Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Yuanzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction. A few months ago, Jingzhou regained Baiquan County in the First World War, and then Li Shan sent Zhang Shigui to recover Pingliang County.

Guo Xiaoke firmly guarded Zhisheng Pass, Longshan Pass, and Liupan Pass. After the Turks fled to the north and Liang Jun retreated to garrison Guyuan County, Longzhou Prefecture soldiers went west and successfully recovered Jingning County.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, after the Tang army besieged Guyuan County, they attacked in all directions. The news of Xiaoguan's fall was spread everywhere, and the defenders except Guyuan County surrendered one after another.

The Shimen Pass and Yizang Pass occupied by Liang Jun have also been surrendered, and all the seven passes of Yuanzhou have been recovered.

In other words, apart from Guyuan County, which was trapped to death, only Tongxin County remained in Yuanzhou... and Tongxin County has remained calm so far because it is located in Yuanzhou and Lingzhou. At the border, north of Xiaoguan.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Tongxin County.

Nv Liu, who was over fifty years old, was sitting on a stool, bent over and beating her sore knees, looking at the snowstorm outside, she was quite worried, moving from West Turkic to the east, and then south Attached to Liang Shidu, all the way to enter the inner road of Datang Pass, was forced by the wind and snow.

In the several wars last year, although the Turks were expelled by the Handan King of the Tang Dynasty, they transported a large amount of grain and grass back to the grassland, and most of the rest were occupied by Liang Shidu, so that Jihu and many other tribes had to rely on them.

For this reason, Liu Nv Nicheng had to send her nephew Liu Heier to Liang Junzhong. Just a few years ago, in order to get more food and grass for the winter, another nephew Liu Zhao had to lead his troops to Guyuan when it was snowing heavily. .

Just as she was thinking about it, someone yelled outside, and Nv Liu was surprised to see her nephew Liu Zhao suddenly appearing at the door, "You're back so soon?"

Liu Zhao didn't say a word, her gaze was vacillating, Liu Nv frowned and was about to ask questions, when the sound of footsteps outside came one after another, the leaders of the tribe and the generals sent by Master Liang appeared one after another.

Liu Nv Nicheng became alert. Although she didn't know what happened, she seemed to be unable to control the situation. Just when he was about to speak, the last person finally arrived.

Tongxin County Magistrate Liang Luoyi, the cousin of Liang Shidu, and the concubine brother of Liang Luoren.

"Are you back?" Liang Luoyi looked at Liu Zhao, "How was the battle in Guyuan?"

On the side, there was a general of Liang Jun who said with a smile: "I received a letter from Feng Duan a few years ago. It is said that the Tang army stationed in the east of the city was trapped by wind and snow."

The chattering voices basically all came from Liang Guo officials and Liang Jun generals, and Ji Hu's leader had dispersed at some point, and surrounded him vaguely.

Liu Nucheng's face turned slightly pale, and at that moment, he saw a familiar figure quietly appearing at the edge of the crowd.

At that moment, Liu Zhao nodded and said, "All are here."

In Liu Nv's hidden sight, the majestic figure pulled out the long knife stuck on the mount, and rushed into the crowd, the sharp blade easily cut Liang Luoyi's throat.

There was such a moment of stagnation in the arena, it seemed that the slightest sound could be heard, a large stream of blood spurted out from the wound, Liang Luoyi's body wobbled before falling down, and the surrounding Jihu people seemed to be When he came back to his senses, he raised his sword and gun at the same time, and began to slash and kill wantonly.

Liu Heier came striding forward with a bloody long knife in his hand, kicked over a Liang official, and threw the long knife through the chest of a Liang general before saluting, "Uncle."

"Ahei, this... this..."

"Uncle, let's descend to the Tang Dynasty." Liu Heier was not asking for opinions, but was declaring a fact. Not only the civil and military officials of Liang State present, but also hundreds of Liang troops among the [-] cavalry stationed in Tongxin County. At this moment, the massacre has already begun.

Liu Heier knew very well that his uncle Liu Nv had hidden temperament, indecisiveness, soft temper, fear of the Turks, lack of clothing and food, so she always respected Master Liang, and Liu Zhao and herself trying to persuade him might not have any effect...Maybe Liu Hei'er Nv Nicheng still wants to wait and see.

Therefore, Liu Heier didn't talk nonsense at all. After arriving in Tongxin County with Liu Zhao, he simply summoned all the civil and military officials of Liang Guo's lineage with his fingers, and killed them all... Liu Nv hid and returned Can there be other options?
Listening to the two nephews recounting the battle from beginning to end, Liu Nv hid her expression from anger to fear. In just a few days, Wonju has changed drastically.

Swallowing her saliva, Liu Nv asked quietly, "Is it true that the Prince of Handan came to Xiaoguan?"

"Really, on the night of New Year's Eve, I broke through the gate against the wind and snow." Liu Zhao said, "Your Highness even ordered your elder brother to lead the guards around you, so brave..."

"Then the city, Yizang Pass, and Shimen Pass are all gone?"

"Brother beheaded Suo Zhou, and sent Feng Duan's head to Shimen Pass, why not surrender?" Liu Zhao looked around, all the people had been killed, and asked a clansman to ask how the war outside was going, so that no one would slip through the net. If the news leaked, although the news of the fall of Xiaoguan could not be concealed forever, how long it can be blocked will determine the future treatment of the Jihu clan.

Liu Nv stared blankly at the corpses and blood stains all over the floor, and twitched her lips, "Then I..."

"Xu Jihu Neifu, settle in Lingzhou, Huizhou or Liangzhou, other places are also acceptable, Xu Hushi, Xu build a house." Liu Heier interrupted: "Uncle can lead the clan, and enter the court as an official. Can."

Liu Nv Nicheng sighed, "The conditions are good, but the next battle..."

"Since we belong to the Tang Dynasty, we naturally have to make contributions. Is it true that there are two ends?" Liu Zhao said in surprise: "So many people have died, Suo Zhou, Feng Duan, Liang Luoyi, even if Guyuan County has not been captured, but Liang Luoren must Doomed."

"Uncle is worried that the King of Handan wants to take Jihu as the vanguard." Liu Heier said sincerely: "But Xiaoguan is lost, Tang Qi is elite, even if uncle is still attached to Liang Shidu, does he still have the ability to return to heaven? "

Liu Nv Nicheng suddenly realized, and asserted: "Definitely not. In the battle of Jingzhou, the elite of Tang cavalry is famous all over the world. At least four months before, the Turks will never go south. Even if Liang Shidu is not destroyed, it will definitely be defeated!"

This is the simplest truth, no matter what you face in the future, you must at least stand on the side of the winner, not the side of the loser, not to mention that the two nephews have already won enough good conditions for Jihu.

After thinking for a while, Liu Nv Nicheng ordered: "Azhao stays in charge of the army, and I will go with Ahei to Xiaoguan to meet the King of Handan."

A group of more than a hundred cavalry left Tongxin County and headed south. The massacre outside the city had ended, and hundreds of Liang soldiers were killed without any suspense. hunt down.
