Chapter 10 Shame and Thief Acquaintance and Not Living with Kou (1)
(Today's first update, 4000+)
Li Shaobin attacked Langzhou, and 4,000 Xichuan soldiers helped a lot. Previously, Meng Zhixiang assisted Li Shaobin with Hou Hongshi and Meng Sigong, and the main force of 30,000 soldiers attacked Suizhou, and Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Zhiye, etc., who led the troops, were either generals under Meng Zhixiang, or the humerus that Meng Zhixiang relied on, and its attack on Suizhou was not small. When the army was not launched, Meng Zhixiang said: Suizhou is strong and Langzhou is weak, attack the strong with the strong, and attack the weak with the weak. True, it is.
The distance from Chengdu to Suizhou is about the same as the distance from Zizhou to Langzhou, so when Li Shaobin and Li Renju started a war and Li Shaocheng stormed Yongding Pass, Li Renhan, who set out from Chengdu and led the main force of the Xichuan Army, also arrived in Suizhou. Before Li Renhan arrived in Suizhou, Zhang Zhiye, the assassin of Jianzhou, led the vanguard to arrive first, and the day after Li Renhan arrived in Suizhou, the rear army of Zhao Tingyin, the assassin of Hanzhou, also arrived.
Unlike Li Renju who took the initiative to fight, the Suizhou Wuxin Army did not lead the army out of the city to meet the battle, on the contrary, he lay high in the city, deep ditches and high bases, and had a strict posture of guarding to the death.
On the day of Bailu, the camp of the Xichuan army was completed, surrounded the city of Suizhou, and began to make preparations before the battle, the chief general of the 30,000 soldiers, Li Renhan, brought Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Ye and others, and more than 100 guards, came to the front of the city, and watched the defense of the city.
At the moment, it is not called autumn high and refreshing, but it is not very hot, the sun is on the head, sometimes hidden behind the stratus clouds, the earth is bright and cloudy, the Wuxin army armor on the head of the city, the armor reflects a bright light from time to time, it can be seen that their faces are serious and murderous.
Li Renhan and the others circled around the city, and then returned to the position where they had left the camp at the beginning, pulled the reins, and stared at the city, Li Renhan muttered: "Suizhou City is well guarded, but it is not bad as expected. However, it was a little surprising to see that my 30,000-strong army had arrived, but the city was as stable as Mount Tai, and the soldiers were not half nervous and panicked. ”
Just now, when everyone went out of the camp to watch the city, the Xichuan army sent 1,000 elite horse soldiers, dressed neatly, showing off their might in front of the city, showing the thickness of their armor, the sharpness of the blade, and the might of the military formation, and arranged another person to shout to the city, the content is nothing more than to expand their own advantages and the disadvantages of the other party, and persuade the Wuxin army to give up resistance as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no clouds left on the day the city is broken, to hit the morale of the Wuxin army. However, Wu Xinjun was unmoved.
"Charucci is also a fierce general, when our military arrived, he took advantage of my unstable foothold, and sent hundreds of elite people under his command out of the city to attack and harass, and the battle style was quite fierce." It was Zhang Zhiye, the assassin of Jianzhou who came first, who said this, and he suffered a small loss in that battle, although the loss was not much, only a hundred people, but it undoubtedly increased the morale of the Wuxin Army.
"In the past, when I came, the marshal had told that Xia Ruqi was a general, and he was well versed in the essence of it, and he was quite popular with the soldiers and the people, and he must not underestimate the enemy. Li Renhan sighed slightly, "What the marshal said is indeed a good word. ”
Zhao Tingyin and Zhang Zhiye shook their heads solemnly when they heard this, after all, seeing is believing, and they all agreed with these words.
Charucci may not be able to be called a famous general, but he can call it a fierce general and a virtuous minister, but the other party can definitely afford it.
This person was born in Qingzhou, and when he was young, he was the former Liang Xuanwu Military Academy, but because of discord with the main general, he switched to Li Cunqiao. At that time, brave generals, such as Shan Tingqi, Yuan Xingqin (Li Shaorong), Wang Menguan, Wu De'er, etc., Xia Luqi fought against him and did not taste defeat.
The battle of his fame took place in the battle of Xin County between Li Cunmiao and Liang general Liu Yan, at that time, Li Cunmiao's lone army went deep and was ambushed by the Liang army, and his own side was less than 1,000 horsemen, and the other party had more than 10,000 people, "besieging Zhuangzong several times". In this battle, he fought bravely with the enemy generals, "holding guns and swords, defending Zhuang Zong alone, and killing more than 100 people", shocking the whole army. Afterwards, Charuqi was "bruised all over his body", and "Zhuang Zong was especially pitiful." ”
Charucci is not only effective in battle, but also "loyal and righteous, especially through the way of officials, and skilled in soothing the people". At the beginning of Tiancheng, Li Siyuan ordered Xia Luqi to move from Mengzhou to Xutian, and the people of Mengzhou stopped Xia Luqi from letting him go, and asked him to stay. In the end, it was Li Siyuan who sent the officials of the court and the central government to go with the edict, so that Xia Luqi could make the trip.
At this age, the imperial court set up a town in Shuzhong, as a bridgehead for the imperial court to contain the two rivers, and the responsibility of the festival was heavy, so Li Siyuan ordered Xia Luqi's general. Although among the officials appointed by the imperial court this time, Li Renju and Wu Qianyu are all straw bales and are not very useful, Xia Luqi is definitely the right person.
In addition, in the original history, Xia Luqi also had a great achievement, that is, in the later stage of the Liang and Jin Dynasty hegemony, Wang Yanzhang was captured alive - but because Li Congjing was born, Xia Ruqi had no chance to do it in this life - later, Xia Luqi died, "The emperor (Li Siyuan) heard of his death, and wept as a gift to the Taishi and the Duke of Qi", and he stopped one day.
After Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, and Zhang Zhiye finished observing the city, they returned to the Shuai Tent, and they inevitably made a detailed plan and analyzed the weak points of the city's defense, so as to serve as the key area for the army's attack. On the same day, everyone planned for a long time, and then, Li Renhan passed down the general's order: The army will rest today, and the siege will start tomorrow, and there will be no rest!
The Xichuan army is observing Suizhou, and at the head of Suizhou City, Xia Luqi is also observing the Xichuan army.
has not yet reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and now Xia Luqi is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, when there is a great future, he is dressed in strict order, and brings the generals and staff to the city tower, pointing out the Xichuan army outside the city, and analyzing the situation of the enemy and us.
30,000 Xichuan army besieged the city, is still surrounded by three que, except for the intention to let go of the "Shengmen" soldiers and horses, the other three city walls, the soldiers are all up and down 10,000 people, at a glance there is no boundary, like the ocean, the white tents in the camp are hundreds, like the waves in the sea, the reef, it is extraordinarily magnificent.
Suizhou under the management of Xia Luqi, can be called a strong city, but not very large, for the defender of the city, the other side is outnumbered, the pressure in the heart can be imagined, the stronger the other side, the more weak they are. It seems that the island that will be flooded by the waves at any time is always in danger, and the people standing on the isolated island cannot help but feel uneasy and frightened.
Xia Luqi's face was calm, commenting on the camp method of the Xichuan army, "Li Renhan is famous, and the people of the time only know his bravery, but they never thought that this person also has the talent to lead the army. ”
There was a general next to him, named Kang Wentong, who was the person Xia Luqi relied on, and he said: "The last general heard that Li Renhan was also a military academy in the Xuanwu Army in the past, I don't know if the marshal knew him at that time?" ”
"It's true, and Ben Shuai had a good relationship with him at that time." Xia Luqi admitted that he knew Li Renhan, and continued: "During the Tongguang period, Li Jiqi was ordered to return to the court, and left Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Zhiye and others to lead the army to sit in Xichuan, waiting for Meng Zhixiang to enter the town, and then Kang Yanxiao rebelled, and the reason why Meng Zhixiang was able to quickly defeat it was that Li Renhan and other generals and the elite soldiers left by the imperial court. At that time, Li Renhan bravely won the three armies and became famous. ”
Kang Wentong nodded, "I see." ”
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Xia Ruqi's face immediately changed, he sneered, and changed his words, "But now, Liangchuan rebelled, the former king and teacher, has become a thief, at this moment, Li Renhan and others do not want to serve the court, but help the abuse, willing to be Meng Zhixiang's eagle dog, is to bring about their own destruction, this handsome is ashamed to know him!" ”
After that, Xia Luqi drew his knife and spread his robe, cut off a piece of it, and handed it to the guards beside him, "Send an envoy out of the city, send it to Li Renhan, and tell him that now I am the king's teacher, he is a traitor, I am loyal, he inherits evil thoughts, and they are like fire and water, and they can never coexist!" Today, I, Xia Ruqi, cut off his robe and cut off his righteousness, and since then I don't know that there is Li Renhan, only that there is a traitor who will die! ”
This move is deeply voicing the unyielding idea of war, and is excited, and everyone who hears it is moved, and they all deeply feel its righteousness, and salute one after another, "The handsome man is loyal and courageous, and he is ashamed to know the national thief, and now we will fight to the death, and I will not live with the national thief!" ”
The guard held a piece of cloth robe, seeing this scene, he suddenly felt glorious, and couldn't help but boil with a fighting spirit, and immediately led the order to go down to the city, brought the horses, but did not call a helper, rode alone, drove out of the city gate, and faced the boundless Xichuan army camp, and went away.
Li Renhan was discussing with Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Zhiye and others, and when he heard that a messenger from Suizhou City was coming, he was a little surprised, waved his hand and gave an order, calling the man to come in.
Zhao Tingyin touched his chin, "At this time, Xia Luqi sent an envoy to come, but why?" ”
"It's nothing more than both, war or peace." Zhang Zhiye didn't care, "If you want to fight, you will hand over tactics, and if you seek peace, you will hand over the book." ”
After all, Li Renhan knew Xia Ruqi and knew a little about his people, and after thinking about it, he thought that it would be so simple, so he asked the person who came to report again, "Who is coming?" Is it a military general, a civilian official, or both? ”
The man said: "There is only one person who comes, and judging by the outfit, it should be an ordinary soldier." ”
"What? This" Zhao Tingyin was amazed.
Zhang Zhiye was immediately furious and shouted: "One person dares to enter my military camp?!" Straight lady thief, Charucci is too rampant, too indifferent to us! ”
After he finished scolding, Xia Ruqi's guards immediately entered the account, Zhang Zhiye was angry, and saw that the other party was not only young, but also indeed not a general's armor, and suddenly became even more angry, without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately took the case, "Xia Ruqi looks down on people too much!" How unreasonable is it to use a small pawn to talk to us! Come on, drag Ben out and cut it down! ”
The guard's face did not change, he ignored Zhang Zhiye's words, raised his eyebrows and looked cold, stood proudly on the spot, and turned a blind eye to the soldiers who poured into the tent.
"That's it!" Li Renhan waved his hand to stop the angry Zhang Zhiye, who was very generous, "Even if you come to make it, it represents Xia Ruqi, a little identity, don't care, this will have an old relationship with Xia Ruqi, such a trivial matter is nothing." ”
When the guard heard this, he didn't hurry to salute.
Xia Ruqi smiled and said, "Brother Xia sent you here, why did you do it?" ”
The guard took out the cloth robe, stretched it out to his chest, and said in a flat tone, "The commander knows that the general is coming, so he is under the order, and he will cut off the cloth robe with this." ”
Charucci frowned, puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”
The guard raised his head, looked at the enemy general in front of him, abruptly increased his tone, and said in a loud voice: "Dashuai Yan, now I am the king's teacher, you are a traitor, I am loyal, you inherit evil thoughts, and you know you, which really stains my reputation." Today, there is no more to do with cutting your robe and breaking off righteousness! Since then, I don't know that there is Li Renhan in the world, only that there are traitorous thieves. Treasonous thief, I will destroy it! ”
After the words were spoken, the aftermath lingered for a long time.
Xia Luqi was shocked and annoyed, Zhao Tingyin was stunned, Zhang Zhiye jumped like thunder, drew his knife and stood up, "You little thief, you don't know whether you live or die, grandpa will take your dog's life first!" ”
"Stop!" Charucci stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, stared at the guard, and said in a half-loud voice: "You entered the camp alone, so you are not afraid of swords and axes?" When you speak wildly, you are not afraid of being in a different place? Do you really think that if you are here, the general will not kill you?! ”
Before Zhang Zhiye slashed at the guard, Zhao Tingyin stopped him, facing the horizontal knife in front of him, the guard just closed his eyes, but he didn't retreat half a step, hearing Li Renhan's words, he broke open his eyes, and said fearlessly: "If the general wants to kill him, it's easy." But in this little life, since he hit the city, he didn't think it was his own! There are thousands of Wuxin troops in Suizhou, less in the next many, more in the next many, but in the next death here, will leave a good name, for thousands of people to admire, why not! ”
The corners of Li Renhan's mouth twitched for a while, and he didn't say a word.
Zhao Tingyin advised: "General"
With a wave of his hand, Li Renhan suppressed the evil anger in his heart and the disgust that Xia Ruqi gave him, and said to the guard: "The kid has a good idea, how can this general be as you wish?" Go back and tell Charucci that when the city is broken in the future, he will definitely eat his flesh and drink his blood! Well, you're good to go! ”
The guards clasped their fists in salute, said "farewell", turned and strode away.
Zhang Zhiye was not angry, "The vertical son is rampant, really let it come and go freely?!" A little pawn, there is no one in his eyes, Lao Zhang, I can't swallow this breath! ”
Zhao Tingyin sighed and said: "If you kill him today, although it will be quick for a while, it will definitely arouse the righteous indignation of the whole army of Wuxin Army, and attack the city in the coming day, adding difficulty. ”
Having said that, it can still be seen from Zhao Tingyin's face that he is also as disgusting as eating a fly, and in order to divert his attention, he said to Li Renhan: "When the battle is about to be made, Xia Luqi's act of cutting off his robe and breaking his righteousness will inevitably boost morale, and his wisdom and courage are both complete and not to be underestimated. ”
Li Renhan gritted his teeth, "When the city is broken, there is a time when he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy!" ”
The guards rode out of the city alone, entered the enemy's army, reprimanded the enemy's main general, and now returned safely, the Wuxin army at the head of the city of Suizhou saw it, and all raised their arms and shouted, applauding his courage and style.
Charucci couldn't help but sigh: "What is the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties? That's it! If everyone is like this, why worry about my Tang Dynasty not being prosperous! "Go down to the city in person to welcome the return of the strong man.
In the Wuxin Army, the guards were just a small team, and in order to show his courage and boost the morale of the whole army, Charuqi was promoted immediately when he met, and let him be the head of the capital. Since then, Konoe has become famous.
This guard, named Shi Yanchao, is a graduate of the fifth phase of the Martial Arts Academy.
