Li Siye was indifferent to Sun Xiaozhe's kneeling and licking, and asked with an arrogant smile: "You only know how to kiss boots, then what's the use of you?"
Sun Xiaozhe raised his head in fear: "The child doesn't understand what his adoptive father means."
The other party was not interested in answering his words, and only ordered coldly: "Come here, pull him down..."
"Don't stop! The righteous father." Sun Xiaozhe quickly touched the ground and slammed for more than ten times. "I can bring you a way, I can also kill you ... kill you
People, rob treasures, collect the world’s wealth, and the world’s beauties!”
All the generals under Li Siye lowered their heads and looked down upon him, despising this kind of flattering villain to the extreme.
Zhang Tongru, who was tied to the side and stood proudly, was also shocked and angry. He cursed at Sun Xiaozhe: "You Khitan dog slave! As a man, you should stand upright and live without regrets. If you die, you will die. How can you be like this?
Kneel down!"
Sun Xiaozhe turned around and counterattacked: "Why are you pretending to be noble? If you are really a scholar-official with integrity, you should not abandon the court and join the rebel An Lushan!"
"Imperial court?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Liushou sneered: "I thought that in the first year of Tianbao, I had already passed the Jinshi examination, just because my family was poor and had no connections. However, the high officials in the imperial court were in power, and they all followed Li Linfu.
If the party is not allowed to enter, it will never get ahead. I have read poetry and books but have been a minor official for ten years. If it were not for Emperor Shengwu’s discernment and discernment to promote me, how could I be today? In my opinion, Li
The power of the Tang Dynasty has been exhausted, and the fate of the Yan Dynasty lies with me. Even if you have many soldiers and generals, Prince Xiliang, you cannot go against the will of heaven. I think it is better to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, surrender to my Yan country as soon as possible, and grant you the title of a member of the opposite sex who divides the territories.
So what about the king?"
"What a profit-making tongue," Li Siye laughed and said, "You are indeed a scholar. An Lushan massacred the city, robbed, and killed people indiscriminately, just like a thief. But you praise him like a flower. If such a thief really gets the chance,
The world is the regression of civilization and the catastrophe of Kyushu. As long as you still have the backbone in your body, I will not humiliate you and leave your body intact."
"Come here, hang Zhang Tongru and find a place to bury him alive in Bailuyuan."
At this time, two executioners had already come forward, escorting Zhang Tongru to a place with trees. The scholar turned sideways, bowed to Li Siye and said, "Thank you, Prince Xiliang."
Sun Xiaozhe was still waiting eagerly with his head raised. He smiled at Li Siye and said, "Father, this person is pedantic and ridiculous. It is not a pity to die! Please ask the Holy Father to spare my life."
Dai Wang, the commander of the march, whispered beside Li Siye: "My lord, this person is seeking glory behind my back. He is following power, not you, my lord. I hope my lord will get rid of this person as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
Li Siye nodded slightly in agreement and said loudly to everyone: "Now the traitor Zhang Tongru has been fighting stubbornly and has been killed in the formation. The traitor Sun Xiaozhe has been captured alive and must be taken back to Chang'an and handed over to the imperial court."
"Father!" Sun Xiaozhe was about to burst into tears: "Father, I have no enmity with you, you can't let me down like this! I am useful to you, I am of great use to you! Please open the network of your foster father.
one side!"
Li Siye turned a deaf ear and did not even look at him. He only said lightly: "Separate Sun Xiaozhe's hand tendons and hamstrings and put him in a prison car and send him back to Chang'an. Don't let him escape."
Sun Xiaozhe suddenly looked horrified and shouted in fear: "You can't kill me! You can't kill me! Leave me alive!"
Four executioners had already come forward, holding Sun Xiaozhe's arms and dragging him away. The convulsive screams gradually became distant and weakened.
Duan Xiushi crossed his hands and asked, "Doctor, what should we do with these surrendered rebels?"
"Temporarily remove the armor and weapons, distribute winter clothes and rice grains, and let Yan Xiaosi lead the artillery battalion and the Ning Kou army to garrison in Bashang. After we have eliminated Li Guiren together, we will integrate them into the Hexi armies.
middle."
The 15,000 rebels who surrendered were elite soldiers and generals of Fanyang Town. They were able to survive the war and passed through the sieve like a big wave washing through the sand. Although there are some problems with their loyalty, as long as they disrupt the organizational structure, they can become a small army.
If you ask the basic officers to train more in the future, there will naturally be no hindrance.
Li Siye spurred his horse and turned around and ordered the generals: "The rest of the army, follow me to pursue the rebel Li Guiren's tribe."
"Here!" The generals' shouts were like thunder.
The three armies under Siye raised their battle flags and marched directly to Bailuyuan, from Lantian County to Shangluo County. Going south from Shangluo County, they reached Wuguan, the only way to Nanyang. This road is also called Wuguan Road.
.
As the southern gate of Guanzhong, Wuguan was once the main battlefield for the confrontation between Qin and Chu. Now it is the main channel connecting Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jianghuai and other places. The Dan River flows down and merges into the Han River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. From the county to the city
There are six post stations between Shangluo and Wuguan, among which Sihao Station is derived from Sihao of Shangshan, a famous scholar in the early Han Dynasty.
After the rebels in Shangluo County learned that Chang'an had been lost, they had already abandoned the city and fled to Wuguan. The army led by Wang Sili occupied Shangluo first and then quickly went south to recapture Wuguan.
After all, the cavalry led by Li Guiren was a step too late. If he had known that Tongguan was breached and fled to Wuguan in advance, the tragic situation of being blocked at Wuguan would not have happened.
He organized the Tonglu cavalry and Lulong troops to knock on the pass several times. Fierce fighting took place from morning to afternoon, leaving thousands of corpses at the base of the city wall, but they were still unable to move forward a step.
The next day, Li Siye led the three armies to Shangluo County and blocked the road in and out of Wuguan. Li Guiren finally became a turtle in the urn and had nowhere to escape.
…
When An Shouzhong led 3,000 Yiluohe to reach Pujin Ferry on the Yellow River, Guo Ziyi led 20,000 Shuofang troops who had already occupied the ferry and reinforced the defensive earthen fortress. The wooden boats on the shore were still tied to the ferry.
Guo Ziyi did not choose to burn them, the purpose was to give An Shouzhong hope that he could break through the earth fortress and seize the ship.
An Shouzhong and the Yiluohe cavalry saw dozens of boats on the river, and they were eager to see them. But Shuofang's army lying in front of them was an insurmountable obstacle. His eyes were red and he pulled the reins of his horse, a group of sworn brothers and righteous brothers.
The disciples gathered around him, waiting for the backbone to make a decision.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do? If we go south again and are stranded, the Tang army has already occupied all the prefectures and counties, and the only place we can escape is here."
An Shouzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Who said that only Pujin Ferry can cross? We can go further north along the Yellow River to Longmen Ferry in the upper reaches."
"Retreat!" An Shouzhong held the flag behind his back and pointed his sword directly at the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Thousands of war horses followed the direction of his sword, crowding around and running in the dust.
Seeing that the enemy was about to escape, Guo Ziyi quickly formed a formation to attack, following An Shouzhong in an attempt to eliminate him on the beach of the Yellow River.
"Sworn brother, Shuofang's army is catching up!"
An Shouzhong quickly turned the horse's head and laughed loudly: "Guo Ziyi has been fooled! The upstream Longmen Crossing is more than 400 miles away from here. We are short of men and horses. If we insist on going north, we will be overtaken by it. It is better to turn around and catch him in one fell swoop.
They were defeated and captured Pujin Ferry!"
"Kill! Charge into Shuofang's central army and kill Guo Ziyi!"
Yiluohe's galloping war horses made a half-circle on the edge of the Yellow River, and quickly charged towards the pursuing Shuofang Army cavalry.
Guo Ziyi was shocked and shouted: "The cavalry blocks the enemy! The infantry forms a formation!"
He personally held the horned bow and led his troops to attack the enemy. After more than sixty steps, he fully stretched the bowstring and fired. The arrows were like locusts drawing black tracks in the air. The troops of the Yiluo River first leaned over
They avoided the arrows on horseback. After the wave of arrows hit the ground, everyone stood up at the same time, raised their hands to find the target and fired straight at them. They were as fast as a rabbit kicking an eagle. There were hundreds of Shuofang cavalry who were hit by arrows, and most of them covered their heads.
He fell face to face and died under the horse.
"Kill!" An Shouzhong put away his horned bow and charged forward with his horse carriage tucked under his arm. The horse carriage team of hundreds of people dragging Luohe formed a forward formation as they ran, separated from the enemy's scattered cavalry formation.
It went in.
The front arrow array is like an isosceles triangle, with horse teams holding armor-breaking horse guns on both sides. The cavalry in the center continues to collect arrows from the gaps in the team, and kills nearby targets one after another. These father and son
The soldiers' cooperation was as tight and tacit as an infantry formation on the ground.
Shuofang's cavalry formation was defeated in one fell swoop, followed by the infantry formation behind them. They did not keep enough distance from the enemy, so in just a short moment, the cavalry formation had already rushed forward.
"Slow down!"
An Shouzhong was at the forefront of the attack. He picked off two enemy spearmen one after another with his horse and opened a hole in the infantry formation. The Shuofang Army's infantry formation was broken through in the center and cut into two sections.
.Yiluohe took advantage of the situation to expand his victory, rushed into the enemy formation and slashed left and right with his sword, stirring up a huge whirlpool in the enemy formation, and the enemy troops were defeated and fled.
General Pugu Huai'en was furious when he saw this, and immediately organized the few Mo Dao troops in the army to attack the side of the enemy's formation, killing more than a dozen cavalrymen of the Ma Li team. The Yiluohe cavalry quickly escaped from Shuofang's army.
, taking advantage of the speed of the horses, surrounding Shuofang's military formation and gathering arrows.
For a time, Shuofang's army formation broke down and almost fell into a rout.
