Chapter 38: Plotting Fuso
When Tang Xizong knew that his herald was detained by Tang Zhangwei, he was angry at first, and he ordered Jiang Da, Xue Hongshan, Tu Daya, Xue Wuyan and others to come again with long Laos, plate axes, halberds and iron plates to deliver the holy decree again.
Princess Suining saw that her lover and brother were on the bar, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Tang Zhangwei was not in a hurry to reconcile with Emperor Tang Xizong, he said to Princess Suining: "Now that the Holy Lord is angry, I can only have a good talk with him when he calms down." ”
Tian Lingzi said angrily: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, we will immediately send an army to encircle and suppress that Tang Zhangwei, this guy is really too much." ”
Tang Xizong calmed down instead, he said: "I am also at fault, I don't dare to fight with Tang Zhangwei, we are all thinking about the future of the Tang Dynasty, but the methods are different." ”
The atmosphere suddenly eased down, although they shouted and shouted to kill just now, in fact, Tian Lingzi knew that they could not fight against Tang Zhangwei's 80,000 army just by relying on the little soldiers and horses they had at hand.
What's more, Tang Zhangwei's troops are still increasing, and in the territory under his control, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and people only know that there is General Tang, but they don't know that there is an emperor.
As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the Jin Wuwei around Tang Xizong always instigated Tang Xizong to cut down the domain.
However, those straw bag generals and officials of the Tang Dynasty who were vegetarian did not have the ability to settle the arrogant generals in various places.
This Tang Zhangwei was different from the previous generals, he was kind to the people, resolutely fought against the thieves and the Huangchao rebels in the territory, and at the same time established a whole set of ruling systems.
These methods are somewhat deviant, but they are effective.
When the envoy of Tang Xizong's reconciliation came to Tang Zhangwei's military camp, Tang Zhangwei released all eight palace masters.
Before these people left, Tang Zhangwei arched his hand and said: "Everyone, you have been wronged, who knows that you are really the personal guard of the Son of Heaven!" In the past, in my mind, the Son of Heaven's personal guards were all god-like figures, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Jiang Da, Xue Hongshan, Tu Daya, Xue Wuyan and others were embarrassed on the contrary, they were full of shame, as if they had lost people to Tang Xizong because they were not magnificent enough.
Tang Zhangwei said: "Pass my order, set off immediately, 30,000 cavalry will be the first to break through the city, and 50,000 infantry will follow, and consolidate the position." ”
Bai Cunxiao was majestic, he rushed to the front with a hundred elite heavily armored knights, and the men and horses of the Yellow Nest saw them rushing over, and hurriedly shot arrows at them, but these tricks were useless.
These heavily armored cavalry rushed through, and the Yellow Nest rebels on the opposite side were either raised high by their spears or turned into pieces of meat, and the death of these unlucky eggs made the rebels feel deep fear.
At the same time, Tang Zhangwei's troops poured into Chang'an City in an iron stream, and Tang Zhuzhen's soldiers gathered the Beijing division from all directions.
Li Keyong received the support of the troops of Hezhong and Zhongwu Town, and Wang Jian's 30,000 elite soldiers joined, and finally Tang Zhangwei's 80,000 troops entered, laying the final victory.
Huang Chao burst into tears, and Huang Yu persuaded him: "Holy Lord, we still have 150,000 elite soldiers, so it's better for us to launch Chang'an!" ”
Huang Chao had already had this intention, and he said to the generals: "What Huang Kuo said is very true, we should not defend Chang'an, we will jump out of the encirclement of the Tang army, come to a big detour, sooner or later we will occupy here again." ”
Before leaving, Huang Chao ordered the army to set fire.
The entire city of Chang'an was surrounded by a sea of fire, Tang Zhangwei immediately ordered the soldiers to carry water to put out the fire, while Li Ke's Shatuo army took the opportunity to cover and kill Huang Chao's army.
Huang Chao bluffed, saying that he was going to Xuzhou, but in fact, he entered Shangshan through Lantian Pass. This place is in the east of present-day Shangxian County, Shaanxi.
In the retreat, Huang Chao's army abandoned the baggage and precious goods on the road, Li Keyong took the lead in leading the troops to attack, and after the Shatuo official army looted in Chang'an, they scrambled to pick up the property discarded by the Huang Chao army on the road, and no longer pursued.
Huang Chao said proudly: "I will use a little trick and leave the whole army, it seems that the destiny of heaven is mine, and sooner or later Datang will be destroyed by my Daqi." ”
Tang Xizong, escorted by the Ten Tigers and Eight Dragons, entered Chang'an City.
At this time in Chang'an, the burning of buildings choked people almost out of breath.
Tang Xizong said to Zhongguan Tian Lingzi: "Why is this Tang Zhangwei so slow to fight the fire?" ”
Bai Cunxiao asked Tang Zhangwei: "Why don't we pursue, I am willing to lead a hundred horse troops to fight against the Huangchao army." ”
Tang Zhangwei smiled and said, "In the future, we will have time to let you get over the addiction of that heavy cavalry." Now, let's go to the emperor first. ”
When Bai Cunxiao and the others saw the emperor, Tang Xizong was choked and sneezed.
