Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 436 The good news flew into the Shence Palace

Did Li Xiaochang fail?

He couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Du Caigan like a fool, "You are really stupid, how could you succeed in trying to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers? Not to mention Li Xiaochang, even if the Turks go south, they are not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty.

Gambling is bound to lose. In the past, you and I ate in the same pot in Wagang, and fought with Li Mi on the battlefield. Don’t you know why Li Mi lost?

When Wagang was strong, it shocked the Central Plains.However, as long as Wagang is defeated, there will be no chance of recovery.Today, if you raise troops in Huazhou, you will be able to survive. I Cheng Yaojin, but in Guanzhong, the hundreds of thousands of troops under His Royal Highness the King of Chu are standing by, how do you resist?
I'm not afraid to tell you, you, Li Xiaochang, and Changsun Anye, His Highness already knew about your rebellion.

It has been four or five days since you started your army, but there is no news from Weizhou, aren't you surprised? "

"What do you mean?" Du Caigan was sweating coldly on his forehead, and it was only at this moment that he realized that he seemed to be thinking too naively.

Cheng Yaojin did not explain to him, but said: "If you are willing to surrender now, I will plead with His Highness for you, and I may not let you go, but your family will not be in danger of life.

I heard you have a son.

You don't want to either, he and your wife will be confiscated into the court in the future. "

"Shut up!" Du Caiqian was furious, "Don't deceive people with your gossip here, I don't believe it!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at him sympathetically, and said: "I'm giving you the last chance. You didn't grasp it. If you die, I will offer you a glass of wine. It's all the love you and I shared in Wagang back then. .”

After saying that, Cheng Yaojin turned his horse's head, and his figure disappeared into Du Caigan's eyes.

At this moment, horns sounded in a hurry, and scouts came from the east.

"Captain, the big thing is not good. The Tang army is crossing the river in Liyang and heading for the white horse!"

boom!
Weizhou has an accident!
Du Caigan's face was pale.

Under the White Horse City.

Su Lie looked at this big city by the river, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Report, the rebels are approaching the white horse."

Su Lie asked: "How many times did the ferry boats burn down?"

"General Qi, all of them have been burned."

Su Lie nodded, "Okay, let's retreat!"

"As ordered!"

Seven hundred people huffed and disappeared into the sky.

Although Su Lie had the idea of ​​surprise attacking Du Caiqian's rebels, he held back his urge to take risks considering that there was no room for loss in suppressing the rebellion.

After Du Caiqian returned to Baima, he discovered that Tang Jun's partial division had disappeared.

"What about people!"

"Report to the governor, the ferry is on fire, and all the ships have been burned."

Hearing this, Du Caiqian fell to the bottom of his heart.He finally understood the reason why Cheng Yaojin won two victories in Suanzao but did not attack himself.

They want to trap themselves!
At this moment, several scouts returned.

"Colonel, something is wrong, Li Junxian, the general manager of Xuzhou, has led his army into Puyang!"

"Kuangcheng is lost, Huang Junhan is approaching our army!"

Hearing this, Du Caigan felt dizzy for a while.

Encircled and suppressed on three sides, backed by a big river, and without ships, the opponent's strength was several times that of his own.

It's the end of the mountain!

With this in mind, Du Caicai fell headfirst from the horse.

"The Governor!"

"Captain."

Lizhou, Sanquan.

People are afraid of dangerous roads, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who fought in the South and North were not afraid.

Chai Shao marched all the way, and met the rebels at Sanquan last night. The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and finally Chai Shao captured Sanquan and trapped the rebels in Lizhou.

"This is Yuan Hongshan who took Chang'an with wild words, Li Zier."

On the top of the wall, Chai Shao threw Yuan Hongshan's head on the ground.

Du Ruhui glanced at him, stroked his beard and said, "General Chai is really brave."

"Don't dare, our army would not be able to march day and night without Mr. transferring food and grass immediately. It's all thanks to His Royal Highness and Mister's strategizing."

"Ha ha."

Du Ruhui smiled, and looked at Chai Shao with a tacit understanding.

"Where are the rebels now?"

"It has returned to Watani."

Du Ruhui squinted his eyes and said: "The mountain road is steep, and food is transported day and night, so I have to guard against ambushes. I want to go down the river on a raft, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Miangu, what does the general think?"

Chai Shao thought about it: "This river has different widths and narrows. If we use skin rafts, there may be a lot of them."

"It doesn't matter, there are many mountains and forests, but we can use local materials. When Xiahou Duan's troops enter Lizhou, our army is almost ready. At that time, we will attack back and forth. Before July, the rebels will be defeated."

Chai Shaodao: "Since this is the case, I dare not obey orders. However, what arrangement does His Highness have for Li Xiaochang?"

Du Ruhui chuckled, looking at the sky.

The mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the flying geese are gliding.

"Start from Lizhou and end from Lizhou, regardless of life or death."

"understand!"

Waatani.

Li Xiaochang is wearing armor, his whole person is no longer heroic and vigorous.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court appeared too timely, so that he was sure that his plan to raise troops had already been known by the imperial court in advance.

Otherwise, why would Chai Shao come from Qizhou so quickly to capture Sanquan.

"Any news about Huazhou and Weizhou?"

"Report to the governor, not yet."

Li Xiaochang slammed his fist on the desk, his face was gloomy and ugly.He raised his troops and fought by surprise. He went out of Sanquan, entered Hanzhong, and went straight into Guanzhong through the praise ramp.

But the first step was blocked by Chai Shao's soldiers.

How will we fight after this?
At this moment, the scouts came to report.

"Captain, Xia Houduan, governor of Zizhou, led the army to enter Jianmen!"

"What!" Li Xiaochang's eyes were wide open, he couldn't hold his breath, his blood surged, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Xia Houduan, he is not in Zizhou, how could he appear in Jianmen?"

Before he fell into a coma, Li Xiaochang realized that the imperial court probably had already prepared for his own revolt this time.

In the land of Lizhou, the terrain is rugged, and the message delivery is a little slower.

In comparison, the news from Huazhou reached Li Zhiyun one step faster.

Huang Junhan, Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian, the three armies have surrounded the white horse, and they will take Du Caiqian's head soon.

Putting down the letter, Li Zhiyun felt a little melancholy.

There are fools every year, especially this year.He still couldn't figure it out, whether it was Li Xiaochang or Du Caigan, where did they get the confidence to resist the soldiers of the whole country with the narrow area of ​​a state.

Retarded?
One after the other, Li Zhiyun passed the good news, but he couldn't figure out why they dared to rebel after thinking for three days and three nights.

"Your Highness, the eldest grandson Anye is already on the way of escort, what should we do with this person?" Xue Shou asked.

Li Zhiyun took out a fruit from the lacquer plate and put it in his mouth. After thinking for a while, he said, "Duke Xue has worked so hard and made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. You must ask him for his opinion."

Hearing this, Xue Shu's mouth twitched, "Your Highness is absolutely right."

Duke Xue's mansion.

After reading the good news in his hand, Changsun Shunde's eyes fell on the man opposite him.

"Du Canjun came here just to tell me about Huazhou's suppression of the rebellion?"

After taking a sip of tea, Du Yan shook his head and said, "Your Highness is sympathetic to Xue Guogong, so he wants to ask Xue Guogong's opinion on the eldest grandson Anye."

ask?

Changsun Shunde sneered secretly, probably as a warning.

"Although the eldest grandson Anye is a member of my clan, it is a serious crime for him to rebel. I will obey the court's arrangement."

Although Changsun Shunde and Changsun Anye share the same surname and belong to the same family, they are actually quite far apart and basically have no contact with each other.

Especially, after the death of King Qin.

Changsun Shunde didn't want to go to Goguryeo to die when he was young, so he ran away decisively, hid in Taiyuan, and followed Li Yuan to rebel.

This person knows how to avoid disadvantages.

Du Yan nodded and said: "It's rare that Xue Guogong understands the righteousness, and I must tell His Royal Highness the King of Chu. However, when the official came, His Highness told the lower official that after the rebellion in Huazhou, Lizhou, and Weizhou, His Highness will be together. To decide the punishment of Li Xiaochang and others, before that, as long as Xue Guogong asks, His Highness will definitely understand Guogong."

"So, thank you, Your Highness, for my kindness."

"Good to say."

After sending Du Yan away, the eldest grandson Shunde had no time to rest, so he ran into Princess Qin who was looking for him.
