Zheng Rentai rode under the sheep intestine trail of Huqi Mountain, with peaks and peaks in the distance, pine and cypress, and the sound of waves in the pine forest on the side of the road, the breeze came slowly, and the fresh air made people feel more comfortable. Zheng Rentai is now a hundred commanders of the Tang Army, specializing in dealing with horse thieves and miscellaneous hu, and buying off the grain and grass materials of the other party's attack on the Jiexiu Hexi Army, or patrol squads; Sometimes, Zheng Rentai also took his brothers to take off their Mingguang armor and pretend to be horse thieves to go on a trip to Fa Fa Li City.

Although Zheng Rentai was less than thirty years old, he was already a real veteran, he joined the army at the age of fifteen, and was originally a soldier in Yulin County, when the Turks attacked the fort, they killed everyone stationed there, and only Zheng Rentai survived hiding in a cave. After the Turks withdrew, Zheng Rentai was very clever not to go to Yulin, but traveled all the way, took the seal of the lord of the war and ran directly to Taiyuan, and with three Turkic heads, he joined Li Yuan's 3,000 Hedong dead soldiers.

This trip to Huqi Mountain went well, and he shot and killed a patrol squad of the Hexi Army near Genjin Pond, and Jung In-tae shot an arrow through the chest of the patrol squad leader. After cutting off the ten heads, Zheng Rentai quickly left the Yuanshen Pond with the heads and booty, and galloped south with a hundred horses and returned to Lingshi County; In order to avoid the brigade of the Hexi Army, Zheng Rentai specially avoided the main road and walked more than 60 miles of mountain roads from the mountain pass of Tianjun Mountain.

The mountain pass is called a step cliff, which was originally a Jedi, and later the locals changed the mountain temple and opened up a road out of the mountain. The mountain temple was destroyed by the war, the stele is hard to find, the bluestone and the debris are scattered inside and outside the half-section of the earthen wall, and on the side of the rock beside the road, a thick ancient pine still flourishes, and the heroic posture still exists. The Tang army did not expect that at the three-way pass outside the mountain pass, it was stopped by a Hexi army of 500 people, led by an officer in his early twenties, called Meng Zhen.

Obviously, the other party chased after him along the main road and rushed to the front of Zheng Rentai; Meng Zhan has a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a rough style, and informal clothing, and he has to check when he opens his mouth. A hundred horses obviously have a few more horses, which has to be suspicious; How could Zheng Rentai agree, although he scared off the saddle of the Hexi Army, but the brand of the horse did not have time to be removed, besides, ten heads were in the team.

Zheng Rentai forcibly refused, and the soldiers on both sides drew their weapons and automatically dispersed into formation; During the dispute, Meng Zhen suddenly provoked the burden on Zheng Rentai's horse's back with a shot, and the biscuits and fried rice fell out. Biscuits are a special military package of the Hexi Army, which can only be enjoyed by senior officers, and ordinary junior officers and non-commissioned officers can only count on the rewards of their superiors; Fried rice is also a dry food that soldiers can only receive when they go to work.

Under the order of Meng Zhen, the Hexi Army launched an attack; Zheng Rentai was so eager that he had to give the order to break through, and in a fierce battle, seventy Tang soldiers became ghosts under the sword, and Zheng Rentai was lucky to escape back to Lingshi County. The war between the Tang Army and the Hexi Army was finally ignited, and Wu Duan'er fought with Li Yuan for more than a year, killing tens of thousands of brothers, and he had long wanted to take revenge; At the same time as reporting to Shangxian, Yang Yanshi's army set off for Pingyao with an order. After four days of bloody battles, this nail was pulled out directly across Qi County and Jiexiu.

Wu Wei'er did not lose his mind, knowing that it was not the time for a decisive battle with the Tang army, Yang Chong's intention was to ask the Tang army to return to Taiyuan and consume troops; So instead of going south to seize Lingshi County and blockade the Bird Mouse Valley, he stared at the wealth of Pingyao. In the counties that were captured by Liang De and Yang Shiluo, a large number of wealthy scholars hid in Pingyao County with their belongings, as well as military supplies such as grain and grass that had been hoarded.

Liang De was overjoyed to hear that the Hexi Army had entered the war, and agreed to Yang Shiluo to go south for reinforcements; After four days of bloody battles, Yang Shiluo and Yang Yanshi captured Pingyao County and pulled out the nail that was directly across Qi County and Jiexiu. When Yang Chong received the battle situation of Tianjun Mountain, he was worried about the matter of Yujuluo, the Li family in Longxi had too much impact, public opinion was boiling, Li Baiyao publicly condemned the atrocities of the Hexi army, and even Cui Hongsheng and Wei Jie sent people to inquire.

Yang Chong didn't think that Yu Juluo had done anything wrong, the situation in Longxi County was different from other places, the Li family was deeply rooted, any Huairou policy would not work in a short period of time, but he didn't have time, Yu Juluo quickly cut through the mess It was a good choice, and Yu Juluo also wrote a letter to apologize afterwards. But Yuan Wei and Wei Zheng didn't do it, Wei Zheng said very clearly: "The Hexi Army has been adhering to the Mo family and love all the way, and the only one who does not love the Li family in Longxi will make the five surnames and seven looks suspicious." ”

The strength of the five surnames and seven hopes can shake a country, whether it is Dou Jiande, Gao Kaidao of Hebei, or Li Yuan and Li Mi, there are the shadows of the seven top gate valves behind them, if they are suspicious of this matter and have an opinion, Yang Chong is equivalent to being an enemy of the world, and the consequences are very serious. Yang Chong understands, and Yu Juluo also understands, otherwise Yu Juluo would not have written to ask for guilt and take all the responsibility on himself.

The Yuan family doesn't care about the five surnames and seven wangs, but the Yuju Luo Lianke County is too popular, especially the tens of thousands of Hu riders in hand, Yuan Wei is a little worried, so he is in favor of suppressing the sharpness of Yujuluo. It is Yu Xuan and Fang Yanzao who speak for Yu Juluo, the reason is equally simple, compete for the world, and the opponent will do everything; The Li clan in Longxi stood in a hostile position, so they should be taught a lesson, didn't Yujuluo leave Changchuan County, and didn't kill them all.

Su Dingfang sent in the battle report of Xihe County, Yang Chong faced everyone's eyes, and after reading it quickly, he said thoughtfully: "Give Changchuan County to Anding County, and let Yujuluo bring the cavalry of the Dang Xiangqiang and Shatuo tribes and the Baiyu battalion to the county." With the four counties of Didao, Caohan, Longxi and Lintao as Longzhou, Du Yan served as the assassin history, Shi Daqian and Xie Yingdeng were the main and deputy Sima commanders to lead the army, Yuwen Rutong took over as the Zhangye county guard, and Liang Jianfang was the Yiwu county guard. ”

This is a plan that is acceptable to all parties, and the war with Li Yuan is imminent, and the fish will be sent to Shangxian, which will play a greater role; In order to cope with the war, the fierce generals of the Western Regions have begun to call back to the Central Plains, and when Hu Qi came to the east, Wei Yuanzhao and Yuwen Chengdu had already left, and the eldest grandson Wunai was appointed as the last county guard. Du Yan was born in the Shi clan and served as the assassin of Longzhou, which could alleviate the contradiction between Yang Chong and the Li clan and give the Guan Sergeant clan a signal of goodwill.

Jiang Duo is currently the number one general in Shangxian County, and because of his relationship with Yang Chong, he didn't participate in the debate just now, and asked, "Is there an accident in Xihe County?" ”

"It's a war." Yang Chong handed the battle report to Jiang Duo and said lightly: "That bold thing will never wait for my permission, and now he will definitely send troops." You informed Fang Xuanling to imprison Li Xiuning, and Li Yuan's hidden stakes in Hexi were all pulled out; Let's take a look at the battle report and talk about it, what should I do? ”
