On August 19 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, it was beneficial to travel.

Xu Jingye gathered an army outside Yangzhou, personally led more than 100,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River, attacked Runzhou, and left Tang Zhiqi as the capital of Jiangdu and stayed in his hometown in Yangzhou.

"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Watching the mighty army gradually move away, a sigh full of loneliness and helplessness came out of the city of Yangzhou.

"Why is Brother Wei sighing, now our army is in full swing, with the addition of the Metropolitan Governor Men Huzi, this time he will go south to Runzhou, and he will definitely be captured, but how do you think about it, Brother Wei seems to be a little unhappy? Could it be that Brother Wei felt annoyed that he didn't stay in the Jiangdu. Looking at Wei Siwen, who sighed, Zuo Chang Shi Qiuren, who had a good relationship with him, couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Du Qiuren's ridicule, Wei Siwen shook his head and said, "Brother Du has been dating for so long, when have you seen a certain person who was worried because of his official position." ”

"Oh, this is strange, since Brother Wei is not because of his official position, or because of something, he is worried that most of them will not be able to be governors." Du Qiuren asked curiously.

Originally, it was just a subconscious sentence, but I didn't expect that Wei Siwen nodded and replied, "What Brother Du said is good, it is precisely for the Governor and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to worry about, now that the Wu clan is in power, excluding dissidents, the court officials and people of insight in the world have long been dissatisfied with her, and the Metropolitan Governor raised the banner of rebellion at this time, so easily to get the support of the people of the world, it stands to reason that the most important thing for the Metropolitan Governor now is to lead the army to the north and smash the eastern capital Luoyang, so that it will affect more people. Let the people of the world support us even more, but now, for his own selfishness, the Metropolitan Governor insists on going south, regardless of the discussion in the world, isn't it self-destruction of the Great Wall, I am afraid that those who originally supported us are now disappointed in us. ”

Hearing Wei Siwen's words, Du Qiuren was speechless, speaking of which, Du Qiuren was originally a relatively easy-going person, in other words, he didn't have much assertiveness, and his ears were soft, as long as what you said made some sense, he thought that he could do it, and the reason why he was demoted was because he thought that he was carrying the black pot for this reason.

He has also heard about the dispute between Wei Siwen and Xue Zhongzhang for a long time, Wei Siwen insists on taking advantage of the present to send troops north, but Xue Zhongzhang asks to find a foothold in the south now, and then go north after having a certain foundation.

Compared with Wei Siwen's suggestion, Xue Zhongzhang's suggestion was more supported by Xu Jingye and everyone, and it was like this, and the final result of the discussion was that Xu Jingye followed Xue Zhongzhang's suggestion, led the army across the Yangtze River, attacked Runzhou, and smashed Jinling City.

Although he has been friends with Wei Siwen for many years, Du Qiuren still supports Xue Zhongzhang's suggestion in his heart, after all, for Chinese people, the idea of 'outside must first be inside' has been deeply rooted.

Although he supported Xue Zhongzhang in his heart, Du Qiuren didn't want Wei Siwen to resent Xu Jingye because of this, after all, they were now grasshoppers on a rope, and if they were contradicting each other at this time, they would be self-defeating.

Thinking of this, Du Qiuren wanted to enlighten Wei Siwen, and said, "Brother Wei, it is useless to talk about it now, anyway, with the current prestige of the Metropolitan Governor, it is easy to go south to Runzhou and seize Jinling City, and it will not take much time, let's still think about what to do after the Metropolitan Governor takes Runzhou!" ”

It's a pity that Du Qiuren's kindness was not understood by Wei Siwen, Wei Siwen still frowned and said, "Brother Du, if it's just because of going south or north, it's inconvenient to say more, but there is one more thing that makes someone sleepless and worried!" ”

"Oh, there's one more thing, what is it that worries you so much." Du Qiuren said curiously.

"Since ancient times, although the way of using troops is like flowing water, can not be confined to the situation and formation, but all changes do not deviate from its roots, the root of this march and war does exist, in the face of a strong enemy, the weak side must concentrate its strength, find a way to use various advantages to consume the enemy's strength, just like now, I heard that Wu Meiniang transferred 300,000 elite guards to the south to deal with us, although we now also have more than 200,000 soldiers, but after all, most of these more than 200,000 are untrained farmers, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a rabble, Now want to rely on more than 200,000 farmers, resist 300,000 elite army, it is an extremely difficult thing, but the governor of the capital is divided into troops, isn't this a weak enemy strong, every time I think of this, this heart is full of grief, but unfortunately, the governor can't listen to the admonition of a certain one, and still insists on going his own way, so that a certain is helpless! ”

Wei Siwen said.

"It's ........ This, Brother Wei, this is really such an exaggeration as you said, although the imperial court sent 300,000 troops, but I heard that it was Li Xiaoyi who led the troops all day, although this person is also regarded as the queen of the gate, or the Li Tang royal family, but I heard that he is as timid as a mouse, let alone marching and fighting, I am afraid that it is one thing whether he dares to come or not, but the metropolitan governor is different, the metropolitan governor is behind the general, and he also fought the Turks in the border army with the generals back then, and it is impossible to fail because of the small number of troops! ”

Wei Siwen's words startled Du Qiuren, and he comforted himself after a while.

"Hey, hey, hopefully!" Wei Siwen said with a frowning face.

.............................

After Xu Jingye led the army to the expedition, he took more than 100,000 troops to successfully cross the Yangtze River, which is regarded as a natural danger, although he knew that Xu Jingye rebelled, and the local government also strengthened the care along the river, but in the face of more than 100,000 troops, the county government soldiers of more than 1,000 people, what role can it get, Xu Jingye only sent 3,000 people, and defeated the Tang army by the river in one afternoon, and the Tang army of more than 1,000 people fled in addition to hundreds of people, and was killed by Xu Jingye's army of more than 200 people.

Such a good start, but also to Xu Jingye army morale brought a great boost, since then, all the way south, Xu Jingye's army in the land of Runzhou can be described as walking on the ground, God block to kill God, Buddha to block and kill Buddha, no matter the big city or the small city, there is no way to stop them for more than two days.

At the end of August, less than half a month before Xu Jingye went south to Runzhou, Runzhou and all the big and small cities, except for Runzhou City, all fell.

"Li Yuanjun, I heard that this Xu Jingye is your nephew, why don't you shout to him and ask him to disarm and surrender, it won't save us from being so tired." Standing at the head of Runzhou City, looking at the countless heads of people outside the city, Duan Jian felt dizzy in front of him.

It is said that there are more than 10,000 people, boundless, Duan Jian is not a person who has never seen a big scene, he was a person who has experienced several major battles in Lingnan Jianzhou, and later Yangzhou City, and it can be said that he has escaped from Lord Yan once, but this kind of scene where more than 100,000 people gathered, he is really the first time he has seen it.

At the time of Jianzhou, he was a powerful party, Ma Cao and others were hiding in Jianzhou City, so the people he saw were thousands of people under his command, and the battle of Yangzhou was even more speechless, from beginning to end, he just looked at the battlefield, or took advantage of the dark, and then a series of actions were formulated by him lying on the hospital bed, and he didn't see the real fighting scene, and this time, he finally saw the magnificent scene of the real ancient battlefield.

As for why he appeared here, it is easy to explain, after receiving the order to assist Li Xiaoyi in quelling Xu Jingye's rebellion, he discussed with Wen Yurong, Zhou Xing and others how to act, and after some discussion, in the end they thought that if Xu Jingye really gave up going north and decided to go south, Runzhou, which was only separated from Yangzhou by a river, was his first target.

Not only because Runzhou is the closest to Yangzhou, but also because Runzhou is a rich place, not only connected to Changzhou, but also very close to Jinling.

And if you want to stop Xu Jingye from achieving this goal, there is only one way, and that is to help Runzhou resist Xu Jingye's attack, of course, with Runzhou's own ability, it will definitely not work, and with Duan Jian's support, there is a lot of hope.

With this goal and idea, Duan Jian recruited more than 10,000 soldiers in Suzhou, and rushed to Runzhou as quickly as possible, in order not to be discovered by Xu Jingye, their party was extremely mysterious, and even entered the city in several batches, and now, Xu Jingye's army is finally here, and Duan Jian and all their arrangements can finally be used.

Listening to Duan Jian's words, Li Siwen, the assassin of Runzhou, shook his head a little helplessly, if someone else said this, he would definitely be furious, even if he didn't draw his sword to face each other, he would be cold, but for Duan Jian, he couldn't be angry at all.

Whether it is from Duan Jian's temperament or Duan Jian's kindness to rescue thousands of miles, it is impossible for him to turn his face with Duan Jian because of his words, besides, what Duan Jian said is also the truth.

Runzhou Assassin History, Li Siwen, is indeed Xu Jingye's uncle, but, it is precisely because of the existence of this identity that Li Siwen is extremely embarrassed, Li Siwen is extremely loyal to the imperial court, in his opinion, no matter how the imperial court changes, I just have to do my own thing, those big things, there are big people to deal with, they just need to manage themselves and handle their own responsibilities, so, after the news of Xu Jingye's rebellion came, he was the first to report to the court, and it is precisely because of this, It was only then that Xu Jingye's rebellion became known from the secrets.

"This evil animal, really damage the reputation of my Xu family, if the British public knew that he was so unfilial, I am afraid that he would have been executed with his own hands, and now the province has caused such a huge disaster for my Xu family, I heard that the imperial court has ordered the deposition of the title of the old duke, and also split all the coffins of the fathers and ancestors of the evil animal, so that the bones are exposed to the scorching sun, it is really miserable, after this battle, my Xu family is afraid that the family is not far from being destroyed." When he said this, Li Siwen gritted his teeth, which shows how much hatred he felt for Xu Jingye's rebellion.

"Hey, why should Li Jingye be like this, human life has its own destiny, Xu Jingye is Xu Jingye, Li Yuanjun is Li Zhijun, I believe that the imperial court will not be loyal and treacherous, as long as we can keep Xu Jingye's army out, don't blame it, I'm afraid the court will reward Li Zhijun?" Duan Jian said.

"Hey, even if it's a reward, I don't dare to ask for extravagance, I just ask the court not to affect my Xu family because of this evil animal, thank God." Li Siwen sighed.

"Governor Dadu, I heard that this Runzhou assassin is your uncle, why don't you write a letter of persuasion and let him take the initiative to open the door and surrender, so that we can save a lot of effort, and we can transfer to Jinling as soon as possible to stabilize the foundation."

Compared with the panic of the people in the city, Xu Jingye's army outside the city was extremely lively, and many of the future in the big tent were also drinking wine and talking about things.

"Hum ....."

Hearing Luo Bingwang's words, Xu Jingye drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, wiped a handful of wine-stained beard with his hand and said, "I don't know about sightseeing, that Li Siwen has an old-fashioned temperament, extremely pedantic, although he is an uncle of a certain person, he has been extremely disdainful of a certain since he was a child, thinking that a certain character is out of the ordinary, not a good person, and even when Ah Zu was ready to let a certain inherit the title, he also did everything possible to obstruct it, if it was a different person, a certain person still has the idea of persuasion, for him, you are all dead this heart, today and happy one night, tomorrow morning, The army is besieging the city. ”

With Xu Jingye's words, everyone no longer had the idea of persuading them to surrender, besides, for them, this Runzhou City is no different from other county seats, although the city wall is higher, how can it withstand the attack of more than 100,000 of them, as for the thousands of soldiers in the city, they are even less regarded by them.

With this thought, the crowd soon immersed themselves in the atmosphere of pleasure, especially after a round of singing and dancing, the servant came to them very obediently and began to serve them, and the atmosphere of the dinner reached its peak.

Xu Jingye and others enjoyed themselves, and they did not forget the ordinary soldiers, although the things of more than 100,000 people were not easy to find, but Xu Jingye still sent people to search for all the meat, chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep in the nearby villages of more than ten miles..... And so on, as long as it was meat, all of them were collected, so that more than 100,000 people could enjoy a good meal.

On this night, everyone in Xu Jingye's army didn't expect that someone would come to attack them, not that they didn't expect it, but they didn't think that anyone would do it, but sometimes things are so coincidental, and often the things that they think can't be done are often the most successful.

Just when all the soldiers in Xu Jingye's camp were carnivaling, not far from them, a group of people were quietly ambushing here, watching their camp silently, like a group of wolves staring at their prey, with a terrifying glint in their eyes.
