Chapter Twenty-Three: The Army Comes to Weiyang (Ask for Recommendation)
Lin Qing was reading a book and drinking tea, and Xiaohuan hurriedly ran into the backyard and told Lin Qing the news that the spies had inquired about - General Li Hu had just returned to the city, and at the request of the emperor, he had prepared the front to withdraw his troops to meet the enemy.
"Got it, you go ahead and keep an eye on it," he said.
Grandpa has already returned to Weiyang, and it seems that soon the Tang army will come to the city to see how Chen Xuanyuan responds.
I still have to find an opportunity to meet my grandfather and ask about some of the situation of the Tang Army, so that I can not be defeated in a hundred battles.
At this time, in Yu'an, the capital of the distant Tang Dynasty, the sky is not very good, the ground is a little damp, it obviously rained last night, from the morning to the present, the sun is hiding in the thick clouds, reluctant to come out, and in the majestic palace, in a quiet palace, a young man in a green shirt is standing in front of the palace to listen to what a soldier like a man said
"Master, the water has broken and is marching towards Weiyang, and Emperor Chen Xuanyuan of Dachen has also arrived in Weiyang, do you want to bring a message to General Meng Yi" said this soldier-like person
"No, let him make his own decisions," the young man's gentle voice reached the general's ears
"No, the subordinate is now retiring," the general immediately replied in a deep voice, and then slowly turned around and disappeared into the palace.
The young man in front of the hall turned his tall body, raised his head and looked at a palace in front of him, only to see the plaque in front of the hall - the word empty moon, these two words seem to have a history of thousands of years, and they are very vicissitudes.
The young man held his head high, and his face could be seen along the glimmer, only to see that he was very handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall figure, extraordinary instruments, and a green shirt showed that the whole person had a dusty temperament. He looked at the plaque in front of the hall, motionless, and when he walked in, he could see the corners of his mouth move slightly, and muttered - empty moon.
If Su Hao saw this young man in green shirts, he would definitely shout "Brother Tang", it turned out that the young man here was the "Brother Tang" who was playing with Su Hao in Taihang Mountain, but I don't know why he appeared in the palace and appeared in front of this "empty moon" palace.
The gray clouds revealed a glimmer of light, in the gloomy light, the young man slowly approached the temple in front of him, pushed open the mysterious temple door and slowly entered, leaving only a tall back, entering the temple door, the young man turned around, held the temple door with both hands, slowly closed, along the light, the face of the young man he saw was dark, so that people did not know his expression.
With a snap, the door of the temple had been closed again, there was not a single sound around, not even the light chirping of birds seemed insignificant, everything was pure silence, as if no one had ever been here.
Hengshui City, at this time, there is no trace of the past in Hengshui City, there are only dead corpses and bloodstains everywhere, the city wall is full of broken battle flags, thick smoke billowing everywhere A dead silence, only the Tang soldiers who walked by from time to time to clean up the dead corpses let people know that there is still life in this place. The soldiers on patrol walked in Hengshui City, cleaning up the dead corpses, while looking for any Chen soldiers who had slipped through the net.
Only a small number of soldiers were left in Yokosui Castle to clear the city, and most of the army had already set out to conquer the next city. In a wasteland that must pass through from Hengshui City to Weiyang City, at this time, thousands of people were experiencing the tart, splashing yellow smoke in the sky, and a general wearing a silver battle uniform walked at the forefront of the entire army, surrounded by several large and small generals. I saw that this general was dressed in silver, his silver helmet covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that made people tremble at a glance, riding on a tall horse, the tall and mighty gave people a sense of suppression that penetrated their hearts, and made people feel a sense of surrender.
This person is the general of the Tang Army, Meng Yi, who captured Hengshui City with lightning speed, and immediately repaired the army to leave a small part of Hengshui City to defend it, and most of the army immediately marched to Weiyang City, the next city of Dachen.
"Pilot, pilot..." Suddenly, two soldiers in heavy armor appeared in front of him, and Meng Yilama stopped temporarily
"Stop" Meng Yi raised his hand with one hand and ordered the army behind him to stop advancing, and the general behind him ordered to stop advancing.
I saw the soldiers running on horseback in front of him, and when he was about to reach Meng Yi, he immediately jumped off his horse, ran forward again, and knelt in front of Meng Yi's horse
"General, it has been found out that Emperor Da Chen arrived in Weiyang City yesterday, and now he has deployed troops to defend Weiyang City, and 100,000 reinforcements have also arrived in Weiyang City." Both soldiers knelt in front of their horses, and one of them said to Meng Yi
"Well, continue to inquire and see if Chen Jun has any other movements" Meng Yi's hoarse voice immediately came
"Yes," the two soldiers replied together, then mounted their horses and ran in the direction they wanted to come.
Meng Yi pulled the reins, turned his head and said to a general beside him
"Vice General Cheng, spread the news, we will capture Emperor Da Chen alive this time, go, continue to hurry" and then pulled the reins and galloped away.
"Go" the general behind shouted, and rode after him.
"Newspaper·· The Tang army is already ten miles away"
"Newspaper·· The Tang army is already five miles away"
"Newspaper·· The Tang army is already three miles away"
"Newspaper·· The Tang army is already two miles away"
Chen Xuanyuan and Li Hu stood on the Weiyang city wall, listening to the news from the soldiers in front, Chen Xuanyuan looked outside the city wall without saying a word.
In the distance, a large army appeared, and a large area of black oppressive people was marching here, kicking up a puff of yellow smoke that filled the air.
The voice spread along the air to Weiyang City - "Eliminate Da Chen, capture Emperor Da Chen alive, eliminate Da Chen, capture Emperor Da Chen alive..."
When Li Hu heard the sound coming, his body trembled a little, and he turned his head to Chen Xuanyuan and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Majesty"
Chen Xuan was far from answering questions, looking at Tang Jun who was slowly approaching, his eyes revealing coldness. Seeing that the emperor did not answer, Li Hu was a little sad, and turned his head to look at the approaching Tang Jun, feeling helpless.
"Niangniang, the Tang army has already arrived in the city" Yiyi hurriedly ran into the house and said to Lin Qing
"Huh? It's already there?" Lin Qing raised his head and looked at the anxious Yiyi and asked
"Yes, it's already a mile away from Weiyang City," Yiyi gasped and replied
"Still moving on?" Lin Qing asked with a slight look in his eyes
"No, it seems to be encamped," Yiyi said
"Also, they are still shouting: Destroy the Chen State and capture the Great Chen Emperor alive," Yiyi said with some excitement
"Well, Tang Jun called?"
"Yes, the whole army is shouting, and it is heard on the walls," Yiyi said
Lin Qing was also a little surprised, it seems that Tang Jun is really in full swing, I don't know what Chen Xuanyuan feels in his heart, it must be uncomfortable.
"You go down first, keep watching"
Looking at Yiyi, who hurriedly retreated, Lin Qing knew that the Tang army had already come down to the city, and a big battle was inevitable, so let's see what the strength of the Tang army was first, and don't mess up your plan.
It was getting dark, not far from Weiyang City, the Tang army was lighting the cooking smoke, obviously not planning to attack Weiyang tonight, and Da Chen also began to cook dinner.
The night is slowly deepening, and a great battle is coming.
