Chapter 533, the battlefield of Xuzhou (4)
Xu Zhiyue was slashed to death by Li Cunba.
Xu Zhiyue's original name was Li Zhiyue, and he was surnamed Xu after his mother's surname. His father's name is Li Sishe. His father was a royal family of the former Tang Dynasty. His mother's name is Xu Qing. He is the second son of Li Sishe. Li Sishe's eldest son is Xu Zhihao.
Since Xu Zhiyue was the royal family of the former Tang Dynasty, he always had the idea of "revenge" in his heart.
He always thought that the country belonged to their family, and the emperor should do it to the people of their family, so he "dug the corner of Li Cunqiao" three times and twice.
In the last time he was in the "Xuzhou Rebellion", he used to use the pseudonym "Li Zhongyi" to make trouble in Xuzhou and Daoan (Kong Lian) in Xuzhou.
After the failure of the first Xuzhou Rebellion, he still did not forget his "revenge plan", and then when Xu Tianshun took Yancheng, he once helped Xu Tianshun take Yancheng.
Later, he followed his brother Xu Zhihao to continue to be an enemy of Li Cunxuan.
To this day, his brother Xu Zhihao asked him to guard Yancheng, but he was defeated by Li Cunba and was killed by Li Cunba.
If he wasn't the royal family of the former Tang Dynasty, he might not have died at a young age, and if he was an ordinary person, he might have been able to live his life peacefully.
A few days ago, Kong Lian once said that the wheel of history cannot be turned back.
Although those words from Kong Lian at that time sounded a bit strong, there was some truth to them.
Xu Zhiyue's life came to an end prematurely.
*******
It's a pity that when Xu Zhiyue was dying, he didn't use his real name "Li Zhiyue".
Why didn't he use his real name "Li Zhiyue"?
Because most of the world is now owned by Li Cunqing, he is afraid that if he says that he is a former Tang royal family, he will be wanted or assassinated by Li Cunqing.
*******
Let's talk about Li Cunba.
Li Cunba killed Xu Zhiyue and took Yancheng, he was very happy.
He immediately appeared on the list of An Min.
He also praised Qi Feng, Qiao Zhou, Du Chong, Cui Kai and others.
Then he gave the order to celebrate with wine.
*******
At this time, I still have to say a few words about Xu Zhiyue.
While drinking, Qiao Zhou, Du Chong, and Cui Kainian Xu Zhiyue had once bowed to him, and they asked Li Cunba to bury Xu Zhiyue, and Li Cunba also nodded and agreed.
Li Cunba said: "Okay. People die without enmity. ”
*******
Let's talk about Guo Chongtao outside Xuzhou.
Soon. Li Cunba's soldiers took Yancheng and killed Xu Zhiyue, and reported it to Guo Chongtao.
As soon as Guo Chongtao heard that Li Cunba had taken down Yancheng, he was very happy.
Guo Chongtao said in his heart: This time Xu Zhihao is 100% defeated!
*******
Guo Chongtao immediately made corresponding arrangements, he immediately wrote a letter to Li Cunba, he asked Li Cunba to guard Yancheng, and he also told Li Cunba that Xu Zhihao's grain convoy must not pass through Yancheng.
Guo Chongtao also wrote a letter to Bai Xiong, in which he also told Bai Xiong that Xu Zhihao's grain convoy must not be allowed to pass through Huainan.
Guo Chongtao also specially praised and rewarded Qi Feng, Qiao Zhou, Du Chong, and Cui Kai.
*******
However, when Guo Chongtao rewarded Qi Feng, Qiao Zhou, Du Chong, and Cui Kai, Meng Zhixiang spoke again.
Meng Zhixiang said: "Prime Minister Guo." I don't think Du Chong and Cui Kai you can't reuse. You can reuse Qi Feng and Qiao Zhou. Because Qi Feng and Qiao Zhou are loyal to the emperor, but it is different if you reuse Du Chong and Cui Kai. Look at the personalities of Du Chong and Cui Kai. Du Chong and Cui Kai descended on us today, Xu Zhihao tomorrow, the day after tomorrow to us, the day after tomorrow to descend to Xu Zhihao, and the day after tomorrow to descend to us, how many times have they fallen with the wind?
Guo Chongtao said: "The original appearance has its own conclusion, no need to say more!" “
Guo Chongtao "blasted Meng Zhixiang out" again.
*******
Let's talk about Xu Zhihao in Xuzhou City.
At this time, although the news of Yancheng being lost and Xu Zhiyue being beheaded had not yet reached Yancheng, Xu Zhihao already felt that there was no strength to stay in Xuzhou any longer.
Xu Zhihao knows. If he stays in Xuzhou any longer, he will not be able to defeat Guo Chongtao's men, and he will not be able to enter the north.
At the same time, Xu Zhihao also understood that Guo Chongtao had already sent Li Cunba to take Yancheng. He was also worried that his brother Xu Zhiyue was not Li Cunba's opponent.
At this time, Xu Zhihao wanted to retreat and go back.
Xu Zhihao told his idea to several generals under him, and several of his generals also agreed.
*******
After Xu Zhihao decided to withdraw from the army, he led his men out of Xuzhou City.
After a hard battle, Xu Zhihao led his men south.
*******
Is Xu Zhihao so easy to go?
Of course.
Now Xu Zhihao still has a lot of people.
Now Xu Zhihao still has more than 100,000 horses.
Now the situation of Xu Zhihao and Guo Chongtao is. If Xu Zhihao guards in Xuzhou for a long time, Guo Chongtao can't take Xuzhou for a while, and if Xu Zhihao leaves Xuzhou. Guo Chongtao couldn't stop him if he wanted to.
*******
Let's talk about Guo Chongtao first.
Guo Chongtao saw that Xu Zhihao's men and horses had left Xuzhou, and he entered Xuzhou.
After Guo Chongtao entered Xuzhou, he immediately appeared on the list of An Min and rewarded meritorious soldiers and set up wine to celebrate.
******
At this time, Guo Chongtao advocated making peace with Yang Xing, the king of Wu.
Guo Chongtao believes that he can be cured, but he will die.
Guo Chongtao was unwilling to tie up his feud with Yang Xingmi too deeply.
If he and Yang Xingmi have a deep enmity, if Yang Xingmi fights with him to the end, he is also a little worried.
Now Yang Xingmi still has a lot of territory and friends.
******
Guo Chongtao decided to send someone to make peace with Yang Xingmi.
Guo Chongtao wrote a letter to Yang Xingmi.
Guo Chongtao wrote in a letter to Yang Xingmi:
"Datang and Wu were originally friendly neighbors. In recent days, there has been some unpleasantness between Datang and Wu.
As for why Wu Guo met with the Tang Dynasty soldiers this time, Guo Mou was a little incomprehensible.
Guo believes that Guo has no place to offend Wu Guo, and Datang has no place to offend Wu Guo.
Regarding why Wu Guo met with the Tang Dynasty, Guo doesn't want to ask more now.
Now Guo wants to talk about peace with Wu Guo and strike the war.
You also know that if you and I continue to stalemate like this for a long time, it will not benefit anyone. “
After Guo Chongtao wrote the letter, he asked Meng Zhixiang to go to Wu to write the letter.
At first, Guo Chongtao didn't want Meng Zhixiang to go, because Guo Chongtao didn't like Meng Zhixiang these days, but he saw that his subordinates really couldn't pick out a suitable person, so he had to let Meng Zhixiang go.
*******
Guo Chongtao wanted to make peace with Yang Xingmi, he thought very well, but it backfired.
This happened to Xu Zhihao.
After Xu Zhihao led the troops from Xuzhou, he led the troops to the south, and when he walked near Yancheng, he got the news that his brother Xu Zhiyue was killed by Li Cunba.
As soon as Xu Zhihao heard that his brother was dead, he was in a hurry.
Xu Zhihao instructed his soldiers: "Don't withdraw your troops yet, continue to fight Guo Chongtao." Fight Yancheng first to avenge my brother! (To be continued.) )
