Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 949
Li Zhengbao was a little apprehensive.

Counting from the former Sui period, I have been following the Liang division for almost 20 years, from a small army leader to now a general of the Twelve Guards... Uh, although this official position belongs to Liang Guo.

After all, after such a long time, even raising a dog has feelings, unless it is specialized in selling dog meat.

But how long can Master Liang last?
Li Zhengbao didn't know, but he knew that Master Liang would definitely not be able to hold on. The King of Handan had already said everything to death. Instead of being captured or even beheaded by then, it would be better to have a better future now.

What is Xin Liaoer doing now?

Li Zhengbao suddenly remembered this colleague who was captured together. After being released, he stayed in Guyuan, and Xin Liaoer went north to Lingzhou. He didn't know how he would choose.

"Brother." The clan brother who acted as a personal guard pushed the door in, with a happy face on his face, "The Tang army has captured Nanguan Town."

"So fast?" Li Zhengbao suddenly got up, "Liu Heier didn't stop him for a day?"

Li Zhengbao was a little surprised. Liu Heier had already defeated the incoming Tang army several times by relying on his terrain and bravery. He did not expect the Tang army to take Nanguan Town quickly. In fact, he blocked the passage between Nanguan Town and that city to ensure the battle report. It will not be passed quickly to the hands of Suo Zhou in the rear, and he is ready to attack back and forth at the critical moment to capture and kill Liu Hei'er.

Unexpectedly, Liu Heier was defeated so quickly.

"The military report has come. It is said that the King of Handan has used the Modao Squad... Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry have been killed. How can Liu Heier resist!"

"died?"

"Captured." The guard whispered: "According to the time, the troops in Honghe Town and Pingfeng Town should have arrived today..."

Before the words were finished, there was a report from outside that [-] soldiers dispatched from Honghe Town had arrived at the military camp outside the city.

"It came so fast." Li Zhengbao was a little excited.

In fact, Li Zhengbao could only control more than a thousand of the city's [-]-odd army at most. It would be impossible to surrender the city, otherwise he would just take the city and Nanguan town down.

But Li Zhengbao didn't need to do too much, he just needed to open the city gate and let the Tang army come in. He believed that with the combat power of the Tang army's infantry, he could control the lineage by himself, and the remaining nearly two thousand soldiers would hardly be able to resist the Tang army's attack. It was after Liu Heier was defeated and captured so quickly.

Li Zhengbao calculated silently in his heart, Honghe town dispatched [-] troops, and Pingfeng town dispatched [-] troops. The two towns are already empty, and the Tang army can take them without paying a big price. When the Tang army arrives tomorrow, they will be able to completely control the area of ​​the city. Even if Suo Zhou knew, there was nothing he could do.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Zhengbao left the city with dozens of personal guards, and easily stepped into the barracks. This was the place where he felt most at ease. They were all his direct descendants, led by his cousin Li Feng.

"Brother."

"Is it all arranged?"

"Yes." Li Feng turned around and stood beside Li Zhengbao, "How about Nanguan Town?"

"Liu Hei'er has been captured, and the Tang army has captured Nanguan Town." Li Zhengbao looked around, "Let's talk in your tent."

Li Feng's face changed slightly, he gritted his teeth and followed, "Tang Jun came so fast."

"It's not fast, but when we arrived outside Nanguan Town today, we defeated the enemy and broke through the pass. It's really fast." Li Zhengbao walked into the big tent and said with a smile: "The king of Handan is here, and there are many heroes under his command. How about the Tang army?" Can you fight bravely to be the first?"

As soon as the words were finished, someone in the tent suddenly laughed and said, "If Liu Heier hadn't been cut off from the rear, how could the Tang army capture him with Liu Heier's bravery!"

Li Zhengbao, who had only lifted the door curtain half way, changed his face drastically, and before he could move, Li Feng's shoulder slammed into him, forcing Li Zhengbao into the big tent.

After a few staggering steps, Li Zhengbao, who was lying on the ground, was trembling at last, gritted his teeth and raised his head slightly. Sitting on the main seat was a tall man with beards reaching to his temples.

"Suo Zhou..."

"Li Zhengbao." Suo Zhou sneered a few times, got up and took a few steps, and lifted Li Zhengbao to the side with one foot, "It's pretty cute, and I took the initiative to deliver it to my door."

Li Zhengbao, who was lying on his back, looked at Li Feng desperately, but immediately realized, "Huangfu Li... no, no, it's..."

"Xin Liao'er told everything the day he was released." Suo Zhou was a little bit unsatisfied, "But you didn't say a word."

At this moment, Li Zhengbao thought of many things, such as why the Handan King summoned himself and Xin Liaoer at the same time, such as why Huangfu Li agreed so readily...

Suo Zhou, who had just arrived, sat down slowly and raised his eyebrows at Li Feng, "How strong is the Tang army?"

"About [-]." Li Feng replied blankly: "The former army has broken through Nanguan Town, and Liu Heier was captured alive. It is said... It is said that the King of Handan is here."

Suo Zhou's eyes fell on Li Zhengbao's face, "The King of Handan really came to the front line?"

Li Zhengbao was stunned, and suddenly jumped up, ignoring the sharp knives pulled out by the surrounding guards, and knelt down at Suo Zhou's feet, "I am willing to serve your Majesty, and I am willing to serve King Xia..."

Suo Zhou laughed loudly, "You are so cute!"

As early as the first time they were released, because of Xin Liaoer's secret report, Liang Luoren and Suo Zhou had already become suspicious of themselves, and Suo Zhou probably came here in the name of the [-] soldiers who came to aid from Honghe Town. Obviously that Huangfu Li had already informed him, and it was impossible for Li Feng to be recovered by Suo Zhou just now.

He has been attracting and not saying anything, and Suo Zhou paid so much attention to the Handan King... Li Zhengbao immediately thought of the key point, Liang Luoren intended to lure the enemy to go deep and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and even hoped to kill the Handan King of the Tang Dynasty who defeated the Turks two months ago.

In the final analysis, whether Li Zhengbao rebelled or not, it all came from the desire to live and the desire to continue the family. Now that the butcher's knife is hanging on his neck, is there any other choice?
"You originally wanted to open the city gate to let the Tang army enter the city." Suo Zhou pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's too risky. Once the Tang army seizes the city gate, they will fight to the death without retreating, and the follow-up troops will continue to flow..."

The corners of Li Zhengbao's mouth twitched, Huangfu Li and Li Feng revealed all their plans, Suo Zhou actually knew such details.

"It's more than twenty miles from Nanguan Town to the city." Suo Zhou obviously had already made a plan, "There is a valley more than ten miles east of the city..."

Li Zhengbao hurriedly said, "Luojiatuo."

"That's right, that's Luojiatuo." Suo Zhou was very satisfied.

"The road here is quite wide, which can accommodate a large army, but there are a large number of dense forests on the south side, and mountains on the north side." Li Zhengbao's face was gray, "Not far from the west side, the road becomes narrow and the terrain is dangerous. Set up an ambush here, and then use the ambush to attack the Tang army's flank from the north..."

"Hahaha, that's exactly the case!" Suo Zhou laughed and said, "Once the Tang army breaks up and chases after them, let Li Huairen have a taste of it too!"

Li Zhengbao, who had no other choice, gritted his teeth and kowtowed, but felt inexplicably sad in his heart, no matter whether he won or lost in this battle, he couldn't please himself.

If he loses, it's okay to say that at most he was beheaded by Master Liang, and the family should not be implicated too much... After all, cousin Li Feng sold himself.

But if he wins, no matter whether he captures or kills the Handan king, the Liang army will lose in the future... I am afraid that I and the whole family will be punished by the clan. Li Zhengbao stayed in the Tang army prison camp for two months. General, I know very well the weight of the King of Handan in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention other people, that Princess Pingyang and Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang will definitely not let me go.

As for Liang Shidu sweeping Guanzhong and competing with the Tang Dynasty... Li Zhengbao has long since lost such extravagant hopes.
