By the time Li Bao hurriedly rushed from Fuqicheng to Weizhou, the time had already reached the end of October of the first year of Zhonghe, and the chaos in Fengxiang Mansion had spread all over the Shuzhong Imperial Court and the surrounding festival towns.

While paying attention to the war situation in the Central Plains, people still did not forget to ridicule Zheng Jin's sour and rotten literati, and he was expelled by his military generals as a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. This really makes people laugh off their big teeth, no matter how high the status of the literati is, they can't control the generals, and it has become the consensus of the Tang people for a while.

Li Bao saw Zheng Zheng for the first time, the old man's complexion was not very good, and he looked dejected, which showed that this blow made him very hurt. From his mouth, Li Bao knew the inside story of the mutiny in Fengxiang Town.

Zheng Zheng led the Yellow Alliance to fight with the help of Li Bao's Weizhou Army, and Zheng Zheng won the admiration and praise of the Shuzhong Imperial Court and the towns of the world, but the second Huang Dynasty, without the participation of the Weizhou Army, coupled with the mistakes of the pig teammates, led to the failure of the second crusade, and Zheng Jin's prestige was greatly lost for a while.

In addition, the Shuzhong court had no financial support, and the rewards for the soldiers of the Yellow River had not been fulfilled, so the soldiers in Fengxiang Town had many complaints, so Sima Li Changyan, the marching army in Fengxiang Town, instigated the soldiers to launch a mutiny.

Because Zheng Jin's prestige was too high, Li Changyan didn't dare to do anything to Zheng Jin, but just asked him to quit Fengxiang, so Zheng Zhen took the family out of Fengxiang, and he went to Shuzhong alone, while his son Zheng Ningji's family returned directly to his hometown in Hedong.

Li Bao met with him, and after confirming that the Zheng family was safe, Li Bao had no worries, he comforted Zheng Jin, and promised Zheng Zheng that he would find this field for the Zheng family.

In addition, the Fengxiang Mansion launched a chaotic Jiedu envoy, and Sima Li Changyan also set a worse example for the generals in the surrounding Jiezhen.

However, Li Bao didn't care about the ghosts of those generals, he couldn't tolerate betrayal, so he immediately ordered Song Wentong to lead the Weizhou army to attack Li Changyan and Li Changfu brothers who had occupied Fengxiang.

Song Wentong, who received the military order, was in good spirits, and he and his subordinates were already idle and panicked. Since the king had ordered that there was anything else to say, Song Wentong led the expanded right army of Weizhou to go straight to Fengxiang Mansion.

Today's Song Wentong is already a veritable commander of the Right Army, and the men he led are not the original 2,800 people when he first formed the army. Since Li Bao captured Shang Rang's remnants of 30,000 troops in Qingshui Town, plus the men brought by Wang Bo, the Weizhou army has now expanded to 12,000 people.

In other words, Song Wentong already has 6,000 troops under his command, and these 6,000 troops are all elite, and they are selected and organized by the Weizhou army, and they are by no means like the Shence army in Chang'an City. In addition, in order to take Fengxiang as soon as possible, Li Bao ordered Qian De'an of the Weizhou Left Army to lead 2,000 people to help in the battle.

The team of 8,000 people marched to the outside of Fengxiang City when it was still in the middle of the sky, but the panic and despair of the soldiers and horses of Fengxiang Town when they saw the arrival of the Weizhou army were not pretended.

As the Fengxiang Army that knows the combat strength of the Weizhou Army best, they know the strength of the Weizhou Army best, and they also know how terrifying the weapons in the Weizhou Army are.

So after the new Fengxiang Jie stayed, Li Changyan immediately sent people to the Weizhou army to sue for peace, and they frankly said that the mutiny was not what their brothers wanted, and it was really their subordinates who were dissatisfied with Zheng's actions and forced their brothers to do it. In addition, they also begged Song Wentong for mercy and promised to be willing to submit to the king of Ji as cattle and horses.

Song Wentong didn't pay any attention to the Li brothers' delays, and bluntly said that the military order he received was either the Li brothers to surrender unconditionally, or they broke through the city and took the heads of the Li brothers to hand over to King Ji.

When the Li brothers saw that this auspicious king was so fierce, they didn't pretend to be grandsons, and ordered their subordinates to prepare knives and guns and start fighting!

Song Wentong was also not ambiguous, and immediately set up a carriage and horses under Fengxiang City, waiting for the Li brothers to open the city, the Li brothers were very afraid of the power of the Weizhou army, but if they did not go out to meet the battle at this time, they would only lose their prestige and reputation, so they had no choice but to take their most trusted pro-army to fight.

Song Wentong only went to the battle this time to fight a quick battle, and to take Fengxiang as soon as possible can firstly avenge Zheng Zheng and save face, and secondly, it can deter the surrounding Jiezhen. Therefore, Song Wentong didn't say a word, and in the face of Li Changyan's pro-army who was charging, he let go of the cannon and bombarded it indiscriminately, and Li Changyan's pro-army who beat him lost his armor and fled, and then the Fengxiang army shrank into the city and refused to fight.

Fengxiang City is the closest feudal town to Chang'an, facing Chang'an, which is close at hand, Zheng Jin, who is the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, began to repair Fengxiang Town at the beginning of his tenure.

In addition, at the beginning of the establishment of Fengxiang Town, Weizhou paid 300,000 yuan of rent to Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy every year, most of which was used by Zheng Zhen for the renovation of Fengxiang City.

Seeing that the Fengxiang army was strictly guarding the city gate, and no matter how the Weizhou army scolded, he was helpless in the face of the strong city of Song Wentong. In desperation, he had to let people attack with cannons and crossbows/arrows downstairs in Fengxiang City to deter the Fengxiang army.

In the evening, the commander of the right army in Weizhou, Song Wentong and the deputy commander Wang Bo, were worried, and the military order asked them to take Fengxiang as soon as possible, so they were most afraid that the defenders of Fengxiang would not be able to retreat and avoid the battle and wait for reinforcements.

Now that they have encountered this situation, if they can't take Fengxiang as soon as possible, not only will they not be able to report to King Ji as soon as possible, but the longer they drag, the more incompetent they will be.

So after dinner, Song Wentong convened all the senior generals to discuss the method of breaking the city, and saw that the generals were all worried, but Qian De'an, who was ordered to come to help the war, seemed to be confident, he smiled mysteriously, took out a bag and handed it to Song Wentong, Song Wentong took the bag and read it, he was suspicious, and looked at Qian De'an, "Can you do this?" ”

Qian Dean laughed and said, "Commander Song, you can't trust a certain family, but your Highness?" ”

Song Wentong's eyes widened, "This is the king's strategy?" ”

"Otherwise, where did you get the tips?"

Qian De'an's words reassured Song Wentong, he doubled his confidence, and then immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare. However, Wang Bo was still a little skeptical that this strategy would work. But he is a deputy general, Song Wentong is the main general, and Song Wentong has already made a decision, and he is not good at what to say.

In the next three days, the Weizhou army launched an all-round attack on Fengxiang City as if it was crazy, and the artillery in the Weizhou army could not stop for a while, as well as crossbows/arrows and catapults, and the Fengxiang City was in a mess.

The terrifying momentum of this artillery also added a lot of psychological pressure to the Fengxiang guards, Li Changyan and Li Changfu's brothers were also frightened for a while, this Ji Wang was too rigid, Zheng Zheng was no longer allied with Weizhou, why was he still so unrelenting. And he has already bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he still refuses to stop, which is too deceitful.

However, the strong strength of the Weizhou army cannot be dismissed with a few complaints, and the messengers sent by the Li brothers to the surrounding towns to ask for help have not yet replied, but looking at the momentum of Weizhou now, it is estimated that these messengers will not bring any good results.

However, the artillery outside the city was rumbling, and the people who beat them were restless, and the Li brothers looked at the Weizhou army waiting outside the city, and the worry in their hearts became even greater.

On the fourth day, the Weizhou army finally stopped bombarding artillery, and even catapults and other tools were stopped. This made the Fengxiang army very uncomfortable, and thought that these Weizhou troops were about to withdraw, but on the fourth day (8:00), the Fengxiang army heard the "boom" and the earth shook before they had time to eat breakfast that day.

When many people in Fengxiang City thought it was an earthquake, people heard the Weizhou army outside the city let out a shocking roar: "The city is broken, Fengxiang City is broken!" ”

The defenders in Fengxiang City saw from the smoke that a section of the city wall in the southeast corner of Fengxiang City had collapsed, and there was only a thick smoke between Fengxiang City and the Weizhou army outside. So the frightened Fengxiang army couldn't stand it anymore, and they resigned themselves to thinking that the mysterious Weizhou army surrendered.

The Li brothers woke up from their hangover after hearing the "boom" sound, and then they saw the hideous-looking soldiers raising their knives and guns at them, just as they had when they persecuted Zheng Jin.

So the right army of Weizhou led by Song Wentong broke through Fengxiang Town, a fortified city, on the 4th, and the news spread, and the surrounding feudal towns suffered heavy losses, and they all honestly did not dare to make irresponsible remarks about Fengxiang Town and Weizhou.

In addition, the surrounding feudal towns have sent secret agents to find out the weapons used by the Weizhou army under Fengxiang City, such as artillery and the mysterious city-breaking weapon.

Song Wentong assigned his deputy Wang Bo to guard the imperial Fengxiang, and he himself rushed to Weizhou with the two brothers Li Changyan and Li Changfu, and His Royal Highness King Ji ordered that he and the two should be taken to Weizhou to be executed in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Bao did this for two reasons, one is to be angry with Zheng Jin, and the other is to shock people's hearts. The corruption of the people's hearts in the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty has spread, and the military and people of Weizhou must not be allowed to have different intentions, he wants to kill chickens and monkeys, so he must cut off the heads of these two brothers.

On October 21, the first year of Zhonghe, the sky was clear, Li Bao and Zheng Zheng sat on the high platform, looking at the two prisoners kneeling in the east center of Weizhou, they were naturally the brothers of Li Changyan and Li Changfu who were brought back by Song Wentong.

Li Changyan and Li Changfu also made a trend in the history of the late Tang Dynasty for a short time in the original history, and their brothers laid the foundation for Li Maozhen and Qin Qi to divide the regime, and Li Changfu almost had the opportunity to change the dynasty.

However, they were unlucky and met Li Bao, so they could only be watched and beheaded in the East Market.

Li Bao looked up at the sky, and then said to Zheng Zheng beside him: "Zheng Situ, you can say a few words, and after speaking, you will cut down these two murderers who committed rebellion." ”

Zheng Zheng looked at Li Bao with a sincere face, he was full of emotion in his heart, in the past, he abandoned Weizhou as an ally, but now he ended up like this, and he had to rely on Weizhou to save face for himself. At this moment, he really had nothing to say.

So Zheng Ji waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about so-and-so, let's talk about it." ”

Li Bao whispered "um", and then got up and said to the people in the audience: "Today's assembly is to deal with two shameless people who committed rebellion, my Datang is the most benevolent, these two people do not want to repay Zheng Situ's trust, but support the army to make a rebellion, this kind of chaos and thieves are punished by everyone, and people will be executed!" ”

With Li Bao's order, the Li brothers rushed to Huangquan without any excuse. However, the scene of this execution left a shocking mark in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Weizhou, and then triggered the thinking of the soldiers and civilians of Weizhou about loyalty.

After the execution was completed, Li Bao returned to the military palace to convene a military meeting again, this time his eyes were on the territory of Datang.
