Chapter 153: Poet Killer Lu Qiu Xiao
Just when Li You was anxiously looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, Qiu Xiao, the assassin of Haozhou, was still singing and dancing in Haozhou City, without the slightest intention of moving. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This Luqiu assassin Shi can leave his name in the history books because of two things, one is to ignore Zhang Hao's order and not send reinforcements, which led to the destruction of Suiyang City, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and other six loyal martyrs martyrdom, and the other thing is that he just killed the great poet Wang Changling, known as the "Seven Absolute Holy Hands".
Left "but make the dragon city fly in, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain." "The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken." Wang Changling, who had many generous and tragic songs, gave up his position as captain of Longbiao last year, left from Longbiao, crossed Chenxi, passed through Wuling, and went along Jiangdong in a boat to prepare to return home.
Not long ago, this great poet who is famous all over the world came to Haozhou, perhaps he accidentally reloaded Lu Qiuxiao's taboo, or maybe Lu Qiuxiao was jealous of his reputation in the literary world, and was killed by Lu Qiuxiao's order, and a generation of poets died. But Lu Qiuxiao didn't care about this, maybe in his opinion, as a state assassin, it was really no big deal to kill a bad old man who had dismissed his official and returned to his hometown in this troubled era.
And now he didn't pay attention to Zhang Hao's order, he thought that he was from a famous family, and looked down on Zhang Hao as a prime minister from a cloth background, when he thought that Zhang Hao, who was born in a poor family, had become a Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, Henan Jiedu Envoy, Dutong Huainan and other military officials such as the imperial court, but he was still just a small thorn history, Lu Qiuxiao was extremely unhappy in his heart.
The reason why Lu Qiuxiao didn't go to rescue Suiyang was that he was arrogant and self-serving, looked down on Zhang Hao, who was born in cloth, and resisted his orders; On the other hand, this person is as timid and afraid as Helan Jinming, for fear that sending reinforcements to rescue Suiyang will anger Yin Ziqi's army and invite the rebels to retaliate; In addition, as the assassin of Haozhou, he only needs to hold Haozhou steadily, if the reinforcements sent are defeated by Yin Ziqi, then won't he get into trouble again? The imperial court will definitely not let go of the responsibility of its defeated army, so it is better to shrink in this Haozhou city.
"My lord, Lord Zhongshu ordered us to march to Suiyang, but we ignored it, doesn't it seem appropriate?" A cronie cautiously reminded Lu Qiuxiao.
"This official is the assassin of Haozhou, and Suiyang is not under the jurisdiction of this official, why do you want to rescue? If sending a large army leads to the emptiness of the city, and Haozhou falls because of this, who should the official go to for help? Lu Qiuxiao replied in an unkind tone.
"But my lord, now that Lord Zhongshu has given an order, if we don't follow the order, we will be held accountable in the future." The cronies replied profusely that it was not easy to disobey military orders and delay fighter planes.
Hearing this, Lu Qiuxiao was also stunned, but in an instant, he re-revealed his arrogant expression, "This official is responsible for guarding the land, who dares to blame this official?" What's more, that pickaxe was just a sudden luck, could it be that he could still kill the official? ”
Zhang Hao Tianbao was worshiped as a left relics in the last years of his cloth clothes, and later was sent by Li Longji to Fengxiang to assist Li Heng, and was worshiped as a counselor, and a year later he was promoted to Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, Henan Jiedu Envoy, Dutong Huainan and other military affairs, and it is also reported that he will be crowned as Yinqing Guanglu Doctor and Nanyang County Duke in the near future.
In just three or four years, he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty with a cloth cloth, and also had the title of county duke, which made Lu Qiuxiao jealous, but at the same time, he thought that Zhang Hao, who suddenly became a high-ranking official, was not worth fearing, maybe he would be dismissed for some trivial things soon, right? That's why he dared to disobey Zhang Hao's order so boldly.
At this point, the cronies didn't dare to persuade him more, and quietly retreated, while Lu Qiuxiao was still enjoying the singing and dancing, a leisurely scene, but I don't know how long he can enjoy this leisure?
Coming out of Zhenyuan, Li You led the Beiwei army to rush to the direction of Haozhou, but there was no trace of reinforcements for several days, and stopped the merchants and pedestrians who came from Haozhou for questioning, and they also said that they did not see the army coming out of Haozhou, and the city of Haozhou was also calm, and there was no scene of the army about to set off.
Damn, this Lu Qiu Xiao must be as timid as Helan Jinming and dare not send troops to help, Li You slammed his fist on the big tree on the side of the road, is there only these timid people left in Datang now? Li Jing, Li Ji, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, the bravery of these famous generals has been completely forgotten by the Tang people?
Zhenyuan couldn't draw manpower, and Ning Ling could only search for hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled, and with these people, I was afraid that even the rebel camp would not be able to rush over, so they could only be sent to death in vain, so Li Youwan rejected Li Ben's kindness; Linhuai and Haozhou will not send reinforcements, and Zhang Hao still doesn't know where he is, and there is no army that can be summoned in the tiger talisman, Li You is at a loss, can't he find reinforcements now?
Hehe, even so, so what? Zhang Xun held to the end without his own help, only three days away from ushering in a big victory, and now with his own help and this thousand back Wei army, can't he hold on for three more days? Li You quickly adjusted his mentality, okay, even if there are no reinforcements, he will defend Suiyang City to the death.
Guo Ziyi's recovery of Chang'an and Zhang Hao's army came to help, which are all exciting good news; As for Lu Qiuxiao sitting idly by, these don't seem to be any accidents, after experiencing the incident of Helan Jinming and others, Zhang Xun must have expected it, right?
After figuring it out, Li You returned to Zhenyuan again, and asked Li Ben to report to Zhang Hao about the sluggish troops of Luqiu Xiaodun and the recent battle situation in Suiyang City, while he returned to Suiyang with the remaining forty or so Beiwei troops.
"General Nan, don't worry, although Li has no reinforcements in hand, he can still do these small things by sending someone to deliver a letter." Li Ben patted his chest and promised, "Li will send the fastest horse and the most powerful messenger in the army to rush to Lord Zhongshu day and night, and be sure to deliver the news as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you General Li for that." Li You hugged his fists and saluted in thanks, "If you can or come out of Suiyang City in the future, it will be better to come to General Li and drink bitterly." ”
"Okay, Li is waiting here." Li Benhu had tears in his eyes, and watched the figure of Li You and his party slowly disappear on the horizon, I don't know how many of these people can survive until Zhang Hao's reinforcements arrive? (To be continued.) )
