(Thanks for the points. Wind reward, ask for a monthly pass! Fourteenth on the classification list, brothers, can we take another step or two? ）

On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Qianfu, Zheng Congyan led the soldiers and horses of the seven towns to raid and seize the annoying pass downstairs, and broke the Shatuo soldiers and horses by 5,000. After capturing the Lou Fu Pass, all the generals rushed to ask for battle, Zheng Cong Yan Zi and Zhenwu Army Jie Du made Yu Xuan stay in Lou Fu Pass, and allowed the rest of the five towns to attack the new city, by Xia Sui Jiedu Tuoba Sigong, Tiande Army Jie Du made Helian Duo each rate the headquarters as the vanguard, Heyang Jiedu made Li Zhuo, Yicheng Jiedu made Li Chong, and Zhongwu Jiedu made Cui Anqian three marshals each led the town soldiers and horses to follow.

Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo were both bent on merit, and the soldiers and horses marched quickly, and the soldiers and horses had already reached the new city that night. There are only 3,000 defenders in the new city, and they are invoking each other, but now they don't know that the Lou Fu Pass has been captured. That night, Tuoba Sigong repeated the old trick, with the method of attacking the building, and then seized the new city and closed the gate, and then two 6,000 Hu cavalry entered the new city. By the time dawn came, 14,000 soldiers and horses from the three towns of Heyang, Yicheng and Zhongwu arrived, and the new city had been completely captured.

After the soldiers and horses of the Dangxiang and Tuyuhun tribes captured Xincheng, they plundered the army and raped the women and robbed the property. Tuoba Sigong because of the capture of the city, the city resistance was fierce, the loss was not small, after entering the city simply ordered the slaughter of the city, Helian Duo did not persuade at all, but relied on the army, more than half of the new city was divided into Helian robbery area, the two sides even once because of the looting and fought with each other.

When the follow-up soldiers and horses of the three towns arrived, the new city had become an empty city, and the Tuoba and Helian tribes plundered the city, and the heads cut off were piled up. The two Hu soldiers not only killed all the three Shatuo soldiers, but also killed all the men of the Shatuo tribe and other tribes in the city. to pass off as military merit. The Tuoba Department has eight thousand. Helian has more than 13,000 levels. The children's and women's belongings were divided between the two parts.

Cui Anqian, the envoy of the Loyal Army, is the younger brother of the former Prime Minister Cui Youzhi, who is the most honest and loyal, and last time he refused to help Tian Lingzi arrange his brother to serve in the Loyal Army, and was hated by Tian Lingzi. This time, the loyal army was also transferred. The territory of the Zhongwu Army is not large, only the land of Xu, Chen, and Cai. However, the loyal army has always been arrogant, and after Cui An sneaked in. The army was reorganized, and some sturdy new Zhongwu Badu were recruited, each with 1,000 men and horses, because the Zhongwu Badu wore yellow turbans, so in the coalition army, the Zhongwu Army was also known as the Yellow Head Army.

Among the generals and coalition forces, the military discipline of the loyal Huangtou Army is undoubtedly the best. After Cui An sneaked to the new city, he was very angry when he saw that the Dangxiang Tuoba soldiers and the Tuyu Hun Helian cavalry actually dared to slaughter the city and kill the good and take the risk.

Cui Anqian directly broke into the city with the eight generals of Zhongwu. Let Tuoba Sigong and Helianduo be invited, and the sword in his hand is on the ground. Angrily asked the two: "We are the kings of the imperial court, and we are here to quell the rebellion." The people of Daibei are hoping that the imperial court will relieve the people's fire, but now you ignore the discipline in the army, openly slaughter the city, rape and plunder, and kill innocent people, how can you be at peace in your heart? ”

Seeing Cui Anqian's anger, the two couldn't help but be frightened in their hearts, first, they were frightened by the elite new army of Zhongwu Badu in Cui Anqian's hands, and secondly, Cui Anqian had a close relationship with Li Jing, but was the brother of Li Jing's other teacher Cui Yunqing, one of the two was Qinghe Cui's family, and the other was Qinghe Cui's Qingzhou Fang branch. The two were frightened and speechless, and they could only watch Cui An sneak into the new city of Zhongwu Badu, and take down the soldiers and horses of Tuoba and Helian who were still looting and send them to the soldiers and horses of the five towns. In the end, the two had no choice but to order the execution of more than 100 people, and the rest of the captured people were also punished with military sticks, and even the looted property and people were forced to hand over at this time. Although the two of them did not resist on their faces, they already hated Cui Anqian very much in their hearts.

The soldiers and horses of the five towns entered the new city, temporarily stopped the march, and waited for Li Jing to attack Yanmen.

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

When Li Keyong heard that Li Jing led an army of 20,000 to Yanmen, he couldn't help but be angry and shocked. He didn't expect that in such a snowy weather, Li Jing would dare to enter. Li Keyong was ready to send troops to deal with Li Jing, and Liu persuaded on the side, "At present, among the soldiers and horses in the towns of the imperial court, only Li Jing is the strongest soldier, with an army of 40,000 under his command, and the Wei Dynasty Yun Prefecture is now in Li Jing's hands." It's better to pretend to surrender to Li Jing and stabilize it first. ”

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

Li Jing summoned Li Cunzhang in the Daizhou Assassin Mansion, looked at this young son who should be Li Keyong's elder, and chuckled: "Li Keyong sent you here, why did you do it?" ”

Standing at the bottom of the hall, Li Cunzhang quietly looked at Li Jing, Li Jing's youth made him feel a little unbelievable, not only young, but more important is that Li Jing is quite tall and tall, but because of his fair face, the whole person is heroic, and he looks more like a scribe. Especially Li Jing was wearing a round-necked robe at this time, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, a white face, and a short beard under his chin, sitting in the chair in the hall, and actually holding a handful of books in his hand.

"I came here this time, because Li Zhenwu and Li Liuhou both admired Li Zhenguo's prestige very much, Li Zhenwu and his son had no intention of rebelling against the imperial court, everything was just a misunderstanding. Today, Li Zhenwu and his son are willing to return to the imperial court and be loyal to Li Tang. In order to show his sincerity and respect for Li Zhenguo, Li Zhenwu is willing to marry his daughter to Li Zhenguo, and the two families will marry each other to become a good Qin and Jin Dynasty. ”

Li Jing sneered, and Zhang Chengye, the military envoy next to him, was already angrily reprimanded: "Phew! Zhu Xie Chixin's father and son received the favor of the country in the world, and they didn't know how to repay the service, but they went against the sky and had no way, and they rebelled against the army and made chaos. My emperor sent troops to rebel, my handsome responded to the emperor's order, and wanted to destroy his nine clans to deter the world, and my handsome man can marry the rebel, you are also worthy? I don't kill you, you go quickly, let Li Ya'er surrender quickly, bind himself to surrender, and maybe give him a good time then. ”

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

Li Jing's eyes were still looking at the book, and when he saw that he was still there, he turned his head and sneered: "The words of the military envoy Zhang are exactly what the commander intended, since you are reluctant to leave, then don't go." Someone came, explained the words of the military envoy Zhang to Li Cunzhang's entourage, and let him go back. Li Cunzhang and the rest of his entourage were all left behind and temporarily imprisoned. ”

Li Cunzhang's face changed, "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them, Li Jing, you can't do this!" ”

"What are you to make? Li Ya'er is just a traitor, take it away! Li Cunzhang's bravery, Li Jing still knows the way, and at such a time, he actually sent him to the door, Li Jing will not send him back in a pedantic way. Come and catch one by one, catch one, and Li Ke will have one less help.

When he came, Li Cunzhang came with dozens of people, and when he returned, only a small soldier remained. Seeing this, Li Ke angrily killed the soldier who had reported the letter. "Li Jing's dog thief, he deceived me too much!" Immediately gather troops and horses to prepare to attack Li Jing.

At this time, the Liu family had already heard the news and rushed over, and Gai Yu dissuaded him from left to right.

"Then you say, what should I do?"

Gai Yu said with a bitter face the news that he had just received about the loss of Lou Fu and Xincheng, "Lou Fu and Xincheng and Yanmen, the three cities are the southern gateways of Shuozhou. Now that the three cities have lost two of them, it is useless to continue to guard Yanmen. There are many soldiers in the imperial court, and now the soldiers have come in three ways. Lou Fu Xincheng was lost, Zheng Congyan's 40,000 troops had entered the south of Shuozhou, and Li Jing still had 10,000 troops in the north of Yunzhou. In the current situation, Yanmen can not be defended alone, if the Tang army on the other side of the new city has not yet outflanked us, we will first take the initiative to abandon Yanmen and retreat to the area of Mayi and Shanyang, so that our soldiers and horses can be concentrated, and Shanyang, Mayi, and Jincheng will be each other's horns. ”

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

"Go back to Mayi first, if there is a chance, we will repel Li Jing's 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north, kill a way out of the fortress, and break through the siege."

At that moment, Li Keyong had made up his mind, and quietly opened the north gate at night, and the 5,000 infantry in Guanzhong went first, and Li Keyong personally led 5,000 cavalry behind. When the gate of the wild goose was closed, black flags were still everywhere and torches were planted.

When it was dawn the next day, the scouts of the Eagle Battalion noticed that something was wrong, and cautiously approached the pass, only to find that the city was empty. At the moment, he urgently reported to Li Wei, and Li Wei sent special operations to the head of the city, only to find that the male head of Yanmen and the first Xiongguan in Jiuzhai had actually become an empty city.

After Li Jing heard the news, he was very happy. Li Keyong ran better, such a Xiongguan as Yanmen Pass, if you really want to attack the city, Li Jing's 20,000 horses are estimated to be less than a month or two, and it will be difficult to take half of the casualties.

The soldiers of Zhenguo entered Yanmen Pass without blood, and Li Jing received Yanmen Pass on the one hand, and sent a messenger to report to Loufu Pass on the other.

After Zheng Congyan received the news that Yanmen Pass had been lowered and Li Keyong abandoned the pass and fled to Mayi, he was in high spirits, and immediately rewarded the messenger and wrote a letter back, asking Li Jing to immediately send troops and go to Shanyang City to meet together.

Subsequently, Zheng Congyan left a group of soldiers and horses to guard the building, and he and Yu Xuan led the army to Xincheng, summoned the generals of the towns, announced the good news, and ordered the whole army to attack Shanyang City. Heyang Jiedu made Li Zhuo and Yicheng Jiedu make Li Chong see that Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo easily took down the Loufu Pass and Xincheng, and Li Jing even took the Yanmen Xiongguan without blood, and they all thought that Li Keyong's fall was imminent, and they all asked for battle.

Only the Loyal Military Jie Du made Cui Anqian Zheng Congyan participate in the two copies of Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo, saying that the two slaughtered the city, raped and plundered, and indiscriminately killed innocent people. After Zheng Congyan heard this, he only blamed the two of them in public, but said that when they were employing people now, they would not punish them, but let the two of them atone for their crimes, which made Cui Anqian very dissatisfied.

After the most rear, Zheng Congyan still took Tuoba and Helian as the vanguard, led the four towns of Hedong, Heyang, Yicheng and Zhongwu as the central army, and let the deputy envoy Yu Xuan lead the Zhenwu army as the rear army to escort food. 40,000 soldiers and horses slaughtered Shanyang City, the seat of Benshuo Prefecture.
