Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

At this time, he had also realized that his top priority now should be to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Army of Beiya and the 16th Guards of Nanya outside the city into the city to suppress the rebellion. His main purpose was also to pursue Chu. Mo, take back your queen and prince.

As for Chang'an City, Li Shimin lamented that even if all the troops were allowed to enter the city for rescue, I'm afraid it would not have much effect in the end.

Rather than wasting manpower and material resources here, it would be better to arrest Chu Mo and Cui Yingying directly.

As long as he catches one of the two, then today's loss will definitely be repaid a hundred times.

Just when Li Shimin had just figured out the pros and cons and was about to gather his troops and move forward, a scout rushed over:

"Your Majesty, we have found a large group of people suspected of being from the Five Surnames and Qiwang moving towards Mingdemen. They have now arrived at Chongyefang and are expected to leave the city soon."

After hearing the scout's report, Li Shimin instantly became energetic:

"How many people are there?"

The scout hesitated for a moment, then finally said bravely:

"Your Majesty, there are approximately 6 to 5000 people on the other side. Most of them are women, children, old people and children. There are about [-] organic troops. There are also some servants and strong men, all holding weapons. It is difficult to judge the number."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard that there were so many people on the other side, and then looked at the army behind him.

Previously, because he was worried about the secret guards of the people in the city, he allocated part of his troops for rescue. Now he only has 4000 to [-] troops at his disposal.

However, remembering that the other party has a family and a family, there are many bonds in the team. If they were to face each other, they would not be without the ability to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately ordered:

"Preach my decree, gather the scattered soldiers, and march the whole army. I will meet these rebels from the five surnames and Qi Wang and ask them why they rebelled against me."

However, when he finished speaking, he saw that the scout kneeling in front of him didn't move at all, and was still kneeling on the spot.

"Why, maybe you have something else to report?"

The scout raised his head with an ugly expression and said to Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, the other party brought a large number of old, weak, women and children. They did not take them to escape. In fact, they placed them at the end of the team to act as obstacles and slow down our army's pursuit."

"Your Majesty, please come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

After hearing the scout's words, Li Shimin and the soldiers around him all changed their expressions.

Before, they thought that the people of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were reluctant to leave their own people, and would rather bring a large number of old, weak, women and children with them to slow down their pace than abandon them.

For this, I admired and laughed at them from the bottom of my heart.

But now it seems that the situation is not what I thought. The other party obviously has ulterior motives for doing this.

And it is still open to question whether the old, weak, women and children accompanying them are members of the Cui family.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately looked at Li Shimin, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's judgment.

At this time, Li Shimin had already figured out Wu Xing Qi Wang's trick, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

After thinking for a while, he said directly to the scout in front of him:

"You lead a group of people and shout along the way to tell the people who are coerced by the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes to leave their team quickly. Otherwise, when our troops attack, they will be treated as traitors and killed together."

After the scout heard this, he immediately bowed and left.

At the same time, the 16th Army of Beiya and the [-]th Guards of Nanya, who had received the order, had also arrived one after another and entered the city from each city gate to quell the rebellion.

The Mingde Gate where Chu Mo was located also ushered in a forbidden army at this time.

The reason why he was not in a hurry to escape and stayed at Mingdemen was waiting for this support force.

At this time, Mingdemen only experienced a brief moment of confusion when it was taken in by Lin Wan, and then quickly returned to calm.

When Chu Mo and his party arrived, they immediately ordered to restore everything.

When Zhang Taixin was ordered to lead a group of forbidden troops to Mingdemen, preparing to enter the city to quell the rebellion, nothing unusual was found.

Although there are some doubts in my heart, Chang'an City is in chaos now, why is Mingdemen immune to it and no turmoil occurs?

But seeing familiar faces all up and down the city gate, Zhang Taixin didn't think too much.

Maybe those rebels did not break out through Mingde Gate, but maybe chose other gates.

According to the rules, Zhang Taixinliang handed over the tiger talisman and the troop deployment order, and after letting the soldiers guarding the city check them, he hurriedly let his soldiers enter the city.

I had followed His Majesty's order to enter the city to quell the rebellion. If I were to delay a moment longer or stay here for a moment longer, my achievements would probably be reduced and be snatched away by the rest of the reinforcements.

He was focused on climbing up and rushed into the city to attack. He didn't notice at all that there were countless new faces around him, and in a corner, there was a pair of familiar eyes looking at him up and down.

After repeated tests, just when Zhang Taixin's patience was about to run out and he was about to get angry, the guard guard handed the order back to Zhang Taixin with a flattering look:

"My lord, everything is correct. Please keep it safe."

Zhang Taixin took the order impatiently, and then asked with a bored look:

"What's the situation in the city now? Where are the rebels located?"

The soldier looked around, then sneaked up to Zhang Taixin's ear and said:

"Sir, I just heard from a passing Qianniu Guard that the rebels have already invaded the Suzaku Gate and are now attacking the Chengtian Gate with all their strength. I guess... I guess they won't be able to hold on there for long."

After the words fell, the soldier felt his chest tighten. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Taixin's big hand clutching his collar, staring at him angrily:

"You dare to talk nonsense and deceive me. Do you believe that I will kill you on the spot?"

The soldier's expression changed greatly after hearing this:

"Sir, I am not making this up. I heard it from the Qianniu Guard. They have all rushed to the imperial city, King Qin. I just wanted to remind the general out of kindness."

Hearing what the soldier said, Zhang Taixin was stunned for a moment, and then he let go of the soldier's collar with an ugly expression.

At this moment, a whisper came from somewhere:

"Is this person mentally ill? His Majesty is trapped. He doesn't want to rush into the palace to rescue him, but he is still here delaying time. Is this because he is not afraid of losing his head, or does he feel that his contribution to the rescue is meager and unnecessary?"

Although the voice was very low, it still reached Zhang Taixin's ears without missing a word.

With an ugly expression, he searched the crowd and found no one gossiping behind his back.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that the other party was right. The top priority was to enter the palace to rescue him, so why was he wasting his time here?
