The lord of the village did not think that it was the Yangzhou army that entered Wangjiazhai, thinking that it was the Jinling defenders, and hurriedly shouted: "Several generals, I am the lord of Wangjiazhai, today I besieged and killed nearly 10,000 rebels in Yangzhou, and now the family of Sima Liu Yansi, one of the leaders of the rebel army, is ......in it."

The owner of the village also wanted to say something to invite merit and reward, but unfortunately it was a giant tree smashed by his pocket that answered him, and he was smashed into a meatloaf by a log before he finished speaking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the villagers saw this scene, they either fled or abandoned their weapons and begged for their lives.

Tang Ao heard that there were Liu Yansi's family members in the earthen fort where the fire was burning, and saw that there were still figures shaking on the earthen fort.

Immediately, he shook the log in his hand and smashed a large gap in the fortress gate that the villagers had not broken through several times.

"Lord Liu Yansi has already joined the Yangzhou Army to serve, if you are Lord Liu's family, please escape from the earth fort as soon as possible, and Lord Liu will arrive later."

With Tang Ao's shouting, Liu Jun and the others hurriedly ran out of the bunker, and the general was suspicious: "Is what this little general said true?" ”

Tang Ao nodded and said, "Lord Liu Yansi is behind, and you can know the truth and falsehood immediately." ”

He saw that there were many people who claimed to be members of the Liu family, which was in stark contrast to the dead bodies of fugitives everywhere he saw when he entered Wangjiazhai.

While rejoicing for the Liu family, I also feel sorry for the nearly 10,000 people who were killed by the master of Dazhai and died at the risk.

The 500 Yangzhou army defeated Wangjiazhai, annihilated more than 800 people before and after, captured more than 1,000 people, captured nearly 1,000 horses, and more than 3,000 sets of armor and weapons.

In addition, there are nearly 50,000 taels of gold and silver, which greatly replenishes the soldiers and logistics of the Yangzhou army.

Tang Ao sent a scout to monitor the direction of Jinling City, and the Yangzhou army, civil and military, gathered together to urgently discuss the next plan.

Wei Siwen pointed to the map and said: "There is a ferry fifteen miles outside Wangjiazhai, and you can take advantage of the dry period of the river to demolish Wangjiazhai to build a simple raft and transfer it into Huainan Road." ”

Xue Ne added: "After knowing the truth about the slaughter of their relatives, the young men who were forcibly pulled by Wangjiazhai all expressed their willingness to join the Yangzhou army, and our army can barely gather 8,000 men and horses, and if you add the Zhaiding of Wangjiazhai, there can be 10,000 people." ”

Xu Jingye shook his head and retorted: "All the Zhaiding of Wangjiazhai are killed, Zhaiding is good at stealing and playing tricks and has a deep hatred with thousands of young people, and there is no benefit in integrating into the Yangzhou army, but it is better to let the young people follow the Yangzhou army north to Huainan in anger." ”

Tang Ao agreed with Xu Jingye's decision, and echoed: "When Yangzhou raised troops, it was forced to borrow the strength of the prisoners in the heavy mines, and the next few major battles showed that those prisoners were all rabble, but these young and strong people were innocent and had no bad habits, and if they were properly trained, they would definitely become the elite of the Yangzhou army." ”

In addition, Cheng Wuting and others put forward their own ideas, and Xu Jingye agreed one by one, and the whole army must cross the river before dawn.

The heavy responsibility after the break was handed over to Tang Ao, and the Yangzhou army thought that no one was more suitable than Tang Ao.

Tang Ao stood on the high ground of Wangjiazhai and said to Wang Bo and Luo Bin, who took the initiative to stay and transport the grain and straw: "It has been said throughout the ages that Jinling has the air of an emperor, do the two virtuous brothers think this is true? ”

Wang Bo smiled slightly: "Taizong of this dynasty once said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, what is water?" The sages have Yunmin as the precious, the society as the second, and the monarch as the light, what is the explanation? ”

Wang Bo did not immediately answer Tang Ao's question, but instead threw out two more questions.

King Luo Bin pondered slightly: "Taizong of this dynasty is a rare Ming monarch comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the king is a whisper out of the Yasheng Mencius, and the son An Xiandi is still worried about the people's will in the end, but what is this people's heart?" Could it be that the more than 10,000 people who died in vain in Wangjiazhai fled the people? ”

Wang Bo nodded and said: "Brother Sightseeing's words are to the point, I heard that when the Wei army raised troops in Yangzhou, the Yangzhou army went straight to the king to win the hearts of the people of Shandong, of course, this people's heart is not the heart of ordinary people, but the heart of the landlords of the Shi clan. ”

Tang Ao was quite touched that Wang Bo and Luo Binwang's understanding of the people's will is one of the keys to victory or defeat.

Whether it was the failure of the previous advance or the indiscriminate killing of the people by Wangjiazhai through the Yangzhou army this time, it highlights a problem that cannot be ignored.

That is, the local Shu landlords are not optimistic about the prospects of the Yangzhou army, or they are resisting and opposing the gate lord clan headed by Xu Jingye.

Throughout history, whether it was the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people's peace of mind was a great trend, just like the unstoppable river under his feet.

He suddenly realized that if the Yangzhou army could not achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time, the longer the war dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation of the Yangzhou army would be.

To put it bluntly, whether it is ordinary people or landlords, they don't want to be troubled people, and they yearn for peace in the world!

When that time comes, even if he advances to the Divine Transformation Stage, what can he do? Tang Ao really felt the urgency of time.

Just as he was about to say something, a group of men and horses appeared in the direction of Jinling, judging from the number of torches, there were no less than 20,000 people.

After the soldiers and horses of Jinling left the city, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and the first road was obviously a naval army, and the speed down the river was very fast.

On the other hand, people shouted and went straight to Wangjiazhai, which shows that the fire in Wangjiazhai finally attracted the attention of the Jinling defenders.

King Luo Bin saw the Jinling soldiers and horses attacking, and sighed and said: "It seems that Lord Liu Yansi's letter has not played a role, Jinling Liu Thorn History is trying to kill his relatives in righteousness?" ”

Tang Ao lifted the Mo knife and laughed: "The two virtuous brothers should cross the river as soon as possible!" After the little brother broke off here, he couldn't say tonight that he wanted to experience the pleasure of the overlord of Western Chu and ten thousand enemies. ”

The 500 Yangzhou troops who followed Tang Ao after the break raised their arms and shouted: "Lord Tang is mighty, and Wansheng ......"

Candles were lit inside and outside the Jinling Thorn Shi Yamen, bright as if it was day, and there were hundreds of elite soldiers in addition to the three classes of Yamen.

These people stood still like statues, and if it weren't for someone's blinking, they wouldn't even be able to tell that they were alive.

Liu Shouye, the assassin of history, wore a Haoran scarf on his head, wore a scarlet official robe, tied a jade belt around his waist and tied a silverfish bag, and sat motionless with a straight face.

On the table in front of him was a letter sent by his younger brother Runzhou Sima Liu Yansi, which had now been opened and spread.

A person who made Liu Tingshi cautious and made Tang Ao guess look at the letter on the table with a smile.

It seems to be asking Liu Tingshi and asking himself: "Will Tang Ao be in the Yangzhou army?" The retreat that was driven from the direction of Runzhou before seems to have the realm of the Yuan Infant Period, I don't know if the Plum Blossom Fairy can capture it, if I face Tang Ao, how should I deal with myself? ”

"Lord Bian, the Jinling defenders have gone straight to the Wangjiazhai mentioned by Liu Yansi under the leadership of the two generals, can the official go back to the Houya to rest?"

Liu Shouye didn't want to stay longer for a moment, although the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a flower, but after seeing the magical method of freezing people in place and not moving, there was only fear left in his heart.

Bian Caiyun sighed, and flames popped out from his fingertips, turning Liu Yansi's letter into ashes.

"Liu Tingshi is relieved now, right? However, it is better for Liu Tingshi to wait for a while, without you, the Jinling Assassin Shi, this fairy will not be able to command those 20,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Bian Caiyun claimed to be a fairy, she couldn't help but feel a flutter, she didn't expect that she would be the reincarnation of an immortal, until Wu Zetian took out the Hundred Flowers pardon order, she didn't know that she was a brocade flower fairy in her previous life, and vaguely remembered a lot of things about her previous life.

Bian Caiyun will not forget that Tang Ao saved her and her sister Bian Suyun in the Three Immortals Mountain, but in the face of the reward promised by Wu Zetian, she has no choice.

At this moment, I only hope that Tang Ao is not in the Yangzhou army, then she doesn't have to be embarrassed, and the secret treasure given by Wu Zetian in her arms will not be used.

In her bones, she still didn't want to meet Tang Ao as an enemy soldier.

An hour later, the soldiers and horses of Jinling sent back the news that the Yangzhou army crossed the river and headed north, and the two generals advanced by land and water but were defeated by hundreds of men and horses after the Yangzhou army was broken, and the loss of nearly 3,000 soldiers was lost.

Captain Guo Yi, who came back to deliver the letter, asked Liu Jianshi if he would continue to cross the river to pursue the Yangzhou army.

Liu Shouye secretly thought that the generals in front were too ignorant, since the Yangzhou army had already crossed the river, even if it left Jinling, what else was it chasing? Aren't there many people who are afraid of loss?

He thought so, and then found that the female official surnamed Bian from Luoyang, the divine capital, also breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be very glad that the Yangzhou army could calmly cross the river and jump out of the encirclement of the Wu Zhou army.

I can't help but wonder what this female official means? Looking forward to the defeat of the Wu Zhou army?

Where did Liu Shouye know Bian Caiyun's difficulties, and the secret treasure in Bian Caiyun's arms never responded, indicating that there were no cultivators in the Yangzhou army, so there was no need to turn his face with Tang Ao now.

As for the future, it can only be said in the future, anyway, she has completed Wu Zetian's confession and can return to Luoyang to resume her life.

She didn't care about the life and death of the Yangzhou Army, let alone the idea of destroying the Yangzhou Army, the starting point was to remember Tang Ao's kindness.

Tang Ao didn't know that his prudence had allowed him to escape a catastrophe, and at this time he was standing in Huainan Province, with a full of soldiers who were still alive behind him.

More than 300 Yangzhou troops were mocking and ridiculing the Jinling soldiers and horses on the other side, and they did have a record of ridiculing each other.

With 500 soldiers and horses to defend the Wangjiazhai ferry, so that 20,000 Jinling soldiers and horses on land and water attacked for a long time without results and lost the soldiers, this proud record made the morale of the Yangzhou army who even suffered defeats high, even if it was Tang Ao Tang Shilang who made the first contribution.

Without waiting for Tang Ao to lead his troops to catch up with the Yangzhou army, which had already gone west, a light flew in the direction of Jinling and flew north.

Although Tang Ao couldn't see who was in the retreat, this scene confirmed his previous guess that there was indeed more than one cultivator in Jinling City.

When the light in the sky disappeared, a teleportation rune flashed around Tang Ao.

I saw Tang Zhiqi pulling another person to appear in embarrassment, both of them were stuck with arrows, and they were clearly teleported from the battlefield to escape.

Tang Ao was about to come to the rescue, when a muffled snort sounded behind him.

Seeing the teleportation appear in Yan Zixuan, who was covered in blood and pale, his heart couldn't help but flicker.

Regardless of the defense of men and women, Yan Zixuan was supported, and asked eagerly, "Why are you like this?" What about the Meng sisters? ”
