son-in-law

Chapter 750
In the second year of Daxing, the first day of March.

When King Qin came to Luoxi, at the Thirty-mile Station, he saw the Shence Army of Laoshi's expedition.

From Chang'an to Luoyang for more than [-] miles, it took a total of ten days for the three divisions of the Shence Army to receive orders, set out, join forces at Tongguan, and then arrive at Luoyang.

The troops that King Qin saw were disorganized and exhausted.

There are still two thousand miles away from Luanzhou, and when they get there, they will be exhausted.

There is a logical reason behind the seemingly unreasonable transfer.The three clans watched each other, if the Tang family did not send troops, the other two would not send troops, then this battle would be impossible.

At this time, Meng's Flying Tiger Army and Ximen's Tiger and Ben Army had already crossed the Yellow River, but they did not continue to go north, but waited in Xiangzhou for the Shence Army to go north together.

After receiving news from Gongsunxiong, Yuguan has been lost.Of the [-] male Jia soldiers and civilians who resisted the invasion, only less than [-] escaped, and the rest were swallowed up by the tsunami-like attack of the Khitans.When the Khitan entered the customs, they were chopped up with knives and axes, leaving almost no survivors.It is a way to vent anger, but also a kind of deterrence.

Poor [-] soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, how desperate they were when the city wall collapsed.It is said that at the last moment, the guard Uleman led people to seal the gap in the city wall to buy time for the women to escape.But the enemy's charge smashed their weak line of defense.

The Khitans didn't rest, the cavalry chased them with swords and guns, and hung the head of the male Jia general Orman on the flag.Gongsunxiong abandoned Luanzhou and retreated from Dadu (Yanzhou). He joined forces with Xiangzhou soldiers and Zhengzhou soldiers who came from afar, and decided to defend Dadu.

The Khitan cavalry moved quickly and had already cut off Gubeikou's connection with Dadu. At this time, the Mozhou army stationed at Gubeikou could not withdraw.However, the Mozhou army has a lot of food, grass and equipment, even if they are blocked at Gubeikou, they will not panic.Relying on the iron armored soldiers to guard against death, Gongsun Xiong estimated that they could last at least a month.

At this time, we only need to wait for the arrival of the powerful clan army to relieve the siege of Yanzhou (Dadu), and then the siege of Gubeikou will naturally be released.And Gongsun Xiong, Zhao Huang and others have been besieged in the city, and for some time to come, no battle report from the headquarters of the National Guard Army will be sent to the court.

In the last battle report, Gongsun Xiong said that he hoped that the imperial court would send more soldiers, because only relying on [-] soldiers from powerful clans could not guarantee the relief of Yanzhou.

"The headquarters of the National Defense Army is trapped in Yanzhou, so how will the remaining 9 people be dispatched?"

"In the past, when encountering such a situation, another general would be elected to lead the team northward."

"Who can take on this important task?"

If you want to command the army of the Three Clans at the same time, this person's prestige must be high enough.If Prince Rui Zhao Man was still there, it must be Prince Rui who led the troops to the north, but Prince Rui had already passed away, so it's worth not mentioning it.

If Da Sima Tang Zhen is in the court, he is naturally an excellent candidate.But now that Tang Zhen is stuck in the quagmire of Chang'an Road tax reform, he can't get out of it. In everyone's minds, Jing Guogong Meng Danqing is the first.

But at this moment, Meng Danqing's house is in a mess, and there are indeed difficulties.But Meng Danqing didn't move, and the old fox Ximen Zhensen also found various reasons for refusing to lead troops.

That leaves King Xian and King Kang.

King Xian refused to go out on the grounds that he was unwell, while King Kang pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to respond.

"Don't I have any sons in Daliang?" the black-robed queen mother angrily reprimanded.

The Manchu civil and military were silent.

……

Withdrawal, the queen mother moved to the apse.

King Qin, King Geng, and representatives of the Sanmen Faction also moved here to continue discussing who would lead the troops.

The best candidate in King Qin's heart was Zhang Yunlong. It would be even better if Zhang Yunlong's first division and Cao Sheng's second division went north together.But King Xian and King Kang didn't move, so the two of them wouldn't move, and Liang Chao really had no one left.It would not be possible to send Zhao Yafu up, so Cao Yuzan would never agree.

When choosing a general, if you only look at the title, two regents are enough.But the two of them had never fought before, and it always seemed too childish for an outsider to lead an insider, so Su Yu didn't volunteer to take on the job.

"I don't want to listen to the reason, I just want to determine the candidate as soon as possible." Cao Yuzhan said with a sullen face: "The Shence Army changed its course and crossed the river directly from Xiaopingjin. I have ordered the East Road to prepare a large number of boats along the bank. The army is advancing quickly. Now that the general is selected, we must leave immediately, otherwise we will fall behind the army and delay the opportunity of the battle."

You don't need Cao Yuzan to yell, everyone knows it in their hearts.

At this time, no one paid attention to her. The old master Tang Jiong came to the apse today and got together with Meng Danqing, Ximen Zhensen and the two regents, but pushed Cao Yuhan outside instead.

Cao Yuzan was sitting behind the curtain, and she couldn't get out, only listening to a group of people discussing outside.

After discussing and discussing, it finally fell on the two regents, and now they can only choose one of the two.

Tang Jiong said that although the two kings had never fought, they had enough status.You don't understand military affairs, but you can set off with experienced staff.Designed by the staff and ordered by the regent, they can also lead troops to fight.

The two kings looked at each other and frowned.

After being dull for a long time, King Geng Zhao Zhun said, "Let's talk in private."

Everyone was very knowledgeable and went to rest in the small room one after another. Only Cao Yuzan was still sitting behind the curtain.The little widow did not leave, and no one drove her away.

After all, there is still some distance, as long as the voice is quieter, Cao Yuhan still can't hear.

Zhao Zhun said in a low voice: "During the party struggle, I had many military advisers and staff around me. But after the party struggle failed, the Prince's party members were completely lost."

Seeing that Cao Yuzan was still not leaving, Zhao Zhun glanced at her, turned around and walked out with Su Yu: "Jin Feng knew how downcast I was at that time. Although I regained the king, I was just a puppet I can see clearly that King Kang will not give up the military power to me."

The second king walked out of the apse and came to an empty place. Zhao Zhun sighed, "Jinfeng still has a fourth division, and the officers there are your best staff. I also know that Zhu Xieke is in your team." Li. This man has the talent of a handsome man, and he can be worthy of a heavy responsibility."

Su Yu looked to the north: "I can go, but I don't think [-] soldiers are enough to guarantee victory."

Zhao Zhun said: "You take the fourth division away, and I will go to King Kang and send a division to go with you. As long as it is not Cao Sheng's second division, I think he will agree."

Su Yu thought for a while: "I want Liang Cong's No.12 teacher."

Liang Cong's No.12 division was the main force of King Kang during the Three Kings Rebellion.The troops were well equipped, brave and tenacious.

But Kang Wang did not agree to send that team to the battlefield, but sent Xue Yun's Ninth Division instead.

Xue Yun was the one who bypassed the Luohe River, went back to Hui'an Gate, killed Zhao Ting from behind, and defeated Zhu Xieke.

Su Yu felt that Kang Wang's arrangement was too insignificant.

The reason why Xue Yun was able to successfully detour to the rear of the Fourth Division was not because of how resourceful and brave Xue Yun was, but because of the mutiny of the No.11 Division under Prince Rui.Originally, Division No. 11 was stationed in the west, led by Zhonglang General Shi Beng, a member of Shatuo, but was killed by Zhao Guan, the hidden stake supervisor of King Kang.

So Xue Yun suddenly appeared from behind and caught Zhao Ting by surprise.Zhao Ting panicked and ran towards Zhu Xieke.And Zhu Xieke was in a decisive battle with Zhao Yafu, and even Zhu Xieke was seriously injured and defeated.

If there were no changes due to this, the current Emperor of the Liang Dynasty would be Zhao Ting, Prince Rui would be the Supreme Emperor, and Zhu Xieke would be the Great General Xuanjia.

……

The regent Zhao Yu was about to lead the expedition, and the news spread, causing an uproar.

"Is there no one in the Xuanjia Army? Why did you let you go?" Chang'an County Master heard about this, and raised his brows: "Why don't the five generals of Xuanjia not use it? Zhang Yunlong, Cao Sheng, Zhao Yafu, which one is not enough prestige, and which one is not the commander-in-chief?" talent?"

King Qin has answered questions like this many times.But no matter how he explained, the princess was still very annoyed, unable to think about it for a while, and felt uncomfortable in the room.

Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you win a battle, you may not survive. If you lose, you will be close to death.

The family members of the Tang family in Qinghuafang, all the masters and young masters of the Tang family are beautiful, but almost every family has a memorial archway for loyalty.The glory of the Tang Corporation is all in exchange for life.Among the eighteen sons of the Tang family, seven of them died during the fight against Sanhu.Many uncles of the Tang family also died. For example, Miss Eighth Tang Yun's husband died in the Battle of Gunmaling.

In the past ten years, news of successive deaths planted a disease in the heart of the princess.

But King Qin didn't have time to stay at home to coax his wife, and the military situation was urgent, so he notified the Fourth Division to assemble while arranging everything.For example, explain how Cao Renfeng, Li Dao, Wu Xing, Zhao Qi, and Li Fu should communicate and take care of each other during King Qin's departure from Beijing.

In particular, Lang Liaomin, the secretary of the Palace of the King who is in charge of the affairs of the Jinwu Guard, dispatched him and took him to see the Xian Wang, claiming that he must protect the safety of the Xian Wang.

When I came back from King Xian, I was going to bring some military advisers and staff.The three veteran generals who had just received the badges of the palace staff were not afraid, and wanted to go north with the King of Qin.But these three are really too old, Kong Xiaochun is 69, Wang Ting is 58, and Dian Gong is 81.

At the age of 81, he still has to go to war, and the bumpy road of two thousand miles will not break his bones?

But the old general was old-hearted and insisted on following, but he put forward one condition, hoping to bring his youngest son, Dianfeng, with him.

Qin Wang felt that the old man's arrangement was somewhat unreasonable, even if the old man was aggressive, he would not have to take his son to fight for his life.Later, I learned that Dian Feng stayed at home for too long, and was a little dazed.It seems possible to go crazy.He often beats people and destroys things at home, and sometimes weeps loudly.

Really pity the parents of the world.

The matter was urgent, and it was too late to wait for Tang Zhen to come back, so I just wrote him a letter, telling Tang Zhen that he had taken away the Dian Feng, and if Da Sima still wanted to use this person, he would return it to you in the future.

When Tang Jiong heard about this, he came to tell King Qin that Tang Qiong and Tang Zhen didn't need to worship, not just because he used military rations to make wine.That kid was addicted to alcohol and never changed after repeated admonitions.To use an analogy, he is like Chunyu Qiong at the end of the Han Dynasty. He is very capable in fighting, but he is unable to bear the heavy responsibility.

The king of Qin said that there is a lack of brave generals around him, so he will take him this time and supervise him personally.At this time, what King Qin was thinking was to let this "Chun Yuqiong" be completely ostracized and also serve as the wise king Sun Zhaofeng of the Second Brigade School of the Fourth Division.
