March in Saimen is still desolate, even though there are weeping willows, spring is not yet felt!
It’s also strange.
Around the beginning of spring, the wind was still warm and the sun was still warm at the foot of Helan Mountain. The snow was still melting and flowing. But now that it is the beginning of summer, the fields are already green, but the north wind is blowing and heavy snow is falling.<
/p>
A dozen horses stood under the wall, all piled up into snowballs. If they moved occasionally, the snow on their fur would "swirly" fall down.
A group of personal guards accompanied Li Chengzhi, standing on Guancheng and looking southward. They were shaped like bottles of snowmen.
This is Yinchuan in later generations, and at the foot is the Great Wall of Qin that has been abandoned for many years.
This place was originally Liziyuan, a military town of Daxia Kingdom. It was an important town for garrisoning troops and grain. After Daxia was destroyed by the Wei Dynasty, Liziyuan was abandoned, and the later Yuan Dynasty and Wei Dynasty resettled it on the south bank of the Yellow River, eighty miles southwest.
Gulu Town, to control Shule in the west that has surrendered, and to control Rouran in the north.
After Yu Jing's uprising, he was given the guidance of Li Chengzhi, and the place was reopened by Gao Meng, the governor of Xiazhou. Chen moved his troops to prevent Rouran from entering the Pass, or from Beizhen being led by rebellious people like the Lu Shi brothers.
The army went south and joined forces with Bo Jilu and Gao Ping's rebels...
The wind and snow were so heavy that Li Chengzhi stared for a long time without seeing anything. Just as he was about to get off the wall, he saw Li Rui galloping to the bottom of the wall and announced loudly: "Lang Jun, Gao Jishi has arrived at Guancheng..."
It came pretty quickly?
Li Chengzhi nodded: "Please, please call me and I will be waiting in the tent!"
After confessing orally, Li Chengzhi has already climbed down the city wall in a leisurely manner.
Now, it is nearly half a month since Chencang's victory, and it has been ten days since Li Chengzhi led his army to the north.
But the strange thing is that Li Chengzhi left the Chinese army in Jingzhou to help Xi Kangsheng quell the chaos. But he personally brought tens of thousands of state soldiers to help Bo Gulu?
The truth made Gao Meng puzzled: If you don't bring the Chinese army, what are you going to do with the state soldiers from Guanzhong? Do you think my Xiazhou's food supply is too much?
In fact, there is no need for Li Chengzhi to come to his rescue.
After Chencang's great victory, the imperial court sent Minister Cui Guang as an envoy to Guanzhong to reward the army. It is not known whether Cui Shangshu rewarded the army, but the first thing he did when he arrived in Guanzhong was to suggest that Li Chengzhi pass the mission to Guanzhong and Beizhen: He ordered the heads of Yu Zhong, Yuan Ji, Hou Gang and the following rebel generals to be made of lime, and then mounted on the flagpole. He rushed eight hundred miles, dispatched fast horses, and spread the word to several states in Guanzhong and Guanzhong.
Towns in the North.
The first is to serve as a warning to others, so that young people with wandering minds and secret ambitions can take warning. The second is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, causing the enemy to be in chaos before fighting, and to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Sure enough, on the second day after Li Chengzhi left Gaoping and headed for Bogulu, the Gaoping rebels suddenly heard the bad news and rebelled in the city. They killed the town general Yan Ti and the deputy general Lu Gong and surrendered.
In another two days, news of the civil strife in Gaoping came back to Bogulu. Although they did not collapse without a fight like Gaoping, the morale of the rebels in the city had plummeted.
Every late at night, there would be rebels. The townspeople hung ropes off the city wall, escaped from the city, and rebelled down to the camp of the officers and soldiers besieging the city.
In the first two days, there were only dozens or hundreds of soldiers. From the third day on, nearly a thousand rebel soldiers came to surrender every day.
It can be seen that the hearts of the people in the city are floating?
Gao Meng estimated that if the siege continued for at least three to five days, more than half of the rebels in the city would be able to escape. By then, Yu Jing would either surrender the city or die.
Therefore, whether Li Chengzhi comes or not, this battle will be won...
It’s not that Gao Meng is afraid of Li Chengzhi taking credit.
Li Chengzhi is still the rebel marshal and the governor of the five states, so whether he comes or not, Li Chengzhi's main contribution to the capture of Bogu Lüdu is indispensable.
Gao Meng just feels guilty...
After thinking about it, I realized that I had arrived inside Guancheng, but it was actually just a larger beacon tower, which was enough to station Li Chengzhi's commander's tent.
And those tens of thousands of "armies" were all stationed in the north of the city. Gao Meng took a look when he passed by. Not to mention swords and armor, there were not even a few flags, and they were noisy like a herd of sheep.
This is not a state soldier, the troops are just a group of newly attached criminals...
Suspicious in his heart, Gao Meng called Bing outside the tent and was led into the tent by Li Rui.
Calculating carefully, it was only three months since the two of them met last time. At that time, Gao Meng was extremely sad, thinking that he had long expected that Li Chengzhi would definitely be someone other than Wu Xia Amen, but this was not the case.
He came to the fore too quickly: a year ago, he was still a white man, and a year later, he was already a county prince?
But now that we see each other again, Gao Meng is no longer filled with emotion, but is horrified.
Whether it is in Yuwoye City, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, or in Qizhou or Chencang, no matter which one of these battles is won, one will be famous for centuries and remain famous in history.
And Li Chengzhi only spent half a year?
Every time he thought about what his uncle Gao Zhaoyu said in his secret letter, Gao Meng couldn't help but feel his heart tremble slightly: Those who are given by God will be helped by God...
"Brother Jinglue, are you okay?"
Li Chengzhi smiled and cupped his hands, very casually. But Gao Meng didn't dare to show off at all, and bowed his head respectfully: "Gao Meng has seen the commander-in-chief!"
He really didn't expect this, and Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
A few months ago, when he first arrived in Xiazhou, Gao Meng was very affectionate but not respectful enough.
First, Gao Meng is also a hereditary prince, and he is also a prince-in-law, so the two are just as good as each other. Second, they are relatives by marriage, so there is no need to be so polite.
But if we meet again today, it will be completely different?
Ultimately, it is because the Battle of Guanzhong was so shocking that it made people think and fear.
Regardless of Li Shao, he is still a generation older than Li Chengzhi, but no matter privately or publicly, everyone respects him.
Looking at Cui Guang again, I have a close personal relationship with him. I have always regarded him as a close junior. He is never polite and laughs and curses freely. But this time when we meet again, he is respectful in every way.
Sure enough, only those who take fame from horses are heroes...
Li Chengzhi sighed secretly and lifted Gao Meng up: "You and I, brothers, why do you need to do this?"
"There is order from top to bottom, and etiquette cannot be discarded!"
Gao Meng replied politely before sitting down behind the case.
One of them was hiding his secrets, and the other was guilty of committing crimes. So after being polite, they seemed to have nothing to say.
The atmosphere in the tent was a bit dull, and even Li Rui and others felt something strange.
"Everyone, please step back!"
Li Chengzhi waved his hand and said, "I'm on alert three feet away. Don't disturb me without any reason!"
The bodyguard respectfully accepted the promise and frowned fiercely.
Is this clearly a posture of wanting to talk in secret?
It’s even less certain...it’s an attack on the enemy...
Just when Yu was suspicious, Li Chengzhi asked quietly: "Sikong should give you a secret: If there are changes in Guanzhong, you will respond to Xiazhou, right?"
Like a thunderbolt from the sky, Gao Meng's face suddenly turned pale.
Why do you think he suddenly was so in awe of Li Chengzhi?
Just because you are afraid of something, you will come...
"Are you confused? Who can I respond to?"
He gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm: "Now that the Queen Mother is taking the throne, even if the whole world rebels, I, the Gao family, will never rebel!"
