Taking Jiagu Pass, for Shi Zhongtang and the entire southern Xinjiang rebel group, was like taking a Shiquan Dabu pill, which almost caused bleeding from all the orifices.
Morale was so high that the rebels were clamoring to go to Chang'an or to hunt down the emperor. Shi Zhongtang himself was not in a hurry to go to Chang'an, but stayed at Jiagu Pass.
However, before he arrived in Chang'an, his subordinates sent many beauties.
Those maids who used to serve the emperor and the nobles in the palace now feel uneasy when facing the new rich. Wine and beauty have always been scraping bones with steel knives. Shi Zhongtang got up late for the first time.
When I walked into the lobby, I saw He Zun waiting.
Does the Duke know what happened to the grass-headed kings after the fall of the Chen Kingdom? He Zun saluted and asked. Shi Zhongtang thought about it for a while, and they were destroyed one by one.
After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, wars broke out all over the world. Anyone with some ability and charisma set out to stand on their own. After a fight, dozens of forces were left, known as the Thirty-Six Roads of Smoke.
I read history and saw that those grass-headed kings took over the city, not to say that they worked hard to govern, but to enjoy wealth and wealth. I was thinking, could this kind of wealth be compared with that of emperors?
He Zun's words are implying that Shi Zhongtang's current enjoyment is just that of a rich man, and the real enjoyment will come later. But you have to cheer up first.
Shi Zhongtang was startled and said in a deep voice: Mr. He is like a fish in water. Someone is here!
Several guards came in, and Shi Zhongtang ordered: Send those women back to Chang'an. Take the order!
Shi Zhongtang's obedient advice made He Zun very happy. The Duke accepted the advice fluently, showing the appearance of a wise king. An official came in and asked the Duke to report urgently to Lizhou.
Oh! Shi Zhongtang said with slightly cold eyes.
Sima Lin of Lizhou now mobilized and killed Feng Chen, the governor. He asked the Duke to quickly send troops to guard the area.
Good! Shi Zhongtang couldn't help but smile. By taking Lizhou, he stopped the Northern Xinjiang Army from going south. From this, our army can be deployed calmly. Good! Good! Good!
After breaking the Jiagu Pass, the Northern Xinjiang Army became the first threat to Shi Zhongtang. Shi Zhongtang's main purpose was to control Guanzhong and hunt down the emperor. But the Northern Xinjiang Army was on the side, only
A Lizhou is blocking it. If Lizhou is lost, the Northern Xinjiang army will pour down.
You must not leave Lizhou to Li Xuan. He Zun said: Otherwise, people in the world will think that the Tang Dynasty has something to do. Come, let Chunyu come.
Chunyu came in, and Shi Zhongtang ordered: You lead an army of 20,000 to meet Lizhou. Remember, after taking Lizhou, you are not allowed to go to war. If you go to war, it will be a serious crime.
This was the lesson Dou Zhong brought. Shi Zhongtang said to He Zun: If Li Mi had not urged Dou Zhong to go to war, but instead collected food and grass in Guanzhong, there would have been much hope for this battle.
He Zun did not say that Li Mi tried but found nothing, so this is God's will. Mentioning God's will is like giving Shi Zhongtang a chicken blood injection.
He stood up and said, "Get ready, I'll go to Chang'an." He Zun smiled and said, "It's time for the Duke to go to Chang'an to take charge."
On the same day, Shi Zhongtang led the troops to Chang'an. He would sit in Chang'an, suppress Guanzhong, and hunt down Li Mi and his party. Chun Yu led the troops and set off.
Lin found out that this person was greedy for fame and fortune, and our spy threw out the Marquis, and he was moved. He thought he was just helping, but he didn't expect that this person took the initiative to kill Feng Chen and solved the trouble.
The counselor accompanying the army said disdainfully: There are many such shameless people in the Tang Dynasty, no wonder he is weak.
Chunyu said: Didn't the storytellers in southern Xinjiang say that the rise and fall of the world is God's will, and the division and reunification are also God's will. The Tang Dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years, and the good times are coming to an end. Next is the Duke of the Kingdom.
When will the duke establish the country? The counselor asked.
Chunyu didn't have an answer to this question, and the Duke of Guo had not yet mentioned the matter.
Li Mi is still there and the world is still resisting. Ascension to the throne at this time will only attract the same hatred and hatred. This is He Zun's analysis. Shi Zhongtang can only suppress the idea of proclaiming himself emperor and still call him the Duke of the Kingdom.
Even if you imitate Li Xuan and call yourself a king, it’s fine! The counselor said. What kind of king can that be? Chunyu thought for a while, the Duke of the country is called Shang, King of Shang?
Yes, King Shang.
The counselor was suddenly startled.
——The King of Shang ended up betraying his relatives and eventually died at the hands of the rebels.
Tell the knight to move faster. Chunyu said: If we control Lizhou, we will win 90% of this battle. Come on!
The rangers left the group and began to rush to Lizhou.
The sky was clear and the sun was slightly hot, which made people feel high-spirited and comfortable. The rider continued to accelerate, and soon met Lizhou's scouts.
Stop!
Both sides looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, a petty official came out, and Lin Sima ordered the little man to greet him. Where was the Northern Xinjiang Army? The general who led the team asked.
The clerk said: The Northern Xinjiang Army has not been found yet.
Okay! The general said with a glowing face: "Taking Lizhou is a great achievement."
The clerk followed Lin Xian to rebel, and he was a little uneasy and ashamed. Now when he saw the rebel Ma Rulong, he comforted himself and said: This is God's will.
quick!
--
On the other side, Wang Laoer and his cavalry are also rushing to Lizhou. Hurry!
He led three thousand horses and galloped through the wilderness.
At the top of Lizhou City, Lin Xian and the envoy were talking in a low voice. Does the Duke have any plans for the future?
This question was a bit taboo, but the envoy knew that Lin Xian was worried and wanted some reassurance, so he said: The Duke of Guo has captured Chang'an, and the next step is to blockade Guanzhong and hunt down Li Mi.
Li Mi went to the southwest. The roads in Shu are steep and difficult to chase! Lin Xian wished that the rebels would catch up with Li Mi and kill him with one blow. In this way, even if the world is without a master, it would be useless for him to follow Shi Zhongtang.
betray.
The roads in Shu are steep. They can seal off foreign enemies while also sealing themselves off. The envoy is knowledgeable. According to historical records, no real dragon has ever emerged from Shu. This shows that Shu can only be safe in a corner. Even Li Mi is
Having fled to Shu, he will be annihilated and unknown from now on.
It is difficult to enter Shu, but if it is blocked by foreign enemies, it is also difficult to exit. This is a double-edged sword that can hurt others and yourself.
That's good. Lin Xian felt relieved and felt that his career was promising, and he couldn't help but smile happily.
By the time Li Xuan discovered that Lizhou had changed hands, it was already too late. Lin Xian pointed to the north, which was bitter and cold and not as wealthy as the south. After the Duke of Guanzhong suppressed Guanzhong, he only needed a few years to recuperate, and the money and food could be piled up like mountains, and the warriors as numerous as stars.
At that time, go north to attack Li Xuan and rule the world!
This guy is quite interesting!
The messenger nodded slightly, as it should be. Ta-ta-ta!
A group of scouts returned quickly, and Lin Xian said: It seems they have discovered something. The scouts went up to the top of the city, looking frightened, and Wang Laoer came.
Three thousand riders appeared below the city like a whirlwind.
Lin Xian's face turned pale, Li Xuan actually knew?
After Zhangzhou was defeated, the Northern Xinjiang Army must attack Lizhou next. Calmly, the messenger said: This is just a sentinel. Wang Laoer pointed at the city head, and then led three thousand riders to bypass Lizhou City and go south.
Lin Xian glanced at the envoy and found that the envoy's face did not look very good.
This is to intercept the advance of our army. The envoy's face is ashen and he is not afraid. If the Duke's troops set out early, they will surely reach Lizhou before Li Xuan's army arrives.
If Shi Zhongtang's reinforcements arrive in Lizhou first, they can defend it calmly. Now, the two sides are competing for speed.
Whoever arrives first takes the initiative.
The rebels' cavalry galloped across the wilderness. The general looked at the fertile fields and couldn't help but think of his home in the mountains. He felt a surge in his chest and sang a tune from his hometown.
Most of the rebels were from foreign races, and they all sang along.
The accompanying clerk said: "General, hurry up and get on your way!"
The general's interest was interrupted, and he said displeasedly: The warriors are already fast enough. A man can go without rest, but a horse cannot.
He was afraid that the Northern Xinjiang Army would arrive. The clerk was a little uneasy.
The general said disdainfully: What about the Northern Xinjiang Army? Our army’s opponent has never been those government soldiers, it has always been the Northern Xinjiang Army. If they
It's time to give it a try.
Really proud!
The clerk's mood improved a lot. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. What was that? A group of cavalry appeared in the distance.
The cavalry were accelerating. The leader drew his sword.
General Cao Nima narrowed his eyes, and then shouted excitedly: They are the rangers of the Northern Xinjiang Army, brothers, kill them! The Southern Xinjiang rebels have always regarded the Northern Xinjiang Army as their real opponent, and everything depends on the Northern Xinjiang Army.
As a benchmark. After many years of training, today finally had the opportunity to compete, and the rebels were all excited.
That's Mr. Wang!
When he saw the two sergeants wearing sacks, the clerk shouted.
Shut up! The general shouted: I will kill this man today and hang his head on the head of Lizhou City. Kill him!
Hearing the general's words, the rebels were all excited. The two sides continued to get closer.
Shoot the arrow!
The Northern Xinjiang army on the opposite side gave the rebels a heavy blow with crossbows.
They want to put away their crossbows, opportunity! The general shouted: "Come in! Crossbows are not easy to make, and no one will throw them away easily."
The action of retracting the crossbow is enough for the rebels to win the initiative.
But when he saw the Northern Xinjiang troops easily put their small crossbows into the bag on the side of the horse, the general shrank his eyes.
So small?
Wang Laoer raised his knife and was the first to rush in. One!
The head flew behind him, and the thin elder took the head skillfully, shook away the blood, and put two pills in the bag!
The two sides collided head-on, and the rebels broke through sharply in the middle. The general shouted: Don't worry about anything else, penetrate them. The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. They only need to penetrate the opponent, and then they can cut and strangle them.
The rebels used this set of tactics very skillfully.
The center of the Northern Xinjiang Army was sunken, but then the Northern Xinjiang Army cavalry on both sides held up their spears and squeezed into the middle row by row, with the intention of cutting off the rebels.
Charge! There was no turning back when he fired his bow, and the general led his army without hesitation and continued to charge forward.
A battle broke out between the two sides. The rebels continued to attack, and the front of the Northern Xinjiang Army was constantly weakened. But on both sides, the Northern Xinjiang Army was like peeling a carrot, strangling the rebels layer by layer.
You hit yours, and I hit mine. The two sides are competing for willpower to see who can't resist it first.
Wang Laoer, with dozens of cavalry, bit the general with all his might.
The general urged his subordinates to continue to charge forward. When he saw more than ten cavalrymen making a breakthrough, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was a great victory!
The sharpness of the rebels made the Northern Xinjiang Army Rangers, who had been on a smooth journey, feel trembling. Wang Laoer raised his sword and shouted: We, the Northern Xinjiang Army
mighty!
The cavalrymen of the Northern Xinjiang Army thought of the fighting over the years.
The three major tribes, Bei Liao and Shegu people, are they weak? Not weak.
Who are we afraid of?
Under the leadership of Wang Laoer, the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army broke out.
The front no longer wavered, and despite repeated attacks by the rebels, it remained as hard as a rock.
The two wings were constantly charging and killing, and just when Mr. Wang was approaching the enemy general, he successfully cut off the enemy. Kill!
Wang Laoer has a reputation for bravery, and the general has been avoiding him. But now the two sides are strangled together, and there is no way to avoid it. The two sides just met each other, and the general's arm was cut off by Wang Laoer.
The general pulled out the short sword with his left hand without changing his expression and shouted: The remaining rebels of our Southern Xinjiang Army shouted, "Mighty!"
A fierce fighting lasted for half an hour. The general was beheaded by Wang Laoer, and hundreds of remaining rebels fled in panic. Chunyu was on his way.
After receiving the news of Yuqi's failure, Chunyu's expression changed drastically, "Damn it, hurry up!"
At the top of Lizhou City, Lin Xian said to the envoy: It seems that the Northern Xinjiang Army is really just a patrol sentry. In this case, it is up to me to take the initiative. The envoy smiled and said: The Duke of Guo has exhausted all his plans, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is destined to make a wasted trip.
The scouts are back.
The scouts rushed into the city and climbed to the top of the city. They looked pale. Sima, the Northern Xinjiang Army, was here.
Just as Lin Xian was about to ask a question, his body suddenly stiffened. Puff puff!
He turned back slowly.
At the end of the sky, a black line faintly appeared. Accompanying the black line was vibration. Puff, puff, puff!
It seemed as if countless giant beasts were approaching Lizhou City.
When a big flag appeared, Lin Xian shouted almost like a wail: It's Li Xuan! At the end of the sky, the army is advancing continuously.
