Chapter 340 The praying mantis catches the cicada, but how do you know that the yellow finch is behind
From the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to the Senluo Difu, it only took two hours for Huangchao.
The nobles and nobles who he had hated for many years were wantonly trampled on like weeds, and Huang Chao's heart was full of hearty revenge.
Huang Chao gathered his subordinates and prepared to hunt down the biggest enemy, that is, the dog emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He must catch it alive, he must be a good emperor to make a living, so as to satisfy his wishes and reach the pinnacle of life.
On the other hand, he himself entered the temporary residence in the county seat, preparing to have an in-depth interaction with the captured Dog Emperor concubines.
When he took out his weapon and was about to whip the Dog Emperor's concubine, the panicked guards broke in directly.
"What's the hurry?" Huang Chao was very unhappy and scolded, "I can't do your part, and wait for this general first..."
The guards didn't talk nonsense to him, rushed over and directly set up the yellow nest and ran out.
When Huang Chao was out of the line, he was stunned to find that the killing sound inside and outside the county was shocking, and countless Datang iron horsemen galloped across the country, shouting and slaughtering the extremely scattered thieves who got off their horses one after another.
After the thieves eliminated the ministers, it was natural for them to dismount and plunder everywhere, which was the nature of the warriors in this era.
Even if Huang Chao ordered them to gather to chase the Dog Emperor, everyone continued to search perfunctorily.
The goods that the ministers had carried when they escaped from Chang'an City were swept away.
It's a pity that when the looting was the most enjoyable, the cavalry group led by Li Yunze chased after him.
On the one hand, he dismounted and was relieved of the combat state, and was wandering around looking for good things.
On the one hand, after eating enough to nourish the spirit, the morale of the cluster charged under the stimulation of catching the Yellow Nest and having a heavy reward.
It is not surprising that the situation on the battlefield is one-sided.
When Huang Chao came back to his senses, the first thing he did was to take off the robe that had been untied on his body and throw it away, turned around and rushed to a war horse, and went straight to the city gate without the slightest drag.
His golden palanquin, which was extremely stylish, was thrown away very simply.
It's like Li Yi abandoned the nobles and successfully blocked Huang Chao's pursuit.
Huang Chao did not hesitate to abandon the soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, and used them to block Li Yunze's pursuit.
A fruit man ran away with a group of cavalry, and did not attract much attention. With the help of beggar-thy-neighbor tactics, Huang Chao successfully escaped.
When the sky darkened and the entire county was lit up by countless torches, the battle of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches was barely over.
Entrenched in Chang'an City, many families have been inherited for I don't know how many years, and the princes and nobles were wiped out by the Huangchao War.
Only the emperor Li Yi, who went out to play polo, took the prince and the eunuchs to successfully escape.
He no longer dared to continue to stay near Chang'an City, so he fled all the way like crazy and went straight to Chengdu.
Huang Chao, who didn't have time to celebrate, was then attacked by Li Yunze, and more than 10,000 elite cavalry were almost lost, because when Li Yunze killed him, most of them didn't even ride horses.
The elite cavalry dismounted ...
Many people even untied their stomachs and used them to hold the goods they had looted.
There are also many people who break into their homes and bully women, or find wine and meat to eat, and have no combat effectiveness at all.
"Commander." The tooth soldiers came over and saluted, "I have caught two or three thousand thieves, what should I do?" ”
Li Yunze glanced at the corpses in Chinese clothes that covered the long street, and didn't care in the slightest.
Turning his eyes to the houses that were knocked open on both sides, he frowned when he looked at the miserable people, "Interrogate separately, report and expose each other." Those who bully the people will be dragged directly to the street and disposed of. Well, ask the local people, if there are people who are willing to do it themselves
Do it. ”
"Yui!"
Those who can be selected as the elite cavalry of thieves and soldiers will not have innocent blood on their hands.
So soon, batch after batch of thieves and prisoners were dragged to the long street and disposed of in rows.
As for their seizures, it was natural that they became Li Yunze's trophies.
"Split it all." Li Yunze waved his hand, "Everyone has a share, first according to the merits of the battle, and the rest will be divided equally." The same is true for wine and meat, and all the food is distributed to the local chiefs. ”
As soon as these words came out, the nearby sergeants suddenly thundered with joy.
It's not that Li Yunze is unwilling to share wealth, wine, and meat to the local people, but that these things are being given to the people in this troubled world, which is harming them.
Even if Li Yunze can control his soldiers and horses, and even be able to disperse the defeated Huangchao soldiers who fled nearby, as well as the defeated troops of Jingyuan and Shuofang who were defeated and fled before, but so what?
He still has to know Chang'an City, and martial arts will come and go here to pass through I don't know how many military towns.
In terms of the tradition of the warriors of this era, once the passing warriors noticed that the Qianshou had a large amount of money, wine and meat in his hands, it must be directly sealed and slaughtered and robbed.
There was no way, Li Yunze could only leave them food.
The only way to save the people is to end this damn troubled world.
When he came to Xingzai, Li Yunze bowed to several of Li Yi's concubines, "The last general has seen you." ”
"Thank you, General, for saving me..."
After some greetings and praise, the concubines said that they asked Li Yunze to send troops to escort them to the emperor.
"No."
Li Yunze very simply refused, "There are not many soldiers and horses under the command of the last general, so they cannot be dispersed." Either stay here and wait for Your Majesty to return, or go back to Chang'an City with the general. ”
Waiting for Li Yi to return?
That's impossible, the big guys know what kind of character the dog emperor is, how can he have the courage to come back when he is so frightened.
You can go to Chang'an City...
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." At this time, a Taoist priest saluted Li Yunze, "Poor Dao has seen the general." ”
Li Yunze was slightly puzzled: "Are you?" ”
"Poor Dao Du Guangting."
"Du Guangting?" Li Yunze was extremely surprised.
Du Guangting looked puzzled: "The general recognizes the poor way?" ”
Naturally, I don't recognize it, but I know your name.
As an extremely important grandmaster in the history of Daomen, Du Guangting's reputation and contributions are extremely great.
Just like his predecessor Luo Gongyuan accompanied Li Longji to Chengdu, he also accompanied Li Yi to Chengdu.
After that, many prayer ceremonies such as the continuation of the community were held in Chengdu.
A few years later, Li Yu returned to Chang'an City, but he stayed.
Du Guangting stayed in Qingcheng Mountain near Chengdu to practice, and wrote many works on the geography of mountains and rivers, the origin of Taoism, and the deeds of people.
He was not only an important figure in the history of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, but also a turning point in the history of Taoism in China.
He consciously sorted out the materials of various Taoist classics of the previous generation, summarized the theoretical aspects, and achieved great results and achievements.
In addition, Du Guangting is also a literary scholar, and created "The Biography of the Bearded Guest", which is the story of Li Jinghong's Buddha and the bearded guest.
He also wrote two pagoda poems, "Ji Daodao" and "Nostalgia for the Past and Present", and is a proper all-round talent.
Du Guangting was cultivating in the room in the backyard before, and the thieves who rushed in saw that he was a Taoist priest, but they were not embarrassed.
When Li Yunze was killed, the thieves ran away and he was able to escape.
"Dao Chief, please be seated." Li Yunze, who had a cold face before, smiled at this time, and stretched out his hand to signal Du Guangting to sit down, "I don't know what to say?" ”
"Don't dare to be."
Du Guangting didn't sit down, but saluted and said, "Poor Dao once vowed to escort His Majesty to Sichuan and Shu, and asked the general to send someone to escort me and others to find Your Majesty." ”
"I'll be honest with you." Li Yunze groaned slightly, and then said, "It is impossible to give soldiers, I have to take them back to Chang'an City to defend the city, every soldier is a very valuable force to defend the city." Besides, once you leave the army, you will walk on the road of no one
On the path, the sergeant who escorted you said that he would not become a robber. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes looked at the pale concubines, "When the time comes, there will be something unspeakable, so there is no need to say more." ”
Of course, there is no need to say more, in this troubled era when the martial arts are in charge, when they reach no man's land, they first slaughter the Taoist priests, and then put them in this and such and such a way, and then like this, and finally get tired of it, and they will be cut off with a knife, and they will run away with the goods, who can find it?
A convoy of less than 500 people, even if it is not wiped out by the scheming bandits along the way, it is very likely that the above situation will occur.
The concubines flinched, but Du Guangting nodded with a smile and said goodbye to Li Yunze and the others.
Even if you trek through mountains and rivers alone, you must fulfill your oath and escort Your Majesty to the land of Sichuan and Shu.
Looking at his departing back, Li Yunze didn't give him anything entangled.
Send the plate to Du Guangting, that is the rhythm of hating him immortal.
is still the same sentence, it is not only the warriors who are in trouble, although they have to carry the big black cauldron, but there are also many small black cauldrons.
Picking up the hoe is the head of the cultivated land, and putting down the hoe is the local people who cut the path and strong.
Gathering in the mountains and forests, singing 'I opened this mountain, this tree was planted by me, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road wealth' Cheng Biting Jin peers.
There are everywhere, look at the soldiers and horses of the feudal town where you are not happy and draw the knife directly.
Local evil officials, people in the countryside who are ruthless and persecutive, life is better than death.
Fadu has lost its deterrence, and all of them are living under the threat of force, and living a precarious life.
This is the true face of troubled times, not just hundreds of thousands of warriors fighting around.
The concubines decided to go back to Chang'an City with Li Yunze, after all, it was impossible for Li Yi to come back to find them, and it was impossible for them to run to the emperor by themselves.
You can't wait for the army to retreat, stay here and let the routs anxiously line up at the gate.
Speaking of the rout, when Li Yunze packed up the battlefield and was about to go back, some of the routs took the initiative to find him.
"Do you still have the face to come back?"
Li Yunze, who was on horseback, looked at the many defeated soldiers of Jingyuan and Shuofang Town in front of him with contempt, "You and others fled without a fight, and Cheng Jiedu and Tang Jiedu fought and died, how can you be embarrassed to say that you want to serve me?" ”
The soldiers and horses behind him laughed loudly when they heard this, mocking their peers.
Captain Shuofang was unwilling to reply, "The court doesn't give me money and food, so we naturally don't work hard for the court, what's wrong with this?" ”
The logic of the warriors of this era is so simple, if you have money, I am your person, and if you don't have money, who knows who you are? As in some later generations... Ahem.
"What the court owes you, have the two Jiedu envoys ever owed you?"
Li Yunze knew that he couldn't forcibly change the thinking of the martial artists all over the world, and his expression was very intuitive: "The general would not dare to wait, one day he will be betrayed and betrayed by you when he goes to the battlefield!" ”
