On the night of the snowstorm, Li Mi launched a sneak attack on the Tiger Prison Pass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, this was an extremely secret sneak attack, but because of a small accident, the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.
In terms of talent, Xin Wenli does not have Xu Shiji's keen talent for war.
However, more than 20 years in the army and more than ten years of eunuch life have made Xin Wenli more calm and cautious than Xu Shiji. After Xin Shixiong's death, the Xin clan had declined. Different from the five surnames and seven families, the Xin family has been handed down in martial arts, and it is far from being as deep as the history of the world.
In the world, one family was destroyed, and there were other clansmen to help.
But what about a family like Xin Wenli that is inherited by military merits? When Xin Shixiong died in battle, Xin Wenli did not rise to the top for six years. Even if he has good military achievements, he will not get almost anything. No one is moving for you on it, and Xin Wenli is even more cautious, and he must think twice about everything. After all, the Xin family is the most prominent in his official position. If something goes wrong with him again, then the Xin family has no hope.
After taking over the Tiger Prison, Xin Wenli quickly arranged more than a dozen eyes and ears in the short journey from Yuanwu to the Tiger Prison.
It happened that Li Yanqing built wooden houses in Xingyang to collect the displaced people.
So Xin Wenli did the same, mixing his stronghold, eyes and ears with those homeless wooden houses, and no one knew about it except himself.
Li Mi attacked around the original martial arts, and Xin Wenli's ears and eyes immediately noticed it.
So a small group of Sui troops tried to attack Li Mi to buy time for his companions to report the news. This would have been a spontaneous act, and to be honest, it was stupid. However, he did not expect that the vanguard army that led the sneak attack on Tiger Prison Pass immediately expanded the scope of revenge and quickly covered all the displaced people.
There were not a thousand but eight hundred of the displaced people along the way.
Suffering from the disaster of the city gate, he immediately rose up to resist. In this way, the war also expanded, and Xin Wenli got the news and prepared an hour in advance. Xin Wenli immediately lit a beacon fire and lit wolf smoke. It's just that on this snowstorm night, the beacon fire was quickly extinguished, and the wolf smoke could not transmit the message. But even this was enough to force Li Mi to change his plans.
With the failure of the sneak attack, Li Mi became angry and ashamed.
Immediately ordered the forward army led by Xu Yuanlang to launch a fierce attack on the tiger prison.
At the same time, Li Mi quickly occupied Yuanwu County, took Yuanwu as the important place of the rear army, and ordered Wang Dangren and Wang Bodang brothers to guard Yuanwu, and then he personally led an army of 120,000 soldiers to the Tiger Pass. Among the accompanying generals, there are Shan Xiongxin, the general of the left Wuhou, and Wang Deren, the general of the right Wuhou. And Li Gongyi, Zhang Gongjin, Sun Changle, Niu Jinda and other general Wagang, arrived outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
Li Mi set up a tent for the commander of the Chinese army on the ruins of Jindiguan to remotely control the battle ahead.
originally thought that Xu Shiji was gone, Li Yanqing was not there, and this tiger prison should be able to be conquered in one fell swoop.
But Xin Wenli refused to attack, no matter how you attacked, he saw the move and demolished the morale of the Wagang army. After the autumn repairs, the Tiger Prison Pass is taller and thicker than before. There are two battalions of soldiers and horses in Guanneiten, and Xin Shijie and Cui Wanli join forces. In addition, there are 1,000 people in the Yingyang Mansion of Xin Wenli's headquarters, so that 5,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, which is enough to deal with the rebels.
By noon the next day, Luo Shixin led his troops to arrive at Tiger Prison Pass.
Xin Wenli was pleasantly surprised, and personally led Xin Shijie and Cui Wanli to greet him.
"General Luo, why are you here?"
"Last night, Li Langjun found some abnormalities and was worried that there would be problems in the tiger prison, so he ordered the general to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to support the general."
"Then where is Li Langjun now?"
Li Langjun ...... Didn't come. ”
What kind of character is Xin Wenli? Even if you are not an old man, your ability to observe words and emotions is not bad. He could see that Luo Shixin seemed to be insincere, and immediately did not ask about Li Yanqing's whereabouts. After greeting Luo Shixin for a while, he ordered reinforcements to camp on the spot, and then led Luo Shixin to a small tent.
"General Luo, is there an accident?"
Luo Shixin looked at Xin Shijie and Cui Wanli in his palm, Xin Wenli waved his hand at the two of them, and the two immediately walked out of the small tent and guarded at the door.
Taking out a letter from his bosom, Luo Shixin handed it to Xin Wenli.
Li Langjun said that after reading the letter, the general had no opinion on what decision he made.
However, Li Langjun asked the general to believe that he had no intention of fighting for anything. What he did was only to protect the people of Xingyang from the scourge of war. ”
Xin Wenli couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and after taking the letter, he refused to open it for a long time.
Li Yanqing seems to be going to make a big move!
It may jeopardize his future, but he still has to do it.
For Li Yanqing, Xin Wenli is both grateful and admired. If Xingyang County did not have Li Yanqing's support, it might have been devastated long ago. And now, Xingyang is one of the few happy places in this world. People still do business, they still farm, as if nothing had happened.
Why?
It's because Li Yanqing is still struggling to support!
Xin Wenli's military talent may not be as good as Xu Shiji's, but his political acumen and vision are extremely vicious.
What will it turn out to be in this situation? He doesn't know! However, he could see that from the moment Li Yuan raised troops and entered Guanzhong, there was no hope for the Sui room. Li Yanqing struggled to support, what did he get? For what?
Xin Wenli could vaguely perceive that there seemed to be a huge energy behind Yan Qing.
From his childhood to becoming famous for singing goose bodies, to later worshipping in Perak Hall, and then to Goguryeo, fighting against Yang Xuangan, until now he is known as the Henan ambassador of Zhengsanpin. Behind Yan Qing, there seems to be a mysterious figure who supports Yan Qing to this day and still stick to Xingyang.
Whatever he was for, though...... At least he was in Xingyang and kept the happy life of the people of Xingyang.
Over the years, Li Yanqing has lived countless lives!
How many displaced people have been reborn in Xingyang County? It's literally in the hundredth thousand.
Based on this alone, Xin Wenli convinced Li Yanqing. You see, there is so much land, but there is no shortage of people. There is less land and more people, so the profession of sedan chair driver appeared...... This is just one of the many contributions Yan Qing has made to the people of Xingyang, but it can be seen that no matter what his purpose is, he has made this land more prosperous and prosperous.
Sometimes, Xin Wenli is thinking, what will it be like if Li Yanqing sits on one side and takes charge of Xingyang?
Come to think of it, it can't be worse than now!
Xin Wenli took out the letter, read it quickly at a glance, and read it quickly.
"General Luo, what the letter said is really true?"
"The last general doesn't know what the letter says, but after Li Langjun met the people from Xingyang on the road, he led 3,000 people and left halfway."
Xin Wenli suddenly laughed!
"I'm just an eagle, and what I care about is the safety of the tiger prison.
This involves government affairs, which is beyond my ability. So no matter what Li Langjun does, it has nothing to do with me...... My mission is to keep the tiger prison. ”
"The order that the last general will get is also to assist Xin Langjun, and it is by no means half a step forward for Li Zhi."
"That's good, let's go to the city."
As he spoke, Xin Wenli lit the letter in his hand on the butter candle in the tent and turned it into a cloud of ashes. Then he walked out of the army and went to the castle tower with Luo Shixin to observe the enemy's situation. Xin Shijie and Cui Wanli glanced at each other, but neither spoke, following Xin Wenli.
The snow has stopped and the sun has come out!
But the temperature seems to be even lower, colder.
Xin Wenli subconsciously wrapped the wolf skin on his body and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
It's just his thoughts, but he can't help it...... Fly to Xingyang County.
******
Zhou Chen...... I decided to dedicate Xingyang. ”
At lunchtime, Yang Qing left Liu Zhouchen in the room, and when he was eating, he seemed to be casual and said what was in his heart.
"Huh?"
Although Liu Zhouchen had already prepared, he knew better that Yang Qing would definitely discuss with him.
But the moment he heard Yang Qing say it with his own ears, he couldn't help but show surprise.
"Sacrifice Xingyang?"
"Zhou Chen, do you think the Sui room can still hold on now?"
Yang Qing did not answer, but asked again. However, before Liu Zhouchen could speak, he gave the answer himself: "I am fortunate to be in Jiangdu today, and it has been more than a year in the blink of an eye." Originally, I thought that the imperial brother was just going to relax, but he didn't go back, leaving a huge country behind, and Yu Jiang was drunk and dreamed of death. I haven't been to Jiangdu, and I don't know what's good there. But I know that Guanzhong is the foundation, and the Central Plains is the lifeblood. If one of the two is gone, this country will inevitably be in chaos. But the royal brother ...... To this day, there is no intention of turning back. ”
What's the use of coming back now?
Li Yuan had already won Guanzhong and firmly besieged Xijing Chang'an.
Guan Zhong Shixuan clearly stated his position, even if Yang Guang came back now, he would not be able to return to the sky. This trend is gone, and it can be reversed by non-human beings. If Li Yuan hadn't sent troops to capture Guanzhong, if Yang Guang had even announced that he would have moved back before Li Yuan attacked Guanzhong, the situation might not have been as turbulent as it is today. At that time, it was impossible to say that the Sui Room was still saved......
Now, it's too late to say anything!
Yang Qing has even abandoned the title of 'lonely' and changed the name to 'me'.
This shows that he has made up his mind.
Liu Zhouchen raised his head and asked, "Why did the king suddenly surrender?" ”
Well, even if you want to surrender, it's so good, why did you suddenly make a decision. You must know that at this time yesterday, Yang Qing was still talking about the current situation with great interest, and after a night of hard work, he made up his mind.
Liu Zhouchen was very curious, what did Zheng Xiaoqing say to Yang Qing that made Yang Qing change his mind?
Yang Qing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Liang Jun...... It's down! ”
"Huh?"
Another piece of news that surprised Liu Zhouchen.
Yang Qing raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Yang Wang has already surrendered to Li Yi...... Li Mi, just now, is still a secret.
Yang Wang sent me a letter urging me to surrender. He said that Li Mi was destined to return, and the situation was irretrievable. After the loss of Liang County, Li Mi controlled most of Shandong and cut us off from Jianghuai. Nowadays, the eastern capital does not seem to be very stable, and the prince's nephew is too young to control the situation. I thought about it, instead of carrying it like this, it was better to descend early and leave a way back for myself. Anyway, Li Mi will break through Xingyang County sooner or later...... Although Li Yanqing can fight, can he bear the mandate of heaven and the general trend? ”
Liu Zhouchen was speechless, just quietly took a sip of wine.
"But Zhou Chen, don't worry, I have already told Li Mi that after he occupies Xingyang, he will not wreak havoc.
What he wants is Luokoucang, what he wants is Gongxian, and what he wants is Li Yanqing's head. At that time, I will still be the county guard of Xingyang, and you will become my long history. ”
In the past, due to his identity, Yang Qing could not give Liu Zhouchen a proper arrangement.
And now, if he demotes Li Mi, he will be able to appoint Liu Zhouchen justifiably.
Liu Zhouchen's heart couldn't help but feel warm, and at the same time, his nose was a little sour.
Yang Qing still remembers me and still cares about our friendship...... He even had an impulse to tell Yang Qing that he had betrayed him.
But when the words came to his mouth, Liu Zhouchen pressed it again.
At this time, the slightest impulsiveness and half of emotion will lead to a situation from which you will never recover. Similarly, Yang Qing will also be in danger.
"Lord, is it really decided?"
At this time, Liu Zhouchen had already changed his name for Yang Qing.
Yang Qing smiled, "It's decided...... Hehe, in fact, it's not that difficult to make up your mind. I have already agreed with them, regardless of whether the tiger prison is broken or not, I will sacrifice Xingyang County in the future. When the time comes, Xin Wenli will have no intention of fighting, so let Li Mi continue to fight with them. ”
They are undoubtedly talking about Li Yanqing and other members of the Gongxian group.
It can be seen that Yang Qing seems to have lost his patience with Li Yanqing. In the past, he needed to rely on Yanqing to guard Xingyang, but now he ...... He doesn't need it anymore.
If you have any grievances, you can express them.
Yang Qing himself couldn't say why he was so disgusted with Li Yanqing. You must know that at the beginning, he had a good impression of Yanqing.
Maybe...... It was from the day Zhang Xutuo was killed that Yang Qing felt the threat that Li Yanqing brought to him.
All good beginnings are hard to keep to a perfect end.
Yang Qing's desire to control, as well as his surname Xi, are destined to part ways with Li Yanqing......
Liu Zhouchen left the county guard's mansion, and his mood was still a little complicated. Yang Qing's care for him and his trust in him made him feel very painful.
He didn't take a sedan chair, and in fact he didn't dare to ride in a sedan chair again.
Who knows where that little sedan chair will take him? At this moment, Liu Zhouchen just wants to be quiet and think about his future plans. Yang Qing has done his best to be benevolent to him, so he will repay him. No matter what, he has to keep Yang Qing's surname and Yang Qing's glory and wealth. At that time, no matter whether Yang Qing can forgive him or not, for Liu Zhouchen, he can feel at ease.
Along the way, many people continued to clean.
The gravel-paved street is particularly lively.
The shops are open as usual, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians. Even if the battle in Tiger Prison Pass has reached the ears of the people of Xingyang, the people of Xingyang seem to be indifferent. Because they have already received the news, Li Langjun has personally led the army and arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass. No matter how strong the rebels are, they are not Lee's invincible opponents!
"Master, Shaolangjun is back!"
When he returned home, as soon as Liu Zhouchen entered the door, his family members came forward to report.
"Come back, come back...... You said Shaolangjun is back? ”
Didn't I already ask Liu Heng to go to Li Yanqing? Why did this kid run back again?
Liu Zhouchen's color changed suddenly, but it made his family feel a little strange. Shaolangjun goes home, it seems normal...... Why is this the case?
"Shaolang-kun came back by himself?"
"Ah, that's not it, Shao Langjun accompanied the two Zheng Langjun and talked in the living room."
Zheng Langjun?
Liu Zhouchen couldn't help but shudder. He calmed down and nodded for the family to stand down. As if intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced outside the door of the mansion. He was so preoccupied just now that he didn't pay attention. And now, he saw a clue......
Around the house, there are many small vendors.
There are more than a dozen blue-roofed sedan chairs, scattered around.
Although these people don't seem to pay attention to the house. But Liu Zhouchen knew in his heart that the target of these people who suddenly appeared was in his home.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhouchen gently rubbed his face.
Sure enough, he is the son of Li Xiaoji, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the Great Wild Tiger. Knowing that this Xingyang City is now hiding a murderous opportunity, you actually threw yourself into the net?
However, he has the courage to be a good man!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhouchen tidied up his clothes and walked towards the living room......
