Chapter 555: Heavy Punch
The two Rao disagreed, making it difficult for the two of them to do anything for a while. Because if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we'll have to quarrel. Just as Gao Shikun wanted to open his mouth to break this situation, he heard a commotion outside, and immediately attracted the attention of both Rao.
"What's going on, why is it so noisy outside?" Gao Shikun wondered.
"Why don't we go out and have a look!" Brother Zhenhai stood up and prepared to walk outside.
However, as soon as Gao Shikun stood up, the curtain of the tent suddenly moved, and then someone lifted it from the outside, and several soldiers in armor strode in from outside the tent.
"Daring, whose subordinate are you? Without General Ben's order, he dared to trespass into the big tent of the Chinese army, could it be that he was impatient? Stand down quickly, or you will be court-martialed! Seeing these strange people, Gao Shikun couldn't help but say angrily.
It's a pity that his words have no effect on these people at all, everyone is deaf, and there is no intention of leaving. After a few soldiers came in, they quickly drew their swords ~ and surrounded the two of them in the middle.
"You, you, you are Tang Jun?" Seeing this posture, that Brother Zhenhai finally understood, and asked with a trembling voice.
"Not bad! Looks like you're not stupid enough to get home! Hearing this, another voice came from outside the tent, and then two men walked in from the outside.
"Cai Donghe? It's you! How dare you betray me? As soon as he saw these two people, Gao Shikun was immediately angry and scolded.
"Gao Shikun, this official has never been attached to you, so why should he betray him? This official is the commander of Xiangyuan County of the Tang Dynasty, and when he dies, he is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty! You are just a rebel, what qualifications do you have to be loyal to you? Hearing this, Cai Donghe sneered and said lightly.
Seeing this county magistrate who nodded in front of him and laughed with him, he seemed to suddenly become righteous and tall at this time. Gao Shikun only felt that there was a anger in his heart, but he had no way to vent~ it.
"You, did you arrange it a long time ago, and you planned all this?" Brother Zhenhai looked at Cai Donghe and Chang Shan and asked.
"Yes, if it weren't for the sake of seeing how many people would jump out, why would Lord Cai bother acting with you jumping beams! Look at you guys, it's really serious. In my Datang land, I actually dare to rebel, I am really impatient! Chang Shan looked at the two and said coldly.
"You, you, you don't want to be too early! We are not alone in this incident. In the entire Tang Realm, there are already people with us everywhere, and even if we fail, other places can succeed just as well. Not to mention that there are also the armies of Dai Guo and Yan State, which will sweep through the Tang Realm in a few days, and when the time comes, none of you will be able to escape! Gao Shikun was unconvinced and scolded angrily.
"You're really, you're stupid! You don't want to think about it, since your actions have long been mastered by the imperial court, why haven't you done it all the time? Isn't it to catch all of you? Your Highness has given you a month, and you've almost jumped out, so it's naturally time to stop! You can't even think of this, and you want to learn to rebel? Alas, this brother Zhenhai, you are not competent for this meticulous work! Otherwise, how could you find such a person! When Chang Shan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing Chang Shan's words, Gao Shikun and Zhenhai couldn't help but be silent, and there was even a kind of shame and indignation. After all, the things that I am proud of seem to others to be a child's nonsense.
"By the way, before I came, His Highness had an explanation. Others can make mistakes and they can be forgiven. But there are some things that he absolutely cannot tolerate, such as turning his elbow outward, colluding with foreign enemies to cause trouble to his family and country, such a person will kill one when he finds one! So, if you surrender, you don't need it! As if he remembered something, Tsuneyama continued.
After hearing this, Gao Shikun's face suddenly darkened. Seeing this, Chang Shan didn't bother to do anything more, and waved his hand lightly, and several soldiers dragged Gao Shikun and the two down. After a while, two tragic swords came from outside the tent
"At this point, the matter here is over for the time being! After pacifying these chaotic parties, the affairs of Xiangyuan County will be handed over to Lord Cai to deal with! After being silent for a while, Chang Shan said to Cai Dong Dao.
"Yes, the lower officials must appease the people as soon as possible and resume farming!" Cai Donghe hurriedly bowed and said.
Nodding, Chang Shan didn't say anything more, and walked towards the outside of the tent. At this time, the camp has basically gradually calmed down. Especially when the bodies of Gao Shikun and Zhenhai were placed in the camp, the others surrendered one after another.
For these words, they had to be interrogated before they could be corrected, so Chang Shan and Cai Donghe escorted them towards the city.
On the night when the rebellion in Xiangyuan County was put down, the town troops in Shangdang, Bingzhou, Sizhou, Shuofang, Qinzhou and other places, which had been transferred before, suddenly launched an action together.
Everywhere the army passed, the traitors were destroyed one by one, especially some of the bandits and rogues, who were nothing more than a rabble. At this time, in the face of the thunderous sweep of the town army, they suddenly collapsed like ice and snow.
The only thing that is more troublesome is the Hu traitors in Shuofang and the beggar Xianbei of Warrior Chuan.
Among them, the traitors in Shuofang are difficult to deal with because they are all self-raised people on horseback. Therefore, in the case of a miss, it is easy for them to run away.
In order to deal with these people, Li Xin ordered the light cavalry general Yu Song to lead 2,000 cavalry to the north and clean up this group of thieves with Sun Tie.
As for the beggar Xianbei, it is because their entire tribe is relatively large. Therefore, the corresponding number of troops is relatively large.
Moreover, the Warrior River they occupy is also a land of mountains. Therefore, it is not easy to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Therefore, Li Xin ordered Zhou Tong to mobilize regular troops to encircle and suppress them, and marched from the two directions of Jincheng and Mikou Pass, thinking that he would soon be able to get the news that the war had been settled.
In less than three years, it was as if a whirlwind had blown away in the entire Tang Realm, as if the previous chaos had been blown away at once.
The counties, which had been a bit chaotic, soon regained stability. When the people learned that these traitors had been beheaded and eliminated by the government one by one, they suddenly became reassured, and all aspects began to settle down.
At the same time, there was new news about the fighting in the north.
After receiving Li Xin's order, Li Erhei led an army of 20,000 to confront Liu Kuren's troops on the south bank of the Yellow River.
And just a few times ago, Li Erhei and Liang Cheng, who was stationed in Shanwu County, cooperated with each other and mobilized some troops and horses from Yanmen to move westward, which shocked Daiguo. At the same time, the Tang Army, which was originally stationed west of Qiyang County, Wuyuan County, also began to advance.
In this way, Liu Kuren thought that the Tang army was planning to bypass the Yellow River and attack him from both the east and west sides at the same time. As a result, he had to move some of his forces further north to defend it.
As a result, Li Erhei took advantage of this opportunity to lead 3,000 elites to cross the Yellow River from Junzijin in one fell swoop and appeared in the southeast of Liu Kuren's army.
This attack was quite successful, and after the battle, more than 5,000 generations of troops stationed by the river were wiped out. Then, the army on the south bank took the opportunity to cross the river in a big way, and on the north bank of the confluence of Baiqushui and the Yellow River, Liu Kuren's army of 50,000 was defeated in one fell swoop.
Liu Kuren led the remnants of the army to flee north and returned to Shengle City, and Shi Yiqian, who heard the news, was greatly frightened, and hurriedly mobilized more soldiers and horses from all over the north, preparing to devote all his strength to resist the attack of the Tang army.
However, by this time, Li Erhei had retreated from the north bank of the Yellow River to the south bank to garrison. It's just that the defense line that was originally facing Dai Guo to the west of Qiyang County has advanced all the way to the west bank of Baiqushui.
The so-called Baiqu Water is actually the Dahei River in later generations, because it was called this name during the Han and Wei dynasties. In this way, the Tang army was stationed in the west and south of Shengle City, and after crossing the mountains in the east, it was Yanmen County.
In this way, it is equivalent to surrounding the capital of the country on three sides. Unless Shi Yiqian was from the north, otherwise, no matter which direction he attacked, he would inevitably have to pass through the Tang army's defense line
If it weren't for the fact that the north bank of the Yellow River, east of Baiqushui, the terrain was flat, suitable for a large number of cavalry to charge and fight, and there was nothing to rely on, I am afraid that Li Erhei would not have retreated to the south bank.
Because Li Xin doesn't want to completely break with Daiguo now, after all, the country has just gone through a series of wars, and it is not appropriate to use more swords at this time. Therefore, after the victory, it is best to go on the defensive for the time being.
And after Shi Yiqian learned that Li Erhei was advancing and retreating, he was somewhat relieved. At least, the Tang Army does not seem to have the idea of fighting to the death with itself and completely destroying itself.
It just so happened that under such circumstances, and hearing that the civil strife in Datang had been quelled, he gave up the idea of sending troops south again.
After the chaos in various places subsided one after another, the only thing left at this time was the attack of the Yan Kingdom in the east. However, this journey is more clever than imagined. Or Murong Ke was very smart, and as soon as he heard that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, he immediately ordered the army to withdraw and quit the army.
So, after Li Xin's heavy punch, the entire Datang was restored to stability, both inside and outside.
Through this incident, Li Xin's prestige rose again. The people's confidence in him and in the government was greater.
At this time, Li Xin did not intend to stop there, although the force had calmed down, but in political affairs, he was ready to make new moves.
