Last year we fought at Sangqianyuan, this year we fought at Conghe Road.
Wash the troops in the waves on the sea, and release the horses to the grass in the snow of Tianshan Mountain.
After a long march of thousands of miles, the three armies were exhausted.
The Xiongnu used killing as a means of farming, and since ancient times only white bones and yellow sand fields have been seen.
The Qin family built a city to avoid barbarians, while the Han family still had beacons burning.
The flames of war are endless, and there is no end to the war.
When someone dies in a battle in the field, the defeated horse howls to the sky in sorrow.
The black kite pecks at people's intestines and flies up to dry branches.
The soldiers are careless and the generals are empty.
But he knows that soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints must use them as a last resort.
——"Battle in the South" by Li Bai
…
The two people in the courtyard were none other than You Erniang and Bai Fu.
You Erniang said: "Holy Master, I blew the fragrance of Chasing Souls from Thousand Miles into Yin Ziqi's earholes. The fragrance entered my ears and stayed there for the rest of the month."
Bai Fu asked: "Will he notice it?"
You Erniang smiled proudly and said: "This fragrance is colorless and odorless, and those who are affected by it will not feel any discomfort." After saying this, You Erniang whistled.
A thin dog shaped like a sausage appeared on the roof of the courtyard. It jumped down from the eaves and jumped into You Erniang's arms.
You Erniang stroked the thin dog's smooth golden hair and repeated the dialogue: "This dog is called the Fox-eating Beast. It has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Only it can smell the fragrance of Chasing Souls A Thousand Miles Away.
With its help, the Holy Lord, Yin Ziqi can be found wherever he is hiding."
Bai Fu raised his thumb and praised: "The second master really deserves his reputation."
You Erniang showed a rare shy look and said with a shy smile: "These are all shady methods. I didn't expect to be able to work for the Tang Dynasty. If Master knows about it, I will be happy." At this point, You Erniang actually fell down.
A few tears.
Bai Fu was filled with emotion, he never expected that the ruthless second master of Heifeng Village would have such a moment.
After her emotions calmed down, You Erniang wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I made the Holy Lord laugh. May I ask the Holy Lord, when will you take action?"
Bai Fu's voice was calm and he said: "It's not too late to do it tonight."
…
Just when Bai Fu and You Erniang were planning the operation, a feast was held at Chenliu's military camp.
"How is it? Is the wine okay?" Yin Ziqi asked cautiously.
"Reporting to the general, I have tested it with silver needles and cats and dogs. There is nothing wrong with this batch of food and wine." The general replied.
"That's good, let's reward the three armies tonight before the Tang army shows up." Yin Ziqi laughed.
Last night, Yan Zhuang's confidants brought a letter written by Li Chu, King of Guangping.
Li Chu promised that as long as Yin Ziqi surrendered, the incident in Suiyang would be forgotten. At the same time, he appointed Yin Ziqi to continue to serve as the governor of Henan Province, and the Yan army under his command would continue to be under his command.
Yin Ziqi was overjoyed when he heard the letter. Li Tang's court did not promote him openly and covertly, but held a false position and landed him in the capital, under disguised house arrest.
The bargaining chip offered by Li Chu was quite sincere. The Jiedushi of Henan Province was in short supply. Once he became the Jiedushi, the military and political power of Henan Province would be in his own hands, just like the Tu emperor. The difference between him and the Emperor of Li Tang was that,
The emperor is in charge of several roads in the world, but he only manages one road in Henan.
At the same time, Yin Ziqi also received a secret letter from Tian Chengsi. Tian Chengsi hoped that after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he and Yin Ziqi would establish an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly control Henan Province. If the emperor turned against him in the future, the two would join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
This sentence finally made Yin Ziqi put aside all worries. Yin Ziqi thought to himself: "General Tian is right! As long as he is not allowed to hand over his troops, he can rise up and counterattack the Tang Dynasty at any time."
Yin Ziqi had made up his mind and would send his confidants to contact the Tang army tomorrow to discuss the matter of surrender. During this period, he had to appease the morale of the army and at the same time cover it up to avoid the suspicion of An Qingxu's undercover agent hiding in the army.
…
The banquet was very lively, the generals drank and corrected their mistakes, and the demons danced wildly. As the saying goes, in troubled times, there is no tomorrow, and every day of happiness counts.
After his future was secured, Yin Ziqi was in a good mood. The generals proposed a toast, not rejecting anyone who came, and drank several cups in a row.
After three rounds of drinking, Yin Ziqi was a little tipsy. With the support of his own soldiers, he stumbled back to his bedroom. Years of fighting made him extra careful. He had to sleep in a different place every night.
After Yin Ziqi lay down, he didn't know how long he slept. He was in a daze, half asleep and half awake.
"Crack", a sound of thunder woke Yin Ziqi up.
A strong gust of wind blew open the windows and messed up the curtains. The evil wind poured into the bedroom, swirling around and blowing all the pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk to the ground.
"Azhong!" Yin Ziqi called to his own soldiers. He called several times, but no one answered.
"Damn it, he must have sneaked out to feed the cat urine again. After a while, I will send him to the front line as an archery target." Yin Ziqi cursed.
The wind noise became louder and louder, and the cold wind blew open the sleeping tent, freezing to the bone. Yin Ziqi had to get up and walked to the window in person. Yin Ziqi opened the curtains and was about to close the window.
"Ah!" Yin Ziqi exclaimed, his face turned pale with fright.
Outside the window, a dark figure stood coldly, tall and slender, wearing a black cloak, with the cloak covering his head and face, staring at himself in the dark.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Yin Ziqi asked tremblingly.
There was a flash of lightning, and the face in the cloak suddenly appeared!
A pale ghost face, snow-white fangs, a long tongue reaching to the waist, hollow eye sockets, and two streams of blood and tears oozing out.
"Oops!" Yin Ziqi screamed, his soul was shattered, and he died of fright on the spot.
There was a thunder in the sky, covering up the scream. Only the blind beggar sleeping on the street heard the creepy reverberation...
This night was only thirteen days after Yin Ziqi captured Suiyang County.
…
Early on the next morning, hundreds of "living dead" were hung from the city tower of Chenliu County, all of them were generals of the Yan army. The flesh on each person's arms, legs and feet had been removed, leaving only bare tree fork-like arm bones and
Leg bones.
The torso is like a skinned duck, with its flesh and blood opened like fish scales, revealing the dense white bones and internal organs.
What's even more frightening is that none of the people whose flesh and bones were picked are still alive. They can still see their own skeletons and feel the pain that penetrates their bones when they blink.
The 'living dead' swayed in the wind like scarecrows, and the smell of blood attracted crows from miles around to the tower.
The crows circled around and pecked at the 'living dead'. After eating and drinking, they would stop in groups on the shoulders of the 'living dead' and make raucous calls that made people's hair stand on end and shudder.
Exposed to the sun and pecked alive, these hundreds of "living dead" were tortured for three days before they died.
The news spread quickly throughout Henan Province like a plague. Such a brutal death made the generals of the Yan army extremely frightened. The Yan army in Henan Province either surrendered or fled, and within ten days, there were no more survivors.
When Tian Chengsi heard the news of Yin Ziqi's death, he was worried that the secret letter he wrote to Yin Ziqi would be leaked, so he hurriedly fled to Hebei Province with the Yan general Wu Lingxun.
…
The people of Chenliu County killed Yin Ziqi, the puppet envoy of Henan Province, and surrendered the city to the Tang Dynasty.
When the news reached the imperial court, Suzong was overjoyed and appointed Lai Qi, the military envoy of Huainan West Road, as the military envoy of Henan Province to take over Henan Province.
