The two thousand Western Qin soldiers and horses who returned to Qinzhou were led by the unlucky Chu Liang and his son. When they left, Xue Rengao was still alive and kicking, so they don't know that Xue Rengao has been defeated and captured, and Jingzhou has returned to the Tang Dynasty.
's embrace.
Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if they knew. Chu Liang swore that if that mentally retarded boy Xue Rengao could defeat Li Shimin, he could eat two kilograms of shit.
Just kidding, Chu Liang was not optimistic about Xue Ju's attack on Chang'an from the beginning.
What kind of foundation does Li Yuan have, and what kind of foundation does Xue Ju have? If Xue Ju can really defeat Li Yuan, it can only be said that Li Yuan is extremely incompetent.
Otherwise, if Li Yuan were normal, he could drag Xue Ju to death.
How can Guanlong's background be compared to Xue Ju's little family background?
"Da Lang, this time my father has burdened you." Chu Liang sighed silently.
He was implicated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and then was forcibly dragged into the gang by Xue Ju. It must be said that he was very unlucky to reach this point today.
Chu Suiliang shook his head and laughed at himself: "You are a swordsman and I am a fish and meat. What can you say? However, Xue Rengao cannot be complacent for long. His army has no food and Qinzhou has fallen. He will definitely be defeated overnight."
Chu Liang nodded and said: "If our father and son survive this time, let's go back to our hometown in Henan. I don't want to be this official anymore."
Being an official is too tiring. Having ability is worse than having connections, and having connections is worse than being able to stand in a team. He has been in the wrong team several times in a row, and he feels that his ambition is not there.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Chu Suiliang suddenly said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Chu Liang raised his head and saw the Tang army's banners fluttering in front, the soldiers marching side by side, and the killing atmosphere blowing towards his face.
"Huating, there is an ambush!"
Chu Liang was deeply shocked. He originally thought that the Tang troops should gather in Qinzhou and Jingzhou, but he did not expect that there were Tang troops in Huating.
Xue Rengao, what do you win with?
The leader, General Xie Shufang, rushed out on horseback, his horse radiating an icy chill.
Chu Liang sighed softly. He knew that this was another choice. But this time, he still seemed to have no choice as he had a few years ago.
Either surrender or commit suicide.
"Dad, what should I do?" Chu Suiliang was young after all, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation.
Chu Liang's mouth was stiff and he said: "There is no need for us to sacrifice for the Western Qin Dynasty, it is not worth it."
Although Xue Ju treated him politely, he did not agree with Xue Ju in his heart. In addition, what Xue Rengao did to Chu Suiliang not long ago meant that he had already done his best to Xue Ju.
This was a war without gunpowder. Chu and his son did not offer any resistance and simply dismounted and surrendered.
Li Zhiyun dismissed the two thousand remaining soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, leaving Chu and his son behind.
"You two don't know, but a few days ago, my second brother sent a letter saying that Xue Rengao has been captured alive. You two will be able to see him when he returns to Chang'an."
In the camp, Li Zhiyun looked at Chu Liang and Chu Suiliang.
These are two famous officials of Zhenguan.
"It all depends on the king of Chu." Chu Liang said bitterly.
It turned out that Xue Rengao had already been defeated.
"Fa Luo?" Li Zhiyun laughed, "Well, I still lack Lu Shi Join the Army and Kai Cao Join the Army, so let's go there with Fa Luo."
Um?
Chu Liang and Chu Suiliang looked at Li Zhiyun in confusion.
Don't you want to punish them?
Why use them instead?
Still staying with you?
"Are you two unwilling?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Hearing this, the father and son looked at each other and handed over their hands, "Don't dare, just follow the King of Chu's orders."
Li Zhiyun smiled, stood up, walked to the two of them, helped them up, and said: "You two go down and have a good rest. Soon we will meet up with the army and go to Qinzhou together."
"As commanded."
When Chu and his son walked out of the tent, they still felt that this experience was a bit dreamy.
After a long time, Chu Suiliang said: "Dad, Xue Rengao was not unjustly defeated. The King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty has such a big heart, what about the King of Qin Li Shimin?"
Chu Liang nodded and said: "No matter what, it is better to serve in the Tang Dynasty than in the Qin Dynasty."
The support of the Long nobles in the Tang Dynasty was even worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, but they could still stick to Guanzhong. What did the Western Qin have? Only the wealth that Xue Ju robbed when he was a gangster, how could it compare with the Tang Dynasty?
Inside the camp, Du Ruhui congratulated him: "Congratulations to your Majesty, you have gained another virtuous man."
Li Zhiyun smiled and joked: "The biggest gain from this trip must be the Chu family and his son."
Originally, he planned to make a fortune here, and then meet up with his second brother to continue fishing. Unexpectedly, the sky has the eye to send him two big gifts.
"Chu Liang is very talented and has been valued by Emperor Chen Yang and Emperor Wen. Now he is recording affairs for the king and joining the army. He will definitely be able to fulfill his duties." Du Ruhui said.
"Although people are attached, their hearts are outside. Ke Ming, I still have a lot to do."
"I believe that the king will be able to win people and their hearts."
After saying that, Du Ruhui and Li Zhiyun were stunned at the same time, and then couldn't help laughing loudly.
Uncle Xie on the side muttered to himself: "It's disgusting to win people and gain their hearts at the same time."
Chang'an, Wude Hall.
Li Yuan looked at the two good news from Jingzhou and couldn't close his mouth with joy. One was the good news that Li Shuliang went straight to Huanglong and captured Qinzhou. The other was the good news that Li Shimin captured Xue Rengao alive.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Hahahaha, ok, ok."
Li Yuan applauded and ordered his subordinates, "Go and copy fifty copies of the good news and post them everywhere in Chang'an so that all the people of the Tang Dynasty will know the good news!"
"According to the decree."
Nei Geishi took the good news to Shangshu Province. He was just a eunuch and was not qualified to copy such good news.
"Your Majesty, what good news makes you so happy?"
The charming Zhang Jieyu leaned in Li Yuan's arms, holding a gold cup in her bare hands and bringing it to Li Yuan's lips.
Li Yuan pressed the beautiful white jade hand, rubbed it, and said: "The King of Qin gave me a great victory!"
"What victory?"
"What victory?" Li Yuan laughed, drank the wine while being fed by the beauty, and said happily: "Xue Ju is dead, and the land of Longxi has returned to the Tang Dynasty!"
Feeling comfortable.
Before he ascended the throne, Xue Ju came to stir up trouble. After he ascended the throne, Xue Ju came to stir up trouble again. After killing Xue Ju this time, no one can threaten Chang'an anymore.
Zhang Jieyu lay in Lao Li's arms, playing with Lao Li's beard, pouting her red lips, and curiously asked: "Isn't King Qin the number one hero?"
"Well, the Prince of Changping County also made meritorious service this time, as well as the King of Chu, they all have merit."
Zhang Jieyu smiled, pillowed her jade face on Lao Li's chest, closed her eyes slightly, and showed a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Lao Li patted the beauty's jade back, the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
Not long after, the prince and several ministers arrived at Wude Hall.
With foreign ministers present, Zhang Jieyu naturally retreated to the background.
"Dear dear friends, do you all know?" The dismay on Lao Li's face was palpable.
Nonsense, if you let people promote it throughout Chang'an, it would be difficult if you don't know.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"No need." Li Yuan laughed, "This is all thanks to your love for me."
Prince Li Jiancheng said: "The emperor's uncle took Qinzhou directly and cut off the foundation of Xue Rengao. It is really amazing."
Speaking of Li Shuliang, Li Yuan was also very satisfied and said: "He was defeated in Jingzhou last time, and this time he made up for it. After all, he has lived up to my painstaking efforts for him."
Nayan Doukang said: "I think that if His Highness the King of Qin did not contain the Western Qin army in Changwucheng, Qinzhou would not be empty."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Erlang's action is indeed a great achievement. However, Shu Liang's assessment of the situation and his ability to use Xue Ju's coffin to cleverly attack Qinzhou and cut off Xue Rengao's retreat is also a great achievement."
"What the emperor said is true." Li Jiancheng agreed.
