When the city was initially brought under control, it was already close to dawn.
He Lianyan was looking for someone, "Where is Tian Qi?"
Jielong went to inquire about it and came back and said, "He said he was going to open the city gate."
"Where are the people?"
A group of people are looking around.
"Here."
Helianyan heard the sound and went over.
The light of dawn shone on the city walls and also on the ground.
Tian Qi was lying there on his side, with his back covered with arrows, looking like a hedgehog.
There was still a smile on his lips, but it was a little stiff. There seemed to be a look of longing in his eyes.
Helianyan walked over slowly.
Behind him, Jielong said: "Tian Qi is one of the first batch of old people. When we sent people to Tanzhou, he was the first to recommend himself. He said that he wanted to make a meritorious service and go to southern Xinjiang to see...see..."
"Little lady." He Lianyan said the next words for him.
"Yes." Jie Long was a little sad, "He is a good person and cheerful. All the brothers like him."
More than ten people from the Imperial Guard stood behind He Lianyan and looked at Tian Qi.
He Lianyan said: "Who is in his family?"
Jielong said: "My parents are still alive, and I have a brother who just got married. I have a sister who has been married for several years. He himself... has been married for three years, and the child was only born last year."
He Lianyan said: "From today on, his family is the family of my Jin Yiwei. He must be comforted every year. Anyone who bullies his family will be the enemy of my Jin Yiwei and will never stop fighting."
"yes."
"Also, is Tian Qi's child a boy or a girl?"
"son."
"When you are older, you will be sent to study. If you can read well, it is best. If you cannot read well, I, Jinyiwei, will take over. If you can read well, you will be willing to join Jinyiwei, and you will be promoted to the third level."
"yes."
Helianyan lowered his head.
Behind him, Jielong and Shiyu Jinyiwei lowered their heads.
The morning light emerged and shone brightly on this group of people.
It also shined on Tian Qi.
Later, He Lianyan raised his head and said, "Light a fire and take his bones and his soul back! Send them to the Martyrs' Shrine."
"yes."
He Lianyan finally said: "Brother Tian, have a good trip."
She immediately entered the city.
"Ms. Helian, Miss Helian!"
One of the guards called to her, "Master calls for you."
He Lianyan entered the county house.
Yang Xuan was sitting in the lobby, eating steamed buns.
"Yan! Have you eaten?"
"Didn't eat."
"Give her a bowl."
The buns are very simple, even vary in thickness, and some are uncooked.
Everyone got a big bowl. Song Zhen looked at the bowl and felt that he couldn't finish it.
But seeing that everyone was like this, I couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't fought in many years, so I have forgotten that one meal is a meal."
After eating the buns, Yang Xuan said: "I just learned from the torture that He Lianrong is preparing to send troops to attack the southern part of the town in three days."
Everyone glanced at Xin Wuji.
"Now that the troops in Tanzhou City are well equipped, He Lianrong will not sit back and watch. However, whether he will come as soon as he hears the news or wait a little longer depends on his courage."
Song Zhen said: "How is this person?"
Han Ji said: "There are hills and valleys in the chest."
Song Zhen said: "In this case, I won't come right away."
He found that everyone was looking at him blankly.
It seems that I have some advice for Zitai.
…
At dawn, He Lianrong summoned everyone to discuss matters as usual.
"Your Majesty, the food and fodder are all ready."
"good."
"The army is gathering, the old and the weak are being eliminated from the army, and the rest are left to look after the family." Chen Faxiang said.
He Lianrong nodded, "Okay."
Finally, he took everyone on a patrol.
"Here facing Chenzhou, the mountains and rivers have always made it difficult to hold on. No matter how strong the city is, it will fall one day. The decline most likely starts from within.
Therefore, the drills must be serious, and secondly, the people must not be treated too harshly, otherwise once the enemy troops come to the city, the army will have no fighting spirit and the people will complain, and they will be beaten with just one drum."
"What you said is true."
"However, even Yang Gou would not dare to attack a fortified city like Tanzhou."
Everyone laughed.
Last time, Yang Xuan defeated the Tanzhou Army and then withdrew. This is an example.
He Lianrong smiled, it is not a bad thing for his subordinates to be confident.
A young-looking general said: "Why didn't we take the initiative in the past?"
Everyone glanced at him, and Jin Ze smiled, "The Duke of Haojiao learned that the direction of Tanzhou was to maintain ties in the past. This was the strategy set by the late emperor."
The young man's name is Helian Luo, and he is close to the current emperor He Lianchun. Originally, He Lianfeng was unknown when he was in power. After He Lianchun ascended the throne, the family flourished.
Before this man came to Tanzhou, he was granted the title of Duke of the State, and he could be said to be extremely popular.
He Lian Luo came to Tanzhou to gain experience. He asked for battle many times, but was suppressed by He Lian Rong.
"But that's the late emperor." Helianluo smiled happily.
The big mountain that was weighing on my head is gone, and I feel relieved.
"Whether we want to send troops or not, we need Ning Xing's permission." He Lianrong hesitated.
He doesn't like these young people who rely on their blood to rise to power. They are Duke Cheng at such a young age. What achievements do they have?
There is nothing, just reincarnation.
Jin Ze whispered: "Your Majesty, this person is known as a dragon or a phoenix among people in the Ningxing clan. He has performed well in martial arts several times."
He Lianrong nodded.
Helian Luo snorted coldly, "It's just to avoid fighting! This attack only targets the southern part of the town, but we don't dare to take a peek at Chenzhou."
grass!
Everyone was secretly angry, but it was hard to scold him.
Some people couldn't help it and said sadly, "Do you dare, Mr. Cheng Guo?"
Helian Luo sneered, "If Yang Gou dares to come, I will show you what a Daliao warrior is!"
He Lianrong coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Cheng is heroic."
"Enemy scout found!"
The bell suddenly rang at the top of the city.
"Go and have a look."
When everyone went to the top of the city, they saw hundreds of horsemen heading towards the city in front of them.
"alert!"
"Prepare to attack."
The top of the city is on guard, and the cavalry is being summoned below the city.
The number of enemy troops is small, so there is no need to close the city gate.
Ta-ta-ta!
The enemy troops are getting closer and closer.
When he saw the familiar fat one and the thin one, He Lianrong couldn't help but cursed: "It's Yang Xuan's dog, Wang Laoer!"
Wang Laoer led his men to arrive, looked at the city and shouted: "Hey! Pick someone up!"
Um?
Everyone in the city was startled.
Wang Laoer waved, and a horse came over carrying a man leaning on its back.
Wang Laoer slapped the horse on the back and turned the horse around - the sound of horse hooves came from the city. If you don't move, you don't have to leave.
"Walk!"
From the city gate, a group of cavalry rushed out.
The first one was Helian Luo.
"Chase!"
They divided their troops into two groups and chased Wang Lao'er all the way... Someone at the top of the city shouted: "Capture Wang Lao'er alive, and the reward is 50,000 yuan. Kill Wang Lao'er, and get 30,000 yuan!"
To Beiliao, Wang Laoer's head was more valuable than that of Shang Shang, and even more valuable than Nanhe's.
Someone at the top of the city said: "The reward is a bit high."
Jin Ze said calmly: "I bet that Ning Xing is willing to pay 200,000 yuan to put a reward on Wang Laoer's head."
Tanzhou was poor, so he paid 50,000 yuan.
Wang Laoer took hunting heads as his duty in every battle, which made the officers and soldiers of the Northern Liao Army feel frightened. Every time he saw the two sergeants, one fat and one thin, and every time he saw the elegant sack, the soldiers' morale became confused.
Chen Faxiang said: "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo led his army to pursue him."
"Oh!" He Lianrong took a look and said, "Just go! You'll come back halfway."
They were talking about Helian Luo.
He Lianrong said: "Wang Laoer is here, Yang Gou is not far away. Be on guard, the whole city is on guard!"
Clang clang clang!
When the bell rang, Chen Faxiang said: "Your Majesty, Yang Gou shouldn't attack Tanzhou!"
"You are looking far away from the near." Kanazawa said: "He should continue to attack Neizhou."
A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist!
He Lianrong frowned slightly, but did not scold such remarks, "Our army was just about to set off, but he didn't know this and bumped into us. This time, there is no Zhennan as an internal response. I want to see how he breaks the situation!
"
Under the city, the man being carried on a piggyback was recognized.
"Your Majesty!"
Someone shouted towards the city.
"What's the matter?" He Lianrong asked.
"It's Jin Wan from Yanbei County!"
Jin Wan!
Chen Faxiang's expression changed drastically, "Yang Dog raided Yanbeicheng!"
He Lianrong's expression changed slightly. "What a Yang Gou!"
He breathed quickly, then secretly pinched his palms and said, "The scouts will set off immediately to call Duke Cheng back."
Kanazawa said: "That young and energetic man claims to be invincible, but I'm afraid he won't do it."
Helianrong said solemnly: "Knock him out over there and bring him back."
"yes."
Chen Faxiang asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue sending troops?"
Everyone looked at He Lianrong.
The army is ready to go, but if it doesn't go out, its morale will be damaged.
If Jin Wan appears here during the attack, it means that Yang Gou has taken over Yanbei County, and he will hit him head on if he attacks.
Jin Ze whispered: "Ning Xing hopes that good news will come from Tanzhou."
Since He Lianchun ascended the throne, he has not won a single external victory. This is one of the reasons why Lin Ya and others secretly attacked him.
Helianrong was silent.
Jin Ze lowered his voice, "If we don't fight, someone from Ning Xing will attack the envoy. Lin Ya and others will take advantage of the situation and take action, which will be difficult for Your Majesty."
He Lianrong looked into the distance, "That's Yang Gou. Xiao Hongde from Neizhou boasted in Ningxing that he had no rivals for a while.
Before coming to Neizhou, he once said that the Northern Xinjiang Army in Taoxian County should be suppressed and frightened.
But now, Nangui City has been captured by Yang Gou. It is said that when Yang Gou's banner arrives, the soldiers and people of Neizhou are frightened.
Tell me, who is scared?
Now, Yang Gou has abandoned Neizhou and come to Tanzhou. What is he thinking?
I have just thought carefully about it for a long time. This time I attack, I am planning to destroy the southern part of the town. In this way, I will cut off the meat supply in northern Xinjiang and cut off their largest war horse breeding ground. This is a strategy to eliminate the roots."
He looked at Jin Ze, "But Yang Gou is here to attack Yanbeicheng in a battle. Do you think he has nothing better to do and comes to attack Yanbeicheng for fun?"
Jin Ze shook his head, and a kind of fear made his face turn pale, "What you mean, he is..."
"He broke through Yanbei City. This time, he will not leave again. From then on, Tanzhou was driven into a wedge by him, and all the endless grasslands south of Yanbei belonged to him. From then on, northern Xinjiang was no longer
If there is a shortage of war horses, there will be no shortage of meat."
He Lianrong clenched his right hand tightly and pinched the palm of his hand hard with the long nail of his tail finger. He was completely unaware of the severe pain. Drops of blood slowly dripped down from the palm of his hand.
"He and I thought about it again.
But, this time, it was him who took the lead!"
I hate it so much!
…
Ta-ta-ta!
Wang Laoer fled with more than 300 cavalry.
Helian Luo led more than two thousand cavalry in hot pursuit.
After chasing and escaping, Wang Laoer turned around and cursed: "If you don't leave, I'll turn around."
But this time, the reputation of the human-headed demon did not scare those Northern Liao people.
Helian Luo shouted, "Capture Wang Lao Er alive for 100,000 yuan! I'll add 50,000 yuan!"
Rich people!
Immediately, morale was boosted.
"Capture Wang Lao Er alive and you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand coins!"
"Second brother, you are worth one hundred thousand dollars."
The fat elder felt this was humiliating.
But Wang Laoer drooled, "One hundred thousand dollars! That's a lot!"
He turned around and said, "Let's discuss it. Can we add more?"
This is really teasing us! The pursuers almost vomited blood.
"Kill Mr. Wang, fifty thousand dollars!"
grass!
Wang Laoer shuddered and said, "Run away!"
The thin elder pointed to the left side, "Second brother, look."
Wang Laoer looked sideways and saw a group of cavalry appearing behind the pursuers.
A big flag...
I have such good eyes... Wang Laoer cheered, "Butcher!"
Under the banner, Tu Chang was anxious and raised his spear, "Quickly!"
Wang Laoer turned around and attacked the pursuers with Tu Shang.
The general scolded him as he ran away, "Why did you forget that Yang Dog likes ambushes the most? Get out!"
Helianluo said: "Why retreat?"
The general said: "Mr. Cheng, that is Yang Gou's general Tu Chang. He has a spear... We can't stop him."
Helianluo said angrily: "Yeye's shooting skills are not bad either."
As soon as I said this, the speed slowed down.
"Tu Shang is here."
Helianluo sneered, "Stay here."
He seemed to be running away while dragging his spear, but when Tu Shang was approaching, he suddenly turned back.
The spear pounced like a poisonous snake and pierced him in one go.
Back carbine!
Tu Shang didn't even blink.
Boom!
With a slight block, Helianluo's spear flew out.
Then, Tu Chang moved his hand, and the spear reached Helian Luo's chest.
Helian Luo's face turned pale and his mind went blank.
"Gong Cheng."
The general fled and howled.
He knew that he was finished.
Helian Luo was finished, and the higher authorities needed a scapegoat to vent their anger on Ning Xing, and he was the perfect one.
"Tu Gong, he is rich! He wants to live!"
Wang Laoer shouted happily.
The spear stopped in front of Helian Luo's chest. In order to stop for such a moment, Tu Chang's breath suddenly reversed, his face turned red, and he gasped for a few breaths.
"Dead yet?"
Wang Laoer came to harvest heads.
"Not dead."
The cost of reversing the inner breath is not small, and Tu Shang needs to adjust his breath.
"nineteen!"
"twenty!"
Helian Luo, who was lying in front of Tu Chang, slowly raised his head after hearing this voice.
I saw Wang Laoer charging forward, and heads flying back one after another. The man behind him, one fat and the other thin, skillfully caught the heads and put them in bags.
"withdraw!"
The remnants of the enemy troops fled back to Tanzhou City.
"Where is Duke Cheng Guo?"
What about the clan’s Chollima?
"Your Majesty!"
The general knelt down and said, "Yang Gou arranged for the men and horses to support him halfway, and they attacked from both sides... Duke Cheng was determined to kill the enemy general, so he got a carbine and was captured alive."
He Lianrong shook his body and turned pale, "Mr. Cheng Guo!"
His expression was as sad as if his wife had been captured alive.
Immediately, his eyes became stern, "You idiot!"
The general felt that something was wrong and said, "Your Majesty, it is Duke Cheng who has his own way and insists on hunting down Wang Laoer. His subordinates tried to persuade him but he refused to listen. When he was attacked from a flank, he said that his marksmanship was excellent and he was known as the best in the clan...
…”
matter.
Made it clear.
Everyone present heard it.
He Lianrong shouted, "Kill!"
The general was startled, "Your Majesty has nothing to do with your subordinates! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
After one stab, the world became quiet.
Jin Ze knew that He Lianrong was shirking responsibility, so he killed the person responsible and took out himself.
But it's not enough.
He Lianrong said: "Go to Jinze and talk to Yang Xuanhaosheng about redemption!"
Kanazawa inexplicably remembered the last time he ransomed someone, and ransomed twice in a row.
…
Helianluo was taken to Yanbeicheng.
"Dong Chengguo?"
Yang Xuan was a little curious, "Uncle, is this a wholesale sale of titles?"
Helian Luo looked at him curiously, "Are you the man that the eldest princess likes? You are... more handsome than me."
