Chapter 123: The Battle of Fufeng Tiance became famous
At the beginning of December of the first year of Yining, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng under Li Yuan in Daxing City set off for the area of Fufeng County with an army of 200,000 menacingly, threatening to annihilate the attacking Xue Rengao army in one fell swoop.
Walking on the official road leading to Fufeng County, Chu Mofeng looked at the loess on both sides of the road, and said to Li Shimin, who was walking side by side: "I see that many trees are planted on both sides of the official road in Jinyang and Zhangye, and I heard the old people in the city say that planting trees can resist the invasion of sand, since we have decided to open up a new era, then these small problems must also be taken seriously." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, the people's livelihood is the foundation of the country, a country or a dynasty, if the people are not clothed and hungry, then such a country will sooner or later decline and perish, just like the current Sui Dynasty, isn't it?"
"Li Laoer, you must remember that governing a country is not only relying on constant conquest and killing, but also a peaceful and stable situation. Chu Mofeng turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him who were still in good spirits, and said slowly: "What I hold in my left hand is a knife and gun, and what I hold in my right hand is the land. ”
After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin said with a sigh: "I suddenly found that when it comes to the way to govern the country, I really don't know as thoroughly as you, and the people of the world have been taught." ”
"Come on, you and I brothers, what do you say about being taught and not being taught, it's just that in those years, in addition to running around, I still read a lot of books. Seeing Li Shimin riding on a horse and preparing to give a salute, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stretched out his hand and held him down.
Seeing this, Li Shimin no longer did too much hypocrisy, and shifted the topic to the upcoming war, "What do you think of Xue Rengao's diversion to attack Daxing this time?"
Chu Mofeng scratched his head and thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "A person like Xue Rengao, who is brutal by nature, should not put too much energy into using strategies, it is estimated that the person who formulated the plan to attack Daxing this time should be his Laozi Xue Ju, and his intention is nothing more than to throw stones and ask for directions to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger." ”
Then Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and took out a water bladder from the jacket on the horse's back, unscrewed it straight away, poured a few mouthfuls of water on his lips and said: "Xue Rengao doesn't need to pay too much attention to this person, but it is his son Xue Ju, I also know something about this person, when he was not rebellious, he was the captain of Jincheng, he had countless wealth in his family, and he liked to make friends with Haoqiang, this person is thoughtful and old-fashioned, and he is indeed a big trouble. ”
Immediately, Chu Mofeng took out a dart from the dart bag behind his back and played with it in his hand, and said with a hideous face: "If it really doesn't work, I will find a way to sneak into Qinzhou and assassinate him, so as to prevent future troubles." ”
"It doesn't matter, in the strategic plan formulated by my father, at least this year, we will basically focus on the Longyou area, and we will be able to completely eliminate the father and son of the Xue family. Li Shimin shook his head, and hurriedly dispelled Chu Mofeng's idea of wanting to get into danger, "I know that the assassination is already difficult, and besides, you are going to assassinate the leader of a separatist force, this matter is estimated to be even more difficult, we are both relatives and brothers, I don't want you to be in danger, if you encounter any accidents, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”
"Well, I wouldn't have done it without your orders. Hearing that Li Shimin cared about him, Chu Mofeng's heart couldn't help but warm, and he hurriedly nodded and said, "You said that it would be great if that old guy Xue Ju suddenly died in an accident, and then there would be no need to worry about just one Xue Rengao." ”
"Don't daydream, if Xue Ju really dies unexpectedly as you say, then I, Li Shimin, swear that in this life, I must create a prosperous world that can truly allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Li Shimin listened to Chu Mofeng's curse, and couldn't help but have some intention of betting with him.
As everyone knows, Li Shimin's oath today was unfortunate enough for the gods and Buddhas to listen to it, so that in the future, Chu Mofeng actually used this to urge Li Shimin, under the witness of Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin really did not break his promise, but these are all later words, and I will not press it for the time being.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Shimin turned his head to face behind him and shouted: "The whole army will speed up the march and strive to reach the territory of Fufeng County within three days." After speaking, he raised the whip in his hand and galloped forward.
At this time, a bloody massacre was being staged in the law field of Huangyuan County, Fufeng County, and I saw a man wearing armor and a vulture on the beheading platform lying on his back on a chair, with his feet on the case, looking straight at the roof of the prison beheading platform, and muttering something in his mouth.
On the beheading table, there were three rows of people kneeling, all wearing snow-white prison uniforms, kneeling on the ground with a lonely expression, and some of them were still stained with undried blood on their faces and bodies.
I saw a man dressed as a soldier running over to the man and said, "Master Xue, the hour is coming, what do you think we should do with these batches of prisoners?"
After hearing this, the man got up and stood up straight, looked coldly around the prisoners on the beheading platform, and said in an almost hoarse voice: "Ask again, which one is willing to give me the money, and the prince can spare him from death." If you continue to be obsessed, don't blame the prince, I'm going to kill. After saying that, he turned back and lay down on the chair, resuming his movements.
This person is Xue Rengao, the prince of Longyou Western Qin, and after seeing that the personal soldier got the order, he hurriedly ran to the beheading platform, and said viciously to the kneeling prisoners: "You Diao people, the prince just said, if any of you are willing to submit, the prince is very kind and can spare him from death, otherwise once the prince is angry, it will be the head of the people." ”
After speaking, he looked at the people in front of him, expecting that there would be a few people who were afraid of death to beg for mercy, and he could also be like Xue Rengao, at this moment, a man over fifty years old stood up and said loudly: "This official, the villain has something to say." ”
Hearing this man speak, the rest of the kneeling people cast contemptuous glances at him, but this person did not care about the gaze from around him, and opened his mouth and prepared to speak.
As soon as the soldier saw that as soon as his words fell, someone got up and echoed him, and he couldn't help but feel very happy, and walked quickly to this person and said, "Yo, isn't this the shopkeeper of the silk village in the city? ”
I saw that the shopkeeper looked at the pro-soldier coldly and said: "This official, what the villain wants to say is the people kneeling on the field, in fact, none of them are optimistic about their Xue family, especially this Xue Rengao, who is really a beast, if you want us to submit to him, it may be possible to be reincarnated as a king in the next life." ”
The pro-soldier didn't think that Shopkeeper Zhang would say such words, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but who knew that Shopkeeper Zhang turned around and scolded Xue Rengao on the prison beheading platform: "Surnamed Xue, you brute, the defenders in Huangyuan County and General Tang Bi's personal guards were all buried alive outside the city by you, don't you dream at night that they are not afraid that they will come to ask for your life? ”
Seeing Zhang Jincai suddenly scolding, the stage suddenly became a mess, and everyone kneeling down heard that Zhang Jincai did not intend to belong but took the opportunity to curse, and they all opened their mouths to applaud. And Xue Rengao's personal soldiers hurriedly signaled the soldiers on the side to press Zhang Jincai to the ground desperately.
I saw Xue Rengao straighten up and walk down quickly, came to Zhang Jincai's side and pulled out the long knife on his waist, first slashed at the tendons of Zhang Jincai's hands and feet, only to hear Zhang Jincai crying out in pain.
Seeing this scene, Xue Rengao waved the long knife in his hand, and with a flash of knife light, Zhang Jincai's left ear rose to the sky with a cluster of blood beads, as the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and one finger pain is painful, but the ear was suddenly cut off, and the pain was worse than the pain of a broken finger.
Zhang Jincai raised his head and howled at the sky at this time, only to see Xue Rengao motioning his soldiers to take a piece of red-hot charcoal from the nearby hearth, and motioned to several soldiers to set Zhang Jincai up.
Seeing Xue Rengao smiling at himself with a clamp holding a charcoal holder, he had already guessed what he was going to do next, so he hurriedly closed his lips and struggled hard, but all the tendons and tendons in his hands and feet were wasted, and his strength was long gone. It's just a futile struggle.
Finding that Zhang Jincai's lips were tightly closed, he hurriedly motioned for a personal soldier to pinch his nose, and after a while, Zhang Jincai hurriedly opened his mouth because of suffocation, ready to breathe.
Seeing this, Xue Rengao put the clamp in his hand and the hot coal into Zhang Jincai's mouth, only to see that Zhang Jincai didn't know where to get the strength because of the extreme pain, and instantly broke free from the soldiers who controlled him, and fell down the beheading stage like a return to the light.
The crowd of onlookers turned sideways and couldn't bear to see this tragic scene, only to see a handsome woman about twenty-eight years old rushing out of the crowd, rushing to Zhang Jincai's side with tears on her face, shouting: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
But Zhang Jincai had already stopped breathing at this time, and the temperature on his body was slowly dissipating, and suddenly heard a woman's voice in the crowd, Xue Rengao turned around and looked directly at the audience, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Arrest that little lady for me and go back to the house, all these unknown people on the stage will be killed and buried outside the city." ”
After speaking, he left the decapitation platform while laughing wildly, and when Xue Rengao returned to the prison beheading platform, there were bursts of screams before dying behind him, and suddenly the heads on the beheading platform were rolling, and blood splashed under the stage with the skull, and the decapitation platform seemed to have been soaked in plasma, exuding a disgusting smell of blood.
And Zhang Jincai's daughter in the audience was dragged away by several soldiers, and the onlookers couldn't help but show a trace of unbearability when they saw this, everyone knew that all the women who were brought into Xue Rengao's mansion were standing in and coming out horizontally, and they all died miserably.
Three days later, Li Shimin's army successfully arrived in Fufeng County, Zhiyong County, and the army entered Yongxian County, and the people who heard the news surrounded Li Shimin and others.
When he came to the gate of the county guard's mansion, Li Shimin ordered his own soldiers to invite the officials in the city together, and at the same time instructed Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others to arrange the soldiers under his command at the school field in the city, and strictly ordered not to disturb the people, and then stood on the steps of the county guard's mansion and quietly looked at the people below.
I saw that the Fufeng County Guard led a group of officials to Li Shimin, and made a big salute neatly and said: "The lower official Fufeng County Guard led a group of officials to see General Li. ”
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Lord County Shou, how do you explain the scene in front of you?"
Looking at the people in the audience, the Fufeng County Shou sighed and said: "General Qiqi Li, most of these people in the audience are not our Yongxian natives, and many of them have fled from the areas of Huangyuan, Yile and Longxi. ”
Hearing that the Fufeng County Shou mentioned Yile County in his words, Chu Mofeng stepped forward and shouted below: "Fellow villagers, dare to ask which of you fled from Yile County, please step forward and ask about something important." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw about thirty people walking forward in unison, their eyes locked on Chu Mofeng, as if they wanted to know from his eyes what he was going to ask. I saw Chu Mofeng walk down, took out a few pieces of money from his arms, handed them to one of them, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I am good friends with your Lord Geng Ligeng, the county commander of Yile County, you can take this money." ”
After receiving the money handed over by Chu Mofeng, the person who received the money knelt down at the moment, and shouted to Chu Mofeng with a crying voice: "This general, you can avenge Lord Geng, after Xue Rengao's bastard captured Lord Geng, he brutally killed him, and our Yile County was also slaughtered by him, and in the end, only us people escaped." As soon as this person's voice fell, the rest of the people in Yile County knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Mofeng incessantly.
Chu Mofeng couldn't bear it when he saw this scene, and hurriedly signaled his soldiers to help everyone up, and then said to them: "Everyone, the tragic incident of the Gengxian Order has long been known below, and this time I accompanied General Li to lead the army under his command to come, just to save you from fire and water, please rest assured, the army will go to Huangyuan County to fight against Xue Thief in the near future, and you will definitely be given justice." ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin, who was on the side, said to the Fufeng County Guard: "Lord County Guard, we will settle the matter of the war at this time, but I ask you to quickly and properly settle the people who have fled, and not a single person sleeping on the street is allowed, understand?"
When everyone heard that Li Shimin was always thinking about everyone, they knelt down and shouted to Li Shimin: "Thank you to General Li, General Li Shengming, Prime Minister Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming." After saying that, he began to kowtow again.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Everyone, please hurry up, Li implores you to leave first, if you need to settle the house, please come to the county guard office tomorrow to report, all the money will be borne by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li only hopes that you can live in peace, thank you." ”
When everyone heard this, they shouted 'Shengming' and left separately, and after the end of the show, Li Shimin sat on the steps tiredly and said to Chu Mofeng: "Tonight, find a way to go, no matter success or failure, safety first." ”
Chu Mofeng nodded and said to Li Shimin: "I know, whether I succeed or not tomorrow, I must lead the army to attack Huangyuan County, you and I have already discussed the battle plan before, then everything will be left to me." After speaking, Chu Mofeng stepped on the wind and ran towards Wangyuan County.
That night, in the temporary mansion of Xue Rengao in Huangyuan County, Xue Rengao, who was already drunk, staggered towards his bedroom, Xue Rengao knew in his heart that there was a lamb to be slaughtered in the room at this moment waiting for him to ravage wantonly.
Thinking of this, Xue Rengao's face couldn't help but show a lewd smile, his eyes were confused, but he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and suddenly Xue Rengao scolded himself: "Old thing, scold me every time, when you die, everything is mine, Lao Tzu, I don't want to be a prince, Lao Tzu wants to be an emperor." ”
Chu Mofeng had already taken advantage of the opportunity of lax inspection during the day to sneak into Huangyuan County, and randomly found a passer-by to inquire about Xue Rengao's temporary mansion, Chu Mofeng immediately found an uninhabited mansion to hide in, quietly waiting for the night to come.
At this moment, Chu Mofeng stood on the roof of Xue Rengao's temporary mansion, admiring the scenery below through his mask, each holding a dagger in his hand and turning it at will, as if he wanted to suppress his bloodthirsty impulse.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Xue Rengao coming, Chu Mofeng was about to change places to catch someone to ask, when he suddenly heard an obscene voice from below: "Little lady, this prince is here, if you serve me well, will you be promoted to be the crown princess." ”
Immediately, the sound of a door being pushed open came into Chu Mofeng's ears, and seeing this scene, Chu Mofeng squatted down and uncovered a piece of the roof tiles, and looked inside through the hole.
I saw a woman in the room with her hands and feet tied, sitting on the bed with a frightened face, as Xue Rengao walked in, the woman's frightened color became more and more intense, only to hear Xue Rengao say with drunkenness: "Little lady, the prince will loosen your ties, you will serve well tonight." ”
After speaking, he stepped forward to remove all the restraints on the woman's hands and feet, and found that the restraints had gone, and the woman stood up and wanted to run out, but because she was tied for a long time, the qi and blood were not smooth, and she saw the woman's legs numb and fell to the ground.
Xue Rengao laughed out loud when he saw this, walked forward quickly and picked up the woman and threw her on the bed, then took off all his clothes, and the whole person pounced.
Chu Mofeng was furious when he saw this, and was about to turn over and go down to assassinate him, but who knew that Xue Rengao's shout suddenly came from inside the house, Chu Mofeng didn't know why he hurriedly continued to watch through the hole.
I saw Xue Rengao holding one ear and screaming uncontrollably, blood flowed out along the cracks of his fingers, and the wine suddenly disappeared, only to see blood flowing out of the woman's mouth, staring at Xue Rengao viciously and saying: "You thief killed my father, you have the ability to kill me too." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xue Rengao step forward, holding the woman's head with both hands and twisting it vigorously, only to hear the sound of 'click', and the woman's neck bone was instantly broken.
Seeing the woman slowly falling to the ground, Xue Rengao seemed to be still angry, walked to the side of the bed and pulled out a long sword and stabbed the woman's corpse, Chu Mofeng on the roof saw this scene, and suddenly flashed in his mind the scene of Geng Li's murder that he had made up in his mind, and he was immediately angry.
I saw Chu Mofeng fall to the ground with a backflip, and stabbed Xue Rengao with the dagger in his hand, because of Xue Rengao's brutal nature, people would often assassinate him, and in the process of continuous assassination, Xue Rengao gradually developed a keen sense.
Sensing a gust of wind behind him, Xue Rengao turned around and raised his long sword to block Chu Mofeng's hateful blow, and the whole person was shocked backwards by the force on Chu Mofeng's dagger, and after stabilizing his body, Xue Rengao looked at Chu Mofeng and said, "The kid's kung fu is good, do you consider returning to the prince?"
"Belong to your uncle, surnamed Xue, do you remember Geng Li who was mutilated by you? The master is here to avenge him today, let's die." Hearing Xue Rengao's vain attempt to win him over, Chu Mofeng angrily rushed towards Xue Rengao again.
Seeing this, Xue Rengao stabbed towards Chu Mofeng with his long sword, only to see that Chu Mofeng was about to make contact with the tip of the sword The moment he crossed the other side of the Huangquan in both hands, which was worthy of Xue Rengao's long sword, and then he held up his arms vigorously and held Xue Rengao's long sword and the hand holding the sword upward.
At this time, Xue Rengao was already open to the air, Chu Mofeng saw this opportunity to raise his foot and kick Xue Rengao's chest, only to hear a 'bang', Xue Rengao's whole person was kicked out by Chu Mofeng, and he flew upside down and landed in the courtyard all the way.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng grabbed two darts from the dart bag behind him, and rushed out in a flash, only to see that Xue Rengao had already thrown the long sword on the ground, and the whole person hurriedly ran towards the outer courtyard.
Due to the darkening of the sky and the reduced visibility, the darts that were usually hundreds of shots did not pierce Xue Rengao's back of the heart at this moment, as Chu Mofeng expected, but surprisingly shot his two knee sockets.
After Xue Rengao was kicked out by this person, he found that he was not this person's opponent at all, and after thinking about it, his life was still important, so he immediately dropped the weapon in his hand and ran towards the outer courtyard.
At this time, Xue Rengao couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Come on, this prince is attacked, help." ”
Chu Mofeng, who was originally about to catch up with the sword, heard Xue Rengao calling for help, and there was a rush of footsteps in his ears, and he immediately shouted to Xue Rengao angrily: "You wait, one day I will slaughter you all over the house and avenge those who were killed by you." After saying that, he turned around and kicked his feet against the doorpost a few times, and the whole person jumped into the air like a big bird, and then disappeared into the vast night.
After the arrival of his own soldiers, the frightened Xue Rengao hurriedly ordered the whole city to arrest the assassin. With Xue Rengao's order, the entire Huangyuan County suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs.
At this time, Chu Mofeng had already climbed out of the city wall, stepped on the treading wind hidden in the bushes outside the city, and ran towards Zhiyong County, Fufeng County.
After returning to Yongxian County and calling open the gate, Chu Mofeng found Li Shimin, because there has been no news of Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin has been waiting anxiously, and at this moment, seeing Chu Mofeng return safely, the heart that has been hanging in his heart suddenly fell.
After listening to Chu Mofeng's story hastily, Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay for you to come back, hurry up and take a rest, and the whole army will attack Huangyuan early tomorrow morning." ”
Chu Mofeng nodded goodbye to Li Shimin, returned to his residence, and after a hurried wash, he fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Shimin ordered all the soldiers and horses to march towards Huangyuan County, and came to the outside of Huangyuan County, only to see that the city gates were closed on three sides, and only the gate facing the direction of Yongxian County was open at this time.
After the two armies stood still, they only heard the man say: "Who is coming from the front? ”
Li Shimin was about to answer, when he saw Chu Mofeng, who was wearing armor on the side, closed the cover of his helmet downward, took out his weapon and shouted to the man: "Behead your uncle, the surname Xue will die." ”
After saying that, he galloped out alone, Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly beckoned: "The Tiance army will charge with General Chu, and the rest of the troops will attack according to the original plan. After speaking, he also drew his lance and led a team of men and horses to chase after Chu Mofeng.
Hearing the words 'your uncle' from the person who rushed out from the opposite side, Xue Rengao immediately remembered that this person was the person who came to assassinate him last night, and he was immediately horrified in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned his men to rush to meet the battle.
I saw Chu Mofeng rushing out first, followed by the three hundred Tiance troops behind him, and sensing that there were Tiance people behind him, Chu Mofeng shouted loudly: "The wolf tooth team will break the formation with me, the spear team will tear the mouth open, the crossbow team is responsible for sweeping the formation, and the bow and arrow team will concentrate on shooting." ”
Since these three hundred Tiance troops were all trained by Chu Mofeng, they knew Chu Mofeng's attack methods well, and then everyone acted according to Chu Mofeng's instructions, only to see the fifty Tiance troops behind Chu Mofeng take a thick mace from the Desheng hook, and the spikes on it were faintly glowing with cold light, and rushed forward with Chu Mofeng.
The crossbow archers in the third echelon always stared at the battlefield, and as the pikes charged together, the crossbows in their hands were already ready to fire, and the archers behind them stopped within the range of fire, only to hear Chu Mofeng shouting in front of them: "Five hundred steps ahead to throw two rounds." ”
All the archers raised their longbows to the sky in unison, only to hear two 'buzz' sounds, and two waves of arrows totaling two hundred arrows drew a parabola in the air and shot towards Xue Rengao's army on the opposite side.
With the continuous screams, Xue Rengao's front army ate all the two rounds of arrows, and those who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground and wailed. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng shouted behind him: "Bypass the fallen person and charge." With that, he flicked the horse's head and flicked his tail in front of the man who fell to the ground.
As Chu Mofeng led the Tiance army to continue to rush and kill, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others behind him quickly led their soldiers and horses to expand the results of the battle, and a big battle was killed from early morning to the end of noon.
And Xue Rengao himself was dragged away from the battlefield by his own soldiers in the melee and fled for his life in the direction of Longyou.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield to prevent Xue Rengao from suddenly killing the horse pistol. Chu Mofeng, on the other hand, rushed into the city with the Tiance Army behind him and quickly occupied all the main facilities.
Except for a few who were slightly wounded, none of the three hundred Heavenly Commanders were reduced, and everyone was stained with the blood of the enemy, especially the fifty who were armed with maces, and the thick maces were now stained with the enemy's debris.
Looking at the Tiance Army formed in front of him, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Everyone, today's battle has completely played the prestige of the Tiance Army, from now on, you only need to train according to my requirements, and I guarantee that you will become famous in the world in the future." ”
Seeing that Li Shimin had already rushed to the front of everyone, Chu Mofeng said to him earnestly: "You handed over these three hundred people to me at the beginning, and now I will train them for you and return them to you, as for the newly recruited, I will continue to train and strive to supplement you as soon as possible." ”
Looking at the Tiance army in front of them, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin laughed......
There is a way that Tiance scared Xue Rengao's courage in the first battle, and seeing Xue Ju leading the troops to attack, the people of the world hurriedly met the battle, the army fell into death, and Mo Feng entered the game to relieve the siege. If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown......
