Chapter 12 Shame and Thief Acquaintance and Not Living with Kou (3)

(Second update.) )

"The building boat crosses the snow Guazhou at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind. The ancients did not deceive me, this Sanguan is indeed a miracle. Li Congjing looked at his forehead, attracted by the mountains and rivers in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It is the end of August, the weather is cool, the autumn mood is getting stronger, the pine and cypress on the mountain field, the branches and leaves are yellowed and not withered, sometimes the mountain wind gusts, the autumn leaves are flying, it is indeed beautiful.

Today, the main force of the 50,000 forbidden army led by Li Congjing has finally reached the end of the pass.

"The building boat crosses the snow melon island at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind? Well, indeed good verse! Beside Li Congjing, Feng Dao twisted his beard and praised, and then showed a puzzled look, "I just don't know which sage did this sentence, but I haven't heard of it." ”

This large-scale attack on Shu is an imperial event, so the lineup is also luxurious, Feng Dao is now leading the Liangchuan Xuanfu envoy, and he is responsible for the work of soothing the people after the war.

Li Congjing knew that he had missed the trap, and was slightly embarrassed, but then he didn't care, and said confidently: "I forgot." ”

"Forgot?" Feng Dao was surprised, seeing that Li Congjing had no intention of continuing to answer, although he felt a pity, he was helpless, after all, the other party was the King of Qin, although such a reason was unbelievable, but what could he do with the other party?

Since he couldn't find the answer from Li Congjing, Feng Dao pulled Qi Ji beside him to ask, and the other party's erudition was also deeply admired by Feng Dao, so he hoped to find clues from the old monk.

The old monk Qi Ji's head shook like a rattle, "The poor monk has never heard of it." "This time he went out with the army, but to assist Feng Dao, Buddhism flourished in the land of Liangchuan, and he had a place to use.

This makes Feng Dao both confused and entangled, he and Qi Ji are both well-educated, poetry and books in the world, even they don't know about them, rare, and such poems should not be nameless.

Li Congjing saw that Feng Dao kept twisting his beard, tearing his beard off, and the other party didn't notice it at all, so he couldn't help but secretly say ashamed, in order to divert his attention, he turned to the sword beside him and said: "On this Zhongnan Mountain, there is a place to go, called Quanzhen Sect, which is a thriving place for Daomen, there may be many kendo masters there, can Jianzi be interested in going to have a look?" ”

"The True Sect?" Jianzi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and shook his head, "Unheard of." ”

Li Congjing was surprised, thinking to himself that the Quanzhen Sect had not yet risen at this time?

Seeing that Jianzi was stunned, Li Congjing had a naughty thought, and immediately ridiculed the other party: "Unheard of? Rush candle! ”

Jianzi glanced at Li Congjing, and soon found out from the other party's expression that the other party was deliberately ridiculing him, so he immediately turned his head away, snorted lightly, and didn't care about Li Congjing.

This guy has been in the Qin Wangfu for two years, doing nothing all day, leisurely and comfortable like a bird in the forest, so that Li Congjing every time he sees it, he is a little red-eyed, and the sword is leisurely and elegant, but the Qin Wangfu has become a bird's nest, as the master, Li Congjing is inevitably very unhappy, and he will make clever words when he has nothing to do on weekdays, trying to provoke the change of the sword's mood, making him angry, depressed, and happy about it.

It's just that, as now, it's often not as good as it should be.

This time the troops were sent to Liangchuan, and the sword had to accompany him, Li Congjing didn't stop him, this kind of Jianghu people have a soft spot for the earth, mountains and rivers, but they can still enjoy it, unlike Li Congjing, who is busy with government and military affairs all day long, even if he wants to indulge in the mountains and rivers, he can't be idle, no wonder he envies the other party.

"Counting that you have been in Luoyang for more than two years, there will be no problem if you don't return to Shanmen for so long?" Li Congjing asked Jianzi seriously, this question is really a little strange,

However, Jianzi immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at Li Congjing, "You think I eat and drink for nothing in the Qin Palace, and you want to drive me away?!" If these words were to be said by ordinary people, they might have an inferiority complex, but here in Jianzi, there is no such meaning at all, and it is completely justified.

Li Congjing really didn't know what Jianzi's head was made of, and seeing that the other party's attitude of resistance was so resolute, he had to spread out his hands and shrug his shoulders, "You are still not lonely, you are worried, you are so old that you are not doing your job, and no little lady will be willing to marry you in the future." ”

After that, I was very happy and laughed out loud.

Jianzi was even more annoyed, his face was as white as jade, and he stabbed Li Congjing with murderous eyes to no avail, and turned his head away with hatred, "Don't worry about it!" ”

The army cut down Shu, Chencang is where the grain is hoarded, and everyone has not passed the pass, and it is still in Chencang. Speaking of the customs of Chencang, Feng Dao said leisurely: "Governed by Fuxi, born by Emperor Yan, capital of the Yellow Emperor, Chencang has been a place where the essence gathers since ancient times, and it is also an important place for soldiers. In the sixth year of Jianxing, Kong Ming went out of the customs and surrounded Chen Cang, and Cao Zhen relied on it. There are countless examples of similar battles. Your Highness, now I am cutting down Shu, and Chencang is a place for hoarding grain, so it is necessary to fortify it with heavy troops. ”

Li Congjing smiled and said: "The Sword Gate has been defeated, how can the Shu soldiers attack my Chen Cang?" Feng Gong filtered. ”

As he spoke, a messenger returned to report on the situation at the front.

Li Congjing took the letter, unfolded it on horseback, quickly browsed it, read it, and said to Feng Dao and others: "The vanguard of the Northern Route Army, Li Shaocheng, Li Congke, and Shi Jingjiao, have joined forces together, and the garrison is at the foot of Beishan Mountain, and will attack Jianzhou tomorrow." ”

There is nothing important about this military report, Li Shaocheng mentioned in the letter that Guanjianzhou is quite tightly guarded, and there may be a vicious battle next, but at the same time, he also said that he must fight bravely to capture the city, so that Li Congjing can directly enter Jianzhou after leading the forbidden army to cross the Jianmen Pass.

The other two letters are much more important.

One talked about the destruction of Langzhou City.

Langzhou was broken so quickly, to everyone's surprise, Mo Li said: "Since Li Shaobin has captured Langzhou, he will definitely divide his troops to help Jianzhou, so it can be seen that the next situation of the pioneer is not good." ”

"And that's not all." Li Congjing raised another letter in his hand and said solemnly: "It has become a fact that Li Shaobin has increased his troops in Jianzhou, and he sent his general Wang Hui to go. In addition, Meng Zhixiang was greatly shocked when he learned that Jianmen was lost, and sent Li Zhao, the commander of the capital, to lead an army of 5,000 and rush to Jianmen in the starry night. ”

"How is the Wanzhou Army progressing?" It was Du Qianshu who asked this, and this time Li Congjing cut down Shu and transferred him to accompany him. Although the Yanwu Academy has always been led by Du Qianshu, the Yanwu Academy is now on the right track after all, and there is no need for him to keep an eye on it.

- Cutting down Shu is a big event, if it is done, it is also a great achievement, Li Congjing naturally wants to bring the whole team, so that everyone can share the credit.

"After Guo Wei occupied Hezhou, he did not move his troops and did not attack easily. When Meng Zhixiang heard of the change, he sent Li Yun to lead an army of 4,000, and ordered Li Renhan to divide 10,000 troops from Suizhou, led by Zhao Tingyin, and the two gathered together to attack Hezhou. Li Congjing said, "The latest letter has not mentioned the situation of the war, and I don't know what the situation is." ”

"Li Renhan actually divided 10,000 troops from Suizhou?" Sang Weihan was quite surprised, "How is the battle situation in Suizhou?" ”

Li Congjing received the letter, looked at Dasanguan, and said: "Xia Luqi faced Li Renhan, fought fiercely for many days, and the victory was not scored. Later, when he heard that the city of Langzhou was broken and Suizhou was shaken, Xia Luqi opened up the situation and boosted morale, so that Kang Wentong went out of the city to attack the camp and never thought about it.

Didn't think about it? Everyone's hearts shook for a while, and they didn't know what kind of battle situation it was that made Li Congjing's face so ugly.

It didn't make everyone wonder for long, Li Congjing softened his expression, his voice calmed down, and continued: "Kang Wentong led his troops to surrender to the enemy. ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, some were resentful, some were shocked, Sang Weihan scolded: "The thief dares to commit treason to the enemy, and lose the face of my Tang Erlang, it's too hateful!" If he can capture this thief one day, he will eat his flesh and drink his blood! ”

Li Congjing glanced at Sang Weihan, and before he could speak, Wang Pu asked: "Kang Wentong's surrender to the enemy will definitely cause great losses and blows to the Wuxin Army, I don't know what the situation will be after that?" ”

Li Congjing said: "With Kang Wentong out of the city, there is a famous Shi Yanchao, who is a student of the Academy of Martial Arts, seeing Kang Wentong's betrayal of the country, he was very angry, angry and stood up, waved his horse in the chaos of the army, counterattacked the thief army, beheaded Kang Wentong under the horse, and returned with his head!" ”

After that, Li Congjing closed his eyes and took a long breath, as if he was savoring the chaos of the war situation at that time, the courage of the strong man to kill the thief, half a ring, opened his eyes and continued: "If so, although the Wuxin army lost some soldiers, the morale did not drop too much, and Xia Ruqi personally fell into battle and did not retreat from the enemy, so the city could be defended. ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, this is dangerous, even if they hear about it, they also feel terrifying, not to mention those who are in the game, the situation at that time can be described as critical, because of this, everyone greatly admires Shi Yanchao's bravery and Xia Luqi's tenacity.

Sang Weihan took the lead and exclaimed: "Shi Yanchao? The real me Datang warrior also! ”

Du Qianshu's face turned red, "I haven't lost the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy!" ”

Mo Li opened the folding fan with a snap, shook it twice, and said: "With Xia Luqi as the handsome and Shi Yanchao as the general, Suizhou is safe for the time being. These remarks are intended to stabilize people's hearts, but in fact, the situation in Suizhou is not optimistic.

Li Congjing pulled the reins and rode forward, "Pass the order of the lonely army, step up the march, and rush to Jianzhou as soon as possible!" ”

The herald promised and went to the herald without mentioning it. On the same day, the forbidden army went out of the Great Scattered Pass.

Before Li Congjing led the army into the Sword Pavilion, there were two armies of men and horses, which had merged into the ranks of the army.

These two teams were led by two thorn histories - Wang Hongzhen and Feng Hui, the assassin of Luzhou, and the soldiers and horses led by the two were incorporated into the rear army by Li Congjing to take care of the baggage for the army.

Before and after the forbidden army drove through the Jianmen Pass, Li Congjing specially went to check the Yongding Pass and the Seven Villages of Jianmen, these places still have the traces of the fierce battle between the Jingnan Army and the enemy, inside and outside the Guanzhai, the reef on the wall that was blackened by fire, the masonry that was cut out of the dents and gaps, and the blood stains between the brick joints were all very clear, and it was still imaginable that the battle was fierce at that time.

If it weren't for the deviation provided by the map of the Military Intelligence Department, the battle at this Jianmen Pass would undoubtedly be more tragic. What's more, he won't take down the sword gate so easily.

Li Congjing visited the wounded left here by Li Shaocheng, comforted them, and went to a cemetery.

The reason why it is a cemetery, not a cemetery, is because the war between the two rivers has not ended, and the cemetery has not yet had time to be built.

This cemetery is not a sergeant's grave, but a grave of the dead in the military intelligence department. At that time, Zhao Xiangyao fled with the map of Liangchuan, and then there were a large number of pursuers to follow, after entering the big and small sword mountains, because there were many wounded, the mountain road was difficult to walk, everyone could not escape, and the accompanying Rui Shi was divided into several batches, with one or two people as a group, voluntarily left behind, and used flesh and blood to buy a moment for the map to be sent.

Of the more than 50 warriors who left with Zhao Xiangyao from the original place, only four walked out of the sword gate alive, and the survivors were truly more than one.

"Zhao Shengyun, Erhuzi" Li Congjing walked in front of the tombstone, silently recited the name on the tombstone, and listened to Zhao Xiangyao beside him tell the scene at that time, as if he felt that the big and small sword mountains were pressed on his shoulders, which was extremely heavy.

The mountain breeze blows, and the sound of the wind is like the voice of a heroic spirit.

"The Tang Empire is now also stained with the blood of my Zhao Shengyun!" Zhao Shengyun was shouting.

"It's as if you remember the smell of your mother's womb!" Erhuzi looked at the young man in front of him and smiled.

The blue sky was like a wash, Li Congjing raised his head, as if he saw Yao Hong who died in the battle on the Chang Street of Langzhou City, and he made a vow: "I will be a Tang person again in the next life!" ”

He seemed to see Shi Yanchao galloping in the chaotic army, drove his horse upright, cut Kang Wentong off the horse, spit out a mouthful of blood, and scolded: "It's a shame to know a thief, not to live with Kou!" ”

Li Congjing closed his eyes, for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "They are the backbone of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Leaving from the cemetery, before leaving the Sword Pavilion, Li Congjing received a letter and unfolded the letter, and his heart sank.

Half of the paper was soaked in blood, and there was only one line of writing, and the handwriting was sloppy, but the pen was powerful, so you can imagine the urgency of the situation at that time.

The content of the letter talks about the battle of Jianzhou.

————

Note: Kang Wentong did surrender to Li Renhan. Later, the war situation in Suizhou developed to the point of "exhausting the soldiers and eating poor".
