Chapter 11 Modeling Player: Is Remote Overtime a Big Loss?
After Cui Ganyou followed the son-in-law Zhang Yi into Chang'an City, there was suddenly a "bang" and the gate of Chang'an behind him was closed.
As a general who was able to defeat Geshu Han at Tongguan, Cui Ganyou immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged to the side.
With a "swish" sound, a sharp feather arrow pierced the place where he was originally.
"It's a trap! Defend yourself!"
However, it was too late. The soldiers nearby had no time to react before a barrage of arrows began to fall. Screams rang out everywhere.
By the time the rebels finally blocked the rain of arrows with their shields, a river of blood had already flowed beneath the walls of Chang'an.
At this time, Li Shimin emerged from the ambush on horseback, his leisurely attitude as if he was walking a dog:
"Thank you for your help, Prince Consort. I will definitely ask my father to reward you greatly."
After saying this, Zhang Yi's face suddenly turned pale. Cui Ganyou, who was standing next to him, turned black in the face and angrily pulled Zhang Yi up:
"How dare you trick us into surrendering?
You're looking for death!"
"No, no, I didn't. The general believed me. It was him, ah—"
Before he could finish his words, Cui Ganyou had already stabbed Zhang Yi with a knife, and Zhang Yi screamed in pain instantly.
"Prince, please save me! I, I am your uncle!"
[Ugh, now you think that you married the princess and we are a family?
Why didn't he think about his wife and the people of Chang'an when he opened the city gate?
In response to this, Li Shimin naturally snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at it, and continued to shoot at Cui Ganyou with his bow and arrow.
Cui Ganyou originally wanted to give Zhang Yi another blow, but seeing the rain of arrows coming from the other side, he had to retreat out of the city under the cover of the rebels.
Fortunately, he left 3,000 soldiers outside the city as external aid. When they received the signal from inside the city, both sides attacked the city gate at the same time in an attempt to break out.
However, Li Shimin had already ambushed a large number of defenders and bad guys in the city.
As the city management officers of the Tang Dynasty, the Bad People were all very familiar with the topography of the streets in Chang'an City. They quickly blocked the rebels in the streets and alleys of the market town, and used the advantage of the terrain to defeat them one by one with a small number of troops, and still dealt with it easily.
Outside the city, Li Shimin ambushed heavily armored cavalry at the south gate. At this time, under the leadership of Cheng Qianli, they rushed towards the rebels and killed the rebels. In an instant, they surrounded the people outside the city like dumplings.
The rebels inside and outside the city were attacked from both sides. However, even if they lit the rocket signal, it was too late for An Qingxu in the distance to send reinforcements.
In less than half an hour, more than half of the rebels inside and outside the city had been killed. Li Shimin seized the opportunity and shot an arrow into Cui Ganyou's throat. Then he immediately shouted:
"Cui Ganyou is dead, the enemy is doomed. Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will not be killed!"
Soon, these nearly 5,000 elite enemy troops were either killed or captured.
The rebels who came to support saw that the situation was not good and the other side had won a great victory, so they withdrew immediately without further hesitation.
The battle was a great victory. At the same time, Li Shimin also discovered that one of the bad guys was extremely brave. He killed dozens of enemies alone when he was trapped in an alley.
It can be said that he kills one person every ten steps and leaves no trace in a thousand miles.
Therefore, Li Shimin specially ordered someone to call this person over:
"The warrior bravely killed the enemy, showing the spirit of a hero. Are you affiliated with the Bad People?"
The Bad People were a special group in the Tang Dynasty who were responsible for maintaining urban security and catching bandits. They were retired soldiers, former bandits, or chivalrous men of the world, all of whom were below the ninth rank and belonged to the lower rank of officials.
But Li Shimin saw that this man had a righteous look in his eyes, and his behavior did not seem like that of a low-level gangster. Sure enough, this man clasped his hands together, bowed, and said:
"My name is Zhang Xiaojing. I'm not affiliated with the Outlaws. I used to be an officer in the Imperial Guards."
At this moment, Cheng Qianli slapped his head, and then suddenly realized:
"Zhang Xiaojing! I remember you!
"I heard earlier that you were the first to kill Yang Guozhong and his son at Mawei Slope? Why did you not join the Imperial Guards and return to Chang'an afterwards?"
Zhang Xiaojing remained silent in response to Cheng Qianli's subsequent questions.
At Mawei Slope, he, with his anger and courage, led the way in besieging and killing the traitor Yang Guozhong. But what happened next?
He was just an unknown person, neither from a noble family nor a descendant of a powerful family. He was also the leader who killed Yang Guozhong, and was even more feared by others.
I ask you, which emperor in the world would dare to employ such a rebellious "thorn" as him?
Xuanzong hurriedly traveled westward into Shu, obviously forgetting state affairs and the people and only caring about escaping.
However, the newly enthroned sage did not dare to return to Chang'an to defend the capital, which made him realize that this man was not a courageous monarch.
Everywhere he looked was war, but he was at a loss as to where to go.
At this moment, he heard the news of a great victory from Prince Jianning in Chang'an, so he immediately resigned from his post in the imperial guards and returned to Chang'an.
For him, killing Yang Guozhong would mean an insurmountable dead end in his official career, so he thought about joining the Outlaws.
"But now, the bad commander is afraid that the rebels will infiltrate the army. I am still in the probation period and have not yet started the job."
[Oh, I don't understand. It turns out this is during the internship period for urban management! ]
[Zhang Xiaojing? I think I've seen him in a TV series before.]
You know what, his big head looks quite similar to the one in the drama.]
[You mean the prototype character looks like the actor? It would be the opposite of Tian Gang, hahaha.]
"He's a brave man. It's a shame these days that people at the bottom of society have little chance of rising above the crowd."
Not only Tianmu made this analysis, Zhang Xiaojing also thought so. Until Li Shimin patted his shoulder, smiled gently and said to him:
"It's a waste of talent for a man with such ability and passion to be just a bad guy. Why don't you serve as a vanguard under my command, kill the enemy, and become a general?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojing looked up suddenly, and the blood in his heart seemed to boil in an instant:
"I am willing to serve the prince and the Tang Dynasty until death!"
Perhaps only Du Fu could understand Zhang Xiaojing's mood at this time.
It was already early morning when Du Fu learned about it. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved, so he wrote a letter to Li Bai.
I don’t know what Brother Taibai is doing at this moment?
Back then, they were both still young. Brother Taibai could write poetry and wield a sword, but they hadn't seen each other since they parted ways on their trip to Yueshan.
Brother Taibai left Chang'an to practice asceticism in a Taoist temple. When he heard that the rebel An Lushan was attacking Chang'an, he must have been unable to sit still, right?
The prince is now open-minded and generous in employing people, much like Emperor Taizong of the past. I think Brother Taibai will finally get what he wanted.
Chang'an was under siege, so Du Fu's letter was certainly not easy to send. However, in Chang'an, the news that Li Shimin had won another great victory and beheaded the enemy general had spread throughout Chang'an by early morning.
Even the news that the son-in-law Zhang Yi was collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country spread.
It happened that Zhang Yi was lucky enough that he survived the stabbing and howled all night long.
Li Shimin ordered his men to tie him up and take him to Caishikou, preparing to execute him in public as a warning to others.
"I, I am also a royal family member, the son of the former prime minister! Prince, you can't just kill me like this!
How are you going to explain to the princess and His Majesty that you killed me on your own initiative?"
"When you defected to the enemy and betrayed your country, did you ever think of giving me an explanation?"
At this time, before Li Shimin could speak, two princess carriages stopped, one in front and one behind. It was Zhang Yi's wife who came -
Li Longji's daughter Princess Ningqin, and Li Longji's sister Princess Huoguo.
As a princess of the Li Tang royal family, her husband's surrender to the enemy was tantamount to a complete betrayal of herself and the Li Tang royal family.
Princess Ning Qin stepped forward with her skirt lifted, threw the divorce agreement in front of Zhang Yi, and said in a cold voice:
"The moment you betrayed me, betrayed Chang'an, and betrayed the Tang Dynasty, all ties between you and me were severed!
As a Tang princess, I wish I could kill you with my own hands!"
However, Princess Huo did not let Princess Ning kill her husband in public. Instead, she stepped forward and drew Li Shimin's sword:
"Why should the Prince of Jianning be bothered to take action against such a villain?
If others can't touch you, then I, the eldest princess, will chop off your head!"
Princess Huo, who normally never even killed a chicken herself, chopped off Zhang Yi's head with a fierce sword, shocking the people and children of noble families who were watching and cheering.
After all, the one who did it in public was a noble lady, and the eldest princess of the royal family.
At this time, Princess Huo was covered in blood, but she felt angry and happy in her heart.
As Li Longji's biological sister, how angry and anxious must she have felt when Li Longji quietly left Chang'an and abandoned her?
She immediately summoned her children and grandchildren to hide in her house, hoping every day that Li Heng would quickly send troops to lift the siege of Chang'an.
But last night, she suddenly dreamed that Chang'an City was broken, and she and her relatives and children were all tied up like pigs and dogs by the rebels, and were humiliated and tortured in every way.
As the eldest princess of the royal family with the highest status in Chang'an, she was beaten to death with an iron hammer by An Lushan's order.
The piercing pain of the hammer hitting her head and chest, the hatred of having no dignity when being humiliated, and the resentment towards Li Longji and Li Heng, all woke her up in an instant.
However, the feelings in the dream were so real and vivid, so unforgettable that she could never sleep peacefully again.
That's why she appears here.
Now, the Li Tang royal family must not retreat anymore!
Princess Huo turned around and nodded to Li Shimin:
"Your Highness, you still have many things to worry about. I will explain this matter to His Majesty.
In addition, I have already mobilized all the soldiers and spare food, horses, and weapons in the palace. I will also persuade the remaining members of the royal family to donate all their food and fodder for the prince to use at his disposal."
"Thank you, great-aunt."
Princess Huo returned the sword to Li Shimin. It was not until she approached Li Shimin that she suddenly realized that she had never looked at this nephew carefully.
Only today did she realize that Li Shimin's demeanor was much better than that of the two current emperors.
It was a kind of calmness and dignity that she had never seen in Li Longji, Li Heng and Li Yu.
Perhaps it won’t be long before the situation in Chang’an City changes.
Princess Huo suddenly smiled, and a sense of pleasure for Li Heng and Li Longji surged in her heart.
She reached out and patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, and whispered to him as she passed by:
"Perhaps only when the Tang Dynasty is in your hands can I, your great aunt, feel at ease."
"What language is that, my great-aunt? I don't quite understand."
This young nephew and she are pretending to be ignorant even though they know the truth.
Seeing that Li Shimin was calm and not at all frightened by her, Princess Huo said nothing more. She looked at him meaningfully and then left with her niece.
What does this mean? Why did the ancients always use riddles for no reason? How annoying!
Does this mean that this princess will be a supporter of my Majesty in the future?]
[Hahaha, it all depends on my modeler! The cat looks proud!]
I worked overtime all night to build a super realistic restored dream!
I tortured a lot of people last night, hahaha]
[This effect is truly amazing! Give me a chicken drumstick! Now all the powerful people in Chang'an City should be frightened to their knees by our Er Feng.]
Indeed, with Princess Huo in front of him, Li Shimin felt a lot more relaxed.
Soon, these royal family members and noble families expressed their support and took out all their family expenses to alleviate the urgent problem of insufficient food and fodder.
"This is enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive."
Li Shimin wanted to thank him, but found that he didn't know the name of the player this time. He touched his nose and said:
"Thank you...Brother Model?"
[Players who have never even been to ancient times and completed tasks in modern times have no names!
hhh this is too miserable! 】
【!!! I have a name, boss!
Ahhh, remote gaming is so frustrating. It's like I've been working overtime all night after a 996 schedule, and I don't have any gaming experience at all! I feel wronged! So angry!
But thankfully I helped His Majesty. Remember to pick me next time. I’m the top pick, hehe.]
Good news came one after another, and soon Li Heng sent Guo Ziyi to lead 30,000 Shuofang troops to support Tongguan.
Now he finally had his hands free to launch a counterattack. Li Shimin was just breathing a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt a pang in his heart when he saw the sky curtain.
[Good news: Your Excellency Li Shimin, you will be crowned king again!
The bad news
Master Shimin, you will be crowned the King of Qi. Your brother, Li Yuanji, the King of Qi, is the King of Qi!
[Hahaha, even though I went from being the King of Qin to the King of Qi, at least I got a promotion and a raise. Are you surprised? Are you happy? Your Majesty, can you please smile?]
