Chapter Seventy-One: The Frightened Bird

The Tang Army Mountain came with a tsunami, and the lights and camps in the area outside the city for several miles became An Qingxu's trouble. As the night wore on, he became more and more restless. The Tang army attacked the city twice at night, and almost became a prisoner of the Tang army twice, especially the time in Shaanzhou City, which was almost nine deaths, and the psychological shadow caused to him was indelible in this life.

After thinking about it, An Qingxu still recruited Sun Xiaozhe to discuss countermeasures with him.

"Now that there are less than 10,000 soldiers in Michi, if the Tang army attacks at night, how can we?"

To tell the truth, Sun Xiaozhe also used tricks against the Tang army, and he was good at attacking cities at night, and he had a headache, and after hearing An Qingxu's worries, he was also speechless.

"There can be a very good way, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the soil, the pond is not as easy as Kip Stone and Shaanzhou, it is not so easy to be attacked, Your Highness is a little restless!"

After several temptations, Sun Xiaozhe did not let go, An Qingxu was discouraged for a while, it seemed that it was impossible for this person to clearly support his proposal to withdraw his troops, so he could only start from the two town generals in Mianchi.

After sending Sun Xiaozhe away, An Qingxu immediately arranged for someone to invite the two towns to discuss matters in the future. Although the two town generals scolded An Qingxu in the background, they could only be respectful when they saw him.

An Qingxu got straight to the point and went straight to the topic.

"The Tang army is strong, and if Michi is an enemy, I am afraid that the jade will be burned. ”

Among them, the general surnamed Wang Zhen's face was frosty, and asked: "I don't know His Highness's intentions when I go down, so I beg to make it clear." ”

Sun Xiaozhe took the lead in addressing An Qingxu with "His Royal Highness", so many people in the army did not know that they followed the title of "His Highness". After An Lushan ascended the throne on the first day of the capital, An Qingxu will be crowned the crown prince sooner or later, so what's wrong with calling His Royal Highness a few times now?

Another general surnamed Li was much weaker, bowed down and said, "Go down and do everything for His Highness's order!"

An Qingxu pretended to nod, "Okay! Then let's make it clear, the momentum of the Tang army is too great, I suggest that the army be reorganized immediately, and while the Tang army can't react, let's withdraw from Michi overnight." ”

Evacuate the pond?

Wang and Li, the two town generals, opened their mouths wide in surprise, no one expected that such words would actually come from An Qingxu's mouth. You must know that giving up the city voluntarily requires the same punishment as the defeat of the battle. gave up Michi, so who will bear the thunderous wrath of An Lushan?

An Qingxu seemed to see through their thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Are you two worried, who will be responsible?" Please rest assured, since the proposal came from An Mou, it is naturally borne by An Mou. All you have to do is nod your head, or shake your head!"

General Wang surnamed Zhen did not agree to withdraw the troops, after all, Cui Qianyou is still in the west life and death is uncertain, if he withdraws the troops and gives up Michi, it is equivalent to giving up Cui Qianyou, although he also thinks that it is not wise to sit in the city with thousands of soldiers, but if he gives up the main general who has followed him for many years so easily, it is really difficult to accept it emotionally.

"There is a reluctant request to go down, if you wait until General Cui returns, you will withdraw the army immediately!"

And the general surnamed Li completely looked at the face of the general surnamed Wang, and when he saw that he hesitated, the tone of his speech became blurred.

"Go down, go down and think that His Highness's words are completely reasonable, and what Wang Zhenjiang said is also reasonable, all right, all right!"

Bang!

An Qingxu patted the table in front of him without warning, "Give me a toast and don't eat and drink, right, to tell you the truth, Cui Qianyou was captured by the Tang army as early as Shaanzhou, the reason why this news has been triggered is because General Sun has said, if it is clear at this time, it will affect the morale of the army, and now that our Yan army has been defeated again and again, there is still a military heart to speak of, so I simply opened the lid and let everyone know it!"

An Qingxu's words were too shocking, and the two town generals didn't know what to do for a while, they couldn't imagine that with Cui Qianyou's good fighting, they would be captured alive by the strawdog-like Tang Junsheng. But the facts are indeed suspicious, and it has been very abnormal to not contact Mianchi for ten consecutive days, and now the 20,000 troops sent out by Mianchi have also been wiped out, and all kinds of suspicions point the finger at the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army.

But the general surnamed Wang was still fantasizing and asked: "This matter is based on the words of His Royal Highness, please forgive me for not believing it!"

An Qingxu was as irritable as thunder, "Bird! Believe it or not, General Sun and I escaped death under the mouth of the Tang Army, if you don't believe it, ask him!"

Wang and Li hesitated again, they also knew some details, An Qingxu and Sun Xiaozhe had not dealt with each other before, but they didn't know why they got together this time. Intuition told them that Sun Xiaozhe's words should still be reliable, although the reputation of the widow is not good, but it is always better than this stupid An Qingxu.

So An Qingxu sent someone to recruit Sun Xiaozhe again, and asked: "Did General Sun advise me not to inform the generals of General Cui's news before, just so as not to affect the morale of the army when the enemy is present?"

Sun Xiaozhe was confused, he did say everything about An Qingxu, but how could An Qingxu take the initiative to leak the bottom again?

"I did say that since you already know Sun, there is nothing to hide!"

An Qingxu looked at Wang Li and the others with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?

Wang Li and the others, you look at me, I look at you, they made eye contact for a long time, and finally sighed:

"Withdraw your troops. His Highness has set a charter, when to withdraw it, and how to withdraw it!"

An Qingxu pouted, "That's not easy, start withdrawing troops now, before the time passes, you must leave quietly, and let the Tang army eat an empty city early tomorrow morning!"

Thinking of the angry appearance of the Tang army commander tomorrow when he saw that there was only an empty city left in Michi, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. What's more, under the nose of the Tang Army, An Qingxu really couldn't sleep, for fear that he would take the old road again, and after being attacked by the city at night, he would flee for his life like a lost dog!

The two town generals took the order, but Sun Xiaozhe's face was gloomy, he understood that he must have been used by An Qingxu.

An Qingxu stepped forward and patted Sun Xiaozhe on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, our substitute ghost has already been found, as long as the army retreats, I will immediately go to my father and emperor to punish Cui Qianyou and his generals for their great crimes!"

Seeing An Qingxu's smiling face blooming, Sun Xiaozhe felt as disgusting as eating a fly. He really wants to defeat Cui Qianyou, but instead of using such a despicable method of pain for relatives and quick for enemies, he wants to be upright and frank to become a victorious general admired by everyone.

However, the creation of the world has always made people, but it is a pity that Sun Xiaozhe's ambition is reported to stupid pigs like An Qingxu. But no matter how unwilling he is, what is the way? Now he is tightly tied to An Qingxu, like a grasshopper tied at both ends of a rope, and no one can escape this dead rope.

Okay, just withdraw it, anyway, you don't have to bear the blame yourself.

After a night's effort, the defenders of Michi were withdrawn cleanly.

In the darkness, Qin Jin's eyes never left the pond, but he had been waiting patiently, waiting for the rebels to withdraw cleanly. He led the army to Mianchi, just to fight the autumn wind, and by the way, to scare An Qingxu, Sun Xiaozhe and others. Which Cheng thought that in the middle of the night, the rebels began to secretly withdraw their troops, Qin Jin shouted, God really helped me.

In this way, a city at your fingertips is comparable to being hit in the head by a pie falling from the sky, or stepping on dog shit while walking. In short, the battle of Shaanzhou was fought smoothly and with good luck. Presumably, the rebels left in a hurry, and there will definitely be a lot of materials left in Michi City that cannot be taken away, which can be looted and taken away together, and now his 10,000 people finally don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

After dawn, the rebels withdrew cleanly, and Qin Jin ordered the army to send half of the men and horses into the city to loot the treasury grain, if there are still people in the city, they can all be taken away, and the city, the people, and the grain cannot be left to the rebels.

In fact, wherever the rebels went, they caught strong men and killed people indiscriminately, and most of the people could not bear to let Hu Lu **, so they fled south with their families, but there were also wealthy families who were reluctant to let go of the wealth accumulated by generations in the clan, so they slipped away, but the families who were also persecuted were ruined. If you ask these people if they hate the Fanhu rebels, the response they get may be four words: "blood debt and blood payment"!

As Qin and Jin expected, Mianchi, as the main foothold of the rebels to the west of Luoyang, did transport a lot of grain, and when they left, they neither took it with them nor burned it. This greatly cheapened Qin Jin.

No matter how much it was, it was all loaded into carts and taken away, and if the oxen and horse carts could not be loaded, they let the infantry and cavalry load a bag of corn, and even then there was still a lot of grain left.

Looking at these grains, Qin Jin was extremely reluctant in his heart, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Time cannot be delayed, or Zheng Xianli persuaded him: "The battle formation is like this, there is no choice, since you can't take it away, burn it!"

Qin Jin resolutely turned around and waved his hand, the fire oil sprayed up one after another, and the torches were thrown on top of the granary one by one, and the fire immediately burned fiercely, and it was impossible to save it in just a moment.

The people in Michichong were much more seriously harmed by the rebels than Kipshi, and the strong men in the city, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, were all dragged into the army to be people's husbands, so that only less than 500 old and weak women and children are still alive and left. Even the young women were not left of a few, and the slightest appearance was raped by the wolf-like soldiers, and the prostitution was dead and alive, and there were countless who committed suicide due to humiliation.

"Let's go, let's go, what are the nostalgias? It's a nightmare to stay here!"

A septuagenarian trembled, watching his self-growing and old home become such a hell on earth, and before he could finish his words, he had already cried bitterly.

He originally had a hundred acres of fertile land, his family did not have to worry about food and clothing, and his children and grandchildren were full of people. However, all this was broken by the sudden arrival of the Fanhu rebels, and several sons and grandsons in the prime of life were robbed by the surnamed Cui to be strong men. The young daughter-in-law and daughter who were a little beautiful were also taken away and became camp prostitutes who killed a thousand knives and evil ghosts.

If it weren't for the fact that his six-year-old grandson was his only concern, there would have been no room for nostalgia in this world. For the sake of this fruitful only surviving bloodline grandson, he even did not hesitate to leave this hometown land that gave birth to him for more than 70 years.

Seeing the flames burst out, the entire Michi City quickly fell into a sea of fire. The old man stopped crying. I tried to imprint the vague hometown scene in my mind, but I couldn't do it anyway, and the muddy tears kept pouring out of the dry old eyes, like beads with broken threads, crackling and falling, and before they could fall to the ground, they were blown into ice beads by the biting wind.
