3. Slaughter the autumn soldiers

"Li Yuanping?" When the emperor heard this name, he was still a little dazed.

"Li Yuanping, who was once elected by Guan Bo, served as the assassin of Ruzhou. Li Xilie rebelled, and once sent Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang to attack Ruzhou, and the city of Neizhou fell within an hour, Li Yuanping was executed, and then lost his position Li Xilie's hypocrisy. After Li Xilie was ambushed, Li Yuanping fled back to Shenguang Cai, and at this time he would inevitably start to make waves again. "Before Gao Yue set out on the expedition, he analyzed the emperor like this.

"In this way, Guanghong's foreign aid is not the Suining Army, but the Caizhou Army?"

"The Holy Lord has seen it very well."

So the emperor hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept the Huaixi army that came to defend the autumn, and could not let them approach Chang'an City, so as not to cause Li Huaiguang's rebellion against Que from happening again.

The result is being guessed by Gao Yue:

This demon monk Guanghong has been secretly in contact with Li Yuanping for a long time, and his demagogic path in the Beijing Division, what Taishan Saburo and Huai Linggu, were also trained by Li Yuanping.

Because Li Yuanping once vowed to avenge his confidant Li Xilie.

Before Guanghong's rebellion, Li Yuanping colluded with the Wu brothers, set off a rebellion in Shenzhou and Caizhou, entered the military palace, imprisoned Chen Xianqi and Chen's wife Dou, and then immediately sent Wu Fachao, the soldier and horse envoy of the left mule army, Zhang Chongjing, and the army and horse envoy Zhang Chongjing, and caught up with the town's anti-autumn team, replacing the original command of Supu, and secretly inciting officers and soldiers, saying that the Beijing division had been taken by the master Guanghong, and when I arrived at Zhongwei Bridge, I took the opportunity to enter Beiyuan, seize the Daming Palace, and then capture the entire Chang'an City.

"After entering Chang'an City, don't ask the palace and the market, gold and silver, silk silk, and women are at your own disposal." In this way, Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing instigated most of the anti-autumn Huai Western soldiers, and this group of Caizhou thieves was eager to try again, wanting to realize Li Yuanping's heavenly conspiracy.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at Zhongwei Bridge in the north of Beijing, he encountered the imperial court officials and soldiers who were waiting for him.

Seeing that the plot was seen through by the imperial court, Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing hurriedly led their troops and rushed to Tongguan after seizing the road.

Duan Xiushi, Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and Tan Zhizhong led Shence, Shenwei, and Zhen Haijun to chase after him.

Na Supu was confused, stayed where he was, and was arrested by the officers and soldiers.

"Slash!" Duan Xiushi said.

Su Pukou was wronged, and he had no objection.

At this time, Gao Yue interceded for Su Pu on the side, saying that this was Chen Xianqi's soldier and horse envoy, and Chen was loyal to the imperial court.

Duan Xiushi forgave Su Pu.

Su Pu was grateful to Gao Yue, and Gao Yue said to him, now there are many Caizhou soldiers in my Dingwu army who have changed their hearts - loyalty to my emperor and Tang is a soldier, and disobedience to my emperor and Tang is a thief, and General Su must know it.

"I am willing to serve the Dingwu army, build a bridge for Gao Jieshuai to meet the water, and open the way for the mountains." Su Pu hurriedly pledged his allegiance to the death.

When they arrived at Dali in Tongzhou, the emperor suddenly sent an envoy to them and said: "The soldiers of Caizhou in Huaixi have always been brave, so you must not rush to chase them, so as not to fall into an ambush." I have issued an edict to Hun Yang and Shang Kegu, please wait for the reinforcements of these two marshals in Dali. ”

Duan Xiushi, who received the order, said to Gao Yue and Wei Gao in private, "The Holy Lord is still afraid that there are still Guanghong remnants in Chang'an City, so he doesn't want our army to stay away from Gyeonggi. ”

"The only one who can intercept the traitors Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing is the Shaanxi Defense Observation Envoy Li Yu." Gao Yue said.

Duan Xiushi bowed his head and said that once Hun Xuan and Shang Ke would meet alone, we would cross Tongguan and continue to pursue this group of rebellious Cai thieves.

A few days later, the Youyi under the command of Hun Yang led 500 elite horsemen to cross Pujin and come to the aid from the river; At the same time, Shang Kegu, the defense envoy of the new gold merchants, led two thousand Ning troops from Lantian County to Duan Taiwei's camp.

"Yes, now that the soldiers and horses are gathered, chase after the Cai thief, don't let him escape to this town." Duan Xiushi prepared to send troops.

As a result, at this moment, several battalion generals from Shaanxi came to Dali on horseback and reported to Duan Xiushi:

The 5,000 Huaixi rebels led by Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing have been completely defeated by Li Yu, and there is not one out of ten who return to Huaixi.

"Li Shaoyuan is clever, I can't do it." Duan Xiushi was greatly impressed.

It turned out that these 5,000 Huaixi soldiers escaped from the Zhongwei Bridge, broke through Tongguan to the east, and entered the boundary of Shaanzhou. ”

So Li Mi instructed the Lingbao County Commander to provide food for Wu Fachao's entire army.

After Wu Fachao's Huaixi soldiers had a full meal, they thought that Li Yumeng was in the drum, so they swaggered and began to camp in Lingbao.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi had secretly arranged: at that time, there were only 3,000 soldiers in Shaanxi, so Li Mi selected 400 brave soldiers to ambush at the Taiyuan Cang Pass in the east of Lingbao, and ordered Tang Ying'an to lead 1,500 soldiers to ambush in the north of the river by night.

The next day, Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing led the army to set off for the camp, and after walking for a while, the people were hungry, so they prepared to go to Taiyuan Cang to grab grain.

As a result, at the pass, Li Yu's 400 ambush soldiers fired in unison, killing a quarter of the Huaixi army.

The remnants of the Huaixi army, under the leadership of Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing, fled to Changshui County like a lost dog, trying to cross the mountains and return to Huaixi.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi had already prepared, and arranged for all Yan Zichu to lead four hundred elite horsemen to kill halfway.

The Huaixi army, which had not eaten for two days, was completely collapsed by this blow, Wu Fachao was caught off guard and was beheaded by Yan Zichu under the mule, and Zhang Chongjing, the soldier and horse envoy of the Huaixi mule army, was captured by Yan Zichu - in the end, only three or four hundred remnants were left in Shenzhou, all of them were like lonely ghosts.

In front of the mighty Yellow River, at the extremely high Tongguan, Li Mi shook the feather fan with a smile to greet Duan Xiushi, Gao Yue, and Wei Gao who had come here, and then everyone was in Tongguan, looking at the Yellow River and Xiongguan from afar, and the wind swayed, blowing the clothes on their bodies, and their hearts were full of emotion.

At this time, Li Mi put away his smile and said in a deep voice, the sky is not fake Han Jin Gongshou, but it is a pity that he can't see the day when my Tang Xiong division commander drives back Hehuang.

"Now that I have a strong prisoner outside the Tang Dynasty, and there are traitors like Caizhou inside, if you want to realize Han Xiang's long-cherished wish, you must have my generation's passionate heart." Wei Gao said word by word.

Duan Xiu actually squinted his eyes, and his voice was vicissitudes, "The old man can't wait for that day, he can only look forward to the future generations like Yisong and Chengwu!" ”

At this time, under the pine tree covered by the cover, Cui Qinglai, the official of Tongguan, came to offer tea to you.

"Eighteen brothers!" Gao Yue hurriedly stepped forward and supported Cui Qing.

"It's hard for Gao Binglang to have such a high status, and he can treat me so easily." Cui Ning was very moved, and said that he was also fateful, and this time the Caizhou thief passed the customs, but fortunately he didn't embarrass me.

After Cui Qing left, when everyone was sitting under the pine tree drinking tea with the sound of the waves of the Yellow River, Gao Yue and Wei Gao suddenly pushed the tea cup and tea boat away, and then asked Li Mi to say:

"Now the country is in difficulty, after the death of the Duke of Jin, there is no pillar stone in the court. We will think about it, clean up the mountains and rivers, and it is necessary for the public to - Yue (Gao) is willing to help, and invite the public to enter the political hall as the ruler! ”
