12. Soldiers out of the pot pass

The emperor thought to himself, he didn't expect that the third year of high school really regarded the camp of Fengtian City as a major event, and although it was impossible for me to leave the palace and go there, but anyway, the important town of Fengtian was an important place connecting Jingzhao, Fengxiang and Jingyuan.

Immediately, the left and right lieutenant colonels, who were superintendents, selected 100 "old craftsmen" to accompany the 2,000 Shence army soldiers, one step ahead of Gao Yue, and went out of Chang'an City to the west. In addition, in order to speed up the progress of the project, hundreds of male prisoners serving prison sentences were also assigned to the generals as prisoners, so that this group of people also rushed to Mukden to do the work of building the city.

Privately, Gao Yue quickly wrote a letter to Liu De's room in Yuanzhou, asking him to draw two or three hundred people from the camp team and the city to "help" in Fengtian City.

In fact, these people should be allowed to learn from the old craftsmen who will be superintendents how to burn bricks, pottery, carpentry, and other techniques.

After the arrangements were made, Gao Yue officially resigned from Beijing and went to Fengtian City as a camp envoy.

Before and behind his saddle were Wei Daotian, An Laohu, and a few servants rationed by the imperial court.

At this time, the street scene of Chang'an City was very different from when he came to the winter market before.

Shengping Fang around several squares, until the imperial city, the direction of the Daming Palace, all the side streets are crowded with hundreds of people, the cry shook the earth, their purpose is to surround the prime ministers, to return the money and rice that were taken away by Jingzhao Mansion and Du Zhisi - it is said that Lu Qi was still riding a horse when he went to court, accepting the people's complaints, but later there were too many people who came to complain, and soon there were excesses against him, the resentment of the people became more and more serious, it is said that many people had bricks and stones hidden in their arms, ready to attack Prime Minister Lu at any time, As a result, these days, Lu Qi went out day and night, quietly left the house before the fourth watch, waited in the light house, and got into the door of Daming Palace as soon as it opened.

Gao Yue saw that on the streets, on one side were angry and desperate people, but on the other side were the government offices that continued to loot.

Jingzhao Shaoyin and the county lieutenants of Chang'an Wannian County all rode horses and cars, took documents, and broke into the cabinet shop and people's houses, looting money and food at will, and the whole situation was extremely chaotic - many people who could not survive were desperate, and poured into the Shence army like a tide to accept Bai Zhizhen's recruitment to avoid Jingzhao Mansion.

"It's a mess." Gao Yue thought to himself.

But the emperor in the Daming Palace became more and more confident in the victory of the war to cut the domain.

Since the beginning of winter, although Prime Minister Yang Yan has died, there have been good news from various battlefields that have made Li Shi excited.

First of all, there was the news that Li Zhengji died of a carbuncle attack in Ziqing Fang Town, at first Li Shi couldn't believe it, but soon Li Wei (Li Zhengji's uncle) sent a tooth soldier from Ziqing Fang Town and told the emperor: Li Zhengji is indeed dead, and his son Li Na is plotting to attack Jingjie, and I, Li Wei, am willing to sacrifice Xuzhou anyway.

This tooth soldier's name is Wang Zhixing, I don't know what method he used, Xuzhou to Beijing a total of 2,640 miles, he spent five days and five nights galloping horses to arrive, told the emperor: "Xuzhou Thorn Shi Li Wei, Lian and Haizhou Thorn Shi Wang She, Yizhou Ma Wantong, willing to return the land of Sanzhou to Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was overjoyed and hurriedly appointed Li Wei as the observer envoy of Xu, Hai and Yi Prefectures, and the imperial historian of the school.

Later, Wang Zhixing also complained to the emperor urgently, saying that Li Na withdrew the army from Songzhou, and united with the general of Wei Bo's army, Xindu Chongqing (this Fu surnamed Xindu), turned around and began to besiege Xuzhou, and the military situation could not be delayed.

"Don't worry, I immediately sent the soldiers and horses of the Shence to make Quhuan, Liu Qia of the Xuanwu Army, and Li Cheng of the Yongping Army, and sent another 5,000 Shuo Fang Jing Cavalry, and returned to the capital Li Mian to control and gallop to Xuzhou!"

At the same time, after the rain stopped, Li Xilie in Huaixi began to trace the Han River upstream, approaching Xiangyang, Liang Chongyi did not dare to go south to attack Jiangling Mansion, and in the face of the strong strength of the Huaining army, he was defeated and retreated.

Liu Changqing, the assassin of Suizhou, heard that Li Xilie led the army, and was overjoyed, mobilized the people of Suizhou to Handong to greet the reward, and also made a poem to praise Li Xilie's achievements in "asking the guilt of Xiangyang":

Don't dare to lie in Huainan, come to the Han general camp.

Accept the resignation and look at the left Yue, and help the disease forward.

The well tax quail clothes music, the pot pulp crane greets.

The water returns to the remaining broken shore, and the beacon covers the lonely city.

Thousands of horsemen returned at night, and the autumn wind combined five soldiers.

Kong Zhang is talented and healthy, and he will write books sooner or later.

Of course, what the emperor was most concerned about was the rebellion of Hengji and Weibo in the land of Heshuo.

Xiangzhou, the southernmost part of Hebei Road, the clouds are high, the mighty Huanshui is in the east-west direction, it flows slowly from the north of Anyang City, Tian Yue's soldiers and horses are sandwiched between Huanshui and Anyang City, and the opposite side is until Ye, it is Li Baozhen, Ma Sui, Li Sheng's three armies totaling 60,000 people, and they are also camped for more than ten miles, facing each other apart, and the sound of drums and horns is endless.

At the head of Anyang City, Tian Yue was restless and frightened, looking at the formation of the imperial court officials and soldiers, pacing back and forth, constantly asking questions such as "whether the Chengde Army has reinforcements" and "Whether the Pinglu Army has reinforcements".

Because in the previous battle of Linhao City, Tian Yue, who did not listen to Xing Caojun's advice, was defeated and lost nearly half of his elite, and for a time Wei Bo Tianxiong's army died of his father and son, countless:

After Ma Sui returned to Taiyuan, Hedong, he quickly lit 20,000 elite infantry cavalry to join forces with Li Sheng's Shence Pioneer Camp and Li Baozhen's Zhaoyi Army, and then Ma Sui made a strategy - first wrote a letter to Tian Yue, imploring Wei Bo to withdraw his troops and stop the war, and he would ask the Holy Lord to pardon Li Weiyue from the imperial court.

However, Tian Yue did not listen, but thought that Ma Sui was afraid, so he ordered to continue to storm Linyu City.

During this period, Ma Sui, Li Baozhen, and Li Sheng quickly passed through Hukou Pass and approached Linwei.

At the same time, Zhang Ling, the official and garrison of Linwei City, led his subordinates to fight to the death, killing countless soldiers of Dr. Wei who were attached to the siege of the city, but the casualties in the city were also very heavy, after the food began to run out, the defenders began to waver, and some people were afraid that the imperial court reinforcements would not stop, so they had the idea of surrendering.

At this time, Zhang Ling called out his little daughter, dressed her in red clothes, put on jewelry, and led her to the soldiers, saying that now I have nothing to reward you, so I will sell my daughter to those who still have money in the city as a concubine, and exchange some money to give you a good meal, so that I can keep this city.

When the soldiers of Linhao City saw the general like this, they all bowed down and wept bitterly, saying that we are willing to fight to the death to defend the city and never give in!

Then everyone came up with a plan to make a paper kite, which was written "Linwei is in danger like a tired egg, Ma Hedong (Sui), Li Zhaoyi (Baozhen) save me, etc.", and then tied it on the long line, taking advantage of the east wind, to make it fly out of the siege of the Weibo regiment outside the city - Tian Yue was shocked when he saw the paper kite, and hurriedly gathered the good shooters in the army, and sent arrows to try to shoot it down - but the heavens fulfilled the wishes, and the paper kite flew straight out of the encirclement, and finally fell into the camp of Ma Sui.

Seeing the distress text on the paper kite, the three generals thought that it could not be delayed, so they rushed straight to Lincheng.

The generals Yang Chaoguang and Lu Zichang under Tian Yue led 5,000 Wei Bo soldiers and set up a fence camp in Lu Mansion outside Linwei City, cutting off the road between Zhang Ling and the rescuers.
