Chapter 289: The Great War against Xiliang (19)

After Guo Zicheng's people left, Guan Shanyue stood up, walked out of the big tent and said to Zhang Qing beside him: "Morale is available, gather the whole army and attack Xiliang again." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Command." Zhang Qing bowed down and took the order.

The officers and men of the new army were all indignant and worried that there was no place to vent their anger, and at this moment, the army made loud drums and horns, and everyone understood that this was the rallying order for the commander to go to battle.

Many officers and men of the new army quickly gathered in front of the main camp.

Looking at the energetic group of soldiers, Guan Shanyue nodded, Lin Ang, Zhang Qing, and Gu He on the left, and He Xiangning and Gao Chengyi on the right.

"Marshal, don't you stay in the army?" Finding that Guan Shanyue had gathered the whole army, Lin Ang couldn't help but ask.

Guan Shanyue shook her head: "Today, we must take Xiliang in one go, otherwise the sharp spirit of the soldiers will be discharged." ”

Again and again, again and again, Lin Ang also understood this truth, so he did not continue to say more.

However, after gathering the whole army, Guan Shanyue did not rush to send troops, as if she was waiting for something.

The officers and soldiers in the army were trained by Guan Shanyue himself, naturally the military discipline was strict, and after waiting for a long time, no one made the slightest sound, all of them looked directly at their commander Guan Shanyue, just waiting for Guan Shanyue to give an order.

After a while, one person and one rider in the army slowly walked out.

Hearing this voice, the boulder that Guan Shanyue mentioned in his heart could finally be put down.

Li Tianshan drove a horse to Guan Shanyue's side, and He Xiangning and Gao Chengyi immediately gave up a seat for Li Tianshan and asked him to be side by side with Guan Shanyue.

Seeing Li Tianshan coming to her side, Guan Shanyue smiled and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

"It's all about the court, not who helps whom." For Guan Shanyue and others, Li Tianshan still has a lukewarm attitude.

Several generals of the new army are familiar with this, and there is nothing to say, not to mention that everyone has promised to help, what else can they say? And what Li Tianshan said, no one can find fault with it.

The new army attacked Xiliang City, for the sake of the face of the imperial court, no one would be stupid enough to lead the army into Xiliang without the will of the imperial court, even if there is that, it is suicide, not killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, you can't die in Xiliang, no matter if you go back to the imperial court, you will inevitably be convicted and beheaded according to law, after all, this involves leading the army privately, whether it is the royal family or other ministers, this is the most feared thing.

If it is not dealt with strictly, someone may lead troops to attack the capital next time.

Guan Shanyue nodded with emotion, he finally understood Li Tianshan, a person who completely worked for the imperial court, although Li Tianshan had been staying in the palace, but from the information report obtained by Guo Zicheng, he learned that Li Tianshan was not a person who depended on the powerful, after he served as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he practiced the Imperial Forest Army day and night, so that the combat power of the Imperial Forest Army increased several times, in Li Tianshan's life, in addition to sleeping and eating, he practiced martial arts, and went to the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye.

Although many people think that Li Tianshan is just doing this to show courtesy to the queen mother, Guan Shanyue understands it, as if she sees a young self, a young man who is full of enthusiasm and only wants to serve the country.

However, when he was a teenager, he was much worse than Li Tianshan, whether it was martial arts or luck; At that time, I had no way to serve the country, and only my wife knew this sadness.

Turning around, Guan Shanyue looked at the soldiers of the whole army with a serious face, and shouted loudly: "Today, the Lord of the Prison Army will fight side by side with us and capture Xiliang City together, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes...... Yes...... For them, Li Tianshan's joining is undoubtedly a powerful and powerful helper, and Li Tianshan's ability is spread among the officers and men of the New Army.

Li Tianshan was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army besieged Li Tianshan with their bare hands, and none of them could hurt him in the slightest, although tens of thousands of people were somewhat exaggerated, but the officers and men of the New Army knew very well that it would be easy for Li Tianshan to eliminate thousands of people.

"Let's go." As the herald shouted.

The whole army turned back in unison and marched towards Xiliangcheng.

At this time, Guan Shanyue still didn't know what the Heavenly Hermit had done on the left and right gaps in Xiliang City.

Because there is a marksman on Xiliang City, once the scout intent to approach Xiliang City to investigate, he will be killed by an arrow, and he will be shot by an arrow thousands of miles away, which makes the new army scout and cavalry all tremble.

Therefore, the only news brought back to Guan Shanyue was that the Xiliang army repaired the city wall overnight, but it was only half as high as it was original.

The matter of the Xiliang Army repairing the gaps in the city wall is not surprising to Guan Shanyue, and he will also speed up the repair of the gaps in the city wall, so Guan Shanyue's plan is to break through from the two gaps.

Originally, Guan Shanyue was going to make four gaps yesterday, but the city-breaking armor-piercing arrows in the army had been exhausted, however, Guan Shanyue didn't think that the city wall repaired overnight would be so strong, as long as Gao Chengyi or his wife took action, it was only a matter of two or three times to break such a temporarily repaired city wall.

When the new army was getting closer and closer to Xiliang City, Guan Shanyue frowned: Why is the gap red?

But it's just a momentary doubt, whether it's red or white, and it will be destroyed later.

However, without waiting for Guan Shanyue to give the order to stop, the army in front stopped their pace and looked at the two gaps in Xiliang City in place in a stunned manner.

"What is Gao Chengyi doing?" The front army stopped, and the army behind naturally couldn't continue to advance and could only stop, Guan Shanyue was in the middle army, and found that the whole army suddenly stopped walking, and suddenly became a little unhappy.

"Dashuai, the last general will go and take a look." Lin Ang was about to ride his horse to see what was going on, but he saw Gao Chengyi rushing towards him.

"What's going on?" Seeing Gao Chengyi running quickly with an anxious face, Guan Shanyue's first thought was that something had happened to the former army.

"The big marshal is not good, the Xiliang army built a city with the corpses of our soldiers and soldiers......" When he said this, Gao Chengyi was also shocked.

"Corpse...... Corpses build a city? How is this possible? Guan Shanyue looked at the two gaps in Xiliang City again, it was indeed as red as blood, but he had never heard of such a thing as building a city with corpses, even the generals of the older generation had never heard of such a thing?

"With him, nothing is impossible." Li Tianshan could see from a distance that the gap was indeed a corpse, but he didn't tell Guan Shanyue, because Xiliang City had to be breached, and this matter had been delayed for several years, and the imperial court had spent a lot of money in the new army, and if it didn't get an ideal result, I was afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government would have objections.

Although the Empress Dowager is quite respected by the ministers in the court, the imperial party members still support the new emperor to personally take charge of the government and politics, and they are bent on inviting the empress dowager who listens to the government back to **, otherwise she will interfere in the government affairs.

Therefore, Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui, two imperialist elements, hooked up with Guan Shanyue, their ideas were very simple, but they were very vicious.

Guan Shanyue won, so they will win over Guan Shanyue to become a royalist faction to oppose the queen mother, and the confidence of having an army in their hands will naturally be much greater.

If Guan Shanyue is defeated, they can use the topic to play and urge the new emperor to govern as soon as possible.

Of course, Li Tianshan wants Guan Shanyue to win, after all, the victorious Guan Shanyue is much easier to deal with than the defeated Guan Shanyue, if Guan Shanyue is defeated, public opinion will attack the queen mother, and it can't be stopped.

If Guan Shanyue wins, plus Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui will die in the hands of Lin Shihao.

Without the slightest need for the Empress Dowager to take personal action, the two giants of the royalists could be eradicated.

Over the years, Guo Zicheng, who became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Liu Rui have continuously strengthened the strength of the imperial party elements, forming a royalist faction, no longer just an isolated and helpless imperial party element.

The Queen Mother is naturally clear about Guo Zicheng's actions, but she is helpless, after all, what they are doing is to consolidate the imperial power, and if this is used to deal with them, it will undoubtedly set themselves on fire.

Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to use Lin Shihao to suppress Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui, but Lin Shihao has always had an attitude of not caring about himself and not worrying about himself, and he didn't care about the disputes in the court at all.

This also made the Empress Dowager a little confused about what kind of mentality Lin Shihao had, that is, he did not move closer to the imperial royalists, nor did he surrender to himself, and seemed to want to maintain a neutral and bystander attitude.

Regarding the Queen Mother's doubts, Li Tianshan gave an answer: Lin Shihao is guarding the family business for Cao Zhuo and Tianyinke.

For Lin Shihao, Jinyiwei is already his home, Cao Zhuo is like this, and Tianyinke is even more so, but Tianyinke is not a housekeeper, but a person who strengthens the family business.

At the beginning, after Tianyinke became the acting commander, the national magnates and generals could only swallow their anger in the face of what they did to Jinyiwei, and did not dare to compete with it, which is enough to prove how far Tianyinke has developed Jinyiwei's strength.

Therefore, if you want to deal with Jinyiwei, you must be Jinyiwei.

Guo Zicheng's cronies, who conveyed the news to Guan Shanyue before, have already been brainwashed by Li Tianshan, otherwise with Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui's caution, they would never do anything to stimulate Lin Shihao, not to mention that Lin Shihao had already expressed his stance to the two of them, and they were not allowed to touch the people inside Jinyiwei, so that Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui clearly knew that this was Lin Shihao's bottom line.

Twenty brocade guards were beheaded and displayed to the public, and their bones were gone; For Lin Shihao, it is undoubtedly Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui who declared war on themselves, and the capital is about to surge.

Guan Shanyue hurriedly rode his horse to the front of the army, and looked carefully at the gap, it was indeed the corpse of a soldier of the self-army, and it was frozen up, no wonder he could build a city.

Frozen, you don't have to think about it to know who did the good thing.

Suddenly, Guan Shanyue was so angry that she spit out a mouthful of blood, looking at the blood on her hand, Guan Shanyue hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief, not wanting to be seen by the soldiers.

Gao Chengyi and Lin Ang looked worried: "Dashuai, take care of your body." ”

Guan Shanyue shook her head and looked at the soldiers behind her, the previous indignant and fierce morale had long disappeared without a trace.
