At sunset and dusk, Li Qianzhong, the envoy of Shatuo's soldiers and horses, and Cheng Huaixin, the confidant general of Li Ke, arrived from Hedong with 3,000 Shatuo soldiers and escorted a batch of arrows and grain.

Seeing the jubilation in the camp, Li Quanzhong inquired and learned that the Zhenwu Army had defeated the party members today.

Speaking of the wonderful danger of today's battle, those soldiers who participated in the battle frothed at the mouth, praising Li Guochang's bravery as unparalleled in the world, especially when he personally led the Shatuo soldiers to attack the military city at night, and broke the military city that the Zhenwu army had not won for five days.

Li Qianzhong screamed happily when he heard it, and then he was greatly annoyed, he had traveled all the way day and night, and he still missed this big battle that killed the party and the army, he was even more faintly guilty, the patriarch actually had to go into battle in person, it can be seen that the situation was critical at that time, if only he could come faster.

With this complicated feeling, he came to the Chinese military tent to report to Li Guochang.

Li Guochang was treating the officers who participated in the battle today, not only the officers of the Shatuo tribe were present, but also the officers of the Zhenwu Army were all present, and Li Quanzhong went in to salute.

Li Guochang was very happy to see his brother Li Quanzhong coming.

Li Guochang is the patriarch of the entire Shatuo tribe, but now he serves as the envoy of the Zhenwu Army, so he handed over the position of the governor of Shatuo to his brother Li Youjin, and handed over the position of the envoy of the Shatuo army to Li Qianzhong, and he himself only served as a military envoy of the three tribes of Shatuo.

With the arrival of 3,000 new reinforcements, Li Guochang was very happy. He smiled and said, "Be loyal." You are here at this time. I am very happy. It doesn't matter if we miss today's battle, we still have a chance later. Come, let me introduce you to a few brothers, today's great victory is the credit of the brothers. This is Yang Lin, the deputy envoy of the Zhenwu Army, who has been in the Zhenwu Army for a long time and has made remarkable achievements. This is Sima Wu Xian, the marching army of the Zhenwu Army, although he was born as a literati. But the immediate effort is not weak at all. In addition, these people are also the brothers of Zhenwu Army, and they have been fighting with the party members for five days, and they are not weak at all. On the other hand, they are all the younger generation of our Shatuo clan, and their performance this time is even more remarkable, and they are all a group of good people. After speaking, he introduced Li Quanzhong and Cheng Huaixin to the officers of the Zhenwu Army, "These two are both generals who have just come from Taiyuan in Yunzhou." ‘

Everyone hurriedly said: "I have admired it for a long time, and the names of the two generals are like thunder." "Actually, I was thinking about it. It turned out that these two people were the so-called seven generals of Yunzhou. thought that these two people had killed Duan Wenchu five people alive, and they also shared their meat. They don't feel very comfortable in their hearts.

Li Qianzhong was very polite and humble on the surface, and then he picked a middle seat and sat down.

"For victory, congratulations!"

"For victory!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Li Guochang has not led the Zhenwu army for a long time, and at present, the Zhenwu army and the Shatuo army in the army, and even the recruited tribal soldiers and horses, are in chaos. Taking advantage of the victory, this banquet has the flavor of strengthening some emotional connections.

While drinking, everyone was talking nonsense, most of them praising Li Guochang's bravery and martial arts.

"Jie Shuai, today's victory is all thanks to the commander's proper planning and good command." Yang Lin, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, said with a smile on the side, "Especially last night, the marshal took the lead, risked arrows and stones to attack the city, and bravely killed the enemy, which greatly boosted morale." If it weren't for the fact that the festival commander was so brave, I am afraid that our Zhenwu Army might not be able to take it down if it takes another day or two. ”

"That's that!" The generals echoed in unison.

Jiedu Sima Wu Xian interjected: "I went to inspect the prisoner of war camp before, and those party members are all quite brave, only a little worse than our Shatuo army. When I passed by, I heard a few captives talking together, one of them seemed to be a general's party leader, saying that he had been a soldier for 20 years, and he was also very confident in his martial arts, but he had never dreamed of such a brave general. He said that Li Jing, the Duke of Wei who destroyed the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiji and Su Dingfang who destroyed Goguryeo, Xue Rengui in Dingtian Mountain, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi in the Zhongxing Tang Dynasty, and Li Sheng, the famous general, are only quite compared with the great handsome. Now he hopes that Da Shuai can spare him death, and then he will follow Da Shuai's side from now on, even if he is willing to lead a horse and carry a knife for Da Shuai. ”

Wu Xian's blatant flattery and sycophancy made Li Guochang laugh and was very useful. Although he also knew that he would definitely not be able to compare with famous generals such as Li Jing, Guo Ziyi, and Li Sheng, he was still very satisfied.

He smiled and said: "Wu Sima's performance today is also very good, when I turn around and defeat Youzhou, I think that you can serve as the assassin of Youzhou!" ”

Wu Xian was overjoyed, got up and knelt down to Li Guochang, and actually kowtowed: "Thank you for your cultivation!" ”

Li Guochang sat there and waited until Wu Xian finished kowtowing before pretending to refuse. Waiting for Wu Xian to get up, Yang Lin and the others also hurriedly slapped their fart, Li Guochang also laughed, and then made a promise to everyone, trying his best to win over, and for a while, the atmosphere on the wine table was extremely warm. If it weren't for the fact that the officers of the Zhenwu Army were too old, they would almost be ready to kowtow to Li Guochang and worship their father-in-law.

Yang Lin toasted Li Guochang with wine, and said loudly to everyone: "Handsome, I Yang Lin is a rough man." As the saying goes, follow the wolf to eat meat, follow the dog to eat! Those of us who are soldiers are all working hard to tear apart and kill men, what are we trying to do? Isn't it just a powerful and generous and benevolent boss? With the commander, we not only do not owe food and salary now, but also win battles and reward them richly, where can we find such a good boss? Let's not say anything else, in the future, I only wish to look forward to the handsome horse, follow the handsome, go to the soup, and never give up! ”

He raised his head and drank the wine: "Dashuai, I'll do it first as a respect!" ”

Suddenly, the other officers of the Zhenwu Army stood up one after another, raised their glasses and drank them all.

Li Guochang also raised his cup and drank it all, with a smile on his face.

He poured another glass of wine, raised it and said to everyone: "Come, let's raise a glass together, and wish to defeat Tuoba Sigong in one fell swoop and take Youzhou." ”

"Exactly." The generals stand. "There is a big man leading us. Our army will surely sing a song of triumph. All the way into Chang'an City. ”

Li Guochang shook his head: "No, Chang'an City can't go now, we just need to capture Youzhou and then take Yanzhou." ”

Li Qianzhong asked, "Why?" ”

Li Guochang said calmly: "Now is not the time, our task this time is to fight all the way to Yanzhou, shake Chang'an, let that young son of heaven in Chang'an know the power of our Shatuo people, and let him hand over Daibei and Hedong to us." ”

Everyone nodded their heads in appreciation. If they really want to fight Chang'an, they are still a little worried in their hearts, after all, there are only 10,000 people, and the Shence army in Chang'an and Gyeonggi is known as 150,000 people.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is more harmonious, and everyone has put aside the superiority and inferiority of you and me, and they are brothers when they open their mouths.

This banquet was drunk until the third watch in the middle of the night, and when the banquet was dispersed, everyone was floating with their feet and swaying.

Wait until the generals of the Zhenwu Army leave. Li Guochang, who was originally drunk and unconscious, suddenly sat up, although his face was flushed. But a pair of eyes are extraordinarily clear, which looks like a drunk.

"Duzhong, tell me, how is the situation in Taiyuan?" Li Guochang beckoned Li Quanzhong to come over.

"The situation in Taiyuan is not very good, this Zheng Congyan is very cunning, although his subordinates have gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses in five towns, but they have been sticking to Taiyuan, and digging countless ditches outside Jinyang City, trapping horse pits, and implementing strong walls to clear the wilderness, and withdraw the people of Taiyuan into the city. The war horses of our Shatuo warriors simply cannot give full play to their advantages under Jinyang City. After staying, let me lead 3,000 people to come, which means that he changed his attack to defense, dragged the five-way soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and asked the marshal to take Youzhou and Yanzhou first, and forced the imperial court to retreat, otherwise, this battle will not be fought. ”

Li Guochang frowned tightly, and he didn't have the smug and wild appearance at the half-point banquet.

"I heard that the Zhendong Army has entered Jin and captured Ulzhou? Is this true? ”

"It's true, Li Jing's 20,000 Zhendong Army beat Lu Longjun in Youzhou and bowed his head, and then went all the way into Ulzhou."

Li Guochang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he also felt a great pressure.

"You go back and prepare, we will send troops to Yan'en early tomorrow morning, and now it is too late to return to the division, we can only fight with Li Jing to see whether he will take Daibei first, or we will take Yanzhou first." Li Guochang quickly made a decision, "Fortunately, Shan Yudu Hufu and Shuozhou are safe for the time being, and I hope they can hold on." ”

Yang Lin, the deputy envoy of the Zhenwu Army, was drunk at the banquet, and was helped back to the camp by his family after the most disappointment. As soon as he arrived in the camp, half-lying on the bed, the family leader whispered a few words in his ear, and Yang Lin, who was still drunk and smoked, immediately sat up, the boss with a pair of eyes open: "Shan Yudu Protector Mansion, Dutian German Army Jiedu and Helian Department have joined forces to break through, and the families of the soldiers have fallen into the hands of Yu Xuan?" It's true? ”

"In the evening our men caught a Tang man, who claimed to be a messenger and wanted to see the lieutenant. He carried more than a dozen letters with him, including those of Li Jing of the Zhendong Army and Yu Xuan of the Tiande Army, as well as the fathers of the deputy marshals and the families of the generals. ”

"What about faith?" The family general handed him the letter, and after a quick reading, Yang Lin's face was gloomy and scary. "Bring the messenger in at once, and be careful not to let anyone else find out."

"Don't worry, the deputy marshal came in with a military uniform as early as when he was outside, and no one knows his identity."

A moment later, the family will take Li Yang into Yang Lin's tent.

"How is it, has the deputy marshal read the handwritten letter from Duke Guo and Duke Li?" Li Yang said with a smile.

Yang Lin nodded, "What do you mean?" ”

"Of course, as long as the Zhenwu army is in battle and strikes back, not only can you be spared the crime of following Li Guochang's rebellion, but also have a great merit. If you don't believe the words of my county lord, then you have to believe the words of Yu Gong. Yu Gong is not only the marshal of a town, but also the deputy envoy of this recruitment, and his brother is the minister of the court's political affairs hall. With the help of the master and apprentice to protect you, what do you have to worry about? After speaking, he said solemnly, "On the contrary, if you miss this opportunity, not only will your family be safe, but you will also have a way out?" Li Guochang's father and son are about to be destroyed, are you still going to risk your own net worth and life to accompany them to death? ”

"Those who know the times are handsome, and it is the best policy to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and pull out the chaos in order."

Yang Lin didn't have any burden on opposing Li Guochang, and the soldiers and horses in the towns at this time were accustomed to it anyway, and whoever had a big fist would follow him. He also believed that Li Jing and Yu Xuan would protect them, but he was still afraid that the Zhenwu army would not be able to deal with the Shatuo people.

"We only have 6,000 people, and the Shatuo people already have more than 2,000, and just now another 3,000 elite reinforcements have come, I'm afraid that we are not opponents." Yang Lin expressed the worry in his heart.

Li Yang said: "There are still 3,000 elites in Youzhou's Tuoba Department, and they can shoot together. Besides, as long as the plan is good, let's do it tonight, and if we are not prepared, there is still a great chance. ”

"Do it tonight?" Yang Lin was a little surprised.

"Without further ado, if Li Guochang also receives the news of the loss of Shan Yudu's Protectorate, then we won't be able to do it."

Gritting his teeth, Yang Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll call the main officers to come right away." ”

After a while, dozens of high-ranking officers of the Zhenwu Army quietly came and gathered a tent.

Yang Lin directly sent the letters of the generals to their families, and then said: "At the beginning, we were also coerced by Li Guochang to raise troops, but now, the opportunity has come anyway." As long as we kill Li Guochang, we can not only be exonerated from the crime, but also make a great contribution, and we can protect your family and my relatives. Do any of you have any objections? ”

Marching Sima Wu Xian's eyes rolled, he felt that he could not defeat the Shatuo people by relying on this little man. What's more, he is the newly appointed Zhenwu Army Jiedu Sima, and his family is not in the Shan Yu Protectorate, and he was promised by Li Guochang to be the assassin of Youzhou, so he is a little reluctant to rebel again. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he slowly walked towards the corner of the tent, wanting to take the opportunity to leave.

Unexpectedly, a soldier wearing a Zhenwu military uniform suddenly turned around the corner of the tent, and a sword wiped Wu Xian's neck.

Blood splattered, but Wu Xian's mouth was covered, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Yang Lin and the others all looked at Li Yang in surprise as a small soldier, Li Yang waited for Wu Xian to die, wiped the dagger on the corpse a few times and put it away, and said coldly: "This person just wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and he went to report the news at a glance, if he succeeds, no one present today will be able to escape death." ”

Things have come to this point, and there is no longer the slightest hesitation. After a simple discussion, the generals quietly returned to their respective camps, and at the time of the fourth watch in the middle of the night, the camp suddenly caught fire, Yang Lin and others rushed directly to the Shatuo soldier camp in the center of the military city, and opened the gate of the military city on the other hand, and raised the fire to send a signal to Tuoba Sigong to come, and the three thousand party cavalry had already been ambushed outside the city, and when they were waiting for some impatience, they finally saw the signal and rode their horses straight into the city.

Li Guochang was sleeping soundly, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, and hurriedly got up, but saw the chief of the guard running in in a panic, "Dashuai, the Zhenwu army is reversed, they also put the party members in, now the city is in chaos, the brothers are caught off guard, there are heavy casualties, the military city can't be defended, quickly retreat!" ”

The situation in the city can no longer be controlled, 6,000 Zhenwu troops and 3,000 party soldiers suddenly attacked, and many Shatuo people were still drunk last night, and they didn't wake up at this time, and they lost their heads directly in their sleep. The Shatuo people couldn't organize at all, so they were killed in a complete chaos.

After the last, Li Guochang was escorted by more than 300 cavalry to break out of a heavy encirclement and fled north.

The 10,000 troops who went south plus the 3,000 Shatuo soldiers reinforced by Li Qianzhong later, the Zhenwu army rebelled after the last, and only more than 300 horsemen remained after the 6,000 Shatuo soldiers, and the rest were all killed. (To be continued......)
