Chapter 159: Xiao Cangshan

Just when Xu Han led his men and horses to help in the battle, to arrest Jiao Wentong and prevent the men and horses of Qixingzhai from going to Xishan, a large number of people in Taiyuan City, who had been preparing for a long time, organized a "riot"!

These people, all survivors of the Battle of Taiyuan, are fierce, tenacious, and their loyalty and favorability to Wang Yu's faction are incomparable. Chu Tianya sent a fine work to operate in the city for a long time, and encouraged him with the death of Wang Yu, and it did not take much effort to persuade these people to participate in this rebellion.

When the hour came, thousands of nearly 10,000 people gathered together in an organized manner, and first came to a demonstration, directly attacking the official yamen, asking Xu Han to "give an explanation" for Wang Yu's death and the imprisonment of Wang Xun. Xu Han was no longer in Taiyuan City, and the officials under him suddenly saw such a huge public riot, which frightened the six gods and no owners to deal with it. The people of Taiyuan, who had gone through the baptism of fire in the Battle of Taiyuan, were all masters who were not afraid of death, and they had a big temper, and they had a fierce physical conflict with the guards guarding the official mansion in a few rounds.

"The officers and soldiers beat people!"

With this shout, countless people let out a hysterical roar, and began to beat the guards and rushed into the official mansion.

There are not too many guards in Taiyuan City, and most of the guards were taken out of the city by Xu Han today, ready to welcome the men and horses of Qixingzhai to surrender. After the people broke down the government, they set fire to it without stopping. The yamen of the Taiyuan prefect suddenly burst into flames, and the entire city fell into an unstoppable chaos!

The soldiers defending the city panicked and hurriedly called for help from the large army outside the city. The troublemakers had Xishan's meticulous work under their command, and after breaking the official palace, they rushed out of the city, and the sporadic guards guarding the city saw that the crowd was surging like a tide, and they all turned into birds and beasts and scattered!

The alarm in Taiyuan City soon spread to the army outside the city, at this time Xu Han, Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu had already led three troops to leave, but the original Shengjie Army, Taiyuan Xiang Army and the five thousand cottage men and horses brought by Guan Shan before did not take a few. In this way, in the military camp outside the city, the number of these three groups accounted for the majority!

Xu Han stayed behind to guard the local general of the military camp who received the alarm and was about to assign people to Taiyuan to rescue, but unexpectedly, a few big men suddenly jumped out of his side, and without saying a word, he was directly cut down with a knife!

The leader is none other than Wang Xun!

Wang Xun wore linen and filial piety, and cut off Wang Shi's Songzi banner surrounded by dozens of die-hard loyalists, and reprimanded Xu Han's "bad deeds" in public, saying that he killed Wang Yu, and suppressed the Taiyuan soldiers who defended the city, and deprived Guanshan of military power, and also hunted down and killed many heroes of Qixingzhai who returned to Shun!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the camp of Wang Shi, the pot was completely exploded!

"It's !! the other way around"

A huge roar resounded through the barracks like a stormy wave. The people and horses of the Shengjie Army, the Taiyuan Military Patrol and the Qixingzhai have been holding their stomachs for a long time these days, and at this time, they all came out, and the sergeants who were carrying those Wang Shi around them were beaten violently!

The scene suddenly became very violent and chaotic. The soldiers of the Wang Division, who had lost their backbone, faced the other soldiers who were angry with the same enemy, and the timid ones were so frightened that they were beaten with their heads in their hands, and the bold ones dared to rise up and resist a few times, but after all, they couldn't escape the fate of being killed and maimed, and the smart ones ran away first.

There was a fight, and the deserters in the barracks were scattered, and there was chaos.

After tossing for a while, Wang Xun climbed high and shouted, "Brothers, if you are willing to go against Xishan with Wang and go to my brother Chu Tianya, now use your weapons, ride your horse, and follow me!" ”

"It's the other way around!"

"Go to the West Mountain!!"

There is no suspense in the call!

At this time, nearly 100 people who were making trouble in the city also rushed over, joined the rebels organized by Wang Xun, and marched according to the route that Chu Tianya had already demarcated for them - directly to Xiaocang Mountain and kicked Xu Han's ass!

The rebels, including the people of the city, totaled no less than 40,000 horses, and the momentum was extremely huge. In the large military camp of the Taiyuan Wangshi, the camp was empty and scattered in an instant, and even the food and bedding were all moved.

……

When Wang Xun's men and horses set off, the two generals, Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu, were heading towards the foothills of Xiaocang Mountain, following the direction of Jiao Wentong's escape, to pursue.

The second general had long known that there would be an ambush on the mountain, so he walked cautiously and swallowed slowly. The more Xu Han looked at the back, the more angry he became, so he simply rushed to the front with his own people.

"Since the two generals are so greedy for life and afraid of death, let Xu Moujie lead the troops first!"

The planter was not polite to him, "Those who can work hard, Xu Xianggong, please!" ”

"Humph!"

Xu Han really wanted to spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the face of the planter, and after snorting, he slapped the horse forward with great fanfare.

His men and horses had just walked to the corner of the foothills, and suddenly a horn blew up in the middle of the mountain, and countless people and horses stood up all over the mountain, and all kinds of banners were waving in the wind, and the huge drums rumbled and shouted to kill the sky, stretching for more than ten miles. At first glance, it seems that there are thousands of troops and horses, and they have surrounded Xu Han and the two generals, and they have surrounded them in the middle, forming an iron bucket!

Xu Han was really frightened, and the horse couldn't ride steadily.

All the sergeants were also shocked, looking around in a hurry, at a glance it was all ambushes, red flags, yellow flags, white flags, blue flags, colorful all over the mountains, plus the deafening sound of drums and horns, which can scare people out!

The seed master and Yao Gu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, shook their heads, and sighed.

"You and I will die here today!"

"It's a pity that I have to fight for half my life, but I have to give a pedantic nerd a funeral!"

Xu Han rode on the horse and panicked for a while, and his head was a little dizzy, but he aroused the nerdy boldness in his bones, and pulled out his beautiful brand new saber and roared, "Rush, rush me!" Rush out! ”

"Xiang, Xianggong, where are you going?"

"It is tightly surrounded on all sides, and the enemy is on the mountain, how can it be impacted?"

"I don't care, rush me, rush!" Xu Han was like crazy, and roared hoarsely, "If the enemy is not the first, cut it!" ”

The planters wanted to cry, so they hurriedly slapped their horses and grabbed the reins of Xu Han's horse's head, and shouted: "Xu Xiang, you are calm!" ”

Xu Han was drunk by his angry roar, and a spirit seemed to have returned to his body, and he looked at the seed master with his eyes, and said, "What strategy do you have to break through the siege and break the enemy?" ”

The seed master held his temper and said, "Didn't Xu Xianggong find out that the enemy did not attack our army? ”

Xu Han was stunned, he seemed to be right!

Although their own army was completely surrounded by enemy troops, the enemy army was only waving their flags and shouting, and did not launch any attacks. In fact, in such an environment, the enemy only needs to drop the rolling stones and release rockets, which can inflict an absolutely huge casualty blow on Xu Han's troops.

Fortunately, the enemy did not do this.

"What do they mean?" Xu Han finally calmed down and asked.

"Obviously, the enemy is very well prepared, but they don't want to kill me. ”

"Why?" Xu Han asked in surprise.

The planter shook his head with a frown, "My subordinates don't know." Why don't we send a messenger up the mountain to ask for clarification. ”

"Will it work?" Xu Han couldn't help but wonder. Now that the two armies are at war, can they still send emissaries?

"The enemy has taken advantage of the geography and the opportunity but is not in a hurry to attack us, and it seems that there is still room for relaxation. Why don't we give it a try? The planter said, "If it doesn't work, it's not too late to fight." ”

Xu Han let out a long breath. After all, he was a literati who had never fought in battle, and he was naturally afraid in his heart at this time. If there is room for manoeuvre, it is of course the best. So he said, "So...... That's good! ”

Soon, a partial general holding a letter flag rode a horse and ran halfway up the mountain. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "I am a messenger sent by the Prime Minister to meet your king!" ”

"This Xu Han is an acquaintance!" Meng De and Chu Tianya, who were halfway up the mountain, both laughed.

"Brother, you call the shots." Meng De smiled, "Xu Han is already a turtle in the urn, how do you think it will fall?" ”

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Wait for me to go down the mountain." I'm going to have a personal interview with Xu Han. ”

"It won't be a problem, will it?"

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "According to what I said, Xu Han, a nerd, is still a bit of a 'scholar style', different from ordinary mediocre officials and laymen, and he will not cheat in public, he can't afford to lose this face." Although we are on the same page, there are some truths that Xu Han should be able to listen to. ”

"Okay, go ahead, be careful!"

Chu Tianya asked someone to answer, saying that he asked Xu Han to come forward in person and talk to him face-to-face.

Xu Han was angry when he heard this, "What is Chu Tianya, and he dares to talk to me?" ”

The planter and Yao Gu persuaded hard, saying that this time is different from the past, but the overall situation is important. Xu Han had to endure his temper, and only took three or five cavalrymen to personally go out halfway up the mountain, and met with Chu Tianya and a few others.

At the first sight of Chu Tianya, Xu Han was a little surprised, and said in his heart, I only heard that the surname Chu is quite young, but I never thought that he was a young boy with a weak crown and a stinky milk! …… At such an age, you can toss such a big movement, what if you have time?

"It's been a long time, Xu Xianggong." Chu Tianya rode on a horse and greeted Xu Han with a smile.

Xu Han snorted coldly, "Don't dare to be." ”

Chu Tianya didn't care about his arrogance, and smiled slightly: "I won't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." I only have two words to say to Xu Xianggong. With that, I'll go. Whether you want to fight or reconcile, it is up to you to make promise. ”

Xu Han's face tightened, "You can tell me and listen to it." ”

"First, the father and son of the ancestor Wang Dutong, as well as the former prefect Zhang Xiaochun, plus Chu, Xishan Mengde, Ma Kuo and others, as well as all the heroes of Taihang Zhuzhai, and even every Shengjie army soldier and the people of Taiyuan, what they did before was just to resist Jin and save the country." Chu Tianya said, "I'm not justifying or begging for forgiveness and rewards from the imperial court, because I don't care at all. I'm just stating one thing. Believe it or not, it's up to you. ”

Xu Han's face was about to turn red, and he took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly, "What about another sentence?" ”

"Second, whether it is in the past, present or future, what the Hedong Righteous Army wants to do is only to fight against the Jin soldiers and defend the country." Chu Tianya said, "The great enemy is now, please don't kill each other with a single inch of rat eyes. You should praise him so that his good name can spread all over the world, so that he can win the support and love of the people and unite to resist gold and save the country. At this time of national crisis, the imperial court blindly compromised with the outside world, and was militarily weak and powerless. Finally, there was a victory in Taiyuan and a great victory in Huanglong Valley, and even if the court did not praise it, it was still suppressing and mutilating meritorious people. This kind of practice is difficult to think of if you don't lose people's hearts! ”

"Chu Tianya, you dare to talk about state affairs even if you are a mere yellow-mouthed child, you are really a veritable monkey!" Xu Han couldn't help it, raised his hand and pointed at Chu Tianya and shouted angrily, "Don't think that once you gain power, you can do whatever you want!" Even if Xu loses to you today, one day, you will also be defeated! ”

"Oh, why?" Chu Tianya couldn't help but smile and looked at Xu Han with interest.

"Because you're a bandit! A thief is a thief, and it will never become the climate! - Compared to Fang Lalai, you are far behind! Xu Han scolded angrily.

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed loudly, "Then let's wait and see!" - After I finish speaking, do you like to listen or not? ”

After saying that, Chu Tianya turned the horse's head, and threw down a sentence before leaving, "If you want to fight, blow the horn to fight me; If you want to make peace, put up a white flag and wave it a few times, and Chu will naturally give up a way to live with you! ”

"Chu Tianya, you villain, if you want to be ambitious, you will be rampant!" Xu Han was completely enraged, and roared with a flushed face, "Although this official is surrounded by you, I have 40,000 troops here, and tens of thousands of troops in the rear to respond!" How can I be afraid of a few thieves from you?! ”

"Really? How does Xu Xianggong compare himself to Yan Zonghan? Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "The battle of tongues is the most meaningless, and only scholars like Xu Xianggong are the most enthusiastic and proficient, and Chu has no interest in it." Listen, I'll give you an hour to think about it. Believe me, you'll change your mind. ”

After that, Chu Tianya slapped the horse and left.

Xu Han was so angry that he trembled, and he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and go down the mountain.

Yao and Chong Er will receive him and ask him how he is doing? Xu Han told them what Chu Tianya said.

The second general hurriedly said: "Xu Xiang, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, let's go as the best policy!" ”

"Wouldn't that make the yellow-mouthed boy surnamed Chu more and more proud?" Xu Han really couldn't swallow this breath, and said hatefully, "Yao Gu, you lead a group of men and horses to break through to the south and go to Taiyuan to bring rescue troops - today, I will use 100,000 troops to uproot Chu Tianya, a great confidant!" ”

"Xu Xiangsi is thinking twice!" The second general of Chong and Yao were anxious, "At this time, our army has lost the opportunity to fall into an ambush, the time and place are not in me, if the battle is defeated!" ”

"100,000 imperial court kings, will they not be able to defeat just bandits?" Xu Han was about to be dizzy.

"Xu Xiang, the victory or defeat of the battle is not all about the number of troops!" The second general will begin to persuade him bitterly.

Chu Tianya returned halfway up the mountain, and said to Meng De with a smile: "Seventh brother, that person surnamed Xu is really an upright nerd. The scholarly spirit is strong, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he does not understand military affairs at all, and he is a little ignorant of current affairs. ”

"Then let's just teach him a hard lesson!" Meng De said, "There is no need to be polite to such a nerd!" You're polite, he thought you were afraid of him! ”

"No, you don't." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Wait, he will obediently put up the white flag, and then flee in disgrace." After all, we are our own people, and it is better not to kill each other. Don't be cheap, the Jurchens are. ”

"Well, then we'll talk about it later."

Time passed minute by minute, and the soldiers of the Wang Division who were surrounded were all anxious. It was difficult for Xu Han to unify the opinions of the two generals and Yao, and they were in constant dispute.

Seeing that the time limit of an hour given by Chu Tianya was approaching, at this time, a large number of people and horses suddenly appeared in the mountains in the south, shouting like a tsunami, and rushed straight to Xu Han's department!

Xu Han, Chong, and Yao were all shocked, "Where did so many people come from in Xishan?" ”

If you look closely, it is actually all the costumes of the royal court and the princes, and there are also some cloth clothes and ordinary people mixed in them. A young general at the head of the platoon, with an angry horse and a spear, waving a big banner with the word "king" written on it!

"Wang Xun!"

Xu Han and the others immediately understood, and they were all dumbfounded on the spot!

Wang Xun's temper was already a little impatient, and because of his father's death, there was too much resentment in his heart, and at this time, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he killed Xu Han's department without saying a word!

40,000 soldiers and civilians, shouting to kill the heavens, the entire Xiaocang Mountain was shaken! .
