Chapter eight hundred and eighty third burning in anger
"Alang, Erlang!" The steward of the family suddenly burst in from outside the garden excitedly: "Something big, something big happened!"
Guo Yingyi angrily scolded: "What's going on? Why are you so surprised today?"
The steward said breathlessly: "No, I just went out to Nanshi to do some shopping, and I heard from the people who came back from outside the city that General Yan Wu has returned with the Jiannan soldiers!"
Guo Yinggan was shocked, put his hands on the steward's shoulders and asked, "What did you say? Is it just hearsay?"
"Yan Wu is still alive?" Guo Yingyi thought deeply with his eyes wide open, and then he raised his hand and beat his knees with regret: "Sure enough, soldiers never tire of deceit! We were all fooled, and so was Li Long! Why didn't I persist in admonishing him to death? Why didn't I?
Think about it, even if you are defeated with your strong military skills, you won't be caught and beheaded!"
They knew Li Siye's plan, but it was too late. Chengdu had fallen into Li Siye's hands. The Unity Camp was controlled by the surrendering Cui brothers. Millions of grains in the city fell into the hands of the enemy, which made Yan Wu homeless.
Stray dogs, this is really ridiculous, sad and hateful!
Guo Yingqian clasped his hands and said: "General Yan Wu is back, maybe there will be a turning point."
"No," Guo Yingyi shook his head dejectedly and said, "He will face a dead end when he comes back. He should lead his army to retreat to central Guizhou."
…
On Li Siye's way back to the camp, Duan Xiushi asked behind him in confusion: "The Guo brothers have no extraordinary talent, and their ability to lead troops in battle is mediocre. They are not outstanding generals. Why does the lord think so highly of them?"
."
He laughed and said: "You are right, the Guo brothers are indeed not very talented, but they are still useful in Chengdu. I want to use them to control Cui Ning and Cui Mi, so that they will not be alone in Shu in the future.
Dominate the country and form an independent kingdom. But I can’t dampen their enthusiasm too much, so I don’t plan to leave any soldiers in Shu and let them form their own ecological circle of mutual checks and balances. The many talents under my command cannot be wasted.
In this place. More importantly, I am preparing to organize the drafting of a system that can prevent local forces from forming forces to compete with the central government. Once implemented, it will not be a problem to implement it stably for at least hundreds of years."
Wei Yingwu crossed his arms beside him and praised: "My lord is far-sighted and far-sighted, and not mediocre people like me can predict it."
He turned around and said with a smile: "Even you, Wei Yingwu, have become mediocre? This flattery is not very good."
At this time, Li Siye's tooth general hurriedly came from a distance, crossed his hands in front of him and said: "My Lord, Yan Wu has led the Jiannan Army to the city to call for formation."
"Great, we just happened to go to the city wall to take a look. You go and invite the former Jiedushi Li Hong and his colleagues to the city wall to see how I can anger Yan Wu."
Under the coercion of Li Siye, the culprits who advocated the dedication of the city were all driven to the city wall. Jiedushi Li Xiang's face was full of shame. He was really shameless to face Yan Wu. The other surrenderers were okay and felt a little guilty.
They wear sleeves to cover their faces, and some simply hold out their stomachs to feel content, but these are all things that don’t require a face.
Yan Wuxu's blood surged, and his face turned pale with anger. He held the horse's rein tightly in his hand, and the horse ran back and forth in front of the city angrily. His eyes glared at every rebel on the city wall.
.
Li Siye held his hand on the wall and waved to Yan Wu: "General Yan, today I am the host and you are the guest. What else can you say when you come to my city in Chengdu?"
"Bah! Don't be complacent, Mr. Li. I, Yan Wu, have returned to Chengdu today just to take your head. How dare you lead your army out of the city to fight with my 30,000 Jiannan soldiers?"
"Haha," Li Siye laughed loudly and said: "In the past, when you occupied the city of Shu County, I could only sacrifice my troops and generals to attack it. But now that I have obtained Chengdu without any effort, how can I give up the advantage of the city and go to fight with you in the field?"
Yan Wu shouted loudly and cursed: "They say that the Hexi Army under the command of the King of Xiliang is the strongest in the world. I think they are all a bunch of bragging and cowardly people. They call it the Hexi Army in vain. Flying Tiger Cavalry, I think it should be called the Sparse Army."
Momonga Rider!”
The generals and soldiers behind him laughed loudly to provoke Li Siye to send troops to fight.
Kubani, the tooth general behind Li Siye, was angry, crossed his hands and said: "Please give me five thousand soldiers and horses, my lord, and I will go out of the city to pick this guy's head!"
He smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not time to go to war yet, so just be patient and wait."
He then pointed at the many Shu officials on the city wall and asked: "General Yan Wu, look at these people standing in line on the city wall. They used to be your superiors and colleagues, but today they are your enemies. They are standing on the wall."
Being here is equivalent to standing on the same ground as me, and we will deal with you together. Don't you claim to be loyal to the southern court? Aren't you a loyal minister? How come you have fallen into a situation where everyone is betrayed and separated from your relatives, and you are alone. It can be seen that New Tang followed the destiny and won the hearts of the people.
The perverse actions of the old Tang Dynasty were unpopular."
"Bah, you are a shameless rebel. I, Yan Wu, are at odds with you! Why don't you come down to the city and die!"
Li Siye coughed twice, put his hand on his throat and said, "Suddenly I became hoarse from shouting." He suddenly turned his head to Li Hong and a group of Shuzhong officials, and asked with a smile: "Comrades, can you help me?"
If you scold Yan Wu, the harsher the scolding, the better."
How could they open their mouths? Even Du Ji, who always prided himself on being shameless, was hesitant.
Li Siye's face turned cold. His Yamen general Kubani and his Yamen soldiers came up wearing bare armor. He pulled out half of the horizontal sword from his waist and said: "General Yamen can execute the military orders for the lord. Anyone who disobeys the order on the battlefield will be killed without mercy."
!”
Li Hong and other officials trembled in fright. Du Ji was the first to curse: "Yan Wu, King Yong has upheld the destiny of heaven and supported the new Tang Dynasty. How can you, a small man, resist the will of heaven?"
The others also threw out harsh words: "Yan Wu, who do you think you are? The Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family. Now the Southern Dynasty is corrupt and declining, but you are blindly helping the evildoers. You really deserve to die."
"My son Yan Wu, you dare to challenge King Yong's army with such a small number of troops. Are you not seeking death?"
These vicious words came from the mouth of the person he knew most, and the attack power was naturally doubled. The blood in Yan Wu's chest was boiling and his anger was rising. How dare these rats do this?
Li Xiong remained silent. His identity and the remaining dignity did not allow him to break through the bottom line. Li Siye said with a smile on his face but a sharp edge: "King Xin'an, why don't you scold me? Are you still lucky?
, do you want to wait for Yan Wu to break through the city and restore the old Tang Dynasty? Or do you disregard your own life and that of your family?"
Kubanidi walked up to Li Xi with the knife, pulled out half of the blade and stared at him threateningly: "Should you scold me?"
The hope of survival still defeated his personal dignity. Li Xiang cursed downwards with a hoarse voice: "Yan Wu, my son, Shuzhong has changed its flag. Why did you come here to bring humiliation and destruction on yourself? It's not too early to go south."
You just have to live and survive, otherwise King Yong's army and thousands of horses will be able to cut off your dog's head wherever King Yong points his finger."
Li Hong's words concealed his original intention, which was to tell Yan Wu that the enemy was ambushing nearby, so that Yan Wu could quickly evacuate from the vicinity of Chengdu to Qianzhong County in the south, where he could receive support from the Jiangdong imperial court.
However, Yan Wu was so angry that he couldn't hear what Li Hong meant. He raised his head and looked at the top of the city. Li Heng and the Shu officials were still yelling at each other repeatedly. Li Siye was leaning on the wall, stroking his beard and smiling.
The rebels also laughed.
He held back the bleeding from his chest and held it in his mouth. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Siege the city!"
People can do anything when they are angry. The orders given by Yan Wu were completely irrational. The generals persuaded behind them: "Mr. Yan, our army only has 30,000 troops. Isn't it a fool's dream to conquer Chengdu?"
"
"I personally lead the troops to the city. The remaining generals and lieutenants must take the lead! Kill them!"
