The edict jointly issued by Li Chengzhong, the governor of the Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Ting, the young eunuch of the Bohai Academy of Literature, and Gao Yaoyi, the right-wing military general of the Bohai Kingdom, quickly spread throughout the five capitals and sixteen prefectures. If the previous "Qinwang Order" was issued, At that time, if all the forces in the Bohai Sea still had the idea of waiting and watching, the announcement this time with the title "Captain of Datang Yingzhou" shocked the whole country.
Nanjing, Nanhai Prefecture. Yang Xuanen, the general of the Qianniu Guards on the left, summoned Dalang from his family and said: "As my father, I will immediately lead the troops to the north. Dalang will lead the Qianniu Guards on the right to guard Nanjing. Once everything is done, you can handle it as you see fit."
The elder of the Yang family said: "Sir, are you going to Xijing?"
Yang Xuan'en said: "Yes, Governor Li of the Tang Dynasty has arrived. If I don't go to see him, I might lose my courtesy."
"If only You Qianniu Guards are left in the south, what will happen to the golden thieves in Kaicheng? There are also tens of thousands of refugees near Mishui. If indigo comes over, the whole government will be ruined."
Yang Xuan'en said: "My father knows that the situation in the south is difficult, but he has to go this time. Dalang try his best to maintain it. Within a month, my father will definitely ask Governor Li to send troops south to put an end to the border disaster. Three thousand is worth ten thousand." , that’s really... tsk tsk, after the Tang army arrived, the gold thieves were infected with ringworm and scabies."
Tokyo, Longyuan Prefecture. Left and right. Jinwuwei General Li Yuanguang excitedly ordered five thousand troops and horses to swear to the west. His younger brother was worried about the instability of Heishui, Tieli and other clans. Li Yuanguang shouted: "Erlang, are you confused? The Tang army has arrived. Bohai, I want to see which tribe dares to cause chaos. Two thousand to twenty thousand. This is two thousand to twenty thousand."
Zhongjing, Xiande Mansion. After reading the proclamation, General Wu Yanqing, the gatekeeper of the left prison, shouted to the servants: "Come here, quickly sweep the courtyard. This mansion is going to welcome the Governor of the Tang Dynasty. Well, I am moving to the third brother's mansion." Come on, hurry up and let me know. Also, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to repair a book for my father. One thousand is worth thirty thousand. This is one thousand worth thirty thousand."
The governors and governors of various prefectures and governors were all on the move. Those who were far away were organizing food and crops, and the people were ready to respond. Those who were nearby simply mounted their horses and came to Xijing. In a short time, the local generals and officials of the Bohai Kingdom came to pay homage to Xijing. center.
On December 3rd, when Nanjing Zuoqianniuwei General Yang Xuanen arrived, Yingzhou Army and Qinwang Army swore an oath and marched eastward.
On December 7, the army marched to Xingzhou. Li Yuanguang led 5,000 Jinwu guards to surrender and join King Qin's army.
On December 10th, Wu Yanqing opened the gate of the stable and welcomed Li Chengzhong into the city. He appointed his son as the general and led an army of 10,000 to follow him.
On December 15, the army marched to Huzhou, Suzhou, and Tongzhou, and led the prefects of Binfu and other prefectures. The governor and the people escorted the army with cattle, sheep, food, fodder, and labor.
On December 18, when the army arrived at the stables, there were more than 30,000 soldiers and almost 50,000 civilians.
The Prime Minister, Zhu Chengming, was not willing to give up. He used the Zuo Shence Army as the main force to collect the You Shence Army and the left and right Xiaowei remnants who had returned from Xijing in defeat. He sent them to the capital, where they were young and strong. He got 50,000 troops and went out of the city to fight.
With the Yingzhou Army's impressive record as its backing, the soldiers and horses of all Qinwang armies were all in high morale and fighting spirit.
Yang Xuanen, the Qianniu Guard general, was the first to ask for battle: "Captain, I am willing to lead the battle, and I will not give up until the enemy's army is defeated."
Li Yuanguang, the general of the Jinwu Guard, was not willing to let the Yang family stand out in front of the Governor of the Tang Dynasty. He quickly took a step forward and said: "Captain, it is better to let the last general be the vanguard. The last general is willing to issue a military order, and he will win this time."
Wu Yingli, the son of Wu Yanqing and the guard of the left prison, also jumped behind the generals and said: "Captain, Governor, don't forget Xie, Xie has ten thousand soldiers and horses in his hands."
The burly body of General Gao Mingxun, the right-leading army guard, played an important role at this moment. He pulled Wu Yingli away, making Wu Yingli almost fall down, and then squeezed in between Li Yuanguang and Yang Xuanen, shouting.
He said: "Two uncles give way, someone has military affairs to report to the governor."
Wu Yingli, Li Yuanguang and Yang Xuanen were about to curse loudly, but suddenly they remembered that this guy seemed to be favored by Governor Li according to rumors and would soon go to Yingzhou as a general, so they had to swallow their anger and step aside.
Gao Mingxun had a good time and squeezed in front of Li Cheng's horse: "Captain, I have ordered my subordinates to line up and be ready to fight at any time. I just wait for the command from the governor." The self-proclaimed "humble" is far more powerful than "the last general" and "scorpion".
External terms such as "" seem to be more intimate, which aroused the envy of all the generals present. Wu Xingli was envious and thought behind him. He would show his face more when the fight started, and tried to get the governor to include him in his account, and in the future.
Fortunately, Governor Li Ma Qian called himself "humble position".
Li Chengzhong rode on his horse and praised each one with a smile, which made all the generals happy. Then he said: "This battle, I have given it to Yuhou Zhongshao, the capital, to command. You can go and ask him for a battle. I only want to see,
If you don't say anything, please work hard, and I will take note of it in my heart."
After all the generals bowed their heads and listened to the order, they crowded in front of Zhong Shao.
"Zhong Duyu, the last general is willing to lead the battle..."
"General Zhong, the general's sergeants are on standby..."
"Commander Zhong..."
There were still a few who couldn't squeeze in, and they looked at Han Yanhui behind Zhong Shao for help. Han Yanhui snorted and shook his head, his pride as a general of the Tang Dynasty growing in his heart.
Both the left and right were cannon fodder, and it didn’t matter which one came up first. Zhong Shao finished the arrangement in a few words. According to Li Chengzhong’s instructions in advance to “observe the combat strength one by one”, he divided the left, middle, right and other departments, and then ordered all the troops to go out together and forget it.
.
On the side, An Duanquan, Qi Huomai, Pu Dichen and other Khitan princes all looked at each other. They didn't understand why these Bohai navy generals who had been shy and timid in the past suddenly became so eager to fight?
An Duanquan asked: "Is this... is this still the Bohai Admiral? It seems that it was not like this before."
Qihuomai couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Don't ask me, when I sent out troops in the past, these grandsons would run back, or hide behind the city wall, and they would not dare to come out to fight even if they risked their lives. Well, that
His name is Gao Mingxun. It was much harder for me to find him than to fight him before. Why does this grandson suddenly like fighting?"
Pu Dichen was also an elder who had led troops in the Diela tribe. He pinched the three whiskers under his chin, shook his head and said, "That Wuyingli has fought against our Diela tribe before. After losing once, he didn't dare to fight with us."
, those who hide here and there on the grassland are always slippery."
An Duan was speechless and finally sighed: "The world has changed..."
In this battle, King Qin's army took Yang Xuanen's 5,000 Niu Guards as the left army, Li Yuanguang's 5,000 Jinwu Guards as the right army, and Wu Xingli's 10,000 prison guards as the middle army. The three armies came out to storm the enemy's formation. At Gao Mingxun's
Desperate to fight, Zhong Shao had no choice but to arrange a "battlefield cruising" job for him. Unexpectedly, this guy really played an extremely important role. When the two armies were entangled and fighting face to face, Gao Mingxun was cruising on the battlefield.
On the other side, he keenly discovered the instability of the enemy's flank, and immediately led 3,000 leading guards to insert themselves in. After a hard fight, the enemy's formation quickly collapsed.
The remnants of the enemy army were defeated and fell into the upper stables. Before half of them could escape back, the upper stable door was closed urgently. So tens of thousands of defeated troops knelt under the city and surrendered. Looking around, they saw densely packed heads. Li Chengzhong looked at it with envy - There are so many people in this place
Not to mention Li Chengzhong's greed, those below Zhong Shao, Wang Yibo, Jiao Chengqiao, Meng Xuxing, Han Yanhui, Zhang Shungian, Zhao Rang, Cui He and others all had stars in their eyes and saliva in their mouths. Among them, Cui He was the most What's more, he held a logistics position in the Yingzhou Army. He had to worry about people, civilians and other things all day long. At this moment, seeing tens of thousands of young people gathered together, he had already had the idea of rushing over and taking a bite.
Cui He couldn't help but tease Han Yanhui: "Han Yuhou, there are so many prisoners surrendered this time..."
Han Yanhui looked at the Bohai prisoners all over the ground and did not come back to his senses: "Um, ah, um, many, yes..."
Cui He reminded: "These are all young and strong."
Han Yanhui said blankly: "Ah, yes, young and strong, tsk tsk... There are so many people in Bohai..."
Cui He simply pointed it out: "Han Yuhou, if we take back these prisoners of war..."
Han Yanhui was stunned, and then scolded: "We are the Tang Dynasty, what can we not rob? Can we do that kind of thing? We are the king's division, huh? Right? The governor follows the emperor's edict to control the military outside the customs, right? ?Now that Wang Shidong is in civil strife in the Dongding vassal, he will naturally report to Chang'an Palace and present prisoners to the emperor..." As he said, he took a step forward and said to Zhong Shao: "Zhong Duyu, we have a great victory in the capital, so we should present prisoners according to etiquette. It’s better to be lucky than to be in a hurry, so we might as well hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony under the city, so as to frighten the enemy forces in the city.”
Zhong Shao immediately nodded and said: "It is said that the generals are here to discuss matters. I will go and report to the governor first."
Li Chengzhong listened to Zhong Shao's suggestion. Although he had thousands of wishes and approvals in his heart, he still muttered and said pretentiously: "So anxious? Will it look too ugly?"
…
The prisoner presentation ceremony under the upper stable took more than an hour, and the Yingzhou army accepted all the more than 27,000 surrendered prisoners. Then Li Chengzhong gave an order, and King Qin's army surrounded Shangjing.
Just as he was about to order an attack, the city gate opened again. It turned out that it was Cui Renxiu, Taichang Qing of the Bohai Kingdom, who asked to see Li Chengzhong to discuss surrender matters.
Prime Minister Zhu Chengming's surrender conditions were similar to those of the Gao family. He knew that he could not avoid death, so he asked Li Chengzhong to agree to only kill himself and other "chief culprits" and spare the lives of the Zhu family, Jin family and Cui family. For this reason, Zhu Chengming ensured the safety of Bohai County King Da Weiying, Wang's brother Da Fengyi, and the Gao, Li, Wushi, Yang and other clansmen serving as officials in Shangjing, and ensured that the upper stables would be handed over intact to the Tang Army and King Qin's Army.
Li Chengzhong thought for a moment and agreed to Zhu Chengming's conditions, but he proposed that the property of the three clans be confiscated, and all the clan members and servants moved to Yingzhou as "criminal citizens". Cui Renxiu was overjoyed, but he was also worried that he and others would die. After that, the tribesmen would be bullied even more. If they went to Yingzhou, no matter whether they suffered or not, at least their lives would be saved. At that moment, Cui Renxiu knelt down to Li Chengzhong, paid homage to the Spring and Autumn Festival, and thanked Li Chengzhong for his "generousness and kindness."
At midnight in the afternoon, the upper stable door finally slowly opened to Li Chengzhong. With King Qin's army as the forerunner, tens of thousands of troops surrounded Li Chengzhong and entered the "Chang'an outside the Pass" that had not fallen in two hundred years.
