Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu stood on the tower of the South Gate, excitedly waving to the iron flow rolling below. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We won!"
Yu Chi Baolin was a little incredulous, when all these efforts turned into the fruits of victory, the sweet, rushing people were drunk. Several people shouted, waved to the Tang army entering the city, and even danced. Several brothers hugged each other, shouting to vent their excitement.
"It's a pity that Saburo isn't here, otherwise I would have been very happy to see this meeting."
At this time, Zhang Chao stood a few miles outside the city on horseback, looking at the cold night sky, countless little fires surrounded the city. Every little point of light is a Tang Army soldier with a torch.
The city of Zhaozhou has entered, and the south gate is under control.
There was no need for the Tang army to hide it, everyone lit torches and rushed to Zhaozhou excitedly.
Li Shimin had already made arrangements to never let a single rebel escape this time. When Qin Qiong and others led the elite to enter the city of Zhaozhou from the south gate, the four generals Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Li Yi, and Li Shiji led the army to block several other city gates.
Surround three queyi, it is no longer necessary for the Tang army.
No matter how strong a city is, as long as one gate is lost, it will be finished.
"This fish is very delicious." Li Shimin, who was next to Zhang Chao, was watching the magnificent night scene of seizing the city in the rear, but he was eating a charcoal-grilled crucian carp.
Zhang Chao also had one in his hand, but he didn't think it was delicious at all. Only sprinkled with a little refined salt, not pickled, and without all kinds of secret seasonings, this fish tastes fishy.
"We won." Zhang Chao said with some sighs.
The city of Yuzhou was captured in this way, which was unexpected.
It seems that he can rush home for the New Year, and now it's only mid-November, if he leaves early, Zhang Chao may be able to catch up with his wedding date.
"Well, you won, you won beautifully, you should be the first to judge." Li Shimin ate fish while not forgetting to praise Zhang Chao twice.
Zhang Chao always felt that Li Shimin's praise was a little ill-intentioned, as if he was deliberately trying to kill him.
"It was all commanded by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the three generals worked bravely. At the same time, my Datang destiny returns, the rebels have long been exhausted, and the morale of the army is gone, so there is a noble and virtuous Su Dingfang who abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and opened the city gate for my Datang! ”
"Hahaha, although this is a bit flattering, I love to hear it."
From the moment Su Dingfang opened the south gate, the Hebei rebels had no strength to resist. These days, they all rely on the accumulation of enough grain and grass in the city, and the extremely strong city walls of the city of Zhaozhou, and then take advantage of the severe cold weather to make the Tang army sigh, like a dog biting a hedgehog and unable to put his mouth down.
But now the inside and the outside are united, and as soon as the city gates are opened, the only support of the rebels is gone.
Liu Heimin wore armor and led a group of guards to rush left and right, but as far as the eye could see, there were fires everywhere in the city, and there were Tang soldiers with reflective goggles everywhere.
The cavalry opened the way, the infantry followed, and the streets and alleys were killing and scattering the resistance of the rebels, searching and clearing everywhere.
Liu Heimin was running around like a mouse, but there were Tang troops everywhere.
As soon as I turned a street corner, I was greeted by a rain of arrows, and no matter how good the war horse was on the narrow street, it was not easy to gallop, and the corpses everywhere on the ground made it difficult for the war horse to move.
Several guards around him were shot and fell from their horses.
Liu Heimin turned around and wanted to leave, when a shout suddenly came from the front.
"Liu Heimin is leaving!"
A member of the Tang Dynasty was killed, and Liu Heimin recognized the person in the firelight as an old acquaintance, Shan Xiongxin, the boss of Wagang back then.
Liu Heimin was afraid of Shan Xiongxin's force, and turned around to avoid it, but Shan Xiongxin was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he had already led people to kill, so he had to get up and fight.
"Report!"
"Report to the King of Qin, the city of Zhaozhou has been captured, most of the rebels are either dead or surrendered, only a small part is hiding in the houses, and the army is searching for the whole city."
"Good!" Li Shimin shouted with satisfaction. "Where's Liu Heimin?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Chief Manager Shan fought with Liu Heimin on the long street, Liu Heimin was defeated by Chief Manager Shan, and was picked off the horse by Chief Manager Shan Ma Lance, and has been captured alive!"
"Okay, when you remember Shan Xiongxin, you will have a great achievement, and you will be able to capture the thief's head alive, and you will have a miracle!"
The war went smoothly beyond imagination.
As soon as the Tang army entered the city, many rebels had no intention of resisting at all, and directly threw their swords and surrendered.
A small number of recalcitrant elements were also quickly defeated in street battles and then eliminated.
Especially when Shan Xiongxin picked Liu Heimin off his horse and captured him alive, he tied him up and dragged him around the city to shout.
Some recalcitrant rebels saw that Liu Heimin was captured alive, and their fighting spirit directly collapsed.
By daybreak, the city had returned to quiet.
Under the bath of the morning sun, Zhang Chao followed Li Shimin's side into the city.
Outside the south gate where the Tang army entered the city yesterday, Gao Yaxian, Su Dingfang and other internal generals stripped off their tops one by one, knelt in front of the city gate shirtless, and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin specially changed into an extremely angry gold armor in the morning, because Zhang Chao lost a set of high-grade Mingguang armor in the city, and Li Shimin also gave Zhang Chao a set of his own spare armor.
Li Shimin, who was smiling, jumped off the horse and personally helped Gao Yaxian and Su Dingfang up.
Zhang Chao was wearing the treasure armor rewarded by Li Shimin, and followed with some heavy steps.
"Your Royal Highness, this is General Su Lie Su Dingfang, who understands the righteousness, abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and opens the south gate of Chaozhou for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin had already heard a lot of good things Zhang Chao had said for Su Dingfang, and knew that this burly general was very aware of the righteousness, especially when he was fifteen years old, he was very interested in Su Dingfang's deeds of leading the township with his father to bravely exterminate the thieves and bandits and defend the township when he was fifteen years old.
Li Shimin likes those fierce generals the most, and he also likes those talented people, as soon as he sees these people, he can't help but itch to take them under his command and include them in the group.
In Li Shimin's eyes, after Zhang Chao's boasting and appreciation, Su Dingfang was already a fierce general equivalent to Luo Shixincheng biting gold and them.
"Dingfang understands the righteousness, abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and takes the initiative to return, and the king is very happy. Please ask the general to be aggrieved and temporarily serve as the deputy commander of the right three horse armies of the Qin Wangfu and the right three horse army. ”
Li Shimin directly attributed Su Dingfang to Qin Qiong's men.
Su Dingfang stood there a little apprehensively, blowing the north wind bare-chested, and the taste was not pleasant. In particular, he didn't know what kind of treatment he would receive after surrendering.
But now, he was shocked.
King Qin was so polite and virtuous, he was just a general, and he directly let himself serve as the commander of the Qin Palace, and also served as the deputy commander of the Ma Army.
The commander of the Qin Palace's army only has five grades, but it is very important for the Qin King to trust the position of a cronie, if Li Shimin really trusts him, he will never give him this position easily.
"Su Lie thanks King Qin for his forgiveness, and the King of Qin has given him this important responsibility, Su Lie must be loyal and dutiful, attached to Jiwei!"
"It doesn't have to be like this, please get up." While speaking, Li Shimin also took off his cloak and came to Su Dingfang to put it on in person.
Zhang Chao watched it on the side, and Li Shimin's style was really very strong. Although the acting skills are not perfect enough, there are some traces, but even if others can see that this has an element of acting, this attitude alone is enough to make a new general like Su Lie swear allegiance to the death.
If you change people, you may not even be willing to act in such a scene.
Sometimes, the key is not whether you act, but whether you are willing to act. If you are willing to act, no matter how bad your acting skills are, others will be impressed by your attitude.
Su Dingfang got up and stepped aside in a move, and then Li Shimin went to appease Gao Yaxian again, it was still the same, but Zhang Chao felt that Li Shimin was not attentive enough to Gao Yaxian's performance. It can be seen that Li Shimin attaches more importance to Su Dingfang.
"Wenyuan, thank you."
Su Dingfang nodded at Zhang Chao seriously, his eyes sincere.
"Actually, I want to thank you for saving me from the wolf's den."
"It's different, even if there is no me, Liu Heimin will exchange you for his brother. I don't say thank you for my kindness, I remember this kindness in my heart, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. ”
In addition to the rebels who should have taken the initiative to join Su Lie and his son, there were many rebels who surrendered after the Tang army entered the city last night.
A large number of high-ranking rebel generals such as Dong Kangmai are almost all there
Li Shimin was not so polite to these people, but he was not too strict with them, and he did not kill any of them. Instead, he told them that he would invite them to Chang'an City. The meaning of the words is obvious, even if they don't kill, at least they have to be placed under house arrest for a while, at least they must be placed in Chang'an City, under the nose of the proceeds, and they will never return to the mountains easily, so that they will have another chance to rebel like last time.
In response to this result, these people also accepted their fate. Dong Kangmai even regretted it a little, if Li Tang had recruited them into Beijing after killing Dou Jiande, and he had entered Beijing honestly, maybe the result would have been better than now.
In the end, Liu Heimin was escorted up.
Liu Heimin's criticism was scattered, and he was still unruly.
As soon as he saw Su Lie Gao Yaxian's father and son, he immediately scolded. scolded the two of them for eating inside and out, shameless.
Li Shimin just looked at Liu Heimin coldly.
Suddenly, Li Shimin turned his head and asked Zhang Chao.
"Wen Yuan, what do you think of this Liu Heimin?"
Zhang Chao felt a little like he was suddenly named by the teacher in class, and he didn't like this feeling the most. But Li Shimin has called names, so he has to answer, and he can't talk nonsense.
In the end, Zhang Chao only said one word.
"Kill!"
"Hahaha, that's exactly what I want."
"Behead Liu Heimin, hang his head in the city of Zhaozhou for seven days, and then send the head to Chang'an to report the victory!"
Liu Heimin, who was scolding, couldn't scold.
Li Shimin gave important positions to Su Lie Gao Yaxian's father and son, and pardoned Dong Kangmai and others for their crimes, why did he want to be beheaded when he came to himself?
"I'm not convinced!" Liu Heimin shouted.
"If you don't accept it, then go to King Yama to cry out for injustice!" Li Shimin waved his hand in annoyance, and immediately several guards rushed up and dragged him down.
A moment later, a dead blood spill was brought up in a tray.
Looking at this head, Zhang Chao was a little sick to his stomach, but this battle of Hebei was finally over. Liu Heimin did not flee to the Turks after the defeat as in history, so he would never have the opportunity to raise an army against the Tang Dynasty again. (To be continued.) )
