Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 257 Capture the God's Pool
Never put all eggs in one basket, this is the survival rule of aristocratic families for thousands of years.Now Datang has lost almost all of its cities, only Haozhou and Weizeguan are still holding on.

Li Zhongwen is the grandson of Li Bi, the Duke of Zhao Guo in the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Li Mi's cousin.As the general manager of Bingzhou, Li Zhongwen led the remnants to retreat to Haozhou, but he barely protected himself and was unable to counterattack.As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy to get, but charcoal in the snow is hard to find.Li Zhongwen persisted in Haozhou, but in fact he did not get much support from the aristocratic family in Haozhou.Taiyuan was lost, and Liu Wuzhou almost killed the family members of the Taiyuan family in order to obtain military funds. The gentry in Haozhou was afraid that after Liu Wuzhou broke the city, they would follow the example of Taiyuan, so the gentry in Haozhou would definitely communicate with Liu Wuzhou. Take refuge.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji thought of sending Chai Shao to Hedong at the same time, the purpose was actually to take advantage of Chai Shao's identity.Some people will say, isn't Chai Shao from Linfen?What does it have to do with Haozhou?In fact, Haozhou was changed to Fenzhou in the third year of Wude.In other words, Chai Shao is from Haozhou.Chai Shao's father, Chai Shen, the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, was the Duke of Julu County.His grandfather, Chai Lie, was the Duke of the Champion County of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great General of Hushi, while Chai Shao was the Duke of Huo Guo.

The Chai family of Fenzhou, with a family of three males, is now the leader of the Fenzhou aristocratic family.Only when Chai Shao secretly went to Haozhou would it be possible to persuade the powerful support of the Haozhou clan. As long as he had the support of the Haozhou clan, Li Zhongwen could break the deadlock and even counterattack Taiyuan, before Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng could recover Taiyuan, won the first contribution of Hedong, thus downplaying Li Jiancheng's contribution.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the power of the aristocratic family was really too great.They hide a large number of people, possess a large amount of wealth and supplies, have people, money, and equipment, and they can pull up an army anytime, anywhere.

Chai Shao has been unhappy with Chen Ying for a long time, as long as it can ruin Chen Ying's good deeds, Chai Shao will do it without hesitation.Before Li Shimin could speak, Chai Shao got up immediately and said, "His Royal Highness, Shao is willing to go to Haozhou for a visit!"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said: "No, it's too dangerous. Hedong is in the hands of the enemy. If you lead too many people and the target is too big, it is very easy to be discovered by Liu Wuzhou. If you lead fewer people, your safety cannot be guaranteed. !"

"It doesn't matter!" Chai Shao said, "Shao is from Haozhou, and now he returns to the village, and the folks in the village will always help out. Although Liu Wuzhou's army surrounded Haozhou, Haozhou is still the Haozhou of Haozhou people."

Li Shimin thought about it too.

The township party is a very large form of power in this era.The fellow villagers are very affectionate, and they are all very exclusive.When Chai Shao returned to Haozhou, he could indeed get twice the result with half the effort.Of course, at this time he really had no better way.Now that Liu Wenjing is being questioned, it must be more or less auspicious.If Li Jiancheng is allowed to regain the power of Hedong, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng's power will rise even more in the future, and the Qin Palace will definitely be destroyed by then.Only by breaking the deadlock in Haozhou can there be room for relaxation.

Chai Shao set off overnight with a dozen of Chai's private soldiers. Since Chang'an City was closed at night, Chai Shao and others were hoisted down the city wall one by one in a hanging basket.

Chai Shao rode a steed in the farm outside Chang'an City, and galloped towards Haozhou at full speed.

Although Fang Xuanling was as clever as a monster, he never imagined that no matter how Chai Shao tried to rush, even he Fei could not recover Taiyuan before Chen Ying.

……

Linhu is the ancient place name of Pianguan County.The environment in Linhu is very complex, with undulating hills and ravines.When he walked to Linhu Hanguang Ridge, Xu Jingzong looked at the precipitous cliffs as high as a screen, full of doubts.There are steep cliffs on both sides of this valley in Han Guangling, and there are also strange rocks in the valley, but even in the narrowest place, four horses can walk together.

Xu Jingzong asked the guide, this valley is only occasionally visited by hunters.

Xu Jingzong asked very strangely: "I heard that Captain Zhang and General Chen are old acquaintances?"

Speaking of Chen Ying, Zhang Huaiwei was full of pride on his face: "Speaking of which, General Chen was still my soldier back then, and I was the team leader back then..."

Zhang Huaiwei's language skills are not strong, so after talking for half an hour, he finally captured Chen Ying from Jingyang and killed Zong Luohu. Ashina and Li Fu set up and other things to talk about it again.

In less than half an hour, it was enough for Zhang Huaiwei and Yu Guni's troops to arrive under Qingyangling from Han Guangling.At this time, Xu Jingzong was even more puzzled. He kept looking up at the dangerous terrain on both sides. He couldn't figure it out anyway. How did Chen Ying know that there was such a road here, and he was sure that this road must be Nearly [-] infantry cavalry can pass here smoothly.

It is impossible for Chen Ying not to know about the side pass if others don't know about it.As the barrier of the Ming Dynasty, the Outer Three Passes have always been the frontline of resisting the Mongolian army.Of course, the tragic battle took place in the 15th year of Chongzhen. Shanxi general Zhou Yuji resisted the rebels here. Zhou Yuji resisted for five days and five nights. Under the attack of the rebels, the Ming army ran out of ammunition and food. Guancheng was breached.The thieves and rebels broke through the three outer passes, and then slaughtered Ningwu, leaving behind all the babies and children, and many people were killed.

It is a pity that more than [-] corpses were left behind in the Civil War for this little-known pass.It has to be said that this is a great irony.

Along the rugged valley, Tang Jun walked with difficulty, passing under Baiyangling Mountain, Caoduo Mountain, and Mingdeng Mountain. When passing Mingdeng Mountain, a smooth road appeared.Zhang Huaiwei was finally relieved to enter the Shenchi.

Xu Jingzong asked Zhang Huaiwei: "Are you sure that General Chen has never been to Hedong?"

Zhang Huaiwei shook his head and said, "Of course not. When we were in Jingyang, General Chen and I were eating in the same ladle. At that time, he said that he had never been out of Guanzhong! I really can't figure it out, General Chen Why are you so sure that you can enter Shenchi through Linhu Lake!"

"If you can't figure it out, that's right. That's why you are the captain of the fifth rank Zhechong, and he is the general of the third rank Wuwei." Xu Jingzong was really jealous of Zhang Huaiwei. It is used as cannon fodder, and the grass on the grave is estimated to be three feet high.

Thanks to Chen Ying, Zhang Huaiwei is not only living a good life, but is now an official of the fifth rank.

Xu Jingzong naturally recalled that when Chen Yingwei was the right guard and led the Xun Erfu to rush to the captaincy, he had intentionally wooed him.If I chose to follow Chen Ying, I am afraid that I would not be a sixth-rank official, or I could have become a fourth-rank Lingzhou governor.

Xu Jingzong secretly made up his mind that he must follow in Chen Ying's footsteps, maybe he can make his family famous.

From Linhu to Shenchi, although the road is not good, the horses can trot. Yu Guni was depressed by the forty-mile-long valley of Linhu. Seeing a good road, he couldn't wait to order to speed up the march.Shenchi is located behind Yanmen Pass, and it was never expected that Tang Jun would appear.When Yu Guni led the Lingwu Zuo Army to appear under the city of Shenchi, the captain of Shenchi defending the city surrendered without firing an arrow.

Without a single soldier, he easily captured Shenchi.
