"Reporting to the military commander, 30,000 elite cavalries have been assembled!" An Cunxiao reported with his fist clasped in his hand.
"Reporting to the military commander, 20,000 infantry has been assembled!" Reported Han Sizhao with his fist clasped in his hand.
Li Keyong finally stopped his steps. Killing instinct had filled his eyes. He turned around and looked at everyone. "Today, Tongguan is likely to be breached by Li Ye. Now, as your commander, prepare for battle and get ready to leave anytime! An Cunxiao, you are going to help take Tongguan now!"
No matter what, he would not allow Li Ye to have all the credit for taking Tongguan.
Everyone was perplexed because the Pinglu soldiers had not had much success in taking Tongguan. So they wondered why Li Keyong said that Tongguan was going to be breached today. Many of the generals could not get it. But as they saw Li Keyong's expression, they dared not ask further questio
When under the roof of another, one must bow under the eaves. Li Ye had taken over Tongguan now, and might take over Hua Zhou soon, which meant owning the path to the capital city. The Yanmen Army was about to advance to the capital and fight with Huang Chao to earn merits. But Li Keyong might meet a few road blocks if Li Ye refused to open the road. After saying these words, Li Keyong felt awkward. He suddenly remembered that he consulted with Huiming to scheme against Li Ye before coming here. Now it seemed that he had been reckoned by Li Ye. Of course, this was not a feeling, but a fact. Li Keyong was clear that Li Ye had intentionally hidden his elite forces previously, creating the optics that it was very difficult for him to attack. He did so to make Li Keyong slack off. Today, he seized the moment and suddenly sent all the elites out to take Tongguan. Not even leaving Li Keyong the scraps. If that wasn't a calculated move Li Keyong didn't know what
Knowing nothing about state affairs, the maid quickly supported Huang Chao with her hand. Seeing Huang Chao totally lose it, she quickly played cute and flirted, intending to comfort him with her body while the iron was hot. As an ordinary maid, there were not many opportunities to make the emperor become enamored to her? This might be her only chance in a lifetime. The maid did not want to miss this opportunity to wealth and prosperity. Tongguan was breached and Hua Zhou was occupied by the enemy in one day, Huang Chao was feeling frightened as though the end of the world was near. It was hard to empathize if you weren't in that position. Huang Chao's throne was like sitting on a spiked rug. After the initial sensation, as the situation worsened as not a single day went by without fear. It was difficult to live alone in Chang'an and barely hold on to Guanzhong, much less trying to expand his territory. After Zhu Wen betrayed him, Huang Chao barely had a good night's s
Huang Chao looked around at everyone, his voice was like a great bell and his imposing manner was like iron. His words were like the sound of drums tapping on the hearts of every soldier, making the tens of thousands of soldiers on the drill ground feel the same as him. As he continued his speech, the soldiers' emotions became more intense. Gradually, everyone's eyes were ablaze and their hearts shared the bitter hatred for the enemy. Later, whenever Huang Chao finished a sentence, the soldiers would scream, beat their chest, hit their shields with their blades and hit the ground with their spears. It was like the big drill ground had been lit with a burning fire with enough. The energy and emotions seemed it could swallow the world. Huang Chao's emotions was steadily increasing, and every time the mountain and sunami like roars sounded, his momentum would grow even more. The two seemed to melt into one and benefit each other. He was already at the first
Li Keyong's expression was ghastly, seeing another monk in the same situation as Hui Neng, being stopped by others. It also meant that he couldn't make meritorious contributions in the short term. He was furious, so he rushed down to hillside and led his sect into the battlefield. Soon, all the masters of the Yanmen army appeared and hundreds of monks joined the fight. The two sides were so evenly-matched that it lasted until nightfall. After hearing about the battle of the Yanmen Army, Li Ye did not take action immediately. In the next ten days, both Shang Rang and Li Keyong's army continued to battle and each had their own share of victories. Thanks to the many cultivators and Juexiao Temple masters in the Yanmen army, they were not defeated at the hands of Shang Rang. On the contrary, Li Keyong's military talents gradually emerged. His capacity of dispatching and arranging troops was obviously more consummate t
Before he finished his words, the Spiritual Qi illuminated the dense lines on the sword blade. Luke Sword had belonged to the emperor formerly. So the pattern carved was the dragon's chant to the ninth heaven. Li Ye could not light all the lines when he used Luke Sword before, but now his cultivation had reached the half-step Foundation-building Stage, and the Dragon Qi had been half solidified, which meant he could just make the dragon shape. "You were born a peasant, and yet you call yourself the emperor. But you don't serve the people and the heavens and earth will not allow that! I will do the heavens' bidding and show you what respect looks like!" Li Ye floated in the air, and his sword was like a burning fire. He lifted his sword over his head and a ray of green light went straight through the sky. Suddenly, wind was blowing heavily and clouds were gathering in the sky. The Spiritual Qi in all directions gathered, forming a huge vortex
The army of the Qi Empire had finally been defeated by the Pinglu Army. Except for the few who died in the battle, the rest of them either fled or surrendered. But the battle continued for most of the day. After all, it was a battle comprising of hundreds of thousands of troops. During the follow-up time of the battle, Li Keyong dispatched the elite cavalry of the Yanmen Army to ride fast to Chang'an, from 50 kilometers away. After the Pinglu Army poured into Chang'an from all directions, the Yanmen cavalry followed them into Chang'an, without stopping for a second. In any case, the Yanmen Army had to share the credit of conquering Chang'an. If the Yanmen Army had not held off the main force of Huang Chao's troops, the Pinglu Army would not have a chance to drive straight in to Chang'an. The battle did not end. Even though Huang Chao's troops near Chang'an were defeated, some of Huang Chao's generals still controlled large plac
What came into view was a face that was exquisite beyond words. Any words of praise paled before this type of beauty. It was not only because of its allure, but also because it had a kind of indefinably ethereal, quiet quality. It was as beautiful as the clouds at sunset, and as gossamer as the white clouds in the skies. Seeing this face would give one a feeling of tranquility and peace. After taking off the veil, the Junior Priestess felt shy and blushed deeply. She glanced at Li Ye uneasily. Li Ye's mind was wandering, and obviously, he was dazzled by her beauty. Feeling overjoyed, she smiled slightly, and two charming dimples appeared. She was lovely and coquettish. Fortunately, she stopped smiling, so Li Ye's mind was brought back to the present. In his current state of mind, he was feeling exceedingly stunned, not only because the Junior Priestess was extraordinarily beautiful, but also because they had developed feelings for each other
Zhu Wen, Wang Jian, and Li Maozhen raised their cups, and drank together. Putting down his cup, Li Ye suddenly felt a bit strange. The world was full of coincidences. In the future, Zhu Wen would establish the Liang Empire in the Central Plains, Li Maozhen would become a feudal prince in Fengxiang, and Wang Jian would proclaim himself emperor in Sichuan. But now, they were all gathered together. With all their future achievements, the people here today, would be in charge of half of the country. If Li Keyong had turned up as well, then all the most famous heroes in the late Tang Empire, who rose in the process of the settlement of the Huang Chao Uprising, were all here. Of course, Li Keyong would not meet with Li Ye. He was now drinking alone, in the military camp. The camp was ablaze with lights. Li Keyong was not alone, as Monk Huiming was there, as well. However, Huiming did not drink wine, so Li Keyong felt even more depres
