"Really? Then listen carefully, General Li. I remember that back then you and your wife, Hong Fu Nu, and Qiu Bearded Guest became brother and sister and persuaded Qiu Bearded Guest to give up your ambition to fight for the world. After Qiu Bearded Guest gave hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the general helped you today.
The emperor unites the world, can this matter be used as evidence for what the boy said?"
Hearing that Qin Wenyuan told such a secret thing between himself and his sworn brother, Li Jing almost agreed with what Qin Wenyuan said, but he did not expect that his sworn brother's family had been around him for a long time without knowing it. If he did not listen to what Qin Wenyuan said today and
If a war breaks out, if there are only casualties or the sworn brother's sister is shocked, then he really has no face to meet his sworn brother. I am afraid that even if his wife finds out about it when he returns home, he will not break up with him.
"well……!"
After a long sigh, Li Jing said helplessly.
"Boy, let's go! Ask the old lady how she is on Li Jing's behalf. If you see my sworn brother, please invite him to come to Chang'an City to meet a certain family. You, boy, wish yourself well and take care of yourself!"
After speaking, Li Jing ordered the army to stop moving, but saw thousands of cavalry coming in like the wind and retreating like the tide.
Looking at Li Jing leading his army to retreat, Qin Wenyuan exhaled a long breath. If his mother had not come to Chang'an City to tell him about her life experience, I am afraid that his personal guards would have started fighting with Li Jing's army. Even if
His subordinates possess weapons that are beyond this era, but it is not easy for a few hundred people to fight against thousands of cavalry in such an urgent situation without fortifications as cover.
It turned out that Qin Wenyuan's mother Qiuniang was the eldest daughter of Zhang Jiling, the richest man in Yangzhou City. When Qiuniang was ten years old, Zhang Jiling had a son named Zhang Zhongjian. When Zhang Zhongjian grew up to four or five years old, his face became increasingly ugly, which made Zhang Jiling very angry.
Unfortunately, if Qiu Niang hadn't always protected this ugly younger brother, Zhang Zhongjian might have died at the hands of those evil slaves in the Zhang Mansion who hated him.
There is a saying: when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. Although Zhang Zhongjian is ugly, he is born with the ability to practice martial arts. This makes the Kunlun slave who Qiu Niang secretly assigned to protect her brother happy. However, Qiu
But my mother didn’t know that this Kunlun slave was a martial arts master.
On the dark night of January, Kunlun Nu left the house with his younger brother and was never seen again.
Since her brother and Kunlun slave disappeared, Qiuniang has been worried day by day and missed her every night. Seeing that her father Zhang Jiling has no intention of sending anyone to find her brother, Qiuniang was secretly sad and finally made up her mind to embark on the journey alone with her maid.
The journey to find my brother.
Emperor Tian paid off his hard work. After several years of hard work, Qiu Niang and his maid went through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally found her brother in a village not far from Wagang Mountain. After a conversation with his brother, Qiu Niang
When my mother learned about her brother's lofty ambitions, she no longer insisted on letting him go home. She just told him to pay attention to safety and to go home to visit his father when he had free time. Then the siblings parted in tears.
On the way back to Yangzhou, Qiuniang was kidnapped by the rebels because of her beauty. Fortunately, she was rescued by Xu Changqing, who led a large army to suppress the rebels in this area. Looking at the young general who saved her, he was already seventeen or eight years old.
Qiuniang was very fond of Qiuniang, and Qin Changqing seemed to be enamored with the woman he rescued. In the troubled times, the two actually had a heart-to-heart relationship and made a private life. When Qiuniang returned to her hometown, she died because the Yuwen family in Yangzhou used a mutiny to kill Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
A great chaos broke out in Yangzhou, and Zhang's family was finally destroyed in the chaos. Qiuniang found and buried her father's body with tears in her eyes, and then came to Qizhou's "Qinjiazhuang" in Licheng, a fiefdom accumulated by Xu Changqing due to his military exploits, until the period of filial piety expired.
Then they married Xu Changqing.
When Qiuniang gave birth to Qin Wanying, Zhang Zhongjian went to Licheng to find his sister. He left some of the Zhang family property that he had taken back from the Yuwen family in Yangzhou and gave it to his sister. He also told his sister about his experiences over the years.
, after mentioning that if my sister wanted to find her in the future, she could go to Tang Army general Li Jing for help, she drifted away without any more information.
When Qiu Niang went to Chang'an to entertain Qin Wenyuan, she accidentally learned that among the guests her son invited were Li Jing and his wife Hongfu Nu. Afterwards, Qiu Niang told her son and daughter about her life experience and the relationship between her brother and Li Jing, so that they could
Let your son seize the opportunity to ask about the whereabouts of Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian.
Qiuniang did not expect that her life experience would allow her son to avoid a battle with Li Jing today, nor did she expect that Li Jing would be criticized by the court for his unwillingness to fight Qin Wenyuan today, so that for a long time this
The Military God Society of the Tang Dynasty gradually emerged from the Tang Dynasty, and he was frustrated throughout his life.
At this time, after receiving Qin Wenyuan's military order, Wang Huizan quickly sent his troops forward to greet his wife and young marshal. The second wave of Tang troops led by Li Xiaogong to stop Xu Tian also quickly advanced towards the border of Shangzhou. The two armies were less than ten miles apart.
When they were at a distance, each knew the other's location from the scouts' reports.
Qin Wenyuan finally met up with Wang Huizan's army not far from the gate of Shangzhou City. Seeing that it was getting late, he sent troops to control the road from Shangzhou to Licheng. Afterwards, thousands of cavalrymen did not unload their horses and men did not take off their armor to quickly replenish food and grass.
They rested and formed a fighting formation to wait for Li Xiaogong's army.
As the sky became darker and darker, a sound of horse hooves that shook the earth came closer and closer. Through the light of the sky, which was not yet completely dark, I could see the black and galloping cavalry appearing in the fields ahead.
Qin Wenyuan, Wang Huizan, Zhao Meng, Wu Ping and many generals immediately stood in front of the army and calmly looked at the cavalry that came into view. On the horseback, Qin Wenyuan raised his halberd and ordered the drums to be beaten in preparation for battle.
"Winter, winter, winter!"
The chilling sound of drums resounded in the dim light that was about to open the night, frightening the moon that had already risen into the sky to hide in the clouds, and the birds returning to the forest flew around in fright.
Li Xiaogong heard the sound of war drums and quickly gathered his troops. After receiving the news that the two cavalry led by Zhang Gongjin and Qin Qiong had arrived to block Qin Wenyuan, he ordered the two cavalry to form a formation on the left and right wings to guard the Xu family's army, while he led his cavalry to come.
He went to the road and shouted loudly.
"Is Qin Wenyuan here?"
Hearing the other party shouting his name, Qin Wenyuan led several generals to gallop towards the road. When the distance between the two parties was only a few feet, Qin Wenyuan reined in his horse and responded.
"Qin is here! What do you have to say, Your Majesty?"
"Qin Wenyuan! I advise you to see the situation clearly and rein in the situation. If the two armies fight, it will be too late. I don't want to embarrass you. As long as you order the Qin family's army to surrender, everything can still be discussed. I will definitely deal with you.
Treat each other with courtesy and respect from your family members. If you are stubborn and stubborn in maintaining your own strength, then don’t blame me for not giving you the Xu family face."
"Haha! Your Majesty, please don't speak in such alarmist terms. Qin Wenyuan has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Tang Dynasty and just wants to return to his hometown to live in peace. Please, Your Majesty, please let me live for the sake of the fact that we were once ministers of the same palace."
Qin Wenyuan really didn't want to fight with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke humbly to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong also fell into deep thought after hearing what Qin Wenyuan said. To be honest, he did not want his men to conflict with the Qin family army. You must know that these are subjects of the Tang Dynasty. If there is any damage, it is also the damage of the Tang Dynasty. It is an order.
It is a matter of joy to foreigners but painful to relatives.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong was deep in thought and seemed to be trying to make peace, Zhang Gongjin brought his horse over and shouted loudly.
"Son Qin Wenyuan, you disobey Wang Hua and have repeatedly ignored the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Today our general will take you back to Chang'an to be imprisoned. If you are wise, please dismount your horse and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise I will cut you into pieces."
"Go away! You, a defeated general, dare to call the battle in front of me, Mr. Qin. If you dare to say such cruel words in front of me again, believe it or not, I will make you unable to see the moonlight at night again today."
Zhang Gongjin was very angry at being so humiliated by Qin Wenyuan. He was impulsive and rushed towards Qin Wenyuan. Wang Huizan, who was beside Qin Wenyuan, shook his reins and rode to fight. However, he saw Wang Huizan on the back of the horse holding a silver-pointed steel gun with both hands like a silver snake.
Swinging left and right, the tip of the spear with a cold light drew a silver line in the misty night and swept straight towards Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin also held a spear in his hand and shook out a few gun flowers to meet the silver star that was sweeping towards him. The two spears collided and created little sparks.
Wang Huizan returned the gun and advanced again, but saw that he was wielding a long spear very skillfully on horseback. The shadow of the gun swaying left and right made a "whisking" sound in the air, concealing the killing move of stabbing Zhang Gongjin in the middle. The speed was so fast.
Like a snake catching its prey.
The two generals were firing at each other under the night sky. The soldiers on both sides had already lit torches to shine. Amidst the sound of sparks exploding everywhere, the horses on the brightly illuminated road staggered and turned to greet each other.
, after dozens of rounds, the two will be indecisive.
Seeing that it was too late to fight anymore, Li Xiaogong suggested to Qin Wenyuan that the two armies camp and rest until dawn before discussing whether to fight or surrender.
Qin Wenyuan realized that the sky was dark and not suitable for fighting, so he agreed with Li Xiaogong's proposal, and the two armies offered gold and stopped fighting.
When Zhang Gongjin and Wang Huizan heard Ming Jin's voice, they each drew back their guns and retreated. Wang Huizan picked up his gun and rode back to the camp, still full of energy, while Zhang Gongjin seemed to be a little tired and lay on the horse breathing heavily. Look at how many more things are going on like this.
In the next round, he will be picked off the horse by Wang Huizan. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on God's will.
Qin Wenyuan led several generals back to the camp and ordered the entire army to set up positions to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night. Then the generals gathered in the military tent to discuss how to act tomorrow.
At this time, another group of troops led by Cheng Yaojin had bypassed the ground in Shangzhou and occupied Luozhou City, the only route for the Qin army to lead to Huili City in Huazhou. Only then did the Luozhou City Government Office know that the people who had passed through their territory a few days ago were
The Tang army was disguised as the Qin family's army, so they responded to Cheng Yaojin's order and closed the city gates tightly, leaving all the city defense troops to prepare for defense with the Tang army.
Qin Changqing had already received a report from an army scout that his son was returning to Licheng with his army. Based on Qin Changqing's estimation of the battlefield situation, how could a veteran general like him not know where his son's army would be intercepted, so he immediately sent an order.
The "Suzaku Camp" sent out another 20,000 cavalry to quickly occupy Huazhou and take over the city defense of Huazhou, then approached Luozhou to meet his son.
Under the night sky, I saw a cavalry team circling and dancing like a fire dragon on the official road from Huazhou to Luozhou, holding torches and galloping. When they arrived at the city gate from Luozhou to Huazhou, the Qin family's army set up a formation and set up several large camps.
.
Cheng Yaojin had to report to the city tower to wait and see. He was shocked when he saw the army gathering outside the city gate. He knew that Qin Changqing was determined to protect Qin Wenyuan and return to Licheng safely this time. With the few soldiers he had in hand at the moment, he could
The only way to withstand the thunderous blow of the Qin family army is to report the situation here to the emperor immediately, and either let Qin Wen return to the far east, or the imperial court will increase its troops and start a full-scale war with the Xu family army.
While the imperial court and the Generalissimo's Mansion in Licheng were waiting for the military report from the front, it was already dark, and the difficult moment to decide whether the imperial court and the Qin family's army would compromise had arrived.
There was a sound of war drums in front of the two armies. The Tang army and the Qin army were ready to fight. However, the cavalry led by Qin Qiong did not seem to be in a hurry. However, it turned out that it was night and Qin Qiong had ordered his subordinates to try not to engage in direct combat with the Qin army. In fact,
If you can't hide, it's never too late to fight.
Qin Wenyuan still led the generals in front of the two armies as before, waiting for Li Xiaogong's answer whether to let them go or fight.
The door of the Tang military camp opened, and Li Xiaogong led Zhang Gongjin and his generals out of the camp in front of the military formation, pointing at Qin Wenyuan and saying.
"Shu Zi! Do your Qin family really want to rebel against the Tang Dynasty? Then let me know how much your Qin family's army has."
After hearing what Li Xiaogong said, Qin Wenyuan knew that things still didn't go according to his inner thoughts. The two parties compromised and got together and parted. After letting out a long sigh, he said loudly to Li Xiaogong.
"Your Majesty! I hope you won't regret today's impulse."
After speaking, Qin Wenyuan led his generals back to the military camp and ordered them to beat drums in preparation for the battle.
The Qin Army's Suzaku Camp Iron Horsemen heard the sound of drums on their backs. They each drew their weapons and started to move. Qin Wenyuan's personal guards had already chosen hidden positions and set up various firearms to aim at the Tang Army...
But a loud shout was heard from Qin Wenyuan's horseback.
"kill!"
The sound of horse hooves suddenly filled the fields, and dust and smoke rose up. The Qin family's cavalry formed a wild goose with wings spread and began to charge. Qin Wenyuan was like the head of the wild goose, leading the way. The seated "Red Rabbit" horse screamed and strode its four hooves like a red line towards Li Xiaogong.
The cavalry formation galloped forward.
"Boom, boom, boom" sounds of artillery sounded from behind the charging cavalry formation of the Qin family army, and mortar shells fell into the Tang army's camp one after another.
Qin Wenyuan holds the "Fangtian Painted Halberd" like the God of War floating on the red clouds. The armor he wears and the weapons in his hands emit dazzling light under the sun. The two long five-color feathers on the purple gold crown that ties his hair are rippling in the wind...
Zhao Meng, Wu Ping, Qin Dapeng, and Chen Lao followed Xu Tianma and charged, wielding weapons. After a while, they heard the roars, screams and roar of guns and artillery from the battlefield.
Before the cavalry of the Tang Army could connect with the cavalry of the Qin Family Army, they were blown up by a wave of mortar shells and their formation was scattered. The cavalry of the Tang Army who usually went to the battlefield to show off their power had never seen such formations before. They saw the robes around them making loud noises one by one.
He fell down in the firelight and was completely terrified. Before he could react from the fear, he saw the Qin family's cavalry attacking like wolves and tigers.
The cavalry troops of the Tang Dynasty were completely disheartened. They left behind the corpses of hundreds of men and horses and fled for their lives. They still had half of the arrogance and ferocity that they had when they pursued Qin Wenyuan and did not take the Qin family's army seriously.
Li Xiaogong really regretted it at this time...
Looking at the Tang cavalry Li Xiaogong, who was being chased all over the mountains and plains by the Qin army, his eyes were red. At this time, he and a group of generals were unable to move in the encirclement of Qin Wenyuan. Hundreds of cavalry around him were all pointing their crossbows at him and his subordinates. As long as Xu
Qin Wenyuan gave an order and the dozen of them immediately turned into dozens of cold corpses.
