Chapter 33 The Conquest of the Central Plains

In the face of more and more gods of war, Li Maozhen shouted in a low voice:

"Go and join the army first, and this king will be broken."

Li Xingyun shook his head.

"If you can't run away, it's better to fight hard, and there is still a chance of life."

Zhang Zifan also nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes, these monsters are too fast, we can escape for a while, but we definitely can't escape from southern Xinjiang."

After finishing speaking, a trace of electric arc emanated from his body, which was a manifestation of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique to the extreme.

Li Maozhen's eyes sank slightly, but she also nodded silently, and pulled out the horse lance hanging on the mount next to her.

"Heh... Scold... Capture them. ”

Capture them, not kill them, judging from this statement, Chi Li still has scruples.

In the face of the dense rush of soldiers, everyone drew their weapons and rushed forward instead of retreating.

The performance of Li Maozhen, Hou Qing and other masters is certainly eye-catching, and ordinary soldiers and gods can't block their blows, but the most eye-catching is the eight hundred dragon cavalry brought by Li Maozhen.

I saw that these 800 cavalrymen, all with left shields and right swords, their bodies prostrated on horseback, formed a sharp arrow formation and charged towards the god of soldiers.

The cavalry drew an arc diagonally, and hundreds of soldiers were cut off their heads, but their own casualties were less than 100.

Seeing this scene, both Li Maozhen and Li Xingyun were overjoyed, and they and others still underestimated the power of the Long Xiang Army, the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, I'll wait for General Guo to drag them down, and they will be there immediately, and then see if this old Wang Ba is still rampant."

In fact, one-on-one, these soldiers of the Long Xiang Army can't beat the god of soldiers, but the strength of the army is in cooperation, once the formation of a military formation has a unified command, these ordinary soldiers without wisdom are far from being the opponents of the Long Xiang army.

And the Long Xiang army, which had rushed through once, drew a beautiful arc and rushed towards the god of soldiers again, and hundreds of god soldiers were beheaded, but this time the dragon army also suffered greater casualties than the last time.

At this moment, a loud military horn sounded in the distance, and the earth began to shake somewhat.

But it was the army led by Guo Wei who arrived.

Chi Li knew what level his god of war was at, so he naturally wouldn't go to the army led by Guo Wei.

At that moment, he lay on You Chuan's back, leaving hundreds of soldiers to temporarily block everyone, and the rest of the soldiers climbed over the mountains with their hands and feet, choosing to escape.

Although Li Xingyun and others said that they wanted to leave Chi Li behind, they were just talking, just now it was more to save their lives, but now they see that Chi Li chose to retreat, but they have no head to chase and kill.

After all, after knowing that the Long Xiang Army could compete with the God of War and still have the upper hand, the sense of crisis in everyone's hearts was also relieved a lot, not to mention that the Gu King was also refining Gu worms that could control the God of War.

After everyone collected the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle, they went to join Guo Wei's army and then discussed the method of strangling Chi Li.

The disaster of the gods of war in the south is in a state of anxiety, and there are many situations in the north.

August of the second year of the opening of the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Jingjiao and Li Chengli, who escaped from Bianliang, lurked in Youzhou for more than a year, and assassinated Liu Rengong, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, in July, and captured Youzhou and Lulong.

In the following month, Shi Jingjiao visited Yelu Abaoji, the male lord of the unified Khitan, and led the Khitan southward at the expense of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The southeast was also not very quiet, and a coup d'état took place in Southern Wu, which was established by Yang Xingmi, a generation of male lords.

Taishi Li Yu rebelled, imprisoned Lord Wu, claimed that he was the orthodox Li Tang, and also changed the name of the country to Tang.

This is good, Li Siyuan's Tang has just been destroyed, and there is another Tang in the south, and Wu Yue, who is determined to follow Chang'an, naturally does not bird this neighbor, and a fierce conflict broke out, and the two sides are also in a posture of war in the southeast.

Changan.

Yu Fei couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the information coming from these parties, he originally planned to recuperate for a few years and then calmly dominate the world, but this general trend couldn't help Yu Fei to go down slowly.

The rest is okay, that is, Shi Jingjiao's two or five boys gave most of Youzhou to the Khitan, without the terrain protection of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Central Plains will always be under the Khitan army, if you don't take it back quickly, let the Khitan gain a firm foothold, and if you want to get it back in the future, the price will be great.

Yu Fei pondered for a moment before beginning to approve.

In response to Wu Yue's request for help, Yu Fei asked Pang Shigu, who was guarding Xiangyang, to lead 30,000 sailors to enter Huainan to help Wu Yue, the younger brother, relieve the pressure.

In the north, Yu Fei has already decided to personally conquer, as for the southern Xinjiang, there is no need to send troops, but in order to solve the instability in the rear as soon as possible, Yu Fei decided to go to Zhongnan Mountain in person and ask Yuan Tiangang to take a trip.

At the beginning of November of the second year of the opening of the Tang Dynasty, when Yu Fei led an army of 100,000 troops out of Tongguan to prepare for the unification of the north, the city of Bianliang was broken, and the Emperor Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty was killed.

After knowing that Yu Fei led the army out of Tongguan, Shi Jingjiao once again paid a big price, looted the entire Bianliang wealth and sent it to Yelu Abaoji, asking him to send troops to help him resist the Tang Dynasty.

And Yelu Abaoji also agreed after some careful consideration, mainly because Shi Jingjiao was too obedient, and the price was high, plus the sixteen states of Yanyun were promised by Shi Jingjiao to the Khitan, if Shi Jingjiao lost, whether the sixteen states of Yanyun could be cashed in became a problem, and Yelu Abaoji naturally wanted to keep this little brother.

In mid-December, the 100,000 Tang army led by Yu Fei and Shi Jingjiao's 220,000 Jin army and 110,000 Khitan troops met in Zhengzhou, and the two sides started a life-and-death battle.

Yu Fei had few but elite soldiers, and first used a plan to lead the Khitan cavalry out of the defeat, and Yelu Abaoji was also seriously injured by Yu Fei, and fled back to Youzhou with the remaining tens of thousands of cavalry.

The more than 200,000 Jin troops without cavalry escort became fat on the chopping board for slaughter, and they were trapped in Xinxiang by Yu Fei and could not advance or retreat.

After Yu Fei trapped Shi Jingjiao's main force, he ordered the troops of Taiyuan to recover the entire land of Hebei Sanjin, and Wang Yanzhang of Luoyang sent 60,000 troops to recover Henan.

Abaoji, who returned to Youzhou, held out for more than two months and passed away after handing over the position of Khitan Khan to his son Yelu Deguang.

In January of the third year of the opening of the Tang Dynasty, Yelu Deguang founded the country, and the country name was "Liao", which means to be strong and strong. The year name was changed to "Datong", and the capital was Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.

At this time, Shi Jingjiao's army, which had been besieged in Xinxiang for more than three months, also collapsed from its morale, and most of the soldiers surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Shi Jingjiao and Li Cunli could only retreat all the way to the Qingzhou border with the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

On February 1, Kaifeng Prefecture surrendered, Bianliang City was broken, and the Jin Kingdom, which had only been established for less than a year, was declared destroyed, and Shi Jingjiao, who fled to Qingzhou, also became a traitor from the lord of a country.

In mid-March, when Yu Fei was commanding the army in Bianliang to uproot the envoys of various regions in turn, and hunt down Shi Jingjiao and others, Yelu Deguang, who was firmly on the throne, went south with an army of 300,000 from Liao, claiming to be one million. It is necessary to avenge his father.
