First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 271 Ran Zhao Returns

...

Ran Zhao, who came later, saw the situation and was furious, and immediately ordered: "The whole army presses up."

Although Ran Zhaoze, Du Biao and the others were courageous and resourceful, they were not professional soldiers after all. Chen Qian was a former school lieutenant in the Sui Army, and was promoted step by step to General Hussars. From Gao Chong's point of view, Chen Qian was He is the representative of the officers and generals, which is why Li Xiaogong left Chen Qian to Gao Chong.

Seeing the barbarians pressing up, Chen Qian ordered to change formation again, and at the same time ordered: "Cavalry attack."

Without Chen Qian's order, Gao Chong, who was cruising in the alleyway on the right, immediately shouted: "Pierce through" when he saw the barbarians marching out. among the crowd.

The impact of the cavalry is no small matter. Two hundred cavalry are already quite deterrent in this city. They rush in like a torrent. The barbarians are horrified, but there is nowhere to escape in this street. There are countless.

Gao Chong easily pierced through the barbarians, split them into two parts, and then rushed into the opposite street without stopping, but disappeared.

Ran Zhao had a terrified expression on his face. At this critical moment, Ran Zhao suddenly turned around and "defended the back".

Sure enough, Gao Chong charged up from the rear, relying on the horizontal and vertical layout of Yun'an City, Gao Chong led the cavalry to the end of the street, turned their horses around, and went straight to Ran Zhaoze's rear.

"Ran Zhaoze", Gao Chong's eyesight is very good, he saw Ran Zhaoze, who was in charge of the rear army at a glance, immediately patted his horse and rushed up at full speed.

The barbarians had few horses, so they had no choice but to resist with their flesh and blood. Gao Chong borrowed his horsepower, and with a sweep of his spear, they were sent flying. With the light of the fire, Gao Chong could clearly see the horrified Ran Ran It's up to you.

"Get off the horse," Gao Chong grinned, raised his long spear and threw it at Ran Zhaoze.

Ran Zhaoze is not a person who has no strength to restrain a chicken, so he immediately raised his knife to resist, and there was a crisp sound, and the horizontal knife in Ran Zhaoze's hand was immediately knocked away, and then he slapped the tail of the lance, and slapped Ran Zhaoze off the horse. .

"Surrender, don't die", Ran Zhaoze was about to struggle to get up, when he saw that the blood-dripping lance had already reached his throat, Gao Chong immediately shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Ran Zhao sighed, "Everyone stop."

Seeing Ran Zhao's order, the barbarians who were stubbornly resisting in the surrounding corner stopped one after another, Du Biao rushed to him covered in blood, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty...".

Ran Zhao sighed, "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Zhao Xing's words." With a clang, the weapon in Du Biao's hand fell to the ground.

In just one night, Yun'an City was restored, the leader of the bandits, Ran Zhaoze, and General Du Biao were captured alive, killing more than [-] enemies.

In the Yun'an County Yamen, Gao Chong took the chief seat, while Ran Zhaoze and several barbarian generals were tied up next to him, "Ran Zhaoze, why do you insist on rebelling if you don't do a good job of opening the prefectural governor's history?"

Ran Zhao didn't change his face, and asked directly: "Who are you?"

Gao Chong smiled, "I forgot to introduce myself, the governor of Kuizhou in the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Anling Gao Chong", as if he remembered something, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My father was once the comfort ambassador of Shannan, you should know him."

"Gao Junya?" Ran Zhaoze immediately asked in surprise, then nodded at Gao Chong and sighed: "The tiger father has no dogs."

At the beginning, he was afraid of Gao Jun's elegant soldiers, so he submitted the form just now.

At this time, Pan Ding arrived with a group of Jinzhou barbarians, "Gao Changshi, all the city gates have been cleared."

Gao Chong nodded, "Brothers have worked hard, we still need to be more vigilant tonight, and there will be a lot of rewards tomorrow." After hearing this, all the barbarians thanked him one after another.

Du Biao on the side recognized their identity as barbarians, and gritted his teeth, "You traitors, you actually treat the Han people like cows and horses."

Pan Ding was furious immediately when he heard the words, and he slapped his ears when he stepped forward, "Give up, I now treat them as brothers."

Gao Chong couldn't help nodding when he saw it. Pan Ding was an upright man after all. After he recognized the barbarians in Nangong Mountain as his own, he put aside his previous suspicions, especially after fighting side by side, he believed that the friendship was even deeper.

The barbarian general headed by Jinzhouna was very moved, and he stepped forward and said: "Now the clansmen can farm land, have grain seeds, farm tools, and children can read and write. It is much better than before."

Ran Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the barbarians in Jinzhou to be so loyal to Datang now.

Generally speaking, after being attached to the imperial court, the government would distribute grain and agricultural tools symbolically, and exempt them from taxes to make them feel at ease. Ran Zhao knew this long ago, and this was just a way for the Han emperor to buy people's hearts.

But just now the Jinzhou barbarian said that he could read and write, which made Ran Zhaoze very surprised.

Seemingly aware of Ran Zhaoze's question, Pan Ding, an illiterate martial artist, raised his head and said, "Reading, do you know? Gao Changshi gave ten boxes of books to the barbarians in Nangong Mountain, and later the King of Lujiang sent scholars into the mountain to spread the word. Learning, you bastard, you will never learn the knowledge from books in your whole life."

Although Pan Ding is a martial artist, he still maintains a bit of respect for scholars. After all, in traditional thinking, scholars are the stars of Wenqu, and they are all officials who sit in the court.

Hearing this, Ran Zhaoze was a bit shocked, and looked at Gao Chong, "Don't you Han people always despise us barbarians?"

Gao Chong shook his head, stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked in front of Ran Zhaoze.

"That's prejudice. The king of Qin once said that since ancient times, all are noble, luxurious and despised barbarians. Only he loves them as one. The Han, Hu, and barbarians are all Chinese. There has never been a distinction between high and low. The Chinese have never been based on blood. It is cultural identity, as long as you have the heart to learn, advocate benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, then you are one of your own people, if you are still ruthless, barbaric and ignorant, then you are the barbarians crowned with monkeys."

Ran Zhao was silent for a long time, before he sighed: "Although I don't know if what you said is true, but I finally know why that reckless Deng Shiluo really surrendered. I also ask Gao Changshi to report to the court that the Kaizhou barbarians are willing to surrender."

Gao Chong helped Ran Zhaoze up, and said with a smile, "You are a smart man, and Lingdi is even more so, I hope you don't make mistakes."

At this time, a lieutenant of the Tang Army took Hu Dayong to the court, "Reporting to the long history, the humble officer found that this person was detained in the backyard, and he claimed to be the county magistrate of Yun'an."

"I am Shi Gaochong, the governor of Kuizhou, and you are Hu Mingfu?" Gao Chong looked at Hu Dayong, and when he saw his face, Gao Chong nodded slightly. Even though it was late at night, Hu Dayong was still in high spirits, his face was resolute, and he looked very innocent. Is a whole body proud.

"Hu Dayong, the county magistrate of Yun'an, has met Gao Changshi." Hu Dayong tidied up his clothes, bowed in a serious manner, and then asked, "How did Gao Changshi regain Yun'an overnight?"

Hearing this, Gao Chong laughed and said, "When Ran Zhaoze sent troops, I led the troops here, but I was a step too late, and taught Hu Mingfu to suffer."

Hu Dayong looked at Ran Zhaoze at the side, and snorted coldly, "Gao Changshi saved the people of Yun'an from fire and water, and I am here to thank you. I also ask Gao Changshi to behead this official quickly to show the public's anger."
