Chapter 757: Crossing the River (1)
"Report to the king, General Bu sent someone to report, Yingchuan County is too shou Cui Shu, and Xiangcheng County is too shou Zheng Xuancheng to lead the crowd to surrender ......"
The trees fell and scattered, and the grass on the walls began to find their own way out.
And there is no shortage of big surnames in Henan, but Luotuo's phoenix is not as good as a chicken, look, the two Taishou with bright surnames did not change their flags, and went directly to Hongnong County to ask for surrender.
Cui Shu is a native of Yanlingfang, a vein of Yingchuan of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he has been introduced by Cui's family, so there is no need to say much here, just need to know that this thousand-year-old family has been allowed to be the first of the Han surname since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the branches and leaves are all over the banks of the Yellow River, north and south of the river, and it is not surprising to hear their names in the official sequence.
Compared with Cui Shu, Zheng Xuancheng's background is almost the same, Xingyang Zheng's son-in-law, Zheng is also one of the five Han surnames in the world, in contrast, Hedong Pei's is a grade worse, and Jinyang Wang's is at the end of the five major gates.
The two of them are not very old, thirty or forty years old, it is the season when they are in the prime of life and make a difference, and they have always been moving forward with the goal of being an auxiliary minister as their life's goal.
It's also funny to say, their family backgrounds are illustrious, and they have more help than others, but even in such a turbulent season, few of these gate lords are born with the idea of controlling one side and entering the world, but they are still the idea of good birds choosing trees and perching on the absolute upper hand.
On the contrary, most of the grassroots have given birth to vigorous ambitions, and I have to say that people who read more books just lack some sharpness and imagination.
This characteristic is particularly prominent in the people with the Han surname.
But no matter who their surnames are, they are all "nameless" here in Li Po, and they don't have time to pay too much attention to it.
Because Li Po is already very clear about the faces of the disciples of the gate valve and their ideas, and only now that they come to agree, it must be a helpless move in desperation, and he may not have waited and watched for a long time, and how much psychological construction he has done before he came to vote for him, the king of Han.
If it weren't for the fact that he sent troops to choke the transportation artery connecting the east and the west like Hongnong County, it would have been Li Yuan who wanted to vote for the first person in Henan.
The second choice should be Xiao Milling, who is a descendant of Nanliang, and is born with some "imperial spirit", if you don't go to Jiangling to wag your tail, it must be affected by the First Battle of Nanyang, and I feel that Xiao Milling is not so reliable.
Li Po didn't see the two Taishou at all, but he was very sure that his guess was not far from ten, and he was discussing military affairs with Wei Chi and others, and he didn't even see the people sent by Buqun, so he immediately gave Fei Qingnu an order to let Buqun send people to escort people to Jinyang for settlement, and the meaning was also very clear, and he would talk about it when this battle passed.
The handling was swift and perfunctory, and he obviously had already focused on the current war, not realizing what the Yanling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan meant.
And he didn't ask Pei Shiqing, Wang Ze and others for their opinions, so on the night the news reached Hongnong, Cui Shu wanted to take people to escape.
Because Cui Shu and Zheng Xuancheng are not ready to "go deep" into Jinyang, in their opinion, with an identity like them, don't look at the unlucky ones who have begun to eat chaff, but after all, they are the descendants of Cui Zheng, and they can have something to do with Zhou Wu, Jiang Ziya and the like for countless generations.
The deep family heritage makes them think very highly of themselves, and they feel that the officials are all contemptuous and virtuous, not to mention that they will be "escorted" to Jinyang without any promises, are we criminals?
Cui Shu's temper was more impatient than Zheng Xuancheng, and he felt that he had been greatly humiliated, so he wanted to slip away and choose another virtuous master, well, the "smart" Cui Taishou did not want to go back to Yingchuan, but went directly to the west to throw himself into Tongguan Li Jiancheng.
It's a pity, the idea is quite good, but the Cuihan Ancient Road is already all under the surveillance of the Jindi Scouts, dozens of miles away, unless you can fly, don't want to go quietly.
Before dawn, Cui Shu and the others were arrested, looking at Cui Taishou, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and no manners, Zheng Xuancheng was very lucky, he was not as brainless as Lao Cui, otherwise he had suffered a lot, but he hadn't gotten Jinyang to go? Why?
Bu Qun, who was already in a bad mood, was a little annoyed immediately, he didn't care if your surname was Cui or Zheng, it was good to say it, and he wanted to sneak away when he turned his head, what is Lao Tzu here?
If it weren't for the persuasion of Xu Shiji and others, Cui Shu would probably have fallen to the ground, and the rudeness and irritability of the old people under Li Po's command were obviously reflected in this matter.
On the contrary, the later people are generally smarter, which obviously reflects some of the characteristics of Li Po's changes in personnel around him along the way.
The two sons of famous families were "escorted" across the Yellow River without causing any waves, but when they arrived in Jiangxian, they were warmly welcomed by Pei Shiqing and others.
At this time, the war on the side of the Yellow River had begun, and Pei Shiqing did not dare to disturb His Royal Highness the King of Han, but he treated each other well, and finally sent people away, which was regarded as leaving some affection for Pei's family.
This is a typical example of the interaction between the gate valve family, moving out of a name and surname, you can do it all over the world, and you can get many people to respect when you are in trouble, and the survival rate is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
And Li Po really didn't care about Cui Ah Zheng, his eyes were already fixed on the other side, and he wouldn't move any more.
Yun Dingxing, the squire of the Ministry of Works, reported that when everything was ready, Li Po gave an order, and the army rose from the camp in Pusaka and entered the river.
The banks of the Yellow River have long been full of barracks, the front is the infantry army of various guards, the back is the cavalry as a follow-up, almost from the left of Pusaka, all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, are the barracks of the army.
Xuan He came, without any cover-up, but it still made Li Tang feel like he was in a hurry, no way, this can be said to be Li Po's first initiative to attack, Li Tang completely reduced to a passive defensive side, which shows that in the past two years, the changes in the strength of the two families, the change of attack and defense is the most direct proof.
And before the big war, there is one last procedure to go.
The craftsmen have been instructed to build a high platform near the river in the camp, and on this day, all the generals and colonels of the army gathered under the stage, and Wang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, slowly climbed to the top and read the text of the rebellion to the generals in the army.
This is obviously the most flavorful moment since Wang Ze was born, and the essay written with great effort is naturally brilliant, and it is estimated that even if Li Yuan listens to it at this time, he can only hide his face and leave, not daring to stay for a while.
Well, it's a pity that the listeners...... Not many people can understand, and it is in vain that the Wang lord is such a good writer.
After reading out, there was a jagged cheer from the generals, which sounded very enthusiastic, in fact, if you ask them, Xu will have to nag a few words blankly, I think, there is really no need...... Rushing across the river with a knife and cutting off Li Yuan's head is so convenient, what's the use of chattering here? Can Li Yuan really be scared and wipe his neck?
Obviously, this article is not written for the generals to listen to, it is to tell the Quartet that there is a reason for this uprising, and we are on the side of justice.
This is what the world said, the division is famous, and most of the generals don't care about this, but the princes care, and the children of the gate lords care more about the righteous name.
As for how much actual effect it has, in fact, it still depends on the results of this battle, and now, it is mainly because the Jinyang Wang clan has shown his willingness to tie himself to the warship, which is equivalent to something like a name.
Li Po didn't go up and make any more incendiary speeches, which was not necessary at all.
Now, everyone knows that King Han is in the army, no longer like Yang Guang back then, he has to show his dignity and distinctiveness, the vanity of the king is generally very strong, but it must not be overdone.
If it is like a show, in the eyes of the people of the world, it is likely to become a laughing stock, rather than gaining the respect of everyone.
Li Po just called the six Weifu generals in front of him, and said to them in a deep voice, "Okay, everything is ready, let's see if the heroes of Kansai are still as invincible as they were back then." ”
The generals hammered their chests, except for Yuwen Wok, who was a little uncomfortable, everyone else was high-spirited, and their hearts were like kicking a flame, boiling hot.
It is indeed everything ready, whether it is the grain, grass and ordnance in the rear, or the generals and soldiers in the front, they are all ready for a big battle.
The only thing that made Li Po a little uneasy was that across the Yellow River, once the two armies faced each other, the news on the other side was completely cut off, and since he started his army, he had always been prepared and unprepared, unlike the current war, where it was almost impossible to detect the movement on the other side.
But no matter what, Li Po believes that victory belongs to him......
………………………………
On April 12, the weather was fine, but the fighting on the east and west banks of the Yellow River began on this day.
A team of Jindi soldiers stepped on the river beach, they belonged to the Right Tun Wei Mansion, and they were Wei Chixin's subordinates, and it was not someone else who led them to cross the river in advance, it was Wei Chixin's younger brother Wei Chikai.
The left and right guards are the two most elite infantry troops, and most of the infantry soldiers among them are Hebei and Shandong, if you let the serious Guanxi nobles evaluate, then they are undoubtedly the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
And these two places are indeed places where elite soldiers are produced, which is also Li Po's old foundation, since the establishment of Yunnei, which is full of veterans of the expedition to Liaodong.
The Tang army on the other side has already arrived, and at this time they have come out of the camp one after another, and set up an array at the beachhead of the Yellow River, and a big banner with Li characters is waving in the wind, and I don't know if Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, has arrived in person.
None of this mattered, the soldiers on both sides of the strait confronted each other across the Yellow River, staring at each other, releasing their murderous aura in the warm spring breeze and the slight smell of the Yellow River.
The world was slaughtered, as if even the air had gradually condensed, and the soldiers clenched their swords and guns, waiting for the blood to flow, whether it was their own or the enemy's......
(Ah Cao is going to have a small operation tomorrow, and I don't know if I can keep it updated after surgery, well, a very small operation, it should be uncomfortable for two or three days, depending on the situation.) )
