"This is a national war!" Han Ji said calmly, "At this time, any words or deeds that can damage the enemy's morale should be praised."
Yang Xuan looked at Zhang Wen while holding the horizontal knife that was still bleeding.
"Spare my life!" Zhang Wen was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and the stench made him want to vomit.
"I'm so scared." Wang Laoer took one look and felt disgusted.
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand.
Zhang Wen took the initiative to bring his head over and let Yang Xuan touch it smoothly. He also moved a little, as if he was a puppy that felt comfortable being touched.
"Take it!"
Zhang Wen kowtowed happily, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Zhan Wentao trembled all over, "Kill me!"
Zhang Wen looked at him with complicated eyes, thinking that this dandy boy who came to get gold was actually a bit bloody.
Yang Xuan raised his sword.
Swinging the sword horizontally.
Zhan Wentao screamed: "The villain is willing to surrender!"
The horizontal knife was placed on his neck.
The remaining blood stuck to his skin.
"The villain is willing to surrender!" Zhan Wentao collapsed and kowtowed: "The villain is willing to be Yang Shijun's dog."
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Want to be my dog?"
"yes."
"Then let me see the value of your dog!"
Yang Xuan walked into the county government office.
"Let me go to the Central Route Army to report that Songcheng has been captured."
"Yes." Wang Shu agreed.
He walked out of the hall and said to his subordinates: "This man uses his weapons to appear and disappear without leaving any trace. He is also decisive in killing. I began to think that it might be a good thing to follow him on this trip."
Outside, Zhan Wentao and Zhang Wen were kneeling.
After escaping from death, Zhang Wen felt comfortable all over, except that his lower body was a little messed up by feces and urine.
"Young man, can you go and wash yourself off?" he asked the sergeant guarding him cautiously.
"Hold it!"
The sergeant replied roughly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Wenying smiled. When he turned around and saw Zhan Wentao's disdainful look, he scolded: "A thief joins the army, but he actually wants to be a dog!"
Zhan Wentao was still panting, fear and regret.
"You want to do it but you can't!"
"Ha!" Zhang Wen said disdainfully: "An army with thieves is an army with thieves. Even if you surrender, I still have to hold my head high."
"Envoy!" There was a greeting voice inside, and then Yang Xuan walked out.
"Send people to go to Shangnan and Huangzhou to investigate. Be careful." Yang Xuan stood on the steps and glanced at the two of them, "Both of you want to be a dog?"
Zhan Wentao smiled flatteringly, "Yes."
Yang Xuan glanced at Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen spoke.
"Woof, woof woof woof!"
…
Huocheng.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered under the city, and figures flashed on top of the city. The offensive and defensive battle had reached its most intense moment.
Zhang Huan and the civil and military forces of Nanjiang are watching the battle.
"Is there any news about the Right Army?"
As the commander of the march, Zhou Zun was in control of these news exchanges. He said: "An hour ago, news came from the right army that General Shi was attacking Jingze."
"Shi Zhongtang is fierce and brave, Izawa is no big deal, we just have to be quick, otherwise Huo Cheng will wait. Should I continue to advance, or should I wait for him?"
Zhou Zun was silent.
"Where's the Left Army? Please tell me."
"Yes." Zhou Zun nodded, and then someone left.
"Worried about your son-in-law?" Zhang Huan asked with a smile.
He is not from the same family, but there is no need to offend them.
So he sat back and watched the Yue King and Zhang Chumao's actions of colluding with civil and military officials in southern Xinjiang. Of course, he should have reported it to Chang'an secretly.
As for how the emperor wants to deal with it, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhou Zun, the head of the Zhou family, was thrown to southern Xinjiang by Yang Songcheng this time. Zhang Huan could also guess the purpose, which was to let Zhang Chumao and the King of Yue dig more holes for Zhou Zun.
During this period, Zhang Chumao secretly gave Zhou Zun small shoes to wear several times. Zhang Huan watched with cold eyes, watching Zhou Zun calmly solve the problems one by one.
Zhou Zun said with a smile: "Zitai is used to fighting in northern Xinjiang, so I'm worried that he will get jealous."
hehe!
Zhang Chumao smiled and said, "Zhou Changshi has full confidence in your son-in-law!"
Zhou Zun said calmly: "You want to be the governor of Northern Xinjiang, but you have no real military exploits. Huang Chunhui can kick you to Chang'an. My son-in-law is not good at anything else, so he is good at fighting. Deputy Ambassador Zhang has been to Northern Xinjiang before.
, you should know, right?”
Back then, Zhang Chumao, backed by a family of four surnames, led the southern Xinjiang reinforcements to northern Xinjiang as the deputy envoy of the Southern Xinjiang Festival. At that time, he was very ambitious and wanted to take over Huang Chunhui's position. Who knew that after the battle, his true abilities would be revealed
.Finally returned in embarrassment.
This is a slap in the face!
Zhang Chumao smiled.
Zhou Zun smiled.
"My son-in-law is on the left side of the road. He is a philanthropic boy." Zhou Zun smiled very reservedly, as if he belonged to a well-connected family. "I don't want anyone to force him to be a bad person."
He said slowly: "Let me do this evil thing."
This is a clear warning to Zhang Chumao.
Zhang Chumao said calmly: "This is the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Is this the first time that Zhou Shilang has seen a battle formation?"
"right."
"Does Minister Zhou know Lei Qi's name?"
"I just found out about the famous general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"Lei Qi is in Huangzhou now."
Zhang Chumao smiled and said, "Famous generals from Northern Xinjiang will fight against famous generals from Southern Zhou. I am looking forward to this battle."
Lei Qi?
Zhou Zun was a little worried, but he smiled calmly, "I'll wait and see."
The King of Yue asked: "What about Lei Qi?"
"Lei Qi is a general." Zhang Chumao said: "He stood out in the battle to exterminate the rebels and natives, and was called one of the famous generals of Southern Wednesday."
"Three famous generals?" The King of Yue said with a smile, "Which three?"
"Zhu Shou, Bai Xiong, Lei Qi." Zhang Chumao said: "Zhu Shou is from a family of Confucian generals, and Bai Xiong is also a general."
Zhang Huan silently watched the offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city, but the King of Yue was not worried, "Does Prime Minister Zhang know about these three famous generals?"
Zhang Huan nodded, "Lei Qi is good, but the Lei family has foreign blood, so he has never been reused."
The King of Yue glanced at Zhou Zun and saw that he still looked calm, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"What do you think, Minister Zhou?"
Zhou Zun must be worried. This worry is like a wound, which was opened again and again by Zhang Chumao and Yue Wang.
"What does the king want to know? In other words, what ending does the king want?" Zhou Zun looked at the King of Yue.
Is this... right?
Zhou Zun actually carried the King of Yue head-on... which made Zhang Huan look at him with suspicion.
Do you really think that the head of the Zhou family will give the prince face?
That was required by etiquette. When Zhou Zun felt that he did not need to follow those rules, he slapped the King of Yue.
At this moment, Zhou Zun's eyes were full of indifference.
Just when Zhang Huan was about to start a fight, he saw more than ten cavalry coming from the left, led by his subordinates.
"It's the Northern Xinjiang Army!"
A general said.
Zhang Chumao glanced at Zhou Zun and said, "It's the messenger."
Zhou Zun's heart skipped a beat.
Of course he knew about Lei Qi. After knowing that he would come to Southern Xinjiang, the Zhou family launched their own network of contacts and continuously inquired about a lot of information about Southern Zhou.
Lei Qi inherited the advantages of the Lei family, he was brave and good at fighting, and he was ruthless and decisive in his military use. He was a rare general in the Southern Zhou army.
After learning that Lei Qi had appeared in Huangzhou, Zhou Zun was a little worried.
Worry is worry, but he can't express it.
Even though he had not studied the art of war seriously, Zhou Zun still knew that the general's thinking should not be disrupted before a battle.
Therefore, he could only wait for the news.
Now, the news has come.
The King of Yue looked calm.
Zhang Chumao is looking at Zhou Zun... As a son-in-law, he must find his way back to his father-in-law.
The leader is a team leader.
Approaching, Zhang Huan asked: "How about the left road?"
As long as the internal disputes are not serious, Zhang Huan will not care. But if anyone stumbles his colleagues during the fight, he will be sorry.
The team shouted loudly: "The king will destroy Songcheng!"
"Okay!" Zhang Huan said with a red face: "The victory of the left army flag is a good start for our army. Come on!"
A general rode out.
Zhang Huan said: "Spread the news of victory to the whole army!"
More than ten sergeants with loud voices were summoned and immediately sent to various locations.
"The left army defeated Songcheng and won the first battle!"
The good news triggered cheers from the Central Army.
"Wan Sheng!"
The cheers reached the top of the city, and the two armies who were fighting fiercely were stunned for a moment.
Songcheng was destroyed like this?
Calculated based on the distance, it only takes two days.
Break through Songcheng in two days!
So, how about Huocheng?
A general shouted: "We will destroy Huo City today!"
"Attack!" The generals took off their armor and went into battle shirtless.
"Kill!" Teams of sergeants rushed to the top of the city under their leadership.
Chinese Army.
Zhou Zun punched hard.
"Well done!"
Zhang Chumao whispered: "He defeated Songcheng and took the lead, but there is no news about Shi Zhongtang."
The King of Yue said calmly: "They are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think is yours and mine?"
This is really heartless!
If Shi Zhongtang fails in this battle, the King of Yue will step on him if he turns around.
As expected of the current emperor, ruthless and shameless... Zhang Chumao was quite happy.
The team is talking about the battle.
"...On the first day there were only three waves of crossbows, and then we set up camp."
Zhang Huan nodded, "It's interesting to let the enemy hit everything with one punch."
The King of Yue was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What does this mean?"
Zhang Chumao said: "The enemy troops were united and prepared for a hard fight, but he didn't fight."
This is obviously a hooligan act!
"...On the morning of the second day, the commander ordered five thousand infantry to attack the east of the city. The enemy sent all their main forces to fight. When the fighting was fierce, our elite troops in the west of the city suddenly launched a surprise attack and destroyed the city in one fell swoop."
It's very simple.
But Zhang Huan knew the power contained in it.
Observation, decision-making, timing of implementation... Every judgment and decision made by the Lord at this time will have different consequences.
Even if he didn't like the Northern Xinjiang Army getting involved in this battle, Zhang Huan still turned around and said to Zhou Zun: "Your son-in-law is really amazing!"
…
Izawa City is in a state of turmoil at the moment.
The Tang army attacked fiercely, and every time it seemed that they were about to make a breakthrough, a veteran general came up with a reserve team brandishing a machete.
After some killing, the situation became stable again.
Shi Zhongtang said with a sullen face, "Let brothers be more ruthless."
Chunyu said: "It should have been like this a long time ago!"
Shi Zhongtang shook his head and lowered his voice, "I am a general. If I order my brothers harshly, some people will be dissatisfied and say that I, a foreigner, don't take the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty seriously."
Chunyu scolded: "It's so difficult to be a general!"
"Who says it's not the case!" Shi Zhongtang said sadly: "As a general, even if I have made military exploits, I will be ranked behind, but what can I do? If I fight... it will make things difficult for my husband."
The generals around him couldn't help but sigh.
Chunyu said: "The Left Route Army is now facing the famous Southern Zhou general Lei Qi. I think it will be a tough battle."
"There is a messenger of good news!"
A group of people came galloping over.
A general laughed and said: "It was probably my husband who destroyed Huo City."
The messenger approaches.
"The left army defeated Songcheng and won the first battle."
The messenger said in a stern voice: "My husband asked General Shi, when will Jingze be broken?"
Shi Zhongtang took a deep breath and said, "Please let the envoy watch!"
The messenger was puzzled.
Shi Zhongtang turned around and said, "Remove armor!"
Take off the armor.
Shi Zhongtang pulled out his horizontal sword and said, "Follow me!"
Chunyu's eyes turned red, "Follow the general!"
More than a hundred guards followed Shi Zhongtang and ran forward.
"Get out of the way!"
The soldiers turned around one after another.
Shi Zhongtang rushed over with a horizontal knife.
"It's General Shi!"
"General Shi personally charged and killed him!"
Amid the cheers, the veteran Southern Zhou general at the top of the city had a slightly cold look in his eyes, "Bow and arrow!"
He handed the machete to his subordinate, reached out to take the long bow, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and let go towards the running Shi Zhongtang.
call out!
Shi Zhongtang, who was running, rushed forward to the left and the arrow missed.
But just as he turned around, a second arrow flew in, blocking his evasive route.
A flurry of arrows!
The sword flashed, and with a clang, the arrow was chopped into two pieces.
Such eyesight, such sword skills!
Shi Zhongtang rushed to the city, "Get out of the way!"
"General Shi is here!"
The sergeant who was climbing the ladder either rushed up desperately or jumped down.
"General, shield!" A sergeant handed over the shield.
Shi Zhongtang patted his shoulder with his left hand, "You will need it more later!"
He held the ladder with one hand and the horizontal knife with the other, and rushed up.
Below, the sergeant followed closely with red eyes!
An old soldier cursed: "The generals are here, what are you waiting for? Brothers..."
"Kill!"
It will be the courage of the soldiers!
This is absolutely true!
Shi Zhongtang took the lead in rushing to the top of the city.
The sword light flashed almost simultaneously.
The machete screamed and killed from the waist.
Shi Zhongtang's horizontal sword stood upside down at his side.
One is a two-handed machete, the other is a one-handed...
In full view of everyone, the two knives collided together.
clang!
The horizontal knife shrank, and the machete passed by Shi Zhongtang's chest and abdomen.
Returned without success.
The moment when the horizontal sword was blocked, the direction of the machete was changed.
The sword passed across the veteran's neck.
Shi Zhongtang held the head in one hand and roared at the Southern Zhou people.
"Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers of the Tang army at the top of the city and below the city couldn't help shouting in unison.
"Wan Sheng!"
The envoy looked at this scene and couldn't help but praise: "What a Shi Zhongtang!"
There is no suspense about the ensuing war.
Half an hour later, Shi Zhongtang appeared in the government office lobby in the city.
"Chun Yu!"
Chunyu was bandaging the wound on his back shoulder, "What's the matter?"
"That man... is a powerful enemy!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Yang Xuan!"
…
At this moment, Yang Xuan was in the home of a wealthy family in Songcheng.
The owner's family consists of more than ten people.
Host and hostess.
Both sons are married, each with a wife and children.
"Greetings to the envoy."
The male host Jiang Ge knelt down.
Behind him, the whole family knelt down in unison.
Yang Xuangang finished looking at the captures from this battle and was not very satisfied.
"What is this for?"
Zhang Wenxiao smiled and said: "This person is the in-law of Qian Nan, the governor of Huangzhou. His eldest daughter is married to Qian Nan's nephew."
This person reminded Yang Xuan of the translator he saw in the scroll.
Jiang Ge trembled all over, "I'm not fighting."
There is a young girl kneeling behind her. The girl raises her head and is full of heroic spirit.
"Are you Yang Xuan?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
call out!
As soon as the girl waved her hand, a black dot appeared in front of Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan didn't move.
Lin Feibao next to him flicked his finger.
Boom!
Black clicked through the roof and passed through.
But the girl had already flown in front of him, opened her red lips, and spat out.
