The spring breeze in March is like a gentle overturning of a beautiful woman, soft and graceful. The sun was in the middle of the sky, and seeing that Fengxiang Mansion was already in sight, Li Bao rode on his horse and waved his hand to pause the march. He turned his head to Song Wendao behind him: "It's almost time to Fengxiang, let's rest for a while." ”

Song Wentong got the order and ordered his subordinates to give an order to Yang Siqi in the back, take a break for a while, and then Song Wentong rode to Li Bao's side.

After receiving Zheng Jin's message, Li Bao disrupted the original plan of the Weizhou Left and Right Army to capture the surrounding states and counties, and ordered Zhang Chengfan to take the Weizhou Left Army to stay and recover the surrounding territory according to the original plan, and he took Song Wentong's Weizhou Right Army to Fengxiang to participate in the military operation against Huangchao.

Li Bao saw that Song Wentong was coming, he smiled and picked up the water bladder and handed it to Song Wentong, and then said, "Did San'er inform Fengxiang that we have arrived?" ”

"Lang Jun rest assured, an hour ago, the leading scouts were already sent to report, and it is estimated that Feng Xiang's side should be coming to us to greet us soon."

Li Bao nodded, then pointed to the felt carpet on the ground, and said to Song Wendao: "Commander Song also sit down and rest." ”

Song Wentong had just drunk the water, and when he heard Li Bao's greeting, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "How can this be, how dare you sit with the king, it's better for you to stand here." ”

Li Bao smiled and said, "Now that I'm outside, Commander Song still don't be formal, come, sit down." ”

The smile on Song Wentong's face became even stronger, and he humbly conceded twice before sitting beside Li Bao.

Li Bao looked at Song Wentong and asked with a smile: "Commander Song thinks that this time to encircle and suppress Huangchao, what should we do, not only can we not damage the strength of our army, but also benefit the most?" ”

After listening to Li Bao's words, Song Wentong's eyes rolled, "What does the king mean that we only play the side drums and let others do the things that we contribute?" ”

Li Bao nodded and said with a smile: "That's what it means." We are here this time mainly for the Fengxiang Festival to make Zheng Yuanjun's face, we can't help but give it, but this Huang Chao soldier is so powerful, we can't destroy them for a while, so we can't make a move if we can. Does Commander Song understand what Lonely means? ”

Song Wentong nodded and said in a low voice: "I understand, don't worry, the king will not lose half of the Weizhou army this time." ”

Li Bao waved his hand and said: "Alas, what Commander Song said is too full, this soldier is a big murderer, no one can guarantee that there will be no loss, but we have to be flexible, after all, many feudal towns have come to the alliance this time, we can't be too blatantly lazy, and we also have to know how to seize the fighter." Credit for this thing is still good! ”

Speaking of which, Song Wentong didn't understand anymore, it was really mentally retarded, and with his prestige in history, this little request was not difficult for him. He winked at Li Bao and laughed, "I really understand now."

Now that it has been explained, Li Bao and Song Wentong ate some pastries together to relieve their fatigue with tea, and waited for Feng Xiang to come to greet them.

After almost half an hour, Zheng Ningji came in a hurry with a team of people. Li Bao got the report and hurriedly went to greet Zheng Ningji.

After a while, Zheng Ningji's face was a little tired, and Li Bao said with concern: "Bao looks at Zheng Ya's pale face, and his body is fine." This state affairs are complicated, and it can't be done in one or two days, so please don't work too hard, you must know that this body is the capital of loyalty to the country. ”

Zheng Ningji looked at the handsome and upright Li Bao, and then thought of Zhu Wen under Chang'an City, whom he had beaten for more than a month, and fled in embarrassment. This young prince is really incredible.

The entire Tang Dynasty was frightened by the Huang Chao Army, but this young prince was able to achieve a big victory, but he deliberately said that the big victory was a fiasco in order to hide his strength. Such a heart is really heroic, but it can also be seen in his city.

Zheng Ningji couldn't hear the slightest falsification in Li Bao's words, he knew that Li Bao really cared about him, but now this state affair is really difficult to sleep.

Fengxiang is no more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, and it can be reached in one day by fast horse, and the pressure of Huangchao's army of more than 500,000 is like a sharp sword hanging over Feng Xiang's head, how can the Zheng family father and son sleep peacefully.

In addition, Emperor Li Yi also issued a holy decree to Zheng Ji during the Xingyuan Dynasty, appointing Zheng Yi as the commander of the camp in the west of Chang'an, in charge of the suppression of Huangchao.

In the face of the pressure of Huang Chao and his loyalty to the royal family, Zheng Zheng ran around and contacted Cheng Zongchu, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, Tang Hongfu, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Qiu Gongyu and others, and several parties worked together to gather troops to encircle and suppress Huang Chao.

In addition, most of the more than 100,000 Shence troops who withdrew from Chang'an did not go to Chengdu, and the various feudal towns west of Chang'an took in a lot, among which Fengxiang took in the most, about 50,000 people.

At that time, when Li was guarding the city, he had promised that the Shence army, which was unwilling to fight to the death in the city, must escort the convoy of civilians and eunuchs before leaving Chang'an.

After these Shence troops left the city, they had no belonging, some of them chose to fall into the grass, some went to relatives and friends who knew each other, and more of them were reluctant to give up the hometown of Chang'an, so they attached themselves to Fengxiang Town, which is the closest to Chang'an.

Zheng Jinpingkong was overjoyed to get so many sergeants, and asked Zheng Ningji to help him train the gathered Shence Army, and organized the more than 50,000 people into two compartments.

Because Li Bao's breakthrough plan was too hasty, Zheng Zheng did not send the reorganized Shence Army to help Li Bao, but asked Zheng Ningji to take the town soldiers of Fengxiang Town to follow the Weizhou Army to relieve the siege.

Now that more than two months have passed, the reorganization of the gathered Shence Army has been very smooth, and Zheng Jin's courage and spirit are very full. Therefore, contact all parties and work together to suppress the puppet Qi regime.

In fact, another reason why Zheng Ji was so anxious to encircle and suppress Huang Chao was that someone had already taken the lead in clashing with Huang Chaojun before him, that is, Wang Chongrong, the queen of the river.

Hezhong Town is only more than 300 miles away from Chang'an, Huang Chao was in Luoyang when he ascended the throne, and Luoyang City was poor in materials, so Hezhong Town, which was close at hand, became the best place for Huang Chao to knock on bamboo and bamboo poles.

The river festival made Li Du see that Huang Chao was powerful, and he surrendered Huang Chao with the wind, who knew that as soon as Huang Chao ascended the throne, he came to urge the money and food soldiers every day. Li Shi, who knew that the heaviest swords and guns in troubled times, was very troubled, but he was timid and did not dare to resist, but Wang Chongrong, who was under him, was very courageous, and repeatedly provoked Li to turn against Huang Chao.

Li Du was finally moved by Wang Chongrong's words, but he didn't dare to face the fierce flames of Huangchao, so he handed over Hezhong Town to Wang Chongrong and appointed him as the queen of Hezhong, and he fled to Shuzhong with his wife and family, kneeling and licking Tian Lingzi.

Wang Chongrong was really a hero, and immediately killed the envoy sent by the puppet Qi regime, and then made it clear that the Tang Dynasty was anyway, so the angry Huang Chao appointed his brother Huang Ye to lead troops to attack Wang Chongrong.

I don't know if Wang Chongrong led the troops well, or Huang Ye was a rice bucket, anyway, the two armies were connected, and Huang Ye was defeated by Wang Chongrong and retreated to Luoyang.

Wang Chongrong's achievements are inspiring, Zheng Zheng feels that things have taken a turn for the better, in the past, Huangchao was a mobile battle, and the Quartet City was lax in armament and could not tolerate bandit attacks. Coupled with Gao Biao, the unreliable commander of the bandits, Datang was defeated again and again.

Now after Huang Chao occupies the two capitals, he is happy to occupy the two capitals and call the emperor the emperor, so that the roles of the offensive and defensive sides are completely reversed, Huang Chao has become the defending side, and the Tang army has become the attacking side.

Under such favorable circumstances, it is understandable that Zheng Zheng actively planned to encircle and suppress Li Bao. In addition, there is another reason why Li Bao came to participate in the war, that is, he knew that Zheng Zheng would win this battle.

This is the advantage of the traverser, knowing that the battle that must be won will not come to brush up the record, wouldn't it be stupid. However, the protagonist of this battle is Zheng Jin, as the prince of the clan, he should not be so high-profile, so the purpose of Li Bao leading the right army of Weizhou this time is just to see Zheng Yan's girl.

As for the war, it is better to let Song Wentong and Yang Siqi go, and it is more appropriate for children to be in love at this time.

The army entered Fengxiang Mansion with Zheng Ningji, and Li Bao instructed Song Wentong and others to settle the sergeant first, and he followed Zheng Ningji directly to the mansion to meet Zheng Jin.

When he arrived at the mansion, Zheng Jin was very happy, although this old man was very energetic, but after all, he was not forgiving in his age, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Li Bao and Zheng Zheng met the ceremony, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

Zheng Zheng was very interested, and said to Li Bao with a smile: "King Ji came this time, it is really to give face to this old man." A month ago, under the city of Chang'an, the king showed his might, and the thieves who fought fled in the wilderness, which was really happy. ”

Li Bao smiled, "Zheng Yuanjun is polite, Chang'an that time, only our limited number of people know the details, and now my identity is embarrassing, so I shouldn't be too high-profile, so Zheng Yuanjun should not praise it." ”

Zheng Zhen twisted his short beard and said with a smile: "This old man naturally understands, but this time the king came to fight, I don't know how many people and horses he brought?" ”

Li Bao listened to Zheng Jin's words, sighed slightly, and replied: "This time, I brought the strength of an army, about 3,000 people. ”

After listening to Li Bao's words, Zheng Jin's face suddenly sank, and he said to himself: "There are only three thousand people, did the king bring that flying ball this time?" ”

Li Bao continued to reply: "That flying ball is called a hot air balloon, and it needs to be released in sunny and windless weather, but now the spring rain is continuous, and the astronomy in the battle formation is not easy to control, so the hot air balloon has not been brought." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Jin's face became more and more ugly, and the trace of smile left on his face immediately disappeared. He said in a deep voice: "Then the king came to help in the battle this time, just to shout and cheer?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Bao but also Zheng Ningji heard that something was wrong.

Zheng Zheng was full of ambition and hoped that Li Baoding would support him in this battle. However, Li Bao had just defeated Zhu Wen's 50,000 army, and at this time, Weizhou and Shannan Zhang Qingping's troops had tens of thousands of generals. He only brought a mere 3,000 men, which was a bit too little.

But he remembered that Zheng Ningji had told him that Li Bao relied on the flying ball, which could cast thunder in the air, and scared the thieves into fear and collapse in the night battle, thanks to this thing. So he was full of hope that Li Bao would bring this thing to help in the war, but Li Bao didn't bring it. So he was depressed, lost his temper for a moment, and said the wrong thing.

Li Bao was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to change it, and the atmosphere was cold for a while.

Zheng Ningji hurriedly spoke: "My lord doesn't know, this time the king came and brought the most powerful palm thunder of the Weizhou army, and this thunder is extremely powerful. As long as the Weizhou army releases this thunder at that time, the thieves will be defeated. ”

Zheng Zheng came back to his senses, and only then did he remember that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately said to Li Bao: "Oh, I see, it's a certain lonely and unheard, what Fang just said is not the original intention of the king, don't mind, hehe......"

Li Bao was a little depressed for a while, and he didn't have the interest to grind his teeth with Zheng Zheng anymore, so he said: "Today's march is very tired, I want to go and rest first, Bao will leave first." ”

Zheng Ningji immediately said: "Yes, it was a certain negligence, the king has not eaten yet, the king please come with so." ”

Zheng Ningji took Li Bao out of Zheng Jin's study, leaving Zheng Zhen alone in the study in a daze, and only after a while did he mutter: "Oh, I'm really old and my energy is low." ”

At this time, a crisp voice came from outside the door: "How can grandfather be old, you are still in good spirits." ”
