Chapter Ninety-Two: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves VIII

readx;?

More than 1,000 Nanzhao troops who came prepared and took advantage of the rain to attack were tied with the Jiannan army, which was in a hurry, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while. When the two sides were fighting fiercely at the south gate of the Tang army camp at the south gate of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion, Li Sheng led more than 100 soldiers around a big circle and sneaked to the southeast side of the Nanzhao army under the cover of wind and rain.

"Blade Formation! Get ready to charge! When you reach the gate, you shoot to the left, ride and shoot the enemy, and then gather behind the enemy formation and charge again! Remember not to rush into the camp and not to get entangled by enemy troops! Li Sheng has a lot of confidence in his subordinates, and has developed the technique of repeatedly impacting the array. Because the enemy and us in the camp were intertwined and the cavalry could not be used, Li Sheng specially told his subordinates not to get caught up in the middle of it, but to concentrate their forces on galloping in the open space outside the camp to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry.

"Rush!" Li Sheng held a lance in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, taking the lead, breaking through the rain and fog like a god descending from heaven and killing the rear of the Southern Zhao army. Before Li Sheng's lance touched the back of the enemy's army, Nan Jiyun's carving feather had already pierced the back of several barbarian warriors.

"Kill!" Without waiting for the Nanzhao army to react, Li Sheng rushed into the battle with hungry tigers. The horse lance or stabbing or picking, is more tricky than the poisonous snake in the jungle of Jiannan, once it is stained by the lance, it is either dead or injured. Lei Wanchun's blood was full of blood, and his thick right arm waved an eight-edged mace, sweeping over the heads of several Nanzhao soldiers like a violent wind, knocking out dents and cracks in the hard helmet. After shooting and killing several barbarian warriors, Nan Jiyun drew his horizontal knife and slashed and slaughtered, and the rain mixed with blood and rushed down from under the snowy blade.

The three brothers worked together to forge ahead, and in a moment, they chiseled a blood-soaked gap in the back of the Nanzhao army. The rest of the True Source Light Cavalry and Jiannan Soldiers took the opportunity to move forward, constantly expanding the width of the gap with their horse lances and horizontal knives.

"Change formation! The rear army changes formations to meet the enemy! Some people in the Nanzhao army shouted loudly in barbarian language, but the soldiers were huddled together, and there was no time to turn around, causing the array to become more and more chaotic. In the large camp, the soldiers of Jiannan, who were fighting hard with their swords, suddenly felt a light pressure.

"Report! A group of cavalry came from outside the south gate, and they were attacking the rear of the Nanzhao army. The Jiannan Ya soldiers, who were standing on the watchtower and watching the battle, reported the changes in the battlefield to Li Mi in time.

"A squad of cavalry? Li Sheng! Li Mi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Brave and strategic, good!" Order, the whole army presses up, and flanks the enemy! ”

The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt.

"Left!" After rushing to the outside of the gate, Li Sheng let out a roar, and the whole cavalry lightly knocked the war horses, killing through the array of the Nanzhao army from the left side, gushing out like water from a broken embankment. Several torrents converged and turned south.

"Shoot!" Li Sheng hung up his horse, drew his carved bow, and led his men to shoot arrows at the Southern Zhao army. Nan Jiyun, who was replaced with a longbow, kept shooting, and when the feather arrows were shot, there would be a catch.

"Hurry up and deal with the cavalry of the Tang Army outside the camp!" The generals of the Nanzhao Army realized that the threat of Li Sheng and the others was increasing, and shouted at the barbarian warriors with blowguns.

When cavalry fired, the light cavalry could not raise their shields, and the door was wide open. Seeing this, the barbarian warrior raised his cylinder and fired a volley, and more than ten poisonous needles galloped out, hitting the three True Source cavalry at the tail of the team. Zhenyuan Jian'er only snorted a few times, and then fell to the ground and died.

"It's so poisonous! Shoot the enemy with the blowgun first! Li Sheng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, but when the battlefield was raging, he was in a hurry to command the light cavalry to counterattack, and he had no time to think about it.

Nan Jiyun aimed at the leading barbarian warrior, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, a feathered arrow came like lightning, penetrating the blowgun more than two feet long, and the arrow cluster shot out from the back of the enemy's head. The poisonous needle was blown by the air flow of the feather arrows, and it turned back and entered the mouth of the barbarian leader, causing him to die in anger. The rest of the True Source cavalry also bent their bows like the moon, and threw a puff of feathered arrows at the enemy who was blowing poisonous needles. Under the blow of the rain of arrows, the barbarian warriors suffered heavy casualties and had no power to fight back.

"Array! Rush! After galloping to a place hundreds of paces away from the Nanzhao army, Li Sheng summoned the Zhenyuan light cavalry and once again attacked the enemy's back.

At this time, part of the Nanzhao army had already turned around and aimed their spears and swords at the south.

"Get out of the way!" Li Sheng patted Qinghai Cheng and urged it to speed up to the highest speed. When the tip of the spear of the Nanzhao army was close at hand, Li Sheng swept away the blade of the branches, and jumped into the enemy formation.

"Die!" The powerful Lei Wanchun rushed to the horse, roaring in along the gap opened by Li Sheng, harvesting the enemy's lives with an iron shovel. Nan Jiyun calmly followed behind without triggering, wary of the barbarian warriors who could send poisonous needles.

Once the infantry array is torn apart by the cavalry, it is like tofu cut by a hot knife, and it is difficult to maintain. After the Zhenyuan light cavalry rushed into the enemy formation again, the soldiers of the Nanzhao army were demoralized in the face of attacks from both sides, and they had no intention of victory.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The soldiers of the Jiannan Pioneer Battalion in the big camp gathered more and more, forming a semicircle to surround the Nanzhao army. Under the leadership of Li Sheng, the Zhenyuan cavalry was like a sharp scraper, constantly cutting through the not thick array of the Southern Zhao army.

After being charged three times by Zhenyuan's light cavalry, the rear of the Nanzhao army finally collapsed completely, and they abandoned their armor and fled south in a hurry. The rout of the rear battle became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the Nanzhao soldiers who were struggling to support turned around and ran away despite the intimidation and threats of the generals. Several barbarian warriors were a few steps slower, and they were slashed to the ground by the swarming Jiannan soldiers, trampled to death.

Li Sheng waited for most of the hundreds of Nanzhao troops to flee before he began to follow and pursue. It is certainly happy to chase the dead and chase the north, but if you get involved in the rout too early, you may be overwhelmed by the chaotic army, and even encounter the counterattack of the enemy army who have recovered from your senses. Li Sheng is proficient in formations, so naturally he will not make such a superficial mistake.

When the pursuit reached the Dadu water crossing, the wind and rain were already weak, and there was not much left of the Nanzhao army. There are dotted sheepskin rafts and small wooden boats on the ferry port, and dozens of people are standing near the boats. More than ten soldiers of the Jiannan Army stationed at the ferry have already been slaughtered by the Nanzhao Army.

When they saw the defeated Nanzhao army, the people guarding the ferry hurriedly dragged the rafts and wooden boats into the water, and it seemed that they should be the boatmen who operated the boats for the Nanzhao army. Among the boatmen, a man with unkempt hair and cracked skin stood stunned in place, squinting

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) stared at the cavalry pouring out behind the Nanzhao army, and his chest rose and fell.

"Those who kneel and disarm will not be killed! Those who kneel and disarm will not be killed! "Among the Jiannan cavalry who followed the Zhenyuan Light Cavalry, there were Tongnan Zhaoyu, and they shouted loudly. Li Sheng led his subordinates to gallop on the shore, but anyone who refused to surrender was stunned with the back of his sword.

When Li Sheng rushed to the boatman who was standing and not kneeling, he was about to swing his knife, but he heard the other party shout in fluent Tang dialect: "General, I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Han Chinese?" Li Sheng retracted the horizontal knife.

"This general, a certain Liu Xiao, is a person from Gyeonggi, who was ...... by the Nanzhao barbarians" Before the Han boatman's words were finished, Li Sheng was moved by the word "barbarian", and suddenly exclaimed: "Poisonous needle!" He finally understood why Fang had a strange feeling when he fought against the barbarian warriors, because the three True Source cavalrymen who were shot by the poisonous needle were the same as the death of the Great Marshal Wang Zhonghe!

"Nanba, you take him back to the camp, to be polite, it is estimated that he is the Jiannan soldier who was captured by Nanzhao before." After Li Sheng's confession, he no longer took this Liu Xiao to heart, he stood on the stirrup and scanned the entire ferry, but did not find any barbarian warriors with blowwheels among the Nanzhao prisoners of war.

"Damn, you won't kill them all when you pursue, will you?" Li Sheng was a little remorseful, and he hurriedly drove his horse back to the camp, counting the prisoners of war and the corpses of the enemy along the way, but only found a few broken blowguns and the corpses of several barbarian warriors that were discarded on the ground.

"Hateful!" Li Sheng turned over and dismounted at the south gate of the camp, and searched for several blowguns, but there were no poisonous needles in the barrels.

"Corpses!" Li Sheng hurriedly searched for the corpses of the three True Source cavalrymen, but found that the corpses had been carried away by the baggage soldiers, and the poisonous needles on their bodies had fallen during transportation, and there was nowhere to be found.

"Is the clue going to be broken again?" Li Sheng returned to the south gate of the camp and slapped the gate with his fist. At his feet was the corpse of a barbarian warrior, and judging by the bells and whistles he was wearing, he was supposed to be a leader.

"Why are they all dead! I didn't kill them all just now! Li Sheng couldn't laugh or cry a little, he glanced at the corpse of the barbarian leader, and said to himself: "This arrow is shot so accurately, it must be Nanba's handiwork." ”

"Brother, are you praising me?" The grinning Nan Jiyun dragged Liu Xiao back to the camp.

"Wait a minute!" Li Sheng glanced at the barbarian leader carefully, and felt that his death was a little strange, so he pulled out his knife and pried open the corpse's mouth for a long time, and finally saw a slender poisonous needle.

After pinching out the poisonous needle with a linen, Li Sheng stared at the dark needle tip for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I don't know where they came from......

"This general, do you want to know about the Nanzhao warrior with a blowgun?" Liu Xiao replied: "Actually, I know a little about their origins. ”

The wind and clouds in all directions are combined, and the source is born at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

The border towns are like ripples, but Chang'an City in the center of the whirlpool seems to be calm and waveless. In front of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, as always, it was solemn and solemn, but the friendly and easy-going guards of the left prison gate, Cao Shenjun, and Zhang Dejia were calm and introverted; The officials of Jingzhao Mansion still shouted five and six times, but Jingzhao Yin was no longer surnamed Wang, and the domineering Wang Zhun also disappeared; Pingkangfang is still the best in the world, but the carriages and horses in front of Li Xiangmen are gradually thinning, but after King Sheng returned to Beijing, Li's mansion seems to be lively again; Wei Boyu, who had recovered from his injuries, was still bored to guard Li Linfu's safety, but there were a few more clusters of anger in the depths of his eyes; In the house of the grandson of Anyi Fang, the coquettish cheers of practicing swordsmanship were endless, but the master's favorite disciple in the past never came to the door again; The West Market, which gathers the world's treasures, is as bustling as ever, but Suyeju and Wenxitang have both increased their manpower......

On the second day of the first month of June, Su Ye was in the center, and the restless shopkeeper Jian Ruoxi leaned on the railing, gently shaking the folding fan, and looked sad. She touched the light and beautiful bamboo bones of the folding fan with her hand, thinking that the green bamboo in Yizhou, which was thousands of miles away, was sent to Chang'an City, but the husband who conquered Jiannan still had no news, and she became more and more melancholy.

Jian Ruoxi knew that Fei Langjun and the others had done their best to help her find her husband's whereabouts. Every caravan to Yizhou was told by Fei Langjun to do his best to investigate, and the king soldiers and horses also asked people to search in the Jiannan army, and the county lord of Suye used her feelings in the Yang family, and it was troublesome to find it on behalf of Hehong Nongge. But half a year has passed, and her lover has not returned, how can she not be worried?

Now she has learned that the Jiannan army suffered a great defeat on the banks of the Xi'er River last summer, and the loss of soldiers and horses is not counted. Although everyone didn't mention it, Jian Ruoxi understood that everyone thought that her husband had died in battle under Taihe City, and there were no bones. But Jian Ruoxi never gave up, she felt that as long as her husband's body was not found, then he should be waiting for her somewhere in the world.

Jian Ruoxi had the heart to euphemistically ask Fei Langjun to think of a way again, but in the past few days, for some reason, Fei Langjun and Yiyue Little Lady have not come to Xishi, causing her to have no chance for a long time.

"The gentleman is in service, I don't know the period, how can I do it?" Jian Ruoxi chanted the ancient style and burst into tears......

Jian Ruoxi focused on Su Yeju's business, and didn't know what kind of suffering Wang Fei was enduring. Although he successfully kept Gao Xianzhi and maintained the balance of all parties in the court in the Wang Weld rebellion case, Li Linfu's reversal of the blow still knocked Wang Fei's joy to the bottom.

Wang Fei reflected on the process of discussing with Gao Lishi, Li Mi, and Li Linfu at this time to restore the general phase, and was shocked to find that Gao Lishi had already hinted at the omission, but he did not break it; Li Mizheng had a cold attitude because he saw that the general might be used by the enemy; The extremely cunning Li Linfu had already seen the opportunity to attack the crown prince and Yang Guozhong from his own words, so he only said that he was willing to resume his appearance, but did not mention An Lushan.

"Get carried away and kill people! I thought that with my insight beyond the times, I could change the government as I wanted, but I forgot that compared with the wisdom of Gao Lishi, Li Linfu, Li Mi and others, I am still far behind! As soon as Lu Qi reminded him, Wang Fei immediately realized that he had made a big mistake. But before he could come up with a remedy, Li Linfu's recital was sent to Li Longji's desk.

Wang Fei originally planned to restore the system of entering the prime minister and urging An Lushan to enter

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Dynasty, Ming Sheng and Secretly surrender, cut their military power, and eliminate future wars. However, Li Linfu took advantage of his strength to recommend An Lushan as the king of Dongping County, and rewarded him for helping Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and instead used the prime minister to trap Wang Zhengjian, which not only hit the power of the East Palace in the border town, but also disrupted Yang Guozhong's way of worshipping the prime minister. The result from Wang Fei's expectation can be described as a far cry.

"What should I do?" Wang Fei's heart was like fire, but he couldn't come up with a countermeasure. The clever Aitengana wants to understand why Xiao Langjun misjudged the situation, but she doesn't know how to deal with such a complex and esoteric court battle; Wang Yong regretted it even more, and was angry that he couldn't stop Xiao Langjun from trading with Li Linfu; Although the unruly Lu Qi pointed out the hidden dangers in time, he was helpless about how to crack Li Linfu's counterattack; As for the Ashina sisters and Su Sanniang, they were in a hurry but couldn't do anything.

When everyone's mood was gloomy, a secret letter flew from Tingzhou, with only a short line of words on it: "Don't worry about my son!" I hope to act in the future and then act, and don't underestimate the people of the world. ”

When Wang Fei was at a loss to know how his father would break the game, the Tang Dynasty was in a state of thunder. First of all, the sage issued an edict to reward An Lushan for his conquest of the Khitan, and enshrined him as the king of Dongping County, and will dedicate the Taimiao in late June, highlighting the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. Then the Anxi army's victory over Tubo entered Beijing, and the prince entered the palace to congratulate him, praising Li Xianglao for seeking the country, and asking for the transfer of the four towns of Anxi to make Gao Xianzhi enter Beijing as the prime minister. Li Linfu, who had been prepared for a long time, strongly recommended Wang Zheng, who was both civil and military, to see the prime minister. The crown prince and Li touted each other's henchmen, which became a rare sight in the court.

Yang Guozhong jumped out and Ai Ai opposed the resumption of the phase, but he was unanimously opposed by Li Linfu and Li Heng, and he couldn't intervene at all. Li Longji was also a little dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's sluggishness, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more.

The Chang'an court focused on the battle between the East Palace and Li Xiang, and speculated about who would be crowned king and who would worship the prime minister between Wang Zhengjian and Gao Xianzhi, so that the battle report of the Hezhong Army and the Turk Shi Department crossing the Wuhu Water to punish the black-clothed food was thrown in the corner and ignored, and the first confrontation between the vanguard battalion of the Jiannan Army and the Nanzhao Army was even less concerned.

Li Heng's riposte to Li Linfu made Wang Fei a little puzzled: "Beggar-thy-neighbor, is this my father's way to break the game?" ”

Wang Fei was full of questions, and Li Longji was also undecided about who to worship the prime minister. A few days later, Gao Lishi suddenly received a secret performance from Wang Zhengjian. In the recital, Wang Zheng saw the sprinkled and talked about the past and the present, and was extremely sure of the system of entering and exiting the generals, and he admonished that the sage did not need to distinguish between the king and the worship of the prime minister, and the king could also be the prime minister, and the person who was the prime minister could also be crowned the king if he had military merits. For the sake of the stability of the world, the sage can take turns to transfer the border towns from all over the country to the court for one or two years. At the end of the recital, Wang Zhengjian also recommended himself, saying that the sage was not afraid that he was shallow in learning, and he was willing to be an official for entering the court and setting an example for the world's festivals.

After reading the recital, the sage pondered for a long time and then suddenly raised his head and asked, "General Gao, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of an old slave, the king protects his heart without distractions, and is dedicated to relieving the worries of the saint, so he can be called a pure minister." Colliers is careful and cautious.

"What about the general and the phase?" Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, although the world is peaceful now, the border towns are overwhelmed, which is worrying. Although it was found out that Gao Xianzhi was not involved, it is really difficult to predict whether there will be a side general in the future. Since the crown prince and Li Xiang are both in favor of restoring the old system, it is better to follow the words of the royal capital protector and take turns to transfer the border generals to Beijing as officials, which is also conducive to paying homage to His Majesty and listening to the teachings from time to time. Gao Lishi saw that he had been observing for a long time, and knew that Li Longji had already moved, so he took advantage of the situation and nudged it.

Li Longji nodded imperceptibly, and said with emotion: "The Taiyuan Wang family has been loyal and good for generations, and I owe it a lot. ”

Gao Lishi guessed that the saint remembered that he was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and felt guilty, so he hurriedly lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to say more. After Li Linfu resumed his appearance and pointed the finger at Wang Zhengjian, Gao Lishi guessed that the East Palace would definitely not sit idly by, and he also expected that the prince would make a fuss about Gao Xianzhi. But he never expected that Wang Zhengjian would use himself as a bait and burn all the jade and stone, and pull all the border generals into the water.

"Wang Zhengjian, all your selfishness is used on Fei Langjun." Gao Lishi vaguely guessed Wang Zhengjian's intentions: "Father and son are loyal to the country, and they will do their best to help!" ”

The secret fold soon spread throughout the Chang'an court and the border town of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Heng changed color when he heard it, and his face was bruised but he couldn't attack; Li Linfu pondered for a long time after hearing this, glad that he was cautious enough, and waited until King Sheng left Youzhou before resuming his appearance; Yang Guozhong was upset when he saw that there were so many opponents on the way to worship the prime minister, but he thought that Wang Zhengjian took the lead in proposing that he could also be crowned king, and he did his best to express his heart, and he was more concerned about the war in Jiannan; Old. Xilie hid in the house to drink and have fun, and became more and more distracted from the government.

Gao Xianzhi laughed loudly after learning of Wang Zhengjian's response, and urgently ordered Feng Changqing to agree with Wang Zhengjian, and also proposed to voluntarily join the court as an official; An Lushan was complacent because of the title of king, and suddenly found that he might also be dragged into the capital as a minister, and he was terrified in his heart, and cursed Wang Zhengjian and Gao Xianzhi thousands of times; Ge Shuhan couldn't figure out the path of Wang Zhengjian and Gao Xianzhi for a while, but he thought that there were many fewer opponents for the king, so he indulged in lust on Longju Island and drank a few more glasses, so that his legs felt slightly paralyzed, but he didn't take it to heart; Ashina Yang, who was far away in the river, didn't care about the turmoil in the DPRK and China, and devoted himself to training soldiers and horses to clean up the river.

On June 15, the Great Dynasty of Wangri, in Beijing, hundreds of civil and military officials worshiped the Son of Heaven in the Xuanzheng Palace. The sage officially issued an edict announcing that the town of the world would enter Beijing together during the winter solstice court meeting to discuss the matter of worshipping the prime minister.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Wang Fei, who was standing behind the full hall of Zhu Zi, wept silently. The system of going out and going into the prime minister has finally been restored, and it is not impossible for An Lushan to enter the court, and the bloody soldiers may be able to be eliminated before they sprout. He thought that he could easily manipulate the ancients with more than a thousand years of insight beyond the times, but he was played by the cunning Li Linfu. And in the end, it was his father who saved the situation for him.

"Father, it's my luck to be your son!" Wang Fei looked at the northwest and was grateful.
