As we mentioned earlier, Li Yuan named his son Li Yuanji as the governor of Bingzhou and went to Bingzhou to exterminate Liu Wuzhou, but Li Yuan did not give his son a deadline for departure. Because according to the previous practice, such a small-scale battle is usually ready to be started in three days, without warning.

However, what made Li Yuan very annoyed was that half a month had passed, and when Li Yuan inquired about the battle ahead, he heard that Li Yuanji was still in the palace and had not left!

Li Yuan was stunned, why hadn't he set off for so long, was he sick or had something wrong, so he rushed to Li Yuanji's mansion to visit him with his father's concern.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Li Yuan's nose was crooked, there were mountains of things piled up in the yard, everyone was busy, and Li Yuanji was crossing his waist and kept commanding.

These furniture should be carried carefully, and you can use inferior things!

And these ingredients are also brought with you, by the way, are the chefs ready?

Little three, little four, why are you two so slow, otherwise I would have taken other concubines?

Li Yuan hates that iron does not become steel, this is to go to war, what does it mean to travel lightly, what is this and bring its own furniture? couldn't help but roar, Li Yuanji turned his head suddenly, but saw that his father's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and he knelt down with a puff of fright.

Li Yuan was very annoyed, and immediately became suspicious of this son, and even had the idea of changing generals. It's just that some people around me say that if you change generals in battle, I'm afraid that the army's morale is unstable, and King Qi is young in the end, and he can become a talent with a few more experiences.

Li Yuan ordered with a cold face that Li Yuanji must get out of the palace within one hour. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

When Li Yuan sent someone to inquire, he heard that the King of Qi really left the palace with tens of thousands of troops in one hour, and he looked good. Very powerful.

Li Yuan finally showed a smile, in fact, the subordinates also reported good news and not bad news, Li Yuanji took five or six concubines to set off together, and walked all the way, and the treasures he brought fell all the way, which was like a general who led troops to fight. To put it mildly. This is not as good as the culture of the people and the time of escape, so that the family is tied up and the property is strong, and a few people like Li Yuanji are so light on money.

Wait until Li Yuanji arrives. The furniture made of cherished wood is basically unusable, and the porcelain is also bumped and thrown away, and I am annoyed, I have known this for a long time. Then bring nothing!

Liu Wuzhou was very frightened when he heard that the King of Qi had personally led his troops to come. gave birth to the intention of retiring the army, after all, the Tang army is the army of the king, and its prestige is far and wide, and his own strength is really not enough for the other party to cut and kill.

Just when Liu Wuzhou was frowning, Song Jingang, the general of the Yizhou rebel army who was defeated by Dou Jiande, came to him with thousands of soldiers.

Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed, he had long heard that this Song Jingang was a handsome talent. is very good at using soldiers, and only more than 10,000 people dominate one side. So he immediately received him happily in person, and rewarded him with countless treasures, and the two called him brother and brother, which was very speculative.

This Song Jingang is also a careerist, and he feels that Liu Wuzhou has the support of the Turks and will become a great weapon in the future, so he simply said that his daughter-in-law died on the way and wanted to marry Liu Wuzhou's sister. Liu Wuzhou was even more happy, and immediately agreed, and the two really became a veritable family.

Afterwards, Song Jingang ruthlessly drove away his original partner and did not mention it.

Getting a general is enough to make Liu Wuzhou happy, and this Song Jingang also brings more good news to Liu Wuzhou.

"Big brother, don't look at this Qi King Li Yuanji is menacing, in fact, he is a drunken man, and he is vulnerable." Song Jingang was anxious to make meritorious service and immediately said.

Liu Wuzhou looked a little hesitant and said: "Having said that, the Tang army is as talented as a cloud, and the strength of the army is several times that of mine, how can a hard battle be won?" ”

"Presumably the eldest brother has heard that the most skilled soldier in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Li Yuan underestimated the enemy and handed over this military power to the King of Qi, who had no combat experience and only knew how to spend time and wine, just to make him make meritorious service. ”

"Why does Li Yuan like this son so much?"

"Definitely!" Song Jingang broke the mechanism in one sentence: "This King of Qi is loyal to the prince, and Li Yuan's support for Li Yuanji is actually equivalent to supporting the prince." ”

"Oh, virtuous brother Gaojian!" Liu Wuzhou's eyes lit up, as if he saw a bright future, and his fighting spirit skyrocketed instantly.

After some conspiracy between the two, Song Jingang thought that with Liu Wuzhou's talent and virtue, it was really condescending to just stay in this small place of Mayi, and he should conquer Jinyang and then fight for the world in the south!

Liu Wuzhou was as excited as if he had been beaten, and Song Jingang was not deliberately complimented, if the Tang Dynasty sent Li Shimin to come, he would definitely advocate withdrawing the army immediately, avoiding its edge and preserving its strength.

And now Li Yuanji, who is not successful, is tantamount to a God-given opportunity, how can he give up easily?

What made Liu Wuzhou and others even more overjoyed was that Li Yuanji couldn't stand the suffering of the bumps, walked for one day and rested for two days, complaining for days, plus either this concubine had diarrhea, or the pet cat ran away, and the marching speed was comparable to that of a snail.

Li Yuanji did not dare to blindly delay the fighters, so he simply sent Zhang Daxian, the general of the chariot cavalry, to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to deter him.

"King Qi, our army is tired, but the other party is comfortably defending the city, it is not suitable to attack it!" Zhang Da raised his objection, and the implication was that he wanted to ride a horse over, not only fast, but also to conserve physical strength, so that he could fight to the death with him at that time.

Only then did Li Yuanji remember that the second child seemed to have told him that the cavalry would arrive first and the idea of a quick battle. But when you look back at that big trip, you have to use horse-drawn horses.

If you want to hand over all the war horses to Zhang Da, you can't let your subordinates push their shoulders with their hands, right?

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said: "If General Zhang has to win, as long as it can show the prestige of my Tang Army, if it can scare it back without a fight, it will be better!" ”

"But the King of Qi ......"

"Hugh has to delay the fighter, retreat quickly!" Li Yuanji immediately put on a straight face, Zhang Da was so helpless that he had to obey his orders and ordered the soldiers to speed up and run forward!

One can imagine how tired these soldiers must have been when they ran to the state. Zhang Da originally planned to rest and recuperate after arriving at his destination, but when he passed through a canyon, he suddenly made a killing sound.

Zhang Da hurriedly commanded the troops to resist stubbornly, but there were countless arrows, stones and torches thrown from the heights, these foot soldiers were already tired and their combat ability was extremely poor, not to mention that in the face of a surprise attack, they immediately became chaotic, and there were countless people who were holding their heads and running away.

Zhang Da personally killed several deserters, trying to set an example, but at this time, who still listened to him, the army became vulnerable, and in less than an hour, the vanguard army led by Song Jingang killed nearly 10,000 people, ran thousands, and the rest of the people took the initiative to disarm and surrender and became Liu Wuzhou's subordinates.

Zhang Da fought bravely to kill the enemy, but in the end he was hit by several arrows and died on the spot.

Liu Wu and Zhou Dale immediately announced that Song Jingang was crowned as the Great Xingtai of Southwest Province and crowned King of Song. Immediately afterwards, Liu Wuzhou was about to set up a banquet to celebrate, but was rejected by Song Jingang, at this time the morale was greatly boosted, just when Li Yuanji's main army had not yet arrived, he took advantage of the victory and captured the state.

Liu Wuzhou nodded again and again, and immediately handed over 30,000 elite soldiers to Song Jingang, which was equivalent to most of his family resources, and ordered him to attack and merge the state. Song Jingang was grateful, immediately kowtowed, and solemnly stated that he would follow Liu Wuzhou in this life and never change his mind!

It didn't take long for Liu Wuzhou's army to attack Yuci, Pingyao, Jiezhou and other places one after another, capturing nearly 50,000 troops and a lot of property.

Li Yuanji, who was still laughing with his concubines on the road, heard the news that Zhang Da was killed, he was so frightened that he almost rolled off the carriage, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Zhang Da led 20,000 soldiers, although he did not ensure victory, but he should have fled back to most of the defeated battle, why did he end up like this?" ”

Without waiting for the Tanma to return, a woman dressed in fancy clothes said disdainfully: "It must be that Zhang Da who was greedy for merit, not to mention his own life, and lost 20,000 people, it is really the nine clans of the Zhulian clan!" ”

Tan Ma was angry, and said in a loud voice: "King Qi, General Zhang was ambushed by Liu Wuzhou, and fought bloodily, with dozens of arrows and countless knife wounds in his body, just like a bloody man. ”

Tanma said and shed tears, but the woman covered her mouth and nose in disgust, the weather is getting hotter, and she has no appetite, but she still says these disgusting words. Displeased: "If that Zhang Da is raised, doesn't it mean that our King Qi is incompetent." You're so confused, don't get out of here! ”

That's right, Li Yuanji was amnesty, happily took his concubine's hand, put it to his mouth and took two mouthfuls, "I also said that you are thoughtful, no matter what the war ahead, this king can't be wrong!" ”

Then Li Yuanji also wrote a memora himself, only saying that Zhang Da did not obey the army's orders, insisted on fighting, and ended up with the annihilation of the whole army.

When the news reached the government and the opposition, Li Yuan was furious and scolded Zhang Da for not taking King Qi into account, using troops without authorization, and taking the blame for himself.

"Father, General Zhang has followed his father for more than ten years, born and died, loyal, Jinyang raised troops, General Zhang is even more saddle before and after the horse, because he is too busy, vomiting blood several times, but never resting. Father, others don't know, doesn't my father still know General Zhang? Li Shimin said, and tears fell.

Some people in the army in the same dynasty also secretly felt sad, Lao Zhang did not listen to the military order, and killed them who did not believe it.

"This piece of music was written by the fourth brother himself, will the fourth brother still frame Zhang Da?" Li Jiancheng said unhappily.

"I don't know if I'm mistaken." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"The fourth brother is closer to the front line than you, have you also learned from Yuan Ziyan the ability to pinch and calculate?" Li Jiancheng scoffed.

"Well, don't say any more. Zhang Danai is a veteran hero of our dynasty, and he will reward his family with ten taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver, and give him a thick burial. Li Yuan finally said. Although Zhang Da was not punished, in the eyes of a general of Zhang Da's level, it was better not to give this reward, which was really insulting.

Afterwards, Li Shimin took out his own 100 taels of gold, put it in that share, and sent it to Zhang Da's family. This move made Yuan Ziyan sigh, and sometimes the feelings of comrades-in-arms were a little more cordial than that of their own brothers. (To be continued......)
