Chapter 421 I heard that the Yumen is still covered, and my life should be taken away

(Thank you for your reward. Feng, please give me a monthly ticket! Fourteenth place in the category list, brothers, can we take another step or two?)

On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Qianfu, Zheng Cong-yi led seven towns of troops to raid Xialuan Pass, and defeated 5,000 Shatuo's troops. After capturing Xialuan Pass, all the generals rushed to fight. Zheng Cong-yi and Yu-yi, the Jieduo of Zhenwu Army, stayed at Lou-yiguan, and allowed the remaining five towns of troops to attack Xincheng. The Xiasui Jieduo, the governor of Xiasui Jieduo, and the governor of Tiande Army, each led the headquarters as the vanguard, Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang Jieduo, Li Zong, the governor of Yicheng, and Cui Anqian, the governor of Zhongwu Jieduo, each led the troops of the town to follow.

Tuoba Sigong and Helianduo were both determined to compete for merit, and their troops were moving fast. That night, the soldiers and horses had already reached Xincheng. There were only 3,000 defenders in Xincheng. Originally and Lou Fanlei were invoking each other, but now they didn't know that Lou Fan Pass had been captured. That night, Tuoba Sigong used the same trick again, using the method of attacking Lou Fan to capture Xincheng again, and then two 6,000 Hu cavalry rushed into Xincheng. By dawn, when 14,000 soldiers and horses arrived in the three towns of Heyang, Yicheng and Zhongwu, the new city had been completely captured.

After the Dangxiang people and Tuyuhun clans captured Xincheng, they led their troops to plunder and raped women to rob property. Tuoba Sigong resisted fiercely in the city and suffered considerable losses. After entering the city, he simply ordered the city to be massacred. Helianduo did not persuade him at all. Instead, he relied on the large number of troops to divide more than half of the new city into a robbery area of ​​Helian's troops. The two sides even fought each other because of the robbery.

When the troops of the three towns arrived, the new city had become an empty city. The Tuoba tribe and Helian tribe plundered the city, and the people cut down were piled up like a mountain. The two Hu soldiers not only killed all the three Shatu soldiers, but also killed all the men of the Shatu tribe and other tribes in the city to pretend to be military merits. The Tuoba tribe was given the head level of 8,000. The Helian tribe was given more than 13,000, and the children and women's property were divided into two parts.

Cui Anqian, the governor of the Zhongwu Army, was a companion of former prime minister Cui Youzhi. He was the most upright and honest person. Last time, he was hated by Tian Lingzi for refusing to help Tian Lingzi arrange his brother to serve in the Zhongwu Army. This time, the Zhongwu Army was also transferred. The Zhongwu Army was not large in territory, only in the three prefectures of Xu, Chen and Cai. However, the Zhongwu Army has always been arrogant. After Cui Anqian took office, he reorganized the army and recruited some strong and newly established Zhongwu Eight Capitals, each of which was one thousand people. Because Zhongwu Eight Capitals all wore yellow turbans, the Zhongwu Army was also known as the Yellow Head Army in the coalition.

Among the coalition forces of the generals, the military discipline of the Zhongwu Huangtou Army was undoubtedly the best. After Cui Anqian arrived in Xincheng, he was very angry when he saw the Dangxiang Tuoba Bing and Tuyuhun Helian cavalry that dared to massacre the city and kill Liang and take credit for it.

Cui Anqian directly brought Zhongwu Eight Generals into the city, and asked someone to invite Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo, and put the sword in his hand on the ground. He asked the two of them angrily: "We are the kings of the court, and this is to quell the rebellion. On the other hand, the people in the north are hoping that the court will relieve the fire of the people, but now you ignore the discipline of the army and openly massacre the city, rape and loot, and kill innocent people indiscriminately. How can you feel in your heart?"

When the two were furious, they couldn't help but be frightened. First, they were afraid of the elite new army of Zhongwu Badu, Cui Anqian, who was in charge of Li Jing, and second, Cui Anqian had a close relationship with Li Jing, and was the same brother of Cui Yunqing, another teacher of Li Jing. One was the Cui clan of Qinghe and the other was the Qingzhou branch of Cui clan of Qinghe. The two were speechless. Finally, they could only watch Cui Anqian transfer Zhongwu Badu into the new city and took down the two troops of Tuoba and Helian, who were still robbed, and sent them to the five towns. In the end, the two had no choice but to order the execution of more than 100 people, and the other captured people were also punished with military sticks. Even the robbed property was forced to hand over at this time. Although the two did not resist, they hated Cui Anqian very much.

The troops from the five towns entered the new city and temporarily stopped marching, waiting for Li Jing to attack Yanmen.

Under Yanmen Pass, Li Jing arrived at Yanmen City, the capital of Daizhou on schedule. Here, Li Keyong had no intention of guarding Yanmen City. Therefore, as soon as Li Jing's soldiers arrived, only one hundred cavalry in the city immediately abandoned the city and fled back to Yanmen City on Juzhu Mountain.

When Li Keyong heard that Li Jing led a 20,000 army to Yanmen, he couldn't help but be furious and shocked. He didn't expect that Li Jing would dare to march in such a storm. Li Keyong was preparing to send troops to deal with Li Jing, and Liu persuaded him, "At present, among the troops in the court, Li Jing is the most powerful, and he has 40,000 troops under his command, and all the states of Wei Daiyun are now in the hands of Li Jing. It would be better to surrender to Li Jing and stabilize him first."

Li Keyong followed Liu's advice and asked Li Cunzhang, one of the seven generals in Yunzhou, to go to Yanmen City to deliver a letter to Li Jing.

Li Jing summoned Li Cunzhang at the Daizhou Governor's Office. Looking at the elder adopted son who should be Li Keyong's oldest, he chuckled and said, "Li Keyong sent you here, what's wrong?"

Standing in the hall, Li Cunzhang looked at Li Jing quietly. Li Jing's youth made him feel a little unbelievable. Not only was he young, but what was more important was that although Li Jing was still tall, he was fair in his face and heroic in his whole body, he looked more like a scholar. Especially Li Jing was wearing a round necktie, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, a white face, and a short beard below his jaw. He sat in the chair in the hall, and even held a book in his hand.

"I came here this time because Li Zhenwu and Li Liuhou both admired Li Zhenguo's reputation very much. Li Zhenwu and his son had no intention of rebelling against the court, and everything was just a misunderstanding. Today, Li Zhenwu and his son were willing to return to the court and be loyal to Li Tang. In this matter, I would like to ask Li Zhenguo to mediate on behalf of him. In order to show sincerity and admiration for Li Zhenguo, Li Zhenwu is willing to marry his legitimate daughter to Li Zhenguo. The two families will marry each other and become the friendship between Qin and Jin."

Li Jing sneered, and Zhang Chengye, the military commander next to him, was already angry and rebuked: "Bah! Zhu Xie, a father and son, received the kindness of the country, but did not know how to repay him, but he was against the will of heaven and the lawless, and he rebelled and started a rebellion. My emperor sent troops to fight against the rebellion. My general responded to the emperor's order and was trying to barbarize his nine clans to shock the world. How could my general marry the rebels? You are worthy of you? If I don't kill you, you will go quickly and let Li Ya'er surrender quickly and bind him to surrender. Maybe he can still enjoy it at that time."

Li Cunzhang didn't expect that this white-faced eunuch was so powerful, but he refused to leave and just looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing was still looking at the book with his eyes. After passing a page, he turned his head and sneered: "The words of the general Zhang Junjun are exactly what I mean. Since you are reluctant to leave, don't leave. The person comes, give the words of the general Zhang Junjun to Li Cunzhang's entourage and let him go back. Li Cunzhang and the other entourages are all left and temporarily detained."

Li Cunzhang's face changed, "The two armies are fighting, and the envoys will not be killed. Li Jing, you can't do this!"

"What are you here to do? Li Ya'er is just a traitor, take it away!" Li Cunzhang's bravery Li Jing still knew. At this moment, he actually came to the door, and Li Jing would not be pedantic and sent him back. If you catch one, Li Keyong would have lost one help.

When Li Cunzhang came, he brought dozens of people, and when he returned, he was only one soldier left. Seeing this situation, Li Keyong angrily killed the soldier who had reported the letter with anger. "Li Jing, the dog thief, bullying me too much!" He was about to summon troops and prepare to attack Li Jing.

Liu had already arrived at this time and dissuaded Gai Yu from the left and the right.

"Then what do you think?"

Gai Yu expressed the news that he had just received about Loufan and Xincheng, "Loufan and Xincheng and Yanmen, the three cities are the gateways to the south of Shuozhou. Now the three cities have lost two of them, and it is useless to continue to defend Yanmen. The court has many soldiers, and now the troops have been divided into three groups. Loufan Xincheng is lost, Zheng Congyi's 40,000 army has entered the south of Shuozhou, and Li Jing has 10,000 troops north of Yunzhou. Although Yanmen is limited to danger, the Tang army only needs Li Jing to drag us all the troops and horses to directly capture our retreat. At present, Yanmen cannot defend it alone. It is better to take advantage of the Tang army on the Xincheng that has not yet surrounded us, and we will take the initiative to abandon Yanmen and retreat to the Mayi and Shanyang areas, so that our troops can be concentrated, with Shanyang, Mayi and Jincheng as mutual support."

Li Keyong asked Liu again, but Liu still felt that the official army was invincible, and thirty-six strategies were the best.

"Go back to Mayi first. If you have the chance, we will repel the 10,000 soldiers from Li Jing from the north, break out of the border, and break out of the border."

At that moment, Li Keyong had made up his mind and quietly opened the north gate at night. Five thousand infantrymen in Guanzhong advanced first. Li Keyong personally led 5,000 cavalrymen behind Yanmen. There were still black flags everywhere and torches were inserted.

When the next day dawn, the scouts of the Flying Eagle Camp found something wrong and approached the gate carefully and found that the city was empty. At that moment, Li Wei was urgently reported to him that Li Wei had sent special battles to the gate, and then he found that the gate of the gate, which was the number one in the gate of the gate of Yanmen and the number one in Jiuzhai had become an empty city.

After hearing the news, Li Jing was very happy. Li Keyong ran better. If a heroic pass like Yanmen Pass really wants to conquer the city, it is estimated that Li Jing's 20,000 troops will be difficult to win half of the casualties in less than a month or two.

The troops of Zhenguo entered Yanmen Pass without bloodshed. Li Jing took over Yanmen Pass while sending messengers to Loufan Pass.

After Zheng Cong-sei received the news that Li Keyong had left Yanmen Pass and fled to Mayi, he was excited and immediately rewarded the messenger and wrote a letter to Li Jing immediately send troops and send troops to meet at Shanyang City.

Afterwards, Zheng Cong-qi left a group of troops to guard the Lou Fan. He and Yu Guan led their troops to Xincheng, summoned the generals of the towns, announced the good news, and ordered the entire army to attack Shanyang City. Heyang Jieduo and Yicheng Jieduo saw that Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo easily captured the Lou Fan Pass and Xincheng, and Li Jing even captured the Yanmen Pass without any blood. They all believed that Li Keyong was about to fall, so they asked for battle.

Only the governor of Zhongwu Army, Cui Anqian, participated in the book of Tuoba Sigong and Helianduo in front of Zheng Cong-sei, saying that the two of them massacre the city, raped and looted, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. After hearing this, Zheng Cong-sei only blamed the two in public, but said that when they were employed, they would not punish them, but let them atone for their sins. This result made Cui Anqian very dissatisfied.
