In the tenth year of Zhide, in March, the Liang army broke through the defense line of Shu Han Jiameng Pass, and the general Lin Chongyang continued to advance westward, all the way like a bamboo, and now the only thing hindering his forward speed is the difficult Shu Road.

Emperor Zhao Ce's chariot could no longer pass through the narrow and dangerous road, so he could only ride and walk with the soldiers. Especially when facing those dangerous mountain roads that are almost straight up and down, he also climbed the rock and thorns with the soldiers, walked the cliff plank road with trepidation, and crossed the river with the horse's neck, and His Majesty the Emperor finally realized the difficulty of the march.

In the past, he lived in the palace, and although he learned from various war reports that the war was hard, he could not deeply understand it without experiencing it once. Now, he has a deep understanding. As an emperor, being able to do this can be regarded as a double tempering of spirit and body.

At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor's prestige was growing day by day.

Strange, how could the prestige of such an embarrassed emperor increase?

The reason is that most people only heard that the emperor followed the soldiers forward, but they did not see the tragic situation of the emperor crossing the river, did not see the emperor peeing his pants in fright when he walked the cliff plank road, and did not see the appearance of His Majesty the emperor slipping and screaming when climbing the rock.

As long as he walked with him, it was the greatest encouragement to the morale of the troops, and the soldiers all said, His Majesty the Emperor is by our side, we can only win, we cannot lose, we have to fight for the Emperor.

"If you take Jianzhou, you can be regarded as taking root in the country of Tianfu, and in front of you is a horse and a flat river, and His Majesty the Emperor will not have to endure hardship." Huang Gonggong said happily.

My husband is over 60 years old, and he also followed His Majesty the Emperor out to fight, and it is already God's favor that he did not exhaust the old man to death. Huang Gonggong also joked that he must take a boat when he goes back, otherwise this old bone will be completely scrapped. His Majesty the Emperor felt sorry for the old slave and said that he must let him take a high-rise boat back to Jingzhou, and then return to Luoyang from Jingzhou, enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers along the way, beautiful, fortunate. The old eunuch was grateful.

Due to the difficulty of the mountain road and the blockage of communication, His Majesty the Emperor at this time did not know Tang Qi's situation, and the great war between the Northern Liang and the Southern Jin Dynasty was in full swing at this time.

Chen Bao's 30,000 against Hong Mingshan's 140,000 fights can be described as more than a tragic one, they have already turned the Weihe River red.

Hong Mingshan saw that he could not cross the river, so he simply detoured to the east, but was stubbornly blocked by the troops of You Gaoyi in Yanling, Hong Mingshan changed the route again and continued to the east, he actually ventured to Fugou, but because Chen Leopard had few soldiers, he was not able to deploy in Fugou, so Hong Mingshan finally broke through Chen Bao's blockade, and marched to Xuzhou in a hurry, but when he walked halfway, he heard that Tang Yuan personally led the archery cavalry regiment to attack Tang Yan, and he shot at a distance of 100 steps, Tang Yan was dead.

However, legend has it that Tang Yuan was also seriously injured, and there were almost not a few people left who rushed into the battle circle with him, and later it was the supervisor Qi Cheng, the second deputy marshal Tang Hu, and the general staff general Nalan Xin who led the team to continue the battle.

After Tang Yan's death, he was succeeded by the commander of the Southern Jin East Route Army, the army was Sima Chaozhong, Sima Chaozhong could not fight, after Tang Yan's death, he lost his backbone, did not dare to fight with the Liang Army Plain, and had retreated to Linying City, unable to retreat. Just waiting for reinforcements to come to the rescue.

Hong Mingshan still had 110,000 horses left at this time, and he kept moving closer to Linying, but he encountered Kong with an ambush on the way, but unfortunately Kong had few soldiers and did not deal a fatal blow to Hong Mingshan, Hong Mingshan broke through the defense line and had seen Linying City from afar, but when he saw Linying, he sighed: "I can't hold it." ”

It is also a siege, and the number of siege methods of the Tang Yuan Flying Tiger Army is simply staggering.

After years of accumulation of war experience, when Tang Yuan's troops attacked the city, they never used only one method, they were all multi-pronged, cloud ladders, siege towers, rushing cars, heavy crossbows to the city wall to climb the city nails, tying cables to the city climbing nails, and soldiers climbed up along the cables.

Such an experienced combat unit came to fight Sima Chaozhong, who had no command experience, and what the result was, Hong Mingshan saw through it at a glance. Thousands of troops

"Then we can't save it?" Deputy Marshal Meng Sen looked at Linying from afar.

Hong Mingshan narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't save it, the news will reach Sima Zhen's ears, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it." ”

Meng Sen smiled bitterly: "If we save it, we may also fall into it." It may be better to withdraw the army to Huainan and garrison it there than to save him. Although we failed to take Luoyang across the river this time, we also took Huainan, which is also a credit. On the other hand, let's go to help Sima Chaozhong, even if we agree, we will withdraw the army to Huainan, and the credit will be his, and I am afraid that there will be very few people who can give us alms. Let's guard the north gate for the Jin Dynasty, even if Sima Zhen knows that we can't be saved when we die, what can we do? When the time comes, we will have a hundred reasons to answer him, and he can only listen, but he can not do anything about us. ”

Hong Mingshan slowly turned his head, looked at the tired soldiers behind him, and gritted his teeth: "Withdraw the troops." ”

After Hong Mingshan withdrew his troops, the Flying Tiger Army besieged Linying for three days, and finally broke the city, captured more than 30,000 enemy troops, and captured Sima Chaozhong, the director of the Eastern Route Army of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Tang Yuan was seriously injured in many places, lying in the chariot and couldn't move, he needed to be served by others when he ate, he had a high fever on his body, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were listless, he was found in the pile of dead people, God favored, Tang Dashuai was not dead.

I was going to rest for a while, but at this time, I received news that Yue Ting had kidnapped the old handsome Min Yue and negotiated with Tang Qi, but the result was that the negotiations could not be reached, and the two sides fought.

Tang Qi asked Tang Yuan to quickly support Dagu Pass after taking Linying, otherwise she would have 100,000 recruits (including 50,000 Southern Jin surrendered troops), I am afraid that she will not be able to win, and once defeated, Luoyang will be in danger.

At this time, Tang Yuan's soldiers were less than 50,000, and this was still counting Chen Bao's troops. The 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty who had just been captured could no longer be digested into the troops, otherwise the proportion of prisoners and soldiers in the troops would be too high, and it would be easy to cause mutiny. What's more important is that there is not enough time, if there is enough time, Tang Yuan still has a way to make this group of soldiers obedient.

"What to do? You can't let these 30,000 soldiers go, right? Tang Dashuai frowned.

Qi Cheng, Zhao Chi, Chen Bao and others were all in the house, everyone was silent, and the air was extremely dull.

After a long time, Nalan Xin said in a deep voice: "Leave this matter to me." ”

Everyone wants to ask, what will you do?

But everyone didn't even ask, including Jun Qicheng, the director of military discipline.

Looking at Nalan Xin's vicious eyes, everyone had already found the answer.

"Okay."

The moment Tang Yuan nodded, he felt chills all over his body, but he had no choice. Then he said: "Chen Bao and Tang Hu are the vanguards, leading 20,000 people to rush to the aid of Dagu Pass. Yue Pu and Fu Ying led 20,000 people to follow, and the remaining 10,000 people were handed over to Nalan Xin to deal with the surrender of Linying. ”

After that, Tang Yuan, who was seriously injured, fell asleep.
