Chapter 31: Xuanzhou City Breaks
Tang Zhangwei is not a pedantic person, he saw the Luoyang swordsman Min Dulu stepping forward, and hurriedly said: "Min Daxia, help me catch this madman together." ”
Luoyang swordsman Min Dulu immediately jumped forward and drew his sword to help.
Ge Congzhou was defeated and retreated under the attack of the two, and several masters from the Shannan Dongdao Intelligence Department also came.
Yan Hua took advantage of Ge Congzhou's unpreparedness and used a stone to sneak attack the back of his head, and Ge Congzhou hurriedly avoided the wind behind his head when he heard it.
At this time, several archers from the Intelligence Division shot poisoned arrows designed to capture the assassins.
The arrows of the Intelligence Department were smeared with poison and anesthetics on the arrows, and after Ge Congzhou's arrows, he suddenly felt weak and fell to the ground.
The crowd immediately held Ge Congzhou down and tied him up in a strong knot.
Everyone carried Ge Congzhou for interrogation, and Tang Zhangwei hurriedly helped Princess Suining up.
Princess Suining asked Tang Zhangwei: "I'm not in a dream!" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "No! ”
Wei Wan'er stepped forward and helped pick up Princess Suining.
Princess Suining was frightened, and she couldn't get better when she was sick.
Tang Zhangwei specially invited a famous doctor for her treatment, but the famous doctor could not cure her.
For this reason, Tang Zhangwei had a headache, and he hoped that Princess Suining would get better as soon as possible.
At this time, Tang Xizong found out that his sister had eloped, and he was very annoyed and said, "This dead girl is actually thinking of spring." ”
Zhongeun Tian Lingzi said: "It's okay to have one less princess and a lot less money to support us, and we can also take the opportunity to knock that Tang Zhangwei a sum of money." ”
Tang Xizong said: "Tang Zhangwei, a hillbilly who uses machetes and slice sheep, I'm afraid he won't be so willing to hand over the money to us!" ”
Zhongeun Tian Lingzi said: "My righteous son Wang Jian, his kung fu is good, his famous generals are like clouds, and there are many warriors, it is better to let him go to crusade against Tang Zhangwei." ”
Tang Xizong said: "Come on, I have seen your righteous son's kung fu, but his generals are probably not Tang Zhangwei's opponents!" ”
Zhongeun Tian Lingzi said: "If we can't win this battle, we all have to fight, I can't watch your sister being bullied." ”
Tang Xizong said: "I don't feel that my sister is being bullied! I think my sister has found a good husband, maybe she can persuade Tang Zhangwei to do more for my Datang. ”
Zhongeun Tian Lingzi said: "If it can really be like this, it is very good!" ”
Princess Suining, at this time, was placed in the official office of Yingzhou, and the princess slave Huo Hongyu found that there were bamboo nails outside, and it turned out that they were being monitored.
Xue Luqiao, another of the princess's maidservants, felt both frightened and sad when she saw the militiamen with machetes walking around, and the female soldiers surrounding the house where they lived.
The experience of being insulted by Ge Congzhou was like a nightmare, which made her feel uneasy all day long.
Tang Zhangwei came to visit Princess Suining, and Princess Suining stood up and said, "Thank you for coming to see me, but the slave family has a haggard face." ”
Tang Zhangwei comforted her and said: "You are a golden branch and jade leaf, even if you are sick, you are still extremely beautiful." ”
Wei Wan'er also came to visit Princess Suining together, and when she heard Tang Zhangwei's words, she felt a little uncomfortable.
After coming out, Wei Wan'er said to Tang Zhangwei: "Men, originally I saw one and loved the other. ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Princess Suining is very pitiful, I don't want her to feel lonely, you have to take care of her more." ”
At this time, there was an urgent military report, and it turned out that the army of the Tang Dynasty and the rebels of Huangchao had been fighting for many years.
The people in the Central Plains are struggling to make a living, and Shannan Dongdao has resettled a large number of refugees, which is well-known. Therefore, from Henan Prefecture and the Eastern Capital, the people who came from the central government were overwhelming, like locusts, surrounding the border of Shannan Dongdao.
The local defenders saw a large increase in refugees, hundreds of thousands.
The defending generals did not dare to call the shots, so they had to report to Tang Zhangwei.
Tang Zhangwei ran overnight and arrived at the border.
On the border between Shannan Dongdao and Henan Province, as well as other Central Plains regions, the soldiers and civilians of Shannan Dongdao dug many trenches and built a defense line with wooden and stone structures.
In the past, when the number of refugees was not so high, the local guards let them in. At that time, the checkpoints in Shannan Dongdao only served as a buffer.
However, this time is different, Henan Mansion and Luoyang, the eastern capital, first had a severe drought, the land cracked, and then heavy rain, and three feet of water on the flat ground.
In order to survive, there were only hundreds, or at most thousands of displaced people, but at once there were hundreds of thousands.
Tang Zhangwei came to the border, he saw the hundreds of thousands of displaced people outside the fortress, and he knew that if he let them in, these people would definitely have a huge impact on Shannan Dongdao.
If they are not allowed to enter, they will starve many people to death, and second, they will make these displaced people take risks and attack Shannan Dongdao and other places controlled by Tang Zhangwei.
After all, only when you go to Shannan Dongdao can you eat and live.
In order to deal with these displaced people, Tang Zhangwei immediately summoned 60,000 garrisons in Shannan Dongdao, and at the same time mobilized 100,000 militiamen, armed with machetes, and waited for battle.
At this time, in order to leave a way back for himself, Huang Chao ordered Huang Kuo to lead an army of 20,000 to the south.
Huang Chao said to Huang Kui: "You lead the 20,000 troops out of Tongguan, pass through Shaanzhou, meet with the refugees, attack Shannan Dongdao together, and seize Xiangzhou." ”
Huang Kuo gathered 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 infantry and went straight to Shannan Dongdao.
Along the way, Huang Kuo specially arrested the hungry people, and when they passed through various county towns, they robbed all the local rich households, and then organized all the strong men into the army, and the old and weak stayed in the local area. The county government was burned again, and all the states and counties in Datang along the way were expected to fall by the wind.
Tang Zhangwei was still confronting the hungry people, and at this time, he didn't dare to let people in casually, because once these people were released into Shannan Dongdao, it would bring a bloody storm.
Tang Zhangwei shouted, telling these people to leave, or forming a team of one or two hundred people, one after another, but those displaced leaders were unwilling to obey Tang Zhangwei's orders.
Princess Suining dragged her sick body and came from afar, and she visited Tang Zhangwei, who had been guarding against the homeless people for days. Princess Suining said: "Everyone says that the general is benevolent and righteous, why didn't he release grain this time?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "If I rashly release grain, then Huang Chao dares to turn the entire Central Plains into a hell on earth with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." He can sweep the Central Plains again and raise a million troops. ”
Princess Suining said, "What is the general going to do?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "I don't have a good way for a while. ”
Shannan Dongdao and other areas ruled by Tang Zhangwei successively sent troops to support, and there were 100,000 regular troops and 200,000 militia on the front line of Shannan Dongdao.
At this time, Huang Kuo and his men arrived at the border of Shannan Dongdao.
At the instigation of Huang Kuo, the number of displaced people on the border reached 400,000.
Huang Hua said to Irina, a noblewoman from Eastern Rome: "After conquering Xiangzhou, I will bring all the treasures of Shannan Dongdao and give you as a gift." ”
Irina said, "Really? ”
Huang Kui said: "Of course it's true, when the time comes, I will capture Tang Xizong's sister Princess Suining and be a slave for you!" ”
