readx; Li Yunshu never dreamed that Li Fangzheng would come, he seemed to realize something, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to lead him to his inner tent.

"What are you doing in such a mess?"

As soon as they met, Li Yunshu scolded him, he was both heartbroken and annoyed by the reckless behavior of this nephew, who was actually his own son. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Fangzheng knelt down, "Father, please listen to the child." ”

Although Li Fangzheng has been adopted, he still calls Li Yunshu his father, "Father, the child is not reckless, the child is here for a big event." ”

"Wait!"

Li Yunshu walked to the door of the tent, looked out, and instructed his soldiers: "I have family affairs, no one is seen!" ”

He pulled down the curtain, then walked back to the inner tent and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Father, the child is now a captain of the Northern Tang Military Academy."

"You..... When did you join the army? How I don't know. ”

"The boy joined the army last year and was stationed in Hanzhong, and now he is a captain."

Li Yunshu knows that the difficulty of the promotion of the Anxi Army depends on military skills, and the army generally has a low military rank, like Zhao Chongyu and others, who have been promoted to generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but when they returned to the Northern Tang Dynasty, they are still just a lieutenant general, and their son has only been in the army for more than a year, so he wants to be promoted to captain, dream! Unless it's .....

Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry, sat down, looked at his son and said, "You tell me the truth, what the hell is going on, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Fangzheng had been trained by the Intelligence Hall before he came, and he knew that if he spoke too quickly, he would arouse his father's disgust, so he had to come step by step.

"Father, I have indeed joined the army, originally stationed in Tongguan, not long ago, our army was transferred to Hanzhong, I also followed, now Hanzhong has 200,000 troops gathered, Li Guangbi was appointed as the marshal of Zhengnan."

"Two hundred thousand troops!"

Li Yunshu was taken aback, he knew that the general garrison in Hanzhong was 50,000, and it suddenly increased to 200,000 troops, needless to say, Li Qingan was really going to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Recently, there has been a lot of gossip, basically the Northern Tang Dynasty is going to attack Xiangyang, and now it seems that it is a full-scale attack on the Northern Tang Dynasty, and the situation is not good! His heart began to beat a drum.

"San Lang, what are you doing here with me?"

"Father doesn't know yet! General Zhao Chongxuan had already led tens of thousands of troops to the Huangbai River Valley, and he was already very close to his father. ”

"What!"

Li Yunshu jumped up in shock, his eyes widened, "What did you say?" Zhao Chongjun has already arrived. ”

"Exactly! The child came with the army. ”

Li Yunshu was a little flustered, he flipped out the map, pointed to the Huangbai River Valley and asked, "Tell me quickly, where is Zhao Chongxuan's army?" ”

Li Fangzheng shook his head, "The child is the scout of the Northern Tang Army, does my father think I will say it?" ”

"You ....."

Li Yunshu sat down weakly, he looked at the youngest son blankly, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "You tell the truth, are you here to persuade me to surrender?" ”

"I just want to ask my father one thing, is my father a Tang Army now, or a rebel?"

Li Yunshu was shocked, he understood what his son meant, Chang'an is the Tang Army, Chengdu is also the Tang Army, there is no surrender, it just depends on which court you support, emotionally speaking, Li Yunshu is from Chang'an, of course he supports Chang'an, but Li Heng also treats him well.

Li Yunshu has always believed that his seizure of power and demotion has nothing to do with Li Heng, it is Yu Chaoen's unauthorized act, this is a kind of subconscious of him, and it is also a kind of self-paralysis, the dignified Yiling Lord will be demoted, can Li Hengan not know? The arrogant baby fish also pointed at his nose and scolded: "Do you know why you are unlucky? Because you are the person promoted by Gao Xianzhi. ”

Maybe this is the root cause, Li Yunshu also knows it, but he doesn't want to face it and don't want to admit it.

Li Yunshu already understood the purpose of his son's coming, that is, that is, he wanted him to surrender, and he also knew that although the Southern Tang Dynasty had many troops, it was actually vulnerable, and there were eunuchs like Yu Chaoen in charge of the army, and the only famous general Gao Xianzhi was also forced away because of the emperor's suspicion, how could they compete with the Northern Tang army with famous generals like clouds.

Now that the Northern Tang Dynasty is preparing to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty on a large scale, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is gone, what else does he have to remember?

It's not impossible to surrender, but to whom? Zhao Chongjun has a good relationship with him, but it is a bit ..... to ask him to surrender to Zhao Chongyu

Unless he's cornered.

Li Yunshu's mood is understandable, this is the same as changing jobs in later generations, although the new company looks good, but the top boss is his old colleague, which is a bit difficult to get over in terms of face.

At this time, Li Fangzheng took out a letter and solemnly handed it to his father, Li Yunshu took the letter and glanced at it, he suddenly stood up, only to see the envelope written: Admiral Tiance, Anxi Jiedu envoy Li Qing'an to Yiling General Li Yunshu.

His hand trembled a little, this is Li Qingan's handwritten letter to him! He opened the envelope with trembling hands, pulled out the letter inside, and carefully read it, and then looked at it again, for fear of missing a word.

Li Qing'an gave him a long sigh of relief from the reward and treatment, and at the end of the letter, Li Qing'an promised to transfer his family in Shuzhou away, so what else could he worry about?

He raised the letter paper and asked his son a little proudly: "Has Zhao Chongxuan read this letter?" ”

"The letter was sent directly to the child by King Zhao, and General Zhao knew that the child had this letter on him, but he didn't show it to him."

"Hmmm! He hadn't seen the best. ”

Li Yunshu's heart was put down, his mood immediately became lighter, and he said with a smile: "How does Zhao Chongxuan want me to help him, did he say it?" ”

Li Fangzheng saw that his father finally agreed, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Yes!" General Zhao dictated, I firmly remembered, General Zhao said, no matter what, to lure the baby fish out of the city. ”

"Lead out of the city!" Li Yunshu frowned slightly, how can this be introduced? You have to catch the weak points of the baby fish.

．．．．．．．．．

Yiling is a county, and it is also the seat of Xiazhou, but the county seat of Yiling is not large, there are only tens of thousands of people in the county, plus the population of the surrounding villages, the population of the entire Yiling County is less than 100,000.

But there are a lot of garrisons in Yiling, there are 20,000 troops, and Yu Chaoen ordered his righteous son Yu Baobao to be the chief general of Yiling, commanding the Yiling army.

Of the 20,000 troops, except for the 5,000 troops stationed in Xiajiao Town, the remaining 15,000 people were all stationed in Yiling County.

Originally, the county town has been very calm, but these days suddenly became chaotic, tens of thousands of refugees poured into Yiling, helping the old and the young, making Yiling County chaotic, and most of these refugees are military families, Yu Baobao did not dare to drive away too fiercely, his father-in-law also wrote a warrant, give them food, let them return to Shu as soon as possible.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, these refugees arrived in Yiling, as if they had entered Shu, the belief in supporting them to flee disappeared, and they relaxed all of a sudden, many people were sick, and nearly half of them were afraid that the road to Shu was difficult, and they didn't want to go west, so they had to stay in Yiling.

What annoyed him even more was that these immigrants went around preaching about how powerful the Northern Tang Army was, and all of them were the main force of the Anxi Army, and the Southern Tang Army was bound to be wiped out, and persuaded his soldiers to flee for their lives quickly, which made the army panic and morale seriously depressed.

In the afternoon, a piece of news came that a battalion defending the north city gate, a total of 500 soldiers, fled en masse under the leadership of the captain, and he realized that it was a big mistake to let these refugees into the city.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang on the ground, and the teacup on the table was slapped by him and jumped, and he ordered angrily: "Order the three armies, if anyone dares to incite the army's morale again, it will be killed!" ”

The baby fish could no longer sit still, so he immediately turned on his horse and went around the city with a knife, and if he met someone who shook the morale of the army, he would kill him himself.

Yiling was originally small, and nearly 20,000 refugees poured in at once, making the county town dirty and smelly, chaotic, almost all the empty houses were full, and there were many people who had nowhere to live, so they built sheds on the street at will, encroached on the streets, and made the originally empty main streets become narrow and crowded, sewage flowed sideways, and the smell was stinking.

Although Yu Baobao is not a eunuch, he has also been pampered since he was a child, and the dirty environment makes him unbearable, covering his mouth and nose, passing through the shantytown, until he walks to the open field, and when the air is fresher, he hates to the deputy general Jiao Degui and says: "I really can't stand it, how can the old man let these Diao people escape back, what should I do here?" ”

Jiao Degui is the deputy general arranged by Yu Chaoen to assist Yu Baobao, although he has no ability, but after all, he was born as a soldier and can lead a little army, but he didn't expect that although Yu Baobao is young, he has a lot of power, and he controls all the military power, making him Jiao Degui an ornament.

Jiao Degui smiled bitterly, "Young marshal, this is not bad, more than 30,000 people came, and in the end only more than 10,000 remained, I think it is difficult to go to the prison town, so many refugees ran to ask for food, how could Li Yunshu deal with it." ”

"If he can't handle it, get out!"

At the mention of Li Yunshu, Yu Baobao looked disdainful, "To be honest, let him guard the grain, I'm not at ease!" ”

"After all, he is the chief general of Yiling appointed by the Holy Lord, and it is not good to squeeze him out, it is better to ask the old man to ask the Holy Lord to transfer him away."

"You have a point!" The baby fish pouted and said, "Tomorrow I will write a letter to the old man and ask him to tell the saint about it, so that I don't worry about that person all day long." ”

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over, "General Yu! General Fish! ”

"Did you run so fast to reincarnate?"

Baby Fish scolded him, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier ran forward and panted and said, "There is smoke rising in the direction of the lower prison town, for some reason!" ”

"Ahh

The baby fish was taken aback, he urged the horse to run towards the Xicheng Tower, and Jiao Degui followed.

The two turned over and dismounted under the west city, and ran up to the city in one breath, the city was already crowded with many soldiers, all of them were looking at the west, the baby fish rushed to the battlements, and the hand curtain looked to the west, and sure enough, they saw the smoke billowing in the direction of the prison town, they were fifty miles apart, and the smoke could be seen for fifty miles, and you can imagine what kind of fire occurred.

"What the hell is going on!"

Yu Baobao was so anxious that he scolded, "Hasn't Li Yunshu's stupid pig sent a letter yet?" ”

There was silence on the west city wall, most of the soldiers were Li Yunshu's old subordinates, and Yu Baobao insulted General Li in public like this, which really made them dissatisfied.

Jiao Degui found out about the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, and he hurriedly said: "Xiajiao Town is a heavy land of grain and grass, if there is any accident, General Li may not be able to afford to bear the crime, and Young Marshal Yu is worried about him!" ”

At that moment, a soldier pointed to the sky and shouted: "Look, the carrier pigeon is coming!" ”

Sure enough, I saw two carrier pigeons flying from the west, this was the news sent by Li Yunshu, and the baby fish said urgently: "Quick!" Write it to me. ”

The carrier pigeon entered the city, and after a while, a soldier rushed up and gave the pigeon letter to the baby fish, who impatiently opened the letter and looked at it, and suddenly scolded again, "This bastard, this little thing can't be settled?" ”

"Young Marshal, what's wrong?" Jiao Degui stepped forward and asked.

"There are refugees grabbing food, which leads to a mutiny among some soldiers, and the soldiers also participate in the food grabbing, Li Yunshu can't control the situation anymore, so he asks me for help!"

"Young marshal, the prison town is a heavy land of grain and grass, and there can't be a little mistake!"

"I know, I can't do anything about that idiot, why don't you bring five thousand brothers to help!"

"Young marshal, we don't know the number of refugees and how many soldiers mutinied, if there are too many people, I'm afraid five thousand people can't suppress it!"

"Damn, you can't let me go!"

At this time, Jiao Degui's eyes rolled, he suddenly pulled the baby fish aside, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Young marshal, haven't we been worrying about not having a chance?" Isn't this a godsend opportunity to kill Li Yunshu? ”

The baby fish understood, and he struck with a fist, yes! How did he not think of it.

"Good! I personally went to suppress it and cleaned him up by the way! "The baby's face turned hideous.

Half an hour later, Yu Baobao led 10,000 troops to leave Yiling City and drive towards Xiadungeon, which was already dusk, and according to the distance and time, they would arrive at Xiadunge Town at dawn tomorrow.

．．．．．．．．．．

The mouth of the Huangbai River valley is located in the middle of Yiling County and Xiajiao Town, and the Huangbai water rushes out of the canyon, joins another tributary, and winds for more than ten miles in a relatively flat hill, and finally flows into the Yangtze River.

Therefore, from Yiling to Xiajiao Town, it is necessary to cross the Huangbai Water, and there is no need to ferry the Huangbai Water, and there is a wooden bridge that can be passed directly.

The wooden bridge is located in the middle of the gentle hills, this area is densely forested and sparsely populated, and a narrow official road passes through the dense forest, because it is sparsely populated, and wild animals often set off, so the merchants must travel in groups.

At the end of the watch, Yu Bao led 10,000 troops to finally arrive at the wooden bridge and began to cross the bridge, and groups of soldiers quickly walked across the bridge to the opposite bank.

The baby fish was in the middle of the line, he looked around with some trepidation, the weather was not bad, the sky was full of stars, there was no moon, the night was clear, but all around was tall and dark trees, dense as far as the eye could see, the night was terriblely quiet, there was no insect chirping, no wild beasts howling, and he didn't know what was hidden in the black hole forest, which made him tremble for a while.

"Tell the soldiers to speed up!"

The baby fish jumped onto the wooden bridge and ran to the opposite bank.

The bridge was crowded with soldiers, all of them were soldiers, the baby fish had already passed, and there were more than 4,000 soldiers behind them, crowded on the narrow official road, and the forests on both sides were only dozens of steps away from them.

At this moment, only a bang sounded, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired in the forest on the east bank, shooting intensively at the unsuspecting Southern Tang army.

Screams suddenly broke out on the official road, and there was a great chaos, and thousands of people were shot down in an instant, and at the same time, the Southern Tang Army on the west bank was also ambushed, and the arrows rained down, and a large number of soldiers were shot down.

All the soldiers were stunned, and even forgot to escape, it has been several years, they have no sense of war at all, and they did not expect that the Northern Tang Army would fight here, so that when the war suddenly happened, they were at a loss, and when they reacted, they were so frightened that they were scattered, and they pushed me on the narrow official road, and it was chaotic.

The baby fish also reacted, he was ambushed, and he was so anxious that he yelled: "Go back!" Go back! ”

But he forgot that there was a bridge behind them, and the bridge was crowded with troops in a dilemma, and they had no way to retreat.

"Kill!"

The Northern Tang Army ambushed in the forest came out, a total of six thousand elites, led by Lin Haixiong, the Mo Dao general, they had been in ambush for two whole hours, and they had already held their breath.

Lin Haixiong yelled: "Brothers, the time has come to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”

At this moment, they were like a rainbow, like a tiger out of the forest, killing the Southern Tang Army into a river of blood, and the corpses were piled up all over the path, the Southern Tang Army was already frightened and heartbroken, and had no intention of resisting, they lost their armor and fled for their lives, and those who ran slowly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Escorted by more than a dozen personal soldiers, Yu Baobao urged the horse to gallop and fled westward, but he had just run a few dozen steps when he was blocked by Lin Haixiong.

Lin Haixiong in the battle of attacking Nanzheng City, led three hundred Mo knife army to attack the head of the city, made a great contribution, was promoted to Lang general, he is a foot tall, in the night like a black tower, in front of the fish baby's galloping horse standing still, he crossed his waist with one hand, and held the Mo knife in the other hand, like a god descending, shocked the fish baby a war horse, to the side.

Lin Haixiong looked up to the sky and laughed, he roared wildly, "Little thief, take your life!" ”

This sound was like thunder falling from the sky, scared the baby fish's heart to burst, he trembled, almost fell off the horse, Lin Haixiong stepped forward, his hand raised the knife and fell, only to hear a scream, the baby fish was split in half with people and horses.

The main general was dead, and the Southern Tang Army was defeated on all fronts, and Lin Haixiong shouted again: "Listen to the Southern Tang Army, those who surrender will not die!" ”

"Those who surrender are not to die!"

The Northern Tang army shouted one after another, there was no suspense in the war, the Southern Tang army knelt down and surrendered, and many Southern Tang soldiers who had run into the forest to hide were also afraid of the forest and came out of the forest to surrender.

In just half an hour, the battle was over, with more than 3,000 of the 10,000 Southern Tang troops killed and wounded, and the rest all surrendered, with less than 100 escapers, and only more than 200 killed and wounded in the Northern Tang.

Lin Haixiong ordered his generals to clean up the battlefield, and he led 2,000 men to Yiling City, wanting to make another contribution before the end of the battle of Yiling City.

．．．．．．．．

At the same moment when the fish baby was ambushed, an army came down from Yiling City, which surprised the Yiling defenders, and the person who came turned out to be Li Yunshu, who seemed to be injured and embarrassed, and there were less than a thousand soldiers under him.

When Jiao Degui got the news, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly ran to the city, and under the firelight, he recognized it as Li Yunshu.

"General Li, what's going on?"

Li Yunshu said angrily: "The Yu army envoy let the refugees flee westward, not only robbing the food, but also inciting the soldiers to rebel, as a result, most of the soldiers mutinied, I suppressed it enough, so I had to escape, General Jiao, I sent a letter in the afternoon to ask for help, why don't you come to reinforcements?" ”

Jiao Degui was stunned, he was surprised: "Young Marshal Yu has already led the army to reinforce you, haven't you encountered it?" ”

"Nope!"

Li Yunshu was also very surprised, "When did the young marshal set off?" ”

"In the evening, I received your letter for help and left, maybe you went off the road."

There are a few roads from Huangbai Bridge to Yiling City, it is likely that they have forked in the road, Jiao Degui did not have the slightest doubt, he saw that most of Li Yunshu's men were injured, and the number was less than a thousand, so he said: "General Li is in the city!" Bandage the brethren. ”

"Thank you General Jiao, I'll bandage the wound a little, and then rush back to Xiajiao Town, I'm worried about food security."

Jiao Degui snorted and said in his heart: "You should worry about your safety first!" ”

He commanded left and right, "Open the city!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, Li Yunshu led the army in, Jiao Degui greeted him, he saw Li Yunshu covered in blood, and a few arrows were inserted in his back, and he couldn't help but be startled, "General Li, you are not lightly injured!" ”

Li Yunshu sneered and waved his hand, "Take it!" ”

The soldiers behind him rushed up and pushed Jiao Degui to the ground, Jiao Degui was shocked, and shouted with his neck straight: "Li Yunshu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Dozens of personal soldiers behind him wanted to rush to the rescue, but they were surrounded by Li Yunshu's soldiers, and the other soldiers were very frightened, and no one dared to step forward without knowing what was happening.

Li Yunshu shouted loudly: "Brothers, Yu Chaoen colluded with the prince to launch a palace coup, the prince has failed and been executed, I am crazy and the saint has a secret decree to arrest the baby fish, it has nothing to do with everyone, Jiao Degui participated in the rebellion, and the nine clans should be destroyed!" ”

Jiao Degui scolded, "You are talking nonsense! ”

Li Yunshu made a look, a soldier raised a knife in his hand, chopped off Jiao Degui's head, poor Jiao Degui didn't know what was happening, so he died in a daze, and his own soldiers saw that the main general was dead, and they knelt down and surrendered.

Li Yunshu raised the head of Jiao Degui and shouted again: "The whole army obeys my order and immediately returns to the camp, and those who refuse to return to the camp will be punished for participating in the rebellion!" ”

These troops were originally Li Yunshu's old troops, they trusted Li Yunshu very much, and they were all overjoyed to see the general's return, coupled with the rebellion involving the Zhujiu clan, none of the soldiers dared to stay, and they rushed back to the barracks, and in a moment, there was no soldier inside and outside the city gate.

Li Yunshu saw that the effect was very good, so he smiled proudly and instructed his son behind him: "It's okay!" ”

Li Fangzheng stretched out his bow and arrows, "Whoosh! "With a bang, a gunpowder arrow flew into the night sky, and 'popped!' The ground exploded, the firelight splashed everywhere, and it was particularly bright in the night sky, Li Yunshu looked up, it was the first time he saw the gunpowder arrow, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart, he had heard for a long time that the Anxi army was thunderous, could an arrow be so powerful?

Soon, Zhao Chongxuan, who was ambushed several miles away, led an army of 12,000 to Yiling City, and the army marched into the city. ”

The two had a good personal relationship, and Li Yunshu also returned the salute with a smile: "If there is no arrival of Brother Zhao's army, how can I have credit?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and they both laughed together, Zhao Chongyu had another thing to worry about, and he asked again: "I don't know how the defenders over there are in Zigui?" ”

Li Yunshu smiled slightly, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, there are only 1,000 defenders in Zigui City, and the guard general Luo Qun is my confidant and favorite general, who has followed me for many years, early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the army to take Zigui for the general, how about it?" ”

Zhao Chongxuan clasped his fists and praised: "To pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty, the first credit is in the general!" ”
