The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 340 Praying mantis catches cicada, unexpectedly the oriole is behind

It only took Huang Chao two hours to go from Lingxiao Palace to Senluo Difu.

The nobles and dignitaries whom he had hated for many years were trampled on like weeds, and Huang Chao's heart was full of revenge.

Huang Chao gathers his subordinates and prepares to hunt down his biggest enemy, the Dog Emperor of Datang.

He must catch the living, he must make the emperor well, so as to fulfill his wish and reach the pinnacle of life.

On the other side, he himself entered the temporary presence in the county, preparing to have an in-depth interaction with the captured dog emperor and concubines.

When he took out his weapon and was about to whip the emperor's concubine, the panicked guards rushed in.

"What's the hurry?" Huang Chao scolded very displeasedly, "I can't do without your share, let's wait for the general first."

The guards didn't talk nonsense to him, they rushed over and set up the yellow nest and ran out.

When Huang Chao was out, he was shocked to find that there was a lot of killing inside and outside the county, and countless Tang cavalry were galloping, screaming and slaughtering the dismounted and scattered bandit soldiers one after another.

After the thieves wiped out the princes, they naturally dismounted and looted everywhere. This is the nature of warriors in this era.

Even if Huang Chao ordered them to gather to chase after the dog emperor, everyone continued to search perfunctorily.

The wealth and goods that the ministers brought with them when they escaped from Chang'an City were wiped out.

It's a pity that when the search was the happiest, the cavalry led by Li Yunze caught up.

On the one hand, he dismounted from the combat state and was wandering around looking for good things.

On the one hand, after eating enough to nourish their spirits, they rushed forward in groups with high morale stimulated by the reward for catching Huang Chao.

It is not surprising that the situation on the battlefield is one-sided.

When Huang Chao came to his senses, the first thing he did was to take off the untied robe and throw it away, then turned around and rushed on a war horse, and went straight to the city gate without any muddle.

His extremely flamboyant golden sedan chair was simply thrown away.

It's like Li Xuan abandoned the nobles and nobles and successfully blocked Huang Chao's pursuit.

Huang Chao abandoned the soldiers inside and outside the city without hesitation, and used them to block Li Yunze's pursuit.

A fruit man ran away with a group of cavalry, which did not attract much attention.With the help of beggar-thy-neighbor tactics, Huang Chao managed to escape.

When the sky darkened and the entire county was illuminated by countless torches, the battle between the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole was barely over.

Entrenched in the city of Chang'an, many aristocratic families have passed down for an unknown number of years. The nobles and nobles were wiped out by Huang Chao's battle.

Only Emperor Li Xuan, who went out to play polo, led the prince and eunuchs to escape successfully.

He no longer dared to continue to stay near Chang'an City, and fled all the way like crazy, heading straight for Chengdu.

Huang Chao, who hadn't had time to celebrate, was immediately attacked by Li Yunze, and the more than [-] elite cavalrymen were almost lost, because when Li Yunze killed them, most of them didn't even ride horses.

dismounted elite cavalry
Many people even untied their armors and used them to store the goods they robbed.

There are also many people who broke into the house to bully the female relatives, or found wine, water and meat to feast on, without any fighting power at all.

"Commander." Ya Bing came over to salute, "I caught two or three thousand bandit soldiers, how should I deal with them?"

Li Yunze glanced at the corpses in Chinese costumes piled up on the long street, without paying any attention.

Turning his eyes to the houses that were knocked open on both sides, he frowned when he saw the miserable people. Is there anyone who is willing to do it himself?

hands-on. "

"only!"

There is no one who can be selected as a bandit elite cavalry without innocent blood on his hands.

So soon, batch after batch of bandit captives were dragged to the long street and disposed of in rows.

As for what they captured, it naturally became Li Yunze's spoils of war.

"All of it." Li Yunze waved his hand. "Everyone has a share. First divide according to military achievements, and then share the rest equally. Drinks, meat and food are also treated in the same way. Food is all distributed to the local Guizhou chiefs."

As soon as this remark came out, the nearby sergeants burst into cheers.

It's not that Li Yunze doesn't want to distribute goods, wine, meat and food to the local people, but that giving them these things in this troubled world is harming them.

Even if Li Yunze was able to control his troops, and even disperse the defeated soldiers from Huang Chao who were fleeing nearby, as well as the defeated soldiers from Jingyuan and Shuofang who were defeated and fled before, so what?

He still wants to be in Chang'an City, and Wugong will come and go through an unknown number of military towns.

According to the tradition of the warriors in this era, once the passing warriors realize that Qianshou has a lot of money, wine and meat, they must directly seal the city and slaughter it.

There was no other way, Li Yunze could only leave food for them.

The only way to really save the people is to end this damn troubled world.

Arriving at Xingzai, Li Yunze bowed his hands to several Li Xuan's concubines and saluted, "I will see you all later."

"Thank you General for saving me."

After exchanging pleasantries and compliments, the concubines said that they would ask Li Yunze to send troops to escort them to the emperor.

"No."

Li Yunze refused very flatly, "The last general has not many soldiers and horses, so they cannot be dispersed. You should either stay here and wait for His Majesty to return, or return to Chang'an City later."

Waiting for Li Xuan to return?
That's impossible, everyone knows what kind of temperament the dog emperor is, how could he have the courage to come back after being so frightened.

You can go to Chang'an City.
"Wuliang Tianzun." At this time, a Taoist priest came out and saluted Li Yunze, "The poor Taoist has seen the general."

Li Yunze was slightly puzzled, "You are?"

"The impoverished Du Guangting."

"Du Guangting?" Li Yunze was extremely surprised.

Du Guangting showed doubts on his face, "The general recognizes the poor?"

Of course I don't recognize you, but I do know your name.

As an extremely important master in the history of Taoism, Du Guangting's reputation and contribution are both great.

Just like his predecessor Luo Gongyuan accompanied Li Longji to Chengdu, he also accompanied Li Xuan to Chengdu.

After that, many prayer ceremonies such as the continuation of the country were held in Chengdu.

Several years later, Li Xuan returned to Chang'an City, but he stayed behind.

Du Guangting stayed in Qingcheng Mountain near Chengdu to practice, and wrote many works on the geography of mountains and rivers, the origin of Taoism, and the deeds of people.

He is not only an important figure in the history of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, but also a turning point in the entire history of Chinese Taoism.

Consciously sort out the various Taoist classics and materials of the previous generation, and make a theoretical summary, which has achieved fruitful results and achievements.

In addition, Du Guangting is also a writer. He created "The Biography of the Curly Bearded Guest", which is the story of Li Jinghong's Buddha girl and the Qiubearded Guest.

He also wrote two pagoda poems "Ji De" and "Nostalgia for the Past and the Present", and he is a proper all-around talent.

Before Du Guangting practiced Taoism in a room in the backyard, the bandit soldiers who rushed in saw that he was a Taoist priest, but they didn't have much trouble.

When Li Yunze arrived and the bandits ran away, he was able to escape.

"Teacher, please sit down." Li Yunze, who had a cold face before, showed a smile at this moment, and stretched out his hand to signal Du Guangting to sit down, "I don't know what the boss wants to say?"

"Don't dare."

Du Guangting did not sit down, but saluted and said, "Poverty once vowed to escort your majesty to Sichuan and Sichuan, and please send someone to escort me to find your majesty."

"Let me tell you the truth." Li Yunze pondered for a while, and then said, "It is impossible to give soldiers. I have to take them back to Chang'an City to defend the city. Every soldier is a very valuable defense force. Besides , once you leave the army and walk on a deserted road
On the way, the sergeants escorting you may turn into robbers. "

Having said that, he turned his eyes to the pale-faced concubines, "What unbearable things will happen at that time, so there is no need to say more."

Of course, needless to say, in this chaotic world where warriors are in power, the Taoist priests are slaughtered first when they are in a no-man's land, and then these girls are arranged in this way and so on. , who can find it?

Even if the guard team of less than 500 people is not wiped out by the ulterior motives of the bandits along the way, the above situation is very likely to happen.

The concubines flinched, but Du Guangting nodded with a smile and said goodbye to Li Yunze and others.

Even if you trek across mountains and rivers alone, you must fulfill your oath to escort your majesty to the land of Sichuan and Shu.

Looking at his leaving back, Li Yunze didn't give money or anything.

Sending money to Du Guangting is the rhythm of hating him forever.

Again, warriors are not the only ones in troubled times. Although they have to bear the big blame, there are also a large number of various small blame.

Picking up a hoe is plowing the land in Guizhou, and putting down the hoe is the local people from all over the country cutting the path and making strong men.

Xiaoju mountains and forests, singing "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave behind Cheng Yaojin who buys road money" to go with you.

There are soldiers and horses everywhere, if you are upset, they will directly draw their knives.

The local evil officials and the country's rogues forced their families to be ruined and their lives would be worse than death.

Fadu has lost its deterrence, and everyone is living under the threat of force, living a precarious life.

This is the true face of troubled times, not just hundreds of thousands of warriors fighting around.

The concubines decided to go back to Chang'an City with Li Yunze. After all, it was impossible for Li Xuan to come back to them, and it was impossible for them to go to the emperor by themselves.

You can't wait for the army to retreat, just stay here and let the rout soldiers line up anxiously at the door.

Speaking of routs, when Li Yunze packed up the battlefield and was about to go back, some routs came to him on their own initiative.

"You still have the face to come back?"

Li Yunze on horseback looked contemptuously at the many routs of Jingyuan and Shuofang towns in front of him, "You guys fled without a fight, causing Cheng Jiedu and Tang Jiedu to fight and die, how dare you say you want to serve me ?”

The soldiers and horses behind him laughed loudly when they heard this, mocking their colleagues.

A lieutenant of the Shuofang Military Academy was unwilling to reply, "If the imperial court does not distribute money and food to us, we will naturally not work for the imperial court. What's wrong with that?"

The logic of warriors in this era is so simple. If you have money, I am yours. If you don’t have money, who knows who you are?Just like some later generations. Ahem.

"What the imperial court owes you, did the two Jiedu envoys ever owe you?"

Li Yunze knew that he had no way to forcibly change the thinking of all the warriors in the world. His expression was very intuitive, "I would not dare to use you, but one day I will be betrayed by you when I go to the battlefield!"
