Chapter 38 If you want to do a big thing, you don't take refuge and plan carefully to succeed (7)

The next day, an anxious Li Shoujing paced back and forth on the city wall, eagerly waiting for Gao Xingcheng's military report.

The three thousand silver spears on the riverside, not to mention his absolute elite, account for more than half of the silver spear festival in terms of quantity alone. Gao Xingcheng is Li Shoujing's right-hand man, in such a situation, even if he knows that there will be no good results, how can Li Shoujing not be concerned?

In the end, Li Shoujing didn't wait for the silver spear to serve the army, let alone Gao Xingcheng, and even didn't see the silver spear army that came back from the rout.

What Li Shoujing saw was a hundred battle troops with flags fluttering, bright armor, and strict queues.

Not only cavalry, but also infantry.

The mighty swept towards Juancheng, and finally surrounded Juancheng.

After the deployment of the Hundred Battles Army, Li Shoujing saw the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Li Congjing, who was surrounded by all the soldiers under the banner of Shuai.

took off the Panlong Yiwen robe, Mingguang armor was added, and the long lance was in his hand, at this moment, Li Congjing was the famous general on the battlefield again.

Li Shoujing felt that the sunlight at this moment was extremely dazzling, which made him a little unable to see Li Congjing's appearance, and only saw a golden light wrapped in iron armor.

How could Li Shoujing not know at this time that Gao Xingcheng was finished, and the silver spear army in the riverside was all over.

The heads of Gao Xingcheng and other generals of the Silver Spear Festival were cut off and picked on a long pole, and a row was erected in front of Juancheng. More than a dozen bloody human heads, not even pickled with lime, stood out in the bright sun, and looked particularly hideous.

Li Shoujing saw a young general in bright armor riding a horse for more than ten steps, and said loudly to himself: "Li Shoujing, the envoy of Puzhou Jiedu, and Xu Yonghui, the envoy of Huazhou Jiedu, conspired to assassinate the King of Qin unsuccessfully, and harmed the officials of the Qin Palace, which is like a rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable, and the ten clans should be punished!" The silver spear served as an aid to the army and resisted the entry of the king, and his crime should be punished. Wait for an hour, disarm, open the city, surrender, or be lenient, otherwise, the king will attack the city and the three armies will be slaughtered! ”

Every time the young general recited a sentence, hundreds of soldiers would repeat it, and for a time the sound was overwhelming, making people's hearts tremble. Especially at the end, the sentence "the three armies were slaughtered" was repeated three times, and the sound shook the sky and had a lingering feeling.

The silver spears on the city wall were all discolored, and their faces were hard to see, and those Juancheng people who were recruited or forcibly captured by Li Shoujing to help defend the city were even more frightened to the point that their legs were weak, and there was no shortage of crying voices.

Li Shoujing's face was as black as ink, and he ordered to cut down a few young men who were crying, and said to the silver spear soldiers: "King Qin's heart is black, he wants to take my wealth and share my profits, so that I can't be full and can't live in peace!" Wait for the soldiers and listen well, my wealth and my interests are all obtained by you and me fighting bloodily, if others want to get involved, come to kill one, come to kill two, they must not respond! ”

With some iron and blood, coupled with rhetoric and incitement, the effect was very good, and the city settled down a little.

Li Shoujing knew that he had to give hope to the soldiers at this time, and he said: "The Tianxiong army envoy Huang Fuhui has agreed with the commander that once a war breaks out in Puzhou, Weizhou will raise troops to save him. You don't have to panic, just hold on for three or two days, and reinforcements will arrive! ”

After saying this, Li Shoujing passed down another military order: those who are cowardly will be killed, those who retreat will be killed, and those who speak falsely will be killed. If one person is convicted, the whole family will be punished!

After many efforts, the ferocity of the Silver Spear Festival was stimulated, and the morale gradually rose. Li Shoujing breathed a sigh of relief.

What he said just now was sincere, he believed that Huang Fuhui would come to the rescue, as long as he persisted for a few days, he would be able to keep the clouds open.

Li Shoujing used a little means to stabilize the situation, which made Xu Yonghui very surprised, and he also noticed the gap between himself and Li Shoujing. However, now is not the time to care about these, seeing that the army of the Hundred Battles Army is killed, Li Shoujing is about to finish, at this time he naturally has to work hard to make noise, so as to make some meritorious achievements for Li Congjing to see.

Xu Yonghui pointed to the outside of the city and said to Li Shoujing: "Brother Li, something is wrong, look outside the city, there seems to be something strange!" ”

"What's wrong!" Li Shoujing was very unhappy that Xu Yonghui said these words that affected morale at this time, and responded casually.

Xu Yonghui didn't seem to see the warning in Li Shoujing's eyes, and then said: "The number of the Hundred Battles Army is wrong!" ”

was said by Xu Yonghui, and Li Shoujing also had to take a serious look outside the city. After watching it for a while, Li Shoujing's heart jumped violently. Fang just patronized the morale of the army, and did not observe the outside of the city too much, at this time, he looked carefully, and immediately found that the number of the hundred battle troops outside the city was too small.

Although it is only an observation of a city wall, Li Shoujing is also sure that there are absolutely no 10,000 people here, at most 5,000 people!

Li Shoujing had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he turned around and gave an order to the guards, asking them to go to the other three city walls to have a look.

Soon the guards came back to report, and the conclusions they came to were indeed consistent with conjecture, and the hundred battle troops who came to besiege Juancheng were indeed only about 5,000 people.

"No one in sight! Arrogant! 5,000 people want to break my Juancheng, and Li Congjing inevitably doesn't take Ben Shuai in his eyes! Li Shoujing felt that he was being slighted, which made him feel humiliated. People with status and power naturally have greater self-esteem than ordinary people.

It is true that there are only about 1,000 people in the silver spear festival in the city, but the number of auxiliaries and young men is also quite large, Li Shoujing thinks that although it is difficult to resist 10,000 people, it is not difficult to hold on for a few days, Li Congjing humiliated him so much, which made him very unhappy.

Since the battle with Li Congjing, he has lost too much, and he doesn't want to be despised even for his last dignity.

Xu Yonghui didn't intend to take care of Li Shoujing's mood, showing a puzzled look, and then said: "There are only 5,000 soldiers outside the city, so where did the other 5,000 soldiers go?" ”

Li Shoujing was stunned and didn't know how to answer Xu Yonghui. In a moment, he already had an answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to face it anyway, it was the last hope of the Silver Spear Festival.

Naturally, the war on the riverside has ended, and the Hundred Battles Army will not stay on the riverside.

Then there is only one place for the Hundred Battles Army.

Li Shoujing closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, his face was hideous, he grabbed Xu Yonghui's collar, and said to him viciously: "Shut up, if you dare to say more, I will kill my army!" ”

The news that the Hundred Battles Army had crossed the Yellow River and besieged Juancheng was quickly reported to Zhao Zaili and Huangfuhui by the Weizhou scouts.

Hearing this shocking news, Huang Fuhui immediately lost color, and then thought of sending troops to rescue. However, sending troops is not an easy task, and without a suitable reason, it will not be justified after all.

Zhao Zaili did not agree with sending troops, he thought that the Tianxiong army only needed to defend Weizhou, and it was not appropriate to cause trouble, he said to Huang Fuhui: "It was a big mistake for the soldiers to return to the city without the order of Zhuangzong, and His Majesty had led troops to suppress it. Now His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, but considering that Weizhou has the merit of following the dragon, he has never done anything to the end. Rao is so, Your Majesty also ordered the commander to move the town, the commander disobeyed the order, must have made His Majesty angry, at this time if there is no reason to raise troops, it will become the target of the public, absolutely not so. Otherwise, the time of destruction is just around the corner! ”

Huang Fuhui knew that Zhao Zaili was afraid of things, before Weizhou wanted to form an alliance with Puzhou, Zhao Zaili did not agree, but he still did it, and Zhao Zaili did not take him seriously, and now although Weizhou and Puzhou have an agreement, he also knows that Zhao Zaili did not take it seriously.

But Huang Fuhui is different, he is a proud soldier, and the angle of looking at the problem is different from Zhao Zaili, and he said at the moment: "Weizhou has long been a thorn in the eyes of the imperial court, a thorn in the flesh, Tianxiong, Zhuri, silver spear and other armies, known as His Majesty's jealousy, suppression is a matter of time, if you want to protect yourself, there is no other way to rely on it, only to strengthen your ears." Weizhou and Puzhou are dependent on each other, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, since ancient times, if you don't save Puzhou now, you won't save yourself! ”

"Raising troops for no reason is tantamount to rebellion, why bother to come to such a field?!" Cho Jae-ri was heartbroken.

"Weizhou does not rebel, Weizhou only protects itself!" Huang Fuhui snorted coldly, there are excuses everywhere to raise troops, just find any one, and when the time comes, you can just force the Hundred Battles Army to retreat, and you may not have to fight with the Hundred Battles Army.

"Your Majesty is not a mediocre monarch, if you act like this, even if you can be strong for a while, he will be plotted by Your Majesty one day!" Zhao Zaili didn't know Huang Fuhui's plan, and slapped the table vigorously.

"If there is a soldier, it is the master, why should I be afraid of it?" Huang Fuhui straightened his neck and said, "Wei Bo can abandon Liang and join Jin that day, and today he can also be self-reliant!" ”

Zhao Zaili was shocked, "Huang Fuhui, you are so bold!" You are destroying yourself! ”

Huang Fuhui was too lazy to entangle with Zhao Zaili anymore, Tianxiongjun said that he was not Zhao Zaili, there was no need to waste time with him here, "Xiazhou can stand on its own, Wei Bo is a hundred times stronger, what can't be done!" The eldest husband was born in the world, standing up to the heavens and the earth, how can he be driven by others! ”

Huang Fuhui strode out of the door, but Zhao Zaili froze in place, stunned and speechless.

Huang Fuhui's words are not just planning to save Puzhou, but really planning to rebel. This Qiu Ba, from a pawn to his current position, Wei Zhou can no longer satisfy his appetite, he wants more things!

The Xia Prefecture in Huang Fuhui's mouth is the state of the envoy who determines the difficulty. Determine the difficulty of the festival and make the party members.

The party originally lived in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks seized their territory, and their departments went through a turning point to attach to the Tang Dynasty, and Taizong raised them in Xiazhou.

After Huangchao broke through Chang'an, Xizong called on the division of the king of Qin to recover Chang'an, and the leader of the party, Tuoba Sigong, led his troops to the south and fought with Huangchao's army in a bloody battle on the outskirts of Chang'an, and his brother Tuoba Sizhong died in battle. After the recovery of Chang'an, in order to show his merits, the Emperor gave the country the surname Li and sealed the difficult festival.

After Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, the party members ran Xiazhou, which has been in a semi-independent state until today.

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations, Taizong Zhao Guangyi wanted to transform Xiazhou into the king, so he moved the party nobles to Bianliang, but Li Jiqian, who was the age of the crown, refused to obey the order. Zhao Guangyi sent troops to attack him, and Li Jiqian led his people to fight with the Northern Song Dynasty army for more than 20 years, and finally made the Northern Song Dynasty no longer return to Xiazhou. Later, in order to expand his power, Li Jiqian captured Liangzhou and began to march into the Hexi Corridor.

After Li Jiqian's death, after two generations of efforts, his grandson Li Yuanhao took full control of the Hexi Corridor. In 1038, Li Yuanhao was proclaimed emperor and established the so-called "Great White High Kingdom", known as Western Xia in history.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Zhao Zaili was in tears, he thought that Huang Fuhui had been swallowed up by his own ambitions, "What a sin! Look for death! ”

Huang Fuhui didn't go to look for death, and before he could set off with his army, the scout sent back the news. It was this news that made Huang Fuhui have to reconsider and give up his plan to march immediately.

The news brought back by the scouts was simple, but thrilling enough: a hundred battle army, with a strength of about 4,000 men, was stationed in Linhuang, did not cross the river, and built fortifications in the north of the front.

Huang Fuhui didn't expect things to turn out like this, never expected.

The Hundred Battles Army let 4,000 people not cross the river and stationed in Linhuang, what is the intention? Are they building fortifications in Linhuang, or are they facing north, and who are they guarding against?

Weizhou, Linhuang, and Juancheng, from north to south, are almost in a straight line.

The answer is self-explanatory, what the Hundred Battles Army is guarding against is Weizhou!

"Damn!" Huang Fuhui didn't expect Li Congjing to come to such a hand, and the Hundred Battles Army was so arranged, which showed that Li Congjing had long been wary of Weizhou.

Previously, it was also strange why Li Congjing wanted to attack Juancheng, why he didn't go down the river, or march from Huazhou, but from the north bank of the Yellow River. Now it is all understood, Li Congjing has spent so much time, obviously not to deal with Juancheng, but to fortify in Linhuang and guard against Weizhou!

But how did Li Congjing know about the agreement between Weizhou and Puzhou?

Thinking of this, Huang Fuhui broke out in a cold sweat.

Huang Fuhui's face was bloodless, so he had to scold hatefully: "Straight lady thief! ”

This Huangfu general, who later led his troops to surrender to the Southern Tang Dynasty (Wu State), was appointed as the envoy of the Fenghua Army in the Southern Tang Dynasty, was crowned with the title of Pingzhangshi, and sat in Jiangzhou, the heart of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was at a loss at this time.

Within three days, Huang Fuhui, who was very entangled and paid close attention to Puzhou, heard a piece of news that made him weak. He knew that the Tianxiong Army could no longer be saved, not even himself.

The Hundred Battles Army conquered Juancheng, and Li Shoujing was beheaded.
