no longer safe here. Now, take your mother and leave with me."

After saying that, he ordered someone to bring in another horse and helped Queen Changsun get on the horse.

After saying a few words to the guard captain beside him, asking him to stay behind, he took his guard servants and fled towards the Xuanwu Gate again.

By the time Cui Yingying and Zhou Xiaohai arrived, Li Shimin had already fled away.

At the same time, after Chu Mo handed over the battlefield to Li Changlin, he took Lin Wan and her guards through the palaces and headed straight for the Xuanwu Gate.
