Chapter 679: Xia Sui's Rebellion (9) (4th Update)

"The last general, Li Cunxiao, has seen the county prince!"

Yanzhou, the camp of the Zuo Shenwei Army.

Li Hong, who had just been appointed as the marshal of the Guannei Dao march, arrived here secretly, and this time he was responsible for commanding the Zuo Shenwei army, Lingwu and the Guannei Daozhou town soldiers to solve the possible turmoil in Xia Sui this time.

"Yanmen Hou, please get up!" Li Hong smiled and helped the other party up.

"Thank you, Princess!"

"Yanmen Hou, I don't know what Xia Sui's situation is now?" Li Hong sat down in the position where Li Cunxiao was sitting before.

"Back to the county prince, on the surface, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is an undercurrent. Now Helian Duo is attacking Tiande in a big way, but Xia Sui's side is not moving, which is very unusual.

And those ambitious people in Xia Sui also did not move, probably waiting for Li Sigong's death.

If you want me to see it, this is a group of cowards, it is better to directly let Zuo Shenwei's army kill it, I don't believe that anyone else dares to stop it. Speaking of the back, Li Cunxiao said arrogantly.

"Yanmen Hou, don't be impulsive. Before Ben Shuai left Chang'an, the saint told Ben Shuai that he must be famous, and he must not intervene in Xia Sui's civil strife in advance, and wait for news from Jinyiwei.

And the army has not yet been assembled, so don't be impulsive, so as not to spoil the plan of the saint. Li Hong accentuated his tone, lest Li Cunxiao not take it to heart.

"Don't worry, the last general must remember! But what about Helendor's side? The Zuo Shenwei Army is too far away from Tiande, and the Zuo Shenwei Army is also a little beyond the reach of the whip! Li Cunxiao wondered.

"Helianduo naturally has someone to deal with on his side, so we don't need to worry about it. Our purpose is only to intervene in Xia Sui after the civil strife, control Xia Sui and stabilize the situation. Li Hong waved his hand and briefly explained the purpose of his trip.

After Li Hong arrived in Yanzhou, he ordered Lingwu to gather troops and horses in order to respond to the actions of Zuo Shenwei's army.

As for the troops and horses in the Guannei Province, Li Hong did not mobilize them, and it was a troublesome matter to have too many troops, and it was easy to attract attention.

On the third day after Li Hong arrived in Yanzhou, Jinyiwei came with news from Xiazhou that Li Sigong had died of illness.

After confirming the news of Li Sigong's death, Li Hong knew that Xia Sui was going to be in chaos. Sure enough, on the third day of Li Sigong's death, Yinzhou, Suizhou, and the Dongshan Department of the Party led the army towards Xiazhou on the grounds that they wanted to send Li Sigong off.

Xia Sui's situation became tense all of a sudden.

。。。。。。

Originally, Gao Zongyi and the others just wanted to force the palace, as long as the Li brothers gave up Xiazhou, they could retreat, but Li Sijing endured it too much during this time, and directly took the five thousand cavalry under his command to kill the eight thousand cavalry in Yinzhou and Suizhou.

Li Sijing is 5,000 cavalry, and Gao Zongyi has 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry.

But at the critical moment, the cavalry of the Dongshan Department came out, and Li Sijing suffered a crushing defeat from the enemy.

Fortunately, Li Sijing ordered troops to help, which rescued Li Sijing.

However, after this battle, there were less than 2,000 of its 5,000 cavalry, which can be described as heavy losses.

At this time, some of the border town soldiers under Xiazhou rose up to join Gao Zongyi's side, and suddenly the strength of the rebel army increased greatly, and nearly 20,000 troops were stationed outside the city to confront the Pingxia department.

As for the Pingxia Department, although Li Sigong left his last words, let Li Siji succeed him as the envoy of the festival. But Li Sijing's defeat and Li Sigong's death made the morale of the Pingxia Department a little low, even if there were still many troops in hand, but they lost the confidence to face the battle.

Even because of the current situation, the position of the dependents of the Heixia Department is a little wavering.

On the side of the Tiande army, because they were defeated by the Zhenwu army, they had retreated to the west and surrendered to the city.

In this case, Li Sijian came to the post station alone to meet Dong Lang.

"Commander Dong, I bother you to send a message to the imperial court, just say that the Pingxia Department of the Party is willing to hand over the post of Xia Suijiedu envoy and completely submit to the imperial court, and I hope that the imperial court will remember the loyalty of the Pingxia Department to the imperial court in the past, and save the Pingxia Department this time!"

As soon as he saw Dong Lang, Li Sijian saluted him and almost knelt down.

"Li Shilang, what do you mean, please get up quickly! Dong can't afford such a big gift from Li Shilang! Although Dong Lang was very happy in his heart, he was still surprised by the other party's approach on the surface, and hurriedly came to the front and helped the other party up.

"If Commander Dong doesn't agree to Li, Li can't afford it!" Li Sijian said in a deep voice.

"Li Shilang is serious, even if Dong sends a message to the court, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and he may disappoint Li Shilang!" Dong Lang pretended to be confused, and he was also testing Li Siji's true intentions.

"Don't pretend to be confused, we don't talk darkly. Li knew the intention of the saint to send Commander Dong to follow Li to Xiazhou, and believed that the Zuo Shenwei army had been assembled, and as long as the news of Commander Dong's envoy came out, the Zuo Shenwei army would definitely be dispatched. At this time, Li Sijian didn't want to continue to drag on.

If it drags on any longer, the situation may worsen.

In fact, if it weren't for Helian Duo to send troops, they would not be so embarrassed, and no matter how bad they were, they could still transfer troops from Tiande to stabilize the situation in Xia Sui.

However, Helian Duo's attack on Tiande caused the Pingxia Department to lose Tiande's reinforcements, which led to the current predicament of the Pingxia Department.

"Li Shilang also knows that our Jinyi Wei can order the forbidden army not to move, Dong Mou will give it a try!" Li Sijian has said this part, if Dong Lang pretends to be confused again, it will be a bit excessive.

After all, the party item Li is credited to the imperial court, and after this incident, I think that the saint will also make up for the party item Li, if he offends too much, he will have a bad relationship with him.

Although Jin Yiwei did things that offended people, he couldn't offend them all. If one day he suffers, it is estimated that no one will intercede for him.

"Then thank you Commander Dong!"

Seeing Dong Lang relieved, Li Sijian was also a lot relieved, and then they only needed to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

That night, several carrier pigeons quietly flew out of the post station and flew to the direction of Yanzhou with the densed secret letter.

And seeing the carrier pigeon flying out, Li Sijian didn't feel good in his heart.

In fact, the imperial court did nothing in this incident, but in the end it became the fisherman. What can they say? The imperial court did not take the opportunity to fall into the ground, even if it was asked, it could be said that the news was closed and could not react.

If the imperial court is ruthless, it is completely possible to wait for them to separate the victory and defeat with the rebels, but at that time, no matter which side wins, it is impossible to be the opponent of the imperial army.

I don't know how the imperial court will settle them in Pingxia after this incident.

As long as the court doesn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, otherwise he will really become a sinner of the party.

That night, the letter from the carrier pigeon arrived on Li Hong's desk, and when he saw Li Sijian taking the initiative to ask the imperial court to send troops, Li Hong knew that the time had come.

"Give the order to Zuo Shenwei's army, we will send troops after breakfast tomorrow morning, after waiting for so long, it's finally time for us to move!"

Early the next morning, in addition to leaving the rear compartment to guard the camp, the rest of the 20,000 cavalry drove one after another, and slaughtered towards Xiazhou.

At the same time, Sun Kuai also led 15,000 cavalry from Lingwu towards Xia Sui.
