Admit punishment

In the territory of Shaanxi, dozens of cavalry rushed all the way to the east, passing through the city of Shaanzhou and not entering the city.

"This is the cavalry of Yuzhou for help." In the north of the city, lurking in the wild grass, Du Yanqiu said in a low voice.

The Tang army of Tongguan went eastward, and the people of Shaanxi, who were already small, fled, and the auxiliary army took advantage of the situation to collect the displaced people, sent them to Xingtang Mansion, and grabbed the grain in Shaanzhou.

Zhao Kuo originally planned to collect troops and return to the Xingtang Mansion, but was stopped by Du Yanqiu.

The attention of the Liang army in Shaanxi is all in Yuzhou, and holding Maojin Gudu can be used as a springboard to the south, and it can also prevent the Liang army in Shaanzhou from going north.

Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "They want to ask Luoyang for help?" What are you waiting for, brothers, copy the guys, stop them! “

"Brother, no, if our army makes a move, it is very easy to alarm the Liang army in Shaanzhou City and expose our location."

Zhao Kuo was a little strange, "What do you want to do?" “

Du Yanqiu pointed to Shaanzhou City and said with a smile: "Does my brother want to stay in the auxiliary army for the rest of his life?" “

"You want to attack Shaanzhou?" Zhao Kuo looked at the three thousand brothers lying in the barren grass behind him, and only one thousand of them were soldiers.

"Shaanzhou east of the junction of Shengchi County, west of Lingbao, control the lock north and south to rush, the terrain is dangerous, once occupied by our army, even if there are reinforcements in Luoyang, there is nothing to do, the husband's meritorious service should be today, why be afraid." Du Yanqiu said impassionedly.

"We only have 3,000 men!"

"It doesn't matter, if there are soldiers in the city of Shaanzhou, the cavalry of the Liang army asking for help will not bypass it, and we will take it by surprise and touch the city at night." Du Yanqiu is full of confidence.

Zhao Kuo was speechless, looking at Shaanzhou City, his eyes gradually became resolute, and he was still moved by the sentence "The great husband's meritorious service should be made today", "Okay, I'll listen to you." “

After lying dormant in the wild grass for more than an hour, the sky gradually became dark.

After autumn, the night in the northern land is still cool.

Zhao Kuan sympathized with his subordinates, let the soldiers take turns to rest, nourish their physical strength, and chew a few bites of dry food at will when they were hungry.

The soldiers had no opinion on attacking Shaanzhou.

Most of the people in the auxiliary army are eager to go one step further and become a regular army, not only double their salary, but also straighten their waists in Chang'an City or their hometown.

Moreover, the auxiliary army is either veterans who have been eliminated from various towns in Guanzhong, or new young people, and under a series of incentives, they all want to make meritorious contributions.

Finally stayed up late into the night.

I couldn't see my fingers, and there was silence all around, only the sound of the night wind caressing the tips of the grass, mixed with one or two sparse insect chirps.

Du Yanqiu selected more than 30 people with strong skills, took the rope, and touched forward.

Zhao Kuo led a large army to slowly approach the north gate of Shaanzhou in the barren grass.

There are faint torches in the city, swaying in the wind, before dawn, it is the most sleepy time for people, the Liang army on the city leans on the pheasant moat in twos and threes, sleepy-eyed.

Zhao Kuo waited anxiously under the city.

In less than a stick of incense, the north gate actually opened.

But it was not Du Yanqiu who came out, but a group of Liang Jun, one of whom stood in front of the door with a horse and a gun, and a group of armor soldiers behind him holding torches.

"All out!"

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on.

At this moment, Du Yanqiu and more than 30 others were pushed out.

Zhao Kuo's heart sank, this group of Liang troops were all wearing heavy armor, and the auxiliary army was not even equipped with leather armor, and the strong attack could only be to find death.

I am in a dilemma.

That Liang Jiang suddenly roared: "Revive the Tang Dynasty." “

In the barren grass, Zhao Kuo felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he muttered back in his mouth: "Revive Datang." “

Dozens of torches were thrown into the grass, revealing their figures.

"Zhou Yunyi, the commander of the left army of the Tang Praetorian Guard, is here, which part of the auxiliary army are you?" The firelight illuminates the young face of the general.

"Zhou, General Zhou!" Zhao Kuo stood up directly from the barren grass, followed the firelight, and finally saw the face clearly, "It's really General Zhou!" “

Zhou Yunyi was like thunder in the Tang Army, and Zhao Kuo was also from Xiliucheng, so it was impossible not to know Zhou Yunyi.

The auxiliary troops in the barren grass rose up one after another.

The armor stood in front of Zhou Yunyi.

"One person stepped forward and showed the flag."

Zhao Kuo only stepped forward and presented his nameplate, and after Zhou Yunyi inspected it, he said: "You are so bold, as an auxiliary army, you dare to sneak attack Shaanzhou." “

Although his words were harsh, there was no anger on his face.

"The end, the end of the general, just ....." Zhao Kuo really couldn't find any reason to explain, it was not his original intention to sneak attack Shaanzhou.

"The place where Shaanzhou is going to be rushed, take this city, and Wang Chongshi and Liu Zhijun of Yuzhou will become the turtle in the urn." Du Yanqiu answered on his behalf.

Zhou Yunyi looked at him coldly, "You are very bold and your means are not bad, you will kill three subordinates at your hands, what is your name?" “

Du Yanqiu half-knelt in front of Zhou Yunyi, "Villain Du Yanqiu, if the general wants to punish, it's all up to the villain, and it's not about Zhao Sima." “

When people are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, Du Yanqiu feels that he must have offended any gods and Buddhas in his previous life, and he has been unlucky all the way.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "General Zhou, if you want to punish the last general, my brother is unintentional." “

"The two of you are affectionate and righteous, killing you is too cheap for you, so let's do it, the family of the dead brother, you will raise it in the future!" Zhou Yunyi said.

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be so simple, "The last general will admit punishment, admit punishment." “

Du Yanqiu kept looking at Zhou Yunyi.

is the same youth, but Du Yanqiu is ashamed of himself.

Zhou Yunyi's gaze fell on him, "You just said that if you take Shaanzhou, Yuzhou will become a turtle in an urn, what else is there?" “

Du Yanqiu aroused a hint of competitiveness, "Take a step back, stay in the city, and wait for Luoyang reinforcements, but you can be surprised and unprepared." Further, cross the steep mountains, go deep into the hinterland of Luoyang, sneak attack Xin'an, and clear the way for His Majesty to attack Luoyang! “

Zhou Yunyi laughed, and pulled his hand, "I didn't expect that among the auxiliary army, there are people like you, you and I meet here, it is Tianyi Luoyang to grant Your Majesty!" “

The sky was slightly bright, and the two entered the city together, only to see thousands of Tang soldiers in the city riding on horses and silent, spears like forests, bright armor, like steel monuments in the faint morning light.

The fiery red Tang flag gently waved in the wind.

There was a faint pride and solemnity in the eyes of every Tang Jun.

On the side of the cavalry, there are all kinds of soldiers in untidy clothes, most of them are Hezhong Army, a small part is Liang Army, and some people with ragged clothes and fierce eyes are mountain bandits at first glance.

There were no less than seven or eight thousand people in all.

Seeing this scene, Du Yanqiu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt that he was not wronged by the defeat of this army.

There is also an ancient aura of slaughter growing imperceptibly.

The Qin army, the Han army, and the Tang army are in the same line.

"You guys came in a very timely manner, Du Yanqiu, Zhao Kuo, do you dare to follow Ben Jiang to take Xin'an directly?" Under the banner, Zhou Yunyi's eyes were like gods.

The ancient killing aura was also infused into Du Yanqiu and Zhao Kuo's bodies, which immediately made the two of them enthusiastic.

"Wish!" The two bowed in front of Zhou Yunyi.

Zhou Yunyi turned to face the cavalry and said loudly: "We have been dormant in the mountains for more than a month, gathering the remnants of the army, and disrupting the enemy's rear, in order to capture Xin'an and open the gate to the eastern capital today!" “

Spears and swords were raised into the sky.

"Meng Fang led the remnants of the 5,000 Hezhong Army, and Han Xun led 1,000 Shuofang cavalry to defend Shaanzhou City, people are in the city, and people are not in the city!" Zhou Yunyi said sharply.

"The last general commands!"
