This is the last spirit of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the remaining 200 people, they were the families of some famous generals of Liaodong. Since the Su, Qin, and Luo families had all defected to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Li Shouxi naturally would not abandon their families.
There were also 5,000 elite soldiers from the 16th Guards and 3,000 black-armored cavalry escorting them.
These are people who have no worries in Guanzhong, do not worry about being restrained by others, and are loyal.
Or maybe some children of prominent families sneaked in to escape the disaster.
07 They looked like glamorous ceremonial guards, but in fact they were the last barrier left by the royal family for the old, weak, women and children, so that they would not be completely controlled by Li Shouxi after arriving in Liaodong.
At least they have their own power to protect themselves!
The last three thousand black-armored cavalry were the gift Tanghuang left for Li Shouxi.
Because only Li Shouxi can control the Black Armored Cavalry.
"They will come. Your eldest brother's people will be here in two days at the earliest!"
Looking at the Seventeenth Prince, Concubine Shang's tone was surprisingly gentle.
Although they are both princes of the royal family, they also have family ties.
It is only when they reach a certain age and start fighting for power that they gradually lose their family affection. If they still care about family affection at that time, they will surely die.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Shang handed the child to Princess Taiping who was standing beside her.
As the princess with the most power in the empire, Princess Taiping was ranked alongside the Princess Xincheng as one of the two most powerful princesses in the world. This time, Princess Taiping had to be included in the list of royal family members.
After all, Princess Taiping was still a female relative, and the emperor was in favor of her.
"Don't worry, Brother Seventeen. Big Brother will come."
Princess Taiping looked at the little prince and knew that he had frightened many of his brothers and sisters in recent times. She still talked about family affection with Li Shouxi and was willing to bring the royal family to Liaodong.
Compared with the imperial court which was surrounded by enemies on all sides, Liaodong was undoubtedly the safest place.
In addition, what Princess Taiping feared most was that Li Shouxi might be the mastermind behind all this and deliberately led all this.
When she went to Liaodong, she also wanted to find out whether Li Shouxi was pretending to be sick.
The next day, the commander of Tongguan brought news of the cavalry from Prince Yan's palace.
Cao Shaoqing! Black Armored Cavalry!
The bad guys in Tongguan confirmed his identity and let him go directly. After all, Cao Shaoqing was Li Shouxi's absolute confidant and a famous swordsman in Kyushu.
Besides, the Black Armored Cavalry is also a specialty of the Tang Dynasty. How could those garrison commanders and the bad guys not know them?
The most important thing is that the terrifying aura of these people cannot be simulated by ordinary troops or bandits.
"Mr. Cao pays his respects to the Concubine Shang!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shang!"
Compared with the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shang is undoubtedly more recognizable.
Gazing at Cao Shaoqing, the two Vajra warriors, and the three hundred black-armored cavalrymen who were kneeling on one knee in front of her, Princess Shang was filled with joy.
I'm afraid even the Queen doesn't get this kind of treatment.
After all, the Black Armored Cavalry is the empire's most elite top-level cavalry. Except for the emperor and Li Shouxi, no one else has the right to mobilize them.
Cao Shaoqing and the two Vajras are top-level masters. Even when they meet vassal kings and the like, they only need to bow.
What’s more, it’s such a great gift.
"Shaoqing, please stand up quickly, you are a ninth-rank royal family member.
Two masters, please stand up quickly, this is not polite."
"Thank you, empress!"
Everyone stood up respectfully. At the same time, Cao Shaoqin looked at everyone and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Cao Shaoqing, the chief eunuch of the Prince of Yan's Palace, greets all the princes and princesses!"
"No need to be so polite, Manager Cao."
Seeing Cao Shaoqing just bowing, Princess Taiping, as the representative of the crowd, was not at all surprised.
Concubine Shang is Li Shouxi's mother, and Cao Shaoqing's gift is a sign of respect for his old master.
Although they share the same bloodline with Li Shouxi, their relationship is much more distant, and even to a certain extent not as close as those merchants' cousins. At least they supported Li Shouxi in the early stage,
"Your Highness, Shao Qing is here on the orders of the prince to welcome you and others to Liaodong.
However, something went wrong. We need to wait three days for the prince's order before we can set off. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
"It's okay. Since Xi'er has other plans, we can just wait here for three days."
Princess Shang didn't care too much about it, it was only three days.
And since Cao Shaoqing said there was a change, it must be no small matter.
You must know that this time Li Shouxi dispatched a terrifying camp of 370-grade, 180-grade, and five 9th-grade masters. Naturally, he would not easily change his mind at the last minute.
"Butler Cao, Taiping, can you ask what happened?"
“Hello, Princess. We met Zhao Bing disguised as a bandit named Tengjia on the road.
I am worried that Li Keyong will make a desperate attempt to encircle us in the Central Plains, and I will be unable to protect the safety of the royal family, so I sent a letter to the prince by hawk. "
Zhao Bing disguised as a Tengjia bandit?
Princess Taiping heard this and immediately realized that if they wanted to leave, they would have to pass through Li Keyong’s territory.
Before, she thought that Li Shouxi and Li Keyong had reached a consensus, but it seemed that Li Keyong no longer recognized his former master.
But think about it, Li Keyong was the King of Zhao at that time, and he controlled the Central Plains and Southern Wu, so he didn't need to give face to Li Shouxi at all.
For a moment, Princess Taiping looked at Cao Shaoqing worriedly.
Can his elder brother really deal with King Zhao?
"Shaoqing, since the Zhao soldiers surrounded you on the road, you are not injured, right?"
“Don’t worry, madam, they are just some soldiers in rattan armor.
This time, the prince sent us here with martial arts masters above the seventh rank, and they are also protected by secret guards. They are fully equipped, so even if there are 100,000 soldiers, we can kill them all!"
fizz
Hearing Cao Shaoqing's confidence, even Princess Taiping couldn't help but gasp.
All of these black-armored cavalrymen are masters of the seventh rank in martial arts, or even above the seventh rank.
Although a normal squad leader of the Black Armored Cavalry must be at the seventh rank in martial arts, but in actual practice, among the tens of thousands of Black Armored Cavalry in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only more than 500 seventh rank masters.
Li Shouxi sent all three thousand elite squad leaders of the Black Armored Iron Cavalry.
What's more, there are those secret guards called Laozi?
Their martial arts skills are probably no less than the seventh rank. Together, these masters are comparable to the super elite army of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Chapter 328: The First Battle between Yan and Zhao
"With so many experts, wouldn't the guards around Xi'er be lax?"
Princess Shang was also shocked when she heard about the lineup this time.
She only knew that Li Shouxi had sent three hundred elite cavalrymen and several ninth-rank masters this time, but she didn't expect so many masters to come.
"Don't worry, madam. The prince is accompanied by Taoist Li Chunfeng, Miss Mei Jian, the three Fu sisters, the black armored cavalry, the palace guards, and at least ten ninth-rank masters. There won't be any problems in the short term."
Ten ninth-grade masters as guards?
Not to mention Concubine Shang, even Princess Taiping couldn't believe it.
This is a ninth-grade master, not a common cabbage.
Even in a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty, a ninth-rank master, although not of prominent status, was of an extraordinary status and was considered a guest official.
"This is real?"
"If it weren't for the prince's safety, how could Shao Qing dare to leave the Prince of Yan's Mansion, let alone stay outside casually."
fizz
Only after hearing Cao Shaoqing's comfort did Princess Shang breathe a sigh of relief.
This is the real Prince Yan’s Palace.
Moreover, the strength of the Prince of Yan's Mansion also shocked everyone. No one expected that in such a short period of time, the strength of the Prince of Yan's Mansion had increased to such a terrifying level.
At the same time, Luo Cheng, Xiong Kuohai and Xia Luqi, who were stationed in Anyang, Huaibei and Huainan, also received the tiger talisman ordered by Li Shouxi to attack.
Although there were only 50,000 elite Liaodong soldiers along the way, they were definitely not on the same level as the army Li Keyong had just assembled.
Moreover, the difference in logistical levels was clear to Li Keyong, who personally led the Liaodong soldiers to suppress the rebellion.
In the face of absolute power, numbers are just numbers.
Sure enough, the three armies had just clashed.
Even though Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army faced Luo Cheng's Liaodong Cavalry, the newly replenished Flying Tiger Battalion was almost wiped out.
The long snake formation with iron chains across the river, under Luo Cheng's command, completely covered the Flying Tiger Army that rushed in like a spear. Even though Li Cunxiao had peerless martial arts and was familiar with battle formations, this military formation that had been tempered for thousands of years was simple and effective. There was no special way to break it, and it wrapped the Flying Tiger Army like a pocket.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh
The Liaodong soldiers were skilled in archery and horsemanship. At the moment the two sides met, although the Flying Tiger Army's invulnerable armor could not penetrate their defense, it could not withstand the impact of the powerful bows at a short distance, and they were shot off their horses one after another.
Even if they didn't die, they would be trampled into bloody mud by the cavalry behind them.
I come!
On the front battlefield, facing Li Cunxiao's strategy of killing generals, Luo Cheng and Wu Tianci beside him took the initiative.
Wu Tianci held the spear in both hands and went straight towards Li Cunxiao who wanted to kill him with one spear.
when!
The two men's weapons weighing hundreds of pounds clashed in the air. The loud noise of metal colliding and the vibration in the air almost damaged the eardrums of the soldiers on the entire battlefield.
Wu Tianci's body trembled violently, and his two drills almost slipped out of his hands.
This terrifying force made them look at Li Cunxiao in horror. They didn't expect that Li Cunxiao, whom Li Shouxi wanted them to be wary of, had such terrifying martial arts power.
When Luo Cheng saw this, a cold light flashed from the spear in his hand and he went straight for Li Cunxiao's throat!
Before Luo Cheng set out to fight, he was told that Li Cunxiao was no match for him.
Even if he and Wu Tianci were as brave as ten thousand men, they could not last ten moves against Li Cunxiao. Therefore, the two fought for only three moves, and Wu Tianci, who had recovered, attacked again, and cooperated with Luo Cheng to attack Li Cunxiao.
The terrifying force just now made the two men dare not be careless towards Li Cunxiao.
Luo Cheng was even more shocked.
Because Li Cunxiao was not invincible. When he was stationed at Niangzi Pass, he heard that the two top generals in Jin, Yuwen Chengdu and Li Cunxiao, often competed with each other and were equally matched, both of them were top generals!
And above these two, there is another one—King Yan of Longmen!
If Li Cunxiao is so powerful, then Yuwen Chengdu must be as well.
At least not much worse than Li Cunxiao.
"General Li, if you keep fighting like this, your Flying Tiger Army will be gone!"
what?
Li Cunxiao was shocked when he heard this.
Turning around, they saw that the Flying Tiger Army was surrounded by the Liaodong soldiers and their survival was in a moment.
So Li Cunxiao no longer insisted, swung his weapon with great force, pushed the two men away, turned around and fled.
Wu Tianci looked at Luo Cheng in confusion.
Although they could not defeat Li Cunxiao with their strength, they could still wear him down.
“Three surrounded but one missing!
What's more, the prince's original intention was not to break off relations with the Zhao Palace directly, and someone would deal with Li Cunxiao in the future."
Wu Tianci was puzzled, but seeing Luo Cheng said so, he didn't continue to worry about it.
