Chapter 6 The Tang Dynasty (Part 1)

Chapter Six: The Tang Dynasty (Part 1)

In Suiyang, a war flag of the Tang Dynasty flutters in the evening breeze... com (Please remember the free novel) (Note 1)

Since the day the rebels entered Henan, this battle flag has accompanied the soldiers through more than 270 battles. From Yongqiu to Ningling, and then from Ningling to Suiyang, it has been cheered by the enemy again and again.

He fell down and was raised up again and again by the soldiers.

Even if the Chinese characters on the flag have faded, and even if the flag itself is riddled with holes, as long as it remains standing there, it will be a fishhook stuck in the throats of the rebels, leaving them unable to swallow or spit out, leaving them in a dilemma.

Dozens of men from the Tang Dynasty lay scattered under the dilapidated and proud battle flags. Some of them still had arrows on their armor, and some had the flesh and blood of the rebels on the tip of their swords, but they seemed not to notice at all.

Soundly asleep. Test text watermark 9.

They were too tired, really too tired. With just over three thousand brothers, they had to resist Linghu Chao, Yang Chaozong, Yin Ziqi and other armies, and the siege of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses was beyond the limit that ordinary people could bear. Just now.

In that battle, more than a thousand people fought back tens of thousands. How could we not be exhausted?!

But they have not been defeated, and they will never be defeated. Under the head of each sleeping soldier, there is his own bow bag. As long as he hears any abnormal noise outside the city, he will immediately jump up again, full of energy.

into battle. (Note 1)

Zhang Xun, the deputy envoy of Henan Jiedu, led several skinny soldiers, each holding a bundle of old straw mats, and slowly walked up to the city. In order to avoid disturbing the soldiers' sweet dreams, they tried to keep their steps as light as possible. Test

Text watermark 5. Every time he passes a brother, cover him with a straw mat to resist the cold weather in early spring. This is a privilege that only those who participate in the defense can enjoy, and it is the only thing Zhang Xun can provide to the brothers.

Privilege. Various materials in the city are on the verge of depletion, including clothing to keep out the cold and food to keep you hungry. As for the medicine to treat wounds, they have been cut off for many days. As the weather gradually gets warmer, the rebels who arrived at the foot of Suiyang City

There are more and more troops, and they are becoming more and more well-trained.

The rebels seem to have put all their bets here! With more than a year of experience in dealing with the rebels, Zhang Xun clearly noticed the abnormal behavior of his opponent. This means that a certain rumor may have become a fact, and it also means that

, the small town of Suiyang has become the key to the life and death of both the imperial court and the rebels. If the rebels break this city, they can drive straight into the Jianghuai River and borrow the finance, taxation, and food from the Jianghuai River to develop and grow. Test text watermark 5

.As long as the flag of the Tang Dynasty is still planted at the top of Suiyang City, the rebels will not dare to march southward boldly. The Tang army, which has turned from defense to offense, will gradually shrink the encirclement, regain Chang'an, Luoyang, and Ye.

City, plowing the streets and clearing out the gangsters from all walks of life.

Among the various Tang armies, one army's performance is particularly eye-catching. It is the Xin'an Xi Army led by Zhang Xun's old friend Wang Xun and Wang Mingyun. The ignorant young boy back then finally grew up and became a

He created an unparalleled hero. At a key point in his growth path, Zhang once gently supported and pulled him. For this reason, whenever he heard that the Xin'an Xi Army had achieved new achievements, Zhang

They are all secretly proud of it.

"Sir, Governor Xu and General Nan are back! They sneaked into the city from the north gate just now while the rebels were retreating to eat!" Fubo General Shi Chengping crept up to the top of the city and whispered in Zhang Xun's ear.

Whisper.Test text watermark 8.

His voice was not loud, but it silenced the snoring at the top of the city. Many sleeping soldiers struggled to raise their heads, their eyes full of expectation.

"What did they bring back?" Zhang Xun probably raised his voice a few minutes in order to boost morale.

"Thirty cows, fifty horses, and more than a dozen carts of grain and grass!" Shi Chengping reacted very quickly and immediately reported loudly the part that was most likely to boost morale.

"Okay, you stay here to monitor the enemy's situation, I'll go down to see Prefect Xu!" Zhang Xun nodded excitedly, handed the unfinished straw mat in his arms to Shi Chengping, and walked quickly down the horse path. Test text watermark 6.

After walking only a few steps, his feet suddenly went weak, his vision turned black, and he almost fell down. The guard behind him quickly hugged Zhang Xun tightly, and at the same time lowered his voice and called, "Sir, Master Jiedu.

What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up!"

"Don't be loud, I'm fine!" Zhang Xun tried his best to stand upright, forcing himself to stay awake, "Lend me your water bag. Put your shoulder under my armpit, be careful, don't let the brothers see it!

"

One of the guards quickly took off the water belt from his waist and held it to Zhang Xun with both hands. Another guard leaned down and quietly pressed his shoulder against Zhang Xun's left armpit. With the support of the soldiers, Zhang Xun's body was finally lifted

Stand firm. He drank a few big gulps into the water bag, and then smiled: "I am old, and my body is not as good as that of young people. Test text watermark 4. I have just stayed up all night, and my legs and feet are not feeling well. Let's go, let's go

Hurry up to the Yamen, don’t let Mr. Xu wait for us!"

"Sir...!" the guard responded in a low voice, turned over the back of his hand, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. Zhang Xun's words can't deceive anyone unless the other party forces him to believe it. One meal a day,

Each meal is just a small bowl of porridge. If things go on like this, even the strongest man will become top-heavy from hunger. What's more, Mr. Zhang is just a weak scholar, as thin as a bamboo pole, with no oil or water in his stomach to support him.

"Slaughter one of the cows that Prefect Xu brought back later to replenish the health of the brothers on the city! Let's also take the opportunity to have a tooth ceremony!" Zhang Xun also knew what his problem was, smiled, and continued to give instructions.

."Let's go and come back quickly. Test text watermark 8. Judging from the situation this morning, I'm afraid the rebels will launch another strong attack before dark."

"Yes!" The soldiers nodded with tears in their eyes. They half hugged and half carried their commander, and walked quickly down to the city. After walking for about two miles along the street paved with bluestones, they arrived at the Suiyang County Government Office.

The man was directing Minzhuang to unload the truck. When he heard Zhang Xun's footsteps, he quickly turned around, clasped his fists and saluted, "Sir, the lower official (final general) has returned from Xuzhou!"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Zhang Xun walked a few steps quickly, smiled and took the arms of the two leaders, "Master Xu, Nan Ba, you two have really made a great contribution this time. To be honest, you two,

Brothers will soon be out of food!"

"Your Excellency, I am ashamed of myself. I feel guilty..." Prefect Xu Yuan lowered his head, his face full of shame.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xun interrupted him, "Go in and talk, we'll talk while we go into the county government office. Test text watermark 9. It's windy outside, and you guys have been traveling for several days!"

"Everyone, go in! This place is left to Nan!" Nan Jiyun behaved as calmly as before, smiled, and left all the aftermath tasks to himself.

Hearing what the two of them said, Xu Yuan quickly realized his recklessness. He nodded quickly and agreed with a forced smile, "Since the Lord has given the order, how dare Xu disobey it. Come on, let's go in and drink some hot tea to warm up.

Leave this place to Nan Ba. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has the strongest bones."

The generals happily accepted the order and walked into the county government office surrounded by Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan. Soldiers trotted in to bring hot water and dried leaves, and Zhang Xun made a cup for each of them with his own hands. Test text watermark 4. Then

After slowly walking back to Shuai's case, he asked in a low voice: "How was it? Have you ever met Xu Shuji? What did he say?"

"Not only did I meet Xu Shuyi, but I also went to Shang Heng's place!" Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, replied with an angry look on his face and gritted his teeth. "Both of them excused themselves and said that they had no way to send troops to support. They only gave a few animals and

Three, two carts of brown rice. However, several large households in Yucheng heard that we were having a hard time defending in Suiyang, so they took the initiative to pay for a batch of grain!"

Although he had guessed the result just now, Zhang Xun still felt very disappointed. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask unwillingly: "Where is His Highness King Wu? Have you seen him this time?"

"He came to Henan to supervise the army on the order of the Supreme Emperor. After the new emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu, he did not recognize his identity as the chief military officer of Henan Province. Test text watermark 6. In order to avoid suspicion, he has thanked guests behind closed doors.

, I haven’t shown up for several months!” Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, shaking his head and telling a chilling fact.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, he..." Although he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xun was suppressed until his face turned black. He endured it again and again, and then forcefully swallowed the curse words back into his stomach. "Your Majesty, maybe

It was because I was deceived by a traitor. I met His Majesty when I was in Chang'an City. He is magnificent and broad-minded, and he is definitely a heroic master!"

"King Yong was patrolling east. Gao Shi and others were ordered to intercept him and have already killed him!" Xu Yuan did not refute Zhang Xun's words, but just added another embarrassing piece of news.

Yong Wang Li Lin is the direct brother of the current emperor, leading the four festivals of Shannan, Jiangxi, Lingnan and central Guizhou.

.According to the order of the Supreme Emperor of Shu, he went out to the south of the Yangtze River as the governor of Jingzhou to prevent the rebels from crossing the river. However, because this appointment was not affiliated with the Lingwu court, it turned into an attempt to support the troops and self-respect, and had evil intentions.

As a result, the Lingwu court directly issued an order to cut off all the official titles of King Yong and ordered him to shut up and think about his mistakes. The poor Yongwang Palace did not understand that his brother was ruthless at all, and wanted to use the three thousand direct descendants at hand to make a desperate struggle. As a result, Shannan Dao Jiedushi Gao

At this time, Hebei Jiedushi Huangfu Xian and others immediately gave up their defense against the north and joined forces to move south. It didn't even take half a month to completely eliminate this "rebel" in the bud.

Li Lin was hit by six arrows and was captured. He was immediately beheaded by Huangfu on the order of the emperor. His son Li Jian was also killed by the rebels. His diners and staff, including Li Bai, were either captured or missing. The news came back.

In the middle of Shu, the Supreme Emperor Li Longji sighed a few times, shed a few tears, and never issued any orders again. After this battle, the Lingwu court completely established its prestige. The government order bypassed Chang'an, which was occupied by the rebels.

, from the far north to Guangnan, it is not smooth, but no royal family member dares to violate it.

However, the emperor's brothers and nephews surnamed Li, who were previously ordered to organize troops and horses to resist the rebels, were completely chilled. They no longer dared to pay more attention to one thing or issue another order, for fear that if they were not careful, they would end up in trouble.

The same fate as King Yong.

Note 1: According to historical facts, Zhang Xun’s soldiers fought against the rebels in Yongqiu, Ningling, and Suiyang. Due to space limitations, only Suiyang was involved. The other two places were skipped.
