"Now, are you satisfied?!" Shi Chaoyi shook the bloody blade towards his father and asked with a sneer. His voice was not high, but it was like the last cry of a trapped animal in desperate situation.
The defensive Shi Siming was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his roar stuck in his throat.
The cronies on the left and right were afraid that the father and son would kill each other, so they rushed forward to snatch the handle of the knife. Shi Chaoyi allowed everyone to remove his horizontal knife, shook his head with a sneer, and walked away.
"Stop!" After he was far away, Shi Siming recovered from the shock and yelled at his son's back. "You rebellious and unfilial son, stop right now!"
Shi Chaoyi turned a deaf ear to the angry shouts coming from behind. He gritted his teeth and continued to stride into the camp. Shi Siming shouted several times but received no response. He was so angry that he raised his weapon and threw it at his son's back. With him,
I have been able to catch generals alive, so I don't need to aim at this distance. Today, I suddenly lost my hand, and the sword whirled in the air several times, hitting the camp wall with a clang, and sawdust flying.
Hearing the sound of weapons breaking through the air from behind, Shi Chaoyi's body obviously paused. Then he continued to stride forward in a straight line, without any defensive movements from beginning to end.
This made Shi Siming even more unable to step down, but he couldn't bear to kill his son with a knife. He raised his right foot and kicked his cronies fiercely, "Trash, they are all trash. Why are you standing there? Go and kill him."
I will capture him and execute him on the spot!"
How could the guards dare to obey the order? They all pretended to be deaf and mute, gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on. Several trusted generals did not dare to ask for trouble, and turned their heads to the side, pretending that they had not seen anything. After a while, Shi Siming gradually appeared.
After running out of energy, the marching commander Shi Geng Renzhi stepped forward and carefully advised: "Sir, it's cold, why don't you go back to the commander's tent to rest?! Early tomorrow morning, you will have to attack the city!"
"It's all your bastard's good idea!" Despite being careful, he still couldn't escape. Shi Siming kicked him over and knocked him down. "If you hadn't insisted on me to sharpen him,
How can we father and son be so cruel? You are a cripple and a white-eyed wolf. You are full of evil! You will cheat whoever you catch!"
Geng Renzhi suffered in vain, but he did not dare to complain. He rolled on the ground a few times, got up with a smile, and explained in a low voice: "My lord, please calm down. My lord, please calm down your thunderous anger. Please think about it carefully. Experience
After this incident, will the Major General show mercy to others easily? You have always thought that he is not decisive enough..."
"Fuck you!" Shi Siming kicked him over again, knocking him staggering. But he knew clearly in his heart that the last trace of womanly kindness in his son's heart would be cut with the knife on Yan Jiming's body tonight.
, I'm afraid it was completely cut off. From this perspective, Geng Renzhi did indeed have merit but no fault. But this merit made him unwilling to give any reward in his heart.
From the strength of the last kick, Geng Renzhi guessed that the anger in Shi Siming's heart was gone. He smiled and leaned forward, and continued: "But my subordinate was eavesdropping outside just now, and heard what the boy named Yan said.
It’s an interesting thing. I don’t know, adults…”
"Tell me, don't show off?!" Shi Siming resisted the urge to smash the gentle smiling face in front of him and roared an order.
"Are you talking here?" Geng Renzhi's little eyes rolled around, indicating that this was not the place to talk. Shi Siming looked around and frowned, "They are all good brothers who have been with me for many years! They are better than you.
The white-eyed wolf is much more reliable. Tell me, don’t hide it!"
"I'm just afraid that these words will get out and cause trouble for you!" Geng Renzhi didn't succeed, and his voice was somewhat depressed, "Actually, it was the boy named Yan who was talking nonsense. Everyone just listen to it and forget it. There is no need to take it seriously!"
"If you fart, hurry up! I'm waiting to go back to bed!" Shi Siming stamped his foot and urged impatiently. The other generals also looked disdainful, curled their lips, frowned, and formed a circle around Shi Siming, surrounding him.
He and Geng Renzhi gathered in the center.
"These are just a few words." Geng Renzhi knew that no matter how hard he tried, he was not as important as those rude soldiers and ruffians in Shi Siming's eyes. He smacked his lips and reported reluctantly, "My subordinates expected that the Major General might be temporarily soft-hearted.
, let the man surnamed Yan go. He took it upon himself to follow him secretly. Outside the tent that served as a prison, he heard the boy surnamed Yan persuade the young general and his lord to turn back. He said that the court urgently needs to save face. If your lord are willing to do so now,
If we look back, the imperial court will definitely forget the past! And..."
"Fart! Bullshit." Before he could finish his words, Shi Siming interrupted impatiently. "Then after you deal with Lao An, will you free up your hands to settle the score with me?! I'm not that stupid! I'm saying this
Pretend you didn’t hear it! If there’s any other nonsense, hurry up and let it out!”
"It was the boy surnamed Yan who did it!" Geng Renzhi lowered his voice, with a look of grievance on his face. From the moment he raised his troops, he had been feeling uneasy, so he would rather Shi Siming consider Yan Jiming's statement, "He said that General An and you
The reason why they are able to win now is that they caught the imperial court off guard. But the Tang Dynasty's airs are still there. The soldiers in the Beijing camp cannot fight, but it does not mean that the soldiers in other places cannot fight. Once the imperial court mobilizes troops from all over the border towns,
The soldiers are back..."
"Who else can be mobilized? All the elite soldiers in the south were buried in Nanzhao by Yang Guozhong's prodigal son." Shi Siming sneered and curled his lips, "These few in the north are old and sick, and only one of them is Feng Changqing, and he is also an eunuch.
We have lost the trust of the emperor! When we have soldiers, we don’t have generals, and when we have generals, we don’t have soldiers. It’s weird that we can stop our army! Go on, what other nonsense is there!"
"The boy also said that the eight thousand Yiluohe in your hands and His Majesty's will only become less and less as we fight. But the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty became better and better as they fought. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi can kill Jingxing Pass at any time, Hexi
The army from Anxi and Anxi are also rushing to Chang'an at starry night. The imperial court will also recruit a rising star named Wang Mingyun. That person seems to have some friendship with the major general, and it is said that his skills are decent! "
"Wang Mingyun?!" Shi Siming frowned slightly. "Chaoyi mentioned him to me. He had a lot of fun with Dawan last year. However, is he as brave and good at fighting as the rumors say?
We'll have to wait and see. As for Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, when I led the troops to fight, they were still peeing in live mud! When I captured Changshan and killed the old thief Yan, I immediately turned around and attacked Hedong and took a look at them.
How dare you two pry into my future!"
"Yes, kill Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi first. Lest they stab us in the back again!"
"Yes, take Hedong first. Then take a roundabout route behind Chang'an City, leaving the Dog Emperor with no way to escape!" Several generals listened to Shi Siming's grand words and agreed one after another.
Amidst the cheers, Shi Siming's eyes slowly calmed down. "You give His Majesty a warning for me. Just say that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are coming fiercely. I need to solve his worries first, and then I can rush to join him. We can't
If you just beat others up, your hometown will be raided again!"
"Promise! I will write it overnight!" Geng Renzhi's triangular eyes immediately shone with light. This is what he most hopes to achieve tonight. It doesn't matter whether he surrenders to the Tang Dynasty or not. The key is that Shi Siming must firmly hold Hebei
Hold it in your hands. With this sacred land, Anlu Mountain has won, and the Shi family and his son can split the soil. If the future of Anlu Mountain is really unfortunately predicted by that boy Yan Jiming, with the troops and base in his hands,
The Shi family and his son can still bargain with the court. He and the soldiers around him can always be on the winning side, and follow the Shi family and his son to rise to great heights!
"Don't be in a hurry!" Before Geng Renzhi had time to be happy, Shi Siming thought for a while and quickly overturned his decision, "Don't be in a hurry to write me a note for me. Lao An is very suspicious, so I have to let him take the initiative to arrange it for me first.
Mission. You first send Lao An to deliver the battle report to His Majesty that our army is about to recapture Changshan. Tell him not to worry too much about the future. Then, find the nearest military report and see if Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have already
Where have they been? Although they are all juniors, I can't underestimate the enemy too much. Don't be busy. Also, tell me the news about Dawan, Wang Xun, Wang Mingyun's little guy, his background, temperament
I also compiled a detailed list of his hobbies and other things and sent them to me in my sleeping room. I am not worried about that boy, but at his age, his future development potential is very considerable. If I can get it, I will keep it to assist Chaoyi in the future.
, but it’s also a suitable deal!”
A series of orders were given, and even though Geng Renzhi was very capable, he was busy all night. The next day, he sent a fast horse to send Yan Jiming's head and the battle report to Luoyang. After receiving it, An Lushan was in high spirits.
.Immediately ordered Shi Siming to stay in Hebei to prevent Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi from advancing eastward along Jingxing Pass. Then he personally ordered the Tiger and Wolf divisions to attack Mianchi again with great momentum.
After resting for a month and a half, Feng Changqing's soldiers and horses also regained some strength. Although they still lacked good fighting arms, under the urging of the eunuchs, they had to bite the bullet and come out to fight. The two sides fought on the front line of Xiaoshan.
After more than ten days, most of the warriors under Feng Changqing's command were killed in the battle, so they had to abandon the camp and quickly retreat to Shaanxi Province.
Gao Xianzhi also brought some temporarily recruited soldiers and horses to help in the battle, but they could not stop the rebels and were forced to retreat with Feng Changqing. On the way, the imperial court issued another imperial edict, ordering the two not to retreat any further, and led the remaining troops
Resistance on the spot. Feng Changqing could not bear to let the volunteers sacrificed in vain again, so he went to Gao Xianzhi privately and whispered: "All the officials and people in Shaanzhou have fled long ago, and there is no point for you and me to stay here. It's better."
Rush to Tongguan and meet up with Ge Shuhan's fellow. Together, we may be able to save Tongguan. If Tongguan is also captured by the rebels, I am afraid that both Chang'an City and Your Majesty will be in danger!"
"This is the truth, but His Majesty's recent temper..." Ever since he was transferred from the post of Chief Protector of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi's vigor was no longer what it used to be. He hesitated for a while and reminded in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is in the capital, how do you know the difficulties on the front line? Neither Yang Guozhong nor the prince know much about military affairs. Why don't I hand over all the troops and horses in my hands to you, and then go to Chang'an to plead guilty to Your Majesty. It is also a good opportunity to take this opportunity.
, I can also report the current situation to His Majesty! With His Majesty's foresight, he will reconsider the strategy of war and defense." Feng Changqing was far more worried about the situation than his personal honor and disgrace. After thinking about it, he continued to persuade.
"But those eunuchs have long disliked you. If they take the opportunity to add insult to injury..." Gao Xianzhi still couldn't make up his mind, frowned, and continued to analyze the pros and cons.
"Anyway, Feng is already ready to be punished. He doesn't care about another one on his head!" Feng Changqing slapped the case with his hand and sneered loudly, "Let them mess around, what tricks can they come up with! Even if Feng dies, the military will
Even if you are left alone, you can still maintain control of this team. Otherwise, if all the brothers are handed over to Ge Shuhan, he is not a responsible person and has no courage to fight against the eunuch..."
In that case, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops will die without a burial! Thinking of the possible consequences, Gao Xianzhi broke out in cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and promised in a low voice, "Then you, be more careful! Gao will write a note for you right now
Guarantee. Considering that you and I have defended the country in Anxi for many years, I think the emperor can also reminisce about our old feelings."
"It's up to you!" Feng Changqing knew that the other party was doing this entirely for his own good, so he smiled and bowed his head to the ground. "Feng will go now, take care of yourself!"
"Feng Er, I'll wait for you to come back in the army!" Gao Xianzhi's eyes suddenly turned red. He took a few steps forward and pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand. "If anyone dares to do you harm, Gao will let them see. All the members of our Anxi Army are here.
Are we always of the same mind?"
"Brother Gao must not do this." Feng Changqing turned around and shook his head with a smile, "The Anxi Army does not belong to Brother Gao, nor does it belong to Feng. Your Majesty, at this moment, I am afraid that the thing that Your Majesty is most wary of is someone like An Lushan.
Soldiers must respect themselves. Feng Er's life is not a pity, but it cannot insult the reputation of generations of soldiers of the Anxi Army. Feng Er said this, brother Gao, please think about yourself!"
After that, he jumped on his horse and galloped away in the direction of Chang'an.
"Seal two!" Gao Xianzhi chased for a few more steps and wanted to say something, but his voice was choked in his throat. In the end, he said nothing and returned to the army with the hilt of the knife, his gray hair blown around by the cold wind of early spring.
Fluttering down.
"Dong, dong, dong!" The drums of the gathering sounded from the central military tent, which was a bit tragic and a bit exciting. The remaining soldiers who had retreated from the front line raised their heads and looked around, with tired faces and blank eyes.
It is clear that hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in Tongguan, but they do not come forward to help. Who are they guarding against?
From Luoyang all the way to Shaanzhou, all the volunteers recruited temporarily are fighting for their lives! Who are they fighting for in this battle?
