Xue Rengao also sent Gaojaw people to pretend to want to return to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a riot to recapture Gaojaw; and wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty with the city; However, Xue Rengao attacked very urgently and asked for help. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Shuliang sent Liu Gan to lead his subordinates to Gaojaw. Liu felt that the city was under Gaoqi, and the people in Gaoqi City said: "The thieves have heard that the reinforcements have arrived, and they have left, but the city gate has been blocked, and they can't open it in a hurry; You can climb the city walls and enter the city. ”

Liu Gan ordered to climb the city gate, and the people in the city poured water down, Liu Gan knew that the people in the city were surrendering, so he hurriedly asked the infantry to return to the division first, and led the elite soldiers to walk last.

At this time, three beacon fires were lit in the city, and Xue Rengao's army poured down in large numbers from the southern plains, and fought with Liu Gan's army in Baili Xichuan, the Tang army was defeated, and Liu Gan was not Xue Rengao's opponent; It only took a few rounds to be captured by Xue Rengao.

Xue Rengao once again led the army to encircle Jingzhou, and ordered Liu Gan to shout to the city to persuade him to surrender: "The reinforcements have been defeated, it is better to surrender as soon as possible." ”

Liu Gan pretended to agree, but when he got to the city, he shouted loudly: "The thieves are starving without food, and they will soon perish, the king of Qin led hundreds of thousands of troops to come from all sides, don't worry about the people in the city, try to defend the city!" ”

Xue Rengao was very annoyed, caught Liu Gan, buried Liu Gan alive to his knees next to the city, and let his soldiers run on horseback and shoot Liu Gan with arrows.

Until he died, Liu Gan's voice became higher and higher, and his attitude became more and more angry. Li Shuliang held on to Jingzhou, he could only protect himself, and he was powerless to rescue, so he could only watch Liu Gan being tortured and killed.

Li Shuliang sent people back to Chang'an for help, while sticking to Jingzhou and swearing to the sky, he caught Xue Rengao and must use his head to pay tribute to Liu Gan.

Xue Rengao's actions completely angered Li Yuan, and he also gave up the illusion that Jieli could preside over justice, and made Li Shimin the commander, leading an army of 50,000 to pacify the western region.

Li Shimin received the order and hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses and set off; On the way, he ordered Longzhou Assassin Shi Changda to attack Xue Rengao in Yiluchuan and rescue Jingzhou. Xue Rengao might as well be attacked by Changda for a while and beheaded more than 1,000 people.

Xue Rengao was furious and gave up Jingzhou, and instead attacked Changda repeatedly. Chang Da held on to the camp and did not come out, and Xue Rengao failed to win. So Xue Rengao came up with an idea and sent his general Tong Shizheng to lead hundreds of people to surrender.

Changda is overjoyed; There is no doubt that he treats the servants very well. As a result, Qi Shizheng waited for an opportunity to take his subordinates to kidnap Chang Da, and then took 2,000 people in the city to surrender to Xue Rengao.

When Chang Da saw Xue Rengao, his words and expressions did not yield, Xue Rengao admired Chang Da's courage and courage, and did not kill him, but imprisoned him; Then Jingzhou was besieged again.

Liang Shidu heard that Xue Rengao sent troops to attack Jingzhou, and excitedly led the army to attack Yanzhou; Duan Decao held the city to the death, so he had no way at all.

Li Liang knows a little about books and is quite wise; and likes to help others, and is praised by the villagers; However, he lacks a sense of the overall situation and does not have the talent to govern the country. After gaining his will, he lost his due vigilance, and was unable to judge the situation, distinguish between right and wrong, correctly handle internal and external relations, and kill loyalty and goodness in vain; The country is in turmoil, and it simply does not have the ability to send troops to attack others.

Li Shimin had already sent An Xiugui to the Great Liang Kingdom secretly; An Xiugui's younger brother An Xiuren is in charge of the Daliang Center, and he is also the head of the household department; One person is below and ten thousand are above. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the Great Liang Kingdom, he was appointed to the post of general of the left and right guards; and obey him.

An Xiugui took the opportunity to join forces with An Xiuren and killed Li Liang's masterminds Liang Shuo and Cao Zhen with a discordant strategy. As a result, the old man gradually became suspicious and fearful, and was not used by Li Liang, and his subordinates were even more resentful, and they all wanted to rebel.

Li Liang ignored the opposition of An Xiugui's brothers and prepared to send troops to attack Li Tang, and An Xiugui's brothers knew that Li Liang could not persuade him, so he held a grudge; It happened that Xi Daoyi led the Qiang soldiers to defect to Li Rail, and Li Rail promised to appoint him as the assassin but failed to fulfill it, and Xi Daoyi was also very resentful; Therefore, they hit it off and discussed attacking Li Rail together.

As soon as Li Liang led an army of 10,000 out of Hexi, he was besieged by Xi Daoyi and Tuyuhun led by An Xiugui's brothers. Li Liang was defenseless at all, was killed and defeated, and returned to Hexi overnight with more than 1,000 people; Hu Benlang will thank the commander, and Li Yun will be killed.

An Xiugui and An Xiuren led the soldiers to besiege Hexi, and Li Liang reacted at this time, climbed the city tower and pointed at the two and scolded: "Betrayer! You will not die well! I was waiting in Hexi City; Look at the arrival of the Jieli army and wipe you out! ”

An Xiugui's face darkened, and he urged him to step forward and said: "The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty sent me to fetch Li Liang, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin has brought 100,000 troops to quell the rebellion; Now surrender is not guilty of the past, such as the sin of disobedience and the three tribes. ”

When the soldiers of the cities heard this, they looked at each other, and they did not dare to attack. Li Liang sighed and said: "The people's hearts have been lost, and the heavens will kill me!" "Brought the crown prince Li Boyu, as well as his wife and children to the Jade Girl Stage, and bid farewell to his homeland with wine.

When the soldiers in the city saw that His Majesty had given up, they dispersed in a hurry; An Xiuren entered Hexi without spending a single soldier; After capturing Li Liang, he was sent to the camp of King Qin.

Li Shimin ordered someone to send Li Liang to the end of the Beijing Division; He led the army to Gaoqian City to meet Xue Rengao.

Xue Rengao led his army out of the city to challenge in front of Li Shimin's military camp; Li Shimin stuck to the camp and refused to fight. The generals under his command listened to Xue Rengao's rampant scolding, and they all stepped forward to ask for battle, wanting to teach this arrogant junior a lesson.

Li Shimin said: "Our army has just lost the battle, its morale is depressed, and the other side is proud of its victory, and has the intention of despising us, so we should close the camp door and wait patiently." They pride ourselves on our courage and can defeat them in one battle. So he ordered the whole army to be beheaded, and the two sides fell into a long standoff.

Before the vigorous army of demons set off, one of them died in the middle of the road; The bitter and vengeful Tuli and Gao Kaidao are eager for revenge; I heard that Li Jing of Liaodong fell ill and returned to Shandong to recuperate; It was replaced by a person named Ma Wenju who came to garrison.

Who is Ma Wenju? It is said that a few years ago he was still a small soldier; It's just that he made a meritorious contribution during the attack on Anshi City; Promoted to castle warden. What is there to fear of such an unknown little person? The Great Demon Kingdom is being attacked from all directions, and there is really no one!

Thinking of this, the two led 50,000 elite cavalry, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, a total of 100,000 people, hurriedly killed Liaodong.

After receiving the news of Tuli's dispatch of troops, Dou Jiande and Li Mi also stepped up the pace of sending troops; But either there are frequent accidents in the barracks, or the allies are procrastinating and always unable to set off smoothly.

Hearing that the army of Tuli and Gao Kaidao had arrived, Ma Wenju laughed and said to the generals: "This time, the four-way army is coming to attack our Great Demon Kingdom; I didn't expect the first merit to be caught by us. Since Tuli is bent on death; We'll make him perfect! ”

So Ma Wenju left 10,000 horses for Luo Song to garrison Liaodong, and he led Han Shige, Shi Danai, Luo Lian, Pei Xingyan, Ashina Yan and others and 40,000 troops; another 10,000 people were recruited from the Buyeo Kingdom and the Taya tribe; A total of 50,000 troops marched to meet the Turi.

It was August weather when they sent out their troops, and as soon as they entered the prairie, they encountered rain and rain; When they met the army of Tuli, they were exhausted from the days of marching.

Shi Danai and others saw that the enemy was strong, and they were tired from afar; Therefore it is advisable to set up camp and guard against the attack; Waiting for tomorrow's recovery of forces lies in the decisive battle of the enemy.

Ma Wenju led everyone to watch the camp gate; found that the enemy had set up a joint camp for dozens of miles, and confronted him from afar.

"Tuli and Gaokaidao, the military camps are scattered; Each does not belong to the other; I've got a way to break the enemy. There won't be many people this time; 100 rides are enough! Who will help me defeat the enemy? ”

The crowd looked at each other; Pei Xingyan urged him to immediately hug his fists and said: "Just Tuli dares to violate my border; The last general was willing to go with the general to meet Tuli for a while. ”

If Cheng Zhijie knew that Pei Xingyan was so polite, he would probably stare out his eyes. Since he came back from the dead, Pei Xingyan's arrogance seems to have been wiped out all at once; Although he is still apathetic and unwilling to associate with people; But I can listen to other people's advice.

As soon as Ashina Yan heard Pei Xingyan's request, she also stood up and said, "I'm going too!" "Although Shi Danai and Han Shimo don't know what Ma Wenju's move means? But he still stood up.

Ma Wenju smiled and said, "Please ask General Pei for help; The rest of the people just watch it! A small tuli doesn't have to give him too much face. ”

Han Shimo said: "General Ma, be careful, we will give you a view of the enemy formation in the back." ”

Ma Wenju laughed, and led Pei Xingyan and Ashina Yan to fight Ma Rufei and came to the front of the two armies.

Tuli drank a glass of old Du Kang wine in one gulp and cursed, "This damn weather! It had been raining for so many days that my bones were rusty. This Han wine is really a good thing, but unfortunately it is too expensive! This pot is good for several sheep. His grandma's! ”

Before his complaint was over, he came back and reported: "Report! , to the second khan! The army of the Great Demon Kingdom is challenging on the opposite side. ”

"What? Challenge? In this kind of weather, it is cheap if I don't go to trouble them; How dare they come to challenge? Walk! Let's go and see what the hell these Han people are doing? By the way, don't forget to call the Han people on the other side. As he spoke, he reorganized his army and went out to face the enemy.

Tuli and Gao Kaidao came to the outside of the camp, and when they saw that there were only about a hundred people on the opposite side, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Ma Wenju saw the enemy coming out, and the horse came to the enemy's formation, Pei Xingyan and Ashina Yan were worried about the loss, so they rushed over.

Tuli didn't know what they meant? With a wave of his hand, he stopped his men from firing their bows and arrows, and wanted to hear what they had to say. Marven shouted: "Gao Kaidao is here!" Please come out and answer! ”

Gao Kaidao was stunned for a moment, and urged him to step forward and said: "A certain family is Gao Kaidao, what do you have to say?" ”

Marven looked him up and down, flipped him over, and shouted: "Are you the Gao Kaidao who has forgotten his ancestors?" Gao Kaidao was so angry that his face turned blue and said angrily: "Little doll, An Gai deceived me!" Don't you think my knife is not good? ”
