Immediately, Gao Yue was uneasy and walked into the courtyard.

"Third brother." Zhihui came out from under the porch and put a fur coat on him, worried that he would get cold.

"Zhihui, I have to leave Shouchun and go to Yuncheng to direct the final attack on Cai Thief."

When Zhi Hui heard this, how could she let the third brother go alone, so she also asked to take care of Gao Yue's life, but Gao Yue refused, saying that the Huaixi war is Fang Tu, and I will take you back to Yangzhou after this turbulent time.

As a result, in the yahall, Xuanwujun suddenly came with two infantry officers, who came to bargain on behalf of Li Wanrong and Gao Yue.

Questions about Yingzhou.

Xuanwu Buguan said: Under our town management, in addition to Biansong, there are also Bo and Yingzhou.

"This person knows it." Gao Yue sat behind the table, a little impatient, he knew what Li Wanrong was going to say.

Sure enough, Xuanwu meant that Yingzhou had previously been attacked by Cai thieves because of the reinforcement of the main force of our army on the Linying and Xiaohe fronts, so it was taken advantage of by Cai thieves, so that Ruyin, Shenqiu, Yingshang and other counties fell one after another.

Gao Yue's opinion on this is completely different, "The imperial court set up an army to build teeth, which is completely in response to the needs of the war situation, how can there be a reason to treat a certain state and a certain county as a forbidden state?" The final ownership of Yingzhou, please also ask Li Situ to wait for the ruling of the imperial court. ”

The two Xuanwu infantry officials were very surprised and indignant, this Gao Yue actually relied on his status as the ruling court to seize the state and county of my town, but he didn't dare to attack in person, so he could only give up.

As a matter of fact, Gao Yue not only sent troops from Huainan Town to be stationed in Shenqiu, Ruyin, and Yingshang, but also directly asked the imperial court and his subordinate Lu Zhen to arrange for the county commanders and county lieutenants to be placed in several counties in Yingzhou, and the personnel were selected from among the new Jinshi or former officials who were elected by the seniors last year.

In the same way as Yingzhou, there are also most of Gwangju and Shenju.

Gao Yue's behavior was very praised by the court, and it can be said that he accurately grasped the contradiction between the bureaucracy and the feudal town, so as to promote the two groups to "form a feud" and let himself gain more support.

For the bureaucrats, no matter how they become officials, whether it is the shade of the door or the imperial examination, "one radish and one pit" is the eternal criterion. Originally, the most painful thing for the bureaucrats of the Tang Dynasty was that since the rebellion of the history of the monks and porridge and the lack of An, a large number of prefectures and counties in Helong fell, and then Heshuo, Ziqing, Huaixi, Biansong and other towns belonged to the list of "not counting", and the local officials were all independent arrangements made by the festival are now different, Gao Yue recovered more than ten states in Helong, and immediately laid down Huaixi, and a total of twenty or thirty counties in the four prefectures of Shenguang and Cai'an were returned to the imperial court, so that a large number of idle radishes, no, the bureaucrats can find a new "pit", everyone has officials to do, isn't it beautiful?

So I came from Xuanwu Town to Yingzhou, what's the matter, what's the matter!

The Jinshi and the bureaucracy, now in the Jingshi, are all one-sided supporters of Gao Yue, and they can't wait to hope that after he finishes pacifying Huaixi, he will go to Pingziqing and Heshuo non-stop.

"You guys are happy, and I have a new conflict with Xuanwu Town." With such contradictory thoughts, Gao Yue set off from Shouchun by boat.

In the Xichang Temple on the shore of the Boat Officer Lake, the officials of the entire shogunate and the patrol court gathered in groups to bid farewell to the high mountain in the place, and for a time the poems were loaded on the ship full of baskets, which can be described as the prosperity of Swen.

By the time Gao Yue's boat entered the river, the official army's attack on Yuncheng had reached a white-hot state.

At the mouth of the big river, Cai Fengyuan mobilized soldiers along the river bank to dig out seven artillery forts, laid out the corresponding number of large copper cannons, the shells were day and night, dragging the tail of blue-gray smoke trails, whistling and bombarding the south wall of Yuncheng, and most of the high-rise buildings of the Huaixi army on the city wall were destroyed. Later, Cai Fengyuan used boats to lay up a pontoon bridge, mobilized the jumping soldiers to push the donkey carts, went to the city wall, dug the earth as a hurdle, destroyed the city wall, and took turns to climb the siege of the city, and used a small boat to carry Shenlei gunpowder, ready to stuff it into the excavated wall hole, and blow up the south wall.

The soldiers in the city were terrified.

As for the north of the city, the officers and troops supervised by Du Huangshang calmly dug out the long wall with an oblique road, and ran two trenches in parallel to cut into the Lingyunzha and Yuncheng, cutting off the connection between the two places. Then Du Huangshang ordered to take the Loyal Army and the Shenwei Army as the vanguard to concentrate on attacking Lingyun Gate.

On December 10, the soldiers of the Zhongwu Army Quhuan and the Shenwei Army Liu Chang, who were as dense as ants, rushed to climb the Yanyue Fortress of Lingyun Gate, cut down the wooden fence, and filled the trench with the cut firewood and straw bundles, and then started a fierce white-knuckle battle with the Huaixi soldiers.

And Du Huangshang was a hundred steps away, supervising the battle and incentivizing, and there was a full 300,000 yuan of money behind him, which was allocated by the emperor from the inner treasury to seize the rewards of Lingyunzha and Yuncheng.

Two hours later, Lingyunzha's Huaixi army was not supported, like a beast burned by smoke and fire, and fled to the bottom of the hill in a hurry, only to fall into the trenches dug by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers stationed on the earthen embankment fired arrows and threw stones like rain, killing them all.

In the billowing smoke, at the northeast corner of Lingyun Gate, more than 100 Huaixi soldiers shouted, holding their heads, and some bowed their heads and arched their hands, ran out from behind the wooden fence, screaming and begging for surrender, shouting: "We are Huaining soldiers, and we have made meritorious contributions to the crusade against Liang Chongyi, but we have ......been mistaken by Wu Shaocheng's thieves."

But the children of the Shenwei army twenty steps away, but they all shouted "Revenge for Dr. Kong", the fire gun in his hand flickered, and the lead shot carried the angry flames, like the tail of a broom, swept down a large piece of the begging Huaixi soldiers who rushed out, and the rest knelt down, and were also rushed by Liu Changbu, all of them swung their knives and slashed them, cut off their heads and ears, and went to ask Du Huangshang for credit.

Not only were Lingyunzha's 2,000 Huaixi soldiers exhausted, but Wu Shaocheng's troops, who went out of the city to fight against the battle, were also violently attacked by the official cavalry in turn, suffering heavy casualties, and could only escape into the city.

"Down, down!" When a group of generals shouted that Yuncheng could not be defended, they ran to Zicheng, and were about to beg Wu Shaocheng to retreat to Runan, but they were angry and learned:

When the battle of Lingyunzha was in full swing, Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping rode more than ten horses, from the small gate in the west of the city, left everyone and Yuncheng, and fled to the bridge gate of Huiquxing.

"Damn!" The Huaixi generals all shouted angrily, drew their swords, and cut down the stone monument and colonnade of the public hall to a lot of traces.

When Gao Yue's ships reached the south of Yuncheng, he could see that all corners of the city had been set up with ladders, and the officers and soldiers were climbing up them, while the guards seemed to have completely lost their fighting spirit, and were either killed or jumped into the ditches under the city, and their bones were shattered.

After the city gate was opened, Yang Yuanqing, who was dressed in sackcloth, had red eyes, held a blade, led dozens of soldiers, searched and arrested house by house, and killed people when they saw them.

This situation, even Gao Yue, who was unwilling to forgive Huaixi, was deeply shocked, and when he rode to the county party, he also saw countless miserable white women's feet, hanging on the beam, swaying in the yin wind, as for the corpses, they were all covered with hair, looking at them like ghosts.

The officers and soldiers on all sides brought firewood and grass, piled them on the wall of the public hall, and then threw down the pine, and the flames ignited, gradually engulfing the corpses on the beams, just like the hellish scrolls. Fupin Chinese
