The New Year of the Liang Dynasty has just passed five days, and to the surprise of the Tang army and the people of the Liang Dynasty, the Divine Killing Cavalry and the Guangyuan Army mixed among the people and attacked Huazhou with surprise tactics, and the Huazhou defenders hastily responded to give the Liang Dynasty army an opportunity to take advantage of. The Liang Dynasty army besieged Huazhou City with the fastest speed, and then launched the most rapid momentum to attack the city defense, because the momentum of the attack was too violent, Huazhou City was breached after only a few hours, and one of them performed extremely eye-catching, this person was taller than the ordinary Liang Dynasty soldiers with two heads, bare upper body, wielding a gossip compass, almost invincible.

The siege lasted from morning to night, and after many casualties, Huazhou finally returned to the Liang dynasty. One of the more absolute is that the Liang Dynasty locked the city gate after recapturing Huazhou, and launched a bloody massacre of the Tang Dynasty army that remained in the city, which was a massacre of a heavily armed army against another army that had almost become a prisoner.

The Lower Tang army in Huazhou totaled 30,000 people, and almost no one escaped this battle and massacre, and all the Lower Tang soldiers became the swords of the Liang Dynasty army. The heavy snow a few days ago couldn't hide the blood and mountains of corpses all over the place, aren't these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty human? They also have families, wives and children, and parents, and although being a soldier is a high-risk industry, killing has always been considered ominous.

Those who have died in the battle will not see the glory afterward, and this battle has greatly boosted the military morale and popular spirit of the Liang Dynasty, which has been sluggish for a year, and let the courtiers and people of the Liang Dynasty see the hope of national rejuvenation. Among them, Emperor Liang was the happiest, after the recovery of Huazhou, he was greatly relieved, the threat to the capital was temporarily lifted, and then he was more confident to recover all those fallen lands.

The people don't know how high the standard of the celebration banquet is, but everyone can know how big the scale is if you think about it, the main heroes of this military operation are still Shen Qianji and Yan Keran, as well as the commander of the Divine Killing Cavalry, Wengu and Yang Zhong, the commander of the Guangyuan Army. There are also some familiar names in the list of imperial court rewards this time, Ou Luyang was promoted to General Ningyuan under Zhengwupin, and Yang Jing and Huo Qing were promoted to Deputy Lieutenant Zhaowu under Zhengliupin.

The first battle in the early years of Qianfeng was so vigorous and quick to decide, and the news was transmitted between countries with the fastest news, and it was the above content when it reached Xiao Yunqi's ears. After listening to Mo Chengfeng's narration, Xiao Yunqi didn't have much expression and didn't speak.

"General, this battle should have been fought with the help of our previous victory. In my opinion, it is always better for the land to return to the hands of the Liang Dynasty than to be in the hands of the Lower Tang Dynasty. Pei Zhenghao expressed his opinion.

"But this battle is really not something to be celebrated in the eyes of the last general." Feng Chu opened his mouth and said: "Slaughtering the city and killing and surrendering this is the most despicable thing in all countries, and now Daliang, who has always been known for his civilization, has taken the lead in doing such a thing, so isn't it even more intensified after Xiliang and the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"The Tang Dynasty is just to blame, but the approach of the imperial court is also short-sighted." Zhang Hanshan said: "After that, the relationship between the three countries is not only delicate, but will become more contradictory. I heard that there was a very different person in this who was working for the court? ”

Mo Chengfeng said: "That's right, it is indeed mentioned in the battle report, but the detailed information about this person has not yet arrived." ”

Zhang Hanshan began to fall into deep thought, Xiao Yunqi looked at him and said, "Do you think this person is a little familiar?" ”

"Of course I know!" After listening to the news of the battle in Huazhou, Xuan Shaoning said: "This person should be Xiliang's killer Yu Duoli, and we fought against each other on the battlefield of Donghu at the beginning!" ”

"I've also heard Scarlet Yan mention, wasn't this person sent to the capital for trial as a prisoner after the Battle of Exterminating Hu? Why did you stand on the side of the imperial court at this time to help defeat Tang? Duan Lang was a little puzzled.

Su Qian waved the folding fan, drank the warm tea soup leisurely, and looked at the four of them with a detached attitude, as if he was really just a believer, and those things that happened had nothing to do with him.

"Hey, I said Su Qian, why are you so leisurely? Shaoning, can you tell me what we should do next? We've been in this Yaojue Temple for a few days, so we can't continue like this, can we? ”

Duan Lang's words were not wrong, Xuan Shaoning was not unaware, he also wanted to return to Mobei as soon as possible. When I wanted to go down the mountain a few days ago, didn't I happen to encounter the imperial court's use of troops against Huazhou, which caused the situation in this area to become extremely tense, and there was a curfew at night, and they couldn't even go down this Yinyue Mountain, so how could they go back to Mobei?

"I remember Huo Qing wasn't your classmate? I don't have a deep impression of him, it seems that he has not been with you very much, and this time he also has his share in the military exploits, and the sixth grade is not low. Rouge said that she had keenly found the point of entry to the topic.

"Huo Qing ......" Xuan Shaoning's memory of him stayed in the Battle of Anzhou, and they never had a chance to meet since then. After Mobei was listed as a rebel by the imperial court, Huo Qing joined the imperial court with Ou Luyang, and he had been silent for a long time.

"Hey, Huo Qing, what do you say? The world has evolved to such a field, it's really a trick of God. Shaoning, you said that we are now clearly separated from Huo Qing, right? He is an officer, and we are rebels. ”

Sarcasm, really sarcasm, in the bottom of his heart, Xuan Shaoning was quite happy about Huo Qing's military exploits, but he was really not happy when he thought of him being opposed to his identity. What else can I do? Xuan Shaoning's only hope is that one day they will not become two sides of the battle and meet on the battlefield, and for some reason, when he thought of this level, he immediately jumped out of a name, that is, Yan Keran.

"Huazhou City is already a sea of blood at this time, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can't escape death whether they fight to the last moment or surrender at the end, and the imperial court is really a little cruel this time. Although it is said that the battle is against the enemy, how can those people in Huazhou City not be affected by the war at all? Xing Gang said regretfully, his words are the hearts of most Chinese people.

The atmosphere became sensitive and embarrassing at this time, Su Qian really couldn't stand it, so he had to put away the folding fan and said: "The imperial court needs this battle to build the morale of the national army, and the massacre is inevitable, in the eyes of the politicians, what does it matter about the life and death of some people?" I'm afraid that today's court is not as good as the previous court, what can we do? Su Qian said and deliberately observed Xuan Shaoning's face.

"Su Qian, can you do us another favor?"

"Shaoning, what else do we want to help or not to help with?"

"In the past few days after the war, the imperial court's control over the two cities is still very strict, I really don't want to continue to waste time here, and please pass on some more news to us, we want to return to Mobei as soon as possible."

"Well said! No one in our Su family's convoy would dare to search casually in normal times, as long as these special days are over, I will immediately arrange for you to leave in disguise! ”

Three days later, Su Qian fulfilled his promise and sent a convoy to escort Xuan Shaoning and his party out of Yinyue Mountain, and at the same time successfully passed through the checkpoints of the Liang Dynasty until they entered the jurisdiction of the Lower Tang Dynasty.

Just as he was leaving the capital, Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but look back at this city that carried joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and he imagined that maybe someone was also looking in his direction, right? Xuan Shaoning's feeling is not wrong, she is also looking out of the city and Yun Xuan, once she enters the palace, she will come to Skylark Terrace, which can be regarded as an aftertaste of the past.

Yan Keran's prestige reached an unprecedented peak after the First World War in Huazhou, not only accepting a large number of rewards from the imperial court, but also becoming a model among the courtiers. As a result, Yan Keran spent less time with Yun Xuan, he didn't even go home for a few days, and he never asked Yun Xuan how he spent these cold nights.

"Maybe it was wrong from .......the beginning," Yun Xuan muttered as she looked farther into the distance where she had no chance to reach in this life.
