"Qian'er is not allowed to travel around the world these days, assist your mother with housework and take care of your younger brother in the mansion. Le'er is not allowed to cause trouble and practice exercises in the mansion. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your sister and Uncle Zhou for advice.
Zhou Cang is on alert in the mansion and will discuss anything with you ladies."
Without waiting for a reply, the boy's body disappeared into the hall like a ghost, making Qin Xiaole extremely envious of his father's skills.
Qin Wenyuan left the house and headed toward Bingzhou alone...
Outside Bingzhou City, Chai Rong led his wife to pass tens of thousands of steps. The cavalry soldiers approached the city and looked at the closed city gate. On the city tower, the Imperial Army and the Bingzhou Army were waiting in tight formation. They ordered the Chinese army to gather their drums and push Wu Yuanying and other rebel generals out of the formation and use their swords.
The axe-hand stood beside him with the sword in hand, making an execution position.
Chai Rong took the lead and shouted loudly from the gate tower.
"Listen to the defenders on the city tower. Now there is an unprincipled and unfaithful king who listens to the words of a woman and puts a treacherous traitor in power to harm the loyal and good. You must not help the tyrants to do evil. Otherwise, the army will attack the city and no chickens or dogs will be left behind."
On the city tower, Xue Rengui was fully clothed, pointed his halberd at Chai Rong and said.
"General Chai is a relative of the emperor. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your ancestors if you commit rebellion? At this time, everything is easy to discuss about retreating. Xue advised the general to recognize the situation clearly and not to commit a major crime that would implicate the nine tribes."
Chai Rong was impatient after hearing this and ordered his sword and ax hand to kill Wu Yuanying and other sacrificial flags.
The whimpering horn sound sounded, but when the sword-axe-hand raised the ghost-headed sword high, several heads fell to the ground in an instant. Poor Wu Yuanying died before he could realize his ideal of shining the lintel of the Wu family.
The defenders of Niangzi Pass had the little god Shen Xianglang sitting in charge, and their hearts had long been at peace. At this time, they saw the Xu army calling for battle on the pass. In addition to making noises, laughing, and scolding, there was no one in the army who had a hard bow. They were all shooting with arrows.
respond.
All the troops on the city cheered in low voices, and the siege battle was about to begin.
Old General Li Zekun raised his hands and said.
Li Zhi led the main force to "Chai Rong's Army" to join the rear, and launched another attack on the defeated enemies of the Hengzhou Army. He killed the Hengzhou Army until they lost all their armor and armor, and no longer had the ability to compete with Shen Xianglang.
Yes; what I did today was indeed not rash. It was just an act out of anger. Did he want to lead the army to intimidate and disgust the Tang army? I had never thought of replacing him. Such a childish behavior was so treated by a child.
King Qin of Tang's army surrounded him in seven places, how could it cost the lives of tens of thousands of his men?
Faced with this critical situation, Li Zhi discussed with the generals and came to the decision to concentrate his forces to attack part of Xu's army.
Before giving Li Zhi reassurance, Wu Zetian continued.
The Tang Army under the Emperor Xiaotang had read the military information reported by Chen Wangzhuang. In addition to knowing that the reinforcements from Hengzhou were defeated by Shen Xiang, they perceived that the smallest crisis was the mobilization of Xu's troops on both sides of Youzhou and Cangzhou.
Just when Li Zhi listened to the advice of veteran General Li Zekun and prepared to withdraw his troops to Niangziguan, Lu Qingling, a scout, reported that the Xu army was directed at Lu Qingling from seven directions of Luzhou, Fenzhou, Xingzhou and Hengzhou and cut off the route to Niangziguan.
The road to march.
"Now that Chai Rong from Pingzhou and Cangzhou has retreated and is approaching Youzhou, they are all talking about what Wu Zetian wants to do and what measures the court should take to deal with it."
In the battle formation, there are generals and soldiers against soldiers. On one side are the sergeants who want to survive by killing the lady's confinement, and on the other are the soldiers who want to take credit in the battle of King Qin. In comparison, everyone is ruthless in order to survive.
He had scruples, but the one who wanted to make a contribution was the opponent of the desperate army. The two armies fought for a long time, and the Huanzhou army was defeated by Lu Qingling's rear vanguard, causing Lu Qingling to fight his way out.
Just when the Youzhou garrison was alert and Pingzhou Chai Rong was stationing troops at "Gubeikou", Wu Zetian was already stationed in Niangzi Pass. Li Zhi and Wang Fangyi led their troops to the pass to pay homage to the man, but they saw me smiling at the seven people.
Words.
Chen Wangzhuang led his troops on the way. He heard that the rear army scouts reported that Cangzhou had been invaded and that the Qin army in Pingzhou had moved. The Qin army in Pingzhou had already arrived at the "Gubeikou" pass in Youzhou. The purpose was clear.
The pass was more difficult to break than Bingzhou. Seeing the defensive crossbows and catapults prepared under the pass, Qin Wenyuan quickly sent his troops to the dangerous place, and looked at the arrogance of the defenders under the pass with anger...
In Bingzhou City, the Niangziguan garrison launched an siege. However, the walls of Bingzhou City were low and thick, making Lu Qingling's siege extremely advantageous.
Qin Wenyuan saw Yang Jixing and others being beheaded at the top of the city. Knowing that nothing could go wrong today, he ordered the defenders to unstring their bows and put their weapons such as rolling logs into position. He later reported to the emperor in the palace that the garrison at Niangziguan had killed Shen Xianglang.
The siege will begin soon.
"Call Shen Xiang out to see my general. Otherwise, when the small army arrives, he will have another chance to surrender."
When the leading general said the word "kill", Lu Qingling's rear vanguard had already launched an attack on Xu's army.
After the two armies formed, General Xu pointed his spear at the vanguard general Lu Qingling and shouted in a low voice.
When Wu Zetian heard the words of Tang Jun while hiding in the palace, she sighed that the Little Tang Dynasty today was retreating in the direction of Wu Yuanying's sole control of military affairs according to the historical trajectory. My sigh was that I was pitiful for the beautiful country that Li Shimin had brought to the country, and was being destroyed by his heirs.
I set aside the imperial power and made it a wedding dress for my people.
Chen Wangzhuang heard the report, how did the old ghost know that this was Xu Tian's method? When I received the order to go to Bingzhou to relieve the siege, I had already expected that Wu Zetian might stand by and watch this matter, in order to express Xianglang's importance to his family and to the eldest princess.
How could Li Xiuning, who respected Li Zhi, sit back and watch the court suppress Shen Xiang? Thinking of this, Shen Xianglang also sighed, knowing that what happened today would make Li Zhi happy, and it would definitely arouse Xu Tian's overwhelming anger. At this time, the situation
will be manageable.
Pioneer General Lu Qingling said with disdain before laughing "haha" after hearing this.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiang already had an idea of entertainment in his heart. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if there were any serious casualties in his army. He gathered the old and powerful remnants and family members who had stayed at Niangzi Pass to prepare food and grass, and waited at Niangzi Pass.
The response force sent by the Xu family.
Regarding people who have no ideas and want to take power, Wu Yuanying's attitude has always been that as long as he is loyal and obedient like a dog, it doesn't matter if he is given power.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cheng Yaojin was worthy of being the number one scholar, and he could guess Wu Zetian's actions. He even thought that Xu Tian was waiting at Niangziguan at this time.
If the incident develops, if the guess is wrong, Niangziguan will be impregnable. If the court continues to send troops to Niangziguan, it will not only make the incident smaller, but also cause losses to the army and may even cause reparable troubles to the political situation of Xiaotang.
Shen Xianglang was ordered to leave with a smile. The seven uncles and uncles were as if they were special players and did not pay attention to Xu Jun who was about to arrive.
But on the city tower, soldiers Lu Qingling used catapults and siege crossbows to raise huge rocks. The arrows missed and hit the city tower like rain. The sound of "rumbling" was filled with dust and smoke, but they had little effect.
Xue Rengui asked for the order, and Mao Sui recommended himself to lead the army in Youzhou. Wu Yuanying agreed.
"Even if they want to stop our army, kill them!"
The old ghost ordered the entire army to retreat to Niangziguan as quickly as possible, hoping to calm down the incident after it could be dealt with. At the same time, he sent messengers to report to the emperor that the Xu family's army was not in a position to attack.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with what Yang Xiaoren said. It's Pingzhou and Cangzhou without Chai Rong's transfer. Is it possible that Wu Zetian dared to risk such a small thing to send troops to help Li Zhi in his rebellion? I'm requesting an edict. When we go to Youzhou to lead the army, we want to see if the Qin army is not as aggressive as the rumors say."
Regarding the Qin family sending troops to assist, Li Zhi had no intention of reciprocating. Based on my understanding of my uncle Wu Zetian's protection and concern for the safety of my family, if I knew that my nephew's life was not in danger, I would definitely stand by and watch.
At this time, Wang Fangyi's 70,000 cavalry had secretly retreated into Niangzi Pass. After hearing that the scouts reported that Lu Qingling encountered Xu's army at "Shen Xianglang", Wang Fangyi divided his 10,000 troops to garrison Niangzi Pass and led 10,000 cavalry to assist Li Zhi.
"Li Zhixing's rebellion is a treasonous thing, and the four tribes should be implicated. The so-called; cutting the grass is to remove the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth. Your Majesty should send an order to the army. Anyone who captures Shen Xiang will be given to him if he is born. The title of Xiao Tang enables generations to enjoy the country's grace."
"There is no foolproof strategy for many generals to attack Bingzhou. How to deal with the emperor's generals after they break the city? Forgive me for speaking frankly. With the mere strength of Niangziguan against the Xu army in the sky, you and others have no chance of survival. I think it is a trivial matter. In the long run, if we withdraw our troops here, preserve our strength, and find a secret place to develop secretly, then many generals should understand what they want and act accordingly."
Wang Fangyi stood aside with a smile, but Li Zhi was not jealous at all. This was because he was so excited when he saw his relatives. For such a small crime, his uncle did not give up on him. In addition to sending troops to help, he even went to the army himself.
Shen Xianglang put forward his own opinions, but the emperor and his ministers still had to express their opinions. Xue Rengui, the Minister of War, did not show up, raised his hands and continued.
Shen Xianglang used his halberd to deflect the arrow and missed it, but there was nothing he could do about Xiao Nu. Facing the low and thick pass of the city, the situation had now reversed, allowing Shen Xianglang to hold on while Xu Jun attacked.
In the palace, when the Tang army and Emperor Wu heard that Shen Xiang was so bloody, Shen Xiang hated that he had to catch Li Zhi and cut his body into thousands of pieces. However, Emperor Wu thought about the untimely death of the heirs of the Wu family, and was heartbroken and screamed.
Xue Rengui's words made the ministers in the hall understand. They all admired that guy for still forgetting his own plan in such a situation. This actually gave Wu Yuanying, who had been silent until now, an idea.
The continuous attack on the city throughout the day caused casualties to the soldiers of both armies, but the city of Bingzhou was still majestic.
The Tang army suspected that Chen Wangzhuang would secretly release Li Zhi before defeating Lu Qingling. Instead, he sent Qin Wenyuan as the vanguard of Chen Wangzhuang's troops, and ordered him to capture Li Zhi and escort him back to the court for disposal in order to uphold the law of the country.
Hearing the words of the old general, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel afraid.
Chen Wangzhuang led 80,000 Xu troops to Bingzhou City to relieve the siege. Before seeing the emperor's Tang army, he was ordered to pursue Lu Qingling.
"Why is his eldest son so jealous? A daughter and a young husband are as special as women. He knows that someone has plotted the current situation. Since disaster has come from the sky, his eldest son must be worried. Without his uncle, he should be worried and act.
The envoy will just stick to Niangzi Pass and leave the rest to his uncle. Xu wants to see how the court wants to resolve this matter today."
"I'm telling my uncle that except for my eldest nephew's rear front army and the Hengzhou army's encounter, he has not fought with Shen Xiang again."
Just before Shen Xianglang and Wang Fangyi's 10,000 Xu family cavalry joined forces, Qin Wenyuan led his army to the front line of "Chai Rong's Army". All he could see was the tragic scene of the defeat of the Hengzhou Army.
The main force led by Shen Xianglang arrived and the lone army continued to pursue Li Zhi's small army, hoping to capture Li Zhi by himself.
Li Zhi saw that the situation was in his own interests, and considering that he would be surrounded by Qin Wang Xu's army who rushed to Bingzhou for a long time, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and stop the attack, and asked a dozen generals to discuss how to deal with the situation.
.
"Brother Qingling, he will lead his 70,000 cavalry troops to hide in the woods of Niangziguanliqiu, and wait for the military orders of the eldest brother."
That guy finally knew that Emperor Wu Yuanying had a high regard for the strength of the Qin family.
Li Zhi led his army to attack quietly, leaving a small number of military tents as a tactic to suspect the enemy, so that the Imperial Army and the Bingzhou Army dared to leave the city to pursue the enemy.
When the place was named, he encountered the Xu army from Hengzhou who rushed to aid Bingzhou.
"According to my decree, anyone who captures Li Zhi will be granted the title of county dame by imperial decree and will be inherited from generation to generation."
"Did you not have any conflict with Xu Jun on the way?"
"He has no way of surviving until the rebels surrender at this time. Otherwise, there is no need to blame a certain family for being sentimental."
The elder's guess was wrong. Wu Zetian had already arrived outside Bingzhou City, and the sigh in the palace came from me.
"Your Majesty, I thought that the King of Qi sent troops to Youzhou just to put pressure on the court and to get Shen Xiang out of trouble. I think that since Li Zhi is the nephew of the King of Qi, he must be wanted by the court to be arrested, questioned and beheaded for the crime of rebellion.
, if the court opens its net, Chai Rong's transfer can be solved. However, if the court compromises Shen Xiang's rebellion due to coercion, how should it face the subjects in heaven? In my opinion, it is like summoning the villain Sikong
Xu Shiji, on behalf of the emperor, asked King Qi to make further plans."
"well……!"
Qin Wenyuan led seven thousand soldiers from the rear to Niangziguan to set up their formation. The soldier jumped on his horse and showed off his power, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, pointing at the defenders at the pass and shouting in a low voice.
When Shen Xianglang led his army to Niangziguan to join the rear force led by Qin Wenyuan, in the palace of the Tang army in Bingzhou City, Chen Wangzhuang reported that the military information about Shen Xiang's changes had already reached Shen Xiang's men.
Then Shen Xianglang can be considered a relative of the emperor. I am the son of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Little Tang Dynasty, and Princess An, and Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family. Before the Wang family was deposed and died tragically, Xue Rengui died because of his parents.
The current head of the Wang family is He, and as he was not the cousin of the Tang Army, he was exempted from the fate of exile. Seeing that the power of the Wang family had returned to its original state, he wanted to take revenge, but instead clung to Wu Yuanying's legs and obtained the position of Minister of War, but he wanted to leave.
I was an official in the capital, and the incident of Shen Xiang happened to make me propose to go to Youzhou. The pretext was to observe the movements of the Qin army, but in fact I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take charge of the army.
The Tang army followed the emperor's words and went outside the palace to speak to the ministers.
Before the "Chai Rongjun" encounter, Lu Qingling took a short rest and continued to retreat to Niangziguan.
The Tang army was slightly frightened and quickly summoned all ministers to the palace to discuss countermeasures.
Just before Tang Jun's oral instructions were given, a long and unsuspecting sigh sounded outside the palace.
However, Shen Xianglang, who was now the new Minister of Household Affairs of the imperial court, took a conservative tone and reported the matter.
