When Li Hong climbed the hillside, he saw Qin Zhan below issue an order to attack. Yuchi Xunyan and Chen Gong were left outside. Qin Zhan led a hundred Yulin Guards to rush into Dazhuangyan Temple.

Usually, Qin Zhan dared to lead people into Dazhuangyan Temple and had to be punished. He did not have the courage to do so, but today is different. Except for the rebels of Liu Ju in Dazhuangyan Temple, the leader this time was the crown prince Li Hong, so Qin Zhan was very brave.

He led a hundred Yulin Guards. As soon as he walked past the second lords of Dazhuangyan Temple, the robbers inside noticed it, so they didn't want to surrender, so they rushed out, so they met at the second lord of Dazhuangyan Temple.

"Kill--" Qin Zhan gave the order, regardless of the quiet place of Buddhism, he killed it. Liu Ju's rebels ignored the quiet place of Buddhism even more, and rushed towards the Yulin Guard one by one.

Once the two sides confronted each other, they would fly with blood and the battle was quite tragic.

Qin Zhan had 100 people and only 60 rebels. He should have had the upper hand, but because the Yulin Guard had short training time and low combat power, he was killed by the 60 rebels. If there weren't 200 people ambushing outside the temple, Qin Zhan would have really fought with the other party.

The leader of the traitor was a middle-aged man with a low figure but strong figure. He was a typical northwestern man. He did not go forward to fight, but stood behind the team to command everyone to fight. When he saw that Qin Zhan's Yulin Guard was about to be killed and collapsed, he showed a faint smile in his eyes. He was the head of the Dazhuangyan Temple stronghold, and he was trained by him. He was also very happy to see that the murderous combat effectiveness he trained was so strong. He was not stupid and knew very well that there must be a large army outside the temple. He could not say that he could not leave Chang'an City, but he was clear that if Li Hong taught him a lesson, he would be very satisfied.

Qin Zhan's Yulin Guard could withstand the pressure of the rebels at first, but it was no longer possible after a long time and completely collapsed. No matter how Qin Zhan ordered, they did not dare to rush forward. After half of the incense fighting, the rebels finally rushed out of Dazhuangyan Temple.

Outside the Dazhuangyan Temple, there were already one hundred Yulin Guards of Yuchi Xunyan and one hundred Chen Gong’s guards waiting for the battle. As soon as the traitor rushed out of the Dazhuangyan Temple, Yuchi Xunyan and Chen Gong immediately ordered that 200 people rushed up to kill the traitors. Compared with the newly formed Yulin Guards, Chen Gong’s guards were very strong because of their long establishment and strong combat effectiveness. As soon as they entered the battle group, they put a lot of pressure on the traitors.

When the leader of the traitor saw this scene, he no longer commanded behind him, but went forward in person and joined the battle.

"Yan Zhuang, how many people will the Yulin Guard lose this time?" Li Hong asked Yan Zhuang on the side. Seeing the Yulin Guard's battle, he knew that the Yulin Guard's combat effectiveness was still very weak and needed to strengthen training. It is inevitable that many people will be lost in the battle tonight.

"Thirty people." Yan Zhuang guessed.

"No, at least sixty people will be lost." Li Hong said affirmatively.

"So many?" Yan Zhuang asked in surprise. The other party had only sixty people, two hundred Yulin Guards, one hundred guards, and three hundred people to deal with the other party's sixty people. The Yulin Guard would lose sixty people. The other party's strength was too strong.

"Chen Gong's guards are good at horse warfare and are not suitable for this type of battle. It is normal for them to not be able to exert their combat power. This is also the lack of guards around him." Li Hong said, "As for the Yulin Guards, because of the short training time, they were from the Axe Gang before, and they had never experienced any major battles. Qin Zhan has tried his best to show his strength."

"I will tell Chen Gong about the matter of the guard later." Yan Zhuang said, the combat effectiveness of the guards around the prince had defects and had to be corrected.

Li Hong shook his head and said, "No need to tell him, Chen Gong knew in his heart that he discovered the shortcomings of Gu's guards last time when Gu was assassinated. Therefore, Gu would let them participate in the war today. At their level, improving combat effectiveness is no longer something that training can solve. Only by fighting, today's life-and-death battle can they learn more."

Li Hong wanted to hone his guards through bloody battles.

Because he doesn't have many enemies now, he is very strong. Therefore, his life safety is tied to these guards every time he goes out of the city. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the combat effectiveness of the guards around him...

"In this way, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people." Yan Zhuang said with a heartache. He was the one in a million people who could be a guard by Li Hong. If he lost too much, the number of guards around the prince would be reduced, which would also threaten the prince's safety.

"There is no other way." Li Hong sighed. Because his guards were related to his safety, they were very strict in the selection and could not be selected casually. Therefore, the number of guards around him has always remained at about 800, and it has never exceeded such a number.

Just as Li Hong was discussing with Yan Zhuang, the battle below was coming to an end. After all, Li Hong's side had the advantage in numbers, and the guards had a strong combat power, so it was not difficult to deal with a rebel with only sixty people.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer traitors on the battlefield, and later there were only one leader and six subordinates left.

Seeing this scene, Li Hong said to Yan Zhuang beside him, "Let's go down and take a look."

Yan Zhuang received the order and led two hundred guards to follow Li Hong tightly. The group walked down the hillside and came to the battlefield. Chen Gong and Yuchi Xunyan, and Qin Zhan saw that the prince's prince arrived, he took the initiative to separate the road. The tight guard Li Hong came to the front of the trait leader.

It was still drizzling in the sky. Yan Zhuang held an umbrella for Li Hong, Chen Gong, Yuchi Xunyan, and Qin Zhan tightly protected Li Hong. Ten steps in front of Li Hong were the traitor wood. His clothes were soaked and covered with blood. The six subordinates around him were already tired and fell to the ground, gasping for breath...

"Are you from Chang'an?" Li Hong asked, the traitor leader in front of him was a typical Guanzhong man at first glance.

"Yes." The trait leader replied, his tone was quite respectful, he was not disgusted with Li Hong, nor did he have any good feelings for him.

"The last time I assassinated the orphans was your order?" Li Hong asked.

"Yes, we have been lurking in Chang'an City for almost two years. We just waited for this day, but I didn't expect you to escape." The thief leader said regretfully.

"Why should I rebel with Liu Ju?" Li Hong asked.

"Because, I don't like the Tang Dynasty, I am a survivor of the previous dynasty." The trait leader replied, and the previous dynasty he mentioned was naturally the Great Sui Dynasty.

"The previous dynasty has been dead for more than 40 years, and the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment. Don't you give up?" Li Hong asked in a cold tone.

"Your Highness, you have to ask Liu Ju." The trait leader replied, "Liu Ju has the final say on what we do, we just implement it."

"Do you have your accomplices in Dazhuangyan Temple?" Li Hong asked, even though he knew that he could not ask useful information from the other party. The trait leader smiled, and his face was distorted as he smiled. Then blood flowed out of his mouth, and he committed suicide by taking poison.

"Your Highness, what should these people do?" Yuchi Xunyan pointed to the dead body on the ground and said.

"Don't make a statement, bury them!" Li Hong replied lightly. He knew what Yuchi Xunyan meant, so these people were Liu Ju's subordinates. As long as he reported today's battle situation to Emperor Gaozong, Li Hong would receive a lot of rewards. But Li Hong didn't want to do this. Wouldn't he expose his identity as Yu Linwei? Wouldn't he expose his strength? He felt that the loss was not worth it.

"What should the monks from Dazhuangyan Temple do?" asked Yuchi Xunyan.

"Notify Luo Binwang to let Chang'an County Government take action and detain the presiding officer in prison. The others will be detained according to the situation. I will wait until I will submit my father to the emperor tomorrow and then deal with it." Li Hong said.

Dazhuangyan Temple was a royal temple of the previous dynasty. It was also deeply cared for by Li in the Tang Dynasty. Empress Dugu often went to Dazhuangyan Temple to pray for blessings. When Emperor Gaozong was in charge of Emperor Gaozong, Empress Wu attached great importance to Dazhuangyan Temple. Therefore, if you want to deal with the monks of Dazhuangyan Temple, Li Hong had to say something to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu. Of course, more importantly, he had to say something to the host of Dacien Temple, the leader of Buddhist masters in Chang'an City, and Xuanzang's disciples could say something to him.

Therefore, the handling of the presidency of Dazhuangyan Temple has already involved religious issues...

"No!" Yuchi Xunyan accepted the order and ordered the Yulin Guard to clean up the body and ordered Qin Zhan to take the body elsewhere to burn and bury it. He followed Li Hong back to the East Palace because he wanted to know what kind of evaluation the prince's combat effectiveness of Yulin Guard would give today.

When he arrived at the East Palace, Li Hong said lightly, "The Yulin Cavalry's performance today is very dissatisfied with it."

"I know that it is because I am not good at training, so I ask Your Highness to punish me." Yuchi Xunyan hurriedly apologized.

"I will give you another half a year. If Yu Linwei is still like this within half a year, you can go home and stay." Li Hong said in a stern tone.

"No!" Yuchi Xunyan took the order and bowed and left. When Yuchi Xunyan left, Yan Zhuang, who was standing beside him, whispered, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit strict for Yuchi Xunyan?"

"As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a weapon without carving. Yuchi Xun is a good piece of jade, so he needs to be carved." Li Hong said lightly, "Putting some pressure on him may not be a bad thing."

"Your Highness wants you to be thoughtful." Yan Zhuang said with a smile.

"Your flattery is also good!" Li Hong teased Yan Zhuang and said.

"This--" Yan Zhuang was very embarrassed. Have he ever been afraid of the prince's flattery? But since the prince said so, he admitted it. Therefore, when Li Hong started to read a book, he silently withdrew from the study.

After Yan Zhuang left, Li Hong read the book in the study for a while and began to design his paper and coin model again. It was not until late at night that he returned to Cheng'en Hall to rest at Yan Zhuanghe. (To be continued)
