Chapter 73: The war drums of Youzhou are silent
Li Xiaobai held the token given to him by Wen Wan in his hand, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
This is a knife-shaped token with the words "Shen Xingji" engraved on the front and "walking" engraved on the back!
"Big brother, this is yours?"
"Well, when I was in Chang'an City, the master passed it on to me!"
"Okay, big brother, big sister, it seems that I am destined to be your little brother!"
Li Xiaobai has accepted his fate.
"My master is a descendant of Li Jianchen, the crown prince who was overthrown by Wuzong, and has been living in Longshan. ”
Li Xiaobai didn't expect that there were so many secrets in it, not only Mr. Taibai, but also for the three clans of Longshan, there were also a lot of secrets.
"Saber walking, the original intention is that my master can enter and exit the palace at will, and the Tang Empire can walk at will. It wasn't until later that the Guan Long remnants appeared, and the emperor asked the master to investigate, so he established the Shen Xing Division, and my master became the executioner. ”
Wen Wan thought of Mr. Taibai, and when she thought of never seeing each other again, she was also sentimental.
"Don't be sad, Mr. Taibai has reached that realm, and now it is the goal he has been pursuing, and he was only troubled by the world before. ”
"Well, I understand. Yanyu Building, do you remember? Master Yuanjue, the head hall master of Yanyu Building, was the sixth disciple of Lu Linfeng in the Daoyi League that year. ”
Wen Wan eased up and continued.
"Yanyulou was originally a hall of the Daoyi League, named Yanyutang, responsible for collecting intelligence, ten years ago my second uncle Wen Hengyang and Lu Linfeng were killed, Yanyutang broke away from the Daoyi League, changed its name to Yanyulou, and has been transmitting information to my master all these years. ”
"Alas, how powerful the Moral League was back then!"
Li Xiaobai sighed.
......
Not long after Li Xiaobai, Wen Wan and others crossed the Yellow River, they received a message from Yanyulou.
"The military situation in Youzhou is urgent, the general Xiao Chaotian announced that he has entered a state of imminent war, and frequently dispatches the Zhenbian army, adjacent to Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Xiangzhou, and other adjacent states, has been taken over by the garrison of the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, more than half a month, less than seven days, and the Zhenbian army will inevitably go south. ”
Li Xiaobai was taken aback, and he didn't expect that after the general Xiao Chaotian returned to Youzhou from Chang'an City, he began to dispatch troops in full swing, and the speed exceeded expectations.
"I wonder if the emperor has received the post report?"
"It should be about the same time as we will receive it, but it's inevitable!"
Everyone's mood became very heavy, although they all knew that the general Xiao Chaotian was going to rebel, but this day really came, and no one would feel relaxed.
"150,000 Zhenbian troops! The damage to the Tang Empire is immeasurable!"
Li Xiaobai felt uneasy, in Yiping County before, although it was very close to Youzhou, and from time to time he could see a few soldiers from the border of the town, but he didn't feel anything.
It's like being in the game and not knowing it, and when I met Wen Wan, I jumped out of it, and when I arrived in Chang'an City, I realized how serious the situation was, but now no one has the power to return to the sky!
"These people, just for their own selfish interests, ignore the people of the world, it is really difficult to atone for their sins!"
Li Xiaobai before meeting Wen Wan, he was content with the status quo, although he was poor, he felt very happy. This is also the living state of many people in the Tang Empire, because he knows too well, so Li Xiaobai also hates these people who harm the people even more!
......
The general Xiao Chaotian set up a marching battalion in Youzhou, and he served as the generalissimo of the marching army of the townside army, and began to dispatch the townside army.
The brave general Shi Zhenyi served as the deputy marshal of the marching army of the town border army, leading 40,000 town border troops to guard the border of the metropolitan governor's jurisdiction in Youzhou.
The volunteer general Yuwen Feiyang served as the deputy marshal of the march of the Zhenbian Army, and led 30,000 Zhenbian troops out of Yunzhou in the west.
King An Yong and general Xiao Chaotian led 80,000 town border troops as the main force south.
......
The army on the edge of the town is huge and passionate!
The general Xiao Chaotian and Yuwen Feiyang, the first warrior of the Zhenbian Army, were called to Beijing not long ago, and were slandered by those dirty officials in the capital and discriminated against by the confused emperor.
When all countries came to the court, Yuwen Feiyang, the first warrior of the Zhenbian Army, was insulted in front of the envoys of all countries in the world, which was equivalent to insulting the 150,000 Zhenbian Army!
Therefore, everyone is extremely hostile to those moths of the Tang Empire, and looks down on the garrisons in other places from the bottom of their hearts, including the most glorious Shenwu Army in the Tang Empire, which is just a group of gentlemen!
So, now it's time for the soldiers and soldiers on the edge of the town to regain their dignity!
The hearts of every soldier in the border army of the town are full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the early arrival of the soldiers in Chang'an City!
......
General Xiao Chaotian and military advisor Yan Danqing are strategizing, and now their morale is flourishing, and they are finally about to break out after years of enduring humiliation!
The countries that had reached an agreement with the great general Xiao Chaotian also began to act.
The Shuofang army of Lingzhou Governor Ge Shuye, Chen Chongbing was on the border of the Tang Empire, because Tubo, Mole, and Dajin, who had been peaceful for several years, suddenly began to dispatch troops and horses.
The Nanshao Kingdom of Nanling, as well as other tribes, are also ready to move.
Pirates have gradually begun to run rampant along the coast of the East China Sea, and even some islands not too far from the mainland line have been occupied by some powerful pirates.
The front line of the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which was defended by the Zhenbian Army, ushered in the 20,000 allied troops of the Dajin State and the Great Liao State, of which 10,000 were assigned to the command of the general Xiao Chaotian, and the other 10,000 were incorporated under the command of the volunteer general Yuwen Feiyang. Only the Blackwater Kingdom did not move.
......
The Tang Empire seemed to have fallen into an embattled situation overnight, and military information from all over the country continued to enter the capital.
Prime Minister Yang Hanwen is passionate and generous.
"Xiao Chaotian's guy has finally revealed his true colors! He is just a capricious, despicable and shameless villain! Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to send troops to exterminate it as soon as possible! Other countries are just trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire to rob, as long as the town border army is wiped out, the other countries will naturally withdraw their troops!"
Emperor Qiyuan also did not feel that the Tang Empire was in an irreparable life-and-death situation, with only 150,000 border troops and more than 800,000 soldiers in the Tang Empire.
The emperor ordered that the Lingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Hedong Provincial Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Yanhai Provincial Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Hejian Dao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which are adjacent to the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, dispatch garrisons to defend the Zhenbian Army from going south, and after a period of time, the Zhenbian Army will be demoralized, and then gather heavy troops, which can naturally be easily quelled.
Xiao Chaotian and the Zhenbian Army are just local princes who have seized one side, and the Tang Empire's army is powerful, how can they make waves of trouble!
It's just that Emperor Qiyuan didn't remember that a large part of the military might of the Tang Empire was fought by the Zhenbian army!
These garrisons in the mainland have been comfortable for too long!
There has been no war in the interior for hundreds of years, and the vast majority of these garrisons have never been on the battlefield, and the soldiers who have not experienced the trials and tribulations of life and death are compared with the soldiers of the townside army who have been on the battlefield for a long time?
......
In the 482nd year of the Tang Empire, the 33rd year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, on February 2, the dragon raised its head.
On this day, General Xiao Chaotian showed his hideous face!
King An Yong, the governor of Youzhou, and the general Xiao Chaotian, issued a text: Emperor Qiyuan was admonished, Chang'an City killed the traitor Yang Hanwen, rectified the dynasty, and supported the right way!
On the same day, the military situation had not yet reached Chang'an City, and Mrs. Chengguo looked at the north from afar, worrying about Li Xiaobai, no one knew, and the next day was her birthday.
