Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1224
An Chonghui was captured alive, shocking the entire battlefield.

The Jin soldiers who went out of the city to pursue them were suddenly discouraged, and they had no intention of chasing and killing them. They rolled up their flags and retreated into the city. The battlefield was terribly quiet for a while.

After a long time, warm cheers erupted everywhere.

Li Cunxiao stood triumphantly on his horse, accepting the cheers of everyone.In the past, such cheers belonged only to Shao Sheng.

Ye Li Kecheng, the envoy of the right wing of the Longxiang Army, gave him a very displeased look.

He played childhood sweethearts with Princess Heyang, and he himself has a father-like admiration for the saint, so he can't see this guy being arrogant.

But the other warriors are very solid.

On the battlefield, there is one thing that can be recognized by both the enemy and the enemy, and that is bravery.

In history, Li Siyuan led tens of thousands of exhausted infantry who had walked hundreds of miles of mountain roads. Facing the Khitan "50 cavalry" who were arrayed on the plain, he took off his helmet and rushed in together with his adopted son Li Congke. In the enemy's formation, danced the mallet and fought hard, invincible, and then captured a team of commanders alive and returned.

This can greatly boost morale, and it has the power to turn decay into magic-the Jin army clamored up, and the Khitan was defeated.

But Yeli Kecheng was confident to stop Li Cunxiao's charge.

Zhu Jin, known as the No. [-] horseman in Henan, dared not fight against their big formation, Li Cunxiao, a wolf cub who is not familiar with it, you try?

"General Li is indeed very brave, and the battle of Zhuozhou ranks first." Ge Congzhou walked over with a smile and said.

Before the battle was over, it was said that Li Cunxiao's contribution was the first, but no one objected to this statement.

The fact is that he first wiped out more than [-] people from the Anyuan Department of the Jin reinforcements, and then broke into Yizhou, which greatly shook the will of the front-line enemy troops and forced the Yiwu Army to retreat. Zhuozhou lost troops and lost generals.Today, under the city, the enemy general An Zhonghui was captured alive, saving the lives of many defeated Xia soldiers.

After careful calculation, three achievements have been made.But who would have thought that just two months ago, he was besieged by the Jin army and the Yiwu army, beaten like a dog, and couldn't even leave the city.

Of course Ge Congzhou knew the reason, but it seemed that Li Cunxiao's mind was still a little unclear, or he was very clear, but his character flaws made him a little bit flustered, thinking that he had done a lot and others were just foils.

"Ge Shuai's words I love to hear." Li Cunxiao smiled and said, "An Fuqian will send someone to surrender his son. If he doesn't surrender, cut off the head of An Chonghui's son and give it to him. Watch him Will he vomit blood and die in anger?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression was different.

Is this Nima a human language?You killed his only successful son, and you still expect him to surrender?I'm afraid you don't use up your family wealth to reward all the troops, and then throw your wives and concubines to the sergeants to play with, and then kill them as army rations to boost morale, and fight you to the end?
An Zhonghui, who had just been tied up, glared at him even more, and at the same time was a little worried.

This was not the first time he had been captured. He had been captured once in Qizhou before, and both father and son were captured at the same time.He was released that time, will he be released this time?I'm afraid it's not that simple anymore.

"General Xiao'an, what do you think?" Ge Congzhou walked up to him and asked condescendingly.

An Zhonghui was a little ashamed and angry.

Want to beg for mercy, but feel ashamed, but if you don't beg for mercy, if you are really killed, then everything will be over.After thinking about it, I finally felt that face was more important than life, so I made up my mind not to speak.

Just die, if you beg for mercy at this time, even if you survive, it will be more uncomfortable than death--it is better to die than to be poked and poked for a lifetime.

Ge Congzhou seemed to be able to guess his inner thoughts, and said: "The young man is so strong! I have been fighting for many years, and I have seen some people sell their best friends to the enemy in order to survive, hoping to make meritorious service; Tubo enjoys it; some people, for the sake of wealth and honor, don't hesitate to call them slaves, and they have no shame. You--very good. Are you really ready to kill yourself?"

An Chonghui clenched his teeth, with a complicated look on his face, but he remained silent after all.

"It's a pity!" Ge Congzhou smiled and said, "You want to die, but you have no chance. Your grandfather doesn't want you to make such a cruel choice. Parents' beloved son, alas!"

An Zhonghui was startled when he heard this, and turned his head to look around, but there were many people around him, and he couldn't see anything.

But soon, a voice came from the wind: "The people of Jin have opened the city! An Fuqian has opened the city!"

Immediately there was a dense sound of war drums and the sound of horns, and a large group of soldiers stepped forward to guard against the Jin army rushing towards them.

The quietness in the north wind makes people feel flustered.

An Fuqian, the governor of Zhuozhou, led more than two thousand people out of the city, and stood still slowly.

The north wind howled, and the flags fluttered.An Fuqian, with gray temples, rode on the horse and stood there for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed and waved his hand.

A horse galloped out to the front of Xia's army, and said: "Shao Shengyuan mentioned the righteous brigade, Dioke's famous capital. Jieyin continued to vibrate, and the evil vines were all eliminated. The sinner An Fuqian deeply realized his past mistakes and sincerely dedicated the county. Begging saints Think about the living and the people, and protect the common people."

After the knight finished reading once, he read it aloud twice before returning to the formation.

Ge Congzhou also quickly received the news.

He wasn't surprised.There were not many soldiers in Zhuozhou, and the resistance was very hard. The morale of the whole army was low, and they were at a loss as to what would happen tomorrow.Now that his son was captured again before the battle, even if An Fuqian wanted to continue to resist, he really couldn't cheer up.In this case, it is better to drop.

Shao Sheng and Jin Wang Naiyi recognized brothers, they were not life and death enemies like Zhu Quanzhong, so it would be fine if they surrendered.

"Mr. An understands the righteousness deeply. The sage will be rewarded if he hears it." Ge Congzhou ordered to untie the rope from An Chonghui's body.

An Chonghui was still sitting on the ground, dejected, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, after receiving a clear signal, An Fuqian ordered the defenders to take off their armor and throw them on the ground together with the equipment.

Wang Qianyu, deputy envoy of the Longxiang Army, led people forward and drove more than [-] surrendered soldiers to one place, where they guarded them carefully.

Yan Bao, the envoy of soldiers and horses in the left wing, got the order and led two infantry commanders into the city to control the main points.

At this point, Fan Yangcheng fell into the hands of Xia Jun, and it took less than a month.

Li Cunxiao watched boredly from the side, and when he walked past An Zhongxuan, he chuckled lightly and said, "Your father and son have been captured twice."

An Zhonghui lowered his head and didn't say anything, but his clenched fists revealed his inner unease.

Li Cunxiao laughed out loud, and galloped his horse back into the formation of the Qingyi Army.

Ge Congzhou entered the city that afternoon.

Fanyang (now Zhuozhou) was placed in the first year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, and was once renamed Yongyang, Laishui, and Zhuo County, and its ownership between Yizhou and Youzhou was uncertain.After the establishment of Zhuozhou in the Dali period, it has always been the management of Zhuozhou.

This place can be said to be a very critical place in the south of Youzhou.If this place is lost, soldiers from Chengde, Yiding, and Hedong will flock to them.According to this place, the terrain can be used to keep the enemy out-no, Ge Congzhou immediately sent people to repair Qigou Pass.

Qigouguan is located between Laishui and Fanyang, where Cao Bin was defeated in history.

Guancheng has not been repaired for many years, it is already dilapidated, and there are no garrisons, and it is almost undefended. It really needs to be repaired and added.

In addition, he also asked An Fuqian to go out in person, saying that Guiyi, Xinchang, and Xincheng counties under the jurisdiction of Zhuozhou would come to surrender-Gu'an County, which had resisted the Tianxiong Army for a long time, had just been conquered.

In these counties, except for the Zhengzheng Road in Gu'an, there are a few generals, the rest of the troops are few and weak, and most of them are guarded by Tutuan villagers.With the help of An Fuqian, I believe that few people are willing to work hard for Hedong.

******
"Your Majesty, there is a good news from Zhuozhou. Ge Shuike returned to Fanyang and took over the counties." In the carriage, Shao Shude soon received the good news from the front.

Shao Shude stretched out his hand, and Chu Shenping respectfully handed it over.Along with the good news, there is also a letter from the supervising army.

After careful review, he roughly understood the process of this battle.

Ge Congzhou was relatively fair and did not embellish, but he also euphemistically pointed out that Li Cunxiao was unruly and unruly, not easy to control, and offended too many people, which was not conducive to the unity of the army.

Shao Shude smiled after seeing it.

After this guy was persuaded to surrender by the Liu family in history, Li Keyong wanted to protect him, so he waited for the generals to plead for him and pass the steps.What happened?No one pleaded for Li Cunxiao.

It goes without saying that Kang Junli, Li Cunxin and others who have a bad relationship with him will certainly not intercede, but what about the other "neutral factions"?They didn't even speak.

Whether Li Cunxiao will be a man can be seen from this.

"I hope he's smarter." General Shao Shude put the newspaper aside, thinking silently.

He is not the kind of person who has never seen a brave general. In fact, Shao Sheng himself is a member of the brave general—well, a little bit of exaggeration.

Since the hardships, there have been as many folk warriors as crucian carp crossing the river.

Is Zhu Jin brave?That's pretty brave.But against me, in the end even my wife let me sleep.

Sha Luqi is brave or not?That's pretty brave.He was so loyal that Lao Tzu sent him two beautiful palace servants.

Li Cunxiao, the eldest nephew, if he can restrain his madness, it's not that he can't use it.If he still continues to die, there is nothing to say, it is not easy to cut his job for the people, and if he fails, he will be ruined.

If it's a dragon, you coil up for me, if it's a tiger, you lie down for me.I don't have a stamp collecting habit, I only lick women, not famous generals.

After thinking about it, he picked up the military newspaper and looked at it again.

Ge Cong Zhou sent Ye Li Kecheng to lead his troops to guard Qigou Pass to stop the Jin army that might come next.Wang Qianyu was also left to guard Zhuozhou to prevent the Yiwu army from coming back.He himself took the main force of the Longxiang Army and the Xiaojie Army to Youzhou—in fact, it was only 120 miles away, passing through Liangxiang County.

This is the rush to pick the sweetest fruit.

For the first time since Ge Congzhou presided over the Northern Expedition, Shao Shude felt his emotional fluctuations from the formation of troops.

Yes, veterans in the battlefield can judge many things through some details.

"Decree——" Shao Shude tapped his fingers, and said, "Go straight to Youzhou without stopping. It was also assigned to the Qizhou camp, and Zhao Wang Siwu was appointed as the deputy commander of the camp. In addition, let An Fuqian and his son come to have an audience."

"Observe the order." Chu Shenping responded.

The messenger rushed out to Zhuozhou and Youzhou to deliver the order.
