Chapter 279 Brothers

After the hot sun disappeared, the sky was dark and heavy rain was coming.

On the streets of Chang'an, there were noises and galloping horses galloping. The knights carrying official documents waved their whips and shouted loudly to others who passed by to hide. The pedestrians standing along the street watched, were separated, and their faces were panicked and whispered about the upcoming war, saying that the Shatuoman from the north had led his troops to the south. Your Majesty, King Liang was crossing the Yellow River north.

In the dullness before the heavy rain, many people were also in great pain. The rich households in the city had already shown signs of leaving Luoyang and Bianzhou to the south. In less than two days, a large number of soldiers came from each household. Officials who collected food and fodder and paid taxes came in with their deadly books and judges. The rich households who did not obey the order were then jailed and their family property was confiscated, and even their families were not spared.

At this time, some officials in the court were also charged with many charges and were taken to Caishikou and cut off their heads with a knife in front of the onlookers.

The people who did not understand the charges only thought they were corrupt officials in the court, and they all applauded excitedly. However, the taxes raised from the war soon fell on them.

Those who could not take out money or food were fodder, and the young and strong family took out their homes to escort the military porters and transported supplies and other items. In three days, 30,000 young and strong people gathered and drove out of the city in a mighty manner.

In the court, there were some people who advocated the war from Shatuo to Zezhou, and there were also voices of opposition. The two sides had a quarrel for two or three days, and even started to fight, and the head was bleeding. King Zhu Wen of Liang waved his hand, and the opposing officials were pulled down. Soon, they were brought to the court again, leaving only a few bloody heads placed in the wooden plate, which scared Li Qi, who was only thirteen years old, collapsed on the dragon throne. Queen Mother He was also scared and her body was trembling.

As the court controversy northward went to Zezhou, a large number of troops in Luoyang and Bianzhou began to gather together with food and fodder and armor. The east and west fields of the two cities had become schoolyards at this time. From time to time, you can see teams of ready-made teams starting from the barracks and gathering here.

At this time, in Luoyang City, a carriage and dozens of cavalry were following the street to the West City Gate.

The cavalry has a sword and a black armor, a horn bow and a quiver behind the waist, and a spear in his hand, and riding on the horse's back. Now, he is not an ordinary official.

"Has the letter from home been sent?"

In the carriage driving in front of the team, Geng Qing was in a straight posture, wearing a purple green official robe, a goldfish bag hanging on his waist, and a sword placed at his feet a few feet. He was gracefully lying on the side, leaning warm water, and glanced at Jiuyu, who was sitting cross-legged with his arms, nodding, "I asked all the fish to take it back to Chang'an yesterday, and I promised 100 taels of silver. I felt so distressed."

"What can I feel sorry for if I can solve it with money? Besides, the copper coins in this world are worthless."

Hearing this, Jiuyu on the other side didn't care about these words. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man.

"If your brother can't persuade him and insists on starting a war, how are you going to solve the problem?"

The carriage swayed, Geng Qing held the water cup smoothly, put it on his lips without any serious trouble and took a sip.

"I can still kill you. I am a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Not to mention, I feel so bad. In fact, I am worried that I am still willing to see me if I am in front of the formation."

"Will be suspicious."

"Well, the leading general is just a taboo when he sees his brothers in the enemy camp." Geng Qing shook his head and sighed: "Over the years, Cunxiao has no longer looked like Feihu County at that time. His temperament has become a bit wild, probably because of the invincibility in the world. I have a lot of feelings about this."

"It's true that you are invincible in the world." Jiuyu looked up and down disdainfully, then turned her face away, unwilling to look at it any more.

The two of them stopped talking and the carriages quietly drove out of the city gate. Soon after, two miles away, the cavalry ran and rolled up long smoke. The figures of black people gathered, densely packed and could not see the end at a glance.

The cavalry running in the distance divided into a team of twenty people and came towards this side. Geng Qing lifted the curtain and walked out. The knight in charge had his beard floating on his chest, his face was square, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were big, and he hung a moon-shaped knife upside down, and he raised his knife and held his fists on the horse's back.

"Yang Huaixiong, Longxiang Army, paid a visit to the military supervisor."

“Add to the list.”

Geng Qing raised his hand and responded softly. The tall man nodded, grabbed the big knife with his hand, turned the horse's head with a bridle, led twenty cavalry back, and led the cavalry of thousands back to the dark army.

"The commander-in-chief, why do you treat the military supervisor so politely..." The confidant who was recruited not long ago did not know who the young man on the carriage was. In my impression, the commander-in-chief was not even welcomed by King Liang.

"It's my Bole who knows that we are a great kindness!"

Yang Huaixiong stood in front of the formation, turned his head to look at the chariots and horses coming along the official road, and his beard was gently stroking in the wind, "... Yang was born in a humble and cold family. He claimed to have a strong force and knew the military tactics, but he was dissatisfied with the world. Later, he was able to gain a foothold after he was appointed as the chief inspector of the Ministry of Justice. After years of going, he realized that he was just a frog in the well. If it were not for the Shangshu Ling's appreciation, would Yang have the status of this today?"

Thinking of these past events made him sigh. Even if he knew that it was just a chess piece, it was much better than even a chess piece. Thinking about the people in the past, Wang Feiying, who was just a small fight and drowned in a corner, and was cut off by him, was just a clown who drifted away in the clouds and mist.

The chessboard of heaven and earth, the chess pieces have never been cut off, and many heroes have emerged.

The wind blew across the field, and countless banners were flying. Yang Huaixiong turned around and looked into the sky in the distance. King Liang had already walked up, pressed his sword and raised his fist.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Countless figures raised their weapons and slapped them. Yang Huaixiong couldn't help but feel excited. He tightened the hilt of the knife and raised it over his shoulder.

With the last sound, he was hysterical and shouted: "Kill--"

The sound shook the world.

Geng Qing stood in the chariot and watched the scene with his hands behind his back. Zhu Wen could stand out from Huang Chao's army and capture this huge territory, which was unique.

On the high platform in the distance, the burly body shouted: "Go to the expedition!"

Geng Qing raised his hand and arched off the carriage. With the help of others, he turned over the horse's back. After all, it would be ridiculous to get on the carriage again when he arrived in the army.

"Dachun, you don't have to follow me this time. Call Shi Tou and the others. After the army set off, you can quietly transfer some of the things you need in the mansion to the outside of the city and then send them back to your home in Chang'an."

"Dazhu, aren't you still worried about me? My father often praises me for being smart, so how could he get a false reputation?"

Dachun slapped his chest in front of the horse to ensure that Geng Qing nodded, took the team, then went over to say goodbye to Zhu Wen, and after a greeting and talking, he set out with Yang Shihou, a commander to recruit Yang Shihou.

Previously, Wang Yanzhang was the pioneer and, as early as yesterday morning, he ordered five thousand horses to go to the south bank of the Yellow River first.

.........

In early August, when two troops from Luoyang and Bianzhou, a total of 50,000 troops gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River, Zezhou, which had long been lost, was under the attack of Li Keyong's siege.

Because of the heavy rain for two consecutive days, the war stopped, and the patrols outside and the preparations for siege continued. The mounds within three miles of Zezhou were cut down and barely cut down. Under the heavy rain, the yellow mud mixed with rainwater flowed down the mountain.

In the blue rain curtain, outside the camp that stretched for miles, Shatuo cavalry wearing straw raincoats shouted and galloped in the rain. Li Cunxiao was wearing armor all over his shoulders and necks, and occasionally looked at the city walls standing on the rain curtain, with their eyes full of heat.

After several days of attack, it's time to fight.

"General, King Jin calls you back!"

Li Cunxiao, who was watching the city wall being a little tragic, turned around and a horseman who came out of the military camp clasped his fists in the rain. He frowned: "Why did King Jin call me?"

"I don't know, but I heard from my brothers outside that Luoyang and Bianzhou have sent troops to cross the Yellow River."
