The 100,000 people he recruited so hard quickly fled, and many even fled to Li Jingye's army. This not only strengthened Li Jingye's army, but also caused the morale of Zhang Guangfu's army to fluctuate, and some people took the opportunity to spread rumors in the army.
, causing the military morale to become more chaotic, and some people even had the mentality of defecting.
One night two days later, Li Jingye personally led his army across the Huai River and made a surprise attack on the camp of Zhang Guangfu's army.
Zhang Guangfu couldn't help but sneered when he heard the report: "I was asking him to come. This time, Li Jingye has thrown himself into a trap and is about to die! Send my order, and the army will fight. Anyone who kills the traitor Xu Jingye will be killed."
The bounty will be one thousand taels, the title will be made, and the official will be promoted to the fifth level. If the traitor Xu Jingye is captured alive, the bounty will be two thousand taels, the title will be granted, and the official will be promoted to the eighth level!"
At that time, Zhang Guangfu had a favorable geographical location and an absolute advantage in military strength. No matter where he looked, there was no possibility that he would fail this time. Coupled with his consistent thinking of "a brave man must be rewarded with a heavy reward", Zhang Guangfu had absolute confidence.
This time Li Jingye led his troops in a sneak attack and was definitely seeking death.
"Haha, little thief Xu Jingye, don't think that your grandfather is the military god of the Tang Dynasty, which means you are so powerful. The reason why you kept winning before was mainly because Li Xiaoyi was a waste, but who am I, Zhang Guangfu? Can I be like Li Xiaoyi?
Can it be compared to trash? Let your army stop here today. This is the beginning of your nightmare."
"Kill!" The soldiers under Zhang Guangfu's command did indeed do what he thought. They immediately broke out after hearing the reward, and they all roared and killed in the direction of Li Jingye's army.
"Haha, now our army's morale is like a rainbow, and our numbers are superior. Xu Jingye, you lost today, do you accept it or not?"
Seeing the murderous soldiers rushing out, Zhang Guangfu had a faint smile on his lips. He seemed to have seen the scene of Li Jingye running away, and even more like he had seen the day when he became prime minister.
At this moment, two generals under Zhang Guangfu arrived from behind and said happily to him: "Marshal Zhang, look into the distance. Xu Jingye's team has escaped. This is simply a collapse."
"Oh? Really?" Zhang Guangfu felt even more proud after hearing this. He quickly stood on a high ground and looked into the distance. But at this moment, he only heard the sound of a golden blade slashing into the wind. Zhang Guangfu suddenly felt that
There was a feeling of dampness and heat in his chest. When he looked down, he saw that it was already red with blood, and the blood spurted out from his chest like a fountain.
He looked up in confusion, only to find that the leading general named Xu Guomao had a ferocious look on his face, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
"You, why do you want to kill me?" Zhang Guangfu asked with difficulty.
But Xu Guomao said coldly: "You deprived me of my salary in the Tang Dynasty, but you led your troops to kill Zhongliang. You betrayed the new emperor and served the rebellious officials and traitors. You deserve to die! Why do you think Li Xiaoyi's 300,000-strong army died so quickly?"
Collapse? It’s not that Li Xiaoyi is inferior to you. In fact, his military ability is much stronger than yours. However, the reason why he died so quickly was mainly because his actions went against the will of God and the people. This caused the soldiers to be dissatisfied and defected to the rebels one after another.
, Now, you are the second Li Xiaoyi. Haha, before you die, you can feel how many people in the army have already turned their hearts to the rebels. How many soldiers and civilians in the Tang Dynasty hope that His Majesty will regain power. The so-called "Shun Tian Ying"
Man, that’s what you’re talking about.”
Zhang Guangfu saw that no one came forward to help at all, and his heart suddenly became cold. He knew that even though Xu Guomao's words were a bit exaggerated, they were not unreasonable, so he sighed and fell slowly, almost without any struggle, and walked towards death peacefully.
.
Seeing Zhang Guangfu's death, Xu Guomao stepped forward without hesitation, cut off Zhang Guangfu's head, and said loudly: "We are ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to wipe out the vicious and stubborn people, bring peace to the country, and kill the powerful officials.
, let the power return to your Majesty, and rebuild the glory of our Tang Dynasty! Now that the rebel leader Zhang Guangfu has been brought to justice, Your Majesty has a purpose. This time, we will only ask about the culprits, not the threats. As long as you surrender to the emperor and help the emperor eliminate the rebellion, not only can we
If you save your life, you will be rewarded according to your merits. Now that things have come to this, if you still don't surrender, when will we wait?"
In Xu Guomao's hand, he also held up an edict. The edict was signed with Li Xian's name and a bright red word "Edict" written on it. At the same time, around Xu Guomao, hundreds of people gathered together
Shouting loudly, repeating what Xu Guomao just said.
Under such circumstances, the leaderless army of 200,000 people suddenly fell into unprecedented chaos. In the dark night, some fought among themselves for the road, while others simply announced their surrender to the rebels and launched an attack on their original lords.
After a bloody massacre, Zhang Guangfu's 200,000-strong army collapsed in an instant. Even Zhang Guangfu's deputy general, Zuo Jinwuwei General Qu Chongyu, was killed in the rebellion.
In contrast, Li Jingye was very skillful in this battle, and he easily captured the entire Xia Cai!
Only then did Li Jingye finally realize how terrifying the connections Li Xian had accumulated over the years were. Almost every army had his subordinates. After he had received an order from Li Xian asking him to march across the Huai River,
, I was still hesitant in my heart, thinking that there was almost no possibility of winning this battle. Now that I saw how easy it was to win, I finally understood that everything was under Li Xian's control, and even the reason why many people took refuge was
He was not because of his title as a British Duke, but just following Li Xian's orders.
"Fortunately, I did not lead the army to capture Jinling in order to stand on my own feet. Otherwise, I would not know where I died now. I believe that even at the beginning of the uprising, many of the soldiers and generals under my command must have been His Majesty's men. As long as
If I have selfish motives, I will definitely be killed like Zhang Guangfu." Li Jingye couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. At the same time, he broke into a cold sweat and sighed secretly: "Oh, I have never been your Majesty's opponent since I was a child, and I am certainly not your opponent now, even
There will never be any time in the future. Now that I have recognized the reality, I will naturally work hard for Your Majesty. As for those with evil intentions, even people like the Queen Mother will be doomed to failure in the end. How many pounds can I gain?
?”
Luoyang Palace, Qianyuan Palace, Empress Wu couldn't help being frightened when she heard about Xia Cai's battle, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the traitor Xu Jingye would be so bold, and directly killed my general, how come you are like this
Is it okay? Send me an order to order Cheng Wuting to lead an army of 150,000 to quell the rebels. Hmph, I think you little thief Xu Jingye can remain undefeated this time?" (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
