Marry Changle in Datang

Chai Shao refuted Kong Yingda and replied to the emperor's words, which made the ministers in the palace shocked by Qin Wenyuan's thoughts. At that time, the prosperity of Qizhou will attract people all over the world to yearn for it.

In fact, the ministers dare not imagine, let alone describe, the prestige of the Qin family among the common people in the world at that time.

Naturally, Li Shimin could think of things that the ministers did not dare to imagine and describe, and repeatedly lamented and regretted that he didn't know about gold inlaid with jade.

"I regret that I should have scruples and lose my talent to help the world!"

Since then, Li Shimin has had a grudge against Xiao Yu, Li Daozong, etc., and began to weaken the various forces of the aristocratic family in the court. , the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty was finally opened, which laid a solid foundation for the rule of Kaiyuan later in the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Wenyuan led the crowd back to western Liaoning, and a few days later ordered the Pingliao mansion in the "Dragon City" to be rebuilt and renamed the "Marshal" mansion in Daliao.

After the "Marshal" Mansion of Daliao was put into use and began to exercise the military administration in western Liaoning, the yamen issued a notice informing the people in western Liaoning that the Qin family army would recruit soldiers. All the people in western Liaoning who voluntarily joined the army would be given corresponding land by the recruitment system, and all foreigners living in western Liaoning would be subject to three-year military service. system, its military members enjoy preferential policies for working and doing business in western Liaoning.

Qin Wenyuan proclaimed himself the "Marshal" of Liaocheng to be in charge of the military administration, and Sima Yuntian was the general staff member of the "Marshal" of Liaocheng, performing the duties of military counselor and supervising various government affairs in western Liaoning.

"Pingzhou" and "Yingzhou" were upgraded to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and all the former officials in charge were promoted to the military administration of the area under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor, and all the officials under his command were promoted to one level.

The "Songmo" city yamen was established as the "Songmo Duhufu" yamen, and Wu Ping was promoted to Songmo Duhu to manage minority affairs and restraint. The Qin family army led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and the officials of the original Songmo City Yamen were all promoted. level one.

Zhao Meng, Zhou Cang, Ruan Wenxiong, Luo Shiyi, Lu Qingling, Shang Fei, Su Jinwu, and Qi Lisu Gu were all promoted to deputy generals of Xu Tian, ​​leading the ranks of military generals from the third rank. Chen Boss and Chen Lao Er, who had been in western Liaoning for several months, were fifth ranks As a guerrilla general, Ma San was promoted to the fourth-rank general, in charge of the intelligence organization in western Liaoning, and Zhang Dabao was promoted to the commander of the fourth-rank Shangshui army in western Liaoning, controlling all warships in the western Liaoning military port.

The Turkic wolf cavalry, which regards Qin Wenyuan as the main force, is the guard force of the Turkic tribes stationed outside the city of "Songmo" for Xu Jun. It is led by the deputy general under the command of Kilisu Gu and directly under the control of the "Grand Marshal" mansion.

After recruiting new troops, the Qin Family Army in western Liaoning was reorganized into an elite force of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. After months of uninterrupted extraordinary training, it is now fully formed.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, before summer and early autumn, the battle to conquer Liaodong began slowly!

After completely entrusting the military affairs of western Liaoning to Sima Yuntian, Wu Ping, and righteous brother Zhao Wenxuan, Qin Wenyuan chose an auspicious day to order the army to gather.

With the sound of drums and horns, an army of [-] marched out of the east gate of "Dragon City". Generals Zhao Meng, Zhou Cang, Ruan Wenxiong, Luo Shiyi, Lu Qingling, Shang Fei, Su Jinwu, Kili Sugu, Chen Boss, and Chen Lao Er were all fully clothed. All the generals surrounded Xu Tian, ​​but they saw the Qin army's banners unfurling and long halberds like a forest.

Under the handsome banner with the word "Qin", Xu Tian wears a purple and gold crown of two dragons playing with pearls on his head, two long feathers fly high, and he wears a soapy white robe embroidered with sun and moon ripples and black armor of black iron. With a waist buttoned around his head, field boots on his feet, a slender body, and a face that shines like a full moon, he is such a mighty and handsome general, which made many daughters of the people who stopped to watch secretly feel their hearts.

In a few days, the army had arrived at an open area hundreds of miles east of "Yingzhou", which was less than a hundred miles away from the Koryo royal city in Liaodong.

At that time, Liaodong Wangcheng still followed the system of the Goguryeo people in the former Sui Dynasty. Wang Hui, the descendant of Wang Yang of the Gaoli nationality who was the king of Liaodong in the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, succeeded as the king of Liaodong.

Speaking of Wang Hui's family is a common surname of the Goguryeo clan. His ancestors occupied Liaodong during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The purpose of sending troops to Liaodong ended in failure. It is conceivable how powerful this royal family is in Liaodong.

The King of Koryo in Liaodong is not the same as the Gao family of the Koryo royal family guarding the land of Andong.

The current king of Liaodong, Wang Hui, is tall and tall, and he is used to wielding two eight-edged silver hammers. This guy looks harmless to humans and animals, but his behavior is perverse. He will not tolerate anyone who disobeys him at all. Hearing the opinions of Murong Chong, the counselors around him, he obeyed his advice on military and state affairs.

Murong Chong is a member of the Murong family in the former Yan Dynasty. His ancestors also established a country in Liaodong and became the king. After being destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, they have always been obsessed with the act of restoring the country. However, due to the rise of the Goguryeo clan, the hopes of restoring the country for generations were finally shattered. Since then, the Murong people have devoted themselves to studying literature and martial arts without caring about worldly affairs.

Wang Hui's ancestors knew the Murong family's abilities very well, and sincerely invited the Murong family to become officials. As a result, the Murong family already had a second generation of children working for the Liaodong Prince's Palace.

When Qin Wenyuan led his army to less than a hundred miles away from the Liaodong King's City, some spies from the palace of the Liaodong Common People rushed to report to the Liaodong Army.

In the Prince's Mansion in Liaodong, Wang Hui was drinking and having fun with a group of civil and military officials. A dozen beautiful women from Goguryeo were singing and dancing in the hall. Seeing Wang Hui and the two beauties on his left and right, their faces were flushed and they were very happy, but a group of courtiers were accompanying the music, watching The chatter among the dancing girls is actually imitating the Tang court's civil and martial arts and entertaining the emperor, but they want to create some elegant taste of drinking and composing poems.

Just when Wang Hui was living like a fairy, a general of the Liaodong Army entered the palace to report to the prince.

"Report to the lord! According to the news from the spies, there are [-] troops from the Xu family army of the Great Tang Dynasty approaching Liaodong. The intention is unknown. I hope the lord will make a plan early."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Wang Hui got up and kicked over the low table in front of him, and said angrily.

"The Liaoxi Qin army dared to covet this king's territory. I think it was a daring act and quickly recruited generals. This king wants to see how capable the Qin army is."

"Wait a minute, my lord! Murong thinks that this matter should be discussed in a long-term way. He thinks that Liaoxi is now controlled by Xu Tian. He has heard that this son is good at strategizing. Most of his subordinates are tiger and wolf soldiers. Now the situation in Liaoxi is prosperous. The Qin army is very powerful. In the hearts of the people, Your Majesty should gather all the generals to make a plan first, and make our troops strengthen their guard at various important roads, and we will make plans after we understand the purpose of the Qin army."

"Murong Junjun's words are justified, and passed on to the generals of the Imperial Guard Army, City Guard Army, and Huihuang Army to discuss matters in the palace."

After Wang Hui issued a series of orders, he pushed back the singing girls in the hall, and the anger on the throne was still lingering.

Speaking of the situation of the Qin army, Qin Wenyuan had to report to his scouts, and learned that there was a place called "Wuli Valley" [-] miles ahead, with nearly a thousand soldiers of the Liaodong Army stationed.

Spread out the map to check, and confirm that "Wuli Valley" is the outer barrier to enter Liaodong.

Upon receiving this information, Qin Wenyuan ordered Luo Shiyi and Lu Qingling to lead [-] cavalry to take this place.

The two generals got the order, so they sent their troops to the "Wuli Valley" where the Liao army was stationed, and they took it without any effort to destroy it.

After the "Qin Army" occupied the important area of ​​"Wuli Valley", according to the terrain, [-] infantry were set up on both sides of the valley road to set up a pincer-shaped camp, and [-] cavalry were hidden in the dense forest outside the valley to form the left and right wings. It was agreed that the cavalry would use red signal flares to get in touch.

In the tent of the Chinese Army, Qin Wenyuan was listening to Ma San's report on the situation of the troops stationed in Liaodong City. He learned that there were 15 troops stationed in Liaodong City. Yes, and Murong Chong has a good command of the army, and the strength of the defenders in Liaodong City should not be underestimated.

After learning about this situation, Qin Wenyuan sent an order to the whole army to rectify the food and grass, and tomorrow they will meet the legendary King of Liaodong.

The same situation happened in the Liaodong Palace. According to reports from various spies, Xu Jun has already occupied the dangerous place of "Wuli Valley" at the gate of Liaodong. To the Liaodong Wangcheng is a wide land with flat plains, and the slight hills are more convenient for cavalry to attack.

The Liaodong Army was ordered by Murong to send [-] "Brilliant Army" as the main force to directly face the Xu Army outside the city.

On the next day, when the sun was rising from the edge of the sky and everything was cool at dawn, Qin Wenyuan was surrounded by two hundred fully armed guards in front of the Qin army, and walked slowly until he reached the formation of the "Brilliant Army" in Liaodong under the city. , Zhou Cang pointed at the opponent's general with a iron rod and shouted loudly.

"A certain is Zhou Cang, the leader of Marshal Qin's personal guard, please speak to my marshal before the battle!"

After a while, I heard the sound of "De De De" horseshoes, and saw the corners of the "Brilliant Army" opening, and dozens of generals of the Liao Army surrounded Liaodong King Wang Hui and Murong and rushed out.

In front of the formation of the two armies, Qin Wenyuan sat on his horseback holding the "painting pole Fang Tianji" and stared at the Liao army.

Wang Hui, with a pair of hammers on his saddle, came out more and more, pointed at Qin Wenyuan and shouted loudly.

"You are Qin Wenyuan? What is the purpose of making the army occupy Wuli Valley?"

"My lord invites you! A certain family is Qin Wenyuan. Liaodong has been my territory of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times. You and the small clan don't know that Tianwei has occupied it for many years. Now it's time to return to the Tang Dynasty. Those who know how to hand it over The city, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will pass by, and no chickens or dogs will be left behind."

"Hahaha! Since you are such a child, you dare to threaten this king. If you return Wuligu, there is still a chance to make peace. Otherwise, don't blame this king for killing me."

"Really? Let's talk about it after the battle. At that time, the marshal hopes that you will still have such arrogance."

After the two finished speaking, they reined in their horses and went back to the camp.

In the early autumn, there was still a trace of hot wind, and the withered leaves were falling with the wind. The beautiful autumn scenery everywhere was really inconsistent with the chilling atmosphere of the two armies at this time.

When the drums sounded, the Liaodong Army wanted to strike first, but saw tens of thousands of infantry in the vanguard of the "Brilliant Army" rushing towards the Qin Army in a fan shape.

Just when the two armies were about to meet, the Qin army was also fighting with drums. Thousands of archers behind the shield soldiers fired crossbow arrows in unison, either directly or thrown. Arrows like wasps fell from the sky, ruthlessly harvesting the Liao army life.

The Liao army rushing to the corner of the Qin army was blocked by the shield soldiers of the Xu army. The spears in the shield soldiers' hands disappeared and killed the Liao army in front of them. In a short time, countless corpses were piled up in front of the Qin army's formation.

The first wave of the Liao army's attack resulted in countless casualties, but they were unable to break through the Qin army's formation, which was like being protected by a tortoise shell. As a last resort, the Liao army, which had lost its morale, began to disperse and retreat.

But seeing a red signal flare rising in the sky, the earth trembled and horseshoes sounded rapidly. On the left and right flanks, thousands of cavalry from the Xu army attacked and rushed into the retreating Liao army, causing chaos in the formation of the "Brilliant Army", how to resist it Live here like a wolf among sheep.

Wang Hui and Murong Chong, kings of Liao who were watching the battle on the tower, thought they had a plan to lure the enemy into the trap, so they made the drums louder again, and the "Guards" on the two wings were ordered to attack across the board, trying to kill Xu Jun. Thousands of cavalry.

The Qin army launched two red flares into the air, and the main cavalry of the Xu army hidden on the two wings swarmed in. In the whirlwind of horses, the cavalry on horseback used hand crossbows and sabers to shoot out, and everywhere they passed were stumps. Broken arm, screams everywhere.

When the cavalry charged, the infantry of the Qin army formed a formation and began to advance. Every long arrow shot by the sniper archers in the army would definitely kill the leader of the Liao army.

The soldiers of the Liao army who had lost their command formed their own formations and scattered like sand. How could they effectively resist the enemy? The poor nearly [-] troops were killed by [-] cavalry and [-] infantry of the Xu army.

Wang Hui has never seen an army as powerful as Qin's army. The [-] troops under his command were chased and slaughtered by tens of thousands of Qin troops.

This guy's eyes were tearing but he had no choice but to command the archers on the tower to kill the Qin army, but the Qin army was cunning, and the whole army was cruising outside the range of the tower defenders.

Hundreds of personal guards around Qin Wenyuan were all on guard with firearms. The snipers got Qin Wenyuan's military order to kill Liaodong Wang Hui and a group of Koryo generals in the city tower, and ordered only Murong Chong to be killed.

The snipers had to order each to attack, "Bang, bang, bang!" Amidst dozens of crisp gunshots, Wang Hui and many Korean generals had already lost their souls to the heavens. The sudden change made Murong Chong so frightened that he hurriedly hid his body in the tower Going to the hidden place, the defenders of the tower were also looking for shelter in a panic.

Wang Hui died before he fought Qin Wenyuan head-on, and the hero of the whole life died for no reason.

The panic of the defenders on the city tower caused the morale of the Liao army outside the city to be lost. Seeing that the Xu army was unstoppable, many generals of the "Brilliant Army" and the "Guardian Army" hurriedly withdrew their respective troops and retreated back to the city. close.

The Qin army and the Liao army won a complete victory in the first battle, and swung their troops to the place where the Liaodong city was within a stone's throw to form a formation.

After Wang Hui's death, Wang Qiang, the son who hastily succeeded to the throne, made the Liao army stick to the city at the suggestion of his mother and many officials loyal to Wang Hui in the Wang court. At the same time, he sent messengers to Korea and Suwei to seek support.

Murong Chong was able to escape from the dead, and Wang Tingli then made a plan to send messengers from the Liao Palace to pretend to negotiate peace with Xu Jun, trying to trick Xu Tian into the city to carry out a secret murder plan.

Queen Liao is a woman from a Taoist family, although she is ruthless but has no independent opinions, she heard Murong Chongzhi's policy say to her son.

"This palace thinks that Mr. Murong's plan is feasible. Wang'er can send a message to Xu Jun to tell Xu Tian to enter the city for peace talks, and put swords and axes in ambush around the palace. Mr. Murong will lead the masters of the palace to pretend to be officials of the palace and sneak into the palace. Gong threw the wine cup as a sign to kill the thief general Xu Tian, ​​so that the Xu army can retreat."
