Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 848 Encounter!Crossbow arrows!
Zhe Congruan heard the words of the general who responded to him, pondered for a while, and spoke calmly.

"May the majority be stationed in Hexi to wait for the order of the father, and the rest will sneak into the city of Chang'an with me to inquire about the elder brother. If my guess is correct, the elder brother must have fallen into the hands of King Qi."

"Young master can't, so-called; a gentleman doesn't stand on a dangerous wall, he should act according to the will of the general!"

"It's okay! I don't have to worry about it, so I don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that the second son would not be moved, the leading general of the nearby family had no choice but to lead most of the soldiers to go.

Zhe Congruan had his own plan. After most of the Zhe family's soldiers left, he changed into plain clothes, so that the few veterans and dozens of guards left behind had a little disguise, like a rich family visiting relatives and friends. The young master followed, and then went to the city of Chang'an.

Arriving in Chang'an City, Mr. Zheer rented the second courtyard in the west wing of the "Yingbinlou" inn near the "East City" in the city. Compared with the bustle of this place, there is the cunning of "big hermit in the city".

Although the current situation of this Zhe family is not as glorious as in the past, it is still a big family hidden in the world.

But it turned out that the Zhe family was born in the Dangxiang clan, one part of which was a minority ethnic group in Northeast China under Xu Tian's rule, and one part had surrendered to the imperial court as early as the early Tang Dynasty.

The Zhe family, who belonged to the Tang Dynasty, practiced martial arts for generations. They can be called the family of generals, and together with the Luo family army, they are the great army of the Tang Dynasty stationed on the frontier, but they are outside the core power of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the Zhe family army was stationed in the "Fuzhou" city, and the head of the family Zhe Chong was unstoppable and brave, but he was arrogant and did not take the heroes of the world seriously, but this old general who was overconfident and Xie Hong They were inseparable, and hated Qin Wenyuan for not leaving Xie Hong's body in the martial arts competition in the school field, which caused Zhejia Erlang to participate in the assassination of Xu Tian, ​​which caused a huge change in the Zhejia, and was finally replaced by the Zhejia attached to Qin Wenyuan's Northeast forces. The Song Dynasty was as famous as the generals of the Yang family.

Zhechong received an emergency report from the Dudu Mansion in the "Fuzhou" that the eldest son was missing, suspected to be Qin Wenyuan, the Luo family's "Eighteen Horseman of Yanyun" was beheaded, and the eldest princess Tong'an and Xiao Yu were demoted. In the midst of this, the old ghost panicked and moved the army. He wanted to go to "Youzhou" and put pressure on Xu's army to force Xu Tian to hand over his eldest son.

The scouts under Ma San's command detected the information of the change of the Zhejia army and quickly sent it to the governor's yamen of "Songmo". Yun Tian and other military and political officials discussed countermeasures in time.

According to the situation of the Zhejia army reported by Ma San, Sima Yuntian quickly dispatched Wu Ping's troops and mobilized generals such as Kili Sugu, Shangfei, and Su Jinwu to the front line of "Songmo" and "Raole", so that Xujia, Khitan, and Turkic troops could All the cavalry formed a pocket formation, ready to annihilate the enemy who dared to invade.

Qin Wenyuan received the report of the Zhejia army's change in Chang'an City, and secretly laughed at the Zhejia's ignorance of current affairs. He ordered Northeast Sima Yuntian and others to act according to the situation on the battlefield without asking for instructions.

At that time, the change of the Zhejun army also attracted the attention of the defenders stationed in "Youzhou" and the attention of the court's investigative cavalry department, and several memorials were urgently reported to the court.

Li Shimin received the report and ordered the princes Li Zhi, Qin Wenyuan and Li Jing to meet him in the Ganlu Palace.

After the three paid their respects to the emperor, Qin Wenyuan dismissed Li Shimin's talk about breaking the family.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. What the family has done, wants to implement a strategy of defeating others without fighting. He thinks he can achieve his goal, but he sees the boy's army in the Northeast as ordinary. It will definitely not be good for him to go. , if the leader of the Zhe family doesn't know the current affairs, the boy will discipline him whether he comes or goes."

Listening to Qin Wenyuan's understated tone, Li Shimin was already sure that the Zhejia army's move in the direction of "Youzhou" this time, not to mention not asking for it, there may be a danger of losing troops and losing generals. How does the old emperor see the Tang army killing each other? Two decrees were issued to make the defenders of "Youzhou" intercept the Zhejia army and pass on the decree to make them go back and forth.

In the hall, Li Shimin said to Qin Wenyuan again.

"Boy; Hugh makes the army fight fiercely with Zhejia, just tap it!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Qin family's army will not take the initiative to provoke the Zhe family. If the Zhe family is ignorant of current affairs, no wonder the boy wants to teach this self-righteous and self-righteous chaotic army a lesson."

After Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Jing played beside him.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the Zhe family's move was due to the disappearance of their son Zhe Zongben, and the army moved to the northeast. It was undoubtedly believed that his son had fallen into Xu Tian's hands, and he wanted to force the Xu army to save his son. The purpose, alas! Zhechong is also considered a famous general in the world. He must have been so confused because of his son's affairs this time. He has violated the taboo of leading the army. I hope this old man will listen to the advice of the Youzhou Army and not make the situation worse. "

Li Shimin talked with Qin Wenyuan and Li Jing about breaking up the family in the "Manna Palace", but Prince Li Zhi just listened and learned how to deal with sudden crises.

Just at the time when they were so lukewarm, and ordered the fast horse to convey "Youzhou" Wei Xiaojie to block the upcoming events, thousands of Qingqi from the Zhejia army had already been led by Xue Rengui at the Gubeikou pass of "Youzhou" The armies meet.

Zhe Lixing, the leading general of the Zhe family, is a veteran in the army. He has always acted cautiously. Facing the formation of the "Youzhou" army guarding the pass, he confronted Xue Rengui in front of the pass, and saluted on horseback.

"General Xue has invited you. Zhe and others want to go to Songmo City to experience the strength of the Qin army through the pass under the Gubeikou pass. I would like to ask the general for your convenience. The Zhe family is very grateful."

Xue Rengui couldn't understand the meaning of the old general's words. The so-called benefits of seeing the Qin army were just an excuse. The real purpose was clearly to harass the Qin army in the direction of "Songmo" or "Raole" city. Qin Wenyuan was related to the assassination of "Chang'an City", but why the Zhe family was like this is beyond what this guy can think of.

Seeing that Zhejia Qingqi is an elite soldier, Xue Rengui thought to himself; as long as this Zhejia army does not enter the city of "Youzhou", it is nothing to use "Gubeikou" as a way. What does it have to do with Xue Mou when a big event happens, I wish this Zhejia could suppress the domineering Qin Jun.

"Haha! The old general is not allowed to lead the army into Youzhou City without a will. This is Xue's responsibility. As for going to other places through the road controlled outside this pass but not under the jurisdiction of a certain family, the old general can do it himself. Hugh Harassing the defenders of Youzhou, embarrassing a certain family."

Zhe Lixing was overjoyed when he heard the words. After thanking Xue Rengui, he sent his army across the "Gubeikou" pass and disappeared into the mountains.

Not long after Xue Rengui let go of the Zhejia army, the imperial court sent an order to prevent the Zhejia army from going northeast.

When the decree officer heard the news, he urgently ordered Xue Rengui to open the pass and sent dozens of soldiers to accompany him to lead the way to chase the Zhejia army to deliver the emperor's order.

After Zheli Xing led his army across the avenue controlled by "Gubeikou", he sent thousands of light cavalry to gallop across the mountains and fields, and when they arrived at an open place not far from the jurisdiction of "Songmo", Zheli led his army to form a formation and stand on a high place. Staring at the outpost set up by Xu Jun here, he saw that there were only a hundred sergeants in the outpost. They found a large number of cavalry from the Zhe family without the slightest sign of fear, and they were still patrolling the army camp leisurely with weapons.

These phenomena made Zhe Lixing a little suspicious of the ambush plan and stopped the army.

This guy observed the surrounding terrain, and as expected, he suddenly felt a dangerous evil spirit in the forest on the edge of the wide terrain. He didn't dare to speak out for fear of affecting the morale of his own army, and quietly sent the military orders to the several generals around him, hoping to make the army retreat to a safe place as soon as possible.

Just when this guy was mobilizing the army quietly, he suddenly heard several cannons, but he saw three groups of cavalry rushing out from the forest. It is afraid that there will not be [-] people forming a siege to the family army.

Several generals of the Qin family army held their weapons to show off their might, and they all shouted loudly in front of their respective troops.

"Anyone who violates my territory must let one person go, and anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

Hearing the general's military order, Qin's son Lang complied abruptly, holding his crossbows horizontally on his horses, pointing at the Zhe family's sergeants and controlling the horses to press on at every step.

When Zhe Lixing first saw the might of Qin's army, he knew that the rumors were true, so he reined in his horse and shouted at Xu Jun before the formation.

"A certain is Zhejia's army leader Zhe Lixing, please ask Xu army leader to speak."

Hearing this, Wu Ping rode forward with a red cherry spear in his hand, and scolded loudly with a solemn face.

"What do you want to do with the thousands of troops in the Songmo? Since you are here, then stay!"

Zhe Lixing was aroused by Wu Ping's threatening words, thinking that Zhejia's army is an army of hundreds of battles outside the Great Wall that intimidates the enemy. When did they suffer such humiliation? The family's spirit has fallen.

This guy really doesn't know how to judge the situation, but he speaks arrogantly.

"A certain class is the Tang army, and they will naturally reach the Tang state. When do you have to abide by the Qin family's regulations? If you want to rebel and occupy this place, aren't you afraid that the court will hold them accountable?"

"The thief will not be ashamed to speak so loudly. Since you are the Tang army, you have an imperial decree to enter the northeast and take a look at a certain house. Otherwise, you will not be able to come and go today."

"Wow! The old man is so angry, watch the old man behead your thief and dog's head."

Zhe Lixing was so angry that he rode his horse in a rage and attacked Wu Ping with the three-pointed spear in his hand.

Wu Ping saw that this fellow was approaching fiercely, swung his spear on his horseback and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

Even when the spears were engaged with the opponent, the two generals in front of the army who used the spears all stabbed straight with the spears in their hands and started a fierce battle.

Seeing the main general attacking the Qin army, the horn in the army blew, and the sound of "rumbling" horseshoes shook the ground, but the Zhejia Qingqi was in a formation to break out of the encirclement, wanting to rush out of the encirclement of the Xu army, and scattered to charge without panic The formation shows that the Zhejia army is not afraid of powerful enemies.

It's a pity that what the Zhejia army encountered today was the cavalry of the Qin family who were good at long-range attacks. The horses stood in the way.

Seeing that Paoze died under the crossbow arrows of the Qin army, the Zhejia army became united with the enemy, and gave up their desire to break out of the siege and fight the Qin army to the death. One's own Qingqi suffered heavy casualties from the enemy during the attack.

Such a tragic battle, unexpectedly started rashly between the two main generals, but this is the ending that no one could have imagined...

Wu Ping and Zhe Li went to fight each other with guns and guns. Don't look at the Zhe family's veteran, who is already too old, but he shot fiercely. After fighting for a long time, Wu Ping was a bit embarrassed by this fight, and gradually fell into the wind.

Kilisu Gu and Su Jinkai saw that Wu Ping was defeated by the opponent, and ordered the left and right lieutenants to continue besieging and killing the Zhejia army. The two of them raised their weapons and joined Wu Ping and the veteran Zhejia's battle group.

Zhe Lixing was not afraid at all, a three-pointed spear made people appear and disappear, but seeing that the spear in the old ghost's hand was aimed at north, east and west, he was not at a disadvantage.

Wu Ping and the three of them had a tacit understanding during the battle, they all planned to exhaust this veteran's physical strength, so that after you fight, I will join the wheel, and the four horses will form a circle on the battlefield. The knights fought inextricably.

After a while, just as Wu Ping expected, Zhe Lixing was exhausted. Seeing that the thousands of Zhe troops under his command had already been encircled by Xu's army, his escape was wishful thinking. The unwilling heart shouted loudly on the horseback.

"Let's stop fighting, Zhemou has something to say!"

Wu Ping saw that the initiative on the battlefield was in his hands, and he was not afraid of the old general's delaying tactics, thinking that in the face of strength, any strategy would be futile, so he stopped the battle and still used the momentum of three sides to encircle Zhelixing.

Wu Ping said.

"The old general has seen the situation clearly and is willing to make the army surrender!"

"Hey! I see that your cavalry of the Qin family has a way of advancing and retreating. I think it is an elite army. However, if you beat the old man by relying on military strength, it is not considered capable. If you and I have equal strength, the old man can kill you. Now the situation , the old man can't bear the unnecessary sacrifices of his subordinates, and it is okay to surrender but not be insulted. If you agree, the old man should make his subordinates hand over their weapons, otherwise, even if they die together, I will not hesitate."

"Old general, don't worry, the Zhejia army is the real strong army we have seen, and we should treat each other with courtesy."

Hearing that Wu Ping agreed, Zhe Lixing dropped the spear in his hand and sat on the back of a horse to be guarded by Xu Jun.

Wu Ping immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

When Zhejiaerlang saw that his general was captured, he immediately broke the morale of the army, and then heard the general shout loudly on his horseback.

"Surrender! Stop making unnecessary sacrifices."

Many lieutenants under Zhe Lixing's command saw that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable to their own side, and they already understood what the commander meant, they couldn't hide their grief and indignation, they dropped their weapons one after another, got off their horses and stood upright.

Wu Pingping admired the heroes of Zhelixing, treated them with courtesy, surrounded them in front of the army, and never regarded them as prisoners.

Just when the army was reorganizing and about to go, a court official rushed to see the bloody scene after the war and called out.

"It's a crime for someone to come late and make the army kill each other!"

This fellow held back his grief, thinking that the Holy Majesty's order would be useless at that time, so he sent the sergeant to report to Chang'an City about the fighting situation between the two armies, and said to Wu Ping.

"General Wu! Can the prisoners of the Zhe family be dealt with after the emperor discusses with King Qi?"

Wu Ping spoke respectfully.

"My lord said exactly what we meant. We should treat the sergeants of the Zhe family well, and wait for the military order from a certain prince."
