Chapter 62: Victory
The news of Liang Xingfa's extermination of the bandits spread in Fengxiang City at once, in addition to the local people bowing to him, even the officials were proud to make friends with him. Even foodies like the Songshan Seven Monsters have greatly increased their popularity because of following Liang Xingfa, and their entertainment has also increased greatly.
After Zhou Lijun reported Liang Xingfa's suppression of bandits to the great eunuch Yu Chaoen, Yu Chaoen couldn't help but admire: "This young man's ability is great, and his future is far away. Then Liang Xingfa was given a rich reward. In the next few days, Liang Xingfa was very busy, and many people came to drink and have fun with him, so his wine glass was never empty.
Coincidentally, at this time, Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, led an army of 50,000 to attack Chang'an. When they reached the northeast of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, they were resisted by the rebel general Li Guiren, and the two sides were equal in strength, forming a confrontation.
In general, Li Guiren still has the advantage, because this is a fierce man, he doesn't want to die in battle, he uses a spear, and he can also fire some hidden weapons while fighting. Guo Ziyi's generals Gu Huaien, Wang Zhongsheng, Li Ruoyou and Li Guiren will always lose every time they go out to fight alone, so the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Tang army. That Li Quy Ren was quite proud, boasting in the army all day long that he had fought all over the world invincible.
The great eunuch took the opportunity to slander Tang Suzong, saying that Guo Ziyi would not fight, lost the prestige of the Tang army, and asked Tang Suzong to arrest him and put him in prison. Yu Chaoen has always been jealous of Marshal Guo Ziyi, who is taller than him, has higher prestige than him, and even has a taller figure than him.
Tang Suzong disagreed with Yu Chaoen's statement, he believed that victory and defeat were a common thing for soldiers, and if the marshal would be punished for such a small setback before the war, then who would dare to lead the troops in the future. Then he reprimanded Yu Chaoen for maliciously slandering the heroes, because he wanted to prevent the world from being chaotic.
Yu Chaoen hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Weichen also said this because he was too worried about the emperor's country. Of course, Weichen hopes that Guo Ziyi will recover the eastern and western capitals as soon as possible, and then drive An Lushan into the grave. It's just that the longer the war is fought, the more detrimental it is to the emperor. It's better to summon Guo Ziyi back and discuss countermeasures. ”
Tang Suzong had no choice but to ask Guo Ziyi to come back first, anyway, the distance was not far. After Guo Ziyi came back, he immediately changed to Tang Suzong to report the situation on the battlefield, the rebels occupied a favorable terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the rebel general Li Guiren was extremely brave and good at fighting, so the Tang army could not launch a strong attack, otherwise it would suffer heavy losses and endanger the national foundation of the emperor Tang Suzong.
After Tang Suzong heard about Guo Ziyi's situation, he was also at a loss and anxious. So, he asked Yu Chaoen to come up with advice. However, this is obviously a superfluous move, even Guo Ziyi has nothing to do, he is an old eunuch who knows a lot, let him think of a way, it makes him more uncomfortable than asking for his life. I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Tang Suzong became angry when he saw Yu Chaoen's half-dead appearance, and scolded: "You said that you called Guo Ziyi back to discuss the way, but you couldn't discuss it, don't make a noise if you don't understand, if you don't know how to pretend to understand, it's always a rice bucket." ”
This rice bucket fish Chaoen begged for a big boredom, and went down after inviting An, thinking that one day he would compare Guo Ziyi to him.
Tang Suzong deliberately lengthened the words to comfort Guo Ziyi's hard work, so that Yu Chaoen could hear it. Then let Guo Ziyi go down to rest first, and then go back to the barracks after recuperating his spirits, as for how to fight this account, it is completely up to him to play.
Guo Ziyi also heard a little about Liang Xingfa, who became popular in Fengxiang City, and thought that the current future generations were quite terrifying, so he asked his subordinates to find Liang Xingfa to meet, maybe he could also find a talent for the benefit of the country.
Liang Xingfa heard that Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, wanted to see him, and he was particularly flattered. Guo Ziyi fought bravely, took the lead, and loved soldiers like sons, shared weal and woe with civilians, was loved by all the people, and has always been Liang Xingfa's idol. Now that fans can meet their idols, the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
Liang Xingfa came to Guo Ziyi's room, the furnishings here are relatively simple, a desk, a coffee table, and a bookshelf, and there are no luxuries, which is a little incompatible with his marshal status.
There were just the two of them in the house, Liang Xingfa made a big gift to his idol Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyi told him not to be polite, just sit casually and drink some tea.
Guo Ziyi's first impression on Liang Xingfa was that he was tall, lofty, gentle in tone, and bold in personality.
Guo Ziyi and Liang Xingfa first reviewed the process of suppressing bandits last time, and then spoke highly of the compass invented by Liang Xingfa.
Liang Xingfa blushed and said, "I didn't invent the compass. It is the crystallization of the command of the broad masses of working people. ”
Guo Ziyi said: "It is your ability to use it for marching and fighting." I don't know why the little brother came to Fengxiang. ”
Liang Xingfa told Guo Ziyi what happened before, and Guo Ziyi praised Liang Xingfa for being a person of great luck.
Guo Ziyi said to Liang Xingfa again: "I once had a relationship with your master, Zen Master Wuzhi. I have a lot of admiration for his amazing martial arts. If he is there, why worry will not be able to defeat Li Guiren. ”
Liang Xingfa said to Guo Ziyi: "The martial arts of the family master are indeed among the best in the rivers and lakes, but it is generally difficult for him to get along with others, so he would rather choose the life of idle clouds and wild cranes than conspire with others." When he gets old, maybe only one wild crane will be by his side. ”
Guo Ziyi laughed and said: "So you can't be too withdrawn, otherwise the evening will be bleak." Although Zen Master Wuzhi is a high monk, few people are willing to learn from him, but it's a pity that he has that skill. ”
Liang Xingfa said: "Not really. He usually likes to teach others, saying that if you plant melons, you will get melons, and if you plant beans, you will get beans. But he himself was always unwilling to farm, and said that he was destined to learn martial arts from him. Fate is too ethereal. ”
Guo Ziyi sighed, and then asked Liang Xingfa if he was willing to serve the Tang Army? Liang Xingfa said that he was of course very happy, but he didn't know what he could do.
Guo Ziyi then told Liang Xingfa about the current situation on the battlefield again, and he thought that Liang Xingfa was resourceful and would definitely be able to think of a way to break the enemy.
Liang Xingfa did not directly say his method, but asked Guo Ziyi what he planned to do, how to defeat Li Guiren?
Guo Ziyi said: "The only way now is to lure Li Guiren to fight elsewhere, and then set up an ambush to annihilate him in one fell swoop." ”
Liang Xingfa said to Guo Ziyi: "It is worthy of being the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and it is really a clever move." But how do you exercise it? ”
Guo Ziyi said: "This is also where my headache lies. The generals under my command, Fugu Huai'en, Wang Zhongsheng and others have all fought with Li Guiren, and they know exactly how many catties they have with each other, and it is not possible for them to lure Li Guiren. ”
Lang Xingfa said to Guo Ziyi: "Then let me go, and promise that he doesn't know that I will fail." ”
Guo Ziyi said excitedly: "Okay, our army has added another tiger general." ”
The next day, Liang Xingfa didn't even say a word to Yu Chaoen and others, and followed Guo Ziyi to Sanyuan. Yu Chaoen only learned afterwards that he was so angry that he scolded Guo Ziyi for being shameless and dared to dig into his corner. Then he scolded Liang Xingfa for being ignorant, and he didn't look at which side he was.
The Seven Monsters of Songshan heard that their boss had gone to the military camp in Sanyuan and wanted to follow. It's a pity that he was stopped by Yu Chaoen, saying that it was okay to go if he wanted to, and everyone had to leave a leg. also asked **** to demonstrate swordsmanship in front of them. Sure enough, they were so frightened that they could only stay where they were.
Liang Xingfa followed Guo Ziyi to the battlefield fully armed. He asked Guo Ziyi to arrange for people to ambush at the Baiqu Lianlian Bridge, and let him lure Li Guiren.
That Li Guiren was extremely arrogant on the battlefield, and kept talking about the generals, saying that the Tang army was all women's army, and no one had the courage to fight him alone, and no one could defeat him, which made him extremely lonely and extremely boring.
Liang Xing was furious, and rode his horse out of the battle to confront Li Guiren. As a result, Li Guiren was taken aback, and he couldn't imagine that there were still people in the Tang Army who had suffered successive defeats and dared to come out to die.
Li Guiren asked Liang Xingfa: "Who is coming, report it quickly." ”
Liang Xingfa said: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong. ”
Li Guiren was so angry that his opponent dared to play with him, didn't take him seriously, and yelled, "I'm still Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison." Then he grabbed Liang Xingfa directly. Liang Xingfa raised his sword to greet him.
The two fought on the horse for fifty rounds without a win. provoked Li Guiren to praise while fighting, although this person is not serious, but his martial arts are finally strong, and he is the opponent of chess.
Liang Xingfa suddenly kicked Li Guiren's horse in the head, the horse was frightened and retreated, Liang Xingfa performed a light skill again, and kicked Li Guiren on the shoulder with a volley, causing him to fall off the horse in response to the sound, falling all over the dust, and extremely embarrassed. Tang Jun cheered, and all of them had smiles on their faces. The rebels, on the other hand, were sad.
Liang Xingfa did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but waited for Li Guiren to stand up before fighting. This made Li Guiren feel humiliated and frantically attacked Liang Xingfa.
Liang Xingfa deliberately retreated while fighting, and then saw the opportunity to spit in his face. was so angry that he screamed and swore that he had to kill Liang Xingfa. Then he also fired a hidden weapon at Liang Xingfa. Although Liang Xingfa dodged, he also pretended to be unable to parry, and hurriedly lost. Li Guiren is willing to let him go, his strength is stronger than Li Guiren, and letting him go is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Liang Xingfa beckoned the Tang Army soldiers to flee quickly, the other party was too powerful. As a result, the rebels chased after the main generals. Li Guiren, who was in private anger, had completely lost his mind, and he didn't know what he was trying to do. Finally, Guo Ziyi was ambushed by the Baiqu Bridge, and the generals such as Gu Huai'en and Wang Zhongsheng suddenly came out, disrupting Li Guiren's formation at once, causing them to be annihilated. Li Quy Nin himself fell into the water. Fortunately, his swimming skills were strong and he was able to save his life.
Liang Xingfa followed Guo Ziyi and happily returned to Fengxiang to report the gratifying results to Tang Suzong. Unexpectedly, Yu Chaoen faced their glory and triumph, his eyes were extremely red, and he secretly made a trick to harm Liang Xingfa.
