At the foot of Mawei Slope, banners representing the emperor were flying. An Shenqi, acting like a master, set up a temporary camp at the foot of Mawei Slope.
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's 4,000 troops are stationed on the Mawei slope. If anything changes, they can swoop down from the slope with just a cup of tea.
The Ya soldiers and Jinchang troops brought by An Shenqi, as well as the Zhenguo army soldiers, were stationed three miles away.
This is An Shenqi's way of saying that he is truly here to make peace and has absolutely no evil intentions.
This is a wonderful balance.
Li Congyao's Fengxiang army of more than 5,000 men was blocked in the middle of the mountain by the Qinzhou Xiongwu army of more than 3,000 men urged by Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhaotun's six thousand troops were located in and around Maweipo, occupying the advantage of his home field.
An Shenqi personally led 600 Daibeixiao Cavalry, 6,000 Jinchang Army, and 7,000 Huazhou Army, a total of more than 13,000 people stationed in the east, and separated Li Congzhao's more than 2,000 people from Zhang Zhao.
opened.
In this scene, it seemed that Zhang Zhao only had more than 6,000 people, but he actually took the initiative.
Because although the Fengxiang army still has 8,000 people in total, they are frightened and only want to return to Fengxiang intact, and have no ability to take the initiative to attack.
An Shenqi brought 13,000 men, but An Shenqi himself knew that except for the 600 knights from Daibei he brought to Guanzhong, there were not many who could actually fight.
Among them, the Jinchang Army stationed in Chang'an had just been defeated by the Hechuan rebels in a field battle, and was still in a state of stress as if you had been beaten by a monkey. They did not want to mess with the Guiyi Army who had annihilated the rebels.
Moreover, An Shenqi did not completely convince Jinchang's army. If he really wants to pull him out to fight, there is no chance that anything will happen.
Although the Huazhou Zhenguo Army is not bad in terms of combat effectiveness, it is the foundation for Zhao Kuangzan's survival.
The father-in-law of this young master had offended Shi Jingtang so much that without these thousands of soldiers to suppress the country, it might be difficult to save his life.
Therefore, the Zhenguo Army can listen to An Shenqi's orders, but it is difficult to know what to do on the battlefield. I guess it will be good to just follow the example.
....
An Shenqi met Zhang Zhao for the first time. This powerful Zhang Sikong was surprisingly young.
Perhaps because his beard is not too thick, he looks much younger than his actual age. He does not look like he is twenty-five years old at all, but looks like he is in his early twenties.
Zhang Zhao was also observing An Shenqi. This forty-year-old Taifu An was not overweight. He was tall and thin, with long arms. He was obviously very good at shooting. His face had some Sogdian characteristics, but
It's no longer obvious.
War serves politics, and politics involves compromise in addition to fighting.
The current situation in which An Shenqi is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and Zhang Zhaojun is at home, means that the time has come to compromise, because neither side wants to continue fighting.
"Sikong is young and promising! Before I came, I went to worship at the grave of Zhang Taibao, my ancestor. At that time, the country was ruined and the world was in chaos. The Tubo people were trapped in Hexi. They shaved their heads and changed clothes, enslaved Tang'er, and moved to Longyou in Hexi.
Are you in danger from Hu Chen?
The Taibao Gong raised his arms and called out, and the heroes followed, and the six counties and mountains and rivers returned to the country. He is a hero in the world. Thinking about it still makes my heart surge!"
The two looked at each other for a few times, but An Shenqi spoke first, and he was very smart. Starting from the topic of Zhang Yichao, his words were full of praise for Zhang Yichao.
If others admire your ancestors, you must not be cold-faced anymore, even if half of this war will be blamed on An Shenqi.
Zhang Zhao sighed in his heart. The three words Zhang Yichao were not only the glory of Zhang Zhao and Gui Yijun, but also the rope that bound their hands and feet.
Others can burn, kill and loot, but Zhang Zhao can't, unless he is willing to destroy Zhang Yichao's sign and completely amuse himself in Longyou, Hexi.
In fact, Zhang Zhao still has a chance to make a comeback. That is to use the more than 200,000 people in Chang'an as a temptation and promise to invade Chang'an for three days without sealing the sword.
In this way, 3,500 Xiongwu troops and more than 1,000 captured Fengxiang troops could be organized immediately.
Zhang Zhao believed that if he did this, An Shenqi would not be able to resist him.
But he did it! Then is he still Zhang Zhao? I didn’t come to time travel just to become a fifth-generation warlord!
An Shenqi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Zhang Zhao's uncertain expression, he knew that this was a fierce battle in Zhang Zhao's heart.
If Zhang Zhao really planned to plunder Guanzhong, he would have to rely on the Huazhou Zhenguo army to retreat to the Tongguan line before making plans.
Finally, An Shenqi breathed a long sigh of relief, because Zhang Zhao's face calmed down and he held his hand in front of him.
"There are still people in the world who remember my ancestor Taibao Gong!
A certain Zhang Zhao wanted to inherit the legacy of his ancestors and bring millions of sons and daughters of soldiers from Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou back to the country."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhao looked at Li Congyao, who was being helped in with frowning eyes, and shouted: "But there are traitors in the country who steal high positions, are jealous of the virtuous, and fight for property. I will join the rebel army Qianli Qinwang, so I will
Do you deserve this kind of treatment?"
Li Congsuo didn't dare to look at Zhang Zhao at all, and without even greeting An Shenqi, he slipped into the tent in a gray manner.
At this moment, the guards at the gate came to report that the inspector, Kang Fu, the Qinzhou Xiongwu Jiedushi envoy, had arrived.
An Shenqi was immediately overjoyed. Kang Fu still had 5,000 strong troops in his hands, and the 3,500 strong troops that Zhang Zhao forced to surrender were also brought by Kang Fu. When Kang Fu arrived, he felt more at ease.
"Sikong, please calm down. We are here today because of this matter. Taiwei Kang is an elder and a loyal minister of the country. Why don't you and I go to greet him together?"
After saying that, An Shenqi came over and pulled Zhang Zhao's arm affectionately. Although Zhang Zhao was unwilling, he still didn't hide. The two held each other's arms and went to the camp gate to greet Kang Fu.
As for Li Congzhen, no one pays attention at all. After this battle, no matter what the discussion is today, if Li Congzhen can retain the title of King Qi, even if he is lucky, losers will never have status.
Kangfu was born in the fourth year of Zhonghe reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (884). He was thirteen years older than An Shenqi and was skilled in bow and horse.
He once accompanied Li Keyong in the southern and northern wars, passed through the emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty, pacified the local areas, quelled civil strife, and attacked party items. He was a true elder.
The Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and even Guo Wei's Later Zhou in this era can all be regarded as a system.
Because among them, whether they were emperors or famous ministers and generals, they were all descended from the three Daibei tribes of Li Keyong and his son. They were all Daibei warriors who had followed Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and even Li Siyuan in their early years.
It was not until Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe that the emperor's inheritance was transferred from the three tribes of Daibei to the descendants of the Forbidden Army in the Central Plains.
It was not until the fall of Liu Chong's Northern Han Dynasty that the Daibei Wuxun Group gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
At this time, Daibei Wuxun was still at its peak. No matter who was the emperor, it would always be Daibei warriors like them who were popular.
Although An Shenqi is more famous than Kang Fu and has a higher position than Kang Fu, he is still a little brother in front of an old man like Kang Fu who has followed Li Keyong.
Kangfu people live up to their name. After Hua passed away, the brave generals of the Ya'er army who followed Li Keyong in the past have also gained weight. Although their bodies are still fat, their shoulders have regenerated and they are no longer as brave as before.
"It's broken! It's broken! A certain old man, an important minister of the country, has made great achievements in quelling the chaos?"
Before An Shenqi and Zhang Zhao spoke, Kang Fu laughed and walked over quickly. After speaking, he took Zhang Zhao's hand, looked at Zhang Zhao and sighed.
"Could it be Zhang Sikong from Hexi? Sure enough, he is a young hero and a talented person in the world! When I was in Qinzhou, I heard Zhang Sikong's fame so many times that he convinced all the Qiang people.
It's a pity that Cao Linggong acted first, otherwise I will definitely marry two granddaughters to you!"
An Shenqi was stunned for a moment. There was something wrong with this plot!
According to his assumption, an old man like Kang Fu, who was a martial artist from Daibei, should have come to help him with his boxing. Why did he ignore him and get involved with Zhang Zhao as soon as he came?
There are several very important points in Kang Fu's words.
He first told An Shenqi to listen to it, and all the Qiang were in awe.
It means that Zhang Zhao's strength is much more than what we see now. The key is that he has the power to unify Longyou in Hexi Province. He can only make friends, not enemies.
The second sentence was ostensibly envying Cao Yijin for marrying his granddaughter to Zhang Zhao early, but this was meant for Zhang Zhao.
The implicit meaning is that he is very aware of the situation of the Guiyi Army and reminds Zhang Zhao that everyone knows the basics and will stop as soon as possible.
The last thing I wanted to do about marrying my granddaughter was for An Shenqi and Zhang Zhao, which meant that my old man was very optimistic about Zhang Zhao and was not here to give An Shenqi a platform or use his power to overwhelm others.
It was also to appease Zhang Zhao and tell him not to worry, lest Zhang Zhao do something drastic.
Sure enough, in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period, he fought from the south to the north and served as a governor in more than a dozen places. He was framed several times by the traitor An Zhongjiao, but he was not killed by the rebels or the powerful ministers.
, is also a wonderful person!
"If Kang Weng has this intention, it is better to protect a certain prince. There are still hundreds of jars of Anxi purple wine in the Liangzhou treasury. It is spicy, sweet and smooth. It is unparalleled. If you drink three hundred cups a day, your journey in the world will not be in vain."
Once!"
After knowing that Kang Fu was a quickie, Zhang Zhao grabbed Kang Fu's arm with his backhand and began to make suggestions shamelessly.
Kangfu's throat rolled. There is no general who doesn't like wine. This kind of purple wine with a slightly higher alcohol content and sweet taste has always been his favorite, and he often asked people to buy it from Sogdian merchants.
Zhang Zhao's proposal is also very interesting. If there is a prince, other than the head wife, he does not need to be called a concubine. She is a concubine, so it is not an insult to anyone.
After saying this, Zhang Zhao saw that Kang Fu was really hesitating, and immediately felt that something was wrong. He waved to the stupid bear who was pretending to be stupid.
Barbarian Xiong knew that something was wrong, but he had no choice but to summon Zhang Zhao, so he could only come over with a sad face.
When Kangfu saw the wild bear, he couldn't help but praise him: "What a great bear and tiger general! If he wears three layers of armor, he will be my brother's minion on horseback!"
The Jingsi in Kangfu's mouth is called An Jingsi, and he also has a name that is resounding throughout the world. He is known as Li Cunxiao, who is known as the king but cannot be the domineering one, and cannot compete with Li!
Being able to be Li Cunxiao's minion is an incredible compliment for a brave general like Barbarian Bear!
Zhang Zhao laughed and patted Barbarian Xiong on the shoulder, "The Lieutenant praised you so much, why don't you take it out quickly?"
Barbarian Bear made a sad face, "Sikong is so cruel, he only misses this old bear of me!"
As he spoke, he took out a skin bag the size of a human head, and then reluctantly handed it to Kang Fu.
Kangfu had already smelled the aroma of the wine, so he took it without disdain and shook it first, then opened the cork and took a deep breath.
"It smells so good! It smells so good! What a good wine! You're such a rough guy, but you can still save such a fine wine! Hahaha! I'm so lucky!"
Having said that, you are not polite and just drink with your head held high.
Barbarian Bear's cheeks twitched with distress. He had been hiding here and there for more than three months. On weekdays he was only willing to take a small sip. Who would have thought that after saving it for so long, he would be sold by Zhang Zhao all at once.
"Slow down! Slow down! Oh! This is good wine! Drink it slowly!"
The strong man, who was over 80 meters tall, felt quite aggrieved, as if he was watching his mother-in-law being raped.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but clicked his tongue a little. The degree of this purple wine is not low. It is made with distilled liquor. It must be around 30 degrees. It weighs at least two or three kilograms. Can't Kangfu get drunk?
Sure enough, after drinking most of the wine, Kangfu's face turned red, as if he was really drunk, and he actually started sobbing a little.
"In the past, the generals did not save my brother and showed their filial piety, which made the world lose heroes. Today, Sikong is working hard to defeat the thieves of the country. After all this, who else is willing to be a loyal minister? Isn't it a loss for the country? I will be the emperor!"
What Kang Fu said was that in the past, Li Keyong did not want to kill Li Cunxiao, but he wanted to beg for mercy, so he pardoned him.
But all the generals were jealous of Li Cunxiao, and no one interceded for him, so Li Keyong had to kill Li Cunxiao.
After that, Li Keyong resented the generals and became depressed. If it had not been for Li Cunxu, who frightened the world by losing his life three times, Daibei Wuren would have almost come to an end.
The killing of Li Cunxiao has been an embarrassing past event that Daibei Wu people do not want to mention.
An Shenqi let out a long sigh, then looked into the big tent, his mind turning over and over again, Zhang Zhao's power was already achieved, and he could only follow the trend.
Li Congzuo! May you be blessed!
Kangfu watched An Shenqi sigh and leave, and returned the wine skin with a little bit of wine to the bear, and took Zhang Zhao's arm, his eyes were clear, and he was not even a little bit drunk.
"Send me a hundred jars of this wine, and then help me kill someone. His surname is also Song! After this is done, I will fulfill your wish!"
Zhang Zhao nodded hesitantly. His surname is also Song? Could it be?
