Chapter 1: The Wolf Smoke Rises in the Northland (Revised Version)
Chapter 1: The Northland Wolf Smokes
In the second year of Dashun of the Tang Dynasty (891 AD), this year was destined to be a more chaotic year. Last year, Tang Zhaozong had just ascended the throne, and immediately began to cut off the wings of the eunuchs, and successfully killed Yang Fugong, the chief of the eunuchs. He immediately began to cut off the largest tumor of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Zhaozong united with Zhu Wen, Li Congwei and other jiedu envoys to attack the most powerful jiedu envoys at that time, and Hedong jiedu made Li Keyong. was defeated by Li Keyong's 100,000 army. At this moment, the last vitality of the Tang Dynasty was also exhausted, and finally the order could not be released, and the power was slowly confined to Chang'an.
And Li Keyong was not punished after defeating the imperial army, but as a person who rebelled against the imperial court, Li Keyong was not punished, but restored the reduced official title, and was also crowned the king of Longxi County.
The world began to be more chaotic......
The complacent Li Keyong began to attack Yunzhou, which is now Datong City, an important town in the north. In April, Yunzhou was attacked, and in July, the general Shi Shanyou was left to guard Yunzhou, and Shi Shanyou of the imperial court was the defense envoy of Datong.
In October, Li Ke used the Chengde Festival to make Wang Rong open his bloody mouth and win 10,000 pieces, and the Chengde Festival made Wang Rong ask Li Congwei for help from Lu Longjiedu, and Li Congwei led tens of thousands of Youzhou elite soldiers to Chengde.
However, Lu Longjie made Li Congwei do the next thing that he would regret greatly in the future before he set out for the expedition. At the farewell banquet before the expedition, he saw that his younger brother Li Kuangshou's wife was beautiful and drunk, and he stained his brother and daughter-in-law.
Two years later, that is, in the second year of Tang Jingfu, Li Kuangshou took advantage of Li Congwei's outing to help Chengde. Send troops to occupy Youzhou, the capital of Lulong, and chase Li Congwei. Li Kuangshou appointed Lu Long to stay behind.
……………………………………
Li Kuangshou took advantage of Li Congwei outside, and occupied Lulong. However, Li Congwei did not forget it like this, he and Chengde Jiedu made Wang Rong defeat Li Keyong, and now he is leading an army of 50,000 to return to the division. However, it is not so much to return to the teacher, but to come back to his younger brother Li Kuangshou to settle accounts.
Li Kuangshou was not to be outdone, and concentrated all the soldiers and horses he could mobilize in Youzhou, with a total of 30,000 cavalry to meet Li Congwei. The two sides met unexpectedly in the place of Hirono.
On the fourth watch, the fog had not yet appeared, and the haze of war had already shrouded everyone's hearts, and they did not know if they would see the sun tomorrow, and maybe even the sun at noon today.
Li Cunhuan is a horse army leader on Li Kuangshou's side, and he is in charge of more than 30 cavalrymen. Now his soldiers were eating wheat porridge in a dreary state. As horse soldiers, they were much better than the infantry, and they had at least a few grains of meat in their wheat porridge.
"Brother Huan, we ...... Will we win this time? The youngest on the team, Sha Yuke, couldn't help but ask nervously. Sha Yuke is a native of Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun originally lived in Qinghai, and moved to Hedong in the Middle Tang Dynasty, and Yunzhou Thorn Shi was the chief of Tuyuhun. However, Yunzhou was occupied by Li Keyong, and Tuyuhun was also forced to move to Youzhou, which was partly collected by Li Congwei, but most of it was collected by the Khitan.
Li Cunhuan put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Where is our family?" ”
Although he didn't know why Li Cunhuan would ask such an "idiotic" question, Sha Yuke still replied: "Of course it's in Youzhou!" ”
Li Cunhuan slowly took another sip of porridge and asked again: "Then where are the soldiers opposite us, where are their families?" ”
"In Youzhou." Sha Yuke seemed to understand what Li Cunhuan meant, and hesitated a lot when he spoke.
Li Cunhuan wiped the residual porridge from the corner of his mouth and said, "Our family is in Youzhou, behind our back. Will we be able to escape? Everyone knows what kind of person Lee Converse is. We are not ordinary soldiers, we were originally the private soldiers of the general (Li Kuangshou), if Li Congwei returns to Youzhou, will we still have our family and live? ”
These words were really like an enlightenment, and all the soldiers looked at Li Cunhuan differently.
Li Cunhuan continued: "And what about our enemies? Their family is in Youzhou. With the general's cleverness, he will definitely use this to make a fuss, as long as the general treats their families well and finds dozens of civilians to pretend to be their family members and shout in front of the battle. Even if you can't make the enemy turn against you, you can make them feel unmotivated. And this trick once killed two big shots. ”
Hearing Li Cunhuan's words, the soldiers nearby were full of fighting spirit, and after a while, seeing that Li Cunhuan didn't say that the two big people were killed in the pit, someone couldn't help but ask: "Li Tou'er, what you just said about killing the two big people?" ”
Li Cunhuan grinned, stood up, and made a movement of twisting his beard and holding the big knife. "Do you know who I look like now?"
In fact, Li Cunhuan's current action is the transformation of later generations, and the real Guan Gong uses a spear, this answer has been investigated by historians, and weapons such as broadswords only appeared in the Song Dynasty. So the people below all shook their heads with wide eyes.
Li Cunhuan said with a look of contempt: "This is Guan Gong!" Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is also! The reason why Guan Gong defeated Maicheng was because his enemies used similar stratagems. ”
The soldier continued, "What about the big guys?" ”
Li Cunhuan made a look of pulling mountains and rivers, and said: "The overlord of Western Chu! Xiang Yu! ”
"Wow! That's amazing! The soldiers would have been amazed, for the country storytellers did not fail to spread his prestige to the fierce man. Now the overlord of Western Chu is much more majestic than Guan Gong.
"Li Tou'er is really amazing, you know so much, Li Tou'er, you must have been a scholar before!" A soldier looked at Li Cunhuan with admiration and said excitedly.
Li Cunhuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a pity: "Sort of!" Depending on the topic, Li Cunhuan didn't want to say more.
"Not bad!" Suddenly a man walked out of the shadows, wearing a gold-patterned helmet on his head, wearing a relief and fierce bright light armor, and a fiery red robe on his shoulders.
"See the general!" Everyone, including Li Cunhuan, immediately knelt down on one knee, touched his chest with his right arm, and saluted with a little panic.
The person who came was Li Kuangshou, who expelled his eldest brother Li Congwei, Li Kuangshou was not very old, but he was in his early thirties and in the prime of life. He looked at Li Cunhuan with an appreciative expression, "Get up!" What's your (referring to Li Cunhuan) name? ”
"Back to the general's words, the boy's surname is Li Cunhuan, a native of Youzhou." Li Cunhuan responded without being arrogant or humble.
Li Kuangshou glanced at Li Cunhuan with a little surprise, probably because Li Cunhuan is neither arrogant nor humble, which is easy to say, but in fact, how many people can do this?
Li Kuangshou found a fairly clean square stone and sat down, and said, "Sit down!" ”
"Yes!" Except for Li Cunhuan, everyone else sat down nervously, but no matter how they looked at it, they looked restless.
Li Kuangshou glanced at Li Cunhuan seriously and said, "Not bad! Pretty boy! How old is it? Where are the people? ”
When Li Cunhuan heard this, a deep sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he was nostalgic for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said: "Cunhuan is just the son of a first-class citizen, according to his parents, he is a Lingnan person. Now nineteen, eleven months to go before the crown. ”
Li Kuangshou smiled and nodded, and continued to ask, "Are your parents okay?" ”
Li Cunhuan smiled bitterly, and the sadness in his eyes was deeper, "Both parents are not there." Now I know that the son wants to raise but the relatives don't wait! ”
When Li Kuangshou heard this, he was silent for a while before he spoke again: "The plan you just said was you who came up with it yourself?" Very good! It's too wronged for you to be in the right position. ”
Li Cunhuan smiled indifferently and said: "It's just a fool's thousand thoughts, where can I be worthy of the general's praise." ”
Li Kuangshou nodded, didn't say anything more, chatted with others for a few more words and left. As soon as Li Kuangshou left, the soldiers were boiling. However, the soldiers couldn't help but talk about Li Cunhuan during the conversation, and Sha Yuke said bluntly: "I see that the general's eyes just now seem to appreciate Brother Huan!" Brother Huan will definitely be promoted and make a fortune this time! Brother Huan, you have been promoted, you have to take my brother with me! ”
In the face of these words, Li Cunhuan just smiled indifferently, and immediately focused his attention on the horizontal knife in his hand. When asked in a hurry, Li Cunhuan would say: "You have time to talk nonsense, it's better to sharpen the gun in battle, and if it's not fast, it's bright!" If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you can wait until this battle is over! ”
……………………………………
On the way back, Li Kuangshou couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect that the original intention was to encourage the military before the war, but I didn't want to meet individual talents." Changyun, what do you think of that young man just now? ”
Changyun is the number, his full name is Yang Zhongping, and he calls himself Mr. Changyun. On the surface, he is Li Kuangshou's personal guard Hu Daoya's deputy commander, but in fact, this guy who looks like a martial artist is one of Li Kuangshou's two major think tanks.
Yang Zhongping pondered for a moment and said: "This young man is neither arrogant nor humble, and he has read books, in my opinion, he should be from a big family." However, if the Lord wants to reuse him, it is better to send someone to find out his foundation. ”
Li Kuangshou pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Li Keyong has thirteen Taibao, and everyone can be independent. I am also going to accept a few Taibao to fight against Li Ke's thirteen Taibao. ”
Yang Zhongping was not surprised by Li Kuangshou's words, and received more righteous sons in the five dynasties and ten countries as a trap. Among them, the most famous is Li Keyong's Yi'er Army, which is a famous tooth army in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. And the most powerful in the Yi'er army is the Thirteen Taibao, everyone in the Thirteen Taibao is a famous general in the world, and the most famous of them is Li Cunxiao, the enemy of 10,000 people.
(The tooth army was originally a general's personal soldier, and the elite soldiers were selected to form a strong army during the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the surname was similar to the tiger and leopard cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period.) )
Yang Zhongping pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, the general can choose the brave and form the Taibao in this battle. ”
"He who knows me! Changyun also! When Li Kuangshou heard this, his eyes lit up, and he laughed.
