Chapter 50: The Siege of the City
Suddenly, the dust rose in the distance, and Sheva led the army to gallop, shouting like thunder.
Wolf Zhengxuan was shocked: "Li Gesang, what does this mean?" ”
He also thought that Zhuan Xin and Nalong had taken refuge in Li Gesang, and now Sheva led the army to kill, and he was instructed by Li Gesang.
Li Gesang said in surprise: "My brother don't doubt it, I don't know what's going on." ”
At this time, Sheva arrived first and said in a loud voice: "Captain Wolf, Sheva is here to help you!" ”
Wolf Zhengxuan was overjoyed: "Okay, in that case, big brother, let's change the time of our competition!" ”
I saw tens of thousands of troops behind Sheva, lined up in formation, swarming, and surrounded Li Gesang and others.
It turned out that after Sheva plotted against Nalong, he simply did nothing, and he didn't stop killing a henchman of Zhuanxin, and lied that Zhuanxin sent someone to assassinate Nalong on the order of Li Gesang.
As soon as this news came out, the whole army was shocked, although many generals doubted in their hearts, how could a small soldier kill the invincible Nalong patriarch of the Yi people's martial arts? But since Sheva said this, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head and investigate this matter deeply?
Therefore, according to Sheva's meaning, since he first took revenge and then mourned Nalong, in this way, in addition to the 3,000 men and horses under Zhuanxin's men, nearly 30,000 troops surrounded the future, where can Li Gesang resist?
Sheva commanded the troops, and indiscriminately killed them, and many of the sergeants under his command were injured by mistake.
Fortunately, Tie Ning led the 600 elites of the imperial court to defend the city gate, and Li Gesang and others fought and retreated, and withdrew to the forbidden city.
Carefully checked, although the sergeant suffered a lot of casualties, but even the troops of Zhuanxin, Li Gesang still had 3,500 people under his command, fortunately, there was enough food in the forbidden city, Li Gesang was full of confidence: "Rest assured, I Li Gesang has no soldiers and no generals, and I am not afraid of Sheva and Wolf Zhengxuan. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were at peace, and they set up camp and strengthened their defenses.
Li Bai summoned the Tang Dynasty to inspect with him, walked along the base of the forbidden wall, and sighed: "Brother Xian, how can you go to the Sheva army so recklessly, if there is a mistake, don't you have to suffer for the rest of your life for your brother?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes were a little red.
Tang Chao held Li Bai's hand and said movingly: "Big brother, I know your sincerity to your brother, but, but I have thought about it, if General Zhuan returns to the Yi army alone, I am afraid that he will face the old master and will not be able to do it, and if I go, the enemy will have no suspicion and will relax his vigilance, and Brother Zhuan will also be successful, and other people will definitely be recognized by Sheva!" ”
Li Bai nodded and said, "What Brother Xian said is the same, but doing so is too risky!" Don't do anything like this in the future? ”
Tang Chao recalled the feeling of hundreds of thousands of weapons against his heart, and he still had palpitations in his heart, and nodded: "Okay, brother will never do it in the future." ”
Grandma's, at that time, I only thought that it was an excellent plan, but I didn't expect that a little carelessness would take my own life, such a thing, naturally I won't do it in the future.
Li Bai sighed and said: "Speaking of which, your eldest brother and I are also ashamed, I ask myself that my martial arts are higher than yours, and my mind is not weaker than yours. ”
Tang Chao hurriedly humbled himself: "Big brother's words, you can kill the little brother, just think about it, if it weren't for the eldest brother who saved the life of the little brother in Dali's 'Green Field Restaurant' that day, where is the little brother today, the eldest brother is even more difficult is that you and Your Majesty have no relatives and no reason, and you are willing to see the unevenness of the road and draw a sword to help, otherwise, with the wolf Zhengxuan's top martial arts, even if His Majesty Li Gesang does not die, I am afraid that he has already been exiled, right?" ”
Li Bai smiled and said: "Brother Xian, don't put a high hat on me, I work so hard for the prince, then there is still a plan, I hope that Brother Xian will look at the face of his brother, he will say a few more good words every day." ”
Tang Chao was surprised: "Big brother has a plan, what is it?" ”
Li Bai smiled and said: "It's too early to say it now, let's talk about it later!" ”
Where can the Tang Dynasty endure it, and begged: "Big brother, just tell me, if there is a chance, the younger brother will definitely help!" ”
Li Bai smiled and said: "Okay, since the virtuous brother must ask, it is okay to tell you, I want to help His Majesty put down the Nanzhao rebellion, and borrow three thousand elite soldiers from him." ”
Tang Chao was shocked: "Big brother, you, what are you borrowing troops for?" ”
Li Bai looked at Tang Chao's surprised face: "Hehe, brother Xian, but then you are scared, in fact, I didn't want to rebel by borrowing troops!" ”
Tang Chao Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and thought, obediently, I just thought that you were bold and wanted to fight against the powerful Tang Dynasty with 3,000 troops, isn't it good, and quickly asked, "What is that for?" ”
Li Bai said: "I'm here to help quell the rebellion!" ”
"Rebellion?" The Tang Dynasty didn't understand it even more.
Li Bai said: "Brother Xian is in southern Xinjiang, I don't know the situation in the Central Plains, now is the twenty-first year of Li Longji's Kaiyuan, originally, a few years ago, everyone said that Kaiyuan was prosperous, and Du Fu's brother also wrote a poem 'Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families. The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant. There are no jackals on the roads of Kyushu, and the sun rises far away. Qi Su Lu is full of cars, and men and women are not lost. Indeed, although Brother Du's poems have elements of beauty, they are generally in line with the facts, because at that time, Li Longji appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Shuo and other sages as prime ministers, developed production, rectified the army, and made politics clear and prosperous. Take the appointment of sages as an example, Li Longji can be called courageous back then, Zhang Jiuling is a native of Guangdong, Lingnan is remote and remote, and it has been difficult for officials on that side to even enter the imperial court for hundreds of years, let alone serve as a big official in the imperial court, but because Zhang Jiuling is talented, Li Longji actually promoted him to be the prime minister, which is unprecedented in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and his courage is directly compared to that of Tang Taizong back then. Also, Han Xiu is the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and it stands to reason that he is just a minister guarding the border passes, but because he has a meritorious role in fighting the attack of the Turkic little Bolu Khan, he actually directly entered the imperial court as the prime minister, this is what everyone often says'out of the general into the phase', hey, the foolish brother is not talented, although he has been excluded by many and has been exiled in all directions, but to be honest, Bai is still moved by Li Longji's courtesy to me back then, I know that he is a person, love is true, but helplessly, he has gradually become obscene and lustful now, and he is despised by Bai! ”
Tang Chao was very interested, and although he was in this fierce siege, he still asked excitedly: "Does he like Yang Guifei?" ”
Li Bai laughed twice: "Young man, just like to ask this, yes, brother Xian, I won't hide it from you, one of the reasons why I left Chang'an in the first place was that I couldn't get used to seeing Li Long so lustful." Yang Guifei is actually called Yang Yuhuan, a native of Shuzhong, born beautiful, after her parents were killed, she went to Luoyang to attach her father and brother Yang Yang Xuanjiao, when she grew up, she was crowned in Luoyang, Li Longji came to the Eastern Capital, he had a favored concubine named Concubine Wu Hui, beautiful, because of the introduction of her daughter Princess Xianyi, she met Yang Yuhuan, and was shocked, so Yang Yuhuan married her son Shouwang. After all, Li Longji was Yang Yuhuan's father-in-law, but later Li Longji saw Yang Yuhuan's beauty, and actually asked Yang Guifei to become a monk, called Taizhen Daogu, and then slowly got Huaqing Pool, and finally was named a concubine, which was very moral. It's good now, he reuses Li Linfu, a traitor with a honey-bellied sword, the government is not in the same place, and he trusts Hu people like An Lushan more, it is not enough for him to be the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, and soon he will be the envoy of the Fanyang Festival and the envoy of the Longxi Festival, I have long heard that An Lushan is not right, and he is afraid that he will become a big trouble, and he wants to borrow troops for his brother, and he is just worried that he will have a chance to make meritorious contributions when the incident happens in the future! ”
The Tang Dynasty was greatly impressed, Li Baizheng was so talented that he even saw this, of course he knew that An Lushan later rebelled against Li Longji, and praised: "Big brother, the little brother will follow you!" ”
Please have flowers for your support, thank you!
Note: Zhuge Kongming has the famous "Longzhong Pair", which is similar to what Li Bai said today, so it is called "Siege Pair".
