After all, Liu Fa was escorted by Wang Yuan and set off for Xining Prefecture. Xiao Tang also ordered Liu Qi, Guan Sheng, Xiao Jiasui and other generals to set off together. Before leaving, he became the enemy of those who had been enemies for many years.
Brother Cha said to Liu Fa meaningfully:
"The two armies of Xia and Song Dynasty were fighting each other, and they have accumulated a lot of new and old hatreds. I and Liu Jinglue are also the same. If anyone can get rid of the other, it should be a thorn in the side. It is said that when there are traitors in the state, if
Liu Jinglue was betrayed by a traitor, and he was wronged and humiliated, but his ambition was hard to repay. I should also express my gratitude with my forehead and hands... But somehow, compared to Liu Jinglue being framed by a traitor and being buried in humiliation, I still hope that he can die in my hands.
..."
People who have experienced hundreds of battles are worried, and they regret that they are still dead. Liu Fa somewhat understands the meaning of Chage's words. Compared with being framed and persecuted by Xiaoxiao of the same dynasty, he was buried in humiliation and died in depression. He died in battle as a general.
The battlefield may be the best destination.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty in Bianting probably also moved to the boundary of Qurongwei, a branch of the Lanzhou Command and Envoys Department. The military envoys sent by Xiaotang had also agreed with the Xia army to settle in the northwest of Lanzhou on Yanyan Road.
Prisoners of war were exchanged ten miles north of Jingyuguan. There were a large number of Song troops in the south, and Xia troops under Cha Ge were also gathered in the north. Both sides had to beware of each other's manipulation.
Just in case, the place where the two sides exchanged prisoners was located in a long and narrow valley. The Song and Xia armies deployed a large number of soldiers and horses at the rear. The terrain between the valleys was not suitable for a sudden charge, and there were few trees around.
Setting up a large number of ambushes is also a very safe place for exchange.
Here, Xiao Tang ordered all the soldiers and horses, and escorted Brother Cha. He immediately set off to the north of Jingyuguan to verify the prisoners of war with the Xia army, and released and collected them together. Although the preparations were a little hasty, Xiao Tang was worried that when Tong Guan learned that he would not
After handing over Brother Cha, they sent soldiers and horses to obstruct the situation, which caused trouble. However, Xiao Tang led his troops and fought with the Xia army to the place where prisoners of war were exchanged, and each sent a ranger sentry to check whether there were any traps set by the other side nearby.
At the time of the ambush, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses had already moved quickly to Xining Prefecture. Kang Jie, whose leg was broken by Xiao Tang, ordered his horses to go ahead and rushed to the Xuan Commander Festival Hall to report what happened to Tong Guan.
.....
At this time, in the inner room of the festival hall, an official was presenting to the Privy Council of Bianjing a reward and punishment for the poor army. He said to Tong Guan: "Xihe Road Manager Liu Fa violated the commander's control and led the army.
The rash advance resulted in a major defeat for our army. The Xia thieves took advantage of the situation and invaded the border. In total, more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians were killed under Liu Fa's command. Commander Tong Xuan divided his troops and horses to attack them, but the Xia thieves could not rest. Commander Tong Xuan took advantage of the situation to destroy the bandits.
A thief, he defeated the Xia chieftain and captured the Tibetan king Chage alive..."
After hearing this, Tong Guan snorted heavily and said gloomily: "Capture King Chage of Tibet? Where is he now?"
Seeing the official hesitating and not knowing how to answer, Tong Guan became even more annoyed and shouted sternly: "Get out!"
After the official was so shocked that he was pissed, and quickly exited the inner room, Tong Guan, who was tall and majestic, leaned back heavily and exposed his temples with force. When he slowly opened his eyes,
The expression on his face was a little less open-minded and heroic than he had deliberately pretended to be in the past, and his eyes were full of viciousness. All the attendants in the inner room of the hall where he was staying also shouted and left, and the remaining few confidants looked at Xuan.
The handsome man looked unkind, and neither of them even dared to take a breath, they just bowed their heads and waited for Tong Guan's order.
At this time, Tong Guan was not only angry and angry, but also confused in his heart. He didn't understand that Xiao Tang wanted to go against him. What was his purpose?
Xiao Tang's child with a yellow mouth was born in the left-behind department of Daming Prefecture, and Liang Shijie, the left-behind prime minister of Daming Prefecture, was the son-in-law of Grand Master Cai. Through this relationship, Xiao Tang could get the support of Cai's party, and if he was favored by the official family, a certain family would also be willing to do so. Being on good terms with that guy, I treated him well in the past... Relying on the power of Taishi Cai and a certain family inside and outside the court, and in the military, as long as Xiao Tang was willing to submit, he would sooner or later gain great power in the Song Dynasty military , after all, a certain family is already sixty-five years old... The child is in the prime of his youth, but he is so impatient, and he is determined to bring trouble to a certain family?
For Tong Guan, military power is his enemy. Anyone who blocks his way when he seeks military power will inevitably attract Tong Guan's resentment. But Tong Guan knows why Zhong Shidao fights openly and covertly with him, and he also understands Why did he want to take advantage of the right opportunity to get rid of Liu Fa? But when Kang Jie tipped him off about the meeting between Xiao Tang and Zhong Shidao, he had a vague intention of leaning towards the Zhong family in the power struggle between the Western Army and Xiao Tang. Tang led his troops without authorization to rescue Liu Fa, who was destined to die. These things were somewhat beyond Tong Guan's expectation.
Of course, Tong Guan would not have known what serious consequences would be caused by his fighting for power in the army a few years later, nor would he have expected that even if he fulfilled the eunuch's wish to be crowned king, he would still be in the army after all. The true nature of the country was revealed when it really needed the country's generals to resist foreign humiliation. In the end, it ended up hanging in public and being scolded by future generations for thousands of years. Moreover, in Tong Guan's view, using some means to persecute some of the country's great achievements can hinder the country's great achievements. The generals of the country who have their own dream of becoming kings are nothing. Now that the power is in hand, one general can accomplish tens of thousands of bones and save tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of lives. For Tong Guan, who has entered his twilight years and is increasingly eager for success. The words were nothing, but to Xiao Tang it was really a big mistake, even a complete bastard.
Although they have different paths, they still do not seek each other.
Tong Guan exhaled another long breath, and his face became even more gloomy, as if it could drip water. Tong Guan's confidants present also knew that although Commander Xuan was trying his best to stay calm, he was extremely furious in his heart. Originally, Master Zhong Dao Yudong had great victories one after another. Even if he resorted to tricks, Tong Guan had to stabilize his position in the Western Army. Who would have expected that Xiao Tang would intervene and save a damned person, but instead After accomplishing a remarkable feat, Tong Guan also gave Xiao Tang a last chance to express his stance, but that guy actually broke the legs of the subordinate Tong Guan sent to him. Didn't this make it clear that he would fight Commander Xuan to the end? ?
Perhaps because he couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere at the scene, Liu Yanqing swallowed his saliva and immediately said angrily: "Tong Xuanshuai, Xie clearly wanted to promote Xiao Tang, but it happened that the boy didn't know how to promote him, and he let Xie down. All the hard work! This guy is probably relying on the favor of the officials. Not only did he act on his own initiative before, but now he refuses to hand over the captured Tibetan king and even injured the general sent by Commander Xuan. This is enough to show his intentions!
The humble official believed that Xiao Tang was ignorant of good and evil and uncontrolled, so the Commander-in-Chief Xuan could issue a Jun order and send troops to escort him to Xining Prefecture to await his punishment. All the generals who followed him and disobeyed the Commander-in-Chief's orders would also be punished, and they would be able to seize the prize at that time. Come to Na Cha Ge and go to Bianjing to meet the official, so that you can accuse him of his crimes! Are you afraid that he will go to heaven?"
But before Liu Yanqing finished speaking, Tong Guan's pair of cold moves came to him again. Just when Liu Yanqing couldn't help but tremble all over, Tong Guan said in a cold voice: "Escort Xiao Tang here. Punish the crime? Punish the generals who followed him at the same time? Accuse him of his crimes in front of the officials? In the Xiao and Tang Dynasties, the envoys were responsible for supervising the army. , instead, a certain family will be under his supervision! Since Xiao Tang's son does not obey the orders of a certain family's commander as a rule, he led his troops to rescue the tribesmen who were besieged by Xia thieves, and indeed led his troops to resist the Xia thieves' army and support the side court. The soldiers and civilians moved south and made great contributions. You tell a certain family what Xiao Tang's son should be punished for, and how a certain family should report him to the officials?
Accused that Xiao Tang Feiyang was domineering and broke the legs of Yu Hou of Tiaojing Lue Mansion? Do you think the officials would care about such trivial matters? He said that Xiao Tang negotiated with Xia thieves without permission, and it was indeed him who captured Brother Cha, the King of Fan. When the captured generals and thousands of civilians come back, do you think you can stop them all from talking about Xiao Tang's illicit intentions of collaborating with the enemy? That kid is on his own. Although a certain family can do something with it. The article has the character of an official, do you think this will kill him?"
