In Hezhong Mansion, the entire Jiedu Yamen was immersed in a murderous atmosphere. Hundreds of armored soldiers were fully equipped and guarding them. Especially inside and outside the lobby, the Hezhong Yamen were even more murderous.
"Is this a book made by the little emperor himself?" In the hall, Li Shouzhen weighed the album pages in his hands in front of Hedong Civil and Military Affairs, and sneered as he stared at the angel standing alone in the hall.
"As a human minister, how dare you be rude to Your Majesty?" The envoy was a middle-aged scribe with a short beard and a Confucian look, but he seemed to be a bit stubborn. He was deep in the land of tigers and wolves, but he still did not forget to ask questions with courtesy.
Li Shouzhen.
Li Shouzhen smiled disdainfully and stared at the envoy with contempt: "The little emperor wants to use this method to make me surrender?"
Seeing Li Shouzhen's arrogance, the envoy said solemnly: "Under the imperial government, please move your Majesty to Jinzhou!"
Hearing this, his disdain grew stronger, and he ordered someone to bring a brazier and throw the book into it in front of everyone.
The messenger glared angrily.
Seeing the book-making going from slow to urgent and being swallowed up by the flames, Li Shouzhen turned his head and stared at the envoy with a murderous look: "When Feng Dao was here with me, he had to be careful to apologize. How dare you, a sour scholar, be so arrogant in front of me?"
,Not afraid of death?"
Seeing this, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of the envoy, his lips trembled slightly, his neck was raised, and he said loudly: "If you dare to kill angels without permission, you can give the imperial court a reputation as a master. Why should I die?"
"I didn't expect that in such a court, the emperor would have a loyal minister like you who is not afraid of death." Hearing his words, Li Shouzhen seemed to be a little emotional, sighed at him, and said seriously: "In that case, I will help you, just as you are.
But, rise up and sacrifice the flag for me!"
Immediately, in the slightly horrified eyes of the envoy, he called to the tooth soldiers and pulled him down to deal with it. Soon, with a scream, the head was presented, holding the bloody head high, and stood in front of the handsome case.
, Li Shouzhen said sternly: "The matter has come to this, and there is no way out. I have decided to launch troops as soon as possible to fight against the injustice!"
"We are willing to follow the commander-in-chief and raise an army!" the civil and military officials present in the river shouted in unison. This was probably the last time they shouted loudly and neatly.
On the twelfth day of the seventh month in the autumn of the first year of Qianyou, Li Shouzhen, the governor of Hezhong Jiedu, rebelled against Puzhou and named himself King of Qin. He made a public appeal to the world and summoned heroes from all walks of life to fight against the "violent Han".
After the rebellion, the first thing Li Shouzhen did was to send someone to contact his two buddies in Tongzhou and Huazhou. He also sent his son Li Chongxun and Yajiang Wang Jixun to lead an army of 10,000 people southward towards Fenglingjin, hoping to follow the established goal.
, crossed the river and went south to capture Tongguan.
Then, he hit his head and was bleeding.
On the south bank of Fenglingjin, on the ferry, there was a row of fortifications connected together. It seemed to be a temporary construction, but it showed its fangs. A burst of strong cheers broke out in the meantime, they had just won another small victory.
The river under the stronghold was in a mess visible to the naked eye. Some destroyed boats, sampans and corpses were floating down the river, while more rebels under the banner of the Pu Army were retreating to the north bank in embarrassment.
Looking upstairs, Yang Ye saw the hurried rebels. There was a hint of doubt in his calm face: "Pu Jun is so ignorant of military strategy that he came here to die. Is there some conspiracy to confuse me and make me
Did the army relax its vigilance?"
Following Wang Jun's defeat of the Shu army, he was in sole control of Tongguan for several months. After a series of experiences, it was clear that Yang Ye had grown greatly compared to the past. Just from the calm and thoughtful look on his face, one can tell .
On the Pu Army side, after Li Chongxun and Wang Jixun led the troops to Fenglingjin, they had no time to adjust. They urged their officers and men to board the boats and rush towards the official and military camp on the south bank, hoping to seize the South Beach and enter Tongguan City. It's skillful.
As a nail arranged by Liu Chengyou in Guanyou, Yang Ye was very conscientious and kept an eye on the situation in the river all the time. Upon hearing the change, he immediately led people to respond quickly and led 1,500 archers to garrison the already built Defending the camp. The rebels rushed recklessly. They used small boats and rafts on the river. They were a group of living targets. They were easily shot back by the officers and soldiers with only bows and arrows.
Wang Jixun organized three waves of attacks in succession, all of which ended in failure, with five or six hundred troops lost. On the official and army side, that is, the officers and soldiers had sore arms and spent some time on their bows and arrows. During this period, Liu Chengyou came from Tokyo to Tongguan supported a lot of military supplies, and the reserve of arrows was quite abundant.
This time, Pu's army seemed to have finally learned its lesson and huddled on the other side, setting up camp and not daring to attack rashly again.
Standing next to Yang Ye is a scribe, wearing an official robe and a military armor. He looks nondescript. This person is Zhao Xiuji, who took refuge in Tongguan. He was recommended by Yang Ye to review the situation based on his past performance. Anyway, Liu Chengyou simply made him the deputy envoy of the Tong'an Army to assist Yang Ye.
"Li Shouzhen misemployed people." Seeing Yang Ye's suspicion, Zhao Xiuji was filled with emotion and disdain, and explained to Yang Ye: "Li Chongxun has mediocre talents, has no talent for general affairs, and has no military experience. He only worships Li Shouzhen because of his birthplace." Commander. As for Wang Jixun, he is brave when he is brave, but he is reckless and has no strategy. If he charges in a battle formation, it may have miraculous effects, but he can fight with a unified army..."
Zhao Xiuji had almost said everything. Yang Ye thought about it and said, "So, I am worrying too much?"
"It is the behavior of a good general to be cautious and prudent when envoys handle the important pass of Tongguan!" Zhao Xiuji complimented from the side.
Yang Ye had already grown a beard. He was stroking it subconsciously and looking at the other side: "Look at the thieves on the other side, there are about tens of thousands of them. Li Shouzhen has sent half of Pu's army!"
"As far as I know, the rebels are only a little stronger than the four thousand river warriors. The rest are newly recruited miscellaneous people with low combat power."
"You can tell its situation just by looking at its uneven flags and chaotic military situation." Yang Ye murmured: "This general is determined to lead the men who are willing to die and cross north to counterattack to test his strength!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiuji's expression changed and he hurriedly persuaded: "You can't use military envoys! After this battle, the thieves' power was slightly weakened, but after all, there are so many people. At the moment, we must guard Tongguan and control this choke point until the imperial court calms down." The most important thing is to rebel against the arrangements!"
After working with Yang Ye for some time, Zhao Xiuji recognized his general's talents and understood why the imperial court dared to hand over Tongguan to him for garrison. However, since he was young after all, he was afraid that Yang Ye would be eager to make meritorious deeds.
After listening to his advice, Yang Ye waved his hand and smiled suddenly: "Don't worry, sir, I can still tell the difference between what is light and what is serious."
Seeing this, Zhao Xiuji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about Yang Ye's calmness in organizing the army and setting up defenses during this period, he couldn't help but blame himself for worrying too much.
Looking at the sky, Yang Ye pondered for a while and said: "It's already late, and the rebels should not make any more moves. This is a choke point. Our army only needs to occupy Nandu, even if their strength is doubled.
, it is also difficult to easily overcome. The defense here is left to Mr. Zhao. We will take the opportunity to strengthen the shore defense tonight. In addition, be more vigilant to avoid its night attack!"
After hearing Yang Ye's arrangement, Zhao Xiuji was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to do when the military envoy entrusts me with a heavy responsibility?"
"There are still worries about the future, and there is no room for loss in Guancheng!" Yang Ye looked to the west.

Looking westward, Zhao Xiuji said thoughtfully: "You are Hou Zhang who is concerned about Huazhou!"
Yang Ye took a deep breath and said confidently: "The emperor and the court have already been prepared for the rebellion in Hezhong. Duke Baigong of Jingzhao and Duke Zhao of Shaanxi will send troops soon. We only need to defend Guancheng."
