Chapter 36: The Grasslands of Saibei
Huang Hao, the hussar general, said: "Holy Lord, we should not show the courage of flesh and blood, but should secretly withdraw from Chang'an City before the Tang army has completely besieged Chang'an City." ”
Although Huang Chao had already prepared and had already laid an ambush outside Chang'an City, ready to nest immediately in the event of an unfavorable form, she still pretended to be impassioned, and said: "The Son of Heaven is dead, and I, as the Emperor of Great Qi, cannot leave Beijing without authorization. ”
The hussar general Huang Hao knew that Huang Chao was acting, and he still had to cooperate with Huang Chao, he said to Huang Chao: "The saint is wise, but Liu Bang was chased by Xiang Yu several times back then, and was almost killed by Xiang Yu. ”
Huang Chao was overjoyed and said, "You mean, I should follow Liu Bang's example to temporarily avoid the Tang army." ”
Hussar general Huang Hao said: "That's exactly what Weichen meant. ”
Huang Chao said: "Great goodness, I must follow the advice!" In fact, no one watched this farce at all, and it was completely a waste of time. At the beginning, when Huang Chao was chased and beaten by the Tang Army, he couldn't write so much.
Now, Huang Chao has entered Chang'an City and has been an emperor for a period of time, and he actually talked about pomp.
However, Huang Chao's mind was still clear, and he ordered his subordinates to occupy Lantian Pass.
In Lantian Road, Huang Chao's nephew Lin Yan had 30,000 troops.
Huang Hao led 7,000 cavalry, ready to evacuate Chang'an at any time.
Li Keyong had 50,000 soldiers on hand at this time, and Tang Zhangwei had a total of 80,000 infantry cavalry.
Together with the soldiers and horses of the rest of the feudal towns, the total number of Tang troops outside Chang'an exceeded 200,000.
Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said to Tang Xizong: "Congratulations to the emperor, my army of the Tang Dynasty has surrounded the traitor Huang Chao, and in the near future, Li Keyong, Tang Zhangwei and others will capture this thief alive and give gifts to the emperor." ”
Tang Xizong said: "I hope that this time, don't let Huang Chao escape again." ”
Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "No, my son led 30,000 elite soldiers, and he is heading towards Chang'an City, and he will lay the foundation for His Majesty in Chang'an City." ”
Tang Xizong said: "Don't clash with Li Keyong, Tang Zhangwei and others. ”
Tang Xizong said: "Don't worry, you won't." ”
Li Keyong ran to Tang Zhangwei's camp to drink, and he said: "Brother, when I fought with Huangchao, why didn't you send troops to help that day?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "I was afraid of robbing you of your credit, so I didn't send someone to help you." Who knew that Huang Chao's luck had not waned, and he actually escaped this catastrophe. ”
Li Ke used this to calm down, and he said, "Within three days, I will definitely take off the head of the Yellow Nest." ”
Tang Zhangwei smiled, and after Li Keyong got drunk, he went to sleep first.
Li Keyong wanted to use his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty to find a way out for his Shatuo cavalry, although the Shatuo people were treated preferentially by the Tang Dynasty, but they were not the same race as the people of the Central Plains.
The people of the Central Plains have always been suspicious of them, but the demonization has also brought them benefits, facing the murderous Shatuo cavalry.
The Huangchao rebel army, which has always made the Tang army invincible, suffered defeats in a row, which made Huangchao very angry.
Huang Chao hugged his favorite concubine Yan Lingling, and he said, "Don't the people of Chang'an City really welcome me?" How do you see that our Daqi army has suffered a defeat, but they are happy one by one, as if they want to help the Tang army? ”
Yan Lingling's heart sank suddenly, she was worried that Huang Chao was going to use this to open the killing realm again.
Yan Lingling persuaded: "The people in Chang'an City have already fed on tree bark, where do they still have the spirit to help thieves?" I'm afraid the emperor thinks too much about it. ”
Huang Chao was furious, grabbed Yan Lingling's neck, and said, "You dare to laugh at me." ”
Huang Chao pressed Yan Lingling to the ground and beat him desperately, and it took a long time for him to lie on Yan Lingling and cry bitterly.
Yan Lingling looked at the sky with her eyes, like a dead fish, lying on the ground.
Huang Chao was frightened, he pulled Yan Lingling up and said, "I didn't mean to. ”
Yan Lingling said: "I know, Shengshang, but we have to make a decision early, otherwise once the Tang army enters Chang'an City, it will be too late for us to leave." ”
Huang Chao frowned and said, "I have my own decision, and my concubine will not say much!" ”
The eunuch Zhu Wenlei pulled the throat of the male duck and said, "The emperor has a night meal." ”
Huang Chao brought the horse meat and said, "Why are these again?" ”
The eunuch Zhu Wenlei said: "Otherwise, I will replace the saint with some crow meat, which I and Wei Dayong and others have just hunted, and it tastes good!" ”
Huang Chao slapped the table and said, "Crows eat garbage, you let me eat crows?" ”
The eunuch Zhu Wenlei hurriedly knelt down and said: "There are also magpie meat and egret meat, which one does the emperor like to eat?" ”
Huang Chao said, "Is there still rat meat?" ”
The eunuch Zhu Wenlei said: "Back to the emperor, the palace people also eat this to satisfy their hunger, but I am afraid that the emperor will be infected with the epidemic and dare not serve it to the emperor." ”
Huang Chao said: "Didn't the camel caravan from the Western Regions and the Khitan steppe bring a lot of food? ”
The eunuch Zhu Wenlei said: "Report to the emperor, didn't you let these things be used as military rations first?" ”
Huang Chao waved his hand weakly and said, "Got it, you go down first!" ”
Yan Lingling saw that Huang Chao's eyes were bloodshot, and she was worried that he would go crazy.
Huang Chao didn't speak for a long time after the eunuch Zhu Wenlei left.
After a long time, Huang Chao said: "Tang Zhangwei wants to save the people in Chang'an City, but I don't want him to do it, I want this Chang'an City to become a sea of fire." ”
Yan Lingling didn't dare to speak, because Huang Chao's face was so terrifying.
Tang Zhangwei was in the army, and he handled the administrative affairs of the state capitals under his jurisdiction.
Look at the carrier pigeons that keep flying away, and the fast horses that keep coming and going.
Princess Suining said: "Now General Tang is the number one soldier in the world. ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "In the matter of fighting, there is a favorable time, place, and people, as well as armor and equipment, and none of them can be sloppy, and we can't say who is the strongest soldier." ”
Princess Suining said, "Why hasn't the general been sincere?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Chang'an City is already in my Tang Dynasty's bag, but that Yellow Nest is a trapped beast, and I have to be careful when I fight with him, because I bring living flesh and blood, and I won't fight with him unless I have to." ”
Princess Suining said: "Anyone who hears your words will be moved by your compassion and compassion, you are really amorous!" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "In this troubled world, if you can kill one less, you will kill one less." I let everyone under my rule carry machetes, but it is more difficult to make the people armed, and the athletes in the world will be much more restrained and will not torture and kill the people at every turn. ”
At this time, the spy Hahu said: "Li Ke took the lead with one horse and led his 50,000 horses to rush into Chang'an City again." The two sides are fighting fiercely, there are many people in Huangchao, and the Shatuo army is brave, and the two sides are evenly matched. ”
