ps: Sorry, in the last update, I missed a few words in the description, "The meeting will last for a week." It was my mistake. I remember I wrote this sentence clearly, why is it missing?
Of course, I still have to thank Chuang Rufeng, Eagle Zhou, Magic Shrimp, Wang Xiaodao and other brothers for their rewards, as well as everyone’s monthly votes for encouragement.
Above the Luzhou official office, Li Zhen's face was red, and he patted his chest and tried his best to promise Han Yanhui the glory and wealth that seemed to be within his reach, but the effect was very little. Han Yanhui always looked at Li Zhen with a strange look,
That look seemed... like looking at a madman.
Li Zhen's generosity and passion were not exchanged for a single word. He was embarrassed for a moment, coughed, and said: "What exactly do you think, Brother Zang Ming? Can you tell me how to tell me?"
"But I don't know who will win and who will lose in the Bohequan battle?" Han Yanhui chuckled and finally spoke.
"It's just a small battle. A certain family's army numbered one million. Although tens of thousands were lost, it was just a disease caused by moss and grass. It did not damage the roots and could not be counted. Of course, although Zhen and Zang Ming didn't know each other well, they were in Dongdu.
We've already felt like old friends when we met, so I can say something from the bottom of my heart..." Li Zhen's voice suddenly decreased, pretending to be mysterious, and leaning forward, he said: "The Battle of Bohequan was indeed a setback. Although it did not damage the foundation of the army, it still affected it.
The obstruction is not small. The important generals in the army all said that the Yan army's combat power is really good and should be taken seriously. His Royal Highness the King of Liang thought about it for many days and thought about the hard work of the soldiers in the conquest, so he wanted to give up here. However, the generals
The interest was lost, and everyone was vying to send troops again... This group of soldiers always knew how to fight, alas, and did not care about the suffering of the people... It was also the prestige of King Liang that forced him to suppress it.
For the sake of confidentiality, brother Zang Ming, please don’t mention it in front of His Highness King Yan.”
After saying that, Li Zhen sighed and said: "I hope brother Zang Ming can tell King Yan quickly. This opportunity is rare. If we delay it for a while, His Highness King Liang may not be able to suppress it! These arrogant and powerful generals,
They are all masters of victory, but they are really difficult to tame... Haha, it makes Zang Ming laugh."
Han Yanhui said leisurely: "It just so happens that a certain King of Yan said yesterday that in the Battle of Bohequan, only 30% of the Yan army's officers and men participated, and most of them did not gain any military merits. His Highness the King of Yan is thinking about fighting another battle and asking all the officers to participate.
It is best to practice your skills on the battlefield. His Highness King Yan said that one actual battle is worth a hundred drills. Only by actually fighting can one be considered a good soldier. Since your army is full of fighting spirit, how about making another appointment? Time, place, whatever.
When your army comes to challenge you, the Yan army will respond to you."
Li Zhen looked embarrassed. He chuckled and said: "Zang Ming misunderstood. King Liang couldn't bear the hard work of his soldiers. For the sake of the world, it's better to give up..."
Han Yanhui waved his hand, shook his head, and said directly: "Don't make false claims. Just tell the truth. Do you want to sue for peace? Don't you want to fight? What are the conditions? Don't talk about Zelu Erzhou. Han is not three years old.
Child!"
Li Zhen's face turned green and white for a long time, and finally changed his attitude. He gritted his teeth and said: "The two families have stopped fighting. From now on, the east of the river belongs to the King of Yan!"
Han Yanhui looked at Li Zhen as if he were an idiot: "I've heard that Li Kuan is an outstanding person and a master of strategy. Why are you talking so confusingly today? Hedong is already in the hands of our army, who are you qualified to talk about where it belongs?"
"
Li Zhen's heart was so angry. He thought about Han Yanhui's cautious attitude towards him when he was in Luoyang that day. Looking at today, it turned out to be one moment and another, and he couldn't help but feel sad - no matter how strategic he was, he had no cards in his hand to play.
How can people talk about this?
For the first time, Li Zhen understood the feelings of brothers Zhu Jin, Shi Pu, Yang Chongben, Li Maozhen, Ma Yin, Lei Yanwei, Wang Chongrong, Wang Chucun and other commanders who had knelt down in front of him, and how they still had to be shy despite knowing the humiliation.
The depression with a smile on his face.
But he was depressed, so he still had to be patient and continue to fight: "If King Yan feels that it is not enough, the states in Guan Nei can also pay... Of course, King Zhongqi of the states in Guan still occupies the land of the four states. If King Qi is unwilling,
The King of Liang is willing to send troops to help, so he must withdraw. Speaking of which, King Qi has lost his old power today, and he should be satisfied if he can withdraw and protect Longyou."
Han Yanhui still shook his head, and Li Zhen finally raised the bottom line that King Liang had entrusted to him: "If you are still unwilling... King Liang is willing to become brothers with King Yan, King Yan is his brother, and King Liang is his brother. From now on, the Liang Kingdom will
He regards Yan as his elder brother and pays tribute of five hundred thousand guan every year!"
Han Yanhui continued to shake his head.
Li Zhen gritted his teeth: "One million dollars of annual tribute!" This has exceeded the bottom line of King Liang, but when it comes to preserving the army and the money and goods of annual tribute, Li Zhen believes that King Liang will definitely choose the latter. Besides, Li Zhen is more important than King Liang.
I have been around for so long, when have I ever seen King Liang keep his promise? For King Liang, agreements and promises are used to regret. Li Zhen has made up his mind, let alone one million yuan, he has agreed to two million yuan!
Han Yanhui sighed and said: "It seems you don't understand... If King Liang doesn't want to fight, you can. His Highness King Yan promised that if King Liang is really sincere, he will spare the hundreds of thousands of remaining soldiers. Today Han will only follow
Tell me, when will your army lay down their weapons and surrender? As for the King of Liang and the generals of your army, His Highness King Yan can promise not to kill them - Han assures you that King Yan's promise is much more reliable than King Liang's!"
"This..." Li Zhen's face turned red and he was furious: "King Yan is so loud! His appetite is not small! Do you think that after the coalition forces suffered a small setback, they can do whatever they want?"
Han Yanhui didn't say a word and looked at Li Zhen coldly. Li Zhen was angry and turned his head away from Han Yanhui. He didn't know it, but he was actually timid in his heart. After a long time, Li Zhen turned around and asked Han Yanhui: "Is it possible?
Your Highness, King Yan, wants the whole of Henan? I wonder if your army can survive it. Don’t forget that General Ge’s Taining Army still has 100,000 elite soldiers!”
Han Yanhui sighed: "As you said, the world has been divided for too long. Your Highness, King Yan, and the soldiers of Hebei also long for peace in the Tang Dynasty. This is not a matter of one or two states, let alone one or two states. Judge Li
Don’t you understand?”
Li Zhen was surprised and couldn't help but ask with trembling hands: "King Yan...want the world?"
Han Yanhui said nothing, with a slight sneer on his lips, as if "you didn't know until now."
After a long time, Han Yanhui solemnly said: "This is the condition. Today, you should turn around to Gaoping and quickly tell the King of Liang that within seven days, your army will lay down their weapons and stay where they are. Not a single soldier will leave the camp. Then you will have your own.
The army came to accept the surrender. As for the King of Liang, there are still a few houses in the Honor Courtyard in the north of Youzhou City, but there are not many anymore. If the King of Liang knows the truth, he will have a house in the Honor Courtyard. If not...
I haven’t told you yet, brother, that Hebei has its own Law on Preventing the Split of the Tang Dynasty, in which the term ‘canonical punishment for war criminals’ is exactly what you have set up!”
Li Zhen is Gao Ping who has recovered from despair. He has been recalling and thinking along the way, recalling the glorious past. He is thinking about why the extremely prominent Liang Jun has reached such a decline in a few months. He is so
He was so distracted that when he came out of Shihou Fort, he didn't even notice the envoys of the Shu Army and Wu Army who passed by him.
After returning to Gaoping, Li Zhenxian had a secret conversation with Jingxiang for half an hour, and then the two of them jointly asked to see the King of Liang.
Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong was lying on the floor with a pale face. After seeing the hesitant expressions of Jing Xiang and Li Zhen, he chuckled and said: "Li Chengzhong is worried about Xing Gu. Do you want Gu's life?"
Li Zhen said hurriedly: "The Yan army promised that if they lay down their weapons within seven days, His Highness will be safe, but they have to move to Youzhou..."
King Liang looked up at the bed curtain. After a long time, he said quietly: "Going to Youzhou? After the first half of the year, after Henan has been completely pacified, it will be time for surgery, right? So, can Gu still live for a while?"
Li Zhen didn't know what to say. He just kept comforting King Liang: "King Yan's faith is not bad. Maybe he has promised to do things. It's not necessarily true that he will not regret it... As long as His Highness can keep a rich body, why can't he look forward to the future?"
?”
King Liang shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Jingxiang: "Zizhen, what do you think?"
Jingxiang thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If we go to Youzhou, life and death will be in Li Chengzhong's hands... Your Highness, just abandon the army!"
There are many mountains in the east of Hedong, and the Shangdang Plain is surrounded by high mountains. Therefore, if the army is blocked from the north and the south, it will be in despair. But if King Liang really wants to escape, it is not impossible. He only needs to find a guide who is familiar with the local terrain and choose to start from
Just sneak out of a certain trail. But the price paid is too heavy. Not to mention abandoning all the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and also carrying the reputation of abandoning the army, even if we return in the future
Bianzhou's reputation will also be extremely bad. In this era where we rely on soldiers and horses to gain a foothold, how can we convince the public in the future?
But this is also the only way out. Only in this way can there be hope of escaping back to Bianzhou. For this reason, Jingxiang has been consulting maps these days, secretly looking for guides who are familiar with the local mountain roads. This matter is not difficult. He can grab a few from the mountains.
Villager hunters can do it. Jingxiang has also planned his escape route. He cannot go eastward and has to go through all kinds of hardships to escape. Over there is Hebei, the home base of the Yan army. In addition to avoiding countless pursuits by the Yan army, he also has to escape.
Consider how to cross the Yellow River. As for escaping to defend him? Jingxiang always believes that Yuan Xiangxian has betrayed him and is absolutely untrustworthy!
Both the north and the south were occupied by the Yan army, so naturally they could not take these two routes, so in the end they could only choose to go west, across the Taiyue Mountains, from Qinzhou to Jiangzhou, then south to Puzhou, from Shaanzhou to Luoyang, and then turn around.
Bianzhou. This road is a thousand miles away. On the way, you have to avoid the pursuit of the Yan army and avoid encountering the three kings of Hedong (Jingxiang still doesn’t know that the three kings have been destroyed). Don’t look at the three kings temporarily obeying the king of Liang.
However, Xuanwu in Hedong was a feudal enemy. Who said that the three kings would not take the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog?
In addition to the three kings, when bypassing Luoyang, you must also be careful not to be discovered by the emperor. The emperor's hatred for King Liang is no less than that of others! Jingxiang is also planning at the same time. After returning to Bianzhou, he must go straight
In the military camp, following the example of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, we must first seize the military power of the Bianzhou soldiers. The main force of King Liang’s direct line has been lost to the Shangdang. Who can guarantee that the military leaders under them will still be loyal to King Liang? The more soldiers and horses they have, the more loyal they are to the King of Liang.
The more military leaders there are, the greater the possibility of rebellion - including Ge Congzhou!
King Liang thought hard all night and finally listened to Jingxiang's suggestion. It was impossible to lead the army to escape. He could only select more than a hundred soldiers to stand beside him. If the noise became too big, King Liang himself would not be able to leave. So King Liang chose
Liao Shishu Cong and Kang Huaiying escaped with him, Jingxiang, and Li Zhen. Both of them could lead troops, but they both lost their tribesmen. They could only rely on the King of Liang, and the King of Liang must also rely on him after he fled back to Bianzhou.
They seized military power.
The most important thing is that the prestige of the two of them can help the king of Liang to intimidate Ge Congzhou and prevent Ge Congzhou from becoming independent or rebelling.
That night, Kang Huaiying came forward and under the banner of being ordered to patrol the camps at night, more than a hundred people left Gaoping and headed west.
