Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 96
Two days later, Gao Yancuo also led dozens of cavalry to flee to Qingniling, bringing the tragic battle in Huanghua Valley. They were ambushed and intercepted halfway.

At that time, everyone's heart sank, and they felt that Li Jin, who went to Baijian, was only afraid of bad luck.

A few days later, some defeated soldiers from the north fled back. At first, some of them couldn't tell what was going on. They only heard the people in front shouting that they were defeated, and they were afraid to run back.

I asked a lot of people to know that Bai Jian's army was also blocked. Li Jin was not afraid.

Afterwards, the various ministries fled and fled everywhere in the mountains, but only a few were able to escape back to the Qingniling area.

Some of the commanders present knelt on the spot and cried in grief. It turned out to be Li Jin's younger brother. Hearing that his brother died in battle, he could not control his emotions for a while.

Everyone was silent, and there was an unwilling sadness in the fear.

Li Yangui didn't say a word. In his general principle, the coach can never take the initiative to admit his mistake.

All the signs show that the generals of Zhou Jun guessed their intentions and made reasonable arrangements to deal with them, so that they were completely defeated and completely got into the ambush of others.

Li Yangui sighed, whether he was old or General Zhou Jun was too powerful, he was a little confused.

Zhou Jun's striker has arrived in Guzhen, intimidating Qingniling, and he can't stay here any longer.
Li Yangui never imagined that the battle had reached this stage. He had fought many battles in his life and was familiar with the terrain around Chencangdao. This step field.

He originally thought that Zhou Guo would return without success this time, just like the Han soldiers entered the Great Sanctuary after that year.

The worst result is that more people die, and Fengzhou can still hold on.

Never thought it would fail like this.

"Shi Congyun, ah, Shi Congyun" Li Yangui recited this name silently, with a lot of unwillingness in his heart, and the source of many things was in this name.

Although there is still fighting ahead, the Double Ninth Festival in Chengdu is still extraordinarily colorful and lively. There are pots of autumn chrysanthemums on the streets and alleys. Meng Chang took Mrs. Huarui and many beautiful concubines on a float parade, saying that he would have fun with the people.

The streets and alleys of Chengdu were crowded with people, decorating a picture of a grand event, enough to numb the panic caused by the defeat at the front line, making Meng Chang very happy for a few days.

In the evening, a grand lantern show is held. For several nights in a row, the entire Chengdu seems to be a city that never sleeps, which is extremely expensive and extravagant.

However, this "prosperous scene" did not last long.

Only a few days later, five fast and dusty horses rushed into Chengdu City, with white flags stuck behind their backs, galloping all the way towards the imperial palace, almost hitting people several times on the way without stopping.

Anyone with knowledge can see this situation and understand that there is no good news coming.

In addition to the children of the powerful, the only people who can run unscrupulously in the city of Chengdu are the fast horses who report the news.

If it is a good news, the messenger will definitely shout it all the way, so that ordinary people know that there is nothing wrong with the news of the good news on the front line.

Now these reporters keep their mouths shut and just hurry on their way. Most of them have had an accident, and what they brought back is not good news.

By the next day, the Shu Kingdom Hall was in an uproar.

Panic was written on almost everyone's faces.

The letter arrived last night. The Zhou army defeated their army in Huanghua Valley, Tangcang Town, Baijian, Fengzhou Chengnan and other places. Generals Wang Luan and Li Jin died in battle, and Lu Yanke surrendered.

Then the Zhou army went south to capture Malingzhai, and out of Guzhen, the soldiers pointed at Qingniling, and they were about to enter Hanzhong!

No one can sit still.

Meng Chang sat at the top, looking at the anxious faces of everyone below, but he couldn't come up with a feasible way to talk about it, and he was anxious and angry.

I think these servants are rubbish.

"Your Majesty, please treat the crimes of Li Yangui, Gao Yankui, Lu Yanke, Wang Luan, Li Jin and others!
As generals, they lived up to the grace of the saints. They couldn't even beat a small Zhou Guo striker, and they returned the lost soldiers in a thousand pieces. They really lost the face of our country of Shu, and they were ashamed of the trust of the late emperor and His Majesty! "At last an envoy stood up and spoke.

Meng Chang heard it and felt that there was some truth. These people really failed him, and he nodded and was about to speak.

The following is famous for being familiar with military books. Wang Zhaoyuan, a self-proclaimed cleric and direct scholar of martial arts, said, "This is the end of the matter. If you say what's the use of those, let's think of a solution first."

Wang Zhaoyuan was originally a monk, and he was a boy who accompanied Meng Chang since he was a child. The two had a good relationship, so even if he was only a privy straight bachelor, his words were very important. Meng Chang often felt that Wang Zhaoyuan was very talented and should be reused. It's just that his mother, Empress Dowager Li, always disagreed, thinking that Wang Zhaoyuan was just a rhetoric.

Meng Chang listened and nodded from above, and felt that what Wang Zhaoyuan said was also very reasonable, and he should find a way first.

Li Hao, the servant under the door who is also the Minister of the Household, Tongping Zhangshi, supervises the history of the country, and leads the left servant, Li Hao said: "The old minister also thinks it's better to think of a way first, let's fight like this, Zhou Jun has arrived in Hanzhong. ."

Meng Chang felt more reasonable.

"Then tell me quickly, what is the best way to retreat from the enemy!" He didn't care about anything at this time, he only thought about retreating the enemy, and tried every means to send Zhou's army away.

But when it came time to speak, everyone was silent again.

Meng Chang was furious and was about to curse when Wang Zhaoyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this minister has something to say."

"Okay, come on!" Meng Chang was so excited that he was now like a drowning man with no masters. Anyone who stretched out a stick wanted to hold on tightly.

Although Meng Chang often talked about those big ambitions, and even when he was drunk, he would say that he wanted to leave the customs and recover the Central Plains, but since he was a child, he was not someone who had to endure hardships and grew up. It sounds good, but very little is put into practice.

Wang Zhaoyuan stood up and said, "First of all, let's go to Jianmen Pass, Baidi City, and increase our troops to prevent accidents."

"Secondly, Your Majesty should write a letter to the Lord of Zhou State in person, stating the interests and interests, and telling him that both the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to raise troops. If his army dares to go south again, the two countries will not sit idly by!"

Meng Chang heard it and thought it was very reasonable: "Okay, just do it like this, Li Hao will write a letter for me."

Li Hao agreed.

Wang Zhaoyuan continued: "In my opinion, the main reason for this battle is that Shi Congyun, the forward of the Zhou Army, was too powerful. He even fought the battle of Huanggu, but people have shortcomings and weaknesses. , it is the best policy to take action against Shi Congyun."

"The old man has long heard that Shi Congyun can fight and fight, but he is young and frivolous and lustful. Along the way, he robbed many good women of good families and detained the Chinese army for fun."

"Scholar Wang, why haven't I heard of such things, isn't it just your imagination?" Someone questioned.

"It's spread all over the city, can't you hear it?" Wang Zhaoyuan asked unhappily.
