Chapter 55: The Hero Who Died in Battle

Half an hour later, 70,000 Danyang elites approached Li Daozong's ambush site.

They saw the elite of the Tang Dynasty all over the mountains, without armor and no sword, ** upper body, staring at them with hideous faces, murderous, like killing gods, and they didn't know life and death.

Danyang Elite exclaimed: "Jedi Light Soldiers! The Jedi light soldiers of the Guanlong Group! Are they ready to fight to the death? ”

At this time, Li Daozong had also torn off the embroidered gold cloak, took off the helmet, took off the armor, and wore a sweaty armor cloth coat, wrapping his sturdy body. Li Daozong raised his eyebrows and looked angry, like an angry lion, and roared angrily: "The traitor and the thief are the blessings of Gongyou, can you dare to fight to the death in my Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Fu Gongyou? What's going on? ”

"Isn't this what Datang and Fu Gongyou agreed on?"

"Could it be that this is the trick of the traitor of Fu Gongyou? We've been deceived by him again? ”

The Jianghuai army was full of discussions.

A Jianghuai army general walked out, clasped his fists at Li Daozong and said: "We are all loyal to the Tang Dynasty King Wu's people, today's fourth watch, Fu Gongyou told us that if you don't want to live and die with him and defend Danyang City, you can leave." He has already agreed with Datang that as long as we leave, he and Datang will not embarrass us. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Daozong suddenly realized.

The general of the Jianghuai Army asked again: "General, what do you mean by putting on a Jedi light army?" ”

Li Daozong didn't answer, but asked, "Didn't Fu Gongyou, that traitor, go out of the city with you?" Is it still in Danyang City? ”

The general of the Jianghuai Army replied: "Probably not, he said that he would defend Danyang City to the death." ”

Li Daozong ordered the scouts around him: "Immediately inform the Metropolitan Governor of the situation here." Please ask the Metropolitan Governor to take Danyang City as soon as possible and capture the traitor Fu Gongyou. ”

"Yes." The scout turned and walked away.

Li Daozong ordered his soldiers again: "The whole army is armoured. ”

There was another commotion, and the soldiers put on their freshly taken off armor and helmets.

Li Daozong said to the generals of the Jianghuai Army: "I am the son of Li Shao, the royal family of the Li family and the king of Dongping of the Tang Dynasty. King Wu is loyal to my Tang Dynasty, you are King Wu's men and horses, and you are also my Tang Army. Now you hope to cooperate with me and help me check if the traitor is mixed with your team? ”

The general of the Jianghuai Army saluted Li Daozong and said, "Obey the orders of the little prince." ”

After that, with the cooperation of the generals of the Jianghuai Army, Li Daozong verified the 70,000 Danyang elites, and did not find the figure of Fu Gongyou.

And not long after, Li Xiaogong, who led his troops to attack Danyang Empty City, did not find Fu Gongyou.

Fu Gongyou has lost a trace.

Half a month later, Wu Kang, the disillusioned Fu Gongyou, led nearly a thousand remnants of the Jianghuai army and fled here. Wukang, near Deqing County, Zhejiang Province in later generations, is less than 100 miles away from Huiji.

The sky was slightly bright, black clouds covered the ground, the wind did not stop, and suddenly the rain poured down, soaking through the armor. Fu Gongyou and the sergeants braved the rain, and everyone was hungry and cold, miserable, unable to walk, and the horses were tired, and many fell on the side of the road.

Fu Gongyou ordered the sergeants to rest in the land temple in Wukang County, and at the same time ordered the sergeants to go to nearby villages to loot food and find fire.

The land temple is dilapidated, the grass is overgrown, the earthen walls on both sides of the temple have collapsed most of the time, the grass covers the temple gate, the eaves of the temple gate grow more than half a foot high wild grass, the whole temple, crumbling in the heavy rain, seems to collapse at any time.

Under the only pillar in the main hall of the Land Temple, Fu Gongyou, who was ragged and had long hair scattered, cried loudly: "I have only been founding the country for a month, but I didn't expect to end up in such a field today. Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven is really not in me, but in Li Tang? ”

General Xu Shaozong comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now we are no more than a hundred miles away from Huiji." Once you arrive at Huiji and have 50,000 Jianghuai elites in your hands, why can't Your Majesty make a comeback? ”

Fu Gongyou couldn't cry.

On the dry land outside the land temple, the Jianghuai army guarding the auxiliary Gongyou. is burying the pot to cook, everyone takes off their wet clothes and blows in the wind.

In the cold wind, Wu Sao, the general of the Jianghuai Army and the cavalry lieutenant who was wearing only thin pants, shivering, and purple lips, clasped his arms with his hands, curled up in front of the bonfire, and said to the other generals who guarded Fu Gongyou: "Are you still willing to go with him?" Are you still willing to suffer this sin? ”

The generals were silent.

Wu Sao said again: "Even if he escapes to Jianghuai, can he win the Tang Dynasty with only 50,000 Jianghuai troops?" Datang has an army of nearly one million. Our parents, wives and children should all be under the jurisdiction of Datang now, even if we escape to Huiji, don't our parents, wives and children want to? ”

The generals were silent.

Soon, a Jianghuai army general said to Wu Sao: "Brother Wu, you are old, and you have walked more bridges than we have walked. ”

"Yes, it's all up to you." The generals chimed in.

Wu Sao said viciously: "What should I do? Now I can only kill him, and there is only one way to surrender to Datang. ”

"Kill him?" Someone questioned.

"Yes, kill him. Only by killing him can we have a way to live, and we will no longer have to suffer these sins. Wu Sao said bewildermently.

"Okay, kill him, kill him." The generals chimed in.

Under the secret command of the generals, the soldiers all picked up their weapons and surrounded the main hall of the Land Temple.

In the main hall, Xu Shaozong discovered the abnormality and ordered two particularly loyal guards to escort Fu Gongyou out of the back door, while he sat upright in the main hall, holding a sword and staring at the palace door.

With a loud bang, the door of the palace was kicked by Wu Shao.

Xu Shaozong asked, "Wu Sao, what are you doing here?" Rebellion? ”

"What? Lao Tzu doesn't want to suffer these bird sins anymore. Where is Fu Gongyou? Hand it over, let's hand it over to Datang. Wu Sao said.

Xu Shaozong scolded angrily: "You villain, you are also a general personally promoted by His Majesty. I didn't expect you to dare to commit rebellion today, with the intention of rebellion, so daring. ”

Hearing Xu Shaozong's angry scolding, Wu Shao was not angry, but laughed and said: "Xu Shaozong, you are the confidant of the thief head Fu Gongyou, if we hand you over to Datang, it will also be a great achievement." Xu Shaozong, General Xu, use you alone to exchange the brothers for the wealth of the whole family, I don't know if you are willing? ”

After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to tie up Xu Shaozong.

Xu Shaozong looked coldly at the soldiers who surrounded him, slowly stood up, and said sadly: "I have heroes who died in battle in Jianghuai, how can there be captured generals?" With that, he committed suicide with his sword.

After Xu Shaozong committed suicide, his body still stood upright, like a King Kong, and he was majestic. Wu Sao and the others were shocked inexplicably, and they didn't dare to take a step forward.
