168: Zhongsu
Liu Renzhen watched the four horses go away and was speechless for a long time.
"Father, the wind and cold ...... in the city"
Liu Renzhen nodded, then turned around, his feet slipped, but he fell to the ground heavily.
"Father's ......"
"Handsome ......"
Liu Chongji picked up his father, and he only felt skinny and skinny at the tentacle, and there was no flesh in the light, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes, "Father!" ”
“…… I...... I'm fine, help me up, supervise the army, beat the drums and gather the generals. ”
"No."
Liu Chongji personally carried his father down to the city, trotted all the way into the ya, put down on the chair, Liu Renzhen wiped a handful of thick phlegm on his face that was already dry, smiled silently, and said: "The drum of the gathering general has risen, you will be the general on behalf of the father, and I will go in to bathe and change clothes." ”
"No."
Liu Renzhen got up and walked to the back office, waved his hand to return his son who wanted to follow up, and his back was extremely lonely.
Liu Chongzhi wiped a handful of sweat, calmed down, sorted out the generals, and habitually stood at the door, greeting the generals in person.
After the three-way drum is completed, all the future will be together.
Liu Chongzhi saluted and said, "Father is changing clothes, please wait for a while." ”
Zhou Tinggou said: "It's okay, the marshal is very tired during this time, don't rush him, since you are all here, report the defense situation of each city." ”
"No."
The city guards in the lobby reported in turn, and two quarters of an hour passed, Liu Renzhen had not come out, and Zhou Tinggou couldn't sit still, and said, "Chongzhi, you and I will go in and have a look." ”
Liu Chongzhi was anxious to wait for the morning, but his father was in charge of the army very strictly, and the family practiced military law, so he didn't dare to violate a step.
I didn't know that I bumped into the housekeeper Huang Bo head-on, only to see Huang Bo burst into tears, holding a long sword and sealing the letter, and when I saw Liu Chongji, I cried loudly: "Mrs. Ah Lang was martyred, please open the door to welcome Zhou ......"
"Father!"
Liu Chong's tears were like springs, he withdrew his legs and ran, and there was already a faint cry in the backyard......
……
……
There have long been flying horses reported in the Zhou camp.
Guo Rong listened, but there was no joy on his face, he sighed gloomily, and said to Wang Pu: "I didn't expect that there are such loyal and strong people in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, rather than Shouzhou, I would rather get his people, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
Wang Pu also sighed: "The army attacked the city, isolated and helpless, but it was able to hold on for four months without losing, and his real name is also a general." ”
"There is a blind date for King Lao, on behalf of me to pay tribute, the funeral officer gives, well, posthumously presented the inspection school captain and Zhongshu order, Tianping Army Festival Envoy, posthumously named him the king of Pengcheng County, and his son Chongzhi is also a brave and good fighter, and can be the history of Huaizhou."
"Yes."
Shouzhou City fell, and the news of the festival marshal's self-killing flew to all corners like wings, and Jiayin quickly learned about it, and he stood for a long time, and was shocked again.
The black and thin old man, when Yang Che scolded, he was speechless; When the defenders were angry, he stopped it; When the four of them went down to the city, he saw them off at the head of the city...... Unexpectedly, after only an hour, it was already yin and yang.
There was a cry from the southeast, and his voice was old and hoarse, clearly the old man Yang Che.
During Liu Renzhen's funeral, the Zhou army only sent a large amount of rice, grain, pigs and sheep into the city, but the army was still stationed outside the city.
Three days later, Zhou Tinggou led the civil and military forces to meet the outside of the city, and the Zhou army began to enter the city to take over the city defense.
Thanks to Liu Rengan's blessing, the officials in the city are allowed to stay, the high-ranking officials who are willing to stay in the Great Zhou, and the ones who are willing to return to Jiangnan are given to Cheng Yi and horses.
This was a big surprise to Zhou Tinggou and others.
After Guo Rong inspected Shouzhou City, he saw that the city was in ruins, and the people were in distress, so he sighed with emotion, and ordered Shouzhou City to be exempted from money and grain for three years, and sent the left counselor Yin Ri to open a warehouse in Shouzhou to relieve hunger, and Yang Xin, the commander of the right Yulin Army, was the envoy of Shouzhou Festival.
The name of the army is "Zhongzheng", in honor of Liu Ren's festival.
The people of Shouzhou built a temple to worship, and later generations added "Zhongsu", which was the temple of Zhongsu Wang.
……
……
Jiangning, Imperial Palace.
Li Jing was furious, his eyes were red, and he roared loudly: "Who can tell me how to retreat from the enemy now?" ”
Although the Jiangnan soldiers have retreated, Wang Jinkui in the west was also killed by the generals, Wuchang is safe, but the land of Jiangbei has been chaotic into a pot of porridge, Luzhou, Shuzhou have been lost, and now the city of Shouzhou has been lost, a few days ago, Huang Fuhui's sailors were lured by the enemy general Song Jiuzhong, as soon as the elite came ashore, they were killed by the horsemen into a river of blood.
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to speak out.
In the end, it was Song Qiqiu who came out and said: "Holy Lord, the current plan can only negotiate peace again." ”
"Last time, Zhong Mo and Li Deming returned in vain, what will they do to negotiate peace this time?"
"Agree to the conditions of the reverse week."
Chang Mengxi was furious, and his halberd finger scolded angrily: "Song Qiqiu, because you said it, dare to let the saint go up to the emperor, cut the territory and the enemy, the saint, please the golden gourd warrior, kill this fang." ”
Song Qiqiu sneered: "Then according to the usual waiter's opinion, what should I do?" ”
"The army is pressing, there has never been only one way to prepare for war, I don't need to use the Zhenhai God Needle, but I want to seek peace and survive, what is the reason?
Shengshang, the minister recommended Li Jingda, the king of Qi, to take command of the expedition to control the armies of all roads in Jiangbei, and it will not take half a year, and the reverse Zhou will be defeated and retreat to Huaibei. ”
"Shengshang, although the situation in Jiangbei has deteriorated now, Huang Fuhui and Yao Feng are still remarkable, and the change of commander is ominous."
Chang Mengxi sneered: "Then according to Li Shumi's intentions, what should I do?" ”
Li Zhenggu, the privy deputy envoy, smiled proudly: "In fact, if you want to retreat against the Zhou army, it is not difficult to be foolish to be a minister, just a letter." ”
When Li Jing heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Stop selling Guanzi, come quickly." ”
"The Holy One forgot about Liao? Although the Northern Jin Dynasty and Western Shu were afraid of the anti-Zhou Dynasty, but the Anti-Zhou Dynasty was the most afraid of the Liao army, only the humble words and generous manners, according to the greedy nature of the Liao people, as long as it was profitable, they would inevitably raise troops. ”
"Wonderful!"
Li Jing stroked his palm and laughed: "Li Qing is really a person who wakes up in a dream." ”
Chang Mengxi said: "Shengshang, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, although it is feasible to attack Zhou in Lianliao, but no matter how fast it is, it will take three months to see results, and now the Jiangbei battlefield needs to be further deployed." ”
"Well, Chang Qing is reasonable, and the secretaries will discuss it again."
The court discussion continued, but a red feather had already stepped on the middle palace and reported the victory loudly.
"Report ...... Eight hundred miles of good news, the general of Huangfu broke the elite of the Zhou army outside the Qingliu Pass, cut more than 1,000 iron horses, and won more than 500 war horses. ”
"Coaxing ......" The entire court was like frying an oil pot, and it immediately boiled.
Li Jing cried with joy, grabbed the messenger's arm, and said, "Tell me more." ”
"No."
However, it turned out that the Zhou general Han Lingkun won two consecutive victories, and General Huangfuhui was defeated repeatedly, and he was not discouraged, and finally grasped the weakness of the Zhou army and turned defeat into victory in one fell swoop.
Zhou Jun's iron cavalry and crane control are unparalleled elites, and now they have been defeated by Huang Fuhui, and it is a big victory, such news is like a warm spring sun, quickly melting the haze on Li Jing's head,
Song Qiqiu and the others rang out in due time: "Congratulations to the ministers for the saint!" ”
Li Jing opened his arms and laughed.
Li Jingda walked out of the palace door silently, this Tang Qi King who was standing tall, with a tall figure and a jade tree in the wind, his face was full of worry.
He closed his eyes and felt the coolness of the spring breeze, but he still couldn't pour out the burning heart in his heart.
Why would you rather trust Xiaoxiao and trust outsiders, but be wary of your own brothers? Back then, my father swore an oath in front of the palace that a good brother would end up with a brother, and a good brother would be of the same heart, but in exchange for all kinds of resistance.
He thought of the third brother who walked Ma Zhangtai all day long, heh, the emperor's brother, and took the name "retreat".
Xu closed his eyes for a long time, and a tear overflowed from the corner of his eye.
……………………………………………………………………
Note: Liu Renzhen actually held Shouzhou for nearly a year and a half, and when the Zhou army conquered Huainan, it almost swept the entire Jianghuai land, but it was all because Shouzhou was not taken, and then it was recaptured by the Southern Tang Dynasty one after another.
However, the result was too tragic, under the crisis of besieging the city on all sides, the head of the city was beheaded, and he held on for more than a year, but when he fell ill and fell into a coma, he was pressed by his subordinates to press his handprint, Kaicheng surrendered, and carried the hospital bed to see Guo Rong, and died when he returned to the city.
I survived all kinds of hardships, but I "sacrificed the city" at the moment of death, which is sad.
Therefore, let him be relieved earlier, and also saved Liu Chongjian from the tragedy of being beheaded by his father in the city.
