The thief was ten feet long, with a head like a fence, eyes like copper bells, a pointed mouth and a broad nose, and a beard under the chin like an iron wire. He usually used a long sword. He was defeated by Yuchi Jingde and fled to Xiliang. He became
Su Bao shared his account with the military advisor.
The other military advisor was a monk from "Aolai Kingdom" named Zen Master Feibo.
This evil monk uses two pairs of golden cymbals, which are held in the air during the fight. He hits people on the head like smashing melons and fruits. He acts ruthlessly, but he still insists on calling himself the Living Buddha of Xitian. Real Nima is not a thing.
You see, he looks ugly. His height is only four feet, but his height is three feet. He looks like a stone.
These two people from outside the country were both military advisors under Su Bao's tent, and they cooperated in a tacit understanding. After hearing the marshal's invitation, they quickly came to the Tiger Hall of the marshal's mansion.
Entering the Tiger Hall and seeing the marshal, Taoist Tieban said first.
"I wonder why the marshal called us two?"
Su Baotong heard this and asked the two of them to sit down and talk. After they sat down, he spoke from the commander's position.
"What you two military advisors don't know is that I have a deep grudge against the Tang Dynasty. At the request of the Tubo Kingdom, I sent troops to harass the Tang Dynasty and wanted to invade the Central Plains and disrupt the Li and Tang Dynasties. Now, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally conquers our country in Xiliang
In the border area, with Xue Rengui as commander, we have captured three of our important passes, and will soon march to Suoyang City. Today, I will invite two military advisors to discuss, hoping to kill the Tang army in one fell swoop, capture the Emperor of Tang alive, and then raise troops to attack Chang'an City.
, seizing the Li family's kingdom and making Lord Wolf the king will relieve the hatred in my heart. I wonder if the two military advisors have any clever ideas, and would you be willing to help me to avenge my hatred?"
Taoist Tieban and Zen Master Feiban listened to what Su Baotong said and pondered for a while, then Taoist Tieban said.
"Marshal, don't worry about this matter. If the Tang army comes, our troops will stop it, and the water will cover it with earth. If you want to kill the Tang army in one fell swoop, Pindao has a plan, but he has all the troops withdraw from Suoyang City and go to Hanjiang."
Guan dispatched troops and generals to ambush outside the city of Suoyang in order to trap the Tang army to death. If any general of the Tang army breaks out, Lao Dao and Brother Feibai will take their lives for the marshal."
After hearing what Taoist Tieban said, Su Baotong believed that this plan was feasible. He immediately sent an order to Hutang to withdraw the entire army from "Suoyang City" and stationed at "Hanjiang Pass", intending to mobilize millions of troops from Xiliang at "Hanjiang Pass".
He ordered the Xiliang Army generals not to reveal this plan.
He did not mention the Xiliang army's plan to besiege the Tang army, but said that the Tang army fired artillery at "Jietian Pass" and broke out of camp. When they came to the outside of "Suoyang City", Li Zhi saw the word "Suoyang" on the city tower and suddenly remembered that Xu Tian had said that he encountered "Suoyang".
"I was hesitating after saying these words, but I heard the pioneer Qin Huaiyu come into the tent to report.
"Your Majesty, I led my army at the foot of Suoyang City. I saw the flags on the city towers fluttering, but there were no soldiers guarding the city. Moreover, the city gate was wide open and the suspension bridge was not raised. I thought this city belonged to Marshal Su Baotong of Xiliang. How could it be like this? I thought
There must be a plan involved. If you want to delay the troops from entering the city, I hope the emperor will make a decision."
After Qin Huaiyu said this, he heard Marshal Xue Rengui laugh "haha".
"General Qin, please don't be nervous. I believe that Su Baotong is incompetent. When he heard that the Tang army was coming, he easily broke through the three passes. He was frightened to death and abandoned the city. Today, the emperor personally marched, and our army was prosperous. It was him.
There is a plan in the city, but what can I do? All the generals have to do is be careful when entering the city, but Xue wants to see what tricks he can pull off."
After saying this, Xue Rengui asked for an order to march his troops into the city. The generals saw that the emperor was still hesitant. They didn't know why the emperor was worried. Cheng Yaojin stepped aside and said again.
"Your Majesty, we fought all the way and defeated the three passes of Xiliang without any effort. The enemy generals in Suoyang City were obviously frightened by the strength of our army. They must have abandoned the city because they did not dare to fight our army.
. It’s not that the old minister is boasting. If Su Baotong heard that the old minister was here, he would definitely be frightened. How could there be any tricks? He was obviously afraid of us and had already fled for his life. The old minister respectfully invited the emperor, so he acted recklessly.
The army enters the city."
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Xue Rengui added words of jealousy.
"What Mr. Cheng Qiansui said is true. Su Bao and other Xiliang soldiers and generals are all like dogs and sheep, so why should we be afraid? When our Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrive, they will flee upon hearing the news, just like rats! We and our army will soon
Enter the city and then advance to capture the Imperial City of Xiliang. Your Majesty will be filled with great blessings, and Xiliang should be destroyed."
When all the generals heard what the marshal said, they all agreed and asked for orders to send the army into the city.
Seeing many requests from the generals, Li Zhi finally made up his mind and ordered Xue Rengui to send an order for the army to march into the city.
Just when the Tang army entered "Suoyang City", in the "Chang'an" city of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Tian had a whim and figured out the cause. Knowing that Li Zhi should have such difficulty, he warned him in advance.
It's a secret that no one can change, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Heaven's secret cannot be violated! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his generals deserved such a calamity."
After the Tang army entered the city, Xue Rengui ordered the generals to search around the city to prevent the Xiliang army from succeeding in their treacherous plot. He then sent people to check the food and grass in the city, but found that there were several years of food and grass available. He couldn't help but feel reassured, and even thought that Su Baotong was afraid of the Tang army.
He led his troops to retreat in a hurry, so he ordered his soldiers to fill the city tower with the flags of the Tang Dynasty to implement the policy of calming the people, and sent an envoy to report to the emperor, please feel free to enter the city.
When Li Zhi heard the news that the city had been controlled by the Tang army, he sent an order to Cheng Yaojin to escort the grain and grass first, and then led the Yulin guards to follow closely.
After entering the city, Li Zhi sat down in the official office of Xiliang. After all the generals had paid their respects, he ordered Xue Rengui to send 300,000 troops to set up camp and close the ten gates. After a short rest, he ordered Xue Rengui to gather the people in the official office for discussion.
Marching into "Hanjiang Pass".
Outside "Suoyang City", Su Baotong's scout Fan'er found out that the Tang Army's 300,000 troops had entered the city, and quickly reported to the marshal.
Su Baotong received the report and sent an order outside "Suoyang City" to besiege the city by the Xiliang army ambushing on all sides.
Dozens of cannons were fired, but Xiliang troops were seen fighting out from all over the mountains and plains, blocking the ten gates of "Suoyang City" and setting up camp together. Flags were flying everywhere and the shouts of killing were loud.
The soldiers of the Tang Army who were on guard on the tower of "Suoyang City" saw the Xiliang Army fighting in such a formation and quickly reported to the government office.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Report to the emperor, it's not good! There are countless Xiliang troops outside the city surrounding the city gate, which is airtight."
When Li Zhi heard the report, he was immediately frightened out of his mind. All the civil servants were also sweating when they heard the news, thinking that they had fallen into the Xiliang army's empty city plan.
After a while, Li Zhi felt more at ease and said regretfully.
"I regret not listening to Qi King Xu Tian's reminder. Now that I and 300,000 Tang troops are surrounded, what should I do?"
Xue Rengui heard the words of the sage and said in fear.
"Your Majesty, let me follow you to the tower to see the strength of the Xiliang army. If it turns out to be powerful, we will make an idea then."
Li Zhi heard this and said: "That makes sense!"
Later, he and a group of generals such as Xue Rengui and Cheng Yaojin went up to the city tower to watch, but they saw that the Xiliang army had surrounded "Suoyang City" heavily with murderous intent and fierce swords and guns everywhere.
When Li Zhi saw the Xiliang army's formation, his heart suddenly became cold, and all the ministers were panicked and at a loss.
Just as the emperor and his ministers were stunned in fear on the city tower, they suddenly heard three cannon shots below the city. Soon they saw the Xiliang army camp moving below the city, and at the same time heard the Xiliang army cheering.
"The commander is here!"
Following the cheers, I saw Su Baotong leading thousands of brave horses galloping down the city tower to the bottom of the city. He looked up at the Tang army on the city tower, and saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sitting under the dragon and phoenix flag. He couldn't help shouting hatefully.
"Is this Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty on the city tower? I think my grandfather served the Tang Dynasty, but he died unjustly. For the time being, my father Su Feng fled to Xiliang and gave birth to my two brothers and sisters. He was about to raise an army to march into Chang'an to replace him.
My grandfather avenged his revenge. Unexpectedly, the sky net is vast and sparse. You have fallen into my empty city plan today. If you want to escape, quickly kidnap the Luo family here. Everything will be over. Su can let you and your ministers go back.
, Otherwise, you can’t even think of escaping unscathed.”
Su Baotong shouted angrily, making Li Zhi's hair stand on end, but it was Xue Rengui and Qin Huaiyu who stepped out and said.
"Your Majesty, stop listening to this guy's nonsense and go back to the official office to rest. Wait for your ministers to send troops outside the city to capture this guy and behead him in public."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi told Xue Rengui and others to come up with ways to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, and then led the civil servants and others back to the government office.
After the emperor left, Xue Rengui said to the generals.
"Since the beginning of the war, I have not had any confrontation with the enemy general. When I go out of the city to meet with this officer, you will be on guard in the city tower. Don't let the Xiliang army take advantage of the loophole."
After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu appeared next to him and said.
"The marshal is the commander-in-chief of an army. He has a body worth thousands of dollars. He must not take any risks. He must wait until the end of the battle to leave the city to meet the thieves."
Seeing that Qin Huaiyu insisted on fighting, Xue Rengui called Yuchi Baolin, and the Baoqing brothers said: "You two will join General Qin in battle."
The three of them got the order, each dressed neatly, and ordered the soldiers to fire cannons and attack the city.
The golden drum sounded in "Suoyang City" and the city gate opened. Qin Huaiyu rushed out on horseback. In front of the two armies, he saw a Xiliang general standing in front of the army with a sword drawn and an arrogant look on his face. His momentum was very arrogant.
The attire of this Xiliang general is extremely exquisite. You see, he wears a phoenix-winged helmet with red tassels all over the sky. He wears bronze armor, lined with green silk robes, and has a waist embroidered with gold dragons and phoenixes. He has a treasure-carved bow on the left and Langya arrows on the right.
, sat down and the black dragon colt stepped on the ground with its four hooves, making a sound like thunder.
This guy saw Qin Huaiyu coming forward, holding a broadsword in his right hand, stroking the three long strands of beard under his chin with his left hand, and spoke with disdain on his face.
"Wuna Barbarian, who dares to go out to fight in the city, must have some reputation. You can tell me your name to let a certain family know."
When Qin Huaiyu heard this, he chirped loudly on his horse and said: "A certain family has a hereditary protector of the country, and Qin Huaiyu is the vanguard under Marshal Xue!"
The Xiliang general heard this and laughed "haha" and said: "It turns out that he is the son of Qin Qiong. Your family has a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that you have committed yourself to the defeated general Xue Manzi. Let's see if a certain family's sword takes your life."
After saying this, General Xiliang waved his sword in his hand and struck Qin Huaiyu down.
Qin Huaiyu made a long spear in his hand and blocked the enemy general's sword with a bang. He said loudly: "Wait a minute, this general's spear will not kill unknown generals. You thief, you can tell me your name now, otherwise, you will go to the Hall of Yama."
He doesn’t even have a name.”
When the Xiliang general heard this, he was so angry that he said sharply.
"If you want to know my name, please listen carefully. Don't be frightened off your horse. A certain family is under the command of the King of Xiliang, and he is also named Grand Marshal Su Baotong of Tianguan. If you wait for your king and ministers to know this, surrender quickly. There are still
Silk Road, otherwise, they will all be buried in Suoyang City."
After hearing that this officer was Marshal Su Baotong of Xiliang, Qin Huaiyu said again.
"It turns out that you are a traitor. Your grandfather and uncle were all favored by heaven, but you were disloyal and rebellious, and you were shot by this general."
After Qin Huaiyu said this, he swung the spear in his hand and started fighting with Su Bao in front of the two armies. You can see the spear in his hand flying back and forth, never leaving Su Baotong's throat, chest and abdomen, and the spear flowers blooming like blooming flowers of the other side, always trying to snatch it away.
human life.
Su Baotong used his broadsword to make exquisite moves, whether it was cutting, whittling or sweeping. The blade flashed like butterflies fluttering, and with the roaring sound, he deflected the approaching spear tip. He refused to give in even a single inch, but he continued to do so all the time.
Turning the knife's momentum, he attacked Qin Huaiyu front and back. The knife with the sound of wind danced out layers of light curtains, as cruel as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, wishing to split the person into two pieces.
The two fought for dozens of rounds without a clear winner. Su Baotong saw that he could not win for a long time on horseback, and thought to himself: "Wait until I pretend to be defeated, and secretly kill this barbarian with a flying knife."
Su Baotong thought of doing it, feinted his sword, turned his horse and ran away. This posture made it clear that he was planning to escape from the battlefield.
When Qin Huaiyu saw this guy running with his horse, he was not willing to let him go. He shot the horse with his gun and chased after him. Thinking of the rumors that this guy was good at using flying knives to hurt people, he pressed him hard and shouted loudly before he had a chance to release his flying knives.
"Su Baotong, I think you are also a dignified man. We will fight based on our strength. We will not act like villains or use hidden weapons to hurt people. You can stop and fight with me for a few hundred more rounds to determine the outcome."
When Su Dingtong, who was running in front, heard this, he picked up the reins of his horse, held his sword across his hand, and said loudly to Qin Huaiyu.
"You are Marshal of Xiliang. You know my sword skills, and I know your spear moves. It's like a hero meets a hero, a dragon versus a tiger. I don't know what kind of weapon it is on your back, and I can see it clearly.
Tou, the sun is shining brightly, and you are allowed to use such weapons, but how can you not let a certain family display their unique skills?"
When Qin Huaiyu heard what this guy said, he said angrily.
"Hu'er sophistry, the two maces on my back are the weapons my father used. They are called Kunlun's exposed maces. They conquered the Tang Dynasty, killed eighteen princes, and conquered all directions. Most of their achievements were made with these two golden maces. This mace
It weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and is wrapped with six kilograms of red gold. How come you know how powerful you are? Why don't you surrender? You must be seeking death."
Su Baotong was cunning. Hearing this, he said: "So that's it. Our way is evil. Your mace shines brightly. We are very curious. Can we borrow it for a look?"
Qin Huaiyu was sincere and kind to others. Hearing this, he said: "Su Baotong, if you want to see my two trump cards, that's fine. I will let you see them."
After speaking, Qin Huaiyu actually took off the two maces from his back and handed them to Su Baotong on horseback. Su Baotong took the two maces, looked at them carefully, and praised them repeatedly: "What a mace! It really deserves its reputation."
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and even said to Qin Huaiyu.
"Qin Huaiyu, give me this trump card!"
After saying this, Su Baotong put away his maces, slapped his horse and left. Qin Huaiyu was so angry that he cursed: "What a dishonest Hu'er, please give me back your maces."
While talking, Qin Huaiyu chased Su Baotong, vowing to kill him and get back his mace.
