Chapter 64 Fight against Li Cunxiao
Miss He was petrified by the sudden appearance of a stranger. The scholar told him in detail that he was the incarnation of God, and that he had taken the basket and recognized his wife during the day. While listening, Miss He secretly looked at the handsome scholar, filled with admiration.
However, the two chatted with each other, and the more they talked, the more cordial they became. Finally, the passionate Miss He accepted the love of the handsome scholar. From then on, the scholar came every night and left before the rooster crow, and he came earlier and left later day by day.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. One day, her father brought back the wine at the market and asked his wife to cook and drink with it. Miss He started vomiting when she smelled the fishy smell of oil. When the old couple saw this, they guessed at least 70% of what He was.
The girl did not hide anything and told her parents the truth. Before anyone could see that she was pregnant, her parents kicked her out of the house. Miss He moved to the foot of the mountain alone and built a thatched cottage to live in.
A few months later, Miss He gave birth to a little boy. But Miss He's relatives and friends felt embarrassed and stayed away from her. Miss He took a child, and the mother and son lived alone. When the child was four years old,
Miss He took the child to the stone statue and asked the child to worship his father.
Unexpectedly, when the child found out that his father turned out to be this stone statue, he became violent and punched the stone statue to pieces. When Miss He saw this, she couldn't help but flew into a rage. She was very angry and anxious. She forced
The child knelt down to apologize to his father, and asked the child to pick up the stones on the ground and put them back piece by piece, and named the child "Jing Si", which means placing stones, as a memorial. Jing Si's
They lived a very poor life, and the mother and son depended on each other.
One day when he was ten years old, Jing Jingsi was herding sheep on the hillside. At this time, a fierce tiger suddenly appeared on the hillside and ate one of Jing Si's sheep. Jing Jingsi was furious. He was born with supernatural power and killed Jing Si with his bare hands.
The tiger was beaten to death. At this time, a person happened to pass by on the mountain stream opposite. He was the King of Jin Li Keyong. Li Keyong saw from a distance that this child was so young and could kill a tiger, and he was very fond of it.
Li Keyong deliberately said to this side: "Which child killed my tiger?" Jing Jingsi was not angry. He looked at Li Keyong and said, "So this tiger was raised by your family.
Ah. It ate my sheep, so I killed it. I will return the tiger to you, and you return the sheep to me." After that, across the mountain stream, he threw the whole tiger as easily as throwing stones.
He threw it in front of Li Keyong. Li Keyong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
After that, Li Keyong asked every household to find out which family the child was from. He went to Miss He's home, met with Miss He, and found out about Jing Jingsi's life experience. He liked Jing Jingsi very much.
, she hoped to adopt him as her adopted son. When Miss He knew that the other party was the famous Li Keyong, she readily agreed. From then on, Jing Jingsi changed his name to Li Cunxiao, followed Li Keyong around, and accompanied Li Keyong in the north and south.
Became Li Keyong's 13th Taibo.
Li Cunxiao was born with supernatural power and was very skilled in martial arts. With Bi Yan'ao in his left hand and Yu Wangshu in his right, he was running rampant and unstoppable. Even Wang Yanzhang, who was known as the iron gun, could not go two rounds under Li Cunxiao. After Huang Chao captured Chang'an, Li Keyong served
Xizong ordered to attack Huangchao.
Li Cunxiao led the Eighteen Cavalry as the vanguard and was invincible. He broke into Chang'an, causing Huang Chao to abandon the city and flee. From this, Li Cunxiao was called the Flying Tiger General. This is the famous Eighteen Cavalry Capture of Chang'an. It was so famous that later generations made it up
There are many stories about the Eighteen Warriors, such as the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun. Facing such opponents, the pressure on Sun Ru and others is naturally greater than the mountain.
Under the guidance of Li Hanzhi, Li Cunxiao led his army to the city of Mengzhou quickly. Li Hanzhi cursed loudly: "The traitor Sun Ru, come out and die!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cannon sounded, and Sun Ru and
Liu Jianfeng appeared at the top of the city with his guards. Sun Ru laughed loudly at Li Hanzhi and said, "A defeated general, do you want to come back and die? For the sake of old friendship, I ask you to retreat quickly and spare your life." Li Hanzhi.
He said angrily: "Don't use your words, come down and fight me if you have the guts, and watch me take your head!" Sun Ru said: "It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words! Since you are so stubborn, I will help you.
Let you wait to see the King of Hell!" Sun Ru waved his hand, and three cannons were fired on the top of the city.
Suddenly there was a loud killing sound from behind Li Hanzhi and Li Cunxiao, and the two were shocked. They saw men and horses coming from both sides of the east and west. It turned out that Sun Ru learned that Li Hanzhi had returned and surrendered to Li Keyong, and led Li Cunxiao's Shatuo army southward. Sun Ruben
He planned to abandon the city and flee immediately, but was stopped by Ma Yin.
Ma Yin said: "Commander, if we go like this, I'm afraid we will be overtaken by them before we go far. Why don't we ambush people and horses on both sides of the city, wait for them to arrive, and suddenly attack us from both sides. In their eyes, we
They are already frightened and have no intention of fighting. In addition, Li Cunxiao maintains his own bravery and will definitely not take us seriously. We succeeded in the sneak attack and they had to retreat farther away. In this way, we can retreat calmly."
Sun Ru immediately accepted Ma Yin's suggestion and asked Qin Yanhui and Ma Yin's troops to ambush in the east, and Liu Jianfeng, Bi Zaiyong and others to ambush in the west. They agreed to set off a cannon as a signal, and the two of them fought out. He and Xu Dexun were in the city.
Prepare and wait for them to fight out in two directions and then go out of the city to attack. As soon as the arrangements were made, Li Hanzhi and Li Cunxiao rushed to the city.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao quickly said: "Master Li, lead your troops to attack the east side."
I will deal with the enemy on the west route!" Li Hanzhi nodded and promised, and each led their troops to fight. Li Cunxiao turned his horse around, and the rear army had already started a melee with the enemy. Liu Jianfeng and Bi Zaiyong rushed up from the east, fighting alone.
Naturally, Li Cunxiao was no match for two people in a fight. His soldiers were no match for Shatuo's cavalry, but he was better in numbers, four times as many as the enemy. Shatuo soldiers fell off their horses one after another under the siege of Caizhou soldiers, and the situation was very critical. Li Cunxiao was furious.
, gave a fierce shout, took the lead, and rushed straight towards the enemy.
After all, Li Cunxiao was Li Cunxiao. Although there were many soldiers from Caizhou, they could not withstand his fierce attack. Wherever Li Cunxiao went, Caizhou soldiers fell to the ground one after another and had to retreat. But what Li Hanzhi encountered was Ma.
Yin and Qin Yanhui's troops, these two are considered to be the best among Caizhou soldiers, and their subordinates are not weak. What's more, Li Han was defeated by Guo Ma Yin, so he did not dare to fight and hurriedly moved closer to Li Cunxiao's Shatuo army.
At this time, he heard that the defenders in the city were coming out. Li Cunxiao saw that his military formation was in chaos and it was difficult to effectively meet the enemy.
Li Cunxiao had no choice but to lead the way. As expected, wherever he went, it was like entering uninhabited territory. Li Cunxiao opened a bloody road and led his army to retreat. Fortunately, most of his subordinates were cavalry, while most of the opponents were infantry, so naturally they could not catch up. Sun Ru looked at Shatuo who was fleeing in embarrassment.
The army laughed and felt very proud. But he did not dare to pursue him. He just succeeded by relying on a sneak attack. If he encountered the Shatuo army again, the result would be unpredictable. Sun Ru withdrew his troops and returned to the city to celebrate.
Prepare to abandon the city and return to Luoyang early the next morning.
Xu Dexun said: "Commander, although we won a battle, it did not have a great impact on their strength. Moreover, this Li Cunxiao is indeed extremely brave. No one in our army can defeat him. My subordinates suggest that we should fight before dawn tomorrow.
Hurry out of the city, there is no need to get entangled with them. If the delay lasts for a long time, I am worried that the return route will be cut off by Zhu Wen." Sun Ru nodded and said, "Brother Xu is right, the whole army will set off at the fourth watch tomorrow. Just in case.
Li Cunxiao is chasing me, what should I do?" But for a moment, no one answered. This is understandable. All the generals have seen Li Cunxiao's bravery today, and they think they are no match for them, so they dare not take the lead, lest they lose their money.
life.
When Sun Ru saw this, he was displeased and thought to himself, they are all weaklings, but they were scared to death by Li Cunxiao. Sun Ru was about to ask again, but Ma Yin stood up and said: "Commander, in order to make everyone
The army retreated safely, and Ma Yin was willing to fight to the death to break off the rear." Sun Ru was greatly moved, thinking that Ma Yin really had a chivalrous heart, so he said: "Brother Ma is a chivalrous man with courage and martial arts, so he is indeed a suitable candidate. But Li Cunxiao is not the only one like you.
Who else is willing to take risks for the whole army despite being able to defeat us?"
Qin Yanhui also stood up and said: "I am willing to sever the throne with General Ma." Recently, Qin Yanhui and Ma Yin have been in close contact and appreciate each other because of their deep friendship. At this moment, Qin Yanhui was very moved when he saw Ma Yin coming forward, so he also volunteered.
Sun Ru was overjoyed when he saw it. In his own army, these two were the best in terms of martial arts. With them fighting Li Cunxiao together, even if they could not win, there should be no problem in protecting themselves. Sun Ru immediately said:
"Okay, I will entrust this thousand-jin burden to you. But you must also be careful not to be wary. Once the work is completed, I will definitely reward you generously."
Ma Yin and Qin Yanhui thanked Sun Ru, and Sun Ru made some arrangements. Finally, he ordered the whole city to be sacked, and quietly retreated from the south gate at four o'clock the next day. The generals followed the order and retreated, and Ma Yin and Qin Yanhui returned to the camp together.
He summoned his brothers and said: "Brothers, after General Qin and I are ordered to break up tomorrow, you can follow the large group of troops to retreat first." Wang Huan immediately said: "What did Brother Ma say? Naturally, brothers advance and retreat together.
!" Li Qiong also said: "What Brother Wang said is that I also want to have a fight with Li Cunxiao to see how powerful he is!" Yao Yanzhang, Li Tang, Ma Bin and others also wanted to join Ma Yin.
.
Tuoba Heng said: "Don't get excited, everyone. I think that although Li Cunxiao is brave, if we combine the efforts of many people, we may not be able to stop him for a while. We will stop the rear tomorrow, and we don't want to defeat him. Tomorrow, Yao Yanzhang and I will fight
Bin led most of the troops to go ahead and found a suitable place to ambush. General Ma, General Qin, brother Li Qiong, and brother Wang Huan, the four of you led the elite cavalry to break up the rear. If Li Cunxiao comes after you, stop him for a while, then
Get away quickly. If he chases again, I will use bows and arrows to deal with him. I think he is only bringing some elite cavalry, and there will not be too many. As long as he stops him twice, he will know that the army has gone far, so he will not
I’ll catch up.”
Li Cunxiao, Li Hanzhi and others retreated twenty miles and set up camp. They all discussed matters together. Li Hanzhi said: "We fell into Sun Ru's trick! I didn't expect these evil thieves to be so cunning!" Li Cunxiao said: "Fortunately, we fell into Sun Ru's trick!"
The loss is not big! These enemy troops are indeed powerful, but they are powerful enemies. To confront the enemy again, order the sergeants to shoot them with powerful crossbows. Tonight, we must strengthen our vigilance and prepare more bows and arrows to prevent them from sneak attacks. Mr. Li, you will be behind to support me tomorrow.
Go challenge outside the city!"
Early the next morning, outside Mengzhou City, Li Cunxiao led the Tang army to the city again, but saw that there was no one on the top of the city. Li Cunxiao was confused and shouted to the top of the city: "Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao is here
Here! Sun Ru, come out and die!" No matter how much he yelled, no one showed up. Li Cunxiao hurriedly asked the soldiers to cross the moat and found that there were no enemy troops inside, only ordinary residents remained. Li Cunxiao immediately called Li Hanzhi to come in
He led his cavalry to pursue the city southward.
Li Cunxiao galloped on his horse and soon came to the foot of a hill
, there was a sudden sound, and countless arrows flew from the mountain. Li Cunxiao, with his left hand Bi Yan'ao, and his right hand Yu Wangshang, swung away the flying arrows and continued to chase forward. Suddenly several horses rushed out from the foot of the mountain and blocked the way. It was Ma Yin.
Ma Yin and others cursed loudly: "Shatuo Hu'er, how dare you go to the Central Plains to run wild. You have fallen into a trap. Today, you will never come back!"
Ma Yin waved his gun and was about to come forward to fight Li Cunxiao. Qin Yanhui rushed out first and said: "General Ma, I'll come first!" Li Cunxiao shouted: "Is the general coming here Sun Ru?" Qin Yanhui shouted: "I'll kill such a bastard like you.
Son, why do we need my commander to take action!" Li Cunxiao was furious, picked up Bi Yan'ao and smashed it down on his head. Qin Yanhui passed by with his horse and slashed with his sword. Li Cunxiao waved his sword to meet the attack, only to hear a "bang" sound, Qin Yanhui
The tiger's mouth was shattered, blood flowed out, and the sword was knocked away.
Qin Yanhui was shocked and turned his horse to retreat. Just as Li Cunxiao was about to catch up, Ma Yin urged the horse to fight with a spear. Li Cunxiao raised his spear and came to meet him. The spears and spears met, and Ma Yin was shaken by the shock. Li Cunxiao said "Eh"
With a cry, he said: "Who are you? You can actually take my hand!" Ma Yin was horrified. He did not expect that this Li Cunxiao was really powerful. Although Ma Yin knew that he was not his opponent, he pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"I'm dismounting Yin. I've heard about his reputation for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be nothing more than this!"
Li Cunxiao was furious and struck with his sword. Ma Yin raised his gun to meet him. The two of them fought together. After three moves, Ma Yin was at a disadvantage. Wang Huan and Li Qiong saw the pretense and attacked from both sides. Qin Yanhui also gritted his teeth.
, pulled out the sword from his waist, returned to his horse and fought again, the four people surrounded Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao was not afraid at all and fought against the four people. After more than ten rounds of fighting, the four people were panting and sweating profusely.
Li Cunxiao waved his hand to separate Li Qiong and Wang Huan, and a giant mountain struck Qin Yanhui in front of the door and knocked him down. Ma Yin quickly raised his gun, and there was a loud "click", and Ma Yin's spear was smashed into two pieces. Ma Yin was horrified.
, shouted: "Brothers, retreat quickly!" After saying that, he turned his horse and fled. Qin Yanhui, Li Qiong, and Wang Huan also fled. Li Cunxiao chased after him until they reached a forest. He could only hear what was inside.
There was a bang of a clapper, and arrows flew like rain again. Li Cunxiao had no choice but to stop his horse and wave his sword to deflect the flying arrows. As a result, Ma Yin and others had already run away. Li Cunxiao had no choice but to turn back.
Li Cunxiao returned to Mengzhou to discuss with one of Li Han, leaving a small number of soldiers to garrison Mengzhou. The two men led the army towards Luoyang. When they arrived at Luoyang, Luoyang had become a scorched earth. It turned out that Sun Ru had returned to Luoyang.
When he arrived in Luoyang, he immediately looted the whole city and then set fire to the city. If he couldn't get it, no one else could get it. After that, he ordered Ma Yin and Liu Jianfeng to cut off the rear, and the whole army retreated towards Caizhou.
Besides, after proclaiming himself emperor, Qin Zongquan sent Sun Ru and others to attack Luoyang. At the same time, he personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Bianzhou and planned to move his office from Caizhou to Zhu Wen's home in Bianzhou. Qin Zongquan and Zhu Wen lived next to each other.
, neither of them had the virtue of helping each other. Instead, they both coveted the food in each other's bowls, so there was constant friction, small battles of 1,47, and big battles of 3,69. They fought many times, with Qin Zongquan winning less and losing more, giving him several opportunities to unify the Central Plains.
They were all destroyed in Zhu Wen's hands.
Zhu Wen was the biggest stumbling block on the way forward for Qin Zongquan. Qin Zongquan naturally hated Zhu Wen deeply. Besides, Bianzhou occupied by Zhu Wen was extremely wealthy and an important town in the Central Plains. Qin Zongquan had long been coveted. If he could defeat Zhu Wen, he would capture him.
territory, then Qin Zongquan would become the sole overlord of the Central Plains. In the past, due to lack of strength, Qin Zongquan could only dream about such a good thing. Now Qin Zongquan has become the emperor of Da Qi, with strong soldiers and horses. If he does not take action at this time, it will be even worse.
When?
Qin Zongquan sent Sun Ru to attack Luoyang, firstly to expand the territory of Qi State, and secondly to prevent the Tang army from Chang'an from coming to reinforce Zhu Wen. After Sun Ru set out, Qin Zongquan ordered Zhang Hao, Qin Xian, and Lu Tang to each lead tens of thousands of troops.
, the troops divided into three groups and attacked Bianzhou, and he led the main force to follow up. Soon after, Qin Zongquan's army surrounded Bianzhou. Qin Xian was stationed in Banqiao Town to defend the main road leading to Bianzhou. Zhang
Zhi garrisoned troops in the northern suburbs of Bianzhou, and Lu Tang led his troops in Wansheng Town. The three of them had a combined force of nearly 200,000, and established 36 camps with a combined area of more than 20 miles. It can be said that they have a strong military force.
After Zhu Wen got the report, he summoned the generals and said: "I just received the imperial decree, asking me to attack Qin Zongquan. Before I went to fight him, Qin Zongquan's Caizhou soldiers came to the door first! Damn it! Our current soldiers and horses
It’s not concentrated yet, do you have any good ideas?”
Counselor Li Zhen said: "The imperial court ordered our army to fight against thieves. We can ask for support from the surrounding military towns and cooperate internally and externally without worrying about the enemy's retreat." Counselor Jingxiang said: "The surrounding military forces are weaker than ours and they are afraid of Cai Cai.
The state soldiers are fierce. If we don't achieve certain results and go to ask for help now, they will probably wait and see to protect themselves!" Zhu Wen nodded and said: "It is true what the second prince said! Caizhou soldiers are coming fiercely, our army should avoid their edge first and close the city.
Hold fast and try the opportunity. At the same time, send people to recall the troops sent out."
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao sent his troops to attack the city. His men were very powerful and almost attacked the city several times, but were finally repulsed by Pang Shigu, Zhang Guiba and other military governors. In the afternoon of the battle, Zhu Wen summoned the people
The general said: "The bandit army is besieging us urgently, and our army is in danger. We have few soldiers. Zhu Zhen, Li Tangbin, Ge Congzhou, Guo Yan and others have not returned from recruiting troops. We are so trapped and unable to defend ourselves. After all, there is no way. I want to send
