Five hundred and eighteenth chapter upright(1/2)
With absolute strength in hand, I don’t want to use strategies to overcome the crisis.
Gu Qing now holds absolute strength in his hand, so he chooses to come upright and rescue Concubine Yang and leave swaying.
The 20,000 imperial guards were surrounded by him, which was not worth mentioning in Gu Qing's eyes. He had personally commanded several major battles and was very clear about the huge gap between the imperial guards and the rebels.
At the beginning of the battle between Hangu Pass, 3,000 people from Modao Camp guarded the pass, and 50,000 elite rebels attacked one after another for more than two hours, but they were unable to get one step closer to Hangu Pass. Modao Camp is the real elite of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the confidence that Gu Qing now appears in the emperor's camp with his domineering spirit, and his words and actions implicitly thunderous momentum.
More than a thousand wands were waving the formation, and Gu Qing was sure to lead Yang Guifei to an uninhabited state surrounded by 20,000 imperial guards.
Outside the post station, Li Siye received Gu Qing's military order and immediately shouted: "Modao Camp, come in!"
The Modao camp of more than a thousand people formed a circular formation. The side-winged general waved the flag in his hand fiercely. More than a thousand Modao immediately waved it. The snow-white blade emitted a cold light under the reflection of the torch, like the rippling waves of the sea, and the silent murderous intent was hidden under the waves.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army were incited by those who were interested and surrounded the Modao camp. However, after Modao was swung, none of the 20,000 Imperial Army dared to break the formation first.
Everyone knew very well that whoever rushed into this killing formation would be the first flag sacrificer to be broken. Even the complete corpse would not be left behind, and they would be thorned into thousands of pieces by the Mo Dao in an instant.
The Modao Camp, which had more than 1,000 people, did not dare to move. The imperial guards in the front row retreated. The imperial guards behind them shouted and cursed from a distance. The open space outside the post station repeated the scene outside Hangu Pass again. The Modao Camp was stably stuck in the land like a rock, and was still unmoved by the storm.
In the post station, Gu Qing was still standing in front of Li Longji and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, you should use thunderous means at an extraordinary time. Do not give in to the mutiny of the imperial guards. I am willing to calm down the mutiny for Your Majesty and ensure peace for Your Majesty."
Li Longji opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
At this time, Gu Qing exuded aura more sharp than the emperor. Before he knew it, the young minister had dominated everything inside and outside the post station, and even the emperor could not object to his decision.
The mutiny of the imperial guards outside the post station came into the front hall, but Gu Qing seemed to have no idea. He had absolute confidence in his Modao Camp. As long as the Modao waved, everyone could break through the Modao Camp's array.
Gu Qing looked at Li Longji calmly and said softly: "Your Majesty should know that the Imperial Concubine should not be with you anymore. I will take the Imperial Concubine away and will properly place her and serve her with the Imperial Concubine. When the rebellion is pacified and your Majesty returns to the capital, I will send the Imperial Concubine back to Your Majesty."
Li Longji sighed sadly. He knew more than anyone how he performed in front of Yang Guifei. After tonight, even if Yang Guifei returns to her side, she may no longer be in love with her husband and wife.
If Gu Qing had come half an hour earlier, perhaps... Li Longji was still her beloved husband, but in the end, God would do anything. After he made the most cruel and heartbreaking choice, Gu Qing rushed over and everything was irreversible.
Yang Guifei stood beside Gu Qing and stared at Li Longji quietly. There was no love and hate in her beautiful eyes, and there was no tears, only a calm like a lake of death.
After bowing to Li Longji Yingying, Yang Guifei said softly: "Your Majesty, I have many inconveniences in the camp. I don't want Your Majesty to make things difficult for you, so I will go with Gu Qing."
"Madam..." Li Longji choked and called softly.
Concubine Yang lowered her head and did not touch his eyes.
Li Longji sighed sadly: "Forget it, it's a couple, I'd better take care of myself."
Yang Guifei's delicate body trembled slightly, and her heart felt endless sorrow.
When a husband and wife live together in the same forest, the so-called love really cannot stand scrutiny.
Gu Qing also bowed to Li Longji on one knee and said, "My dear Gu Qing, please farewell to Your Majesty."
Li Longji looked at him with a complicated expression. Gu Qing tonight was different from usual, and he saw ambition in Gu Qing's eyes.
Since tonight, there has been one more person in the world who fear him. Compared to the couple's farewell, Li Longji cares more about Gu Qing's strength.
The young man is already full of wings and has the capital to admire the world. When he was promoted to the unnamed boy from the countryside of Shuzhou, how could he ever think of today?
Raising a tiger is a disaster, with An Lushan in front and Gu Qing in the back.
Jiangshan was indeed ruined by him.
"It's better to abdicate." This thought suddenly appeared in Li Longji's mind.
As the situation became more and more critical and complicated, the discouraged Li Longji finally wanted to give up everything.
It’s not bad to be the emperor. He still has the emperor’s ceremonial guards and treatment, but he doesn’t have to bear the emperor’s responsibilities.
"Gu Qing, go," Li Longji paused and said, "...I'm so happy to take care of the Imperial Concubine."
Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Li Longji looked up at the soldiers waving Modao outside the gate of the post station, and said moved: "Are those famous Modao camps?"
"Yes, there were three thousand people. In the battle of Hangu Pass, the three thousand Modao Camp blocked 50,000 rebels, but nearly half of the Modao Camp was killed, and now there are only more than one thousand people left."
A look of envy flashed in Li Longji's eyes and murmured: "It's worthy of being a tiger and wolf army. No wonder he is famous all over the world, and it is no less than the Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry of Emperor Taizong back then, but it can compete for the length of the sun and the moon."
If the elite army stays by my side now, why worry about the mutiny of the imperial guards? However, Li Longji knew that this army was loyal to the emperor, but Gu Qing.
After farewell, Gu Qing ordered Han Jie and other personal guards to surround Yang Guifei and protect her in the middle, and slowly walked towards the gate of the station.
Outside the post station, the imperial guards could no longer hold back and began to move.
Li Siye stood in front of the array with a cold face, and glanced at the imperial guards who wanted to rush but didn't dare to rush forward.
Behind the mutiny of the imperial guards, several generals were still trying hard to incite the soldiers to break through the Modao Formation and kill Yang Guifei.
When the guards surrounded Gu Qing and Yang Guifei, the soldiers of the imperial guards became more and more restless. Especially when they saw the bright and charming Yang Guifei still being closely protected by Gu Qing's personal guards, the soldiers of the imperial guards were even more dissatisfied.
"Kill Yang Yuhuan!"
"If the demon concubine is not eliminated, the country will not be protected!"
"If you are confused and misleading the country, you deserve to die!"
Seeing the crowd's affection again, the generals of the imperial guards became angry and hurriedly added fuel to the fire and shouted: "If Yang Yuhuan does not die, the country in the Tang Dynasty will be difficult to protect, and it will be difficult for us to return to Guanzhong to reunite with our parents, wife and children!"
The crowd became more and more angry, and the overwhelming insults echoed in the night sky.
Concubine Yang paused, her body trembled, tears in her eyes slid down again, and she said sadly: "I...I am not a demon concubine, I have never interfered in the government affairs..."
Gu Qing held her cold hand, allowing her to feel a trace of warmth in the eyes of thousands of people.
"The Imperial Concubine, it's not your fault. People in the world are ignorant, so why should the wise argue?"
After being stolen by the generals, the imperial guards who were not afraid of death finally started to charge towards the formation. They formed a small formation with dozens of people, used spears and halberds as weapons, and launched a charge towards the Modao formation.
Gu Qing and Yang Guifei stood in the Modao Formation. In front were countless enemies, behind were the nervous and alert Yulin Guards, and the courtiers who were in panic in the post station to observe the movements.
Gu Qing smiled coldly and said loudly: "Li Siye!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Then the Modao Camp advances, and anyone who has obstacles will be killed without any hindrance!"
"yes!"
Li Siye stood in front of the array, and the special Mo Dao with more than 40 kilograms in his hand also waved the order flag. The soldiers of the Mo Dao Camp kept waving Mo Dao, taking neat steps and shouting loudly.
"kill--!"
A simple word contains endless murderous intent, the world is low, the wind and clouds change color, and birds are frightened.
Yang Guifei stood beside Gu Qing and followed Gu Qing's footsteps very slowly. The word "kill" in the Modao Camp said. Yang Guifei knew that these soldiers were here to protect her, but she was still scared to death. Her face was pale and she couldn't help but hold Gu Qing's sleeve tightly.
At the same time, a small number of imperial guards who were not afraid of death also began to attack.
A temporary cone formation of about thirty people in front of him roared together, then took a step, held a spear and halberd in his hand and rushed towards the Modao soldiers in the first row.
The sword lights were intertwined in the airtight Modao Formation, and there was no room for dodging. As soon as this small imperial guard formation rushed in, it was about to break the Modao Formation. In the blink of an eye, it was slashed countless knives by the Modao Formation. After a few screams, this small formation of about thirty people was instantly cut into countless corpses by the Modao, and piles of flesh and blood flowed on the ground, and some of the internal organs were still squirming vividly.
The instantaneous tragic situation scared the imperial guards' faces like earth. They were used to eating Taiping Food, but they had never seen a tragic scene like the Shura Field. Some of the hereditary imperial guards who were born delicate even bent down and vomited.
Li Siye laughed and said, "A group of miscellaneous abilities, do you think the name of Anxi Iron Army was picked up for free?"
"Modao Camp, come in!"
The soldiers of the Modao Camp responded in unison and took steps forward while waving Modao.
The imperial guards who were blocking the Modao Camp retreated quickly and stared at the Modao Camp with horror as they slowly advanced step by step. The array was blank, and no one dared to stop the 20,000 imperial guards.
Several generals mixed in the crowd were anxious. They were people that Prince Li Heng had already bribed. The imperial guards were secretly incited by them to mutiny. Yang Guozhong died, and the prince's goal was halfway, but Yang Guifei was not dead yet, so it would be a disaster to keep her alive.
So several malicious generals hid in the crowd and shouted: "Don't be afraid of them, Anxi Army is also a human being. If Yang Yuhuan is not dead, you and my family will be liquidated by the court in the future! Quickly break the formation and kill Yang Yuhuan!"
After being incited by the generals, the originally feared soldiers of the imperial guards began to move again.
The mutiny tonight, and the soldiers of the imperial guards were actually worried, afraid that they and their families would be liquidated by the court in the future. The general's words just hit their minds. Yang Yuhuan must be eliminated tonight, otherwise the misfortunes in the future will be unpredictable.
So the imperial guards formed a formation again and launched a charge towards Modao Camp.
This time the attack was obviously much more fierce, and the attack of the imperial guards who formed the formation was quite well organized.
However, the heavy sword has no edge, and in the airtight form of the Modao array, any living thing will end up being crushed.
After charging again and again, the soldiers of the Modao Camp mercilessly stormed and destroyed them. The open space outside the post station was full of corpses and blood flowed into a river.
Gu Qing and Yang Guifei were always surrounded by personal guards and soldiers of Modao Camp, without any harm.
Gu Qing stared at the front with a expressionless face. The corpses and blood under his feet could not arouse any fear. As he experienced more storms, his heart gradually became harder, and the enemy's life was gradually ignored.
The imperial guards were gradually killed to the death. The reputation of the Modao Camp of the Anxi Army was already well-known, but they did not expect that this army would be so terrifying. The attacks had been launched countless times, and more and more soldiers of the imperial guards fell. However, the Modao Camp is still the Modao Camp, like a mountain that can never be shaken. Thousands of people are attacking one after another, in return for screams and corpses cut into countless pieces.
The two armies are not at the same level as the same level, and the gap is too big. The soldiers of the imperial guards can't help but suspect that this Modao camp with more than a thousand people can unilaterally massacre the 20,000 imperial guards until they are slaughtered.
When the imperial guards were already scared and attacked more and more powerlessly, a more cruel bad news followed.
While the Imperial Guard and Modao Camp were walking and fighting, a loud thunderous sound suddenly came from the avenue at the end of the post station, followed by a rapid sound of footsteps from far to near.
"Shark Scar Camp, three-stage array, enter!"
In the dark night, Sun Jiushi's roar came.
The footsteps gradually became uniform, mixed with the sound of armor leaves, and finally stood about two hundred steps in front of the imperial guards.
The soldiers of the imperial guards looked at the end of the dark road in a striking and hazy moonlight. Under the faint and hazy moonlight, a team of about two thousand people could be seen slowly advancing towards them. The team was in a three-stage array, and they all held something as strange as an iron pipe in their hands.
