Great Qi Dynasty 14
This is not the time to retreat, you must grit your teeth and persevere to the end, suddenly, an extremely familiar cold snort came from the left, it was Lao Lai's voice, he seemed to be hit by an arrow, but Lao Lai did not fall off the horse, but gritted his teeth and moved forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie Tong knew how difficult it was to dodge the arrows in this night, after all, he couldn't see anything, and people without spiritual sense could only listen to the sound and deform, and once there were more sounds, it was quite difficult to distinguish.
He suddenly thought of Hong Shan and Shang Caiwei behind him, their martial arts were completely out of the stream, even Lao Lai was hit by an arrow, how could they have the ability to dodge, thinking of this, he expanded the scope of the spiritual sense release, once he found that there were arrows that endangered the two of them, he immediately used his true qi to knock them out.
After galloping for a while, the brothers approached the enemy's camp in a rain of arrows.
Xie Tong shouted, "Brothers, light the fire." After that, he took the lead in igniting the black oil gunpowder, and watching the fire twist slowly burn, he threw the black oil powder ball out with all his strength, and threw it straight into the enemy's camp.
With a bang, the gunpowder exploded in the enemy camp, and a burst of fire burst out, and a scream was heard, and the flames spread directly to the nearby tent.
As Xie Tong threw the gunpowder, the other brothers followed suit, and the black oil gunpowder flew into the enemy camp one after another, and the explosions came one after another, and the screams were endless, however, the screams were finally drowned out by the explosions, and the fire in the camp was skyrocketing, reflecting the sky red.
The enemy army was completely entrenched in a sea of fire and lost its combat effectiveness.
Everything was much easier than expected, Xie Tong was overjoyed when he saw this, and said, "Brothers, hurry up and rush over with me."
As long as you cross this hurdle, there will be no obstacles.
Xie Tong rushed through the enemy formation first, completely ignoring the flames beside him, and rushed all the way.
In fact, there were not many people who stopped them, and everyone thought of running for their lives, after all, the sea of fire was too terrifying.
About half an hour later, all the soldiers who broke through gathered twenty miles northwest of the enemy's camp.
Xie Tong counted it, the brothers did not lose much, but when they were charging into battle, they lost some people, most of them were still standing here intact, which made him very happy.
Lao Lai said, "Okay, let's go! Don't give the enemy a chance to pursue." ”
Shang Caiwei smiled: "Where are we going!"
Xie Tong smiled and said, "I have long studied, we have to cross the Western Regions, from Sichuan and Tibet to Shuzhong, this is a very difficult road, it will not take a few months, after arriving in Sichuan and Shu, a new life will be opened." Let's go. ”
The army has captured the undefended city gate and occupied the imperial city, at this moment, Chang'an is in the hands of Huang Chao, and the world is waiting for him to sweep, except for the Tang army in Sichuan and Shu, no one dares to resist him.
Accompanied by Zhu Wen and Meng Kai, Huang Chaoqi Yu walked into the Jinluan Palace, and he sat unceremoniously on the throne of the emperor, looking down on the soldiers in the hall.
It was the moment he had always dreamed of, as if the world was under his control.
Meng Kai smiled slightly, and said, "King of Heaven, Chang'an has been broken, the world has been in our bag, this is the prosperity of the ages, the King of Heaven is the first person in ancient and modern China and abroad, the prince should make changes, set up another heart, and his subordinates implore the King of Heaven to be the emperor." ”
The generals under his command immediately said in unison, "I implore the Heavenly King to be the emperor."
Huang Chao immediately smiled, he had almost pocketed most of the land in the world, and what he was waiting for was this moment.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wen coughed and said, "Heavenly King, subordinates think that this matter must not be done, now that the power has changed, the world has been in chaos, and it has not yet been unified, it is not the time to establish a new dynasty, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty has not yet collapsed, the name of the country has not changed, our slogan is only the Qing Jun side and King Qin, once the emperor is called, it will cause the disgust of the people of the world, it is not appropriate to call the emperor, the subordinates suggest that the army should be unified to attack Chengdu, and after the Song Dynasty is eliminated, it is not too late to call the emperor!"
When Huang Chao heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Bold", Meng Kai said angrily, "Zhu Wen, what do you mean, now is a good time to be the emperor, if the king of heaven is called the emperor, the four seas will be obedient, and it will not be too late to attack Chengdu, you are obviously ill-intentioned, nostalgic for the old master, it is simply unreasonable."
"Not bad", Lu Li said, "Heavenly King, Zhu Wen is clearly a master of the eye, regardless of the overall situation, he is a heinous person, and his subordinates suggest that he should be beheaded immediately for public display!"
Zhu Wen glanced at them and said, "Heavenly King, the subordinates are not against being the emperor, but think that the time is not right, the enthronement ceremony should not be hasty, and it will cost money, food, manpower and material resources, at that time, after a long time, it will give the Tang army a chance to counterattack, and the subordinates suggest that they win and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and immediately exterminate the Tang army!"
"Nonsense", Meng Kai said, "Now that Tang Xizong fled to Sichuan and Shu, relying on Song Kui, the king of Shu, Song Kui has been entrenched in Sichuan and Shu for many years, and his strength is strong, and it may be difficult to capture it in the short term, and after the level of the king of heaven, the four seas will return to obedience, I believe that Song Kui will not be so brainless, and he will be recruited at that time, so as to avoid the disaster of war." Kill two birds with one stone, and when we regain our strength, it's not too late to clean him up. His subordinates advised the King to ascend the throne immediately. ”
Suddenly, Lu Li knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”
When the people of the main hall saw this, they knelt down and shouted in the same way.
In the entire hall, only Zhu Wen did not kneel.
Huang Chao looked around for a week, there was indescribable excitement in his heart, he was treated as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it was something that he didn't dare to think, and now it has become a fact, seeing that Zhu Wen is still standing, he said unhappily, "General Zhu, Venerable Meng is very right, the unification of the world is the right way, just Sichuan and Shu are not to worry, this king, ha, I decided to ascend the throne first, and the rest of the things will be said in the future, hahaha!"
Zhu Wen's face became very ugly, and in desperation, he also knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live."
Huang Chao laughed and said, "Venerable Meng, Mr. Lu, the matter of ascending the throne is left to you, and it must be done vigorously, to satisfy me, and to let everyone in the world know that the Tang Dynasty has fallen and a new dynasty has been established!"
Meng Kai flattered, "I don't know what the name of the new dynasty on the Holy is called, and when will the enthronement ceremony be held!"
Huang Chao pondered for a moment, and said, "The name of the country is Daqi! You can choose the specific date of enthronement! Don't forget, I want to amnesty the world."
Meng Kailu said in unison, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do this beautifully, and our subordinates will go and pick an auspicious day for the zodiac to hold Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony!"
Huang Chao smiled slightly, and let out a long sigh of relief, which seemed to be unprecedented satisfaction.
Meng Kai continued, "Your Majesty, when Tang Xizong fled Chang'an, he left in a very hurry, the gold and silver in the treasury had not yet moved, some of the princes and grandsons of the previous dynasty did not follow, and many concubines were left in the harem. ”
Zhu Wen immediately said, "Heavenly King, Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has not yet fallen, and it is a bit inappropriate to reward these harem women to the soldiers, which is against the reputation of our army. ”
Lu Li sneered at each other, "The general's words are wrong, the soldiers of our army fought bloodily and followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, this is the reward they deserve, Tang Xizong is a faint king, misleading the country and the people, and not killing all his concubines, it is already a great gift from the saints, and they are dismissed, do you want them to return to the arms of the faint king?"
Huang Chao was disgusted with Zhu Wen at the moment, and ignored some of his proposals, and said directly, "Put all the princes and grandsons of Tang Xizong to the main hall for me, including those of his concubines, I will personally interrogate!"
Meng Kaixi said: "My Emperor Shengming!"
In a short time, the guards escorted dozens of people to the main hall.
Meng Kai said, "Your Majesty, these are the princes, grandsons, and concubines of the emperor Tang Xizong of the previous dynasty."
Huang Chao squinted his eyes and looked, these people were of different ages, and several of them were really good-looking, he couldn't help but sigh, being an emperor is different, you can have whatever you want.
The dozens of people who came in stood completely in the center of the main hall.
Lu Li scolded, "You are the remnants of the previous dynasty, how can you be so ignorant of the rules, and you still don't kneel down when you see the saint." ”
A man in his thirties suddenly walked out of the crowd, and said in a loud voice, "Just a thief, and dare to say wildly, the saint is now in Sichuan and Shu, and the others are simply ridiculous."
Before the words fell, I saw Meng Kai's right arm raised, and a true qi surged out, and the man flew directly upside down before going out, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Li said, "Dare to be disrespectful to the saint, pull it out and behead it to show the public! Who else is not convinced, just stand up!"
Several soldiers rushed in and dragged the man out, and there was a cry from the crowd, but no one stopped him.
"Don't kneel yet", Meng Kai scolded, "Those who don't kneel, one ends!"
The crowd hesitated, but finally knelt down.
Huang Chao looked quite comfortable, and to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty, it was necessary to take strong measures to restrain them.
He looked at the crowd, waved his hand, called Meng Kai to his side, and said in a low voice, "When I first arrived in the capital, there was no one around to serve me, so you go and pick a few clever women to be my maids." ”
Meng Kai understood and immediately retreated.
Zhu Wen listened to it word for word, and wanted to say it several times, but he stopped talking.
Huang Chao suddenly got up and said, "I'm tired, today's major affairs are discussed here, let's all step down!
Everyone knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live!"
The news of Huangchao's attack on Chang'an spread all over the world, and together with the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, it has spread all over the north and south of the river, and everyone in the world knows about it.
Huang Chao is scheduled to hold an enthronement ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month, announcing to the world, ordering the counties, counties, cities, nobles, merchants, and wealthy people in the world to come to Chang'an to watch the ceremony and offer congratulatory gifts, otherwise it will be condemned as disrespectful and punished as a crime.
Zhu Wen was idle, he was good at marching and fighting, but he didn't know much about this kind of thing, and Huang Chao didn't allow him to attack Sichuan and Shu, he practiced on the front line all day long, and he was quite anxious.
According to the news he obtained, Song Kui, the king of Shu, had welcomed Tang Xizong into Shu, and Song Kui still gathered 150,000 Shu troops to hold the danger, and they had lost the opportunity to attack Sichuan and Shu, and the Tang Dynasty was resurgence like the Anshi Rebellion.
And the counties of the world still do not respect the rule of the new dynasty, and they have risen from all over the country, and the things he expected are happening one by one.
Huangchao has not yet held an enthronement ceremony, and some chaotic little things have followed.
And Xie Tong also had no news, he took some of his men and horses into the Western Regions, which really made Zhu Wen feel bad, in his heart, Xie Tong was a character, but unfortunately he had bad luck and never gave him a chance to grow, he was the same as the Qingyu Sword in his hand, he was a fan.
After Xie Tong and others entered the Western Regions, they tossed and turned, bypassed Jiayu Pass, entered Tibet through Qinghai Lake, and entered Sichuan and Shu from the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and went around a big circle, nearly half a year, after a lot of hardships, before entering the land of Sichuan and Shu, at this moment, it was already the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is still stable, after all, Huangchao has not yet hit.
After leaving the Central Plains for more than half a year, his news has been very closed. Closed to the point of no return, after walking so far, his feeling of the Central Plains is vague, a strange feeling, as if he has never set foot on this land.
After the group entered Sichuan and Shu, Xie Tong issued an order not to disturb the people of Sichuan and Shu, and try to cover up his whereabouts as much as possible, after all, in the past half a year, he didn't know what had happened in the Central Plains, in case the form was unfavorable, with his current strength, I am afraid it would be difficult to deal with the strong Song Kui.
The army marched eastward, and four days later arrived at Yibin, where he had first entered the rivers and lakes.
Xie Tong ordered his brothers to set up camp outside the city, and he went into the city to find out the news.
Lao Lai entered the city with him.
Perhaps because of the war, Yibin is far more lively and prosperous than the Central Plains, after all, the war has not yet burned here.
After the two entered the city, they still followed their usual routine, found the largest hotel, and dined there.
There are several tables of guests on the first floor of the restaurant who are dining, all drinking wine and boasting, Xie Tong listened to it for a long time, but there was no useful news, but he also learned about the current situation.
After Huang Chao captured Chang'an, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was busy in Chang'an to claim the emperor, after a period of time after the emperor, Shandong and Jiangnan rioted, the emperor who had just ascended the throne, must not order Lu Li to lead the people and horses, and forcibly suppressed everywhere, but the effect was not obvious, this side just suppressed, and there was an uprising again, so that Lu Li had to be tired of running for his life, back and forth.
However, Zhu Wen did not move in the Hanzhong area and confronted Song Kui's army, and the two sides were in a stalemate for several months, winning and losing each other.
Xie Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, he secretly scolded Huang Chao in his heart for being stupid, the world has not yet been unified, and the Tang Dynasty has not yet collapsed, so he is in a hurry to become the emperor, losing the great opportunity to go south, and brewing the current embarrassing situation.
However, Xie Tong wanted to know more than that, he was eager to know the current situation of Li Zheng and the others, whether they were still noble as the prince, supported by Song Kui, and favored by Tang Xizong.
Xie Tong glanced at Lao Lai, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk, they left Yibin.
After returning to the camp, Xie Tong called everyone to his camp tent and said, "It seems that we are going to Chengdu for a trip."
Hong Shan clapped her hands and said happily, "Shan'er hasn't been to Chengdu for a long time, and in the past few years, she has been missing Chengdu's strange feelings." (To be continued.) )
